[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

There was a palm print on Huitong's body, and he also died of a broken heart, and there were traces of fighting with others before his death.

Other than that, there are no other clues on him.

Two martial arts masters in Jianghu died in a row. When Gongsun Ce came out of the Yamen, the two people standing at the door, Gongsun Ce still remembered, were from the Kongtong Sect and the Wuji Sect.At this time, if two people appear, nothing good will happen.

"Isn't this the guest of the Hua family, Sun Ce? Tsk tsk, it turns out that the Hua family is protected by the government, so it's no wonder that you don't have to pay for your life if you kill someone."

Just as Wang Chao and Ma Han were about to go up, Gongsun Ce gave him a look of persuasion, shook his head and ignored them, and planned to go straight back to Hua's house.

Bai Yutang has long been annoyed by these so-called Jianghu people, and has long wanted to find an opportunity to make a move, but seeing Gongsun Ce's appearance, he asked with composure: "Brother Gongsun, why don't you arrest them and teach them a lesson? Judging by their faces and arrogant appearance, they really hit me once I see them."

"Beating them, arresting them, isn't it just a matter of what they said?" Gongsun Ce shook his head and said, "Huamanlou is now missing, and two people died one after another. The clues point to the Hua family. If something happens again, unless we can get evidence to prove the Hua family's innocence."

"Mr. Gongsun, Playboy disappeared, but it's not a problem to protect himself with his ability, you see—"

"The deaths of Taoist Jiumo and Huitong are definitely not accidental. There must not be many people in this world who can make them die tragically." Gongsun Ce said, frowning: "Is the county magistrate still awake?"

Wang Chao shook his head and said, "No."

Gongsun Ce felt a little strange when he heard the words, logically speaking, the poison in the county magistrate's office was lighter than that of He Ying, why he hasn't woken up until now, is there something else hidden?Back at Hua's house, after dinner in a hurry, Gongsun Ce went back to the room, closed the door, and took a pen and paper to write down the clues of the case and the victim one by one, sorting out the ins and outs, and explaining what happened in the past few days Think about it carefully.

They came here from Yiye Town, but it was no coincidence that he was almost killed right after they settled down.

Immediately after the tragic death of the people on the ring, incidents happened one after another, all of which seemed to be inseparable from the Hua family.The ring was set up by the Hua family, and the hidden weapon was unique to the Hua family. Even the deaths of the two characters who appeared later were caused by members of the Hua family. All the evidence points to the Hua family.

The purpose of the people behind doing this is too clear, that is to ruin the Hua family's reputation.

Is it to harm the Hua family?

The lights in the room suddenly went out, Gongsun Ce's nerves tensed, his eyes quickly adapted to the darkness, and for some reason, he felt that the uninvited guest in the room was very familiar.

"...The building is full of flowers?"

"Go to the Yamen to check again. There are also the bodies of Taoist Jiumo and Huitong. Their deaths are not easy."

It really is full of flowers!

Gongsun Ce walked towards the figure in the darkness, anxious in his heart, he didn't pay attention to one of his feet, got caught by the leg of the stool, and threw himself forward, what hit was not the cold floor, but Hua Manlou's outstretched arm.Gongsun Ce grabbed the opponent's arm with his backhand and said eagerly, "Are you leaving again?"

The person in front of him in the darkness seemed to be smiling, his voice was very low, but Gongsun Ce heard it, a little annoyed, and wanted to withdraw his hand.

"Don't go, I'm in the dark."

"Hua Man Lou, let me ask you..."

"I know what you're going to ask, you know how I'm going to answer."

This time it was Gongsun Ce who was speechless, so he could only lower his head and withdraw his hand resentfully.Hua Manlou's breathing came closer, "This time the people are targeting the Hua family."

"We thought wrong at the beginning. This is a group of people. Those who want to kill me and those who want to kill Hua's family are the same forces." Cheek brushed: "Uh..."

Hua Manlou said: "The outside world is talking about my disappearance. My refusal to show up will make them think that their goal has been achieved. You continue to investigate the truth."

"Turn their attention away from the yamen. I'll go back and check tomorrow. Something's wrong, but I haven't thought of it yet." Gongsun Ce felt that the atmosphere was too weird and took a step back.

"I'll think of it."

"Your tone of voice is still annoying." Gongsun Ce lifted up the stool that he had tripped over just now, sat on it, looked up at Huamanlou who was hiding in the dark shadow in front of him, and said, "Huamanlou, you People are still so sure about what they decide, and you were like this before?"

