The murderer who hurt the county lord of Anping and the eldest princess was the beauty in the palace of the king of Weizhou, which was the unequivocal identification of the four maidservants.

Ye Kai, who was ordered by the prisoner Liu Rentu to investigate and find the murderer, was very sure of this.

Wang Yuwen Canglan was shocked in his expression, his eyebrows raised,

"The county lord of Anping is extraordinary, my beauty is weak and delicate, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, how can she hurt people and commit murder? What about the seriously injured county lord and eldest princess? Is it really a joke? Aren't those four minions dazzled? ”

"The four maidservants said that in addition to that beauty, there was also a masked man, and it was the two of them who shot together to hurt the county lord and the eldest princess."

Ye Kai's words were chiseled, and his expression was calm.

At this time, the county lord of Anping, who had taken the injury medicine, gradually came to her senses, and she looked at Qin Xuanzhi, who was standing aside to observe the injury,

"Pavilion Master Qin, how is my mother?"

Qin Xuanzhi comforted: "The eldest princess is fine, but she is still in a coma, so the county lord doesn't have to worry."

Mo Siqi's expression soothed, "Have those two murderers ever been caught?" ”

Qin Xuanzhi hesitated, "Well..., it should be being arrested, please rest assured that the county lord is at ease." ”

I heard that the county lord woke up, Liu Ren Tu, and Yuwen Canglan all gathered over.

Seeing Liu Rentu, Mo Siqi's tears were like pearls with broken threads, she grabbed Liu Rentu's hand,

"Brother Ling Feng, you must avenge your sister and mother, capture the murderer, and cut it with a thousand knives!"

Liu Rentu nodded, "Don't worry, county lord, can you see the murderer's appearance clearly?" ”

Mo Siqi tried her best to remember, "Yes..., it's the woman in the dormitory, and a masked person, that woman doesn't look like a woman, the masked person is very good." ”

"How not like a woman? How do you do it? County Lord, you speak slowly. Yuwen Canglan hurriedly asked.

Mo Siqi lost too much blood and was dizzy for a while, she tried her best to think about it, and talked about it intermittently for a while before finally clarifying what had just happened, which was the same as what the maids said.

"Well..., the beauty in the dormitory looks like a man in both figure and appearance, not like a woman."

Mo Siqi tried her best to recall.

"That masked man is very tight, he shouldn't be under Brother Ling Feng."

Liu Rentu frowned slightly, "There shouldn't be many such skills in Dachu." ”

Yuwen Canglan took a deep breath, "The murderer that the county lord said should not be my beauty, come, go and invite that beauty." ”

It didn't take long for Wan Niang to come over with the support of the maid Luzhu.

Today's Wan Niang is wearing a delicate emerald green dress, embroidered with intricate gold patterns on the skirt, just like the flowers blooming in spring.

She wore a silk ribbon studded with pearls around her waist, and although she had given birth, her figure was still slender and graceful like a girl.

Her long hair was carefully combed into a feiyun bun, and a jade hosta was inserted, and the hosta was inlaid with a bright pearl, which trembled slightly as she walked, looking vivid and graceful.

The makeup is exquisite, carefully depicted, lightly applied powder, and thin red lips, although it is not stunning, it is indeed a beauty.

Wan Niang came to the front to salute everyone, Yuwen Canglan's face sank like water,

"Beauty, where are you? Have you ever done something hurtful? ”

Wan Niang was stunned for a moment, "When the slave family heard that there were assassins outside the palace, they were scared, so they didn't dare to leave in the palace. He has ever hurt people, Luzhu has always been by her side, and she can testify. ”

Yuwen Canglan frowned, stretched out his hand and pulled Wan Niang to the side of the county lord of Anping, "County lord, she is the murderer who hurt you, don't worry, if it is her, I will definitely not spare it." ”

Mo Siqi looked at it carefully, "How can it be her, this is a beauty, the one who hurts people, looks like a man." ”

Yuwen Canglan breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, the beauty who stabbed the county lord is the assassin pretending." ”

Mo Siqi spoke weakly, "Yes, but why didn't you see this beauty in the palace just now?" ”

Wan Niang's face was shocked, "I have not left the palace all this time, and the slave family has never seen the county lord arrive!" ”

Mo Siqi was also shocked, "Not only this beauty, there are very few people in the entire palace." ”

Yuwen Canglan frowned, "Could it be that the county lord just went to Jinbi Palace, this palace is divided into two palaces, the front palace is called Jinbi, the apse is called Xiaoyao, the beauty is living in the Xiaoyao Palace, Fang is in a hurry, this king has not been carefully advised." ”

Wan Niang nodded, "Yes, the slave family has just been here for two days, and they are also confused, and the two dormitories are also indistinguishable." ”

The county lord of Anping had no blood on his face, and she barely moved.

"How can it be so coincidental that there are assassins in the palace where my mother and I went?"

The four maidservants on the side were all suspicious, "When we accompanied the county lord and the eldest princess into this Jinbi Palace, the guards in front of the door were ordered by the king of Yuzhou, and they knew that the county lord came to change clothes, but it didn't mean that the beauty was not in this palace!" ”

Liu Rentu turned his head to look at Yuwen Canglan, "Order someone to call the guards in front of Jinbi Palace, and you will find out as soon as you ask." ”

Yuwen Canglan nodded, "That's what Jianguo said. ”

Soon four palace gate guards were brought over, and Yuwen Canglan said coldly,

"Just now, when the county lord of Anping and the others entered the Jinbi Palace, how many of you guarded the palace gate?"

