"Lord Lu, before the matter is clarified, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense."

Gu Ming reminded silently.

Although, he also has speculation in this regard, but it is only suspicion, and if such a word is accidentally spread, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Yes, yes, what Master Gu said is."

"Well, there has to be hard evidence for such a thing...... By the way, Master Di, what do you think? ”

Gu Ming glanced at Di Renjie and asked.

"My lord, my subordinates are thinking about the matter of the Willow Dao Gate that my lord just mentioned.

According to the previous observations of his subordinates, the fatal wound of the deceased was indeed a light knife. At that time, the subordinates didn't think much about it, after all, it was unlikely that the killer would use a conventional knife, which was not conducive to concealment.

Now that I say that, it's like a wound in a lancet.

The important thing is that the subordinates also said before that the three killers have the same method, and it is very likely that they are brothers of the same sect......"

Hearing this analysis, Lu Shilang's face was shocked: "So, it's likely that Liudaomen did it?" ”

"Okay, it's too early to draw conclusions...... Gu Ming waved his hand: "That's it, this official will go and meet Pan Ruoyu for a while to see what she says." ”

"But my lord, if it's not her, I'm afraid it's troublesome for us to judge her like this."

Di Renjie said worriedly.

"Who said that the official was going to try her? Just talk to her and comfort her. ”

After speaking, Gu Ming got up and left.

In the wing, Pan Ruoyu had just been coaxed to sleep by his son, and two gentle knocks sounded outside the door.

"Who?"

"Third lady, it's me, Gu Ming!"

"It turned out to be Lord Gu, Lord Gu has ...... Is there something wrong? ”

Pan Ruoyu replied in a trembling voice, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Third lady, that's the case, the official has found a clue and wants to verify it with the third lady."

"This ...... All right! ”

Pan Ruoyu replied helplessly, took a deep breath, and straightened her hair, before stepping forward to open the door with heavy steps.

"Third lady, is it convenient to move to a second step?"

This is the third lady's room, and Gu Ming is naturally not good at going in and talking.

"Well, Lord Gu, please go to the side hall with the concubine."

Coming to the adjacent side hall not far away, Pan Ruoyu took the initiative to ask: "Listen to Lord Gu's meaning, is there a clue to the murderer?" ”

"Well, maybe a little eyebrow-raising. However, there are some things that need to be confirmed with the third lady. ”

"What...... What's up? ”

"Third Madam, according to what this official has heard, General Feng has always been strict with himself and selfless, and may have inadvertently offended some people.

Therefore, we will target the suspect on the person who has had a holiday, I wonder if the third lady can provide some clues? ”

"This ...... The concubine is also not clear, because my lord almost does not talk about business when he comes home. ”

"Does the third lady have any suspicions? If you can provide some clues, it will also help the official solve this case. ”

"Master Gu, the concubine is just a woman's family, she only knows her husband and children on weekdays, and the concubine never asks about the officialdom, so there is no way to talk about who to suspect."

"Also to ......"

Gu Ming didn't rush to ask, and then chatted about some trivial things seemingly casually.

After chatting for a while, Gu Ming suddenly said: "By the way, Third Madam, take the liberty of asking, do you know a person named Yun Hongzhi?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Pan Ruoyu's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Gu Ming blankly.

She didn't dare to deny it, and it was impossible to deny it, after all, it was not a secret.

However, Gu Ming suddenly asked, it must have been investigated, she didn't know what clues Gu Ming had mastered, her heart was like a storm, and her expression changed sharply.

Gu Ming didn't ask, and waited quietly.

He knew he had got the point.

After a while, Pan Ruoyu asked in a trembling voice, "Gu ...... Master Gu, you ...... What exactly does this mean, you ask? ”

Gu Ming smiled: "The third lady doesn't need to be nervous, the official just found some clues related to this Yun Hongzhi......"

Speaking of this, Gu Ming didn't say any more, leaving Pan Ruoyu a little room to reply.

"Does it really have anything to do with him?"

