Zhao Xuanyi gently scraped a little with his fingers, brushed his fingers, and a smile appeared on his face

"That's exactly what I thought!" Zhao Xuanyi handed the plank to Wang Heming

"Have your men carefully get the powder off and wrap it in something!" Wang Heming looked at the plank

"Is this powder useful?"

"The sedan chair can catch fire, it's all because of it!"

"What?" Wang Heming touched it with his fingers, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it

"It's not gunpowder!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled

"Now that we have found out how the sedan chair burns, the next step is to catch the murderer! What about the palanquin bearers and guards at that time? Wang Heming handed the plank to his subordinates

"Do what Zhao Gongzi said!"

"Yes!"

"The palanquin man and the guards have been pressed in the prison of Dali Temple, do they need to be arraigned? I'll have someone bring it now! Wang Heming said.

"No, there's no need for that! Just tell me about their identity and family background! Zhao Xuanyi said confidently.

"Cheng, let's change places, Zhao Gongzi, you come with me to the study, let's talk slowly!" Wang Heming felt that Zhao Xuanyi might have known something, and enthusiastically invited him to his study.

"There are four sedan chair men, namely Liu Ting, Wang Chengjin, Yang Changhai, Zhang Wei, and Zhou Bowen's guard is called Li Bingsong!" Wang Heming began to introduce!

After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he closed his eyes

"The guards are excluded, introduce the four of them!"

"Okay, ...... they?" Before Wang Heming finished speaking, he heard a man's voice outside the door.

"Let me in, Zhou Bowen is my father, I want to know how my father died, why are you stopping me?" When Zhao Xuanyi and Wang Heming heard this, both of them were a little surprised, but they didn't expect the deceased's family to come, Wang Heming hurriedly shouted

"What's going on out there?"

"Qiqi Wang Shaoqing, Lord Zhou's son is here, we can't stop it, look at this?"

"Let him in!" Wang Heming said.

"Yes!" There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and I saw a man walk in, when Zhao Xuanyi saw this man, his eyes widened instantly, how could it be him?

"Zhao Gongzi? Why are you here? The man who walked in also looked at Zhao Xuanyi in surprise!

Zhao Xuanyi slowly stood up, how clever is his heart? The man who came in was none other than Zhou Qihua, who was at the book competition with several sons in Zuichun Building!

Zhao Xuanyi thought about it carefully, yes, his surname is Zhou, and the deceased is Zhou Bowen, isn't it a family? Seeing Zhou Qihua's haggard face and blank eyes, Zhao Xuanyi sighed

"Gongzi Zhou, please mourn, I'm here to help investigate Ling Zun's matter!" After Zhou Qihua heard it, he came over and grabbed Zhao Gongzi's hands

"Zhao Gongzi, you won all the sons of our capital in Zuichun Mansion at that time, your intelligence is obvious to all, you must help me catch the murderer!" After Zhou Qihua finished speaking, tears fell down his face.

Seeing such a sad person, Zhao Xuanyi was also very touched, and helped Zhou Qihua to sit on the chair

"Don't worry, Zhou Gongzi, I will do my best! In this way, you take a sip of tea first, and let's talk slowly! Zhou Qihua was in no mood to drink a cup of hot tea, so he put the hot tea on the table next to him and wiped his tears with his sleeve

"Zhao Gongzi, I don't know what you found? If there's anything you want to ask, ask me, and I'll tell you everything I know! Zhao Xuanyi nodded

"I want to ask, are you familiar with your father's four palanquins?"

"Familiar! These are all people who have worked in my house for a long time! Could it be that Zhao Gongzi was suspicious of them? Zhou Qihua asked.

"No, just ask casually, Wang Shaoqing, please give me a brief explanation of the background of these four palanquins!" Zhao Xuanyi asked very seriously.

