The room suddenly fell into silence, except for the colorful clouds lying in the woman's arms, sobbing from time to time.

Lu Chengqing was a little dazed, licked his lips, and secretly thought to himself: If the old bustard's words are true, wouldn't it be that Cui Wenliang's death is directly aimed at Lai Guogong? Coupled with what Caiyun just said about hiring a murderer, this case is not just as simple as the murder of a court official. It's just for a Qinglou courtesan, I don't think it will get to such a point, maybe there is some partisan dispute behind it! It seems that this trip is not shallow, and I have a small long history, so it is better to put it aside. Well, you have to hurry up and play Your Majesty......

Qin Xuan didn't think about it so much, looking left and right, looking indifferent, after all, the matter was so big, it was no longer something that he could control by a very small person. I accidentally saw Lu Chengqing frowning for a while, shaking his head for a while, and said in his heart: Looking at Lu Chengqing's bitter expression, if I don't show courtesy, I will definitely sprinkle my anger on me. Thinking of this, he said: "My lord, I will search this room first, maybe I can find a breakthrough in solving the case and solve problems for my lord!" ”

Lu Chengqing had no intention of investigating the case again at this moment, and when he heard Qin Xuan's words, he felt a little relieved in his heart, nodded and did not speak.

Qin Xuan saw Lu Chengqing nodding, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Forget it, just pretend! Immediately, he pretended to start looking for clues in the room.

The door faces south, the east and west are slightly longer, and when you enter the door, there is a square table, the silk cloth spread on the table is a little messy, and the middle is soaked with wine, and next to the square table is the scattered wine utensils, Qin Xuan shook his head slightly, and said secretly: It's shameful to waste!

Sweeping the square table haphazardly, he made a detour to a wooden cabinet at the back. Mahogany construction. A pair of lotus flowers are carved on the cabinet door, which has a bit of charm. Qin Xuan stretched out his hand to open the cabinet door, making a soft "squeak" sound.

On the show bed, Caiyun, who was still choking, suddenly became a little nervous when he heard the sound, and exclaimed urgently: "Childe-"

Qin Xuanfang was about to look through the contents of the cabinet, when he heard this hurried voice, he looked back at Caiyun suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "En?" Miss Caiyun, what's the matter? ”

Caiyun slowly flushed, bit her lip shyly, hesitated for a moment, and then said weakly: "The cabinet is the little woman's personal belongings, please ...... it" In the end, he was already a little embarrassed, and he was too ashamed to speak.

Hearing Caiyun's words, and seeing Caiyun's face flushed, Qin Xuan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Is it a personal thing, could it be underwear or something? This thing really can't be flipped casually! Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to close the cabinet door, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a palm-sized folding book, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he reached out and picked it up and hurriedly flipped through it.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, Qin Xuan was a little dazed, and saw that it was written: "Zhenguan is ugly in April of the eighth year, and he is ugly." Zhenguan 8th year May Wuxu, Renyin. Zhenguan eighth year June Gengwu, Jiaxu ...... The first month of the eleventh year of Zhenguan is ugly, Bingwu. February of the 11th year of Zhenguan. ”

Qin Xuan's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart: Why are they all dates? Could it be that Caiyun is still keeping accounts? Or is there some ulterior secret? Thinking of this, Qin Xuan pretended to close the door, stuffed the folding book into his sleeve pocket, and then turned around and nodded slightly apologetically at Caiyun, pretending to be okay and continuing to search.

He walked to the desk opposite the show bed, flipped up a stack of straw paper on the table, took out one, and read softly: "Colorful clouds surround the sky, and the bright moon enters the water." A pulse and a vein, a dream of thousands of miles! After reading it, he smiled slightly, and said casually: "It seems that there are countless people who are interested in Caiyun girl, I don't know who wrote this first moon love cloud?" ”

Caiyun was slightly stunned when he heard the sound, and then sighed: "Imperial Doctor Cui Wenliang!" ”

"Poor infatuated man!" Qin Xuan sighed with emotion, then saw that there were a few sentences below, and read silently: "Heaven and earth are separated in the end, and the clouds and the moon are inseparable. If you meet in the next life, you will be with Chanjuan for thousands of miles! He raised his head and rubbed his forehead, and asked puzzledly: "Miss Caiyun, could this poem come from you?" ”

Caiyun smiled bitterly and blurted out: "After all, there is no fate, it's a pity that he has that heart!" ”

Qin Xuan was a little puzzled, so he turned his head and asked, "If he has affection, you also have intentions, why don't you redeem your free body in exchange for gathering in this life?" ”

Caiyun glanced sideways at the woman beside her and shook her head helplessly. Seeing this, Qin Xuan said in his heart: It must be that this old bustard is unwilling to let go, it is really a bitter pair of little mandarin ducks who are in love with each other!

After briefly reading the remaining poems, and finding that the meaning was similar to the previous one, he slowly put it down, turned around and checked elsewhere. Seeing a piece of silk cloth on the ground, Qin Xuan thought for a moment, then went to pick it up and asked, "This silk cloth should be the thing that the gangster strangled your neck, right?" ”

Caiyun looked up and nodded.

Qin Xuan stretched it vigorously and said with a smile: "Thanks to the fact that this thing is a little flexible, otherwise you will lose eighty percent of this thing!" ”

Lu Chengqing on the side saw that Qin Xuan was either looking at other women's personal belongings, or pursuing some gaudy poems, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't pretend here, the official will order the official to come later!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he glanced up at Lu Chengqing, and said in his heart: Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me, brother, I don't want to work hard.

