In the snowy night, Lu Xiangyin came to the southwest corner of the palace wall alone. This is the most secluded and empty part of the Taibaiwei's night patrol path. From this corner, the nearest is a small refining room, which is specially used to deal with eunuchs and palace maids who have died of various reasons. On this night, it was the turn of the deputy commander Guo Shuang to lead the team to inspect.

Lu Xiangyin was dressed in a dark red cotton robe, with a slightly chubby face, and an extremely white complexion, which was particularly conspicuous in the reflection of the wind and snow. Guo Shuang, who was wearing a pure white general's armor, had just turned a corner with a team of Taibai guards and saw Lu Xiangyin in the snowy night.

Guo Shuang was slightly surprised when he saw someone here, and subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword on the right side of his body: "Supervisor Lu, what do you want to do here late at night?" ”

Lu Xiangyin's steps were extremely slow, and he walked slowly towards Guo Shuang: "Little prince, you have lived for a hundred years, and you will be the marquis." Unfortunately, I received a letter the day before yesterday. The person who wrote the letter said that the Seven Killing Stars had made a change and entered the capital city from north to south. Therefore, at this very moment on this day, you have also reached the time of soul breaking. Considering that you should not die, I can grant you a request. ”

Guo Shuang knew very well that although he was carrying a team of battle-hardened Taibai veterans, he was by no means Lu Xiangyin's opponent. He pondered seriously for a moment amid the ridicule of the soldiers behind him: "Then leave me a clean and decent corpse." The guards behind him fell silent for a moment, looking at him in surprise.

"The Guo family is really an understanding person. Here it comes. As soon as Lu Xiangyin's words 'came' fell, he approached Guo Shuang's body in a seemingly slow but instantaneous manner. Guo Shuang saw Lu Xiangyin's strange body style flying in front of him, raised his left foot and took half a step back, raised his right foot again, took a big step back, and his legs were in a lunge shape. In his right hand, he gripped the hilt of the sword and wanted to pull it out, just to make a retreating immortal guiding sword pose. The Taibai guards behind him were half relieved when they saw Guo Shuang's starting gesture of retreating and advancing. After all, once this immortal guide is used, Guo Shuang's body will inevitably retreat half a step to avoid the opponent's edge, and the long sword draws out a forward stab, which can also change moves both offensively and defensively, which can be described as foolproof.

Seeing that Lu Xiangyin was bullying Guo Shuang's sword blade, his figure fell into Guo Shuang's arms as soon as he was short. In just the blink of an eye, there was a 'pop' sound, and Guo Shuang, who was wearing iron armor, flew over the heads of the soldiers like a paper kite with a broken thread, and slammed into the palace wall behind him. Everyone looked and saw that although Guo Shuang's breastplate was intact, he had fallen into a coma, there was no trace of blood on his face, his body was paralyzed against the wall, and blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth. Everyone saw that the blood at the corner of Guo Shuang's mouth was getting faster and faster, and it didn't take long for his chest to be blood-red.

Most of the Taibai guards of the 'Hiss .........' team were veterans personally brought out by Guo Shuang's father, Guo Yunshen, and they continued to follow Guo Shuang because of their deep relationship with the Guo family. Seeing this slightly chubby old man now, he actually beat the young master Guo Shuang's life and death in a single look, and he was even more full of chills in his anger. All because they know better than anyone what kind of martial arts Guo Shuang is.

"Okay, go with you and serve your master." Lu Xiangyin looked at the group carefully, counted the number of people carefully, and then stepped forward. This time, the body was as fast as lightning, and after three breaths, the entire team of twelve Taibai guards died of anger.

"Where's the house?" Lu Xiangyin clapped his hands, and suddenly shouted without a head.

"Yes." Four figures appeared out of nowhere and knelt neatly in front of Lu Xiangyin.

"Add some trauma to each one, and do it in detail."

"Yes."

One of the leaders shook out a dagger from his right arm and walked towards Guo Shuang's body at the palace wall.

