"It's not kind." Xia Qingshu narrowed her eyes, paused, and then sighed helplessly.She pursues fairness and justice, and unknowingly, she is regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by many people, and she has to take such painstaking efforts to get rid of it.Most critically, innocent people were killed because of her removal.

This was the last thing Xia Qingshu wanted to see.

It took a long time for Xia Qingshu to regain his composure, and Liu Yan stood beside her at some point, and put a thick coat on her shoulders.

"Does Master Hong know about this?"

"When my subordinates returned to the General's Mansion, they had already sent people to Yingtian Mansion to look for Lord Hong. At this time, Lord Hong should have arrived at the Dudu's Mansion."

"Okay, then let's go there quickly."

***

The Five Armies Commander's Mansion was the highest military institution of the Great Yan Dynasty. It originally set up the five armies of the center, left, right, front, and rear. Later, in order to deal with Mongolia, the military power was centralized and the five armies were managed together.

The Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies located in the inner city of the capital has assembled the most elite generals and soldiers in the country. The defense is so tight that it is difficult for a fly to fly in, but now it has been broken into by three daring assassins, and they have made no sound. killed people.

All these things have never happened since Dayan established the dynasty.If it is spread out, it will definitely shock the ruling and opposition parties.

The only thing that can save one or two people today is to catch the escaped assassin as soon as possible, find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, and find out the motive of the murder.

After Xia Qingshu and his party rushed to the Governor's Mansion, they went straight to the small wing.Walking outside the door, I heard the screaming cry of the woman inside.Zhou Bi's mother, Hao Shi, was lying on the corpse, crying heartbroken.Hubu Shangshu Zhou Louxing stood by the side of the bed without saying a word, his back hunched, his eyes reddened.

The three generations of the Zhou family were single-handed, not only the incense was cut off, but now even the people are gone, it's really a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Louxing raised his red eyes, looked at Hong Hewang at the side, and said angrily: "Master Hong, who did this, please find out as soon as possible, bring him to justice, and bring him to justice." Comfort the dog's spirit in heaven."

"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured that Mr. Hong will do his best." Hong Hewang bowed his head and saluted, then changed the subject and showed some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhou and his wife are also asked to express their condolences and to protect the fairness of the investigation. Master Ling's body will be quarantined, Lord Zhou will take Mrs. Zhou home to rest, it is really inconvenient to stay here."

Hao couldn't help crying, lying on Zhou Bi's body and refused to leave, Hong Hewang tried to dissuade him, but it was of no avail.

"Madam, let's go home first." Zhou Louxing bent down, put his trembling hands on Hao Shi's shoulders, and said in a hoarse voice.

Mrs. Zhou twisted her shoulders and broke free: "No! I want to stay with Bi'er, my Bi'er!" After saying that, she burst into tears again.

Zhou Louxing straightened up, summoned two servants, and motioned for them to pull his wife up.

After Zhou Bi was injured, Hao Shi took care of her personally, day and night, until today, with little strength left, she struggled a few times, then was picked up by a servant and led to the door.

As soon as he entered, Xia Qingshu met with the members of the Zhou family, and both sides paused.

Chapter 20

"Zhou Shangshu." Although Xia Qingshu's official rank was higher than Zhou Louxing's, she was a junior, and immediately clasped her fists and bowed her body when she regained consciousness.

"Hmph!" Zhou Louxing flicked his sleeves vigorously, turned his body sideways, and said angrily, "General Xia, you must give me an explanation for what happened today! The dog happened in the yamen under your jurisdiction, and even The assassin also has something to do with you!" Zhou Louxing's chest heaved violently, and his angry eyes fell on Xia Qingshu's face.

Xia Qingshu bowed again, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, please calm down, give Qingshu some time, and we will investigate this matter to the bottom!"

"Oh," Zhou Louxing's expression suddenly turned cold, he sneered, and continued: "It's not Zhou who has the final say on whether to give these days or not. As soon as the gate of the palace is opened at Yinshi, I will enter Gongmiansheng, who is suspected, and how to thoroughly investigate, is entirely up to the emperor. If the assassination of the dog has nothing to do with General Xia, at most you will be punished for mismanagement. If there is, General Xia, your head is on the neck. The official is about to be decided."

Xia Qingshu didn't raise her head, and said in her mouth: "Your Majesty is wise, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and then Qingshu can be proved innocent."

"Wait!" With another snort, Zhou Louxing left angrily with his servants and wife.

Looking at the back of the group of people leaving, Xia Qingshu sighed helplessly, then turned around and stepped into the wing room, and came to the side of the bed, scanning Zhou Bi's body from top to bottom with eagle-like eyes.

The corpse did not have much trauma, only a large bloodstain on the chest.

"Straight into the heart and kill with one blow." Hong Hewang walked to her side and frowned.

"Where is the murder weapon?"

"In the hands of Qu Yong."

"I'll go see Qu Yong."

Xia Qingshu left the wing room, went down the stairs, and came to the small courtyard with a gloomy face.

This courtyard is close to the cold and humid prison, and it has been left unattended all year round. The trees, flowers and plants are not growing well, and it looks barren and dilapidated.

Under the half-withered apple tree, lay a corpse, and beside it were two soldiers in armor guarding it.

"General Xia." Seeing Xia Qingshu approaching, the two soldiers bowed their heads and called out respectfully.

Xia Qingshu made a gesture, and the two left beside Qu Yong's body, and stood a little further away, with their backs to her.
