Xue Junwei took out the few hard and fine pills he carried with him, put them in his silk scarf hand and carefully observed them for a while.

Although I don't know if the effect is different, the appearance and hardness are exactly the same.

However, since you have come to the medical hall, it is better to ask about the origin of this pill by the way by investigating the case.

So Xue Jun went straight down to the hall of the medical hall and happened to see Lao Langzhong who was still being questioned.

Xue Jun shouted and retired from the imperial capital officials, and opened the silk scarf in his hand to show Lao Langzhong.

"Sir, I found a few pill-like things here, can you help me see what these things are?"

The old man with a wisp of beard took the silk scarf, his eyebrows were frowning, and he was about to reach out to pick it up, but was stopped by Xue Jun's worry.

"No problem."

Lao Langzhong smiled kindly at Xue Jun, signaling him to feel at ease: "This medicine should be taken internally, even if it is poison, it will not leave too much toxicity after a short touch." ”

After speaking, Lao Langzhong picked one up and pinched it between his fingers a few times.

"Hard as a stone."

The old man's deep eyes rolled in his sockets, and then he put the pill close to his nose and sniffed it, but there was no smell at all.

So he instructed Wang Qinqin, who was looking at him together, "Qinqin, go and get a bowl of water." ”

"Okay." After hearing this, Wang Qinqin immediately turned around and left.

It didn't take long for a bowl of water to come, and Lao Langzhong put the pill into the water.

The three of them stood around the bowl of water for a long time, but they didn't see the pill melt a bit, and the bowl of water didn't change at all.

"This hard, tasteless pill should be the shell."

After another half an hour, Lao Langzhong came to a conclusion, and then took the pill out of the water, put it in his hand again and touched it.

After touching it back and forth again, Lao Langzhong found a relatively hard and brittle place and pinched it.

The hard black pill immediately shattered into a corner, and the colorless liquid that flowed out of it flowed into the bowl of clear water.

The old man picked up and sniffed it, there was no smell, but he could vaguely smell a smell of herbs.

"It should be a colorless and odorless potion."

Lao Langzhong put down the bowl of water and seemed to have some conclusions: "It's just what it's for, forgive me for being a shallow old bone, and I can't tell it." ”

"Is it really tasteless?" Xue Junwu didn't look like the old man was tasteless just now.

"The medicine inside is tasteless." Lao Langzhong opened his mouth and replied: "But the shell should be made of Lisu, Lisu will be very hard after slowly boiling into black pulp, and a long time ago, the people of Mingguo would use the black pulp boiled by Lisu as a secret letter container to pass out of the city." ”

"Mingguo people..."

Xue Junwu suddenly understood, there must be people from the Ming Kingdom among the group of people who assassinated Emperor Gongsun and the concubine back then, and it should be the same team as the group of people from the Ming Kingdom who were ambushed in the Changlong Bo Mansion he met yesterday.

But in the Imperial Capital City, if you can hide such a large number of people from the Ming Kingdom without hiding from the Nine Infant Capital Protectors, only the royal family should have this ability.

Looking back at the letter written by the governor of Dongzhou to Chang Longbo back then, all the secrets that connected all this should be in the imperial capital Neiying Mansion that had an affair with Dongling.

And on the bright side, there are only two people who may be related to Tanglin Hou, Princess Lingyang and the fourth princess.

"Brother Xue, does this pill have anything to do with the corpse upstairs?"

Just as Xue Jun was thinking about it, Wang Qinqin beside him spoke.

"It shouldn't be related."

Xue Junwu looked up at Wang Qinqin, but he always felt that something was wrong with her face, so he asked again: "What's the matter, Qinqin, have you seen it?" ”

"I haven't seen it."

Wang Qinqin shook his head, but said something else.

She said that before closing last night, she saw two specially dressed women coming.

The woman who came first was dressed as a noblewoman, she was very beautiful, and she had a particularly strong smell of herbs.

The woman and the deceased should have known each other, and the two had a big quarrel on it later, among which Wang Qinqin vaguely heard them talking about pills, Liang Pingxiao, Nanzhou fire and other things.

About half an hour later, a second woman entered, dressed in black, with a long, sharp sword in her hand.

This woman just came to buy medicine, because her whole face was covered with a black cloth, so Wang Qinqin remembered it clearly.

After that, the two men left the medical hall one after the other.

It wasn't until Wang Qinqin closed the door and went home that she met the woman with a long sword on the street.

"What kind of longsword is it?"

Xue Junwu asked, and even measured the length of the sword used by the masked woman before.

"It's not..."

Wang Qinqin shook his head and denied it, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "It's the kind of long knife that some cavalry carry, but it's a long sword, and it looks particularly sharp." ”

Although Xue Junwu had never seen it, he knew very well in his heart that that the sharp long sword was the murder weapon in the Cha Lihua corpse case.

Sure enough, the woman who looked like Chang Longbo was not a murderer, but just an accomplice.

The lady who smelled of herbs that Qin Qin said before was the woman.

However, there are a few points that Xue Junwu still cares about, Wang Qinqin mentioned Liang Pingxiao and the Nanzhou fire.

The Nanzhou fire should be the fire in Nanyun Wangfu sixteen years ago.

