The emperor stopped his half-yawning and looked at Lou Zhan in a daze.

The drowsiness subsided in a moment.

"Sudden disaster?" The emperor's eyes rolled, and he was about to leave his seat halfway through, but halfway through he sat back down, and his tone could not hide his disappointment and surprise: "Just last night......"

"Yes, last night...... Last night, Weichen went out for a walk after dinner, and when he came back, he heard from the housekeeper that the throat sealer died violently, according to Weichen's preliminary examination, he should have been poisoned to death. ”

The emperor slapped the armchair angrily: "How can this be reasonable! The Emperor was so angry that he gasped.

"The emperor is angry." Lou Zhan Road.

"Humph! How can I not be angry? The things that were delivered to the door were lost in vain! The emperor choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently, and the prince next to him hurriedly gave him a soothing breath and handed him tea.

"Your Majesty, drink some, you can dissipate your anger."

After a while, the emperor's anger subsided, but Lou Zhan didn't know how to speak. The emperor turned pale and rubbed his temples with his thumb.

"Let's go, Lou Aiqing, you have done your best in this matter, the responsibility is not on you, it is my negligence, you should step down." In the end, the emperor reluctantly chose to accept his fate.

Princess Celestia has been missing for about two months now.

"Wechen said goodbye." Lou Zhan stepped back in small steps, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

There was a little father-in-law who hurriedly came in from the outside, passed by him, and before leaving the hall, Lou Zhan heard the little father-in-law say: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Lin Kingdom ask to see." ”

Lou Zhan's footsteps paused slightly, the envoy of the Lin Kingdom, I haven't seen him for a long time, it seems that they can't wait, but the eldest princess hasn't found it yet......

As soon as he returned to the general's mansion, he saw that there were many domestic servants gathered in the front yard, and the guards guarding the courtyard were also outside.

Next to the throat sealer stood a middle-aged man of medium stature, with a dark beard, carrying a wooden box in his hand and staring at the corpse on the ground with his two eyes. It wasn't until Lou Zhan approached that the man raised his face, and what he saw was a pair of eyes with a "bad spirit", and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he felt stunned when he saw these eyes at first glance, these eyes were staring straight at Lou Zhan, but Lou Zhan was still expressionless, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Fei is the work of the county government?" ”

The corners of Wang Chengzuo's mouth rose slightly, revealing an expression that could barely be counted as a smile, and then knelt on one knee, raised his hands at the level of his forehead, and said, "Grass people Wang Kui see the general." ”

The housekeeper stepped forward and introduced, "General, this is the little Wang Yanzuo who was invited from the county government." ”

Lou Zhan nodded and said, "Get up and talk." ”

"General Xie." Wang Qizuo straightened his waist, then opened the wooden box he brought with him, and found a mirror, and then he took the mirror, through the mirror, from the top of the corpse's head to the soles of his feet, and finally got up and said: "According to the old decay, there are no scars on the surface of the corpse, and there is no sign of bleeding, but the corpse is swollen and the complexion is dark. ”

Lou Zhan shifted his gaze from the corpse to Qi Zuo, and saw him squinting his eyes, stroking his beard, and speaking in a slow tone, like an old gentleman teaching in the school.

"So...... What was the cause of his death? At the moment when the housekeeper couldn't help but speak, Lou Zhan spoke.

The butler had no choice but to withdraw what he was about to ask, and together with the rest of the people beside him, he looked at the servant who had been invited from the county government with wide eyes.

Wang Qizuo squinted his eyes, looked at the courtyard, and then hugged his fists and said: "According to the old man's judgment, in this case, he died of poisoning." ”

Lou Zhan glanced at the people gathered here without a trace, and saw that all of them looked confused, and none of them seemed to be spies who had mixed in.

Glancing at Lou Zhan, seeing that the other party didn't speak, Wang Yanzuo continued: "Such corpses have never seen this one, most of them are complete in appearance, but in fact, their muscles and bones are all wasted, and their flesh and blood are rotten, even if it is this kind of weather, within three days, it will rot and grow maggots!" ”

Hearing this, the subordinates took a few steps back with their faces like dirt, for fear that they would touch the corpse.

Lou Zhan frowned, in fact, he still had hope for the map in his heart, and he didn't want to see the corpse of the throat sealer decomposing early.

"Housekeeper, buy a better coffin, find a feng shui treasure for him, bury it, don't delay." Almost without hesitation, Lou Zhan commanded.

"Yes, General." The butler answered.

He packed up the box, carried it on his back, said goodbye, and the housekeeper sent him out of the house.

The moonlight was not beautiful tonight, and the crescent moon was hidden behind the clouds, showing not a single light.

It was nearly midnight. In the Taishi's Mansion, there is a room still lit by candlelight, and through the gauze window, you can vaguely see the figure sitting with a pen inside. After a while, the figure left its seat, walked to the door, opened the door, and quickly closed it, this person was Bai Wenyun who stayed up all night to check the accounts. He followed the gravel path all the way to the dark place, and when he was done using the toilet, he quickly returned.

As soon as he walked to a plum tree, Bai Wenyun saw another figure walking out of the path not far ahead, this figure was wearing a hat on his head, and his body was wrapped in the slightest, but Bai Wenyun still saw that this person was his father, Bai Fengyi.

It's so late, where is my father going? Bai Wenyun thought secretly.

saw that Bai Fengyi was going in the direction of the mansion, so Bai Wenyun thought for a while, and then followed, he really wanted to see what unsightly secrets his father had.

Out of the mansion gate, Bai Fengyi walked to the right. On the right is the Fang Market in the center of the Imperial City, Bai Wenyun knows it, but at this time, in addition to casinos and brothels, there are several taverns in the Fang Market, whose store has not closed yet?

Bai Wenyun followed all the way and guessed, and walked like this for about half an hour, only to see the person in front of him suddenly turn into an alley.

Stayed in place for a while, and then Bai Wenyun also turned into the alley, looking around, it was pitch black, quiet, and there was not even a lantern to illuminate.

"Knock knock."

Suddenly, an unusually loud knock on the door echoed in the alleyway, which frightened Bai Wenyun and hurriedly withdrew from the alley and hid behind the wall.

"Knock knock."

Again, these three rhythmically rhythmic knocks on the door, as if they were deliberately knocking.

"Knock knock—"

This time, the voice was lengthened, but soon, Bai Wenyun heard the sound of opening the door - "squeak", but it quickly closed again.

After waiting for a while, he found that there was no sound in this alleyway, so Bai Wenyun showed his head and looked at the place where the knock was made before, but it was dark and dark, and he didn't even see a ghost.

Where is the figure of the father?
