Chapter 672: The Eagle Has Several Claws
Chapter 672 The eagle has several claws
Luozhou is really not too far from Chang'an, and the fast horse can run to it in less than a day. Riding on a horse, Fang Yiai's left hand was swinging around, because he had been a one-armed man for a long time, if he wanted to return to normal, he had to practice. Leaving Chang'an this time, in addition to Begonia accompanying him, Wen Luo and **Yi also followed. Wen Luo doesn't need to say it, but **Yi is not purely for fun. Now that the business in Luozhou has not been fully opened, she just happened to take advantage of the prestige of Fang Yiai's love to meet the people in the officialdom of Luozhou.
No matter what era, the combination of government and business is unavoidable, the business is bigger, there will always be contact with the people in the yamen, if you don't have a good relationship with the official, these three days and two ends of the two ends of the head to trouble you, who can stand it?
Xie Wen'an had long wanted to chat with Fang Yiai in private, but because Qi Weiyu was there, he didn't dare to show it too obviously.
After arriving in Luozhou, Fang Yiai directly led people to the Thorn History Mansion, Guo Liang knew Fang Yiai, as a member of the party, if he didn't know the noble children in the capital, then this official would be too incompetent.
Waving his sleeves, Guo Liang saluted Fang Yiai, "Xiaguan Luozhou Assassin Guo Liang, see General Fang!" The lower officials have prepared a banquet in the hall."
"Excuse me, put aside the meal in advance, Guo Tingshi, let someone take Fang to see Cui Zhouping's corpse first!" Of course, Fang Yiai will not follow Guo Liang, he came to Luozhou this time for the assassination case, no matter whether he can find out anything or not, he has to be serious. Qi Weiyu was watching from the side, if Li Shimin knew that someone from his room had come to Luozhou, and he would eat and drink the sea first, wouldn't his face be black?
"Okay, Xiaguan will take you there!" Guo Liang saw that Fang Yiai was a little unhappy, so he didn't force it, and after ordering his subordinates to approach the female dependents to the back hall, he led Fang Yiai out of the Assassin's Mansion.
The corpse is placed in the class room next to the government office, this kind of thing is normal, the Assassin Mansion is an important state government office, what is the matter with putting a dead person?
Cui Zhouping's body was lying quietly on the wooden board, and Fang Yiai took a closer look at Cui Zhouping's appearance, this person is equivalent to more than one meter seven points tall, and his age is about thirty-six or seventeen years old. Judging from his face, this Cui Zhouping looks like an honest person, but sometimes, an honest person is not necessarily a good person.
Without Fang Yiai's instructions, Lu Gang entered the state of work, Guo Liang has been an official for decades, and it is the first time to see others fiddling with corpses.
Lu Gang was still looking at every part of the corpse carefully as usual, especially when he looked at his mouth, he was about to put his face on Cui Zhouping's face. Guo Liang's cheek couldn't help twitching, this General Fang is really different enough, who are you using?
Fang Yiai had already seen that Guo Liang was a little uncomfortable, and it just so happened that he still thought that Guo Liang was a little in the way here, "Guo Tingshi, why don't you take the main book and bring the case file!" "In this way, Fang Yiai also wants to support Qi Weiyu, with this guy here, he doesn't want to say something private to Xie Wen'an.
Qi Weiyu didn't seem to have any suspicion at all, he stretched out his hand to Guo Liang and said, "Guo Tingshi, I'm sorry for you, the lower officials also do things according to the rules." β
"It's okay, it's okay, Master Qi will come with Guo!" Guo Liang looked very polite, as if Qi Weiyu was more powerful than him. In fact, Qi Weiyu's main book is far from the position of the assassin, not to mention that Guo Liang is still a Shangzhou assassin. But this is just a superficial thing, you must know that Qi Weiyu is a Beijing official, and he is still the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Xiao Gong, the dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department, it can really be regarded as a promising future. Therefore, Guo Liang really has to be polite to Qi Weiyu, and he can't guarantee that Qi Weiyu will be the future servant of the Criminal Department.
