The sudden rain on Chinese New Year's Eve brought an even more icy chill to the cold imperial capital Jinling, and it rained all night, and the first day of the new year, the first day of the new year, the first day of the new year, finally stopped. People walked out of the house with joy www.biquge.info breathed the fresh air with a few wisps of earthy fragrance, although it was cold outside the house, but it could not stop everyone's expectations for the New Year and the ardent yearning for a better life.

However, as soon as the sky dawned on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a terrible scream that broke the peaceful Jinling City. Immediately, everyone was boiling, and in the bustling streets of Jinling City, a broken carriage fell in the middle of the street, and the horses pulling the carriage did not know where to go. A wilted groom fainted in the street, and after a night rain, the old groom had already died of exhaustion. There was also a man in a bright suit who fell down the street, a tiny hole of blood in his eyebrows, and his eyes were open in anger and indignation.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a murder in Jinling City, where Su Ming, the captain of the forbidden military academy of the Imperial Palace, was assassinated, but the murderer was never heard from. Suddenly, the imperial capital full of joy was full of people, and the streets were full of people talking about this case, who was so bold and reckless, even the captain of the forbidden military academy of the palace dared to assassinate him. For a time, people were also cloudy, some people said that they were killed for love, some people said that it was done by spies in other countries, and some people said that it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but the scene of the murder was washed away by the drizzle all night, and there was no clue.

Today was supposed to be the day of the court holiday, and the death of a forbidden military captain would not have caused any uproar, but the Southern Tang Emperor was furious and hurriedly convened his ministers to discuss the matter. As soon as the emperor gave an order, the whole city was on alert, and the palace was even more noisy, and the forbidden troops were silently guarding the inside and outside of the palace. In addition to the anger of the dragon face on the dragon chair, the ministers were even more furious, and they all spoke to severely punish the murderer.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hongji did not go to court, and he was immersed in the flowers last night, where can he still get up, when he learned of this dissipation, his face suddenly showed ecstasy. When he wanted to enter the palace, he found that the ministers of the previous court had long dispersed, and he could only return to his prince's mansion in a huff.

"Even the captain of the forbidden army dares to assassinate, it seems that you are really bold, even if there is that dead fat man to protect you, as long as I let my father know the news, the sixth child, it seems that you can only carry this black cauldron." Li Hongji's eyes revealed a fierce color, and his face with a rich atmosphere began to become distorted, like that hideous demon.

Chang Yong was busy at home with his elderly mother, and he saw that the pot of steaming noodles was about to cook, but unexpectedly, there was a rapid knock on the door of his house. And he could only helplessly put down the noodles in the pot and let his wife serve them. When he opened the courtyard door, he was stunned, and the people standing outside the courtyard gate were all his colleagues, all of whom were caught in the Jingzhao Mansion, and their faces were a little dignified, obviously not the usual New Year's etiquette like going from house to house. Because they are all wearing official uniforms, their eyes are extremely dignified.

came to the scene, as an experienced arrester, the murder case was quickly finalized, and it was a murder case of vendetta in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the murderer was a master with a sword, and a sword hit the center of the eyebrows, and that sword killed the forbidden military captain. Although the scene was washed clean by last night's rain, the split carriage showed that the two had engaged in a fierce fight, and the two sides were still indistinguishable at first. What made Chang Yong wonder was why the forbidden army captain with deep internal strength was killed by the other party's sword, according to common sense, the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, and this forbidden army captain could have escaped.

The torn carriage was sprinkled with sawdust, and distinct sword marks emerged from the wooden planks of the carriage, and the murderer's methods were somewhat sketchy, obviously not a master of assassination. If it had been an experienced Assassin, there would obviously not have been any of these detailed sword marks on the scene. The murderer should have been just seeking revenge, but what kind of hatred would put him at risk in order to kill a forbidden military captain.

Chang Yong fell into deep thought, judging from the Dao sword marks and knife marks left on this carriage, it can be seen that the internal strength of the two of them is deeper than that of this swordsman. If the forbidden lieutenant wanted to escape, he would definitely be able to escape, but why he hadn't escaped the swordsman's poisonous hand made him wonder very much. He examined the deceased's whole body again, and found that apart from the fatal blow on his eyebrows, there was not a single wound on the Forbidden Captain's body, which further confirmed his reasoning.

Subsequently, he asked someone to transport the corpse of the forbidden army captain back to the mansion, but he saw that Lord Fu Yin was frowning, with a dead father's expression, which made Chang Yong very disgusted. The death of a forbidden military lieutenant made Lord Yin so concerned, but he didn't say a word about the missing children. Is the black gauze hat on his head more important than the missing children, is a Janissary lieutenant more important than the lives of the children?

