Chapter 62

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the palace of the Dayin Dynasty has been very strange, on the surface it is calm, but secretly a thorough investigation has begun. The assassination of the emperor was such a big deal. The whereabouts of everyone in the palace in the recent period have been secretly collected by the palace guards using various means that do not see the light. Soon a large box full of case files was carried to the table of Liu Cheng, the head of the Inner Guard Mansion, Liu Cheng saw that there were so many case files that needed to be checked, and he frowned helplessly, the emperor was assassinated, and he was the first person responsible, so it is now imperative to quickly investigate the case and avoid the recurrence of the assassination. When Liu Cheng was about to pick up the case file in the box to check, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he remembered a person, the last time the county lord's mansion came to investigate the case, wherever he went, the book was taken with him, and he always held the book in his hand to read it when he was free. Wouldn't it be better if so many files were made for the horses to state and come to help, first, the case investigated by the two is very related. Second, Liu Cheng can feel that he is very fond of studying things in words.

Liu Cheng still put the file in his hand in the box, covered the box, and ordered,

"Go to the mansion of the county lord of Wan'er and pass on the statement to come over with the master of the horse, I have something important to discuss. ”

After a while, the figure of Shu Tong appeared in front of Liu Cheng.

"I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Liu to ask me to come, is there a bit of an eyebrow in the case?"

"This time, I asked Chen Xianggong to come because I had something to ask for. This box contains the whereabouts records of the palace people I just collected today in the last few days, because there are too many, I want to ask Chen Xianggong to help me deal with it. ”

"Well, yes, I'm a little slow to check it myself, can you let my wife come along?" asked the statement, rubbing his head.

"Of course you can, but you can't ask for it. Liu Cheng was very happy when he heard that Shutong had agreed to his request, and hurriedly agreed to Shutong's request. After a while, Tang Wan'er also came to the Inner Guard Mansion. All three of them looked at the file in silence. In this way, about three hours passed, and the case file in the box had been read by the three of them, and they still had no clue, and the night was already very late, just when Liu Cheng planned to let the two go back to rest and come back to investigate tomorrow. Statement Tong stood up sharply.

"There is something wrong with this palace maid named Xiao'e in Yuqing Palace. ”

The three of them hurriedly took the file in their hands and examined it carefully.

"There's no problem, it's just that she recently followed the comprador cherry in the palace to the front of the palace to choose a Su Jin according to Concubine Li's instructions, and someone followed her throughout the whole process. There can be no doubts. ”

"There is a problem with the place where she went, the Red Embroidery Workshop is the base camp of the Assassins, and all of us are now keeping an eye on the Red Embroidery Workshop, this palace maid actually went to the Red Embroidery Workshop the day before His Majesty's assassination. Even if someone watched the whole thing, couldn't she use a stealthy method to deliver the message?"

Liu Cheng, the head of the internal guard, listened to the statement and thought about it quietly. He jerked to his feet and screamed

"No, don't let the assassins kill you, I'm going to protect her right away. Come, come with me and fetch someone. ”

Liu Cheng hurried towards the direction of Yuqing Palace, he wanted to take down this Xiao'e before the enemy killed people, otherwise the clue would be broken.

Shu Tong just wanted to stand up and go to help, Tang Wan'er grabbed his sleeve, and then handed over a case,

"Actually, I have long found out that the cat in the case file is tired, this manager Liu is not careful enough, I am afraid that he will leak the news, I didn't say it just now, since he is gone now. Xiang Gong looks at the records recorded in this case, and I believe that with your wisdom, you should be able to see the problem. ”

The county lord Tang Wan'er looked at the statement and said quietly and calmly

The statement took the file handed over by his wife Tang Wan'er, and saw that the file was actually recorded by Concubine Li. The above records are very detailed, including what time Li Guifei got up every day for the past seven days, what time she ate, and what time she went to the toilet, all of which were recorded in the book, regardless of size. One of them caught the attention of Shu Tong, Concubine Li would go to the back garden of Qingning Palace every day at noon. In fact, there is nothing doubtful about this record, but one thing worth noting is that Concubine Li, who has never been to Qingning Palace before, has been going every day for the last four days, and now that the emperor has been assassinated, she is still in the mood to go to Qingning Palace to enjoy the flowers, and the most important point is that Qingning Palace is a cold palace, and there were many concubines who fell out of favor in it. Because it is a cold palace, no one cares about it. It is also because Tang Wan'er is related to a concubine in Qingning Palace, so the two know so much about this Qingning Palace. And since two years ago, there have been rumors of haunting in Qingning Palace. Why did this rightfully favored concubine go back to the cold palace to enjoy the flowers? Why did she still go to enjoy the flowers every noon now that His Majesty the Emperor had been assassinated? Wasn't she afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would be angry? And the actions of Xiao'e, the palace maid in her palace, all the answers seemed to have been floating on the surface. But in his heart, he always felt that all this was too superficial and too simple. Is it really the same as the analysis of the husband and wife?

