Jiang Wenliang shook his head, "According to reason, it's time to come back, but it might be delayed on the way, let's wait two days and see."

"I'm not afraid when it's over, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." Yan Shu sighed.

Jiang Wenliang was surprised: "Master Yan's meaning...could it be him?"

Jiang Wenliang clapped his legs, praying that nothing would happen again.He has been in charge of Bazhou for six years, and life has always been peaceful. Now that he has created so many difficult things, it really makes him angry.

Yan Shu raised his hand lightly, asked Jiang Wenliang to bring him the bowl of tea himself, and told him to drink two more cups of bitter tea to quench his thirst.

Jiang Wenliang was stunned for a moment, and quickly took the tea with both hands.He held his breath and finished drinking with his eyes closed. It seemed that he couldn't stand the pain himself.

Yan Shu pursed his lips quietly and didn't look in the direction of the door. After a while, he saw Pang Yuanying and Bai Yutang coming back.Wuzuo Zhou Ziyu and servant Qingfeng followed behind them.

"How's the situation?" Yan Shu asked.

Pang Yuanying turned to look at Zhou Ziyu, "It is consistent with what Zhou Yuzuo said just now. People are already rotten, smell strong, and look bad. But looking at the wounds, both of them were indeed stabbed in the neck and died with one knife. And according to Zhou Yuzuo Judging from the blood volume at the crime scene described, the two of them were stabbed to death on the spot at the entrance of the mausoleum. We are going to the mausoleum to have a look, do you want to go with Master Yan?"

"I won't go, I'll trouble Pang Shaoyin to claim the matter there." Yan Shu smiled perfunctorily at Pang Yuanying, and then said, "I will stay and continue to analyze the case with Mr. Jiang."

"Okay." Pang Yuanying simply agreed, and then asked Yan Shu with a smirk, "Then did you discuss any case just now?"

Yan Shu didn't bother to look at Pang Yuanying, and didn't intend to answer his words.

Jiang Wenliang didn't dare to offend Yan Shu, so he quickly and politely described the content of the case that he and Yan Shu had just discussed.

"I think it's such an important case, isn't this something everyone knows." Pang Yuanying sneered and sighed.

Jiang Wenliang apologized in embarrassment and couldn't say anything more.

Pang Yuanying waved to Yan Shu, turned around and left.

Bai Yutang and Qing Feng silently followed.

Zhou Ziyu stayed, depending on what Jiang Wenliang meant.

"Pang Shaoyin came to Bazhou for the first time, and there are many things he doesn't understand. No one is more familiar with the scene of the crime than you, so go too, and make sure to entertain the adults."

After Jiang Wenliang sent Zhou Ziyu away, Zhao Weineng came late.Zhao Weineng came from the east side of the courtyard, saw Pang Yuanying walking straight out of the courtyard, and asked him where he was going.Pang Yuanying ignored him, and Zhao Weineng ran into the room to ask.

Yan Shu still didn't speak.

Jiang Wenliang did not dare to offend Zhao Weineng, so he had to tell Zhao Weineng the truth.Zhao Weineng turned around and followed.

Jiang Wenliang didn't dare to ask just now, now he and Yan Shu were the only ones to sigh: "It's strange, didn't the county king go to the morgue just now, why didn't he go with Pang Shaoyin?"

"I didn't dare to look at it, so I ran away." Yan Shu said without surprise.

The Prince of Nankang's temper is too easy to deal with, and he seems to be not easy to provoke, but at the critical moment, he is a coward.

Jiang Wenliang suddenly realized and nodded, then carefully sat down beside Yan Shu.Looking at Yan Shu several times, he hesitated whether to say it or not.

"Your Majesty Jiang, you don't have to be a fool. If you don't believe me, just send away the idlers in the house, and speak up when you have something to say." Yan Shu said.

Jiang Wenliang hurriedly dismissed the idlers, and whispered to Yan Shu: "The lower official came from a poor background. He finally got out of the imperial examination and worked in the officialdom for more than ten years before he reached his current position. Pang Shaoyin was young and vigorous, and his family background is so Noble, I am really afraid that I will accidentally offend him. I sincerely want to serve the two lords well, and I hope Lord Yan can order the next official."

