After

A fake corpse, a conspiracy around the Jing clan, no one knows what the reason is.

But Zhongzong has already expressed an attitude, a kind of really want to investigate thoroughly, and he actually does not hesitate to protect Jing Wan'er, the only descendant of the Jing family who is still in Chang'an.

"My lord, it's not good." A small guy came to Pei Tan in a panic, "Just now, I came to report that the corpse in the autopsy room was deeply decomposed. ”

The autopsy room itself is a place where the corpse is stayed, built in the darkest and coolest place, and this corpse has a special identity, and it has already been ordered by Pei Tan to wrap it around with ice cubes and preserve it. Besides, it's only been three days now, how can the corpse be deeply decomposed?

Jing Wan'er glanced at Pei Tan and subconsciously followed.

When he arrived at the door of the autopsy room, the first smell of decay made Pei Tan's face change.

After entering, he knelt on the ground, "My lord." ”

Pei Tan walked over and saw that the corpse was blackened, and pus began to melt from many wounds, which was almost impossible.

The corpse had been dead for a month, and it had been stiffened and tightened, but it was unbelievable that there was such a change at this time.

"What's going on?"

He hurriedly turned around and knelt down to talk to Pei: "It is possible that the deceased was fed poison before he died. It was only at this moment that the poison set in. ”

A poison that comes on after death? Is there such a poison?

Jing Wan'er's eyes straightened as she stared at the corpse.

"This is the corpse that His Majesty has given to keep, and now the identity has not been identified, and the corpse has been destroyed, so how do you do things?" Then the master who came scolded him.

In addition to the work in the autopsy room, there are naturally two officials who are under daily care, and they can't say anything at the moment, so they can only kneel on the ground and admit their mistakes.

Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er's expression: "Everyone go down." ”

At this time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "My lord, don't go near the corpse, so as not to poison and contaminate my lord." ”

Pei Tan said: "If it is poisonous, you have already been hit." ”

But this room is said to be a lot less, but I really haven't seen anyone poisoned.

Seeing that he couldn't move, he had to withdraw from the house with the others.

Jing Wan'er walked directly to the corpse at this time, and when she was anxious to stretch out her hand, she was grabbed by Pei Tan's wrist.

"Didn't you just hear the story that the corpse was poisonous?" He stared at Jing Wan'er.

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan: "... But the adults just said that if it is really poisonous, the person who touches the corpse has already been poisoned. ”

Since a few of them are still safe and sound, doesn't it mean that they are fine?

Pei Tan let go of his hand: "It's better to be careful." ”

Jing Wan'er saw the handkerchief that she had thrown next to her, walked over to pick it up, and put it on her hand. Pei Tan looked at her and said, "The corpse is not your brother, this incident has already shown this." ”

Before, they could speculate, but now that the good corpse is decomposing, it is simply three hundred taels of silver here.

Jing Wan'er's outstretched hand paused, but after a moment, she still stretched out and took away the corpse's hand.

Sure enough, the two hands of the corpse were the most rotten. If this is really a strange poison, how can it corrode the parts of the hands.

"Just like the adults said, there are no three hundred taels of silver here." Jing Wan'er lost her bad hand.

Pei Tan looked at it quietly, Dali Temple was heavily guarded, and the coroner's room was guarded by a special officer, and the most important thing was that if anyone went in and out of the coroner's room, it must be very conspicuous. Secretly doing things, unless it's the guards and officials? But if you are suspicious of such a big thing, will the official still take the risk of doing it?

Jing Wan'er obviously thought faster than Pei Tan this time, she raised her head and looked at him: "Is there anyone who can be trusted by the side of adults?" ”

The master book is already a person who eats inside and outside, and he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Now even the post-mortem is in charge...

The cocoon on the right hand of the corpse, even a halfway monk like Jing Wan'er can judge that it is from the hand of a person who has been holding a pen all year round. Now that the corpse had temporarily changed again, he could confuse it by explaining that the corpse had been swallowed before it was alive

Poison.

Pei talked about this Dali Temple, but except for a guard brought by his own family, it seems that few people in this Dali Temple really obey him.

"Pei County." Pei Tan Yu yelled at the void.

Sure enough, the most loyal guard immediately appeared, "Childe, please command." ”

Pei Tan turned to look at him: "Where did you go?" ”

Pei Xian's eyes were gloomy, and he replied after a while, "Just now Gongzi sent him out of the autopsy room, and he has already left Dali Temple." ”

Leaving Dali Temple... Came to the autopsy at a time when he shouldn't have been, and left at a time he shouldn't have left.

Pei Tan's eyes were calm: "Find him, I want to know who instructed him." ”

"Yes." Pei County quickly left the autopsy room.

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan fixedly: "Everything is now, is it still too late?" ”

Destroying corpses and destroying traces is really a poisonous method. Just like the master book just now deliberately reminded Pei Tan, this corpse was asked by His Majesty to be kept by the autopsy of Dali Temple, and now if anything happens, it is Pei Tan's felony protest.

