Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"It's not good for him, it's not for a gentleman." Di Renjie rubbed his chin, and then said firmly, "If you insist on doing this, then I won't participate."

Yuchi Baoqi took a deep breath and stared at Di Renjie, "That's not interesting anymore, you know how I treated you before, and you didn't do me such a small favor?"

"Things are different, anyway, I won't do this!" Di Renjie enunciated clearly, and told Yuchi Baoqi, "You helped me a lot in the past, and I will pay back what I owe you, but this kind of thing I really can't do it. I'm sorry, everyone, but I'll take my leave first."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he rode his horse and ran towards the road that Fang Yi had walked on.

"Eh? Look at him!" Yuchi Baoqi was so angry that he beat his chest with his fist, "It's in vain that I treat him so well."

"Have you treated him well? Why didn't I see it? It's because you're free to make fun of him." Xiao Kai laughed.

"Is there?" Yuchi Baoqi looked up, reflected for a while, and then asked Xiao Kai and Wei Shuyu, "Will you two go, if you want to go, hurry up and take advantage of the present, I can bear it."

"The idea I gave you, how can you go, depends on him." Wei Shuyu looked at Xiao Kai.

Xiao Kai shrugged his shoulders, and said with an innocent smile: "It's Xiao Kai's job to stab my friends."

"That's good, at least there are two more to help me." Yuchi Baoqi earnestly thanked the two of them, "I owe you a big favor, if you have something to do in the future, just say it."

Xiao Kai laughed and said: "You are too polite. When I was in trouble, you didn't look down on me, so I am very grateful. Do you remember when I went to Liang Guogong's mansion to say goodbye during the Chinese New Year? Actually, I left before I went to two families, and I usually thought I wanted my best friend, but I didn't expect to be blocked from the door. Finally, I went to Liang Guogong's mansion, and I didn't have any hope, but I didn't expect the servant who guarded the door to let me in without saying a word. Since then, I have been extremely grateful to you. I also know what is a true friend and what is a superficial friend."

"Then it should be the credit of Brother Yi Zhi. The gatekeepers in his house are very well behaved. They can let you in without waiting for the result of the notification. Brother Yi Zhi must have given instructions before." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Xiao Kai glanced at him and smiled, "You're not bad, you weren't angry when someone didn't give you face just now, and you still don't forget to praise him now."

"My relationship with him has long passed the stage of hypocritical greetings. If he doesn't like it, he will say it directly, and so will I. Look at Huaiying, it's the same now. Although both of them rejected me, it won't happen Affect our friendship, don't good friends just tell each other the truth, otherwise it will be tiring to get along with each other." Yuchi Baoqi sighed.

Xiao Kai and Wei Shuyu nodded together, both of them were envious of Yuchi Baoqi's relationship with Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie.Thinking about the friends around me, it seems that there is no one who has such a heart-to-heart relationship.

"Let's go, go to Zuihualou to have a drink. You must have never heard of a newly opened restaurant. His family has a unique and secret sweet-scented osmanthus shochu, which is very delicious. Once the wine is hot, it is fragrant. I thank you in advance for your help." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Xiao Kai and Wei Shuyu agreed, and then followed him.

Late at night, Wei Shuyu returned home with a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus and wine.He was slightly drunk and wobbled when he got off the horse, but his attendants quickly supported him to stabilize him.

"Why did you come back in the middle of the night!" Wei Shuyu's drink was instantly sobered by a stern voice.

Wei Shuyu hurriedly saluted Wei Zheng, "Baoqi's birthday is coming soon, he invited me and Xiao Erlang to drink, there is no reason not to."

Wei Zheng coughed twice, looked at Wei Shuyu with a frown, and softened his tone a little: "That's all for today, remember it later."

Wei Shuyu agreed, and immediately went to help Wei Zheng. Seeing that his complexion was not good, he was worried that Wei Zheng's old illness would recur, so he asked Wei Zheng how he was and whether he was feeling sick again.

