After Lu Deng learned that Zhang Dekai was the man in black he met at the Blood Knife Gate, he told what happened a few months ago, which can be regarded as uncovering the last part of the unexplained mystery, and Zhao Bufan was also secretly thinking about it in his heart on the way to the Happy Building.

"When I conquered Liangshan, the ghost of the Shura ghost came to conspire to destroy, secretly bought salt from the smuggler He Qianqian through the blood knife gate, and then pretended to be the palace guard squad and sent it directly to Yunzhou, I didn't want to be intercepted by Lu Zhishen, the mission failed, and the Shura ghost was also defeated by Lu Zhishen and stayed in Puyang to recuperate.

Cai Xue learned that the illicit salt was flowing out of Puyang, and he had the intention to find out the truth to ask Cai Jing or me for credit, and sent his cronies Zhang Dekai to investigate thoroughly.

Wanhualou is a force secretly cultivated by the great eunuch Yang Jian, they may want to kill Tong Guan, or they want to hold Tong Guan hostage, in short, they want to get the evidence of Tong Guan's crimes, so they are not allowed to open the report to Cai Xu, but they began to investigate secretly.

But Wanhualou didn't expect that Cai Xue secretly asked Lu Deng to intervene when he couldn't get results for a long time, and Lu Deng quickly found out the smuggler He Qianqian, and discovered the hidden identity of the brothel Guigong, but it was opened up and covered up.

After that, although Wanhualou and Lu Deng had different purposes, they were secretly investigating the ghost pawn and investigating the Blood Knife Gate, and unfortunately there was an excellent opportunity on the twenty-sixth day of the winter month, so Zhang Dekai and Lu Deng both took the opportunity to search in the Blood Knife Gate, and Lu Deng was lucky to find the box containing Tong Guan's evidence first, and bumped into Zhang Dekai, who was dressed in black and masked, although he didn't recognize anyone, he felt that the other party was very familiar.

Zhang Dekai was wearing a special night suit at the time, and he was wrapped all over his body, and it was not surprising that Lu Deng couldn't recognize it, but Lu Deng was simply dressed as a scumbag man, so Zhang Dekai could recognize him, and quickly thought that Lu Deng might be secretly investigating on the orders of Cai Xu.

At this time, Zhang Dekai realized that Lu Deng was very dangerous to him, because Zhang Dekai did it from Cai Xue, if he was recognized by Lu Deng, it would mean that his private investigation of ghosts would be revealed, and Lu Deng also knew that he had something to do with Wanhualou, and Wanhualou would soon be implicated. It should be at this time that Zhang Dekai was a little scared and decided to get rid of Lu Deng secretly, so that Lu Deng would never be able to identify him.

After that, Lu Deng returned to Puyang with the box, handed the box to Cai Xu, and told the results of the investigation, which was regarded as completing the task, but he didn't think that Cai Xue couldn't resist the temptation after reading the contents of the box, and decided to hide the box privately to use it to blackmail Tong Guan and make profits for himself. But Cai Xue may have trusted Zhang Dekai too much, or maybe he wanted Zhang Dekai, a henchman, to secretly contact the ghost pawn for him, so he leaked the box in his hands.

When Zhang Dekai knew that the box was in Cai Xue's hands, he quickly made a plan with the people of Wanhualou, and came up with a plan to kill Cai Xue, blame Lu Deng, and snatch the box. That night, Lu Deng took his wife back to his parents' house, and there were many people who knew about it, and if he paid attention, he would definitely be able to find out, so he went to steal Lu Deng's things that night.

According to what Lu Deng said, he never told anyone about not bringing a treasure knife, so Zhang Dekai should not know that he didn't take the knife, so he may have just wanted to steal shoes or clothes at first, in short, no matter what he thought of at first, it must be something special that can prove Lu Deng's identity.

In the next few days, Zhang Dekai and the people of Wanhualou should have been waiting for the opportunity, and the ghost pawn also found that the box was taken away during this period, and the Shura ghost also took his cronies to slaughter the bloody knife door all over the door during this period. Then maybe Cai Xue also contacted the people of the Blood Knife Gate during this period, and it is even possible that the Blood Knife Gate found out that the box was stolen because of the threat received from him.

On the third day of the lunar month, Cai Xue may feel that the overall situation has been decided, and he is unwilling to keep Lu Deng, who knows that he knows that the box is in his hands, and he is afraid that Lu Deng will shake things out, so he writes a blank piece of paper as a letter, coaxes Lu Deng to send it to the Blood Knife Gate, and kills Lu Deng with the help of the Blood Knife Gate. Fortunately, Lu Deng's life was great, and the Blood Knife Gate had been slaughtered by the Shura Ghost at this time, and he successfully escaped.

However, Cai Xue didn't expect that the mantis cicada catcher yellow finch was behind, as Cai Xue's henchman, Zhang Dekai not only knew that the box was in Cai Xue's hands, but also knew that Cai Xue asked Lu Deng to go to the Blood Knife Gate to die that night, and even knew that the Blood Knife Gate had been slaughtered.

