With Yuan Cairen's explanation, Xu Changqing quickly understood what she meant, and directly asked people to carry Cao Jizhou's body.

Upon closer inspection, sure enough, his face was carefully dressed!

However, it is not the human skin that Xu Changqing thought. Masks, but extremely sophisticated makeup techniques.

"Clean this guy up for Lao Tzu!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers stripped the corpse naked, and his face was torn and rinsed with water, revealing his true face.

Doubts will clear up when the facts are known.

Xu Changqing was also a little speechless.

This corpse is a bit too much to say that it is not related to Cao Jizhou, but at most there are only one or two similarities.

However, when it was disguised, Xu Changqing didn't find any flaws......

In later generations, Xu Changqing has also seen many uncles on the Internet who are dressed up as beauties and aunts who are dressed up as young ladies, but they have never cared much about it, thinking that it is just grandstanding, but it really happened in front of him......

I have to admit that there is a specialization in the art industry......

"Master Hou, this should be a monkey's skin, it should be the monkey's most tender lower abdomen, treated with a secret recipe, pasted on a person's face, and then smeared with a potion, as long as you don't wash your face hard, you can't see it for more than ten days. This should be indigo, mixed with other things, I can't guess for a while, but it should be something from the sea, a little bit of sea......"

Seeing that the soldiers had withdrawn, Yuan Cairen stepped forward, picked up the skin torn from the face of 'Cao Jizhou', and carefully explained to Xu Changqing.

Maybe it was the corpse of the red fruit, her pretty face was even redder, extremely seductive.

Seeing Xu Changqing nodding, she explained carefully: "Master Hou, after I found out that something was wrong with him at that time, I have been staring at him, and when I found the gap, his expression became more and more unnatural, and I was more confident in this judgment." Unfortunately, there is no tangible evidence, I ...... I didn't dare to talk nonsense......"

Xu Changqing looked at Yuan Cairen.

Yuan Cairen was slightly stunned, and hung his head even more shyly, as if he had been coated with a halo under this hazy light.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh a little, the gap between this person and people is really too big, this kind of talent thing, ordinary people can't understand it all their lives.

However, Yuan Cairen's mind at this time is obviously not a little simple......

"Thank you for that."

After a while, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled and helped her refill some tea: "It's hard work now, if you are not busy sleeping, it is good to invite someone to have some supper." ”

Yuan Cairen seemed to want to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, he lowered his head shyly, "Yes, there is Master Lao......"

After a short time, Cao Jizhou's body was cleaned up, the floor was wiped clean by the soldiers, and a few trembling maids brought a few delicate side dishes.

Xu Changqing personally poured her a full wine glass, and the two simply exchanged a few glasses, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Xu Changqing smiled: "Talented people are erudite and talented." If it weren't for the talent, the minister might have been kept in the dark. ”

Yuan Cairen was shy and a little proud, this was Xu Changqing's recognition of her, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Hou, you are too polite." It's a pity that I didn't inform Master Hou in advance, and there was still an accident......"

"Huh."

Xu Changqing laughed, poured her a full wine glass, and the two touched the wine glass and said, "Talented, you can't say that." In this world, things are complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Talented people help the minister verify his identity, and the minister must at least avoid a lot of detours. Talented, I don't know, can you judge where this person is? ”

Feeling Xu Changqing's warm eyes and smile, Yuan Cairen couldn't help but feel more confident, frowned and thought for a while: "Master Hou, decide immediately, I'm not sure." There are actually many such paths. As long as you are deeply involved in this area, you can almost do it. The only way to judge more accurately is to find out their potions. Now that there is no potion, I dare not say anything. However, I suspect that they came from the seaside, and I smelled the stuff of the sea several times......"

As she spoke, she bit her red lip lightly and looked at Xu Changqing more cautiously, obviously not wanting Xu Changqing's judgment to be wrong because of her mistake.

"By the sea?"

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this time, Xu Changqing actually understood some things in this industry, since ancient times, the family business is to pass on men not women, after all, this is the craft of eating, through continuous improvement and development, so many schools have also been derived.

But at this time, how many troupes are there in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not as developed as big data in later generations, all parties have reported it, who can figure it out?

And even in the future, how many 'wild balls' are there?

It is a bit unrealistic to pursue this from the source.

However, Yuan Cairen's analysis has already made Xu Changqing have a lot of spectrum in his heart.

Now, it can be summarized into two possibilities!

1, the real deputy envoy Cao has been done and occupied by the dove.

2, Deputy Envoy Cao is not dead yet, it was the bureau he took the initiative to do, and he is secretly staring.

Judging from the subjective point of view, Xu Changqing is undoubtedly more inclined to the former, after all, his position is not so high, so it is not only risky, even if the return is high in the future, it will definitely encounter a big one. Troublesome.

But calm down, the latter may not be impossible.

Since Grandpa Cheng officially set the capital of Jingshi, and the entire core of the Ming Dynasty was transferred to the north, it has been too long, more than 200 years, and it has been more than ten generations, who can guess how deep the water is?

This matter is indeed not good-looking, but it is also a success for Xu Changqing to find a reason to turn passive into active!

To some extent, Xu Changqing even has to thank these people for doing this......

Here, seeing Xu Changqing falling into thought, Yuan Cairen's pretty face couldn't help but turn redder, and sometimes he secretly looked at Xu Changqing.

As one of the crown princesses, she couldn't touch a lot of extremely secret news at this time, knowing that Xu Changqing's official wife Li Youwei at this time was also on Zhu Cihong's list of concubines.