"It's an old problem, and it's easy to make mistakes when the seasons change. It's good to go back and eat some old recipes." Seeing Wei Shuyu's filial piety, Wei Zheng calmed down a lot.As he walked, he told Wei Shuyu to be prudent and responsible in doing things in the future, not to be willful, let alone to do anything recklessly, "Aye is getting old, and there will always be a time when he can't walk in the future, and then he won't be able to protect you. If you want Learn to rely on yourself in everything and restrain your arrogant temper. Also, don’t just blindly make friends regardless of good or bad. Not all of your children are good. A really useful one."

Wei Shuyu smiled and said to Wei Zheng: "Just now we discussed this matter with Baoqi, and everyone thought so."

Wei Zheng nodded, "Then you two friends are not bad, and there is Fang Dalang, he is a man of excellent morals, you have known it for a long time, so learn more from him."

Wei Zheng agreed, and immediately helped Wei Zheng into the house. At this time, Mrs. Pei greeted him and saw Wei Zheng go out without even wearing a cloak, and blamed the people around him for not taking good care of him.

"But don't train them, I feel hot, there is no need to wear so much."

Pei said helplessly: "I said I would go out for a walk, but in the end I went to pick up my son."

Wei Zheng denied it, coughed twice and said, "It's just a chance encounter."

"All right, all right, I just met you by chance." Mrs. Pei smiled, then turned to look at Wei Shuyu, "It's your fault too, why did you come back late. You, Aye, knew that you went to the Department of Mirrors to practice, so I was thinking about it, thinking Ask about the situation."

Wei Shuyu hurriedly told Wei Zheng all about his experience at the Der Spiegel Division.

When Wei Zheng heard that the case was serious, he repeatedly told Wei Shuyu to assist the princess in solving the case and do his best.

Wei Shuyu agreed to salute.

Mrs. Pei was speechless, "More than a dozen human bones? This is too scary. This is not a lotus pond, but a dead man's pit!"

Wei Zheng waved his hand, telling Pei to keep his voice down, he had a headache and couldn't stand the fuss.

Pei quickly covered her mouth, nodded, and then tried to speak in a normal tone, "I'm really surprised."

"Brother Yi Zhi and I saw this scene together, and we were all amazed. No one would have imagined that there would be so many bones hidden in the mansion of Qi Ming, the former servant of the Ministry of Industry."

"It's a coincidence that the Department of Mirrors is chosen there. These souls are lucky to meet you, and they will finally be rehabilitated one day." Pei sighed.

"It's a coincidence. The reason why the sage chose that place was because it was close to Cui's house." The reason why Wei Zheng told Pei Shi this sentence was to tell Pei Shi that the idea of ​​letting their eldest son Shangzhu can rest for a while. rested.

Mrs. Pei was stunned, her expression was more surprised than what she had just heard about the bones, "What do you mean, the sage is going to settle down?"

Wei Zheng frowned, "It should be almost there, last month he kept praising Cui Gan for his good teaching skills."

Pei Shi looked disappointed and sighed slowly.

Wei Zhengdao: "It's good to let go of your thoughts, so that you don't have nothing to think about. Besides, our uncle Yu has no interest in Shangzhu, so you should follow his wishes and let him do what he wants and do things according to his own ability." .”

Mrs. Pei glanced at Wei Shuyu, saw Wei Shuyu nodded happily to herself, understood that he thought so too, and sighed helplessly.

"There is no other way, and there is no hope at all. I can only follow your father's wishes. It's just that I don't want to be reconciled. It's fine to be with Cui's family, but we can't."

"Aniang, it's a blessing in disguise." Wei Shuyu coaxed Pei Shi with an apologetic smile.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help her son say good things to her, and he was amused by a few words, so he explained, "That's all! I didn't get it before, and if I don't have it, I'm gone. Don't say these things, by the way, your sister I'm still not in a good mood recently, you have to persuade her again when you have time, I think she is quite listening to your persuasion."

Wei Shuyu agreed, and then bid farewell to Wei Zhengpei.

Mrs. Pei advised Wei Zheng to go to rest quickly, and personally helped him to the bed.After Wei Zheng lay down, he looked at Mrs. Pei and said, "Didn't you tell me clearly, what happened to our second mother? Why are you in such a bad mood recently?"