"Wait, I promised to leave him some clean and decent. What a good child, he must be afraid that Guo Yunsong will be sad and sad when he sees it. Lu Xiangyin stopped the leading man, came to Guo Shuang's body by himself, and held the saber that Guo Shuang had dropped beside him with a toe pick.

"He, I'll come personally."

There was silence all around, except for the sound of tears as the blades cut through the flesh, echoing in the snowy night.

In the middle of the night that day, Tie Jia and Shen Gui were outside the window of the inner mansion, and accompanied the King of Zhongshan in the house to shed tears all night. The next morning, Tie Armor withstood the red and swollen eyes that were barely opened, and began to handle white things. The time of the burial was chosen after the sun set, and only Guo Yunsong's ironclad master and servant came to see him off, as well as Shen Gui, who hurried with a burden.

"Or those three questions, whose order, who handled it, and why? Is there a result? ”

Tiejia frowned, and said with a guilty face:

"At present, it seems that the order was given by that person, and there is no doubt about this. Now that we know who gave the order, the reason is also on the surface. It's just that there are too many possibilities for the person who started it, and the time is too short to be sure. ”

Shen Gui stood beside his uncle's body, and on the other side was the tomb that had been dug a long time ago. He put down the burden behind him and took out an incense burner, a small leather roll, and a large water bladder. After setting everything up, he knelt in front of Guo Yunsong again:

"In order to find out who killed my uncle with my own hands, my grandson and I want to conduct an autopsy on my uncle's body today, and I also ask my grandfather to agree and avoid it first." After speaking, he buckled three heads heavily.

Guo Yunsong looked at this grandson who had just returned to his side, let out a long sigh, stretched out his wrinkled hand and stroked Shen Gui who touched the ground with his head:

"Hey, according to my grandfather's heart, I don't want you to let a ten-year-old hairy child interfere in this kind of thing. However, the first great shaman Li Xuanyu and the second shaman Lin Siwei have left words, and they cannot guide or block your thoughts and actions. Because in your body, the things that need to be shouldered are so important that they are beyond enmity and enmity. But no matter how important you are, after all, it is my Guo family first. If you want to do it, do what you want. Old man...... Old man, I'll go for a walk elsewhere ......"

After speaking, Guo Yunsong stroked the top of Shen Gui's head a few times, raised his legs and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

Shen Gui wiped the tears on his face, first respectfully put on three sticks of incense, and then knelt in front of Guo Shuang's body:

"Uncle, we've never met, so we can't talk about how deep our feelings are, and you don't even know who I am. However, ever since I began to accept Shen Gui's identity, we have been connected by blood. Now, whether it's for you, or for your grandfather, or even for the one who died to you, they're waiting for me to give them an answer. Therefore, I must first examine your injuries, so as not to alarm your body. The nephew has made amends to you by prostrating to you. ”

Seeing that he had done everything, the iron armor behind him spoke:

"This begins? Shall I avoid it too? ”

"No need, you can just stay here and give me a shot. Seriously, I really don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I can't do it if I don't do it. After speaking, Shen Guinu mouthed and headed in the direction of Guo Yunsong's departure.

"Believe it or not, you still can't save what you should do."

Ironclad nodded in agreement, and stepped forward to remove the shroud.

Shen Gui stretched out his hand and removed the longevity robe on Guo Shuang's body, and the original blood stains on the corpse had been cleaned by the iron armor. Seeing this, Shen Gui raised his head and glared at Tie Jia, and his mouth was broken: "I don't see anything else so diligent." After speaking, without waiting for the iron armor to speak, he reached out and touched the corpse, and Lang Sheng spoke:

"The bones are intact all over the body, and there are no obvious signs of fractures. There were a total of 36 sharp cuts on the front and back, all of which were caused by people after death. ”

"Wait, wait, Young Master Sun, you just said that these injuries were only scratched after the young master's death?"

"That's what I said. What's the problem? ”

"How do you tell?"

