MTL - Peerless-Chapter 2
In such weather, it is undoubtedly very difficult to investigate the case that has happened overnight.
This place is very close to Liugong City. The envoy of the Yu country came to the Da Sui tribute and was killed halfway. The news spread back to the city. The county magistrate was not scared, and he was afraid of being involved.
Just at this time, the capital came again, and the other party came to pick up the messenger by the order of the Son of Heaven. Who knew it had not been received, but caught up with such a murder.
Liugong County was trembling with fear and arrogance. He only wanted to send hot potato. To his surprise, this distinguished guest from a distant place in Beijing seemed difficult to get along with, but said nothing. When he took the case, he took it immediately. People came out of the city to see.
County lieutenant Liu Lin looked up and watched the wind stop, and the snow stopped, he couldn't help but breathe out.
As the county captain of Liugong County, the messenger Yu Yu died outside the city, and the court will hold him accountable. He must be able to blame him. I do n’t know where the thieves are so bold, even the messengers of other countries dare to rob kill. However, after all, I have not heard of any particularly arrogant bandits near Liugong City in recent years. Those little thieves are afraid to suffer outside the city ...
As he thought about it, he looked over at the body behind him.
The captives scrambled to clear away most of the surrounding snow, and the corpse was gradually exposed, most of them were killed like a deceased just now.
Only the man in the carriage in the carriage died with a sharp blade running through his chest.
Liu Lin picked up the long knife half-plugged in the snow and looked at it, suddenly exclaiming: "Turkish sword!"
"There is also a Turkic sword here!" Shouted another captive.
The blade rolled up and the residual blood remained. This was a knife that had killed many people.
Was it really the Turks? !! Liu Lin was shocked.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Everyone knows that the fighting between Turkic and Da Sui is about to break out, and the border often stays idle, daring to relax, and the Turkic people have been dissatisfied with the small Sui country's intention to take refuge in the Sui Dynasty. Sui thus provoked relations between the two countries.
Liu Lin's ideas represent the ideas of most people.
So far, the case can be almost qualitative, but Liu Lin can't help but have a headache for the next aftermath: Turks are here and maybe sneak into the city. Recently, Linlang Pavilion will be held once a year in Liugongcheng semicolon. The auction, the world ’s wealthy idlers, rivers, lakes, three religions, and nine streams, all came together here at this time, at this time there was another murder involving the messenger ...
He can almost foresee his next situation. As long as a black pot that allows Turkic people to sneak in and kill the messenger is detained, he will be able to walk around.
Thinking that he might soon lose the position of county captain, Liu Lin felt dark and softened his hands and feet.
Under the nobleman's hand, the young man named Pei was just getting out of the overturned carriage and holding a small treasure cabinet in his arms.
This eight treasure cabinet is a style that has been popular in Beijing in recent years. It has three small and exquisite layers, and there are eight compartments inside. It can be placed in rouge gouache and various kinds of preserves. It is very convenient to put in the compartment. So loved by women. Some women's family members of noble people, the eight treasure cabinet is extremely luxurious, not only decorative onyx, but also inlaid with precious stones and jade beads, has changed from a practical appliance to a precious display of comparison and display.
The eight treasure cabinets held in Pei Jingxu's arms, although not as glamorous as those in Beijing, are also carved out of good wood. Looking closely, the woman in the costume of Qiang is dancing, full of exotic charm.
The three drawers were pulled apart one by one.
The first layer contains preserves such as dried peaches and apricots, and the second layer contains head and face jewelry. When the third layer was opened, Huang Chengcheng looked at first glance. Liu Lin took a closer look and found that it was some women's flowers for veneering. Yellow, star moon fish insects, cut with gold leaf.

Say --- this is a gorgeous dividing line ---
It seems that there are female dependents in this team, Liu Lin thought.
This is also normal. It is said that the ambassador Yu is an aristocrat of the 阗, who will not send a few beautiful 妾 婢 出 to other countries when he is sent to other countries. But unfortunately, they had to see the prosperity of Daxingcheng in the future, and they were already halfway there.
"Look for any women's bodies present." At the same time, the man spoke.
As soon as he spoke, everyone naturally obeyed, and they all dismounted to search.
The original worthy dad, which was worn on a man, was thrown in the snow alone, and Liu Lin gave a distressed glance, secretly muttered a few words, barely raised the spirit and followed the search.
This convoy, in addition to the accompanying guards on horseback, has a total of four carriages, one for the messenger, one for the convoy supply, one for the tributes to be presented to Emperor Sui, and a small car. It should be The messenger's maid was seated, because everyone was right next to the car, and two female corpses buried under the snow were found, and their necks were also killed with a knife.
The two maids were quite attractive, and Liu Lin speculated that they should be the maid of Yu's messenger and the man in the room.
But when the man suddenly bent over and got closer, the tip of his nose was close to one of the dead maids, and he was almost going to kiss him. The beautiful side was snow-colored, and there was a dead man's face with blue and black, Liu Lin only looked It was creepy.