Wang Heming nodded

"Well, in fact, there is nothing to say, they were all sold to Lord Zhou's family when they were young, with an average of more than 30 pairs, Wang Chengjin and Zhang Wei have already married, both of them have family backgrounds and children, but they still live in Zhou's mansion, Liu Ting and Wuwang Chengjin are single! Because they were all sold, the identity is also very simple, and as for the family, needless to say, I don't know where it is! When Zhao Xuanyi heard it, this is basically the same as nothing!

If it sounds good, they are inferior, but if it sounds bad, it is a bought slave!

"Do they have any bad habits?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhou Qihua and asked.

"Bad habits? They don't have a lot of money, they usually like to drink some wine, it's nothing, if you want to talk about bad habits, it should be said that Zhang Wei, he is addicted to gambling, and he once lost and even sold his own girl, and in the end it was his father who taught him a lesson and paid back the money for him, which saved his girl! Zhou Qihua said.

Zhao Xuanyi nodded, it turned out that there was still such a thing

"Wang Shaoqing, please bring this Zhang Wei here, I have something to ask!"

"Okay, come here, bring Zhang Wei over!" Wang Heming shouted.

"Yes!" When Zhou Qihua heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, he seemed to have a little guess

"Zhao Gongzi, do you suspect that this Zhang Wei is the murderer of my father?"

"Zhou Gongzi, don't worry, I don't know now, we need to check little by little, don't we? Urgent, useless! Zhao Xuanyi said softly.

Zhou Qihua took a deep breath

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sad!"

"Understood, understood!" Zhao Xuan said in his heart, whoever encounters this kind of thing will lose his square inch! Several people were waiting, and suddenly a rush of footsteps was heard, and a man ran into the room

"My lord, it's not good, Zhang Wei hanged himself in prison!"

"What?" The people in the room were all stupid. Zhao Xuanyi's eyes couldn't help but widen, how could this matter feel wrong?

Something is wrong! Everyone rushed to the inside of the cell, and when they came to the outside of Zhang Wei's cell, they saw a corpse hanging quietly in the air, with a sleeve tied with a belt, and a man hanging there, with a stool under his feet.

"Someone, open the door to the cell!" Wang Heming shouted loudly.

"Yes!" After the door of the cell was opened, Zhao Xuanyi and Wang Heming walked into the cell, the dead Zhao Xuanyi was not afraid, he had never seen anything on the battlefield, and when he came to Zhang Wei, Zhao Xuanyi looked carefully, and suddenly his eyes flashed, something was wrong!

He didn't commit suicide! Several guards put the body down, Zhao Xuanyi came closer, took a closer look at Zhang Wei's neck, there was only one strangulation mark, and then picked up the deceased's hand and looked carefully inside the fingernails, it was also very clean, there was nothing!

This is strange, Zhao Xuanyi turned his head to look at the others

"What could be wrong with him before he died? Or what strange things have you said? "A group of people looked at each other, but no one spoke!

"Dumb? Zhao Gongzi asked and answered truthfully! Wang Heming shouted loudly.

"This? I didn't find anything wrong, they came in and shouted that they were wronged, and then some people said they wanted to drink water, so we gave some water, and then there was nothing, until the adults were about to be arraigned, and we came to see that he was already dead! A man recounted briefly.

"How's the other palanquins going?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.

"The other three are being held in separate cells, and they're fine!" After Zhao Xuanyi listened, he looked at the dead Zhang Wei again, his eyes were full of complicated thoughts, and then looked at Wang Heming

"Wang Shaoqing, you first conduct an inquest on this deceased to see if it is poisoned, or something else, and I'll go and say a few words to Zhou Gongzi!"

"Cheng, Zhao Gongzi, please take it, I'll be busy here first, come here, send Zhao Gongzi to my study!" Wang Heming shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi returned to Wang Heming's study, Zhou Qihua was already impatiently going back and forth in the room, and after seeing Zhao Xuanyi, he hurriedly walked over

"Zhao Gongzi, how is it? What can be found? Zhao Xuanyi made a silent gesture

"Gongzi Zhou, this is not the place to talk, let's leave first, how about finding a place where you can talk?" Zhou Qihua also seemed to understand something, and nodded

"Cheng, I often go to a teahouse, let's go talk slowly!"

