Yuan Dongxiang's duty room gave Liu Xin a feeling of cleanliness!

Incredibly neat!

The bottles and cans on the Bogu shelves are placed extremely neatly, and the books and documents on the shelves are also angular. The desk and chair are so clean that they can illuminate the appearance of people, and the table legs are aligned with the chair legs, giving Liu Xin a feeling of unity.

Yuan Dongxiang was tidying up his potted plants at this time, and the pine was pruned into a perfect triangle, and when he heard footsteps, Yuan Dongxiang turned his head to look.

"Liu Baihu is here." Yuan Dongxiang looked at Liu Xin to sit down, while he was still fiddling with his potted plant.

Liu Xin stopped in place and didn't move, he glanced at the neat and tidy tables and chairs, and felt that if he sat down, he might destroy the unity, so he simply stood in place and said:

"No need, to disturb the original thousand households, mainly because I want the thousands of households to be convenient, I want to take a new look at the files of the horse eunuchs, as well as the files of the investigation here in the East Factory!"

After Liu Xin finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Dongxiang's back with a little expectation and a hint of unease.

Although Liu Xin consciously has formed a preliminary tacit understanding with Yuan Dongxiang, and they are now in a cooperative relationship, but without the king of the county by his side, this feeling of grasp is much weaker.

Yuan Dongxiang didn't turn around, but said softly: "It turned out to be this matter, it's just a trivial matter, you go to Wang Zhangban, I have already told you." ”

So easy to do?

Liu Xin froze in place with some surprise, and it took two or three seconds before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for thousands of households!" ”

Yuan Dongxiang stood up straight, turned around, looked in the direction outside the door, and found the young man standing at the door, tall as a pine, and said with a smile: "This is all a trivial matter, no need to thank you." There's no one else here, so I'll just get it straight. I've read your information, although I don't know how you got in touch with the king of Yongzhou, but it's okay, I don't care about the details. I only care about results! Liu Licheng deliberately corrected you, and you can feel it when you think about it, at this time, either he will bring you down or you will fight back against him, and if you cooperate with me, you will definitely not be able to lose you. We don't need credit, we just need to get things done. If you can help me find out the whole story of this case, and the final credit, I can give you all the credit! ”

Liu Xin showed a flattered look, and thanked him again and again, Yuan Dongxiang's actions were undisguised, he was looking at the face of the king of Yongzhou, and the glance he looked outside the door was to make sure that the person of the king of the county was not there, and it was because the person of the king of the county was also there, so he would be so good at talking. Liu Xin would not think that the person who could sit in the seat of Yuan Dongxiang would be a kind and good person.

Yuan Dongxiang's rank is much higher than Liu Licheng's, there is no doubt about it, and Liu Xin is very sure of this.

After thanking him, Liu Xin left Yuan Dongxiang's duty room very simply, this Qianhu is very straightforward, but this is also very in line with Liu Xin's character, he is also an anxious person.

Yuan Dongxiang held scissors in his hand, walked to the door of the duty room, and looked at it, Luo Bei was like a silent follower, mechanically following behind Liu Xin, for Luo Bei, this was just a task given to him by the king of the county, just complete it, there is no need to have too much emotional communication during the period, so it seems a little wooden. However, Yuan Dongxiang, a servant of the royal family, did not fall on Luo Bei's body at this moment, but looked deeply at Liu Xin's back, and it was not until Liu Xin's back disappeared that he withdrew his gaze, a smile with deep meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly turned around and paced back.

Wang Zhangban really received the order, the most detailed file of the East Factory had already been prepared, and before Liu Xin could say what he wanted, Wang Zhangban took these things out. And also explain on the side. This made Liu Xin feel flattered, but he quickly reacted that this was actually the feeling that there was someone behind it.

This can be regarded as enjoying the daily life of the second generation of officials.

With Wang Zhang's class explaining and a detailed case file, Liu Xin had a clear understanding of this case for the first time.

The case began at the beginning of the year, there was a eunuch who accidentally drowned, although it was not common for ordinary eunuchs and palace maids to drown, but it also happened occasionally, after all, the imperial city is also a city, there are lakes and rivers in the city, and these eunuchs and palace maids will also go to the river to enjoy the scenery when they are not on duty. But because the identities of the dead eunuchs were different, and the weather was cold and frozen at that time, although the rivers in the imperial city were artificially frozen, and there was no frozen condition, it was not something that ordinary people would go.

