It stands to reason that the guards of the Southern Patrol Disaster Relief are all selected from various military families, although they are not all cronies, but at least they don't look like shallow people, so their appearance at this time is really suspicious.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen saw her face surprised, followed her gaze and turned back, his face sank, "Yebai, go and take a look." ”

"Yes! Master. ”

Yebai heard the rumors of beating the horse and turned back, and the leader just went out and this happened, is it really that they are not famous enough to provoke the traitor?

At the end of the convoy, the old carriage creaked, and the curtain was closed because it was the scene of the murder, and the guards around the carriage looked confused and smirked, and if you didn't look closely, you would feel like you had lost your mind.

"This doesn't look right......"

Nan Jinyu held his chin and said, because there were problems one after another, the convoy had stopped moving forward at this moment, and the whole was coiled on the rugged mountain road, stretching back and forth for a long time, and naturally I couldn't see what was going on.

"Something is wrong, there are shadow guards to investigate, you stay well."

Xiao Chen saw her imminent thoughts, and directly extinguished the curious little flame in her heart.

"Oh."

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, sat back in a daze, waited while drinking tea, and opened the book on the small table.

"That's ......"

Before Xiao Chen's words were finished, Nan Jinyu's face had changed, and the whole person was stunned in place, and the book in his hand became very hot, and he couldn't close it.

"Ahem! Got it wrong. ”

After a while, Nan Jinyu came back to her senses and put down the book with a dry cough, thinking of the contents of the book, she felt her face burn in panic!

The spring palace picture is very exciting!

This demon has been watching so carefully all day long, she still thinks that people are working tirelessly, but what is the result......

"You still read it if you took it wrong?"

Xiao Chen was speechless, there was no embarrassment on his jade white face, but he looked very calm.

"I think...... What's up? I just glanced at it! ”

Nan Jinyu's eyes, this thing was caught looking at the Spring Palace picture by herself, and she actually complained that she had read the content?

Why can't he go to heaven!

"More than a glance or two."

Xiao Chen wanted to say something, but when he saw that Yebai had already returned from his horse outside, he didn't continue the topic.

"Master, the seven or eight guards in the back have already tied up the culprit when they see what kind of drug they have taken."

Ye Bai saw Tsing Yi looking ahead without squinting, and sighed silently in his heart.

Sister Tsing Yi really doesn't care about him, she faces those dancing girls with all kinds of tricks and tricks alone, she doesn't even give her a straight eye, so sad......

"Already cleared?"

Xiao Chen was not surprised, it seemed that this result was expected by him.

"Yes! The dancing girl who did it was the one named Su Su who served the king, but she had been kicked out by the king yesterday, and she used ecstasy incense on the guards, and her subordinates asked her to be escorted to the king alone. ”

Yebai said truthfully, according to the original plan, it is enough to bring a dancing girl to each of the kings and the seven highnesses, and the king does not follow the routine to bring three, now it's okay, the murder case is out of trouble!

"Well, you're doing a good job, it's better for him to solve the trouble caused by the fourth child, and continue to hurry."

Xiao Chen praised, lowered the curtain, and continued to move forward.

In late autumn, the mountain wind is very strong, and when you encounter a mountain stream with a rushing river, you feel that you are on the edge of a waterfall and are in danger of falling at any time.

Nan Jinyu occasionally lifted the curtain to look at the road, like driving a car on the mountain road in northwest Yunnan in her previous life, and the whole child was as timid as a mouse.

"The mountains are not as good as the official road, and there is no place to rest around this dangerous road, I'm afraid I'm going to be bored."

Xiao Chen saw that she opened the curtain from time to time to look outside, thinking that she had nothing to do and felt bored, so he explained.

"It's not boring, it's just that the sound of this mountain stream is too loud, and I always feel a little scared of this road risk......"

Nan Jinyu swallowed her saliva, she ignored such road conditions, if she wanted to go to southern Xinjiang, she would probably only be more blocked.

"Huh? The loud sound of the mountain stream is due to the steepness of the mountain, but this road is not so easy to get into trouble, we are still far from the cliff. ”

Xiao Chen didn't expect this to be the reason, and laughed a little teasingly.

