Chapter 296: Undercurrent Surging (3)
On the night of mid-March, several men in the princess's mansion were very drunk, sitting around the playground outside the bamboo forest, chatting and entertaining.
"Zhao Zheng, now that you are the master of things, you have to be careful, don't be like Li En, being sunk in the ditch!"
The speaker was wearing armor, and it seemed that he was a chief of guard in the princess's mansion, and at this time they were on vacation, and the black armor army was patrolling the mansion, so naturally there was nothing to do with him.
And sitting directly opposite him was Zhao Zheng, the newly appointed head of things by Yu Chaoen, who was drunk at the moment, and when he heard this unlucky sentence, he laughed sneeringly.
"Tomorrow I will go to the West Market to buy some food, you can't wait for me to have an accident, anyway, I used to be your subordinate, a former soldier of the Longwu Army, alas, it's a pity that Li En's guy was killed!"
The person next to him patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder, hoping that he would not be sad.
And the chief of the guard was comforting, "The princess ordered an all-out search, I heard that there was also a big incident on the side of Anle Fang, and it was because of Li En's matter that the bad people launched a strict investigation in the whole city!" ”
"Hey, when I leave the house tomorrow, I'll go to the street to inquire about the news, don't worry about it this time, Sergeant Black Armor and General Ji will follow me, so don't worry!"
Hearing these words, all of them cheered up a little, drank a few glasses together, cleaned up the dishes and wine jars on the stone table, walked towards the ear room of the former mansion, and dispersed at the intersection of the small stone road.
The next day, Zhao Zheng drove the purchased chariot and horse, all the way around Qujiang Pond, entered from Mingde Gate, turned to Yong'an Canal, went up along the ditch, and went to Xishi, when he passed a stone bridge, he deliberately stayed his gaze for a moment, this is the place where Li En died.
They used to be the soldiers of the Long Wu Army, and now the Long Wu Army has long since dispersed and is working in the princess's mansion, but it is a pity that this friend has left, and a little sadness flashed in his heart, and he cared more about what the bad guys found and whether they caught the thief who killed Li En.
When he came to Xishi, it was already early in the morning, and Zhao Zheng came and went with dozens of black armor soldiers, walking around, and buying some food and forage.
It's just that he saw an unfamiliar face here in the forage workshop, with a faint scar on his face, and he didn't care too much, Zhao Zheng just asked people to stuff the forage into the carriage, and then stopped paying attention.
After everything was purchased, Zhao Zheng and Ji Xiao had lunch in the restaurant, and everything returned to the princess's mansion smoothly.
Coming to the storage warehouse in the kitchen of the princess's mansion and unloading all the goods, Zhao Zheng said thank you to several black-armored sergeants, wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the sun that had not yet set, and began to count the account books according to the list of goods to see if there were any omissions.
In the storage warehouse, Zhao Zheng counted one by one, slowly deepened, and when he was sure, he found that a box had opened on its own, a little inexplicable, what it was, why it was opened, just open it, it was empty.
After checking the account books one by one, Zhao Zhengcai remembered that this was the broken forage prepared for horses, cattle and sheep to eat, and there were two bags of forage missing in it.
Opening means that someone has mixed into the princess's mansion, Zhao Zheng was full of excitement, straightened up like lightning, and before he could shout, he was attacked by a black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next morning, the horse material workshop in the West Market had been completely blocked by the bad guys, and the nails and the bad guys came to a room together.
There was blood inside, and the four guys were already in different places, and blood splattered on the walls, outlining extremely strange patterns.
"You're the shopkeeper of the horse feed workshop?" Zhang Heng stepped forward to inspect the corpse, and it could be confirmed that he was killed in an unguarded situation.
"Yes, they have only recently entered the workshop to grind hay, and the scheduled time is at night, and they are resting during the day!" The shopkeeper of the horse shop said in a panic, he was actually a little scared in his heart, after all, it was out of his own territory, and it was four lives, and now in the face of bad handsomeness, a sense of pressure came to his face.
"I see!"
After saying this, Zhang Heng checked around the house, and found that there was a half-missing footprint at the window, pushed open the window, and the light came in, Zhang Heng found that there was only one footprint that went out, not one that came in, that is to say, there was another person between them, and that person was the murderer, the Tubo people were infighting? No way.
Zhang Heng noticed the nail's gaze, so he looked over and found that the other party seemed to have found a cabinet with messy papers, and the nail seemed to put them together.
"What is this?"
Zhang Heng, who walked in to see, showed a puzzled gaze, and couldn't see anything on these overlapping sheets of paper.
"It's a map, I just don't know where it's marked?"
The nails pinch up the pieces of paper, and then face them smoothly to the sun, and the lines inside are vaguely outlined, which is exactly the structure of a place.
Zhang Heng looked left and right, feeling a little familiar, and quickly reacted, "Princess Mansion!" ”
"Princess's Mansion? I haven't been to the Princess's Mansion and am not familiar with the Princess's Mansion! If it's the Princess's Mansion, then everything makes sense! ”
Nail heard Zhang Heng's soft call, and instantly straightened out his thoughts.
Zhang Heng no longer paid attention to how these Tubo people died, but grasped the key point and began to narrate, "Li En was captured by the Tubo people, and their purpose was for this map, so Li En's body was full of various scars, and the place where they hid was the Jingjiao dry well in Anle Fang, and the Tubo warriors, as assassins, should have planned to sneak into the princess's mansion to assassinate, but they were finally discovered by us." And the family that died in Anlefang should be a short-term hiding place for the Tubo people, and the killing of their family may be because their house is closer to the door of the fang and it is convenient to observe the surrounding situation! ”
"But I still can't explain why these four Tibetans died?" The nail put down the paper in his hand and followed Zhang Heng's steps to go out.
The shopkeeper of the horse feed workshop, who was standing next to him, was a little confused, and he only knew that the recent rumors in Chang'an were very close, and it seemed that some Tubo people had entered the city to make trouble.
Hearing the nail's doubts, Zhang Heng remembered an incident that happened in Weishui last year, the headless corpse, the assassin of the Tenth League attempted to assassinate the princess, he turned back coldly, passed the frightened shopkeeper, and returned to the four corpses, and saw the neat wounds.
"It's not good, the deaths of these four Tubo people are likely to be related to the Tenth Alliance, and the assassins of the Tenth Alliance seem to have a guy named Liuying, who is the senior brother of Quicksand!"
Nail didn't quite understand, she hadn't been in contact with the incident in Weishui, and when she saw the bad handsome's face, she vaguely guessed.
"The princess is in danger?"
"Yes, let's hurry to the princess's mansion!"
