His eyes shuttled in front of Lu Liangzhen and Gu Mingxu, Jing Rong smiled indifferently and said, "The two adults are both doing things for the court and the emperor, don't make a fuss about a trivial matter." Actually, what you two said is not wrong, now it is only in the reasoning stage, and nothing should be judged prematurely. This king thought, first according to what Master Gu said, first bring the corpses back to the punishment department, and see if there are any clues on them. Check everything in the room again, don't let go of any clues, maybe an inconspicuous corner is related to a major investigation basis. ”

Lu Liangzhen's face changed suddenly, his eyes were erratic, he kept swallowing his throat, his forehead was covered with layers of sweat, and his brows were tightly locked, as if he was in deep thought, but the hands that were rubbing repeatedly revealed his abnormality at the moment. He secretly watched King Chen's every move for a while, and then he glanced at what the guards turned out.

Jing Rong looked at him thoughtfully, his confused gaze falling on his changing face. Intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this Lu Liangzhen, and maybe it had something to do with it.

"Lord Wang, I found that there is a mechanism behind this calligraphy and painting." Chasing the stars carefully, he touched every place, and the hand that touched it happened to touch the protruding place on the calligraphy and painting, and when he opened the calligraphy and painting, there was indeed a mechanism. No wonder he thought it was strange, where did these corpses look like people who knew calligraphy and painting, they turned out to be trying to cover up.

The mechanism has been activated, and sure enough, a wall next to it is recessed, "Lord Wang, there is a big box." ”

"Take it out." Jing Rong hooked his hand and said.

The box was taken out, and when it was opened, everyone was shocked, and the gold and silver jewelry inside simply dazzled the human eye.

Jing Rong smiled coldly, narrowed his deep eyes, walked a few steps, grabbed a handful of pearl jade strings, and said coldly: "It seems that it is not the uneven distribution of spoils, nor is it the work of the Underworld Pavilion, but that someone buys murder and kills people, and then kills people." ”

The moment the box of gold, silver and jewelry was opened, Lu Liangzhen's body shook, listened to King Chen's words, and said respectfully: "What the prince said is true, it was a lie. ”

"This king said that until the results appear, anyone's words are merely speculation." Jing Rong put down the pearl jade pendant and picked up a golden jade Buddha to play with in his hand. His pupils slowly contracted, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Why does this Golden Jade Buddha King look so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." ”

"This thing doesn't seem to be available to the people, but it looks like a palace thing." Gu Mingxu also felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Jing Rong weighed it in his hand, "This Golden Jade Buddha is a big deal, is it the life of the King of Pingjun who was exchanged for this?" Suddenly, with a turn of his hand, Jing Rong brought the Golden Jade Buddha to Lu Liangzhen, "Does Lord Lu know this thing?" ”

Lu Liangzhen was shocked by the sudden change of hands with King Chen, took a step back, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Xia Guan is not as well-informed as Lord Wang and Master Gu, I have never seen such a good thing before." ”

Jing Rong swept away the previous carelessness, holding the golden jade Buddha and approaching him step by step, his deep eyes were as deep as a pool, and he could not see the background. The smile on his lips gradually faded, and he put on a cold face, and even his voice had a cold breath, "Lord Lu said that he had never seen it, but this king remembers that last year, the emperor was able to reward you with a golden jade Buddha in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty because of your good performance, if this king is not mistaken, it is exactly the same as this." ”

"No, no, it's not a subordinate official. The holy royal gift, how dare the lower officials give it to others. Moreover, the golden and jade Buddha is extremely precious, and the lower officials have always enshrined it in the Buddha hall, and it will never appear here. This must be a fake, yes, a fake. Lu Liangzhen stepped back again and again, trembling and pointing at the things in Jing Rong's hand, his eyes full of disbelief.

Jing Rong's cold eyes were covered with a sneer, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Since Lord Lu said so, then King Ben has no choice but to ask people to go to your mansion to get the real Golden Jade Buddha to confirm what you said." ”

Lu Liangzhen's expression was erratic, with a bit of dodge, and full of panic. He swallowed his saliva, remembered that he had worshiped the Buddha statue yesterday morning, fixed his mind, and said, "Then please ask the prince to go to the lower official's house to check the authenticity." ”

Jing Rong handed the Golden Jade Buddha to Chasing Star, and then glanced around the room to make sure that there were no other clues in the room before saying, "Send a few people to guard this place." After speaking, he left the farmhouse with his feet raised and went straight to Lu Liangzhen's house with people.

