ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng didn't know how he got back. This was different from the previous two cases. He could treat the two deceased as specimens in the autopsy room, but Fang Zhilan was different. She is obviously still a living person!

Lu Zheng entered the yard in a daze, and seeing his eldest brother's sedan chair in the yard, he immediately ran towards Feihong Yard as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

However, before entering, he smelled a smell of medicine, and then heard his sister-in-law Pei's low cry.

Lu Zheng slowed down his pace, and through the half-open door, he saw that his eldest brother's shirt had been taken off, revealing a large bruise on his shoulder, and Mrs. Pei wiped the medicine on him with tears in his eyes.

Lu Che looked at her helplessly: "Okay, the injury is not serious, don't cry."

"How can the emperor hit such a heavy hand!" Pei's tears fell on his shoulders, "It's not your fault that this case can't be solved, he doesn't scold Liu Shangshu or those Facao, why should he take it out on you... ..."

"All right……"

"It's a good thing Mother doesn't know, otherwise I should worry about you again... Hey, otherwise, I'd better find a doctor to take a look, this bruise needs to be rubbed open..."

With Lu Zheng's departure, Pei's and Lu Che's voices became increasingly blurred.

Lu Zheng returned to Zhuqin Residence, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the curtain above the bed.Thinking of the elder brother's patient teaching in the original owner's memory, when he was young, he was like a towering tree protecting him, and as he grew up, every time he got into trouble and cleaned up the mess for him, he became more and more confused whether it was his own memory or the original owner's memory, It is also becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the boundary line crossed.

At the beginning, he received all the memories of "Lu Zheng", but he knew very well that he was not the domineering third young master Lu, he was the cheerful and generous Lu Zheng who had a wide range of friends in modern times, he had parents, relatives and friends, and he had his own There are life trajectories.However, as he got along with the people of the British government in the past few months, this boundary is gradually blurring, and he is gradually integrating into this era and this family.

Lu Zheng's injury reminded him that no matter whether the memory is true or not, this feeling is true. He already regards Lu Che as his elder brother and everyone in the British government as his relatives.

After thinking this through, Lu Zheng turned over and sat up.

"Come on! Work hard! Solve the case as soon as possible!"

Lu Zheng raised his fighting spirit and walked outside. He will definitely solve the case as soon as possible. Only in this way can Jian Yu be innocent and justice for the deceased is the only thing he can do for his elder brother.

The news of the emperor beating Lu Che in anger quickly spread from the palace secretly, and a secret letter was stuffed into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and let out.

The snow-white pigeon headed south all the way, and finally landed in an exquisite courtyard. Unlike Yanjing, where the autumn wind was bleak, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were still lush and lush, and they were arranged exquisitely.

One person took out the secret letter from the bamboo tube, walked through the long corridor, and finally came to a carved wooden door.

"Your Highness, a letter from Yanjing has arrived."

There was a low cough from inside the wooden door, and a low voice said: "Bring it in."

A guard in black immediately came out from the dark, took the secret letter and sent it in. When the wooden door opened and closed for a short time, only two people could be seen sitting on the table playing chess, one of them was Liang Jue, the deputy commander of the Golden Armored Guard. As for the other person, it is His Royal Highness the King of Chu who stirred up the pool of water in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Wang Rongzhen's left arm was injured, and it was hung in front of his chest with a bandage. He was tall and tall. He lived in the frontier all the year round. , but overshadowed the handsome appearance.

Liang Jue was sweating profusely under the gaze of these eyes.

The guard showed the secret letter to Rong Zhen, and seeing him nodding, he put the secret letter into the incense burner.

Rong Zhen put Bai Zi down, and said calmly: "Commander Liang seems a little restless?"

Liang Jue forced a smile and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has superb chess skills, and the last general is willing to bow down." He had no intention of playing chess at all. He was cheated by the King of Chu as soon as he came to Yangzhou, and then he was put under house arrest in this courtyard , until all the dust settled, the master's arrangement was messed up, and the power was almost uprooted, which made him want to vomit blood just thinking about it.

Rong Zhen tapped the chessboard lightly with his index finger: "This is the middle game, do you want to admit defeat?"

Liang Jue gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness, do you know that Jiangnan is in chaos now, what you did was just a moment of anger, but the result is that everyone is in danger, and now the shortage of officials in the state capitals in Jiangnan is almost reached Halfway through, if it continues like this, within half a month, Jiangnan will definitely fall into chaos, and the people in such a rich place will be destitute, which will definitely affect the entire Great Xia Dynasty, can you take this responsibility?"

Rong Zhen tapped the chessboard again with his index finger: "Yes."

Liang Jue was stuck in his throat with this one word.

"It seems that Commander Liang doesn't want to play chess today." Rong Zhen said calmly, "Come here, send Commander Liang back."

Two guards in black walked in immediately outside the door: "Commander Liang, please."

Liang Jue was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of him, so he could only be angrily led away from the courtyard by the black-clothed guards.

