Xiang Xiao did not deny it, but slapped Chen Zhuo on the head again.
"You're a little brat like me. Just watch the door!"
As a good friend, Xiang Xiao knew that Si Yiluo had a secret in her heart, and guessed that she might have someone in her heart, but she never said it, and he couldn't guess who it was.
One time when she was drunk, she pulled him and asked him why. Her eyes were red and full of tears. This was the first time he saw her cry.
He realized that no matter how strong she looked on the outside, she was fragile on the inside.
Every time the war started, she seemed to be desperate for her life. When she came back, she would sit alone on the city wall and watch the wind and sand outside the wall. She was so young and her back was lonely and lonely. At that time, he was afraid of her jumping off the city wall.
But after knowing her for five years, she is still living well and even more glorious.
Do you like her?
No, it's just distressing.
Si Yiluo stood in the small garden for a while, and Duan Lai hurried over, running too fast, breathing heavily and speaking intermittently.
"Sir, what's wrong, Sun Enhe, the right minister of the Ministry of War, has been wiped out! Miao Qianhu has already brought people there..."
Si Yiluo felt the wind blowing under his feet. He just crossed the threshold when he looked up and saw Wei Heyan at the opposite door. Their eyes were facing each other and their feet were facing in the same direction.
Ever since the last time Si Yiluo found out that Sun En was involved in buying and selling officials, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the Supervisory Council have all been keeping an eye on him.
He also attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet last night with his wife and daughter. There was nothing unusual at the banquet.
"When did you discover it?"
Si Yiluo mounted his horse.
"We arranged for the brother at home to deliver news twice a day. Last night, he also delivered news that Sun En had gone to bed. This morning he was late in delivering the letter. At 3:30, the delivery man knocked on the door and went in."
"Since the quarter of the hour, no one has been in or out of the house. The subordinates waited for half an hour. Seeing that the situation was not good, they went in and took a look, only to find dead bodies everywhere in the house..."
Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan arrived at the same time. Outside the house were surrounded by warriors from the Jinyi Guard, and people from the Dongchang were on the first floor inside.
Inside, Miao Cong led people to survey the scene.
Sun En died in the study. His skin was gray, his limbs were stiff, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest. The study was messy and there were signs of being rummaged through.
"Among all the corpses, Sun En died the earliest, probably around three o'clock last night. Sun En's study and bedroom were searched."
Miao Cong and his subordinates summarized the survey results and handed them to Si Yiluo. Si Yiluo just took a look at them before Wei Heyan snatched them away.
"My supervisor has taken over this case."
Si Yiluo held on to his other half tightly and refused to let go, not giving in an inch.
"Sun Enguan is in the third rank, and as a rule, our Jin Yiwei should be responsible for it."
"This case involves our Dongchang, so it is not under your control."
The subordinate whispered a few words into Miao Cong's ear, and Miao Cong reminded him in a low voice: "Master Si, there are indeed two people from Dongchang among the victims, but there are also brothers who we inserted..."
No matter what, this case must be heard by the emperor. At the emperor's feet, a third-level official was exterminated in one night, which was enough to shock the government and the public. Anyone who can solve this case can reach heaven in one step.
The brothers of Jinyiwei were sharpening their swords, and the people under Wei Heyan were also sharpening their beards.
In order to please Emperor Yao, Wei Heyan had been keeping a low profile recently. The courtiers did not dare to say anything in front of him, and secretly laughed at him for being overshadowed by a woman.
The subordinates below endure their anger every day.
Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan did not fight, and the troops brought by both sides showed their weapons.
"Forgive me, Lord Governor, there are also our brothers in the case."
The girl is different from her previous submissiveness. Her aura is strong and somewhat similar to his...
The officials from the Sanfa Department who came after receiving the news watched the two of them secretly competing, and they did not step forward in a wise manner, exchanging glances with each other.
If a dog bites a dog, beware of damaging innocent people.
