And the death was extremely mutilated, the head was cut off, and the head was taken away by the killer.

The county lord already has martial arts, as well as left and right protectors, front and back guards, and personal maids, no matter how Jiang Jun thinks about it, he doesn't think this will be a prank.

"Let Xiao Nan take Xiao Bei back first, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it."

Li Ran objected: "It's better to know earlier than later, and this matter is so strange, and I still need him to help, whether it is the county lord or not, only he can identify." ”

"It's too cruel, they have such a good relationship, how can Xiaobei bear it?"

"If not, the people in the banquet hall will be able to go home, and they won't be able to stand the wait."

Gonggong Zhang saw that the two of them were deadlocked and said: "The military advisor is right, general, let the Northern Prince confirm it, in case, you didn't tell the Northern Prince as soon as possible, maybe he will blame you!" ”

Jiang Jun had no better way, and the three of them returned to the place where Beixing Hao and his party were waiting, and Zhang Gong said fairly: "Please go with our family." ”

So the group followed Gonggong Zhang to the place where the crime occurred, the county lord's bedroom.

On the way, Song Mo looked at Jiang Jun, who was dull and silent, and asked with concern, "General, what happened?" ”

Jiang Jun looked at Beixing Hao and didn't know how to answer Song Mo, and then looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at Jiang Jun, who was embarrassed, and said, "Do you want me to talk about it?" ”

Bei Xinghao looked at Jiang Jun, who looked abnormal along the way, and also asked with concern: "General, what happened?" Say yes, maybe we can help. ”

Jiang Jun muttered helplessly in his heart, I really want you to help, and I am about to go to the county lord's bedroom.

Jiang Jun's heart was crossed, he walked in front of Bei Xinghao, held his wrist and said: "Xiaobei, something happened just now, you have to be prepared before you hear it, and you must take care of your body." ”

He said to Nan Huangqiu again: "Xiao Nan is going to hold Xiao Bei later, I'm afraid he will faint." ”

Bei Xinghao was confused when he heard it, and felt funny: "What the general said is so terrible, it is difficult for someone to die." ”

Nan Huangqiu on the side listened to Jiang Jun's words obediently, approached Bei Xinghao, and guarded him.

Jiang Jun nodded solemnly, with a sad expression.

Bei Xinghao looked up in the direction of the bedroom in front of him, and exclaimed, "Sister Yao?" What happened to Yao Mei? How is that possible? No, it won't......"

After a series of questions, Beixinghao suddenly rushed to the bedroom.

Nan Huangqiu chased out almost at the same speed, and Jiang Jun and his party also followed closely when they saw this.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lord Yao's personal maid Shuli being overly frightened and loyally guarding the corpse.

Seeing Bei Xinghao, he rushed to his feet like seeing a relative, "Eighth Prince, the county lord died so miserably!" You must be the master of the county. ”

Shuli had tears in her eyes, and her expression was sad and angry.

Bei Xinghao saw the remnants of the corpse, and almost fainted with horror and grief, but fortunately, Nan Huangqiu comforted him, otherwise there would be another murder.

Yan Bingchao said: "Don't be sad for the prince of the north, confirm the corpse, maybe it's not the county lord?" ”

After hearing this, Beixing Hao stabilized his breath, walked to the corpse, and examined it carefully.

When he saw a plum-like scar on the corpse's right arm, he cried out heartbreakingly: "Sister Yao, how can this be, which beast did it, I must let him break the corpse into ten thousand pieces." ”

He raised his head and said to the East Emperor: "Where have the guards of the Donglin Kingdom gone, how did they guard, how did they let such a thief in, the East Emperor should not deceive us that there is no one in the North Forest Kingdom." ”

Originally, everyone still had a glimmer of hope, whether they had made a mistake, but after listening to Beixing Hao's frowning and holding him accountable, they all accepted this unexpected and sad incident.

The Eastern Emperor said with a friendly face: "I am also very sad when this happens, and the Northern Emperor can rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate the murderer and give an explanation to the Northern Forest Kingdom." ”

Jiang Jun also hurriedly comforted: "Xiaobei, if something like this happens, Donghuang is also unpredictable, don't be too sad, your own body is important, so you can severely punish the murderer." ”

Beixing Hao held back his tears and firmly held Nan Huangqiu's hand, his body trembled slightly due to excessive sadness, like a rose in the wind and rain, still beautiful but very fragile.

