The sketch of the woman published in the "Chang'an County Daily" that day was completely different from what Wei Chang saw that night, and it was the same as the woman Wang Qin who later participated in the autopsy.

It's no wonder why Qi Qi said it was very similar, but Wei Chang didn't feel like it.

"These two people's faces are narrow, and other than that, there is almost no resemblance," Wei Chang slammed the newspaper on the table and scolded angrily, "As a result, I thought it was her sketch more than ten years ago." I'm still sighing in my heart that women really can't look at them when they're old. Hey, do you think there will be two sketches on him? ”

"Unlikely, right? If there were two, they should be published in the newspaper. Qi Qi said uncertainly. However..., it would be nice to have a check, and it might be useful to see a detailed record of the deceased's belongings. ”

Wei Chang thought for a while and gave up and said, "We don't have the authority to directly access Jin Wuwei's inventory information, and we still need to trouble the instructor in this matter, and I don't think there is much chance of finding clues." ”

"If only we had considered this issue from the beginning, we could have determined the suspicion of Wang Tonghai and Wang Qin, and then arrested them on the spot. Also, it means that the enemy doesn't know you've seen the sketch. Qi Qi said with some annoyance: "If we could have determined these earlier, this round-up would not have been so careless." ”

"It's in the past, and it's useless to regret it." Wei Chang rubbed his nose and stood up, "Is the person who won the trust a man or a woman?" ”

"Female."

"How's it looking?"

"Chen Bao said he didn't see his face."

"What about the eyes? Do you see the eyes? ”

"Then you'll have to ask him."

Then Wei Chang found Chen Bao and asked about the characteristics of the woman at that time, Chen Bao said: "That woman is very fast, slender, and looks not very old." But I didn't see her face clearly. ”

"Think again, especially the eyes."

"I was ...... directly above her, and I could only see her black hat, but not her eyes." Chen Bao struggled to recall: "Later, I found her footprints on the ground, and her shoes were size 39. ”

Here is Chen Bao, there is only so much information to get.

It was getting late, Qi Qi went back to the house to sleep, Wei Chang sat on the bench outside, unconsciously pulled up a dogtail grass, and held it to his lips.

It's uncomfortable to feel that someone is going to kill themselves and they don't understand why.

"Why don't you sleep yet?"

Looking back, it was Qi Qi, neatly dressed, and she didn't take off her inner armor, it seemed that she had been thinking about this problem all the time, and she didn't plan to sleep at all.

He spat out the blades of grass and said, "If I don't understand this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." ”

"Actually, I think Tang Xian is very suspicious."

"I'm thinking about that, too, but we can't just question him."

"Maybe I have a way."

"What's the solution?"

"You said that he is a descendant of Tang Jian, right?"

"yes."

"If that's the case, I can go to his house for a few days."

"How many days are you going to stay at his house?"

"Our two families are actually related."

Wei Chang was a little confused, and said suspiciously: "In order to handle the case, the six relatives don't recognize it?" ”

"Heh," Qi Qi smiled bitterly: "Relatives among nobles, you may not understand." From the time of Gaozu, the aristocratic system of the Tang Dynasty, the princes and nobles in Chang'an City, carefully checked the family tree, and they were basically relatives. ”

"So your home is ......"

"I don't want to tell you yet."

"You think I'm a leaky person?"

"Nope."

"Then why don't you want to tell me?"

"Because you're a man who likes to laugh at people?"

"Is there anything in your family that I can laugh at?"

"Anyway, don't ask."

"Okay." Wei Chang didn't say anything anymore, and said in his heart: This girl is in a hurry to handle the case, not necessarily for the sake of my safety. Just as the bald instructor Shi Jinchong said, she should want to make meritorious service and then leave a name in front of the emperor. After all, she is the fifth bad girl student, if she can solve a beautiful case, not only give her a long face.

Thinking of this, Wei Chang restrained his expression and said, "Look for me at any time when you need me." Although the target they want to kill me is now, it is really a bit difficult for them to kill me. ”

"I also found out that you have a lot of life, and two sneak attacks can get you out of the way. If it were me, I would probably not be able to dodge these two arrows. Qi Qi said, turned around and left.

