He had never thundered and was angry, but such lukewarm words made people even more frightened.

The envoy bowed in fear, and nodded in response in cold sweat. At this time, no matter what the truth is, they can only admit it. Who let the original selection, when Northern Xinjiang and relatives were selected, be so full of words?

The emperor sneered, "The sincerity of the northern frontier is really special, but it impresses me." ”

Say it, and he slammed a letter on the imperial case in front of the envoys of Northern Xinjiang.

The envoys who can send envoys to the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if they are not proficient in the Great Zhou culture, must be able to understand some Great Zhou characters. What's more, among these four people, there is also a Wenchen who studied in the Great Zhou, so several people naturally read the words on the fold clearly.

The emperor got up and walked slowly, until he reached the envoy, he was calm and angry, and said with joy and anger: "The most noble princess worshiped in the northern Xinjiang is a person who has fornicated with others and has a son. I would like to ask you, what do you want in the north? Do you want to provoke me, or do you want to use this cholera to make the Great Zhou Palace? If you can't explain this matter, then don't leave Da Zhou, as for the northern Xinjiang side, I will naturally send someone to find an explanation! ”

At this time, his face was calm and silent, and he couldn't see the helplessness and connivance when he faced Xiao Qinglang before.

In the main hall of the imperial study, there was silence, even if it was an envoy who still wanted to quibble, after reading the fold and the autopsy list, he also held his breath, knelt on the ground and did not dare to move again.

If it was said that it was apprehensive before, then at this time, several people want to die.

They are not reckless men who can only play fists and feet, and naturally know that if it is really what they said, then there is no doubt that they will personally hold the handle in front of the eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor.

Moreover, the words of the Great Zhou Emperor already contained murderous intent. How does this keep them from panicking?

Don't say that the anger in the hearts of the Great Zhou Emperor, they can't bear it. Even if they are lucky enough to return to the northern frontier, I am afraid that the whole northern frontier will blame them for this, and even use this incident as an excuse to conquest their tribe

For a moment, the faces of the four of them were as pale as paper, and they only felt the shadow hanging over their bodies, like a big knife hanging over their heads.

"Liu Deming, send a few envoys out of the palace. In addition, pass on my will to let the Jingzhao Mansion and the Dragon Guard Army withdraw. Since several envoys have brought guards, they don't need the protection of the Great Zhou soldiers when they want to come! ”

A terrifying haze condensed in the air in the hall, but it finally dissipated in the emperor's sneer. Outside the hall, a thunderclap sounded for no reason, making the thunderstorm day more and more depressing.

The bluestone paved in the hall is as clean as a mirror, vaguely reflecting the pale faces of the four of them, and naturally the sweat beads of several people falling are very clear.

"Honorable Emperor of the Great Zhou, we"

Before the rugged man led by him pretended to open his mouth freely, he saw a cold look swept by the emperor, without any emotion, only majesty and murderous aura, which made him instantly dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Liu Deming hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully sent a few people away. It is more appropriate to say that it is to send it away, but to say that it is to drive it away.

The four envoys knew that they were unreasonable, so they could only leave the palace in disgrace at this time. And after returning to the post station, I saw that the guards who were originally on the third floor and the outer three floors were really withdrawn cleanly, and in an instant, the faces of several people who were supported by them collapsed.

In the next few days, a few people were really panicked, and Mo said that he chased after the officials of the Three Law Division and Honglu Temple again, but he didn't dare to take a step out of the door. And the personal guards are accompanied day and night, even if they go to the toilet, they will often let people guard outside.

Of course, that's all for later.

The night was falling, and the thunder was ringing in the sky, as if it was about to split half the sky. When there is such a thunderstorm, there is naturally no one on the street, and it is in front of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, which specializes in night business, is very quiet.

In the palace, it wasn't until after dinner time that Xu Chu rubbed his sore neck and stepped out of the door. Naturally, there is also a head reconstructed from clay, as well as a simple face restoration map.

At this time, Xiao Qinglang had just checked the roster screened by Tang Qiaozheng and several people, and focused on picking out a file of merchants who often went to Great Zhou and Southern Xinjiang in northern Xinjiang. At the same time, he went to Zhu Bi to sketch on the file sent by the Ministry of War, and listed the doubts analyzed by him and Xu Chu.

Tang Qiaozheng, Sikong Han and Lou An were all very curious about Xu Chu's so-called skull restoration technique, and they didn't believe it in their hearts, just thinking that she was playing tricks. However, because of the prince's face, they are not good at questioning directly, so they are reluctant to leave at this time.

"Lord Wang, I wonder if Miss Xu can restore the face of that head tonight?" Tang Qiaozheng hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Xiao Qinglang and asked.

