Si Yiluo didn't hear clearly whose exclamation was heard, but she was not weak and couldn't take care of herself. No matter what dangers lurked under the water, she was not afraid.
Holding back his breath, he used the strength of the man's hands to wrap his waist and abdomen forward, slashing the man's arm with the dagger and taking the opportunity to break away from the opponent's grasp.
The bottom of the water was blurry, and he could only see a black figure turning around and running away. Si Yiluo chased him for a while, and then chased him out of the range of the fire and lost him. He was afraid that he would fall into the opponent's trap alone, so he had to turn back.
Over time, the lake surface was controlled by Dongchang's people. When Chen Wang came a step late, the boat was commandeered by Wei Heyan's people. He could only lead his people to wait on the shore.
As soon as Si Yiluo emerged from the water, a rope was thrown next to him.
Si Hai shouted from the boat: "Master Si, I will pull you up!"
Si Yiluo grabbed the rope, and Si Hai lifted her up from the water. She used her feet to use the strength of the boat and quickly climbed up.
Wei Heyan stood leaning against the railing, his face looking calm under the firelight.
"Lord Governor, what can you see?"
Many boats on the water gathered together and collided with each other, and people fell into the water like dumplings. Looking at it now, it was chaos.
Wei Heyan shook his head and said: "We have sent people to investigate. I am afraid that the only clues that can be used are these corpses soaked in the water."
Si Yiluo lowered his head and saw that his feet were wet. Did he go into the water?
"Lord Governor, there is a killer who escaped at the bottom of the lake. I stabbed him in the left arm."
Wei Heyan heard the sound and immediately ordered: "Si Hai, send the order and search for the assassin immediately!"
The wind was very cold at night, and Si Yiluo, who was soaked all over, sneezed.
"I'm here. Sir, please go back to the cabin and change your clothes."
Si Yiluo looked at his wet clothes and opened his mouth to ask him why he got into the water?
It wasn't because of her... Then he felt that he was being sentimental. Maybe he just went into the water to check for clues.
In the boat, Zhou Rong and Zhou Yu surrounded the "unconscious" Zhou Zhan. Several other princes also came over from their boats. Only Zhou Chang was still sitting in his small awning boat.
The figure I saw from behind in the crowd was him.
All the princes with the ability and ambition to compete for the throne were here, which brought back Si Yiluo's memories.
In the previous life, King Rong and King Chen fell successively. When Zhou Yu rose, he also quickly stepped into the court, starting a new round of competition.
Under his wild and unrestrained appearance, no one expected that the seemingly indisputable second prince Zhou Chang was actually the craziest.
Si Yiluo had reason to suspect that tonight's assassination had something to do with him, but she had no evidence.
Zhou Chang raised his head to meet her gaze and smiled at her, a bit... maliciously.
"Master Si, can't you trust me?"
Wei Heyan drew her gaze back.
Si Yiluo turned around and entered the cabin. Wei Heyan followed her back and looked at Zhou Chang sitting on the bow of the boat, frowning.
"Sir, there are only these clothes on the ship. You can choose one..." Fu Yue brought his own clothes, "My lord, I am taller than the slave. I don't know if the slave's clothes will fit me."
Si Yiluo chose a dance skirt with a black base and red sleeve lining and skirt.
The dance skirt is slim-fitting, making her slim waist and long legs appear even more tall and straight.
Except for the sleeves being a bit long, the rest of the fit is pretty good.
"Thank you."
Fu Yue looked at her blankly and praised: "This outfit seems to be more suitable for adults - adults are so beautiful."
Si Yiluo returned to the deck.
Si Hai found a cloak and put it on Wei Heyan's shoulders. After Wei Heyan caught a glimpse of the malicious glances coming from everywhere, he glanced at the people around him and threw the cloak on Si Yiluo.
Si Yiluo was stunned for a moment, then took off his cloak and prepared to return it.
"If you still want to run your errands properly, just wear it honestly."
The prince was assassinated in the imperial city. This incident was like stirring up trouble on Tai Sui's head. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple also sent people over, and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion sent troops to surround the inner and outer three floors of the Sacred Heart Lake.
Chen Wang took a boat from Dali Temple and squeezed in to find Si Yiluo.
"Sir, can we fight this case?"
The more people come, the more chaotic it becomes, and since everyone is not in the same camp, it is a bit troublesome to coordinate.
Si Yiluo couldn't refuse anymore, so he wrapped himself in a cloak and walked around to the stern of the boat with Chen Wang.
"Dongchang has the upper hand on the matter on the lake. Even if we can snatch it away, we still need the cooperation of Governor Wei. But it belongs to us under the water. No matter who snatches the case away in the end, they can't get around our Jinyiwei. At dawn,
Let our people go into the water and have a look."
The killer is hiding in the water, and there must be clues underwater. Whoever has the most clues at this time has the most say.
The sudden rise of Si Yiluo broke the original situation in the DPRK. Wei Heyan was deprived of power and must find ways to make amends. There was no way he would give in on this case.
Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were already holding back their own efforts, but now that Si Yiluo has intervened, they must not be convinced either.
Only the Supervisory Office of the Three Law Departments has not yet arrived, but it is expected to be there soon.
Last time outside the city, Si Yiluo and his people arrested the people and threw them into prison before other departments could react. No one else could get in even if they wanted to.
This time there were more monks and less flesh, so they all squeezed their heads and rushed forward.
Si Yiluo looked at the audience calmly, waiting for them to do anything.
Shen Panxing, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by someone. He got up, put on his clothes, wrapped himself in a cloak and hurriedly went out.
As he walked out of the prime minister's mansion, Shen Moran spent a lot of money to bury a chess piece next to him, and then he received the news.
"Miss."
Although Bi Tao is young, she has grown up a lot after experiencing what happened last time. She also knows that the little maid who is waiting to report the news will only start complaining after she returns.
"How come His Highness King Zhan was assassinated again? From what I can see, His Highness King Zhan's body looks like he won't be able to survive for long even if he is not assassinated..."
It is said that King Zhan was frail and sickly since he was a child and could hardly leave the house. The last time he went out to offer incense at Jingshan Temple, he was assassinated. This time he went out to visit the lake and was assassinated again.
It can be seen that he is an unlucky guy with a bad life.
Shen Moran suppressed the thought that just arose in her heart, feeling that Si Yiluo's vision might not be that good.
In her previous life, she didn't even pick a man. She picked a eunuch, and ended up with a thousand arrows piercing her heart!
Zhou Zhan is obviously a self-destructive choice, so she must stay far away.
"Bitao, don't talk nonsense. Trouble comes from your mouth. Be careful, walls have ears."
Bi Tao was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes rolled around, and she muttered, "Miss, Mr. Si should be busy again. Should we go to Mr. Si's house tomorrow?"
After Shen Moran was reborn, she discovered that many things were beyond her control back then, but she couldn't see them clearly in the game.
Zhou Zhan's mother's family has a noble status. His uncle Chang Jian is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the border army. He and the Queen's mother's family, the Duke of Song Dynasty, have a civil and military court. In terms of status, he is on par with the third prince.
So is it possible that Zhou Chen was behind these two assassinations?
But sometimes, people with a discerning eye can see that what is not the truth is often not true. There is also Zhou Yu who has always wanted to win over Zhou Zhan. He was present both times when things happened, and in his previous life, Zhou Yu was able to win because of the support of the Chang family.
He lost the actual benefit, so his suspicion is not small.
It's really getting more and more complicated.
By the Sacred Heart Lake, big shots appeared one by one. He Qiu Ming, the Minister of Punishment, invited Prime Minister Shen, and Wen Boxi, Minister of Dali Temple, invited Mr. Bao Fan and Bao Ge.
Over at the Inspectorate, Chi Chengsu invited Mr. Boge to come.
The three parties discussed for a long time, and each sent a representative to find Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan.
People from Dongchang on the lake were searching for the assassins boat by boat. On the shore, the Jin Yiwei were cooperating with the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to pick up the people swimming to the shore for inspection.
"President Wei, Mr. Si, today's case involves the prince. The specific yamen to be handed over to investigate the case needs to be reported to the Holy One first..."
Bo'an tried to persuade Wei Heyan to give up the case, but he didn't expect that Wei Heyan would not give him face at all.
"The governor is here waiting for Mr. Boge to enter the palace to request the order. However, by the time the order is issued, the assassin has already fled. What will Mr. Boge do when the time comes?"
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt unhappy. However, Wei Heyan was deeply trusted by the emperor and generally behaved in this way. As a pavilion elder, his inner cultivation did not make him angry.
So he turned around and said to Si Yiluo: "Master Si, the case that occurred in the capital city is under the jurisdiction of our Three Laws Division. This matter involves His Royal Highness King Yu and His Highness King Zhan. We also ask Sir Si to cooperate with us in the investigation. "
Si Yiluo had a good attitude and gave her hand as a gift. Although the other party took the opportunity to give her a gift, there was no need for her to acknowledge his affection, because to them, those were just ordinary interpersonal interactions.
It's just money to buy her not to take the initiative to expose his background.
"The killer committed a murder under the water. When he committed the murder, he didn't know where the people from the Sanfa Division were. Can he see the murderer? Is it possible to solve the case?"
Si Yiluo asked Bo'an three questions in a row, which made Bo'an feel embarrassed.
Bao Fan stepped forward and said: "Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have professionals who specialize in investigating crimes. Whether we can solve the case or not, you Jinyiwei don't have to worry about it!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment also felt aggrieved. It was obviously a matter that they should be in charge of. Dali Temple wanted to get involved, and the Supervisory Office also came to inspect. They all tolerated it. In the final analysis, the three law departments were one family.
Why did Jin Yiwei and Dongchang come to join in the fun?
Not only are you trying to take credit from them, but they might even sue you behind the scenes...
