Express delivery is a high-risk occupation

Zheng Ze held his breath, jumped away from the cloud of white smoke, and when he looked up again, there was no sign of the man around.

The guards also arrived at this time.

He sighed annoyedly, put the knife back into its sheath, took a lantern from the guard's hand, and shone it on the two black shadows lying on the ground, his pupils shrank sharply.

The two people lying on the ground had blood dripping from their eyes and ears, almost exactly the same as those bandits on Huailiang Mountain half a year ago.

He quickly reached out and took off the black scarves that were covering the faces of the two people. As expected, blood was also seeping from the nose and mouth.

Zheng Ze's face was slightly stern. In this way, those bandits on the mountain were really killed by that person just now?

In terms of his martial arts that can kill all bandits in just a few breaths, if he really wanted to assassinate the emperor, he would definitely not back down just because he met him.

He ventured to the emperor's palace in the middle of the night but it was not an assassination, so what was he doing here?

Is he really just passing by today?

Zheng Ze waved his hand to let the guards carry him down, holding on to the saber by his waist and thinking to himself, a few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head, "Come on, follow me to the Treasure Pavilion!"

"Cut, it turns out to be a golden bead from the East China Sea!" Li Drill in the Treasure Pavilion clutched his head that was in pain like a burst, disappointedly picked out the plum-sized bead from the yellow brocade box, and threw it behind him.

Tianhu hooked the bead with its tail, sent the bead into its own mouth, and swallowed it with a thud.The East China Sea golden bead was produced by a hundred-year-old clam, so it would be a waste to throw it away, so it's better to eat it.

"Your Highness, someone is here." Tianhu moved his ears, and quickly rushed to Li Mandrill's side.

"Tsk, that guy is a dog, bite and won't let go." Li Mang glanced angrily at the guy in the unicorn suit outside the window, and sat on Tianhu with his head covered, "Xueyi, let's go."

Tianhu: ...

Foxes are canines, humans are not!

Zheng Ze glanced over the fainted bodyguards under the steps, waved his hand to let the guards behind him surround the Treasure Pavilion, and rushed in with a group of people.

The people in the Treasure Pavilion went to the building, and the guards took the two eunuchs to search the Treasure Pavilion carefully, and then told Zheng Ze that all the organs in the Treasure Pavilion were intact, and most of the items were in the Treasure Pavilion. , only one orb presented by King Dongli last year was missing.

Orb?

Zheng Ze lowered his eyelashes, and the flickering candlelight cast a few faint shadows on his unicorn suit.If he remembered correctly, the hundreds of boxes of belongings that were collected from the bandits' den in the inn back then disappeared without a night pearl after the man disappeared.

In this way, the goal of this guy with extremely high martial arts is the orb?

On August [-]th, the full moon was shining brightly, but a shocking murder occurred in the imperial city.

More than [-] people in Huang Lang's house, the right servant of the Ministry of officials, all died overnight in a miserable state.Only the lady servant who took the youngest son home to visit relatives and the personal maid around her survived.

When this matter spread to the palace, Emperor Zhengcheng couldn't help but Longyan was furious, under the emperor's feet, how could Xiaoxiao be so arrogant, and ordered the Criminal Department and Jin Yiwei to solve the case as soon as possible within five days.

Zheng Ze happened to be on duty the night before, and just after returning home to sleep, he was woken up by Lin Qizhang rushing in the door.

"My lord, something has happened." Lin Qizhang rushed into Zheng Ze's room in a hurry. Dong Heng outside the door stamped his feet angrily, and had no choice but to follow into the room.

Zheng Ze's father is the Minister of the Household Department, his elder sister Zheng Guifei is also in favor, and the Zheng family is considered to be in the sky, but Zheng Ze is not arrogant and extravagant.He has always been low-key, and even rented a small courtyard two streets away from Beizhen Fusi for the convenience of being on duty. There is usually only an old servant who guards the gate and a servant who does laundry and other chores in the courtyard. Naturally, no one is there. Can stop Lin Qizhang.

"It's okay, you go out first." Zheng Ze nodded to the old servant who couldn't stop him and had to rush over behind the two, then looked at Lin Qizhang and Dong Heng, "What happened?"

Seeing Zheng Ze's snow-white undershirt, Lin Qizhang also regretted his recklessness. He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Officials was killed last night."

"A total of 51 people died. It is estimated that when we go back later, the order from the higher-ups for supervision should come." Dong Heng added.

Zheng Ze was not only their leader, but also their backbone. Jin Yiwei would not be able to stay out of the incident when such a tragedy happened, so they rushed to Zheng Ze for advice as soon as they got the news.

Hearing what they said, Zheng Ze was also a little surprised. He froze for a moment before getting up and getting dressed, "Is there any other news?"

"It is said that the people in Huang's mansion died in extremely miserable conditions, bleeding from their seven orifices." Dong Heng spoke again.

"Bleeding from the seven orifices?" Zheng Ze paused slightly as he was straightening his neckline, and a shadow of someone jumped out of his eyes.

Sure enough, when the three of them hurried back to Beizhen Fusi, the orders from above had been delivered, and Zheng Ze immediately gathered his staff and rushed to Huangfu.

The yamen servants who were in charge of guarding the perimeter naturally did not dare to stop Zheng Ze and the others, and quickly stepped aside.

Zheng Ze waved his hand, Dong Heng led the two people to the neighbor's place to inquire, and the others followed Zheng Ze into the Huang Mansion.

