Nightwatcher

【Dead: Heng Hui】

[Cause of death: A sharp knife pierced the heart (an old wound). 】

[Autopsy results: the flesh and viscera are black and purple, and there are corpses running between the flesh and blood to keep the flesh from rotting. The walking corpse is also dead for more than a year. 】

【Dead: Nameless Corpse】

[Height five feet four inches, female, well-proportioned bones, no fractures, no signs of poisoning, well-proportioned finger bones, not good at working]

Inside the yamen, Xu Qi'an read the autopsy reports, exchanged them to Zuo Zuo, and turned to enter the front hall next to the autopsy room.

Ten golden gongs gathered together, Wei Yuan sat at the head, drinking tea with a solemn expression.

Xu Qi'an walked behind Wei Yuan silently, listening to the Jin Luos arguing about the real body of the female corpse, the connection between Princess Pingyang and the Sangbo case.

The case of Princess Pingyang is considered to be a preliminary conclusion so far. The follow-up investigation estimated that I would not be able to intervene. This involves the murder of a princess, and it is not something that a gong like me can participate in.

But the Sangbo case is still unsolved. I don’t know if my contribution in the Pingyang princess case can offset my crime of beheading. If not, I will fuck Yuan Jingdi’s uncle.

Just as he was slandering in his heart, an official stood at the door and said, "Duke Wei, my lords, King Yu is here."

When King Yu came, the golden gongs exchanged glances with each other, and then looked at Wei Yuan together.

The gray-haired eunuch in Tsing Yi drank the last sip of tea, looked at the officials, and said gently: "Please go to the autopsy room, King Yu."

After finishing speaking, he put down his glass, sighed, and went to the autopsy room first, followed by everyone in the side hall.

When they got outside the autopsy room, the Jin Luos did not go in, but lined up on both sides of the door, and only Wei Yuan entered.

King Yu came, and this sick man walked over with a blank expression on his face. There was obviously no expression on his face, but it seemed that all the expressions had gathered together.

His footsteps are not fast or slow, but it seems that there are evil spirits chasing after him.

When he walked outside the door of the autopsy room, he paused for a few seconds before raising his legs and stepping over the threshold.

The autopsy room is well lit, and the bright sunlight shines through the lattice windows, leaving even spots of light on the ground.

King Yu saw the corpses placed on the wooden bed at a glance, and at this moment, he had the urge to escape from this place.

But as a father's obsession, he walked slowly.

Wei Yuan was the only one in the autopsy room. He took out the gold hairpin from his sleeve, and said softly, "This is what she found from her body, and she used it to commit suicide. Let's see if you know her."

King Yu's gaze froze, and his expression also froze, like a sculpture that is gradually weathering.

"It's hers." Yu Wang said shyly.

The empty room fell into dead silence, and the two middle-aged men did not speak again.

After a long, long time, looking down at King Yu of Nobile, he asked hoarsely, "Who did it."

"Only three people were found. Uncle Ping Yuan, Shangshu Zhang Feng of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are all involved." Wei Yuan stared at him, with the vicissitudes washed out by the years in his deep eyes:

"The initial plan of the three of them should be to trick her out of the capital, but their young master just saw it for sex, and never thought of letting the princess who escaped from the sight of Prince Yu's mansion go back alive."

"She was insulted?" Yuwang's voice was terrifyingly calm.

"She committed suicide by swallowing a hairpin." Wei Yuan shook his head, and after finishing speaking, he took a deep look at King Yu: "But we still can't be sure that she is the princess, and a gold hairpin doesn't mean anything.

"I think you know what to do."

King Yu left, except for the moment he stepped into the autopsy room, he never saw the bones, not even once. It seemed that it was something horrible.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but looking at his leaving back, Xu Qi'an felt that King Yu had aged a lot in an instant, and his back actually had the desolation of the twilight years.

On this day, King Yu entered the palace holding a book in blood.

