The moment An Zheng saw the corpse of Song Haijing, his mind buzzed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Two hours earlier, the kind elder had been standing in front of him talking to him, apologizing for his ignorant granddaughter. As the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, he personally came to apologize to An Zheng, which already shows who he is. An Zheng's mind was still echoing with the old man saying before leaving, if you have time to come to me, I have good tea.

The tea is still there, but the people are dead.

"Bold, so rude in front of the Queen Mother!"

A voice shouted in An Zheng's ear, pulling An Zheng out of that endless anger like thunder.

An Zheng leaned over: "Meet the Queen Mother, meet the King." ”

Yan Wang Mu Changyan waved his hand: "Let's be flat...... I brought you here to ask you, because someone had seen it before, and the dean had seen it before. ”

An Zheng told in detail about the meeting of his Songhai Sutra, and did not have any reservations. But there is no mention of the Ministry of Rites Lang Ding and his son, only that there is some contradiction with Sang Rou. He knew that the clearer he said at this time, the more helpful it would be to solve the case. He saw Sang Rou kneeling next to Song Haijing's corpse, already crying and almost fainting.

For a moment, An Zheng felt a knife stabbing in his heart.

Song Haijing is the dean of the martial arts academy personally elected by Hao Ping'an, the former secretary of the military department, and is naturally a person trusted by Hao Ping'an. Now Hao Ping'an is dead, Song Haijing is dead, and all this happened after he arrived in Fanggu City. In less than ten days, the Military Academy of the Ministry of War encountered major events one after another. Dozens of people were investigated and punished for the security struggle, including a vice president. And the death of Hao Ping'an, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also included seven or eight officials of the Ministry of War.

This kind of thing seems to be inextricably linked to An Zheng.

The Empress Dowager Su Qingnuan listened all the time, and after An Zheng finished speaking, she turned her head sideways and asked the people around her: "In other words, he is also suspected of assassinating Dean Sang?"

Yan Wang Mu Changyan's face changed: "Yes, yes, but he has been with the candidates in the martial arts arena and has never left." ”

Su Qingnuan sighed: "That's right, since there is nothing to do with him, let him go down." ”

Mu Changyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand: "You step back first, don't make a noise about this matter first, so as not to cause confusion among the candidates." ”

An Zheng responded, and walked out of the conference hall in a mess, thinking about Song Haijing's amiable face for a while, and the black oil-paper umbrella that seemed to be familiar for a while.

Chen Shaobai.

An Zheng saw Chen Shaobai just now, and he was standing not far from the Queen Mother. Everyone's attention was focused on An Zheng, and no one noticed Chen Shaobai's expression that seemed to be smiling when he looked at An Zheng.

An Zheng was sure that he had seen the black oil-paper umbrella he wanted, and when Chen Shaobai came to look for him shortly after he arrived in Fanggu City, he carried the oil-paper umbrella he wanted.

Then An Zheng's mind lit up...... The patriarch of the Three Dynasties, the right prime minister Zhuge Yan died that day.

An Zheng quickened his pace to leave, feeling a fire burning in his heart. This Chen Shaobai is extremely suspicious, and he must find out what is going on.

Until late at night, all candidates were not allowed to leave the martial arts academy. Several high platforms were temporarily erected on the martial arts arena, on which elite archers were staring at each other. After the forbidden army withdrew, it was the iron cavalry of the military department who came in to maintain order. The military department has 1,002 iron cavalry in the capital, which is subordinate to the city defense army, and all of them have been transferred this time. Half of Fanggu City was almost blocked, and not a single pedestrian was seen on the street.

Hao Ping'an's death has also been characterized as suicide, but Songhaijing is different, he was assassinated, and died under the noses of the Queen Mother and King Yan. In other words, the killer was not far from the Queen Mother and King Yan at that time, what if it was not Songhaijing that he wanted to kill at that time, but the Queen Mother and King Yan?

The people from the criminal department began to intervene and examine the candidates one by one, but most of them were not suspicious, because they were all in the martial arts arena at that time, and they could testify to each other.

Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye leaned together and squinted their eyes to rest, and Du Shou and An Zheng chatted without a word.

An Zheng saw that Chen Shaobai was not far away, and led a team of internal guards to assist in the investigation.

"It's been a little strange lately. ”

There were two candidates whispering not far from An Zheng's side, and one of them lowered his voice and said, "First the old prime minister went, then the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War went, and now the dean of the Martial Academy...... The old prime minister was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and is said to have died of illness. And Lord Shangshu said that he committed suicide and apologized...... I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Another person asked, "Why?"

"Don't you know? Lord Shangshu and Lord Dean...... are all protégés of the old prime minister. And the old prime minister and ......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, and he didn't dare to say them.

Of course, An Zheng knew what he wanted to say, the old prime minister Zhuge Yan and the queen mother had always been at odds, and they had been resisting the control of the descendants over the imperial court. Before the Empress Dowager Su Qingnuan was instructed by Daxi Chen Chongqi to get rid of King Yan, Zhuge Yan once went to the palace to report the news. But King Yan died the next day, so no one knows whether Zhuge Yan has a chance to say it.

An Zheng's speculation was that Zhuge Yan had no chance to say it. That's why the Queen Mother let Zhuge Yan live for a few more years, and now the Queen Mother suddenly exerts her strength, obviously there is something going on.

Zhuge Yan, Hao Ping'an, Songhai Jing...... An Zheng's mind connected the three people into a line. These are the more important roles in the forces that resist the Queen Mother, these people died one by one, and now there is only Chen Zaiyan who can be called the leader of the forces against the Queen Mother in the court.

