The north wind whined, rolling up countless dead leaves and dust, and in the wilderness and suburbs, dripping water turned into ice.

Bright red blood stains rolled up the remnants of snow, mixed with black dirt, and several human corpses were scattered on the dirty ground. The blood on the corpse was still bubbling and it was clear that he had just died......

Zhao Shu shook his wrist, put away the black gold mace, walked to his horse, patted its head, turned over and rode on. The black horse snorted, puffing out bursts of white smoke, and was extremely excited.

"Okay, I know you like thrills." Zhao Shu rubbed its neck, clamped his legs, and rode his horse south.

Yuan Lian was overjoyed when he saw him: "Lord Wang! ”

Zhao Shu stopped: "Cleaned up?" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Lian scratched his head, "I just didn't expect the other party to have a backhand, but fortunately, the prince is wise." ”

Zhao Shu bowed his head: "It's good to be sure." ”

Although King Su has never led troops to fight, he can be very scheming, and those who are trusted by him to follow and listen to the situation will not have less eyes.

Of course, Zhao Shu is not easy to bully, after more than ten years of fighting, the Western Xia Liao State is not without smart people, but no one has won him, what does it mean? Don't try to play tricks on him! Not to mention that he had already laid a net and waited for King Su's people to jump in, even under normal circumstances, if he sensed that something was wrong, it would be safe to deal with it.

Just now, he killed all the Su King's eyeliners, and also got their contact with their relatives, so that he could act boldly and not be afraid of anything!

"Clean up the scene and go back to Beijing!"

"Yes!" As soon as Zhao Zhu's order was issued, Yuan Lian immediately led people to act.

It's not too far from Shangjing, so let's go now, hurry up and get to the outside of Shangjing at night. At that time, there should also be the latest news from King Su......

Don't let him down!

……

Zhao Zhu didn't wait long, as soon as the qiē was ready, Yuan Lian got on the horse and walked at the front of the team with Zhao Zhu. Bored on the road, Yuan Lian began to ponder the time, "Go outside the capital tonight and collect the news of King Su, tomorrow the emperor and the princess will open the coffin for an autopsy?" So tomorrow night, will King Su move? Well...... It's good to throw yourself into the net, let's catch a shape, close an opening, just even the pot is served, and you don't even need to spend money! ”

Muttering to himself for a while, Yuan Lian looked at Zhao Zhu, who had a solemn expression and an incomparable momentum, leaned over and whispered: "Lord Wang, when you get outside the capital, can you enter the city." ”

Zhao Shu slanted at him from the corner of his eyes, with a look of arrogance, 'This king used you to say, when did this king fall off the chain in a fight'.

Yuan Lian's eyes glanced to the side: "But the princess...... Am I not afraid that you will be worried? ”

Zhao Zhu's eyebrows were solemn, and his eyes became sharp: "The matter of the princess, can you also say?" ”

"You can't be murderous at me, I'm your vanguard, and I'm going to be the first to rush out and kill the enemy!" Yuan Lian's sturdy body trembled, then straightened again, and his eyes were very firm.

Zhao Shu snorted coldly, "You underestimate your princess too much." ”

"No......" Yuan Lian has seen countless murderous moments of the princess with his own eyes, how dare he underestimate it? It's just that in this regard, he is a little worried about the prince, don't hold back thinking too much about his daughter-in-law and sneak into the city, it's very risky!

And...... Yuan Lian's eyes wandered: "Tomorrow, the princess will open the coffin with the emperor for an autopsy, isn't the prince worried at all?" ”

They are facing King Su who has a lot of eyes, is very deeply hidden, and has a lot of patience!

"Don't worry." Zhao Zhu's demeanor was very calm, "Lu Li will definitely succeed." ”

Yuan Lian is not worried about the princess's ability, he is worried about another point: "The princess is pure and good by nature, if the autopsy result is really wrong, it will be beneficial to King Su......"

In the plan, the reason for making so many dramas is to contain King Su, as long as King Su's mind is diverted, King Ping's actions will be smoother, and it doesn't matter what the truth is. But Lu Li is different from ordinary pretends, he has his own ideals in his heart, and he is obsessed with the truth, and if he gets an unbearable conclusion, he must be very uncomfortable.

He is uncomfortable, and his own prince will also be uncomfortable? Wouldn't you want to go into the city to see and comfort you?