After King Yu left, Xu Qi'an, who was going to wait silently for the end of the Pingyang princess case to gain important clues about the Sangbo case, received an invitation from the Eldest Princess Huaiqing.

The person who spread the word was a handsome servant, that is, a little eunuch.

"What does the eldest princess want me for?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"I don't know." The little eunuch was taciturn, well versed in how to survive in the palace, his mouth was shut tighter than a chrysanthemum.

Most likely it was because of Princess Pingyang, Xu Qi'an had a guess.

He hurried all the way to the imperial city, entered the palace, and was led by the little eunuch to the elegant garden of Princess Huaiqing.

In the gazebo in the garden, Xu Qi'an saw Princess Huaiqing, the second princess mounted, His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the fourth prince who is the elder brother of Princess Huaiqing.

"I've seen some of your highnesses." Xu Qi'an stood outside the gazebo, clasped his fists and said.

Princess Lin'an beckoned, and shouted happily: "You dog slave, come in and sit down."

When did dog minion become my pet name? Xu Qi'an was a little dazed, and glanced at the crown prince and Princess Huaiqing, the latter's voice was cold: "You don't need to look outside, and give Master Xu a seat."

The maid moved a chair and set it opposite the highnesses.

Eldest Princess Huaiqing looked at him and said: "Today King Yu entered the palace with a blood book in his hand. After being summoned by his father, he has not come out. I remember that you are investigating the case of Princess Pingyang, have you made any progress?"

His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, and Princess Lin'an were all staring at him, waiting for his answer.

Princess Pingyang is their cousin, who grew up together since childhood and has a very deep relationship.

"Princess Pingyang" Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and began to speak eloquently.

This is a simple and unadorned love story, but it is destined to be extraordinary, because the heroine in the story is a noble princess, she should never, never should, never fall in love with a monk.

But the taste of love is so wonderful, she is willing to abandon everything, abandon the glory and wealth, abandon the identity of the clan, leave the capital with him, and join hands for the rest of her life.

However, not all love has an ending. The gifted scholars and beautiful women in the storybook can always have a lover and get married, because that is the storybook. Reality has too many unpredictable changes.

They finally became the victims of the political struggle. Perhaps before the doom came, the young lovers were still imagining the future of living together and living together.

Xu Qi'an calmly told the story, and remembered a song he heard many years ago:

"Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together, and the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating."

"Quietly ask the holy monk whether the daughter is beautiful or not, and whether the daughter is beautiful or not."

"What do you say about royal power and wealth, what are you afraid of?"

"I only wish that the sky and the earth will last forever, and I will be with the person I want closely."

He had never seen Princess Pingyang before, but he seemed to see a bright girl with smiling eyes, standing beside Monk Jun prettyly.

Put a wild flower between the temples and ask him if the flower looks better, or me.

Xu Qi'an let out a foul breath, stood up and cupped his fists: "That's how it happened, I have important things to do in a lowly position, so I'll take my leave first."

Princess Huaiqing silently nodded.

Xu Qi'an left quickly, and vaguely heard Princess Lin'an's cry behind him.

It wasn't until he left the imperial city that he broke free from that depressed mood.

A carriage came galloping and stopped at the bottom of the Star Observation Building. Eunuch Liu, who had a pale face but already had some crow's feet, jumped out of the carriage in panic before the attendants brought the ladder.

Eunuch Liu rushed into the Star Observation Tower, holding up the imperial decree in his hand: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the prisoner will enter the palace immediately."

He shouted three times in succession.

In order to prevent collusion between Sitianjian warlocks and officials, this dynasty ordered that the qi-watching technique is not effective for officials of the fourth rank and above.

But there is one exception, Jianzheng!

"Stop shouting, the teacher has already gone to the palace."

A voice suddenly came from beside him, Eunuch Liu turned his head abruptly, and saw Yang Qianhuan in white standing with his hands behind his back, his back to him.

"Yang Qianhuan, when did you return to Beijing?" Eunuch Liu was taken aback.

"When the capital needs me, I will come back." Yang Qianhuan said calmly.