After Qi Weiyu left with Guo Liang, Xie Wenan had the opportunity to chat with Fang Yiai, "Second son, this time in Luozhou, I don't know what the lower officials should do?" β
"Master Xie, you don't have to do anything, just help Fang keep an eye on Qi Weiyu, before leaving Luozhou, you must pester him, Fang doesn't want Qi Weiyu to get in the way and ruin the big thing of this son!" If it weren't for Li Shimin's thoughts, Fang Yiai would have left Qi Weiyu aside, and for a person who can't be sure, Fang Yiai really wouldn't dare to be careless.
"Okay, second son, don't worry, Xie will definitely find something to hold Qi Weiyu back!" Xie Wen'an is quite confident in what he said, but he is not talking nonsense, there are many ways to pester people, and when the time comes, it will be enough to find more things to do for Qi Weiyu.
Lu Gang checked for a long time before shaking his head and muttering to himself, "Weird, weird" Lu Gang's chattering appearance made Fang Yiai's head big for a while.
poked Lu Gang's waist and eyes, Fang Yiai didn't have a good air, "What's weird?" You have something to say, what's wrong? β
"Major General, look at Cui Zhouping's forehead, although there are some scars, but according to small estimates, it shouldn't kill him. You are looking at the wound on the neck, this is fatal, and the strangest thing is that Cui Zhouping doesn't seem to have struggled at all. β
"Could it be that after being knocked unconscious, he did it again?" After Fang Yiai finished speaking, he shook his head, even if he was knocked out, it was impossible for Cui Zhouping to not even resist at all. Of course, if it's an acquaintance, that's a different story.
"Lu Gang, you check it carefully, and if you find anything, notify me immediately!" After confessing a few words to Lu Gang, Fang Yiai led Wen Luo and Xie Wen'an out of the morgue. Waiting for Qi Weiyu and Guo Liang to come back, several people came to the mansion, and Cui Zhouping died in the west room of the mansion.
Since the accident, Guo Liang has locked the door of the class room, and after being an official for so many years, he knows the important surname of protecting the scene. When I opened the door, I smelled a musty smell, the house was cool and shady, if people stayed here in the middle of the night, then they wouldn't be frozen stupid?
"Guo Tingshi, when you found out that Cui Zhouping died, what time was it?" Fang Yiai asked and took over the case file in Qi Weiyu's hand.
Guo Liang thought about it for a moment and replied, "It's about a moment of ugliness, the soldiers who patrolled at the beginning saw that the lights were still on in the squad room, so they came to check it out." β
Ugly moment? Fang Yiai looked at the autopsy record in the file again, and it was written that Cui Zhouping had only been dead for half an hour at that time, which means that Cui Zhouping was still alive when he was young. It's so weird, what is Cui Zhouping doing in the middle of the night in the government office?
"Guo Tingshi, what are the important official duties in Luozhou today, or what duties have you assigned to Cui Zhouping?"
"No, if you want to talk about important matters, it is only the matter of Your Majesty here a year ago, as for the recent incident, there has really been no accident. Don't hide it from General Fang, Guo also doesn't understand it, Cui Zhouping is very normal, and he will usually leave the mansion when he is in time. β
Fang Yiai walked slowly in the house a few steps, the furnishings in the room still remained the same, the chairs did not fall, the table did not turn over, and there was no trace of a fight. What did Cui Zhouping stay for? Could it be someone waiting for? But who is he waiting for?
Fang Yiai was sure that there must be some secret hidden in this inconspicuous class room, otherwise Cui Zhouping would not have to wait here. Maybe he wanted to know something at that time, but unexpectedly, he ushered in a sharp sword.
After stopping in the house for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he had to retreat. Guo Liang set up a banquet, but Fang Liang's love was not too big, but in order to open up Luozhou's business, he could only pretend to smile and chat with Guo Liang.
