Chapter 230: A Ferocious Assassination
Looking at the two stone lions at the door, Xu Zun's mind welled up with hazy memories.
He remembers that when he was a child, he used to climb on the back of the lion to play.
Moreover, a picture flashed in my mind, and I could see that after I finally climbed up, I turned my head to look at the other side.
But I saw a little girl on the back of the stone lion on the other side, and the little girl was wearing pigtails and was riding on the lion's back and smiling at herself.
The little girl's smiling face is as gorgeous and beautiful as a blooming flower, and it makes her heart sweet......
Later, in order to show off, he supported his body and tried to stand up on the back of the lion, but he suddenly failed to stand firm and fell down......
Later, he could see the girl running over to comfort him as she was crying, and reaching out to touch her injured forehead.
He could also see that the little girl was also crying anxiously because she was worried about herself......
That girl......
Shen Qian!!
Xu Zun finally remembered that Shen Qian was his childhood playmate.
At that time, Shen Gong often came to his father to discuss business, and Shen Qian came with his father.
The adults talk about business, and the children play games.
Playing house, hopscotch, and even playing with a daughter-in-law......
"This ......," Xu Zun looked at the towering gate, "this is my home!? ”
In an instant, Xu Zun felt an inexplicable sadness.
is the same as the feeling with Shen Gong before, even though Xu Zun crossed over, that kind of primitive feeling still made him empathize.
"Yes, Lord Xu!" Hou Zhen introduced, "After the Xu family left, the house was shelved for a while, and then it was basically lived by high-ranking officials of Dali Temple.
"The current owner of the house is Li Jinlou, the superintendent of Dali Temple!"
"What?" Xu Zun was stunned, "Li Jinlou? Aren't we going to Liu Jin's house? ”
"Hmm...... That's right," Hou Zhen said, "Liu Siqing now lives in Dali Temple, and on the day of his assassination, Liu Siqing was a guest at Li Jinlou's house!"
"So, after the incident, we got an order to lock it down.
"The body originally wanted to be transported back to Dali Temple, but Manager Lin gave another order not to let the scene move. So...... The body has also remained here. ”
bear......
Xu Zun scolded the street in his heart, because when he asked Lin Chaofeng for advice before, the first thing was to ask for Xu Zhai to be given to him.
At that time, Lin Chaofeng obviously knew that Xu Zhai was the scene of the crime, but he didn't tell himself, this old guy, hum......
"If that's ......," Zhao Yu said worriedly, "That Li Jinlou...... Are you alright? ”
"Well," Hou Zhen understood what he meant, and immediately explained, "The queen came forward to vouch, and the criminal department bought a favor, and the matter in Shangyuan City was over." ”
Squeak......
A few people were talking, and the door suddenly opened, and it turned out that the people inside heard the movement and came out to ask.
Hou Zhen took out the token and showed his intention.
The people inside hurriedly opened the door and respectfully welcomed everyone in......
Dali Temple ranks first among the five eunuchs of the Nine Temples, and Liu Jin is the secretary of Dali Temple and a member of the Daxuan Sanpin, so there are many more guards here than other murder sites.
In particular, Dali Temple has the largest number of people. Seeing Xu Zun and others entering the hospital, everyone gathered around.
What a familiar scene!
Xu Zun looked at the scenery in front of him and fell into childhood memories again.
This kind of memory is very special, as if it was experienced firsthand, but it is extremely hazy.
He can't even remember what his father looked like, only that he often worked at his desk and didn't have time to play with him.
Therefore, the most profound memory is the little girl with pigtails......
"Huh!? It's you!!? ”
Suddenly, a discordant voice rudely shattered Xu Zun's memory.
When he looked up, he saw a black-robed man standing on the steps, glaring angrily at him.
There is no doubt that Li Jinlou can be so malicious to Xu Zun.