Therefore, the imperial horse supervisor specially found someone here to conduct an autopsy, and it was found that the eunuch was knocked unconscious before drowning, and there was a mark on his neck.

This matter attracted the attention of a director of the imperial horse supervisor, so it was reported to the East Factory, which investigated for several days, but there was no clue, so it was closed. Although the case file has always been there, the investigation has actually been abandoned here in Dongchang, and after a long time, this will become a death case and finally be shelved.

And the day before Liu Xin took office, there was another murder in the Imperial Horse Prison, and this time it was obviously he who killed him. It is not a trivial matter that he was killed in the imperial city, Dongchang intervened, and Jinyiwei was also transferred to assist in the investigation, but unfortunately no substantive clues were found.

It wasn't until two days later that the third eunuch was killed, and His Majesty was completely furious and ordered Jinyiwei to intervene in the matter and investigate with Dongchang. As a result, on the night of the investigation by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, two more horse eunuchs were poisoned and died, and this poison has now found clues, from the Xingzhu faction.

Five eunuchs died before and after, and they have obvious things in common, all of them come from a small sect on the rivers and lakes, the Imperial Horse Sect, and they are also members of the same secret art research project, a total of eight of them, almost eating and living together in the imperial city for more than ten years.

If there is no accident sooner or later, it happens that the secret technique of raising horses they studied is about to be completed, and no matter how stupid people are at this moment, they can guess that the death of the eunuchs who raised horses is related to the secret technique. And this secret technique of raising horses is related to the national fortune of Zhengyang Kingdom, and it is a big matter, His Majesty is not only obsessed with finding the real culprit, he wants to find out all the masterminds behind this and get rid of it.

So far, the biggest suspicion is the Northern Barbarians, because the existence of the secret art of raising horses is the deadliest threat to the Northern Barbarians. Therefore, now in the imperial capital, a few rare Northern Barbarian caravans and the Northern Barbarian envoys in the Honglu Temple have been closely guarded, and they can only huddle in their own inns or Honglu Temple, and they are not allowed to go out!

Seeing this, Liu Xin suddenly frowned, the close supervision of the Northern Barbarians had already happened on the night when the two eunuchs were poisoned, and he was attacked the next day, if it was really the tenth master of the Northern Barbarians, it means that he was not guarded, and he was still free. The imperial court leaked a wave of northern barbarians!

Liu Xin put this suspicion aside for the time being and continued to look at the case file. The most important clues in this case are actually the methods and poisons of the murder, but the methods are all conventional, and I can't see the doorway inside, but it can be determined that this person can still kill people under the strict guard of Dongchang and the warrior camp, at least a Dacheng realm martial artist. This has been highly recognized by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

And the poison has been without clues before, although it is now known that it comes from the Xingzhu faction, but the Xingzhu faction is a southern sect, and it is too far away from the imperial capital, and it seems that it is difficult to continue to track down the source.

There is another clue about the poison, and that is to investigate the manpower who has just entered the imperial city. Before knowing the characteristics of the poison, Dongchang found out all the records of entering and leaving the imperial city since the beginning of the year, and screened the dates in combination with the time of these cases. The record of tens of thousands of entries and exits has been reduced to less than 1,000.

But because the characteristics of the poison were discovered, Liu Xin knew that the record of the thousand entries and exits would be broadened again. Because Dream Fall is a chronic poison, it can be poisoned in fractions, and there will be no abnormalities until the poison is induced, no matter how large the dose. And once stimulated by the drug, according to the degree of accumulation of poison in the poisoned person's body, the poisoned person will fall into a coma of varying lengths, as if falling into a dream, and then quietly pass away in a coma.

The higher the dose in the body, the shorter the time of the final coma and the faster the death.

This is a strange poison, which was originally concocted, although it is a little strange, but for poison, there are too many superfluous things. Poison is used to poison people, colorless, odorless and not easy to detect, and then killing with one blow is the best poison.

However, although Dream Fall is not the best poison, it is the most suitable poison for poisoners in the Imperial City, and there is only one reason, that is, it is unpopular enough. It was so unpopular that most warriors didn't know about the existence of this poison.

