Zhao Sen and Peng Hao personally led a team of soldiers, an inn and an inn inquired, the autumn afternoon was still very hot, at first Zhao Sen could maintain his demeanor, but after walking three streets, he showed fatigue, looked at Peng Hao who was walking like flying in front of him, he swallowed his saliva, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and called in a loud voice: "Peng Sangongzi." ”

Peng Hao turned around when he heard the sound, looked at Zhao Sen's pot-bellied and tired appearance, and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, these civil officials went out in a sedan car at every turn, and after only a few steps, they were tired like this!

Thinking about it, he walked back and asked, "Lord Zhao, are you tired?"

The errand explained by the emperor, where did Zhao Sen dare to say that he was tired, took a breath, waved his hand and said: "Not tired, not tired, it's just... I've been looking for a few hours, and the other teams haven't sent a single clue back, is it the wrong direction for our investigation?"

Peng Hao looked at Zhao Sen's panting but strong appearance, he was a little funny, looked at the inn not far away, he smiled: "Which inn is the last one on this street, let's take a look, if there are no clues, let's go back home and renegotiate the plan." ”

Zhao Sen was dumbfounded, he didn't have hope for this last inn in his heart, wiped his sweat, and secretly took a sip, he was busy all day, and he didn't find any clues, remembering Peng Hao's sworn appearance before he came, he scolded hundreds of times in his heart, dragged his sore legs and feet, and went to the last inn.

When the innkeeper saw that there were so many servants, he was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and said, "When the distinguished guests come, the ugly shop is full of brilliance." ”

As soon as Zhao Sen walked into the inn, he found a stool and sat down, listened to the boss's flattering words, frowned and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, serve a good pot of tea to the official." "What a blind man, don't you see that he is tired and thirsty?

The shopkeeper was startled, hurriedly agreed to go to the back kitchen, and after a while, he came out with a new set of tea sets, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Sen and Peng Hao, bowed down and said: "The small shop is simple, there is no good tea to entertain, don't be strange to adults." ”

Zhao Sen didn't care about any good or bad tea at this time, he drank it as soon as he picked it up, and the tea squirted out "poof" as soon as he entered his mouth, spit out his hot red tongue, and scolded: "Do you want to burn the official to death?"

Where did the shopkeeper dare to admit this charge, and knelt down in fear and said: "The adult is clear, the villain doesn't dare!"

Peng Hao was a little unaccustomed to Zhao Sen's appearance of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, frowned and glanced at him, looked up at the room upstairs, pulled a Xiao Er and asked, "Xiao Er, have you been in this inn for half a month?"

Xiao Er was so frightened by this battle that he didn't dare to come out, and when he was questioned at the moment, he was a little afraid, but he didn't dare not answer, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "The little one is the guy from this inn, and he has been there for half a month." ”

Peng Hao asked again: "Then have you ever noticed that one or a group of people who are different from ordinary people stay in your inn?"

"Yes, yes. Xiao Er nodded hurriedly when he heard this, he had long felt that there was something wrong with the group of people with swords, no, the official came to get people!

"Yes, where is it?" Zhao Sen heard the conversation between the two, jumped up, came to Xiao Er, and shouted: "Quickly hand over the prisoner who is harboring!"

When Xiao Er heard this charge, he was so frightened that he lost his seven souls and three souls, and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Adult Mingjian, the small one has nothing to do with that gang!"

The shopkeeper listened even more frightened, walked to Zhao Sen's feet, kowtowed, and said: "My lord, the villain is just doing small business, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake with the imperial court..." ”

Peng Hao frowned, looked at Zhao Sen impatiently, drank the shopkeeper's words, and said, "Okay, Lord Zhao didn't mean that you harbored prisoners, but wanted to ask where your prisoners are now?"

The shopkeeper looked at Peng Hao at this time, only thinking that he was more upright and kind than Zhao Sen, and seeing that he was a person who could speak, he was not looking at Zhao Sen at the moment, and said, "My lord, that group of people has already left this morning." ”

Zhao Sen was interrupted by Peng Hao, he was depressed, and when he heard the shopkeeper's words, he yelled angrily: "Where are you going?"

"The villain doesn't know. "The shopkeeper is about to cry, if this small shop is involved with the prisoner, can his life be saved?

Peng Hao pulled the shopkeeper up, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "How many days have they lived?

The shopkeeper understood that Peng Hao was an understanding person, and hurriedly replied: "There are seven of them, and they have lived in the shop for a total of five days, and they left after breakfast this morning." ”

"What was wrong with them during their stay? Did anyone come to look for them?"

Zhao Sen listened to Peng Hao's words one after another, his face was a little unsightly, the emperor said that he wanted him to assist, but he didn't have full control!

He's overstepping his authority!

If he was someone else, Zhao Sen would have been unbearable for a long time, but he was Peng Hao, who had the general's mansion on his back, and he was the quasi-concubine of the princess.

Compared with him, his little Jingzhao Mansion Yin was a little inadequate, so even though he was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't dare to get angry.

