When he returned home to change his armor, Su Xiaozhou was about to return to the palace, but was blocked by Li Yu at the door of his house.

Follow him through the streets and alleys, walking from Dongcheng to Xicheng for a long time, but he doesn't know where he is going.

"Hurry up——, your horse isn't grazing?" Li Yu kept urging.

Su Xiaozhou held his breath in his heart, so he simply led the horse to stop, crossed his arms and glared at him, "Where are you taking me?" And what to do? I have to go back to the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still sick in bed, and I don't have time to mess around with you! ”

Li Yu insisted on going his own way and made the marriage contract firm, and now it is difficult to break it in private. On the one hand, he said to her that he only wanted to be a vassal of the Hou Party, and on the other hand, he swore allegiance to His Majesty to the Li Tang royal family, which was obviously used by the wall grass before.

The crisis has not yet been resolved, and now that they are meeting again, if he can't say a proper reason, she plans to fight him immediately.

knew that she was angry about being used, so she would say such angry things. Li Yu was not angry, and said slowly: "A male corpse was caught at the Xicheng Wharf, and it was temporarily placed in the house of the Chang'an County Ya, I want to take you to see it." ”

"Look...... Male corpse? ”

Su Xiaozhou was a little puzzled, the rivers inside and outside Chang'an were criss-crossed, and the death of people in the water happened from time to time, what did she take to see?

Li Yu continued: "After the initial examination, the deceased was more than 30 people, and he was stabbed several times in the vital place, and died of excessive blood loss. Judging by the extent of the body's decomposition, it must have been two or three months since the body died. It was the rainy season, and he was washed into the culvert under the pier by the current, so that he did not flow out of the city. Recently, the rain has increased, and the water level of the river has risen again, which has washed him out again. ”

Su Xiaozhou listened, confused and reborn.

After two or three months of death, he probably suspected that the deceased might be Wu Fenglin. But if you want to recognize the corpse, you should also take Momo there, what's the point of going to see it yourself?

Seeing her doubts, Li Yu said again: "Soaked in the river and eaten by fish and shrimp, the deceased has been unrecognizable, and there is nothing on his body that can prove his identity." Therefore, he cut open his chest and abdomen and did a detailed examination, mainly to take out his internal organs, open them one by one and look at them carefully, looking for the deceased's unusual characteristics or other symptoms to help confirm his identity. ”

Listening to his description, Su Xiaozhou felt a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, no need to go into such detail. I'm neither an official nor a doctor, so why should I go to see the body? Also, I'm ...... I'm very alert and don't sleep well at night...... I ......"

"Don't be afraid—"

Li Yu raised his eyes, looked at her, and said word by word: "I found two objects in his stomach, which should have been swallowed in his stomach before he died, and they have been sealed as evidence." I'm going to take you to see the evidence, not the corpse. ”

"Exhibit ......"

Su Xiaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, "Look, you can see it." But I'm not good at tracking and inspecting these jobs, and it's only a waste of time to go. Why don't I get you a few experienced scouts from the Left Guard's Mansion? ”

"No, it's up to you."

Glancing left and right, Li Yu lowered his voice, "One of the exhibits is the 'Uzi Steel Hook', which is extremely hard, specially used for rope climbing, and has been identified by several major tomb robber families, and belongs to the Wu family's 'Golden Shadow' family. The other is a white jade pendant, which is the same as the painting given by Brother Lin Jie. ”

……

All the way to Chang'an County, Su Xiaozhou's mind was completely confused.

When he saw the evidence brought by the yacha, the "fortress" in his heart collapsed.

Such a good mutton fat white jade, she has never seen the second piece so far, engraved with the simple atmosphere of the word "An", with the Northern Zhou Dynasty hand Zhao Wenyuan's inscription font, the most exquisite carving of the inner house craftsmanship.

This piece of white jade pendant is undoubtedly a relic of Lu Ji's mother, Lord Lin'an!

