When Xu Chu got up, she was still a little apprehensive, but when she heard the knock on the door outside, she instantly sobered up.

Not surprisingly, outside the door was still Xiao Qinglang, who was already ready to go.

A few beams of sunlight fell through the towering trees in the courtyard, leaving mottled marks on him, and flocked to Xu Chu with the usual enthusiasm of the scorching heat. It's like every time she sees Xiao Qinglang waiting with her chest crossed, her heart is moved.

The two had breakfast, and then went to Dali Temple together.

The so-called Yamen of the Three Law Divisions is both external and internal, and although there are accusations and distinctions, the Yamen is located in one place. Only the inner court was set up in the palace. Therefore, it is said that it is to Dali Temple, in fact, the waiter of the criminal department has been waiting here at this time.

"Lord Wang, according to what the prince said to Miss Xu, the lower official has sent someone to guard the slaughterhouse that may be involved in the case. Moreover, several butchers are already waiting for questioning in various places. Sikong Han saw Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu coming, and after saluting, he replied.

"And according to the file sent by the prince to the Criminal Department last night, the lower official has also sent someone to find the traces of the blood-sucking woman, but there is no news yet."

Xiao Qinglang bowed his head and set his eyes on Tang Qiaozheng.

Seeing this, Tang Qiao immediately said, "The post stable did lose a horse, and that horse was eliminated from the army, and it never made a mistake when going out. It was only on the night of Muzaipair's disappearance that he lost his trace and has not returned. ”

In other words, the idea of having the horses lead the way to the scene of the crime cannot be realized.

"I received a letter sent by the prince last night, and the lower officials personally investigated the situation in Zhao Shaoqing's mansion. The butcher who sent meat to the Zhao family was the Wu butcher, and the day before the envoys were killed, he would send meat to the Zhao family. ”

"Also, there's news from the caravan in Doriku. Twenty days earlier, the caravan had passed through the capital, during which time Doriku had sold fine furs and other goods to many prefectures in the capital, and the profits were quite large. However, the night before Egan Baldi died, he suddenly disappeared, and with it disappeared the silver money from the sale of goods. Therefore, the people of his caravan thought that he had fled with the money, and for this reason he also went to the nearby yamen to report to the official. Sikong Han paused, hesitated for a moment and continued, "At that time, there was a person who bumped into him, and he left with a man in a brocade robe. ”

Xiao Qinglang sat at the top of the position, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and his eyes were deep and thoughtful.

"In addition to the brocade robe, does that person have other features?"

According to his guess, this person is most likely two people. One is the faked death of Egan Baierdi. The second is the unrecognizable person in the capital who was depicted by Zhang Xiucai after the murder of Zhang. Of course, it is very likely that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, or his close henchmen.

If this is the case, the purpose of Yigan Baierdi's visit to Dazhou is even more questionable. If he really accepted the support of the people behind the scenes, then it would naturally be impossible for him to be sincere in his devotion to the emperor.

Sikong Han cautiously glanced at Xiao Qinglang's face, and saw that he didn't have any attitude, so he continued to reply, "Because it was too dark, that person didn't see the appearance of the person who was looking for Duoliku. However, according to him, Doriku groveled to the man and seemed terrified. On the other man's boot, there was a bead on it, which looked very dazzling in the dark night. ”

"According to the man's description, the lower official has asked the painter to paint a portrait of the mysterious man. Height and body type are marked. After speaking, Sikong Han handed the painting paper rolled in his hand to Xiao Qinglang's desk.

Xiao Qinglang unfolded the drawing paper, and with just a casual glance, he had a consensus with Xu Chu. Without delay, he asked Wei Guang to go back to the palace to get the portrait he got from Zhang Xiucai, and the two were slightly compared together, and they were very similar.

"It's him again!"

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned and said, "If Doriku is really a pawn of the person behind the scenes, then why did the mysterious man take him away from the caravan, and how was he killed?" ”

"And the silver and gold that he hath collected?"

If he was really promoted by the people behind the scenes, and the mysterious man was also the one who obeyed the orders of the people behind the scenes, then his death would be even more unreasonable. How could he be left alone and fall into the hands of the murderer? How could he willingly take such a drug?

You must know that at the time of the autopsy, there was no sign that several of the murdered envoys had been coerced into taking the poison of the debuti. At least, there was no sign of coercion on the few bodies that could be examined before they were fully decomposed.

Xiao Qinglang frowned, looked at Xu Chu and reminded him, "Duoliku is from Yumen Town, and when Naibi was lost at a young age, his destination was also Yumen Town. Even, he was in the army at the guard in Yumen Town."

In other words, it is highly likely that Doriku was acquainted with Nabi. Therefore, the reason why the mysterious man was able to make an appointment with Doriku was not necessarily just because of the mastermind behind it, but perhaps because of Nabi.

