"This incident shocked me, so I ordered Xue Bi to transfer the file on this case recorded by Qianji, and when I searched carefully, I did find that Dou Jue and Ning Zheng had stayed in the eastern suburbs, and the Deng family also had men and horses stationed in the Minzhuang Mountains in the eastern suburbs. Dudu Fu couldn't find a trace. Later, Xue Bi found suspicions in the bandits who went out of the mountain to intercept and kill Dou Xunen. He specially searched for people everywhere to find out the origin of this group of bandits. In the end, I found out that these bandits were from the Double Brake Gang. It is the father of Hengye Gongzi - Yin Shi's subordinate. ”

"The Fu family, the Deng family, and the Dou family teamed up with Ning Zheng to get rid of Dou Xunen? Why is that? Mu Yun was dumbfounded and said, "Dou Xunen.... What kind of thing did Dou Jia Saburo do to attract the three major clans to collude with Ning Zheng and put him to death? ”

Jiang Chengyi frowned and said, "It's this strange thing. A few days ago, I personally went to Siyinfang and read the records of the big and small strange things that happened in the Great Wei at the end of the third year of Yongning, but I didn't find anything. ”

"I have a question." Mu Yun said strangely: "Dou Xunen... Not Dou Jue's parent? Why did Zuo Feng Yigong Dou Jue join forces with outsiders to kill his parents and children? ”

Jiang Chengyi was stunned, these days, he patronized the investigation of the connection between the Fu family and the events of the year, but he ignored such a shocking suspicion.

Yes, Dou Xunen is the most talented one among the Dou family's disciples, and Zuo Feng Yigong is the most favored by him. How did such an enviable father-son relationship come to such an end?

Tiger poison doesn't eat children, let alone Dou Jue's extremely favored son Dou Xunen?

He pondered for a moment, his expression becoming heavy: "These days, my attention has been on the Fu family and his son, and I haven't paid attention to the fact that Dou Jue was also in the eastern suburbs at that time. Perhaps the investigation of this case went in the wrong direction from the beginning. ”

As he spoke, he muttered to himself, thought for a moment, and immediately lifted the curtain of the car and said to Xue Qing, who was driving the car outside: "Ah Qing, don't go back to the house first." Take a detour, change your clothes and change your appearance, let's go to Siyin Fang. ”

Xue Qing was caught off guard by his sudden order to change the route, and was stunned for a long time before responding, "Oh." ”

Mu Yun was suspicious: "What are you going to Siyin Fang to do at this time?" It's already dark now. ”

Jiang Chengyi said: "Let's go and check all the files entered by the Qianji Department back then, just look at the Dou family, maybe we can find any clues." ”

Mu Yun said again: "You are injured... Can you afford to toss? ”

Jiang Chengyi kowtowed his pale lips and said: "My injury is fine, it is not a knife wound, and now it is winter in Luoyang, the wound will not be inflamed, and I can still hold on." ”

He insisted on this, and it was useless for Mu Yunxiao to persuade him, so he simply didn't persuade him. It's better to have her by her side, untie the knot in this matter for him, and let him rest in the house.

Xue Qing drove the ox cart into an ordinary alley, and Jiang Chengyi, with Mu Yun's support, quietly went to a dilapidated thatched hut.

Xue Qing took off the civilian clothes and human skin mask that he had always prepared in the car, and looked left and right to make sure that there were no bystanders around the hut to monitor and follow him, and then hurriedly entered.

So the lord and the lady dressed up here. His subordinates stood guard near the hut and watched the wind, and if there was anything unusual, they immediately came to tell him. Xue Qing said.

Jiang Chengyi nodded, took the clothes and mask he handed over, and changed clothes with Mu Yun in the room.

After a few moments, the three of them came out of the hut again, and their appearance had completely changed.

I saw Mu Yun and Jiang Chengyi disguised themselves as an old couple, bending over and supporting each other and walking forward slowly. Xue Qing also disguised himself as a different one and followed behind them.

The three of them made a detour from the alley and went to the east gate of Piyun Lane.

The sky was dark, there were few pedestrians on the road, and most of the people of Los Angeles were playing at the Flower Street Market at this time.

Xue Qing saw that there was no one left and right, so he took Jiang Chengyi and Mu Yun and quickly slipped in from the side door of Siyinfang.

The Shang Wuxing guards guarding here saw that there was something unusual in the side door, and immediately rushed over.

The four guards faced each other with swords, and Xue Qing immediately took out his waist card to prove his identity to them.

The guards guarding the side door doubled twice before letting the three of them go.

Jiang Chengjia was familiar with the road and touched the wing room on the right.

When he arrived at a safe place, he tore off the mask stuck to his face, gasped, and the hot pain behind his back made him throb again, and his face was even more difficult to look at.

Xue Qing went to find the fourth uncle and Yan Ji. Jiang Chengyi sat in the room with Mu Yun and waited.

While the two of them waited, they thought carefully about the anomalies of Dou Xunen's matter.

