Chapter 293: The Adventure of Chu Xing (10)

"Now, can you tell me what happened?" Le Chen looked at the old man surnamed Cheng for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old man surnamed Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "I can't make up my mind about this matter, sir, please wait, I'll go and ask my master." ”

Le Chen bowed slightly, "Mr. Cheng, please." ”

The old man surnamed Cheng bowed his head and gave an order in the ear of an attendant, and then gave his hand, and the attendant led Le Chen and Xuedie into the flower hall in the side courtyard, and after serving fragrant tea, he retreated outside the hall to wait.

Le Chen slowly tasted tea and did not talk to Snow Butterfly.

A few minutes later, Xue Die's voice sounded in his ears: "Shuaiye, the suspect is not in the house, it seems that the first crime scene is to be found, there is part of the physiological information of the deceased, it is not difficult to find the crime scene, but it is necessary to analyze the investigation of room by room." ”

Le Chen was silent, just drinking tea.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and the old man surnamed Cheng walked in quickly, looking at his panting appearance, obviously coming and going in a hurry.

Sitting on the chair next to Le Chen, the old man surnamed Cheng picked up the water cup and poured a few sips, wiped his mouth, glanced at Le Chen, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Mr., as Mr. said, it is not the Xu family in the east of the city, but in the army, but in the tent of His Royal Highness Ning Shuai." ”

Ning Shuai? Le Chen was slightly stunned, living in Beining City, how could he not know Ning Shuai? It was like thunder, this was one of the most legendary figures in the Chu Kingdom.

Ning Shuai, in fact, is the fifth daughter of the king of the Chu Kingdom, named Ning Shuang, the title is Princess Changning, and now she is the commander of the North Camp of the trap camp, and the commander of the trap camp of the heavy cavalry stationed in the northern Xinjiang.

This frost princess, in the rumored wild history is a talented Baiqi people teacher, since childhood bow and horse skill, thirteen years old in the army, three years of service has been promoted to one of the most important commanders in the north due to military achievements, although there are the most important princess status of the plus, but she is also indeed brave and good at fighting, many times led her own soldiers Mandala Brigade to hit the barbarian tribes, so that the barbarians are terrified, see the silver armor general led by the red armor heavy cavalry regiment is invincible.

In fact, the army of the Chu Kingdom does not recruit female soldiers, the prince needs to serve in the military, the princess has no such obligation, but Princess Ningshuang insists on joining the army despite the opposition of her parents, her father's six daughters, the most beloved five daughters and young daughters, but now there is nothing to be done, not to mention that because of Princess Ningshuang, the prestige of the royal family is condensed again, and her father is under the daily blowing of the royal party, but it is not good to force his daughter to retire. You know, the Chu Kingdom system is a dual constitutional monarchy, the monarch has great power, appoints cabinet members, the government is responsible to the monarch, although the parliament has legislative power, but the monarch has the right of veto, and this system, with the wisdom of the Chu king's people, from the folk to the elite, most of the people hope to change, curb the king's power to make the king a symbolic existence, the conservative royal party who supports the royal family gradually loses ground in the contest with the reformists, and the birth of Princess Ningshuang has undoubtedly saved the decline of the royal party, so that the arrogance of the royal party has greatly increased, and Princess Ningshuang has a heavy army in northern Xinjiang, in the eyes of the royal party, this is undoubtedly its biggest reliance, and I don't want Princess Ningshuang to give up her authority。

These battles are Le Chen, an outsider, who can also faintly find clues from the newspapers.

And Le Chen's eyes are full of strange and chaotic talk about "Beining Zhengdi", although I don't know if it is related to the royal party, but when boasting about Princess Ningshuang, of course, this kind of newspaper naturally does not dare to make up anecdotes about Princess Ningshuang, but stories about "Nanshan Old Nun" abound, and in folklore, "Nanshan Old Nun" is the worldly master who taught Princess Ningshuang the arts, in the story of "Beining Zhengdi", Nanshan Old Nin seems to have become a living fairy on land.

Originally, Le Chen had a very low evaluation of "Beining Zhengdi", but today in Li Shuai's study, he saw the teleportation stone formation that became the altar of the barbarians, and when he thought about it at this moment, he couldn't help but have a strange thought, I don't know if this Nanshan old nun really exists, if it exists, and if it is a master outside the world or even a cultivator, he may be able to solve his doubts.

