Chapter 248: The Contest
After a night of investigation, Ping An really let him find the place where those killers stayed, which was an inn, because these people lived in a shallow way and had fierce faces, so it was particularly eye-catching.
The innkeeper put down the account book in his hand, looked at Ping'an, and said suspiciously: "Who are you? What are you looking for those guest officers?"
Ping An didn't know how to explain the relationship with him, so he said vaguely: "It's someone who knows each other." ”
The shopkeeper did not doubt him, nodded and said, "Those guest officers will go downstairs for breakfast every hour, and you can see them in a while." ”
Chen Shi Ping'an frowned, this is the time of Chen, if they meet, they are afraid of trouble, after thinking about it, they took advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, slipped out, but did not leave immediately, and hid near the door of the inn.
I saw that as soon as the hour passed, several burly men walked down from the second floor, these people did not smile, their faces were cold, and they ate breakfast without saying a word.
Suddenly, several Jing Zhaoyin officials with knives came over, turned their backs safely, and watched a few people walk in.
Looking at the killers again, and then seeing the servants entering the inn, their faces changed abruptly, and they quickly accelerated the speed of eating.
Ya Servant A picked up a stool and sat down, yawned, and said in a loud voice, "Little Er, come with the food." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for a few people, bowed down and said enthusiastically: "A few officials, the meal will come soon, drink a cup of tea first." ”
Ya Shi Yi took a sip of the tea in the cup and said, "Damn, I urged us to solve the case, but I only gave a bunch of corpses with incomplete limbs, and there was no clue at all, how to solve the case?"
Xiao Er pricked up his ears and listened, and couldn't help but ask: "A few officials are talking about the case on the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, right? I heard that those corpses were extremely tragic, but is it true?"
"But no, more than 20 people were wiped on their necks, their bodies were buried on barren mountains, and they were turned out by wild beasts, why aren't they miserable?"
Ya Shi Yi looked at Xiao Er and smiled, and asked, "You know it clearly." ”
Xiao Er was interested, put the teapot down, sat on the stool, and asked nervously: "Hey, now this case is spread all over Kyoto, how can the little one not know? Dare to ask, is there a clue to this case? Who is the murderer?"
Ya Gongjia snorted, hammered his sore thigh, and said dissatisfiedly: "If it was so easy to find, we wouldn't have to work hard all night to find clues! ”
Ya Shi Bing frowned, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't complain, this is a case that the saint is concerned about, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”
Several officials hurriedly shut up when they heard this, and did not dare to complain again.
As soon as Xiao Er heard that he pulled out the saint, he didn't dare to inquire anymore, so he was busy serving food.
The voice of the official was not deliberately suppressed, and the peace outside the door could be heard clearly, not to mention the killers who were at the next table, so they ate quickly, and then went upstairs, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they actually packed up and went downstairs, and took their horses all the way to the city gate.
Ping'an looked at the direction of a few people after leaving the city, hurriedly returned to the waiting house, and informed Wei Yingran of everything he had found.
After hearing this, Wei Yingran frowned and asked, "You said, they have been living in the inn, and they hurried out of the city after hearing the conversation of Jingzhao Yin Yashou this morning?"
Ping An jaw: "Yes, maybe I knew that the matter was exposed, and I was afraid that Jing Zhaoyin would find clues, so I left in a hurry." ”
Wei Yingran narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Follow along the way, find out their destination, and it is best to find the lair where Jin Xiuchen placed the secret guard." After a pause, he said: "If you can't find it, you must catch those people alive, and at special moments, you can go to Siyan for help." ”
Only when those people are alive can they have the value of dealing with Jin Xiuchen!
"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”
"Be careful, don't reveal your identity, understand?"
Ping An understood the seriousness of the matter, solemnly agreed, and went out to prepare.
Jiyue Palace
Jin Roujia fell asleep after eating the Taiyi's soothing soup, and when she woke up, the sky was bright.
Orchid hears the voice and comes in to serve.
"Princess, His Royal Highness King Zhe has been here several times. ”
"Is there anything important?" Jin Roujia picked out a royal blue embroidered palace dress and wore it.
"It was said that you were scared yesterday, and Your Highness can't rest assured. Orchid said and smiled: "According to the slave maid, His Royal Highness King Zhe is a person who can be approached. ”
Jin Roujia didn't speak, compared to other brothers and sisters, Jin Zhe is indeed more real and can also communicate with each other, it's just that he is a prince and is destined to live and die for the throne!
On which road, who can remain sincere?
On the main hall
The emperor looked at the folds presented about the case of the nameless corpse in the suburbs of Beijing, his face turned blue with anger, and he threw the fold in his hand on the face of Jingzhao Yin Zhao Sen, and reprimanded angrily: "After so long, you haven't found any clues?
Zhao Sen was so frightened that his knees weakened, "plopped" and knelt down, he really kowtowed, and said in fear: "The emperor is clear, Weichen has been checking day and night, but this case is indeed difficult, and the available clues have not been found for a while, and I hope that the emperor will give Weichen a few more days, and Weichen will definitely find out the case." ”
I don't know if it's excitement or fear, I speak with a trill, and I'm already sweating after a few words.
