"The Princess is still amazing!" Gongsun Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complimented Chao Feng Wu.

"That's right, what's wrong with the Gaoli princess in Changle? Why did Cui Shangshu dare to speak when you told her to get her pulse?" Ling Chuchu felt happy when she saw Cui Shangshu swallowing his anger. Now she is curious It's terrible, so I went to Feng Wu and asked her.

"It's not a disease, it's a slippery pulse."

"Hua Mai? What is Hua Mai?" Ling Chuchu couldn't understand these medical terms.

"Hua Mai is pregnant. You girl is messed up because you don't understand anything." Aunt Bao is proficient in medical skills, and she always checks the pulse of people in Luzhou City. Naturally, Hua Mai is the clearest.

"What?! You mean that Princess Goryeo is pregnant?! Then she came to marry, is this asking for peace or war, and that child belongs to Cui Shangshu?" Shocked by the princess's boldness.

Feng Wu glanced at her fox father, and said calmly: "I just said that she is pregnant, but I didn't say that the child is Cui Shangshu's."

"Princess, do you know something? If you know, tell me quickly! If the murderer is not found within three days and handed over to the Koreans, Luzhou will be gone!" Gongsun Zhen now It's already an ant on a hot pot. Although there are eight sage kings sitting in Luzhou, the people of his Luzhou city died first in the war.

"I think that Cui Guanghao is weird, and there is no clear relationship with the princess of Gaoli. There must be something wrong with the two of them. Why don't we arrest that Cui Guanghao for interrogation first?" Chu Chu also said. One side agrees.

"Miss Chuchu is right, I'll go right away!" Catcher Lu picked up the knife and was about to go out to arrest people.

"No, we don't have conclusive evidence to prove that Cui Guanghao is the murderer. Arresting someone rashly will make the group of Koreans dissatisfied." It was Gongsun Ce who was calm and clear-headed, and stopped Lu catcher in time.

Bao Zheng still sat quietly on the chair with his head bowed in thought, he was not as excited and worried as others showed, nor did he suspect that the murderer was Cui Guanghao like Chu Chu and Gongsun Zhen.

Feng Wu looked at Gongsun Zhen and the others discussing and discussing without disturbing, just sat with her fox father, father and daughter looked at them with the same posture and the same expression.When their argument was finally over, Feng Wu put down his teacup to stretch, and said a word.

"I'm hungry, let's eat first!"

At the dinner table, Eight Sage Kings, Feng Wu, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Ling Chuchu sat together. Gongsun Zhen went to arrange the deployment of soldiers in Luzhou City, but did not eat with them.Feng Wu saw that everyone was absent-minded about eating, so he had to tell stories to let them change their minds, and somehow talked about the living habits of people in Liao and Song Dynasties.

"Father, I heard that Liao people are often attacked by ferocious beasts, so they will be very vigilant whether drinking water or sleeping, right?"

The Eighth Sage King is very happy to answer his daughter's questions, which will make him feel adored by his daughter, very happy, a feeling that his son can't give.

"That's right, the Liao people live in the grasslands, hunt for a living, and keep company with ferocious beasts. When they drink water, they are different from us. We bend down to drink, but they need to squat down halfway, so that they can drink water." Keep a clear view of the situation in all directions, so as not to be attacked by beasts from behind while drinking water."

"No wonder the Liao army has always wanted to invade the Great Song Dynasty. Our Great Song Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. It is not common for wild beasts to attack the people. There is no danger." Feng Wu nodded suddenly, and Bao Zheng and others listened attentively, obviously also by these people Fascinated by the living environment of the Liao people, they temporarily forgot about the troublesome murder case.

After dinner, Feng Wu suggested that we all go to the mountain with the best scenery in Luzhou for a walk, change our minds, breathe the air of nature, maybe we can solve the mystery.

Chu Chu and Xiao Ai are girls who agree with Feng Wu's proposal, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are somewhat reluctant, the three-day period is coming soon, they don't have the heart to go sightseeing without finding the murderer.But no matter how much they objected, they were suppressed by Feng Wu as the princess, and finally Feng Wu borrowed Shen Liang from Gongsun Zhen to be their guard.

