"I went to check the relevant background of the dead Liu Jing."

Under the swaying lights, Hei Shou Hu Yan took the lead in the opening.

"He was born in Luzhou, and his ancestors were officials of prefectures and counties in Dongqi. He became the chief commander of the Jinwu Guard at the age of 32. It was already quite good, but in the next ten years, he had been wasting time in Jiangdu. It was fine in the past few years, but he became more and more unhappy in recent years. He often told people around him that they gradually became all Southern Chen Han. He was unhappy and wanted to transfer, but for ten years of hard work, he was unwilling to transfer and was unwilling to make some contributions..."

When everyone heard this, they all reacted.

At this point, Hu Yan looked at Zhang Xing, who was sitting in the shadow of the original place and only showed half of his face, and then glanced at the people around him: "The case yesterday was very obvious. Duke Zhou was a fake target, and his original intention was to kill Liu Jing. My opinion was basically consistent with what Zhang Sanlang said yesterday. This is likely to be an infighting in the officialdom in Jiangdu... and I think we were probably smart last night but were mistaken for being smart."

"How do you say it?" Bai Yousi tilted his head slightly.

"Think about the inspection, according to Liu Jing's performance, will it be possible to report some of the inside story of Jiangdu to us?"

Hu Yan took it seriously.

"The only northerner among the powerful people in Jiangdu, and the northerner who had enough motivation to report some inside information to us, was assassinated at the banquet the day after we arrived in Jiangdu... Is there really any conspiracy against us? In my opinion, it seems that because of our arrival, we were forced to assassinate in a hurry. There is no way. Whether the left-behind mansion is angered by the Lord or in front of us, it will be impossible not to kill him. Otherwise, once the banquet is over, Liu Jing may not be able to find the inspector directly to report."

"If I say that, would there be some masters who are determined to be our mentality and choose to assassinate here? It's dark under the light?" Qian Tang asked back. "It's hard to say after all."

"Not bad." Hu Yan nodded. "It's just a possibility. I just think so... Moreover, what Zhang Sanlang said yesterday is really reasonable, and it's okay to throw away the pickled scoundrels in the officialdom in advance."

"Don't give me face." Bai Yousi smiled. "If we are surprised and suspicious, it must be that I was not considering it carefully last night... and then I said that this case must be cleared... It is not difficult."

Hu Yan shook his head slightly.

"There is a Jingjie Tiger Banner here in Jiangdu, which is my old friend." Qian Tang took it over. "I just came out of his house. He told me that yesterday's assassin was indeed the way of the True Fire Sect. He also told me that the True Fire Sect is blooming everywhere in the southeast. The powerful people in Jiangdu City, as long as they are from southerners, do not believe it, there are also people in Laigong and Zhougong's houses..."

"So were the servants and assassins publicly recommended by the True Fire Sect yesterday?" someone suddenly asked.

"No." Qian Tang shook his head. "Or it is impossible to investigate from here... Lai Gong and Zhou Gong were the general managers and deputy general managers of Xuzhou several months ago. It was just because the Second Expedition of Dongyi was defeated and Yang Shen, and the military capital logistics was seriously damaged and the Central Plains were destroyed. This allowed the two to temporarily serve as the left-behind and deputy subordinates to facilitate the replenishment of military capital... In other words, the servants and maids in the left-behind mansion were brought in hastily, some were official servants assigned by the government on the spot, and many were temporarily purchased and recruited. The dancers of this group of assassin bought them from the public house, and all the servants were official servants."

"That's the case, isn't it even more true that Prince Xie said?" Someone asked again.

"This is natural." Li Qingchen also spoke. "Do you still remember? We came in a hurry yesterday, but a whole group of patrols and cavalry arrived on board. The place was shocked. Everyone in Jiangdu asked, but the county magistrate did not send anyone to come... I don't know what they were busy with? Not to mention, this person was born in the Xie family, one of the eight great masters of Jiangdong, and was known as a famous family for hundreds of years. Since the saint ascended the throne, although this dynasty has repeatedly promoted Jiangdong people, there are many people like Zhang Shangshu who died before. They have been depressed against the eight great masters of Jiangdong. It is also common for such people to have resentment towards the court."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yousi also looked at Li Qingchen: "Xiao Li, what have you checked again?"

"I just asked about the matter of Xie Juncheng... This guy was a senior and powerful man, but he often wrote some sour poems, saying that he was not appreciated and misunderstood by others." Li Qingchen sneered. "After Duke Lai and Duke Zhou took office, he relied on Duke Lai to not ask about things, and Duke Zhou had always been courteous to them, so he praised the Southeast scholars in Jiangdu and was extremely biased in administration. If someone really did something, Liu Jing felt that he could go and sue him, then he would probably do it."

"What about Governor Zhao and Liao Zhushou, except for the fact that they are all from southerners, is there any Liu Jing in trouble?"