Pan Ruoyu replied quickly for a while, and then lowered his head hurriedly, not daring to look at Gu Ming's eyes, as if he also felt that he had lost his mouth.

The mistake was that she shouldn't have added the word "true", and adding this word meant that she had the same suspicions.

However, Gu Ming pretended not to care about her slip of the tongue and said, "It seems that the third lady does know this person, so can you tell me something about Yun Hongzhi?" ”

Pan Ruoyu gritted her teeth, and her tone suddenly became tough.

"Master Gu, what do you mean? Now that you have already investigated, you should know some inside information, so why bother asking the concubine if she knows each other?

I'm sorry, the concubine is a little tired, farewell! ”

After speaking, Pan Ruoyu got up and was about to leave.

"The Third Lady and Wait......"

It seems that this woman is still underestimated.

Even so, Gu Ming can only change his strategy and get straight to the point, otherwise he will be very passive.

"What else is going on with Master Gu?"

Pan Ruoyu asked impatiently.

"Okay, this official is honest, indeed, this official knows some of the past events of the third lady, you and Yun Hongzhi once made a marriage, but it was just a mistake, and then you married General Feng."

"Master Gu, this is a private matter of the concubine, and the concubine doesn't want to mention it again."

"Third Madame, this official is not interested in inquiring about the third lady's private affairs. The problem is that the official now suspects that Yun Hongzhi participated in, or even led the destruction of the Feng Mansion......"

"It can't be, it can't be him, it can't be ......"

Gu Ming's words once again made Pan Ruoyu lose his temper, and he kept saying that it was impossible.

"Third lady, please calm down."

Gu Ming finally used the export chapter.

There are a lot of doubts about this woman, so Gu Ming must take some extraordinary measures, even if it is a misjudgment in the end, after all, his purpose is to solve the case, not to reveal people's privacy.

"Whew!"

Pan Ruoyu let out a long breath, and then shouted angrily at Gu Ming: "Lord Gu, are you suspicious of the concubine? ”

"Third lady, this case is too important, this official doesn't want to suspect anyone, but it is necessary to ask some things clearly, and please understand the third lady."

"You are clearly suspicious of the concubine...... Okay, the concubine will tell you now, although the concubine is not willing to marry into the Fengfu, but the sky can be seen, the concubine has always been clean and self-conscious, and it is rare to take a step even at the gate......"

"Third Madam, you may have misunderstood what the official meant, the object of the official's suspicion now is Yun Hongzhi.

This official can see that the third lady actually has similar suspicions, but you can't believe it, right? ”

Hearing this, Pan Ruoyu didn't speak, but just clenched his silver teeth, and his expression looked a little painful.

After a while, he finally said, "Yes, the concubine body is indeed a little unbelievable. ”

"Good!"

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"So, can the third lady be honest and tell the official some of the real situation?

If this case really has nothing to do with you, the official assures you that as long as it involves your privacy, the official will never spread it to the outside world, let alone record it in the file. ”

Pan Ruoyu hesitated for a while, then glanced at Gu Ming fixedly and asked, "Do you really promise not to tell others?" ”

"Third lady, rest assured, this official does what he says, except for you and me, there will definitely be no third person who knows."

"If the news spreads, the concubine will not live, and the ghost will come to you at that time!"

"No, no, no......"

Gu Ming secretly laughed in his heart.

Not to mention becoming a ghost, even if you become a ghost king, what can you do? It's not a hug yet...... No, it's self-defeating.

It seems that this woman really has some secrets that are not enough for outsiders.

Next, Pan Ruoyu seemed to be affected by the export chapter, and it seemed that she wanted to find someone to talk to, and talked in detail about her love and hatred with Yun Hongzhi.

She first talked about how she met Yun Hongzhi at the beginning, as well as the relationship between the two after that, and made a marriage...... Until the appearance of the wind.

"From the bottom of my heart, the concubine is unwilling to marry into the Feng family, but what can I do as a weak woman? can only accept fate.

After marrying into the Feng family, the concubine tried her best to forget the past and face the new life wholeheartedly.

