Chapter 142: Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea

Hu Shilang also lived up to Chen Zhiming's expectations, and searched the East Palace carefully and clearly, and he was unwilling to let go of even a corner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Your Excellency, please see." Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, a soldier excitedly handed the arrow in his hand to him.

Hu Shilang took the arrow from his hand, the arrow and the part close to the arrow were a little black, at first glance it was a special rocket, leaning over and smelling it, there seemed to be some blood in the burning smell.

He walked quickly in front of Liu Yan and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what is this?" ”

Liu Yan only glanced at it, then looked away, and said lightly: "What? It's just a rocket, what's all the fuss? ”

"This is not an ordinary rocket, I guess this is the rocket that stabbed the murderer's right arm that day, and it fell near the palace wall, presumably the murderer must have climbed over the wall and mixed into the East Palace." Hu Shilang's eyes were shining, and he reasoned step by step.

"Hu Shilang, I see you, you want to catch the murderer and go crazy." Lu Zhi looked at him like a madman, and whispered a few words in the ear of the soldier beside him, who hurried away, and returned with the arrow in his hand in a few moments.

Lu Zhi threw the arrow held by the soldier in front of Hu Shilang, and sneered: "Look, in the East Palace, there are more and more such arrows, Hu Shilang is just lucky to pick up one, so he can infer in vain, I think Hu Shilang is also in vain." ”

Hu Shilang secretly cut off the arrow in his hand, his eyes tightened, and he suddenly smiled: "By the way, I remembered that the murderer's right arm was wounded by an arrow, this arrow can't prove anything, the wound can't be healed overnight, it's better to gather everyone in the East Palace, I will personally go to inspect it, one by one, presumably the murderer must have nowhere to escape." ”

Lu Zhi's eyelids jumped, and his heart immediately panicked, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Yan, Liu Yan also hesitated in his eyes, and paused and said, "Father asked you to search the East Palace." It's for you to find out if the murderer is hiding in my East Palace, not for you to make trouble, if you gather everyone and check them one by one. The order of my East Palace is going to be disrupted by you. ”

"What is Your Highness panicking about? There are so many people in the East Palace, if the murderer is mixed in with the soldiers, eunuchs and even palace maids, it is a matter of last resort, it is always a good thing to be careful, if His Royal Highness is unwilling. That's it. I had no choice but to go back and ask the emperor, and I came back after the emperor's will. Hu Shilang saw Liu Yan's somewhat uneasy expression, and his words were a little proud.

Liu Yan naturally knew that he went to ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor would definitely agree, so he had to grit his teeth and say after hesitation: "Lu Zhi, you go and gather the soldiers, and all go to the Taiheyuan." The palace maids and eunuchs all stayed in their palace gates, and they were not allowed to enter or leave a single step. ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Hu Shilang hatefully, turned around angrily, but was very uneasy in his heart. His right arm was indeed injured, and if he checked it one by one, he would find himself sooner or later, and after thinking about it, he thought of running away.

A hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and Lu Zhi turned back in fright and said, "Who?!" ”

Seeing that it was Liu Zhengsheng, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Zhengsheng looked around, and whispered to him: "The matter has come to this, I can only take one step at a time." You remember, you must not run away, and if you run away, you will tell everyone. You are the murderer, and you can't say anything about this injustice. ”

"So what do I do? Hu Du will definitely not let go of any suspicious person, and he is bound to investigate the East Palace. Lu Zhi was very scared, not because he was afraid that he would be arrested, but because he was afraid that the East Palace behind him would be implicated.

Liu Zhengsheng beckoned to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Lu Zhi listened, although his frowning brows did not relax, but the tense muscles gradually relaxed, and after listening, he had to say helplessly: "It's the only way, let it be fate." ”

"By the way, sir? There was such a big commotion in the East Palace, and he didn't come out to take a look? Liu Zhengsheng asked the question that had been held in his heart for a long time.

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "He hasn't come back yet, and the coachman who went with him hasn't returned for a long time, so I don't know where he went." ”

After speaking, he strode away and gathered the soldiers according to Liu Yan's instructions.

The soldiers grabbed their cuffs and walked in front of Hu Du one by one, Hu Du also looked very carefully, and he still had to look at the arms that looked like they didn't have a trace of scars.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers in line, seeing that there are only a few soldiers left in the long queue at this moment, Liu Zhengsheng and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, Lu Zhi nodded slightly, and motioned to the soldiers in the distance to act.

After Hu Du checked the arm of the last soldier, he seemed to be a little unwilling, paused and said, "Could it be that I remembered wrongly?" Is it the left hand that hurts and not the right one? ”

Liu Yandeng said angrily: "Ridiculous! Do you want to do it again? Are you kidding me? So many people have seen that it is the right hand, are those people's eyes as blind as you? ”

Hu Du was scolded by him a little untouchable, his eyes were on Lu Zhi, he felt very familiar, and couldn't help but say: "I see that this personal soldier next to His Highness is a little similar to the murderer I saw last night, I don't know if it's okay, let him also roll up his sleeves and show it to the lower officials?" ”

Liu Yan gasped heavily because of anger, not only could not calm down at the moment, but became heavier and heavier, in the end, he still found him, and when he didn't know how to deal with it, the two of them suddenly ran into the courtyard.

