Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

"This is the first, and the second is that the prince's left and right wrists were cut open, and there was also a wound on the abdomen. There were only these three wounds on the whole body. The wounds were not big, but the prince died! Isn't this very strange? At first I couldn't figure it out, how did the prince die? How could these three simple wounds cause death, until I went to ask Wu Zuo and verified one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Eight Wise King asked with eyebrows fixed.

At this time, there was silence inside and outside the room, only Bao Zheng's voice was talking.

"When the prince died, his face was very pale. A normal person would not have such a face when he died. Only one kind of person will have such a phenomenon!"

"People who have lost too much blood!" the Eighth Sage King almost blurted out.

Bao Zheng looked at the Eight Worthy Kings, bowed and cupped his hands respectfully, with a neither humble nor overbearing expression, "Yes! Your lord is right! This is the kind of person."

"Then the prince lost too much blood and died?" General Gao Li asked in surprise, then frowned and said, "Impossible! I saw with my own eyes that there was no trace of blood in the room!"

"No! There is blood! It's just that the general didn't see it!" Bao Zheng said lightly.

"Where is the blood?" The Seventh Prince was already listening very intently, and asked after standing up.

"The murderer's layout is very exquisite. He chose the most troublesome but also the most reliable way to kill." Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "He cut the prince's wrist. Once the meridians in the wrist are cut open, the blood A large amount of blood will flow out, and the same is true for the hole poked open in the abdomen, but when a person's blood gushes out in a large amount, they will not die immediately. In order to cover up the blood, the murderer chose the place that we are most likely to ignore on weekdays—”

"Where?!" General Gao Li asked anxiously.

"Under the bed!"

Under the bed?Everyone thought about it.

"Once the bluestone slab under the bed is stained with blood, we won't be able to see it. Firstly, it's because the bed blocks our view, and secondly, it's because of the light. The light is too dark. Even if we see it, we will only be mistaken." I thought it was because of the dim light, but never thought it was human blood!"

"Then, why did the murderer insist on using this method? If he really wanted to kill the prince, wouldn't he be able to end the prince's life with a single sword?" asked the eight virtuous king.

"In order to spread suspicion, the murderer's purpose of killing the prince is very simple. It is to provoke the conflict between Song Dynasty and Goryeo, so that he can benefit from it! Therefore, the person who kills the prince must be from the Song Dynasty! Therefore, it is necessary to set up a Suspicion, push all the clues and suspicions to a Song person! Even if you can't frame the Song people, you can't let Da Song get away from this murder! Therefore, the death of the prince must be a mystery! This kind of troublesome murder The method has two advantages: First, we cannot determine the time of death! Second, we cannot determine the method of killing! If Bao Zheng hadn’t seen someone die from excessive blood loss when he was young, Bao Zheng would probably fall into the same trap. In this suspicious situation!"

After Gongsun Ce heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, remembering that in his previous life, Bao Zheng once said that his father died because he was stabbed by a robber and lost too much blood.Bao Zheng had a very deep memory of this because he saw it with his own eyes when he was young.

Gongsun Ce turned his head slightly to look at Shen Liang, who was listening silently, and saw regret flashing in Shen Liang's eyes when he heard this.

"So that's how it is!" the Eight Sage King murmured, squinting at the arresters who were detained by Lu Yun and the man in white clothes, his eyes were cold, "It seems that you are really trying hard."

"At the beginning, I was a little puzzled by the arrest of the yamen guards outside the prince's attic. How could a mere door and a wall prevent the yamen guards outside from hearing the prince's call anyway, especially after the female ghost appeared? , Therefore, I was sure that the police and the Yamen were lying! After that, I checked the duty list and found that they will be on duty again tonight. Because of the three-day deadline, they must do something in three days, so that Goryeo and Da Song’s conflicts are irreconcilable, and before, I deliberately disclosed the news that I had caught the girl pretending to be a female ghost, and finally the suspect of Da Song appeared, but this is not enough. If the civilian girl is killed by a chivalrous woman who upholds justice, such a reason is not enough to deepen the conflict between Da Song and Goryeo. Therefore, one more conflict must be added, an event that can anger the King of Goryeo... What kind of thing can most irritate Goryeo What about the king? I think there is only one thing—the pain of bereavement!! I think, if you lose two sons in a row, there will be no greater blow to the king of Korea! Therefore, I especially urge Brother Lu, we must pay attention to this night. Just in case, I also sent someone to inform the general to come to ambush. Sure enough, in order to deepen the conflict between Da Song and Gao Li, and to provoke Gao Li's anger, they are here today. Sure enough, he acted late!" After Bao Zheng said that, he looked at the arrested policemen, his sharp eyes flashed.

