The people worked together to clean up the scene, entered the tomb, pried open the wooden boxes piled up in the tomb with their weapons, and raised the torches to see that they were all swords, the same as those previously seized from the cave, but these weapons were more pure and well-made.

After counting the numbers one by one, there were more than 200 boxes, and roughly calculated, the weapon configuration of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses was simply shocking.

Yuan Bao had already mobilized troops nearby, carried all the weapons down the mountain from the mausoleum, and then affixed the seals and immediately transported them to Beijing. This Baili Jiu had already written a recital, and all the things that happened here were truthfully returned, and he was sent to Beijing as soon as possible.

After some hectic chaos, Murong Villa returned to calm, the battle situation was like fighting a fire, and the two of them couldn't stay here for long, they needed to deal with the follow-up matters as soon as possible, and then return to Beijing to resume their lives, and deploy follow-up related matters, lest they startle the snake, and later things will change.

Baili Jiu ordered the people to bury the coffins of Murong Cheng and his wife in the mausoleum, closed the tomb door, and then knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to the second elder and asked for his guilt, and once again thanked many chivalrous warriors in the martial arts for helping.

The villa Li Noya and Bai Li Jiu have already arranged for people to be responsible for guarding the mausoleum here, and there is nothing to worry about, Noya went back to the house to pack up and salute, ready to leave immediately.

She simply categorized the salutes, put away all the more important items, and inadvertently found the portrait that Xia Solstice gave herself, opened it and looked at it for a long time, still just felt familiar, and couldn't remember where she had seen it, thinking that the Killer Pavilion had been smashed anyway, and there was no need to continue to entangle, so she casually put it aside, carelessly.

It happened that Bailijiu pushed the door in, picked up the portrait, and asked strangely, "What is this?" ”

Noya was busy and didn't look back: "Last time in Huang Dexing's Mansion, the portrait of me on the summer solstice." It was the person who accompanied Hou Bochao to find Huang Dexing and plot to poison him. ”

Bailijiu unfolded the portrait and frowned: "Why does it look so familiar?" ”

Only then did Noah stop what he was doing and leaned closer: "I also think I've seen it before, but I can't remember anything." ”

Bailijiu spread the portrait on the table, covered his lips or eyes with his hands, and looked at it over and over.

"Xia Zhi is not good at depicting Danqing, so he only painted six or seven points of similarity. Now that many years have passed, I'm afraid that even if I see myself, I can't recognize it clearly. ”

Bailijiu turned a deaf ear to her words, and shouted at Yuanbao, who was busy outside the door: "Yuanbao, you come in." ”

Yuan Bao entered the room in response, sweating profusely: "Master, what are your orders?" ”

Bailijiu handed him the portrait: "Look at this person, have you seen it?" ”

Yuan Baohu took it suspiciously, "hissed", and hesitated: "I seem to have seen it." ”

"Do you think he looks like one of the four people who assassinated Tiansha when Li Mingzu was killed?"

Yuan Bao suddenly realized: "Look at the portrait is him, but there is a scar in the corner of the man's eye." ”

Hearing Yuanbao say this, Noya's heart moved, stepped forward to take the portrait, and looked at it twice: "It's him!" The strange person who accompanied An Ruoxi's mother to Haitang Bay that day. I only paid attention to the scar at the corner of his eye that day, and I didn't pay much attention to his appearance, so it seems that it is him! ”

"The squire's subordinates? Killer? He knows you again..."Baili Jiuyi punched in his palm: "What is the origin of this person?" How is it so intricate? ”

Yuanbao's brain was bright, and he also came to his senses at this time: "Could it be that this matter is still related to the Shilang Mansion?" Oh my God, that's not the ...... Whose people? ”

went around and around, and finally involved the three princes.

"Noya, think about it carefully, why did Mrs. Shilang take this person to the General's Mansion in the first place, and what clues are there here?"

Nuoya said to herself while reminiscing: "At that time, An Ruoxi's mother came to the General's Mansion, and it was two or three days before the banquet in the Prince's Mansion, so the old lady asked me to go to Haitang Bay to teach the rules. And the day before her visit, An Ruoxi sent me pearls to my Yinian Hall under the pretext of sending me, and then ...... "Nuoya reacted suddenly: "On that day, An Ruoxi should have seen the jade pendant with bangs and golden toads on my body!" I remember clearly, I hid behind the screen and took off my coat to let the tailor measure the body, and when I turned around, the jade pendant bag hanging on the screen was gone, and in her hand, she was still unhurried to hide that she wanted to learn the embroidery on it. ”

"Then, you met the third princess in the prince's mansion, and as soon as she saw you, she was very excited about you, and she stopped talking, looking like a sister, tempting you to take the bait?"

Noah nodded firmly.