The corners of Zhao Shu's lips were slightly hooked, and his smile was unexpectedly revealed, "You still underestimate Lu Li too much, he can tell the difference between small righteousness and great righteousness." ”

If you say that two years ago, the ignorant teenager I saw for the first time might be confused and angry, but now this Lu Li, who has experienced a lot of ups and downs and has seen the secular people's feelings, will not. He still has the beliefs and ideals in his heart, but he has understood that the world is not black and white, and some things need to be compromised or retreated. There is not only one side to the ideal appearance, and there is not only one way to realize understanding.

Yuan Lian, Yuan Lian can't interpret his prince's current expression, narcissistic? Miss? Admiration? Satisfy? Looking for something dissatisfied? In short, it's complicated.

However, as the first lieutenant under King Ping, it is good to kill the enemy bravely, Yuan Lian consciously reminded the matter, so he no longer worries and concentrates on hurrying.

……

Lu Li got up very early that day.

He pushed the door open, and the sun shone brightly. On nine cold days, no matter how bright the sun is, it will not bring too much heat, and the mouth and nose are full of white smoke between breathing. But the snow on the wall has not yet melted, and the cool air has a unique fresh breath, refreshing and refreshing, which makes people feel good.

"Little oak!" Shen Wansha ran over with a snort, bent over and panting on his knees, "Hurry, hurry up, we're going to open the coffin for an autopsy!" ”

This is a bit earlier.

Lu Li was surprised: "When did you get up?" "Get up, clean up, and run all the way from Shen Mansion to here...... He was a little distressed, and patted the young master's back to give him relief, "Are you tired?" ”

"Of course...... Tired ......" Shen Wansha gasped, feeling that something was wrong, and shook his head, "No, I'm here to call you!" Quick, go autopsy! ”

Lu Li: ...... "It's too early. ”

"Early? Is it early? Shen Wansha tilted his head, "I heard that the coffin of Princess Su arrived at the second watch last night, and there was a word from the palace that it would be inspected early in ......the morning."

Lu Li touched his head, "The emperor has a lot of state affairs, and he needs to be prepared for travel, so it can't be so fast." ”

The plan needs to create a shocking effect, and naturally the people need to watch and cheer, so it's too early, who is outside? The emperor is wise, how could he not think of this?

Shen Wansha was still a little worried, thinking that the emperor could be late, and their subjects couldn't be late! And what if the emperor really arrives early?

Lu Li sighed helplessly, and asked Hu Weiwei to watch it in person, and once she saw the news of the emperor's royal drive, she immediately came to report, "That's all right, right?" ”

Shen Wansha nodded, "Hmm." "It's a big deal, run faster.

Lu Li pulled him into the room for breakfast. Shen Wansha was still worried, first, he was worried that King Su would find some helper to interfere with the matter; Second, I am worried that this matter will find out that the first emperor is really wrong, what should I do. He asked questions in a low voice while looking at Lu Li.

As Zhao Shu said, Lu Li did not have the slightest resistance to this matter.

If the first emperor is really wrong, he has been dead for many years, and he cannot be punished for his guilt, and this social form is different, the monarch has great authority, and his many things will shake the foundation of the country and the faith of the people, and it is not beneficial. It is about King Su's rebellion and social harmony, he can't pit the people of Daxia for his own pursuit of the truth, and let them be in a dire war, even if they are really uncomfortable, they can't get over this hurdle, they can wait for the matter to pass.

As for the helpers, he is even more afraid. Almost all the famous works in Daxia are Yu Zhi students, even if they are not Yu Zhi students, they have also been assigned by Yu Zhi, Yu Zhi will also go today, it is estimated that there will not be much difficulty.

He explained it like this, and Shen Wansha was relieved.

……

At three o'clock, Lu Li and Shen Wansha set off and arrived at the square where the coffin was parked, but Emperor Taijia had not yet come.

Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha with a smile: "How is it, what I said is right?" ”

"Well......" Shen Wansha looked at the crowd around the scene, "There are a lot of people!" ”

Lu Li is not surprised, the matter is so big, the news is so open, it is not surprising that there are not so many people. He looked around the field, found Yu Zhi's location, and walked over.

