In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Cheng changed into an official uniform, and Qi Ying was wearing a low-level general's armor, and the two hurried to the Qin Palace.

"Stop!" Before it was near, there was already a long halberd crossing of the forbidden army.

This is inevitable, Ye Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly took out his token, handed it to the forbidden army, and said: "I am General Wuwei, I have something important to ask to see the king, and I am tired of informing me." ”

He is the highest governor of the Wuwei Mansion, the official is the same as the third grade, and the level is not small, but after the forbidden army saw the token, he returned it to Ye Cheng, and said with a glance: "My lord, forgive me, we are only responsible for the palace guards, not responsible for passing the word, if your lord has something to meet the king, please play it yourself, and wait for the king to summon you." ”

Hearing this, Ye Cheng was anxious, if this is played, how long will it be delayed, he said with a smile: "You also read the token just now, this official does have something important, you can be accommodating." ”

"Your Excellency forgives your sins." As he spoke, the forbidden soldier returned to his original position, standing straight.

"You!" There was nothing wrong with the forbidden army, but this time, Ye Cheng was angry, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, and scolded angrily:

"How can this be true? The official said it! There is something important to meet the king! It's about the safety of the community! If you delay, something big will happen! Can you afford it? ”

When he said this, the forbidden army first looked at each other, then weighed it, and one of them said, "Okay, my lord, later, I will inform the above." ”

"Don't go yet!" Ye Cheng also lost his temper.

Seeing that he was so serious, it seemed that there was really a big matter, and the forbidden army did not dare to delay any longer, so they hurriedly ran into the palace and spread the matter to the top.

After waiting at the palace gate for a while, the news came out, and Xiao Yuan dictated that Ye Cheng entered the palace.

The latter was overjoyed, and immediately took Qi Ying, under the guidance, and walked quickly towards the palace study.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was in the study to give instructions, and after Ye Cheng and Qi Ying came in, the two knelt on the ground at the same time, and said in unison: "See the king"

"Flat." Xiao Yuan didn't raise his head and said a word, the brush in his hand didn't stop, and after refuting the admonition of the Yongan County Shou on the bamboo slip, he also gave certain instructions.

"King Xie." The two got up, and Xiao Yuan continued to ask, "What's the matter?" But there are clues to the murder? ”

"This" Ye Cheng cautiously looked at Xiao Yuan's face, and then said: "There are some clues, but the ministers dare to ask the king to give a few more days." ”

"What?" When Xiao Yuan heard this, he almost laughed angrily, and at the same time stopped the movements in his hand, looked up at Ye Cheng, and saw that there was another person beside him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng hurriedly explained: "King Yu, this person's name is Qi Ying, he is an officer of the Wuwei Mansion, and it is he who peeled off the cocoon and cleared the fog step by step, so that he has today's clues." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly said to Qi Ying: "Xiao Qi, don't you explain it carefully to the king soon." ”

"Yes." Qi Ying hurriedly responded, this was the first time he had met Xiao Yuan, and he was inevitably nervous in his heart, because this was a young monarch, decisive in killing, and the entire Qin State was fought down by him with the army, and there was no doubt about his majesty.

Xiao Yuan looked at him and waited for him to continue, his first impression of Qi Ying was actually good.

The latter subconsciously swallowed his saliva, lowered his body slightly, organized his tone, and began to explain the clues carefully to Xiao Yuan.

After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you sure of these clues?" ”

"Back to the king, along this line, you will definitely be able to find out the identity of the deceased, once the identity of the deceased is clear, the murderer will be easy to investigate." Qi Ying is back.

"En" Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "If this is the case, the deceased is the people of Shuzhong, and three days is really not enough."

At this time, Qi Ying knelt down again, and said boldly: "Weichen begs the king, another ten days, ten days, minister, this case must be solved!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and then he couldn't help but say: "Qi Ying, you know that in front of this king, if you dare to joke, it is a crime of bullying the king!" ”

"Minister, it only takes ten days!" Qi Ying said again.

At this time, Ye Cheng panicked, knelt down, and said hurriedly: "This, this, king, it will take several days from Qinzhou to Shuzhong, and Shuzhong is so big, these ten days"

"This is what the officers of your Wuwei Mansion themselves say, and if this is the case, then ten days, ten days later, this king will see the result! Otherwise, the head is not guaranteed! Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he also waved his hand casually: "Nothing to do and retreat." ”

"This is, Weichen retired." The matter has been decided, Ye Cheng has no choice but to retreat with Qi Yingshi.

After waiting outside, it is conceivable that Ye Cheng couldn't help but start complaining: "I said Xiao Qi, how dare you boast of such a Haikou in front of the king, if the ten-day deadline is up and the case is not solved, how can it be good!" ”

"Don't worry, ten days, it's definitely enough." Qi Ying said confidently.

Seeing him like this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What are your plans? ”

Qi Ying said: "After returning to the house, the lord immediately sent an order in the name of the general government to all parts of the Wuwei Mansion in Shuzhong, where there is a dyeing workshop, must collect its blue dye. ”

Wuwei Mansion, there are everywhere, and once this net is cast, it can be imagined.

Ye Cheng also understood what he meant, and immediately said, "Not bad! In this way, we can compare them one by one, and as long as we find exactly the same as the deceased, we can lock down the dyeing workshop, and then, lock the identity of the deceased. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Qi Ying clenched his fists and said.

After having this clue, at Qi Ying's suggestion, Ye Cheng did not delay for a moment, and after he went back, he immediately passed down the order.

The order of the General Office of Wuwei was issued and spread to all places, and for a while, the officers and soldiers in various places began to move.

And they were looking for dyes, and Wei Zhong didn't know that it was related to the murder, so he didn't care.

It didn't take long at all, under the arrival of soldiers from all over the country, some dyes from various dyeing workshops were brought back, and when Ye Cheng and Qi Ying hurried up and rushed to Shuzhong, those blue dyes had already been collected and were waiting for them to compare.

Yongan Wuwei Mansion.

At this time, six days have passed since the ten-day period.

In the house, the two have been busy for a long time.

"This color is somewhat like"

"No, it smells different"

"What about this?"

"The material is different"

In this way, until two more days passed, Qi Ying finally found the dye that was exactly the same as the deceased's body, he couldn't stop rubbing the dye with his fingers, and after observing, he put it under his nose from time to time and sniffed it carefully, and after a while, he said to Ye Cheng: "My lord, I found it." ”

Ye Cheng understood, first nodded at him, and then looked at a small strip of cloth next to the dye.

It reads: Fuling, Yunyang County, Lin's Dyeing Workshop.