They had already drunk a belly of tea in the prince's study, because the prince had not prepared their meals, so several of them were still empty at this time. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if you waited any longer and couldn't wait for the results?

Xiao Qinglang glanced at a few people, raised his hand and touched the tea that was a little cold, and said, "The three law divisions have been jointly investigating the case for nearly a month, but they haven't found it at all. But I didn't expect that the three of them would take it for granted today to put their expectations on a female servant, which is the only time since this king took charge of the three law divisions. ”

I have to say that his words hit the sore spot of Tang Qiaozheng and others with just one sentence. Several people were dumbfounded for a moment, their faces were a little embarrassed, and they could only hang their heads in annoyance and not argue. You must know that it is already a benefit for the prince of his own family to accuse them so calmly.

In the past, I was afraid that they could say that they were ashamed of their ancestors

But also, after all, when they investigated the case, they did not find any useful clues. What's more, on the body of the minister, no clues were found.

As soon as the prince came back, not only did a young female servant find out the problem, but even the scope of the murderer was delineated. It's not clear, but at least the direction is already there.

Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but snort, and no one dared to speak again. Just continue to look through the files in hand, and continue to look for the roster of soldiers transferred from the military headquarters who have been to both the southern and northern battlefields.

Although the scribe has searched it, the list has been reduced from thousands to hundreds, and even reduced to more than 100 under the circle of the prince. However, it is not easy to look at the lives of each person one by one.

Nabe's body was thrown into the graveyard, where it is recorded that there were nineteen graves. In the military system, five people are a team, and its commander is the army commander; Twenty people for one tithe, and a hundred for hundreds. And the nineteen graves, the closest is one. And accordingly you will find in the dossier, and mainly those who died in the north, and you will find something. ”

As for why he died in the northern Xinjiang, it was naturally because the murderer obviously hated the northern Xinjiang. And the source of this hatred is most likely due to the war, and it appeared in the war with the northern frontier.

As for why there were nineteen graves, he had a little guess now, but he was not sure. One is that one person survived by luck and knew the secrets of northern Xinjiang, so that he could trick people out of the post station again and again, and then take revenge. Second, it is the families of those who died, looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

In fact, there is also a speculation that Nabi, the so-called prophet, must have a relationship with those nineteen. But so far, there are no clues to support it, so he doesn't dare to say it easily.

He clicked on the files of several murdered envoys under his hand, and his heart was slightly solemn.

Originally, he thought that the murderer's method of killing was just imitation, and the selected envoys should also be accidental. However, after reading the top-secret files of several people, he felt even more that the murderer had already planned for a long time.

Who to kill, when to kill, and by what means is planned.

And all the methods are based on capital punishment. However, it also responded to the methods of those envoys on the battlefield and the treatment of the prisoners of the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but dim, and now there were seven dead. There are also four surviving envoys, and the murderer will never let go easily, so he wants to see how the murderer will do it!

When Xu Chu came over with his head in his hand, he felt that the atmosphere in the study was solemn, and the three adults had a bitter look on their faces. You don't have to think about it to know that a few people are afraid that they will run into a wall in front of Xiao Qinglang again.

She raised her eyebrows, and directly placed the restored head on the desk in front of Xiao Qinglang.

"Lord, this is my reconstruction of the appearance of the deceased's skull, but because there are no traces of other facial features such as scars, it is impossible to be completely identical to the original."

Xiao Qinglang, whose eyes were dark and his face was cold just now, looked at the appearance of the head for a moment, looked up at Tang Qiaozheng and said, "Take the files of the merchants from Yumen Town to and from the capital and southern Xinjiang. ”

Tang Qiaozheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over the head, and after a while, he hurriedly took out a volume from the file that had been sorted out, and then pulled out the shadow graphics in it. However, he saw that his face was not much different from Xu Chu's restored skull.

At this time, not to mention Tang Qiaozheng, even Lou An, who thought of himself very highly, was dumbfounded. He got up and stepped forward to compare the picture with the drawing, and the shock in his heart was indescribable, someone could really restore the skull to its face?

Although it can't be confused with the real, it is at least very recognizable, and it is no problem to search for people.

After confirming that this matter was true, he looked at Xu Chu's gaze, and he had a little more look and strange excitement. If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for the many nameless bones of the Three Dharma Divisions and the Inner Court, or the corpses that are decomposing and difficult to identify in appearance and identity, all of them be able to find their origins?

Even if you can't find the origin for a while, as long as you have a face, you still can't find the source of the corpse?

Tang Qiaozheng was quite reserved, he bowed to Xiao Qinglang and said, "Your Majesty, this is going to send someone to find Doriku and his caravan." ”

The death of this person in the capital must not be accidental, and it is impossible to have no news.
