Bai Yu saw the filamentous red light spread to an inn, paused for a while, and then spread towards the city gate.

"Does this indicate that the murderer stayed in the inn for one night and went out of town?"

He was not in a hurry to check the inn first, and rode out of the city with Hongguang on horseback.

"This is the direction to the Imperial City, where the murderer hid? Or someone from the Imperial City itself? ”

He followed the red light all the way.

Soon, it was at the gate of the imperial city.

A filament-like red light spread into the imperial city.

Bai Yu followed into the imperial city.

The red light passed through the streets to the area where the princes, nobles, and dignitaries lived.

Bai Yu followed.

The patrol team here is very dense, Bai Yu was interrogated, and the treasure seal of the man from Qifeng County was shown, but he was not embarrassed.

He continued to follow the red light, and when he saw that the red light finally spread into a vast mansion, he stopped completely.

Bai Yu looked at the plaque above the gate, with the words "Jiangfu" written in gold, and the handwriting dragon flying phoenix dancing iron painting silver hook, highlighting the extraordinary owner of this mansion.

He remembered the holy decree that he had been awarded the title of Qifeng County man, and the handwriting on the holy decree was exactly the same as the handwriting of "Jiangfu", which was obviously given by the emperor's imperial pen.

This made him feel that his head was big, the door plaques were all written by the emperor, and the identity of the owner of the mansion could be imagined, how could he check this?

"The murderer hid in the mansion, or was he a member of the mansion?"

Bai Yu pondered for a moment, leaning more towards the latter.

Because he saw the filament-like red light not climbing over the wall and entering the mansion, but entering the mansion through the gate in a grand manner, which means that the murderer has a certain identity in the mansion, and he is not sneaky at all.

"This brother, who is that magnificent mansion in front?"

Bai Yu stopped a passing boy.

Brother Gongzi looked at him strangely, "Naturally, it is the home of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I don't know where you slipped in, if you are found by the patrol, you will have to eat a meal of flesh and skin, and you will leave quickly." ”

"I'm just curious to take a look."

Bai Yu rode around and left.

Jinyiwei is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor, and the commander is the leader of the entire Jinyiwei, and he is an important minister around the emperor, with a high and powerful position, and is not under the six Shangshu.

Why did the murderer end up in the house of the Commander, and what was the relationship between the two?

Huang Cheng was killed, does it have anything to do with the commander of the capital?

The first question, Bai Yu couldn't figure it out for the time being.

The second question is that he thinks that Huang Cheng's death should have nothing to do with the commander of the capital.

You must know that Huang Chengcheng is a lowly official, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard is an important minister of the court under one person and above tens of thousands of people, so it is almost impossible for there to be any intersection.

Another point is that Huang Cheng escorted the exiled prisoner away for ten years, and after he came back, he had no time to go out and offend people, let alone offend the commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard.

Coming out of the imperial city, Bai Yu returned to Qifeng County and went straight to the inn.

"Ouch, sir, what wind has blown you here, I said how I heard the magpie cry early in the morning."

The shopkeeper, who was planning to settle the accounts, saw Bai Yu, and hurriedly nodded with a smile and came out of the counter.

Now Bai Yu is the "man of the hour" in Qifeng County, the owner of Tianxiang Yulu and the man of Qifeng County, with the two halos, almost everyone knows it.

Bai Yu said, "Show me the guest list who stayed last night." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the roster, "There were fourteen people staying last night, all here, please take a look." ”

Bai Yu took the roster and looked through it carefully, but he didn't find anyone from "Jiangfu", and it was very likely that the murderer used a pseudonym, and this roster was of little value.

He asked the shopkeeper, "Are there any abnormalities among the fourteen people who stayed last night?" ”

The shopkeeper half-bowed and looked at his face cautiously, "I heard that Tianxiang Yulu died, could the murderer be the guest who stayed at the hotel last night?" The small inn just opens the door to do business, and it has nothing to do with the small inn, sir. ”

Bai Yu glanced at the shopkeeper, "You can answer whatever I ask, don't ask what you shouldn't know." ”

The shopkeeper even claimed that it was, and thought for a while, "The guest who stayed last night was nothing abnormal to say that it was abnormal, but there was a guest who impressed Xiao, and the guest was a son, richly dressed, and his words and deeds were also personable, not like a guest house." ”

"Which one is him?"

Bai Yu showed the roster to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper pointed to a name, "This." ”

Bai Yu looked at the name "Lu Renjia", the murderer just used a pseudonym, and he used it so casually, he didn't seem to be worried about being found out at all, and he was extremely conceited.

"You come with me to the yamen."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was almost frightened, and his face turned pale, "Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with the small inn!" ”

Bai Yu said, "I didn't say it had anything to do with you, I just asked you to go to the yamen, tell me in detail about the appearance of this guest, and let the painter paint it." ”

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yu took the shopkeeper to the Yamen of Qifeng County, found the painter, and asked the shopkeeper to talk and the painter to paint.

In about half an hour, the portrait was ready.

"Is that him?"

Bai Yu stared at the portrait.

Although the level of the painter is not very good, only six or seven points are similar, Bai Yu still recognizes it, it is the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu he has seen in Linfu County!

At that time, Bai Yu was still envious of others, he was young, he was already a thousand households in brocade clothes, he was a good five-year, and he was young and promising.

Why did such a young leader kill an unknown official Huang Cheng?

Bai Yu couldn't figure it out, waved his hand to let the painter and the shopkeeper leave, and folded the portrait away.

This portrait can only prove that the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu stayed in the inn last night, and it cannot prove that Huang Cheng was killed, because Bai Yu's reconnaissance eye could see why the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu appeared in the inn, but others couldn't see it.

"Why is he in the palace of the commander of the capital, just a subordinate of the commander of the capital, or a nephew?"

This is an important question.

If it's just a subordinate, it's okay to say, as long as the evidence is sufficient, the commander doesn't need to be too maintained, there are a lot of subordinates, this is not good, just replace it.

But if it is a son and nephew, it is different, even if the final evidence is conclusive, the commander will still protect the short, as the leader of the Jinyi Guard, the important minister around the emperor, it is too easy to keep the son or nephew who committed a small murder.

Pluck a leg hair casually, thicker than Bai Yu's thighs, how can Bai Yu fight with others?

"Huang Cheng, Huang Cheng, what did you do, why did such a young and promising Jinyi Wei Qianhu kill you."

Bai Yu felt powerless, don't look at the scenery of Qifeng County, in the eyes of the real big people in the imperial city, he may not even be a fart.
