Before the next day, Qu Tutong and Yu Juluo rushed to the Jin Palace, together with twenty soldiers, to report the arrival to Yang Guang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Guang saw that He Chou had not arrived, so he ordered Xian Yuluo to call the two forbidden army generals into the main hall for questioning.

Qu Tutong got a report from the sergeant who stayed in the stone house courtyard last night, saying that the king of Jin went to the stone house courtyard in person, and he and General Yu took a group of sergeants to rummage inside and out of the stone house courtyard, and they didn't know what they were looking for. Because when Dou Rong explained to Qu Tutong about the mission to investigate the case, he said very clearly: King Jin is young, and Qu Tutong is responsible for the facts of the investigation. When Dou Rongding was transferred to Luozhou as the chief manager, the crown prince Yang Yong took over the palace guard, and naturally succeeded Dou Rongding as Qu Tutong's new boss. Now that the King of Jin is directly involved in the investigation of the case, Qu Tutong did not dare to be a little snub after hearing the news, and took the initiative to come with Yujuluo today and ask Yang Guang in person.

However, Yang Guang didn't give Qu Tutong a chance to open his mouth to inquire about the case, and when he saw him, he asked: "General Qu, this king asks you, on the second day of the investigation of the Stone House Courtyard, you, me, and General Yu, when the three of us took Empress Sima and Wei Chi Fanglin into the palace to meet our father and report the case, did we leave a sergeant to guard the Stone House Courtyard?" ”

It turned out that Yang Guang listened to Wang Shichong and He Chou introduce the origin and structural characteristics of the stone house in detail last night, and after returning to the dormitory, he couldn't sleep for a long time, and went through what happened during the day in his heart, and found the two places that he thought were the key: the first is that although An Ruoxi hinted to himself that it was difficult for the real murderer to hide in Wanshanni Temple, he remembered very well that Qu Tutong led the sergeant from the secret passage of the stone house courtyard that night and did not chase Hua Gu and the others, and came back to report to himself that there were indeed traces and breath of someone running in the secret passage, In other words, some people did escape from the secret passage that night, but it is not known where they hid after leaving the secret passage;

The second place is that even if it is true as he deduced, Hua Gu did not escape from the secret passage that night, but first hid in a secret room that has not yet been discovered, and left the Stone House Courtyard after his precautions were relaxed, so according to the time calculation, the time when Hua Gu left the Stone House Courtyard was most likely to be during the day of the next day, because at that time, he and Qu Tutong and Yu Juluo escorted Sima Luo and Yu Chi Fanglin into the palace, and the sergeant Qu Tutong brought to check the Stone House Courtyard in the middle of the night and the Qianniu sergeant led by Li Yuan before added up to less than 100 people. These nearly 100 sergeants had to guard the more than 100 pleasure seekers and the girls in the stone house who were imprisoned in the upper room of the backyard, and also interrogate these people one by one and record confessions.

It was with these two points in mind that Yang Guang asked him a very urgent question as soon as he saw Qu Tutong today.

Qu Tutong's face turned red, and he replied with a fist at Yang Guang: "It was also that the end of the day was in a hurry, and he did not explain to the soldiers who stayed in the stone house courtyard, and asked them to continue to guard the various entry and exit paths of the stone house courtyard. After the general returned to the Great Solemn Temple, he also considered that it was very inappropriate for the stone house to be left behind, but he regretted that the soldiers under his command were too tired, so he did not send someone to the stone house to guard that night. This matter is all caused by the last general, please punish the prince severely. ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he lowered his head and silently calculated in his heart: from the time the sergeants led more than 100 people from the Stone House Courtyard to leave until the next day, after dawn, Qu Tu Tong sent people to the Stone House Courtyard to be on duty, during which there was almost a whole day, which was enough for Hua Gu to come out of the secret room and fly away calmly.

"But Lord Wang, even if someone really hides in the dark at night and doesn't leave until after dawn the next day, she probably won't be able to run far." Qu Tutong raised his head, looked at Yang Guang, and reminded him, "Soon after the last general entered the palace with the prince, the emperor passed down an edict and ordered the Jingzhao Yamen to dispatch people and horses to block the main roads in Chang'an City. ”

"Well, you mean that even if Hua Gu leaves the Stone House Courtyard after dawn the next day, she won't be able to go far, and most of the time she will still be hiding near the West Market?" From Qu Tutong's words, Yang Guang naturally came to a conclusion.

"General Qu, this king is thinking, although you have filled in the exit from the stone house to the Wanshanni Temple, you still can't relax the search near the Wanshanni Temple. In this way, you should rush back to the Great Solemn Temple now, take all your men and horses, and immediately go to the Wanshanni Temple, and strictly check all the homes and places where people can hide within five miles of the temple, so as to be prepared. Yang Guang didn't want Qu Tutong to participate in today's clearance operation, and wanted to send him away as soon as possible before He Chou came.

"But the prince, the prince's side ......" Qu Tutong didn't have time to ask Yang Guang a word, he was sent away, and he was reluctant for a while, and hesitantly reminded Yang Guangdao.

"The eldest brother assists his father and the emperor to participate in the government affairs, and there are many court affairs that need to be dealt with every day. When the facts of the case are clear, it is not too late for you to report to him. Yang Guang knew what Qu Tutong wanted to say, but he deliberately moved out his identity as the chief investigator to gag him.

As soon as Qu Tutong arrived at the Jin Palace's mansion today, he was exposed by Yang Guang in front of Yu Juluo, and he didn't dare to say a word at this time, so he had to hold his fists and take the order, and he was unwilling to be ordered to go on an errand.

Qu Tutong walked for about a quarter of an hour before the sergeant guarding the gate of the mansion came to report to Yang Guangyu that there was an official surnamed He who claimed to be the supervisor of the Shaofu who had asked to see the prince outside the gate of the mansion.

This He Chou, who followed him on an errand for the first time, was so unpunctual, most of the time, like Wang Shichong, he was a person who could not be counted on in the future. Yang Guang was quite unhappy with He Choushan's late arrival, and he didn't even appreciate the word "please", but only said "pass" with a gloomy face.

However, as soon as He Chou just walked into the main hall, the first thing that caught Yang Guang's eye was his bloodshot eyes. Seeing that He Chou came as promised, still with a tired face, Yang Guang was angry in his heart, smiled coldly, and asked, "He ordered me to sleep for a few hours last night, but I came quite early?" ”

He Chou has always been good at words, although he has sniffed out from Yang Guang's questioning that he is dissatisfied with his late arrival, but he did not argue for himself, only bowed to Yang Guang and apologized: "The lower official is late for some reason, please forgive me." Lord, can I leave now? (To be continued.) )
