Although Li Zhen longed for a guest room in Di's Mansion where maids waited, after he sent Di Yan home, he still didn't stay in Di's Mansion for the night, the reason was very simple, he was on duty tomorrow, and he had to go to order before dawn.

Although being a guard is very free, some rules are still very strict, and Dianmao is one of them, Dianmao is less than 20 sticks at a time, and Dianmao is not more than 3 times to be dismissed, unless it is to go out to do business, so everyone still abides by this level.

And Li Zhen's guard clothes and waist tags are at home, and it will be too late to get them tomorrow morning, so Li Zhen will store the horses in Zài Di Mansion, and he will use nocturnal walking techniques to climb over the wall all the way, and finally return to his home.

The eldest sister Li Quan yawned and opened the door for him, and asked with a tired face, "Why did you come back now, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it, how is my brother-in-law?"

"It's much better, you can say a few words to me, but he said that he was still in a bit of a trance, and he had to rest for another three days before he could go to Liang Wangfu, so I persuaded him not to pull him down, but he refused. ”

Li Zhen shook his head, his brother-in-law's body was too weak, a little frightened actually had to stay in bed for four or five days, the year before last, Xiao Xi was pounced on by two wild wolves, although he was scared, but the next day he jumped alive.

"Sister, you can make up for your brother-in-law's body! ”

"I also know that today Wufu sent a few good hundred-year-old ginsengs, and I plan to make up for him with stewed chicken. ”

Li Quan remembered something again, and said with a smile: "There is your letter, sent from Dunhuang, it is estimated that it was written by Xiaopang, and it is on your table!"

Hearing that the fat man actually wrote a letter to himself, Li Zhen was happy in his heart, and he hurriedly walked towards his small courtyard.

As soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw the maid Xiaolian running out of her bedroom in a panic, Li Zhen was suddenly a little unhappy in her heart, how could she enter the room where she slept at will.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Xiao Lian hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I'll bring tea to my son!"

Li Zhen doesn't like this maid anymore, at first the eldest sister said that she was clever and thought she was good, but now it seems that she has too many eyes, how can there be a reason to go to the bedroom to deliver tea?

Li Zhen restrained the disgust in his heart, and said to her coldly: "I have already told you twice, only the eldest sister can enter my room, and neither can the brother-in-law, this is the rule of our family, I hope this is the last time to remind you." ”

"Yes!" remembered the little mercy. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand, "Go!"

Xiao Lian lowered her head and ran away, but Li Zhen could see clearly, and when she turned around, the corners of her mouth pursed disdainfully.

Li Zhen snorted and walked into his study, the lamp in the study had been lit, he took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and returned to his seat to sit down.

There was a letter on the table, and a cup of hot tea, he picked up the white porcelain cup and just wanted to take a sip of hot tea, but he was stunned, only to see that there was half a bright red lip print on the edge of the cup.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Zhen spilled a cup of tea into the courtyard, and his heart became more and more disgusted, and this little lady's courage became bigger and bigger.

He thought of his brother-in-law who was recuperating at home, and he had to remind his eldest sister about this, but he thought about it again, the eldest sister is a woman, she should be more sensitive than herself, this kind of thing is easy to destroy their relationship between husband and wife, and it is best for him not to talk too much, you can knock on the side.

Li Zhen lit the carbon basin, re-fried a pot of tea for himself, and was busy for a long time, before finally sitting back in his seat and picking up the letter written to him by the wine journal on the table.

Looking at the crooked handwriting on the envelope, the unhappiness in his heart was immediately swept away, and he couldn't help laughing, this dead fat man, when will he come back?

Early the next morning, Li Zhen went to Miyagi, he was on duty today, but he didn't have any affairs, so he slipped out of Miyagi with a few orders.

Although the palace guards have always had the saying of 'one year of dogs, two years of roaring, and three years of veterans walking sideways', the general on duty knew that he was recommended by Gao Yanfu, so he could only turn a blind eye to his unruly behavior.

Li Zhen came to Dali Temple and found Sun Li, and in the room, Sun Li listened to Li Zhen's story like a sculpture.

After a long while, he held his head and groaned: "No wonder only Dali Temple is willing to ask me, why let me do this kind of thing?"

Li Zhen looked at him with sympathy, this Sun Li was indeed not smart enough, and he didn't want to think about it, would the murderer who dared to kill Princess Teng be an ordinary person?

Until now, he still treats this big case as an ordinary case to investigate, looking for suspects everywhere, he should have understood, why are others unwilling to take this case?

"Have you asked about this case recently?" Li Zhen asked again.

Sun Li sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's been quiet recently, and no one has been asking about this case. ”

"That's right!"

Li Zhen laughed, and said to Sun Li, who was puzzled: "Think about it, the Holy Lord asked to solve the case before the end of the year, but now there are only two months left, can the senior officials of Dali Temple not be in a hurry? They should chase you every day and ask you for progress, but now they actually ignore the case, doesn't Brother Sun think it's strange?"

Sun Li was born as a guard, he didn't read much, and he was really not smart enough, but he was also a person in the officialdom, and he also had a certain awareness, Li Zhen's words suddenly reminded him, which was a bit strange.

