Li Zhen and Gao Jian hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, which really surprised him, the personal guard actually fled, could it be that his initial doubts came true, and the guard who was injured but not poisoned really had a problem? If so, then why not use this personal guard to assassinate Li Dan directly, wouldn't it be more convenient?

It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Zhen thought that the guard could not be guilty, but now that he had escaped unexpectedly, the situation became confusing again.

In the guard house in the west courtyard of the palace, the room of the guard Huo Zhishan was in a mess, and the judge Wang Jiansi led several officials of Dali Temple to carefully search the scene, Sun Li sighed and said to Li Zhen: "We are going to take this guard back to record a confession, he said that he needs to go back to the room to get some evidence, I will let two practitioners accompany him back, he is very strong in martial arts, after entering the house, he knocked the two practitioners unconscious, and then escaped through the back window." ”

Sun Li pointed to the smashed back window, Li Zhen stepped forward to take a look, outside the window was a small courtyard full of peach trees, there was no house, there were courtyard walls all around, "Where is the outside wall?" Li Zhen looked at the courtyard wall and asked.

"Outside the wall is a small alley, close to the wall, we have surveyed, there are traces of climbing on the wall, the guard must have climbed over the wall and fled. ”

At this time, Wang Jiansi shouted in a low voice: "There is an abnormality here"

Li Zhen hurriedly walked over, only to see Wang Jiansi banging on the wall with a small wooden mallet, "Commander Li, please listen"

There was a bang on the wall, there was a sound, this wall was obviously a hollow wall, and Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Open it"

The two warriors of the inner guard slashed the wall with sharp blades, revealing a dark hole in the wall with a faint light, and the samurai reached in and pulled out twelve ingots of gold, each weighing at least fifty taels.

"What else?" asked Li Zhen again with a gloomy face.

The warrior stretched out his hand and groped in the hole in the wall for a moment, and then took out a small blue porcelain bottle, Wang Jiansi took the bottle, opened the lid and sniffed, his face suddenly changed, and said to Li Zhen and Sun Li: "This is Heding Red is highly poisonous, and you will die within a cup of tea after drinking it." ”

Sun Li looked at the gold, then at the poison bottle, and he asked Li Zhen with some confusion, "What should we do now?"

"Please issue a Class A wanted warrant from Dali Temple, and offer a reward of 1,000 yuan for the arrest of this guard"

Li Zhen gave the order, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered Lan Zhenyu, could it be that this Huo Zhishan was going to become the second Lan Zhenyu again?

Sun Li returned to Dali Temple to go through the formalities of wanting Huo Zhishan, and Gao Jian and Wang Jiansi followed Li Zhen back to the Internal and Foreign Affairs Bureau, Li Zhen invited the two of them to sit down in his official room, and ordered the little boy to serve tea, Gao Jian took a sip of tea, and asked curiously: "What are those golden powders that we have in Luozhu Hall?" It seems that Commander Li is very familiar?"

Li Zhen nodded, "I think it's very similar to a poison I've seen before, we might as well try it."

Li Zhen took out the small packet, opened it layer by layer, took a wine glass, poured half a glass of wine, and used a silver spoon to take a little medicinal powder and put it into the wine glass to melt it.

Li Zhen immediately ordered the opponent: "Go and catch a local dog and cut off the hair."

Not long after, several internal guard warriors caught a stray earth dog, tied it with a rope, cut the fur bare, the guards broke the dog's mouth, Li Zhen poured wine into the dog's mouth, and immediately ordered: "Everyone disperse"

The warriors dodged one after another, and after only a moment, the earth dog twitched a few times, and was immediately poisoned, and his body slowly turned golden, and Wang Jiansi was so frightened that he lost his voice and said: "This is Chilian Jin"

Although Gao Jian has never seen Chi Lianjin, he also understands the Poison Scripture case, his face has changed greatly, Li Dan was abolished as the emperor's heir because of the Poison Scripture case, did this matter make waves again?

Li Zhen's face became more and more gloomy, and he instructed the warriors: "This dog is highly poisonous, burn it, be careful not to touch it"

Li Zhen walked back to the room again, and at this time, Wang Jiansi said to himself, "It's really a little strange?"

"What's strange?" asked Li Zhen.

Wang Jiansi said with a puzzled face: "In an assassination case, there were three kinds of poison, first the poison applied to the blade, then the crane top red, and now the red gold, this is the first time I have encountered this situation. ”

"Here's the problem"

Gao Jian said with a smile: "Since the other party has Chi Lian Jin in his hand, why don't you just apply Chi Lian Jin on the blade, then King Xiang will definitely die, and that personal guard, since he personally protects King Xiang, it will be easy to kill Xiang Guo, why doesn't he do it?"

Li Zhen pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "I have a guess, maybe Huo Zhishan didn't want to kill the Xiangwang, and he was reluctant to do it, so the other party did it himself, and the third assassin's goal was to kill Huo Zhishan and kill him, but he only killed and injured him, and he escaped." ”

"In that case, he should have fled overnight, why did he wait until we came?" Gao Jian was still a little puzzled.

Li Zhen sighed, "If he escaped overnight last night, then he would be the first suspect, so he had to meet us before escaping." ”

Li Zhen took a few steps with his hands down, "The key to solving this case is in this Huo Zhishan, he must know who is buying him." ”

Gao Jian and Wang Jiansi said goodbye and left, only Li Zhen was left in the official room, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands, the setting sun shone in through the window, reflecting the room in red, this morning, when Wu Zetian summoned him, he was only given three days, but where can he solve this case in three days, he needs at least half a month.

