Qi Xiao saw some insights from looking at the account books in Dali Temple yesterday, and slowly figured out the way. It seems that he can grasp the clues from these vast chaos, and gradually he can calm down and not be irritable.

Seeing that Qi Xiao could sit still, Pei Hao continued to deal with other trivial matters in Dali Temple.

Chi Yue looked at Qi Xiao, then at Zong Sheng, and asked in an almost inaudible voice: "I don't need me to read the account books, do I?"

In the morning, Qi Xiao took Chi Yue out to Dali Temple. He thought he was going to interrogate the servants of the Naluo Mansion, but he didn't expect to be in a daze in the wing of Dali Temple.

Zong Sheng shook his head, made a silence gesture to Chi Yue, and never answered Chi Yue's question.

Two days ago, His Majesty ordered Chi Yue to follow Qi Xiao to investigate the case. Even though Chi Yuedang thought it was very interesting, the Tiance and Xuanji Second Battalions only listened to His Majesty's orders. This time, it was really unprecedented to transfer Chi Yue to follow Qi Xiao around. Chi Yue originally thought that the investigation of the case was the second priority, and keeping Qi Xiao's life was the first priority.

But rejecting Chi Yue's two-day observation, he faintly felt that he might be wrong. Qi Xiao didn't need his protection, not to mention that Bai Xiqiao and Zong Sheng around him were both good at skills, and Qi Xiao himself had enough. The power of self-preservation.

What's more, there are quite a few experts in the forbidden army who are suitable to be hidden guards, so it seems like a big deal for Tiance camp to come.

So it should be the other way around, protecting Qi Xiao is second, and investigating the case is the first?It can be said that Dali Temple is doing its part in the investigation of the case, so asking Qi Xiao and Tiance Ying to do it for him?Can the fifth and seventh princes, the Qin family and the Gongsun family sit idly by?

Chi Yue couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stop him from finding it interesting, very interesting.

He inadvertently glanced at Zong Sheng beside him, which was even more interesting by accident.

Qi Xiao quickly read through the account books, and then reorganized the case files. In the quiet wing room, there seemed to be only the sound of books being flipped.

"Dong dong."

Outside the door of the wing room, the clerk of Dali Temple knocked on the door, "Report to Your Highness the Ninth Highness, Mr. Pei, Mr. Cao from the Protectorate of Gyeonggi is here."

Qi Xiao closed the case file and folded it back to the original place, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Here we come."

Pei Hao asked suspiciously: "Did His Highness invite Mr. Cao?"

Qi Xiao smiled and stood up: "Please, Mr. Pei."

Pei Hao didn't ask any more questions, he also stood up, and together with Qi Xiao went to the front hall to meet Cao Weishan.

Before the group set foot in the front hall, they smelled the smell of blood.

"This...?" Pei Hao stepped into the hall door, and at first glance saw two sets of stretchers on the ground, one of which was covered with a white cloth, which was half-stained with blood, and there was a person lying on the other, also covered in a suit. Bloody, barely alive.

"See Your Highness Ninth Prince, Mr. Pei."

Cao Weishan frowned, bowed to Pei Hao and Qi Xiao, and explained, "The people captured by Wudu Mansion in Dongshi are very similar to what the servants of Luo Mansion described."

Qi Xiao stepped forward and reached out to uncover the body covered by the white cloth, and sure enough there was a mole under the corner of the eye and eyebrow.

"Have you checked your identity?"

Cao Weishan shook his head: "These two people are extremely skilled, the Wudu government took a lot of effort to surround them, but the two of them fought stubbornly, one died and the other was injured.

However, the living man never spoke a word, and his injuries were serious, so he might not last long, so the subordinate officials hurriedly sent him to Dali Temple, asking His Highness and Mr. Pei to make up their minds. "

"This..." Pei Hao's brows furrowed deeper as he watched the death and injury. These two not only confirmed the confession of Luo's servants, but also broke the clues of Luo Yu's case at the same time. It's really too coincidental !