But unexpectedly, half a year later, Yun Hongzhi sneaked into Fengfu in the middle of the night and found the concubine's room......

At that time, the concubine was frightened and begged him to leave quickly, so as not to be discovered, otherwise he would lose his life and his reputation would be ruined.

But he refused to leave, saying that he would take his concubine away and fly away, and he ......"

Speaking of this, Pan Ruoyu couldn't help gritting her teeth, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak.

After a pause, he continued: "He wanted to use force on the concubine, and the concubine forced him to die to keep his innocence......

Later, about a year later, he didn't appear again, and the concubine thought he was dead, and her heart relaxed a lot.

But he never expected that one night, he would come again......

This time he seemed to be a different person, and he actually ...... Actually used despicable means...... forcibly took possession of the concubine's body, saying that the concubine's body should have been his woman......

To be honest, in fact, the concubine has always felt guilty about him, and she has never been able to forget him in her heart.

However, he actually did such a thing that was inferior to a beast, and the concubine naturally scolded angrily......

As a result, the guy became angry and angry, and said cruelly that the concubine should not regret it, saying that he would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on Feng Tiancheng, and let Feng Tiancheng taste the taste of family ruin......

The concubine was frightened, but how could the concubine dare to tell others about these things? I can only hold it in my heart, and I feel uneasy all day long.

When the tragedy happened, the first person to suspect the concubine was him.

However, I don't believe that he has such ability and guts, after all, this is a heinous crime of the Zhujiu clan......"

These words finally solved many mysteries in Gu Ming's heart.

He believed that Pan Ruoyu was telling the truth.

Although the case is related to her, she is also a victim, a woman who seems to be beautiful but is actually miserable.

The reason why she was afraid and panicked was because she had such an unbearable past with Yun Hongzhi.

If people outside, especially Feng Tiancheng, know what happened to Yun Hongzhi, not to mention her status, I'm afraid it will be a question of whether she can still live.

"Master Gu, that's how things happened. The concubine has told you everything, please don't tell anyone, otherwise, the concubine will really have no face to live.

When the concubine dies, she dies, and she can only blame herself for her miserable life.

However, the concubine is reluctant to Lin'er, he is only two years old, if he has no mother, the concubine does not dare to imagine him in the future...... Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of this, Pan Ruoyu couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly.

"Alas!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Then he comforted in a soft voice: "Third lady, please rest assured, this official is very sympathetic to your plight, so it is impossible to leak your affairs." ”

"Thank you, ...... you."

Pan Ruoyu thanked him gratefully, and then seemed to remember something, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"By the way, Master Gu, if it was really Yun Hongzhi's doing, then ...... Then if he confesses...... Confess those things...... Concubinage...... Isn't it ......?"

"This ......" Gu Ming frowned: "It's not that there is no way, at that time, the official will personally interrogate him, and the official who should be recorded and the official who should not be recorded will know in his heart, in short, it will not cause trouble to the third lady." ”

"Plop!"

As soon as she heard this, Pan Ruoyu knelt on the ground on the spot and sobbed: "Lord Gu, your great kindness and great virtue concubine must be remembered in your heart, and you dare not forget it in this life." ”

"The third lady must not, hurry up!"

Gu Ming stretched out his hand and helped Pan Ruoyu up.

"Lord Gu, no matter whether the murderer is him or not, please ask Lord Gu to take a lot of pain, catch the culprit as soon as possible, and return justice to all the unjust souls in the Feng Mansion."

"Well, it will definitely ......"

Then, Gu Ming hurriedly walked back and found Lu Shilang and Di Renjie again.

"Master Gu, do you have a harvest?"

As soon as he saw Gu Ming appear, Di Renjie hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Hmm!" Gu Ming nodded: "Without further ado, hurry up and go to the Shence Mansion to call someone, and let's go to the Liudaomen to arrest someone together!" ”

……

Soon after, several fast horses left Beijing and galloped in the direction of Liudaomen.

Liudaomen is located in Maoping Peak, more than 200 miles away from the capital, and belongs to the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River.

At dawn, the group had already arrived outside the Liudaomen Mountain Gate.

