Chapter 270: Collaboration with the enemy
Looking at Daotong's thin appearance, Zhao Xianling said, "Take her to the hall, there are maids there, let them take a look." ”
"Yes, sir!" The officials replied in unison.
Soon, these people walked towards the hall with Zhao County's order.
At this time, Qi Sheng was still guarding the corpse of the county lord of Huayang, he didn't say a word, but the few guards who followed him sighed.
"Commander, the county lord of Huayang died like this, how can we explain to the old prince!" A guard asked uneasily.
"I don't know ......" Qi Sheng's eyes were straight, he didn't know what to do, it was no problem for him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but it was really difficult for him to solve this kind of thing.
He was at the scene when the county lord of Huayang was killed, and he didn't have any doubts, it was the hand of Miaoyin Niangzi.
And why Miaoyin Niangzi killed the county lord of Huayang He doesn't know, these young ladies were tied up here, and he doesn't know what happened before he came.
Although he has no clue, the murderer has been killed, and there is nothing to say about this matter, and I don't know that his military function cannot be worth the sin of the ineffective protector of the county lord this time.
Coupled with the anger of the old prince, Qi Sheng suddenly had a sense of hopelessness for the future.
"Don't worry about the rest for now, let's see how Zhao County Order handles it first, if the matter is not so simple, I'm afraid it will have to be handed over to the Criminal Department for processing." Qi Sheng sighed leisurely.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xianling just walked in.
He and Qi Sheng glanced at each other, and both of them knew that today's matter was very important, and if they didn't handle it well, both of them would be unable to escape the blame.
After all, Zhao County Ling is the parent official of this Suizhou City, even if the county lord of Huayang comes uninvited, but the lady of Miaoyin was invited by him after all, and the county lord of Huayang died within his jurisdiction, he must bear some responsibility.
And for Qi Sheng, not to mention his great military exploits in the army, that is all a later story, since he was sent out by the old prince to protect the county lord, then he must complete his mission, take the county lord of Huayang out completely, and then send it back completely.
But now, the county lord of Huayang was killed like this, and his death was unknown, which was simply a great shame for the imperial court.
What awaits the two of them may be the monstrous anger of the royal family, if Zhao County Ling and Qi Sheng can't give an explanation, I'm afraid their lives will be in danger.
Zhao Xian Ling walked in in a hurry, and did not go to Tang Chu's side, but came straight to Qi Sheng's side.
"Commander Qi!" Zhao County ordered to clasp his fists and salute.
"Zhao County Order, now is an extraordinary time, you and I don't have to be so polite, there is anything to say directly." Qi Sheng said.
"In that case, this official will get straight to the point." Zhao Xianling nodded.
Then he continued, "Although the whole thing has not been connected yet, the official has just discovered a major clue, which may be able to reduce the guilt of you and me. Zhao Xianling's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he looked straight at Qi Sheng.
Qi Sheng's eyelids jumped suddenly, and then he looked at Zhao Xianling.
Zhao Xianling immediately followed up and whispered, "Those few people in black are from Nanchang Kingdom!" ”
"What?" Qi Sheng looked at Zhao Xianling in disbelief, but the other party's breath was steady, and he seemed to be confident.
"Commander Qi, come and see!" Zhao County's order immediately signaled the officials to bring a few people in.
Qi Sheng also walked forward, looking at the tiger tattoos on the chests of the few men in black, I am afraid that no one present can be more familiar with him.
This is the imprint of the secret guard of the royal family of Nanchang State.
"No wonder ......" Qi Sheng concatenate all the information in his mind.
No wonder those few people have good martial arts, and the tricks are weird and faintly where have they been seen, and they are the royal guards of Nanchang Kingdom.
But how did they end up here, how did they get in, and how did they get on the Miaoyin Lady?
Qi Sheng only felt that his head had turned into a mess.
A few young ladies over there saw the man in black with his upper body naked, and quickly turned around with an exclamation.
At this time, a servant came over, and she said to Zhao Zhenzhu, "Miss, my lord wants your maid Xia He to take a look at this Dao boy, but there are any similar marks on his body." ”
Zhao Zhenzhu frowned and didn't say anything, after all, this is related to her father's official position, and seriously speaking, it may also be related to the lives of their family.
Looking at Xia He's trembling appearance, she was also a little unbearable, this girl has been with her for more than ten years, she has grown up together since she was a child, she knows that Xia He is timid, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow to last today.
"Jizhu, let Shuangxi go together, two people can be better together." Tang Chu said.
Xie Yaoyao also let her maid accompany her.
With two people with him, Xia He was not so afraid, and thanked the other people, walked behind a broken screen, and stripped the clothes of the Taoist boy brought by the servant.
After a while, several people came out, all shaking their heads.
"Miss, there are no marks on that Dao Tong's body." Xia He came back and said.
Zhao Zhenzhu nodded, and then said to the officer, "Did you hear that, there are no marks on that Dao Tong, go and tell my father!" ”
The official was ordered to leave.
Zhao Xianling, who was over there, sank down when the news came, and he said to Qi Sheng, "Now all the dead people in black have been checked, and they are all the royal guards of Nanchang Kingdom, but Dao Tong is not, and Miaoyin Niangzi became famous at a young age, and she is my apocalyptic person, presumably she was tempted to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason." ”
Zhao Xianling unhurriedly said his inference, and then looked at the mess in the room and couldn't help but feel a pain in his temples.
Miaoyin Niangzi is not blind, the body is lying on the cold ground like that, the case is clear and clear, the truth is clear, the murderer is dead, and there are several witnesses, that is, the remaining tandem process and some details are scrutinized.
Under the order of Zhao County, all the officials lifted the body of the man in black, and the county lord of Huayang and the lady of Miaoyin were carried by the guards brought by Qi Sheng, and in this way, a group of people went to the official mansion.
In the carriage, several people sat together. Zhao Zhenzhu lowered his head, Tang Chu closed his eyes to recuperate, and Xie Yaoyao was on crutches, each with something on his mind, and no one spoke again.
Zou Shiyan followed the carriage on foot outside, his eyes were engrossed in Tang Chu's location, and he looked around from time to time in case there was an accomplice of Miaoyin Niangzi.
The group came to the mansion smoothly, and without a short rest, everyone went to the court.
Zhao Xianling sat in the hall, and all the eyewitnesses were in the hall.
He must take a step forward to understand the situation, the status of the county lord of Huayang is precious, whether he has been killed for a long time or accidentally, he will be handed over to the imperial court for the final judgment, but before that, he must sort out everything and find clues in his favor, otherwise he will really be slaughtered, and his political enemies will not eat him alive!
At present, the situation grasped by Zhao County Order, first, the county lord of Huayang was killed by Miaoyin Niangzi, and Miaoyin Niangzi was killed by Tang Chu, and other things still need to be tried.