"Now that Mr. Liu has just passed, it is estimated that Xiao'e has been killed" Tang Wan'er looked at her husband who was thinking about things, and whispered to herself.

"It's probably not as simple as we think, and I always feel that there is a bigger conspiracy behind these assassinations," he said.

"Perhaps, Manager Liu should come back disappointed in a while. Tang Wan'er took the case file handed over by the statement and carefully put it into her pocket.

After a while, Liu Cheng came back dejectedly, and when he saw that the same couple was still reading the case file, he hurriedly complained,

"These cunning assassins, hmph, I'm going to catch them. I was still a step late, and by the time I arrived with my brothers, Miss Xiao'e had already died in her boudoir. The door to her boudoir was locked from the inside, and there was no sign of it being opened by humans, but how did she get killed by the Assassin? ”

Liu Cheng complained while picking up the teacup on the table and taking a big sip of tea.

"If you were out and I secretly put poison in your cup, now you're dead. He said.

"Yes, Chen Xianggong is right, why didn't I think of it. I knew I was going to look in that direction. Liu Cheng immediately went out to investigate the case in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will not sleep tonight.

Liu Cheng left, and after a while, Shu Tong and Tang Wan'er cleaned up and went back to their mansion to rest.

Chapter 61

Ouyang Yun'er has been coming to Qianyuan Academy for a while, Zheng Wenbin has been teaching Ouyang Yun'er the basic knowledge of rune master while investigating the case, Ouyang Yun'er has studied very hard, and every day in addition to the library is the canteen. On this day, Zheng Wenbin was teaching Ouyang Yun'er how to draw runes in the fireball technique. Liu Donglai, the eldest disciple of the dean of the academy, led a little girl in,

"This girl's name is Meng Feidie, and she will study in your Academy of Liberal Arts in the future. ”

The little girl behind Liu Donglai hurriedly saluted Zheng Wenbin and the others, and her soft and weak appearance was very cute.

"My name is Meng Feidie, just call me Fluttershy in the future. ”

"The people have already been brought, if there is nothing to do, then I'm leaving, I'm still busy in front of me. After Liu Dong finished speaking, he raised his leg and left, not even giving Zheng Wenbin a chance to ask him carefully.

"Well, have you ever studied martial arts before? Have you ever drawn?

Fluttershy smiles, revealing a pair of beautiful dimples. She glanced up at the two people in front of her, and mainly observed her teacher,

"I have studied Danqing with my husband since I was a child, and I can still do it with literacy and hyphenation. Wu Gong also learned some fur from the martial arts master at home. ”

"Very well, Fluttershy, now that I'm explaining how to draw runes in the Fireball Technique, you can learn it too. ”

"Okay, teacher, I will study hard. ”

The two female students sat down in a regular manner and listened to Teacher Zheng Wenbin's meticulous analysis of each stroke of the runes on the blackboard.

Time passed unconsciously, class was over, Zheng Wenbin still had something to do in the afternoon, so he hurriedly assigned homework to the two and left in a hurry.

Ouyang Yun'er carefully packed her things, and she put them into her backpack one by one.

"Hello senior sister, are you okay in the afternoon, why don't we two go shopping. ”

Fluttershy asked as she looked at Ouyang Yun'er with a smile.

"I'm sorry, little junior sister, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I don't have time to accompany you, so you can go shopping by yourself." Ouyang Yun'er didn't even look at Fluttershy, packed up her things, and left in a hurry.

When both of them are gone, a weird smile appears on Fluttershy's smiling face, and the face of a young man slowly appears on Fluttershy's face, and the young man mutters to himself,

"Little girl, your vigilance is quite high, you will fall into my hands sooner or later. ”

It turns out that Fluttershy and the eccentric who disappeared from the desolate courtyard are the same person.

"Senior brother, who is that Meng Feidie?" Zheng Wenbin asked the middle-aged Confucian student across the table.

"Do you mean the girl who entered our academy of liberal arts today?" The middle-aged Confucian took a sip of wine and looked up at Zheng Wenbin again.

"That girl has a great background, I heard that she was recommended by the most favored concubine Li Guifei now, and when the dean tested her qualifications, he found that this girl's affinity for Yuan Li was naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, so she is a good seedling of a rune master who is rare for a thousand years. This is also the reason why the dean made an exception to ask her to enter the Academy of Liberal Arts. ”

"She's from Concubine Li?"

