A year has passed since the attack on Dajun and Hanxiong's caravan, and although it was a sensation, it has gradually been forgotten. In this year, there were too many major events in the Ba Mu country, such as the succession of the new monarch and the death of Hou Li, and the recent young affairs led the people to Meng Yingqiu to ask for relatives, inspect the border defense of the city, and spread many deeds of Lord Peng Keng.

In the tragedy of last year, Bamuro has been pursuing clues, but then it has been done in private. This matter also involves the scandal of the royal family, so it is impossible for Lord Caifeng to send wind collectors to publicize it among the people in various places. When Hou Liao passed away, and Zhong Lan, Huiliang, Gu Liang and others also died in the Pengshan Forbidden Land, many people thought that it had come to an end and there would be no follow-up.

The most important parties are dead, and even if they want to track down the murderer, they have lost evidence and clues. Those behind the scenes and the participants in the murder must have secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shaowu and Huwa and others know very well that it was done by Zheng Muguo, and they can plan such a large-scale ambush by masters, and sneak into the territory of Bamuro to do it, and there is no rumor in advance, and there must be internal responses in the country. Needless to say, the self-righteous Zhonglan was kept in the dark and cooperated with the murderer, and Huiliang has been secretly using and manipulating Zhonglan to get rid of Shaowu, but Huiliang himself was also used and manipulated by Zheng Muroguo.

But even according to the confessions of Zhongran and Huiliang, it is impossible to determine who the real murderer is. What Shao Wu has to do is not only to investigate secretly, but more importantly, to be able to justifiably send troops to denounce Zheng Muroguo. With the evidence currently in hand, it is not enough to convince the public, even if he knows in his heart that it was Zheng Muguo who did it, he can't mention it on the surface.

According to the results of Huwa's original interrogation, there are still three important witnesses who have not been brought to justice. The first is Xiaoxi, the personal companion that Shaowu brought to Hongjin City, and he leaked Shaowu's whereabouts to several waves of people, so that the caravan was exposed. In fact, it is impossible to find out who the real murderer is when he catches Xiaoxi, but Shaowu must not forgive him, and has sent assassins to assassinate Xiaoxi, who has changed his name and surname, in the downtown area.

There is also a person named Banana Armor. He was the captain of Zhonglan's guard, and it was he who "helped" Zhonglan to find out the whereabouts of Shaowu's return to China, and it was he who volunteered to recruit dead soldiers from abroad to assassinate Shaowu, so Zhonglan gave him ten catties of gold to buy the assassins.

But when Zhonglan was taken, the banana armor was gone. Later, the Beidao clan secretly interrogated Huiliang in the Pengshan forbidden land, and Huiliang also confessed that the banana armor had already been bought by him. At the beginning, Banana Armor was able to approach Zhonglan and become the captain of his guard, which was also the result of Huiliang's secret facilitation.

The task of the Banana Armor is to monitor Zhong Lan's every move, and secretly do some illegal things for Zhong Lan to gain his absolute trust. The last thing Banana Armor did was to trick Zhonglan into recruiting murderers to assassinate Shaowu. This was also at the behest of Huiliang.

Of course, Banana Armor would not really invite the assassins, and someone would do it on the way back to China. This person was also very cautious, he took the ten catties of gold, and realized that the consequences of this matter were too strict, and he flew away with a lot of money. Even Huiliang didn't know where he had gone, and he should have long since been out of the territory of Bamuro Province.

Shaowu secretly sent many people to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the banana armor, but he has not found it until now. However, the third witness, which is also the most important one related to this case, was inadvertently found out by Shaowu.

According to Huiliang's confession, there was a monk named Baizhu at the beginning. After drinking, he privately sued Huiliang for one thing. On his way to Liangfeng Ding to meet with the fellow practitioners of the sects, he met two disciples of the Beast Mountain.

Baizhu overheard the private conversation between the two of them, and they were actually going to join up with their accomplices for a large sum of money to do a big business. Baizhu secretly stalked the two men. I saw their accomplices in the wilderness again, and they all seemed to be masters of good cultivation. Those people plotted to go to Shanchuan Castle to assassinate a caravan, and Gongzi Zhonglan arranged all of them.

This is the reason for Huiliang's self-proclaimed revelation of Zhonglan's conspiracy. According to Shaowu's investigation, there was indeed a monk who claimed to be Baizhu that day. Appeared at the gathering of the initiates of various sects invited by Huiliang. This person is indeed as Hui Liang said, he has cultivated in the Five Realms, and is very good at concealing his tracks and tracking in the mountains.

Although Shaowu was far away in Wufu Hill at the beginning. But it does not mean that the shape of the country has lost its influence and control. Huiliang can arrange a guard captain by Zhonglan's side, and Shao Wu can of course arrange someone to monitor Huiliang's movements. Among those who participated in the gathering of monks convened by Huiliang and had seen Baizhu with their own eyes, there were Shaowu's cronies.

Later, Shao Wu found out Xiaoxi's whereabouts, and of course he would not send only one assassin to assassinate him. Some of the dead were in charge of the operation, some provided all kinds of intelligence information and were responsible for receiving cover, and others were not directly involved in the operation, but were secretly watching the movements around them and confirming the results of the assassination. And this person who performs the task of secretly supervising and watching has just seen Baizhu.

