Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Chapter 30 Blood Altar

The three of them walked out of the prison cell and came to the lobby of the government office. They saw a man in his forties with an elegant and gentle face sitting at the head, holding a tea bowl in his hand and drinking slowly. Sitting casually, but the grace and elegance still exudes inadvertently.This man is the Eight Sage Kings, Bao Zheng's unswerving supporter in the future, and the biggest backer of Kaifeng Mansion!

Seeing the three people walking in, the Eighth Sage King smiled slightly, his eyes gliding slowly past Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao seemingly inadvertently.

Gongsun Ce smiled and followed Bao Zheng to salute. To the Eight Sage Kings, Gongsun Ce admired him very much. He was wise, calm, easy-going and kind.And because of the relationship between Kaifeng Mansion and the Eight Sage Kings, as the steward of the Kaifeng Mansion and the private secretary of Mr. Bao, Gongsun Ce has a very good relationship with the Eight Sage Kings. The Eight Sage Kings are friends of Qin friends.

"Bao Zheng, these two are..." The Eighth Sage King stood up, looked at Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao with a little curiosity, and showed a very gentle smile.

"My lord, this is Gongsun Ce, and this is Zhan Zhao." Bao Zheng said simply, but did not introduce in detail.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Gongsun Ce pays homage to the lord." "Zhan Zhao pays homage to the lord!"

"Hehe... get up, there is no need to be polite!" Baxian King said very kindly, and looked at Gongsun Ce with a smile, "I have heard the name of Gongsun Ce, the number one talented person in Luzhou, and this time he is also a first-class student in the provincial examination." A first-class one. Hehe... Not bad! Not bad! You also put in a lot of effort in the case of the Crown Prince of Korea last time, and you worked hard to accompany Bao Zheng to travel around."

Gongsun Ce smiled, "This is what Gongsun Ce should do."

The Eighth Sage King slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Gongsun Ce with a faint smile. This is... what Gongsun Ce should do?The Eighth Sage King smiled, and the smile was somewhat meaningful.

Bao Zheng glanced at the Eight Sage Kings, and said in a low voice, "My lord, what about Lord Wang Song?"

"Oh, I've called you here, actually, it's also for Wang Song."

Gongsun Ce was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, what's wrong with Wang Song?"

"He's dead." Eight Sage King said lightly.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce was stunned, Wang Song is dead? !

On the other hand, Bao Zheng just frowned slightly, looking at the Eighth Wise King, "Did he die last night?"

The Eight Sage King looked at Bao Zheng, smiled, and was very relieved, "Bao Zheng is indeed Bao Zheng, that's right. He died last night. So, this also proves your innocence."

"My lord, where is his body now?" Bao Zheng asked solemnly.

"In the backyard of the government office, Bao Zheng, after you have finished examining the corpse, remember to tell me what is going on with this case?"

"Yes!"

Hurrying to the backyard of the government office, Lu Yun was already guarding outside, with a sad face and a very worried look. When he saw Bao Zheng and the others, his eyes lit up, "Bao Zheng! You are here!"

"Brother Lu! Where is Lord Wang's body?" Bao Zheng asked with a serious expression.

"It's in his room, we don't dare to move around at will." Lu Yun explained.

"Who was the first to discover it?" Bao Zheng asked as he walked.

And Gongsun Ce began to pay attention to the surrounding situation habitually. Gongsun Ce was very familiar with this backyard. When his father was still the governor of Luzhou, this backyard was the residence of his father and mother.

And although Wang Song moved in, looking at the layout of the backyard, the layout of the backyard has not changed much, it is still the same.Going up the steps, Gongsun Ce lowered his head, and saw some cockroach and mosquito corpses beside the steps and the door, Gongsun Ce subconsciously grabbed Bao Zheng's sleeve.

Bao Zheng paused, turned his head, and saw Gongsun Ce staring at the steps seriously with his head down. Following Gongsun Ce's line of sight, he saw the cockroaches on the steps.

Bao Zheng straightened his face, squatted down, and looked at the corpses of cockroaches and mosquitoes scattered on the steps, although there were not many, but there were some abnormal ones.After watching for a while, Bao Zheng raised his head and whispered to Gongsun Ce, "It seems to smell like spices."

Gongsun Ce has actually smelled it a long time ago. His nose has always been sensitive. Although the fragrance is very thin now, he can still smell it. And such a faint smell of spices... Gongsun Ce can only think of one person, and that person is Chang rain!

"Go!" Bao Zheng got up and walked up the steps.After taking a few steps to the gate, Bao Zheng gently opened it.The door opened with a creak, and the smell of spices still hits the face.

Gongsun Ce looked down, the ground was very clean, and he didn't see much corpses of cockroaches and mosquitoes, but the smell... could still be smelled, and behind the desk, there was a corpse sitting without a head, but dressed in king Loose official uniform.

"Is he really dead?!" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but screamed.His eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.

"That's not necessarily true." Gongsun Ce said lightly, keeping his eyes on Bao Zheng, watching Bao Zheng walk to the left of the corpse, his eyebrows fixed in thought.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, turned his head and asked, "Why?"

"Because he has no head, he just wears Wang Song's official uniform. The official uniform does not necessarily represent himself!" Gongsun Ce said, walking to Bao Zheng's side, following Bao Zheng's line of sight, Wang Song's hand... Rough.

Bao Zheng turned over Wang Song's palm again, there was a thick callus in the palm.Bao Zheng stared at the cocoon, then suddenly turned his head and said to Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao, come here!"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly ran over, "Brother Bao!"

"Come, your hand!" Bao Zheng said with a serious face.

