Xiangyi Mansion, Linyu City Pavilion Station.

Officials from the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple, who came from the capital, lived here, and they came to Xiangyi Mansion to thoroughly investigate the case of Xu Yuanzhuan's disappearance on the orders of Emperor Yongping.

That's right, it's missing.

Xu Yuanzun completely evaporated from the world, no one was seen alive, no body was dead, but he was missing!

After returning day after day after day in vain, the officials of the three departments finally became a little impatient, especially when they had to endure all kinds of rumors and rumors about the prince of the Xu Mansion every day.

"Dai Gong, Xia Guan still thinks that we should go to Anshun County to check on the eighteen horse thieves!"

Dali Temple came this time is Dali Temple Chengliu Zhongda, in Dali Temple known as the name of God.

However, this time, the three yamen converged to investigate the case, and the leader was Dai Duo, the left attendant of the Criminal Department.

What Liu Zhongda wants to do needs Dai Duo's permission.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

In the face of Liu Zhongda's requests for several days, Dai Duo, an old man, has always had this attitude.

And the head of the Inspectorate is Chen Zheng, the capital of the imperial history, who is known as a good man in the Inspectorate. But if anyone underestimates this Chen Yushi because of this, then just wait for bad luck.

Chen Zheng, who has been in the Imperial History of the Inspectorate for 12 years, has only been on eight impeachment excerpts, and these eight impeachment excerpts are all conclusive evidence and final word.

Because of Chen Zheng's impeachment, Emperor Yongping beheaded thirteen officials and abolished the titles of two nobles.

Therefore, this Chen Yushi belongs to the kind of character who easily does not make a move and makes a big deal.

And this time, the three yamen cooperated to investigate the case, and Chen Zheng's arrival was specially named by the old lady of Xufu. Obviously, he thinks that only this person can return the truth to the facts.

Liu Zhongda admires Chen Zheng very much, but in addition to admiration, he also wants to challenge Chen Zheng's prestige.

This is also the reason why he has repeatedly proposed to go to Anshun County to investigate.

In his opinion, as long as the identity of the so-called horse thief in Anshun County is determined, there will be a breakthrough in the matter.

"Dai Gong, we are in Fucheng, we can't find anything, what's the benefit of continuing to stay here?"

Liu Zhongda looked at Dai Duo, he was really anxious.

Dai Duo smiled and said, "Zhongda, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

"Now this Xiangyi Mansion, a long drought and a rainstorm, regardless of whether it is the people or local officials, are all busy grabbing seeds. You say, does it make sense for us to go to Anshun County at this time? ”

"As an official, it is not only necessary to have a sacred heart, but also to understand the feelings of the people."

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light!"

"You, don't sacrifice your roots!"

Dai Duo didn't know that there would be nothing to gain in Fucheng, but now going to Anshun County is just disturbing the people.

In his opinion, there is no need to investigate this case.

The Xu Mansion dispatched a private army, saying that it was to clean up the portal, but in fact it was trampling on the laws of the imperial court.

That filial piety Lang Xu Huaiyi is the person who was canonized by the saint.

has long been disassociated from the Xu Mansion, why did the Xu Mansion clean up the portal?

Now that the people who came out to do dirty things went wrong, they remembered the court and the Tang Dynasty, which was simply a joke.

Liu Zhongda was criticized and educated by Dai Duo, and he had a teachable expression on his face, but he was very unimpressed in his heart.

Chen Zheng heard these words, stood up, bowed respectfully to Dai Duo, and said: "Listening to Dai Gong's words, it is better to read for ten years, Chen Zheng thanks Dai Gong for teaching!" ”

"Ling Zheng, don't tease the old man!"

Dai Duo laughed, "Do you still need the old man to teach you these truths?" You've been doing this all these years! ”

"Dai Gong praised it!"

"What Xia Guan did before was just an uneven road."

"This is the case, the lower officials want to go to the book and do something practical for the official place."

As soon as Chen Zheng said this, Dai Duo was happy and said, "The son can be taught!" ”

Liu Zhongda, on the other hand, looked at Chen Zheng very unexpectedly, as if he couldn't understand why Chen Zheng did this. As an official place, he has already experienced that hardship, and he is fed up with it and doesn't want to experience it again.

"Dai Gong, the lower officials will go back first!"

Chen Zheng smiled and immediately said goodbye to Dai Duo.

"Go, go!"

Didor waved his hand casually.

Waiting for Chen Zheng to leave, Liu Zhongda also retired.

It's just that Liu Zhongda didn't go back to his room in the post house, but left the hospital and went straight to a courtyard not far away, where the leader of the Xu Mansion sent to Xiangyi Mansion to investigate the case lived here.

is still the son of An Taigong.

Well, it's still a concubine!

Xu Yuanzi!

As Xu Yuanzhu's third brother, his biological mother is just an ordinary maid in Xu Mansion, and his sense of presence in Xu Mansion is very low.

This time, he was sent to Xiangyi Mansion by Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai, and Xu Yuanzi never dreamed of it.

The people who have been eating and waiting for death suddenly found that they seemed to be able to do something, and Xu Yuanzi's mood was not to mention how excited.

However, when he arrived at Xiangyi Mansion, he found that things were completely different from what he imagined.

When Shen Wansheng, the governor of Xiangyi Prefecture, saw him, he didn't take him seriously at all.

