Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Gongqing, the Marquis of Yongding, who was the commander of Feiyuwei at the time, was reporting to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in the imperial examination case five years ago, the three suspects who escaped are now one dead and one is brought to justice, in addition, just now, Shen Sigongzi took five corpses to Shuntian Mansion, and the minister has sent someone to ask, these five dead people are the killers who killed one of the suspects, and the other two killers have not yet been brought to justice." ”

The emperor picked up a jade piece on the bookcase and played with it in his hand, bowing slightly: "Ah Xiao is a talent." ”

Gong Qing hesitated for a moment and said; "In the past few days, Shen Sigongzi has met with Miss Hua almost every day, and today Miss Hua Da also went to Yongguo Mansion."

The emperor was stunned and let out a chuckle: "I just said, could it be that Ah Xiao was able to find out so much just a few days ago, it turned out that my little niece was helping him." ”

When the emperor said this, he suddenly remembered something.

Last time, Gong Qing once came to tell him, saying that Shen Xiao took a little girl dressed as a man to Dali Temple to investigate the case, yes, at that time, he thought of his sister's niece who liked to solve cases.

As the commander of the Flying Fish Guard, it was Gong Qing's duty to monitor the imperial relatives and nobles, and it was his duty to report to the emperor.

But this time, Gong Qing found that there was something wrong with the emperor's eyes looking at him.

Could it be that he is hallucinating? He clearly saw doubts in the emperor's eyes, and the emperor looked him up and down, as if to say, you don't even see my niece? You're blind.

Of course, Gong Qing knew that there was a kind of thing in this world called the disguise technique, but the little girl he saw in Dali Temple that day was easy to disguise?

No, it's not that he hasn't seen those who use human skin masks, whether they are happy or angry, they are all expressions, and at first glance, they don't think that they can be seen after a while.

But the little girl that day, that expression was very vivid.

Out of the imperial study, Gong Qing looked up at the blue sky, and he remembered that his nephew seemed to have some friendship with Miss Huada.

As soon as he left the palace, Gong Qing didn't get on the horse, so he said to his relatives: "What is the sixth young master doing these days?" ”

He replied with Ah Bao: "The sixth young master is kneeling in the small Buddha hall, and it was Master Hou who asked him to kneel." ”

Gong Qing remembered that ten days ago, the old lady sent Gong Liu to her old man's wedding Zhuangzi, and gave her a New Year's Festival reward to the old companions who were honored there.

Gong Qing asked Gong Liu to hang up, and was about to whip him, but the old lady rushed out, hugged Gong Liu and cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken, and in desperation, Gong Qing had no choice but to punish Gong Liu for kneeling in the small Buddha hall.

It's been ten days, and if it weren't for Po's reminder, he would have forgotten.

And he wasn't to blame, he had too much official business to deal with.

"Is he still alive?"

Gong Qing remembered that his second brother, Gong Liu's father, Gong Shu, was punished for kneeling for three days in the small Buddha hall and was carried out, and the imperial doctor said that Gong Shu's legs were almost wasted, so that many years later, when Gong Shu made military exploits at the border pass, Gong Qing was still a little afraid, if the second brother's legs were abolished that time, the court would have one less general who guarded the border pass.

Ah Bao didn't dare to say it, could he say that the old lady sent a mother-in-law who was good at massage and massage to the small Buddha hall every day?

can't say, the old lady said it, if he dares to tell the Hou Ye, don't want to marry Cai Ju as a daughter-in-law in this life. Cai Ju is the eldest girl next to the old lady, he has wanted to marry Cai Ju since he was eight years old, and he has been thinking about it for ten years.

Ah Bao looked sad: "The sixth young master should still be alive, the little one saw the princess in the big kitchen yesterday go to the small Buddha hall to deliver food, and the gift is cornmeal porridge and pickled cabbage." ”

Since it is a punishment for crispiness in the small Buddha hall, of course you can't eat meat, and you can't put sesame oil in pickled cabbage.

Gong Qing nodded, just live.

"You go back to the house first, and let him wait for me in the study." Gong Qing's expression was serious, if that stinky boy dared not to know about Miss Huada's disguise, then simply spend the New Year in the small Buddha hall.

In the evening, there were still few people in the capital who didn't know that Shen Sigongzi was carrying the corpse to the street, and it was estimated that there were few left.

Yes, this matter has been passed around, and it has become that Shen Sigongzi personally carried the corpse on the street.

And after wandering for three hours, frightened eighteen old ladies, frightened a hundred children, and one pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant only looked at it, and her stomach deflated, and she scared the child who was about to be born back.

So the question is, why did Shen Sigongzi carry the corpse shopping?

Don't ask, asking is a hobby, your son's unique hobby, you don't understand.

Then the question arises again, where did Shen Sigongzi carry the body?

Don't ask, if you ask, you will be carried home, your son likes to sleep with a corpse, this is also a hobby, you don't understand.

Shi Bing, who inquired about the news on the street, was confused, an hour ago, the people on the street obviously said that Shen Sigongzi carried the body into the yamen, why did he drink a bowl of hot tea from the teahouse, and the wind direction on the street changed, and it had risen to the unique hobby of Shen Sigongzi.

At this time, the fourth son of Shen, who had a unique hobby, was in the autopsy.

After the five bodies were exhumed from the mass grave, Luo Chengzuo examined the bodies in the inn, and the cause of death had been ascertained.

But all the corpses that he has examined, Luo Chengzuo will remember deeply, so when these five corpses were brought in, Luo Chengzuo also greeted them: "You are here?" It's cold today, so it's not freezing, is it? ”

Ping An shrunk his neck, how could he feel that there was a cold wind only drilling into the back of his neck.

"Luo Chengzuo, come and see."

Shen Xiao didn't know when, he had already covered his mouth and nose with a snow-white cotton cloth, and he said to Ping'an through the handkerchief: "Turn over all these corpses." ”

Ping An is about to cry, Fourth Son, you let me do this job because of the love we grew up together.

The five corpses were flipped over, revealing their backs, Luo Chengzuo only glanced at it, then frowned, he stepped forward, and he couldn't wait to look closely at the corpses.

Because on the back of these five corpses, there was a tattoo on the back of all of them, a tattoo that was not there before.

The tattoo is a bird, a strange bird, a bird with sharp claws on its wings.

And, although it is a tattoo, this pattern is not cyan, but red, dark red.

"No, absolutely not, when I performed the autopsy that day, there was absolutely no tattoo!"

Luo Yanzuo's voice couldn't hide the excitement, the white and chubby round face, because of the excitement and fine beads of sweat, like a steamed bun that forgot to lift the lid.
