After waiting in Songhu City for ten days, Luo Linhai saw that Shi Ziling, the object of his seal, had not returned for a long time, so he planned to return to the capital.

Early this morning, he took the three heroes of Qingcheng to the city guard mansion to meet Su Bairen, Su Bairen heard Luo Linhai's arrival, and hurriedly brought people out to greet him.

After some greetings, Luo Linhai said: "Lord Su, I have been in Songhu City for more than ten days, but the newly promoted Dutong Shiziling has not returned for a long time, so it is not a way to wait like this, I plan to go back to Yanjing City first." ”

Su Bairen said: "Lord, if you go back, what should be done about Shi Ziling's promotion to the title of the capital? I heard Shi Ziling's friend Ma Yu say that Shi Ziling had sent a letter back earlier, and now he should be on his way back, and I believe that in another ten days and half a month, it will almost be time to return to Songhu City." ”

Luo Linhai frowned and said, "It will take ten days and half a month?"

"Alas, don't hide it from Master Su, since I left Beijing this time, everything has really gone wrong, so I don't even have the heart to play. I don't think it's as good as this, I'll hand over the seal of the five-grade capital to you, Lord Su, and you can give the seal to that Shiziling, anyway, he is just the general of your Songhu City, and it's the same for you, the local first-grade master, to give the seal. ”

Su Bairen was quite surprised when he heard this, and said, "That's ...... According to the laws of our dynasty, the Zhengdu unified post can directly lead more than 30,000 troops, which is the most important military post in the locality, and it must always be directly assigned by the military department to confer the seal. The prince might as well play in Songhu City for a few more days, and Shiziling should be back soon. ”

Luo Linhai was a little impatient, since he went to Chen Gongzhao's house to be a robber, he always felt a little uneasy, for fear that the jeweler Boss Lu would come up with some strange requirements for him to carry out.

Besides, he robbed a lot of property from Chen Gongzhao's house that day, and hid them in the mansion, once he was discovered, it would be really shameless. The dignified prince of the dynasty, and the commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion, the head of the three major legions in the capital, would be very humiliating if it was known that he had done such a disgraceful deed.

Luo Linhai already regretted it in his heart, and it was okay to go to the door to beat Chen Gongzhao, he really shouldn't have taken his family's belongings. Thinking about it, he was still in a hurry that day, and he lost as much as 300,000 gold coins, which almost lost most of his net worth, so he was confused for a while and did something like a sheep.

He has not been in the mood to go out to play in the past ten days, except for drinking and socializing with the officials in the city, he has been nesting in the mansion, and he is really bored and panicked.

Now when I heard Su Bairen say that I would have to stay for another ten days and half a month to wait for Shiziling, I couldn't help but have a big headache, and when I was about to shirk it, a general hurriedly ran in and said to Su Bairen: "Master Su, it's not good, come out ...... It's over! Mrs. Chen's family ...... Something happened!"

Su Bairen saw that it was Xu Sihai, a staff general of the Auxiliary Defense Army, who was also a close confidant of Chen Gongzhao, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with Lord Chen's family, won't he be patronized by robbers again?"

Xu Sihai looked a little panicked, his face was full of horror, and he stammered: "I'll go to Chen in the morning...... Lord Chen's house visited the injury, who knows...... Who knows that Lord Chen is ...... He's ......"

Su Bairen said: "What are you anxious about, if you have something to say, say it calmly." ”

Xu Sihai calmed down a little and said, "Lord Chen is dead!"

"What ?......"

Su Bairen and Luo Linhai exclaimed in unison.

Su Bairen was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Are you saying that Master Chen is dead? Chen Gongzhao is dead? Impossible, I just went to visit him a few days ago, although his injuries are serious, but they are not fatal, when I went to see him, he had already improved significantly, how could he suddenly die?"

Xu Sihai said: "Lord Chen was ...... He was stabbed to death, and the name of the murderer was written in his room, which was ......"

Su Bairen asked anxiously: "You mean that the murderer left his name in Chen Gongzhao's room, who is it?".

Xu Sihai glanced at Luo Linhai beside Su Bairen, and said in a snort: "Yes...... It's Lord Luo!"

"What!"

Su Bairen and Luo Linhai once again exclaimed in unison.

