Chapter 21: The Dragon's Tribulation

In ancient times, the word dragon, that is very noble, who can call it a dragon? Of course it's the emperor, the dragon body and the dragon body, naturally that's the case, if ordinary people dare to call themselves dragon bodies or something, they must not be arrested and thrown into prison.

The case of the dragon overturning, as you can see from the name, is a case to turn the emperor off the throne.

This kind of thing will only be big and not small, and when it comes to the emperor's affairs, nothing is small.

rushed to Luzhou, and before he rested, when he entered the city, he saw Bao Zheng and Chu Chu swaying on the street, of course, they were looking at the official list.

"Brother Bao, I want to kill you!" Zhan Zhao flew over.

Yi Xiaojin and the others also walked over, and Feng'er introduced the identities of Bao Zheng and the others to the girl.

didn't have time to greet each other for a while, Bao Zheng went straight to the topic, "Something happened to the Eight Sages King, and he will be beheaded in six days." I have to take a step forward and go to Beijing to save the Eight Sages. ”

Zhan Zhao grabbed him, said that he had changed his mind and did not let him be the abbot, and said that he would do a great career with him.

In that case, let's go to the capital together.

"Shall we go to the capital too?" Feng'er asked.

"If you don't go to the capital, how can you take the girl? Of course we're going, and we're going to have to help this time. ”

Before leaving, Bao Zheng remembered that his wife also wanted to call together, but he was in a hurry, so he had to go first, so he discussed, Yi Xiaojin and his party called Mrs. Bao to follow, and Bao Zheng and they took the lead.

After a temporary separation, Bao Zheng and the others set off on fast horses, and Yi Xiaojin took the three daughters to Mrs. Bao.

"Brother Yi, Sister Rong, Sister Feng'er, you are going back to Luzhou." Seeing Xiao Ai busy drying herbs in the yard, she was surprised when she saw a few people walking in.

"Xiao Ai, oops, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm much more beautiful, does Bao Zheng have any thoughts about you?" Shangguan Feng'er walked over and looked at her carefully, and said with a smile.

The girl's family could not hear this kind of joke, Xiao Ai's face turned crimson directly, and she lowered her head.

"Xiao Ai, is Mrs. Bao at home?"

"Oh, at home, inside." Xiao Ai came back to her senses.

"Yo, this is Yi Gongzi here, and he brought a little lady, why haven't you seen black charcoal?" Mrs. Bao walked out and asked with a smile.

The girl on the side blushed when she heard this, and secretly glanced at Feng'er, but just happened to meet her looking at herself, and she was even more shy, and lowered her head like Xiao Ai.

Yi Xiaojin explained the situation to Mrs. Bao, and Mrs. Bao agreed to go to Bianjing together with a headache.

packed up everything and everything, and together with Xiao Ai, everyone rushed to Bianjing.

Now this is really a big table, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, Chu Chu, Zhanzhao, Pang Feiyan, there are five of them, and then there are six people here, there are indeed quite a lot, a big team.

In order to arrive in Bianjing as soon as possible, Yi Xiaojin casually modified the carriage, added some spring shocks, strengthened the axles, and six horses took turns pulling the carriage.

It can be regarded as avoiding everyone from being dizzy when they are in a hurry, especially when there is a lady here, it is not good to have something happen.

After nearly a month, everyone has returned to Bianjing.

Different from last time, this time there was a big incident with the Eighth Prince, and the entire Bianjing was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the pedestrians who came to play were not so leisurely, and they were often in a hurry.

"The number of guards at the city gate has doubled, and it should involve a court dispute." Shen Rong said softly.

"Chao Zheng! What about black charcoal, if it's just a case, it's fine, but this involves the court, and black carbon will be fine, right? Mrs. Bao said worriedly.

"He'll have to get involved sooner or later, don't worry, aunt, Bao Zheng will be fine, even if there is any accident, I will keep him fine."

"Yes, it's going to be fine, otherwise Xiao Jin wouldn't have brought Xiao Ai over, just come over to have fun, and they will solve the case."

For a few of them, it's really just fun, otherwise such a huge crowd to solve the case is really, it looks pretty awesome.

When I arrived in Bianjing, fortunately, I went to meet at the old inn that I had agreed, and I didn't have to look for it all over the street, otherwise, such a big place, even if it was agreed at which city gate it would be troublesome.

However, only Chu Chu and Zhanzhao were seen, and Pang Feiyan and Bao Zhenggong Sun Ce were gone.

When I asked, I found out that Pang Feiyan had called back to the people in Master Pang's mansion, and Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce had gone to the mausoleum, which is where the eighth prince is now.

"If you're not here, just wait, if you're tired and hungry, call Xiao Er to serve food, just arrived in Bianjing, and you're busy enough." With Bao Zheng, they are almost front and back, not long after they entered Bianjing, Yi Xiaojin and his party also arrived in Bianjing, who told Bao Zheng that a scholar is not so skilled in riding horses.

"I went out with the girl, will Sister Rong and Xiao Ai go?" Shangguan Feng'er pulled the girl up and said.

