Tibet

At dawn the next day, a horrified scream came from the Furong Courtyard of the Jiaofang Villa. A maid rolled out and ran out, shouting: "Someone is coming soon, killing someone!"

People around him came running after hearing the news. Dozens of people surrounded the room, talking in low voices. In the room, a young man was lying naked at the door of the bathroom wearing underwear. There was a pool of blood on his back and on the ground. , has solidified.

"Get out of the way!"

The fat steward of the workshop pushed through the crowd and came in. He took a look inside the room and suddenly took a breath of air and asked, "Who was killed?"

The old bustard said tremblingly: "It's Young Master Yang!"

"Young Master Yang, please speak clearly!"

"It's Yang Xiangguo's fourth son!"

"ah!"

The steward of the monastery was struck by thunder. He stood there for a moment, his vision went dark, and he fainted from fright.

When the people watching the excitement heard that the deceased was Yang Guozhong's son, they all left in a hurry for fear of getting into trouble.

The steward slowly woke up and cried with a trembling voice: "Hurry. Hurry and report to the official!"

Not long after, Wannian County Magistrate Zheng Keshan and County Lieutenant Feng Min hurried over with a large number of government officials, immediately sealed off the Jiaofang annex and began to investigate all relevant personnel.

At this time, someone shouted: "Jing Zhaoyin is here!"

The deceased was the son of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and a member of the Yang family. The case was so serious that it actually alerted Jing Zhaoyin Li Xian, who rushed to the scene of the crime with more than 20 of his men.

County magistrate Zheng Keshan hurriedly came forward to pay his respects. Li Xian asked, "Have you confirmed the deceased?"

"Reporting to the envoy, the deceased has been identified and is Yang Xi, the fourth son of Yang Xiangguo."

"When did he die and who was the murderer?"

Zheng Keshan winked at County Lieutenant Feng Min, and Feng Min hurriedly stepped forward and said: "According to our judgment, he died last night. We don't know who the murderer is, but it must be related to the new dancer Qiao Furong, but this dancer Ji and her personal maid are missing."

Li Xian asked again: "Has the crime scene been moved?"

"Basically not moving!"

"Okay! You are responsible for investigating the interpersonal relationship between the deceased and the suspect. We will check the scene."

"Follow the order!"

Zheng Keshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to summon relevant people for detailed interrogation.

Li Xian walked into the room. The man who followed Li Xian into the room was named Peng Haiyan. He was a master of investigating crimes and one of Li Xian's most capable assistants.

He looked around the four connected rooms, and then looked at the bathroom for a while. He carefully inspected Yang Xi's body.

"Did you see anything?" Li Xian asked.

Peng Haiyan nodded and said: "There are three people in the room, two women and the deceased. One woman is tall and has very dexterous movements. The other is young and thin. She should be the dancer Qiao Furong and her maid. The person who did it was relatively tall, I guessed it was Qiao Furong. He used a very thin and pointed weapon, a bit like a water thorn, to stab directly into the back of the heart. One blow was fatal, but he added another one. This knife penetrated the spine, and unexpectedly The fact that it was pierced shows that she is very powerful and is a martial arts practitioner."

"How to kill?"

Peng Haiyan pointed to the curtain next to him and said: "The assassin is hiding here. Her maid is bathing in the bathtub in the room. Qiao Furong pretends to call Yang Xi to come over and take a bath with her. Yang Xi comes with his shirtless body and only a pair of pants on. , This ensured that Yang Xi was not wearing protective inner armor. There was a lot of water vapor in the bathroom at that time and he could not see clearly. Yang Xi could only vaguely see a woman in the bathtub. He thought it was Qiao Furong and lost his alertness. He was caught by Qiao Furong. Knife from behind."

"Then what?"

Li Xian asked again: "Did they leave any clues?"

Peng Haiyan shook his head, "They had a premeditated plan. All the things they left behind were from the annex. They didn't own anything themselves."

"If you search carefully, I'll go out and ask!"

Li Xian walked back to the courtyard. The fat steward followed the county lieutenant Feng Min in. Li Xian said: "I want to know everything about Qiao Furong!"