"I don't know either. I asked Shuyu to ask before. He said it was because he was envious of the princess and felt that she was not as good as others, so he felt a little sad. I reflected that I usually praised too much, so I didn't say much these days. , but it still didn’t work, I was wondering if there might be other reasons, but I deliberately concealed it and didn’t tell me. For example, is she pregnant?”

Wei Zheng frowned and asked back, "You look at her at home every day, but you ask me these things, how do I know?"

"It's hard for me to say. She didn't show anything special in front of me. I'll test her tomorrow. But you should tell me first today. If she really has a crush on someone, what should you do?" Pei Shi asked.

"It depends on what kind of person she likes. If the family background is the same, morality and talent can be considered. We don't have to be rigid parents, just matchmaking." Wei Zheng said.

When Mrs. Pei heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "What I want is your words, after all, he is a good father to our child. As long as I have your words, I will go to persuade her tomorrow, and I will also have some in my heart." end."

Early the next morning, Mrs. Pei heard that Wei Zheng was coughing badly, and his complexion was much worse than the previous day, and advised him not to go to court if he asked for leave, but Wei Zheng insisted on going.Pei also had no choice but to send Wei Zheng away, and she immediately went to Wei Wanshu's room.

Because Mrs. Pei wanted to investigate Wei Wanshu's situation, she deliberately asked people not to report it.She quietly went in to see her daughter, only to see Wei Wanshu sitting by the window wearing a peach-colored pink dress, her chin resting on a pair of white and tender hands, the color of the dress just reflected her rosy cheeks, she was very rosy and beautiful, but she was a little absent-minded , staring at the papered window in front of him in a daze, the whole person looked gloomy.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Pei really looks like a girl in Huaichun.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei asked softly.

Wei Wanshu froze for a moment, then turned her eyes to see her mother coming, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"I didn't think about anything, I was just in a daze."

"Okay, what are you and A Niang hiding? If you have anything in your heart, you can speak out freely. Apart from worrying about you and giving you advice, A Niang can do nothing. She won't do anything to harm you." Pei babbled.

Wei Wanshu pursed her lips and smiled, "Aniang, I'm really fine. It's just that I've been in the nunnery for a long time, and I'm used to being quiet by myself, so I still have the old habit of being quiet and dazed. "

"Is that so?" Mrs. Pei asked suspiciously, seeing her insisting on nodding, she couldn't say anything more.After saying goodbye to Wei Wanshu, Mrs. Pei was always concerned about this matter.

Besides, Wei Shuyu, after arriving at Mingjing Si Yingmao early this morning, he went to the house where he worked under the leadership of the Yacha, and asked who was in the room on the left, and found out that it was Fang Yizhi. Wei Shuyu couldn't be more satisfied .Then he asked who was on the right, and Wei Shuyu was quite satisfied when he learned that it was Xiao Kai.

The main room is naturally the princess's place, so Wei Shuyu didn't ask any more questions, but only asked the servant: "What about the other side?"

"The one right next to the main room is Master Cui, and the one next to it is naturally the newly appointed Master Yuchi." The Yacha replied honestly.

Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Their rooms are next to each other?"

Yacha was puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing, nothing," Wei Shuyu was stunned.

The yamen chaperone then bowed to leave, and after walking not far, he was suddenly stopped by Wei Shuyu.

The Yacha saluted Wei Shuyu suspiciously, asking him to give orders if he had anything to do.

"I don't have anything else, I'm just curious, who decides the allocation of this room?" Wei Shuyu thought that if Cui Qingji did it, then he is really too shameless, and he must teach her a lesson.

"Your lord, before leaving yesterday, your lord casually pointed out that you have allocated the rooms of the lords, so that the subordinates can arrange them according to the preferences of the lords this morning."

"It's really troublesome." Wei Shuyu said in surprise, he didn't expect the princess to be so thoughtful.It just happened to be a coincidence, and I put two people who didn't deal with each other together, I'm afraid that the days to come will be quite lively.However, he is the person who is least afraid of excitement, so he doesn't care.

Then Wei Shuyu took out a penny from his sleeve and gave the yamen servant some wine.

The yamen officer hastily refused and did not dare, "Your lord has just come to the Department of Mirrors, and he has set rules for his subordinates. No one is allowed to accept other people's money without authorization. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the Department of Mirrors and will never be hired."