Zhan Zhao spread out his hands in a daze, raised his head in confusion, "Brother Bao, what are you doing here?"

Bao Zheng didn't answer, he grabbed Zhan Zhao's palm and looked at it carefully. Gongsun Ce looked down, and sure enough, there were thick calluses in Zhan Zhao's palm, though not as thick as Wang Song's.

"As expected..." Gongsun Ce murmured in a low voice.

And Bao Zheng let go of Zhan Zhao's hand, turned his head to look at the corpse sitting without a head, squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "Look around, see if there are any other clues."

Gongsun Ce nodded, turned around and looked around, while Lu Yun saw Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce carefully inspecting the vases on the shelf one by one, and suddenly remembered what happened in the academy last night, so he hurriedly said, "That's right. , Last night, a cat seemed to have broken into Dean Ying's room."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then turned around hastily, "You mean a wild cat?!"

When Zhan Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned around hastily, but he turned too fast, and accidentally knocked down the vase on the shelf, so, with a bang, the vase fell to the ground and shattered!

Zhan Zhao's face turned pale, he looked up at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce who were stupefied in fear, and said softly, "I didn't mean it, I..."

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce stared at the broken vase as if they didn't hear it. Then, Gongsun Ce moved first and walked slowly towards the broken vase.Zhan Zhao looked left and right, looking with some trepidation.

Gongsun Ce stared at the corner of the broken vase, and slowly picked it up to see that there was actually a Chinese character Cui written on the vase!Bao Zheng, who was also squatting down, picked up another piece of broken porcelain, which had the word "抱" written on it!Gongsun Ce stared at the tiles in Bao Zheng's hand for a while, lowered his head, and began to pick them up one by one, and Bao Zheng also picked them up one by one, and soon, the two put the tiles together, as if it was that The couplet on the altar!

——On the mountain, the white mountain embraces thousands of emerald greens; the water in the water, the black water embraces red!

"Let's go!" Bao Zheng suddenly pulled Gongsun Ce up and said.After finishing speaking, he dragged Gongsun Ce out of the room.

"Hey! Brother Bao, Brother Gongsun, where are you going? Wait for me!" Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and then chased after him while shouting.

Rushing to the front hall, the Eighth Sage King was having tea with a man who looked like a general.

The Eighth Sage King looked at the eager Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce in surprise, "But do you have a clue?"

"My lord! We are going to the territory of the Yi clan!"

"The Kuyi clan?" The Eight Sage King was taken aback, then frowned, "That's the only foreign race outside Luzhou City, with no more than a thousand people. Why? This case is related to the Kuyi clan?"

"My lord knows about the Yi clan?" Gongsun Ce was very surprised.

The Eighth Sage King smiled slightly, "The Kuyi people are also the people of our Great Song Dynasty, how could I not know?"

Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "My lord! It's urgent! Let's talk as we walk, okay?"

The Eighth Sage King nodded slightly, then turned around and said to the rough-looking general behind him, "General Liu, let's go together, maybe we can also find some news about Mudu Tong."

Hearing Mu Dutong, Gongsun Ce looked at the general in surprise, Mu Dutong is here? ?

Seeing Gongsun Ce's surprised expression, the Baxian King said, "Mu Dutong came to Luzhou a while ago, but he was stationed outside the city of Luzhou and did not enter the city. For some reason, he suddenly lost the news. This is Deputy General Liu. When I heard that the king is coming to Luzhou, I came to tell you."

Bao Zheng just nodded slightly, and didn't ask any questions, but Gongsun Ce gradually understood that Mu Dutong came quietly, it must be for the treasure of the Yi clan!

A few people came to the outskirts of Luzhou, followed the map taken out from the Luzhou government office, and searched all the way.

On the way, Bao Zheng briefly talked about the case. After hearing this, the Baxian King frowned, "It seems that both this king and Grand Master Pang have been used by others!"

Master Pang?Gongsun Ce paused, turned around and asked, "My lord, did Grand Master Pang also receive such a letter?"

The Baxian King sighed softly, "Otherwise, why do you think Wang Song came to Luzhou?"

Is Wang Song a member of Grand Master Pang?Gongsun Ce was startled.

"I heard that Wang Song came to Luzhou, and I thought it was a bit strange before. Wang Song's talent is superficial, and he is arrogant and mean. The case that happened in Luzhou made the Holy Majesty attach great importance to Luzhou. He should never be sent here at this moment. Luzhou was the right one, but Grand Master Pang pushed Wang Song to the position of governor of Luzhou against all odds. This king missed this matter because of something else, so he had to let Wang Song come, but he also felt strange in his heart. Originally, Taishi Pang and the king agreed on the disposal of Luzhou, but for some reason, Taishi Pang insisted on asking Wang Song to come here? After the king received the letter, he saw the Luzhou Er on the letterhead. Words, this king has a slight feeling that the matter of Wang Song has something to do with this letter? Out of temptation, this king showed the letter to Grand Master Pang. When Grand Master Pang saw it, he also took out a letter. It's exactly the same! Both the king and Grand Master Pang felt that something was wrong, because Grand Master Pang couldn't come because of his busy schedule, so this king rushed here overnight." Ba Xian Wang said with a frown.

Several people were very confused after hearing this, but Bao Zheng walked away after hearing it, Gongsun Ce quickly turned around and followed, Bao Zheng quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain after Gongsun Ce followed go.The Eight Sage King looked at the backs of the two men, especially when he saw Bao Zheng quicken his pace after Gongsun Ce followed... The corners of the Eight Sage King's mouth twitched slightly.

After entering the mountain, after following the signs on the map for a few laps, I finally found the residence of the Yi people.