"The skin is elastic, so when you are alive, the wound is often turned outward. If you'd ever been to war, you wouldn't have asked me that question. ”

After Shen Gui said this, Tie Jia was still thinking about it, but Guo Yunsong, who was peeking behind a tree not far away, nodded again and again.

"It should be true that the murder weapon is an iron weapon such as a sword, and every trace is extremely clear. Even an ordinary person will try his best to dodge when he is injured by a sharp blade. And every scar on my uncle's body has a clear head and tail, which can better reflect the artificial inference after his death just now. ”

Tie Jia nodded, and said with a little doubt: "With the young master's ability, there are not many people in the world who can restrain him. ”

"Since the sword wound is not a fatal wound, and there are no obvious external injuries elsewhere, then the chest and abdomen can only be opened and explored." Shen Gui thought about it for a while, and unfolded the leather scroll, which was the set of knives that the second shaman Lin Siwu had ordered for the healing of the ancient three swords.

"But there are not many people in this palace who can quietly kill a team of Taibai Guards, let alone add a deputy commander? I think the answer is already clear, there is no need to open the abdomen for an injury, right? When Tie Jia saw the set of knives that Shen Gui took out, he looked at Guo Shuang's body with reluctance, and looked at Shen Gui half pleading and half asking.

"It's a matter of family feud, and there must be more conclusive evidence."

After speaking, Shen Gui clenched the willow leaf knife in his hand, stabilized his mind slightly, and then cut a T-shaped knife from his throat, and then went down with the momentum, directly from the throat to the navel.

At this point, the iron armor who was watching on the side turned around and hugged a big tree and began to vomit, and Shen Gui's slightly indifferent voice sounded:

"The internal abdomen of the five internal organs is ruptured and miru, but the bones are intact. It does not appear that he was killed by a blow from a heavy blow. ”

Shen Gui frowned after speaking, as if he was thinking about something carefully.

"Don't think about it, wrapping your fingers around the soft palm must be the unique technique of the old dog of Lu Xiangyin, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

From behind the big tree not far away, Guo Yunsong's voice came out.

"I see, I forgot that there was such a thing."

Shen Gui suddenly realized after hearing this, and immediately began to stitch up the corpse.

Tie Jia raised his head again after vomiting the acid water in his stomach, Guo Shuang, who was still with his chest and abdomen wide open just now, was already intact at the moment, and the stitches were completed. Tie Jia asked Shen Gui in a surprised tone:

"So fast? I thought it would take a long time. ”

"We just wanted to find a more conclusive piece of evidence, and we've found it right now. This evidence will not be used to sue the official, but only to ensure that he has not found the wrong enemy. So there is no need for other evidence. ”

Shen Gui used the water in the water bladder in the bag to clean his hands and wash the knife, and replied in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

"Young Master Sun, are you Gui Geng this year?"

"It's supposed to be eleven, right?"

"Then you have ............ hand"

Shen Gui didn't answer, just silently cleaned up everything around him, and put the corpse sheet on Guo Shuang's face.

"This is also my first time getting started, I have only read it in books before, and fortunately I haven't eaten yet.................."

At this point, he also covered his mouth and ran to the side, and began to retch.

The three of them returned to the palace in a car, and the coachman reined in his horse and turned back to the iron armor in the carriage:

"Iron Chief, how many people have fallen all the way to us, do you want to deal with them?"

Tie Jia looked back at Shen Gui and Guo Yunsong. Guo Yunsong nodded, but Shen Gui shook his head. Tie Jia was just about to ask, Guo Yunsong glanced at Shen Gui and shook his head again.

"Tiejia, you carried your grandfather into the mansion."

Shen Gui whispered.

Opposite the Zhongshan Palace, several spies from the Imperial Horse Prison Forage Room were monitoring the carriage. When the car stopped, I saw the handlebar turn around and say something I don't know. Soon, Tie Jia, the chief housekeeper of Guo Mansion, and Shen Gui, the young master of Guo Mansion, one after the other, carried Guo Yunsong, the old king of Zhongshan, to get out of the car and return to the house, and the scene looked extremely bleak and desolate.