When Wei Shuyu heard this, his slender fingers immediately clenched a bunch of money, and then he carried it behind his back, "I don't understand the rules, so please tell me what these rules are, don't look back, I made a mistake I don’t know it yet.”

The Yacha then repeated it to Wei Shuyu one by one, and there was nothing too out of the ordinary, except that he was not allowed to collect money indiscriminately, do things for others secretly, pass messages in private, and so on.

Wei Shuyu nodded, and then sent the clerk to leave, and then he went back to his room, wrote down all the rules that the clerk just mentioned, and then thought over these rules carefully.

Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai arrived later.Wei Shuyu saw them and immediately called them to his room.

"You don't care, you agreed to come earlier, why is it later than me?" Wei Shuyu asked Yuchi Baoqi.

Yuchi Baoqi scratched her head, "It's not like I drank too much last night, so I didn't get up this morning. But it's not too late now, only the three of us are here, and the others haven't come yet."

"I just asked, your room is over there, next to Cui Qingji."

"Ah!?" Yuchi Baoqi was surprised.

"That's good, he will be able to observe clearly what he does in the future." Wei Shuyu rubbed his chin and said.

"How do you observe? Although we are next to each other, we are separated by a wall."

"That breaks down the wall."

Wei Shuyu immediately beckoned, signaling Yuchi Baoqi to come to him, put his hands around his ears, whispered to him, and then signaled his attendants to light up the tools to show him.

"I was thinking that no matter whether I can do it or not, I should bring my things with me first. It seems that I really have the foresight."

When Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai saw this, they were surprised, and praised Wei Shuyu repeatedly, and then the three of them discussed how to do it.

"The east and west rooms correspond to the two rooms, and the layout should be similar. However, I just heard that each room is arranged according to everyone's preferences. Cui Qingji's room must be different. I'd better take a look at it and then dig it out. I'm sorry." .This will temporarily remove the people in the yard." Wei Shuyu said.

Yuchi Baoqi moved her eyeballs, then looked at Xiao Kai, "Then I will trouble you."

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Whether you're pretending to have a stomachache or a headache, you'll lie down on the ground after leaving the courtyard and yell a few times to make everyone focus on you. I just checked and all the doors are unlocked, including For Cui Qingji, it only takes a moment, and it's easy for people to get in."

"Then come out?" Xiao Kai asked with a wry smile.

"It's easier to come out, jump out of the back window, and then enter Baoqi's room, so no one will notice anything." Wei Shuyu explained.

"Yes, this is a great idea, let's do it like this." Yuchi Baoqi clapped his hands, then patted Xiao Kai on the shoulder, thanking him again and again for his 'sacrifice' for himself.

"Okay, what I just said yesterday was stabbing my friend, I can't go back on it today, isn't it just pretending to have a stomachache, I will." After Xiao Kai said, he gestured to the two of them, signaling them to start quickly, Don't come again later, there will be more people watching him make a fool of himself.

Wei Shuyu nodded, and he led the servants beside him, chatting and laughing with Yuchi Baoqi, and went to Yuchi Baoqi's room.

Xiao Kai bid farewell to the two of them and went home to pick up something missing.So he was walking to the door, and suddenly fell down.But the yamen who guarded the gate were frightened, and they hurriedly shouted that something happened.

At this time Wei Shuyu hurriedly said: "He has a stomachache, he must have been gluttonous again last night, hurry and carry him back to the house." After saying that, he called all the people who cleaned the yard to help.

Then everyone rushed to get Xiao Kai in, and Wei Shizi sent someone to invite the doctor, explaining that everyone dispersed, and then it was over.

Half an hour later, Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie arrived, followed by Cui Qingji, and then Li Mingda.

When Li Mingda entered the courtyard, he saw everyone coming out to greet him, he smiled, and after sending everyone a stick of incense, they gathered in the main hall.

After Yuchi Baoqi greeted Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie, he told them where his room was, and asked them to go to his place often in the future.

After Fang Yizhi heard about the layout of the room, he took a look at his own room, sent Luo Ge to put the belongings in the room, and said nothing more.