The four of them bowed, "Exactly." ”

"Why didn't the county lord and others make it clear that this is Jinbi Palace when they entered the palace, and the beauties were not among them?"

The four guards were a little dazed, and one of them bowed and saluted,

"We are only responsible for guarding the palace gate, who is in the palace? Whoever lives we have to guard the palace gate, because we don't know the situation in the palace and don't inquire, today it has to be called the order of the king of the state, it is the county lord who changes his clothes and does not stop it, we are just acting on orders. ”

After the four guards retreated, Yuwen Canglan sighed,

"Hey, it's all an omission in a hurry, it should be that the assassins mixed into the dormitory, pretending to be beauties and intending to assassinate, but they should have been quite hasty, and they only had time to enter the Jinbi Palace, and they didn't go to the Xiaoyao Palace, otherwise my beauty would be unpredictable."

Liu Rentu's expression was solemn, "It is very likely that the person the assassin wants to assassinate is the king of the state, and the county lord of Anping and the eldest princess are just at the right time." ”

Yuwen Canglan sighed again, "Hey, time is also fate, I didn't expect that it was the county lord of Anping and the eldest princess who blocked the catastrophe for this king, I really don't know whether to be happy or blame myself." ”

Mo Siqi's expression became more and more ugly, and she closed her eyes and stopped talking.

While Liu Rentu and Yuwen Canglan were investigating the case, the guards of the Prison Mansion and the guards of the palace were carefully searching the Jinbi Palace, especially the dormitory where the assassination occurred.

How did the Assassins get into the palace?

They inspected every room, every door, and carefully watched every nook and cranny for any suspicious traces or clues.

Finally, it was discovered that there were some unusual places on the roof of the palace, which seemed to be traces of being turned over.

The guards climbed onto the roof of the palace and searched in the direction of those traces.

Finally, in a corner of the roof, a hidden hole was found, which was cleverly disguised, and it was difficult to find without a particularly careful search, and it turned out that the assassin had entered the palace through this roof opening.

There was such a big thing, and the housewarming banquet would definitely not be done, and the guests had to leave one after another.

After getting the news, Marshal Mo Zhenshan and General Mo Nanfeng all rushed to Tianzhu Mountain.

Seeing the unconscious wife and the injured daughter, Mo Zhenshan could not hide his anger, and he ordered 10,000 soldiers to search Tianzhu Mountain thoroughly, not sparing an inch of land, and digging three feet into the ground to find out the assassins.

Mo Nanfeng personally led his troops to search, and finally found traces left by the assassins in a hidden cave on the cliff of Tianzhu Mountain, which had a passage that connected to the outside of the mountain, from which the assassins entered and exited the canyon.

Mo Nanfeng led the troops to chase out of the mountain, until they reached the front of the Chu River, the river was surging, rushing away, and all traces were taken away by the river.

Mo Nanfeng still did not give up, and led his troops to search along the upper and lower reaches of the river for nearly 100 miles, and finally returned in vain.

Mo Zhenshan escorted his wife and daughter back to the Marshal's Mansion in Kyoto City, accompanied by Qin Xuanzhi.

Now Mo Siqi, the county lord of Anping, is fine, and he only needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover, but he will leave a scar on his shoulder.

But the situation of the eldest princess Yuwen Peiyun is not optimistic, although her internal injuries are not light, they can be recovered after recuperation, but the heavy injury to her head is very serious, even if she can wake up, I am afraid she will become a person with dementia.

Listening to Qin Xuanzhi's words, Mo Zhenshan's face turned pale, this matter needs to be reported to Yuwen Zongheng, the son of heaven in the Western Barbarians, after all, Yuwen Peiyun is the sister of the son of heaven.

When he left, Mo Zhenshan handed over the matter of tracking down the murderer to his son Mo Nanfeng, this matter can't be left like that, if the murderer is not captured, the deterrence of the Western Barbarians, the face of his Mo family will be gone.

In the Jinbi Palace of Tianzhu Mountain, Yuwen Canglan, Liu Rentu, and Mo Nanfeng sat opposite each other.

Mo Nanfeng's expression was serious, "Liu Jianguo, how many rebels in Dachu can be assassins?" Who are they? You know best, what do you think about this? ”

Liu Ren Tu frowned, "Since Qingfeng Town, there have been assassins who have been chasing me unabated, and I have been paying attention to it, but I don't think it was the work of any of the rebels I am familiar with. ”

Yuwen Canglan sighed lightly, "Hey, speaking of which, the assassin was originally going to assassinate this king, and the county lord and aunt were implicated by me and suffered an unjustified disaster. ”

"As far as this king knows, the most frequently active in the vicinity of Kyoto City in this Great Chu should be the rebel army led by Ding Luoheng, the son of General Huaiyuan of Great Chu."

Liu Rentu shook his head slightly, "I have dealt with Ding Luoheng several times, he has assassinated me many times and failed, I still know him very well."

"Ding Luoheng himself is indeed brave, but his subordinates are not so powerful, and they can escape so well-trained to avoid the pursuit of our Western Barbarian Army.

Mo Nanfeng frowned, "Since it wasn't Ding Luoheng who did it, who else could there be?" ”
