In the cell of Dali Temple, Xu Jianping was sitting in the haystack, outside the iron fence of Dali Temple, Ge Qingyun was looking at Xu Jianping with a red face, and beside him, Shangguan Rui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was kneeling outside the iron gate with gritted teeth.

Xu Jianping said that he would regret it, but now looking at Shangguan Rui who was kneeling outside the door, Xu Jianping looked indifferent, and said slowly: "I said, if I don't kneel three times and knock nine times, Xu will not get out of this cell today!" ”

As soon as Xu Jianping said this, everyone in Dali Temple outside took a breath of cold air, this guy looked young, but he was a master who would repay him, and even Ge Qingyun, the secretary of Dali Temple who was used to seeing big scenes, was intimidated by his cold tone.

"You, don't go too far, colleagues, don't be so deceitful!" Shangguan Rui gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Xu Jianping was not in a hurry, with an evil face, he grinned at the people outside the iron gate, "If you know today, why bother at the beginning, I think I am a gentleman, a six-grade official in the court, and I was detained by you for three days for no reason, and it is cheap to kneel and knock three times and knock nine times, Xu is not in a hurry, when will you come back after thinking clearly." ”

"What if I say no?" Shangguan Rui obviously didn't want to do that.

Xu Jianping raised his eyes and looked at Ge Qingyun outside, slowly closed his eyes, and didn't say a word, but said countless truths.

Outside the iron gate, Ge Qingyun frowned when he saw this, this is forcing me to make a statement, he can afford to wait, he can't afford it, but I don't know if the people in the cell have such talents as Brother Jingrui said, he looked at Xu Jianping, and then looked at Shangguan Rui who was kneeling on the ground, if he chose one of the two, he didn't have a choice, Ge Qingyun said directly: "Shangguan Rui, the mistakes you made, you should bear the consequences of it, and do it according to Xu Sizheng's words." ”

Shangguan Rui looked up at Ge Qingyun and opened his eyes angrily: "My lord! ”

"Shangguan Shaoqing, do you need me to say it again?"

Calling with an official title like this, it is obvious that Dali Siqing is oppressing people with officials, Shangguan Rui can't find a reason even if he wants to refute it, so he has to promise fiercely: "Subordinates obey orders." "Anyway, Shangguan Rui took it seriously and made a big bow of three kneels and nine bows, what is serious, even though there is a lot of noise in the cell, everyone present can also hear the sound of his forehead hitting the ground, this is serious, but also a grudge, since then the two of them Liangzi is completely concluded.

After the ceremony, Xu Jianping slowly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Rui outside, who could bend and stretch, which was much stronger than Shangguan Jin on the building ship in the past.

He knew the reason why Shangguan Rui was against him, it was nothing more than to stand up for Shangguan Jin, who was trampled under Xu Jianping's feet on the building boat in the past, maybe he didn't think about what he would do, after all, he came to take office with documents, but it was okay to humiliate himself like this, but Shangguan Rui obviously didn't expect things to develop to such a point.

Ge Qingyun was also very angry, one was that he lost his face today and ran to the dignitaries in the Imperial History Mansion, and the other was that because of this personal vendetta, he delayed the three-day time to solve the case. Ge Qingyun had already marked Shangguan Rui as a pig's head in his heart.

Many prisoners in the cell are also very excited at the moment, try to ask how have they ever seen the high Dali Temple Shaoqing to a cell in the people to make such a big ceremony, you must know that entering the Dali Temple cell has always been allowed to enter and not leave, now not only someone wants to go out, but also Dali Temple Qing personally led people, Shaoqing knelt three times and knocked nine times to ask him to go out, which has never happened in all dynasties.

Xu Jianping saw that the goal had been achieved, and the strange weather yesterday made him feel that something strange had happened in Kyoto, so he did not delay, got up and gave a bow to the outsiders, "Under Xu Jianping, the imperial history of the Xuanzi Imperial History, came to serve as the head of Dali Temple by His Majesty's hand." ”

Ge Qingyun was very anxious, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face, and said indifferently: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will handle the entry process first according to the procedures and start investigating the case as soon as possible." ”

Xu Jianping sniffed his body, and a stench came to his nose, "It's so good, but the investigation is not in a hurry, Xu has not returned home for three days, I'm afraid that someone is going to talk about it, go back first and wash up, and come back tomorrow, everyone, farewell." ”

Ge Qingyun "chuckled" in his heart, this young man from the countryside is so ignorant and can't see the urgency of the situation? But he couldn't help it, after all, it wasn't his fault in this matter, thinking of this, Ge Qingyun couldn't help but glared at Shangguan Rui, who was still kneeling on the ground, and it was more than enough to succeed.

Early the next morning, Xu Jianping took Wang Yishan and Xiao Zijun to the door of the Kyoto Criminal Prosecutor's Division, after yesterday's consultation, the case was jointly supervised by Dali Temple, Yushi Mansion, and the Criminal Prosecutor's Division.

Xu Jianping came to the Criminal Investigation Department today to investigate the only clue left in this case, that night Wei Jing nailed the body on the city wall with an arrow, "Xu Jianping in the Lower Imperial History Mansion came today to cooperate in the investigation of the theft of the Night Pearl." After speaking, he handed over the waist card in his hand to show his identity.