"Cheng, you lead the way!" Zhao Xuanyi felt very uncomfortable, this Dali Temple seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, which made him feel very unsafe, although he had Shen Wei's protection, but he was always panicked in his heart!

The two walked out of Dali Temple, took a car to a teahouse, and went up to the second floor, Zhou Qihua chose a private room, and Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei

"Brother Shen, you are guarding outside the door, don't let others eavesdrop!"

"Yes, don't worry, young master!" Shen Wei also felt that something was wrong with Zhao Xuanyi today! Zhao Xuanyi and Zhou Qihua returned to the room, and Zhou Qihua hurriedly asked

"Zhao Gongzi, is Zhang Wei really dead? What the hell is going on? Zhao Xuanyi shook his head

"Zhang Wei is dead, but this matter is not so simple, Zhou Gongzi I hope you don't hide it from me, you can tell me the truth!"

"Okay, what does Zhao Gongzi want to know?"

"What has Ling Zun been doing lately? What's more important? Zhao Xuanyi asked. Zhou Qihua began to recall

"Recently, my father has been busy with one thing, that is, the emperor's birthday in half a month, this is a big event, and my father has no time to be busy with other things!" After Zhao Xuanyi heard it, he nodded slightly, the root of the problem should have been found

"One more question, does Ling Zun believe in Buddhism?" Zhou Qihua thought about it carefully

"My dad wasn't really obsessed with that!"

"That? Does anyone in your family believe this? What kind of Buddha statues do you have at home? ”

"No! Although I also went to the temple to offer incense, our family didn't believe in these very much, so we didn't worship these at all, except for the tokens of my grandfather and the elders in the family, I didn't worship anything else at all! Zhou Qihua said something, and he didn't hide it at all.

Zhao Xuanyi nodded after hearing this

"Then what kind of enemy does Ling Zun have?"

"...... this?" Zhou Qihua's face was full of entanglement

"Zhao Gongzi, you also know, you are an official in the court, this?" Zhao Xuanyi instantly understood, and motioned to Zhou Qihua with his hand Needless to say, now Zhao Xuanyi's mind instantly thought of another thing!

Could it be that these two things are still related?

"Zhao Gongzi? Can you tell me now how my father died? Zhou Qihua asked with a sad face.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhou Qihua, and then shook his head

"Zhou Gongzi, I just started investigating today, and I don't know a lot, but I can tell you for sure that your father was killed, it was definitely not an accident, and I don't know the rest, after all, Wang Heming is responsible for the investigation, and I can only ask him about the rest of the matter!" After Zhou Qihua heard it, he didn't say anything, Zhao Xuanyi was not investigating the case after all, but he knew that his father was killed, which made him know the target!

After Zhao Xuanyi and Zhou Qihua separated, they had just gone downstairs when Shen Wei called his family's carriage

"Young master, it's already afternoon, let's go back and rest, shall we?" Zhao Xuanyi shook his head

"Come with me to buy something, and then go to the teahouse!" Shen Wei looked up

"Childe, aren't we in the teahouse now?" Zhao Xuanyi glared at Shen Wei

"I'm talking about another teahouse, let's go!"

"Yes!" A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xuanyi came to the teahouse in another alley, and after getting out of the carriage, he walked directly into the hall, and the shopkeeper walked over with a smile

"Oh, you're here, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

"I want to be with Shincha!" Zhao Xuanyi said directly. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was stunned

"New tea is coming from afar, it will take some time!"

"I'm not in a hurry, find me a place to rest first, and then cook tea slowly!"

"Come on, you come upstairs with me, and I'll arrange a private room for you!" The shopkeeper warmly greeted Zhao Xuanyi to go up to the second floor, and then took him to a private room, closed the door, and Shen Wei stood at the door to guard.

Zhao Xuanyi sat quietly on the chair, quietly listening to the sound of rain outside the window, the dripping raindrops smashed on the window, as if it was a performance without a conductor, although the chaotic sound was irregular, it could make people surprisingly calm.
