"What, Lord Zu was wiped out?" Xu Zhilan was taken aback when he heard the news.

When Xiang'er examined Lord Zu's body, she found that there was still residual warmth, and she should have died not long ago. At that time, the door was bolted from the inside, presumably Lord Luo was more than lucky! Xiang'er analyzed.

"How so?" Xu Zhilan asked.

"Lord Luo heard the sound of a fight downstairs in the inn, and most of them would go downstairs to see if anyone had hurt the county lord. Whether he followed and protected the county lord after seeing him, or turned around and went back to the room without seeing the county lord, he had enough time to return to the inn to protect Lord Zu before Xiang'er. But the fact is that Lord Luo is not in the room, Master Zu was killed, and the door is bolted from the inside. ”

Xiang'er's implication is that Luo Shixun is probably following Xu Zhilan to protect Xu Zhilan, but he hasn't gone back at the moment, I'm afraid the situation is not good.

Xu Zhilan nodded, with Luo Shixun's skills, there will never be no chance to fight back, and the fight will definitely alarm the tenant next door. That is to say, Luo Shixun was not there at the time. The reason for the absence may have been extinguished, or it may have been temporarily diverted by someone. It was useless to think too much, so Xu Zhilan asked the eunuch to invite General Peng over.

General Peng had just fallen asleep when he heard the summons and immediately got up and rushed over.

"The county lord summons the last general, I don't know what to order?"

Xu Zhilan put the teacup in his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals, didn't get up, waved his hand, and left the hall as soon as everyone was done.

"General Peng, everyone is their own people, and the palace will not hide it, open the skylight and say bright words. Although this palace intends to exonerate Cousin Qin, the superficial kung fu needs to be in place. Luo Shixun is not from this palace, he took Zuling to the border pass first to investigate the matter of Cousin Qin. Originally, the matter of understanding the situation was for Xiang'er to go, but today the palace is in a bad mood and wants to go out for a walk, and plans to talk to Zuling in person. Later, there was some unpleasantness at the Tongfu Inn, and he didn't see Zuling and turned back to the General's Mansion. ”

Xu Zhilan saw that there was no surprise on General Peng's face, obviously knowing that Zu Ling was coming, and continued: "Afterwards, the county lord sent Xiang'er to go again, but found that Master Zu had been killed and General Luo was missing!" Could this be that Cousin Qin can't hold his breath......"

General Peng was shocked, if these two people were killed, the biggest suspect would be Qin Yougui. Qin Yougui had an accident, and if he bit indiscriminately, General Peng would be very troublesome.

"The humble post immediately sent someone to search for the whereabouts of General Luo."

At present, I can only find Luo Shixun first to see if he knows who did it.

"Zu Ling is a subordinate of this palace, and he unfortunately died today, so this palace should go and see it."

General Peng said that the murder was dangerous, and he would go first to arrange the soldiers before going.

When Qin Yougui heard the news, he broke out in a cold sweat and said to General Peng: "Who does the general think did this?" ”

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and we don't know who the Lord of Yangtao is. If Princess Ziyang believed that Lord Yangtao was on our side, then it was likely that Princess Jinyang sent someone to do it; If the county lord of Yangtao is on the side of Princess Jinyang, it is likely that the county lord of Yangtao sent General Luo to kill Zuling, and then blame us. Anyway, you first take the soldiers to accompany the county lord to the Tongfu Inn to understand the situation. ”

Qin Yougui led the team and escorted Xu Zhilan to the Tongfu Inn, and after inquiring, he knew that Luo Shixun had left when he was fighting downstairs, and then a man with a hood came to find Zuling.

Xu Zhilan looked at Qin Yougui's eyes with a hint of coldness, and understood that Qin Yougui might be suspecting that he had made a move. Now I can only find Luo Shixun, hoping that Luo Shixun knows something.

"General Qin, this palace suspects that General Luo should have seen this palace leave when he was fighting, so he secretly followed and protected. You immediately send troops to search the streets and alleys of the Tongfu Inn to the General's Mansion! ”

Zu Ling is already dead, just leave him alone, let the soldiers surround the Tongfu Inn, and protect the scene, Xu Zhilan followed Qin Hegui to search for Luo Shixun.

Soon, some soldiers noticed blood stains on the ground and walls of the alley.

Under the illumination of the torches, Qin Yougui and Lan Keqing analyzed the same result based on experience at the same time, the injured person was injured from behind.

"Door-to-door searches, dry wells and other hidden places are carefully checked." After Xu Zhilan gave the order, the soldiers searched for it.

After a burst of chickens and dogs, Luo Shixun was searched by the sergeant from the firewood house of a family.

Qin Yougui checked Luo Shixun's injuries, and knew in his heart that this was not done by Xu Zhilan's people, so Lan Keqing did not have such skills! The strange thing is that Luo Shixun was beaten like this, and he still has a breath.

Luo Shixun was sent to the General's Mansion, and Xu Zhilan immediately arranged for the imperial doctor to come over for treatment.

The imperial doctor is not an immortal, and he said that General Luo is in danger, so he can only do his best, and as for whether he can wake up, he can only resign himself to fate.

Xu Zhilan, Lan Keqing, Qin Yougui and General Peng came to the secret room for analysis.

"General Peng, from the analysis of General Luo's injuries, this person's skill is on par with the general, and the general is ashamed!" Qin Yougui said bluntly.

General Peng was taken aback and asked Xu Zhilan: "Does the county lord know that by the side of Princess Jinyang, whose martial arts are higher than Miss Keqing?" ”

Lan Keqing thought that General Peng was suspecting that it was her doing, so she hurriedly said, "I didn't kill General Luo. ”

Since they were people in the same boat, Qin Yougui no longer concealed it, and said: "Miss Keqing misunderstood, in fact, Qin Mou competed with Miss Keqing yesterday, and it only took five successes. If Miss Keqing had reservations when she competed, Qin guessed that Miss Keqing would not have that kind of injury if she hit Luo Zongbing with her palm alone. ”

Lan Keqing was stunned for two seconds, and then said, "In this way, there are two people who have such skills, but they can't judge whether they are assigned by Princess Jinyang. ”

Then Lan Keqing told the matter of the Tongfu Inn.

According to the descriptions of Lan Keqing and Xu Zhilan, the painters of the General's Mansion painted the portraits of Xiao Jinfeng and the three of them. General Peng sent people to search the whole city overnight.

Xu Zhilan really didn't know who did this, he said in front of General Peng: "This palace is indeed here to investigate Cousin Qin's matter, and it is understandable that you suspect this palace." Of course, Princess Jinyang, who is currently the biggest threat to Princess Ziyang, is also a major suspect. Let's not discuss these first, and when we catch those three people, the answer will come out. ”

General Peng and Qin Yougui did have this kind of thought, and after Xu Zhilan said it himself, they felt that Xu Zhilan was not as likely to harm them as Princess Jinyang.

Xu Zhilan said to Qin Yougui in a consultative tone: "This palace has brought 2,000 guards, who knows if there are any people from Princess Jinyang mixed in?" Lord Zu was killed, Luo Zongbing was seriously injured, and if the palace didn't do anything, if it was reported to her father by Princess Jinyang's people, it would be difficult for the palace to explain. For now, before the murderer is caught, General Qin is the most suspicious, and the meaning of this palace is to make a show for everyone, and ask General Qin to ask himself to be put in prison to show his innocence. Anyway, this is General Peng's territory, and he can't be hungry or frozen. ”