Di Renjie sighed happily, "Our room is the furthest from the main room and the largest, it's quiet."

"En." Fang Yi replied straight away, looked at Yuchi Baoqi again, and told him to understand the rules here when he just came here, "Now that he is a person with an official position, he should not act recklessly like before. You have to be responsible for your words and deeds. You also need reporters. Anything you do is likely to be watched by others. Don’t think that the reference book of Yushitai can’t get involved with you.”

"Understood, don't worry." Yuchi Baoqi smiled straight at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi nodded, and then led Di Renjie to their room.As soon as he entered the door and looked at the layout of the room, it was somewhat familiar, like the study in his home.

"Although this room is not as big as your Dali Temple's, it has been furnished with great care. It's not surprising that the servant of the Mingjing Department must have magical powers. It's really thoughtful to be able to arrange it to such a degree according to everyone's preferences. Di Renjie sighed.

Fang Yi sat down straight, flipped through the stack of books on the table, they were some miscellaneous books, but the content was very attractive, and judging from the oldness of the pages, they should be ancient books, rare and unique copies.Fang Yizhi casually flipped through two books, and saw the names of everyone he was familiar with, knowing that these ancient books should all come from the palace.

Fang Yi raised the corners of his mouth, feeling less injustice in his heart.

"It's really considerate, and I have specially prepared two tables, but I don't want to sit opposite Brother Yi, I want to put this table by the window on the other side." Di Renjie said.

Fang Yi nodded straightly, just when he and he didn't like doing things with each other, they were facing each other, so they were easily disturbed by each other.

After Di Renjie sat down in the place he had rearranged, he felt the surrounding atmosphere and thought it was very good.

"This is the first time I have a desk of my own in the government office. It is the first time in my life. It is memorable. I want to write it down under the desk." After all, Di Renjie is young and has a naughty temper.After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to ink and lay a cushion under the table case. He sat under the table case, bowed his waist, and wrote with difficulty under the table who, when, where and what to do, and then signed and wrote. "Di Huaiying Book" four words.

Fang Yi smiled and told Di Renjie to be careful not to kowtow or twist his waist, and then he went through the estimates on the table, one page after another.By the time Di Renjie finished writing, Fang Yizhi had almost finished reading most of the book.At this time, Luo Ge reminded Yizhu that the time is coming soon.Di Renjie quickly got out from under the table, patted the dust on his body, moved his body again, and stretched his waist.

When the two arrived at the main hall, everyone just arrived.

Yuchi Baoqi has been observing Cui Qingji from time to time.Cui Qingji didn't respond at all. After calmly sitting down, his eyes were on Li Mingda, waiting for the answer.Fang Yi is directly the Minister of Dali Temple, and his rank is above all the younger ones, so after he entered the door, his seat was separated from that of Di Renjie. Di Renjie was at the end, and he was at the front. adjacent.Wei Shuyu sits at the lower right, next to him are Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai.

After Li Mingda saw that everyone was seated, he asked Zuo Qingmei to talk about the results of the autopsy.

"A total of thousands of white bones were dug up. According to the skulls last night, there were at least 22 bones. After a night of patchwork and comparison last night, it was found that there were four more thigh bones of different lengths and thicknesses. That is to say, the number of bones was at least That increased to 26, not including the body that hadn't fully decomposed before."

"What's the cause of death? Can you still figure it out?" Wei Shuyu asked impatiently.

Zuo Qingmei glanced at Wei Shuyu, and continued to narrate with a blank face: "Because there are many bones missing, only six skeletons that are relatively complete can only be partially restored. Judging from the condition of these six skeletons, it is only the neck bones that have knives. Among the other broken bones, the neck bones rummaged through also bear knife marks."

As Zuo Qingmei spoke, she measured the position of her neck with her hands, "If you cut it down like this, you will be killed immediately."

"This method is vicious. If the 26 corpses all died in this way, it would be neat and neat, it would be like..." Xiao Kai looked at Yuchi Baoqi as he spoke.

Yuchi Baoqi nodded, and immediately said: "Soldiers kill people."