Qi Xiao didn't seem to be worried at all, instead he smiled and congratulated Cao Weishan: "Master Cao is quick to do things, and he solved Lord Luo's case in just two days. Congratulations."

"Ah?!" Cao Weishan didn't quite understand what Qi Xiao meant. Could it be that he really wanted to close the case with a night thief who broke into the Dali Temple Qing's mansion and killed him by accident, then set fire to him and fled?

"Your Highness Nine! Master Luo has dedicated his life to his duties. Now that he is in such a catastrophe, how can he close the case in such a muddle? How can Lord Luo rest in peace? Such a murder happened in the capital of Yuan. Your Majesty is at ease?" Pei Hao is upright, he can't stand this kind of perfunctory and perfunctory behavior, and when he heard Qi Xiao's words, his eyes immediately turned red, and he couldn't care less about being upright and prudent.

Qi Xiao said to Pei Hao calmly, "Master Pei, don't worry, just listen to me."

Seeing that Pei Hao was about to lose his temper, Cao Weishan rushed up to persuade him: "Yes, this matter is of great importance, so we must be cautious. Your Highness may wish to listen to His Highness's opinion before making a decision."

Pei Hao suppressed his temper and looked at Qi Xiao, and waited for Qi Xiao to explain, but Qi Xiao unhurriedly approached the prisoner who vented more gas and breathed less, and said, "I know you were wronged, but now your brother died in vain , you have no way to recover, even if you have to go to the underworld to sue, it will not prevent you from talking about your grievances in Dali Temple."

The man stared at Qi Xiao fiercely, his eyes were full of resentment and grief, he gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty: "I...cough cough, I don't know anything!"

Qi Xiao smiled: "Okay, I understand."

One said that he didn't know, but Qi Xiao understood, what did he understand?Cao Weishan and Pei Hao glanced at each other, both of them were confused by Qi Xiao.

After the man finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out. Cao Weishan wanted to check it out but was stopped by Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao said to Pei Hao: "Master Pei, please do your best to heal him and take good care of him."

Pei Hao was stunned for a moment, Cao Weishan opened his mouth to speak, this man was clearly dying, but he couldn't speak out when he met Qi Xiao's determined gaze.

Pei Hao frowned, decided to trust Qi Xiao once, and ordered the living one to be carried down for careful treatment.

Qi Xiao asked Pei Hao and Cao Weishan to step back, and then said: "You two adults understand that they are just scapegoats, and this clue has been broken here."

"Hey! It's all because the people in Wudu Mansion are so aggressive. At least they can save a life and interrogate them carefully."

Cao Weishan said, "Your Highness kept that person, but you want to pretend that he was rescued, and lure the people behind the scenes?"

"I have this idea, but I'm afraid that ordinary bait can't catch big fish."

Qi Xiao took two steps back to give up the space around the corpse, and said to Chi Yue, "Check carefully and see if there are any clues."

Seeing that Qi Xiao was calm and relaxed, Cao Weishan seemed to have a good plan, so he couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Lord Luo's case up to now is all based on the servant's mouth, saying that it was a bandit, and he really sent us two.

That being the case, we might as well close the case as burglars. However, we are not saving the next one. He can also say that the servants who sneaked into the Luo Mansion to steal are all instigated by the servants. The man was killed by a servant and blamed on the two of them. "

Both Cao Weishan and Pei Hao were stunned, Qi Xiao opened his mouth and came, not only closing the case for Cao Weishan, but also framed the servants of the Luo Mansion by the way, isn't this case getting more and more confused? !

"What... what is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

"Lord Cao, Your Majesty has given you five days to close the case. Today is the third day. If the case cannot be closed before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lord Cao may not be able to escape the guilt. Given the current situation, it will not take a few days to clear this case.