"Yo?" Xu Zun grinned, clenched his fists and said, "Isn't this Lord Li?" We're really fated! ”
"You ......" Li Jinlou glared and said fiercely, "What are you doing here?" You're so bold, huh? Ay...... Ah......h
As he spoke, he saw Ani behind Xu Zun at a glance, and he was stunned.
Xu ...... Xu Zun ......" he pointed at Ani and shouted, "Okay! You actually brought a Xuanmen rebel party, come here, hurry up and take it down for me! ”
"Yes!"
Most of the people present were people from Dali Temple, and they immediately gathered around.
Hou Zhen immediately raised the token and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Zun.
If it were as usual, Xu Zun would have to dress up well, and also taste what it is like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and slap his face.
However, now that time is pressing, he does not have the time and energy to pretend anymore.
So, he took out the royal edict and directly asked Hou Zhen to hand it over to Li Jinlou.
Li Jinlou took the edict, and after only a few glances, he knelt on the ground like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Special ...... Special Case Investigation Envoy...... You...... You, you, you...... Who the hell are you......" Li Jinlou asked tremblingly, "Why did the Holy Queen Mother seal you Dali Temple to supervise the imperial history, you are the supervisor of the imperial history, so what about me?" ”
In fact, Li Jinlou has long been hopeless about his future, because the emperor was deposed, and the queen is already difficult to protect herself, where can she still be his backstage.
It's just that he never imagined that it was Xu Zun who framed himself to replace him!
"What are you doing in a daze?" Xu Zun came to Li Jinlou and asked, "Do you want to kneel down all the time, or do you want to cooperate with this special envoy in the investigation?" ”
"Tune ...... ...... investigation" Li Jinlou hurriedly got up, returned the edict with both hands, and shouted in his mouth, "Respectfully welcome the special envoy, and obey the orders of the special envoy." ”
Seeing Li Jinlou kneeling, the guards of Dali Temple retreated one after another, and they no longer dared to make a sound.
"Hurry up," Xu Zun pointed to the main room and said to Li Jinlou, "Take me to the scene of the crime, and tell me about the crime by the way." ”
As he spoke, Xu Zun took the lead in walking towards the mansion.
"Yes...... It's ......"
Li Jinlou hurriedly followed to show the way, but unexpectedly, when he passed by Ani, Ani suddenly yelled at him.
"Oh......"
"Wow, ah......h
Li Jinlou was so frightened that he stumbled and fell, but Ani couldn't stop laughing.
"Hurry up!" Xu Zun first shouted at Li Jinlou, and then glanced at Ani.
"Yes, yes......"
Li Jinlou caught up with Xu Zun and others, and then introduced the incident:
"At noon that day, I held a banquet at home and invited Liu Siqing as a guest...... Originally, ......" he glanced at Xu Zun timidly, "I have something to ask for, and I beg him to help me do something."
Unexpectedly, Liu Siqing actually brought his new concubine to the banquet, which made him a little embarrassed......
Liu Siqing said that his little concubine loves to be lively, and after eating later, he will take her to the West Market to buy rouge......
"But, in any case, things went well, and I was well fed and drunk.
But no one could have imagined that just as they left the restaurant and entered the corridor, the little concubine suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Liu Siqing's throat!
Liu Siqing had practiced martial arts, but the assassination still came too suddenly, although he tried his best to block it, but the dagger still stabbed him in the neck, only a little off......
"At that time...... At that time, ......" Li Jinlou recalled with palpitations, "We people were all stupid, I don't know what was going on?"
When the concubine saw that she had not been stabbed to the vital point, she stabbed him in the abdomen and then in the heart.
And this time, Liu Siqing actually grabbed the blade and didn't let her stab it in.
At this moment, the guards reacted and went up to stop the concubine, who was very fierce and fought desperately with the guards, and the guards were not allowed to get close.
In the end, the guards saw that Liu Siqing was seriously injured, so they had no choice but to kill the killer and hack the concubine to death on the spot!
"But even so, it still failed to save Liu Siqing's life......
