"What did you say!?" Wang Shanhai exclaimed in surprise. The former crown prince Bai Heng was the most proud prince of Emperor Jinai.In front of Emperor Jinai, he was also the most beautiful child. At that time, in the Jin Dynasty, everything was new, and everywhere showed a thriving trend of prosperity.

It's just that such a good omen was changed when Bai Heng was 20 years old.

Because Emperor Jin Ai fell in love with a woman, who was said to be the alluring woman of the Fairy from the World.Because of this woman, Emperor Jin Ai turned all his great talents into infatuation and infatuation. Prince Bai Heng, who was once loved so much, was also knocked down into the clouds with his own hands, and became a common man confined in the palace.

The East Palace, which was once prestigious for a while, changed hands and became a means and tool for Emperor Jinai to curry favor with the Xiao family.

"The former prince is also a pitiful person. He is a prince who is highly anticipated by the government and the public, but he is played by a woman in the palm of his hand." Wang Shanhai is just a small policeman, and he has never seen Emperor Jinai beheaded before his own eyes. However, he also experienced the bloody regime change that year.

"The former prince is indeed pitiful, but this fault is mostly on Emperor Jin Ai's body." Ning Ze's shallow brows sharpened coldly for the first time, and a icy sharpness condensed in his calm eyes, "That Xiao Shi is indeed wrong, in the final analysis, Emperor Jin Ai is the culprit."

Wang Shanhai said nothing, and was defeated by Ning Ze's icy sharpness, "I just said that Xiao Shi appeared at a wrong time. If Emperor Jinai had never favored him, he should be living a happy life now." day."

Ning Ze hated Emperor Jin Ai very much, and said in an angry cold voice: "Emperor Jin Ai has been dissatisfied with the crown prince for a long time, and the Xiao family just gave him a bad name for Emperor Jin Ai's dislike of the crown prince. If not, how could Emperor Jin Ai On the day the palace was broken, leaving Xiao Shi who was fascinated by it, he fled alone to his death."

The current monarch of the Southern Kingdom is the son of the Cui family of Huazhou. The Cui family is a rich family with a history of hundreds of years. They are both ancestors of the same time as the founder of Tianmu Mountain, so they naturally have the meaning of closeness.Many of the famous disciples in Tianmu Mountain are descendants of the Cui family, and in front of the princes and daughters, the Cui family also have a few traces of aloofness and innocence.

Regarding Emperor Jin Ai's demise at the hands of the Cui family, it was obviously a joke that was casually brought up for jokes.Chen Ling's best friend...Cui Qiunian often makes fun of Emperor Jinai.Many of the unknown secrets were also told by him.

"It is said that Emperor Jinai is regarded as a thorn in his side because Prince Baiheng has a lot of capable men and strangers under his command because of his self-respect." Chen Ling withdrew his hand, and the female corpse's arm was slowly heavy again. Back to a stiff bluish white.

"Speaking of capable people and strange men, I think of one person. Back then, there were six envoys under Prince Baiheng's seat, and they only listened to Prince Baiheng's orders. Even Emperor Jinai didn't fully know the abilities of these people. "Wang Shanhai's thick eyebrows were huddled together, his eyes were bright with vigilance, and he looked at the peony flowers that were slowly disappearing, "The people under him in Anbu all have a unique mark on their bodies, but I never thought it would be like this of."

"Then is the death of this singing girl a pure murder case, or is it related to the previous court?"

No one could answer this question, and the cellar was silent for a while, only the crackling sound of the candles.

"There's no point in discussing this now, the most important thing is to catch the murderer." Ning Ze covered the white cloth meticulously, and the sudden sharpness in his eyes just now returned to nothingness and indifference.

"This is what I want to say today. We have been investigating for many days, but the clues we have obtained are extremely rare." Wang Shanhai took out the booklet he carried with him, picked up important things in front of the dim candlelight, and read, "The dead The woman, named Linglong, is an ordinary singing girl in Shui Xinjian. The old bustard bought her back three years ago. Because she is young and beautiful, and has a good voice, she sings beautifully, so she is very kind. Take care of her business. This time in Baiwei Pavilion, one of the wealthy businessmen who is quite generous has invited Linglong to go. The old bustard said that Linglong left alone that night, without even bringing the accompanying maids with her. "

"Is this Linglong always going out without a maid, or is it just this time that she didn't bring a maid with her?"

"Only this time is different from the past." Wang Shanhai said affirmatively.

Chen Ling chuckled, and there was a playful smile in Moist eyes, "As a dead waiter who has undergone rigorous training since childhood, how could he be so negligent, and suddenly leave a person who can tell that there is a ghost at a glance?" abnormal clues. There must be a reason for this.”

"How can you be sure that this is a loophole deliberately left by Linglong. No one has the ability to predict and know the date of his own death in advance." Wang Shanhai squinted his eyes and shook his head in disapproval, obviously disagreeing with Chen Ling. general subjective assumptions.

Chen Ling didn't argue, but asked in a warm voice, "Let me ask you, did this Linglong spend the night with this rich businessman only this time?"

"I have been in contact with this wealthy businessman before, the location is uncertain, and it may not be in Baiwei Pavilion." Wang Shanhai investigated very carefully. These days, he has inquired about Linglong's origin and what he does.

"That's it. Linglong met this wealthy businessman more than once. You also said that she never took the maid out this time. The reason for this is very suspicious." Chen Ling clapped his fan affirmatively, and turned his eyes back to Meng Looking at the female corpse covered in white cloth, she murmured: "She must know something, the murderer, she probably knows who it is, that's why she didn't take the maid beside her out that night."

