In the wing room of the Li Mansion, Li Rong specially ordered the housekeeper to vacate it as a place for everyone to investigate the case.

On the wall is hung a cloth man, on which the geographical map of Luoyang City is drawn, indicating the names of various cities and streets in Luoyang, and some famous temples and residences of princes and nobles are also clearly marked on it.

"Ziyun Pavilion, April 30th, from midnight to noon, Yichun Courtyard, on the eighth day of the fifth month, from Shen to Youshi," pieces of paper with ink characters written on them were pasted in the corresponding positions on the cloth man.

"The information we can verify and verify is that Zheng Lianshan goes to the Qinglou once every seven or eight days, each time for about two or three hours, and the number of appearances of the old man in Tsing Yi is equivalent to this, which can confirm that the old man in Tsing Yi has a great relationship with Zheng Lianshan's death." Li Rong said.

"I once followed the adult, I have seen the background of the old man in Tsing Yi, but he is very slippery, and the martial arts are skillful, I am not an opponent, and then I persuaded the adult not to go to the Qinglou again, the adult reprimanded me, and the matter was delayed, so that it caused a tragedy." Zheng Lianshan nodded and said, "This old man in Tsing Yi is probably the culprit." ”

"The old man in Tsing Yi is about five feet six inches tall, with black hair and a short beard," Li Rong said, "He is skilled in martial arts, he is good at hiding and concealing traces, and he is suspected of wearing makeup." ”

"This old man in Tsing Yi has repeatedly appeared in the brothel of the Qinglou, and it is estimated that those people in the Qinglou should know his details," Dong Xuanjing said beside him, "But every time we ask, they don't say, it must be a little boring." ”

"It's hard to say, the old man in Tsing Yi should have a clever disguise technique, and every time he appears with a different face, the people in the Qinglou don't want to care about it." Li Rong said, "I will send someone to secretly investigate the identity of the old man in Tsing Yi, and I have to go there in Yichun Courtyard, so it is very likely that I will know some news that we don't know." ”

"My lord, let's investigate this case thoroughly, how do you explain it to Lord Changshi, do you need to report it to him?" Dong Xuanjing said suddenly.

Originally, Li Rong and the others received the task thinking that they came here just to go through the motions, and they could go back and report the cause of Zheng Lianshan's death directly, so they thought that they would pull out a big case of leaking military information, so what would they say when they went to Yuan Xingchong?

"Lord Changshi won't stop us from investigating the case, maybe that's what he wants to see," Li Rong shook his head and said.

Yuan Xingchong is the experience of the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, and he must be happy to see the people of the Kwantung Hao clan led by the five surnames and seven families commit a big case, and then approach them to submit to Wu Zetian, so if Zheng Lianshan really leaks the military information and is verified to be true, Yuan Xingchong will probably give Li Rong a big reward with a smile.

**Fang Zai smiled wryly beside him, he followed Zheng Lianshan through officialdom for a long time, and he understood the powerful relationship, only out of the consideration of finding out the real murderer behind the scenes, he would cooperate with Li Rong to investigate the case.

"Why do I always feel like I'm missing something?" Li Rong didn't go any further, turned his head to look at the cloth man covered with pieces of paper, and said to himself.

"My lord, we asked the prostitutes who waited for Lord Zheng in Yichun Courtyard, as well as those from Ziyun Pavilion, and these people all mentioned that Lord Zheng had drunk wine, is there a problem with this wine," Fang said.

"What Yoshikata said makes sense, I almost forgot. Let's go to Yichun Courtyard and see what kind of wine Master Zheng is drinking? Li Rong decided.

Li Rong had speculated before whether Zheng Lianshan had taken aphrodisiacs in order to make him even a royal woman, but now that he thinks about it, there must be something wrong with the wine he drinks.

Li Rong took Dong Xuanjing, ** and five thousand knights rode straight to Yichun Courtyard.

The servants at the door didn't dare to stop them when they saw it, Li Rong and others broke into the courtyard directly, called ** Hua Chunrong and Chunjiao, and Qiu Yun asked Zheng Lianshan again about the scene on the day of the accident.

"The concubine does have the impression that Master Zheng has just drunk wine, and there are wine glasses on the table. But these days have passed, and the wine glass has long been cleaned. Qiu Yun said.

"Put the cleaned glasses there, collect them all, and look at them all for later." Li Rong said.

"Li Gongzi, the wine vessels in each private room in the building are specially customized, only for private rooms, other private rooms cannot be mixed, and the concubine will take Gongzi to the Autumn Rain Pavilion." Hua Chunrong hurriedly said.

It happened that there was no one in the private room of the Qiuyu Pavilion today, and Hua Chunrong walked in with everyone.

"The last time Lord Zheng came to Yichun Courtyard was in the Autumn Rain Pavilion." Hua Chunrong said.

The furnishings of the private room are similar to those of the downstairs private rooms that Li Rong has seen, but the utensils are more ornate and luxurious.

Push the door and enter into the eyes is the wide bed, carved with exquisite ornamentation, on one side of the couch stacked a bed of brocade quilt, gold and silver threads are very dazzling, the middle of the desk is the same, goose yellow curtains are tied up on both sides, the shelf on the side of the bed is placed hollow Boshan incense burner, there is still a little smoke, so that the whole room exudes a faint fragrance, everything looks luxurious and fragrant.