This matter is absolutely inseparable from the Queen Mother. Chen Shaobai is now the chief guard of the Splendid Palace, if he makes a move...... Everything is clearly explained.

It was the Queen Mother who asked Chen Shaobai to kill people, and Chen Shaobai was a lackey of the Queen Mother.

An Zheng suddenly felt nauseous, and couldn't help but look down at the soles of his feet. There is quite a bit of dirt on the soles, but there is no shit. The shit is not in the sole of the shoe, in his heart, the shit is called Chen Shaobai.

There was nothing to say all night, probably because almost all the candidates did not have the time and motive to assassinate Songhaijing, and they were finally released at noon the next day. However, the martial arts assessment that should have been carried out could only be postponed. No one knows when it will be, and when they leave, everyone has a thick shadow in their hearts.

An Zheng was in a very bad mood, very bad.

When he walked out of the gate of the martial arts academy, he saw a plain white Sang Rou.

Standing there, like a pitiful Gesang Medo. The people of the Western Regions call Gesang Meiduo a happy flower, but at this time, where is there any happiness in Sangrou.

"You're looking for me?"

An Zheng walked over and asked.

Sang Rou nodded: "Looking for you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Help me get my revenge!"

An Zheng was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the girl in front of him who gritted her teeth and said this.

"Why?"

Ann asked.

Sang Rou's expression suddenly collapsed from the strength she had endured, and tears flowed down her face: "Because...... I don't know who else to trust. My father was a man of letters, my mother was not able to practice, and the only one who could avenge my grandfather was me. But I know that I may not be able to do it myself, and maybe in the future I will be killed by the enemy before I find him. I know it's unreasonable to impose my hatred on you, but I have no other way. I looked for you because you dared to beat Ding Shilang's son in front of so many people at the gate of the martial arts academy that day, I wanted to beat him a long time ago, but I didn't dare. ”

"Thank you. ”

She suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed without waiting for An Zheng to react: "If you can avenge my grandfather, I will promise you whatever you want, even if it is for you as a slave." ”

An Zheng suddenly understood that in fact, Sang Rou's concept of right and wrong was still established by the Songhai Sutra, so she was still a very good girl in her bones. She stood in front of An Zheng that day, and she was only because of Ding Ningdong and not because of Ding Taichun. A girl like her should have no friends, maybe Ding Ningdong is the only one. The vast majority of people are actually helping their relatives most of the time, so no one can look down on Sang Rou.

An Zheng stretched out his hand to help Sang Rou up: "I'll try my best to help you find the murderer, but it's better to do it yourself for such a thing as stabbing the enemy." Many people say that women should not kill people and should not have blood on their hands. But every girl who is willing to enter the martial arts academy actually refuses to admit defeat to men. Happiness and revenge are not exclusive to men, I will help you find it, and you will kill it. ”

An Zheng turned around: "Raise your head with wine and kowtow in front of your grandfather's grave, this is revenge." ”

After An Zheng returned to the sect, the only person he could find after thinking about it was An Chengli, the eunuch of Bingbi.

At that time, An Chengli followed Mu Changyan, the king of Yan, and Mu Changyan was always with the Queen Mother. So if Chen Shaobai was not by the Queen Mother's side when Songhai Jing died at that time, An Chengli must have known.

In the afternoon of the same day, An Zheng arrived outside the Tianji Palace, and then asked someone to bring a message to An Chengli. He stuffed a forbidden army silver ticket before the other party agreed, which was one of the things An Zheng hated the most, but he had to do it many times.

Unexpectedly, An Chengli quickly came out of the palace, pretending not to know An Zheng and walked straight forward, An Zheng knew that he was avoiding his ears and eyes.

The two of them left Tianji Palace one after the other, and An Chengli waited for An Zheng in a small forest.

"Gongzi An. ”

An Chengli saw An Zheng coming up, and hugged his fists: "I know what you are looking for me to do, do you want to ask who was not present at the time?"

An Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the person who could become a eunuch at the age of seventeen or eighteen was really extraordinary.

An Chengli asked, "Can you give me a reason? As far as I know, you have nothing to do with Dean Sang. ”

An Zheng replied: "Dean An's granddaughter Sang Rou asked me to check. ”

"It turned out to be between a man and a woman. ”

An Chengli shook his head and sighed: "I don't understand, but many people say that this is one of the worst relationships to refuse a request." Since everyone says that, there must be some truth to it. You didn't hide anything, tell me honestly, and I will tell you frankly...... At that time, none of the people around the king and the queen mother left the scene. ”

An Zheng frowned: "There is no one......?"

An Chengli waved his hand: "Maybe you don't believe in my memory, and you don't believe in my observation, but there is one thing I want you to remember, you came to me, and if you question what I told you, then why did you come to me? There are a total of twelve close guards around the Queen Mother, and they are all there. The internal guards brought by the ministers of the leading guards were also there. But of course, there are faceless guards around the Queen Mother, I don't know. ”

An Zheng hugged his fists: "Gonggong Xie." ”

He handed over a gem, worth ten thousand gold.

An Chengli glanced at the gem and shook his head: "This thing doesn't mean anything to me at all. This gem is really beautiful and valuable, if it is placed in the people, the yellow flower girl is afraid that she can buy dozens or even hundreds. However, for me, no matter how good the gem is, can you buy me a? Obviously not, so ...... Don't send me anything in the future, I'm out of and don't want to die anymore. ”