Sitting in the front hall of the Lu Mansion, Jing Rong drank tea leisurely, and his eyes fell on Lu Liangzhen, who was standing on the side anxiously waiting from time to time. Turning around in his heart, starting from the investigation of the case, although this Lu Liangzhen had a few words about the Xiao family, he was not panicked, until he traced the farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, he became more and more wrong. If he guessed correctly, he must have something to do with these killers.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, Jing Rong put down the tea and watched the star chase walk in, but no other bottle of golden jade Buddha appeared, frowned, and asked, "Is there a jade Buddha?" ”

"Back to the prince, there is only an ordinary Buddha statue in the Buddha hall, and there is no Buddha body as Lord Lu said." Chasing Star shook his head and glanced at Lu Liangzhen, "Lord Lu won't be joking with lowly people, if you hide it, you can personally bring it to our prince to show it, so as to prove your innocence." ”

"How is it possible, this official has always placed the Buddha statue in the Buddha hall, and yesterday he also put a pillar of incense in front of the Buddha, it is impossible that there will be no more after a day." Lu Liang was really panicked, even his breath was a little unstable, and the words he said were unconsciously trembling, he looked at the housekeeper who had gone to get the Buddha statue with the star chaser before and shouted, "Ruian, what's the matter?" That Buddha statue was still there yesterday, why is it gone today? ”

"Master, the little one doesn't know, today the little one and this military master entered the Buddha hall and found that the Jade Buddha was gone." The housekeeper Ruian's legs couldn't stop trembling, and a pair of eyes flew secretly, just touching the eyes of Prince Chen, who seemed to be smiling, so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and said: "Lord Wang, you have to believe the words of my family, yesterday fifteen, it was the day to offer incense to Guanyin, or the small one accompanied my family into the Buddha hall to offer incense, and the Buddha statue was clearly in it at that time." ”

"But now this Golden Jade Buddha is in the killer's house, so how do you explain it?" Jing Rong snorted lightly, looked at him with a sarcastic countenance, turned around on him, and then looked at Lu Liangzhen, his voice changed, with a fierce color, "Or Lord Lu, you explain to this king how the things given by the emperor got to the killer." ”

Lu Liangzhen's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became more and more, "Lord Mingjian, the lower officials don't know how this golden jade Buddha fell into the killer, maybe- maybe they stole it." ”

"Stealing? You dignified Jing Zhaoyin, who dares to steal from your head? Do you think this king is so easy to fool? The scenery suddenly rose, and the momentum on his body was like a dragon descending the mountain, and the whole body was suddenly cold, which was daunting. He waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Come on, search for this king, and see if there are any other items involved in this case." ”

Lu Liang was really panicked, but he immediately calmed down, and the previous caution towards King Chen also disappeared without a trace at this moment, and a pair of thief eyes looked at him with a little gloomy, "Lord Wang, although you are the prince, but Xiaguan is Jing Zhaoyin who is in charge of the imperial city, there is no evidence to be conclusive, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to search Xiaguan's house like this." ”

Jing Rong coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, sneered, and mixed with the coldness of winter, "If the emperor blames his own king, it will not be Lord Jing Zhaoyin's turn to worry." Originally, this king just wanted to scare and scare you, but now, this king has changed his mind. Come, give this king a careful search. ”

Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Liangzhen sat aside with a nervous heart, looking at King Chen from time to time, and looking outside from time to time. Jing Rong glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "Why is Lord Lu so restless, is it because he is afraid that the people of this king will find out some of your secrets?" Rest assured, unless something related to this case will be taken away by this king, for the rest, this king has not bothered to meddle with other people's affairs. ”

"How can the lower officials have secrets at all, King Chen really looks up to the lower officials, but he is afraid that the Gyeonggi Guard brought by the prince will frighten the family of the lower officials." Lu Liang said.

The cold eyes crossed the cold where he couldn't see, Jing Rong gently twisted the amethyst jade string, and Qingling's voice was like snow on the glacier, "Lord Lu can rest assured that this king's Gyeonggi guard has never been a miscellaneous soldier without courtesy, and it will not frighten your family." ”

Soon, Yue Feng and Chasing Star returned to the front hall with the people, Chasing Star was holding a box in his hand, and when he walked into the hall, he glanced at Lu Liangzhen before putting the box on the table next to Jing Rong.

Jing Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Back to the prince, this was found by a few lowly people in the room of Lord Lu's family, and there was a bottle of poison and a dart engraved with the logo of the Xiao family. Moreover, the lowly officials found a body in the well in the backyard, which is being salvaged at the moment. Chasing the star arched his hand and said word by word.

After saying that, Lu Liangzhen watched in horror as King Chen took the dart out of the box, he trembled and wanted to get up, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't support himself, and he barely stood up with his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice: "This is not Xiaguan's, Xiaguan has never seen this thing, someone must have planted the blame." ”

Jing Rong took the dart and examined it carefully, and made sure that it was exactly the same as the murder weapon when the murderer committed the murder. The light and shadow on the dart refracted on his face, making it even more charming. He smiled lowly, his eyes casually crossed Lu Liangzhen's face, and said with interest: "Lord Lu, this king has not yet made up his mind, why are you so alarmed, don't worry, the case is solved little by little." He looked at the star chaser again and said: "Go and invite Master Gu here, let's just say that there are some clues on this side, and the king's uncle is involved in this matter, so it is inevitable to avoid suspicion, so I still ask him to preside over the overall situation." ”
