The spy leader is not good, and when he saw the assassin's corpse, Zhao Zheng had a deep understanding.

At that time, his sword should have been quite accurate, and it stands to reason that it would only injure the assassin and make him incapacitated. Who would have thought that it would still be a corpse, and the Imperial City Division's work also gave a definite answer, and he died of poison.

Dead soldiers!

Zhao Zheng finally saw this group, and he didn't believe it before when he hid poison in his teeth, but now he has seen it.

I should have thought of it a long time ago, since I dared to assassinate the emperor, I must have made all the preparations, how could I leave clues lightly, especially not a big living person. Zhao Zheng found that he was a little too naïve, and from now on he needed to adapt to the rhythm of the ancient conspirators.

The assassin is dead, the only clue is broken, and the assassination suddenly becomes a headless case, which is very head-wrenching, and there is nowhere to start! Zhao Kuangyin is also well aware of this, in fact, the Imperial City Division has been investigating since yesterday, but there is no result. One of the reasons why Zhao Zheng was used was that he took a fancy to Zhao Zheng's unique cleverness, and hoped that he could take the sword and have unexpected effects.

But what effect? Zhao Zheng regrets that in his previous life, he was just a lawyer and not a detective, and now he can only participate in this detection competition as an amateur.

The assassin is dead, which does not mean that all the clues are broken, and he has been exposed to a lot of criminal cases in his career as a lawyer in his previous life, so he knows a little bit about solving crimes.

I remember often seeing people say in detective dramas: corpses can speak. There is no doubt that corpses and relics are useful clues, and as for what can be found of something valuable, it depends on means and luck.

Zhao Zheng did not delay, and immediately asked the servants of the Imperial City Division to re-examine the body, and carefully inspect all the remnants and murder weapons. The Assassin was about five feet tall, which was not bad among the Song people, who were generally not very tall. The important thing is that the body is extremely strong and strong, and when you see the solid muscles of the body, you know that this person is not weak.

If you follow the usual process of doing an autopsy. It's hard to find any valuable clues. Fortunately, Zhao Zheng called Li Yuan, to be precise, Zhao Kuangyin arranged for him to come, and he will be his personal follower for a long time in the future.

Zhao Zheng knew very well what this arrangement meant, he was nominally responsible for secretly supervising hundreds of officials, and there must be someone to supervise him. Where can the emperor absolutely trust a certain courtier, surveillance is necessary and inevitable. Zhao Zheng believes that Li Yuan is definitely not the only one around him, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in the dark.

Zhao Zheng didn't mind this very much, although he was very unhappy that his privacy was being peeped at. But there is nothing to be done. Just pay attention to this point in behavior, fortunately, Li Yuan is also a good person, and he can help himself a lot. As for the future, it will depend on the situation.

Li Yuan was born in the forbidden army, and was a scout in the German army in the past, and he had rich experience in reconnaissance and military service. So the first time he saw the corpse, he judged that this person was born in the army and should still be a member of the forbidden army. Its body shape meets the standards of the forbidden army, and the calluses on its hands, feet, and legs are unique to soldiers.

Several old scars on his body were also left over from the battlefield. Li Yuan speculated: "These scars have been around for at least three years, and there are no obvious scars after that, so we can focus on investigating the soldiers who retired from China three years ago." ”

"Although the scope has been narrowed, there are still a lot of people after all!" Zhao Zheng spread his hands helplessly. But I was extremely shocked. Not to mention anything else, this at least proves that there are too many people in Bianliang City who are dissatisfied with the old Zhao family's Great Song Dynasty and want to subvert it.

Three years ago, he began to recruit generals and lieutenant generals under his disciple and train to become dead soldiers. It is enough to show the ambition of this person, and the strength behind it is naturally not bad. It's just that three years is too long, and ordinary soldiers in this era simply do not have a complete and detailed archive. It's too difficult to find out the details of an ordinary soldier and his whereabouts.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Wanting to investigate is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, the army has been very chaotic over the years, and there are really a lot of soldiers coming in and out......"

"There are a lot of people alive, maybe they are still dead......

"Dead people?" Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and realized that even if it was possible to find out the details of the assassin, it was likely to be one of the dead on the list. Since the other party is well-designed, can it be careful and thorough?

"What should I do?"

Zhao Zheng sighed: "What else can I do, let's put it first, it's not easy for people to check...... It's better to put more thought into things, and you can't let go of any clues. ”

Li Yuan nodded yes, picked up the bow and crossbow and looked at it for a long time, and said: "This is an ordinary bow and crossbow in the army, it seems difficult to find out the specific source, after all, Zhou Shizong fought a hundred battles in the south a few years ago, and countless weapons were damaged and lost......

Zhao Zheng sighed lightly, now he can at least be sure that it was not the revenge of Li Yun and Li Chongjin, but a premeditated, extremely accurate and well-thought-out assassination.