Hearing that Hua Manlou was a little surprised, because Gongsun Ce didn't look like such a person, and his tone of voice was far from the usual Gongsun Ce.

Keenly aware that Gongsun Ce is not in a good mood right now.

"Someone is coming outside."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Manlou had disappeared into the room when Gongsun Ce turned around.

Annoyed, Gongsun Ce re-lighted the lamp, walked to the door and opened it, "Why is it this hour?"

"Brother Gongsun, why did the light in your room go out just now? I thought there was an assassin, but you turned it on again. It seems that my worry is unnecessary." Bai Yutang yawned: "I'm going to talk to Wang Chao Changing shifts, protecting you, an important person, is not easy at all, Brother Gongsun, you should rest earlier."

Gongsun Ce stepped aside, "Why don't you come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, I won't be able to fall asleep after drinking it." Bai Yutang waved his hands and turned to leave.

Gongsun Ce shook his head helplessly, closed the door and went back to the house, intending to turn on the light and go to sleep, but after another thought, he still lay on the bed with the light on.

In the cold morgue, Gongsun Ce raised his hand and waved away the dust in front of him, frowning as he walked around the room.Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Bai Yutang and the three stood there, motionless, as if they were puzzled by Gongsun Ce's behavior that didn't fit his appearance at all.

"Why do I feel that Mr. Gongsun is very similar to Mr. Bao?"

"Bao Zheng is also like this?"

"Not only that, but also laughing at the corpse."

"Hey! What a weirdo!"

Gongsun Ce looked at the two corpses in front of him, thought of Hua Manlou's words last night, and understood what he meant - Taoist Jiumo and Huitong didn't die from a broken heart, the cause of death must be something else.Gongsun Ce walked around the corpse, and suddenly stared at the corpse's head. With a flash of inspiration, he lifted the other's head slightly, squatted down and opened his eyes to carefully look at the back of the corpse's neck.

Very subtle, hidden in the nape of the neck.

Putting down Huitong's head and walking to Taoist Jiumo, Gongsun Ce suddenly realized the same action and the same discovery. No wonder Huamanlou's tone was so firm, because Huamanlou would not be the murderer at all, which shattered their hearts. It is impossible for someone to kill two people in a short period of time.

Taoist Jiumo and Huitong are not inferior in martial arts, even if they are defeated, they have to fight at least a hundred moves with each other.

It turns out that the strange thing is here.

"Mr. Gongsun, do you have any clues?"

"The truth will come to the surface soon." Gongsun Ce straightened up and walked towards the door. When he passed a wall, he sniffed and frowned again. Gongsun Ce slowed down and walked to the side, washing his hands. Jing said to Wang Chao: "Send someone to tear down that wall."

Wang Chao was startled: "This..."

"Tear down the wall, and the answer will come out." Gongsun Ce walked up the steps with his hands behind his back: "Ma Han, take someone to the gate of the county magistrate, and surround the magistrate's room. No one can come in or out!"

"Yes, Mr. Gongsun."

"Yutang, come with me to the dossier. The yamen's dossier should contain a record of the county magistrate's identity and his life before he took office." After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, Bai Yutang nodded and followed.

The yamen servants looked at each other, but seeing the appearance of the dynasty, and the power that only the big man in Beijing had before, they could only pick up their tools and start knocking on the wall.

Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou came to the file room, and when they opened the door, the dust inside indicated that no one had visited this room for a long time.Gongsun Ce coughed twice because of the choking, and Bai Yutang next to him couldn't avoid it, and quickly dodged away.

"Brother Gongsun, let me tell you what kind of broken place this is."

"This county magistrate is either a person who does nothing, or is too lazy, and even forgot to send someone to clean up here." Gongsun Ce covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and walked in, waving his other hand in front of him, trying to make the front of him clean. The dust dissipated, "You look for it from there, I'll look for it from here, and find out the details of this Lou Zhi County."

Now Bai Yutang understood Gongsun Ce's intentions: "Brother Gongsun, are you planning to—"

"Find the things first, and then I'm not sure if my suspicion is correct."

"kindness."

The two searched for a while on the bookshelf. Gongsun Ce suddenly squatted down and found the appointment records of Louzhi County on the bottom floor. He spread out the bamboo slips and looked at the ashes on it. There is a book on the other side of the hall, and the dust directly hits Gongsun Ce's face.