If this is the case, Nabi's fame in the north may also be because of the masterpiece of the people behind the scenes. Perhaps, the traitors who corresponded with Nabi back then were not only those who were found out and disposed of, but it is very likely that there were those buried deeper

Xu Chu'er pursed his lips, his eyes became cold, that is to say, the seventeen countries in Northern Xinjiang were supported and controlled by that person, and perhaps it was not only the Yigan Baierdi tribe. Or, in other words, the arrival of the envoy group this time was originally harboring evil intentions and wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Or, the envoys of this trip, even the princess and the princess, were arranged by that person. It's all the people he can control

He is very contemptuous of the Great Zhou royal family and the present day, so much so that he wants to let a princess who has already had a head and tail with someone to give the royal family a hard slap.

Xu Chu was silent, and it was only after a while that he sketched a psychological portrait of the man on the codex.

He was arrogant and arrogant, and he thought highly of himself. Good at strategy, proficient in the way of employing people, and proud of talents. What's more, he has an old grudge against the royal family, so much so that he wants to trample the royal face under his feet.

Judging from the current man's methods and experience, he is from a very noble background, with a family background and intricate resources. At least, what he said in Da Zhou still has a lot of weight, and it can even attract some people to follow him loyally.

Cold-blooded, decisive, cunning, paranoid and daring.

Xiao Qinglang watched her write and analyze, and as the inferences fell, his expression became more and more solemn.

"Maybe I know why the envoys were killed silently, and why the murderers killed the envoys of Northern Xinjiang again and again without being discovered." Her face was firm, and her gaze was cold, "From the beginning, those envoys didn't plan to leave the Great Zhou alive. ”

"If they are all under the orders of one person, or if they have to obey someone for the good of the tribe. Then, it can explain why it was easy to trick a few people out of the post station, and let a few people take the post smoothly. ”

Xu Chu's heart flashed with a lot of speculation, and finally sighed and said, "This dilemma of several lives in a row should be just the beginning"

That man's goal, self-evident, must have been to encompass all those close to the emperor and his confidants. As for the purpose, Xu Chu was a little unclear for a while.

If it was really for the throne and for rebellion, then why did he give birth to so many incidents and even expose himself?

But if it's not for the throne, what is he for? Could it be that it is so much troubled, just for fun, or just to provoke the royal family?

She couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Qinglang had an understanding. His hands on the desk curled up slightly, and it took a moment to restrain the wind and frost under his eyes. There are some things that he doesn't want to get involved in the case at hand, but he didn't expect that person to be even more impatient than him

Several people re-sorted out the facts of the case before sighing, "I didn't expect that what should have been an intricate case would be sorted out so quickly." Even, even the scope of the murderer has been delineated. ”

Xiao Qinglang glanced at Tang Qiaozheng, who was speaking, lightly, and said with a smile: "If you are cautious enough, or if the examiner of the Three Law Divisions can really see the corpse experience to the extreme as you say, why worry about not being able to find clues?" ”

As soon as he said this, Tang Qiaozheng, who had just given birth to a smug expression, looked ugly again. It's a pity that they can't refute this if they want to.

Who would have thought that the four inspectors of the Third Law Division would inspect the bones, but they were not as clear as a woman?

Fortunately, Xiao Qinglang didn't dwell too much on this matter, and directly brought people to interrogate a few butchers.

Just when a few people left the yamen, they happened to run into Xiao Mingzhu and Ning Subai, who came in a hurry.

Compared with Xiao Mingzhu, who was arrogant and went to the Three Law Divisions on an errand, Ning Subai was much weaker.

Yesterday, he was frightened by a skull and lost his temper in front of Xiao Qinglang, although he was comforted by the little guy, but he still muttered in his heart. Now that I see Xiao Qinglang, I am three points weaker first.

Thinking that in order to be able to get into Xiao Qinglang's eyes, he asked the cook to make a lot of skull pastries overnight last night, and forcibly endured the nausea, touched and studied. By this morning, I was able to eat the skull without changing my face.

Not to mention the side, just said that when I was eating the skull pastry by myself this morning, it happened that the little guy came in to serve him. This time, it was not his turn to be afraid, the little guy was directly frightened and fainted, and he still hasn't woken up.

Thinking like this, his waist couldn't help but straighten up.

"Lord Wang, I'm not afraid of that skull this time, even if I drink in front of that head, I will definitely be able to do it."

Xiao Qinglang glanced at him lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down, and then his thin lips moved slightly, "Since this is the case, then you and Mingzhu should go to the gluttonous building first." If you can, let the shopkeeper leave the pig blood and cow blood that he recently bought."
