Ye Xinlan knew that since she had come to this point, she had to fight to the end.

As for the reason why Ming Xuanze put himself under house arrest, on the surface, he naturally committed too many crimes and needed to be imprisoned in his residence to be punished.

But Ye Xinlan knew that one of them was that Ming Xuanze just didn't want her to spoil the good things he and Gu Feiyan had done.

As for the second, it is natural that the Queen Mother sent Ming Xuanze to investigate the murder case.

After all, it's been so many days, so presumably Ming Xuanze already knows who the prisoner is, right?

Ye Xinlan thought, bored and sitting in the room in a daze.

Sitting in the house, you can naturally feel the movement of someone guarding the door.

I don't know if it's outside Ming Xuanze's door or just those palace guards. Ye Xinlan knew that she needed to wait a little longer for the flaw. I'm afraid it's not yet time for me to go out in front of everyone.

As Ye Xinlan expected, there was indeed a new development in the homicide case, and after Ming Xuanze contacted the local yamen, he got something new from the officials who verified the matter.

The murderer had done evil in the city a few days before, first by despising the young lady of a large family, and then by slaughtering the whole family without mercy and without humanity.

Two days had passed by the time the government officials visited the deceased's home, and the house was covered with dried and weathered blood. This also made the officials deeply aware of the cruelty of the murderer, so they put their hopes on Ming Xuanze.

Ming Xuanze held his cheeks and pondered for a moment, according to what he has learned so far, the murderer will only attack the ladies of large families, and after tarnishing the innocence of others, he will consider whether to keep the lives of the family according to his mood. Judging from the analysis of personality, the murderer is quite self-conscious and casual. If you want to take him down easily, I am afraid that you will have to follow the murderer's path first, and use means to lure the murderer into the bait first.

"Your Majesty, how's it going?" The official messenger watched Ming Xuanze's reaction with a gaze of continued prayer, this was the first time that the imperial court sent that kind of big man with a lot of money down, he was naturally convinced that with Ming Xuanze's ability, he would definitely be able to get the matter out and arrest the murderer. "How are you thinking about it, do you have eyebrows now?"

"Except for the young lady who was despised a few days ago, is there anything else in this city that everyone is beautiful?" Ming Xuanze gestured in a verbal gesture and said, "That kind of posture is more gorgeous and can attract the attention of the murderer?" ”

"Like Concubine Chen?" The official of the yamen stroked his beard and smiled, pointing in the direction of the gate.

Ming Xuanze was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Gu Feiyan leaning against the door with a long sword around him, listening to his analysis with the official, and said lightly: "What are you doing here, I shouldn't agree with you interfering in this matter, right?" ”

"You have to do a little bit, after all, it's just for the court." Gu Feiyan, like Ming Xuanze, walked over without any emotion on his face, thinking that it should be because yesterday's anger has not disappeared.

After all, I've said that kind of thing.

Ming Xuanze sat in a wheelchair and thought so, only to see Gu Feiyan come to the two of them with steps, and slowly spoke: "I know what you think, it should be necessary to find a dignified woman as a bait to attract the attention of the murderer, and then set up a game to catch him, right?" ”

Seeing that Ming Xuanze and the official nodded and acquiesced, Gu Feiyan continued: "If the identity of the murderer can be confirmed and arrested, I can try." After all, no matter how I say it, I don't think I'm going to be worse than the big families here. It's everyone's girlfriend, what do you think? ”

Listening to what Gu Feiyan said, the officials of the yamen were naturally a little surprised, and now they were worried that they couldn't find the bait that could get rid of the murderer, but someone could volunteer to come up. How can it not be gratifying?

What's more, judging from Gu Feiyan's appearance alone, he can definitely fascinate the murderer, not to mention that there is no need to let the daughters of those big families get involved in danger.

The official of the yamen nodded, and wanted to immediately agree to Gu Feiyan's proposal, but was directly rejected by Ming Xuanze. Only then did the official remember that Gu Feiyan was Ming Xuanze's concubine.

"Why not?" Gu Feiyan saw that Ming Xuanze rejected him, and said with a cold expression: "Why not?" ”

"It's too dangerous, you know there's no way I'm going to let you go." Ming Xuanze looked directly into Gu Feiyan's eyes and said.