Zheng Wenbin asked suspiciously.

"She was recommended by Concubine Li, so she should have a lot to do with her. ”

"Thank you, senior brother" Zheng Wenbin nodded, these messages were too useful for them to solve the case.

On the way back, Zheng Wenbin sat in the carriage and muttered to himself,

"What is the purpose of this Meng Feidie's entry into the Academy of Liberal Arts? Could it be that their gang has already discovered that we are probing them, so they deliberately sent someone to spy on us. Yes, I'd better go back and discuss it with Wenzhu and them, it's safer. “

The carriage galloped towards Tang Wan'er's county lord's mansion, and at this time, several people from Qianyuan Academy investigating the case were sitting in the study of the county lord's mansion, looking at the case file in front of them.

"A noble concubine can't be a murderer, right? Let's talk about a few palace maids, eunuchs, if she wants to kill, she will kill with a wave of her hand, why bother to pretend to be a ghost?" Jin Yide asked suspiciously.

"She didn't kill the person at all, it's just that the murderer has some friendship with her. So it seems that all the spearheads are pointed at Concubine Li, but in fact, the murderer is someone else. This is also the result of my analysis with Wan'er. Do you have any other thoughts? Just say it. “

Shutong looked at the few people opposite him and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, Zheng Wenbin strode in,

"If I say that Concubine Li is the mastermind, do you believe it?"

"Teacher, you're here. Why do you say that?" all stood up to greet Zheng Wenbin when they saw Zheng Wenbin's arrival.

"Because today Concubine Li sent a spy to our Academy of Liberal Arts. ”

Everyone present was shocked by Zheng Wenbin's words, and they were stunned.

"No, our academy is heavily protected, so it's impossible to get involved in spies. Jin Yide asked with some shock.

"This morning, Concubine Li introduced a little girl named Meng Feidie to study in our Academy of Liberal Arts, at this juncture, such a person came, she is not a spy, what is she?"

"It's really fake, is the dean dizzy? Can any cat or dog enter our academy to study?"

"It's easy to get, the little girl is not a cat or a dog, and the talent of the other people is top-notch in your group, why can't the dean be exceptionally included. ”

"I am telling you all this to cheer you up and not to talk nonsense. Now the enemy is secretly watching our every move all the time. ”

The guards in the palace of Dayin have been strengthened, and the soldiers on patrol have been on patrol every few minutes. On the roof of the imperial study, a white shadow flashed, and the white shadow floated into the imperial study, at this time it was already late at night, His Majesty the Emperor had already gone to bed, and only two little eunuchs on duty were napping in the imperial study. A white shadow flashed past the two of them and came to the inner room. At this time, there was only one white assassin in the inner room of the imperial study, he quickly came to the emperor's dragon chair, quickly rummaging for something, he rummaged very carefully, everything was handled with care, and at this time, the soldiers patrolling outside had passed three waves, and he was still quickly rummaging through this. Suddenly a jade wrench rolled out of a box, fell to the ground with a bang, the soldiers patrolling outside heard the sound, shouted and rushed into the imperial study, at this time the eunuch on duty at night was also awakened, they saw that the man in white was rummaging through the imperial study, and immediately shouted and rushed up, trying to catch the assassin, only to see that the man in white seemed to have no bones, fluttering past the two, came to the door, a white dot from the arrow tower in the distance quickly rushed over, the white dot blink of an eye to the eyes, this is a specially tempered steel arrow, in the tail of the arrow is a white feather, the front end of the arrow is a three-thorn hook。 If the arrow is shot into the flesh, if this hook wants to be pulled out, it will definitely break the blood vessels. When the man in white saw the arrival of the arrow, he only had time to hurriedly turn his body to the left, but the arrow still successfully hit his arm, and the blood flowed immediately. It must have ejaculated on an artery. The man in white saw that there were more and more soldiers at the door, if he couldn't get out, he would definitely be killed here, he hurriedly took out a handful of black beans from his underwear pocket and threw them into the sky, and suddenly the white smoke filled the air, and when many patrol soldiers were looking into the house, the man in white had disappeared. At this time, a red-faced general in the arrow tower in the distance, didn't care about holding a weapon, jumped off the arrow tower and quickly ran towards the Imperial Library, he had already seen it, just now the man in white threw out ***, quickly put on the soldier's clothes and successfully blended into the whole process of patrolling the soldiers.

At this time, the white assassin was still among the soldiers, and knew who he was, if everyone was allowed to leave the courtyard, the white assassin would really not be found, but he was still too slow, and all the soldiers left the imperial study to patrol somewhere else.