"Talking all day long, can't you speak well?" Eunuch Liu spat at him displeasedly, then turned his head and left.

"" Yang Qianhuan.

Hit the yamen.

In the quiet room, Xu Qi'an, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly felt palpitations, very much like the palpitations when he heard the beeping of QQ after staying up all night.

This is the unique "message reminder" of the fragments of the book from the ground. He interrupted his visualization and took out the small jade mirror.

[No. 9: No. 6 has been found. Currently, people are hunting for the yamen. You can rest assured. 】

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an frowned. The heart said long, didn't you say this nakedly: there are twenty-five boys from the Tiandihui in the daguanmen's yamen.

[Five: Have you found number six? However, No. 6 is more dangerous in the prisoner's office. I heard that the prisoner in Dafeng is all wicked and ruthless. 】

[No. 1: The rumors are unbelievable. Daoist, you found No. 6? 】

[No. 9: As expected, No. 6 was indeed sealed. The person who sealed him was a strong man in a black robe. It was given to the watchman Yamen. 】

The words of the Taoist priest are fine, so my source can explain it. If No. 1 holds a high position in the court, he must already know about the case of Princess Pingyang.

Reverse reasoning, I, the Tonggong who discovered the trace of Henghui, will become very suspicious, and the words of the Taoist priest are equivalent to patching me.

If someone asks, I can say that it is the enthusiastic Chaoyang masses who reported it.

In this way, the relationship between me and No. 3 is cleared up.

[No. 1: I got news that the Sangbo case involved the disappearance of Princess Pingyang a year ago. Soon, the capital will usher in a big storm. 】

[Four: What's the situation? 】

Number four jumped out to eat melons.

On the 1st, he briefly told the members of the Tiandihui about the case of Princess Pingyang, and with just a few words, he outlined a party and government in the hearts of everyone.

Give everyone plenty of room for imagination.

[Five: This, is your Dafeng's heart black? So despicable and insidious. 】

[Four: Who investigated this case? 】

Seeing this question, Xu Qi'an frowned, and entered the message: [I heard that it is a gong who beats the watchman's yamen, and his name is Xu Qi'an. 】

[Four: Xu Qi'an? Why is it familiar. 】

[Three: No. 1 mentioned this person when he investigated Yunlu Academy's clean air. I also paid attention to him, observed him, and came to a terrible conclusion. 】

[Terrible conclusion? ] Several Tiandihui members successively issued similar rhetorical questions.

[Three: This son is extremely intelligent and unparalleled in talent, and he is definitely not something in the pool. 】

To be praised so much by No. 3, this Tongluo named Xu Qi'an is an extremely powerful character. Everyone silently remembered this name.

Daoist Jinlian was a little embarrassed and didn't speak.

At this time, number two erupted into a speech: [number three, I found Zhou Chixiong's trace. 】

Xu Qi'an, who didn't respond when he boasted, jumped out immediately: 【Where is he? 】

[Two: One of my brothers saw him in a certain village, and that village happened to be the one I was going to destroy soon. Just wait, I will send him back to the capital after I pull out the village. 】

Did No. 2 really find Zhou Chixiong? Yunzhou is so big, and banditry is rampant. Even though she has a lot of energy in Yunzhou, she didn't find Zhou Chixiong so quickly. It's either a coincidence, or I underestimated the ability of No. 2. Xu Qi'an clapped excitedly.

Catch Zhou Chixiong, and you will know who is behind the collusion with the Yaozu.

[Three: Thank you. 】

[Two: Small things, friends from all corners of the country are willing to sell me face. Finding someone is nothing to me. 】

Your face is not ordinary, everyone thought.

After the internal communication of Tiandihui ended, Xu Qi'an felt much more at ease. Zhou Chixiong is another insurance for him. Catch this person, even if the case of Princess Pingyang cannot exonerate him, he still does not panic.

Now, just wait for the outcome of the case.

PS: There is another chapter tonight.
