Chen Xi was obviously a little surprised, and asked softly, "Does the boss think Qin Xiao has something to do with this case?" ”

The old man didn't answer immediately, thoughtfully, silently, and then smiled faintly: "I don't know either." I'm not a fairy, there are countless things happening every day, I only have one pair of eyes and one pair of ears. Merely..... If this matter is really related to Qin Xiao, then I really underestimate that child. ”

"With all due respect, it is unlikely that Qin Xiao will be involved in this matter." Chen Xi said cautiously: "Qin Xiao and the old Taoist priest do have conflicts, but just like that, Qin Xiao can't be a murderer. First, it is impossible for Qin Xiao to kill the royal alchemist in the palace because of a little conflict, and secondly, he has a conflict with the old Taoist priest during the day, and he goes to kill people at night, isn't it suspected? Isn't the old man already suspicious of him? ”

The old man sighed: "But don't you forget, that night in Zitong Lane, that swordsman was fine, but Mo Tianluo was in the realm of three grades, and secretly ambushed a three-rank archer, but Qin Xiao disemboweled Mo Tianluo." ”

Chen Xi was silent.

The old man smiled slightly, but did not speak.

"Han Yunong is still in the Criminal Department, Qin Xiao knows that at this time, he should honestly wait for the case of the Ministry of War to be over." Chen Xi continued: "The most important point is that Qin Xiao can't have the strength of the Middle Heaven Realm, the Shadow Arrow third-grade archer can subdue him and make him hand over the bow and arrow, the murderer is at least the fourth-rank Middle Heaven Realm, and Qin Xiao doesn't have such strength. ”

Chen Xi hesitated, took a step forward, and said softly, "Boss, do you want to approach him?" ”

Of course, the old man understood what Chen Xi meant, shook his head, and said, "No need. I was a little interested in him, just because when he was in Turtle City, he did something that made the girl very happy. A gentle smile appeared on her lips: "That's the only thing that the girl has in mind when she travels west." ”

After a while, he finally spoke: "Mo Tianluo was killed, in the eyes of his subordinates, it was not that Qin Xiao's strength was stronger than him, it was precisely Mo Tianluo who despised Qin Xiao and died in Qin Xiao's hands." The Zitong Lane incident can only prove that Qin Xiao's adaptability is extraordinary, but it cannot prove that his strength surpasses that of Mo Tianluo. ”

"Makes sense." The old man smiled and said, "If you have the strength of the Four Rank Heaven Realm at such an age, it is really a terrifying thing. At least as far as I can remember, there is no other person with that level of strength at this age, except for the sword. ”

"My subordinates have this idea." Chen Xi said: "But since the lord said that he didn't have to get close to him, his subordinates also dispelled this idea. ”

The old man leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, and was silent for a moment before he said: "Who shot the old Taoist, the only one who knows the murderer is the Shadow Arrow, find him." ”

Chen Xi also showed a light smile, but soon the smile disappeared, and he said softly: "But my subordinates are very interested in one thing, Qin Xiao was shot by the arrow of the shadow arrow, and the arrow was quenched with severe poison, and the subordinate took two poisonous arrows back and handed them over to the instrument for inspection. After a pause, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "But Qin Xiao not only died of poison, but even recovered in a very short period of time, which really made his subordinates puzzled." ”

"You're going to find out?"

There is an extremely important reason why the chief steward is trusted and respected by the saints, and he has served him personally for more than ten years, that is, no matter what the saint asks, the chief steward can always give the most accurate answers.

Of course, Qin Xiao didn't know that he had shot Hongling Zhenren

Chen Xi finally bowed down and retreated.

He knew very well in his heart that the boss might not have any interest in who the murderer was, but the royal alchemist was killed, although the Kyoto Prefecture should close the case as soon as possible and not let the court lose face, but if the saint had a whim, one day he suddenly asked the chief manager next to him about the real murderer who assassinated the old Taoist, of course, the chief manager could not know who the murderer was.

Although he didn't stay at home, he only went out to sit in the wine shop or teahouse on the edge of the inn, and this was not to pass the time, these days in the inn, almost all of them were closed to practice and come out to breathe, in fact, it was also to listen to the progress of the Hongling real person case and even the case of the Ministry of War.

There are idlers in Kyoto, and Siheibo is a visitor from all over the world, and the places where these people gather are often sake shops and teahouses.

aroused the suspicion of a certain boss in the purple prison.

After assassinating Hongling Zhenren that night, Qin Xiao never left the range of three miles near the Changle Inn.

This may also be a way for the saint to show his generosity and kindness to the people of the world.

In the mouths of idlers these days, there is not much to say about the case of the Ministry of War, after all, the imperial court has already issued a notice, Fan Wenzheng and the other thirteen officials of the Ministry of War have been sentenced to capital punishment, and they will be beheaded in the downtown area in the near future, the case has come to an end, and it is difficult to satisfy the conversation of the idlers.

Sipping a little wine and making tea, they gather in groups to comment on the many things happening in Kyoto, which has become the best way for Kyoto idlers to pass the time.

Although there are terrifying yamen such as the Criminal Department and the Purple Clothes Prison in Kyoto, the imperial court does not prevent people from talking about the world, as long as they do not slander the imperial court and saints, even if there are some criticisms of the imperial court, it will not invite disaster.

