What happened in Zhenhai, it stands to reason that it should not be preached to Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, but things are sometimes so wonderful, and the case about the prince Li Heng really spread to Chang'an City. And it reached the ears of Wang Dazhu.

Xilingyue's name also spread to Wang Dazhu's ears along with this bizarre and bizarre case.

Such a strange woman seemed to have a magical attraction to Wang Dazhu, and as soon as she heard about her, she immediately attracted all his attention.

However, here we are not in a hurry to say that Wang Dazhui knew about Xilingyue's future affairs, and first continue to talk about how Xilingyue solved the murder case of Li Heng's secret room of the prince.

……

When Li Qi and Xilingyue rushed to Rongbao Pingzhai, they learned that Shopkeeper Liu had not come back since he went out yesterday afternoon, and he had been missing for a whole day! Li Qi sent someone to search the entire shop, but found nothing. Asked a few guys and craftsmen, but they didn't know where the shopkeeper Liu went. The clothes, money, and belongings in his room were not touched at all, and it did not look like he had absconded in fear of sin.

Xi Lingyue felt very bad, and understood that she was startling the snake yesterday, and remembered the words she had just seen on the golden screen, so she asked the craftsman: "What is the name of your shopkeeper Liu?" ”

The craftsman replied truthfully: "Our shopkeeper is called Liu Dong. ”

Xiling Yue frowned and muttered, "Liu Dong? No, it shouldn't be like this......"

After that, she sighed for a while, her expression seemed sad and happy. Seeing this, Li Qi couldn't help but ask, "What did you think of?" ”

"No, not yet," Xiling Yue came back to her senses, "I'm thinking, this whole day has passed, if Shopkeeper Liu wanted to escape, he would have already escaped from Runzhou at this moment." And if the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill him, he must have succeeded a long time ago......"

Li Qi also sighed: "Yes, the clue of the case is broken again." ”

Xiling Yue was still unwilling to give up, but she also made plans for the worst: "I am tired that Li Fu will send people to keep an eye on the four city gates, and there are ...... If there is a murder in the city in the next few days, please send someone to send me a message. ”

"Okay." Li Qi nodded in agreement.

Xiling Yue had to return to Muxian Yazhu first.

After dinner in the evening, she took out the two bloody white silks she had found before, put them under the candle flame and carefully compared, found another piece of rice paper, and wrote down a few clues about the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng":

A Luo: Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky.

Li Heng: The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu.

Book on the screen: Shiwei is in September, and the preface belongs to the third autumn.

Liu Dong ......?

Xi Lingyue looked at these sentences, and felt more and more uneasy, this emotion reached its peak after she heard a news - that night, Li Qi sent someone to spread the word, saying that the body of the shopkeeper Liu had been found in the small river in the west of the city, and the death was terrifying.

Xiao Guo dressed up as a coachman and sent Xilingyue to the place of the incident overnight, when martial law was already under martial law near Xiaohe, and it was still Cao Zhengzheng who was in charge of the case at the scene. When he saw Xiling Yue coming, his face was calm, and he didn't ask her how she won Li Qi's trust at all, and said directly: "The servant will order the villain to tell you the matter in detail." ”

Xiling Yue stretched out her hand and asked, "Please speak." ”

Cao Zheng swallowed his saliva and said, "This evening, a woman was washing here, and when she saw a swollen left arm floating, she reported to the official. The villain came to search, and found the deceased's head, right arm, two legs, and body in the ditch. Because the servant specially confessed, if there was a murder case in the past two days, it would be reported immediately, and the villain did not dare to hide it. After the servant learned about it, he ordered all the guys and craftsmen of Rongbao Pingzhai to come and identify the body, and after they carefully identified it, this was the body of Liu Dong, the shopkeeper of Rongbao Pingzhai. ”

Xilingyue's face became worried after hearing this, and she looked at the place covered with a straw mat not far away: "Then down is the corpse of Shopkeeper Liu?" ”

"Yes." Cao Judicial couldn't bear to say any more, "This murderer is very cruel, not to mention the dismemberment of the dead, and ......"

Xi Lingyue didn't listen to him, she had already walked straight to the corpse, and looked down to see that although the corpse under the straw mat was torn apart, it was faintly pieced together into a human form, and the rotten smell of the corpse and the fishy smell of the river water were floating in the air, which was disgusting.

Xilingyue held her breath, uncovered the corner of the straw mat, and saw the extremely terrifying head at a glance - it had been swollen and white by the river water, and what was even more outrageous was that the eyes on the skull had been gouged out, the nose and ears had been cut, and the mouth had been cut off...... The facial features have become several dark blood holes.

Xiling Yue suddenly closed her eyes, her hand shook, and the straw mat covered her head again. Seeing this, Cao Judicial hurriedly said: "Hey, the villain was trying to remind you to come, but I didn't expect you to be so fast." ”

Xi Lingyue suppressed her heart palpitations and chest tightness, and reluctantly spoke: "The corpse has become like this, how did they recognize that this is the shopkeeper Liu?" ”

Cao Zhengzheng pointed to his left arm: "Shopkeeper Liu has a tattoo on his arm, so the guys can recognize him." ”

"What tattoo?" Xilingyue was suddenly shocked in her heart, "Is it a sentence in the Preface to King Teng's Pavilion?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? Cao Judicial confirmed.

Xilingyue's voice trembled: "Is it ...... 'Taihuang pillow is at the turn of summer, and the guests and hosts enjoy the beauty of the southeast'?" ”

Cao Juran denied: "No, alas, I thought you knew which two sentences they were!" ”

However, Xilingyue's legs were weak, and she trembled and asked again: "Is it the two sentences 'Dongyu has passed away, and Sangyu is not too late'?" ”

Cao Judicial "hey" said: "That's right this time, it's these two sentences!" How did you guess that? ”

Xiling Yue didn't answer, and suddenly her face was as dead as ashes and she was emotional: "Let me see...... Where is it? Let me see! ”

Cao Zhengzheng was startled, and she didn't know why she was so scared, so she took out the broken and swollen left arm from under the straw mat, and pointed to the blurred small words on it for her to check: "You see, it is indeed 'the east corner is gone, and the mulberry is not too late'." The people of Rong Bao Pingzhai said that the shopkeeper Liu liked "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" the most during his lifetime, and said that these two sentences had the best meaning and inspired people to forge ahead, so they were stabbed on the arm. ”

Hearing this, Xi Lingyue's mind went blank, she stared at the two lines of small words on the mutilated arm, and kept trembling: "Quick, send me back!" I'm going back! Back to Mu Xian Yazhu! ”

When Xiling Yue returned to Mu Xian Yazhu again, it was almost dawn, and she hurriedly asked Xiao Guo to invite Li Chengxuan. Xiao Guo was worried that Mu Xianya Zhuli would have too many eyes and ears, so he suggested that she go to a guest house called "Ke Yuelai" in the city to meet Li Chengxuan and open a first-class room in the name of staying in the hotel.

Xilingyue was six gods and no owner at this time, thinking about it, and felt that this method was also safe, so he went to the guest house to ask for an upper room according to what Xiao Guo said.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Chengxuan and Xiao Guo came together, the former stepped into the door slowly, only to see that he was majestic and refreshed, and his black brocade robe made his figure even more tall and slender, which was in stark contrast to Xilingyue's anxious and haggard.