At night, Fang Yiai and **Yi rested in the same room, lying in **, but Fang Yiai was tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep. **Yi was a little tired, she stretched out her jade arm to stop the neck of her beloved, and hummed quietly, "Husband, it's the middle of the night, you still haven't slept, what do you think?" β
"It's not Cui Zhouping's business, that guy's death is unknown, and there are no clues at all so far. His Majesty sent him to his husband, but for the purpose of investigating the case, if he couldn't find out anything, His Majesty would not show him a good face. β
"Then you can't sleep too, can you just stare at it like this, and you can see some clues?" **Yi was also an unintentional sentence, who ever thought that Fang Yiai sat up suddenly.
Wait, yes, why didn't you think of it, why did Cui Zhouping stay up in the class room until midnight and didn't leave, since he didn't know the reason, it would be like Cui Zhouping to sit in the class room and wait for a while? Thinking of this, Fang Yiai hurriedly got dressed, and when he put on his shoes, he hugged **Yi and kissed him fiercely, "Okay Danyi, you have helped your husband a lot!" "Yi is a little confused, how can she help?
Out of the house, Fang Yiai found the two loyal servants plus Wen Luo, and the four of them came to Cui Zhouping's dead class room together.
Wen Luo was woken up from her sleep, of course she was a little unhappy, she yawned and gently pinched Fang Yiai, "Fang Jun, what the hell are you doing, it's past the hour, you still don't let people sleep." β
"Luo'er, as far as your opinion is concerned, you see that Tie Jin and Brother Dao didn't say anything!" Before Fang Yiai finished speaking, he was despised by Wen Luo for a while. Heavenly Dao and Tie Jin are two loyal rammers, not to mention wandering around in the middle of the night, even if they let them dig graves in the middle of the night, they will not have any complaints.
Reopened the class room, and after a while of entering the room, the four of them were shivering from the cold. Fang Yiai is also a little uncomfortable, especially on his left arm, and the wound has a feeling of numbness. Enduring the cold chill, Fang Yiai sat quietly on the chair that Cui Zhouping had sat on. He squinted his eyes and tried his best to imagine Cui Zhouping's thoughts.
The night was getting darker and deeper, but the room was quiet and frightening, and whenever Fang Yi loved to think, the two loyal servants would consciously guard the door. Wen Luo also knew that he couldn't disturb Fang Yuai's love at this time, so he paced around with his arms in his arms.
Tonight, the moon was not round, but the moonlight still penetrated the gray mist, and when the time came, the moonlight fell in the Thorn Mansion, and a faint moonlight passed through the class room and sprinkled a small shadow on the ground.
The shadow slowly became clear, and then it became a familiar pattern, with a monkey's head and a wolf's body and eagle claws, surrounded by a circular border. Fang Yiai was stunned, and Wen Luo was already stunned, there was a pattern of a monkey spirit here. Fang Yiai had an inexplicable excitement, and he felt that he had touched a secret that had been buried for many years. He remembered the gold medal he had found in the Luoyue Valley of Puchang Hai, and this pattern and the gold medal were almost carved out of the same mold.
"Fang Jun, come and take a look, this pattern is so strange, this eagle claw is actually four claws!" Wen Luo squatted on the ground with a look of surprise.
Fang Yiai rolled her eyes, is this woman stupid? "Luo girl, what are you talking about, aren't there four or a few eagle talons?"
"Fang Jun, you are stupid, have you carefully looked at the previous patterns, the eagle claws on those patterns are five-clawed!"
"Huh?" Fang Yiai is a little interested now, and I really haven't looked carefully at how many claws there are on that pattern before.
Fang Yiai didn't bother to confirm how many claws there were, anyway, just wait to see the previous pattern later. He was very curious about how this pattern was formed now, and when he looked for it in the moonlight, he saw a small round hole above the window of the class room, which Fang Yiai had never noticed before.
Climbing to the window, Fang Yiai asked Tie Jin to fetch a torch, the two ends of this small round hole are no different from ordinary holes, but they are still inside, only to see a hollow carving in the hole, as if someone has stuffed a shrunken monkey spirit pattern into it.
Sometimes, Fang Yiai really admires the ancients, and he can do such a mysterious mechanism. (To be continued.) )