Soon, Mu Yun asked again: "Ah Yi, when you came to Siyin Fang a few days ago, didn't you find any abnormalities in the Dou clan at the end of the third year of Yongning?" "Every day

Jiang Cheng was stunned, thinking about the memory in his mind and said: "At the end of the third year of Yongning, the Dou clan was appointed as the head of the Dongfu Division because of Dou Jue... It's been smooth sailing, and nothing is abnormal. So... I think I'm missing something. Only then did I want to consult the file again. ”

Mu Yun said, "Perhaps... We shouldn't have started at the end of the third year of Yongning. ”

Jiang Chengyi retracted his eyebrows, lowered his head, and said after a moment of silence: "You mean, maybe we should check the files recorded in the Qianji place in the year Dou Xunen was born?" ”

Mu Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "That's exactly what I mean." Since you have read the file at the end of the third year of Yongning, but you have not found anything, it means that the Thousand Machines Department has not written down any useful clues. Dou Jue suddenly killed his own son, which was already amazing. What's more, is it his extremely favored Dou Xunen? No matter what, as a father, Dou Jue would not bear to be a killer. Unless... Dou Xunen touched the interests of the entire Dou clan because of his own selfishness, and Dou Jue could only kill his relatives in righteousness. ”

"Or..."Jiang Chengyi paused and said, "Dou Xunen is not Dou Jue's own son. He was burdened with the earth-shattering secret of the Dou family, forcing Dou Jue to join forces with King Huai to kill him. ”

Mu Yun pursed the corners of his mouth and expressed his agreement with silence.

After about half a burnt incense, Xue Qing brought Fourth Uncle Fang and Yan Ji to the side room.

Fourth Uncle Fang stood in front of Jiang Chengyi, this is an old man with gorgeous hair, although he is in the age of sixties, he is still energetic, and his upright face still vaguely reveals the handsome demeanor of his youth.

Yan Jisheng is charming and colorful, wearing a cicada-wing tulle, only wrapped in a half-shirt robe, faintly revealing a proud posture, covered with a veil, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with autumn waves, and the seductive power makes people can't help but want to get closer to her.

The two of them were about to salute Jiang Chengyi, but when they saw him waving his hand, they said eagerly: "I also have to trouble the fourth uncle and Yan Ji to find out the file about the Dou clan recorded in the first year of Yongchu and Qianji for me..."

Listening to Jiang Chengyi's instructions, he didn't want to ask more, just complied, bowed slightly to him, and took Yan Ji behind the screen on the other side of the house.

Behind the mica screen, there is a shelf made of pear wood, on which are placed many ancient books and antiques. Fourth Uncle Fang fumbled through the pile of ancient scrolls for a while and stopped. I saw him hold a scroll in the center, lift it up gently, and gently pull out a silver thread from the pile of ancient books.

With a little force, the pear wood carved shelves against the wall split in half from the middle, and a gap in the tiled wall behind it slowly opened to the right.

There is a secret room in the wing, which stores another file kept by the Thousand Machines Office here.

As far as the eye can see, there are bookshelves several meters long in the secret room, which occupy the entire room. The shelves are lined with a variety of boxes and scrolls.

Xue Qing searched for it in the secret room with Yan Ji, the fourth uncle in the room.

Jiang Chengyi waited outside, although the anxiety in his heart had not appeared on his face. But Mu Yun knew him and knew that he wanted to know the truth at the moment. So he stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand lightly, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry... Today I will accompany you to find it. ”

He glanced at Mu Yun, suppressed the inexplicable nervousness in his heart, and took a deep breath and said, "Okay." ”

If you want to say why he is in a hurry, in addition to wanting to find out the truth of the events of the year, he also wants to find out from this clue evidence that can prove that Fu Boming Hengye Gongzi detonated the private prison of Deng Mansion. He had selfish intentions and wanted to protect Qin Ye, although he knew that if this matter was not controlled by Qin Ye, it would not have caused such a catastrophe, but he still wanted to prove that Qin Ye was not the ultimate culprit of the explosion in the private prison.

After about two cups of tea, Xue Qing, Fourth Uncle Fang and Yan Ji walked out of the dark room with a stack of files.

The three of them exited the secret room, and the brick wall and pear wood frame that implied the mechanism slowly closed.

"Childe... There are too many dossiers in the first year of Yongchu... Are you sure you want to read them all? Xue Qing looked at the mountains of books stacked on the desk, and frowned.

Jiang Chengyi stubbornly said: "Even if there are more, today... We need to find some clues from this. It's not just the dossier of the first year of Yongning, but the dossier of the end of the third year of Yongning, maybe check it carefully. ”

Fourth Uncle Fang looked gloomy, stared at these scrolls and asked, "What is the son looking for?" ”

"The first year of Yongchu is when Dou Xunen was born. According to the household registration record, Dou Xunen was born in September, and since this is the case, he took September as a line to carefully check what was unusually strange about Dou and his children and protégés back then. Jiang Chengyi briefly instructed a few words.

Fourth Uncle Fang nodded, picked up a volume stacked on the desk, and checked it.

The five of them gathered around and read from the evening, lit the lamp and read, until the night was dark, and did not stop.

Hundreds of volumes of books made their eyes unbearably jerky and their backs ached.

The fourth uncle's servant made some noodles and snacks according to Xue Qing's instructions and sent them over.

A few people had a snack and continued to flip through the pages.

After a while, Yan Ji, who had been silent, found something unusual from the case file she was holding.

"On the fifth day of the ninth month of the first year of Yongchu... When Dou Xunen was born, how could it be the day when Dou Yue, the sister of Zuo Fengyi's Gong Dou Jue, was assassinated in an affair? She muttered to herself, and Jiang Chengyi listened to her.
