Chapter 555: A Tooth for a Tooth

Niu Er sneaked all the way into the front building from the backyard miscellaneous room, and knocked out three guards who were patrolling the night, except for Lu Hong, who was arranged by Xue Rui to hide, and four people were sleeping in the downstairs room, and after being awakened by the sound of fighting upstairs, they ran up one after another.

It happened that Lu Hong and a few people were taken out of the hall by Yu Shu, and when they met Lu in the corridor, they assigned things, those who boiled water went to boil water, those who took medicine went to get medicine, and asked Lang Zhong to invite Lang Zhong, and then carried those comatose companions back to the room, for a while, no one bothered Yu Shu and Xue Rui

Lu Hong came back with the wound medicine, Yu Shu's door was broken by his kick, and the murderer sneaked in at that time, he didn't dare to startle the snake, until he heard the sound of fighting in the room, and then hurriedly broke in.

But it was still a step too late, and when they entered, it happened that Xue Rui pierced the murderer with a sword, and Lu Hong only caught up with a kick and kicked the man in black to the ground, and the two companions behind him didn't even have a chance to perform.

"My lord, it's hard to find Langzhong in the middle of the night, let your subordinates clean up the wound for you first, and use medicine to stop the bleeding."

Xue Rui heard the footsteps, so he and Yu Shu stopped the topic, before Lu Hong walked into the inner room, the hands held by the two consciously let go, and the affection with low eyebrows was not seen by others.

"I'll do it." Yu Shu stretched out his hand to ask for the bottle in Lu Hong's hand, she was in distress on the way from Yiyang to Beijing, she was very skilled in bandaging the decoction, plus He Fangzhi, the godfather of Langzhong, to treat Xue Rui's wounds.

"Is there hot water?" Yu Shu cautiously rolled up Xue Rui's sleeves and asked.

"Yes. Someone will bring it later. When Lu Hong saw Yu Shu's movements, he was relieved, so he stood next to him, brought the lit candlestick, and cheered her up.

Xue Rui's arm was cut by the murderer's woodcutter-like murder weapon, extending from three inches above the elbow to below the elbow, and the injury was at the joint.

Xue Rui looked at Yu Shu with a straight face and cleaned and medicated him. I don't dare to say it hurts. By the time she bandaged it, there was already a cold sweat on her forehead.

Yu Shu glanced up at him, didn't say anything, and washed his hands in the basin. Wrung a handkerchief. Wipe his face clean.

"Wait until you find Lang Zhong. I think you'll need a few more stitches for this wound," she frowned, her eyes turning. The dead body that fell to the ground said:

"What are we going to do with this murderer? When a man dies, he can't ask anything, and he doesn't know who instructed him. ”

"Drag it down and search it," Xue Rui told Lu Hong, "Carefully search his room, the cellar where he hid his head, and the firewood and rice he bought back during the day, and maybe find something." ”

Lu Hong responded, called his companions outside the door, and carried Niu Er's body out of the road.

There were no outsiders in the house, so Yu Shu whispered to Xue Rui and bit his ears:

"I know that Lu Dao was done by King Ning, but I can't identify him, it's really embarrassing."

Although Da'an is easy to say, he has never taken divination as evidence, after all, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and it is only a one-sided word to say it.

In this case, we still pay attention to a real evidence.

"King Ning knows that Niu Er is dead, he must be more aggrieved than you," Xue Rui was actually in the mood to laugh with her at this time.

Yu Shu thought that Liu Hao's abacus had failed, and his work was in vain, and his face looked better.

As the two were talking, a person ran in outside the door, it was Lu Hong, who had gone and returned.

"My lord! A secret letter was found from Niu Er's body, please take a look. ”

No wonder Lu Hong was shocked, after all, there was such a big case as the death of Qincha, and the investigation was not clear, and they would also be in a bad place.

On the contrary, if Xue Rui successfully cracks this case, he, the little commander who leads the guards, may be promoted to one and a half positions.

The secret letter with fire paint was opened, but apparently Lu Hong didn't have time to check it, so it was sent to Xue Rui.

Yu Shu's mood was sudden, the secret way was not good, the letter found from the murderer was related to Liu Yi nine times out of ten!

Damn it, she patronized Xue Rui's concealment of her, and forgot to turn over the murderer first while there was no one.

She looked at Xue Rui with annoyance in her heart, and saw him take out the so-called secret letter and look at it, and the next moment, her face changed slightly.

"How, did you find it?" Lu Hong asked anxiously.

Xue Rui hesitated: "Judging from this letter, it is the eleventh prince who made the murderer kill Lord Yushi Zhou. ”

Yu Shu's face darkened.

Lu Hong's face was shocked.

Xue Rui handed them the secret letter, and the two of them read it successively, and sure enough, although the letter was vague, it still inadvertently mentioned the eleventh prince, and there was a bright red mark at the place where the payment was made, which was an ancient book, and it could be seen that it was a "feather" character.

"If I'm not mistaken, the small character of the eleventh prince is exactly 'feather'." Xue Rui said.

Yu Shu heard what he said so clearly, and just felt a little strange, and someone ran in outside the door.

"My lord, my lord, please see, this was found in the fire under the kitchen stove, it should be that the murderer Niu Er wanted to destroy it, but he kept it."