And after the little Taoist priest Xuanzhen was arrested by Kyoto Prefecture, this case became a topic of discussion.

Before the case was made public, some people claimed that through the disclosure of powerful people, the real murderer of Hongling Zhenren turned out to be the little Taoist priest who served him closely.

Fortunately, the Hongling Zhenren case happened in time, and people had a new point to talk about.

The killing of Hongling Zhenren is naturally a happy event in the hearts of the people of Kyoto, but who killed the old Taoist has naturally become the mystery that people want to know the most.

Kyoto is full of excitement about the murder of the old Taoist.

This made many old men and adults who raised small servants furious, secretly wondering if they were too bullying to the little girls around them on weekdays, and quietly observed the attitude of the little girls around them, and even many people changed their attitudes towards the little girls around them because of this.

The old Taoist has been torturing the little Taoist priest for many years, beating and scolding is commonplace, and other things that should not be done have also been done, so the little Taoist priest has a grudge against the old Taoist and hires a murderer to assassinate the old Taoist.

There is no accurate information on how much silver was spent, but the little Taoist priest often stole in the Taoist temple and sold the stolen utensils in the black market, so he accumulated a sum of silver, and the silver spent by the hired murderer came from this.

He didn't expect that Kyoto Mansion would take Xuanzhen Little Taoist as a scapegoat.

He was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that the government was really stupid and incompetent, and he was even more ruthless, this case obviously had nothing to do with the little Taoist, but in the end the government used the little Taoist as a scapegoat.

Qin Xiao was a little stunned when he heard these rumors in the teahouse of the wine shop.

That night, he assassinated Hongling Lao Dao, although it was also a temporary idea, but he still made a careful plan and used the weapon of the Shadow Arrow to shoot and kill the real person of Hongling, so that he could not only protect himself, but even if the government tracked down, he would only track down the Shadow Arrow.

Except for Qin Xiao, who felt that he really couldn't stand the little Taoist priest, no one in Kyoto cared about the life and death of a little Taoist priest.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and on the third day of March, Xuanyuan was born

Although this case occurred after the case of the Ministry of War, it was decided quickly, and even the execution was extremely fast.

The case was decided on three days, and on the fifth day after the case, the little Taoist priest Xuanzhen was dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut off his head, and this case, which shocked the whole of Kyoto, was quickly closed at least on the surface.

Those who are in the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are completed, the crown is five or six, the boy is six or seven, bathing, the wind is dancing, and the song returns.

This is the day of purification, but on this day, the Criminal Department finally issued a public announcement that it will behead 14 officials including Fan Wenzheng at the entrance of the Xishi Caishi on the 8th day of the first month of March.

。

March 3 is the Shangsi Festival of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, there are many tiger cavalry soldiers, as well as a group of people such as Su Changyu, Fat Fish, Ning Zhifeng, etc., these people's life and death are uncertain, and the result may not be all because the Changsheng Army failed to get out of the customs in time, but this is an important reason for a disaster.

Thinking of the night the general died, Qin Xiao couldn't wait to personally raise the ghost head knife and cut off Fan Wenzheng's head.

Qin Xiao didn't have the slightest sympathy for the group of people in the military department, and deep down, he felt that these people were innocent of death, but these fourteen people were not the only ones who should die.

If it weren't for the military department delaying the Changsheng Army's exit, the general might not have died in Xiling, and the Black Feather Night Raven would not have almost wiped out the entire army.

The loss of Xiling, the crowd is excited, and the execution of these fourteen officials can calm the anger of the people, and the officials in the court know that these fourteen people are destined to become the guilty ministers of the loss of Xiling, and intercede for them is not only useless, but it is likely that they will also be implicated.

On the eighth day of the third month of the sixth year of Tiansheng, in the morning, the sky was overcast with clouds, and soon the raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

Fourteen officials of the Ministry of War were sentenced for the loss of Xiling, although this was not the biggest case after the saint ascended the throne, but at least the most serious case in the past ten years.

This case, investigated and handled by the Criminal Department, the evidence was ironclad, and finally the sage personally made the will, no force dared to say more, and no minister in the court dared to intercede for these fourteen people.

Most of the officials are bowing their heads, their eyes are cloudy, they don't know what they have suffered in the Criminal Department, and they have lost their vitality before their heads are cut off, as if they are already dead.

The once majestic military officer did not lower his head, his eyes were dull, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes moved in the crowd under the stage, as if he wanted to see if there was any family member in the crowd, and it was good to take a look at it even when he was leaving.

The entrance of the Xishi Caishi is the place where the prisoners are executed, and the little Taoist priest Xuanzhen lost his head here not long ago, although there were many onlookers that day, but it was far less than today's formation, even if it was a rainy day, the court was overcrowded inside and outside.

Fourteen military officials dressed in white torture clothes knelt on the wooden platform that had already been erected.

Fan Wenzheng looked at the young man, and after a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't seen the young man, but he had already guessed his identity.

Soon, his eyes fell on a man's face.

The man was not far from the wooden platform, dressed in cloth, and was less than twenty years old, but his eyes were staring at Fan Wenzheng like a blade.

If it weren't for that day, this young man rode a horse-drawn cart to the front of the criminal department and beat the big drum, so that Lu Junzhong bit the military department like a poisonous snake, and he might not have ended up like this, right?
