Chapter 48: Assassination

"By the way, how are you sure that the murder of the four court officials is the same murderer?"

"Because every time an adult dies, the murderer always appears in the most conspicuous place that everyone can see, and when everyone sees her face, she flees. ”

“...... Since this murderer is so arrogant and provocative......" Qiu Yuanxue thought in her heart.

"This is basically the end of the investigation, please take me to see the room where Master Zhang was killed. ”

Under the leadership of the officials, a group of four people came to the scene where Master Zhang was killed, and as soon as the door was opened, a chair and a bundle of hemp rope were placed on the door of the room, and the bloodstained stone was still placed on the ground.

"What was it like on the night Lord Zhang was killed?"

At that time, the officers and soldiers guarding the door outside the door said that they found that something was wrong and wanted to go in, but the door was closed, and the sound disappeared after a while, and the door disappeared after a while, and they went in and found that Master Zhang was stoned to death, and the murderer stood on the roof, and after we all saw her, the murderer threw something that could emit smoke, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

Qiu Yuanxue looked at the chair and the rope and the stone on the ground, she raised her head and found the skylight cover above the ceiling, just the size for a thin person to get into, but she needed rope props, and at this time, her mind gradually restored the picture of Lord Zhang being killed......

I saw that Mr. Zhang was tied to a chair by the murderer, his mouth was covered by a rag, and the door was closed, and the murderer came to him with the stone, Mr. Zhang wanted to call for help but could not make a sound and could only hear: "Hmm", the murderer picked up the stone and smashed it against his face door again and again, until he lost his breath, and then dropped the stone and fled along the rope hanging from the skylight cover on the eaves......

Back in reality, Qiu Yuanxue still wandered around the room, carefully observing the details around her......

"Sister Muying, you see there is also a calligraphy and painting here. ”

Qiu Yuanxue walked over and took a look, the calligraphy and painting on the wall had big soil characters written on it, and behind the calligraphy and painting, there was also a dark grid, and there was also a compass in the dark grid, and this time the compass was missing the word Kun.

But then, He Jing noticed that there were blood stains on the ground extending to the bottom of the cabinet, so she bent down to look and found that there was a missing wooden block of a blood-stained compass underneath, and the word "Li" was engraved on it.

He Jing picked up the wooden block and showed it to Qiu Yuanxue: "Oh, Muying, what do you think I found?"

"This block of wood is...... Away, according to common sense, it belongs to fire, so it is said that Lord Zhang's birthday is related to fire. ”

Qiu Yuanxue said carefully analyzing.

After that, Qiu Yuanxue investigated the four killed officials one by one, and found that there were four compasses and a word was missing from each gossip compass, the one in Lord Li's room was missing, the compass of Lord Zhang was missing Kun, the room of Lord Chen was missing, and the gossip compass in Lord Zhao's room was missing the word Zhen.

Qiu Yuanxue thought about these four compasses...... At this time, the government personnel seemed to remember something, and suddenly shouted: "Ah! I remember, His Majesty the Third Prince is also interested in the Bagua Diagram and Qimen Dunjia!"

"What are you talking about!" Qiu Yuanxue said in shock after hearing this.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a pitch-black figure flashed quickly outside the door!

"Who!" Qiu Yuanxue saw that the situation was a little bad and immediately ran out of the door to take a look, but saw that on the eaves of the palace, a nimble woman in black ran on the eaves and ran towards the east area.

"Excuse me, where is His Majesty the Third Prince?" Qiu Yuanxue said to the government personnel.

"He lives in the courtyard to the east. ”

"What's wrong?, Sister Makuei?" Yege also ran out and asked.

"Do you need me to help you?" Xing Yuxiang also came out and asked.

"Oops...... The palace really doesn't stop......" He Jing walked out and shook his head helplessly and said.

"Night Song, Xing Yuxiang, He Jing, stay here, that little brother, quickly notify the others that there is an assassin invasion!"

