Chapter 42: A Restless Night
The look in Xie Yunxiao's eyes was still indifferent, he didn't take off the mask on his face, but if he could see his face, it would definitely be extremely pale.
Don't look at the fact that he killed Zhang He in a few rounds, in fact, he was also seriously injured, how easy is it to break through the defense of Zhang He's Six Realms?
Xie Yunxiao couldn't help coughing a few times, he carefully checked Lianxiang's house, as well as the courtyard outside, to make sure that there were no flaws left, and then left.
The time was approaching, Lianxiang's dance had stopped, and no matter how much money everyone gave tonight, she didn't pick up customers, but chose to go back to the backyard to rest.
Only then did I walk into the passage of the backyard, and the pungent smell of blood was blowing in the breeze.
Lian Xiang's expression condensed slightly, and when she walked forward, she saw Zhang He who was killed in the courtyard.
She was born as a fox demon and turned into a human form, and her cultivation is obviously comparable to ordinary people.
But the moment he saw Zhang He's corpse, his face turned white.
Because she still has an identity, she is a pawn planted by the white-clothed son of the Blood Moon Sect in the drunken spring breeze.
The moment Lianxiang saw Zhang He's corpse, she thought a lot, but she didn't know what all this meant, and after thinking for a moment, she screamed loudly.
Then, in the front yard, which was quieter than before, this scream was naturally heard.
Tonight, Li Zelin and Guo Xun were also drunk with the spring breeze, Li Zelin's complexion changed slightly, and said, "This is the cry of Miss Lianxiang!" ”
He was the first to rush out, and the rest of the people also followed as fast as they could.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw Lianxiang with a frightened look on her face, and she kept retreating.
And Li Zelin was the first to recognize Zhang Helai lying on the ground, his complexion changed in an instant, he followed as quickly as possible, and checked it, only to find that Zhang He had been out of breath for a while.
"What's going on?" Li Zelin was the son of the great general Li Mu, and one of the officials in charge of the yamen of the Zhao State in charge of criminal cases, and he looked at Lianxiang at the moment, and there was an indescribable majesty in his voice.
"I ······ When the slave family came into the yard, they saw a corpse, and they were so frightened that they screamed, and then you all came in, and I ······ I don't know what's going on! Lianxiang cried and said, looking pitiful.
When Li Zelin heard this, his brows furrowed very tightly, he could see that there had been a big war here, but the murderer was very good, and at a glance, there were no useful clues left.
Looks like we'll have to take a closer look.
"Yo, isn't this the one who died, General Zhang? It seems that Brother Li is going to investigate the case himself! Guo Xun smiled faintly.
Zhang He is a figure in the army, and he is also a person under Li Mu, Li Mu and Guo Kai have been fighting opponents for many years, and Guo Xun is naturally happy to see the people in the other camp die.
Li Zelin glanced at Guo Xun coldly and said, "You'd better get out of the way, I'm in a bad mood!" ”
At this moment, Guo Xun felt as if thousands of knives had fallen on his body, and he involuntarily stepped back a few steps.
"You ······" Guo Xun's mouth trembled, and he found that this Li Zelin was a little different than usual.
Li Zelin ignored him, but walked into the room, and when he saw the dead sound, his brows furrowed even tighter.
At this time, Li Zelin's subordinates came over and asked, "Son, go to the yamen to call someone!" ”
Li Zelin nodded, Zhang He was killed, this is not only related to their Li family, but for Zhao Guo, it is definitely a shocking event.
Inside the drunken spring breeze, there was a panic at this time, and it was not until the arrival of Li Zelin's men and horses that the scene was stabilized.
Lian Xiang deliberately pretended to be frightened, and did not leave the courtyard in a hurry, and did not go back until Li Zelin made some exploration.
There is no moon at night, I don't know when, the sky is already dark, this autumn night, there is a little hot breath, obviously brewing a heavy rain.
Lianxiang went back to the house, but she saw the man in white sitting there, her heart trembled violently, and then she saluted.
"Childe, why are you here?" Lianxiang asked.
The man in white turned around and said, "Zhang He was assassinated in the drunken spring breeze, what did you find?" ”
Lian Xiang said everything she saw, and the man in white frowned.
"Who killed Zhang He?" The boy in white seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking Lianxiang.
"The murderer did a very clean job, in the yard, there were no clues left, and now it is Zhao Guo who should have a headache, and it is Li Mucai!" Lianxiang said.
The man in white shook his head: "You just came to the drunken spring breeze, and this kind of thing happened to the drunken spring breeze, once Zhao Guo delves into it, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for a long time chasing the spring breeze!" ”
When Lian Xiang heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she said, "What does Childe mean, this person may be coming for us?" ”
"Probably not, if it's for us, there's no need to go through such a lot of trouble!" The man in white said.
Lian Xiang didn't know how to answer, so she didn't speak.
The man in white fell silent, obviously unable to understand these things for a while.
What he is most worried about now is not the drunken spring breeze here, but the people who are hidden in the Zhao State court hall will be excavated.
"It seems that this night is destined to be unpeaceful!" The man in white looked up at the night sky outside the window, and the black clouds pressed down at this time were lower than before, and a heavy rain was coming.
