But he also knew in his heart that even if this person had characteristics, it was impossible to check people all over the street. There has to be a direction! And now all the clues in front of several people unanimously point to the Changyang Palace! After all, that altar of forgetting worries came out of the Changyang Palace! But a thousand words are still the same sentence: The gate of King Changyang is not easy to enter! Even if it's just a person in the house, it's not something that Jingzhao Yamen can easily enter and check!

With last night's lesson, Yan Mochen had no idea at all. There is only one thought in his heart, what Fu Yin commands, he will do! As long as he can let him go home early and have a hot meal, he will be grateful!

Cheng Chuyang had long lost the strength to theorize at this time, and seeing that Lao Tzu was silent, he also waited with his eyes and nose and nose and heart.

He didn't want to challenge his father's temper, although there were no teacups in the study today, there was a good inkstone and countless scrolls of various materials. Either way, he can't afford it at this time!

The study was silent for about a quarter of an hour, and Cheng Changan finally sighed, "That's it, tomorrow the old man will personally go to meet the Changyang King!" ”

"This ......"

Yan Mochen didn't expect Fu Yin, who had always been wise and self-protective, to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Some surprised, some happy! In fact, this is also the thought that he has been quietly looking forward to for a few days in his heart.

After all, the Changyang Royal Mansion is different from other places, and in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is naturally more appropriate for Lord Yin of the Mansion to come forward.

Cheng Chuyang was even more stunned by these words, he didn't expect his father to speak so beautifully!

But after all, it is the prince's mansion, and it is very likely that he will enter the East Palace and become the prince in the future.

At this moment, Cheng Chuyang inexplicably understood his father.

Cheng Changan saw the two of them standing stupidly like wood, and made an exception with Yan Yue, "You guys have been running for a day and go down early to rest, and the old man will watch it tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, the lower official will retire!"

"My son is leaving!"

The two of them left the study with their own thoughts, and their hearts were heavier than ever.

The next day, Cheng Chuyang was the only one waiting for him at breakfast, and he did not see his father.

"Mother, why didn't my father come to eat?"

Mrs. Cheng personally served him a bowl of porridge, and then said: "Your father said that he went to find Bai Su Gongzi if he had something to do, so he won't eat at home!" ”

Cheng Chuyang picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip, "Go to find Bai Su Gongzi?" Didn't you go to Changyang Palace? ”

Mrs. Cheng shook her head, "I don't know about official business. He said to go to Bai Su, he must have his thoughts! ”

Hearing Mrs. Cheng say this, Cheng Chuyang instantly understood.

He, the father, is afraid that he will find Bai Su to inquire about the situation first, after all, the only person who is familiar with the King of Changyang and knows the case is Bai Su!

Could it be that his father asked Bai Su to accompany him to the Changyang Palace?

Mrs. Cheng was still distracted when she saw him eating, and sighed slightly in her heart.

I didn't expect a murder case to be so troublesome that it actually involved the Prince's Mansion! Although she is just a woman, she also understands that if this case of Jingzhao Yamen is related to the royal family and nobles, the small case will become complicated!

Fortunately, Cheng Chang'an returned to Yamen much earlier than Cheng Chuyang expected.

When the father and son came to the study, Cheng Chuyang couldn't help but ask first, "Father, how is the Changyang Palace?" It's hard to be a father. ”

Cheng Changan waved his hand, "I went to Sanssouci Villa in advance and let Bai Gongzi take a look at the portrait." He recalled for a long time and said that he had never seen this person in the Changyang Palace. He also heard that the old man was going to visit the king of Changyang, and he actually said that he was also going to ask the king of Changyang for a safe pulse, so the two of us went to the palace together. When he arrived at the palace, the old man explained his intention to the prince, and the prince happily called out all the people in the palace and let the old man identify them one by one. Unfortunately, no portrait was found. Afterwards, the prince did not blame the old man, when he heard that there was a jar of forgetfulness sent from his hand at the scene of the crime, the prince was very angry, and ordered the old man to strictly investigate the murderer, and said that no matter who he found, he would not tolerate it. Before leaving the palace, the prince also explained to the chief steward of the palace, and when the official went to the various mansions to investigate and forget his worries, the chief steward of the palace would accompany him, so as not to lose those nobles. ”

"I didn't expect King Changyang to be such a reasonable person!" Cheng Chuyang said sincerely.

Cheng Changan nodded approvingly, "However, it was possible to go so smoothly today thanks to Bai Gongzi's company." ”

Thinking that on the way to the palace, when the polite child quietly told him the rules and taboos of the Changyang Palace, Cheng Chang'an's always serious face was rarely a lot gentler.

"Bai Gongzi is a good child, you will have time to go to the villa to ask for advice in the future!"

Cheng Chuyang knew that Bai Su's help was indispensable for today's affairs, so he humbly accepted his father's teachings. "My son will definitely bring gifts to visit another day!"

