ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng and Qingluan arrived at Yizhuang together.

Dendrobium and Bao Zheng were waiting for them, and Bao Zheng's face was still suppressed with anger.

Lu Zheng hurriedly quickened his pace: "But did you find any clues?"

Just as Bao Zheng was about to say something, he suddenly saw Lu Zheng's wounds all over his body, so he couldn't care less immediately, and hurriedly said, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Qingluan had already bandaged Lu Zheng's injury on the way, but there was no way to cover up the blood. Lu Zheng didn't want to go to the hospital because of this kind of skin trauma. For him, the current case was much more important.

Lu Zheng briefly talked about the pursuit, but skipped over the fact that An Zicheng and the others were the king of Wei, and only vaguely replaced it with a third-party force.Qingluan couldn't help but take another look at him, he knew that Lu Zheng didn't want Bao Zheng and the others to get involved in the royal affairs, in his opinion it was a bit of a woman's benevolence, but he didn't say much.

Bao Zheng didn't speak directly, but cupped his hands and said, "I still don't know what to call this person?"

Qingluan also returned the salute: "I'm next, Qingluan."

Lu Zheng suddenly realized, and quickly said: "He is a member of the King of Chu, and he is one of his own. If you have anything to say, just say it."

After hearing this, Dendrobium nodded and said: "I have already checked the things sent back by the adults. There is no hair on the skin, and the lines are very deep. It should be the skin on the edge of the palm, and the edge of the palm of the right hand of the unknown corpse is indeed There were signs of skin peeling off, and it didn't seem to come off naturally from decay, so it's certainly possible that it was from the same body."

Bao Zheng went on to say: "There are two kinds of fabrics, one is silk, white and a bit old, but it can still be seen that it is a very good material, this should be the middle coat worn by the deceased, and the other is soap silk Cotton, like the fabric used in . . . military uniforms."

Lu Zheng had already guessed these, and he asked directly: "Has the person's identity been found out?"

Bao Zheng and Dendrobium looked at each other, and then said: "Maybe it's Fang Rong, Captain Zhuliang."

Lu Zheng was surprised, Nanxia County is not a military important place, so there is not a large number of troops stationed here, the county lieutenant is the highest military commander in a county, and there are two school lieutenants below the county lieutenant, among them Zhuliang school lieutenant It can be said that he is the confidant of the county lieutenant and can directly control the military force of this county. Why was such a person killed in Qingxi County?

"Who else knows about this besides you?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "When we found out that the deceased might be a military general, we had already driven everyone out. Thanks to the old Youtiao's inquiries these days, Fang Rong was a fierce general. Many people have seen his appearance, and he is left-handed, which is very consistent with the deceased. However, we are only guessing and cannot be sure."

But Lu Zheng was almost sure, he said to Qingluan: "I want to write a letter to the King of Chu, can I trouble you to send it there for me?"

Qingluan frowned: "Aren't you going to see His Highness in person?"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "I am a court official, how can I leave at will?"

Qingluan paused, before saying: "If it's about the sea chart, His Highness should already know about it by now."

Lu Zheng opened his eyes wide.

Qingluan coughed: "Not long after you got the chart, I secretly copied a copy and sent someone to send it to His Highness. I think His Highness already has a plan in mind."

Lu Zheng suddenly felt very helpless, even though he knew that Rong Zhen was out to protect him, this feeling of having no privacy was really hard for him to accept.

Rong Zhen still doesn't know that his image has been completely destroyed by his incomprehensible subordinates. He has no choice but to send Qingluan to protect Lu Zheng. The war in northern Xinjiang is so intense that it is really impossible to deploy too many people to protect him. Although Lu Zheng and Qingluan have some flaws in their personalities, at least they have strong kung fu.

Qingluan didn't feel that he wasn't taken seriously, Rongzhen arranged it, and he happily accepted it, but Lu Zheng was different from Rongzhen's various open and hidden arrows every day, Qingluan inevitably became a little slack after protecting him for a while , This is what makes people take advantage of the loopholes.

Rong Zhen didn't know about this yet, what he was holding in his hand was the sea chart that Qingluan sent people to copy.

Song Zhiyi and Nie Zhishu sat under him.When Song Zhiyi moved the chess pieces they buried a long time ago, he discovered that there was a faint handwriting of King Wei in the royal family of the Jie people. This discovery made Rong Zhen immediately pay attention to it.Rong Zhen has been in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has Ye Xiao's assistance. He knows the Su Yiwu family very well. Su Yiwuya is indeed capable and ambitious, but the eldest prince should not be underestimated. Rong Zhen never imagined that Su Yiwuya would turn out to be Will sit on the throne so smoothly.

As early as returning to northern Xinjiang, Rong Zhen ordered a thorough investigation of the cause, but now that he has found it, it is a big trouble.

Song Zhiyi couldn't help it anymore, and said directly: "What does King Wei mean by provoking a war in the northern borders on the one hand, and provoking conflicts between pirates and the court on the other? He wants to fight between snipe and clam for the fisherman's benefit? But?" He doesn't even see if he has such an appetite!"