On the streets of the capital of Zhao State, the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the government can be seen everywhere.
Li Zelin is really going crazy, it has been almost an hour since Zhang He was killed, but no clues have been found.
Even if the Yamen soldiers and horses were mobilized, it only made the capital of Zhao State popular, but as for the case, there was no progress.
It was night, King Zhao, who had already gone to bed, got up overnight, and the minister of civil and military affairs entered the palace overnight.
In the main hall, everyone was whispering.
In the court, it has always been rare to see the ministers of civil and military affairs working together, intriguing, and forming gangs, which is their norm.
In the court of Zhao State, which of these civil and military officials does not have a hundred and ten hearts?
At this time, a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this Zhang died in the drunken spring breeze, which damaged the face of Zhao Guo, and the general Li Mu was his boss and should be guilty!" ”
"It's really a joke, General Zhang He has made great contributions to my Zhao Guoguo, how can you slander it at will?" There are generals who refute it.
"Anyway, it's an indisputable fact that he died in the Qinglou, right?"
It was Guo Kai, the head of the civil officials of Zhao State, who spoke, and when his voice came out, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
Those generals, one by one, stared at each other, their faces were full of anger, and some of them had red necks, but they couldn't refute Guo Kai's words.
Zhang He didn't even marry his wife, and these generals really couldn't figure out what the reason was that Zhang He went to the Qinglou.
The only one who can fight with Guo Kai is the general Li Mu, but at this time Li Mu is still in the barracks and has not returned, so Guo Kai has no opponent.
King Zhao rubbed his eyebrows, he knew the details of Zhang He, and naturally understood why Zhang He would go to get drunk on the spring breeze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing now is to find the murderer who killed General Zhang, as for other aspects, let's not talk about it for the time being!" King Zhao's voice sounded, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs naturally did not dare to refute it easily.
"Li Zelin, the son of the general, is investigating this case, and it won't be long before the case will come to light!"
Guo Kai seems to be praising Li Zelin, but in fact he is a killing.
He got the news that the murderer did a clean job, and there was no clue at all, and if Li Zelin couldn't solve the case, then he would have the opportunity to participate in Li Zelin's play, and give Li Mu a knife by the way.
"Well, let's all tell me, who will this murderer be?" King Zhao said again.
At this moment, Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs, you have a word for me.
Some people speculate that it is Zhang He's enemy, and some people speculate that it is a killer sent by other countries, after all, Zhang He is a famous general all over the world, even if his cultivation is not superior.
In the past, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did not fight-for-tat, but instead pointed the finger at the murderer, this is what King Zhao wanted, and his face finally showed a gentle smile of satisfaction.
After Li Zelin went crazy for a while, he suddenly realized that the murderer's layout was so sophisticated that he didn't leave any clues. Obviously, before assassinating Zhang He, all preparations were made.
This requires a comprehensive understanding of Zhang He, including diet and daily life, as well as living habits, etc., and you must know that Zhang He goes to get drunk in the spring breeze, under normal circumstances, he must be the person around Zhang He, and the person Zhang He trusts.
Thinking of this, Li Zelin asked his subordinates to continue the search, while on the other hand, he led people and horses to Zhang He's general's mansion.
The people of the Zhang family were all standing in the hall, all of them trembling, and many people were even more confused in their eyes.
"I'll say it again, have any of you told outsiders about General Zhang's whereabouts!"
Li Zelin's majestic voice sounded, and these people in the general's mansion were all full of fear and cold sweat.
Someone must have said it, but Xie Yunxiao was so powerful that they couldn't even think of what they said.
Even if you can think about it, if you don't go to a desperate situation, you don't dare to talk nonsense, because it's about your own life.
"I know, you may not dare to say it, but if I find out, you will only die more miserably, including your relatives, will be implicated, now say it, one person will die, and if I find out, many people will die!" Li Zelin's voice sounded again without any emotion.
These people all live in the capital of Zhao State, so they naturally know what kind of person Li Zelin is, and these words are like the king of Hades asking for their lives.
"Master Li, we really don't know what to say, because we usually can't even go out of the General's Mansion, how can we tell others about the General's daily habits?" The first one cried.
The rest of the people are all in line at this time.
But one of them was trembling violently, and it was obvious that he remembered something.
Li Zelin is not a vegetarian, and any expressions of these people can't escape his perception.
At that moment, there was a slight smile on his face, but this smile was slightly cold.
"Come here!" Li Zelin pointed at the man and said.
The man's face turned pale, he knelt on the ground, and cried out, "Your Excellency, spare your life!" ”
"Say, how did you leak General Zhang's secret!" Li Zelin's voice was indescribably cold.
How dare this man hide it? Saying everything that I remembered.
Li Zelin could see that this was also some ordinary conversation under the side knock, and the person who spoke, under normal circumstances, would not know that he had leaked a secret.
"What a cleverness!" Li Zelin sighed, then looked at the man and said, "Do you know? Your general was killed by you! ”
In the entire hall, there was only Li Zelin's voice, and the man was prostrate on the ground, his body frozen.
