Yue Su has been solving cases for many years, and he has seen countless corpses in his two lives, even if he has not done anything, he can judge a rough idea. Judging from Zhang Guozhu's body, it was neither poisoning nor violent disease, and if it was said that he was assassinated, it should be impossible. Zhang Guozhu was born in the army, his kung fu must be good, and there are many nursing homes in his family, so it is not easy to assassinate. Moreover, after the assassination, there will inevitably be blood stains, how can the people of the Zhang family not see it.

Yue Su took a few steps back, looked at Zhang Guobang, and said, "Before the lord died, I don't know who was by his side, but Lang Zhong came to diagnose him?" ”

"Lord Hui, the villain is the cousin of the lord, who lives in the outer room, and does not live in the house, and the details of this matter are only known to the sister-in-law and the housekeeper in the house." Zhang Guobang said.

"Then please call the butler."

The housekeeper Zhang Ju was in the mourning hall, and when he heard the sound, he came over, and Yue Su asked the question he had just asked Zhang Guobang again, and Zhang Ju answered truthfully. "My lord, the master died in the study, and when he died, no one was present, and the lady found out that the master had passed away when she brought ginseng soup to the master. At that time, as soon as the lady saw the corpse of the old man, she fainted here, and she is still sick in bed and cannot get off the ground. Before the old man died, his body seemed very tough, he didn't invite Lang Zhong, and after his death, he invited Lang Zhong to come and see, saying that he died of a violent illness, and the specific illness could not be seen. ”

From the face alone, Yue Su couldn't see the specific cause of Zhang Guozhu's death, but Yue Su understood that whether it was Zhang Guozhu's death or Sima Chen's death, it should have something to do with the lady's picture. Since Zhang Guozhu always went to the ancestral hall before his death, and watched the picture of the lady in front of the spiritual position, he thought that there must be a mystery in it, so it was better to go to the ancestral hall to see it first, maybe the answer to everything could be solved.

Yue Su immediately said: "I heard that the Zhang family has an ancestral hall, and after Lord Zhang is buried, the spiritual position will enter the ancestral hall." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhang Guobang nodded and said.

"Then take the headquarters to take a look." Yue Su turned around and walked directly outside.

Zhang Guozhu is no longer there, with Yue Su's official position, he doesn't just say that he will go, who dares to stop him. Zhang Guobang and Zhang Ju could only accompany them and go to the ancestral hall together.

The ancestral hall is not far from Zhang's house, and soon arrived, entered the courtyard, and came to the ancestral hall. This is for the ancestors of the Zhang family, under the tablet is the base of marble, the center of the base is inlaid with a piece of jade, there seem to be some words on the jade.

Yue Su walked closer and leaned over to look, it didn't matter what he saw, his heart trembled, because on this jade bib, there happened to be a song "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia".

"Dajiangdong goes to the waves to sweep away the eternal romantic characters......" is upright, exactly 100 words, arranged horizontally and vertically. There is such a word on a picture of a lady It seems very incompatible, and such a word is engraved in the ancestral hall, not even more nondescript, if your ancestor is Su Dongpo, it is good to say, but your surname is Zhang, what does it have to do with Old Man Su.

Yue Su heard Jin Chan say that Zhang Guozhu used to sit here, while looking at the picture of the lady, he pressed the jade bi with his hand, so he also pressed the jade bi curiously, and with a little force, the word "three" touched by his finger was actually concave.

"Huh?" Seeing such a scene, Yue Su immediately reacted, this jade bi should be an organ. He pressed again, and soon pressed all the hundred words into it. As a result, the "word" on the jade bi popped up again, which was obviously wrong.

There is this word on the picture of the lady, and this word on the jade bi is an organ, how can Yue Su not think of it, if you want to open this mechanism, you must land on this picture of the lady. But what is the connection between the lady picture and the mechanism, and what will appear inside when the mechanism is opened, Yue Su is not clear.

At that moment, Yue Su asked, "Zhang Guobang, do you know what this jade bi is for?" After Yue Su finished speaking, a pair of eyes stared at Zhang Guobang tightly.

Zhang Guobang hesitated and said, "I don't know this either." ”

From his expression, how could Yue Su not see that he was lying, but Yue Su did not expose it, but turned his head and shouted: "Jin Cicada, bring the painting." ”

Jin Chan took out the picture of the lady from the baggage and presented it to Yue Su, who unfolded the painting and said, "Zhang Guobang, do you know this painting?" ”

When Zhang Guobang saw this picture of a lady, his eyes lit up, and then he said carefully: "I've seen it, this should be my brother's treasure." Why did this painting come into the hands of adults, this is a relic of my cousin, I don't know if the adults can return it. ”

Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "The words on this jade bi are exactly the same as the words on this picture of a lady, and I don't know if there is a connection between the two, please give me advice." ”

"This ......" Zhang Guobang hesitated and said, "I don't know." ”

"Oh......" Yue Su nodded, and said, "Then I don't know what use this picture of a lady can be for the house?" ”

"This is the treasure of the eldest brother, all for remembrance." Zhang Guobang said cautiously.