Su Bairen immediately hurried to Chen Gongzhao's mansion with Xu Sihai, Luo Linhai wanted to go with him, but Su Bairen politely declined.

Luo Linhai also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he had to return to the mansion with Qingcheng Sanjie first.

Su Bairen carefully inquired about Xu Sihai on the way to Chen's Mansion and roughly understood some information.

It turned out that Xu Sihai went to Chen's Mansion to visit Chen Gongzhao in the morning, and after arriving at Chen's Mansion, it was customary for the porter to go first to report it, and regular customers like Xu Sihai would usually invite him in soon.

Who knew that this time the concierge went in to report and did not come out to respond, Xu Sihai waited for a long time and was a little impatient, and when he was about to find someone to ask, he heard the chaotic commotion constantly coming from the house, and it seemed that something was going on inside.

Xu Sihai walked in to take a look, only to see that the family members and daughters in the Chen Mansion were crying non-stop, the family guards were running around, and the Chen family was completely in chaos.

Xu Sihai finally found the concierge who had just gone in to report, only to learn that Chen Gongzhao had just been found dead in his room.

Xu Sihai was shocked, and hurriedly went into the backyard of Chen's house to check what was going on, and when he came to Chen Gongzhao's bedroom, he saw Chen Zhongping and Chen Zhongjian, two brothers, lying crooked at the entrance of the bedroom, with a large pool of blood on their chests, and Chen Gongzhao fell on the bed, with a big hole in his throat, which was obviously dead.

Xu Sihai hurriedly stepped forward and touched Chen Gongzhao's snort, and sure enough, there was no breath, and he couldn't help but panic, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly looked up and saw three big characters written on the wall: "Luo, Lin, Hai." ”

Xu Sihai's heart shook violently, he stumbled out of the room, and went directly to the city guard mansion to find Su Bairen to report.

Su Bairen was anxious, Chen Gongzhao has been his right-hand man for many years, although many people have doubts about his character, but for Su Bairen, Chen Gongzhao and Ma Dai have always been his right-hand men.

It is precisely with these two guards that Songhu City has been able to maintain order for many years, and Su Bairen can relatively easily sit in the position of the city guard.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, the Chen family suffered a series of accidents, first ten days ago by four robbers to rob the door, not only was a lot of property looted, but the father and son were also injured. I thought that ten days had passed, and the matter would slowly subside, but who knew that the father and son of the Chen family would encounter an accident again, and they actually lost their lives together.

Chen Gongzhao's garrison position is an important official position second only to the city guard in Songhu City, and the assassination of the garrison is really a serious matter, and even more fatal matter is even more fatal This matter even implicated the prince of the dynasty, Luo Linhai. Luo Linhai is not only the emperor's younger brother, but also the commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion in the capital, powerful and powerful, if Luo Linhai really did it, then how could it be good.

Su Bairen rushed to Chen's house, and when he went in, he saw that the situation inside was exactly as Xu Sihai said, Chen Gongzhao was stabbed in the throat and had already died of anger, and Luo Linhai's name was still written on the wall.

However, unexpectedly, the eldest son Chen Zhongping, who fell by the door, actually had some breath, but he fell into a deep coma and could not wake up.

Su Bairen hurriedly ordered people to quickly invite the best doctor in the city to come to treat him, and at the same time asked people to cordon off the surroundings of the Chen family, and sent people to appease the Chen family.

After some busyness, Ma Dai, another garrison in the city, also rushed to hear the news, and then all the heads of the city defenders and the auxiliary defense army rushed to the Chen Mansion.

Everyone was deeply shocked, especially the name of "Luo Linhai" on the wall of Chen Gongzhao's bedroom was really shocking, which made everyone deeply uneasy.

Su Bairen said with some confusion: "This morning, Lord Luo came to bid me farewell, saying that he couldn't wait for Shiziling to come back for a long time, and he wanted to go back early." Unexpectedly, the news of Lord Chen's murder suddenly came. Alas, I was too careless, I knew that Lord Chen had not recovered from his serious injuries, so I should have sent someone to protect him, what should I do now. ”

"There have been accidents one after another in the house of the garrison in charge of public security in this city, Lord Chen's father and son also lost their lives, only one Chen Zhongping is unconscious, after the news spreads, not only the people in the city will be panicked, but even the court will blame me for having no way to govern!"