The man didn't care, the thin lips still lingered on the cheek of the corpse, all the way down, and even reached out to unlock the blood-stained collar of the other person. It looked like a light-hearted assassin, even the original calm young People, can't help but slightly change color, lost his voice: "Lang Jun!"
"Noisy." The man shouted, walked next to another female corpse, squatted down, bowed his head, sniffed for a long time at the neck where the corpse had been cut open for more than half of his throat, and finally spoke again. . "
Who else is there? Liu Lin stunned.
The man said impatiently: "The residual aroma in the carriage is not the same as that of these two women. There is also a woman, find out!"
Everyone heard the words and hurriedly searched, but in the end only 21 corpses were found. There were no female corpses except the two maids.
The man told Liu Lin: "Leave a team of people to clean up the scene and take the bodies back."
Is this done?
Yu Yan's ambassador died here. King Yu Yan must be held accountable. When the body was removed, and there was no evidence until Xuerong sunrise, they could not investigate the case?
Liu Lin was so confused, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he had to look at Pei frequently, winking at him and begging silently.
Pei sighed in sigh, picked up the big **** who had just been put on the ground, and confessed to be the scolded person: "Lang Jun, shall we go now, both the carriage and the horse?"
The man asked, "You tell me, what else can you do here?"
Liu Linqi Ai Ai interjected: "Are the weapons and carriages brought back together as evidence? In the future, Yu Xuan questioned, so we have evidence."
The man said, "You don't need to worry about the carriage, just bring a weapon back."
He didn't give much explanation, saying that the meteor stepped on the horse, turned his head, and the white and gray horse galloped away. The rest of them looked at each other and were at a loss.
After all, the capture of the border town is not as well trained as Beijing, let alone compared with Xiejian Mansion. Pei Jingzhe had to stay and explain to Liu Lin that the scene was handled properly, and a team of people was sent back to the city to carry the body and the weapon. Ride back to the city's autumn mountain courtyard.
Qiushan Beacon House is located in the southeast of Liugong City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is quiet. Zhao County makes his wife's house be a wealthy local family. Stay for a few days. This time the Beijing messenger had not yet arrived, he had already packed the other house, and as soon as the VIP arrived, he would welcome people here. If the other person is comfortable, maybe they are

Can be less guilty.
Pei Jingzhen really likes it here, especially now that Dongxue is not melting, the branches are fresh and green, and the courtyard is a little more elegant than Beijing. Every time you walk in, you will feel better.
But he knew that the current mood of the lord of Fengerfu would not be too good.
The copper bell swayed under the cornice, and the man sitting on the porch leaned back next to the porch looked lazy, but his fingers deftly rolled the letterhead into a small bamboo tube with the thickness of his thumb.
Pei Jingxi couldn't help walking lightly, but the other man's eyelashes flickered slightly, and his eyelids were slightly tilted, and he was aware of his arrival.
"Send someone and check, who is this messenger with?" Feng Xiao passed the bamboo tube to Pei Jingxi, said.
In the end, it was a city located between Xun and Liugong City, which belonged to Da Sui in name, but the court was busy dealing with Turkic and Southern Dynasties, and did not put much thought into this place for the time being.
From the Central Plains to the Western Regions, and the end city is a must-pass place. Over time, it became a buffer zone. Passing merchants from all corners of the world gathered to rest, and Jiejian Mansion had established a stronghold there to facilitate the collection and transmission of information.
Pei Jingxi took the bamboo tube in response and couldn't help asking: "Are you clueful in this case?"
Feng Xiao picked up a paper from the side and threw it to him.
Pei Jingxian grabbed it, opened it, and found out that it was written by King Yu Xun and was going to be presented to the Emperor Yang Jian by the messenger.
The above clearly stated the identity of the messenger. The other name was Yu Chijinwu, the nephew of King Yu. King Yu expressed his desire for heaven in the letter. I hope the two countries will form an alliance and exchange each other. Help each other and fight against Turks together.
To put it plainly, King Wang Yu hoped that Da Sui could help him deal with the Turkic people, but also afraid that the Sui Dynasty would take the opportunity to annex him.
The Jinshu Guoshu was originally presented to Emperor Sui, but now the messenger Yu is dead. In order to solve the case, the Guoshu has become one of the clues. Naturally, they must pass their hands first.
Yu Chi Jinwu and his party were killed, but the other party did not rob wealth or property, and even Guoshu was still in the carriage.
After Pei Jingyi browsed, closed the golden book, and said to Feng Xiao: "Lang Jun, Yu Yan died in Da Sui territory. One can destroy the power of the Da Sui, and the second caused Yu Yang to live in a gap with the Da Sui. This is indeed like It's something Turkic people can do. "
Feng Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did they use the Turkic sword when they entered the country to kill people? If they used the Central Plains weapon, wouldn't it be more deadly without evidence or traces?"
Pei Jingzhuo scratched his chin: "Turks have always acted rudely, so it is not surprising that they are so arrogant, and now that Turks and the Central Plains are sharpening their swords, they can get it, and if we know, why can't they?"