He pondered for a moment and said: "As you said, Zhao Shaoqing chased me every day to ask about the progress of the case, but he didn't pay attention to it for the past three or four days, I met him at the gate yesterday, he only looked at me, and he didn't even bother to say hello, as if nothing happened, what is the reason for this?"

Sun Li looked at Li Zhen with an expectant face, he was twelve years older than Li Zhen, but many times, he felt that Li Zhen was the eldest brother, giving him ideas and showing him the way.

Li Zhen smiled: "I feel that this is actually a hint, the above doesn't care, let you do it, as long as you can give them an explanation, so that they can also give an explanation to the saint, then this case is over, if I guess correctly, some kind of rumor has been heard above." ”

Sun Li nodded slowly, he understood what Li Zhen meant, caught a few big thieves, planted this case to them, this case is over, he thought for a while and said, "When do you think it is better to close the case?"

"Prepare early, wait for the opportunity, and I will naturally tell you when the case will be closed!"

While the two were talking, an official of Dali Temple hurriedly walked into the room and whispered a few words in Sun Li's ear, Sun Li was stunned and said to Li Zhen: "I just got the news that someone has seen an overturned carriage outside Chang'an City, and the deceased in the carriage is Yu Pinlong. ”

"What!"

Li Zhen was also taken aback, he had only seen Yu Pinlong last night, was Yu Pinlong killed today?

He immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and see!"

The place where Yu Pinlong was killed was about ten miles away from Chang'an City, and the carriage fell on a remote path, separated from the official road by a forest.

An official from Dali Temple, who also came to the temple, pointed to the track tracks on the ground and said: "Just look at the ruts, you can see that this carriage was being chased by someone, and there was a blockade in front of it, so it was forced to turn to the trail and was chased and killed by at least thirty or forty horsemen." ”

After walking for a while, Li Zhen and the others had already seen the carriage, which fell sideways beside a ditch, and a total of three people died, Yu Pinlong, his wife, and the coachman were also killed, and the corpse was covered with a white cloth, Li Zhen lifted the white cloth and looked at it, frowned, and asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

The official who investigated the scene smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, the city gate was not closed, and there were many pedestrians on the official road, but the group of black-clothed men on horseback had no scruples and chased and killed this carriage, and there was a woman in the carriage shouting for help, but she was stabbed to death by a thrown short spear." ”

"Wait!"

Li Zhen heard a clue and hurriedly asked, "Did the other party throw a flying spear?"

"Exactly, they chased the wagons and constantly threw short spears. ”

The official took out a short spear from the other side and handed it to Li Zhen, "This is the kind of short spear!"

Li Zhen took the short spear and looked at it, it was only half the length of the Tang Dynasty military spear, the straight jujube wooden stick, with an iron tip in front, weighing about seven or eight catties, which reminded Li Zhen of the Wu family general who was killed in Chang'an, he turned back to Sun Li and said: "This case doesn't need to be investigated again, I know who the murderer is, and I also know who is behind the scenes." ”

He whispered a few words to Sun Li, Sun Li's eyes widened, and he sighed, "How could it be him?"

Sun Li suddenly had a realization, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Broken Tan case?"

Li Zhen nodded, "Yu Pinlong is the one who knows, this is their killing and extermination." ”

Not only did Sun Li feel deeply lost, but Li Zhen also felt a trace of passivity, which was obviously done by Xue Huaiyi, indicating that Wei Tuan'er was vigilant and began to kill people, believing that the death of Yu Pinlong was just the beginning, and more insiders would be exterminated.

The Broken Tan case is a small problem, the key is Wei Tuan'er's treasure place, I am afraid it will not be opened for a long time.

This made Li Zhen deeply feel that it was difficult to complete the things that Shangguan Wan'er handed over to him.

At this moment, a sergeant of Dali Temple stepped forward and saluted, "Li Gongzi, someone is looking for it, saying that there is something very important." ”

"Who is it?" asked Li Zhen.

The sergeant pointed into the distance, "It's a teenager, he said he had an urgent business for you." ”

Li Zhen felt strange in his heart, walked over quickly, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy standing on the side of the road, who was the scholar of Yu Pinlong, his heart moved, and he hurriedly walked up, "Are you looking for me?"

The scholar nodded, stepped forward and whispered, "I have a letter for you." ”

He stuffed a note into Li Zhen's hand, and whispered: "This is what Yu Gongzi gave me yesterday, saying that if something happens to him, let me give you this note." ”

This was beyond Li Zhen's expectations, it seemed that Yu Pinlong had realized that someone was going to kill him, "Do you have anything else to say?" Li Zhen asked again.

"No, it's just a note. The boy shook his head.

Li Zhen put the note away, took out a handful of Sogdian gold coins and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "This money is for you, go ahead!"

The scholar was overjoyed, took the gold coin, and thanked him for his kindness.

Li Zhen walked quickly to the side and opened the note left by Yu Pinlong with anticipation, and there was only one sentence in the note, "Wei Yuan'er knows where the treasure is hidden." ’

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, with Wei Tuan'er, and now there is another Wei Yuan'er, is this Wei Tuan'er's sister? It is very likely that the word reunion should be a sister.

He pondered for a moment, now he needed to enter the palace to find Shangguan Wan'er