"I'm not going, you pay attention to your own safety, Xiao Ai will go with you." Shen Rong said.

"Let's go, little Ai."

The three girls walked out holding hands.

"Brother Yi isn't worried about them?" Zhan Zhao said strangely.

"The girl has kung fu, although Feng'er has never practiced moves, but she can still deal with an ordinary person."

"Sister girl has kung fu? I haven't seen it. ”

Also, when Yi Xiaojin and his party came to Yanzhen before, they found the girl early, and Feng'er pulled the girl every day, but she didn't have a chance to show some effort.

While everyone was chatting, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce rushed back, and before he could sit down, a team of people dressed as guards walked in and called Bao Zheng away.

"It's going to be okay, is it?" Chu Chu said worriedly.

Someone called him away as soon as he came to Bianjing, it must be related to the case of the Eight Sages King, maybe someone is still trying to deal with him.

"How will others be embarrassed by a scholar? Do you want to wait until this time? Even if Master Pang wants to deal with him, he is still above board, and when he reaches a certain level, he doesn't like small actions more and more, you know? So there is certainly no danger for him to go out. Yi Xiaojin said with a smile, "Gongsun Ce, tell me what's going on?" ”

According to Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng in the Eight Sages King asked about the case, in fact, it is simple, but everywhere reveals the strange, a few days ago on the emperor's birthday, hundreds of officials gathered to hold a sacrifice to the sky, the Eight Sages King was seen by the civil and military officials He was sitting in the hall, holding a candlestick in his hand, and next to him was a palace full of blood, everyone looked at it was already impressive, what an obvious thing.

The strange thing is, why did the Eight Sages arrive a quarter of an hour earlier than the courtiers, and even the edict was gone, and why was the palace maid in that hall again, if it wasn't killed by the Eight Sages, but the palace was heavily guarded, why was there no trace of a murderer?

"Can Brother Yi come and go freely in such a well-guarded inner palace?" Zhan Zhao Road.

"Why don't you give it a try? I haven't tried it, what do you want? I'll bring it to you now and see if the guards can spot me?" Yi Xiaojin said eagerly.

I really haven't tried this, I don't know what masters there are in this Great Song Inner Palace.

Shen Rong rolled her eyes and screwed him, it's better not to try this thing, if you find out, how to explain it then, it's okay if the three of them run away, but if you save them, it's troublesome.

In this way, it is naturally unlikely that the palace maid was killed by outsiders, and there are two results, one is that the Eight Sages King did kill the palace maid, which caters to what everyone sees. Second, the palace maid committed suicide, but even if she committed suicide, why did she frame the Eight Sages King? What's the grudge? Gongsun Ce analyzed.

Of course, there are only two kinds of situations now, it is nothing more than being killed and committing suicide, and there is no third person except for the two people in the palace, so the murderer naturally points to the Eight Sages King, the evidence is sufficient, but the motive for killing is not sufficient. This suicide, that's even more outrageous, a small palace in the inner palace, according to Bao Zheng, is still in the palace of the Queen Mother, this has nothing to do with the Eight Sages King, why commit suicide to frame the Eight Sages, will there be a bigger conspiracy here.

These are all difficult problems that plague several people.

When Bao Zheng came back again, this time he was called away at once, and after taking a breath, the six doors of the head-catcher knife led people to the inn, that is, in a word, you can do whatever you order, and thousands of headhunters in Bianjing are at their disposal, this is the emperor's order.

It just so happened that Bao Zheng had just seen the emperor come back with a gold medal, and he could enter and leave the palace at will, and there happened to be manpower, so you are welcome, go directly to the scene.

A group of people led the way by Li Xiaodao, entered the palace, and came to the main hall of the incident, on the way Li Xiaodao introduced the situation of the palace maid, named Xiuzhu, who used to serve the queen, and at the time of the crime, the guards who were guarding outside did not hear any sound.

Entering the main hall, he continued to introduce the situation, there were traces of struggle inside, this is a suspicious point, there was a struggle but there was no cry for help, the palace guards were just outside the door, shouting can definitely be heard.

"Three questions, one, why did the Eight Sages arrive a moment earlier than others? Second, where did the edict that had been altered go? Three, even if the murderer had been hiding here beforehand, how did he escape the search under such a tight guard? And how did you leave? Unless he can come and go freely. It's stealth. ”

"Brother Yi said that he himself was completely sure that he could do it in such an environment." Zhan Zhao said.

Bao Zheng looked at Yi Xiaojin and saw him nodding, so he nodded, "If it's like Brother Yi, if you want to kill the Eight Sage Kings, it's not much faster to kill the Eight Sage Kings directly, so why kill a palace maid." Either way, if he kills, the Eight Sages kills, or commits suicide, there must be something hidden in this. ”

Gongsun Ce asked about Xiuzhu's friendship in the palace, but learned that a little eunuch who was a little familiar was named Lin Zhongbang.

"Li Zhutou, can you send someone to take my mother to meet the corpse of that Xiuzhu? Let's go and see where Xiuzhu lives. ”

"No problem."

Several people went to the inner palace.