Feng Xiao: "You haven't noticed that there is one less important thing in the carriage?"
Pei Jingzhe pondered and thought, the most important books of the Golden Book are all there, what is missing? The ambassador Yu Yu entered the tribute, and the tribute he brought with him was not small ...
With a flash of light, he blurted out: "The gift list! I couldn't find the gift list just now!"
Feng Xiao snorted from his throat, and seemed to think he was not hopeless.
Pei Jingzheng has long been used to the temper of the two government chiefs. When he sees the other party ’s approval, he is flattered, and he keeps working hard: "The murderer took away the gift slip, did he want to steal the tributary without wanting to let us know? But we just have to trust Yulian Wang, can you also understand? "
Feng Xiao said: "Every time you go, the wasted time is enough for the other party to do a lot of things. You bring that eight treasure cabinet."
Pei Jingxuan walked away and took Babao's small cabinet in a while, and pulled out the three drawers inside.
Feng Xiao: "A few things are missing."
Pei was shocked and glanced into the drawer again.

Say-this is a gorgeous division-
He didn't notice anything missing.
But these words blurted out, and he would definitely be scolded again, so Pei Jingxie honestly said: "The villain is dull, and I still ask Lang Jun for advice."
Feng Xiao didn't sell Guanzi anymore: "Rouge gouache."
After being able to follow the owner of the second house of Xiejian Mansion, Pei Jingzhe was not a fool after all, and he connected it with a little thought.
"There is also a yellow flower in the small cabinet, which shows that there must be a rouge gouache for makeup, but the residual aroma in the carriage is different from that of the two maids, indicating that there is another woman on this trip, which is likely to be Yu Chijinwu's pet Alas, she was taken away by the murderer? No, no, the drawer has not been turned upside down, the things are neatly arranged, and the other party should take it easy when they take it ... "
Speaking of which, he was agitated and said suddenly: "Is the murderer the missing woman ?!"
Feng Xiao folded her sleeves. "She may not be the murderer, but it must be related to the murderer. Although the opponent uses a Turkic knife, she may not be a Turkic. Check it out and give me news within three days."
Pei Jingxi bowed slightly, "Yes."
...
Three days is not long, and short is not short. Every day, I feel lazy, and I feel long and hard, but if there is something to do, I blink.
Pei Jingkun knows Feng Xiao's temperament, saying that three days will be three days, and he will never give another hour, so after Feng Xiao ordered, he sent a pigeon and sent people to jump to the base of Xiejian City, Qiemo City to understand the situation However, the pigeons met the sand in the middle of the road, and there was no return. Fortunately, he prepared with two hands. In the evening of the third day, the people sent out finally had a reply.
"Talk about it." Feng Xiao half-eyed his eyes and didn't go to see the stationery he had brought with his hands.
Pei Jingxi said in 1510: "Wei Chi Jinwu came to Central Plains a few years ago and met a good-natured woman named Qin in Liugong City. He was shocked at the moment. After several pursuits, he finally accepted it as a concubine. She took it back to Yu. The Qin family was said to have been very favored by his side. Even this time he came to the Central Plains tributary, Yu Chi Jinwu took her with her. After the convoy was destroyed, the only missing woman should be this Qin It's gone. "
Feng Xiao: "That's it?"
Pei Jinghuan: "Qin's whereabouts of Li Qin's whereabouts have been sent to investigate, but after all, the distance is far away and there is no answer for a while, but her subordinate found out that her parents died and lived in her aunt's house and followed Wei Chi Jinwu. Later, her aunt's family also moved away. According to Qin's original neighbor, Youshe, she believed in Buddhism and was very religious. Before marrying, the most frequent places were the Jade Buddha Temple and Zixia View in the city, almost On the fifteenth day of every month, I will go to incense in person. "
Feng Xiao finally opened her eyes and hummed softly: "After a long day of nonsense, this last sentence is only a bit useful!"
Pei Jingxi aggrieved, "The subordinate must also finish the previous description before they can pick up the next one! The two places of the Jade Buddha Temple and Zixiaguan have been searched by others, and the Jade Buddha Temple was originally an incense in the city The most prosperous temple, but Zixia Guan is a little strange. This Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time. Usually, few people go at all. Qin wants to go to Xiangxiang. Why not find a more lively Taoist temple? "
Seeing Feng Xiao silent, he continued: "There are even more strange things. Just two months ago, Zixia Guan suddenly came to the town with a new Guanzhu, and immediately brought the incense from Taoguan, everyone It is said that Zi Xia Guan's medical skills are brilliant, Dao Changzhai's heart is kind, and even the gods enshrined in the concept are responsive and often manifest. "
Feng Xiao: "Who is the name of Xinguanzhu and what is it?"
Pei Jinghuan: "The surname is Cui, telling Cui not to go. It is said that it was a Yunyou Taoist priest. Others have not been found yet."
Cui does not go.
Where not to go, why not.
Where is the world?
The name rolled around Feng Xiao's tongue, bringing a slight arc of the corner of his lips.
interesting.