After all, it is an imperial city, and I don't know how many masters and poisonous masters have been hidden. Ordinary poisons, even the most top-notch, invisible poisons that kill people, can be detected in the imperial city, and even this possibility is very high.

And the unpopularity of the dream has led to very few people who know about it, and almost no people have seen it. In addition, it is colorless and odorless, and it will not cause poisoning without medicine, which is an excellent poison that can be brought into the imperial city and used.

Because it is a chronic poison and a very unpopular relationship, the person who may bring in the poison will become uncertain when he will enter the imperial city. Almost at any time, it is possible for someone who enters the Imperial City to bring that poison with them. And not limited to the days before and after the death of the few horse-raising eunuchs.

At this point, the case file investigated by the East Factory was basically finished, and Liu Xin could feel the essence of the East Factory.

Liu Xin then read the information of the eight horse eunuchs in detail, and the eight of them were all from a small sect in the rivers and lakes, the Imperial Horse Sect. For more than ten years in the Imperial Horse Prison, just to study a secret technique, but the eight people studied it separately, each of them mastered a part of the secret art, and only when everyone's secret art was combined was a complete secret art.

They have not been able to enter and leave the imperial city for more than ten years, and only the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the authority to inform them of the outside affairs. Emperor Kangyang once promised that as long as they studied the secret method, they would leave the imperial city and reunite with their families.

Seeing this, Liu Xin slandered in his heart, Emperor Kangyang's words were obviously a bit insulting, but anyone with a little brain knew that it was impossible for the emperor to let them out, unless it was a handful of white bones that went out, which could also be regarded as a golden mouth.

However, these eight eunuchs were not stupid, and naturally understood that it was just a cake painted by the emperor for them, so they only occasionally asked the head of the imperial horse prison about the situation of their families, as long as they knew that their families were well, they had no intention of going out.

After reading the case file and the detailed information of the eight horse eunuchs, Liu Xin pinched his eyebrows, looked at Wang Zhangban and said, "I have some ideas, I hope to relay them to the original thousand households for me!" ”

Because the two sides are now in a cooperative relationship, it is also a good choice to have a good relationship with Dongchang, the key is that he now has the king of the county as a backer, I don't know if this backer can continue to rely on, so every second counts.

Liu Xin can see that Yuan Dongxiang is a capable person, and it is a blessing to cooperate with a capable person, the key is that this person does not seek fame and fortune, but only seeks no fault. Hehe, such a capable and non-credit helper, no matter who you are, you will like to work with it.

Of course, all this must be based on the premise that Liu Xin has the backer of the county king behind him. After all, Yuan Dongxiang was looking at the face of the king of the county, so he would treat Liu Xin like this.

Wang Zhangban looked at Liu Xin in surprise, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Liu Xin, a young man, was not simple, he just saw him in a hurry last time, and he didn't care, but when he saw it this time, he felt different.

Therefore, he also carefully wrote down a few points that Liu Xin said, and prepared to report to Yuan Qianhu later.

Liu Xin put forward four key points:

First, it was the Dacheng Realm warriors who killed people, and when the last two horse eunuchs were poisoned, the imperial city was already under martial law, and it was impossible to leave the imperial city quietly unless it was a high-grade Dacheng realm. But the possibility that the murderer is a top-grade Dacheng realm martial artist is extremely small, if he has that strength, he can kill him directly, break out of the imperial city, and escape from the imperial capital directly, there is no need to poison him! Therefore, it is suspected that the real murderer is still in the imperial city. At present, the imperial city has been under martial law, and this person cannot escape.

Second, the source of the poison is not considered for the time being, but there are not many people who can reasonably come to the vicinity of the Imperial Horse Prison in and out of the Imperial City. According to the location, those who bring poison into the imperial city should be on duty near the Imperial Horse Prison, there are not many such locations, only the Wenhua Palace, the Warrior Barracks and the South Imperial Dining Room. Focus on the personnel entering and exiting these three areas.

Third, the head of the imperial horse eunuch communicated with the families of the eight horse eunuchs, but according to the clues found by Jinyiwei, the families of the horse eunuchs did not live well in the field, and the money that should have been distributed was not in place in time.