A touch!General Gao Li glared angrily, drew out his knife, pointed it at the detained arrester, and shouted, "You damned Liao people! Kill our prince! Now you will pay for your life!"

"Wait!" Eight Sage King said seriously at this time, "General, calm down for now! We must interrogate these Daliao people!"

"The Eight Sage Kings are right!" At this moment, the Seventh Prince also said coldly, "Stand back, General."

And at this moment, all of a sudden, those police officers who were detained by Lu Yun opened their eyes wide open one after another, and blood flowed from their eyes!

Bao Zheng's face changed, and he blurted out, "No! They want to commit suicide!" As soon as Bao Zheng finished speaking, those arresters fell limply to the ground one by one!

The Eighth Sage King rushed forward, seeing those arresters bleeding to death from seven holes, his expression suddenly became serious.

But Gongsun Ce looked at Shen Liang subconsciously. Shen Liang was still standing quietly, but his eyes were lowered, unable to see his expression clearly.

***********

The night of the third day when Prince Goryeo was killed.

Gongsun Ce walked out of the government office, looked outside, and there was light rain dripping in the dark night sky.

There are hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Night, very quiet.The air was a little damp, but also a little fresh. After taking a deep breath, Gongsun Ce held up his umbrella and walked into the night.

Although I always get lost, and I spared a few laps tonight, I finally came here.

Standing still, looking at Shen Liang who was drinking leisurely in the shed, Gongsun Ce smiled faintly.

"Are you here?" Shen Liang raised his wine glass and smiled as usual, "What a coincidence, you came just after Bao Zheng left."

Gongsun Ce paused for a moment, put away his umbrella, went to sit down opposite Shen Liang, and said with a smile, "Really? That's really a coincidence."

"You came to see me, but you are the same as Bao Zheng?" Shen Liang asked leisurely while pouring the wine slowly.

"Brother Shen already knew, right?" Gongsun Ce asked without answering.

"Know what?" Shen Liang looked up at Gongsun Ce, with a very casual tone, "Knowing that you and Bao Zheng are fools, you actually want to let me go?"

Gongsun Ce smiled helplessly, "I don't think we are stupid."

Shen Liang glanced at Gongsun Ce, and snorted, "It's not stupid to be able to easily break the situation that I have spent several years in a day and a half."

Gongsun Ce just smiled gently, "The one who broke this game is Bao Zheng alone."

"Don't be too self-effacing, your ability is not inferior to Bao Zheng's." Shen Liang said lightly.

Gongsun Ce just smiled and changed the subject, "Bao Zheng and I didn't want to let you go, but we just had to let you go. First, we have no evidence, and second, we don't have the confidence to keep you. Be a favor and let you go, if there is another chance like this in the future, Bao Zheng and I will never let you go again!"

Shen Liang looked up at Gongsun Ce, "Will you call me Big Brother Shen again when we meet in the future?"

Gongsun Ce looked at Shen Liang firmly, remembering Shen Liang's painful muttering to himself when he died in his previous life, "Why do you divide Liao people and Song people?"

With the corners of his mouth raised and a slight smile, Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, "Of course."

***********

Watching Shen Liang leave, Gongsun Ce walked towards the government office slowly holding an umbrella, but just as he turned into the alley, he saw Bao Zheng also holding an umbrella standing at the entrance of the alley and looking at him.

Gongsun Ce smiled, and walked slowly towards Bao Zheng, "wait for me?"

"Yes." Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce and asked earnestly, "How is Mr. Fu Yin?"

Gongsun Ce chuckled and nodded, "My father said, that's fine. Although I can no longer be an official, I can still save my life. In Suzhou, our family still has some properties, which can be taken care of when we go back."

Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce, and asked Chi Chi, "What about you?"

Gongsun Ce blinked, "Me? Of course I stayed to study."

Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and smiled at Gongsun Ce, "Put the umbrella away, let's use one. I'll take you back."

Gongsun Ce nodded with a smile.Put away the umbrella, got under Bao Zheng's umbrella, looked up and smiled at Bao Zheng.

Although the night was hazy, the distance between the two of them was enough for Bao Zheng to see the light and cheerful smile clearly.

Bao Zheng smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, it's great, Gongsun Ce won't leave...