Yu Zhi has been paying attention to the work in the capital since he received Lu Li's message, and when Lu Li came over, he immediately expressed his doubts: "It's very strange, King Su listened to the situation in the upper capital, and didn't mean to ask anyone for help." ”

"Normal." Lu Li smiled and said, "The opening of the coffin and the autopsy is ordered by the emperor himself, and he will definitely personally appoint someone to take care of it later, if King Su directly asks someone to help, wouldn't it be clear that he is dissatisfied with the emperor?" ”

Shen Wansha's small eyebrows twisted: "But he doesn't do anything?" ”

"Of course it's impossible not to do nothing," Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and his smile deepened, "It's just that it can't be too obvious." ”

This is a large open space outside North Street, which is usually very empty when holding special temple fairs during festivals or large-scale markets. Now in the middle of this open space, there is a pair of Nanmu coffins with a raised head, the style and pattern are noble and atmospheric, and the one inside should be the concubine of King Su.

The throne is vacant in the north, which should be reserved for the emperor, and there are tables on the east and west sides, which are reserved for the officials and lords to sit, and Lu Li and Yu Zhi are sitting a little farther away on the west side. As for the people, they form a circle from west to east, and the south side is the thickest and most populous.

Now that the emperor has not arrived, the coffin board reflects the sunlight, as if exuding a cold smell, and the onlookers are whispering, not knowing what to say.

Lu Li and Yu Zhi arrived in one place, the topic is inseparable from the autopsy, there is a coffin here today, the princess of Su has been dead for many years, and the topic of their autopsy is related to the bone examination. The two of them leaned over slightly, their expressions were solemn and serious, and they spoke with relish.

Shen Wansha: ...... Is that really good? Have you forgotten what you came here for today?

Shen Wansha didn't dwell on it for too long, because Emperor Taijia came.

Six leads, twelve banners, sword and arrow team, cavalry team, band, jade chariot, peacock fan, small group fan, square fan, Huang Lu, Jiang Lu, Xuanwu building, all officials Gong Wei followed...... The emperor's travel can be described as huge.

The people knelt down to greet him, the emperor sat down and shouted, and then the attendants recited the holy decree, and today's coffin autopsy kicked off.

Shen Wansha stood beside Lu Li, his expression a little dazed. I was anxious to wait before, but now that I started so soon, I can't react a little, doesn't King Su say something?

His gaze was on King Su.

King Su was dressed in the royal clothes, his hands were tied, his eyebrows were slightly condensed, as usual, there was no special feeling. The people standing behind him were all familiar subordinates, and they didn't pretend......

So King Su didn't have any preparations?

Impossible, right......

Shen Wansha looked at Lu Li again.

Lu Li has a smile on his face, modest and confident, and his temperament is like a bamboo. His gaze also swept over King Su, but he didn't stop at all, as if there was nothing to care about.

Didn't you find out about King Su?

Shen Wansha shook his head intuitively, no, it can't be. Lu Li is very observant, and it is impossible for him to see what he sees, he can't see. So what is this......

Just thinking about it, Emperor Taijia spoke.

"This time the coffin was opened for autopsy, not avoiding hundreds of officials, not avoiding all people, only seeking the truth. I heard that the most outstanding gentleman in the line is surnamed Yu, where is Yu Zhi? ”

Yu Zhi hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt in the middle of the field, "The lower official is here." ”

"This coffin autopsy, can you take care of it?"

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials are old and frail, and they are worried that they will not be able to do it-"

"Then you recommend someone."

Yu Zhi didn't know that King Su was going to rebel, but this coffin autopsy was very important, there was Zhao Zhu and Lu Li in the front, and the emperor's inner servants mentioned it, he knew that he had to avoid the edge. And the autopsy line, he was convinced by Lu Li, and he also wanted to see more Lu Li's post-mortem study, and he didn't care much about the false name when he was older, so he recommended Lu Li, he didn't have any opinion at all, but looked forward to it.

"The lower official recommends Mr. Lu Li." Yu Zhi's expression was calm, and his voice was steady, "Mr. Lu's one-handed stunt, no one in my generation can compare, this time the coffin will be opened, and there will be no mistakes." ”

The cold wind blew, Yu Zhihua's white hair fluttered with the wind, and her thin body seemed to tremble. Everyone in the field looked at each other like a torch, no one would think that he had a problem with rejecting Emperor Taijia, if he was in charge, what if he passed out in the middle of the test?

