After settling down, Yan Long was going to report to the Criminal Department. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This time, he went alone.

The Ming Dynasty's criminal department is located within the noon gate of the Forbidden City, near the Cultural Palace.

Yan Long came to the Forbidden City with the seal letter of the Criminal Department, and after the report, a person from the Criminal Department came out of the Sixth Grade Director, took him, passed the Daming Gate, the Chengtian Gate, the Noon Gate, and then the Huiji Gate, and went straight to the official office of the Six Ministries.

Along the way, it was like walking into the vast heavenly palace, with large and small doorways and tall and low red walls everywhere, and everywhere stood the heavily guarded imperial city forbidden army.

After walking a long way, I came to a government office of the Criminal Department and met Li Ruoqi, the right-hand man of the Criminal Department.

Li Ruoqi's face was thin and his beard was gray, but his eyes were resolute and focused, and after seeing Yan Long, he smiled and said: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, you have worked hard all the way, have you just arrived in the capital?"

Yan Long bowed down and said, "Yan Long, the grass people, see Master Li Zhilang Li, I have indeed just arrived in the capital, and I have been summoned to report to the Criminal Department!"

Li Ruoqi smiled and said: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, although the invitation to enter Beijing this time is an official letter sent by our Criminal Department, the investigation of the Phantom Demon Palace case is not presided over by the Criminal Department, but by Lord Liu Qiao, Jinyi Wei. ”

Yan Long listened, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, Jinyiwei and our Shanhaitang have always intersected in Yongping Mansion, why didn't Jinyiwei come to us directly?"

Li Ruoqi brushed her beard and said, "This ...... The official doesn't know. The matter of Jinyiwei is inconvenient for the official to ask. But this time the assassination of Zhu Lingyun, the son of King Yu, involves the face of the royal family, and it is related to the system of the imperial court. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Li Ruoqi said with a smile: "Naturally, I will discuss the matter of solving the case with various government offices. ”

Yan Long listened to it and smiled, he understood that Li Ruoqi must have a lot of things to hide from him, and it was inconvenient to tell him clearly now, so he didn't ask again.

Before leaving, Li Ruoqi gave him a waist card, with which he could enter the imperial city and pass to the office of the Criminal Department.

Li Ruoqi also told Yan Longdao: "Tomorrow, the Jinyi Guard will hold the first meeting of this special investigation in Fusi, Beizhen, and remember to go to the meeting on time." ”

"I'm familiar with that place, I'll be there on time. Yan Long said to Li Ruoqi with a smile.

After coming out of the Criminal Department, Yan Long did not immediately return to the inn, but went to find someone.

When the head of the auxiliary leaf to the high!

Just now he asked Li Ruoqi if Ye Shoufu was in the cabinet duty room, and he wanted to visit him as Yan Xue'an's son.

Li Ruoqi told him that Master Ye had been in bad health for the past two days and was recuperating at home.

So Yan Long decided to go to Ye Mansion to meet Ye Xianggao.

After he left the imperial city alone, he neither rode a horse nor sat in a sedan chair, so he walked slowly towards Yefu.

Yan Long knew that there were countless people watching him around him, and as soon as he came out of the Criminal Department, he noticed it, but he didn't stop going to Ye Mansion.

- It's just to visit the court members of my uncle as the son of the old man, I'm afraid of a fart!

The first time he visited, Yan Long didn't buy any gifts, not because he knew that Ye Xianggao had always been honest and self-disciplined and did not accept financial gifts, but because he knew that Ye Xianggao would not see him at all!

Since you know that you won't be received, why do you want to see Mao for the sake of Mao?

Because Yan Long wanted to go around in front of the Ye Mansion, he wanted everyone to know that Yan Long, the son of Yan Xue'an, the former spiritual leader of the Donglin Party and the former leader of the literary world, was back!

After handing over the post, Ye Xianggao really did not meet Yan Long, on the grounds that he was sick in bed and it was inconvenient to see him.

Yan Long left immediately, his purpose had been achieved. Besides, he didn't want to really face Ye Xianggao yet.

Yan Long still didn't go back to the inn.

Then he went to the second man.

This person is different from Ye Xianggao, because Yan Long is eager to see her and learn some truth about Zhu Lingyun's assassination case.