Wang Shanhai frowned and said in disapproval: "You have never followed up with the investigation, so don't make such subjective assumptions."

Chen Ling still insisted on his own ideas, looked at Wang Shanhai and said sincerely: "Believe me, this Linglong must know what will happen that night, I don't believe that a dead waiter who can follow Prince Baiheng would commit a crime. I made such a careless mistake. Now I want to visit the place where Linglong stayed that night, and I hope Brother Wang will be lenient."

Wang Shanhai looked at Chen Ling's expression hesitantly. He should have refused, but he looked at the determined expression on his face, and he also held some expectations in his heart that a dead horse would be treated as a living horse doctor, and nodded slowly, "I know. Your noble status is not something that ordinary petty officials like me can compete with, but I still beg you, my lord, don't make it difficult for me to wait."

Chen Ling nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I just want to find out, and I won't make it difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shanhai took Chen Ling and others to Baiwei Pavilion, and Ning Ze followed him for some reason.

Baiwei Pavilion is still the same, with energetic young men guarding in front of the door, people coming and going, cars and horses buzzing, not affected by the murder at all.Seeing that the official messenger came, he didn't show anything unusual, he just glanced at it lightly and then pushed it away.

"The people of Yuzhou City really don't change their faces when Mount Tai collapses. If such a thing happened in other places, I'm afraid they would close their doors early to thank customers, and wait for the limelight to pass before doing business." Chen Ling admired Shaking his head, the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses, after all, is because the death is just a lowly and unworthy singing girl, just like the death of a casual thing.The heart is cold and thin, which can be seen.

Seeing Chen Ling coming, the young servant who led Chen Ling's way last time had his eyes brightened, and he stepped forward with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Young master has never come to Baiwei Pavilion since he left four days ago. This time, young master is here. But if you have to taste the good wine and food of Baiwei Pavilion, it will not waste the ability of Baiwei Pavilion."

"It's a good material that can talk, and your shopkeeper has a good vision." Chen Ling smiled and praised, and was rejected by Chen Ling when the boy was about to lead him to the old place, "I'm here this time because I have business to do , do you know where the yard where the murder happened is, just lead us there."

Hearing such an unlucky request, there was no panic on the boy's face, he still respectfully accepted orders with a smile, and led Chen Ling and his party to the place in a short time.

The yard during the day looks a little less quiet than at night, but more comfortable and leisurely.A few small silver bells hung with red ribbons were tied to the dry and thin branches of the green plums in the courtyard, ringing in the wind blown by the sleeves that Chen Ling raised as he passed by.

The blood-stained ground was darkened by the wind, floating on the bluestone bricks, like the unwilling bloody eyes of the dead.The broken parts in the attic are still mottled, but it is a bit clearer when viewed under the sunlight.

Chen Ling pointed a soft branch on his toes, like a white bird with soft feathers, it landed on the small building gracefully and lightly, and dragged his lake-blue robe on the ground, blooming a blooming flower .Wang Qi followed behind, carefully avoiding Chen Ling's robe dragging on the ground, and when he glanced at the things Chen Ling was holding, his eyes shrank suddenly.

What Chen Ling held in his hand was a fragment found at the corner of the small building. It was green and shining brightly.Looking towards the sun, you can still see the looming streamlines above.

"What is this thing? It looks like it should be a precious thing. When I came yesterday, I didn't find this thing." Wang Shanhai took the thing in Chen Ling's palm, frowning suspiciously.

"About someone came here last night. If I'm not mistaken, this thing is only used by people in Hongzhou." Chen Ling fiddled with the thing in Wang Shanhai's palm, "I've seen people from Hongzhou come here. People in Hongzhou, they all carry one of these things on their bodies, this is for men in Hongzhou to hold wine. Men in Hongzhou like wine to such an extent that they have to bring one when they go in and out.”

This is what the master told him when he went out with the master.He still remembers the flash of coldness in his blue eyes when his master talked about Hongzhou.

"This flagon still has dark lines looming, presumably the owner is either rich or noble." Chen Ling mischievously smiled, pointy little canine teeth pointing on the bright red lips, "It's not certain, it was stolen. The drunk man saw that the jug was pretty, so he stole it and had a drink here."

Wang Shanhai waved his hands helplessly, his brows were almost squeezed together, "Young master, stop joking, I am really one head bigger than two now, and this matter is getting more and more complicated. The former prince was involved, and now I am risking my life again." An unidentified Hongzhou native came out and stayed at the scene..." Wang Shanhai scratched the green stubble on his chin in distress, "No matter what the reason for this incident, it is impossible to be good. I'll go back and report to the Lord of the State Government, within three days, the Lord of the Criminal Department of Shengjing should come."

"Don't worry too much. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. There is no need to rush this matter. Calm down, maybe you can figure out something and sort out the clues." Chen Ling patted his shoulder comfortingly, After all, I am not a person involved in it, and I can't understand the bitterness of it, so I can only say a few words of comfort.

"Other places are the same as that night. There is no change. My lord should look for these few days. Who are the Hongzhou people in Yuzhou City? Just ask secretly. This thing is not something that ordinary people can afford. Although some people are excluded, it is still necessary to investigate, but it is much better than searching aimlessly."

Wang Shanhai rubbed his blue and black eyes, and said wearily: "This is the only way to go now."
