An hour later, Xue Junwei brought the boxy box back to the Crime Division, and the contents were neatly placed on the case.

It's a very strange combination, a scarred skull, and a robe, a degree.

"There are so many things in the dark room, you only bring out these few items?" Scarlet asked, standing in front of the desk looking at the things.

"It's a lot."

Xue Junwu put his hands on the case, and looked at the front carefully: "But most of them have special significance to the princess and concubine, and when this limelight passes, let the princess take all of them back to the princess's mansion." ”

"Is this stuff meaningless, or is there some other use?"

As Scarlet Cloud spoke, he reached out and picked up the skull he was holding and took a look, the skull had scratches of varying severity all over the place, and it was obvious that he had been beaten badly.

Most importantly, the owner of this skull must have died quite miserable, because the heaviest scar was caused by an axe-type heavy weapon, and more than once.

If it weren't for some deep hatred, it wouldn't have whipped the corpse like this.

"Can you see any clues?" Xue Jun raised his head and asked Scarlet Cloud.

"There are only bones left, and there are still clues to be seen."

Scarlet Cloud shook his head: "However, the owner of this skull suffered inhumane torture before he died, but you can see it at a glance. ”

"I can see that, too."

Xue Jun glanced at the scarlet clouds with a worried face, stretched out his hand to pick up the Zhang Dumu, looked at the vaguely recognizable handwriting on it, and read it silently in his heart.

After reading it, Xue Jun couldn't help but feel a foul breath in his heart.

"Mingguo monk."

Xue Junwu threw the robe in his hand: "At least I can confirm that the owner of the robe is a monk from the Ming Kingdom." ”

"What about this skull?"

"The skull, of course, is not."

Xue Jun's eyes were full of affirmation: "Although the people of Mingguo are cruel and ruthless, they are quite in awe of things like gods and Buddhas, and it is common for wicked people to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they will never cruelty monks like this." ”

"Then why does my aunt keep this?"

"Two possibilities." Xue Jun raised his head and replied:

"The first possibility is that this skull is the skull of a person who is an acquaintance of Emperor Gongsun and Concubine Gongsun, but for some reason, in the hands of the people of Mingguo, in the end, it took a lot of effort for Emperor Gongsun to get it back from Mingguo, and this degree and robe are used for camouflage.

The second possibility is that this skull and robe are both the same master, but they were not injured in the Ming Kingdom, but were captured in the Entropy Kingdom, tortured, and finally in the hands of the Gongsun Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. ”

"And what do you think is the most likely?" Scarlet Cloud lowered the skull and asked.

Xue Junwu stretched out a finger: "Twenty years ago, the Dongming Rebellion, but anyone in the Entropy Country should know about it, right?" ”

"You think this skull came twenty years ago?"

"Yes."

Xue Junwu nodded, as if he remembered something outrageous: "Twenty years ago, the Dongming Rebellion, there were too many cruel and inhumane, and those soldiers of the Ming Kingdom liked to use axes to chop off the heads of entropic people as firewood, so when I looked at the skull scars, I felt that it was very similar to an incident that happened back then." ”

"Which thing?" Scarlet Cloud asked.

"What happened after the martyrdom of the loyal martyr Marquis Li Yi."

Xue Junwei stood up, and hatred was hatred in his eyes: "The first thing to bear the brunt of the Dongming Rebellion was Dongjie City, but after the Ming people slaughtered the city, they adopted the tactics of pretending to retreat and secretly setting up ambushes.

Two months later, the then general of the Entropy State, Li Yi, led his troops to help, and was suddenly ambushed when the soldiers and horses entered Dongjie City to station, and finally the Loyal Martyr Marquis died of exhaustion.

Since then, I have heard a legend that the people of Mingguo cut off the head of the Marquis of Chunglie in order to commemorate that heroic and outstanding military exploit, intending to make a skull cup and present it to the king. ”

"And then?" Scarlet Cloud was depressed for a while when he heard this, it was a great shame to make the head of a country's great general into a vessel!

"No more."

Xue Jun shook his head worriedly: "There are only these legends in the market, after all, the people of Mingguo slaughtered more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Dongjiecheng back then, and it is really impossible to say whether there are any locals who survived." ”

Having said that, but the funny thing is that Xue Junwei is the one who survived, and he still has a real memory.

"So you think this skull is the skull of the loyal martyr Marquis who died in Dongzhou back then." Scarlet Cloud slowly put down the skull in his hand, and his demeanor was a little more respectful than when he picked it up before: "Even if it is the skull of the Loyal Martyr Marquis, why should the aunt be put away as the imperial concubine, and why don't you tell Your Majesty?" ”

"Probably... The reason is also the cause of the death of Emperor Gongsun's concubine. ”

Xue Jun said worriedly, and put the skull and robe back in the box: "Anyway, the owner of this skull suffered a lot of torture in his life, go to the coffin shop another day, let the store pinch a clay body, and then bury it first... I've double-checked, and it's a simple skull, and there's nothing else hidden. ”

"You're kind." Scarlet Cloud looked at Xue Jun, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "I'm not afraid that this is really a Mingguo person, don't you hate Mingguo people the most?" ”

"Yes and no."