The next day, that is, on May 14, at the end of the day, Qi Qi came to Shi Jinchong, passed the approval, and returned home.

Yongxingfang, located on the east side of the imperial city, turn right at the gate of Fangshi and you can see a gold-topped red tile palace wall. People who can live in Yongxingfang are either rich or expensive, and Qi Qi's home is here.

As soon as she returned home, she saw her father, Qi Shuren.

Qi Shuren used to be a sacrificial wine from the Sanpin Guozi in the current dynasty, but due to political disagreements, he offended the emperor Li Heng of the current dynasty and was demoted to a pariah. Although he was demoted, the emperor did not confiscate his family property, so he still lived in the compound of his family's mansion.

The reason why Li Heng did not confiscate his property is actually well known to everyone.

The emperor cherished Qi Shuren's talent, and at the same time appreciated his integrity. Although there is a political disagreement, this person is not impossible. After the emperor's policy is implemented, if the social response is good, he will be recruited into the palace to be reprimanded, slapped in the face, and then activated when he is convinced.

But if His Majesty's policy fails, then the emperor has a reason to call him into the palace and reprimand him, scolding him for failing to make his objections clearer, which led to the failure of the emperor's policy, and then appoint him.

It's always the emperor who says the last sentence.

"Daddy!" Qi Qi was lying at the door, peeking at her father, and seeing that her father was concentrating on reading the newspaper, she suddenly jumped out from behind the door.

"Hey!" Sure enough, Qi Shuren was taken aback, pretending to be very angry, and said with a straight face: "Twenty-year-old people, they are still so naughty, what kind of system!" ”

was reprimanded, Qi Qi was not angry, and surrounded her father with a hippie smile and talked about her thoughts. At this time, Qi Shuren rubbed his chin and said, "It's not good for me to come forward with this kind of thing, but three days later, your uncle's second emperor will celebrate her birthday, and their family will probably go to celebrate her birthday at that time." ”

Qi Qi's aunt's name is Qi Xuan, the concubine of Li Yan, the king of Di, and Li Yan, the king of Di, is the fourth son of Li Longji, only one year younger than the emperor Li Heng of the current dynasty. The second emperor mother in Qi Shuren's mouth is Concubine Qian, the mother of Li Yan, the king of Di. was supposed to live in the palace, but Li Heng was kicked out on the grounds of cleaning up the harem, and only Yang Yuhuan was accompanying Li Longji at this time. And he didn't live in the imperial city, but in Xingqing Palace.

"Oh, I see, you mean to let me make friends with his family and then go to his house for a few more days?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the heir to the title of the Tang family is Tang Su, that is, the eldest brother of Tang Xian you just mentioned. The eldest lady of the Tang Su family died in childbirth, and Mrs. Xuxian was Qin Xiangxi after Hu Guogong. Qin Xiangxi gave birth to a son to Tang Su, and I can't remember what his name was. When the time comes, you can associate with Qin Xiangxi, well......" Qi Shuren thought for a while and said, "The daughter of your third grandfather's family is married to the Qin family, but ...... I really don't remember clearly, whether it has anything to do with Qin Xiangxi. ”

"Then let's look up the family tree."

"How can our family tree record the affairs of other people's families, go, don't mess around."

"Oh, well, I'll go to ...... in three days, forget it, I'll go to my aunt now."

"Hey, you come back for me!" Qi Shuren said with a straight face: "How can you go in and out of the Di Palace, you still stay at home, and when the time comes, let your mother take you there." ”

"Oh, okay."

I took a day off today, and I am afraid that it will be a waste of opportunity to go back to the academy like this, so Qi Qi carried a bag of tea leaves, ran to the neighbor's house, found Enshi Ouyang Ye, and offered the tea.

Ouyang Ye is nearly seventy years old, and he is one of the top three barristers in the current dynasty, serving as a consultant in Dali Temple and a training instructor for senior justices of Guozijian. Due to his advanced age, he was busy only one morning a day and then went home to rest.

"Master!" Qi Qi repeated his old trick and jumped directly into the old gentleman's house.

"Oh, you little thing, do you remember Master?" Ouyang Ye was startled at first, and then said with a smile on his face.