"It's not a secret that the bangs play the golden toad and jade pendant are Fang Kunping's favorite objects, and many ministers in the court know about it. It seems that An Ruoxi accidentally saw your jade pendant and was suspicious, so she reported it to the third prince.

And the jade pendant was given to you by the pavilion master himself, so that you deliberately wore it when you assassinated the prince, and planted the blame. Can we understand that the third prince is a person who knows about this matter, so he deduced your identity as a killer through a piece of jade pendant. And he couldn't be sure, so he found someone who had seen you, disguised himself as a subordinate, and accompanied Mrs. Shilang to the General's Mansion just to identify you? After thinking for a moment, Baili Jiu peeled off the cocoon and guessed.

"Then they determined that I was the end of the earth, and they planned to sow discord from it, wanting to arouse hatred between me and the prince, and divide the relationship between the prince's mansion and the general's mansion, and she would also benefit from the fisherman."

Baili Jiu nodded with great certainty: "In this way, all the inexplicable causes and consequences will be connected." ”

"Someone who knows me? But I haven't seen it. Noah frowned: "Could it be him?" ”

"Who?" Baili Jiu and Yuan Bao asked in unison.

"I've heard before that there are five elders in the Killer Pavilion: Wind, Rain, Thunder, Electricity, and Cloud. Elder Feng died under my sword in the Burial Valley, Elder Yun pretended to be Tiansha and assassinated me in the Killer Valley Prison, and today we killed Elder Lei and Elder Electro, but there is only one Elder Yu who is good at retreating and has never appeared in the Killer Pavilion, and he is one of the leaders who participated in the killing of Murong Villa with Tiansha.

I have secretly investigated him for a long time, and some people say that he was sent to the capital by the cabinet lord to be responsible for the specific assassination of the capital in this regard. Because the capital has always been complicated, many killers have taken the case in Beijing, and someone will contact them after going to Beijing to inform the killer of the specific situation of the target, as well as weaknesses and fetishes.

After I took over the task of assassinating the prince and went to Beijing, a black-clothed masked man contacted me and told me in detail about the layout and fortifications of the prince's mansion, and assisted me to disguise myself as a dancer to infiltrate the prince's mansion and wait for an opportunity. That man can be said to know the prince's mansion well, but his whole face is tightly covered, so he knows me, and I don't recognize him. ”

"There is even a special eyeliner in the capital, do you Killer Pavilion often participate in assassinations in the imperial court?" Baili Jiu frowned and asked.

Noya shook his head: "The mission of everyone in the Killer Pavilion is confidential, and no one else knows about it except for the Pavilion Master. ”

"If you follow your reasoning, the Three Princes, the Shilang Mansion and the Killer Pavilion will not be able to escape their involvement." Baili Jiu pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Even if the pavilion master is powerful, it is impossible for him to have such a terrifying force in the court, and he even knows the secret of my mobilization of troops and horses. Except for the three princes, there will be no other candidates. ”

Nuoya had such suspicions for a long time, so she was not surprised, but Yuan Bao was dumbfounded when she heard this: "You mean to say that the third prince colluded with the Killer Pavilion with the intention of rebellion?" ”

Baili Jiu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just that, the Killer Pavilion should have been founded by the three princes in the first place!" Otherwise, the Killer Pavilion has so much income every year, why should the pavilion master take the risk to participate in the disputes of the imperial court and bring about his own destruction? ”

"Although the words are reasonable, they are only our speculations, and there is no real evidence, I am afraid that no one will believe it, let alone report it to the imperial court." Yuan Bao continued.

"The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Although the pavilion master can't speak now, and the clue has been broken, this Elder Yu is also a person who is closely related to the Three Princes, and I am afraid that it is also our only clue, so we must find this person before the Three Princes are killed. ”

Yuan Bao immediately volunteered: "I will notify my subordinates, secretly investigate the whereabouts of this person, and be sure to capture him alive." ”

Baili Jiu nodded: "This matter needs to be done in secret, and it must be done carefully." The other party is probably already a frightened bird now, and our every move is also under his surveillance, and if there is a little bit of trouble, he will definitely take action. Now that the Killer Pavilion has almost been wiped out, this elder is only afraid that it will be the last clue and evidence. ”

Yuan Bao received the order to go down, Baili Jiu and Nuoya naturally did not dare to delay, and hurriedly set off to return to Beijing non-stop, Yuan Bao was responsible for protecting the safety of Old Man Xue, and then walked slowly.

Handan City is a day's journey from the capital, the three of them have arrived at the city gate when it is dark, and they see the city gate from a distance, and there is a canopy carved sedan chair behind them, which attracts many people to stop and watch.

The two did not know what was going on, but gradually slowed down, and when they reached the gate of the city, a royal forest army stepped forward and blocked their way.

The Imperial Forest Army saluted respectfully and bowed, "Mrs. Lin, the second prince has invited you to come over and speak." ”

Noah glanced at Baili Jiu, a little surprised: "Please me?" ”