The smell of blood came over his face, and within a few steps of entering the gate, there were several corpses lying here and there. Judging by their clothes, they should all be servants of the Huang Mansion.

Except for the dirty and blue blood from the seven orifices, the clothes of those people were all a little damaged, but there were no obvious fatal wounds.

"Qizhang, go and ask the yamen servant if there are any valuable jewels in Huangfu." Zheng Ze instructed Lin Qizhang.

"Jewelry?" Lin Qizhang scratched his head in doubt, turned and left.

An hour and a half later, Zheng Zecai took people out of Huang's mansion, but there was still no clue about the matter.

When passing Yunlai Building, Zheng Ze suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting on the window seat on the second floor.

"Why is that Huang man so disappointing, at least live one more day!" Li Mandrill sat on the window seat on the second floor of Yunlai Restaurant, looking in the direction of Huang's mansion, he picked up his cup and drank it down in a gulp.

If you live one more day, you will be able to sneak in to find the beads without anyone noticing.Fortunately, there are official posts everywhere, and it is too difficult to find an opportunity to sneak in.

Tianhu, who turned into a charming girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words, "Your Highness, if you weren't habitually lost, you should have been able to arrive at Huangfu two days ago, okay?"

"Long time no see." Zheng Ze lifted his clothes and sat down opposite Li Mandrill.

Lin Qizhang and Dong Heng stood downstairs in Yunlai Building and looked up frequently, wondering why their adults were still in the mood to go and drink with friends at this time.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Zheng Ze, Li Mang had a headache like a conditioned reflex, but he couldn't help it. In the two times when the pain was the worst, he saw this little boy every time.

"You also killed the people in the Huang Mansion, right?" Zheng Ze unceremoniously picked up the jug on the table and poured himself a glass.

Tianhu blinked his beautiful and smart eyes, looked at Zheng Ze, and then at Li Mandrill did not speak.

"nonsense."

"The 51 people in Huang's mansion all died of bleeding from the seven orifices," Zheng Ze said unhurriedly, playing with the thick white porcelain wine glass in front of him with his slender fingers, "the death is similar to that of the bandits who Huailiang Mountain back then. It's almost exactly the same as the assassin you killed in the palace."

"So what? Anyway, I didn't kill people." Li Drill raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"This one alone is enough for me to publish your sea arrest documents throughout the country. From then on, you will be unable to move an inch in the 35 provinces of my good country."

"

"How dare you!" Li Drill slapped his palm on the table, and the loud noise made everyone around look over.

"What are you looking at!" Li Mang stared, and everyone quickly turned back.

"You have no evidence at all!"

Zheng Ze smiled lightly, and his tone was rather rascal, "Jin Yiwei handles the case, what evidence do you want but can't find?"

Li Man snorted coldly, "Who is the big man in the Han Dynasty, the internal and external marquis in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the bad people in the Tang Dynasty, and you Jinyiwei, the little dog leg is getting more and more arrogant. Believe it or not, I will kill you immediately? "

"Then I'm afraid it's not just the arrest of documents at sea." Zheng Ze didn't show any fear at all.

Li Mandrill: ...

"Unless..." Zheng Ze raised the corners of his eyes slightly, "You can prove your innocence."

Tianhu blinked his big black and white eyes, "You mean, let us hand over the real murderer?" It is not difficult for them to catch the murderer. If it is not possible, they can ask His Highness to find the ghosts in the underworld to check the ghosts His life and cause of death are naturally clear, but why should he help this human being?

Zheng Ze nodded, "If you can prove that you didn't do it, then I will not only apologize to you, but also offer you the bead from Huangfu as an apology."

"You can send me if you say send me?" Li Mang looked at him suspiciously.This saves a lot of trouble.

"My name is Zheng Ze, and I live at No. 23 Liuye Lane. If I break my promise, you can come to my house and take my life at any time." Zheng Ze spread his hands.

Li Yao bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said to Zheng Ze, "Deal, but I have a question, how do you know I want that bead?"

"It was just a guess." Zheng Ze raised the corners of his lips slyly, "Now it's confirmed."

Li Mandrill: ...

Three days later, Zheng Ze got up early in the morning and just opened the door when a huge black shadow fell from the sky.

He sideways avoided, and a giant snake as thick as the mouth of a bowl fell into the yard. The giant snake turned over, flicked its tail fiercely, and knocked down the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. The maid who was drying clothes was almost scared. Dazed.

Li Drill sat on the roof smugly, "Boy, the murderer of Huang's family has been entrusted to you. It's up to you whether you can survive or not."

"Snake?" Zheng Ze looked up at Li Mandrill on the roof.

Li Mandrill raised his chin, "The people of the Huang Mansion killed its descendants and used them to cook soup, so they were killed by it."

At this time, the giant snake opened its mouth to bite Zheng Ze, and a stench immediately came from the air.

"It's a 700-year-old snake demon." Li Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Ze, with the expression that if you beg me, I will help you get rid of this snake.

"Oh." Zheng nodded as if suddenly enlightened, jumped up, took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his arms, and "slapped" it on the giant snake's forehead.

The giant snake froze and fell to the ground.

Zheng Ze landed on the ground, patted the dust on the corner of his robe, and sighed loudly, "I didn't expect the demon-subduing charms of those guys from the evil spirit office to be quite effective."

Li Mandrill: ...
