The fire of the two big ships has been extinguished, the tail is almost burned out, revealing a dark and ugly dragon skeleton, hundreds of ministers on the shore are pointing and talking about this bizarre fire, and there is a row of corpses wrapped in reed mats placed on the edge of the dark river, this fire killed five palace maids and three eunuchs, but they were not burned to death, but unfortunately drowned after jumping down the river in a hurry.

A small boat slowly docked, Zhang Jin went ashore with a solemn expression, he just went to the burned big boat to look for clues, but found nothing, the saint ordered him to solve the case within three days, but he didn't even have a clue, how to solve the case.

"General!"

Pei Ju stepped forward and asked with concern, "Did you find any clues?" ”

Zhang Jin now hates officials running to ask questions, but he doesn't dare to offend Pei Ju, Zhang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "All the clues have been burned, and the two ships are burned in one part, so it can only be clear that someone set fire to it, but nothing else is known." ”

"Did the general ask the palace maid or the eunuch? See what they've discovered? ”

"The queen mother did not allow it, saying that they were frightened and that I was not allowed to disturb them again."

"Or look up the motive again."

Pei Ju said again: "Since someone set the fire, why did they choose these two ships, and what is so special about these two ships?" What is the purpose of checking them? Maybe you can find a clue. ”

Zhang Jin secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, he knew very well why the arsonist chose these two ships, because in front of these two ships was the queen's boat, and in front of them was the Tianzi Dragon Boat, which was the closest to the Tianzi Dragon Boat The two big ships that were not guarded by soldiers, and the other party's target should be the Tianzi Dragon Boat.

But Zhang Jin didn't want to talk to Pei Ju anymore, so he arched his hand, "Thank you Pei Gong for reminding me, I will continue to investigate in detail." I took my leave. ”

Zhang Jin walked quickly towards his camp, although he was a general, but he did not take a boat, but stayed with the soldiers of the right guard, which was also a little dissatisfied in Zhang Jin's heart, their right guard was responsible for the perimeter guard. And the internal vigilance was Zuo Tunwei's responsibility, and in the end something happened, the saint did not let Zuo Tunwei's general Yun Dingxing investigate, but put the task on himself.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the camp, he heard someone behind him calling him, "General, please stay!" ”

"I don't know anything!"

Zhang Jin finally couldn't help but be angry, he was extremely irritable in his heart, and turned his head to look at the other party, but the other party was a young general. Very familiar, Zhang Jin suddenly remembered, "It turned out to be General Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and saluted: "I don't want to disturb the general, but I may have a clue about it." ”

"Ahh

Zhang Jin was suddenly overjoyed, his face was full of smiles, and he enthusiastically pulled Zhang Xuan's arm, "Come on!" Come! Come! Come into my tent and sit down. ”

Zhang Jin invited Zhang Xuan to sit down in his big tent. asked his own soldiers to serve a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and he asked impatiently, "What clues does General Zhang have?" ”

"I'd like to ask the general first. What clues have been found so far about the fire? ”

"What other clues can there be, I only know that someone set the fire, but who is the arsonist and what is the motive? I don't know anything, and what's worse is that the Holy One only gave me three days. How can I find out? ”

After speaking, Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Xuan with anticipation, he hoped that Zhang Xuan could give him a useful clue and not let himself be happy.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I encountered a very strange thing today. ”

Zhang Xuan told him about what happened today near the South Gate of Chenliu County, and finally said: "I don't understand what they are doing stealing soldiers' waist cards? In the event of a fire. My first reaction was that they set the fire, but it didn't seem to be the right time, but in any case, it was very strange, and maybe it had something to do with the fire on the big ship. ”

Zhang Jin was also silent, he knew that ordinary Xiaoguo guard soldiers were not allowed to get on the harem boat, and these people couldn't get on the boat even if they got the waist card, but the problem was that there was no one guarding the two ships at that time, maybe they just used the waist card to mix the perimeter guard.

It's a bit of truth that Zhang Xuan said in terms of time, but now that Zhang Jin is in a hurry to go to the doctor, he doesn't have any clues at all, as long as there is a little clue, he won't let it go, and even he only needs a scapegoat, so that he can hand over errands.

"May I ask where is General Zhang's iron bow?"

Zhang Xuan walked to the tent door and waved, and a personal soldier ran over with the big iron bow and slowly placed it on the ground.

"What kind of bow is this?"

Zhang Jin smiled and picked up the huge iron bow, he tried to pull the bow, but only half of it was pulled apart, Zhang Jin shook his head and smiled at Zhang Xuan: "This is a special bow, it takes at least three stones of strength to pull it apart, but the workmanship is not fine enough, and it is not practical." ”

"That's not the problem."

