When Haixi Cliff and Ma and his wife were talking, Haitang was also talking to his brother Haijiao in the east wing.

She told her brother about the gossip about the Zhou family's three-room that she heard today, and lamented the complexity of her aunt's and grandmother's family. She also mentioned that Zhou Ma's henchman maid Caijuan did have a sister named Cailuo. She later asked about the grapes, Cai Luo is two years younger than Cai Juan, and she just became a maid in Zhou Ma's main house last year, and she is currently only responsible for combing her hair, ironing clothes, serving tea and pouring water. Calculate the time, this Cailuo should be the handmaid who looked like a colorful silk that Haijiao had seen in his previous life in front of the gate of the third room of the Zhou family.

It's just that I don't know who the young man Cailuo was serving at that time was?

Haijiao silently listened to the information his sister heard, and also told her the latest situation he had heard.

Lao Zhangtou's side failed to find the escaped young killer and his helper, but some clues were found from the arrows left by the latter. That kind of arrow is produced by the bow and arrow workshop under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Qianwei, and the metal used in the arrow has a unique formula, and the color is blue, which is difficult for others to imitate. And this kind of arrow, currently in Chang'an, only the old marshal of the Zhenguo Mansion and a few young generals, a few generals who married the daughter of the Zhou family, and the senior generals of the five guards of Chang'an.

There will be no more than fifty people at full capacity.

Although this number is not small, more than half of them are not currently in Chang'an, excluding a few gray-haired veterans, and people whose body characteristics obviously do not match the masked man, there are only about a dozen people left. But Lao Zhangtou didn't spend much effort to investigate. After he reported the matter to the old military master, the two of them were suspicious of Du Boqin.

Du Boqin is not only the owner of the Du family's Zhuangzi, but also bears unshirkable responsibility for the killer's hidden Zhuangzi. He is also the commander of the Chang'an avant-garde, the kind of special arrows produced in the Chang'an avant-garde bow and arrow workshop, others can only take away the specified number of arrows every year, but he can take as many as he wants, it is said that even his deputies and personal soldiers can use this special arrow near the water.

This arrow is light and fast, can shoot long distances without a strong bow, and is also more lethal, which is more popular than other arrows. After getting used to this kind of good arrow, the people around Du Boqin no longer looked down on other arrows.

Even if Du Boqin justified himself with the relative proliferation of such arrows, the old military master and the old Zhang Tou still thought that he was the most suspicious. Because ordinary people will not pick up such a small number of special arrows to do disgraceful things, only Du Boqin's personal guards will not pay attention to it because they are used to using this kind of arrow.

Since those who are the queen of the Young Killer Palace can live in the Du Family's Zhuangzi for so long under the banner of the Du family's concubines and relatives, why can't the people who came to save the Young Killer be Du Boqin's soldiers?

As soon as Dubčin is suspicious, some clues become apparent.

Lao Zhangtou and the others failed to find the young killer and his accomplices in the town of 10,000 people, but there was a summer residence of Du Boqin's family in that town. Located on the edge of the town, the courtyard was the dowry of his deceased wife, and now only one room is left for the family to guard, but it is not the companion room she used to use during her lifetime. When Lao Zhangtou searched the town, he also considered that this house and the Du family Zhuangzi were the same owner, and they might be used by the killers, and it happened to be the marriage of the Zhou family's daughter, so he wanted to go in and search around, but the janitor refused.

The janitor claimed that he would not let anyone into the courtyard without the permission of the Lord's house.

But Lao Zhangtou found footprints left by a suspected juvenile killer near the back door of their courtyard.

His attitude suddenly hardened.

The gatekeeper was afraid that he would break in, so he relented, said that he could go into the city at once and ask the master's permission to do so, and then drove away in a carriage. Two hours later, he drove back alone, and then opened the door and let Lao Zhangtou and them into the courtyard. Lao Zhangtou didn't find anything, and he was still a juvenile killer who just happened to pass by the back door of this courtyard. But in retrospect, there are flaws everywhere.

