Inside the secret room, the futon was empty.

The corpse of 'Ming Chongyan', who was originally sitting on it, has long since disappeared.

There was only one corpse in the entire chamber.

"Corpse oil is not visible at normal temperatures, and can only be displayed under high temperatures."

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Shiyin Zhenren, no matter what, he won't go to Danding to sit down before he cultivates, not to mention that he is already dead in advance." ”

"Don't say who the corpse is." Zhao Gong waved his hand and said seriously: "Since the corpse was hidden in the Danding, and then moved to the futon, it means that there was a third person here...... Whether this third person is a killer or not, he knows more than I do, so, find him. ”

"Of course." Li Xuan raised his head, looked outside the top of the secret room, and said softly: "Now that my nephew is here, it will inevitably attract the attention of all sides, once it is discovered, there will inevitably be people who are impatient, so we might as well make it bigger, and then chase it backwards, we can always find something." ”

"You want to take this tripod with you." Zhao Gong immediately understood Li Xuan's thoughts, he was startling the snake.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "If no one comes to ask, we won't say anything, and if someone asks, we will say that we found a piece of jade pendant left by the corpse in Dingli,...... A jade pendant that can prove the identity of the corpse. ”

"How can there be a jade pendant." Zhao Gong couldn't help but be stunned, and asked puzzledly: "The various ministries have checked here more than once, and there is no jade pendant at all." ”

"Yes, it is not surprising that some people in the court know about it, but outside the court, no one may know about it, or rather, they will think that someone has hidden the news. Go check, uncle, Qianniuwei, Jin Wuwei, Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Luoyang County, Henan, and see who is going to inquire about these news. ”

"You're the one who wants to catch the Demon Cult." Zhao Gong nodded suddenly, only the people of the Demon Sect were so slow about the news.

"It's just a matter of sifting through the layers." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, looked at Zhao Gong and said, "But the ones who will really take the bait may be people in the court...... Let's see who is going to really think we've found something and come and ask. ”

"You are the method of punishing the heart." Zhao Gong glanced at Li Xuan deeply, and waved his hand directly: "Except for the Demon Sect and Li Jingye, no one else can attack them." ”

"They" may be Li Jingye's people.

But it is also possible that the one who cannot be said is the least.

Prince.

Li Xuan took the bait in fishing for the prince.

"So, look at the corpse." Li Xuan's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "Uncle, now that the identity of that corpse has been proven, the next thing is to judge who the identity of that corpse is and how he died." ”

"Okay." Zhao Gong took a deep breath.

If you want to determine the cause of death of that corpse, you can only start with that corpse, otherwise everything else is speculation.

But once there is evidence of that corpse as a back-up, then everything else can be investigated.

At least they can arrest someone.

Even once they encounter someone from the Demon Sect, they can directly kill someone.

"Good!"

……

Outside the gate of Ming Chongyan's mansion, more than a dozen Qianniuwei were suddenly called in, and the outermost Henan County, Luozhou Mansion, as well as the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Jin Wuwei's people, all widened their eyes curiously.

How they do not understand that the investigation in the courtyard, already has results.

Further afield, there are also many people pointing fingers.

Yao Chong and Song Jing stood farther away, staring carefully at everyone inside.

Some people who were particularly unusual were immediately noted down by the two.

At this time, a big car slowly drove out of the mansion, and the surrounding Qianniuwei was extremely vigilant.

The moment Yao Chong saw the carriage, his eyes couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

A Danding was placed on the carriage, and then slowly walked towards the door.

The king of Nanchang really gained something.

Qianniuwei rushed towards the gate at the same time, and all the people around him immediately dispersed.

One of them even ran straight towards the door, and finally stood under the door.

The moment the carriage left the door, his gaze was nailed straight to the Danding.

After Danding completely left the fangmen, he quickly chased after him, and his short figure was very inconspicuous.

The point is that he doesn't have any cultivation.

Only a neat skill.

……

Above the door of the fang, watching the figure disappear into the alley of the front fang, Yao Chong shook his head slightly, looked sideways at Song Jing beside him, and said: "That person's name is Ding Chong, and he is the wind hyacinth of the local gang Dahe Gang in Luoyang to hear the news. ”

"Of course there are people in the back." Song Jing calmly arched his hand.

Yao Chong nodded, looked at Li Zhu on the side and said, "Please Brother Li, now arrange someone to follow, I'm afraid this Dahe faction is going to be unlucky." ”

Li Zhu seriously bowed his hand, turned around and made a few gestures below, and the two black-clothed guards had already walked out of the door and chased after them closely.

Yao Chong watched the guards of the Nanchang Palace's Mansion follow, and understood in his heart that the Dahe Gang could still operate for a while now because the King of Nanchang needed to use them to find out who was behind the scenes.

Once their value is exhausted, Jin Wuwei will immediately kill them with ferocity.

It doesn't take too much, just two teams, a hundred horsemen, and all the gangs of the Great River Gang who dare to resist will be killed cleanly.

This gang, the moment Ding Zhong set foot in Yongtongfang, they were already doomed to be wiped out.