Who would have thought that a few years later, everything would have been turned upside down......

looked at the tall and heroic Xu Changqing in front of him, and thought of the cowardly and humble Zhu Cihong, the key is that he is cowardly and humble, and he treats her badly, so that she can't see hope at all......

Especially when she inadvertently bumped into the cattleness between Xu Changqing and Queen Zhou, and it was a critical time......

"Whew."

At this time, Xu Changqing also sorted out his thoughts, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Cairen, no matter what, you have helped me a lot, come, I will pay you a drink." ”

"Master Hou, you are too polite. Yes, it is also an honor for a concubine to be able to drink with a hero like you......"

As the glasses of both of them were brought to their lips, the atmosphere in the room began to change in a subtle way.

Xu Changqing seemed to be a veteran in this regard, smiled, and said quietly: "Talented, how are these days?" Are there any inconveniences? ”

……

Early the next morning, more than 200 people had been arrested in Jining City, but all those involved in the troupe of Gou Yunu, including Songhelou, were arrested.

It's a pity, just as Xu Changqing expected, the person who hid on the roof of the house and secretly shot the crossbow machine was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all.

"Master Hou, you, don't worry, give Xia Guan two days, no, one day, tonight, Xia Guan will definitely give you an explanation......"

Prefect Huang knelt in front of Xu Changqing early in the morning, trembling and kowtowing again and again.

I have to say that his desire to survive is still very strong, after all, he is not yet forty years old, and he still has a lot of future, as if he doesn't want to be buried because of this.

Not to mention, this is a crisis, and it is definitely a big opportunity!

Xu Changqing nodded slowly: "Lord Huang, the matter must be investigated, but don't make people panic, the world is already unstable, so that everyone is in danger, how can they live?" ”

Lord Huang seemed to be a clever person, and soon caught that Xu Changqing had already begun to shift his strategic goals, and he kowtowed harder: "What Master Hou said is that Xiaguan will immediately go and stare at it, and if there is no conclusive suspicion, Xiaguan will release people as soon as possible to stabilize order in the city......"

As soon as Lord Huang left, Queen Zhou walked over quickly: "Changqing, you haven't slept all night?" ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "I'm used to it." How's it going, was it okay last night? ”

Queen Zhou bit her red lip: "It's all right, you have to pay more attention to rest, don't fight so hard in case of trouble, let's go to live in the camp outside the city later......"

Feeling Queen Zhou's genuine concern, Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, things will come out soon." ”

……

Not long after communicating with Empress Zhou, Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong left the city and went to the military camp to stay, but Xu Changqing stayed.

The ability of the prefect Huang is still very good, and in the evening, more than half of the more than 200 people who were arrested were released, leaving only some core personnel.

Xu Changqing had slept for a day at this time, recovered a lot of energy, and after listening to Lord Huang's report, he extended the deadline for him for another three days.

At this time, Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi also hurried over, he only received the news this morning.

"Brother, how could this happen? Are you alright? ”

Kong Yinzhi's face was covered with wind and frost, and the whole person was a lot haggard, and he was sincerely concerned.

He had already boarded Xu Changqing's 'thief ship' at this time, and he had huge interests with Xu Changqing, and he definitely didn't want Xu Changqing to have an accident.

Xu Changqing smiled and handed him a cigar, and ordered one slowly: "It's okay, Brother Lao cares." How's it going, it's going well on my brother's side? ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing was really fine, Kong Yinzhi relieved himself and introduced the matter on his side to Xu Changqing, if it wasn't for last night's incident, he would have held a family meeting tomorrow.

"Brother, actually, whether you are a person or a worker, there is no need to be too anxious. Now in such a state, I will definitely stay in Jining for a few more days. Besides, it's not like I'm not coming back, I like it very much, you can take your time. Whether we are a person or a worker, we must convince people with virtue. ”

Although Xu Changqing's words were in the clouds, Kong Yinzhi had lived for most of his life, and he still had the political acumen he should have, and he quickly captured the core, and he was a lot more excited at once, and said cautiously: "Brother, do you need my brother's help?" ”

Xu Changqing was waiting for Kong Yinzhi's words, nodded with a smile: "Old brother, don't worry, come, let's have a good drink with the gentry of Jining City tonight." ”

……

In the next two days, Xu Changqing did not seem to be affected by the assassination incident at all, but had deeper contact with many gentry in Jining, and Kong Yinzhi, the prince of Yansheng, was always accompanied.

However, as things continue to ferment, they have already spread everywhere.

In the city of Nanjing, the matter has been rumored, from the palace nobles to the peddlers and pawns, this matter is being discussed everywhere.

In particular, the news in the flower boats on the Qinhuai River is newer and more detailed.

"Did you find the news? Which stupid X is the hand? ”

When night fell, on the colorful Qinhuai River, in an inconspicuous small flower boat, Ruan Dacheng was like a fat cat with fried hair, staring at a fierce man in his early thirties in front of him.

"Master, for the time being, not yet...... However, according to the current news, it should not be our people here in Nanjing......"

"Rubbish! Get out, don't come back if you can't find out! ”

"Yes......"

sent the tough man away, but Ruan Dacheng sat on the soft couch with his butt, his face full of weakness.

I thought this was a good thing, and when the people from the north contacted him, he didn't care much, but who would have thought that Xu Changqing was simply a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.

Now, not only did the good thing not come to pass, but it would delay the time when the prince ascended the throne, and stealing chickens would not make it impossible to lose rice......