"You know? It turns out that His Majesty actually knows that this will put people in danger..." Gu Feiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted coldly, obviously knew what he said, and said slowly: "After all, you can use your own concubine as bait and ignore it without saving it, just to control another woman's affectionate person, I thought you didn't know how to write the words danger, and I need me to teach Your Majesty." ”

"How long are you going to be obsessed with this?" Ming Xuanze asked in a deep voice, "It's over." ”

"Yes, I don't think it's over, Your Majesty. I shouldn't have been used by you yet, and you've squeezed out every drop, right? I haven't been eaten and wiped clean. Gu Feiyan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled stiffly.

"No need, you don't have that value to me right now." Seeing the smile on Gu Feiyan in front of him, Ming Xuanze only felt panicked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head sideways and pulled up the bearing and said, "Ye Xinlan came forward in this matter." ”

Behind Ming Xuanze, staring blankly at the back of the leaving, Gu Feiyan lowered his head and clenched his right fist tightly.

....

"Let me come forward instead of being the bait that lured the murderer? Oh, it's ridiculous, why do I need to listen to you? Leaving from the yamen, Ming Xuanze immediately found Ye Xinlan's request, but Ye Xinlan sneered and refused. Ye Xinlan continued: "Who is the one who imprisons me in this room every day and keeps me closed? Dare to ask Your Majesty, why would the little girl do such a thing for you at the expense of her innocence? ”

"Make up for it." Ming Xuanze looked at Ye Xinlan with a calm gaze, and said, "Otherwise, what are you doing here?" If the murderer can also be arrested because of this, I can write off what you did to Gu Feiyan before. ”

"A write-off? You can't buy or sell. Ye Xinlan chuckled and approached Ming Xuanze's façade and said, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, you also have the handle in my hands, what will happen if you disclose this matter to Gu Feiyan?" ”

"It's a matter of facts." Ming Xuanze said with a flat face: "What conditions do you want to open, just say it." ”

Chapter 410: Hunting for the Murderer

"Well, if you can sleep with me in my room for the night, I'll help. How is it? ”

After pondering for a moment, Ming Xuanze nodded slowly and said, "Okay." ”

After a night, Ming Xuanze opened Ye Xinlan's door, pushed and pulled the wheelchair and left the room neatly dressed, but Ye Xinlan was a little disheveled leaning on the head of the bed, her hair was scattered, and she said in a deep voice of annoyance in a somewhat vicious tone: "You Ming Xuanze am afraid that he is not a monk, he is still indifferent all night, is it true that I Ye Xinlan is not attractive, I can't compare to Gu Feiyan, or is your Ming Xuanze's determination really so strong?" ”

After one night, although nothing happened to Ming Xuanze and Ye Xinlan, Ye Xinlan still followed the agreement with Ming Xuanze and agreed to be her identity as a bait.

And after Ming Xuanze came out of Ye Xinlan's room, he also took the lead in finding the local yamen and officials, hoping that through the cooperation of local officials, the plan of using Ye Xinlan as a bait would be perfectly implemented.

Based on the previous cases of the murderer against the victims in the city, it can almost be concluded that he only picked on the ladies of large families.

Because of this, Ming Xuanze needed to contact the forces of local officials and negotiate with those rich landlords in advance.

After all, this kind of thing is only a little convincing if the official is right, but if you want to get acquainted with the relationship, I'm afraid it's better to use the local snake forces here to cover it up. So, he led people to find the landlord.

"So that's it, although there may be offense, but we also hope that the landlord can cooperate, after all, this lord also came from the capital on purpose, not to mention the big celebrity around the emperor, if he really got his help this time to arrest the murderer. Aren't you helpful to the people of this kind of city, and even to the lord? Do you think it? The official beside Ming Xuanze negotiated in front of the landlord.

"Yes, from the imperial court, I can't see it." As soon as he heard that Ming Xuanze was a big man from the imperial court, the landlord became a little interested.