Xue Junwu raised his head and mentioned the people of Mingguo, but there was still only hatred in his eyes: "I really want to kill them when I see them, but... I killed them out of the revenge of the year, people only have one death, I directly killed them to take revenge, torture and kill them, then I am no different from their kind of beasts.

Anyway, I'm happy to see them die, but if it's so miserable, it's better to let them be buried in the ground. ”

While the two were talking, Lu Li pushed the door in again at this time, still panting in his mouth.

"Great, deputy director, the little one thought you weren't there."

As soon as he saw Lu Li breaking in, Xue Jun's worried face changed, and something definitely happened again.

Sure enough, it was dead again, in a medical hall in Xicheng, the headless corpse as always, and the corpse as always was engraved with tea flowers.

... ...

Xue Junwei quickly changed into his official uniform and rushed to the scene of the crime again, but once Scarlet Cloud didn't come over, after all, Scarlet Jue also had his mother's maid in a coma.

Scarlet Cloud wants to go back and pretend to be an illusion that Xue Junwu brought people into the secret vault, rather than the reality that the head of the family under him is also involved.

One person came to the market where the medical hall was located, there were already a lot of people in front of the courtyard, Xue Junwei penetrated into the crowd, looked up at the plaque, this medical hall is quite familiar to him, it is the one who sent Wang Yanhui over that day.

As soon as he entered with the token, he saw that the old man Langzhong and Wang Qinqin were being questioned by the officials of the imperial capital.

"Brother Xue..."

Wang Qinqin obviously also saw Xue Jun's worries, and after being questioned, he walked over to greet him.

Qin Qin's face was not very good, obviously he had seen the corpse.

"You... Become an official?! Seeing Xue Junwei wearing a standard official uniform, Wang Qinqin's face looked better.

"A petty official."

Xue Junwei smiled, after he came out of prison, he also visited the two brothers and sisters a few times, Wang Yanhui in addition to the need to move with a cane, the life of the brother and sister is not too bad, not to mention that Qin Qin still has a job to do.

After Xue Junwu and Qin Qin made some brief greetings, they moved to the second floor of the post house.

On the porch on the second floor, there were three rooms on the left and right, and the horrific corpse was lying sideways at the end.

Blood stained the entire floor beneath him, and a large camellia flower was carved into his back.

"Surprising..."

Xue Junwu squatted in front of the corpse, his brows furrowed tightly, and he originally planned to pick a day with Scarlet Cloud to lure the woman who was related to Chang Longbo out.

But before they were ready, they did such a horrific thing again, and they were still in the hospital.

Wait, the medical hall...

Xue Jun seemed to have noticed something in his heart, since it was a medical hall, he must have come to heal, so Lao Langzhong must have seen what the deceased looked like.

After a short time, Qi Zuo walked out of another room, and after seeing Xue Junwu squatting outside the door, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"Is it the same?"

Xue Junwu was too lazy to ask, but did he just ask if it was consistent with the previous deceased's death?

Na Zuo nodded: "Hui Lord, it's the same, but..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and held a document on it.

Xue Jun was stunned for a while, but he was not surprised, after all, if he came here for treatment, he would definitely be discovered. He had dealt with the masked woman before, so naturally he knew that he would find out, so it was better to leave clues directly.

Just like those crossbow arrows guarded in the imperial capital.

Xue Junwu opened the paper, frowned, and moved lightly: "Wang Zheng, the county lieutenant of Donglin County, Dongzhou... O great officer. ”

Sure enough, it is still related to the Marquis of Tanglin.

Xue Jun thought clearly in his heart, the Chang Longbo family must have been killed by the Marquis of Tanglin, and this tea flower corpse case must also be the revenge of Chang Longbo's closest relatives.

But the question is, they are all local officials in Dongzhou, why do they frequently steal the imperial capital, and the tea flower corpse case first happened ten years ago, and in the past ten years, more than 30 local officials have come to the imperial capital privately.

Thinking in his heart, Xue Junwu considered that Qin Qin was working in this medical hall, and the waste of time would not have a good impact on the medical hall, so he waved his hand at the man and asked him to carry the body back first.

After finishing the order, Xue Junxian walked into the room where he had come out, which was where the corpse had been before.

The room is not big, and the furnishings are very simple, a cabinet, a chair and a bed.

Xue Junwu first opened the cabinet and saw that it was empty, so he lay down under the bed and looked again, it was dark and couldn't see clearly, he casually found a long object and pulled it inside, but there was nothing.

Then Xue Junwei opened a few porcelain bottles placed at random at the bedside and took a look, but he was directly stunned when he opened it.

He was stunned, and then poured out the bottle in his hand towards the bedding on the bed, which turned out to be several hard and thin pills mixed with soft glutinous pills.

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Junwei had found a few in Ning'an Palace before, he might not have been able to recognize them at a glance.
