Riding several times in one car, rushing on the Jingzhou official road. Pedestrians evaded hastily, and smoke billowed all the way.

Chu Suiliang has been sitting in this bumpy carriage for almost two days. At this time, he only felt sore and dizzy, but he still urged the coachman to hurry up and rush to Jingzhou City as soon as possible.

Chu Suiliang has never been so nervous before carrying a sea of ​​blood on him. King Wu was assassinated, the emperor fell ill, and it was rumored that Qin Mubai in Guanxi wanted rebellion. He knew all of these. These three shocking events that are enough to shake the foundation of Datang's rivers and mountains are directly or indirectly related to Jingzhou.

Although Chu Suiliang knows that Changsun Wuji has the intention to remove him from the court at this critical time, and it is somewhat unkind to give him one of the most difficult cases in the world, but Chu Suiliang has no time to think about it. Up.

To clarify the truth of the Jingzhou case, Wu Wang Li Kesheng wants to see the dead and the dead, which is the most important thing at present.

He was riding fast with stars and moons all the way, changing horses several times along the way, and even ran away two wagon wheels. Chu Suiliang finally arrived at Jingzhou City. After getting out of the car, he almost stood unsteadily, but could not take a break to drink a sip of water, so he went straight to the prefectural government office and called the governor and other local officials to inquire about the case.

Yin Yang has also arrived.

Jingzhou governor’s surname is Xu, and he has a relationship with Li Ji (Li Ji’s original name is Xu Shiji). He has been an official for seven years, and he has been in peace under his rule. Although he is not a competent official, at least he has no merits. This time, the terrible disaster developed under his jurisdiction, Xu Cishi almost hanged himself in panic.

Chu Suiliang asked everyone about the situation, which was no different from what the outside world had heard. It was nothing more than that King Wu was attacked in the forest in the suburbs of Anding County, accompanied by a total of 18 people, only Yin Yang survived.

After hearing this, Chu Suiliang thought to himself for a long time, and saw that all the officials were present, so he repelled the clutter, and called Xu Cishi and Yin Yang privately, and then asked them again.

Sure enough, this time Chu Suiliang heard many key doubts.

Xu Cishi's work is fairly safe, and the results of the investigation on the location of the crime were strictly blocked, so that Yin Yang and his officials did not know about it. He reported to Chu Suiliang that after the assassination, the murderer set a fire in the forest to destroy the body. Later, the state government made every effort to put out the fire, and among the embers of the fire scene, forty-three male bodies were found!

"Forty-three?!" Yin Yang was taken aback on the spot, "I'm waiting for the guards who **** King Wu, and there are no more than 17 generals, and 18 riders together with King Wu. Are there so many dead bodies?"

"There are even more amazing!" Xu Cishi swallowed nervously, and trembled with a panic expression, "Of the forty-three corpses, 27 of them have no human heads!"

"Huh?" Chu Suiliang and Yin Yang exclaimed at the same time.

"Why is it like this?" Yin Yang asked in surprise, "What is the purpose of killing someone and cutting off the head?"

"After the heads were cut off, the corpses should be set on fire again." Chu Suiliang was calmer and said with a deep eyebrow, "Obviously, the person who started the attack did not want to expose the identity of these 27 people! "

"Why didn't the other sixteen people have their heads cut off?" Yin Yang asked again in surprise.

Xu Cishi was trembling all over, and said with a tremor: "The humble and humble post personally led him to inspect all the corpses. He found out that these sixteen corpses that had not been cut off were all. The guards of Prince Wu's Mansion! Because they have tokens for entering and exiting the Royal Mansion!"

"But this?!" Yin Yang released his iron token from his waist.

"Yes, that's right! It is this thing!" Xu Cishi said affirmatively after identifying it.

Chu Suiliang took the token with his brows furrowed and took a look, and said: "It is made of iron, and the fire is difficult to melt. This is exactly the proof of the identity of the sixteen dead. In this case, except for General Yin In addition, the other 16 guards have all been killed. Xu Cishi, let me ask you, what is the identity of the other 27 corpses?"

"No." Xu Cishi replied quite positively, "The corpses have been burned like coke, and there is no way to identify them."

Chu Suiliang nodded, "I think so. Since the murderer has cut off his head, I must not leave any other clues to prove his identity. According to this analysis, except for Wang Wu and his party in the woods that day Besides, there are at least two groups of people!"

"Yes, the same is true for humble positions!" Xu Cishi said, "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind!"

Yin Yang was stunned for a while, thought for a long time, and said in doubt: "That is to say, besides the one who assassinated King Wu, there was another group of people who appeared at the same time? Then what was their purpose?" /

"We don't know yet." Chu Suiliang's eyes faintly flashed, and he said lightly: "Xu Cishi, go down and rest first, and I will ask you for an interview tomorrow."