"Huh?assassin?!"

"Hurry!"

After speaking, Qiu Yuanxue also picked up her pace and jumped onto the eaves with a brisk stride, and she ran after the figure of the mysterious woman.

I saw that the woman in front of me glanced back and found that someone was following, so she suddenly turned around and took out three silver needles from her pocket and threw them over.

"Whoosh!" Three silver needles quickly struck towards Qiu Yuanxue, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she immediately picked up the silver bronze sword and scattered the silver needles, making a "clanging" metal collision sound.

I saw the woman standing on the eaves, she combed her short hair, wore a mask on her head, and she took out two sharp daggers from her waist and took a steady step, as if she was testing the direction of Qiu Yuanxue's attack......

"You're not that person...... Who are you, and what is your purpose in infiltrating the palace?"

The woman didn't speak, but at this time she suddenly rushed over and slashed at Qiu Yuanxue is indiscriminate "Boom!"

After several consecutive knives, Qiu Yuanxue quickly dodged and defended against the dagger's attack, and at this moment, the woman suddenly sprinted forward, and when Qiu Yuanxue bent down to dodge, the wig on her head happened to be swept down by the woman's sharp blade, leaking silver white hair.

After that, Qiu Yuanxue swept the sword blade horizontally, only to see the woman jumping backwards to dodge, but accidentally the mask on her face was swept by Qiu Yuanxue's sword blade, and it was instantly cut in half and scattered on the ground, leaking her true face.

Qiu Yuanxue couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw this face, her eyes widened and she said, "Zero!

At this time, the woman did not answer, but continued to attack Qiu Yuanxue, she stabbed at Qiu Yuanxue with a dagger, Qiu Yuanxue dodged sideways and grabbed Qiu Yuanxue's arm with a dagger, she said to it: "Zero, what's wrong with you? Wake up and I'm my sister!"

"Sister...... Sister?...... Yes...... Head...... It hurts......" At this time, the woman said some words, and then suddenly her head felt the pain of distance in her heart, and she covered her head in pain.

"Zero!" Qiu Yuanxue slowly approached Qiu Yuanxue's side, and suddenly, a dagger slipped and slashed She ruthlessly scratched the back of Qiu Yuanxue's hand, blood dripped down the back of her hand, and Qiu Yuanxue cried out in pain: "Ah......"

"Zero you...... Wake up!"

"Don't say it......" Qiu Yuanling ignored her sister's words, and directly swept another dagger, Qiu Yuanxue took the opportunity to hide behind her, but the crescent-shaped pendant hanging from her waist was cut off by the dagger during the dodge.

After Qiu Yuanling saw the pendant, her head hurt even more, and she covered her head and shouted in pain: "Ahh...... It hurts......"

Then a vague fragment of memory poured into Qiu Yuanling's mind......

In her memory, a young man with long black hair bent down with a smile on her face, and two girls stood in front of her.

"Mother, when are you coming back?" said Qiu Yuanxue when she was a child.

"yes, mother......"

"Ah Xue, you have to be good when Ah Ling Niang is away, Ah Ling, your sister is sick, as sisters, you have to take care of each other. Qiu Yuan Muying said as he stroked the heads of the two children with his hand

"Mother, don't worry, even if it's wrapped around me. Qiu Yuanling said.

"Mother, I don't need my sister to take care of me, I can take care of myself. Qiu Yuanxue said.

"Okay, Ah Xue, you don't want to be reckless at this time, by the way, my mother has a gift for you, guess what?"

I saw Qiu Yuan Muying holding an object in each of his hands and stretched out his hand to let Qiu Yuanxue and Qiu Yuan Zero guess.

"It's definitely candy!" Qiu Yuanling guessed.

"Sister...... Don't keep thinking about eating......" Qiu Yuanxue left a drop of cold sweat on her forehead, and looked at Zero and said.