As for the court officials who were traveling with him, they all ignored him.

He is the son of the Duke of the Kingdom, and he is so disliked, which makes Xu Yuanzi feel greatly humiliated, but he still has to endure it.

Then, after Xu Yuanzi found that there was no progress in the case, he began to chatter.

Although he didn't dare to say anything in front of Dai Duo and others, the words he said behind his back were loud enough to reach the ears of Dai Duo and others.

……

Liu Zhongda couldn't say that Dai Duo would go to Anshun County, so he could only find another way.

And this other method is Xu Yuanzi.

Liu Zhongda, who was eager to solve the case and make meritorious contributions, and Xu Yuanzi, who was anxious to show himself, smelled like each other, but they reached a consensus after just meeting each other.

Then, Xu Yuanzi took people, together with Liu Zhongda, out of Linyao City and went straight to Anshun County.

Not long after Liu Zhongda joined Xu Yuanzi out of the city, the news reached Shen Wansheng's ears, and Shen Wansheng waved his hand directly, not paying attention to this matter.

Liu Zhongda may have some ability, but this person is too eager for quick success, and he will have to finish playing sooner or later with waste snacks like Xu Yuanzi.

……

There is also a judgment of Dai Duo in the post house.

After knowing that Liu Zhongda had asked Xu Yuanzi to go to Anshun County, the old waiter just waved his hand, telling the people below to be calm and let them toss.

It's just that no one expected that Liu Zhongda and Xu Yuanzi and their entourage went out of the city for only half an hour, and Liu Zhongda fled back to Linyao City in embarrassment.

Xu Yuanzi, dead!

The guards of the Xu Mansion who came with Xu Yuanzi are also dead!

"Let's go!"

Dai Duo, who received the news, immediately joined Shen Wansheng and led a large group of people out of the city.

Seven miles outside the city, on the official road outside a dense forest, there are corpses lying all over the place.

The ownerless horse stood in place and neighed.

Xu Yuanzi was pierced through the throat by an arrow.

The guards of the Xu Mansion were all killed by arrows, and everyone was only hit by one arrow.

"Report it!"

After examining the arrows and wounds on everyone at the scene, Dai Duo's face was ugly.

Shoot!

Shoot again!

The three subordinates of the Xu Mansion who were originally involved in Anshun County were all shot.

Now, Xu Yuanzi and his guards were also shot.

"Dai Gong, there is only one murderer!"

After Chen Zheng found the location where the murderer was standing at that time, he made a careful observation and finally came to such a judgment.

One person, with a bow, shot more than a dozen Xu Mansion guards with good skills, and none of these guards escaped, and even these people didn't even seem to have a chance to dodge.

"But that's impossible!"

"How can a person have such a fast archery speed?"

Chen Zheng was a little skeptical about life.

Just now, he carefully counted the thirteen people, including Xu Yuanzi.

What kind of marksman does it take to kill thirteen people in a row in such a short period of time, with only one bow!

Anyway, Chen Zheng couldn't think of it.

"Are you sure it's just one person?"

Dai Duo pondered for a moment and looked up at Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Xiaguan did only see the mark left by one person. ”

"Look again, especially in the trees!"

"Also, what about Liu Zhongda?"

One person, one bow, in a short period of time, the arrow is not missing, and he kills the twelve guards of the Xu Mansion in a row, this kind of means is incredible, like ghosts, gods, immortals and demons.

"Dai Gong, the lower official is here!"

Liu Zhongda walked out from the rear, compared to the high spirits not long ago, now he is like a frosted eggplant, wilting.

"Tell me, what was the situation at that time?"

"Go back to Dai Gong!"

Liu Zhongda looked in a trance, as if he was recalling the previous scene, and seemed to be afraid.

"At that time, Xiaguan and Yuanzi Gongzi were walking side by side, and suddenly an arrow flew in, and Yuanzi Gongzi immediately fell off the horse."

"The next moment, it was a rain of arrows."

"When the lower official comes back to his senses, there is no one alive anymore!"

"Xia Guan doesn't know why the other party spared Xia Guan, Xia Guan really doesn't know anything!"

Liu Zhongda is really regretting not being at the beginning.

He hated himself for why he was in a hurry for quick success, why did he go to Xu Yuanzi, if he hadn't gone to Xu Yuanzi, then all this might not have happened.

Xu Yuanzi is dead, the guards are dead, but he is alive.

How do you explain this?

Even if it proves that he is innocent, will the Antai Guild spare him?

"Dai Gong, Xia Guan......"

"You go down first!"

Dai Duo glanced at Liu Zhongda and waved his hand lightly.

"Dai Gong, Dai Gong is a god and a man!"

When Liu Zhongda retreated gloomily, Chen Zheng turned back, "Xiaguan listened to what Dai Gong said and went to look at the tree. There are slight stampede marks left on the trees. ”

"According to the preliminary judgment of the lower officials, there are a total of six perpetrators!"

"All of them are marksmen!"

Chen Zheng glanced at Dai Duo meaningfully, but this sentence has too many meanings.

A marksman, not unusual.

However, it is very unusual for six marksmen to get together.

In Datang, it's not just anyone who can gather such a number of marksmen.

"Ling Zheng, be cautious!"

Dai Duo glanced at Chen Zheng, "Let's be courtiers, just do our duty." ”