*******

"The thing is indeed true, but the murderer must not be Brother Lu! He may be like me, he was taken advantage of; Or someone stole the jade pendant and deliberately blamed him! He is a famous family, and he is a relative of the royal family, it is impossible for him to participate in the robbery of the emperor's tomb, let alone Xu Yanbo's comrade! ”

Su Xiaozhou poured tea and tried to calm down.

Li Yu didn't refute it and continued to pour her tea.

They all knew in their hearts that they could have found some excuses for Lu Ji. But he deliberately faked the theft of the jade pendant on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were no three hundred taels of silver here. It can prove that his jade pendant has been lost a long time ago, and it is related to some ulterior secrets.

On the top floor of the teahouse, looking out of the window, you can see the red-brown palace wall of the imperial city, which is magnificent, majestic and solemn, representing the royal inoffensive.

Thinking that he was about to see Lu Ji, Su Xiaozhou suddenly didn't want to go back. After more than ten years of brotherhood, she had the slightest urge to tell him the clues she had found, and even wanted to help him steal the evidence. However, Momo, who had just become an orphan, is now living in Su Mansion, if he does this, how will he face him in the future?

"Brother Lu...... He ......"

She hesitated how to persuade Li Yu to help cover up the matter.

"He and Xu Yanbo are not necessarily complicit." Li Yu said.

"Huh?"

Her hand shook, and most of the tea was spilled, "What do you say?" ”

Li Yu poured tea for her again, "The case of Xu Yanbo's murder was secretly investigated and handled by Weiwei Temple, and the evidence is conclusive and very credible. Just imagine, if Brother Lin Jie mistakenly took Wu Fenglin for an assassin bribed by Xu Yanbo and killed him, it might just be to maintain the East Palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"It means that Brother Lu may not know that Wu Fenglin is a tomb robber at all?!"

Su Xiaozhou hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Li Yu, signaling him to say something he had in mind.

"Who can make Xu Yanbo and Brother Lin Jie listen to orders at the same time?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Will His Highness find someone to steal his grandfather's imperial tomb?"

"No!"

"That's it, these two people don't go all the way. Xu Yanbo bribed thieves to rob tombs, and did almost no leakage, if it weren't for Wu Fenglin's death, Momo had no choice but to sell paintings, and no one would know about it at all. But he bought the murder but did it with loopholes, as if a third party intervened, and the purpose was obviously to lead the disaster to the East Palace. Brother Lin Jie must have discovered the clue, and for the safety of the East Palace and His Royal Highness the Prince, he killed Wu Fenglin with his own hands. He lost the jade pendant in the hand, so he took advantage of the chaotic environment of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival to create the illusion that the jade pendant was stolen in front of us, so that even if it was discovered in the future, there would be an excuse. It's just that I didn't expect that Wu Fenglin would swallow the jade pendant into his stomach before the ......"

Li Yu's analysis was reasonable, and Su Xiaozhou nodded secretly, "So, what we want to arrest is the main messenger behind Xu Yanbo and the third party who is eyeing the East Palace." ”

"Those who poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be among them."

"Your medical skills seem to be good, is there a way to solve the poison in Your Highness?" Su Xiaozhou suddenly cheered up.

Li Yu looked at her and shook his head seriously, "There's no way, it's a very light dose of chronic poison, and it slowly enters the bone little by little over the years, and it can't even detect anything." Go back to the palace today and bring your resurrection with you. He has been gifted since he was a child and has a particularly keen sense of poison. In the future, His Highness will have to taste the decoction and food that His Highness will eat first. ”

"Although Fusheng is a domestic slave, he knows that someone has poisoned him, how can he try it? There is a father-in-law in the palace who specializes in tasting food, and I will let them strictly check it. Su Xiaozhou hurriedly refused.

Li Yu said, "No, they can't taste it." You don't have to worry, Fusheng had a serious illness when he was a child, and after he came back from the dead, he was invincible. ”