Xu Cishi retired as promised, leaving only Chu Suiliang and Yin Yang in the room.

"General Yin, the officer asked you why all the 16 guards who accompanied you were killed, but you are the only one who survived?" Chu Suiliang said straight forward.

Yin Yang's anger suddenly came up, his eyes rounded and glared: "Chu Xianggong suspects that he will be the murderer in the end?!"

"That's not what I meant, don't get me wrong." Chu Suiliang had a good temper. He raised his hand to signal Yin Yang to suppress his temper, and said: "The officer also heard Xu Cishi's report, saying that you were knocked out by the murderer He survived the road and survived. The officer was just curious, why did the murderer keep you from killing? Is there another conspiracy?"

"This!..." Yin Yang was also stunned for a while, and shook his head, "The final general, I really haven't considered this issue carefully. But after the final general broke through with the two brothers guard Wu Wang, he encountered A mysterious master intercepted and killed. The final person was knocked out!"

"Oh? To elaborate!" Chu Suiliang lifted his spirits.

Yin Yang told Chu Suiliang about the situation that night in detail. After hearing this, Chu Suiliang was shocked and asked: "You mean that King Wu still had conversations with the murderer at the time, and guessed that the murderer was the old acquaintance of King Wu when he was an official in Xiangzhou?"

"Yes!" Yin Yang said affirmatively, "but Wang Wu didn't guess who the man was. If he didn't speculate on a few words, the man was about to commit a crime. The final officer was eager to protect him with his sword. Fighting, I didn’t expect that the man’s methods were very tricky and tough. With only one move, he would bring down the end. The end thought that he was bound to die. After waking up, he found out that he was stunned by the back of his head and fainted. The hematoma has not disappeared, please see Mr. Chu!"

After that, Yin Yang took off his tasseled helmet and dismissed his hair. Sure enough, he saw that there was still a big blister like an egg behind him.

"In other words, after you fainted, you didn't know everything? When you woke up, you found yourself being thrown by the side of the road. The forest was full of fire?" Chu Suiliang asked.

"Exactly."

Chu Suiliang nodded, got up, cut his hands and paced, and muttered, "So, it is easy to kill you by that murderer's method, but why didn't he kill you? Did he intend to keep you alive? So you can report to the government?"

"Why would he do this?" Yin Yang was also puzzled.

Chu Suiliang's heart throbbed, and the expression on his face became more tense and anxious, and he whispered: "Think about it, the assassination of King Wu, isn't this big thing going to make the ruling and the opposition turbulent the world? ?Now I guess that the murderer probably did not kill King Wu, but kidnapped him! Behind him, there is a bigger conspiracy than killing King Wu himself!"

"Ah? That means that His Royal Highness Wu is still in the world?!" Yin Yang was immediately overjoyed, and Chu Suiliang knelt down on the spot, "Chu Xianggong, you must rescue His Royal Highness Wu!"

"General Yin, please." Chu Suiliang helped Yin Yang up, took a deep breath and slowly sighed, and said, "Now these are just some guesses of the officer. The actual situation remains to be verified. General Yin , You must be tight-lipped about all these things to outsiders, don’t leak a word, remember, remember!"

"At the end, remember!"

At this time, Xu Cishi actually went back and forth again, seeking to see him outside. Chu Suiliang let the guards outside the door allow him to enter. After entering the door, Xu Cishi said anxiously: "Miangong forgive the sin, the humble post was panicked and nervous, and forgot an important clue."

"Say it!"

Xu Cishi hurriedly said: "After the incident happened that day, the humble servant led people to investigate the scene. In addition to many corpses, Xu also found several running horses not far away!"

"Yes!" Yin Yang said anxiously, "When he woke up, he looked around for colleagues and horses, but found nothing. I think the horses were frightened and fled during the fierce fighting, or they were chained to a tree and burned to death. !"

"That's right!" Xu Cishi said, "I found eighteen scorched horse corpses on the scene. I think they should be the horses of King Wu and his party. These horses were tied to a tree. They escaped and were burned to death. But two other horses were found in the distance, but they were alive! These two horses have saddles, bridles and excellent breeds. They are certainly not folk horses, but like..." "Lead the way forward, lead the official to check it out!" Chu Suiliang decisively ordered.

