After checking for three or four days in a row, the Duwei Mansion and Jinyiwei didn't find any news, and just when everyone was at a loss, a small flag officer under Nangong Junzhe hurriedly came to report: "Commander Shi, Li Xiucai's family in the south of the city found a tragic case, Shi Qianhu felt that this might be related to the case of the widows, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he specially ordered me to report it." ”

"Where are the others now?"

"At the scene of the crime, the body has been transported back and placed in Yizhuang, and the body will be examined in detail. ”

"I know, you go down first, and tell Shi Cheng that he is not allowed to leave a single step before I arrive. ”

The little flag official retreated, Nangong Junzhe discussed it with Zhao Haiquan, and felt that he should still talk to Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie, after all, this case has a direct relationship with them. The two of them didn't delay much, and hurriedly came to the Duwei Mansion.

"Two, you have eyebrows, Li Xiucai's house in the south of the city was destroyed, and the people under him said that it is probably related to your affairs. ”

"Found a clue?" Xiao Lie was particularly depressed these days because he had no clues. Today, Nangong Junzhe's words were broken, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"The clues are still being found, the body has been sent to Yizhuang, and the work will be completed soon. ”

"Then let's go now, hurry up and go to his house to have a look, if the scene is destroyed again when it is late, nothing will be found." Xiao Lie was not polite, and walked out of the Duwei Mansion directly. Yin Xuesong and the others saw that he was anxious, so they didn't stay any longer, and followed him to Li Xiucai's house.

After arriving at Li Xiucai's house, Nangong Junzhe asked Shi Cheng to tell him about the situation at the scene and what he found.

Shi Cheng didn't dare to hide half a word: "The brother who patrolled at night found a thief, and in the process of pursuit, he found this place." When they came in, they found that Li Xiucai and his wife were all dead at home, and both of them were killed in one move, without the slightest trace of struggle and fighting. ”

"Does the thief have anything to do with this?" Yin Xuesong asked after looking at the blood stains on the bed.

"Back to the commander of Master Shi, the brothers interrogated overnight, and finally learned that this person was an ordinary thief, and he had nothing to do with this matter, and he was also chased and had no way to escape, so he hid here. Shi Cheng replied respectfully. "Also, we have also checked, this little thief can not do any kung fu except for light skills, and it is certain that he did not do this. ”

"Who would it be if he didn't do it?" Yin Xuesong walked back and forth in the room, raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Lie: "You let Zuo Tianming go to the Chenghuang Yamen, tell the Chenghuang Lord, escort out the broken souls of Li Xiucai and the old couple, and ask who killed them." ”

"The villain said hello to Zuo Zhenfu before dawn, and Zuo Zhenfu should be back soon. "This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Shi Cheng finished talking about this, Zuo Tianming came to Li Xiucai's house.

"Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Yin are also here. Zuo Tianming hurriedly gave a salute to a few people.

"How is it?, what news did you get from the Chenghuang Yamen?" Yin Xuesong asked.

Zuo Tianming opened his mouth, his face was embarrassed and he didn't say a word, Xiao Lie kicked his ass: "If you have a fart, let it go, I didn't see what we were in a hurry." ”

Zuo Tianming sighed: "I'll just say it, I went to the Chenghuang Yamen to ask the ghost who hooked the soul last night, and he said that he didn't hook the soul of Li Xiucai's family yesterday." I went to the city god to check again, and there was indeed no soul of Li Xiucai's family. I paid more attention to it, and begged Lord Chenghuang to ask him to ask all the souls he had hooked in the past few days, but unfortunately he didn't ask anything useful. ”

A few people walked around the room several times in frustration, and Yin Xuesong said to them: "I think let's go back first, send more people to expand the scope of search, and then send some people to monitor Akiyama Mingyu for me to see if he has any abnormal movements." After arranging everything, everyone returned to the Duwei Mansion, originally they wanted to go to Nangong Junzhe, but they thought that they would be able to complete the examination of the corpse after the next work, and it happened that the Duwei Mansion was on the edge of Yizhuang, so they could know the news faster, so Nangong Junzhe followed them to the Duwei Mansion.

"It's, people are dead, but the soul is gone. I was thinking that I could ask something, but this is back to square one, and Bai is happy. Xiao Lie was extremely frustrated: "I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't say it, so I'm worried to death." ”

"I think we should focus on our own people. Yin Xuesong dragged his chin and said weakly: "If you kill someone, you can even take away your soul, which means that they have studied it in advance, and those who can do this kind of thing must be cultivators, otherwise they can't do this." ”

Nangong Junzhe seemed to have thought of something, looked at the two of them with a serious face, and thought again: "Our own people shouldn't be, they all have disciples in our two departments, even if they have bad intentions, they won't joke with the lives of their disciples." ”

"How could it not, have you forgotten ......" Xiao Lie's eyes suddenly flashed with light: "No, the thirteen factions of the thirteen cities, one faction has been destroyed, and the spirit mound is in a neutral state, but there are still three sects that have not placed people in our two places." ”

"Xiaoyaozhuang, Drunken Dragon Temple, Mingjue Zen Temple!" everyone was reminded by Xiao Lie and understood what Xiao Lie meant. "Xiao Lie, are you saying that one of the three sects did it?" Yin Xuesong asked.