But the time limit given by His Majesty for the Mid-Autumn Festival is not only for Mr. Luo to be fair, but also for Mr. Cao to appease the hearts of the people? "

Cao Weishan nodded, indeed, His Majesty must understand that this case is not easy to investigate, otherwise Qi Xiao and Tiance Ying would not be allowed to intervene, since it is difficult to investigate, why would he really ask him to investigate it within five days.

Pei Hao also understood what His Majesty meant, but he couldn't let this case just go by.

Before Pei Hao could speak, he heard Qi Xiao say: "Master Pei, the servants of the Luo Mansion are our only clues now and must be kept."

Pei Hao thought for a moment and understood what Qi Xiao meant. It was really suspicious that the servant of the Luo Mansion explained the bandit clearly. If the case was closed with the bandit, the servant would be the witness. After the case was closed, he would naturally be released. Once he left , this case is really going to be over, but if Qi Xiao's method is used to beat him up with the robber's confession, the servant can continue to be detained for retrial.

Pei Hao and Cao Weishan looked at each other and agreed to Qi Xiao's proposal.

While speaking, Chi Yue had finished examining the corpse.

"how?"

Chi Yue said: "His Royal Highness, two adults, the fatal injury was an arrow piercing through the chest. Even if he died, there were thirteen stab wounds on his body and one arrow wound on his calf."

"anything else?"

Hearing Qi Xiao's questioning, Chi Yue couldn't help but smile, if it's just such an ordinary operation that can be broken, why let him come, I really don't know whether to say whether Qi Xiao knows how to use people well or has a vicious vision.

"Also, this person is accustomed to using double swords, and his kung fu is fierce. He should be born in Yingzhou and Wu'an area. I think he is Wu'an double swords Zhao Ping, and the other is his brother Zhao Yuan."

After Chi Yue finished speaking, except for Qi Xiao's expression as usual, Cao Weishan and Pei Hao were both surprised, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know?"

"He has calluses on the palms of both hands and the tiger's mouth, and the positions are the same. The muscles in both arms are very strong. If he is one-handed, it will be different, so the weapons must be a pair.

As for the place of birth, that's because the other person has some accent. "

Cao Weishan asked again: "How do you know they are brothers?"

Chi Yue pointed to his jaw: "Both of them have the same cleft in their jaws.

Wu'an double swords, Zhao Ping and Zhao Yuan brothers are quite well-known in the Jianghu, so I have this guess.

Please also ask Mr. Cao to check. "

The dead one had a big beard, if he hadn't checked carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Cao Weishan was convinced.

"It's not too late, I'll accompany Mr. Cao into the palace."

Cao Weishan nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to Pei Hao: "Master Pei, Mr. Luo's case will definitely be investigated by someone Cao, and he will live up to His Majesty's orders."

Pei Hao replied, "Thank you."

Before leaving, Qi Xiao asked Zong Sheng and Chi Yue to stay, and said to Pei Hao with a smile: "Master Pei, can my servant come to interrogate that servant?"

Pei Hao had just seen Chi Yue's ability, and now he had more trust, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Chi Yue asked Qi Xiao in a low voice: "How do you want me to interrogate you?"

Qi Xiao glanced at Chi Yue, and he followed Zong Sheng to call him Lord.

"One cannot die.

Nor can it be put into practice. "

"Yes."

It's easy for people not to die, but if they can't live up to the facts, it's for Chi Yue to grasp his sense of proportion and not to "be beaten into tricks", which is not easy.

***

Qi Xiao took Baixi Bridge and entered the palace with Cao Weishan to meet His Majesty.

On the carriage, Qi Xiao asked Cao Weishan, "Who was the leader of the five capitals when they arrested these two?"

"It's General Song Li."

"He also shot people?"

Cao Weishan shook his head: "No, Song Li still took the job."

During the question-and-answer period, Qi Xiao and Cao Weishan had a tacit understanding in their hearts. These two were scapegoats, and they would be clean only after they died, but they left a living. Chance.

Song Li was helping them.