"There are many relics left by Lord Zhang, and this painting is not bad to remember. Since there is no other use for the government, it will stay here in the headquarters and use it as evidence in court, and when the case is solved, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department. After Yue Su finished speaking, he rolled up the painting.

When Zhang Guobang saw that Yue Su didn't give it, he immediately showed an anxious expression on his face, and said, "My lord...... This...... This...... This is a painting uploaded by my Zhang family ancestor, even if my cousin dies, I can't be left behind. Please give it back. ”

"Didn't you just say that this painting is of no use to your Zhang family, but this painting is very useful to the imperial court, and you have to rely on this painting to track down the murderer who killed Sima Chen. Otherwise, as soon as the case is solved, the Ministry will return the painting. Yue Su said lightly.

"But...... My lord...... If this case is never solved...... Will the painting never be returned...... There has to be a deadline......" Zhang Guobang said anxiously.

"Since the ministry became an official, countless cases have been solved, and it is just a murder case, how can it never be solved. But then again, this case involves an official of the imperial court, if it really can't be broken for a while, this evidence really can't be returned, and when the case is revealed, it will be returned. But you can rest assured, if this case cannot be found out on the day of his death in the main hospital, a will will be made and sent back to the Zhang family. Yue Su said flatly.

Zhang Guobang heard Yue Su's words, his lungs almost exploded, and he said secretly: "If it can't be broken, just wait for the day you die, you are nearly twenty years younger than me, and when you die, I won't be buried early." ”

I am anxious, but there is no way, there are two official words, Yue Su is the governor of Henan, the biggest official here, what he says is nothing. "Your Excellency...... Are you ...... You're not...... Isn't that unreasonable......"

"Zhang Guobang, you should pay attention to what you say, I read that you just lost your brother, and I don't care about you. But this painting, the Ministry of Courtyard will never return it until the murder case is solved, you still pray that the Ministry of Courtyard can solve the case one day earlier. After speaking, Yue Su took the painting, turned around and left.

"Your Excellency...... Adult ......"

No matter how Zhang Guobang shouted, Yue Su didn't look back and left directly. Back at the county office, Yue Su pondered alone in the back hall and reasoned about the clues.

The deaths of Sima Chen and Zhang Guozhu have become clear, all because of this picture of a lady, the picture of a lady is related to the organ in the Zhang family ancestral hall, I think there must be some treasure hidden in the organ, otherwise Zhang Guobang would not be so anxious.

What kind of treasure can it be?

Looking at Zhang Guobang's expression, he should be able to know a little, and it is not impossible to extort confessions by torture, but it has not yet reached this point. Because once you do this, you are likely to be considered by outsiders that you are coveting the Zhang family's property.

Because of this picture, Sima Chen is dead, Zhang Guobang is also dead, and now this picture is in his own hands, and it is difficult to guarantee that people with a heart will not come to him to start, simply, it is not better to lead the snake out of the hole.

The next day, Yue Su ordered to set off for Luoyang. As usual, let Jin Chan and Li Zhong lead people and continue to stare in the city. However, he kept Yin Zhu by his side.

Yue Su left, Zhang Guobang was anxious again, and now Baba rushed over and asked Yue Su why he didn't stay to solve the case, Yue Su pushed him back with a word, "The headquarters and the hospital are all right, how can there be so much effort to stay in Yanshi County, and the case will be talked about later." ”

"Your Excellency...... If you don't ask about this case for the time being, you can't return the picture first, wait until the day when you use it, and then ask for it. Zhang Guobang said cautiously.

"Didn't you say that this painting has no other use than remembrance, so what's the hurry? The headquarters will keep it on your behalf, think about it first, and rest assured that the headquarters has promised to return it, and sooner or later it will definitely be returned. Okay, don't delay the time of the main hospital, let's go. ”

"This ......"

Yue Su drove the guests directly, and then rushed to Luoyang with troops, and as soon as he entered Luoyang, he still lived in the original governor's line. The prefect Shi Tong had no choice but to greet him in person, and after taking a seat in the Xingyuan Hall, Yue Su directly asked Liang Maosheng if he had been arrested.