"I can't help you." Yan Shu still spoke in a polite manner, but he suddenly pushed the teacup on the table, which startled Jiang Wenliang.

"As you saw just now, I am at odds with Pang Shaoyin. As you said, Pang Yuanying is young and energetic, but he is a stunned young man in the officialdom, relying on his father's strength, he is domineering. How can I say that I am of higher rank than him? I have been an official longer than him, but do you see that he has the slightest respect for me?"

Jiang Wenliang shook his head.

"So if you want to curry favor with Pang Yuanying, don't stay here, hurry up and flatter, say all the good things, and offer all the delicious and interesting things in Bazhou, maybe you will be on the rise in the future, it's hard to say You will still step on my head in the future." Yan Shu smiled lightly.

Jiang Wenliang stood up straight, and hurriedly saluted Yan Shu respectfully, expressing that he would never dare.Jiang Wenliang said that he admired Yan Shu's talent and learning in his early years, and after being amazed by his poems, he has nothing but admiration for him these years.

"Your Excellency may not know about Xiaguan, but Xiaguan is to Your Excellency—"

"Okay, I don't need you to flatter me. Whether you are a good person or not depends on what you do." Yan Shu looked at Jiang Wenliang, "Don't let me down, and I will not let you down in the future."

"Master Yan, please rest assured, I will do my best to be loyal to you." Jiang Wenliang bowed to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu smiled, "Very well, what about Pang Shaoyin's every move?"

"The lower officials will ask their subordinates to record all of Shaoyin's actions and report back to Lord Yan." Jiang Wenliang said.

Yan Shu nodded, stood up with a smile, and patted Jiang Wenliang on the shoulder.Then, under Jiang Wenliang's arrangement, he stayed and rested in the richest courtyard in the mansion.

When Pang Yuanying was about to reach the mausoleum, he suddenly sneezed twice.

"Who is scolding you behind your back?" Zhao Weineng sighed.

Pang Yuanying stared back at Zhao Weineng, "There are many people who scold me, aren't you one of them?"

Zhao Weineng: "But now I'm not scolding you. You still have to think about whether it's worthwhile for you to offend so many people. But you are so powerful that you can even provoke a gentle man with a good temper like Yan Shu. Do you know that the rabbit Bite people when you are in a hurry, especially this rabbit is very knowledgeable, good at handling things, and is very appreciated by the Holy One. It's been a long time since Pang Yuanying, why have you become so much stupider than before? Is it influenced by people around you?"

After Zhao Weineng finished speaking, he took a special look at Bai Yutang over there.

Bai Yutang was staring straight ahead, seemingly unaware of Zhao Weineng's gaze.

"Does your face hurt?" Pang Yuanying asked Zhao Weineng.

Zhao Weineng froze for a moment, touched his face, thought that Pang Yuanying cared about his body, but he didn't understand why he asked his face, so he asked Pang Yuanying why he said this.

"Thinking about your own situation, you have the nerve to say that others are stupid, even pigs can't compare to you." Pang Yuanying shook her head helplessly and sighed, "You are hopeless."

"Pang Yuanying!" Zhao Weineng said angrily, "I remind you for your own good."

"I'm fine, you still worry about yourself."

Pang Yuanying walked forward quickly, and there were stone statues one and a half tall on the left and right sides of the road. He continued to walk about [-] feet, and he was almost at the gate of the mausoleum.The so-called gate here refers to the Que Gate.On the left and right are stone pillars that are as thick as ten people's arms and more than three feet high, with various fairy patterns carved on them.

The mausoleum occupies a very large area. Starting from the Que gate here, it takes an hour to walk fast to reach the end.The mausoleum is divided into eight parts, and no one is allowed to enter the mausoleum where the emperor is actually buried.Therefore, only the first half of the mausoleum can be walked around. After the main entrance, walking inside is the main hall, which is used for sacrifices. There are several houses behind the main hall, which are places for sacrifices or tomb guards to rest.After that, it is the real mausoleum, which is a forbidden place.

