In the morning of the next day, when the rain took a break, Zhou You, who had just come to work in the Neiwei Mansion, was called away by Huang Chengyan, the leader of the chief cabinet of the Neiwei Mansion.

"What? All the inner guards who went out of the city to meet him died in Yongji Village near Shendu?" Zhou You was slightly surprised by Huang Chengyan's words.

After receiving the news from Sun Dianchen before his death, he knew that some inner guards had traveled back to Beijing with Sun Dianchen, so he notified Huang Chengyan of this matter.

Sun Dianchen was killed in Luoyang City, which also made Huang Chengyan realize that the inner guards outside the city might also be in danger, so he specially sent people to meet him.Unexpectedly, early this morning, they received the news that they all died tragically in Yongji Village.

"Killing each other to death?" Zhou You couldn't help being even more surprised when he asked about the death conditions of these inner guards and learned that they killed each other.

Huang Chengyan continued: "According to our people's investigation, the place where they hid from the rain at night was a haunted house in the village. The dead Neiwei brothers had grim and horrifying expressions. They seemed to be fascinated by ghosts, so they killed each other. .”

"A ghost kills people?" Zhou You raised his brows when he heard this. Naturally, he would not believe such nonsense. Like Wu Zetian, he may have been intoxicated with drugs such as ecstasy, which is why he became insane and waved like sleepwalking. The knife slashed and killed wantonly: "Don't you want to play the bloody eagle? It's really a good way to be enchanted by ghosts! It can indeed make people suspicious. However, if you want to deceive me, it's not that easy."

"Leader of the Great Pavilion, leave this matter to me! I will definitely investigate this matter clearly," Zhou You, who asked for his life, left the capital soon.

.. Outside Luoyang City, on the official road in Mangshan Mountain, Di Renjie was invited by Zeng Taizhi, the new magistrate of Jing County, to solve a strange case.

At the scene of the crime, there was a carriage parked on the official road, and the groom who drove the carriage was lying outside the door without his head and left arm.In the grass not far away, there was also a corpse without a head and left arm.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Zhou You came galloping on his horse. When he approached, he saw government servants guarding both sides of the official road, so he slammed off his horse, walked straight over, and measured the horseshoes of the size of a sea bowl with the look of surprise on his face. Li Yuanfang, who was far away from India, said, "Yuanfang, how are you doing? Did you and your lord find out anything?"

"Zhou You, why are you here?" Seeing Zhou You, Li Yuanfang asked in surprise.

"My people have been killed, can I not come to check?" Zhou You asked back, and Li Yuanfang was even more surprised: "Your people? You mean, it was your inner guard who was killed? "

"It should be," Zhou You nodded lightly, and then asked, "I think you were measuring hoof prints just now, and you were surprised. What did you find?"

"I found something strange. Zhou You, don't you think the distance between the hoofprints is too big? What kind of horse can take such a big step? It's more than one and a half steps of an ordinary war horse, and the hoofprints are as big as a sea bowl. It is more than twice as big as the hooves of Western Region horses, it is really unbelievable," Li Yuanfang frowned.

"Oh? This should be the horseshoe left by the horse the murderer was riding, right?" Zhou You raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "It seems that the murderer is riding a big horse!"

Li Yuanfang shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible! There is no horse in the world today that can take such huge strides. This is definitely not a horse!"

"What else could it be if it's not a horse? Could it be a monster?" Zhou You also shook his head and smiled, "Yuan Fang, there are always some strange things in the world. Among horses, it is not impossible for some particularly tall horses to be born occasionally. However, such a horse, such a tall and handsome horse, I am afraid that the folks will not have it, unless it is in..."

Before Zhou You finished speaking, Di Renjie and Zeng Tai had already walked out from the grass not far away.Seeing Zhou You's Di Renjie, he also came forward with some surprise and joy, "Zhou You!"

"My lord, I knew that wherever there are strange cases, you are indispensable!" Zhou You also greeted him with a smile and said, "How is it? Judging by your lord's appearance, you should have gained something, right?"

"Well, there are some clues," Di Renjie asked, "By the way, Zhou You, why are you here? Could it be that this dead person..."

"Your Excellency is indeed wise, it seems that he has already guessed it. Yes, if there is no accident, the person who died should be the inner guard," Zhou You nodded repeatedly.

"What? It's the inner guard who died?" Zeng Tai stared in surprise at the side, and then suddenly said: "Oh, no wonder the master said that the person who drove to the gods all night had a way to open the city gate. It turned out that he was the inner guard. Wei! Yes, that makes sense."

Di Renjie on the side also suddenly said: "So that's the case! I said why the murderer cut off their heads and left arms. It was because they were afraid that we would find out the identity of the deceased. But why did they kill the inner guard? Wei Yuye rushed to the capital, why?"

"Naturally, it's an important matter. The purpose of the killers is to prevent them from bringing a piece of news back to God City," Zhou Youlian said, "Yesterday, Sun Dianchen, the leader of my inner guard, was killed in Luoyang City. And the one who died here , is just his follower and substitute."

"So that's it!" Di Renjie said repeatedly: "Who exactly is going to kill the inner guard, Zhou You, do you already know something?"

Zhou You was noncommittal, and reached out his hand to signal Di Renjie to speak aside.After the two arrived in the secluded bushes, Di Renjie's expression changed after Zhou You's words: "Yesterday in Luoyang City, it was Hu Jinghui who killed Sun Dianchen."

"What?" Di Renjie was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that he has gone into hiding? Why did he appear in the capital again?"

"I don't know, but I know that the target of Hu Jinghui and the people behind him is probably the emperor," Zhou You said while shaking his head, and then said seriously.

"Emperor?" Di Renjie was shocked again when he heard the words, and then looked at Zhou You suspiciously: "You mean the person behind Hu Jinghui? Could it be..."

Zhou You nodded slightly: "I suspect that it is very likely that it is the mastermind behind the Youzhou case. This force should not be underestimated, and has even penetrated into the inner guards. Moreover, a few days ago, the palace was haunted by ghosts, and I was surprised." Some ecstasy drugs were found in the censers in His Majesty's palace."

"Does the emperor know the inside story?" Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned and became serious, and then asked hastily.

"Naturally! This matter is so important, how dare I hide it from the emperor?" Zhou Youlian said, "Besides, their target is the emperor. If I don't remind your majesty earlier, I'm afraid your majesty may really be tricked by them. But now, It is still unclear what kind of tricks these people have. But they dared to use the bloody eagle case to massacre the inner guards, they are really daring, and their strength must not be underestimated."

"Blooded Eagle? You mean, the Bloody Eagle cases in Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong are these people's purge actions against the inner guards?" Di Renjie gasped again when he heard that.

Zhou Youlian nodded and said: "That's right! I have already received the news from Sun Dianchen that there is a force infiltrating the inner guards with evil intentions. Before his death, it was also reported that Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong three The news that Dao Neiwei was killed."

"It seems that this is not an ordinary case. Behind this case, there is an undercurrent hidden, and there is a big hand controlling everything!" Di Renjie said seriously.

"Therefore, I hope that my lord can investigate this case in detail, and maybe dig out some useful information," Zhou Youlian said, "The people behind this are too powerful. Only by breaking the surface can we hope to expose them."