The shopkeeper just wanted to say that no one had come to look for him, but suddenly remembered the man who inquired about the news in the morning, and hurriedly said: "Hey, there is such a person, there is a person who came to them this morning!"

"Who is it? Can you deny it?" Peng Hao knew that the person the shopkeeper was talking about was safe.

"I don't know. The shopkeeper shook his head.

Peng Hao looked at Zhao Sen, who was sullen and silent on the side, his eyes rolled, and he said distressedly: "Lord Zhao, how is this good?

Zhao Sen was worried that he was useless, and when he heard Peng Hao's words, he smiled, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Do you remember the appearance of that man?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Remember seven or eight points." ”

This inn has been open for decades, and the shopkeeper has his own set of methods for identifying people, but he can always remember the people he has seen for a long time, let alone the ones he has only seen this morning, but in the face of the domineering officials, he did not dare to talk too much, lest he did not catch the thief in the future, but compensated himself.

Peng Hao was overjoyed and praised: "Lord Zhao is really wise, and he actually thought of a way to draw the appearance of a thief." ”

Zhao Sen was flattered, his face looked better, and he said humbly: "It's just that I've seen a lot, and Peng Sangongzi is not bad, the official only said one word, and you will know what the official is going to do." ”

Peng Hao said a few words of greeting, and asked Zhao Sen to send someone to find the painter.

The painter is a painter who specializes in painting the appearance of criminals in Jingzhao Yin's mansion, Peng Hao looked at the peaceful appearance he painted on the side, frowning slightly, this painter really doesn't dare to compliment, if he paints like this, where is there a little bit of peace?

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "I haven't animated the pen for a long time, and at this time, watching the master sway, there is some itching, and I take the liberty to borrow the master's pen and ink." ”

The painter hurriedly got up, let go of the table, chair and pen and ink, and said with his head bowed: "Peng Sangongzi is polite, please use it." ”

Zhao Sen was surprised: "Peng Sangongzi wants to do it himself?" "Isn't he a military general?"

Peng Hao smiled politely: "I'm unfamiliar, don't laugh at Lord Zhao later." ”

As he spoke, he drew according to the details that the shopkeeper said, and the strokes were really closer to what the shopkeeper said than the painter.

The shopkeeper stared at the portrait under the brush, and couldn't stop nodding: "It's him, it's him, he came to find that group of people this morning." ”

Zhao Sen looked at the person on the drawing paper, frowned slightly, and hesitated: "This person is a little familiar." ”

Peng Hao looked at the ten people drawn on the drawing paper, and muttered: "This... Isn't this the guard by Wei Shizi's side?"

Zhao Sen clapped his hands and said suddenly: "Yes, isn't it the guard next to Wei Shizi, I have seen it at the gate of the palace!"

This made Zhao Sen difficult again, how could a murder case involve the Chengenhou Mansion?

That Wei Yingran is not only the queen's younger brother, but also Peng Mo's fiancé!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sen looked at Peng Hao on the side with some apprehension.

Peng Hao came into contact with Zhao Sen's line of sight, and chuckled slightly: "This matter needs to be avoided in the next place, why don't you bother Lord Zhao to tell the emperor about the new case, okay?"

Zhao Sen naturally didn't agree, so he took the drawing paper to the palace after being polite.

Peng Hao looked at Zhao Sen's back, and his smile deepened slightly.

It was night, Gu Mansion, Gu Lingyu sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked up at the stars in the night sky, thought of the Wu family in prison, and blurred his vision with tears.

He prides himself on being smart and ambitious, but he can't even protect his most beloved woman and child!

The Gu family once again strangled the people closest to him!

Chengenhou Mansion, Wei Yingran sat behind the desk, there was a lamp and candle on the desk, and on the table was the scroll of paintings, he looked at the smiling woman in the painting, slightly distracted.

In the silence of the night, there was a sudden sound of "duh".

Wei Yingran came back to his senses, looked at the door with his eyebrows, got up and took the dagger in the bookcase in his hand, he opened the door, the courtyard was empty, and there was an arrow nailed to the door, and the tail of the arrow was a blue-gray corner.

His eyes were cold, this is a feather arrow of peace, and the corners of his clothes are also safe.

Ping An failed?!

If you can't get those killers back...!

The next day, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace for breakfast, and talked about the portrait of peace during the banquet.

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and the bowl in her hand was almost unstable, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how is Yingran?"

The emperor thought of the sister-brother friendship between the queen and Wei Yingran, and said with relief: "The queen is not in a hurry, Wei Shizi is very good." As he spoke, he asked, "Does the queen have an impression of the guards around Wei Shizi?"

When the queen got the news that Wei Yingran was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief, listened to the emperor's question, and thought: "This guard's name is Ping'an, and he was bought back by Yingran on the street. ”

This is also true and false, she doesn't know if this guard is true, but she didn't fully say what she knows in her heart, as far as she knows, this guard is Wei Yingran's henchman, and now the murder has implicated the Chengenhou Mansion, she has never seen Wei Yingran, so she doesn't dare to say too much, so as not to burn herself.
