Qi Si brought more than 20 Xiaohe and more than 200 soldiers. With sufficient manpower, the progress of all explorations was significantly accelerated.

When no one was paying attention, Qi Si whispered to Gu Zhao, "Sir, those little cranes were not found at all."

Gu Zhao's brows twitched, "Do you know their identities? Are you sure they are really the ones we control Hesi?"

Qi Si nodded, "They are Miss Lu's subordinates. I checked with them and found that there are indeed such people. Their appearance, name and whereabouts all match."

"But they just disappeared. No one was found. No one saw them since they entered and agreed. It seemed like they disappeared out of thin air."

Gu Zhao smiled coldly, "How can there be people who disappear out of thin air? They are not gods, they can go into the sky and into the earth."

The only explanation is that someone in the camp was covering up for them, and this person's status was high enough that Qi Si couldn't find any clues.

Qi Si realized this and his face became ugly.

"But His Majesty said that the real culprit must be caught within seven days..." Qi Si said angrily, "This person is covering these suspicious people, maybe he is the real culprit!"

Gu Zhao nodded. He was not the real murderer, but someone closely related to the case.

"We will find him." Gu Zhao said calmly.

It took half an afternoon to piece together sixteen or seventeen complete corpses.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Zhao had no intention of burning the midnight oil and fighting at night. Instead, he arranged for someone to guard the scene and returned to the camp at Longyoupo.

When he returned to his tent and there were no outsiders around him, Gu Zhao asked Qin Xinglie softly, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Qin Xinglie hesitated for a moment, took something out of his sleeve and placed it in front of Gu Zhao.

It is a small pearl flower, strung with five pearls, in a simple and elegant style.

Although the white and round pearls are not big in size, they are very bright in color. You can see the faint light on the surface of the pearl at a glance.

"Are these tribute pearls?" Gu Zhao was also a man who had seen the world, and he immediately recognized that these pearls were not ordinary items, but good tribute items.

Of course, this does not mean that the people who use this kind of pearls must be from the palace, because these are not the best pearls and are often awarded to officials and nobles by the nobles in the palace, so as long as they have a certain status,

Women can get it.

Gu Zhao padded his hands with a silk handkerchief, picked up the beaded flower and observed it carefully.

Qin Xinglie was standing aside, but he stopped talking.

Gu Zhao looked at it for a long time, then put down the pearl flower and asked, "Did you find this pearl flower in the temple?"

Qin Xinglie nodded, "It's under a poplar tree in the backyard, covered by grass." When he squatted down to observe the surrounding environment, he saw a bit of white from the corner of his eye, and then he discovered the bead.

flower.

Gu Zhao raised his head and looked at him, half smiling, "I remember that the green-waisted girl had a pearl flower like this on her head."

Qin Xinglie felt inexplicably embarrassed, "Maybe... yes."

Of course he knew that Luyao had such an almost identical beaded flower on his head, but this was not because he paid much attention to Luyao, but because this was what his mother often did when she was bored in the palace in the past few years.

manual.

These pearls were packed into boxes and frames in that small courtyard. The former Concubine Yuan Gui and now the real Xuanmiao were locked up in that small courtyard. Apart from sending people out of the palace to interfere with his life, she could only wait for her husband in the mirror.

arrival.

However, she was destined to be disappointed in both aspects.

So she found many ways to spend her boring time, such as stringing pearls into pearl flowers with her own hands, and then giving them to people in the yard.

This pearl flower appeared at the scene of the murder... Qin Xinglie had many guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

Seeing Qin Xinglie's expression, Gu Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand to lift his chin, "Don't worry, I won't think of your green-waisted girl as the murderer."

Qin Xinglie was anxious, "She is not mine!" For fear of Gu Zhao misunderstanding, his handsome face was dyed red, "I have nothing to do with her!"

Gu Zhao laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding you. Of course I know that you have nothing to do with her."

Her slender fingers gently stroked Qin Xinglie's chin, and then downward, her fingers loosely held his slender neck. "If you dare to hook up with other women, believe it or not, I will turn around and leave, and never do it again."

Won’t see you?”

Qin Xinglie's heart trembled. Although Gu Zhao's tone of voice was not serious and there was a smile on his face, but for some reason, he felt an unspeakable fear in his heart when he heard these words.

It was as if Gu Zhao had really left him and would never appear in his world again - "No!" Qin Xinglie couldn't imagine that day!

How could this gleam of light and warmth that finally appeared in his cold and dark life leave him!

"No, Azhao, if I do something wrong, you can beat me and scold me, but you can never leave me!"

Qin Xinglie suddenly held Gu Zhao's hand and pressed it tightly on his neck, "If I'm wrong, Zhao can kill me!"

"But just don't leave me!"

Gu Zhao smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes moving, "Why should I kill you?"