He met a person in the capital of Zheng Muguo, and saw that his figure and back were very familiar, and then recalled that this person was the monk who claimed to be Baizhu at the beginning, so he secretly followed the investigation, and the results were surprising. This person's name is not Baizhu, but Bai Shuxin, born in Baiguo City, has been cultivated in the Five Realms and Five Realms, and has the status of a national worker of Zheng Muruguo.

Bai Shuxin's clan has been the fastest growing force in Baiguo City in the past ten years. His brother Bai Boyi is also a master of the Five Realms, and his cultivation is even higher than Bai Shuxin, and there are two such figures in a clan, and he has also gathered a group of loose cultivators around him, although it has not yet developed into a sect of inheritance in the strict sense, but it also has the rudiments of a cultivation sect. It is impossible for such a force to be ignored in the country.

Just two years ago, Bai Boyi was appointed as the city lord of Baiguo City by the lord Zheng Gu, and Zheng Muguo also used this force to strengthen his control over the northern border. Of course, Bai Boyi, as the lord of the city, often appeared and was well known to the people, but Bai Shuxin did not serve in the city, and most of the time he only practiced in the cave or traveled around the world. Even the local people in Baiguo City know very few people who know Bai Shuxin.

Bai Shuxin appeared in the capital of the Zheng family for some reason, and happened to be recognized by the secret agent sent by Shaowu - he was the Baizhu that Huiliang had seen. But Bai Shuxin is such a master, the secret agent sent by Shaowu does not have the ability to take it down, and he doesn't even dare to alarm him, so he can only inquire about his identity, and then hurriedly return to the Ba Muro State to report the secret.

During the period when Huwa was healing Hanxiong and later left for the Western Wilderness, Shaowu was not idle for a moment, in addition to dealing with busy state affairs, he also used the power of Ba Muroguo to conduct a large number of investigations in private, not only to track down the three people mentioned just now, but also to let go of any possible clues. For example, Shaowu is also focusing on tracking down whether there are any new monks with broken arms.

Hanxiong relied on the sword talisman given by the three elders of Shizun to break out of the encirclement, and used the sword talisman given by Huwa to repel the pursuers. Han Xiong's last sword talisman severely damaged a Four Realms monk, slashing his arm on the spot.

When Hanxiong was surrounded in the caravan, he did not see any of the Assassins, as the comers were all masked, and when he finally escaped, he had cut off one of his opponents' arms, but he had no time to care about the outcome of the battle.

Mr. Changling later rushed to Ready-made to investigate the various traces and clues left by the murderer. The Assassins cleaned the battlefield clean, leaving almost no evidence of value, and the caravan's supplies, including the corpses, were reduced to ashes. In the depths of the dense forest where Hanxiong had fought fiercely, Mr. Changling did not find any broken arms, and there were no traces of blood even on the surface of the dirt.

However, the Assassins' stay was limited, and it was impossible to erase all traces completely. Blood seeped into the deep soil where the assassin's severed arm had been wounded, and although the surface traces had been concealed, Mr. Elder's keen sense of the ground was still detected. He dug up all the dirt and ordered it to be packed and brought back to the capital.

More important than the dirt at the scene is, of course, the Assassin himself, the only clue that can directly trace the identity of the Assassin present. Shao Wu sent people to inquire around, especially Zheng Muguo's secret search, has there been a person who has lost his right arm recently? In each of the Zheng and Ba Mu kingdoms, one monk recently had his arm broken due to an accident.

But neither of them was in the right situation, one of them had a broken left arm, which could not have been at Zengawa Castle at the time, and the other monk had a broken right arm, but there were many bystanders present when he broke it. It seems likely that the real culprit has been seriously injured and died, or that he has gone into hiding and never seen again.

But when Shaowu left Meng Yingqiu to inspect the border city, he got the latest secret report. There is a general in the Zheng family who enjoys the fourth knighthood, who has been without roads for more than half a year, and returned to his hometown not long ago, but has lost his right arm. According to this person's self-proclaimed, when he was taking elixir in the wilderness, he accidentally encountered a powerful demon beast, and although he killed the demon beast, he was also injured and broke his arm.

The general was injured and returned to his hometown, and the monarch Zheng Gu remembered that he had served the country and took pity on his crippled body, and when he returned to his hometown, he was specially awarded the title of first-class knighthood and gave him the honor of five knights.

This kind of thing that happened far away in Zheng Muguo Middle School, in the era when the means of transportation and information dissemination were very primitive and backward, would not have attracted people's special attention, but it was still found out by Shaowu. So the most important thing now is to confirm whether this person is the assassin who had his arm cut off in the first place?

Hanxiong didn't see the man's face clearly, and he didn't catch him red-handed. But the attentive Shaowu remembered all the physical evidence that Mr. Changling had brought back from the murder scene, including the mud that had soaked with blood, and Shaowu also remembered another thing, Huwa had ordered someone to open all the sealed physical evidence on the way, and let Pan Gu investigate all of them to remember his breath.

If the man was an Assassin, Pan Gu could have recognized him if he had smelled the blood he had left behind and seen him again. (To be continued......)