Later, the three of them went to the back house of the Governor's Mansion and saw the two horses. Chu Suiliang personally stepped forward to check, and let Yin Yang, who was familiar with the military, check it out. After a while, Yin Yang said with certainty that it should not be a war horse in the army, because these two horses are both stallions that have not been castrated. Except for stallions, all stallions in the army must be castrated. However, these two horses are excellent and expensive, and saddles and bridles are not affordable for ordinary people. Based on this inference, it should be the private horse owned by the wealthy eunuch.

"The humble job is thinking, could this be the horse left by the murderers when they were in a hurry?" Xu Cishi asked carefully.

"It's possible..." Chu Suiliang responded casually, still carefully inspecting the horses. Finally, on the neck of one of the horses, a special mark that was not very obvious was found!

Seeing this imprint, Chu Suiliang stood blankly on the spot!

"What's wrong?" Xu Cishi and Yin Yang asked at the same time.

"Look at..." Chu Suiliang pointed to the mark on the horse's neck.

"Is it a branding? But for the private horses of wealthy families, to prevent theft from branding the horses, the military horses and official horses must be branded together." Yin Yang asked as he stepped forward to look at the branding carefully. , Was shocked on the spot: "It's a'Wei' character!!"

"Yes, it is the Wei character!" Chu Suiliang squinted his eyes and his face was low, then turned his head and asked Yin Yang, "General Yin, what did you think of?!"

"When the last general saw this Wei character, he immediately remembered--Wei Xiaochen!" Yin Yang said in surprise, "When King Wu was an official in Xiangzhou, Wei Xiaochen was once his commander. Served as Xiangzhou Sima. However, this person and Xiangzhou Military Mansion Guoyan Du Chengyuan, the captain of Guoyan, colluded with the River Cao Shui ghost to cause disaster. At that time, Wang Wu and Qin Marshal joined forces to annihilate them! ——Chu Xianggong, these two people at that time After being escorted to Chang'an, they have all been asked to kill them! Is it possible, can it be that the ghosts are dead?!"

"Hugh is so nonsense, where is the ghost!" Chu Suiliang took a deep breath, "This clue is very important. Two of you must remember not to reveal a word to the outside world!-Okay, let's go down. Ben. The officer is also tired and needs to rest."

The two had to retire.

Chu Suiliang was standing next to the horse, staring at the brand with zesty eyes, and thought to himself: Wei Xiaochen and Du Chengyuan are dead, but the Weidu family in Chang'an are still living in Ding Xingwang. prosperity! The Xiangzhou water ghost case made Wu Wang and Qin Mubai famous. But since then, the Changan Weidu family must hate King Wu to death. In particular, Wei Jiashu has a deep root and a huge power. The harem has the head of the four concubines, Wei Guifei, and the royal doctor Wei Ting is on the court...

"Wei Ting!!" Chu Suiliang was taken aback, "He is also involved in the Wei Palace, and has a close relationship with Wei Wang! Also, didn't he have a daughter who married the Qi Wang Li You? Li You was condemned for rebellion. As a result, his daughter was demoted to Lingnan. Therefore, Wei Ting was also a little involved. Zuo Cheng was demoted to a prosecutor by Shang Shu Zuo Cheng, and was later reactivated after the activities of King Wei. The doctor is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and in charge of the inquiries and penalties of major cases!... Li You's rebellion, wasn't it exactly what Wu Wang and Qin Mubai put out?!"

Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but shudder!

"If this case is really related to Wei Ting, the truth of the matter may be even more scary!" Chu Suiliang took a breath and said in secret, "He is both the confidant of King Wei and the enemy of King Wu. In At this time, the assassination of King Wu is indeed motivated. But... he is also the brother of Concubine Wei; Concubine Wei also has a prince! Since King Wu, born of Concubine Yang, can fight for the crown, the son of Concubine Wei Wei , Can't it?!"

"Wu Wang's return to Beijing is a matter of Li Chu. In this very sensitive period, I guess Wei Wang will not risk the world's top wind and commit crimes. As long as Wu Wang makes a slight mistake, his suspicion will be greatest. Although Wang Wei has a black belly, he is not stupid!" Chu Suiliang thought to himself, "But if it is Wei Ting! ... On the surface, it is to help Wang Wei fight for the crown and eliminate his rivals, but it is actually intentional to frame Wei Wang. Really kill two birds with one stone! If King Wei and King Wu fall together because of this, the Wei family will not only avenge their blood feud, but also the son of Concubine Wei, the more than ten-year-old Ji Wang Li Shen. Isn't it a fisherman who has gained a profit and has a latecomer? Opportunity for the top?-If so, won't Wei Ting have a chance to be in power in the future, even overwhelming Sun Wuji?!"

"Danger!!" In Chu Suiliang's mind, it suddenly seemed as if a thunder passed by!

"If so-then King Jin is in danger too!"