But who is Liang Pingxiao? Xue Junwei had read all the files related to the Cha Lihua corpse case and the Nanyun Wangfu fire case.

I don't remember this person. But if it comes to the fire in Nanyun Palace, Xue Junwu should indeed go to meet his friends for a while.

After all, when he first took office, his original plan was to handle the case of Nanyun Wangfu first.

It just so happened that since they were all pulled together, Xue Jun simply did it together.

... ...

Xue Junwu interrogated Hua unintentionally overnight.

The two were directly interrogated in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Hua Wuyi didn't seem to be very surprised, and even felt that Xue Junwu was a little slower than he had expected.

"To tell you the truth, I thought that Brother Xue would interrogate me last night."

Hua had no expression on her face, perhaps she should say that the face that had been burned by the fire would always have only a terrifying feeling.

"I really planned to meet Brother Hua yesterday."

Xue Junwu was unimpressed, and smiled at him: "It's a pity that something happened yesterday, so I couldn't meet Brother Hua." ”

"It's the corpse of the Chang Longbo family." Hua unintentionally said, "Today's prison officer has been mentioning this matter. ”

Xue Junwu knew that the other party was deliberately pulling away from the topic, but he didn't want to give it a chance at all.

So he shook his head and answered him directly: "No, it's another thing, a man named Liang Pingxiao died and was beheaded. ”

"What?!"

Hua muttered unintentionally, her face suddenly startled, but soon changed back to her original appearance: "Well, we really haven't heard from the cell boss about this. ”

"That's nature."

The corners of Xue Jun's mouth curled slightly, and he noticed a trace of unusualness on Hua Wuyi's face: "We only found out the identity of Liang Pingxiao today, but looking at Brother Hua's face, you should know this person named Liang Pingxiao." ”

When the words fell, Hua unintentionally looked up at Xue Junwu, and there seemed to be no dodge in his eyes: "Brother Xue, in a sense, we can be regarded as having spent time together in the prison of the Criminal Department." So you and my brother just open the skylight and say something. ”

"That's a good point."

Xue Junwu nodded: "Then Brother Hua, just say it directly, I will do my best to protect you." ”

"I don't have much to say."

Hua Yiyi shook her head with a wry smile on her face: "You know, I won't say it, I didn't talk much about my affairs when I was in prison. ”

"Just because you are the righteous son of the king of Nan'an? Or is it that the fire in the Nagumo Mansion was originally done by you? ”

Xue Junwu said bluntly, he had already made a lot of preparations for the arraignment of the flower.

But no amount of preparation is as easy as going straight ahead.

However, to Xue Jun's surprise, Hua Wuyi seemed to have expected it a long time ago. Hearing what he said, his face was even more indifferent, and even a little relaxed.

"I had already guessed that Brother Xue would know about this matter."

Hua didn't intend to swallow slowly, and at first glance, it was deliberate: "After all, the dossier of the Nine Infant Capital Protector Mansion has always been kept, and such a big living person really won't evaporate from the world." ”

"Then why did you end up in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

In fact, even if you don't have to ask, Xue Junwei can guess a thing or two.

As the righteous son of Nanyun Wang, there are only two reasons why he can be forced into the prison of the Criminal Department.

One is to avoid the pursuit that King Nanyun can't even settle.

The second is to avoid the pursuit of King Nanyun.

Xue Junwei had read Hua Wuyi's file before, and it was obvious that Hua Wuyi's case had not been convicted, and it was because of King Nanyun.

Therefore, the second possibility is excluded, and naturally the first one remains.

Hua's unintentional answer was actually similar to what Xue Junwu had guessed.

In the clouds, there is both the meaning of recognition and the meaning of confirmation.

However, Hua had no intention of smiling, and wanted to do a business with Xue Jun.

Xue Jun looked at him suspiciously: "What business?" ”

"I can tell you who Liang Pingxiao is, but on the other hand, you can't tell anyone about me."

While speaking, Hua unintentionally regretted a little on his face: "After all, you are the only one who can guess my identity, and if you knew this, you wouldn't reveal a little nonsense to your brothers in that dark prison." ”

"That's also something that can't be helped, whoever calls it is a coincidence."

Xue Jun replied worriedly, but he didn't want to do this business in his heart, so he subtly changed: "Liang Pingxiao is dead, I know who he is and what is the use of who he is not... Why don't we change it, and you tell me directly about his relationship with you. ”

"He has nothing to do with me."

Hua unintentionally responded: "And I think Liang Pingxiao shouldn't be dead yet, you're bluffing me." Before I came, I had heard from the cell boss that two more bodies had come out of the headless case in the past two days, but the deceased in this case never left any information. ”

"And you're still talking to me so much?"

Xue Junwei was a little depressed, feeling that he had done too much.

Hua Wuyi didn't think so: "I told Brother Xue so much because I heard you talk about Liang Pingxiao, since this name came out of your mouth, it was natural to find him." ”

After a pause, Hua Wuyi's face seemed to suddenly become serious, and he continued: "I really can't talk about my affairs with anyone, but Liang Pingxiao, he is also related to the fire back then, you must not let him die." ”

Hearing this, Xue Junwei did not agree to him, nor did he refuse him.

After all, two corpses have come out, and there is nothing to prove that the first headless corpse is that Liang Pingxiao.
