When Zhan Zhao arrived at the scene, the moon was already in the sky.

Under the soft and bright moonlight, an exquisitely handcrafted bow and arrow lay quietly on the ground, but the owner was nowhere to be found.He walked over slowly, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and held it in his hand. The bow was cold, and it had long lost the warmth of the owner holding it.

"What's going on?" He suppressed the deep worry in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Gongsun Ce, who came with him, said: "Huangfu and I came together to see if we found anything. When she speculated about the murderer's actions and came outside the house, she found someone in front..." Gongsun Ce pointed forward, the original circular flower garden In the middle, there was a small space, "She hinted at me to bring reinforcements when she was restraining the other party."

Zhan Zhao walked over, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to lightly touch the ground. The soil on the ground was sticky. He raised his hand and saw that the color of the soil on his fingertips was wrong.

He stood up, his handsome facial features tense at this moment, "She shot the person you met at the beginning, there must be more than one person."

Gongsun Ce said: "When I left, I only saw a tall and thin man. He was wearing night clothes, and his whole body was hidden in the shadows. I couldn't see his appearance clearly. Huangfu is very good at guessing the murderer's actions. I think it’s good to come and take a look with her, maybe she can find some problems that I have missed.” Pausing, Gongsun Ce, whose voice has always been very calm, has a bit of self-blame in his tone, “We should It was my carelessness to bring the yamen servant with me."

Zhan Zhao was silent, speechless for a while.

He imagined that when Gongsun Ce had an accident last time, he comforted Huang Funan and told Gongsun Ce that it was not anyone's fault.

This is indeed not Gongsun Ce's fault, but Zhan Zhao felt an inexplicable anger in his heart at this moment, he was even thinking why Gongsun Ce left Huangfu Nan at that time, if it was him, if——

But there is no such thing as if, Zhan Zhao was surprised to find that he would also blame others for favoring one person.

And having said that, even though Gongsun Ce was naturally smart and resourceful, if he stayed with Huangfu Nan at that time, Kaifeng Mansion would probably only have one more missing person.

Zhan Zhao raised his hand and rubbed his face, and finally couldn't help but explode, "Damn it."

Gongsun Ce: "..."

He looked at Zhan Zhao circling around like a headless chicken, and said, "I've analyzed it before you came, and there was no sign of a fight at the scene. Huangfu should have been conspired and taken away behind his back." Yes." If it wasn't for plotting behind the scenes, the other party probably wouldn't be able to take Huangfu Nan away. Although Gongsun Ce didn't witness the scene where Huangfu Nan rescued the hero in Hangzhou that day, he usually saw her practice arrows in Kaifeng's mansion. The arrow in the bow is never shot in vain.

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao forced himself to suppress the boredom in his heart, "Could it be the murderer who killed Feng Tian?"

"I think it should be." Gongsun Ce took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "This is the jade pendant I found among the flowers and plants on the wall. It should be the night before when the murderer killed Feng Tian and left. Accidentally dropped it."

"This jade pendant should be very important to the murderer, that's why he took the risk to come back to the scene to look for it again, but he didn't expect to meet you and Huangfu." Zhan Zhao took the jade pendant, looked down at the jade pendant, the jade pendant felt quite good, Even people who don't know the goods can feel the preciousness of this jade pendant. An upside-down bat is carved in the middle of the round jade pendant, and there are some cloud patterns on the circumference.

Gongsun Ce: "Perhaps this jade pendant is the key to finding the murderer." Why would a young man committing crimes have such a precious jade pendant?

Zhan Zhao: "Then what are you waiting for, go back and draw the figure on the jade pendant, and send someone to find out the origin of this jade pendant."

Just when Kaifeng Mansion and others fell into depression because of Huangfu Nan's disappearance, Huangfu Nan was waking up in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city.

pain.

This was the only feeling she felt when she woke up. Her neck hurt like hell, which shows how ruthless the person who attacked her was.

She groaned in a low voice, opened her eyes, and looked at the surrounding environment.The dilapidated temple was dilapidated, and there were still a few holes in the roof. The sunlight shone in through the holes and cast a few light spots on the ground.Slowly moving her head, she found herself staring at Second Brother Guan on the broken altar.

Huangfu Nan: "..."

Her hands and feet were tied, and she lay on her side on the ground. The sour taste... Huangfu Nan felt that she would never want to taste it again in her life.It took a lot of effort for her to sit up sweating profusely.Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were also tied, but they were merciful and didn't stuff anything messy into her mouth.That's right, in the wilderness, even if she shouted loudly, the birds would ignore her, let alone people.

There are no ghosts, how can I save myself?

Just when Huangfu Nan was distressed, she saw a shadow in front of her, it was a figure.

She raised her eyes and saw that the other party was standing at the door with the light behind her.She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked calmly, "Who are you?"

The person who stepped in was wearing a dark purple gown, and the face below the eyes was covered.