The fat steward said tremblingly: "Qiao Furong's real name is Zhang Wuyang. She is sixteen years old this year. She came from Luoyang a month ago. She has a recommendation letter from Luoyang Peony House, saying that her dancing skills are the best. We also took the exam. She is indeed very good." , so she stayed at the Jiaofang annex. Last night was her first time receiving a guest. Unexpectedly, she

"How do you know this is her first time receiving a guest?"

"She claims to be a virgin and does not sell her body as a performer. We can also see that she has never been exposed to anyone and is a virgin."

"Then why did you sell yourself last night?"

"Because the benefactor is the son of Yang Xiangguo, we also persuaded her that she might be able to join the Yang family as a concubine, and she agreed."

Li Xian nodded, "Is she targeting Yang Xi? But what if Yang Xi doesn't come to the villa?"

County Lieutenant Feng Min bowed and said: "Li Shijun, there is something fishy here. I am humble and asked in detail. The day before yesterday was Yang Xi's seventeenth birthday. I should have come to celebrate his birthday last night. It was arranged by a man named Wu Gui. Qiao Furong also ordered the venue, and asked Qiao Furong to dance."

"Is it Wu Xin's son Wu Gui?"

"it's him!"

The fat steward quickly said: "Wu Gui has been here several times, and asked Qiao Furong to sleep with him several times, but Qiao Furong refused flatly, because this is a teaching workshop, and after the Shenlong Party incident, he did not dare to mess around. He treated Qiao Furong Fleur has always held a grudge.”

Li Xian said calmly: "This woman is very scheming. If Wu Gui is involved, Wu Gui will have many enemies!"

At this time, Peng Haiyan walked to the door and said, "Shijun, her target is Yang Xi!"

"What did you find?"

"Please come and take a look!"

Li Xian led everyone into the room. Peng Haiyan pointed to the bedside and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

He saw more than a dozen sheep engraved on the bedside, and each sheep had its head chopped off with a sword. Li Xian took a breath of air, he was going to attack all the Yang family!

He immediately said to Feng Min: "You guys immediately send Luoyang Peony Song and Dance Studio to investigate Zhang Wuyang's situation!"

Li Xian said to Peng Haiyan again: "Go and find Wu Gui in Jingzhao Mansion. I want to ask him about his situation!"

At this moment, Yang Guozhong rushed into the yard with several people like a gust of wind. When he saw his son's body, he fell to his knees, caressed the body and burst into tears.

The murder of Yang Guozhong's son immediately became a sensation in Chang'an, replacing the previous topic of the victory of the Tang Army in Anxi in Hezhong. The Yang family was originally the top star in Chang'an, and Yang Guozhong's son was killed in the Jiaofang, which attracted more attention. At this time, not many people paid attention to the victory of Anxi Army.

Li Linfu's carriage returned to the mansion as usual. In the past two days, they were supposed to discuss the arrangements of Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli. Yang Guozhong had been obstructing them and tried his best to obliterate the victory of the Anxi Army. Now that his son is dead, he is probably not in the mood to sabotage himself. It’s a good plan.

After the carriage entered the mansion, Li Linfu got out of the carriage, took out a piece of paper and handed it to his confidant Wang Kuan: "Send it to Runzhou Wulang by pigeon letter tomorrow morning!"

His grandson is coming back, and of course Li Linfu wants to reunite the whole family.

Walking into the study, the eldest son Li Xiu said at the door: "Father, the child needs to see you for something!"

Li Linfu was also about to look for him, so he nodded and said, "Come in!"

Li Xiu walked in quickly. Currently, Li Xiu is the minister of Dali Temple and has some real power in his hands.

This was also the compensation given by the emperor Li Longji to Li Linfu for voluntarily resigning as the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Ling. After all, Li Xiu was the eldest son. This kind of compensation would of course fall on the eldest son.

Li Xiu knelt down and saluted: "Tell father first that Jiu Mei is back!"

The ninth sister Li Xiu is talking about is Li Linfu's ninth daughter, named Li Tengkong. She is a disciple of Lie Feng and is currently concentrating on Taoism at Lingyun Temple in Lushan Mountain.

Li Linfu had too many children, and he didn't care at all about this daughter who had been rebellious since she was a child and wanted to seek immortality. He had his own phoenix to care about her, and he didn't have that much energy.

"Let's talk about her later!"

Li Linfu said calmly: "I want to know about Yang Xi's murder case. Please tell me!"