Yu Shu looked up, and saw a guard holding a piece of black wood in his hand and handed it to Xue Rui, she leaned forward and saw clearly that it was a blackened brand, only the size of two fingers, one side was pasted, and the other side was still there, but there were no words on it, only a few strange lines were carved, like waves, and like clouds.

She felt a sudden change in her heart, and couldn't help but scold: How many things did this traitorous King Ning prepare to frame Liu Yi's fool.

However, Xue Rui checked the burned token in his hand over and over again, a pair of sword eyebrows gradually pulled up, and then he handed the brand to Lu Hong.

"Look at it."

Lu Hong took a closer look and shook his head: "The subordinates are clumsy, they can't see where this brand is, and the adults don't recognize it?" ”

"No, I've seen a sign like this."

Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Then what is?" ”

Xue Rui's face was expressionless and replied:

"In my Da'an. But when the prince goes out of the palace to build a mansion, the saint is allowed to raise a private soldier, the number is not more than fifty, although the register is made, reported to the military department, but only obey their master's orders, this private soldier, equivalent to the dead, each has a mark, some do not know each other until death. There is only one waist tag to prove identity. Until you die, the piece you hold in your hand should be the waist card of a dead man in the prince's mansion. ”

Yu Shu was stunned, Liu Yi was not old. Not yet out of the palace. Where to keep private soldiers. So where did this dead man's waist card come from?

Lu Hong also thought of this question, and his expression suddenly became strange-

The prisoner who killed Zhou Qi threw himself into the net, and the worst thing is that he died. What's worse is that they found two pieces of evidence, pointing the finger at the two princes respectively!

Lu Hong didn't dare to ask Xue Rui which prince's mansion this burnt waist card in his hand was, at this time, he finally realized that this murder case, whether it was found out or not, he didn't have any good fruit to eat.

"You all go out, search again, see if anything else is missing, pack up Niu Er's corpse, and Lord Zhou's head, and wait for tomorrow morning, we will return to Beijing to resume our lives, please make a decision."

Xue Rui's words fell, and Lu Hong and a few people retreated with each other, and their faces were not good, and it seemed that they were destined to be sleepless tonight.

As soon as they left, Yu Shu stood up, closed the door of the house, retreated to the side of the bed, stared at Xue Rui, and asked in a low voice:

"What the hell is going on, the secret letter on the prisoner's body is just that, why is there an extra waist card?"

In the past two days, following Xue Rui, she always felt that her brain was not enough.

Xue Rui turned his head to look at her: "I didn't promise you, I wouldn't let King Ning go so cheaply." ”

Hearing this, Yu Shu was surprised, sat down beside him, and said: "I know that you did it, so I said, why did I forget to search the killer's body, and you shouldn't have forgotten, what kind of ambush are you fighting, and you actually asked someone to find out the evidence of the eleventh prince's crime?" ”

Xue Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "What does the eleventh prince have to do with us, why do we need to cover it up for him." ”

This sounds refreshing, but Yu Shu hasn't forgotten the topic: "Isn't this the pit that King Ning dug for you, how can you not fill it in." ”

Xue Rui asked her rhetorically: "Who do you think put the waist card found in the kitchen?" ”

Yu Shu was silent for a moment, and then stared at him again:

"Where did you get the waist card of the dead soldier of Ning Wangfu?"

The brand is Xue Rui who can't run away, that is, the real guy is right, it's just that such a crucial thing, how could it fall into Xue Rui's hands.

"That's a long way to say, I'll tell you later," Xue Rui couldn't play with his left hand, so he stretched out his right hand, held her hand halfway through his body, pulled it over and put it on his lap, the wound was hot and painful, and pinched her little hand to ease it up.

The sign of Ning Wangfu was brought by him last night when Baode returned to Beijing overnight, and he determined that Niu Er wanted to kill Yu Shu, so he privately confessed that Baode burned the brand on one side and put it under the stove in the kitchen at night, creating the false impression that Niu Er, the cook who burned the fire and cooked tonight, self-destructed evidence.

"As for the secret letter I left on the murderer, it was forβ€”"

"Wait, don't say it yet," Yu Shu raised his hand to interrupt Xue Rui, rubbed his forehead and said, "You let me think about it first." ”

Can't always rely on him to be smart, she won't use her brain, this habit is unacceptable.

Xue Rui smiled, "Okay, let you think about it." ”

Yu Shu didn't dwell on it for long, he had a flash of inspiration, snapped his fingers, and blurted out:

"You are doing this to make King Ning and Liu Yi eat dogs!"

Yes, leaving a secret letter pointing to Liu Yi, creating a waist card pointing to Liu Hao, the mastermind suspects who assassinated Qin Cha have changed from one to two, who is the real murderer, King Ning knows in his heart, but Liu Yi doesn't know what to do!

Liu Yi was wronged, if the dirty water was only splashed on his head, it would definitely be in line with King Ning's idea, making Concubine Lu and his family hate Xue Rui, but now that King Ning has also been pushed out, Liu Yi is a fool, and he has to doubt his good brother.

Among the two, there must be one person who wants to top the bag, what is the crime of assassinating Qin Cha, brother and brother Gong is a at this juncture.

Xue Rui said that he wanted to return a tooth for a tooth, it turned out to be such a way for a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, absolutely not!

"Hehe," Xue Rui tipped his fingers on her palm, and said in a brisk tone:

"Brother against each other, this is a good show." (To be continued......)