This person is Zhu Jiarou, the county lord of Yunhuang!

Although the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion was in the Imperial City, Zhu Jiarou did not live in the Imperial City now. The place where she lives is far away from the imperial city, on the outskirts of the capital, called Fengwu Villa.

When Yan Long came to Fengwu Villa, the sun had already set. Zhu Jiarou was dressed in civilian clothes and was about to have dinner. So when Yan Long saw her, she didn't have the fluttering fairy look she had when they first met.

Zhu Jiarou seemed to be a little interested in Yan Long's arrival, and she said lazily: "Why did you come to the capital?"

Yan Long asked rhetorically, "County Lord, have you received my letter?"

"Roger. Zhu Jiarou said lightly.

"Hmm. Yan Long did not continue the topic, but said another rather complaining thing: "I went to the Criminal Department today. Lord Li, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, said many things to me, but none of them were what I wanted to hear. ”

Zhu Jiarou's eyes widened, as if she had raised some interest, and asked, "In my image, Master Li has always been very interesting to speak, why do you say you don't want to hear it?"

Yan Long sighed: "Because none of what he said was useful. I came to the capital this time, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and what Master Li said was not to my liking, so I came here to ask the county lord some questions. ”

Zhu Jiarou held back the maid beside her, then raised her hand towards Yan Longxu and said, "You ask." ”

Yan Long said: "In Jinyiwei's Tang newspaper, it was said that Yuan Suiyun followed Zhu Lingyun to the mansion before killing him, and he was wearing a ghost armor, so it was obvious that Yuan Suiyun was definitely a long-planned murder. But the Tang newspaper actually said that the two of them were only killed because of the conflict of will, I didn't think there was anything at first, but think about it, although Yuan Suiyun's character is a little anxious, but his city government is very deep, if it is just a battle of will, he is unlikely to do such a stupid thing, so there must be another hidden secret, and there must be irreconcilable contradictions!"

Zhu Jiarou sighed: "You are really more suspicious than an old woman sometimes. However, what you said is indeed not wrong, the two of them do have irresolvable contradictions. ”

Yan Long said: "Is it about the secret of the royal family?"

Zhu Jiarou was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Because apart from this, I can't think of any other reason for Jin Yiwei to go to great lengths to cover up the facts!" Yan Long said.

"What is the truth, please tell the county lord without hesitation!" Yan Long said.

Zhu Jiarou sighed: "In fact, it was only after Zhu Lingyun first found someone to assassinate Yuan Suiyun that Yuan Suiyun retaliated and killed. ”

The person who was killed suddenly became an attempted murderer!

Yan Long instantly felt that his worldview had changed so much!

Zhu Jiarou continued: "Zhu Lingyun was killed in the mansion, and Yuan Suiyun was rescued by a mysterious person from Shizun's hands. Afterwards, the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town searched the residences of Zhu Lingyun and Yuan Suiyun, and Yuan Suiyun's residence did not find anything, but a blood list killer's soul hooking paper was found in Zhu Lingyun's residence!"

The blood list in the rivers and lakes is like the stock exchange in the capital market, as long as you have money, you can take anyone's life. The hook paper is like a receipt for an advance payment, and the employer pays the rest of the commission through the intermediary after the killer completes the task.

"Zhu Lingyun once found a Blood List Killer to assassinate Yuan Suiyun?!" Yan Long asked.

"Yes, Jin Yiwei followed the soul paper to find the corresponding intermediary, under the coercion confession, the intermediary said that the killer who took over the business did not come back, and it was estimated that he was killed by Yuan Suiyun because of the assassination failure. Zhu Jia judo.

"It stands to reason that the killer on the mission doesn't know the identity of his employer, so how can Yuan Suiyun know that it must be Zhu Lingyun who is looking for someone to assassinate him?" Yan Long said.

"The real situation is not clear, but in several competitions, Zhu Lingyun wanted to kill Yuan Suiyun, and a few times if it wasn't for Shizun's drinking, I was afraid that he would have killed the killer. Therefore, it must have been Yuan Suiyun's own guess. Zhu Jia judo.

Yan Long shook his head and smiled: "I can't imagine that Yuan Suiyun, such a terrifying ghost assassin, would actually be bullied!"