Cheng Changan nodded with satisfaction, and looked at his eldest son a little more pleasing to the eye.

Cheng Chuyang then thought of something and asked, "So, the prince has already informed my father where the other altars are going?" ”

"Hmmm! Look! ”

As he spoke, he handed him a detailed list, which really recorded in detail the date when the King of Changyang sent out the forgetfulness, as well as the name of the donee's mansion.

"Uncle Cui Guo's mansion has two altars; a jar in the military department; Zhenbei general Du Yaosheng an altar; two altars of King Anping; An altar of the Ministry of Officials. A total of seven altars were sent. Uncle Guo's Mansion is the grandfather's house of King Changyang, which goes without saying. Du Yaosheng Du Shizi is the son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and his son also knows. Needless to say, King Anping, the emperor's second son, Princess Anping, is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Duguo. But who is this soldier? ”

Cheng Chuyang took the details and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out where this soldier was sacred.

Cheng Changan patiently introduced to him, "Bingbu Langzhong is Xie Lingfeng, the nephew of Mu Enhoufu, and now the nephew of the Queen Mother. At a young age, he served in the Ministry of War on his own, and was the most valued subordinate of the Ministry of War. ”

Speaking of which, I suddenly felt a little envious of Mu Enhou, how did people cultivate such an outstanding son?

It seems that I have waited for the opportunity to ask for advice!

Seeing that his father looked at him with scrutinizing eyes again, Cheng Chuyang had a bad premonition. Hurriedly changed the topic and said, "When does my father plan to go to these mansions to investigate?" ”

"Tomorrow will be gone."

On the second day, under the leadership of Cheng Chang'an, the people in the yamen went to several mansions to check the wine. Fortunately, accompanied by the steward of the palace, there was no one to make things difficult along the way. It was very smooth to find out the Uncle's Mansion, Muenhou Mansion, and Du Guogong's Mansion, and the wine jars of several mansions were all there, and the suspicion was cleared. In the end, only Anping Wangfu remained.

When Cheng Changan was investigating in Du Guogong's mansion, in addition to seeing Du Shizi's jar of wine, he also unexpectedly saw an altar in Du Guogong's hand, which turned out to be given to him by King Anping.

This is not surprising, after all, Du Guogong is the father-in-law of King Anping. It makes sense to give him an altar.

In this way, if King Anping didn't give it away, he should still have an altar in his hand.

But when everyone arrived at the Anping Palace, they realized that the only remaining altar of King Anping was gone! According to the chief steward of the Anping Palace, the wine seemed to have been stolen by thieves.

Cheng Changan didn't want to be sent away like this, so he took out the portrait of the suspect. As soon as this portrait came out, I didn't expect it to be recognized by a steward of the Anping Palace.

"Isn't this the second tiger in our house?"

Immediately afterwards, under the orders of the chief steward of the Anping Palace, a subordinate was tied up by Wuhuada.

This person really resembles the portrait.

Because this person was related to the murder, Cheng Changan wanted to forcibly bring the person back to the Yamen. Fortunately, King Anping was not there, and although the chief steward of the palace was unwilling, he didn't say anything else, gritted his teeth and agreed.

After interrogation, Erhu confessed to stealing wine, and admitted that forgetting worries was given to Gu Da in Shili Pavilion outside Xicheng that day.

"What is your relationship with Gu Da? Why did you give him the wine you stole at risk? ”

Erhu just smirked at this question, but did not answer.

Cheng Changan was not angry, and continued to patiently ask a series of questions:

"What handle do you have in Gu Da's hands?"

"Did you kill Gu Da?"

"Who instructed you to contact Gu Da?"

"Who's behind this? Is it the steward of the palace or the king of Anping? ”

Every time Cheng Changan asked a word, the hall would be quiet for a long time, until he finished asking all the words, the two tigers did not confide a word.

Cheng Changan had no choice but to order someone to temporarily put him in prison.

After several days of interrogation, Erhu refused to reveal a word, but Cheng Changan gradually had an answer in his heart.

"Erhu should just run errands. There is also a command behind the scenes. ”

Yan Mochen and Cheng Chuyang also nodded and acquiesced to this view.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of height alone, the second tiger is at a disadvantage, and the deceased Gu Da is a burly man who is more than seven feet. Besides, the second tiger didn't know martial arts, so it was impossible for him to appear in front of the dead in an instant, and kill him with a sword at the moment when Gu Da was surprised!

He's not really a murderer!

Just when the case was in a stalemate, news suddenly came from the prison, "The second tiger bit his tongue and committed suicide!" ”

"What?"

Cheng Changan was shocked, and secretly screamed in his heart: suffered, suffered! There is no hope to find the real murderer!

When Yan Mochen and Cheng Chuyang arrived at the prison, the second tiger was already out of breath. What is strange is that the second tiger, who refused to confess for many days, actually left a handwriting on the wall.

"I plead guilty!"