The murderer who directly caused the tragedy was obviously not Zhang Dekai, he didn't have such martial arts, and according to what Lu Deng said just now, it can be assumed that it was the turtle man of the brothel, or it could be some other Wanhualou master, but judging from various signs, they miscalculated and killed Cai Xue but failed to find the box.

There are many possibilities for this, maybe Cai Xue temporarily transferred the box, or maybe he entrusted someone else to keep it, in short, it is outside the scope of Zhang Dekai's knowledge, it can be speculated that Cai Xue did not have absolute trust in Zhang Dekai, and secretly kept a hand.

This whole thing has become bizarre and complicated under the stirring of Cai Xu, Wanhualou, Lu Deng, and the ghost pawn, as for the destruction of the Blood Knife Gate and He Qianqian, it should be that the Shura ghost deliberately cut off everything after realizing the complexity of the matter, and originally wanted to murder me by the way, but it didn't succeed.

And I released the news that the case was about to be solved yesterday afternoon, revealing that Lu Deng might recall the man in black he met at the Blood Knife Gate, so no matter whether Zhang Dekai completely believed it or not, he was at least bottomless in his heart, so he came to a place very close to the Puyang dungeon, but before he could take action against Lu Deng, he was directly killed by his accomplices!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Bufan's pace is getting faster and faster, and the mystery has been solved, so the Gui Gong of Happy House is the biggest suspect in the tragedy of Cai Xue's outer house, and even the suspect who killed Zhang Dekai.

It's a pity that Zhao Bufan now wants to hide his martial arts from the outside world, and it is not good to use light skills to hurry, so he can only let Li Ruopu and Xue Renfu take the masters of Dali Temple to go first, and he takes a small number of officials of Kaide Mansion to the back.

Soon, Zheyuezhi, Hu Sanniang, Yang Yizhong and Shang Kunyang also hurriedly came over.

Zhi Yuezhi kept complaining, blaming Zhao Bufan for leaving the post house and not telling her.

Zhao Bufan didn't have the heart to explain more, and instead asked Zhi Yuezhi and Yang Yizhong to rush to the Happy Building first, because he was a little worried about the martial arts of that turtle prince, and he was afraid that Xue Renfu would not be able to catch this person.

It's a pity that when he arrived at the door of the Happy Building, there was no fight at the scene, and Zhi Yuezhi and Yang Yizhong were also waiting outside the door with nothing to do.

Zhao Bufan had a bad premonition, and while walking into the Happy Building, he asked Zhiyuezhi who came up.

"What's going on? Where's the person? Didn't catch it?"

Zhi Yuezhi pouted towards the Happy Building, and said sullenly: "That turtle has already run away, Xue Renfu and Li Ruopu have been searching for a long time and have not gained anything, and they are now interrogating the old bustards and girls in the Happy Building, and it is estimated that the trial is almost over!"

"Eh!" Zhao Bufan sighed heavily and walked into the lobby with some annoyance.

Seeing him coming, Xue Renfu quickly waved away the old bustard and the girl in the brothel, and led him to a table and sat down.

"My lord, the turtle man went out last night and never came back, his room was also cleaned up, I'm afraid he ran away before this morning, his subordinates just interrogated the old bustard and the girl in the brothel, and only learned that this turtle was introduced by Zhang Dekai, no one knows the specific origin, there was no name originally, it was Zhang Dekai who quietly gave him a name in the government, and the name should also be fake, the old bustard of the brothel was looking at Zhang Dekai's face, so he took him in.

In addition, one more thing has been confirmed, that is, in the five days after the tragedy of Cai Xu, this turtle man also disappeared, which happened to be the same day as Lu Deng's chasing the man in black, judging from various clues, he should be the murderer who directly caused the tragedy of Cai Xue's outer house!"

Zhao Bufan slapped the table heavily: "Carrying a major suspicion but fleeing with his life, colluding with the chief arrester to open a false settlement, plotting against him, identified as the first suspect in the tragedy of Cai Xue's outer house, let the painter immediately come to paint the portrait of this turtle prince, report it to all states and prefectures, and offer a reward for wanted, whether it is a good citizen or a good man, if you provide effective clues, you will be rewarded with a thousand yuan! Provide major clues, reward two thousand yuan! Directly arrest and reward 10,000 yuan!" This person's attack force is three grades high, and five grades are low, and those who do not have the strength should not try to be arrested!"

Xue Renfu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately glanced at the Dali Temple messenger behind him, and one of them quickly ran out.

Zhao Bufan then continued: "What about the guards guarding the city gate and the city wall?

"I've sent someone to ask, but I'm afraid it won't gain anything, the other party is well prepared, and he must have thought of a way to get out!"

As he spoke, Xue Renfu's voice changed, and he hesitated: "My lord, the suspect has been basically confirmed in this case, and only the matters of arrest, evidence collection and review remain, and the continued investigation is to track down Wanhualou and the ghost pawn, we don't have the permission of Lord Li Xiaocheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to track it outside for a long time!"