As soon as he saw someone from the imperial court coming, the disciples on duty outside couldn't help frowning and came forward to ask, "I don't know what the officials are doing when they come to the sect?" ”

Gu Ming asked coldly, "Yun Hongzhi is a disciple you sent?" ”

"Yes, but ......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Di Renjie showed his token and shouted: "Yun Hongzhi is suspected of participating in a major case of destroying the door, and I will come and take him back to Beijing for interrogation." ”

"I'm sorry officials, Senior Brother Yun, he'...... He has already committed suicide. ”

"What? Commit suicide? ”

"Yes, there are two other senior brothers who also committed suicide, and they just found out this morning."

How dare Gu Ming believe it, and said coldly: "Suicide? Such a coincidence? Since I'm here, I have to see people in life and corpses in death, and take us in to see. ”

"This ...... Ladies and gentlemen, please wait, and let me go in and report to you. ”

"There's nothing to report, this is a big case of destroying the door, and there is no room for a mistake, so go in with the official."

Gu Ming ordered at the crowd.

"My lord, are you planning to break in?"

The two disciples guarding outside couldn't help but sink their faces.

"Get out!"

Gu Ming waved his sleeves, and the two disciples were immediately bounced away......

Under normal circumstances, the imperial court will pay attention to some etiquette when dealing with various factions in the rivers and lakes, so as to save the two sides from conflict.

But now the case is special, especially when I heard that Yun Hongzhi was actually dead, this timing was too coincidental, and what was even more coincidental was that the murderers were three people, and now there are three people in Liudaomen......

Among them, there must be articles.

Therefore, how could Gu Ming let the other party have a chance to prepare?

If this case was really planned by Liudaomen, its fate would inevitably be destroyed.

The group went straight up the mountain.

When they came to a square on the mountainside, a group of disciples walked out surrounded by an old man with a gloomy face.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Gu Ming showed his token: "This official is Dali Siqing, and I have come to investigate the case of the destruction of General Feng's Mansion, and I hope you will cooperate." ”

"The old man Yan Tong, the current head of the Liudaomen. This lord, although my Liudaomen is not a big sect, but you forcibly broke in, do you mean to look down on my Liudaomen? ”

"Master Yan, don't forget, no matter whether your Liudao Sect is a large sect or a small sect, you are still a citizen of the Great Yan Dynasty, and you are not a foreign land.

This official is a dignified Dali Siqing, is it possible to wait at the foot of the mountain, waiting for your Yan to summon him? ”

Hearing this, Yan Tong's face changed sharply.

However, he didn't dare to openly confront, and in the end he could only give up: "Yan doesn't dare!" ”

"Master Yan, the imperial court's attitude towards all factions in the rivers and lakes has always been lenient, and many things are turned a blind eye.

However, this does not mean that the Jianghu sect can ignore the law and do whatever it wants.

I don't know if Master Yan heard that there was a bloody case in the capital, and the mansion of General Feng Da was destroyed overnight, and there were nearly 100 dead, and only more than 10 people survived.

After our investigation, you sent your disciple Yun Hongshu to be quite suspicious, so I came to take him back to Beijing for interrogation.

It's just that I heard that he actually committed suicide at the bottom of the mountain, but is there such a thing? ”

That's right, Yan is also confused now, and he doesn't understand why he committed suicide. In addition, two other disciples also committed suicide, leaving no clues. ”

"Well, then please make it convenient for Master Yan to take me to the scene to see."

"Master, don't listen to them, these dog officials are too arrogant, why did they come to our Liudaomen to arrest people?"

A disciple standing behind Yan Tong couldn't help but scold at Gu Ming and his party.

"Bold!"

Di Renjie immediately shouted angrily.

Gu Ming raised his hand and signaled Di Renjie to be calm.

Then he glanced at the disciple who was shouting and scolding just now: "You ask why we went to the Liudaomen to arrest people?" ”

"That's right, don't think that we are easy to bully!"

As he spoke, the disciple couldn't help but draw his sword......