Along the way, Feng Wu was talking to Chu Chu and the others, except for Bao Zheng who was following behind and Gongsun Ce, everyone was having fun. In order to make those two friends who were darker than the other happier, Feng Wu took the initiative to tell her Thoughts on the murder.

"I think the death of the Crown Prince of Korea and the Seventh Prince of Korea should have nothing to do with our Great Song Dynasty, and their own scruples are fine."

Sure enough, when Feng Wuyi talked about the murder case, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce became interested, and even asked her why she was so sure.

"It's very simple. What do you think is the purpose of Goryeo's mission to Song Dynasty this time?"

"Negotiate peace." As expected of the son of an official, Gongsun Ce reacted quickly to such a major national event, and immediately caught up with Feng Wu's train of thought.

Feng Wu smiled at Gongsun Ce, and continued: "Yes, it is a peace negotiation, and it is still a reluctance to negotiate a peace, but this time the people of the Song Dynasty have been looking forward to it for a long time. Allies are very important, even if it is for the sake of the Song Dynasty; for the sake of the people not to suffer from the war, the court and the people are unwilling to see any accidents in this alliance. Even if some of the Koreans do not agree with this The second peace negotiation, but this is an order issued by the King of Koryo himself, and they have sent a mission to the Song Dynasty, and the gift of the princess of Koryo, they have to accept it even if they disagree. And Bao Zheng once speculated that seven The reason why the prince wanted to kill the Crown Prince was because of the position of Crown Prince. Now both the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince were dead, and there was no one else in the mission to the Song Dynasty. After the two died, they were eligible to inherit the throne. Except for the two sons of Crown Prince Gaoli and Seventh Prince, the other sons of King Goryeo either died young or were still young, so there is no need for them to kill all the heirs of their own country, and it may cause Goryeo to fall into civil strife.

"The princess's analysis is not unreasonable." Bao Zheng thought carefully about what Feng Wu said, and nodded to express his agreement with her thoughts.

"The princess thinks...?"

"It's very simple. It depends on who gets the most benefit after the death of the Crown Prince Goryeo or the Seventh Prince Goryeo. Even if this person is not the real murderer behind the scenes, he will be a powerful assistant to the murderer."

Bao Zheng thought about the interests of the people involved in the case, and said: "Best interests? The two princes of Goryeo died. Regardless of whether it was the hand of Da Song or not, the king of Koryo will be credited to Da Song. Don’t even think about it, the talks will collapse.”

"More than that, it may lead to war." Gongsun Ce supplemented what Bao Zheng said, and continued: "Korea lost the two princes for nothing, and there is nothing worthy of their plot. Even if they want to blame Song Dynasty, There is no need to lose two princes, let alone one of them is the crown prince, which doesn't make sense."

"Falling the blame, that's right! It's setting the blame, why didn't I think of it!" Bao Zheng patted his forehead vigorously, and suddenly realized that he didn't even think of such the most direct reasoning!

"The Liao army has always wanted to invade Da Song. The alliance between Goryeo and Da Song is definitely not the result they want to see. The two princes of Goryeo are dead. If Da Song can't hand over the murderer, the king of Koryo will send troops to attack Da Song. Then they will Taking advantage of the fire to loot and attack Da Song from the other side, wouldn't our Da Song suffer from the enemy, and Da Song is in danger."

"Then who on earth killed the two princes of Goryeo without anyone noticing?"

"I don't know, hey, Chuchu, do you know?" Feng Wu said who am I?Where am I?I didn't know what it looked like, so I turned my head and asked Ling Chuchu who was wandering in Taixu.

"How could I possibly know!"

"Then Xiao Ai, do you know? What about you, Gongsun Ce?...What about you, Brother Shen?" Feng Wu suddenly brought the topic to Shen Liang, who was silent.

"You smart people don't know it, and I don't know it even if I am a swordsman. Don't you feel thirsty after talking so much? There is a small river, let's go and drink!"

After Shen Liang finished speaking, he ran to the river to check first, and when he found that there was no problem, he squatted down to drink water, Chu Chu Xiaoai also followed; Feng Wu stood at the end, watching Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce look at Shen Liang drinking water, Laughed.