I thought that this wild fox was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now I saw that she was not so fearless, and she was still not ambiguous when she should be timid!

"Well, then I'll be relieved."

Nan Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her gaze from the outside, and calmly took out the booklet and pencil she had brought with her and began to write.

After three days of rapid travel in the mountains, I finally arrived at Dongchuan Mansion on the evening of the fourth day.

On the endless flat avenue, the golden wheat fields were full of fruit, and there was no sign of famine at all.

"Can you still farm on the side of the official road in Dongchuan Mansion?"

Nan Jinyu touched her chin and keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Since ancient times, all the higher-level local units, outside the city gates, are the official boundaries for defense, how can anyone let the people farm the land?

"Well, I'll have to ask their thorn master."

Xiao Chen was ridiculously calm, his gaze was withdrawn from the ears of wheat all over the ground, and he looked at the magnificent welcoming procession under the city gate.

"This battle ......"

Nan Jinyu was speechless, and she sealed her mouth tightly.

According to the previous convention, the counties that steal chickens and dogs generally have moths, and this Dongchuan Mansion looks different, and behaves frankly, but it is unknown whether this openness is true or false.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Xian, His Royal Highness the Seventh, you have come from afar and worked hard all the way.

A civil official with a white-washed robe spoke loudly at the top of his voice, his eyes always resting on King Qin's carriage.

According to the reliable information reported by the spies: His Royal Highness King Qin left Beijing this time with a face, and this time he went around to Dongchuan Mansion and suffered a murder.

If the service is not good, these nobles from Yanjing may not be able to make some trouble......

"There is Lord Lao Shi personally greeting him, and several His Royal Highnesses have understood it, so it is disrespectful and disturbs Lord Yu."

The leader of the team replied, full of official momentum but not oppressive, and he looked amiable.

"Hahaha, then Your Highness, please!"

Lord Thorn Shi pulled aside, and the welcoming team also pulled aside, except for the banner leading the way, the rest of the people got out of the way.

The convoy moved forward slowly, passed the Lord Thorn Shiyu who greeted him, and walked into Dongchuan Mansion.

Dongchuan Mansion is located in Huainan and Dongchuan junction, originally subordinate to the westernmost territory of Dongchuan, but later trade exchanges grew stronger, coupled with the complex relationship between several parties, gradually separated from Dongchuan and became a separate government, but this jurisdiction is not a governor, it is still the history of the thorn, the parents of the Dongchuan Mansion, Lord Yu, is only the identity of the history of the Zhongzhou thorn.

"Oh no, this poppy! Lord Yu looks, it's a clean official! ”

Nan Jinyu yawned, feeling as if she had nothing to do with herself, and was ready to sleep for a while.

"How do you know the nickname of Lord Thorn?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, this fox knows too much, Lord Yu was known as a pear in Huaibei when he was young, who met a lost daughter-in-law.

"Huh? What a nickname? Is Your Highness talking about poppies? ”

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, she just said the wrong thing with her mouth, did she happen to say the right nickname?

Isn't that outrageous?

"Uh-huh! You really don't know? ”

Xiao Chen glanced at her, and when he saw her confused and funny appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I ...... Need to know? ”

Nan Jinyu was puzzled, and tried to search around in her memory, but there was nothing about this Lord Yu, not even a bit of gossip, I think it was because the original owner was not interested!

"Well, it's okay if I don't know."

Xiao Chen wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes returned to the front of the carriage, and he was a little more energetic.

"Oh......"

Nan Jinyu thought that he was thinking about the handover of the case, so he didn't ask any further, is Zuo just famous or born in the wind? 88

She's not a nymphomaniac!

No, it's not! She's not a nymphomaniac for anyone!

The street structure of Dongchuan Prefecture is very unique, because it is close to the mountains and rivers, although it is flat, the terrain is not so gentle, and it is interesting to look at.

The convoy bypassed the downtown area, and the people passing by automatically avoided it, and the people's lives looked more comfortable than Yanjing, and the dress was more than one level higher than that of the wealthy Fufeng County!