"Look, over there." Song Jing suddenly pointed in the direction of the south.

Yao Chong quickly turned around, and then saw a catcher suddenly run into the alley.

"Brother Li, send someone to follow." Before Yao Chong finished speaking, Li Zhu's hand had already waved.

Seeing that the people had already chased after him, Yao Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "The others are still struggling to find the direction of the investigation, and the prince has already caught two clues here." ”

"As long as we don't directly find the people of the Demon Sect and Li Jingye, none of us can move." Song Jing stood aside and calmly told the truth.

Yao Chong was stunned, and then nodded helplessly.

"In this way, then let's go, the prince ...... over there" As soon as Song Jing's words were finished, he saw Yao Chong shaking his head calmly: "Don't worry." ”

Song Jing instantly became awe-inspiring, looked inside and outside the door, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, is there anyone else?" ”

"There should be." Yao Chong's gaze was on the outside of the door.

A moment later, a middle-aged merchant carrying a load of goods shouted into the Litongfang, and then began to scurry through the courtyards.

Half an hour later, he left peacefully from Litongfang.

"What patience." Song Jing looked at the departing merchant with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

There can be someone who is so patient and waits until everything is over, and then goes back and slowly investigates the situation.

"Such a person must have a big secret hidden in him, Brother Li, please go and follow me personally." Yao Chong looked at Li Zhu.

Li Zhu did not hesitate, bowed his hand, and then quickly followed.

"I hope I can really get something out of it today." Yao Chong looked at Song Jing, and Song Jing nodded solemnly.

……

Luoyang Imperial City, Zuo Qianniu Wei official office.

A Lang general immediately greeted Li Xuan and Zhao Gong.

Li Xuan and Zhao Gong politely returned the courtesy.

At this moment, there are not many people in Zuo Qianniuwei's Luoyang official office.

Luoyang is the accompanying capital, and Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

When the emperor traveled from Chang'an to Luoyang, only part of his official business was transferred from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Therefore, when the emperor returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, all the officials of the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five supervisors followed back to Chang'an.

Luoyang, except for some officials who left behind on the edge of the ministry, everyone else left.

Zuo Qianniu Wei was the same with the official office, leaving only a general named Jiang Xing.

"Lord Wang, Commander Zhao." Jiang Xing saluted Li Xuan and Zhao Gong, and then said: "The body of Shiyin Zhenren is in the backyard ice house, and the Qi Zuo and Ming families have all rushed over, and now they are waiting for the prince and Zhao to lead." ”

"Brother Jiang is polite." Li Xuan looked at the backyard and asked softly, "The body of Shiyin Zhenren, since it was found, has been placed in our Qianniuwei?" ”

"Back to the prince, it's always there." Jiang Xing's expression became solemn.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, looked at Zhao Gong and said, "Uncle, look, this is the problem. ”

Zhao Gong was silent, and Jiang Xing was silent.

In fact, the meaning of this, they can't figure it out.

Ming Chongyan is a close confidant of Empress Wu, and for many years, I don't know how many things have been done for Empress Wu, but now, he is dead.

If Empress Wu really believed that what was reported by all parties was that he had gone mad and died, so how could Empress Wu not transport him to Chang'an immediately and bury him with a big ceremony.

But Empress Wu did not do this, which is enough to show that Empress Wu still has great doubts about Ming Chongyan's death.

This is also the reason why Yuan Wanqing finally had to hand over the investigation authority to Zhao Gong.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Xuan took the lead in walking towards the backyard.

……

The backyard ice house, everything is cold, but there is not much gloomy feeling.

On the wooden bed in the center, there is a body, or a corpse.

The body was thin and thin, and there was a piece missing from his face somehow, and it was difficult to recognize that this was Ming Chongyan.

Not only Ming Chongyan, but this corpse, no matter what its original identity was, is difficult to recognize now.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over, the shape of this body was very similar to Ming Chongyan, at least there was no problem with height.

Wearing Ming Chongyan's Taoist clothes, sitting on Ming Chongyan's futon, appearing in Ming Chongyan's secret room, and a person who is extremely similar to him, how can people deny that this person is Ming Chongyan.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy on one side bowed seriously to Li Xuan: "I heard that the prince called Jue Lai, I don't know if the matter of my father has been decided, please let me know." ”

Ming Jue, the son of Ming Chongyan.

Ming Chongyan is a family way, and it is possible to get married and have children.

However, all along, Ming Chongyan's son has been put in his hometown, so the people of Chang'an have never seen it.

In addition, Ming Chongyan lives alone all the year round, and even many people already think that Ming Chongyan is not married at all, and he will not get married.

"I heard that at that time, you were the first to determine that this person was your father, but is there such a thing?" Li Xuan looked at Ming Jue seriously.

Ming Jue nodded without the slightest hesitation: "At that time, when Ming Jue first heard that his father was mourning, he rushed to Shendu, and he heard that everyone said that it was his father, so he thought that it was his father. ”

"Think?" Li Xuan looked at Ming Jue in surprise and said, "So you think this person is not your father now?" ”

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Ming Jue nodded slowly and said, "Jue does think so. ”

Li Xian still made a move.
