After hearing Cao Xiang's words, Zuo Dao left the lobby with his hands.

As soon as he left the lobby, he was stopped by Zhao Yuan in the courtyard.

Zhao Yuan pulled it to a corner and said in a low voice: "This matter is handed over to you to investigate, do you know how to do it?" ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said: "Naturally, this matter is strictly investigated. ”

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "There have been three cases in Kyoto before, and the final result is that without exception, they are all put into the case library to eat ashes. ”

"Do you know why?"

Zuo Dao frowned and said, "Why?" ”

Zhao Yuan glanced around and said, "Naturally, you can't find the real murderer, or you can't find the real murderer." ”

"After taking over this case, just do it, don't care too much and study deeply."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhao for reminding him." ”

Zhao Yuan sighed deeply and said, "Your father and I were also close friends at the beginning, so I naturally didn't want to see you get into trouble for this matter. ”

"You remember, if you find any clues, just treat it as if you didn't see it, and you're used to commanding the envoys."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao nodded slightly, answered, and then turned to leave.

Zhao Yuan looked at Zuo Dao's back and shook his head, he could only hope that this old man who had just been promoted to the post of pacification envoy would be able to listen to persuasion!

As soon as Zuo Dao left Beizhen Fusi, he saw Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others surrounding him.

The faces of these people were full of excitement.

Zhao Hu rubbed his hands and said, "My lord, but you have all commanded the envoy to take over the case?" ”

Zuo Dao glanced at him in some surprise and said, "You are well-informed." ”

Zhao Hu touched his head and said with a smile: "When I came to Beizhen Fusi today, some people said that they saw Lord Du Commander, but that Lord didn't come to this place, and when he came today, there must be a case to be sent." ”

Zhang Long also said with a smile: "And the adult has just come back from Youzhou, and he has made a lot of contributions when he was in Youzhou. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the audience became excited.

After all, they have long been classified as the Left Dao line, and other pacification envoys and commanders will not want them.

The higher their own adults rise, the faster they will rise.

Zuo Dao looked at the excited crowd and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome, do you know that there have been three cases of missing officials in Kyoto before. ”

"But without exception, there are no clues, and they are all directly put into the case library to eat ashes."

"Although this case has been handed over to me, it will inevitably become a headless case."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, the excitement on everyone's faces faded.

They thought that their adults had received some kind of merit for the case, but it turned out to be a somewhat tricky case.

Maybe in the end, as the adults said, this case will become a headless unsolved case.

Zuo Dao glanced at everyone and said, "Since you are here, follow me and go to this Lord He Biping's mansion to have a good look." ”

When the words fell, he led everyone to ride towards Lord He Biping's mansion.

When they came to He Biping's mansion, they saw that a white cloth had been hung at the gate, and the people under them all looked like vegetarians.

Zuo Dao stepped forward immediately and said, "This official Jinyi Wei calmed Zuo Dao and was ordered to come to investigate the case. ”

After hearing Zuo Dao's words, the two servants guarding the door couldn't help shaking, and hurriedly said: "Please come with me, my master has already ordered, if the Jinyi guard comes, you can enter the house directly." ”

After finishing speaking, he took Zuo Dao and the others towards the mansion.

Everyone walked all the way through the mansion to the lobby, only to see a young man with a sad face and walking out of it wearing sackcloth.

He bowed to Zuo Dao, and then said, "He Wenzhong, I've seen my lord." ”

Seeing this, Zuo Dao comforted in a low voice: "The deceased has passed away, please mourn and change." ”

When He Wenzhong heard this, the sad look on his face became more and more serious, and he said: "Thank you for your comfort, but my father's soul has not gone, and the murderer has not been found. ’

Zuo Dao said: "This official came here to find the real culprit for Lord Biping. ”

He Wenzhong smiled bitterly: "In the past, such cases have also occurred in Kyoto, but without exception, no one can find the real culprit, Dali Temple can't, and Jinyiwei can't." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly and said, "Wen Zhong has a lot to say, please come with me." ”

After finishing speaking, He Wenzhong took Zuo Dao and others to He Biping's disappeared study.

The door to the study is closed at the moment, but there are servants waiting here, and no one is allowed to approach it.