Huangfu Nan met his eyes and was startled, "It's you?"

The other party paused, squatted down, and looked at her at the same level, "You actually recognize me?"

Huangfu Nan pursed her lips, the other party was suddenly so close to her, she was not nervous, that was fake.Resisting the urge to shrink back, she didn't speak.

Such beautiful eyes are even worse than Fang Jie's Danfeng eyes, she has only seen it on a young man.That was the day when she and Mrs. Li were on their way back home from the Great Buddha Temple, they met the leader of the youth who assassinated Jiang Zhongxing.

The young man looked at her with a look of surprise in his eyes, "You're not afraid?" Before Huangfu Nan could speak, he sneered again and said, "That's right, as Lord Bao's righteous sister, the current emperor has given me special privileges. Although you have no official position, you can sit on an equal footing with the people of Kaifeng Mansion and investigate the case, and you probably have a lot of courage."

"Not only is she not young, she dared to hurt my elder brother Yan, she was so courageous that she could drink alcohol long ago!"

A male duck's voice sounded, Huangfu Nan heard the sound and looked over, the person with the male duck's voice came in without covering his face.

Huangfu Nan's heart sank. He didn't cover his face... That means that the other party is not afraid that she will see his face clearly. Are they planning to kill people to silence him?

The boy seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and lowered his voice, "I wanted to let you go, but unfortunately you are too smart, I heard what you and Gongsun Ce said last night." Her guess was absolutely right , keep her, and sooner or later, the group of them will be cooked together.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from behind, Huangfu Nan raised his eyes to look at the young man, with some indescribable disappointment in those bright eyes, he asked softly: "Should I not make a move that day?"

The young man looked at her beautiful facial features intently, and said softly: "I took you away last night, and then I went straight out of the city. Although Gongsun Ce was smart, he went to ask Bao Zheng to order the city gate to be sealed, but he was a scholar, and his footsteps How can you compare with me? If you want to delay time and wait for reinforcements to come to rescue, that is impossible."

Huangfu Nan leaned against the broken wall behind her, and the cold wall pressed against her back, she couldn't help shivering.

The young man looked at her with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "I thought you wouldn't be afraid."

"I thought about my own life and death, but I didn't expect to die like this." Huangfu Nan closed his eyes, then opened them, and looked at the young man in front of him, "I thought that the deaths of those nobles in the city had nothing to do with you. "

The young man stood up, "How could it have nothing to do with me? If I told you that this was all planned by me, would you regret even more that you missed the knife that slashed at me in the forest that day?"

Huangfu Nan blinked, and answered irrelevantly: "Is the medicine hidden in the body real?"

The boy was startled and looked at her.

Huangfu Nan smiled wryly, "People are about to die, so if you want to die clearly, can't you?"

The boy looked at her for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and took off the black cloth covering his face.

Huangfu Nan: "..." She thought that Fang Jie was already pretty enough to make people feel uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her was so pretty that it made her want to vomit.

"My name is He Qiu, and my mother's surname. My father's surname is Jiang." When he mentioned his father, there was a flash of affection in his eyes, but in an instant, it was full of resentment.

Father's surname is Jiang?

Huangfu Nan was dumbfounded when he heard this.Even though she thought she was not someone who had never seen the world, she was shocked by the thoughts in her heart and widened her eyes, "Is Jiang Zhongxing your biological father?"

He Qiu was stunned, "You know?"

Huangfu Nan closed his eyes, feeling that his thoughts were a little out of control.It has been almost a day since she was taken away. Within a day, she didn't touch a drop of water, didn't eat a grain of rice, she was thirsty and hungry, and she suffered tremendous physical and mental damage.Cold sweat had begun to ooze from her forehead, and her voice was weak. Instead of worrying about He Qiu and Jiang Zhongxing, she asked instead: "You can escape by killing five people. Before you do it, you must do it." Have you worked hard?"

At such a young age, he can make people who are older than him look up to him. This young man's ability is really amazing.

He Qiu glanced at her coldly, "Lust and pleasure-seekers are all of the same breed. The more exciting the more, the more I like them. I can figure out their mentality and let my companions play new tricks with them according to their preferences. Naturally, they are willing. Follow along."

"They all have a place in the court, and they are more defensive than ordinary people. How could they be willing to go with your companions?"

He Qiu smiled slightly, leaned down, pinched Huangfu Nan's chin with his hands, and met her eyes directly, "What have these people done in private, do you know? What is our fault, why should we bear it? After being tired of being played by others, they abandon them like weeds. Who gave them such rights? My companions killed all their former masters. Who would know these people better than those who once loved them Weaknesses? They are not as good-looking as they were when they were young, and their voices have also changed, but they still have some tricks!"

The boy gritted his teeth and said, the strength in his hands increased, and Huangfu Nan felt that his jaw was about to be crushed.
