Several ministers suddenly fell silent, they were completely out of idea now, and they didn't know where to break through.

There has never been such a strange thing in the past, most of them are openly robbed, but now they are secretly calculating, and human lives are involved, even if they have ten heads, they can't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, what does the prince think about this matter?" Qin Xiang asked cautiously.

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zhao.

Yes, this matter is being investigated by Gu Zhixing, his opinion on this matter should be clearer than theirs, right?

"If you don't rely on Uncle Huang, will you die? Or do you have nothing on your head? Gu Zhao said angrily.

He asked them to come to discuss it first, and when they guessed something, Gu Zhixing came to talk to him, so that he could analyze it more rationally.

As a result, they looked like they didn't know anything and didn't know anything.

Qin Xiang shook his head awkwardly: "Wei Chen didn't mean this, Wei Chen just felt that this matter was investigated by the prince, he must know more than we know, if you can let him tell me the details, I believe it won't be long before we can find out." ”

"Lord Qin, if you don't know anything, just shut up." Sheng Genglong said angrily.

Didn't he see that Gu Zhao's face had sunk? He continued to say those brainless words, did he want them to be implicated as well?

Can't they just be quiet?

Qin Xiang opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, since Sheng Genglong is so powerful, let him say it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the murder and the theft of the grain cannot be confused, and now in the absence of clues, it is best to let people pay more attention to the cars in all directions, they have stolen the grain, then the grain will definitely be transported away." Sheng Genglong analyzed.

As for the man who was killed, he didn't think about what to do with it for the time being.

However, if they can recover the grain, their losses will not be great, and they will also be punished by those who defy the royal family.

Gu Zhao groaned, and then nodded: "Aiqing is reasonable, if you can really catch the thief, Aiqing is a meritorious person." ”

Qin Xiang on the side pouted, he could also think of this, but he didn't know what to say, because Gu Zhao was really impatient with him.

"Then let's do it first, you should also pay more attention, and notify me as soon as there is any news." Gu Zhao squinted at them.

"Wechen retired." Everyone said in unison.

When they came out of the study, they went straight out.

And Qin Xiang followed behind Sheng Genglong and said, "Lord Sheng, I didn't expect your brain to be so flexible, and you can even analyze this kind of thing, which makes me feel very surprised. ”

"So what? If you can't analyze it, don't you have to make others analyze it too? Sheng Genglong said angrily.

He doesn't like Qin Xiang, instead of getting along with Qin Xiang, he likes Lin Xiao more, and there won't be so many twists and turns in the straight line.

"Master Shan, what are you doing with such a big anger?" Qin Xiang gave him a strange look.

Their previous relationship was relatively ordinary, not good or bad, but Sheng Genglong didn't need to treat him like this, right?

Sheng Genglong, who was walking in front, paused, and sneered: "Lord Qin, I don't know what you want to say, it's your business that you can't be reused by the emperor, if you want the emperor to be impressed by you, then please clean up the portal first." ”

After Sheng Genglong left, Qin Xiang was still stunned, what did he mean by this?

What is a clean portal?

Qin Xiang, who couldn't figure it out, walked towards the palace gate in a daze.

……

Two days later, the news broke out among the people that Zhuangzi rice had been stolen and that someone had died.

thought that they would accuse Gu Zhao of not managing it well, but it turned out that the people felt sorry for Gu Zhao, scolded the person who stole the grain half to death, and spontaneously went to investigate the suspicious characters.

This move made Su Mian and others feel very heartwarming.

It's just that she didn't have to be happy for long, and her little face collapsed, because the murderer had not been found until now, which was enough to prove that the person was very cunning.

Gu Zhixing, who came back from outside, saw Su Mian at a glance, he walked over and twisted his eyebrows and said, "Ah Mian, what's wrong with you?" ”

In the past few days, he has been busy looking for the real culprit, and he may have more or less ignored Su Mian, but he has tried his best not to ignore her.

Seeing that he was back, Su Mian hurriedly asked, "Is there any clue today?" What happened to the corpse? ”

Gu Zhixing, who walked to her and sat down, shook his head: "The corpse may not have anything to do with the theft of this grain, but it may also be related, and the related thing is that they don't know how to divide the spoils, so they killed that person directly, if there is no connection, it may be that the person who stole the grain deliberately wanted to divert our attention." ”

This incident appeared very illogically, and it was too late for them to think about it.

"Is that or is there no progress?" Su Mian asked in frustration.

Gu Zhixing nodded, he couldn't bear to see her like this, but for now, it was like this.

It was strange to him that nothing like this had happened to the other Zhuangzi, or even the slightest sign of it.

But the more this happened, the more it seemed that things were not as simple as they thought, but he thought it might be simpler?

"Then you go get busy first, these things are more important." Su Mianqiang said with strength.