Shi Tong was most afraid that Yue Su would ask about this, but he still came up and asked, and said in a squeaky voice: "Big, my lord...... Xia Guan had already sent troops to Guandu Town, and when he inquired, Liang Maosheng had already moved, and now no one knew where he went. The lower official sent a document to catch the sea, and Zhang Bang was wanted, but there was no news yet. ”

The people on this side were not caught, and the case became more and more worrying, but Yue Su also knew that Shi Tong did not dare to slack off, so he did not blame him and let him leave on his own. Shi Tong thought that he would at least be scolded severely, but he really didn't expect that Lord Yue was in such a good mood today, and he didn't even say a word of cruelty.

Forty miles away from the south gate of Yanshi County, there is a mountain col, and the whole territory of Henan is a flat river, and it is not easy to have such a place. The col stretches for miles in an arc, and on the other side of the mouth is an endless forest. Locals call the mountain Jade Dragon Mountain because it is shaped like a sinuous white dragon when it snows in winter.

Yulong Mountain Pass this place, usually few people come, it is rumored that there is a white lady temple in the depths of the forest, the white lady often manifests, all the men who go in are in and out of the place, this pass ten, ten pass hundred, and there is no dare to go in again.

Strange that night, hundreds of men entered the col, all armed with weapons, and did not seem to be afraid of the White Lady.

The woods at the mouth are very deep, and these people walked to the fourth watch, only to reach the end, looking at a dilapidated temple, but this temple is very large, presumably the White Lady Temple.

Among these people, the person who is the leader, if Jin Chan and Li Zhong see it, they will definitely know each other, is this someone else, it is Wang Qilong. By Wang Qilong's side, he also followed Zhang Tianshi and Cao Ge. Everyone walked to the front of the Niangniang Temple, Cao Ge stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to look a few times, and then heard a voice from inside. "Dragon Gate Flying Armor!"

"Slay the dragon and conquer the sky!" Wang Qilong then said loudly.

"How many incense sticks are on the dragon slaying platform?" Someone inside said again.

"Four incense sticks under the Xuanwu Hall!" Wang Qilong said.

"It turned out to be the helmsman of the king." As soon as the words fell, the temple door opened, and a man stood at the head of the door.

Wang Qilong glanced at the man and said, "Mr. Ye has arrived." ”

The man replied, "It's been a long time, and I've been waiting for the helmsman." Lord Wang, please inside, I will ask someone to greet Mr. Ye to get up. ”

Wang Qilong nodded and said, "At this hour, Mr. Ye has already fallen asleep, so don't bother anymore, and wait until dawn, I will visit Mr. Ye again." ”

"Mr. Ye once instructed that no matter what time it is, as long as the king helmsman arrives, it must be passed on." The man said, making a gesture of please, "Lord Wang, please have tea in the hall." ”

Wang Qilong followed the man and came to the main hall of the Niangniang Temple, in the main hall, the white lady is enshrined, but there is no incense here, and there are chairs around, which is like a living room. The people brought by Wang Qilong were all called to the guest room to rest, and only he, Zhang Banxian, and Cao Ge entered the main hall.

After a while, seven people entered the hall one after another, and these seven people were the seven who followed Mr. Ye, what kind of rat-whiskered elder and tiger-eyed man...... After these people entered the door, they were polite to Wang Qilong, and Mr. Ye did not appear until they all sat down. As soon as he entered the door, everyone stood up and bowed, "Mr. Ye." ”

"Sit down." Mr. Ye nodded slightly, looked at Wang Qilong, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Wang, it's really not easy to see your face today." ”

Anyone can hear the dissatisfaction in Mr. Ye's tone. But also, Mr. Ye asked Wang Qilong to come here in November last year to meet, and the result was that he waited until the first month of this year, how unpleasant.

Wang Qilong was quite embarrassed and said: "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry, I originally planned to arrive a year ago, who would have thought that the next one named Liang Maosheng would cause some trouble, leading to the official government Zhang Bang wanted, there are errands and soldiers everywhere, my big family, it is really inconvenient to move, let them disperse to come, and I am afraid that something will go wrong on the way and affect the overall situation, this is too late, and I hope that Mr. Ye will forgive his sins." ”

This is true, because before Yue Su entered Beijing, he said cruel words to Shi Tong, and if he couldn't get Liang Maosheng, he waited to be cleaned up. Shi Tong sent people to Guandu Town but did not find Liang Maosheng, this time he was in a hurry, not only was Zhang Bang wanted, but even his subordinates were all released. Many of Wang Qilong's subordinates are outlaws, and they don't look like good people, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, how can they not worry.

It was delayed again and again, and after the year, the wind was quiet, so I rushed over.

Mr. Ye walked to the chair in the middle and sat down, and said, "I see, I also heard about this, but I didn't expect that Liang Maosheng to be your person." It's good to come, I have something to arrange for you to do now. ”
