Three years of filial piety has been completed Liu Sanchang set off for Tokyo, he from the water route to Jiangsu and Zhejiang all the way north, passing through Luzhou, it is said that there is a smart and witty in Luzhou, but born with a dark face and a crescent-shaped young man in his twenties, this person is Bao Zheng.

Lingge Pavilion is the largest brothel in Luzhou, Yelingge is the old bustard of Lingge Pavilion, looks like a flower, is not too old, in his thirties, plays a good pipa, Yelingge is also a long-time person who loves Liu Sanchang, I heard that Liu Sanchang has arrived in Luzhou, so he prepared early.

All the rooms in the Lingge Pavilion are named according to the place name, and all the names of the courtesans are named according to the words and sentences in the three variations of Liusan, for example, the name of this brand Shuangxue is called Southeast, the place where Qianyan lives is called Sanwu, the place where Langqing lives is called Qiantang, the place where Yingluo lives is called Yanliu, the place where Yanxia lives is called Huaqiao, and the place where Fenglian lives is called Chonghu.

In addition to the Lingge Pavilion in this Luzhou City, there are Wanghai Tower, Yingchun Pavilion, Yicui Building, Jinfeng Courtyard, this Wanghai Tower is directly opposite the Lingge Pavilion, Zhan Rong is the head brand of Wanghai Tower, and she loves to sing Liu Sanchang's "Wanghai Tide", she has two younger brothers, one is studying in Jingxian Academy, and the other is separated from them when they were children, and there has been no news for many years.

Just after Liu Sanbian came to Wanghai Tower, that night, I don't know who sneaked in

In Zhan Rong's room, Zhan Rong was strangled to death with a filament in her sleep, and then Zhan Jun, who was studying at Jingxian Academy, was also found dead in Zang Pavilion.

It's night, and the stars and moon are sparse.

Bao Zheng was walking alone on the way back to the study, when suddenly a teenager wearing a night coat covered his face flew out of the woods, and the wooden stick in his hand hit Bao Zheng's head and abdomen.

Bao Zheng was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and at the same time he fell, he tore off the black cloth that the young man covered his face, and when he saw it, he turned out to be a bareheaded, immature face with a righteous temperament, and bright eyes, the young man saw this, and didn't hit him again.

Bao Zheng asked: "Who are you, why did you attack me late at night, and what did you do?"

"My eldest brother was killed by you, I want to avenge him."

"Your eldest brother, who is your eldest brother"?

"My name is Zhan Zhao, Zhan Jun is my eldest brother, Zhan Rong, the top brand of Wanghai Tower, is my eldest sister, I have been separated from them since I was a child, and I was adopted by the master of Xiangguo Temple, and I only recently got the news of them, but it was their death, I know you, it is you Bao Zheng, I heard that you are the smartest person in the Great Song Dynasty, if my eldest brother and eldest sister were not killed by you, please be sure to find out the truth."

Zhan Zhao knelt down as he spoke, and kowtowed to Bao Zheng three times.

Bao Zheng coughed a few times and said: "This investigation is a case, it has its own government to investigate the case, and I can't investigate it as a grass citizen!"

Zhan Zhao moved in a blink of an eye, and smiled lightly: "Then you and you Jingxian Academy except for my eldest brother, all the rest of you are suspicious, and you Bao Zheng is the most suspicious, you are jealous of my eldest brother's good grades and smarter than you, so you have a murderous intention"!

"Eh, I said, why are you a little hairy boy spewing blood?"

"Then you can clear your own grievances, and I will only give you three days."

Zhan Zhao put on the black cloth that covered his face again, jumped forward, and flew into the woods.

The next day, Bao Zheng came to the room of Zhan Rong, the head of Wanghai Building, and stood beside him Zhan Zhao, as well as the Lushan County Commander and the son of the county Order, as well as Liu Sanbian.

Bao Zheng's mother carefully examined Zhan Rong's body, and Bao Zheng asked her mother; "Mother, have you noticed anything, she looks pretty good according to this figure, but her fingers seem to be a little ugly, as if they are not quite the same as ordinary people."

It turned out that this Zhan Rong actually had six fingers on both hands, and the sixth finger of the left hand seemed to have been cut off, and the rest of the fingers were actually some black.

Lushan County Ling Gongsun embarrassed and asked Liu Sanbian softly on the side: "I don't know where this official is, what else is there at home, where are you at the night when Zhan Rong died, what are you doing, and what witnesses are there?"

I sat on this chair that night, and I was always listening to Zhan Rong Fuqin singing "Wanghai Tide" that I wrote, and later, I got drunk, and I didn't know anything about what happened after that, so there were no witnesses."

As soon as the Lushan County Commander heard that this person claimed to be Liu Sanbian, he immediately knelt down to greet him: "It turned out to be Liu Yanei."

, the small ones don't know Mount Tai, and they are offended, or you have a lot of adults."

Everyone came to the library of Jingxian Academy, Bao Zheng's mother carefully examined Zhan Jun's body, and found that this Zhan Jun also had six fingers, and the sixth finger on the right was cut off, but the difference is that the strangulation marks on Zhan Jun's neck were only made after death, but Zhan Rong was strangled to death, unlike the previous Zhan Rong, the rest of Zhan Jun's fingers were not blackened, and everyone was puzzled.

