In the bright hall, everyone knelt silently with their heads bowed, some trembling, some worried, and some calm, anyway, each with their own thoughts. Liang Yinhao sat on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and stared, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

There was a faint sound of 'Sisuo' around him, and Liang Yinhao slowly opened his eyes, only to see Huo Pei'an tiptoeing in. Liang Yinhao said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here." Huo Xiang, you came just in time, I heard a very funny news today, you should also listen to it, and listen to what is going on. Sit down, everyone, don't kneel! ”

Although the emperor was not angry, and his expression was as calm as usual, he didn't know why everyone always felt that the atmosphere was very strange and strange, and there was a chill all over his body.

After a few people cowered and sat down for some reason, Liang Yinhao spoke again at this time: "A few days ago, there was an incident in the capital, and the famous Qinglou in the city actually caught fire. Liang Yinhao then turned his head to look at Tong Yuan, and asked expressionlessly: "Tong Qing, I heard that the Criminal Department has taken over the case, what results has the Criminal Department found?" ”

Tong Yuan stood up, his eyes flickered invisibly, and then replied: "Back to the emperor, yesterday the Kyoto Mansion has transferred all the physical evidence and human evidence to the Criminal Department, and Weichen carefully checked the evidence and files submitted by the Kyoto Mansion, and found that the fire in Yanyulou was deliberately set on fire, and many traces of fire oil and gunpowder were found around the scene. ”

"Oh? Is it artificial? Can there be witnesses other than physical evidence? Liang Yinhao raised his eyebrows slightly, although there was a little surprise in his tone, but the look of surprise did not extend to the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

Tong Yuan bowed down and replied: "There was indeed a witness yesterday, this person claimed to be the errand man of Yanyu Building, and he happened to witness everything and escaped by luck when the crime occurred. The witness has already recorded a confession, but..."Tong Yuan suddenly paused, glanced at Rui Wang Liang Yinhuan beside him uneasily, and said, "But the confession involves court officials, and Weichen did not dare to rashly conclude the case, so he reported the matter to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would decide." ”

Liang Yinhao nodded silently, and did not rush to speak, but looked around without a trace, looking at the expressions of His Highness and everyone. After a long time, Liang Yinhao continued to ask: "Can people be in the palace now?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, people are waiting outside the palace!" Tong Yuan said.

Liang Yinhao waved his hand and said casually: "Bring people in." ”

After a while, Yin Zheng walked into the main hall with a man. The man's appearance is extremely ordinary, and the dress on his body is also very ordinary, at first glance it really looks like an errand boy or something, but the only difference from ordinary people is that the man's eyes flashed with an unpredictable fortitude. The man knelt on the ground and saluted: "Grass man Li Kai, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

Liang Yinhao frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of him. According to common sense, ordinary people in this situation, when they see the holy face for the first time, even if they are not scared and paralyzed, at least they will stutter a little, but the man does have a calm face, and there is no fear or fear in his words, so calm and calm, it seems that he is not just an ordinary person.

Liang Yinhao asked coldly: "You said you are a guy in the Yanyu Building?" What did you see on the day of the fire? Truth be told, if you tell half a lie, I will never speak again! ”

"Back to the emperor, the grass people were indeed on an errand in the smoke and rain building that day. In the first half of the night, there was nothing unusual in the building, and everything was still as usual. But in the middle of the night, the grass people spotted a few figures on their way to the latrine, so they secretly followed them to see what they were going to do. Unexpectedly, the grass people saw a few men sprinkling fire oil near the Yanyu Building, and the grass people were scared and thought about rushing back to the Yanyu Building immediately to tell the bustard and the boss, but they didn't expect that when they were halfway there, the fire had already burned, and the fire was extremely strong. In order to save his life, Cao Ming had to escape temporarily, and when he returned the next day, he found that everyone had been burned to death in the fire. The man recounted in detail what had happened that night, and the more he spoke, the more sad he became, until at last he choked up.

At this time, Huo Pei'an opened his mouth and asked, "Do you see who those people who set the fire are?" ”

Li Kai hung his head, shook his head in disappointment, and said: "It was too dark that day, and those people were wearing night clothes and masked, so the grass people didn't see the murderer's face clearly, but judging from the figure, it should be a man who has practiced martial arts." ”

Liang Yinhao asked unhappily: "Since you didn't see the murderer's face clearly, how do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"Although the grass people did not see the face of the arsonist, the villain recognized the sword in the hand of the man who took the lead." Li Kai's eyes turned pale, and his eyes seemed to be mixed with disdain and resentment, and said, "The scabbard of this person's sword is engraved with a Qingyun spiral pattern, this kind of sword is not something ordinary people can have. ”

Liang Yinhao nodded silently, Li Kai's words were not wrong. This sword with a spiral pattern of green clouds is carved from high-quality pear wood, and ordinary martial artists rarely hold this kind of sword. And this kind of sword is most used by the personal guards or lieutenants of the eunuchs. Liang Yinhao replied and asked: "Although this kind of sword is expensive, it is not rare in the world, many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing have guards, and a single sword still can't determine the identity of the murderer!" ”

"The emperor is right, the grass people thought so at first. Many of the nobles of the imperial court in Beijing were frequent visitors to the Yanyu Tower, and there were not a few people who could wear this kind of sword, and it was indeed impossible to confirm the identity of the murderer based on this alone. But—" The man paused deliberately, pretending to be embarrassed, and frowning in silence.

Huo Pei smiled with peace of mind, but he pretended to be anxious on his face, and urged: "But what? With the emperor here, you don't have to be afraid, just say it, the emperor will make the decision for you! ”

After receiving encouragement, the man said slowly: "But there are not many court officials who have had a holiday with our Yanyu Building, in recent days, only King Rui has come to Yanyu Building, and he also had a big quarrel with our boss, and once threatened to destroy Yanyu Building!"

Hearing this, Ruiwang Liang Yinhuan could no longer be silent, and opened his mouth to refute: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did this king quarrel with someone in the Yanyu Building?! ”

The man stared at King Rui tightly, and suddenly wailed: "Your Royal Highness, the Lingshan Gang has been loyal to you for the past few years, how can you bear to kill so many innocent brothers in my gang!" (To be continued.) )