So the target they have to deal with..."It has always been Wan'er and the adult. ”

Pei Tan glanced at the girl, he was born in the Pei family, and the big family behind him was a big target, and there was a conflict of interest at any time.

As if Jing Wan'er said it, Pei Xian didn't return to Dali Temple until nightfall.

It's like suddenly missing.

Pei Xian is a well-trained secret guard of the Pei family, and even if there is a temporary change, he will send a letter to Pei Tan to know. But now, he hasn't heard from him.

Pei Tan sat in the study, his face gloomy.

Jing Wan'er looked at him, this matter had developed so fast, it had only been three days to reach this point, I am afraid that even Pei Tan had not expected it. Otherwise, he would not have been like this.

The worst plan now is that even Pei County will encounter an accident, so there will really be no one available around Pei Tan.

There was silence in the study, and even the oil lamp on the table was about to burn out in the middle of the night.

Pei Tan, who closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.

In this case, Jing Wan'er naturally couldn't sleep, she immediately looked out the window, faintly, there seemed to be an unusual wind.

After that, a dark shadow quickly passed over the corner of her eye, and it seemed to be a person.

The door of Pei Tan's study was pushed open from the outside, Pei Xian rushed into the study wrapped in the evening breeze, and he was not the only one who came back, Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er both saw a body in his arms.

"My lord," Pei Xian said in a deep voice, only then did he see that he was covered in blood, as if he had just come out of the pool of blood, and when he took a step in the study, he left heavy bloody footprints.

Pei Tan immediately got up from behind the bookcase: "Pei County! ”

As this sound fell, Pei Xian quickly turned around and took a wind blade and closed the door of the study.

Then he knelt down on one knee and knelt in front of Pei Tan.

Pei Tan looked at him from top to bottom, until Pei Xian said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are fine, most of them are this girl's blood." ”

Just look at his arm bent down, and the body in his arms was gently placed on the ground by him.

It was a woman, covered in countless blood, with almost no breath in her sideburns, and the most important thing was her face, which made Jing Wan'er and Pei Tan stunned on the spot.

Isn't this woman the Lin Jingjing who came to Dali Temple yesterday and beat the drum to voice her grievances?

"The subordinates tracked down him and found him in a hidden alley," Pei Xian's eyes had a kind of coldness, "He is dead." He was killed by a throat cut and thrown into a basket. ”

He really deserved to die. Eating inside and out, this fate is not surprising.

But if that's all there is to it, Pei County shouldn't have come back until now. If you find out that you are dead, there will inevitably be something to happen later.

Pei Xian said: "The subordinates checked the work and had just been killed, so the subordinates quickly tracked the whereabouts of the killers and followed them all the way." "The secret guard of the Pei family is to track down any clue.

Pei Xian's expression was cold: "There are a large number of killers in that gang, and their skills are not ordinary Jianghu. The people who control them behind their backs will not be mortals

。 That's why the subordinates choose to hide their whereabouts first and find their lair. ”

It turned out that this was the reason why Pei County had no news, and there was really another hidden story.

But what about Lin Jingjing? Jing Wan'er looked at the wounds on the woman's body on the ground, and couldn't help but step forward to visit.

The more Pei Xian continued, the colder his expression became, and he looked at Lin Jingjing in front of him: "But the subordinates found that they didn't return to their master." But... Go back and chase the woman. ”

Hearing this, Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er were shocked.

Hunt down Lin Jingjing?!

Why did you want to hunt down and kill Lin Jingjing, an ordinary woman, things are becoming more and more unbelievable.

Pei Xian said with a cold face: "This woman seems to have known that someone was chasing and killed, and she hid in her maid's room and couldn't come out, but she was still betrayed." The killers chased her down the street and eventually forced her into an alley. ”

Needless to say, Pei Xian must have appeared to save Lin Jingjing, he fought with more than a dozen masters alone, and the blood on his body can be explained.

Don't say that Pei Xian's expression is cold, even Pei Tan's expression is very indifferent. This is in Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so many people are chasing and killing a woman, no matter how secluded the streets and alleys, the Qianniuwei and Jinwuwei who patrol every day, haven't they found it?

Or is there a big man with his hands and eyes who deliberately made the guards of Chang'an blind.

Jing Wan'er hugged Lin Jingjing's body: "My lord, it's that corpse." ”

The only thing that can connect Lin Jingjing with Dali Temple is the corpse. Lin Jingjing went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and cry out her grievances, but was sent away by Pei Tan, and was chased and killed almost the next day.

Is there a more obvious clue than that?

"Knowing that Lin Jingjing went to court to complain, it was just a few officials in the court at that time." Jing Wan'er hung her head and returned to that sentence, how many people in this Dali Temple Pei talked about are trustworthy.