"This Dongchuan Mansion looks stable and peaceful."

Nan Jinyu had something to say, although he didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking in his heart, but looking at his vigilant appearance, he knew that this Dongchuan Mansion was not as stable as it seemed on the surface.

"Look, yes." Xiao Chen hooked the corners of his lower lip and turned his eyes to look at her, "Lunch is okay, are you hungry?" ”

"I had a good lunch, but I don't feel hungry at this time. How? Will we have dinner late? ”

Nan Jinyu was puzzled, didn't Lord Yu just say that he would invite them to be guests in the mansion? Could it be that he is afraid that he will not give him food?

That shouldn't be the case!

"That's good, you'll find out in a moment."

Xiao Chen nodded, not explaining much.

The carriage directly entered the Assassin's Mansion, and unlike the previous county order yamen, this assassin's mansion and the yamen were completely separated, and they were not in the same place at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you arrive, please move and get off the bus."

It was still the plain robe civil official who spoke, and his tone sounded straightforward, but it also seemed formal.

"Ouch, I'm tired all the way, I can't close my eyes after a long journey, can Lord Yu send someone to take the hall to rest for a while?"

King Xian took the lead in getting down from the carriage, and then someone opened the curtain without saying a word and escorted down the woman who rolled into a dumpling inside, and the two people in the carriage at the back were lined up in front of the carriage.

"His Royal Highness the King of Xian will forgive you, since everyone is together, let's investigate the case first, after all, this case is widely implicated, if His Royal Highness the King is absent, this night will be wasted!"

Lord Yu refused with a smile on his face, his tone was very tough although kind.

Nan Jinyu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that the white robe washed by this Lord Thorn Shi was better than the civil official next to him, and the whole person looked like a good official with clean sleeves, so he just pasted these words on his face as a façade!

"Huh? It's all a little bit of dinner now, and you're still investigating the case? Lord Yu, you're kidding, right? ”

Xianwang had a bitter face, and when he saw that Xiao Chen was already standing in front of the corpse, he sighed silently.

"His Royal Highness the King should bear more, I have been waiting for a long time, in order to give justice to the deceased."

Lord Yu glanced at the guards hiding behind His Royal Highness the Seventh, and said, "The people involved in the case should explain the whole story by themselves, and the case will not delay the banquet if the case is concluded." ”

"Lord Yu said this......"

"Back to Lord Yu, the mace found on this dancing girl is a weapon, and after it was stolen last night, it has not been summoned until the murder occurred."

Xiao Liuli interrupted Xiao Jin's words and took the initiative to stand in front.

The third brother and the seventh brother are here, what is she afraid of?

Besides, the purpose of this Lord Yu is to investigate the case and not to plant false accusations, he is not afraid of shadows, no matter how they investigate!

"Okay, we all know the basics, let's do it! Autopsy! ”

Lord Thorn Shi nodded slightly, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he was iron-faced and selfless.

"Wait!"

Xiao Chen glanced at Nan Jinyu and said, "The little maid in this hall knows a little bit about medical skills, and she has a long experience with her. ”

"Yes!"

Nan Jinyu glanced at him in surprise, it turned out that the question she asked her to eat was actually for this time?

This demon really knows how to make the best use of things! Does he think he's a forensic doctor? I even let her see the anatomy......

Belly slander is belly slander, the south girl still approached with a straight mouth, pretending to be ugly and gloomy, at first glance I almost thought that he was the one who returned to heaven, and really fulfilled the old saying, the living don't do the dead things, and those who do this business can't be good-looking.

"This ...... Childe, please! ”

Lord Yu was slightly stunned for a moment, his gaze stayed on Nan Jinyu's face for a few seconds, and then he looked away, concentrating on the dissection.

Nan Jinyu bowed slightly, her eyes were always staring at the movements of the work, and although the simple tools were simple and unpretentious, they were easy to use, and they should be a good work for a long time.

"The woman died forty hours ago, and judging by the degree of decomposition of her body, it does not correspond to the time of death, and someone must have been manipulated in it."