The emperor frowned even more when he looked at it, and said angrily: "Don't talk about difficulties, if the case is easy to handle, what else do you want to do?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Zhao Sen wiped a handful of sweat, only to feel that time was difficult.
King Qu on the side looked at Zhao Sen's embarrassment, and stepped forward before King Ning to excuse him: "Father and Emperor are angry, and the sons and sons of this case also have a little understanding, it is not that Lord Zhao has a problem with his ability, but that the murderer is too cunning, and he also asks his father to give him a few more days." ”
Zhao Sen couldn't stop nodding as he listened to King Qu's words.
King Ning snorted coldly and secretly scolded King Qu for being hypocritical.
The emperor listened to King Qu's words, his eyes flashed, his eyes dimmed, for a moment, he calmed down the anger in his heart, ignored King Qu and King Ning, and looked at Jin Zhe on the side, and said kindly: "Zhe'er, you are an eyewitness to this matter, what do you have any opinion on this case?"
King Qu and King Ning glanced at each other, and they both saw the resoluteness in the other's eyes to exclude dissidents.
Jin Zhe was named, stepped forward and said respectfully: "My father atoned for his sins, and his sons were dull and didn't have any decent opinions, but the envoys of Wucheng State and Nanyan Kingdom are coming, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that Yu Guoyan will be humiliated, and I hope that Lord Zhao will work hard to catch the murderer as soon as possible." ”
The emperor listened with a look of satisfaction on his face, and look, they are all princes, and the older ones only know how to take the opportunity to win over and cultivate party henchmen, but they are young, and they know that they put the country first and worry about the country.
Kim Chol is right, this matter is related to state affairs, and it must be taken seriously.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became more and more pleasant, and he asked instead: "Peng Hao has been teaching hard in the past few days, how is the riding and archery practice?"
Jin Zhe didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed the topic, but he still said truthfully: "The child has learned a lot from the intentions of teaching, thank you for your father's love." ”
The corners of King Qu's eyes jumped, isn't it love? He actually sent Peng Hao, a big Buddha, to teach this lowly son, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
It's just that I wonder if Peng Hao will have a master-apprentice relationship with Jin Zhe and lean towards him?
"I see that Peng Hao is a keen and intelligent person, since Jing Zhaoyin is in difficulty, it is better to let him help solve this case. ”
The emperor's deep voice echoed in the hall, and the few people who were shocked by the small sound were stunned.
Zhao Sen: What does the emperor mean by this? Do you intend to let Peng Hao replace him?
King Qu: My father is really hateful, he can't bear to pave the way for Jin Zhe, Peng Hao... jumped into Jing Zhaoyin like this, and got the golden words of his father, the starting point is really not low!
If you really swear to support Kim Zhe, it will be really very difficult!
King Ning: Jin Zhe, once he was revived, he was so lucky, his father was clearly trying to connect the general's mansion for him, and the military power of the general's mansion that they had been so desperately asked for was actually going to be obtained by this cheap slave
In the end, he became a foil, not only was he robbed of the ranking, but even his position in the front of the palace was in the back row, this kind of thing, how could he be willing!
Chenwang's Mansion!
Qi Xin came to the side hall, in front of the round table, Jin Xiuchen was eating elegantly, he swallowed the words in his mouth and stood aside.
Jin Xiuchen chewed a few bites, swallowed the food, raised his eyes to look at Qi Xin, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qi Xin stepped forward and said, "They have already left Beijing, and Ping'an has also chased after them, do you want to act at the inn?"
Jin Xiuchen put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled coldly, and said, "Since you are ready, let's act." ”
"Yes. Zisin said and stepped out.
In an inn hundreds of miles outside Kyoto, the Nanyan delegation stayed here.
In the humble hall, there are two seats, one for King Ming and one for King Wu.
The seats of the two were so far apart that even their attendants did not talk to each other.
The atmosphere was condensed but not embarrassing, everyone was doing their own things, as if they were in order, and they seemed to be familiar with this kind of scene.
King Ming was dressed in plain clothes, with white jade hair and a crown of hair, a face like a peach and plum, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and an elegant temperament.
On the other side, King Wu was dressed in a black embroidered gold-threaded arrow sleeve placket robe, with a golden crown and tied hair, a majestic face, and a cold temperament.
This Wen Yiwu is the two most capable princes of Nanyan Kingdom, and they are also the most likely to inherit the throne.
Find a helper!
Mohe Garden
I don't know when Peng Mo has become more and more handy with the people in the palace of King Chen, and I have to say that they are all excellent and extraordinary.
The news in Jingzhong naturally couldn't escape Peng Mo's ears, and when she heard that Ping'an followed the killer out of the city, she knew that Jin Xiuchen was playing chess.
It's just that Wei Yingran really didn't find out about such a simple thing? Otherwise, how could he let him go out of the city safely?
"Master, are we going to do something?" asked Liuying from the side.
"Our goal is the Jin Palace, and Wei Yingran's affairs will be handed over to Jin Xiuchen. She believes in Jin Xiuchen's ability.
Liuying thought for a while and said, "But Qi Yeru just asked people to send a poison bag, and the Jin Palace's mansion didn't move, wouldn't that maid dare not do it?"