Cui Qingji: "Would this just confirm Wei Shizi's previous guess that the undecomposed corpses and those that have turned into bones have completely different methods of death, and the murderers are also different, they just happen to be put together."

"Don't you have any new ideas? What's the fun in talking about the old ones?" Hearing what Cui Qingji said, Wei Shuyu snorted softly, obviously disdainful of him agreeing with her.

Seeing this, Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai laughed lightly, which could be regarded as echoing Wei Shuyu's disdain.

Originally, their reaction to ordinary children was a very embarrassing thing.But Cui Qingji was just the opposite, with a calm face and a gentle smile.Compared with the "ugliness" of Wei Shuyu and others, Cui Qingji's modest and gentleman style is even more prominent.

Li Mingda raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Shuyu, and then glanced at Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai.

The three of them lowered their eyes immediately, dodging Li Mingda's questioning gaze.

Li Mingda didn't say a word, and asked Zuo Qingmei to continue talking.

"The incompletely decomposed corpse was a man, and the fatal wound was on the fist-sized bloody hole in his chest. The bones we dug up included men, women, and children. And yesterday's excavation in the mud When the bones were cleaned, they were not cleaned very cleanly, so we did not investigate carefully. After the bones were thoroughly cleaned last night, we found that there were still some bones with 'abnormal shape'."

"Abnormal? What is abnormal? Isn't it a human bone?" Yuchi Baoqi's curious question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all focused on him.

Wei Shuyu really couldn't help him even if he wanted to, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "What on earth are you thinking, you can still think that it's not a human bone, if it's not a human bone, it's not fresh, it's nothing unusual."

"Ah, I was confused again, everyone, I'm sorry!" Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly apologized to Zuo Qingmei.

Zuo Qingmei looked at him with a helpless smile, she had already gotten used to Yuchi Baoqi's temper, and continued: "The bones in question have been prepared, everyone can take a look."

After Zuo Qingmei finished speaking, a yamen servant came forward with a tray of covered things.

Yuchi Baoqi twitched his eyebrows. When he just entered the room, he saw a clerk in the corner holding this thing. He didn't know what he was doing, but it turned out to be a plate of bones. Thinking about it, he was a little terrified.

Someone had already prepared a high table and lifted it up. The tray was placed on the table, and the white cloth on it was lifted off immediately.Several people got up and looked around.

"What's stuck on both ends of this bone? It's black? The mud hasn't been washed off?" Di Renjie looked at Zuo Qingmei curiously.

After careful observation, everyone found that this was the only problem, but they were not sure if it was Zuo Qingmei's problem, so they all looked at Zuo Qingmei suspiciously.

Li Mingda had already received a report from Zuo Qingmei earlier, so he knew about it, so he was naturally not curious at the moment, but just glanced at everyone to observe everyone's reaction, unfortunately Fang Yi caught him right away, and he was the only one among everyone He didn't look at Zuo Qingmei with curiosity.

Zuo Qingmei picked up the bone, lifted it up, and stared at what was stuck on it, "This is meat, to be precise, it's muscle."

Yuchi Baoqi was still watching very carefully just now, almost kissed the bone, but when he heard Zuo Qingmei's words, his stomach churns immediately, he took a step back, and was immediately held by Wei Shuyu.Wei Shuyu felt that Yuchi Baoqi was about to vomit, turned his head to give him a solemn wink, and shook his head slightly.Yuchi Baoqi frowned and nodded tragically, knowing that even if she couldn't bear it anymore, she must persevere.

Zuo Qingmei then took a dagger to scrape on a relatively large piece of 'meat', after scraping off the black layer on the outside, it was still visible that the inside was white, still not separated from the bone, and kept sticky.

"These muscles are still very elastic, not the result of the natural decay of the corpse. The black appearance is only caused by the silt in the pond. Not to mention where the meat in other parts of the bone went, just the piece on the bone, The place with tendons should not be so small, but there is only this small piece, and there is no meat on the adjacent side, which is very strange. I am afraid that these bones will not have much meat left before they are thrown into the lotus pond. After they are thrown into the lotus pond, there will be fish Shrimp and other things bite, so only the unyielding tendons are left sticking to the bones, so the missing parts of the muscles should have been bitten off before being thrown into the pond." Zuo Qingmei said, Just pick out a few bones with gnawing marks for everyone to see.These bite marks must not be left by fish and shrimp in the pond, such as dogs and wolves.