Although Chang Yong was indignant in his heart, he still expressed his reasoning, and then mentioned the case of the child's disappearance and the case of the four dead bodies floating in the pond next to the sheepskin alley. However, to his disappointment, Lord Nafu Yin was not interested in the other cases he had told him at all.

"Chang catches the head, the official knows that you have a slight remark in your heart, but this time is different, it is the forbidden army in the palace who died, and it is a matter of losing the face of the royal family. The other cases must be put down anyway, and this case should be investigated first. The murderer must be brought to justice, and the information of the forbidden army captain is here, so check it out for yourself. Lord Yin of Nafu showed a helpless look on his face, and said to Chang Yong, and he handed over a thick stack of scrolls to Chang Yong's hand, and after explaining this, he walked out of the mansion.

If Chang Yong is the only one left in the big mansion, and the other colleagues are all arranged by him to go back, this case will not be found out for a while. And the first half of the first month of the new year was supposed to be a day holiday, and he only had an elderly lady, and he didn't have much to do, so he decided to stay alone to investigate these cases.

After reading the thick stack of volumes, Chang Yong had a general understanding of the identity of the forbidden military captain. The forbidden army captain was named Su Ming, who was originally from Jiangning, the northern capital, and came to the imperial capital Jinling during the chaos of the war. And he also slowly became a forbidden army guarding the palace from a small soldier, and slowly became a forbidden military captain. There is no record in this scroll of any enemies or any of his enemies, nor of his family.

Chang Yong didn't see any useful information from that scroll, but some of the things that had happened in Jinling City in the past few days had passed through his mind again. He had also heard about the mysterious sect Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion in Jinling City recruiting disciples, but he didn't think that this matter had anything to do with the mysterious sect, after all, it was the largest sect in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and if he wanted to kill a forbidden army captain, there could be a thousand ways to do it, and there were really no traces left on the scene.

Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion was excluded by him, and a lonely and innocent figure flashed in his mind, and the deeds of a blue-shirted young man rumored in the martial arts cultivation world in Jinling City slowly appeared in his mind. He was only a gut feeling, but this directness was often not supported by any favorable evidence. Finally, he remembered that night, another blue-shirted boy faced dozens of forbidden soldiers alone for a yellow dog.

Thinking of this, he seemed to grasp something, he didn't know if the two blue-shirted teenagers who shook Jinling were the same person, but his intuition told him that it must be the same person. Why did the forbidden army appear that night, in order to surround an old yellow dog, and what is the relationship between that yellow dog and that young man, could it be that Su Ming was also at the scene. Chang Yong immediately grasped the key point, which made his tiger eyes suddenly shine.

The blue-shirted young man, a man carrying a bladeless black iron sword, judging from Su Ming's corpse, was indeed a fatal blow caused by a sword. But Chang Yong still has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't know why the figure of the blue-shirted young man keeps appearing in his mind, and it lingers, is that young man the murderer. But he also heard that that night, another person appeared, the current saint's younger brother Yongchang Wang, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little fat Taoist priest.

All this is obviously not as simple as he imagined, Chang Yong thought of some rumors again, about the rumors in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Congjia, the sixth prince of Anding County, are fighting openly and secretly, and both of them covet the dragon throne. It is rumored that the sixth prince Li Congjiawei went on a tour of Jiangzhou and brought back the blue-shirted boy, obviously the blue-shirted boy was the sixth prince's person. Chang Yong thought of this, and a thin bead of sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead.

He was astonished at his assumptions, and if all this was confirmed, then it would be against him whether he checked it or not. Even if he finds out, what can he do, can he still arrest the people around the emperor's relatives with a small catcher, if he doesn't investigate, then how can he explain to Lord Yin of Nafu. I never thought that a simple murder case would involve so many things.

He stood with his hands in his hands, standing above this court, if he was the only one left in the big court, and his thoughts were in a thousand directions. He had already seen some clues from that volume, that Su Ming must be a member of the prince's family, but the forbidden army in the palace fought for a yellow dog, which made him very indignant. He also had sympathy for what happened to the blue-shirted boy, and it was obvious that the yellow dog was very important to the boy.

In his mind, he vaguely seemed to remember where he had seen this young man, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this young man. Gently threw the file in his hand back on the desk in the public court, Chang Yong felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, these people are not something he can afford to provoke, on the one hand, the prince's side, on the other hand, the six princes' side, if one is not careful, he will definitely fall into the whirlpool of the two princes fighting for the throne.

Thinking of his old lady, Chang Yong felt a warmth in his heart at this time, and he was still in the government on the first day of the new year, but he couldn't accompany his old lady well. With a faint sense of shame in his heart, Chang Yong decided to go to the sheepskin alley first, he always felt that the alley was a little weird, and he directly told him that he would find some unexpected gains in that alley.