The guard at the door of the Criminal Prosecutor's Department obviously received the order from above, but simply glanced at the waist card to clarify his identity, and ran in to report, not as difficult as the gate of Dali Temple that day.

After a while, Shangguan Ling walked quickly with a group of people, and Da Lao Yuan arched his hands in front of his chest, and said heartily: "Brother Xu, the great Han poet immortal, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around him were dumbfounded, you must know the name of Xu Shixian, it is famous, but everyone does not know who it is, except for the people present in Jingzhou City in the past, and Xu Jianping, a few close people know, he is still more famous than people, and few people can match it with him, but Shangguan Ling is obviously an exception.

Xu Jianping has always been right about things and not people, hearing this person's hearty tone, he knew that this person was definitely not Shangguan Rui's generation, although they were three brothers, yes, the reason why Shangguan Rui came back to embarrass him after hearing Xu Jianping's introduction that day was because he was Shangguan Jin's brother.

Kyoto Shangguan family, one family and three masters, the eldest son Shangguan Ling, the four famous arresters of the Criminal Investigation Division, and the six-rank martial artist. The second son, Shangguan Rui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is a fourth-grade official, and then the third son Shangguan Jin, the former literati leader, the chief of the Jixia School Palace, and the champion of the new department.

Since he knew that he was in charge of this case, Xu Jianping recorded the information of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Investigation Department yesterday, and knew that this person was the Red Lian Iron Hand, so he also returned the salute: "Lord Shangguan, the words of others Liao are not credible, and they dare not be under the name, but the name of the four famous arrests, Brother Shangguan is worthy of this name." ”

When Shangguan Ling heard this, his heart was like eating a fly, this guy was really good at his mouth, but he couldn't jump out of the way, and he had already walked to the door while speaking, "Where, Brother Xu Liao Zan, come, please!" ”

In the coroner's room of the Criminal Prosecutor's Division, Zhou Buyi was meticulously examining the bones of Old Man Yang, with a "crunch", the room was pushed away, Zhou Buyi heard the sound behind him and turned around, and saw Shangguan Ling walking in with a young man, frowning, walking? But I felt that something was wrong, how could the person who was wearing a purple embroidered robe and could make Lord Shangguan treat him so politely was a companion?

Shangguan Ling pointed at Zhou Buyi, "Zhou Buyi, the criminal prosecution department's work, you can ask him if you have any questions." After speaking, he pointed to Xu Jianping beside him and said to Zhou Buyi: "Lord Xu of the Imperial History Mansion, come over to assist in the investigation of the theft of the Night Pearl, and cooperate a lot!" ”

Xu Jianping felt cordial when he saw it, after all, there are few people in this business, and this is the third person Xu Jianping has ever seen outside of the master.

Xu Jianping bowed his hand, and even said respectfully: "Under Xu Jianping, please ask Brother Zhou for more advice." ”

Zhou Buyi has been in the line for more than 20 years, except for Shangguan Ling and a few officials, very few people are willing to talk to him, let alone use honorifics, he couldn't help but look stunned, and then grinned, "Lord Xu, I can't talk about advice, if you need help, just ask." ”

After finishing speaking, he led the two of them to a long case, "Brother Xu, this is the body of one of the thieves that night." ”

Xu Jianping looked around the long case and asked casually, "Tell me, what's going on with the corpse." ”

Zhou Buyi didn't pour the ink, and said directly: "The body was sent in the early hours of the morning seven days ago, and according to the results of the current examination and the evidence of Lord Shangguan, the deceased died from a bow and arrow, which penetrated from the back to the chest. According to his appearance and bone analysis, this person is about 45 years old, and he should be a person from the Swallow Gate in the front hall, and you can see that there is a thick stack of calluses on the soles of his feet, and there are countless old strangulation marks on his ankles, indicating that this person has been practicing light skills all year round, and there are several swallow marks pinned to his waist, so now it is suspected that this person or Zhao Fei is later, Lord Shangguan is currently in Kyoto to investigate the whereabouts of the rest of the Yanzi Gate. With that, he took out a document from under the long case and handed it to Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping opened the book, it was an autopsy analysis report, although it was not comprehensive, but it was rare in this era.

Xu Jianping looked through it, returned it to Zhou Buyi, and asked, "What do you mean, this corpse was here seven days ago?" ”

Zhou Buyi nodded, is this wrong? said: "Well, Zhou personally examined the corpse seven days ago. ”

Xu Jianping was not in a hurry, leaned down, carefully examined the face of the corpse, and then took out the wooden box that had not been seen for a long time, took out the gloves from the inside, put them on, and then stretched out his hand to pull the corpse's eyelids open, carefully looked at the pupils inside, and then took out a hollow long needle of about seven inches from the wooden box, a needle was inserted from the heart, and a fishy blood flowed out of the mouth of the tube, Xu Jianping took out the six-inch double-edged broken knife from the wooden box again, cut a small piece of meat from the abdomen of the corpse, and picked it up with a sharp knife, I walked to the window and took advantage of the sunlight shining from the window to carefully study the sound for a while.

"That's not right!"

Xu Jianping turned his head abruptly and said to the two:

"The body is fresh and will not be dead for more than a day...... Or rather, this corpse is a living corpse......"

"What......"
