Xiahou Xuan couldn't ride a horse, so he had to take a car.

Cao Miao mocked him mercilessly all the way. Your father accompanied Emperor Wu on an expedition to Liucheng, climbed ice and snow, overcame thorns and thorns, not only earned glory and wealth, but also tempered a strong iron backbone. Why did you get here, so wasted?

Xiahou Xuan was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to pretend not to hear.

However, he actually pricked up his ears, remembered every word Cao Miao said, and pondered it carefully.

Cao Miao said that people's memories are time-sensitive, and the longer the time drags on, the more vague or even completely forgotten the memories of the people involved. In order to investigate the case, it is necessary to seize the time and sort out clues from the witnesses while their memories are still clear.

In addition, although Wang Ji is missing, he is a big living person, and it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace at all. Including the assassin, although no one has seen his face, his height and back have been revealed, and based on these clues, some questions should be asked.

In front of Xiahou Xuan, Cao Miao carefully questioned Xiong Meng and the guards present at the time. According to the information obtained by Xiong Meng during his investigation of the scene, Cao Miao concluded that the assassin was a young man, about 7 feet 3 inches to 7 feet 5 inches tall, with a strong body and skillful movements, and should be a veteran. Such a person will not be a nobody, since he appeared in Luoyang, there should be people who know him among the rangers in Luoyang.

More importantly, if this person shows up in the good place where Wang Ji lives, Li Zheng and Li Jian will have an impression. Being in the capital division, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and near the residences of the powerful, the vigilance of the Li Zheng and the Li Prison is very high, and they will subconsciously take a look at these rangers.

Xiahou Xuan pondered Cao Miao's analysis carefully in his heart and felt reasonable. Actually, these are not difficult, and he can do them, but he has no such experience before, he has no concept at all, and he doesn't know where to start.

The reason why I want to go to Zhijingo Temple is because the Tiqi of Zhijingo comes quickly, and it is possible for them to see something.

What's more, the ruling Jinwu Zangba is Qingxu Haoqiang, most of his connections are in the army, and he has no dealings with these officials in Luoyang, and is even a little hostile. He may not take the initiative to go against Wang Ji, but he will not favor Wang Ji, and even offend the Son of Heaven and the clan for this.

It is impossible for a person with slippery shoulders to endure on behalf of others. In order to clear himself, Zang Ba will also cooperate with their actions.

It takes a little bit of means to get really useful information out of the mouth of this old fox. Treating each other with courtesy is necessary, but it is not enough.

Cao Miao and Xiahou Xuan confessed a few words, and the two worked together, one was a gentleman and was responsible for the frontal negotiation; One is a villain and is in charge of flank raids.

"Guess, is Zang Ba asleep now?" Cao Miao said.

Xiahou Xuan thought carefully for a while. "Even if I sleep, I can't sleep."

"Or let's make a bet."

"How to bet?"

"I think Zang Ba will be standing at the door waiting for us." Cao Miao said: "If I win, you lose ten gold to me." ”

"What if I win?"

"I'll give you this Liaodong horse." Cao Miao said: "If you want to inherit your father's legacy and become a pillar of the Great Wei, you must practice cavalry archery now to prepare for the future command of the army." It's not that I look down on you, my brother Yungong can beat you. ”

Xiahou Xuan snorted. "As far as you are smart, a Liaodong horse worth a maximum of hardware has to bet me ten gold. But that's okay, I think you're going to lose, bet. As he spoke, he raised his palm and high-fived Cao Miaosan.

"Papapa", clapped his hands three times, Xiahou Xuan withdrew his hand, and regretted it a little. What kind of anger am I betting with him, it's not worth it.

The two chatted while walking, slandering each other from time to time, and came to the door of the Jinwu Temple.

Before he got out of the car, Cao Miao saw Zang Ba at the gate of the Jinwu Temple. Although he didn't know Zang Ba, he couldn't think of anyone else besides Zang Ba, a burly and majestic old man in an official uniform.

"You owe me ten gold." Cao Miao pointed at Xiahou Xuan and raised his eyebrows.

Xiahou Xuan was surprised. He believed that Zang Ba might come out to greet them, but it was a bit of a surprise to stand outside the door, waiting for them to arrive. As he got out of the car, he whispered to Cao Miao: "You tell me why, I will give you another ten gold." ”

"Twenty gold." Cao Miao held up two fingers.

Xiahou Xuan glanced at Cao Miao contemptuously. "I'll give you fifty, is that enough?"

"Deal." Cao Miao stretched out her hand. "Give me the school office card."

"......" Xiahou Xuan was speechless, but he still took out his waist card and handed it over.

Cao Miao didn't get off the horse, kicked the horse's belly lightly, came to Zang Ba, lay down on the saddle, and looked at Zang Ba's dark face. Zang Ba was smiling on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. He didn't speak, just tilted his head up, met Cao Miao's scrutinizing gaze, and didn't move like a mountain.

"Jijingo?" Cao Miao said as she shook her horsewhip quietly, signaling Xiahou Xuan not to move.

The corners of Zang Ba's mouth were lightly raised. "It's Zang. The foot is ......"

Cao Miao didn't speak, but just raised the waist card in his hand. "The school affairs department investigates the case, and also asks the people of the Jinwu Temple to cooperate."

Zang Ba glanced at the golden school affairs waist card, his face changed slightly, and he bowed. "Whoa." Reach out and invite. "Please."

"Don't worry, I need a list of the personnel on duty last night, both horsemen and halberders, including the time, place, and route of their patrol. They shouldn't be on duty today, and I hope they'll all be in front of me in the time of a meal. ”

Zang Ba secretly glanced at Xiahou Xuan, who stood with his hands in his hands, without saying a word, with a respectful expression. When Zang Ba saw it, he didn't dare to slack off, so he turned around and ordered someone to pass on the relevant personnel. He didn't know who Cao Miao was, but he and Xiahou Xuan came, holding a gold medal for school affairs, and it was clear that they were handling the case by edict. This kind of person can't afford to offend, and it's not worth getting into trouble for no reason.

Cao Miao got off the horse and followed Zang Ba to the main hall. In the middle of the main hall is a huge model, which is the layout of Luoyang City, but the layout of the palace is vacant. The area under the jurisdiction of the ruling Jingo is outside Miyagi, and the part inside Miyagi is not under their responsibility.

Several generals stood beside the model, looking at Cao Miao and Xiahou Xuan who walked in with complicated eyes, but no one spoke.

Cao Miao didn't speak, but just raised the school affairs waist card in his hand and turned it around so that everyone could see it clearly. Seeing the school affairs waist card, the faces of the generals changed, the original arrogance was gone, and the raised heads were unconsciously lowered.

"There's nothing special about today, just ask you what you saw and heard on duty yesterday. Everyone has a chance to talk, but don't leave it to chance. If I find someone lying......"

Cao Miao didn't say anything, just glanced at everyone with a gloomy gaze, and at the same time provoked a grim smile on the corner of her mouth.

Including Zang Ba, almost everyone shuddered involuntarily.
