Chapter 40: Accomplices
In front of the General's Mansion, a group of people and horses are also saying goodbye.
The black coffin was placed on the car, and the more than a dozen people on the side were all dressed in white clothes, and hundreds of soldiers behind them were also wearing white belts around their waists. After arriving in Daxing, maybe they will have to meet the people of the state capital and send them to Beijing.
The General's Mansion also sent 500 soldiers to accompany him, protecting the body of Mr. Shouyang and several of his disciples along the way.
It is said that the person is dead, and the assassin of Dongyi will no longer be unable to live with the same corpse, but who made this assassin the famous mad dog Shangqi?
Li Cao, the secretary of the General's Mansion, looked sad, and said apologetically with several disciples of Mr. Shouyang: "It was Li who was negligent and did not protect Mr. Shouyang, causing him to be killed by thieves." When the general returns, Li will definitely be punished, and then he will go to Beijing to ask the family of the great master and Mr. Shouyang for his guilt. β
The disciple surnamed Fei Wenyou, heard the words and gave a deep salute: "Where, Li Lu is serious." Since the family teacher is targeted by Dongyi's assassins, he is always unable to guard against it. After the accident, thanks to Li Lu's busy work and the dispatch of soldiers from the General's Mansion, he was able to find out the truth in such a short period of time. When I go back, I will truthfully return to the national teacher. β
Chen Mu, another disciple next to him, also arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, everyone in the General's Mansion responded in time and exposed the conspiracy of the Dongyi people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. β
At this time, everyone was a little sad, Li Cao said a few more words, and Fei Wenyou saw that the hour was not early, so he notified the whole team to set off.
His own subordinates led the horses for Li Cao, and he wanted to personally send the people and coffins out of the city.
At this time, a pro-soldier came over and whispered a few words in Li Cao's ear, Li Cao was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a black-clothed young man standing in the corner about a stone's throw away from the archway, looking at him quietly.
Li Cao recognized that it was Miss Gu he had seen in the Baidian History Mansion before, a master of painting, and I heard that she was a confidant and friend of Young Master Bai Linyuan.
She is in a hurry to find herself, what is the matter?
When the two looked at each other, Wen Sheng looked a little nervous, but he waved his hand covertly and made an anxious but sure movement.
It seems that there is an urgent matter.
Li Cao understood, whispered a few words to his soldiers, turned around and got on his horse, and escorted Fuling's team out of the city.
After all of them were gone, the soldier went over and asked Wen Sheng to wait in the recording hall of the General's Mansion.
The general's mansion covers a wide area, divided into two courtyards before and after, the front is the place where soldiers and horses are dispatched to deal with official business, and is divided into several parts of the conference hall, the martial arts arena, and the banquet hall, the backyard is the inner house, Ji Nantang's mother Yu Feng Zheng Erpin ordered Mrs. Ji to lead a group of female dependents to live in the backyard.
Although there are only six grades in the General's Mansion and he is a military attachΓ©, he is like the big housekeeper of the General's Mansion in the outer courtyard, and the internal and external affairs are handled by him, so this Li Cao must be a person who is particularly trusted by General Ji who is leading the troops outside, he has guarded the General's Mansion for so many years, and has done his best to train a pro-army for Ji Nantang in his hometown, and straighten out the relationship with the locality, and the relationship with the state capital and county government has always been very friendly.
Wen Sheng had heard about this Li Lushi from Fu Changsha's mouth before, and she decided to believe that Ji Nantang's eyes and came directly to see Li Cao.
If it weren't for seeing Wen Sheng when he set off, Li Cao originally planned to send a few more trips to the long and short pavilions, and talk about his thoughts, but at this time he intuitively thought that the girl was still looking for him because of the two murders, and he didn't dare to delay. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself. β
Fei Wenyou hurriedly said: "Li Lushi, please come back quickly, the national teacher in Beijing heard that my master was assassinated, and he has sent a master to respond, and it is estimated that he will be able to meet us soon. β
Li Cao didn't ask further when he heard this, there were a lot of talented people gathered around Old Master Tan, these people were valued by the king, and they were very superior on weekdays, as for who would come over this time, he A small military attache shouldn't inquire, and he didn't want to know.
He didn't know that at this time, Fei Wenyou and a few others were also secretly sighing: I heard that the case was solved and the suspect was determined to be because of a painting, in order to win the trust of others, only a few people knew that the painting was from Wensheng's hand, Fei Wenyou and the brothers thought it was painted by another victim, Bai Linyuan.
Like Chen Mu, he was also entrusted to evaluate the paintings of this white boy before. Unexpectedly, Bai Linyuan's painting came in handy, the value of the painting is not whether the painting is good or not, but the truth.
There really is such a person who can fix a quick glance on the drawing paper.
This Lishui is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it is worthy of General Ji's hometown.
Li Cao hurriedly returned to the General's Mansion, went straight to the recording hall, and when he came in, he saw Wen Sheng present, waved his hand, sent all the soldiers out, and said straight to the point: "Miss Gu, you said that there is a life-threatening matter to tell me?" β
Now that it has been decided to continue to investigate the two murders, every moment is precious, and Wen Sheng does not sell Guan Zi: "Li Lushi, I suspect that Mr. Shouyang's death, the murderer is other than Shang Qi, and Shang Qi should have an accomplice in the general's mansion." β
Li Cao asked, "What do you say?" β
Wen Sheng found that although Li Cao asked this, his expression was not very surprised, obviously he had doubts about it.
"Shang Qi is from Dongyi, if there is no one to help him provide information in Lishui, how can he sneak into the general's mansion quietly and retreat after killing someone?"
"Are you suspicious of the guards of my General's Mansion?"
"Record, as well as Mr. Shouyang's disciples and the people of Daxing Soldiers and Horse Guards. It's a pity that they were just told to leave the city. Wen Sheng's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
"I didn't go far, as long as I was out of the water, it was easier to catch it when I left. It's just that there are no real clues, and I can't just arrest people just because of suspicion. Li Cao shook her head with some regret and asked her, "Why did you suddenly remember this?" β
"I've been wondering why the murderer killed Bai Linyuan. Yun Lu recognized Shang Qi purely by chance, and that Shang Qi was proficient in disguise, and he couldn't trap him at all from Shuicheng Guard, since this was the case, it was not a big deal for him to be drawn by Bai Linyuan, and there was no need to kill Bai Linyuan and Lin Sangu at all, it was purely superfluous. Unless Bai Linyuan saw another person on the Guiyan Tower at that time, and Shang Qi's accomplice he might know. β