"It's not one of them, I'm afraid the three of them did it together. ”

"Then what is their purpose? I have never heard that the three of them have any dealings with the Dongying Wokos, although they are not very upright, but they should not collude with the Wakos. Yin Xuesong didn't know what he meant, and asked casually.

"Senior Brother Yin, do you remember what you told me before?"

"What did I say?"

"You told me after I killed those two Dongying people. ”

"At that time, I was so angry that I really don't remember what I said. ”

"You told me that countries are different from country to country, and the law is not compatible with each other, and no matter how small the matter of the two countries is, it is still a major matter. ”

"It seems that he said such a sentence, is there anything wrong?" Yin Xuesong still didn't understand what Xiao Lie meant, and the other people present didn't know what Xiao Lie was going to say.

"I'm in a hurry, I think it's very likely that the three of them did it together. Didn't they keep trying to pull us down and then they would take our place?"

"Ah, I know this, not only I know, but everyone here knows it very clearly. ”

"After a while, isn't Lord Liu going to come to inspect? As soon as Xiao Lie said this, everyone in the room came to their senses. Yin Xuesong continued Xiao Lie's words just now and said, "What you mean is that they want to use this Dongying Wokou incident to impeach us in front of Lord Liu to achieve their goal. ”

"Oh my God, you've figured it out. That's what I mean, we should withdraw all the people who are searching now, find a few brothers with good skills, go to the three of them to investigate, closely monitor them, and once we find anything suspicious, immediately use the contact butterfly to tell us, so that we will not be so passive. Xiao Lie saw that everyone understood his thoughts, so he said his plan.

"Just do as you say, two elder brothers, please withdraw all the brothers under your command, and I will let the people of the Duwei Mansion go to explore these three sects. Yin Xuesong said to Nangong Junzhe and Zhao Haiquan.

Nangong Junzhe shook his head: "No, now I can only withdraw the people from the Duwei Mansion first, if I withdraw all the people at once, I am afraid that the Dongying Wokou will take the opportunity to find fault, now there are officers and soldiers outside, and they don't dare to make any big moves." ”

Yin Xuesong nodded: "What Brother Nangong said is reasonable, now we can do less than one thing, after dealing with the murder case of Li Xiucai's family, we are having a good time with Dongying Wokou." Yin Xuesong took a flag from the table and threw it to Zuo Tianming: "This matter will be handed over to the Zhenfu Division to do, Tianming, you have to choose the candidates to investigate, you must have a good brain, a lot of eyes, and the most important thing is that you have a super ability to adapt to changes." If there really is a case, you will not lose your life. Before that, you go and take down the brothers on the street, and the movement should be small, and you will move down little by little. ”

Zuo Tianming took the order flag, puffed up his chest and assured Yin Xuesong: "Senior Brother Yin, don't worry, if you can't handle this little thing, I will be around you in vain." I'll leave this to our Pacification Division, and you'll just wait and see. Zuo Tianming returned to the headquarters, withdrew the staff again, and arranged the candidates to be supervised.

Nangong Junzhe and Zhao Haiquan also returned to the yamen of Jinyiwei, and sent a few more people to the residence of Qiushan Mingyou, staring at the movements of these widows, not daring to be sloppy.

On the official road, a group of people slowly walked towards Hecheng.

"Lord Liu, why don't I understand what Lord Banzai means, just set up a town in Kanto Province to guard Liaoduwei, why do you want to add a personal guard force like Jinyiwei?

Lord Liu smiled: "This is where we live the Lord Shengming, just one Zhenliao Duwei is already the emperor of the soil there, without the supervision of the East and West Factories, in case they defect, wouldn't they catch us off guard! Jinyiwei is just an insurance pawn placed by the Lord of Long Live Lord, once something happens to Zhenliao Duwei, the pro-guard army is still the most reliable, and Nangong Junzhe is an official of the previous dynasty, he should also understand this meaning." ”

"What if the two of them collude?"

"That's not going to happen, I'm here this time just to keep this insurance chess piece firmly in our own hands, so that he won't have any problems at that time. ”

The chaplain seemed to understand and agreed: "Oh~ This is the so-called Jianghu affairs, and it is difficult to escape the national system." ”

"Teachable!"