He verified the remaining drugs in his limbs and deduced the correct time of death, four days ago and the night.

"Unanimous."

Nan Jinyu said concisely, I thought that all the works would be disemboweled, but I didn't want this person to be able to deduce the accurate time by only taking peripheral blood for experiments, and sure enough, the master is in the folk!

"What about the cause of death?"

Lord Thorn Shiyu asked, his gaze stayed on Xiao Liuli for a moment, and then turned to the two dancing girls with Shisu's hair covering their faces.

"Died of a strange poison, although the mace's wound was fatal, but judging from the scars, it was caused after death."

He said it simply but firmly, and his face was as unmoving as a mountain.

"So, the killer deliberately stole the mace and framed it?"

Lord Thorn Shi was blunt, without the slightest consideration for the feelings of the onlookers.

"Lord Hui, that's true."

After bowing his head, he stepped aside and did not continue.

"This is just an inference, you come up with evidence, evidence to ......"

The woman with half her hair covering her face retorted timidly, as if she had mustered up all her courage, which made people feel a little sorry for them.

"No proof! Our family autopsy never destroys the corpse, and the disembowelment is the butcher's job, and this is my answer. ”

He raised his head arrogantly, as if looking at the corpse twice more would desecrate his ancestral autopsy skills, which made people cry and laugh.

"No evidence...... So the life of the dancing girl is not a life, can you parents and officials take people's lives? ”

The perilla is about to crack, and now there is no room for regret.

The six guards are good to her, but they can't give her the rich life she wants, so it's better to seek wealth in danger and fight for her future!

"Yes, yes! Even if the mace is not a murder weapon, how can it be proved that the six guards did not kill Sister Yin Yin out of jealousy? ”

The thin ugly girl spoke again, as if she had a needle hitting the nail on the head, and asked most of the people present directly.

"That's a good question, so are you sure that the six guards are foolproof based on just one stolen weapon?"

Nan Jinyu yawned and said, taking the anger in her eyes as well.

This judgment is basically the same as her, the time of death and the cause of death are no problem, the problem is that they don't know how to prove Liuli's innocence!

"As a guard, aren't weapons the most important personal item? How many soldiers and guards will lose their weapons without knowing it? ”

Shisu said boldly, her hand shook uncontrollably, and she was violently restrained, hiding her hand in her sleeve robe.

"That's reasonable, come on!"

Lord Yu turned his face thoughtfully, and with a wave of his big hand, a guard stepped forward to take Xiao Liuli down.

"Presumptuous!"

Xiao Jin raised his hand and waved, and the guards who rushed up were knocked to the ground by him, and the surrounding guards instantly drew their swords, and the tense atmosphere was about to erupt.

"Your Highness Seven, what do you mean by this? If you insist on obstructing it, why do you need to hand this case over to this official for trial? ”

Lord Yu had a cold face, and didn't take Nan Jinyu's half bottle of vinegar in his eyes, his pretense here was one of the most powerful people in Dayan, no matter how much they argued, they would not be able to escape the sanctions.

"Because, it's not her at all." Nan Jinyu scoffed.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Jin raise his hand and remove the mask on Xiao Liuli's face, which matched the petite figure with a fresh and beautiful face, which instantly stunned everyone.

"This, this, this ......"

Lord Yu retreated again and again, although he had never seen the sixth princess, he knew what the identity of the person with the golden phoenix inlaid on his forehead was, and this dress was naturally commensurate with her appearance, and he couldn't fake it.

"The sixth princess is playful, and His Royal Highness the Seventh has no choice but to let her pretend to be a guard, just ask a princess who has not left the cabinet, even if she is a big man, how can she care when she loses her mace? Besides, the sixth princess killed someone for a dancing girl, hehe! I don't dare to write like this in the drama book! ”

Nan Jinyu sneered, her eyes stayed on the ugly girl with her face hanging down, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The dancing girl looked at her...... Although she is not murderous, she is like a maggot on the tarsal bone that cannot be erased, and wherever she goes, she feels stared at!
