When he came to Chang'an City, he learned through the black road that the judge was secretly cultivating a group of dead guards, and Zhao Xuan bought the relationship and was recommended to run for election. Because of his strong martial arts, he quickly stood out from many candidates.

But in order to enter the inquisitor, you must also gain the trust of the inquisitor.

But at this point he got stuck because he had no background. His background is too clean, his parents are free, and he wanders the world with his teacher.

The background is too clean, but it is unbelievable.

And he seems to have no desires and no desires, and those who have no desires are not suitable to be dead men at all. The reason why the dead man is not afraid of death is because he knows that he will get a high profit after he dies.

At this time, Zhao Xuan knew that the examiner was investigating everything about him, he didn't like to have fun, and he didn't get close to women, what was the reason why he was willing to die for others?

In order to get through this, Zhao Xuan found a reason to become a dead soldier - drinking.

From then on, he became an alcoholic, not only drinking, but also drinking well, and drinking a lot.

This requires a lot of money, and becoming a dead man makes the fastest money, and the dead man who judges the family can also drink good wine.

Gradually, he suddenly found that he had practiced the ability to practice a thousand cups without getting drunk. Judging people like him, it should be said that they like his ability.

He is no longer a dead soldier who cannot see the light of day, but has become a guard for the trial of his travel, and of course, he has to block the wine for the trial of food.

Coming to the side of the judge, he has many opportunities to kill his father's killer. But he didn't do it, because he hadn't found the judge yet.

In this way, Zhao Xuan protected his father-killing enemy while inquiring about the whereabouts of Xianran.

He was already very, very careful, but he still showed his feet and was interrogated to reveal his identity. He was given a cup of poisoned wine, and he drank it. When he realized that he had been poisoned, he drew his sword from him.

He underestimated his abilities, believing that a glass of wine could poison him to death, and was stabbed to the ground by him. The sword landed on the throat of the inquirer.

"Where's the judge?" Zhao Xuan asked as he endured the pain of the venom devouring his heart.

"You want to know? I won't tell you......" He smiled, he wasn't a man who was afraid of death. When he followed Liu Bang to break through, he had seen too much death.

But the inquisitor didn't want to eat him to death, so he told the judge about it, and the judge rushed to them.

She begged both of them to spare each other, but neither of them listened. In desperation, Juran drew his sword and committed suicide.

The two of them woke up from a nightmare......

"Dad, can you give the antidote to Brother Xuan...... Brother Xuan, you will let my father live, and Ran'er will die for him......" Juan Ran said with tears in her eyes and her last strength, "Can't you let me leave with peace of mind?" ”

In the end, the trial took out the antidote, and Zhao Xuan also vowed not to seek revenge on the trial again.

Only then did Juran smile and leave.

But after her death, Zhao Xuan wanted to take away the body of the judge, but the trial was not allowed, and the two quarreled again.

At this time, the guards who tried to eat it had already been prepared, and Zhao Xuan was outnumbered, but he still escaped from the trial. If he hadn't promised to live well, he would have been willing to go with him.

After that, Zhao Xuan went to the bamboo forest in the mountains to live in seclusion, and a monument was erected before the trial. His wish was to move the ashes of the judge into the grave and stay with her for a long time......

At some point, a dark cloud rose and obscured the sun; The wind is getting stronger, and it looks like it's going to rain.

In the shadows, Zhao Xuan's expression became even more melancholy, and Dou Yifang even began to sympathize with him a little, so that he didn't want to doubt him.

At this time, Zhao Xuan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled pleasantly. He had never mentioned anything on his mind to anyone, and now that he said it, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Thank you!!"

"Huh?"

Dou Yifang didn't understand what his sudden gratitude meant, and saw a scar on his tiger's mouth, which looked very new.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

"Last time I was drunk, I accidentally scratched ......"

Zhao Xuan put his hand into his sleeve, "It's going to rain, let's go!" ……”

Dou Yifang didn't move, Zhao Xuan looked back at her and asked what was wrong.

Dou Yifang said: "Are you a murderer?" ”

Zhao Xuan's expression also became serious, "What do you think?" ”

"I hope you're not."

The two looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

"Why did you want to get involved in the Hun mission?" Dou Yifang asked again, this time in a questioning tone.

"If I were a murderer, you wouldn't be able to tell a lie!! So, what's the point of your question? ”

"You say that, it only increases my suspicion of you."

"Doubt is good, don't trust too much that someone is always right for you......"

After speaking, Zhao Xuan walked away. Dou Yifang looked at his back, feeling inexplicably lost. Because Dou Yifang felt more and more that he was the murderer.

The rain still hadn't fallen, it was just a passing dark cloud, which was quickly carried away by the wind. Dou Yifang looked at the dark clouds drifting away, thoughtful.

"What do you think?" Liu Heng asked.