It's night, Lake Pavilion, a pot of wine, three people, three men.

Liu Sanbian thought for a while: "Could it be that the murderer just wanted to kill one of them, but unexpectedly killed one by mistake, the murderer seems to have something to do with Zhanrong, could it be the Lingge Pavilion, the Lingge Pavilion is the largest brothel in Luzhou, and Wanghailou is directly opposite the Lingge Pavilion."

What Brother Liu said is also reasonable, and it is not impossible to do so, but why did the murderer cut off the extra six fingers of two people, this case may not be as simple as we imagined."

Liu Sanbian poured himself a glass of wine, and also poured a glass of wine for Bao Zheng, seeing that Zhanzhao next to Bao Zheng was only a teenager, and he was still a bald head, so he didn't pour him wine: "Forget it, it's better for children not to drink"

Zhan Zhao said mischievously: "Eh, who said that I am a child, I am already fifteen years old, and I will be an adult in five years."

Liu Sanbian counterattacked: "You are a monk, and a monk cannot drink."

The three of them all laughed, Liu San changed to stroke the qin, Bao Zheng fell into contemplation again, Zhanzhao sat on the stone bench and was a little bored, so he went to the lake to watch the fish, and the grumbling piano sounded, and then a woman's scream, and the piano disappeared.

Liu Sanbian ran out of the Huxin Pavilion, not far away he found a woman in red clothes, when Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao arrived, Liu Sanbian said in a deep voice: "It's out of breath, I recognize her, she is the old bustard night Lingge of the Lingge Pavilion, and no one cut off the little thumb of her left hand, although she doesn't have a sixth finger."

"Is the murderer counting with his fingers"?

Zhan Zhao was clever, and found a copper round sign next to Ye Lingge, with a heavenly character written in the circle: "Look at what is that"?

Liu Sanyan looked at it and said straightly: "That is the sign of the Tianji Hall of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, it seems that this case was committed by the Tianji Hall."

Bao Zheng still maintained his skeptical attitude: "It won't be so simple, although the power of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is all over the world, but it is not the Tianji Hall that did it?"

Bao Zheng didn't think about it, walked slowly, and didn't feel that he actually walked to Jiang Yan's room, the assistant teacher of Jingxian Academy, and the sound of the piano came from inside, Bao Zheng walked in, only to see Jiang Yan stroking the piano there, and there was a finger on his right that was wrapped in white gauze.

"I often hear you play this piece, you have told us that the piano and the sound of the piano are alive, so this piece has such a story, can you tell me about it"!

Jiang Yan, the assistant teacher of Jingxian Academy, stroked his scattered hair, he was dressed in white, and said lightly: "This song is called "Qing Xin Decision", admiration and heartache, after a long time, I lived in seclusion in the mountains with my beloved woman, and suddenly one day, seven or eight people, both men and women, came to my house, saying that they were going to take my lady, rummaging around the house for something, but found nothing, one of them, killed my most beloved person, when I woke up, I was in this Jingxian Academy, so I stayed, I served as a teaching assistant at the college and taught everyone piano skills, and this song "Qing Xin Decision" was composed by me for my deceased wife."

Bao Zheng got up: "Excuse me; , I'll go back to the room to sleep first" Bao Zheng didn't think much about it and went back to the room to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

People found that the top brand of the Lingge Pavilion, Shuangxue, died in the southeast room where he lived, and was cut off on the right side and the little finger on the right was cut off, and at the same time, Qianyan also died in the Sanwu room where he lived, and Langqing also died in the Qiantang room where he lived, and the fifth finger on the right side was cut off, and Yingluo also died in the Yanliu room where he lived, but he was cut off nine fingers.

Liu Sanchang thought to himself: "Could it be that Tianjitang really did it, maybe it was for himself."

At this time, Bao Zheng stood up and said: "There is always only one truth, I already know who the murderer is."

There were many people present, Bao Zheng pointed at Liu Sanbian with his hand, and everyone thought that the murderer was Liu Sanchang.

I'm not a murderer, I'm wronged

Bao Zheng said with a serious face: "Every murderer says so, they all say that they are not murderers, and they all say that they are wronged."

Liu San's face turned blue with anger, and Bao Zheng smiled after a while: "I didn't say that Brother Liu is the murderer!"

Liu Sanbian breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

The Lushan County Commander had some questions: "Then who is the murderer of the serial murder case?"

"The murderer is among our group, he, he is Jiang Yan, the assistant teacher of Jingxian Academy, you have been investigating the murderers who killed your wife for many years, and among these people, I am afraid that they are the descendants of the murderer who killed your wife back then, as for Zhan Jun, I am afraid that he found out this secret of yours, so you have to kill him, right?

”！

"Murder pays for life, I can't live anyway, let you deal with it"!

A few days later, the long pavilion outside the city.

"Brother Bao Zhengxian, let's say goodbye, Bao Zheng, you are very smart, I hope you can do more good things for the people in the future, I am waiting for you in Bianjing"!

"Okay, let's see you in Bianjing"!

The sunset, riding a horse, and returning alone.