After listening to Jiang Jun's words, he didn't feel much less sad, and he still looked at the corpse fixedly.

Nan Huangqiu hugged Bei Xinghao's shoulder, "Don't look at it, the county lord is so beautiful, I don't want you to see her like this, I believe that the Eastern Emperor and the general will definitely avenge the county lord." Shall we go back to the General's Mansion first? ”

Bei Xinghao nodded, without words, and let Nan Huangqiu hug him and bring him back to the General's Mansion.

The Eastern Emperor immediately ordered the whole city to be strictly banned, and he also wanted to find the murderer's momentum and investigate the suspicious characters in the city.

Banquet attendees were all imprisoned in a dungeon to record their confessions, while dignitaries were not allowed to leave the palace pending investigation.

Where did those local tyrants and aristocrats suffer from the cold prison bed, and the delicate flowers were even more frightened and cried for their fathers and mothers.

The most tired are the clerks of the Zongren Mansion, listening to their complaints every day, interrogating them all night, and recording confessions.

After three days, more than 200 people were finally recorded. However, the confessions did not have much effect, they all said that they were eating, they did not see the county lord, and they did not leave the banquet.

There are all kinds of witnesses, that is, they eat together on the left and right, and they are all very consistent, and they discuss which dishes are delicious or not delicious together.

Even those who went to the toilet halfway were very consistent, and they went to the toilet with so-and-so, or met so-and-so when they went to the toilet, and discussed a certain dish together.

It's really seamless, and there is no one who wants to find someone to carry the black pot.

Besides, the Eastern Emperor couldn't bear to let innocent people suffer trumped-up charges, and he didn't order torture or anything, and the head of the main county lord was not found, so this black cauldron was not easy to operate.

Originally, it was a grand event, but now the Eastern Emperor is one head and two big, and Beilin Guo is urging to give an explanation, and the people of the Zongren Mansion can't be locked up all the time.

The house was clean and tidy, there were no traces of fighting, and after the maid left the night, the county lord said that he was too full to eat and wanted to lie down, so he didn't go to the scene to wait for the result, and there was no other abnormal behavior.

For a while, the people in the palace were panicked, saying that Concubine Luo was starting to ask for her life, and some even more evil people said that they saw a woman dancing in the Star Palace at night.

When science couldn't explain it, the ancients liked to use ghosts to explain it.

Now the biggest suspicion is that the maid Shu has left, and in the Zongren Mansion, Jiang Jun accompanied the emperor to listen to this final interrogation.

Shuli was put up by two servants, her hair was messy, her face was bloodless, and she was obviously tortured.

Zhang Tingwei asked without pity: "The county lord originally brought 2 guards and 2 maids. Why are you alone on the last day. ”

Shuli raised his head, looked at Zhang Tingwei, and replied without fear at all: "The other county lords arranged for them to transport the auctioned treasures back to China first. ”

"Why do you want to transport it back first, are these treasures more important than the safety of the county lord?"

"Because these treasures are fragile and go slowly, the county lord will let Ce Feng and them take a carriage to transport them back first, and then let Ce Feng ride back to pick us up after the banquet."

"And the county lord thinks that there is a tiger general here, and the security must be fine."

"After the dinner, the county lord thought that it would take a long time to count the votes, saying that he was too full to eat and wanted to go back to lie down, and when he went back, he told her that if I came out of the ranking, I must call her to see it, but when I went back, the county lord was killed." Shuli choked up and couldn't cry.

"You mean you were looking at the results of the vote at the time of the incident, but according to our investigation, no one saw you at the banquet that night."

"At that time, the banquet hall was full of people who watched the results, who would pay attention to the existence of my little maid."

"You are not a little maid, you are the personal maid of the first beauty in the world, how can those lustful people neglect your existence."

Shuli sneered, "Isn't Zhang Tingwei tossing me so much because he can't find the murderer and wants to frame me for debt?" It is said that the lord of Donglin Country is benevolent and close to the people, is this how incompetent people are allowed to hastily settle the case? ”

"What a sharp-toothed maid who shirks her responsibilities completely. The guards saw you frequently entering and exiting the county lord's bedroom, and there was no other figure in sight, still quibbling. ”

"The county lord has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, although his martial arts are not outstanding, how can I, a person who has no power to restrain chickens, kill her without making a sound."

Shuli looked directly at Zhang Tingwei, with a hint of sneer, and continued: "Have you found the tool?" Or did anyone see that Tingwei's judgment of the case was all made up by nonsense? ”