Although He Wenzhong is not hopeful about finding the real murderer, it can be seen that he still wants to find the real murderer for his father.

Seeing He Wenzhong bring people over, the two servants saluted and opened the door of the study directly.

I saw that in the study, there were books scattered all over the ground, and there were still some traces of blood on the chair behind the desk.

The windows were not opened, and no trace remained.

The only traces left here are the bloodstains on the front and back of the desk, and a few scratches on the chair.

Zuo Dao looked closely, and those scratches seemed to have been inadvertently touched by the murderer when He Biping was caught.

Nothing else.

Zuo Dao's eyes looked at the qi technique, and he saw that there was still some faint demonic energy left here, and this demonic qi was extremely familiar.

It's a bit like the wolf demon who stopped him outside the Kyoto Gate when he left Kyoto.

Thinking of this, he became more and more sure that it was the big centipede of Pudu Cihang and the current saint joining forces to eliminate dissidents.

On the way here, he asked He Wenzhong about his father's affairs in the court during his lifetime.

Since this Pudu Cihang entered the palace, this saint seems to have changed people, and he has begun to stay in the harem all day long, not thinking about going to the court.

This also made the courtiers dissatisfied, and more than once wrote to admonish.

Without exception, there is no effect.

Among them, there are many people who scold and want to learn from death, which makes the saint enter the court.

But it didn't take long.

The officials who admonished the Holy Heavens in the midst of the recital had more or less some surprises.

Among them, the most tragic were the three officials who disappeared from Kyoto before.

And why Biping, he just wrote a letter to admonish the emperor a few days ago.

I don't know if He Biping faintly had a feeling in his heart, after handing in the folds he wrote.

He had a heart-to-heart talk with He Wenzhong.

If he dies in Kyoto in the future, or disappears without a trace, let He Wenzhong resign and return to his hometown.

He Wenzhong also remembered these words, and planned to take people back to his hometown after his father's funeral.

But the brocade guard came.

Zuo Dao asked He Wenzhong to continue to keep the study as it was, and after continuing to understand some information with the other party, he took people away.

Seeing this, He Wenzhong sighed deeply.

Although he wanted to wait for a result, his father's previous words were still lingering in his heart.

He could only finish this matter quickly and leave Kyoto, a place of right and wrong, with his family.

Although it will take a few days to be busy, it is impossible to see the murderer caught.

On the way back.

Zhang Long frowned, and said, "My lord, this case is probably a little difficult to handle, and there is not a single clue left at the scene, as if the murderer suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. ’

"And he disappeared with Lord He Biping, I'm afraid this matter is very human!"

After hearing Zhang Long's words, Zhao Hu said, "Could it be a monster?" ”

When the dynasty on one side heard this, he spoke: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Kyoto, there is a dragon qi to protect it, how can there be a monster appear?" ”

Ma Han said indifferently: "How can there be no monsters, but I heard that the national teacher himself is a big demon." ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Mahan.

Seeing this, Ma Han scratched his head and said, "Haven't you heard this kind of news?" ”

Zuo Dao glanced at him and said, "It's not that they haven't heard of it, but they don't dare to say it." ”

"That national teacher is really abnormal, almost all officials in Kyoto know about this matter, do you think the emperor doesn't know?"

"But it's just you, a reckless man, who said that the national teacher was a demon in front of the public."

When Ma Han heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and said, "I didn't say anything." ”

Zuo Dao looked in the direction of the National Teacher's Mansion and frowned.

If he remembered correctly, the trace of demonic energy left in He Biping's study was the wild wolf demon under Puduci's seat.

I heard that the wild wolf demon is now called the Kui Wood Wolf, and in addition to the Kui Wood Wolf, there are many monsters under the seat of Pudu Cihang.

These monsters, in terms of strength alone, are almost not inferior to those big demons he encountered in the 100,000 mountains.

If these big demons make a move, they will indeed be unable to resist these guards in the Jingguan'er Mansion alone.

But even if you guess who the murderer is, what can you do?

He can't throw himself into the net, go to the Pudu Cihang Mansion and make a fuss!

A flash of irritation flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes.

Suddenly.