Moreover, since Lu Li entered Beijing, he has cracked several major and important cases, and there are many witnesses on the piles, and his name is very big. There are good people who have compiled his experience into storytelling jokes, which are widely circulated, and whoever dares to say that he can't do it, he has no technology, I'm afraid the people won't agree.

"Lu Li? I remember...... I also gave me a sign. The corners of Emperor Taijia's lips raised slightly, "Where is Lu Li?" ”

Lu Li came out of the ranks, "The minister is here." ”

"You are in charge of the opening of the coffin, how about it?"

"I am willing to worry about the emperor!"

As soon as several people came and went, they agreed on this matter, and King Su had no opinion.

But someone couldn't see that he was wronged, and stood up and said: "Mr. Lu is highly skilled, but after all, he is young and not calm enough......" This person looked at Emperor Taijia's expression, and his mouth turned around, "It's better to find a deputy to help." ”

Emperor Taijia did not object, and only asked this person, "Who does Wang Aiqing think is suitable?" ”

This minister's surname is Wang, he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a hardcore of King Su, he glanced at King Su carefully, "The minister has never had contact with the servant on weekdays, and I don't know who is suitable, but this old Mr. Yu has been famous for a long time...... Just now there was a disciple standing beside him who was carrying a box on his back, presumably he valued it and had good skills, what did the emperor think? ”

Yu Zhi frowned slightly, and looked at the apprentice who was carrying the box on his back.

This apprentice's name is Liu Cheng, he is nearly thirty years old, and his personality is also very calm, which is indeed very satisfactory to him. Because today's event is difficult to see, Liu Cheng came over to join in the fun, and squeezed out the little apprentices to carry the box for him personally...... Why did you get into such a situation?

Lu Li looked past Liu Cheng and saw a familiar back...... White time!

Shen Wansha also saw it, his eyes almost popped out, what did Bai Shi come to do! Didn't you promise Zhao Shu that you couldn't appear in front of him when you saw that Lu Li was going to walk around? Is this looking for death or whatever!

When Liu Cheng was mentioned, he immediately came out to make a big salute.

Emperor Taijia's eyes raised slightly, and asked Yu Zhi, "What does the old gentleman think?" ”

Yu Zhi was a little incomprehensible, but still replied truthfully: "The apprentice Liu Cheng's skills are acceptable, and he has helped the government solve many cases in recent years, which can be useful." ”

Emperor Taijia nodded and asked Liu Cheng, "What about yourself?" ”

Liu Cheng's forehead was pressed against the ground, and his voice was very excited, "I am willing to serve the emperor!" ”

And so, the matter was settled.

……

When Lu Li turned around to prepare, Shen Wansha kept eyeing him and signaled him to look at Baishi: This person dares to appear in a grand manner, there must be a conspiracy!

Lu Li smiled at Shen Wansha and reassured him.

Bai Shi dared to appear, perhaps because Zhao Zhu was not in Shangjing, and perhaps because he had been recruited by King Su. But what he did before was too big and spread widely, and the emperor was here, he couldn't go on the field to perform an autopsy on anyone's behalf, and King Su wouldn't allow it. After all, King Su is not the emperor yet, and the reputation of the key node is very important and cannot be discarded. Bai Shi can only play the role of 'military advisor' at most, and put forward any opinions on this autopsy in advance, or use him to black Zhao Zhu at the last juncture of King Su.

In short, at this stage, Lu Li does not have to face Bai head-on, he only needs to be wary of the means he may use.

What will it do......

Hu Weiwei couldn't get used to Bai Shi, so while helping Lu Li put on a smock, she whispered to him: "Don't worry, master, with me staring at it, if Bai Shi dares to make a mistake, I will kill him!" Anyway, the prince also said this before, if you dare to appear in front of you in the morning, you must have the consciousness of death! ”

Lu Li shook his head: "The emperor is here, don't mess around!" ”

"What are you afraid of," Hu Weiwei's eyes were slanted, and her beautiful eyes were full of murderousness, "I have several poisons in my hands, I guarantee that he will not die at the scene, and no one can find out afterwards......"

That's right, poisoning!

Lu Li's eyes lit up violently, and everyone said that Princess Su was poisoned to death!