If Nanshan Lao Ni is a cultivator and his cultivation is not high, then his loss of strength is likely because his strength is too strong, which has triggered some latent rules in this world, but Nanshan Lao Ni may have some clues to explore this rule by himself.

But these are all conjectures, and everything needs to be trusted by the frost princess before he knows the clues.

Le Chen was thinking wildly in his mind, but he smiled at the old man surnamed Cheng and said, "It turned out to be Master Cheng, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Master Cheng hurriedly bowed in return: "Don't dare, Mr. smiled." Although his identity was revealed, he was still so courteous, and he arched his hand to the north, and said: "Sir has entered the house with his eyes blind, but if he has discerning eyes, I have reported all these things to His Highness, and His Highness has ordered me to confess to Sir in order to get his help." ”

Le Chen smiled and nodded slightly, but he knew in his heart that the old man was just talking beautifully, and Princess Ningshuang did not come to see him in person, so he naturally had doubts about his identity, especially now that he had dug such a big hole, then, in their eyes, there were two possibilities for his identity, the first was that he was really a talented strange person, and the second was that he was not an accomplice to the murder of Li Shuai, he was also an insider. And if this case cannot be traced back to the source clearly and convincingly, then he must be the latter kind of person, and he is afraid that he will be sent to the gallows without going through the court.

Master Cheng's face gradually turned sad, and he sighed and said: "Don't hide it, it was Grandpa Guo who was assassinated by Xiaoxiao, but the servants in the house and even the relatives of Grandpa Guo were all checked one by one that night, those servants whose whereabouts were vague that night and had no witnesses, they were tortured more times, but they did not get any valuable clues, the truth is foggy, most of them are the winged people or rat people in the barbarians, His Royal Highness hopes to rely on Mr. talent, find the route he infiltrates, or find the traitor who responds to him in the city, so it is not too late to make amends." ”

Le Chen nodded slightly, he already has a certain understanding of the barbarians, the so-called winged people and rat people, as the name suggests, are the two major races in the barbarians, these two barbarians are extremely short, one of them has wings and can fly in the air, it is a winged man, a group of sharp claws like a mouse, has the talent of digging the ground, and is called the rat man by the Chu people, in fact, the two barbarian races are now scarce, and they are gradually extinct.

In fact, from the perspective of life evolution, a certain gene wants to reproduce, it must adapt to the environment, on this planet, the barbarian wing and rat people belong to the natural evolution of the wrong genes that should be eliminated, such as the wing man, viviparous, but often fly in the air, not only the mother is easy to miscarry, and to support its flight needs to eat too much energy, almost every day to eat, the rat people live underground all day long, it is even weaker and sicker, and although these two races seem to be dwarf humans, but the brain capacity is very small and the intelligence is low, in the heyday of the two races, in fact, they often attack the barbarian tribes to plunder their young children, and compete with the barbarian tribes in the food chain position。

Compared with these two tribes, the other barbarian tribes that are obviously more similar to the Chu people were originally also oppressed by the Chu people, but after gradually learning the iron-smelting technology, the barbarian tribes really became stronger, and they formed an overwhelming advantage over the winged people and the rat people.

If the intelligence of the barbarian tribes has not been opened, the winged and nezumi who are now in the same competitive position with them in the ecological chain must have become extinct, but the barbarian tribes have sensed the usefulness of the rat and the winged people, so as to stop the attack on these two endangered races, but enslave and oppress and domesticate, so that the rat and the winged people are used for their own use, and it is also the feeding of the barbarian tribes that makes the two races of the winged and the rat people survive, but the populations of the two races, each with more than 100 people, have to be inbred, and it is only a matter of time before they disappear.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Le Chen waved his hand and said: "Master Cheng's words are wrong, the death of Guogong has nothing to do with the winged man and the rat man, he was not stabbed to death by a sharp weapon in the study, but someone put his body in the study to fake the illusion that Guogong was assassinated." ”

Master Cheng was stunned: "This, why is this?"

Le Chen shook his head and said: "For the time being, I don't know, so I hope to thoroughly investigate the Guogong Mansion and find the first scene of the crime. ”