"The concubine has always felt that one thing is very strange." Dou Yi atrial road.

"What's the matter?"

"If the murderer wants to hide, why do he leave such clear footprints?"

Liu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he was afraid of being discovered and fled in a hurry, and forgot to erase his footprints." ”

"But those footprints, from the toe to the heel, are very clear, and they don't look like they fled in a hurry."

Liu Heng thought about it again, and also felt that Dou Yifang's suspicion was not unreasonable.

"You mean, these footprints were deliberately left by the murderer? Why did he do it? ”

"The concubine hasn't figured it out yet." Dou Yifang fell into deep thought again.

Liu Heng also sat down, and the palace maid brought the tea, but with a careful step, she tripped over herself and fell to the ground, the teapot was broken, and the tea spilled all over the ground.

"The slave deserves death, please forgive the king...... the palace maid immediately knelt down and said.

"It's not going to be cleaned up soon, be careful next time!" Liu Heng said irritably.

"King Xie."

After the palace maid cleaned up, she got up and left, because her shoes were wet with tea, leaving footprints one by one.

Dou Yifang's gaze fell on those footprints, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind......

Liu Heng looked at her and asked her what was wrong.

Dou Yifang immediately said: "Great King, send someone to check where all the people in the Qingxuan Palace are and what they are doing during the period from the end of the banquet to the rain, and who can testify." ”

……

Chen Huan received Liu Heng's order and came to Qingxuan Palace again to check where everyone was during the period between the end of the banquet and the time before the rain.

Like Liu Heng, Chen Huan didn't understand what was the point of asking where everyone was going during this time, but Dou Yifang didn't explain.

In order to ensure that everyone did not collude, Chen Huan asked everyone to ask separately. In the end, when the results of the inquiry were compared, it was found that all the twenty-seven men in the mission were able to prove to each other where they were.

This is also because He Shu was hostile to the Han people, so he let his subordinates live in groups of four in the same room.

That night, during the interrogation, they were all together, and the guard in charge of the night was able to prove that no one had left the chamber. The same was true of Heshu, who had fallen asleep as soon as he returned to his room, and the guards outside the door could prove that he had not left.

No one can prove the whereabouts of only two people in that section, these two people are Dou Yifang and Zhao Xuan. Because of this, Chen Huan was slightly embarrassed when he reported to Dou Yifang and Liu Heng.

"What did Zhao Xuan say?" Dou Yifang asked.

"He said he didn't remember......," Chen Huan replied.

"It can't be him......" Liu Heng said, "This king remembers that he was already drunk, and in the end he was carried back......

"Is he really drunk?" Dou Yifang said, "When the concubine returned to Qingxuan Palace, didn't he come to find the concubine?" ”

"Did Niangniang suspect that Zhao Xuan was pretending to be drunk, and then went to kill His Royal Highness the Fifth and Lin Zangfeng?"

"With his swordsmanship, with Lin Zangfeng and Zha He's negligence because he is an acquaintance, it should be easy to succeed! ……”

Chen Huan nodded in agreement, but suddenly frowned again, "However, the time of the crime was after the rain, and he wasn't with you at that time...... Before the words fell, he realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said.

"Yes, he was with me." Dou Yifang said calmly, "But what if the time of the crime is not after the rain......

Speaking of this, Dou Yifang remembered that Zhao Xuan seemed to be looking forward to the rain that night.

"Not after the rain?" Liu Heng and Chen Huan were both surprised.

"What about footprints? What should be the explanation? ”

"Footprints are just a little trick......," she said, Dou Yifang picked up the teapot on the table and poured the tea onto the ground, which flowed to her feet and wetted the soles of her shoes.

Liu Heng and Chen Huan suddenly realized how Zhao Xuan committed the crime and had an alibi.

Chen Huan patted his head, very remorseful, "I can't see such a simple trick!" ”

"Captain Ting, it's time to arrest the prisoner......"

"Wechen obeys!"

"King!" Dou Yifang stood in front of Liu Heng and said, "The concubine has a reluctant request......

Qingxuan Palace, garden.

The breeze drifts gently into the distance with a melodious melody, like throwing a pebble into a mirror lake, causing ripples in a circle.

In the pavilion, Zhao Xuan sat upright in white, his slender fingers elegantly plucking the strings. Composed a mournful and soft music, which moved the listener and made him sad.

Dou Yifang followed the sound of the piano to the pavilion and sat down in front of Zhao Xuan. She had something to say, but not at this time. It was so rare to hear a beautiful melody that she couldn't bear to disturb her.

Thoughts drifted back to the past with the sound of the piano, and the old love and hate intertwined came to mind, and the eyes moistened unconsciously.

Zhao Xuan pressed his hands lightly on the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Dou Yifang also came back to his senses and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”

"I couldn't figure out the second half." Zhao Xuan said.

"That's a shame......"

"Come, have something to say?"