Hey, if only I were as smart as the female number one in the TV series, this kind of case may be solved by me in three or two clicks, but in fact, it is...... I don't understand at all.

Gu Zhixing was amused by her words, but he did have other things to deal with.

"Ah Mian, don't think so much, you have to think about the good, at least the other grains haven't had an accident, right? At least no one was killed, isn't that all a good thing? Gu Zhixing comforted.

Su Mian nodded, and asked him to go about his business first, and not worry about her.

In the study.

Gu Zhixing glanced at the secret guard, and then waited until Lu Zhe came before he asked in a deep voice, "Who do you think is most likely to do this?" ”

"Liu Ce, or the person behind him, or Su Rou." Lu Zhe said without hesitation.

They don't know who the person behind Liu Ce is, in other words, it is not certain whether there is such a person or not, but Liu Ce must be a suspect, as for Su Rou......

"It's not her, she hasn't dared to do this to come to Xisheng to do something." Gu Zhixing twisted his eyebrows and said.

At least in his opinion, it is unlikely to be Su Rou.

Lu Zhe thought about it and felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and then said: "Then if it is Liu Ce, he asked Qin Lian to help harvest the rice, in order to paralyze us?" ”

"Maybe it's possible?" Gu Zhixing asked rhetorically.

Everything is possible until the outcome is decided.

Lu Zhe twisted his eyebrows, he always felt puzzled about this matter, first, the body was examined, the death was beaten to death, and this person had traces of poisoning before, and he was not a person in Zhuangzi, it was very likely that after someone else killed him, he was afraid of being discovered, so he threw the body at the foot of the mountain.

As for the people who stole the grain, it was certainly not just three or two people, but a whole bunch of people.

Otherwise, how could there be so much less grain overnight? It doesn't make sense.

"Have you found any new clues in your neighborhood?" Gu Zhixing suddenly asked.

Lu Zhe shook his head, but said with a serious face: "I think there is something wrong with this person in charge, his attitude is very strange, except for the traces of the wheel found that day, there is no other discovery." ”

That is, things have developed to this point and have reached a dead end.

Gu Zhixing thought about it carefully, he always felt as if he had missed something, so he couldn't remember it at all.

After thinking for a long time, he quickly asked in a deep voice, "What are the traces of the wheels?" Think about it, is it letting the way to sink, or is there only a shallow trace? ”

"Does it matter?" Lu Zhe asked puzzled.

Gu Zhixing didn't answer him, but let him think about it and think of telling him.

Lu Zhe, who was pacing back and forth, thought seriously, which was also very strange to say, until a stick of incense passed, Lu Zhe said: "There are no deep traces, just a trail of carriages, which seems to have the feeling that several carriages are passing by, and now it seems that they should be walking back and forth in place, right?" ”

"So the millet was not shipped out." Gu Zhixing said with a straight face.

If the millet was not transported, and their people did not find the millet in Zhuangzi and the villagers, where did the millet go?

Lu Zhe looked at him in surprise: "Lord Wang, are you serious?" The millet was not shipped out? ”

"If it's a heavy object on the carriage, don't you think the marks are deep? We were the first to arrive at the scene of the crime that day, and since then, the people in the Zhuangzi have been strict in and out, and even the villagers have not been able to get out. Gu Zhixing sneered.

They thought too much about it at first, but in fact it was very simple.

Lu Zhe, who didn't quite understand, looked at him curiously: "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Don't worry, they stole the grain but there is no way to transport it out, they must be even more anxious than us, the top priority is to find out this murder, in this way, you go ......" Gu Zhixing said with great confidence.

He asked Lu Zhe to spread the word that the deceased had saved General Lu's life before, and now Lu Zhe wanted to repay him after finding out, but the other person was already dead, and the matter of stealing grain this time had nothing to do with the deceased, so he looked for the family of the deceased, so that Lu Zhe could return General Lu's life-saving kindness.

And how can this "kindness" be returned?

Of course, it is ten thousand taels of gold as a thanks, although General Lu Lao has passed away, but the dedication he made for Xisheng is remembered by the people.

……

As soon as this news came out, the capital was completely boiling, and many people were shocked by Lu Zhe's actions, but this life-saving favor is indeed not something that gold and silver can repay.

There were even many people who spontaneously donated money for Lu Zhe to help transfer to the benefactor's family.

If it weren't for that person who saved General Lu's life, there might be no help from General Lu in the future, and it would be impossible for them to live such a peaceful life.

In the palace, Gu Zhao was very puzzled by Lu Zhe's approach, but when he asked Lu Zhe to enter the palace to explain, he found that he was vague about this matter, but he also found that the person who did it was Gu Zhixing.

"Uncle Huang, why are you doing this?" Gu Zhao was very puzzled.