"My lord, this is the wine utensils in the Autumn Rain Pavilion." Chunjiao, after Qiu Yun came in, she hurriedly took all the wine utensils in the compartment and put them on the table.

Li Rong came to the table and reached out to pick up the wine glass.

The wine glass is lotus-like, crystal like jade, and it is printed with "autumn rain sycamore, falling red full of steps" eight official books.

"The porcelain used in Yichun Courtyard is all ordered by my master from Xingzhou, which is unique in Luoyang Qinglou, and no one can compare." Hua Chunrong said proudly.

The Bai family has been running the Qinglou business for many years, and the design of the courtyard building, the utensils used, and the training of personnel are not comparable to ordinary people, and they are definitely the leaders in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Rong raised the wine glass and put it between his nose, took a deep breath, and smelled the breath inside.

Although the glass has been cleaned, it still has a faint smell of wine.

"What is served in the private room?" Li Rong asked.

The residual taste of wine in the cup seems to be the Cave Spring, and the wine stored in Li Rong's house is the Cave Spring that has been treasured for decades, and it was moved to the thousands of knights to drink, and they all praised it, and they all praised it, and regarded the best wine they had ever drunk, of course, it was really nothing to Li Rong.

"It's really Xingyang Cave Spring, and it's all aged wine that has been stored for more than five years," Hua Chunrong said.

Xingyang famous wine cave is famous in spring, it is a first-class wine of the Tang Dynasty, with a unique taste, soft taste, and a long aftertaste, which is very popular, and the largest wineries are the Zheng family's industry, and the wealthy also need financial support.

Li Rong picked up the second wine glass without saying a word, sniffed it lightly, and frowned.

"It's this cup, and the breath seems to be a little strange." Li Rong thought to himself.

The other wine glasses, wine jugs, Li Rong identified them one by one, and only found that one of them was a little different.

"It is estimated that the contents of this cup were brought by the old man in Tsing Yi, which is different from the wine offered in the courtyard." Li Rong said in his heart.

"Take all these drinking utensils away," Li Rong commanded.

Several thousand knights came over and carefully picked up the wine glass, and the wine pot followed Li Rong out of Yichun Courtyard and back to the Li Mansion.

In Luoyang City at night, the stars hang on the upside-down black curtain, and the starlight flickers like an eye indifferently looking at the love, hatred, hatred, and power of the people on the ground.

Lu Ziluan's figure flashed on the roofs of the continuous houses, and with a light step, he jumped over the courtyards and walls, and came to Jishanfang in less than a while.

Standing on the top of an attic, Lu Ziluan looked around, determined where the target was, and jumped down the attic like a flying swallow towards an inconspicuous courtyard in Jishanfang.

"Smack", Lu Ziluan imprinted a palm on the gate in the air, smashing the gate made of thick wood into pieces, and sawdust flew wildly.

"Who?" The people in the courtyard reacted quickly and rushed over and shouted.

Lu Ziluan was like a tiger entering the wolves, his palms flew up, and one after another true qi accompanied by the palm shadow struck neatly on the people in green clothes, and one after another figures spurted blood from their mouths and fell out of the way a few steps away, and in an instant, more than ten people who pounced on them all fell in the courtyard, silent, and were shocked to death by Lu Ziluan.

"Lu Ziluan, you actually broke into my territory to kill people, looking for death!" Li Ruoxue hurriedly ran out of the backyard in a brocade dress and saw Lu Ziluan with a murderous aura, and she was so angry that she was flue.

The fallen Tsing Yi people are all elite warriors trained by her, and the good hands in the rivers and lakes who can enter the product are not much stronger than the sergeants in the army, but they are all destroyed in the hands of Lu Ziluan. Of course, these people are called elites, but for ordinary soldiers, it is not enough to face an innate grandmaster like Lu Ziluan.

"Li Ruoxue, Senior Brother Li Hui is afraid of you and hides it for you, I am not afraid, I will fight for my husband!" Lu Ziluan shouted, ravaged up, and pounced.

Lotus flower-like energy bloomed in the air, enveloping Li Ruoxue overwhelmingly, and the air around him seemed to condense, making people unable to dodge the attack directly.

"Crazy woman, why should I move your man?" Li Ruoxue listened to the airway.

Lu Ziluan's name, she has heard and seen. The two are not much different in age, they are both the most talented women in martial arts more than ten years ago, and they even have a faint competitive and hostile relationship with each other, but there is no real hatred, I didn't expect Lu Ziluan to kill now.

"Golden Snake Dance," brocade sleeves embroidered with gold threads flew in the air, swinging out whip-like true qi, blocking Lu Ziluan's lotus true qi without letting go.

Li Ruoxue is an eight-grade grandmaster on the "Heavenly List", and she has reached the micro realm, which is better than Lu Ziluan.

"My husband is Zheng Lianshan of the Zheng family, do you dare to say that it was not your snake spirit who forced him to commit suicide?" Lu Ziluan shouted angrily.

As the palms and fingers changed, lotus flowers flew out of them, attacking Li Ruoxue one after another.