At that time, the news released by the first emperor that the concubine of King Su accidentally fell to her death, but it was rumored that she was poisoned...... That's the contradiction!

……

When Lu Li walked to the coffin in the field, his expression was calm with a smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes deliberately turned to Bai Shi, his eyebrows were full of confidence.

Bai Shi's clasped hands tightened violently, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes. That's this guy, that's guy! suddenly appeared, snatched King Ping, who he had been planning for a long time and would be able to break through immediately, and relied on King Ping's favor, forcing him to have no way out, it was really shameless!

Even putting on such a confident appearance?

This idiot doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the shit luck, King Ping would be able to take a fancy to him? Crafting techniques? What is that? The prince is proud and respectful, how can he fall in love because of these lowly things, it must be Lu Li's outstanding kung fu in bed, which hooked the soul of the prince!

Every time I think of this, Bai Shi hates it, he was too reserved at that time! King Ping is obviously good to others, as long as he can be as shameless as Lu Li, there is no matter of Lu Li now!

But...... No matter how good King Ping is, he is also a minister, and he now has a chance to talk to more powerful people! This autopsy is just a passing scene, and soon, he will be able to make Lu Li kneel in front of him, so that he can appreciate the face of the loser!

Bai Shi's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Liu Cheng.

……

It is said that it is an open coffin autopsy, but the corpse has been buried for more than 20 years, and there must be no flesh and skin, only white bones remain.

The soaphorns of the atractylodes around him were lit, and the ceremonial officer ordered someone to step forward and shouted: "Open the coffin-"

The guards stood at the four corners of the coffin, lifted the nails of the coffin, and worked hard in unison.

There was a dull thud from the coffin, and the lid was opened.

When the corpse dissipated, the guards carried the corpse cloth lining the inside, lifted the bones of the princess out, and put them on the corpse bed erected next to them.

The princess was wearing a blue satin robe, embroidered with delicate bird patterns, and it has not changed color much after more than 20 years, which shows the exquisite embroidery of the fabric. Her clothes were wide enough to cover her hands and feet, and her face was covered with gold leaf, and when she looked coldly, she didn't see any bones.

As soon as the coffin of Princess Yuerou ...... was opened, King Su began to feel sad, and now that she was carried out, he immediately couldn't stand it, hiding his face and crying out, in pain.

The surrounding people were originally very quiet, but when they saw King Su like this, they couldn't help but look sideways: "Lord Su is really affectionate." ”

"Princess Yan has been dead for so long, and she has already been buried in the ground, and now she has been opened and brought out, which is really a bit ...... Alas! ”

"But this can make the truth come out!"

"That being said, it's just a little too cruel for the living who think about her."

……

Lu Li heard the sounds around him, and thought flashed between his eyebrows. But he didn't stop walking towards the corpse.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden flower in front of him, and Liu Cheng crossed him: "Mr. Lu is the chief of the autopsy, it's not good to be too tired, and the matter of stripping and taking bones is done by this deputy." ”

He didn't listen to Lu Li's reply, he stepped forward directly, and his fingers were flexible to untie the princess's clothes.

As his fingers flipped over, the clothes on Princess Yan's body were peeled off one by one, and the bones were revealed one by one.

Can these bones ...... There was a lot of black!

The corpse bed was in the middle of the field, and everyone present could clearly see that the bones were blackened...... Even people who don't know about autopsy know that this is a sign of poisoning!

Princess Chang was really poisoned and died?

At that time, the first emperor said that she accidentally fell to her death!

Problematic! There has to be a problem!

The eyes of everyone present were wide open, and they did not dare to speak, and the scene was silent.

"Tsuki Rou—"

In the quiet, King Su's hoarse voice was very obvious, and everyone looked at his sad face and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with him: "King Su is really pitiful......"

"It's not easy to be a royal prince......"

"The princess has wronged ......"

Public opinion fell towards King Su like this, and Shen Wansha's small fists were clenched tightly, very worried. Especially when he saw Bai Shi, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and his smile was well-behaved and sweet, for the first time, he had the same idea as Hu Weiwei, and he especially wanted to swing his fist to that face with his own hands!

The people present had different thoughts and the atmosphere was tense, but Lu Li didn't pay attention at all, his attention was all on Liu Cheng...... fingers.