The mausoleum is located in a remote place, there are only two villages within a radius of [-] li, both of which are mausoleum guardians responsible for guarding the mausoleum.

The place where the incident happened was at the Que Gate. The two dead women were sitting on the two stone pillars on the left and right sides of the Que Gate.

Pang Yuanying immediately noticed the 'blood map' on the ground.It had been ten days since the crime happened, and the blood on the ground had long since dried up and turned black. Some places were covered with a layer of soil and leaves when the wind blew, and the whole picture could no longer be seen.However, Pang Yuanying roughly guessed the direction based on some distinguishable residual bloodstains. After a comprehensive analysis, he probably guessed that this 'blood map' friend might be a soul-calling talisman.

"I transcribed a picture and left it with Mr. Jiang. When Shao Yin returns, he will know it as soon as he sees it." Zhou Ziyu introduced.

The two beaches in front of the two stone pillars of the Que Gate are still very clear, so the blood loss of the two deceased was extremely high at that time.

"The splattered blood is already ten feet away." Zhou Ziyu pointed to the approximate location.

Pang Yuanying looked around for three sides, but found nothing more.After all, it has been ten days since the incident happened, and it is normal that no more clues can be found at the scene.

Pang Yuanying turned to ask Zhao Weineng's followers where they were on the day of the incident.

The followers all bowed their heads and said nothing.

Pang Yuanying looked at Zhao Weineng.

Zhao Wei Neng touched his nose, "Aren't you able to investigate cases? What else do you ask? If you have the ability, you can do it yourself!"

"Very good, please continue with this attitude. After you return to Beijing, you will be completely relieved." Pang Yuanying sarcastically said.

Zhao Weineng stared with anger, but still didn't speak.

"It is said that you fainted at the time, and it seemed that someone had drugged you. Then before the incident, what did you eat, and who gave it to you?" Pang Yuanying asked again.

Zhao Weineng turned around, turned his back to Pang Yuanying and said, "It seems to be drinking tea. I don't remember who gave it to me. Anyway, I don't have any memory after drinking it. After waking up, my head hurts."

"Come here, take down all the guards around the king of the county, and torture them severely. Whoever confesses first will be released, and those who are recruited later will not be cared about. They may be disabled or sentenced at will."

"Do you dare? I am the king of the county, the highest-ranking person here. If I like to say something, I will say it, and if I don't like it, I won't say it. You can't control it, and you are not allowed to move my entourage." Zhao Weineng said to Pang Yuanying angrily. .

"If I were Jiang Wenliang, would I be afraid of your threats?" Pang Yuanying took out the imperial gold medal and waved it in front of Zhao Weineng. After he was dumbfounded, he ordered his subordinates to deal with Zhao Weineng's poor followers.

The attendants knelt down one after another, bowed their heads and trembled, and had to obey orders.

Zhao Weineng was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, don't embarrass them, I will tell you. But I only tell you, you promise not to spread it."

"If you don't talk about it, there is no guarantee. If you don't tell me, I will interrogate them. There will always be people who know the current affairs. But after such a toss, I must be in a bad mood. When I am unhappy, I may use the same words when I report the case. Some." After Pang Yuanying finished speaking, she hooked her hands to signal her subordinates.

"Ten days ago was my birthday." Zhao Weineng said hastily.

"Then?"

Zhao Weineng lowered his head, and his voice was like a mosquito: "The days of guarding the mausoleum are really hard. That day I couldn't hold back and listened to my subordinates' suggestion. If I wanted to celebrate secretly, I would set up wine and barbecue with my followers in the woods ahead. Who Zhicai took a few mouthfuls and felt dizzy..."

Shouling is like keeping filial piety, and the clothes and food should be light.Zhao Weineng committed a big taboo by eating meat and drinking alcohol before his ancestor's mausoleum, no wonder Zhao Weineng refused to confess before.

Pang Yuanying warned Zhao Weineng not to lie in the next half sentence, otherwise he will definitely report this matter.

"Do you know both of the deceased?"

"I know." Zhao Weineng glanced at Pang Yuanying guiltily.