Fortunately, these two are smart people, so it's not in vain for her to work so much.In fact, as early as the first time she checked the room where Prince Gaoli was killed, she found some interesting evidence, and she didn't say it to scare the snake; combined with Shen Liang's worried look when she found Xiao Ai, the guess in her heart became fact.

At night in the Bamboo Forest of Hundred Ghosts, because no one dared to disturb it, it became extremely quiet, only the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, making a "russling" sound.

Since Xiao Ai got to know friends like Bao Zheng Chuchu, her life is no longer lonely, and she has become fun and happy. Now both Bao Zheng and Shen Liang are teaching her to learn to write. She is very serious, and whenever she has time Just practice and improve a lot.

It’s almost two o’clock now, and Xiao Ai is still practicing writing. Those cheap rough-edged papers are full of large and small crooked characters, because the house is a bit dilapidated, and the windows next to the table are also leaking. The oil lamps were also flickering on and off, making people's eyes hurt.

Suddenly, a rope stretched out from behind, and it was about to be wrapped around Xiao Ai's neck, but she cut it quickly with a paper cutter that she put aside in time.

The person who came obviously didn't expect Xiao Ai's reaction to be so fast. He took the rope that had been cut in two and was stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ai clenched his fist and swept back until she turned around. Only then did the assassin realize that this person was not Xiao Ai but Ling Chuchu.

Realizing that something was wrong, the black-clothed assassin wanted to escape from the window closest to him, but was hacked back into the house by Du Bu, who was waiting under the window.Forced to fight Ling Chuchu a few more times, the assassin turned around and wanted to escape from the door, but it was a pity that he bumped into Feng Wu, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and the others head-on, and was kicked back into the house by Feng Wu. Following the Eight Sage Kings, Gongsun Zhen and a group of Koreans came out from the corner.

"We already know your plan, and we also know who you are and what purpose you have. Don't continue to harm others, and turn around." Bao Zheng's face was full of pain. He came up with this trick of letting Ling Chuchu play Xiao Ai, according to The murderer's purpose of killing, Bao Zheng can easily deduce the next person he will kill, that is, the person who will take the blame for him.

The man in black didn't say a word, he neither wanted to surrender and plead guilty, nor did he say he would resist to the death. He also knew that with so many people around, his chance of running out was extremely slim and impossible.

"What's going on with Bao Zheng? And do you know who he is?" Gongsun Zhen still hasn't figured out what's going on. Tonight, Bao Zheng and his son Gongsun Ce came to look for him. He said that the murderer could be caught tonight, and asked him to come and have a look.

"It's very simple, whoever is missing here is whoever is missing." Gongsun Ce patiently explained to his not-so-bright father.

Gongsun Zhen carefully identified and thought among the group of people, and said in astonishment: "You mean..."

"That's right, it's him!" Bao Zheng stopped Gongsun Zhen with a voice, and continued to explain the murderer's entire modus operandi.

"I don't know if you still remember. We found the murder cross at the scene of the two murders. What the two princes left behind was what Chu Chu saw outside the window. What I want to tell you now is that the murder cross that Chu Chu saw It is not the same as what the two princes saw. Look, everyone, this is the lampshade in the room of Prince Li Gang of Korea!" Bao Zheng showed everyone the lampshade brought by Lu Butou, and everyone saw the lampshade near the candle. In the place of the fire was the dead body of a caterpillar.

"What's wrong with being just a caterpillar?"

"Normal caterpillars are definitely fine, but the caterpillar that happened to appear at the murder scene has a big problem. Because the caterpillar is close to the light, it will gradually grow bigger, and the shadow projected on the wall is like this!"

Gongsun Ce took the lampshade from Bao Zheng's hand and covered it on the light, forming a shadow of a cross with the hat string hanging from Lu Butou who was hiding on the beam.

"Chuchu, did you see the murder cross that night like this?" Bao Zheng pointed to the shadow on the wall, turned his head and asked Ling Chuchu.

"That's right, that's how it is." Ling Chuchu took a look and nodded in affirmation.

"There's someone on the beam?!" Everyone was shocked when they saw Butou Lu lying on the beam.