"In theory, Duke Zhao is Liu Jing's direct superior and jointly appointed the palace. But in fact, the Jinwu Guards led by Liu Jing also had to patrol the streets at night while guarding the palace. The rights and responsibilities of the two did not completely overlap, and any disputes occurred were ordinary. As for Liao Zhushou and Liu Jing... the destruction between Jingjiehu and Jinwu Guard, have you not seen enough?" Li Qingchen continued to smile.

"Is everyone suspected that?" The people below clearly felt irritable.

“Will it be done together?”

"It's not done together, and the rest of the people will just watch coldly."

"Lai Gong and Zhou Gong..."

"I think Lai Gong and Zhou Gong are probably watching coldly, but we can only think about them... How could the saints meet these two people for such a thing? To put it bluntly, we are also separated from the Chief of the Central Committee. Even Lai Gong threw us all into Yangzijin. The saints couldn't say it, and they were too lazy to pay attention to it... They were all used to seeing corpses and blood. They destroyed Nanchen, conquered Dongyi, and had hundreds of thousands of lives. What's this a mess?"

"If you say this, how can we investigate the case? Find out, I waved my hand and covered it up..."

"Where is his turn to cover it?" Qian Tang sneered and scolded. "I will find out by then. The inspector will slash with one sword! Are you still counting on Mr. Lai and Mr. Zhou to be Master Qingtian?"

Everyone nodded, right? They almost forgot that there was a big old lady in the sky sitting here!

"Inspector... what do you think?" Qian Tang turned his face and urged seriously. "There is no clue about this matter at the moment, and if the reason is made, it will point to the internal struggle between the powerful and the north and the south."

"Internal fighting between the powerful and the North and the South is bound to be inevitable. Things may be left unresolved. But the key is that, as people of the Jing'an Taiwan Inspection Team, when we encounter such a big case, we must understand what is going on. We can find out the whole story clearly. We can't be covered in blood for nothing." Bai Yousi responded calmly, but looked at Zhang Xing again. "Zhang San, you and Qin Erlang were also out today. What did you check?"

"I didn't find anything." Zhang Xing said. "We went to the True Fire Temple around Jiangdu, two places in the south city, one place in the city, and one place in Yangzijin. We just felt that the teachings of the True Fire Sect were quite appropriate, but the sect was obviously divided into two factions, one respected the True Fire, and took the lower-level route; the other obviously respected the Qionghua Female Saint, and took the upper-level route. It is obvious that the years of suppression of the imperial court have caused the internal division of the True Fire Sect. If there is no unified religious reform, it may gradually move further and eventually completely split."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment.

After a while, Qian Tang frowned: "Zhang Sanlang, what do you think does this case do?"

"In theory, it seems like a faction that respects the female saints, otherwise how can we enter the left-behind mansion?" Zhang Xing smiled. "But I still feel that it is more like the True Fire Sect, because they have human power... and they have not split to the point where they are completely out of bounds."

"Saying it means not saying it." Li Qingchen was frustrated for a moment.

"I said I didn't find anything." Zhang Xing was confident.

"I was waiting for the rabbit on the river and found the female assassin who escaped yesterday." At this moment, Bai Yousi suddenly spoke. "And captured her alive, and interrogated her in Jiangxinzhou..."

The room suddenly became silent, and even a needle could be detected.

"She is one of the female saints candidates of the True Fire Sect. She grew up in the temple since she was a child and practiced martial arts since she was a child. She suddenly went to Yangshen's mansion two years ago..." Bai Yousi said. "And according to her, she also went to Yangs mansion once when she was a teenager."

"The mirror is reunited." Someone blurted out.

People around me suddenly realized.

The reuniting of the broken mirror is a well-known allusion for Yang Shen’s father Yang Bin. It refers to Yang Bin, the founding hero of the Great Wei Dynasty, who participated in the destruction of Chen, and he collected a princess of Chen as the maid in the mansion. As a result, her husband founded the token of the broken mirror. After Yang Bin learned about it, he became a beautiful woman and made the reuniting of the broken mirror.

This matter, as here, refers more to Yang Bin, the founding minister and the powerful minister, who participated in the War to Destroy Chen and the War to Punish the Rebellion in Jiangdong throughout the whole process. His literary and military strategy was different from the previous burning, killing and looting when He Ruofu and Han Bolong went south. It was considered to be completely unscrupulous, so it was extremely popular with the people in the Southeast.

Then, no matter what the purpose of Yang Shen’s rebellion, it was ordinary that the True Fire Sect, who was faintly opposite to the court, sent some experts to help him... Even according to this statement, they might have been secretly connected for many years.

"Not bad." Bai Yousi smiled and said. "Anyway, Yang Shen was defeated too quickly, so this person fled back to the south and stayed in Jiangdu..."

"Then did the inspector ask the person directly?" Someone couldn't wait. "Who instructed her?"

"She would rather die than say." Bai Yousi continued to laugh. "I wouldn't be willing to kill her. But guess where did she live when she returned to Jiangdu?"

"Is it an open palace?" Zhang Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows in the shadow and spoke. "The broken mirror reunites."

"No," Bai Yousi turned around and said with a smile. "It's the palace behind us."