Zhang Xuan pointed to the back of the bow, "There is a name engraved here, and this is the key to this bow." ”

Zhang Jin hurriedly turned the bow over, only to see five small characters engraved on it, 'Wang Wu Xiong Broad Sea'.

"The Mighty Sea?"

Zhang Jin frowned, "Who is he?" ”

"I inquired, this person is a bandit in Wangwushan, who has the courage of ten thousand people to make a one hundred and fifty pounds of cooked copper stick, which should be the person I saw today, but I don't know how he came to Chenliu County, but I think he should still be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to blend into the army, even if the person who set the fire is not him, he should also be an insider."

"But how can I find him?" Zhang Jin was still confused.

Zhang Xuan's tone became respectful, and he smiled and said, "This person can help the general find it, but the general needs to give the lowly position a pass pass to enter the barracks." ”

Zhang Jin took an arrow from the table and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "With this arrow, you can enter and leave the camp at will, and the general must return it to me after it is finished." ”

Zhang Xuan didn't expect Zhang Jin to be so happy, he took the arrow and said lightly: "I need to remind the general to pay attention, the background of this arson case is by no means so simple. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Xuan suspiciously, he felt that Zhang Xuan had something to say.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "There are some words that can't be said nonsense, but it is always wrong to be careful, if the lowly position is a general, he will definitely search the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven thoroughly, of course, this is just a reminder, the general please consider yourself, the lowly post will resign first, and there is news that the lowly post will notify the general immediately." ”

Zhang Xuan saluted and turned to leave, Zhang Jin walked to the tent door, looking at Zhang Xuan's distant back, he was still recalling Zhang Xuan's words just now, why do you want to thoroughly search the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven?

"Could it be—"

Zhang Jin suddenly came to his senses, he understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and immediately shouted: "Go to the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven!" ”

The dragon boat of the Son of Heaven is heavily guarded, and more than 2,000 soldiers are stationed around the dragon boat, and the soldiers seem to be facing a great enemy, and even a small bird does not want to fly on the boat.

Yang Guang was in a bad mood today, he dared someone to sabotage his dragon boat fleet, and his dragon boat was only separated by the queen's big boat, only a few hundred steps away, if the river wind was a little stronger, and even blew the fire on his dragon boat, wouldn't this be a plot to kill himself?

At night, Yang Guang sat sullenly beside Queen Xiao, and he had no intention of dealing with government affairs tonight, just to talk to his wife a little to relieve her fear.

Empress Xiao was so frightened to see the palace maid crying and jumping off the boat in the fire, and witnessing the guards scoop the drowned palace maid onto the boat, which made Empress Xiao very frightened, and she sat in the corner of the boathouse, wiping her tears with silk from time to time.

A crisp cloud board sounded, only to see more than a dozen brightly dressed dancing girls rushing in, dancing on the golden hall, the silk bamboo on both sides is pleasant, Yang Guang comforted Empress Xiao a few words, and Empress Xiao barely cheered up from her low mood.

At this moment, someone shouted from outside the lobby: "I want to see the saint, the dragon boat is not safe, the saint must be transferred!" ”

Yang Guang was stunned, he heard that this was the voice of the general Zhang Jin, but what did Zhang Jin mean by this?

"Stop!" He shouted, and the dancers in the hall stopped dancing.

Suddenly, the cold light flashed in the dancing girl, and I saw a blue dagger appear in the hand of a dancing girl, only to hear her soft chirp, jumped up, and pounced on Yang Guang,

She came quickly, and when she was still a dozen steps away from Yang Guang, the dagger shot out of her hand and shot at Yang Guang, and the dagger arrived in front of Yang Guang's eyes in the blink of an eye, and almost everyone was stunned by this scene.

At this critical moment, a personal guard with strong martial arts took the lead in reacting, he drew his sword too late, grabbed a little eunuch and threw it over, the little eunuch's body just blocked Yang Guang, and the dagger stabbed into the back of the little eunuch, and the little eunuch screamed and died immediately.

The personal guard jumped up, kicked the Assassin Maihime out of the air, and shouted to the people around him, "Don't catch the assassin yet!" ”

Only then did the guards on both sides react, roaring and rushing up, there was an exclamation in the hall, dozens of guards guarded the pale Yang Guang and the disgraced Empress Xiao, and more than a dozen guards surrounded and killed the assassin Dancing Queen.

The assassin dancer was forced to the corner of the cabin by Yang Guang's personal guards, there was no way out, she laughed miserably, if it was a little later, she would have danced to the side of the faint king, and the faint king would definitely die, but unfortunately it fell short, she immediately pulled out another quenched dagger and stabbed it into her chest. )
