The Western Capital is Stormy Chapter 38: The Puzzle

Liang Zhou was lying on the ground at this time, and the kidnapper sat on the table boredly, holding the candlestick in her hand, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Liang Zhou compared his hands, took out a wooden board from his body, and added a half-finger-long white stone bar in his hand, on which he kept writing some incomprehensible ghost drawings.

Liang Zhou got up again and walked over, holding the candlestick to carefully look at the male corpse that had been dead for a long time, Liang Zhou took out the dagger pinned to his boots, picked off the corpse's clothes, looked at it carefully, pouted on the ground and looked up for a long time, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go." ”

The kidnapper jumped down and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Liang Zhou said: "Leave first!" ”

Liang Zhou walked out of the yard, took a bucket of water in the backyard, splashed it into the house, and then put the bucket back and buckled it upside down, and when he walked back, everyone was very puzzled.

Madman Yue asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liang Zhou said: "Everyone retreats to the tunnel first, Cui Xiaozi Palace, after we go down, you will destroy the news, come down from the well, don't leave a trace." ”

Cui Xiaozi nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The group went down the tunnel and returned to the bottom of the dry well, and after Cui Xiaozi jumped down from it, Liang Zhou said: "Now the problem is serious." ”

"How?"

Liang Zhou took out the wooden board he had just recorded, and said, "I just took a look, and now there are a few questions, Cui boy, according to what you said, the person who died on it was the person who connected the Qiang Yutang, right?" ”

Cui Xiaozi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Liang Zhou asked: "Then you can tell me about his natural situation, such as his age, gender, appearance, etc." ”

Cui Xiaozi thought for a while and said, "His name is Lao Zeng, and he is a strong man about forty years old, about seven feet tall, with a short beard. ”

Liang Zhou nodded and said, "These are okay, so do you know that he is a left-hander?" ”

Cui Xiaozi was stunned for a moment and said, "No!" Lao Zeng has been with me for many years, he is not left-handed. ”

"That's it, the one who died above is not Lao Zeng!"

Li Jin asked, "How do you know?" ”

Liang Zhou said: "First, the time of this person's death, Cui Xiaozi once said that the people and horses of Qiang Yutang have recently moved, and the people who connect them went to investigate, and there will be a return in about two days, so Cui Xiaozi must have seen this Lao Zeng in the past few days, right?" ”

Cui Xiaozi said: "Yes! ”

Liang Zhou was confirmed, and then said: "That's right, judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, this person has been dead for less than a day, and the corpse spots on his body are still very fresh, but you recognize this person's appearance as Lao Zeng." Then the problem is, there are obvious calluses on the position of the tiger's mouth and palm on his left hand, and his clothes are very neat and clean, and they do not fit the corpse. ”

Li Jin asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Liang Zhou said: "It means that this person is not right!" ”

Dadari scratched his hair and asked, "Is it okay to be human?" ”

Madman Yue said: "The corpse can't deceive people, since Lao Zeng is not left-handed, and his face is Lao Zeng's face, then ...... Hiss! ”

"What do you think of?" Liang Zhou looked at Madman Yue and asked.

Madman Yue said: "Lao Zeng is probably already dead!" And the person above is mixed in the Qiang Yutang with the identity of Lao Zeng, is it a fake Lao Zeng who connects with Cui Xiaozi? ”

Cui Xiaozi frowned and said, "No!" Whether it's fake or not, there will always be a difference, and I can't fail to find out. ”

Madman Yue said, "Then how do you explain this corpse?" ”

The blue fat man said: "Is there such a possibility, this person is wearing a mask and disguised as Lao Zeng, trying to sneak into the Qiang Yutang to steal some secrets, was discovered by the real Lao Zeng, and killed here, Lao Zeng didn't have time to explain, so as to cause the current situation?" ”

Liang Zhou said: "Then there are still a few questions, first, what secrets do you have in Qiangyuan Hall that others covet. Second, since this person is a fake, where did the real old man go? Third, who broke the contact code of the dry well? Fourthly, I found two different footprints in the house, and judging by the size and depth of the footprints, the people who came were two men, one of whom was emaciated and had a weak foot, presumably suffering from some congenital disease, which caused him to be thin. The other man was very tall, probably about eight feet. Looking at the position of the two, it is mainly tall people. ”

The kidnapper mother said suspiciously: "You can judge these just from the footprints?" Really? ”

"If you don't say it, if you're ugly, you have to read more!"

The kidnapper was angry and said, "You are looking for death!" ”

Li Jindao: "When it comes to business, how can you talk about it and be indecent again?" ”

Liang Zhoudao: "Now things are more complicated, you see, the real Lao Zeng lives and dies, there is a fake Lao Zeng here, and two mysterious guests have appeared, obviously, this place has been exposed!" As for whether Lao Zeng died or was arrested, it is unknown. ”

Li Jin asked, "Then what now?" ”

Liang Zhou immediately decided: "Immediately withdraw from the secret passage and return the same way!" Princess, I'm afraid I can't go out of Chang'an from here. It's best not to go anywhere now, I suspect Qiang Yutang is being targeted. ”

Li Jin frowned and said, "Even if I don't go out of Chang'an from here, I have to go out from other places, and Qianru is still in Jiangnan." ”

Liang Zhoudao: "I didn't suspect it before, you said that Qianru had an accident in Jiangnan, who was the person who sent the news back?" Is it reliable, and is there any token to prove the identity? Could it be a trap? ”

"How is this possible? Are you saying that this series of activities is all aimed at princesses? ”

Liang Zhou looked at the kidnapper and said, "This matter is one after another, and it has to be suspicious." Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, it is 800 miles away, and it will take some time, this news is afraid that it is also fake news. ”

Li Jin frowned and said, "When you say this, it seems that someone is deliberately targeting me, just like the forces under me." ”

Liang Zhou said: "It's not like, all kinds of signs indicate that the princess's mansion is also being targeted, we must be careful in the future, and we must not act rashly, and be caught by the enemy hiding in the shadows." ”

When the group returned to the princess's mansion the same way, Grandma Sun was as happy as anything, and her face was reflected when she came out to greet Li Jin.

