Guangsheng said, his eyes stared at Xiao Gu with a smile, and the latter found that his eyes were meaningful, and his eyes glared at him like a knife, but it was soft and not deterrent, but it made his smile deepen, adding a bit of courage.

He walked up to her gently, half coquettishly, half seriously complaining: "I worried about you all night, but you share the bed with someone else!" ”

But a sharp light flashed in his eyes - you must check the Marquis of Guangping's mansion carefully, there is really a thief hiding in the Jinlan Society! If Xiao Gu is allowed to interact with them more, it will be difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong......

This kind of jealous appearance of the resentful husband made Xiao Gu angry, she gritted her teeth and smiled, "Then what do you want to do, young master?" ”

"Call me young master again, didn't you say it, call me Chengjia."

He rubbed beside her and quietly grabbed her waist, but his tone became more and more lazy, "Be fair, don't you?" Next festival, you will also accompany me all night, but you don't need to share the same bed, just the two of us to watch the lantern festival, and no one else! ”

It's quite good to go with the flow...... Xiao Gu was about to agree, but he heard Guangsheng say to himself: "I heard that there is a kind of osmanthus brew at the Lantern Festival, and the little ladies are all exhaling like orchids after drinking, and they are enthusiastic and hearty to confide their love to the person they like, should we try it too?" ”

Try your size...... The guy who opens a dye room for three colors!

Xiao Gu rolled his eyes to show him, shook off his hand and walked out in a huff, and a hearty and mellow laugh came from behind him, looking extremely proud.

Guangsheng looked at Xiao Gu's back, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he felt sweet in addition to being proud, and was about to chase him out, but he heard someone outside the door report, "Mr. Li is here." ”

His eyes lit up: Li Sheng knows how to measure, if there is no urgency, he will not come to the mansion to see him without authorization, which will make people suspicious.

Really. Li Sheng came in disguised as the shopkeeper, and after he saluted, he went straight in, "The old man you ordered has been invited, and after he saw the corpse, he really felt that something was wrong." ”

He lowered his voice and said, "The corpse does have traces of being swollen by blisters, although it has been dried in time, the skin is a little abnormally white. ”

"Blistered ......"

Rising frowned - what does this mean?

"Also, after re-examination, I found such a pattern on the back of her heel, which seemed to be a red mark left on the flesh by squeezing for a long time."

Li Sheng was taking out a piece of paper. A small vague pattern was drawn on the paper, like the kind of seal pattern on the tile and the city wall, which looked extremely blurry, and Guangsheng looked at it for a long time, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Have you checked this pattern?"

"Our scribes rummaged through the books, which seemed to be allowed only in the palace, but the tiles and the walls were smaller than this, not so large."

Li Sheng's words made Guangsheng's eyes flash with a flash of spiritual light-Imperial Palace!

This bizarre assassination took place in front of the palace gate, and the deceased collapsed in anger in front of the palace gate. Later, after being carefully searched by the military supervisor in the palace, she was sent to the funeral village on the outskirts of the city - logically speaking, she had been killed before she had time to touch every plant and tree in the palace.

But he found it last time. The corpse's chest was flat and flawless, and there was no thin needle hole in his chest in the car, which meant that the corpse was not a red note at all. It's been dropped!

And this corpse has an indentation on the body that can only be found on the palace building!

Could it be......

Guangsheng Huo Ran got up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and see that corpse again!" ”

After speaking. took Li Sheng and hurriedly got up and left.

***

The sun was shining, bringing with it the heat of early summer, and the ice in the secret room of the funeral village was also melting rapidly, turning into a basin of water. The corpse on the flat couch had gradually turned to ashes, and its limbs had begun to swell softly - it had been preserved for so many days, and it was almost at its limit.

The air was filled with a strong smell of putrefaction, mixed with spices that almost made people vomit, and everyone covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and frowned, but no one dared to take a step back.

Because the new commander of the Jinyi Guard was engrossed in carefully examining the corpse.

Guangsheng's whole mind was concentrated on this corpse, as if he couldn't feel the smell of the end of his nose, he carefully touched the skin of the deceased's face, and finally found a flaw in the junction with the forehead and the auricle, he gently picked it open a little with a knife, and suddenly the smell of the corpse became stronger.

In the strange silence, only a snort was heard, and a thin facial skin like a cicada's wings was torn off, and this was a red face!

Everyone was terrified in their hearts, and couldn't help but take a step back, Guangsheng ignored the blood on his hands, and looked closer, only to see that the muscles and facial features below were dripping with pus and blood, and it looked more and more hideous in the dark.

This layer of skin does not seem to fit well with the muscles, but when Guangsheng looks closely, he feels that this is simply a miracle - this layer of false face is actually sewn raw onto the corpse, but not even the stitches can be found!

After many days of corruption and decay, only a slight flaw was revealed, otherwise the initial work would not have been completely unnoticed.

The woman under the human skin face could not distinguish her true appearance from her facial features, but she was in the same condition as her whole body, and she was soaked for a long time and caused edema.

Rising turned to look at the skin of the heel, feeling the indentation so faint that it was almost invisible.

This pattern is printed on the heel with just a small corner...... He looked at the redrawing on the white paper, closed his eyes and measured, and said after a while: "This pattern is about a circle, several feet in circumference." ”

"Isn't that bigger than a millstone? How can there be such a family in the palace! ”

Li Sheng shouted out of his voice.

"Think about it, where have you ever seen such a pattern - and why is it pressed against the heel of a corpse?"

"Unless she stepped on it for a long time, because the blood stagnated after death, it would leave this trace."

Everyone was puzzled by this phenomenon, and after thinking about it, Guangsheng simply got up and walked outside, "I'll go to the palace to have a good look!" ”

The people were astonished, and when they wanted to stop him, he had already gone far.

****

In the afternoon, the sun was even more intense, and the wide palace road was sparsely populated, and only occasionally did I see a hurried attendant.

Guangsheng walked on it slowly, looked around at the surrounding masonry slats, and even did not let go of the foundation inscription, squatted down to look carefully, but the oncoming Zhang Gonggong was startled, and after seeing the figure clearly, he ran over with a smoke, "Commander, what are you doing?" ”

"Have you seen this pattern anywhere?"

Guangsheng handed him the piece of paper, and Grandpa Zhang looked at it again and again, his face was embarrassed, "It's a little familiar, but I really can't remember it." ”

"Think again!"

Although Gonggong Zhang was so drunk, although he was unhappy in his heart, when he saw Guangsheng's cloudy face, he knew that the matter was serious, but he didn't bother with him, and after thinking about it, he snorted: "I remember in a trance that I used to see each other several times when I was a little eunuch, but then I was promoted to serve by the emperor's side, and my impression was weak.