The old gentleman's beard was all white, and his face was full of kindness, which made people think of his sonorous and majestic appearance in the public court.

"Your favorite Shouzhou yellow bud!" Qi Qi sent the tea leaves, and then sat down mischievously beside the master, the chair legs in Ouyang Ye's house were super long, Qi Qi sat on it without touching the ground, she was so lively that she shook her feet like a little girl.

Ouyang Ye looked at Qi Qi, suddenly lowered his face and said, "How did I hear that you applied for the Bad People Academy?" Whose bad idea is this? ”

Qi Qi suddenly pouted, "It's my aunt's idea." ”

"Oh? Why did Princess Di let you go there? ”

"My aunt said, in our generation, there are only literati and no martial artists...... Qi Qi said some gossip to the teacher, and then shifted the topic to this case.

Ouyang Ye listened in detail, and then asked some questions, some of which Qi Qi knew, and some of which Qi Qi had not noticed.

In the end, Ouyang Ye took out a piece of paper, sketched on the paper, and related the few people who appeared this time, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Your thinking is right, this Tang Xian is indeed suspicious." Just now you said that you plan to make friends with his family through this royal mother's birthday, and then go to his house as a guest. Are you sure you won't be noticed by Tang Xian? If he really did this, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. ”

Seeing the master's concerned expression, Qi Qi felt a warm heart and said with a smile: "If this case is solved, maybe I can still see the emperor." When the time comes, I will intercede for my father and let His Majesty the Emperor restore his father's official position. ”

"Huh." Ouyang Ye smiled bitterly: "You think beautifully. However, I have a feeling that this case may not be as simple as you seem. Because I think the enemy is a little too fast. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I suspect that your appearance is not at the beginning of the story, but in the middle or even the end of a series of stories. Only at this time did the enemy worry most about the misfortune, so he did not hesitate to use assassination to eliminate Wei Chang. ”

"Looks like you think it's a case within a case."

"Yes, only by finding out the other party's true purpose can we understand their purpose of killing Wei Chang. You said just now that before the deceased died, he once said a sentence to Wei Chang, and that sentence is probably the key point. If you can decipher the secret of that sentence in advance, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"But we don't have the authority to check the information of the household department."

"Doesn't the Bad People Academy have permission?"

"Yes, but I'm the only one to check, it's too slow."

At this time, the old gentleman seemed to have insight into Qi Qi's purpose here, his lips pursed, and an unhappy sly smile crossed his eyes, "Little thing, I knew that you didn't have a trivial matter when you came to me." Do you want to borrow my token and go to the household department to inquire about that Sun Xinzi? ”

"Hey, hey."

"No way!"

"Oops, Master~~"

Qi Qi grinded hard, and finally said that he moved the master, but Ouyang Ye did not hand over the token to her, but sat in a sedan chair with Qi Qi and came to the household database.

There are so many volumes in the Household Library that they can be described as vast. Just one piece of information from Sun Xinzi, the household officials covered three small tables.

With the help of the officials, a total of 137 Sun Xinzi were found, including both men and women, and there were more than 40 Sun Xinzi in Chang'an City.

It was impossible for Qi Qi to investigate all these forty people, but she still logged on to the relevant information and decided to ask the classmates of the Bad People Academy to help.

Later, he said many auspicious words, coaxed the teacher to be happy, and said goodbye to the teacher.

Qi Qi ran to the East Palace again, and she couldn't enter the gate of the East Palace, so she ran to the head room of the head of the sect and found the martial arts master Zhen Badao. Zhen Badao is nearly fifty years old, and his temples are slightly white, but his figure is not old, his figure is tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a stiff face, and two eyes like two steel balls.

"Master!!"

"Hey, naughty thing, scare Master! Hahahaha, how can you be free today, come to Master? ”

"Master, this is Su Jin, which my sister likes, I don't have much money, I only bought it to make three clothes."

"Oh, three pieces of clothing are missing?" Zhen Badao was not polite, threw the brocade on the seat casually, and said, "How is it?" Are you still used to staying in the Bad People Academy? Has anyone bullied you? ”

"Nope!"