During this period, Yan Tong remained silent, and it seemed that he also wanted to test the attitude of Gu Ming and others.

Gu Ming has no prejudices about the Jianghu sect, after all, he also knows a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, such as Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu and others.

However, Liudaomen is so arrogant, he looks like he is not cooperating, and if he doesn't teach these guys a lesson, how can this case be investigated?

"Just because you dare to show your sword in front of your own officials, your official can be regarded as a rebellion!"

As he spoke, Gu Ming raised his hand......

"Hum~"

Suddenly, there was a metallic buzz at the scene.

In mid-air, more than a dozen lancets suddenly appeared.

"This ...... This ......"

Yan Tong was shocked.

Because, his knife was also missing, inexplicably suspended in mid-air.

"Boom~"

Then, as soon as Gu Ming clasped his hands, the knives suspended in mid-air instantly turned into powder, and they fluttered down.

With such strength, the personnel of the Shence Mansion who came together couldn't help but be frightened......

Although they had heard some legends about Gu Ming, few of them had seen Gu Ming's skills with their own eyes.

Now, finally, I have the privilege of witnessing it for myself......

"Plop~"

The disciple who let out the scolding sound finally came back to his senses, and his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Master Yan, the official treats each other politely, if you don't cooperate, then don't blame the official for turning his face and being ruthless."

"Don't dare, don't dare, Yan must cooperate, must cooperate......"

Gu Ming lit up such a hand, which had already completely frightened Yan Tong, where was there still a trace of the original arrogance?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please ......"

Now, it's much smoother.

After careful examination, all three died in their rooms, and the cause of death was the loss of meridians.

Because of the appearance of no injury, the people of the Liudaomen believed that the three of them had cut off their meridians, as for the reason...... I don't know.

Even Di Renjie, an expert in injury testing, could not determine whether the three of them had cut off their meridians by themselves, or whether someone had done something to do it.

However, he still found suspicions......

"My lord, take a step to speak."

Di Renjie took Gu Ming to a place where no one was around, and whispered: "My lord, my subordinates have carefully checked it, and most of these three people are not the three killers who committed the murder in Fengfu. ”

"Oh? How do you judge? ”

"First, the subordinates can say with certainty that these three people are not left-handed, but all use knives in their right hands, which can be distinguished from the palms of their hands.

Second, the posture of the three people is different from the image judged by the subordinates at the beginning, and then the first point is combined, so the subordinates think that the murderer may be someone else, at least, one of the three people is not. ”

"Hmmm......"

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking for a while, his face couldn't help but change: "No, these three people shouldn't be murderers, we were tricked!" ”

This time it was Di Renjie's turn to figure it out, and subconsciously asked, "What suspicions did the adults find?" ”

"Don't you think this investigation went too smoothly?"

"This ...... It seems to be a little smoother. ”

"In such a big case, the other party must be well-planned, how can we easily find clues?

In retrospect, the other party must have deliberately left a living mouth.

If we want to investigate this case, we must interrogate the survivors one by one and conduct a detailed investigation.

This investigation will find out the past of the third lady, and Yun Hongzhi will be listed as a key suspect......"

"That's right, that kid is suspicious."

"So this is the key, the other party step by step, deliberately guided us to sort out this clue, all the way to the Liudao Gate.

Yun Hongzhi had a motive to commit the crime, because Feng Tiancheng robbed his woman.

At the same time, Yun Hongzhi is a person from Liudaomen, who is good at using knives and has the ability to assassinate......

Everything seems to be in place.

However, Yun Hongzhi is not the real murderer after all, so he has to die.

When he died, the clue was broken, and there was no proof of his death......

Under normal circumstances, even if we believe that he is a murderer, we can return to the imperial court to make a difference, and Feng Tiancheng will most likely believe the results of our cracking......"

"That's right...... But what is the purpose of the other party? It can't just be blame, right? ”

"It's hard to say right now...... In this way, if you check those three people again, the official doesn't believe that the other party can really do it seamlessly. ”

"Hmm!"

Di Renjie nodded, and ran with Gu Ming to inspect the three corpses again......