"My lord, I have checked all the eunuchs, and there are no scars on their arms. ”

The other man was out of breath and couldn't slow down at all, and it was obvious that he was running very fast, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "No...... Oh no......"

Hu Du's face changed suddenly, and he came to him with a smile on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?" Say it quickly! ”

"No...... Guan Ju Palace...... Beat...... Fights are up......"

After Liu Yan heard what he said, he was the first to react, and hurriedly rushed to Guan Ju Palace with the people around him, Hu Du hurriedly stepped up his steps to follow, and did not forget to ask the man: "What happened to Guan Ju Palace?" Did you find the murderer? ”

"Yes...... It was Sister Qiao who had to check the crown princess and a female doctor in the palace, and was beaten by a woman with strong martial arts. ”

Because of the difference between men and women, all the palace maids in the palace were personally inspected by Sister Qiao, who was a daughter, and this Sister Qiao was an orphan taken in by Chen Que many years ago, and she has been learning to investigate cases with Chen Que, and she is also a heroine among women.

Before Liu Yan entered the courtyard, a person screamed and flew towards him, Lu Zhi hurriedly stopped in front of Liu Yan, grabbed the man's arm with both hands, and put him firmly on the ground, the man was shocked and thanked him again and again.

I saw that in the courtyard, the people of the East Palace and the people of the Si Xing Temple were already fighting in one place, Ruoyu was fighting with a woman in men's clothes, and I thought it was Sister Qiao.

"Stop it!" Liu Yan shouted to stop, and the others finally stopped, and then quickly walked two steps in front of Ruoyu and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This shrew, even the crown princess wants to check, what kind of identity does the crown princess allow her to check? There is also Dr. Sun, she is a distinguished guest invited by His Royal Highness, so didn't she snub the distinguished guest and spread it out to make the world laugh? Ruoyu saw that the person who was suppressed by himself still wanted to break free, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase another point.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, let this girl go." Hu Du said very anxiously, seeing that Liu Yan was indifferent, he said, "Is it Sister Qiao, it's her short-sightedness, but for the sake of her dedicated to investigating the case, His Royal Highness let this girl let her go." ”

Liu Yan waved his hand slightly, signaled Ruoyu to let go, and then turned to Hu Du and said: "Your subordinates are too ignorant, do you think that everyone in the East Palace can be touched?" I think you've checked it almost today, so go back and get back to your life. ”

"Prince...... His Royal Highness the Prince," Hu Du glanced at the chaotic situation in front of him with great embarrassment, and couldn't help but say, "After I finish checking the last one, I will leave, it is this personal soldier beside His Highness." ”

"Do you still think my East Palace is not messy enough? You also saw it just now, Lu Zhi rescued the man who flew over, if he was injured in the arm, how could he easily save him? If you insist on making trouble with my East Palace, then don't blame me for being unkind. Liu Yan almost roared at these words.

Hu Du's face was very ugly, and he knew that what he said was true, but it was too ...... to leave empty-handed like this

At the right time, the soldiers on the side suddenly came to his ear and said a few words, Hu Du's eyes tightened, and he smiled a little proudly, stepped forward, and asked meaningfully: "Dare to ask Your Highness, where is Chu Shenxia?" ”

Liu Yan saw that he asked Chu Shenxia, and there was such an expression on his face, and he said in surprise: "What does this matter to him?" In fact, he left the East Palace early in the morning to see his mother and has not returned to this day. ”

"No, it is precisely because he is not there that he looks suspicious, not to mention that he is extraordinary, and it is very likely that he is the murderer of Lord Chen, I don't think His Highness should hide his whereabouts, and I will know the truth when I check his arm." Hu Du was quite determined.

Liu Yan knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Shenxia at all, and he didn't intend to explain it for him at the moment, so he said according to Hu Du's meaning: "Since that's the case, then it's up to you, but I don't know when he will come back, and I don't know where his mother lives." ”

When Hu Du heard him say this, he immediately felt that Chu Shenxia was undoubtedly fleeing, and said with a fierce gaze: "This person must be suspicious, if he returns to the East Palace, I hope His Royal Highness will send someone to inform me." ”

"Okay." Liu Yan only replied lightly with a good word, and then put on a send-off appearance.

Chen Zhiming, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, saw Hu Du walking towards the palace gate with people, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?" ”

"It was not found in the East Palace." Seeing that Chen Zhiming was a little disappointed, Hu Du smiled slightly and said, "However, I have roughly guessed the murderer, and this person is Chu Shenxia who is currently fleeing from the East Palace. ”