He remembered what He Wenzhong had said to him before.

At the time of the Ho Biping Mansion.

He once asked He Wenzhong that there were other people who were with He Biping at that time.

He Wenzhong told him two names.

One is Du Ziteng and the other is Wang Pengfei.

These two are officials who are good friends with He Biping on weekdays, and this time, the three of them also discussed it in private.

And the content of the book is not much different.

If this is the case, after the Kui Timber Wolf takes away He Biping, the next target should be the right two people.

Thinking of this, he took Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to patrol the streets.

Passing by the mansion of Nadu Ziteng and Wang Pengfei, I took a look.

The mansions of these two are not much different from the missing Lord He Biping, and they all belong to the mansions that are a little outside.

Judging from the outside, it seems that the guards of the mansion have also arranged quite a bit.

I don't know if it's because of He Biping's disappearance, but in short, the guards are extremely complete.

He even faintly saw some traces of the brocade guard.

It seems that a brocade guard pretended to be a subordinate and mixed in.

And looking at his qi and blood from a distance, he is at least a Jinyi guard at the level of a hundred households.

The one who can arrange for a hundred households to infiltrate the mansion of the officials in Kyoto should be Cao Xiang, the commander of the capital.

It seems that he also guessed the key to the death of these officials.

It's a pity that although these trial hundred households are also considered the elite of the Jinyi Guard, they are not enough to see in the face of the Nakui Timberwolf.

Unless it is to arrange for the commander to be stationed or even to command the Jinyi guard at the level of the same knowledge, it is difficult to protect the safety of these two adults.

Zuo Dao thought about it in his heart, and then asked his subordinates Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others to divide into two teams, and directly lived in the restaurant near the mansion of the two adults, and took turns to monitor day and night.

And he came to Du Ziteng's mansion and met this Lord Du Ziteng, who looked quite upright.

After Du Ziteng saw Zuo Dao, he immediately arched his hand and said: "I don't know if Lord Zuo is coming, is there something important?" ”

Zuo Dao spoke: "Does Lord Du know what happened in Lord He's mansion?" ”

When Du Ziteng heard this, he sighed and said: "The disappearance of Lord He has spread throughout Kyoto this morning, how could I, as a close friend of Lord He, not know?" ”

"But I expected this, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"I can only ask Lord He to go first, and Brother Wang and I will arrive later."

When he said the last sentence, Du Ziteng arched his hand in the direction of He Biping's mansion.

When Zuo Dao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had also learned about the reviews of these three before, and in Kyoto, the reviews were good.

It can be said that he can be called a clean official.

It's just that this group of literati who like to be Qing officials are more willing to bend, and they would rather die in the history of Kyoto's celebrities than pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The three of them wrote about the emperor's construction of a Buddhist hall in the harem and lingering in the harem.

In the compromise, it can almost be said that he pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded the street.

Yesterday, Pudu Cihang just entered the palace for a trip, and after coming out, He Biping disappeared at home.

If nothing else, it would have been a death.

From this point of view, these two are also in the past few days.

He spoke: "Since Lord Du has expected it in his heart, I don't know if Lord Du can do me a favor." ”

When Du Ziteng heard this, he said with a smile: "The famous Jinyiwei still has something to ask the old man for help?" ”

Zuo Dao smiled and waved into the distance, and then saw the flesh Buddha walk out from behind a pillar.

He said, "This friend of mine has just come to Kyoto, and now he has no place to stay, so I wonder if the adults can let him stay in the palace for a while, and it is better not to be too far away from the adults." ”

When Du Ziteng heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "What's so difficult about this, then live next door to the old man." ”

Zuo Dao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Du Ziteng sighed, saluted to Zuo Dao, and said, "It should be Du Mou who thanks Master Zuo." ”

Afterwards.

Du Ziteng respectfully sent Zuo Dao out of the mansion, and behind him was followed by the flesh Buddha, hidden under a black robe.

After leaving Du Ziteng's mansion, he let Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others stay here.

If you see anything strange, you will send out a signal directly.

When he sees the signal, he will be the first to arrive.

After explaining all this, he went towards Lord Wang Tengfei's mansion.

This wave, he wants to wait for the rabbit.