"That's right! To form a murderous cross with the caterpillar's projection, it means that there was someone on the beam at that time, and the murderer had already hidden in Prince Li Gang's room at that time, or he was careless and didn't even know that the hat rope fell off. .”

"Then you mean to say that the murder crosses seen by the crown prince and the seventh prince are the same?" General Park said.

"That's impossible. When your seventh prince was killed, there couldn't be a caterpillar in the lampshade too! In fact, the crown prince and the seventh prince saw the killing cross." Bao Zheng took out a yamen servant borrowed from the yamen. Clothes, pointing to the silver needle cross on the girdle of the clothes for everyone to see.

"Are you saying that the murderer was actually a man in the uniform of a government official?!" Cui Guanghao

"Yes."

"Then how did the murderer kill the person? We rushed in as soon as we heard the voice of the deceased. How could the murderer kill the prince and the seventh prince in such a short time?" Gongsun Zhen

"It's very simple." As soon as Bao Zheng finished speaking, Ling Chuchu who was standing outside suddenly yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the matter? What's the matter, what's the matter?" Everyone rushed out to ask Ling Chuchu what's wrong.

"I didn't yell. I didn't yell just now." Ling Chuchu looked ignorant, shrugged her shoulders and waved her hands again and again. At this moment, Aunt Bao came out from the hidden corner and said that she was actually the one who yelled just now.

"When everyone heard the loud cry and turned around, and saw Chuchu standing outside the door, they would naturally think that it was her calling. In the same way, when we heard the cry from the deceased's room, we would also think it was the deceased's. The sound, in fact, is the murderer's deception." Gongsun Ce separated the group of people in front, and explained to everyone as he walked to the front.

"According to what you said, we didn't see the murderer when we arrived, so how did the murderer escape?"

"Actually, the murderer didn't escape at all..."

Feng Wu left without listening to Bao Zheng's reasoning and explanation. It was nothing more than the murderer hiding behind the door, sneaking into the crowd when everyone was shocked by the deceased, and leaving with them swaggeringly; The purpose of Shen Liang's killing of the two was to destroy the peace talks between Goryeo and Song Dynasty, so that the Liao army could have a chance to invade Song territory. For the benefit of his family and country, Shen Liang could be considered a man who left his hometown and hid in Song Dynasty for more than ten years.

The next day, when Feng Wu saw Bao Zheng and the others again, their faces were filled with sorrow, and the dark circles under their eyes were heavier than the other. After listening to Chu Chu, it turned out that Shen Liang's real identity was the Generalissimo of the Liao Kingdom Yelu Chuxiong's son, Yelu Liangcai, knew that if his purpose was exposed, he would definitely not survive, so he committed suicide on the spot.

"Brother Bao, everyone has their own mission and responsibility. Shen Liang's responsibility is to fight for the interests of his country. Now that things are revealed, he should bear the consequences. Although Shen Liang's departure will make you painful, you also It was all worth it to save tens of millions of people in Luzhou and even the Great Song Dynasty." Feng Wu didn't know how to comfort Bao Zheng, so he could only find two reasons bluntly, but obviously what she said was very bad, Bao Zheng After hearing this, Zheng just twitched the corners of his mouth.

The case of the murder of the prince of Goryeo was settled, and Shen Liang's body was taken back by Cui Shangshu of Goryeo and handed over to King Goryeo for execution. As for the peace talks between Goryeo and Song Dynasty, Goryeo will send another envoy.

The Baxian King also wanted to return to Beijing to report to the emperor what happened in Luzhou, but Feng Wu did not go back with him, insisting on staying in Luzhou to wait for Bao Zheng and the others to go to Beijing for the exam before going back.The Eight Sage Kings couldn't hold back their daughter, but fortunately Bao Zheng and the others were going to Beijing soon, so they let her mess around. Before leaving, they still asked Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others to take care of Feng Wu.

Feng Wu sent her fox father away, and returned to the government office with Gongsun and his son. During the period of going to Beijing, she still lived in the government office. After all, there is such a comfortable place, and she will not stay in an inn or post house foolishly; It's daytime!So I went to Aunt Bao's medicine house to help her treat the people in Luzhou City. If there were no patients, I would discuss medical skills with Aunt Bao.