After he left, a man in purple clothes came out from behind the screen, waving a gold-sprinkled folding fan, and sat down with a smile on the seat where Liang Jue sat before: "Why don't I have a game with His Highness King Chu?" ?”

Rong Zhen's fingers flicked across the chessboard, disrupting the game.

The man in purple suddenly yelled in dissatisfaction: "No way! Is that why you don't want to play with me?!"

"You played too badly." Rong Zhen said mercilessly, "Have you found out?"

"He is very cautious, and he can't see the person standing behind him for the time being." The man shook his fan, "At first, I thought there was nothing to investigate about a deputy commander of the Golden Armored Guard who had no soldiers and no power, but now he has aroused his interest. "

"There are people who you, Song Zhiyi, can't find out?" Rong Zhen thought thoughtfully, "Perhaps, the person standing behind him may not be the prince."

"This is a good idea!" Song Zhiyi folded his fan, tapped his palm, and said angrily, "Why didn't I think of that!"

Rong Zhen frowned: "You go out for a trip, and this is the only gain?"

"Of course not." Song Zhiyi said enthusiastically, "Do you know about a murder case that happened in Yanjing before? It is said that the human skin was peeled off, which is extremely terrifying! The Ministry of Punishment investigated for half a month, but they didn't find any clues, but This murderer committed crimes one after another, and it is said that the whole Yanjing is panicked. But this is not the point, do you know what the point is?"

Facing Song Zhiyi's expectant eyes, Rong Zhen replied coldly: "If you don't say anything, get out."

"...Okay." Song Zhiyi said that one must be able to bend and stretch, "The point is that Lu Che, who is judging the case this time, was smashed by His Majesty with a teacup in the court hall, and there are rumors that His Majesty slept in the Mingcui Palace of the imperial concubine the night before. .”

"so what?"

Seeing that Rong Zhen was getting impatient, Song Zhiyi didn't dare to keep it up: "I heard that the noble concubine originally wanted to marry the second daughter of the British princess to her natal nephew, but after being rejected by the princess, she always held a grudge, so she took this opportunity to give it to her." Lu Che made a trip."

"Hey, the poor fourth prince has been working so hard. He provoked the conflict between Han Er and Lu San earlier, directly turning the two families into enemies, cutting off the way of the eldest prince, and ended up on fire in his own way. Thinking about it, it's quite pitiful. "Song Zhiyi said happily, completely oblivious to Rong Zhen's expression.

"For you to be a secret agent, it seems that you are still condescending, but you have special talent in the face of the parents." Rong Zhen said expressionlessly.

Song Zhiyi yelled unhappily: "What kind of parents are short-changed, can't you see? The fourth prince cut the way for the eldest prince to win over the British government, but he was given another slap in the face. Now that both sides are hurting, I'm afraid they are even more eager to win over something." People, and is there anyone more popular than Your Highness the King of Chu in this whole court? When you return to Beijing after a while, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people in the city."

Rong Zhen was noncommittal.

"Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"What's so surprising about something you can tell at a glance?"

Song Zhiyi was hit by him continuously, and her whole body was numb: "Cousin, you can't find the princess like this, do you know that?"

Rong Zhen glanced at him: "If you say one more word, you will go back to northern Xinjiang."

"Okay, okay...I won't say anything." Song Zhiyi hurriedly shut up, but remembered something, "I have one last word."

"..."

"It's Lu San. It is said that after being injured, the whole person has settled down a lot. Not only that, but he also seems to be secretly investigating this skinning case. It seems that he is much more reliable than the idiots from the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Song Zhiyi Said, "We have been looking for Qian Facao for so many years and there is no news. If Lu San has the ability, why not let him try?"

Rong Zhen listened to his words and fell into deep thought.

Song Zhiyi held the handle of the fan and tapped on the palm of his hand again: "We have searched almost all over the Central Plains these years, but there is no news at all, and the old man is too good at hiding."

"There is also the Western Region." Rong Zhen said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to go to the Western Region when things happen here. He was already old when he left Yanjing, even if he left, he would not be too far after all."

"Then I wish you all your wishes come true." Song Zhiyi sighed, "Most of the people involved in this matter were silenced back then. In addition to the age, we still have too few clues."

"Continue to investigate." Rong Zhen said irrefutably, "I don't believe that anything can be foolproof, and if you continue to investigate, you will always find a gap."

Song Zhiyi immediately cheered up: "Don't worry, I'll take care of Yanjing's affairs." After hesitating for a while, he said, "Also, the case of Yanjing seems very strange to me. I'm afraid it was Qian Facao who came here It may not be able to solve it, if Lu San can solve the case, doesn't it mean that he has the ability?"

"You have faith in him."

Song Zhiyi giggled, "Just watch it as a play. Wouldn't it be interesting to see a rebellion by a prodigal dandy?" Seeing that Rong Zhen didn't refute, his eyes lit up, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
