In the barren grassland outside the city, Zhao Hong hurried over after receiving the report, and when he saw the corpses, Zhao Hong frowned, and there was always something bad in his heart.

But in a moment, an officer and soldier stepped forward: "My lord, they have all been checked, these people are all dead, and they all have wounds caused by sharp weapons, which should be caused by the sword next to them, and I haven't found any useful news from these men in black, but there is a corpse that is dressed differently from these men in black, and it looks like a luxurious fabric, but the face is ruined, I'm afraid it can't be recognized." ”

When Zhao Hong heard this, he immediately asked the officers and soldiers to take him over.

When he reached the depths of the grass, Zhao Hong saw the person lying on the grass on his back, the blood under his body stained a large area of grass, his clothes were cloud brocade, and he was wearing a jade pendant around his waist, and he looked like a rich man.

And the man's face was covered by a white cloth.

Zhao Hong was about to uncover it, but the officers and soldiers hurriedly stopped: "My lord! ”

Zhao Hong paused, and looked over suspiciously.

The officer and soldier hesitated: "This face is too badly damaged, just now the two brothers couldn't stand it and went to the side to relax, why don't you still ...... Don't look at it? Let's look for clues from other places, and then find out if there are any people who have gone missing recently, and let their families claim them. Even if the face is back, the family will definitely be able to recognize the dress and body characteristics. ”

Before the officers and soldiers could finish speaking, Zhao Hong had already uncovered the white cloth covering the corpse.

The moment he saw that face, Zhao Hongrao was mentally prepared and gasped.

I saw the wounds on the face, the flesh turned out, revealing the white bones, and the flesh rolled out was red and white, which was the color of the muscle fibers and blood.

Because it had been here for a while, there were even ants and insects crawling on the rolled flesh.

Zhao Hong only glanced at it, quickly covered it with a white cloth, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief with his other hand, endured it without spitting it out, and looked up at the officers and soldiers.

"What about the work? Ask if there is a way to close the wound on the person's face. ”

"I've already seen it just now, and it can be sewn, but this fetus is troublesome, my lord, let's find a family member to claim it first."

Zhao Hong was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "If you have time, you should stitch it up, and the family will see it...... I feel better, too. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Hong stood up and looked around, it seemed that these people in black were all coming for this person, this person was also powerful, although he was seriously injured and died, but these people in black also died here.

He was about to leave, when he suddenly guessed something under his feet, and Zhao Hong looked down suspiciously.

I saw a copper square plaque scattered on the blood-stained grass.

Zhao Hong picked it up, wiped it with the handkerchief in his hand, and looked at it on the back instead, that is, at this glance, Zhao Hong's face suddenly changed greatly!

He subconsciously held the token tightly, turned to look at the unrecognizable corpse, his face was pale, trembling and shaking.

The officers and soldiers noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly came over to support Zhao Hong: "My lord! What's wrong? ”

"Quick! Fast! ”

Zhao Hong's voice trembled: "Find the carriage to come over, carry this corpse into the carriage properly, and return to the city!" ”

"But my lord, we haven't figured out what the hell is going on, so we just move the corpse at will......"

"Do as I say!"

Zhao Hong didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he was at a loss for fear.

Seeing a team of officers and soldiers come over and lift the corpse and place it carefully on the carriage, Zhao Hong trembled and got on his horse and followed him back to the city.

Along the way, Zhao Hong's mind was chaotic.

He was still clutching the token in his hand.

What should he do?

Back in the capital, Zhao Hong didn't even enter the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and directly sent someone to the Criminal Department with a token.

When the Criminal Department saw Zhao Hong carefully handing over the token, it couldn't help but change its face and looked at Zhao Hong in shock.

Zhao Hong struggled to consider the words: "Xiaguan received a report and went outside the city, this token is next to the corpse, it seems to have been left here, Xiaguan is not sure if it is the corpse, and he can't confirm the identity of the corpse, and he is afraid that the autopsy will be abrupt, so he ...... All of them were sent to the Criminal Department. ”

If that unrecognizable person is really the emperor who has been missing for so long, this matter is terrible.

The emperor who disappeared in Linchuan died on the outskirts of the capital, still in such a cruel way.

The torrent in the DPRK is turbulent, and he, a small Jingzhao Mansion Yin, has no ability to resist in the face of these things.

The official of the Criminal Department held the token with trembling hands, and was about to go out to check, when he heard someone come to report: "My lord, someone from the Liu family is here." ”

"The Liu family?"

Zhao Hong and Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at each other, and went outside one after the other.

When I got out of the door, I saw Liu Shu coming in with a long follower.

After entering the house and sitting down together, Liu Shucai said: "I heard that there was a murder outside the city, but Jingzhao Mansion directly sent it to the Criminal Department, is this case very serious?" ”

The criminal department Shangshu smiled and said, "You are very interested in this case?"

"No, I just happened to hear about this and passed by the Criminal Department, so I came over and asked."

"So that's ...... the Criminal Department," Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "It's just that now that this case has been sent to the Criminal Department, we have to think that the case is important, and it is difficult to say anything before the case is solved." ”

The meaning of this rejection is obvious.

Obviously, I didn't want to say anything more.

Liu Shu also understands that the people in the Criminal Department have nothing to do with their Liu family, and if they really encounter something, they may not necessarily see the face of the Liu family.

But she didn't expect that at this time, the mouth of the criminal department Shangshu was still so hard.

His gaze swept over Shangshu and Zhao Hong of the Criminal Department, and he stood up with a good speech: "This is also a matter of course, I can't stay here, so I'll leave first." ”

Coming out of the Criminal Department, Chao Hua took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Family Master, I have already investigated before Zhao Hong went, the dead are all our people, and the traces on their bodies have been erased by me, and the unrecognizable corpse does look like the emperor, but it is just ...... There were guards around the emperor, but there were none in the corpse. ”

"Not a single one?"

"Nope."

After receiving Chaohua's affirmative answer, Liu Shu frowned unconsciously.

But......

"I heard that Fu Yao went to Linchuan?"

"Yes, Childe, don't you know about this?"

"That's right." Liu Shu snorted: "Li Yan has always been conceited, he dared to go with a few guards for such a big thing as Linchuan, plus there is another Fu Yao in Linchuan, Li Yan most of the time came back alone, leaving the people around him to protect Fu Yao." ”