Although today's harvest is good, he found an internal responder, and got important clues from Luo Zhutang, this assassination case is very likely to be related to Wu Chenghe, despite this, Li Zhen still has a trace of inexplicable doubts, that is, what Gao Jian said, 'Since the other party has Chilian Gold in his hand, why not directly apply Chilian Jin on the blade, then King Xiang will definitely die.' ,

Yes, the other party has Chilian Jin, why don't they just use it to kill Li Dan? As far as he knows, Gongsun Auntie has not yet developed an antidote to Chilian Jin.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, "Since you won't let me in, then report it quickly, and say that I have something to do with him"

This is Di Yan's voice, Li Zhen laughed, she must have heard something, Li Zhen walked out of the door, only to see Di Yan standing at the gate of the courtyard, glaring at the warrior who stopped her with an unhappy face.

When Di Yan saw Li Zhen, she hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Brother Li, is there another deal?"

"It's not a deal, it's a chore, let's go into the house and talk"

Li Zhen let Di Yan into the official room, Di Yan took out a wanted warrant, spread it on the table and said with a smile: "A reward of 1,000 yuan, those who know can report to Dali Temple or the internal guard, so I know that you have a deal." ”

This is a wanted warrant for Huo Zhishan, the character patterns on it are always so hideous, not at all like a real person, Di Yan asked: "Who is this Huo Zhishan?"

"He was a personal guard of King Xiang, he was wounded in the assassination, and when we saw that he had a problem, he took the opportunity to escape. ”

"Will there be a problem with the personal guards?"

Di Yan looked dazed, "If there is a problem with the personal guards, is the life of the king still there?"

"That's the problem, it's complicated. ”

Li Zhen looked at the sky and asked with a smile, "Why don't we go have a drink, have you had dinner?"

Di Yan shook his head, and Li Zhen smiled, "I don't have it either, let's go together."

In the small wine shop not far from the Internal Health and External Affairs Department, Li Zhen ordered a few dishes and asked for a pot of good wine, during this time he dined in this small wine shop almost every day, and the bartender and shopkeeper knew him and were very enthusiastic about him.

"Commander Li, you taste this new Jinshi red, it is a little more mellow than the old Jinshi red. ”

The bartender brought a bottle of wine and said with a warm smile: "This is the Jinshihong from the Wang family, which is much better than the original old Jinshihong, the original Jinshihong heard that the owner has changed, and the quality has plummeted, which is really a pity." ”

"Thank you, we'll do it ourselves. ”

Li Zhen took the wine bottle and poured it full of wine for himself and Di Yan, and Di Yan asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, after your eldest sister transferred the wine shop, the quality of the wine immediately failed?"

Her original liquor shop is the best Gaochang liquor supplied by the Wang family winery, because the purchase price is relatively high, can only rely on small profits to make money, the new owner felt that the profit was too low, so he changed to a winery, the purchase price was reduced by half, although the profit was greater, but the quality of the wine was significantly reduced, and the original Jinshi after the difference was too far, the result was less than a month, the Jinshi red brand was smashed, the Wang family took the opportunity to launch the new Jinshihong, slowly replaced the original old Jinshihong, and even the purchase channels in the palace were robbed by the Wang family. ”

"What about the Yashiju Wine Store?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "I heard that the new proprietor is also being transferred, and Yashiju can only be run by my eldest sister, so he thinks about the problem too simply." ”

"How is your eldest sister doing?" Di Yan asked again.

"It's okay for her to live in Mingxiu Villa with her children, and she will go home after this period of limelight. ”

Li Zhen said that the risk refers to Lai Junchen's investigation of himself, and now he doesn't know the progress of Lai Junchen's investigation of himself, and he is probably still looking for his secret treasure, Li Zhen sneered in his heart, he really hopes that Lai Junchen can find a treasure of his own in the Pure Land Temple, so that he can also taste the taste of the rich and rival country.

The two drank a few glasses of wine, Li Zhen saw that there was no one left and right, so he told Di Yan in detail about today's investigation, Di Yan heard that Chi Lian Jin had appeared again, and that the seven-leaf pearl was owned by Wu Chenghe's concubine, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "This is strange, the Chi Lian Jin in the palace and the Chi Lian Jin in Wu Chenghe's mansion are in the hands of my master, how can there be this kind of poison? Could it be that someone ran to Tochar again?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I have been thinking about this question repeatedly, at first I suspected that it was Wu Chenghe, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, since the other party did not use Chilian Jin to poison the Xiangwang, what is the point of exposing it? ”

Di Yan understood what Li Zhen meant, "You mean to say that someone framed Wu Chenghe?"

"It can only be said that there is such a possibility, and it cannot be ruled out that it was really Wu Chenghe's subordinates, but they were negligent for a while and left a handle. ”

"So how do you explain Chi Lian Jin?"

"Very well explained"

Li Zhen said with a smile: "I don't believe that the Chilian Gold Poison in Wu Chenghe's Mansion has been confiscated, and there must be a little bit of it hidden." ”

Di Yan nodded, "The key is to find that guard named Huo Zhishan, how do I feel that there is another Lan Zhenyu." ”

Thinking of the battle of wits and courage with Lan Zhenyu last year, Li Zhen actually had an indescribable nostalgia in his heart.