Fourth, the most critical point is that the ultimate goal of the real murderer of the Imperial Horse Prison case is to obtain the secret technique of raising horses, and after obtaining the secret technique, it must be transported out of the imperial city. Although I don't know what carrier the secret technique is placed on and what the specific content is, I want to know it when I come to Dongchang, and I will definitely make corresponding countermeasures to avoid leakage. At this time, the most urgent thing for the real murderer is actually to send the secret method out of the imperial city. You can start from this aspect and try to lure the snake out of the hole.

After listening to this, Wang Zhangban nodded silently, Liu Xin's analysis did make some sense, which they hadn't thought of before. Because Dongchang's attention has always been on poisons, as long as the characteristics of the poison are investigated, the focus of the next investigation can be found. It's a pity that they have only been able to get the clues of the poison for a long time, and they have not yet analyzed it. And Liu Xin helped them analyze and summarize the next key investigation directions. This kind of ability is very valued by the original Qianhu.

"For the third point, I think I can give an explanation." Wang Zhangban said: "The head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has been explained. Except for the first two years after entering the palace, Cui Wenxiu and Cui's father-in-law no longer looked for anyone to contact the families of the eight horse eunuchs. Because Yulu has been distributing truthfully, after all, this is His Majesty's personal favor, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor does not dare to do anything. Because of this, Gonggong Cui thinks that these eight people can't get out anyway, and it is impossible to have contact with the outside world. Thinking that the life of this group of family members outside must be good, they will no longer arrange for people to investigate. Therefore, in the following years, Grandpa Cui has dealt with the eight horse eunuchs casually every time. ”

Liu Xin suddenly thought that since Yulu had been distributed, but the women and children had not gotten the silver, it was Si Yanqing who wanted to take the Yulu, because he had been receiving Yulu, and Si Yanqing's whereabouts seemed to have a direction of investigation.

After asking about the distribution of Yulu, Wang Zhangban personally took Liu Xin to find a eunuch who was responsible for managing the account books of Yulu. But I didn't expect that the eight horse eunuchs had not received it for more than half a year, and the last time they received it was before the death of the first eunuch!

After the eunuch died, there was no one to collect the money of the eunuchs.

Liu Xin asked the eunuch in charge of the account books to know the appearance of the person who came to receive the money, but the eunuch only remembered that it was a woman, and she had come to collect it all these years, basically once every six months or so, so it was impressive, but not profound. After all, they are eunuchs, and they lack interest in women. And because it was a waist card to receive it, the woman's name was unknown, and there was no way to find out.

I didn't come for more than half a year, was it because of a coincidence, or was it related to the case after that?

Liu Xin felt more and more that Si Yanqing, a woman, was the key to the whole case, and finding her would solve many problems.

Wang Zhangban also sensed the importance of this woman, and exchanged opinions with Liu Xin: "Could this woman be related to the case?" ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded: "There should be some connection, but the specific connection is unknown." However, this is also an important suspicion, because judging from the clues found by Jinyiwei, this woman has swept away all the money of the eight horse eunuchs over the years. And the killers outside tried to kill the widows of the eunuchs who raised horses several times, most likely in order to cover up the woman. ”

Wang Zhangban said with a solemn face: "This is a very important clue, but Jinyiwei is already investigating in this direction, and it is not convenient for Dongchang to interfere." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Yuan Qianhu that I found something here, and I will definitely contact him in time." ”

Wang Zhangban smiled, and when he looked at Liu Xin, he already regarded him as half of his own.

Liu Xin got the information he wanted and immediately left the East Factory.

The name Si Yanqing is actually a key, but because of the source of the information, Liu Xin can't explain it to Yuan Dongxiang. And he is also in ambush a hand, the hole cards can not be taken out at one time, and the use of the most appropriate time may be able to get a higher reward.

And today, after re-reading the information of the eight horse raising eunuchs, Liu Xin's interest in one of them has risen to the highest point, because this person is still alive!

At the gate of the imperial city, Liu Xin met Senior Brother Cheng, who was anxiously waiting for him, and the latter's eyes were full of anxiety.

Liu Xin gave Senior Brother Cheng a look without a trace, and asked him to pay attention to what he had exposed in front of Luo Bei, who was like a wooden stick behind him. But thinking that Senior Brother Cheng was experienced, there was nothing abnormal on his face, but he said anxiously: "Liu Baihu, it's not good!" Wu Baihu was attacked and seriously injured! ”