When the janitor and his wife drove away, the curtain of the carriage was tightly sealed, was there anyone else in the car?

Old Zhang Tou regretted that he didn't secretly lift the curtain and take a look inside. However, since they failed to catch the current one, it is useless to regret it now, so they can only try to ask people to inquire where the carriage has passed along the way, where it has stopped, and then try to find out from these clues the direction in which the young killer and his accomplices may have fled—they can't hide in the Du family, right?

The old military division has already gone to the Zhenguo Mansion in person and reported the clues he found to Zhou Shiding, the old marshal of Zhenguo Gong Zhou. If they wanted to investigate the personal soldiers under the command of the Chang'an avant-garde commander, they had to get the support of the old Marshal Zhou first.

As for what Marshal Zhou will do next, Haijiao doesn't know for the time being. After the old military division entered the Zhenguo Mansion, he stayed in the mansion directly, and no follow-up news was transmitted.

And tomorrow, Haijiao will accompany his grandparents to the third room of the Zhou family, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the letter from the old military master in the first time.

In addition, the prefect's yamen has also made new progress in investigating the seven killers who were caught.

The one who did not die is said to have been heavily protected, and he is not a confidant of the prefect, so he cannot know where he is being held, and even the doctor who is responsible for treating his injuries must temporarily live in the palace and not have contact with outsiders. It is reported that he is now scared and angry, but he still refuses to reveal where his group came from and who instructed him to come to Chang'an to commit murder. However, Huang Zhifu seems to feel that he will not last long, and he will speak soon.

As for the six people who died, there were also old catchers who recognized one of them, who was a fugitive who had committed crimes in Chang'an, and who had seven or eight lives in his hands, and was very cruel. The Chang'an Mansion Ya went out to the sea to catch documents very early, and someone once reported that he had met him in the capital, but the Chang'an Mansion Yaxing Jingzhao Mansion never got a reply.

When the former prefect of Chang'an went to Beijing one year to report on his work, he met a classmate and friend who worked in Jingzhao Mansion, and asked about it, and the other party whispered to him that this person had defected to the powerful and became a dead soldier under the nobleman, and told him not to ask anymore, but to treat this person as dead. After that, the fugitive documents of the Chang'an Mansion recorded this person as "deceased" and no longer distributed sea fishing documents. If it weren't for the fact that the head of the hunter who had participated in the search for this person was still in office, it is estimated that no one would have recognized his body.

There is also a messenger who followed the former prefect into Beijing to report on his work, saying that the prefect's classmates who served in Jingzhao Mansion at that time revealed that the powerful people who defected to this fugitive had a mother in the family, and there was a prince, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and no one in the world dared to provoke.

After that debriefing, the former prefect returned to Chang'an to serve as the prefect for three years, before he was promoted, and now the prefect Huang took over, and the prefect Huang has been in Chang'an for four years, and the six-year term will expire the year after that. Calculate the time, the former prefect entered Beijing to report on his work seven years ago, when the five princes of Sun Guifei had not yet died, but Liu Shufei's mother and son had completely disappeared, and the Liu family did not have an elder. Who else is in line with the description of the powerful person's background, except for the Sun family?

When the prefect's yamen found out here, it was determined that this group of killers might have something to do with Sun Gelao. But why did Sun Ge Lao be ruthless to the Jin family? Jinsen is just a small person, how did he offend him?

Although the Huang Governor's Mansion has always been an upright official, he couldn't help but hesitate when he found out the old man of the court. If the case is further investigated, what will be the result? He can't make up his mind for the time being, and he may have to write a letter to Beijing to discuss with someone.

When Haitang heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Haijiao's words: "Brother, these are all internal news from the Chang'an Mansion, right?" If you are not a confidant of the prefect, it is impossible to know. How do you know? The old military advisor told you? ”

Hai Jiao smiled slightly: "I'm afraid the old military master doesn't know about this yet." I have my own way. ”