Zhao Bufan understood what they meant, the case was found here, and it was difficult to have a result for a while, and Xue Renfu and Li Ruopu were from Dali Temple after all, without the consent of Li Xiaocheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, they couldn't track it for a long time, and more importantly, they didn't want to investigate it in their hearts.

After a quick weighing, Zhao Bufan replied understandingly: "The facts of the case are clear, Lu Deng has also cleared up his grievances, and the other victims are all dog-eat-dog, no one is innocent, and the implication is extensive, it is understandable that you don't want to investigate! Okay, you arrange your own trip back to Dali Temple to resume your life, and I have my own expression in the Holy Lord!"

Xue Renfu and Li Ruopu glanced at each other and saluted together: "Thank you for your understanding!"

Nodding with a smile, Zhao Bufan didn't say much, got up and left.

Until the moment when he was about to walk out of the Happy Building, he suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them.

"I don't dwell on this case for the time being, it doesn't mean that I give up this case, I will continue to track down the ghost pawn, although the box is missing, and the chance of finding it is already very small, but I have more clues about the ghost pawn, don't force the ghost pawn to a dead end, don't force the person behind the ghost pawn to a dead end, I vow not to give up, if there is a place where you need help in the future, are you willing to help?"

The two were stunned!

After a few moments, they smiled and bowed.

"If adults dare to take the lead, we will dare to follow the death force!"

"Okay, I remember what you said, and you remember it for me, if you are in danger, you can find me!"

With the words, Zhao Bufan had already strode out of the Happy Building, and Xue Renfu looked at his distant back, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. "Ruopu, I feel that as long as Lord Zhao is here, the sky of the Great Song Dynasty will never fall!"

Li Ruopu clenched his fists lightly: "So even if our strength is meager, we must do our best to support Lord Zhao in the future!"

"Don't worry! Lord Zhao can not only fight well, care about the world, but also understand the strategy of power and strategy, treat people sincerely, not only you and me, there will be more and more people willing to support him in the future, he will definitely be able to prosper the Great Song Dynasty!"

............

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Bufan politely refused the warm offer of the officials of Kaide Prefecture and set off to return to Beijing.

Xue Renfu and Li Ruopu and other people from Dali Temple did not go with him, because they still need to stay to deal with the aftermath, although the Puyang case has not been solved, but the escaped Guigong has been designated as an important suspect in the Cai Xue tragedy, naturally to be arrested nationwide, and the local government and Dali Temple also need to hand over case records and files, so they have to deal with these things before leaving.

However, there is an extra group of people in Zhao Bufan's team to return to Beijing!

That's Lu Deng and his family.

At present, although Lu Deng's death crime is exempted, the living crime is inescapable, the case of Cai Yu's murder shook the government and the opposition, how terrible it is for a prefect to be assassinated, in a sense, the assassination is far more serious than being attacked and killed by anti-thieves, because this kind of means will put everyone in danger in the court and the central ministers, shake the foundation of the court, how can Emperor Zhao Ji not be angry, it is impossible to end it like this.

Lu Deng, as the governor of Kaide Mansion, belongs to the box soldiers, and it is his duty to maintain local stability, but now even the prefect has been killed, and the crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped.

A few days later, Zhao Bufan successfully arrived outside Tokyo, and the accompanying guards battalion soldiers also completed their mission, and returned to the north under the leadership of Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, only Hu Sanniang stayed with seventy-two female soldiers of the Feifeng Battalion, they were all carefully selected good hands in the Feifeng Battalion, and they would accompany Zhao Bufan to stay in the capital in the future, and at the same time act as a maid in Zhao's mansion.

The Feifeng Battalion was originally included in the establishment in the name of the pro-guards, and now that Zhao Bufan has returned to Beijing to take up his post, the status of this team is very embarrassing, and Lu Junyi is very distrustful of women now after experiencing the change of his wife, Zhao Bufan is okay when he is there, he is gone, Lu Junyi will naturally not give a good face, and it is easy to cause contradictions over time, so Zhao Bufan decided to place the Feifeng Battalion back to Juxianzhuang before leaving, and Zhang Jiaotou is responsible for cultivating and training this special team.

As for the seventy-two female soldiers who accompanied them to the south, Zhao Bufan named them Feifengwei, which was to give priority to the selection of people with high loyalty and good martial arts under the premise of voluntariness.

At the beginning, Zhao Bufan was deeply impressed by the situation of traitors in Zhu Bocai's family, it was difficult to ensure loyalty by hiring maids and servants abroad, and there were too many things he had to do at the moment that could not be disclosed, so he planned to return to the capital, and immediately dismiss the original servants and maids of the Zhao Mansion and replace them with Feifengwei, and let Zhu Lian continue to strengthen their martial arts and train them to become masters above the level.

In this way, not only can loyalty be guaranteed, but the entire Zhao Mansion also has a strong combat power, whoever dares to sneak in will have to let the other party have no return!
