While undressing the corpse and inspecting the corpse, Lu Jinfu said to Wang Qian: "My lord, judging by the current temperature and the degree of decay of the corpse, I roughly estimate that this person has been dead for at least ten days. ”

Wang Zhen gathered his mind and walked to Lu Jinfu's side.

Lu Jinfu gestured with his fingers to the wounds on the corpse and continued: "This man was stabbed four times, and each of them was fatal. The technique is clean and neat, and it is done in one go! The killer used two knives. ”

The king asked, "Is there any money on him?" ”

Lu Jinfu picked up a string of copper coins on the ground and showed it to Wang Qian, and said, "The money is still there, and there is a hanging of money." ”

Wang Zhen walked into the house to check, he remembered that he put two taels of silver on the table when he left, and now the silver on the table is gone, since it is not on the owner, it is taken by the scales.

Wang Zhen looked around the house, the items in the house were messed up, it was very different from before he left, and someone had obviously slept on the bed. It is likely that after the resurrection of the reverse scale, he found that the manor of the Wudou Mi Sect had been burned down, and he thought that the king would come back, so he simply lived here and waited for the king hostage, who knew that the owner of the house was coming. It is estimated that after asking the owner for a confession, he killed him.

Wang Zhen walked out of the house and asked, "Who does Brother Lu think did it?" ”

Lu Jinfu had already carefully examined the corpse and was sorting out the clothes for the corpse, when he heard Wang Qian's inquiry, he stood up and said: "Judging from the wound, the murderer's knife skills are very powerful, and he is a master; If the money is not lost, it means that it is not for money; I think this deceased man is honest, not like a person who has a grudge against others. So I speculate that it was done by people passing by. This kind of case is the most difficult to solve, and there is generally no way to close the case, because the sea of people is vast, and it is difficult to find the murderer. It should be particularly pointed out that this person is addicted to murder, and he can be killed with one knife, but he cut four times like chopping melons and vegetables, and it can be inferred from his temperament that the murder on this person's back must be indispensable. ”

Lu Jinfu saw that Wang Zhen was thinking, so he walked towards the place where there were blood stains by the wall.

When Wang Zhen saw it, he immediately reminded: "Brother Lu be careful!" There are a lot of nails buried in the ground over there. ”

Lu Jinfu immediately squatted down, pulled away the straw, and sure enough, it was covered with nails, he took a brief look at it, and said, "My lord, there is another person here." The man jumped down from the fence and stepped on a nail on the ground, and was wounded by an arrow. One, two, three, four, I didn't die after four arrows, and I walked out! This is an exaggeration! My lord, I can't explain the situation here. ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and asked, "Brother Lu, the situation on the scene is basically like this, what should I do next?" ”

Lu Jinfu shook his head vigorously at the bloodstains under the wall, and said helplessly: "Although the possibility of catching the prisoner is very small, you still need to follow the normal process." Please come over for an autopsy, and the military officials will investigate the scene and visit nearby residents to collect witness testimony, and finally open a case. ”

Wang asked: "Brother Lu, can you leave all these things to you?" I still have some things to do, so I won't go back to the yamen. ”

Lu Jinfu said: "My lord, do things with peace of mind!" I'm familiar with these cars. ”

Wang Zhen rode home alone, picked up a bow and arrow, and went to the archery range to shoot arrows. While shooting arrows, Wang Zhen thought: Why didn't he die after being hit by four arrows in the reverse scale? Or why can you be resurrected after you die? Why can the reverse scale pull out the four arrows stuck in the body alive? Didn't he feel pain? Or is it all because my arrows are too shallow?

Wang Zhen really couldn't figure it out, and shot one arrow after another at the target.

Some time ago, he fell into the trap of the king and had no power to fight back, and was tortured and killed by the four arrows of the king. Now that the scales have been resurrected, they must hate the king and resolve to take revenge. Wang Zhen is about to get married, he has to find a way to solve the reverse scales, and he must not let Xie Daoyun be in danger.

Fortunately, I had planned to go to Zhang's Manor tonight, and when the time came, I would ask the eldest brother what was going on. This may be some kind of secret method of the Five Bucket Rice Dao, maybe the eldest brother knows the way to crack it.

Wang Zhen came to the Drunken Immortal Residence again, and Zheng Fang walked out of the counter as usual to greet him with a smile. Before Wang Zhen could speak, Zheng Fang had already asked the shop guy to take the two good daughters on the altar red.

Wang Zhen smiled: "It's still the shopkeeper Zheng who can do business!" Guests don't have to come a few times to remember each other's needs. ”

Zheng Fang arched his hand and smiled: "Let Wang Gongzi laugh!" Zheng's principle of doing business is to see if the other party is worth making friends. Wang Gongzi, do you socialize so much every day? ”

Wang asked: "Yes! Recently, there are a lot of places to run. ”

Zheng Fang said with a smile: "I see that Wang Gongzi is full of red light, is there any happy event in the house?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zheng would still look at his face!" To tell you the truth, I'm preparing to get married! ”

Zheng Fang smiled again: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Wang Gongzi is really envious of others when he got married at a young age! ”

Wang Zhen returned the salute and smiled: "Thank you Zheng shopkeeper!" ”

At this time, the guy brought two jars of daughter red. Zheng Fang said: "Prince Wang, this wine is no longer charged, so let's take it as a contemptible gift!" ”

Wang Zhen did not postpone it, and said: "Then I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful." Wait until I'm busy for a while, and then go to Zheng's shopkeeper's wine appointment. ”

Zheng Fang waved his hand and said, "Okay! Don't be in a hurry, it's important to deal with the matter of getting married! Wang Gongzi go slowly! ”

Wang Zhen came to Zhang's manor, because he had been told yesterday that he would come to the door to thank him, so there were already servants waiting for him at the door.

The servant took the king directly to a long corridor, the two sides of the corridor were full of lanterns, illuminated as bright as day, the long corridor was full of flowers, walking in the corridor was like walking in the sea of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers drifted with the wind, refreshing people's hearts.

Zhang Xuan and others sat around a large round table at the end of the corridor and chatted and waited for him. What Wang Zhen felt was strange was that the housekeeper and Tang Qiu were also present. Zhang Tongyun saw Wang Zhen smiling and trotting over, pulling Wang Zhen to sit next to her.

Wang Zhen put down the two jars of wine and thanked Zhang Xuan and the housekeeper for their hard work for their wedding. Then he saluted and greeted the people present, among whom was a dignified and elegant lady, whom the king had never seen. Wang Zhen guessed that this must be Zhang Xuan's wife.

Sure enough, Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Wang Qian, this is my wife." ”

Wang Zhen saluted and said, "Wang Zhen has seen the lady of the owner. ”

Mrs. Zhang Xuan stood up and bowed in return, saying, "I often hear my husband talk about Wang Gongzi. When I saw it today, it was really a talent. ”

Wang Zhen arched his hand and smiled: "Where! Madame praised! ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Wang Qian, didn't you say to be a military official?" How did you become an official? ”

Wang Zhen said: "The emperor is obsessed with longevity, he only takes pills and does not eat, and he was paralyzed by the drug a few days ago. The imperial court wanted to hold the Taoist priest responsible, and I assisted in arresting the Taoist priest, and Lord Liu promoted me to the rank of Fu Peng because of this incident. It's a big opportunity! ”

Zhang Xuandao: "There is still this matter? How is the emperor now? ”

Wang Qiandao: "I haven't seen any improvement, I can't handle state affairs, and the Empress Dowager Chu will be the regent."