Jinyiwei is the imperial eagle dog, Dongxichang is the eunuch and eunuch, neither of them are good birds. Last time the two of them stood strangely in the same line, everyone was wondering, if they are allowed to work together, there will be no one in the court from now on.
Happy birthday.
Now I enjoy watching them fight.
"The governor has countless capable people, so it is better to investigate by yourself and snatch the things belonging to the subordinates. This is an act of banditry."
The girl is also very sharp-tongued!
Wei Heyan curled his lips and said: "Master Si came to Beijing when he was young, so he may not have heard of my governor's style. I like to steal other people's things the most!"
"Master Si should feel honored..."
Si Yiluo didn't expect that Wei Heyan would cheat on her. In his previous life, he had always been meticulous with her...
"Miao Cong, write another inspection and send it to Governor Wei for review."
She took a step back, but she would never give in to this step now.
Wei Heyan chuckled and let go of his hand.
"Si Hai, please bring someone to cooperate with the inspection."
Both sides have a tendency to investigate each other.
Wei Heyan stepped forward to inspect Sun En's body. Si Yiluo looked through the inspection records and compared them with the scene.
He turned around and asked Duan Lai: "You said that no one has been in or out of the house since a quarter past three o'clock. Does that mean that someone has gone out between a quarter past three o'clock and a quarter past three o'clock?"
Most of the people in the house died between Mao hour and Chen hour, so the person who left the house was probably the murderer.
Duan Lai called for the secret sentry responsible for monitoring Sun En.
Apparently Wei Heyan also thought of this and called the person who was secretly monitoring Sun En.
"We don't have to go to court today. Only the kitchen steward in charge of purchasing went out in the morning, and then seven or eight hawkers brought firewood, rice, grains and vegetables into the house. At that time, my subordinates were still wondering that Shilang Sun's house only bought grain and rice once every seven days.
But it’s only been two days, why do we need to buy food again?”
Si Yiluo opened the inspection records and found that the kitchen steward died at the beginning of the Mao period, so the man who went out to buy was the murderer of Sun En. He went out of the house disguised as the steward, and asked his companions to enter the house pretending to be a hawker to kill people.
"Sir, there are several unidentified bodies in the kitchen!"
Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan came to the kitchen at the same time, and several people's clothes were stripped off. The fatal wounds were all on their necks, and their throats were sealed with a knife.
"It seems that the murderer had already sneaked into Sun Shilang's house and escaped from the house disguised as a hawker in the morning."
There is a curfew at night, and these people may have sneaked into the house before nightfall.
"Is there anything unusual last night?"
Several brothers who were watching shook their heads in unison.
Sun En's entire family was wiped out, and no one could find out except for the few murderers who escaped disguised as hawkers.
"We must find those people as quickly as possible!"
There was a sudden martial law in the capital. Xiao Yuanjin accompanied his wife when they went out to see the doctor to get medicine. They were questioned several times. When passing Lingyin Pavilion, Xiao Poyun raised his head and looked at Yue Beishu's window, secretly anxious.
"Princess Poyun also likes Mr. Beishu?"
Xiao Poyun followed the sound and saw a girl dressed neatly, riding on a horse, approaching her, his scrutinizing eyes falling on her, as if he wanted to see through her.
"It's true that I fell in love at first sight. It's a pity that this is not the capital of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Otherwise, why would the person I like be so cautious and troublesome?"
Si Yiluo pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Even if this is not the capital of the Northern Liao Dynasty, the princess can still go up and sit. As long as the princess has a clear conscience, there is no need to be cautious. Unless the princess has a guilty conscience..."
Xiao Poyun grew up on a horse since she was a child. She has never seen any big storms. It's not like she feels guilty just because she said a few words. She just doesn't dare to bet. Jin Yiwei is so pervasive that she is afraid of getting Yue Beishu involved. They
All previous efforts were wasted.
The window on the second floor was opened from the inside. Yue Beishu stood by the window and threw a sachet on Si Yiluo's horse, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Master Si clearly knows that Master Beishu Xinyue, why do you still push Beishu to others?"