He looked at Ming Xuanze slightly, then returned his gaze to the official, and asked: "Little brother, since you are from the imperial court, you should have heard the phrase "no merit and no luck" in the book, let us farmers give you the house to use, then it is naturally easy to discuss." But you have to give a little bit of a tip, right? Otherwise, sir, we farmers can't work for you in vain if we farmers work so hard all day long. What do you see? ”

Seeing the greedy look in the eyes of the landlord in front of him, Ming Xuanze nodded slightly, threw out a bag of silver taels, and said, "This money is more than enough to cover this land, you can use it." We'll only need this house for a few days. ”

The landlord counted the silver in the bag and was suddenly overjoyed, but he didn't expect the man in the wheelchair in front of him to be so open-minded, and said: "Enough is enough, the two officials can use it as they please, even if they demolish this house." ”

Ming Xuanze was pushed by the officials into the courtyard of the landlord's house, looked around, and saw that the surrounding pretense was quite magnificent, Ming Xuanze nodded at the officials, and said: "Ye Xinlan's fake identity is arranged here, and then in order to lure the murderer to appear, you can create momentum for her." Remember, be sure to spread the news, so that the whole city knows about this landlord's house, and this distant relative who looks like a fairy has just come here in the recent days to stay here for a few days. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the official gestured, he followed Ming Xuanze's instructions to notify the officers and soldiers in the gate of the city tower, and they put up lanterns at the gate of the city tower to put up a welcome ceremony.

Ming Xuanze's plan is very simple, after packaging Ye Xinlan as a distant lady who only stays in the city to visit relatives for a few days, he will spread the news, and at this juncture, eighty percent will attract the attention of the murderer.

And in order not to startle the snake, Ming Xuanze deliberately refused the assistance of the yamen in the arrest procedure, and when the time came, he and the secret guard could directly catch turtles in an urn when the murderer entered Ye Xinlan's house.

However, there is another problem that he can't appear in front of Ye Xinlan at the same time as the two secret guards, but Ye Xinlan is very clear about how many people he has with him, which means that he may only rely on the secret guards or arrest the murderer by himself in disguise, otherwise he will expose his legs.

Just as Ming Xuanze was thinking about countermeasures, to Ming Xuanze's surprise, Gu Feiyan actually had to take the initiative to participate in the procedure of arresting the murderer. In this regard, Ming Xuanze did not say anything in particular, but just nodded and responded.

As a result, the division of labor that day had Ming Xuanze and Gu Feiyan, who were disguised as secret guards, guarding the blind spot outside the door, waiting for the arrival of the murderer.

The secret guard is responsible for intercepting and chasing the murderer, as for Ye Xinlan, she is naturally the bait that lures the murderer into the trap. Everything is easy to enter the procedure.

At night, when Ming Xuanze and Gu Feiyan were in front of Ye Xinlan's door, they suddenly heard a rustling sound from the paper window, and someone slipped in in the dark.

After the man turned into the courtyard of the landlord's house, he tiptoed on the corridor and opened the door of Ye Xinlan's room. After knowing that the murderer had fallen into the trap, Ming Xuanze nodded at Gu Feiyan, pulled out the folding knife on his waist, and disappeared into Ye Xinlan's room with Gu Feiyan.

I only heard a clanging sound in the room, and the two cold weapons collided together, resulting in several close confrontations. When fighting with the murderer, Gu Feiyan and Ming Xuanze were both injured to varying degrees, but the murderer was not much better, and when he just wanted to step on his steps and struggle to escape, he was directly arrested by the secret guards who arrived at the scene.

And Ming Xuanze also took the lead in returning to the room before Ye Xinlan lit the candlelight, took off his disguise and rushed over in a wheelchair. At this point, the murderer's matter has come to an end for the time being.

However, Ming Xuanze did not directly hand over to the yamen, but together with the secret guards, he personally found an empty room and interrogated the mastermind behind the murderer.

Ming Xuanze can feel that the characters behind him are definitely not simple, and they should have a lot of background.

And there were only two people left in the house, Gu Feiyan and Ye Xinlan. Gu Feiyan just wanted to move away and go back to the room, but Ye Xinlan stopped Gu Feiyan, pretended to be a little pity, and said with a sneer at Gu Feiyan.

"You're really pitiful. is obviously Ming Xuanze's concubine, and she is waiting hard before and after her saddle, but so what? Didn't he honestly fall asleep with me in my room yesterday? ”
