The scene of the murder was on the way out of the palace to the Qi family's house. There were few passers-by on that section and were surrounded by a dense wood.

Qi Wei, the chief soldier of Qianzhou, has been an official outside all the year round, and the emperor is far away, but he has saved some family property and bought a big house in the capital over the years. Because the old lady of the Qi family believes in Buddhism, the house is located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, which is convenient for the old lady to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, and it is precisely because of this that there are few pedestrians on the road, until dusk, it was found that Mrs. Qi and the coachman, maid and escort were killed on the road, and even the horse pulling the cart was cut off and blood was splashed on the spot.

Mrs. Qi died a miserable death, as if killing her was no longer enough to vent her anger, and the murderer also humiliated the corpse.

Lian Sheng lifted the mat covering Mrs. Qi's corpse, only to see that the lower body of the corpse was covered with blood, and a stick was stabbed in, ** was cut off and disappeared. Lian Sheng leaned down and carefully looked around the chest that had been cut off, and found that there were traces of strong contraction of the muscles, and she only felt a pain in her chest: it was too much! Mrs. Qi did not die when she was cut off. Her eyes were round and full of fear, and her facial muscles were contorted, and she must have been terrified before she died.

Zhang Zong has been following Liansheng now, standing aside and sighing: "It's so miserable, how can this be." ”

After Lian Sheng finished inspecting Mrs. Qi's body, he stood aside and roughly recounted the incident in his heart.

First of all, the horse was cut off in the head with a knife, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

At that time, Wu Zetian said that he could subdue a fierce horse, but he needed three things: an iron whip, an iron hammer, and a dagger. whip it with iron; If they are not satisfied, they will use a hammer to hammer; If he was still not satisfied, he killed it with a dagger. This is a story that appeared in the "Zizhi Tongjian". It was Wu Zetian who saved face for his nephew and told it personally. In fact, there is a lot of apocryphalism. Wu Zetian, who was not good at riding and shooting, was still a girl at that time, how could he be sure that he would be killed with a knife? How long can a dagger be. Piercing the horse's heart directly requires clarity and a lot of force on the horse's body structure. And this kind of cutting off the horse's head with a knife can only be done by people who are strong in martial arts and familiar with horses.

The coachman's body was next to the horse's corpse, a knife in the back of the heart, and when he lifted it, he saw a deep knife mark on the ground, which was also very powerful, nailing the coachman to the ground, Liansheng carefully studied the posture of the coachman falling to the ground, suspecting that he was thrown down with inertia after the horse died, and then was killed by someone from behind.

The two maids sitting with Madame Qi were cleanly cut by their necks. The body lay in the carriage and was not disturbed after death.

It stands to reason that these two maids are younger and more beautiful than the Mrs. Qi, but they were only killed and not insulted, the thing is obvious, the murderer came to find Mrs. Qi for revenge, and he did his best to humiliate Mrs. Qi.

Four guards died at the intersection of the road, and it was clear that they were the first to be attacked, and an ambush had been set up on the side of the road. A boulder blocked the way, and the four people could not walk side by side, and as they walked through, they were shot through the throat by a poisoned arrow, and two people fell instantly. The other two were wounded, moved the fallen man aside and escorted the wagon to escape. Then he was in a scuffle with the chasing killer, and finally lost his strength due to poisoning. Killed.

Then the killer caught up with the carriage and cut off the horse's head. Kill the coachman, and finally deal with the three unarmed women in the carriage.

Liansheng walked from the intersection and had a rough imagination of the scene of the murder of the eight victims.

After inspecting the body of the guards at this moment, Lian Sheng asked, "How many murder weapons did you have to kill the deceased?" ”

The servant sighed and said: "It's all the marks of a knife, but these four guards, the tiger's mouth is all calloused, the hole is powerful, obviously a strictly trained soldier, if it wasn't for the murderer who first injured people with a hidden weapon, they wouldn't all die." The murderer is particularly cunning and ferocious. ”

"What does Mr. Hidden Weapon think it is?"

"It should be a small crossbow, and the arrow is coated with a very deadly poison, I need to go back to the yamen to analyze it to know what it is."

What he said was roughly the same as he had guessed. Liansheng nodded and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Liansheng and Zhang Zong and others returned to Dali Temple after surveying the scene, it was already the willow top on the moon, Zhang Zong pointed to the restaurant in front and said, "It's past the meal, last time thanks to the help of the adults, the lower officials are grateful, it is better to choose the day than to hit the day, the lower officials dare to invite the adults to have a drink, I don't know what the adults want?" ”

Lian Sheng said with a smile: "Zhang Dian's official is too polite, okay, at this moment, he is hungry in his belly, and it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." ”

The two of them entered the restaurant, and Xiao Er had already greeted them, and welcomed them to the second floor to pick a seat by the window and sit down.

"What do you think of Madame Qi's case?"

"It should be looking for revenge, the murderer is extremely hateful to Mrs. Qi, but he is clean and neat to others, even the horse is killed with a knife, and it is necessary to investigate the relationship between the Qi family, whether there is a feud."

"Concubine Rou is very favored in the palace, this time Long Live not only ordered our Dali Temple to arrest the murderer, but also heard that it was also given to Jingzhao Mansion and the Beijing Governor's Mansion an ultimatum."

Zhang Zong sighed and said, "This pressure must be very great. Our Dali Temple, this time I'm afraid that we will expect to be rescued by adults. ”

"Hey, you can't say that, Dali Temple Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, all adults have their own abilities, just say that you Zhang Dian, these years of doing things safely and cautiously is also a rare talent."

"Xia Guan is over thirty years old or from the ninth grade of the small official, ashamed, ashamed."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of horses' hooves downstairs, Zhang Zong looked over and exclaimed, "Oh my God, what are the people of the Admiral's Mansion doing to arrest Wang Dusi?" ”

"Which royal capital?" Liansheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at it. I saw that the person who was tied up by the five flowers was Wang Heng!

"How could you catch Wang Heng!"

Lian Sheng stood up suddenly, "No, I'll go downstairs and take a look." ”

Lian Sheng turned around and ran downstairs, almost bumping into Xiao Er, who was serving the food.

"Alas, Master, what are you ......" Xiao Er was startled, relieved and saw that Zhang Zong was also in a hurry to run, grabbing him and not letting go: "Master, you have ordered all this dish, you can't help but give money." Zhang Zong casually took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it to him: "Master is the warden of Dali Temple, and the dishes I ordered are all put in the food box and waiting." ”

At this time, Liansheng had already run downstairs and shouted loudly behind: "Wang Heng, something happened to Wang Heng." ”

Wang Heng heard it immediately, turned around and saw Liansheng, squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay." The Admiral's Office asked me to ask for questions. ”

Five flowers tied up to ask? Is there such a thing?

At this time, Zhang Zong also ran down, and saw that Liansheng was still chasing, so he hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said: "My lord, the people in the Admiral's Mansion are all soldiers, and they are very rude, we can't ask anything if we catch up, and we may be humiliated. He saw that Lian Sheng's face was unbearable, so he comforted: "Wang Dusi is the nephew of the noble concubine, and the Admiral's Mansion does not dare to do anything to him, so my lord should relax." ”

"I'm afraid I was arrested this time because I was the nephew of the concubine." Lian Sheng sighed, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, she suspected that Wang Heng's arrest must have something to do with the murder of Mrs. Qi. (To be continued......)