Leaving Huancai Pavilion, Lu Chengqing rushed to the palace non-stop.

In the imperial study, Taizong was talking to the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling about Cui Wenliang's murder. Feng Zhizhong, the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, came in with broken steps, and said crisply: "Your Majesty, Yongzhou Governor Shi Lu Chengqing asks to see you!" ”

When Taizong heard this, he waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Quickly call him in!" ”

Lu Chengqing trembled and entered, and when he wanted to give a salute, Taizong asked directly: "Okay, let's talk about the investigation of the case?" ”

Lu Chengqing lowered his head and replied softly: "Your Majesty, I don't have a clue yet!" ”

Taizong was suddenly furious, and said sharply: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in Kyoto." A member of the imperial court, he was killed inexplicably! Half a day has passed, and I have no clue, what's the use of raising a fool like you? ”

Seeing that Taizong was angry, Lu Chengqing hurriedly knelt down and complained: "Your Majesty, this case is really very extensive, and the minister can't investigate it in detail!" ”

Taizong frowned and glared at Lu Chengqing, and said in a deep voice: "Very wide? Tell me more about what you've been checking in the past half a day! ”

Lu Chengqing replied tremblingly: "When the minister heard that Lord Cui had died unexpectedly, he hurried to Cui's mansion and blocked the scene......

Taizong blurted out: "Talk about the point!" ”

Lu Chengqing thought for a moment and said softly: "It has something to do with Lai Guogong!" ”

When Taizong and the three of them heard this, they all looked at Lu Chengqing in surprise. Taizong was slightly stunned, and then said: "Tell me in detail!" ”

Lu Chengqing reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pursed his lips. "Lord Cui died between the ugly hour and the midnight last night, but the dagger covered with the highly poisonous crane top red entered his back and went straight to the heart and died!"

Looking up slightly, he saw that Taizong was staring at him, lowered his head again, and said timidly: "There are two blood characters written on the right hand of Lord Cui, which are the name of Lai Guogong!" ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he said: "This alone cannot be sure that it has something to do with Lai Guogong, Xu was framed by the murderer, and he did it deliberately!" ”

Hearing this, Taizong nodded slightly. "Not bad!"

Lu Chengqing hurriedly said: "The minister didn't dare to speculate at that time, so he went to Du Mansion to verify, and learned that Lai Guogong was indeed not in the mansion last night, but stayed overnight in Huancai Pavilion in Pingkanglifang. Besides......"

Seeing that Lu Chengqing wanted to speak and stopped, Taizong blurted out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Besides, according to the old bustard of Huancai Pavilion, it seems that he has left Huancai Pavilion during the period, and time is a child! And when the minister arrived at the Huancai Pavilion, Caiyun, the courtesan who was with Lai Guogong last night, was almost killed. From her mouth, I learned that the person who wanted to harm her was sent by Lai Guogong! Lu Chengqing shuddered and said tremblingly.

After Lu Chengqing finished speaking, Taizong was stunned: "And this matter? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, even so, it is not certain that Lai Guogong is the murderer of this case. There are still three suspicious points, one is that Lai Guogong has no reason to harm Master Cui; Second, Caiyun's words are subject to discussion, if the villain wants to harm her, how can he tell the mastermind behind the scenes; Third, the words of the old bustard are not necessarily true! ”

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji staring at him, Lu Chengqing hurriedly explained: "Lai Guogong and Master Cui had a dispute over Caiyun three days ago! As for why the gangster told Caiyun, according to Caiyun, it was because the gangster wanted to slighten Caiyun and got carried away. Whether the bustard's words are true or not, the minister can't confirm it! ”

Taizong closed his eyes and pondered: The murder of the imperial historian is actually related to another imperial historian, and what is even more ridiculous is that it is just because of a Qinglou courtesan, what a shame!

Fang Xuanling secretly slandered in his heart: Qin Xuanxian's nephew is Pingkang Fangzheng at the moment, Pingkang has an accident, I think he should appear, I don't know if he has any opinions. Thinking of this, he asked, "Master Lu, I don't know if Pingkangfang has investigated with you, what do you think?" ”

Lu Chengqing just wanted to put himself aside at the moment, and when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, his eyes rolled and he blurted out: "Quite wise, the minister is investigating today thanks to his presence!" ”

When Taizong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked, "Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

Lu Chengqing was very happy to see that Taizong was interested in Qin Xuan, and in order to put himself aside, he simply pushed everything on Qin Xuan, and said: "First asked the people of Cui's mansion, and learned that Cui's mansion was as usual last night, and he used a dagger on his back, and concluded that the murderer should have an old relationship with Lord Cui!" Then he went to Du Mansion with his ministers, neither humble nor arrogant, and asked about the Duke of Lai Guogong who stayed overnight in Huancai Pavilion last night. After that, he also rescued Caiyun and woke him up, about the villain and Lai Guogong who may have left halfway last night, and this son found out and asked! ”

"Hmph, so it seems that your long history is not as good as a fangzheng? In that case, then you don't have to worry about this case, and give me home to reflect on! After Taizong scolded Lu Chengqing, he turned his head to Feng Zhizhong, the eunuch in the chamberlain, and said: "Pass on my message, order Qin Xuan to thoroughly investigate this case on my behalf, and officials at all levels in Kyoto will cooperate!" If you can't find out on time, you don't have to come back to see me! ”