"Oh, that's good. Otherwise, the teacher must be angry for you. Zhen Badao looked at Qi Qi for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you think of the son I introduced to you last time?" ”

"Oh, Master, don't mention it." Qi Qi said dissatisfied: "How old am I, I don't want to get married." I didn't even look at that person. ”

"Oh, that's the son of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how can you treat me like this. And he is a popular man in front of the prince now. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, it will be a promising future. ”

After chatting with the master for a while, Qi Qi was coquettish again, and asked Zhen Badao to take her to the Jinwu Guard to obtain the details of the deceased Liu Ming. Through the information, Qi Qi was sure that Liu Ming was indeed not injured in a fight, and he only had a sketch portrait on him.

Qi Qi was busy for a day, but at this time Wei Chang was stuffy in the house, looking at a letter, the letter turned out to be mailed by his father from home, the content of the letter was: Luoyang Weiwu Dart Bureau recruits dart heads, I heard that General Cen Yun introduced, saying that General Wei is not in a good situation now, and he is specially invited to serve, with a monthly salary of 100 silver, and another reward for each dart. Judging from the annual income of other current dart masters, the dart remuneration is not below the monthly salary. Hope the public will come quickly.

The conditions on this letter are very tempting, and they are introduced by the old boss Cen Yun......

But he thought about it, and suddenly felt that this was a trap, if he left Chang'an and went to Luoyang, I am afraid that he would have to be killed along the way. Along the way, the Assassin had too many opportunities to attack, and he couldn't risk his own life.

These were not the things that worried him the most, since the enemy could mail the letter to his home, this in itself was a kind of intimidation, and it was also timidity to do things on his own in the future.

"Sect Leader." Wei Chang came to Shi Jintong and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Shi Jinchong fell on the bed on all fours, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"The disciple has a reluctant request."

"Speak."

"I want to bring my parents to the academy for protection."

"Oh?" Shi Jin sat up and said, "What? Did the other party start harassing your parents? ”

At this time, Wei Chang took out the letter and told Shi Jinchong his thoughts. Later, Shi Jinchong sent someone to pick up Wei Chang's parents and place them in the empty room of the college.

After arranging his parents, he returned to the dormitory, but saw Li Xian lying on the bed with a blue nose and a swollen face, sighing.

Tang Hu walked around angrily, and Chen Bao read a book, silent.

Wei Chang walked up to Li Xian, looked at Li Xian's face carefully, and said in surprise: "Fourth, how did you get this face?" ”

Li Xian waved his hand, not wanting to speak.

"Look, I'm too embarrassed to say it." Tang Hu said loudly: "He let Lai Dabiao beat him!" I wanted to avenge him, but he wouldn't let me go. ”

"Oh, third brother." Li Xian sat up anxiously and said, "There are rules in the academy that challenges can be held between bad people. If you lose the challenge, you are not allowed to retaliate for ten days, and you are not ignorant. ”

"Rules are dead, people are alive. Besides, that kid is too ruthless, is this going to be beaten to death? Tang Hu was so angry that he strode around the house, staring at a pair of tiger eyes, walking back and forth, panting heavily, like a beast trapped in a cage.

"Why did he challenge you?" Wei Chang said in a deep voice.

"No why." Li Xian said without looking up.

"Don't and pretend to be a good man if you lose." Wei Chang took out a few mint leaves and handed them to everyone, "This challenge, on the surface, is the tradition of bad people, and it is a means to vent anger for everyone. But the problem is that he relies on Da Biaozi to challenge you, which is obviously bullying. ”

"Yes!" Tang Hu said: "Lao Wei is right, the gap between the two of you is too big, and he beats you like this, it is obvious that he is bullying you." His grandmother's, the person who bullied our dormitory, bullied me. No, I'm going to go to him now. Don't give me a soft face, see if I don't shoot him to death a dog brewed! ”

As he spoke, Tang Hu became more and more angry, and rushed out with a horizontal knife.

Wei Chang and Chen Bao hurriedly chased out and grabbed Tang Hu's arm.

Wei Chang glared and said, "If you want to go, you can't go by yourself, and besides, you put down your weapon for me!" ”