"Alas...... Not really. ”

Qiu Yuan Muying opened his hands, and inside were two pendants, one was a crescent moon pendant and the other was a sun pendant.

Qiu Yuanxue picked up the crescent moon pendant and looked at it and asked suspiciously: "Mother, why is mine the moon and my sister the sun?"

"Mother, is there any point in this pendant?"

"This, it's a talisman that my mother gave you, I hope you can be safe, remember that you have to wear it on your body at all times. ”

"Well, I got it. Qiu Yuanxue and Qiu Yuanling said in unison.

......

Back to reality, Qiu Yuanling's head hurt unbearably at this time, and she let out a heart-rending cry: "Ah............hh

"Zero, are you alright?" Qiu Yuanxue wanted to approach slowly, but at this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers under the eaves arrived with torches......

One of the officers and soldiers who took the lead saw the two men on the roof and pointed his finger and shouted, "There they are!"

At this time, the third prince, the eldest prince, the second prince and others were also attracted by the noise of the night and rushed over.

"What's going on?" the Third Prince asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, someone just said that they saw an assassin. ”

"Assassin! this is the Imperial Palace...... Who is so bold?" said the eldest prince angrily.

"Hehe, eldest brother, third brother, don't get excited, so many people are afraid that the assassin will not be able to escape. The second prince's eyes rolled as if he was thinking about something, and he said after hesitating.

At this moment, Qiu Yuanling, who saw that the situation was not good, suddenly threw down a Ecstasy Bullet and quickly fled the scene, and after the smoke cleared, Qiu Yuanxue was the only one left on the entire roof.

Qiu Yuanxue reluctantly walked down the eaves and appeared in front of everyone, at this time Ye Ge, Xing Yuxiang, and He Jing also came in time, and they were surprised to see Qiu Yuanxue without a wig.

"Curtain ...... It's not ......" Yege was a little at a loss for what to say, after all, it was impossible to hide it in front of so many people.

"What should I do, brother, it's a goof...... This time. Ye Ge helplessly leaned into Xing Yuxiang's ear and said.

"Oops...... It's a big trouble now......" He Jing shook his head helplessly and said.

"Who are you?" the eldest prince asked.

"Hmph, girl, you have a lot of skills! ”

The third prince stepped forward to take a look, and said angrily, "You...... You're not Makuei?"

Qiu Yuanxue bowed helplessly in front of everyone, and said frankly: "Back to Your Majesty the Prince, I am not Muying, my mother is a hero, I was framed, so I had no choice but to pretend to be Muying and enter the palace to investigate this matter and wash away my grievances." ”

"Panic, what grievances do you have when you don't say in the yamen and run to the palace, I see that you are clearly here to assassinate, come to someone, take it down!"

Just when the surrounding officers and soldiers were about to surround Qiu Yuanxue, suddenly a voice came from a distance: "Stop!!"

"The emperor has arrived!!"

I saw a large number of officers and soldiers arrive, and the emperor wearing a dragon robe walked out of the sedan chair he was carrying, and everyone present saw that the emperor was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Get up, Qiu Yuanxue pretended to be Qiu Yuan Muying with my permission, she was indeed framed by thieves. ”

"But the child doesn't know something, why don't you tell us about it?"

"yes, at least tell us about something ...... such an important matter."

"I said, this matter is not allowed to be leaked, since you all know about it, I'll talk to you......"

"Huh, what's going on?" Ye Ge and Xing Yuxiang, who were watching from the sidelines, were stunned.

"I don't know. Xing Yuxiang said suspiciously.

"Oh, that's the main thing......" He Jing said proudly.

At this time, another she whispered in He Jing's ear: "Oh, it turns out that you have been acting, I really admire you, it's a pity not to join the troupe." ”

“...... He Jing, do you have something to tell us......" Xing Yuxiang looked at He Jing with a disgusted expression and said.

"Well, listen to me slowly......" He Jing said with a smug expression......