"It's not all without clues, if you look closely, this bow and crossbow has been around for a long time judging from the color of the material, but the whole body is brand new and has not been worn out too much, which means that it has not been used much on the battlefield." Zhao Zheng was observant and said in a deep voice: "If it is an old weapon used in the previous dynasty, then it is likely that it has not been put into the battlefield...... Go to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council to check if there are any similar situations, and if you can find any useful clues? ”

"Yes!"

Speaking of the brand-new crossbow, Zhao Zheng was suddenly reminded, and when he looked at the corpse again, he said in a deep voice: "By the way, if you take a closer look at the scars on the corpse, they are very dense, as if they were suffered in the same period, rather than the new and old scars are constantly superimposed, ......what does this mean?"

Li Yuan said suddenly: "It means that he was seriously injured in a battle......

Zhao Zheng smiled: "That's right, it should be someone who was seriously injured in a fierce battle...... Go to the Privy Council and the veterans and generals of the year to check, whether dead or alive, to see if you can find any clues! ”

"Yes!"

"And this ......" Zhao Zheng picked up the dark green coat, feeling funny in his heart, the history of using bionics to disguise the battlefield is really long. The color of the green coat is very close to the leaves of the cypress tree, and it is really difficult to find it if you are not careful to hide on it.

"Silky, turquoise!" Zhao Zheng turned to look at Li Yuan and asked, "What did you think of?" ”

"This ......" Li Yuan hesitated: "Ordinary people wear linen clothes, silk is rare, and this texture and dye seem to be extraordinary......"

"That's right, the silk weaving workshop and the dyeing workshop also seem to be the targets of our investigation......," Zhao Zheng smiled, it was not easy to find these clues at present.

"Subordinates go and do it immediately!"

Zhao Zheng grabbed Li Yuan, who was in a hurry, and said seriously: "What are you doing in a hurry?" Remember, it must be done in secret. Remember, there's a saying about killing people, and if you don't want to collect the bodies of more people in the know, be careful! ”

"Yes!"

……

Zhao Zheng left, and his own imperial city secretary and his subordinates cleaned up the mess, and at the same time played the news to the official family.

When Zhao Kuangyin received the news, he was already in the Funing Hall of the harem, the residence of the queen Wang. Although he is the emperor, his family life is also indispensable, and he has been out of the city for a long time, so he has naturally neglected his family for a long time.

When I came back this time, I first went to my mother, Empress Dowager Du, to ask for peace, and Zhao Kuangyin came to my wife. The Wang family was married by his successor, and the original wife was the He family, but unfortunately the blessing was thin, and he went before her husband ascended the throne and became the emperor. However, he was posthumously named the queen, and left a son, Zhao Dezhao, who was the eldest son of the noble emperor.

After Wang married Zhao Kuangyin, the husband and wife were harmonious, and they also had a son, Zhao Defang, who is now less than two years old. Zhao Kuangyin held Xiao Defang in his arms, his face full of pity. When he walked, his son was still in his arms, but now he is able to waddle and occasionally trot two or three steps.

The child of this age is the most cute, and it can naturally arouse Zhao Kuangyin's fatherly feelings.

"Father...... Zhao Defang can already speak, although he is often vague, but there is no problem in calling relatives.

"That's smart!" Zhao Kuangyin said with emotion: "The queen has a good way to teach her son, I have been gone for several months, and Defang can already say that he can go!" ”

"The official family is fighting outside, and taking care of the children is naturally within the concubine's responsibility!" Queen Wang said: "Now that the child is small, the concubine can still teach a little by word and deed, and when the child is older, the official family will have to bother to teach." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said casually: "That's nature, Defang has been smart since he was a child, he should teach carefully, and he will have a lot to do when he comes......"

Queen Wang shook her head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Defang is still young, or a little cute, but he is still far from being smart." is Dezhao, who is smart and sensible, filial and courteous, and is a good boy. Now that she is almost old, the concubine wonders if the official family should invite a few gentlemen to Dezhao. ”

This is a very sensitive issue, Zhao Kuangyin now only has two princes, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, both of whom are descendants. The difference is that Empress He, the mother of Dezhao, has passed away, while the current Empress Wang has Zhao Defang. If she is selfish, it is convenient to fight for the storage position for her son Defang.

But Empress Wang was virtuous, and he regarded the sons left by Empress He as his own. Now that her husband is firmly seated as the queen, the position of the crown prince will definitely attract much attention in the future, and she doesn't want to have a dislike between the two "sons", or there will be many twists and turns because of this. Therefore, Tong Guò asked the teacher to study for Dezhao, and showed his heart to Zhao Kuangyin.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin understands his wife's good intentions, and it is a blessing for him to have such a virtuous queen. nodded and said: "Yes, Dezhao is not small, you have to worry about daily life, and I will worry about the rest." ”

Zhao Kuangyin felt that he should do something, but he didn't have too far-reaching plans. After all, he is only in his thirties, and he is in full bloom. The two children are still young, and there may be more princes in the future, so there is no need to consider the issue of inheritance for the time being. At present, it is a matter of stability in the country, and it still needs to be more troubled.

I don't know...... When Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about it, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Zheng has made progress there!" (To be continued......)