Gongsun Ce was choked back two steps, straightened his arms: "Bai Yutang!"

"Oh, Brother Gongsun, I didn't mean it." Bai Yutang apologized quickly, but there was no trace of apology in his tone.

After a while before opening his eyes, Gongsun Ce glared at Bai Yutang angrily, shook the bamboo slips, wiped off the dust on them with his sleeve, and carefully checked the records line by line.

"Sure enough...it's exactly what I guessed."

"what?"

"Go, go to the morgue now!"

Gongsun Ce put down the file in his hand, and hurried to the morgue.What Gongsun Ce couldn't understand last night, when he saw the dossier just now, he suddenly understood the mystery that he had been unable to solve for a long time. Now, he finally knows why.

Bai Yutang followed behind and didn't understand anything, but judging by Gongsun Ce's behavior, he must already know who the murderer was.

"Brother Gongsun, wait for me!"

Back in the morgue, as Gongsun Ce expected, there was an extra corpse on the ground, only bones remained, and the skull turned black.

Gongsun Ce walked down the steps, Wang Chao came forward and said: "Mr. Gongsun is really good at predicting things, he actually knows that there is another mechanism inside this wall, and there is a corpse hidden inside."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce nodded, squatted beside the corpse, took a piece of cloth to wrap it up, picked up the corpse, moved his gaze to the left leg bone of the corpse, frowned and examined it carefully, stood up after a while and said: "Contain the corpse , send someone to guard, we are now going to the county magistrate's room."

"Yes."

The group of people had just walked outside the door of the magistrate's room, when a person ran out in a panic, and bumped directly into Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce frowned, and helped the person who hit him, "You are so panicked! do what?"

"Hui, Mr. Hui, my lord is awake!"

"woke up?"

"just woke up."

Gongsun Ce nodded, let the man leave, and after signaling to the yamen who were guarding the door, he led Bai Yutang inside.Lou Zhixian was indeed awake, but he still looked weak.

Walking to the side of the bed, Gongsun Ce cupped his hands and said, "Gongsun Ce, late born, has seen Lou Zhixian before. I don't know how neat Lou Zhixian is?"

"Are you Gongsunzhen's only son, Gongsun Ce?"

"It's down."

"It's really a good-looking talent, with a dignified appearance, just like your father when he was young." Lou Zhixian's spirit improved a lot, and he lay on the bed and said: "Such a big case happened in Yangzhou, and so many lives were lost one after another. Thanks to you, Is there any whereabouts of the murderer now?"

Gongsun Ce replied with a smile: "I already know who the murderer is, but Lou Zhixian is not feeling well now, I want to wait another day, when Lou Zhixian is in better health, then start the interrogation."

"Really sure?"

"Yes."

"Well, the interrogation will start tomorrow."

"Thank you Louzhi County."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, and dealing with the other party's sincere greetings about Gongsun, after half an hour, Gongsun Ce came out of the room, winked at Wang Chao, and shook his head slightly.The dynasty understood, and stood guard on both sides with Ma Han, one on the left and one on the right, never leaving each other.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang thought of something, but he wasn't sure, he just said, "Brother Gongsun, Brother Hua's whereabouts are unknown, Hua Yixuan is unconscious now, this Lou magistrate..."

"Don't worry, Hua Yixuan will recover soon. I'll take his pulse and he will wake up in two days."

"Really?"

"En." Gongsun Ce was confident, tilted his head to Bai Yutang and said with a smile: "Once this matter is over, we will go to Dingyuan County and meet with Bao Zheng and the others."

Why?Find Bao Zheng and they will meet?

"What about Brother Hua?"

"What do you say?"

"Brother Hua is also with us?"

Gongsun Ce stopped for a while, stood there with his arms crossed and rubbed his chin, pretending to hesitate, which made Bai Yutang a little anxious, after all he felt that Hua Manlou's martial arts were very high, and he might be able to ask for advice on a move or two. He has the true biography of Xiangguo Temple, but he doesn't know much about martial arts, he is taught by the presiding officer, and he doesn't teach much.

If you want to win Zhan Zhao, you must have a reliable master.

"It's up to him."

Looking at Huamanlou himself?Bai Yutang thought for a while and caught up with Gongsun Ce.

If Hua Manlou chooses by himself, then he must go to Dingyuan County with Gongsun Ce!