So Zuo Qingmei's guess is basically the truth.

"This is strange. Killing people by wiping their necks with a knife, and then feeding them to animals like dogs and wolves, and throwing the remaining bones in the pond of this mansion. Why? This is too troublesome and unreasonable It's gone." Xiao Kai was full of doubts, and couldn't figure it out at all.

"If these explanations are clear, the case will not be far from being solved." Fang Yizhi immediately said, "Since there are no big clues, let's follow the usual way of investigating the case, first investigate from the surrounding areas, and see Has anyone in the vicinity witnessed this before? Someone used to come in and out of this mansion frequently. Since the earliest appearance of the bones cannot be confirmed, the original owner of this mansion also needs to investigate to see if he knows any clues or is hiding something. Fortunately, Qi Ming’s hometown is in Gyeonggi-do, not far from us, so it’s convenient to send people to investigate.”

Fang Yi straightly stated what everyone needs to do at the moment, but it gave Xiao Kai and other people who had no idea a plan.Everyone immediately agreed, and then reported themselves to be brave and responsible.

"My family lives on this street, and the neighbors around me are all familiar with the people who often walk on the street. I will handle the inquiries in this area, and there shouldn't be any problems." Cui Qingji said.

Xiao Kai and Di Renjie said together that they should be responsible for the work of going to Qi Ming's hometown to inquire about things.Xiao Kai is good at seeing the big picture, while Di Renjie is delicate in mind and good at fussing over details, and the two complement each other perfectly.

Li Mingda immediately agreed, and told them to pack up and set off without delay.

Yuchi Baoqi looked around, then asked Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda, "What about me?"

"Stay at the Department of Mirrors, lead people to continue digging the pond, and see how many 'surprises' there are." Fang Yi thought for a while, and then ordered.

When Yuchi Baoqi heard the word 'surprise', her head finally calmed down and her stomach began to churn, "Please forgive me."

Li Mingda forbade Yuchi Baoqi to be willful, "Forgive me, this is the 'punishment' you should have." Besides, you are afraid of corpses, if you want to stay in the Der Spiegel Department, you must first adapt to this. How did you respond today? Why are you, Xiao Kai, and Wei Shuyu targeting Cui Qingji? What did he do to you?"

Yuchi Baoqi was a little flustered when she heard this, she didn't expect that they just laughed and attracted the attention of the princess, and also made the princess question herself so directly.

"No, I didn't do anything." Yuchi Baoqi wanted to pretend to be confused.

"You said you didn't do anything, but when someone said a word, you, Xiao Kai and Wei Shuyu all joined together to make fun of him."

"This is really wronged. In the past, when I said something stupid, you laughed at me." Yuchi Baoqi also wanted to be 'innocent'.

"Jokes are different from jokes. There are good intentions and malicious ones. Don't pretend that I don't know what your intentions are. I'm actually not interested in asking why you didn't deal with him in private. But in the Department of Der Spiegel, the trial case In this matter, if you avenge your personal revenge publicly, I will definitely be rude to you." Li Mingda warned coldly.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned and then nodded aggrieved.She swore secretly in her heart that when she was not investigating the case, she would try her best to make Cui Qingji give up the idea of ​​Shangzhu, and listen to Wei Shuyu's advice more until he tortured and ran away.

"I think you are still a little unconvinced, how about this," Li Mingda immediately asked Yuchi Baoqi, but he remembered that he lost in the horse racing competition in Anzhou and owed himself a request.

Yuchi Baoqi nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Of course I remember. After I returned to Beijing, I asked your lord and planned to pay back this 'request'. But your lord said at the time that there is no rush, and I will mention it when I need it."

"Yes, now is when I need it." Li Mingda said.

Fang Yizhi, who was always calm and calm, looked sideways after hearing the words, and looked at Li Mingda curiously.

Li Mingda stared at Yuchi Baoqi closely, and said solemnly to him: "I want you to stop playing any tricks to bully Cui Qingji."
