People don't have to chase it, because it's right in front of you.

On the ground a foot away in front of Yang Chan's horse, there were six corpses.

The corpse's face has some multicolored paint, all concentrated in the eyebrow area.

They were tall and strong, and they carried weapons at their waists, but they had apparently been beheaded before they could be drawn.

Blood was still pouring out of the wound, expanding the area of the soaked soil. There was even worse, almost separated corpses.

Changying held the hilt of the sword tightly, Rao was used to seeing the wind and waves, and his face couldn't help but turn blue at this moment.

"Who did this?" Shaoqing's voice was shocked.

Judging by the wounds, it never took more than a quarter of an hour for the incident to happen. That's about the time they first arrived in the woods.

That is, the gang was only a few miles away from them before they were killed by men who were lying in ambush in the woods.

The breeze is gentle, and the sunlight shines on the grass through the gaps in the leaves, mixed with mist, and the golden light reflects the forest like a fairyland.

But this fairyland is full of blood at the moment.

"These people have good kung fu, and if they can kill them so quickly, if they are not top masters, they are acquaintances.

"But even if he is a top master, it is impossible to behead six people under the horse at the same time, let alone several at the same time, and there is no movement when he shoots.

"So they should have been killed by someone they knew.

"The people who know this group should be their accomplices. Judging from the surprise action they chose today, it may be surmised that it was their people who delivered the news to them and planned this absconding operation.

"And then for some reason, maybe even because they couldn't escape, they were killed here."

Du gradually stared at the nearest corpse and said.

"I suspect—"

"Let's chase!" Changying suddenly raised his head and interrupted him, his eyes sharp and ruthless, "They can't run far, we are still chasing them in several ways!" ”

After saying that, she turned over and got on the horse, and rushed out of the way in the direction of the corpse's toes.

Du gradually pulled her back: "Poor Kou Mo chase, have you forgotten?" ”

"Reason is that the dead are alive!" Changying looked at him coldly: "The person is dead, of course I have to run after the living!" ”

"They can kill people in such a short period of time without making a noise, they must not be idle! What's more, they can also convey news to these people in the city, which shows that their power is beyond what you and I can imagine! ”

Du gradually was obviously not optimistic about her decision.

Changying raised the corners of his lips and said, "I know." But I'm not an idle person either!

"Besides, there will be no such shop in this village, the murderer is dead, the case can't be solved, I can't make merit, I can't be promoted, where can I think about it so much?"

Du gradually stared: "You are working so hard for promotion? ”

"If I hadn't worked hard, do you think I would have been able to save up all these feats now?"

Du gradually sank down and asked her, "Then what are you desperately trying to promote?" ”

Changying turned his head sideways and said for a while: "You don't need to know so much. ”

Du was defeated in an instant. He let go and watched as she beat her horse away.

There was silence for a moment, and then he also turned over and got on the horse, and said to Yang Chan and them: "You take someone to guard the corpse first, and I'll go and see!" ”

The sun is shining brightly on the land, and wildflowers are already blooming in the suburbs in February.

It is said that he is chasing, but in front of him is a large plain, except for the people working in the fields, where is there any trace of the murderer who is eager to escape?

"Are you still chasing?"

Standing under the tree and looking at the work, Du gradually arrived at her, looking sideways at her.

She frowned, then turned back and returned to the incident.

Yang Chan was pinching his chin and thinking about the corpse, and when he saw her coming back, he immediately got out of the way.

Changying crouched down in front of one of the corpses.

This person is the bandit leader Hu Boss who inquired about Zi Yi at the beginning, and he is also the man in black who forced Cheng Xiao to hand over the account book that night.

She picked open the placket of his clothes with a dagger, and then cut open his purse, pouring out only some common wound medicine.

The same is true of the rest of the corpses.

She frowned for a long time, got up and said to Yang Chan: "Please send a few people to pass my followers back." ”

If you don't have a clue, you get nothing. She didn't keep up with the people she found, and they didn't necessarily gain anything from Shaoqing.

Besides, what Du gradually said also makes sense, the other party has reached the point of exhaustion, that is, they have caught up, not necessarily they can cope with it.

But the main thing, or is it because she doesn't know who the master behind them really is?

"It's not entirely unbeneficial. Cheng Xiao will be loosened because of this, and then there will inevitably be flaws. Du gradually came to his side and spit out such a sentence lightly. I suspect he's going to have to think about how to transfer or destroy the incriminating evidence. ”

After a half-minute arm, he suddenly walked to a remote place.

Du gradually followed.

She folded her arms and looked back: "Actually, you know who they are, don't you?" ”

Du gradually was unfazed: "I don't know." ”

"But you must know who Cheng Xiao swore to protect the ledger for?"

Du gradually pressed the tip of his tongue against the corner of his lips and raised his eyebrows: "It's the East Palace." ”

Changying didn't even show any surprise: "The prince instructed Luo Yuan that someone needs to sit in Jiangnan to act, so Luo Yuan instructed Cheng Xiao at the beginning."

And Cheng Xiao must be conditioned by the future, so he would rather lower his rank and come to Jiangnan to be a small governor.

"Cheng Xiao's eldest daughter Cheng Tong has stayed in the Luo family since then, and it is also because Cheng Xiao has taken the line of the prince, right?"

Du gradually nodded, not denying it.

Changying opened her lips slightly: "Cheng Xiao wants to protect the crown prince, but you want to take away the evidence of the crime in his hand, so at least you will not be from the East Palace." Then you are from Huizhou, and you have been in Changxing for three months, if you are from the palace, you can't have these conditions.

"I think about it, there are no great families in Huizhou, but I heard that the family of the imperial merchant Huo Minghao is settled in Huizhou.

"The Huo family has a great cause, and they have won the sacred heart over the years, so I think, you should be Huo Mingmiao's son, Huo Rong, the young master of the Huo family?"

Du gradually stood upright, but the gaze cast over him already had a sharp edge that could not be hidden.

Changying raised his lips: "Young Master Huo, it's really a blessing." ”

The Huo family in Huizhou is just an imperial businessman, and it is said that even if the family is rich, the huge Daning court is not eye-catching, and it is not Changying's turn to pay attention.

But in the previous life, the Ling family was not destroyed for a long time, and the Huo family also fell from the sky overnight, Huo Mingmiao and his wife died in the house, the second son went crazy, and the younger son was seriously injured.

And Huo Rong, who was cultivated as an heir, disappeared.

Changying investigates the truth of the Ling family's catastrophe, and will inevitably pay some attention to this case at the same time.

The Huo family has been deeply immersed in the emperor's grace for many years, and it is natural for the emperor to do things.

But the Huo family has been in business for several generations, but their family has produced such a dazzling seedling, which is still beyond her expectations.

(There will be a change in the afternoon)
