Chapter 44: Jade Pendant

Although Zhen Guogong was not killed, he was also seriously injured......

Dying sick sit up in shock!

Did they poke the hole in the sky, how could they arrest their family!

Let the fried bloody face, with anger hanging on his two eyes, Zhen Guogong said angrily: "Please also ask Lord Xiao to arrest the murderer!" ”

After speaking, let people carry him to see the emperor.

It is necessary to go to the emperor and cry.

After a good hunt, he was forced to go home.

Zhao Du took the officials of the Criminal Department to investigate the clues of the explosion at the scene, and Xiao Yan took Thirteen and immediately rushed back to Kyoto.

On the roof of a braised pork rice house opposite the Tonghe ticket office, Chun Bao was lying there intently, the chimney blocking the figure, revealing only a leather slingshot.

The iron bead was already pinched in the skin, just waiting for Xiao Dog to arrive, and the marble was launched, killing the dog with one blow.

"It's coming!" Lu Jia was lying on Chunbao's side, and suddenly suppressed his voice.

Chun Bao's spirits perked up, and his eyes stared ahead for a moment.

Below.

Because of the explosion, the people flocked to the city gate like a tide, and the people of the Jingwei camp had to be dispatched to order these people not to make a fuss and confine them on both sides of the road.

It took half an hour to clear the road.

Xiao Yan and Thirteen rode their horses all the way, arrived at the door of the Tonghe ticket office, turned over and dismounted, and strode directly towards the Tonghe ticket.

Chun Bao aimed at the back of Xiao Yan's head, and the slingshot in his hand was full.

As soon as this marble is shot, this dog's brain will burst immediately.

Chun Bao half-squinted, holding her breath and concentrating, just as the marbles in her hand were about to shoot out, Lu Jia suddenly grabbed her slingshot.

Chun Bao looked at Lu Jia in astonishment.

Lu Jia looked at the bottom in astonishment, "Take a closer look, look at the jade pendant that Xiao Yan hung on his body." ”

Chun Bao raised his eyebrows and looked over.

The distance is a little far, and I can't really see the lines on it, but I can see the shape clearly, it is a piece of mutton fat jade with a jagged edge, like a gourd-shaped.

Chun Bao suddenly opened his mouth wide and turned his head to look at Lu Jia.

Lu Jia paused, and took out a jade pendant from his body.

This is what the old general has kept close to him for many years, at the beginning of the year, Lu Jia took Chunbao to the enemy country to explore intelligence, the task was heavy, the murder was more auspicious, and the old general gave her this jade pendant before leaving.

The old general said that this jade pendant was the talisman that his wife asked him for from the temple back then, one large and one small.

The big one he took with him, and the small one was left with his wife to protect the family at home.

At that time, the old general was not a general, just an ordinary soldier, he was in the army step by step, went through life and death again and again, exchanged the head of the item for the title of a general, and led thousands of troops.

In the years of conquest, his sons grew up one by one, and one by one they also went to the battlefield, and the only little daughter was taken into the palace by the emperor and named Concubine Ning......

Why did this jade pendant hang on Xiao Yan's body.

Where did he come from?

Originally, he was going to kill Xiao Yan with an iron bead, but because of the appearance of this jade pendant, Lu Jia couldn't make a move.

and Chunbao glanced at each other, and the two left quietly in tacit understanding.

Tonghe ticket house.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered, he was greeted by Duan Zhe, the eldest prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, "Lord Xiao! ”

Xiao Yan glanced at the lobby of the ticket office and asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?" ”

Duan Zhe greeted the account office of the ticket office, and the account office was frightened again, and stepped forward with a white face trembling.

"Lord Qiqi, just a short time after the explosion occurred outside the city gate, suddenly two men with masks came, one of them was holding a whip and the other was holding a slingshot.

After making a vicious move, he put down all the guys in the ticket office, and took away all the cash and silver tickets on the ticket office's table. ”

Xiao Yan's drooping hand suddenly clenched his fist.

The modus operandi of this crime was exactly the same as that of the Qianzhou case at that time.

"There are no guards in the ticket office?"

The bookkeeper said: "Yes, it's just that when there was an explosion, the guards were worried about the lord outside the city gate, so they left the ticket store and went to the north city gate, and the two fanatics came after the guards left." ”

Thirteen stood in front of the counter fence, "Look, my lord. ”

Xiao Yan walked over and saw the iron beads embedded in the wooden fence at a glance.

Thirteen used a dagger to pry out the iron bead, Xiao Yan pinched it in his hand, and it was exactly the same as the iron bead found at the scene of Qingyuan Temple.

"In addition to taking away the cash and silver tickets, are there any other losses?" Xiao Yan asked.

The bookkeeper shook his head, "They don't seem to have any interest in the valuables that the guests have deposited with us, as long as they have money, they came with a sack at the time, filled a sack, took the money, and didn't kill us." ”

"Shape, fingers, skin color, voice, do you remember?" Xiao Yan asked.

The bookkeeper said: "Wearing navy blue clothes and trousers, the figure is thin, the voice should be deliberately suppressed, it is not easy to recognize, as for the skin color, they wear masks, cover their faces and necks tightly, and they also wear leather gloves on their hands, and they can't be seen." ”

Aside from finding seven or eight more identical iron balls at the scene, the biggest remaining clues were the whip marks on the boys' bodies.

The whip marks are exactly the same as the whip marks on the great monk of Qingyuan Temple, the thickness and caliber are exactly the same, and they are all clean and neat.

It can be determined that the person who committed the crime this time is the person who killed the great monk in the secret room of Qingyuan Temple last time.

That is, the female devil of the Qianzhou murder case,

As for whether it is Lu Jia and Chunbao......

"Lord Xiao, we just counted, the loss on the book is a total of 80,000 taels of silver and silver tickets, this is simply too rampant, under the root of the imperial city, who doesn't know that this ticket line is the property of my Zhenguo Mansion, and our account office also reminded those two fanatics at that time.

But they didn't blink their eyelids at all, and they didn't put the Zhenguo Mansion in their eyes at all, which is not taking the court in their eyes.

Lord Xiao, please re-check, and you must not let them go. ”

Duan Zhe, as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, is not a descendant, and he has not been treated very well, this time the emperor hunted, he did not go with him, but stayed at home, this is a blessing in disguise?

After all, almost all the young ladies and young masters who went with them at that time had all the colors on their faces and bodies, and even if they were cured, they would have scars at the lightest.

Duan Zhe is the only face that can be used in the Zhenguo Mansion now.

After doing a comprehensive investigation and recording of confessions at the scene, Xiao Yan took Thirteen to the tavern.

"Business is so good?"

As soon as he entered, Thirteen was shocked by the noisy chatter in the tavern.

The tavern was packed.

Almost every table is talking about today.

It's really exciting.

First, the emperor's hunting team was bombed, and then the ticket office of the Zhenguo Mansion was robbed, any one thing is enough for the people to talk for a while after dinner, not to mention that these two things happened at the same time.

"Where's Miss Lu San?" Xiao Yan grabbed a young man and asked.