Liang Zhou followed behind, quietly observing these people who came to greet him, maybe they hid too well, maybe they weren't enemies!

In the evening, Liang Zhou quietly entered Li Jin's palace, found him, and said to Li Jin: "Princess, that disciple sneaked in, do you want your subordinates to knock him out and throw him out?" ”

Li Jin retracted his head into the bathtub and said, "How dare he do this?" ”

Li Jin immediately thought that Liang Zhou might have something to do with him, and it was inconvenient to say it in front of others, but it was too inopportune for him to come, so he came over just in time for her to take a bath!

Li Jin said: "You go out first, don't make a sound." ”

He was stunned for a moment and said, "But the princess!" ”

Li Jin waved his hand and said, "Pull the screen open and stay outside the door so that no one can come in." ”

He wanted to speak and stopped, but finally gritted his teeth and retreated.

Li Jin smiled at the corner of his mouth, watching Liang Zhou sneakily touch from the wall, holding the screen in his hand, and looking inside.

Li Jin immediately asked, "Who is there?" ”

knew that Liang Zhou was coming, but she deliberately didn't explain, and only nodded Liang Zhou.

Liang Zhou was so frightened that he retracted his head, sat behind the screen, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, waited for a while, didn't hear any movement, and lay on the ground again, leaning on the ground and looking inside.

"If you don't come out again, I'll call someone!"

Liang Zhou looked up and down, and found that the fog inside was clear, and he saw a figure shaking in a hazy way, Liang Zhou thought to himself: "Could it be the eldest princess bathing?" Why is there no one to serve? ”

Liang Zhou pinched his throat and imitated Jin Dou'er's voice and asked, "Princess, do you want to add some hot water?" Do you need slaves and maids to come in and serve? ”

Li Jin was stunned when he heard this! If she is really blind and can't see, just listening to this voice is really impossible to tell, Liang Zhou can actually ventriloquist?

Li Jindao: "Don't hide it from me, although this voice is similar to Jin Dou'er, it is unnatural, who are you?" ”

Liang Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have seen through this, are your ears downwind?" ”

Li Jin asked, "What are you here for?" Get out! ”

Liang Zhou said: "I'll talk to you about today's events, since there is no one, let's talk about it through the screen, and I'll leave after speaking." ”

Li Jindao: "You are really a scoundrel, I am still bathing and you will break in and let people know how I can get married?" ”

Liang Zhou smiled: "Don't you see that I Liang is good-looking, and the next sentence will say: The body is seen by you, and the only way to do it is to make a promise?" ”

Li Jin said angrily: "Still make a promise? If your father finds out, he'll cut you! ”

Liang Zhou said: "Don't scare me, I didn't peek!" ”

Li Jindao: "Do you still want to watch it?" Believe it or not, I gouged out your eyes too? ”

Liang Zhou laughed and said, "If that's the case, aside from our identities, the two of us are really a natural pair." ”

"Who's a couple with you!"

Liang Zhou said: "Let's get down to business, before you told me that there are twenty-two halls of heaven and earth, and there are only four halls of people around you to guard, is it that except for these four halls, the others have all defected?" ”

Li Jin listened to Liang Zhou's words, and responded: "In fact, in addition to the twenty-two on the surface, there is also a secret organization in the twenty-two halls of heaven and earth, and the reason why they rebelled was because this organization was bribed. ”

Liang Zhou asked, "How can there be another one?" What is this organization called? What for? ”

Li Jindao: "It's called Shuwei, and it was led by one of my father's personal guards." ”

"His guards were bought? You're kidding, right? ”

Li Jin stretched out his hand to the bathtub, grabbed the edge of the basin and said: "This involves a secret, I only know that the person who was bought was given by the emperor's grandfather back then, and the uncle and my father have one, personal guards." ”

As soon as Li Jin's voice fell, she was stunned, isn't it her personal guard given to her by her father?

"Why didn't you say it?"

Li Jin came back to his senses, and then said: "This person has been holding back, and when it was time to really make a move, he betrayed my father and emperor, and the twenty-second hall rebelled, in fact, it was these people he bought to take the lead in the rebellion. ”

"I don't expect to know about the things back then, so let's talk about the twenty-two halls."

Li Jindao: "Twenty-two halls, except for Dayuanxian who took refuge in the Northern Barbarians, Xuanhuang Hall who rebelled against the water, and Qiangyu Hall was disabled, the rest of the halls all existed in name only, and the Seventh Grandfather sent troops to suppress them and wiped out these rebel forces one by one. ”

Liang Zhou said: "Twenty-two halls, now it seems that there is no climate, you took the opportunity to gather some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, changed your identity, from a traitor to a guard, yes, the means are quite high." ”

Li Jin listened to Liang Zhou's words and said angrily: "You are the shrimp soldier and crab general!" ”

Liang Zhou said with a smile: "It's a shrimp and it's a skin shrimp." ”