Rong Zhen put down the chart and said calmly: "He didn't want to start a war, he just wanted to force me to confront His Majesty."

"what?"

"I didn't expect Su Yiwuya to go to war so hastily. The Jieren's civil strife has just settled. It is reasonable for him to resolve his internal worries first, and then fight with us after recuperating. But now that the Jieren are suffering heavy casualties, he doesn't care about it. This shows that he The imperial court has not yet been fully controlled, it is only because we are consuming the opposition forces."

Nie Zhishu said: "When he completely controls the imperial court, he will negotiate peace with us, act like he is being forced by the traitor, and then compensate some gold and silver horses, and the matter will naturally be exposed. By the way, between the master and the emperor Plant a thorn in between."

Rong Zhen nodded: "Now it seems that we are winning steadily, but Su Yiwu's elite soldiers have not retreated, but they have forced us into a dilemma. In this way, in this world, except for my uncle, I will I can't think of anyone else."

When the King of Wei regained the Nanman back then, he used such a method of leveraging his strength to take the Nanman into his pocket almost without a single soldier, and even won a lot of good reputation.

Song Zhiyi frowned deeply, isn't it a dilemma?It's not even fighting now, and it's not even if we don't fight.

Nie Zhishu put aside these things, and asked Rong Zhen, "Does the master think this chart is real?"

Rong Zhen nodded: "It's true."

"That……"

"But Your Majesty won't believe that this sea chart is real." Rong Zhen interrupted him, "After the first battle in Northern Xinjiang, he will become more and more afraid of me. If there is a chance to consume my troops, He'll be happy to do it."

Nie Zhishu slammed his fist on the table: "It's so hateful!"

Rong Zhen didn't show any resentment, instead he said calmly: "I didn't know King Wei well back then, and he was suspected of killing my mother, how could he be sure that I would be on his side? ?”

This is also what Song Zhiyi is puzzled about. When it comes to hatred, the relationship between Rong Zhen and him is probably even worse.If King Wei hadn't led troops into the palace, I'm afraid my aunt would not have died. No matter who killed my aunt, King Wei would always be responsible.

Nie Zhishu directly frowned and said, "It's better to find a way to find the old lair of King Wei, and the subordinates will lead someone to kill him directly!"

Song Zhiyi was speechless: "Big man, you said it lightly. If you really think that Ye Xiao is omnipotent, if you can find it so easily, I would wonder if this is the King of Wei."

Their generation grew up listening to the stories of King Wei when they were young. Even though they later hated him for various reasons, they did not doubt his ability, otherwise they would not abandon the things in hand. Just because of this sea chart that is suspected to have come from the hands of King Wei.

Rong Zhen got much more information than Lu Zheng, so he was able to find the shadow of King Wei's behavior from it, and it was precisely because of this that he felt that there was something strange in it.

"Has the person sent to the Western Regions not replied yet?" Rong Zhen asked.

Song Zhiyi shook his head: "The Western Region is vast, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find."

Rong Zhen didn't say a word. The reason why he insisted on finding Qian Facao was not only because of his ability, but also how much did he know about the events of that year?There must be a reason for King Wei's abnormal behavior, but he doesn't know it yet.

Song Zhiyi asked: "Then what is your Highness planning to do about Nanxia County?"

Rong Zhen paused, and then said: "You pick a few more prudent ones from Ye Xiao, and send them to Qingxi County first, and follow Qingluan's orders for now. When the fighting here subsides, I will naturally go there in person of."

Song Zhiyi was a little hesitant: "But Qingluan..." He did not deny Qingluan's high martial arts skills, but this person has always been a little out of tune, and Song Zhiyi was really afraid that he would poke something into the basket.

"Let Qingluan reveal her identity and follow Lu Zheng."

Song Zhiyi opened his eyes wide: "I think that Young Master Lu knows the truth, and he must want to scratch you to death."

Rong Zhen didn't know what he thought of, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head and said: "He has a sense of propriety, he won't mess around like this."

Song Zhiyi rubbed the goose bumps on his body, and asked Nie Zhishu beside him solemnly, "Do you feel a little cold?"

Nie Zhishu gave him a cold look: "If you want to linger in the flowers without restraint, let the military doctor prescribe you two medicines."

Song Zhiyi was so enraged that he was half dead: "You idiot who can't make jokes!!"

"Okay, stop making trouble." Rong Zhen glanced across, and the two of them stopped immediately.

"Even though we don't understand King Wei's intentions, he was able to quietly influence Su Yiwuya, which shows Ye Xiao's slackness. Starting today, Ye Xiao's training will be tripled."

Song Zhiyi's face collapsed, but he could only agree.

But Nie Zhishu asked, "What about the Northern Border Army?"

Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Su Yiwuya wants to use us to get rid of his political opponents, so we will do as he wishes. We just hope that he will not regret giving us this opportunity in the future."
