Huangfu Nan went to the Great Buddha Temple with Li Shi to offer incense that day, and accidentally ruined Jiang Zhongxing's affairs on the way back, and it was Li Shi who moved Bao Zheng out to settle the matter.

What Jiang Zhongxing said on the scene was pleasant, and he told Grand Master Pang about the matter later, and Grand Master Pang used that matter to refer to Bao Zheng's book in front of Emperor Renzong. A trivial matter was exaggerated into a major event that the country would perish in the past. Emperor Renzong had no choice but to verbally reprimand Bao Zheng, and asked him to atone for his crimes and thoroughly investigate the case.

Huangfu Nan, who had just returned to Kaifeng mansion after vacation, learned that Bao Zheng had been included in a book because of her affairs, not to mention how depressed he was, and at the moment was breathing in the long corridor outside the house.

It was only early summer when they went south, but now it is early winter when they come back.

The slightly cold air outside made her head clearer, but the depression in her heart still lingered.She put her hands on the railing, lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhan Zhao, who was coming back from outside, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw her.

"Why are you here alone?" Zhan Zhao slowed down, walked over, and stopped beside her.

Huangfu Nan raised his eyes, "I'm thinking about what happened that day."

Anyone who listened to a sentence without a beginning or an end would probably be confused, but Zhan Zhao understood it strangely.He looked at the depressed girl in front of him, and wanted to rub her little head with his hand, but he moved his fingers and held back.

He was worried that he would be regarded as a disciple.

Zhan Zhao put the saber in his hand on the railing, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, it's not your fault. Grand Master Pang has a deep grudge with your lord, even if it wasn't because of your incident that day, he would try his best to find your lord." trouble."

Sigh, since Guard Zhan came back from Jiangnan and his party, he has become the most unbiased guard in the history of Kaifeng Mansion.For anything related to Huangfu Nan, he could find ten or eight reasons to say that it was not her fault.

Zhan Weiwei felt very helpless about his mentality. Sometimes he couldn't help but ask himself: Am I planning to help dig a hole for her to throw her body even if she kills someone?But then I thought again: Forget it, this is the only time in this life, even if she really killed someone, I will help dig a hole.

It's really nothing to kill someone to help dig a pit and dump the body. What's the matter is that up to now, Zhan Huwei has not felt that this girl has the same thoughts for him.

Zhan Wei felt very uncomfortable. He had never had such a good impression on a girl before. Suddenly, a bucket of water called human love was poured on his head. He didn't know what to do, so he just I can laugh at myself and think: I must have owed her a lot of money in my previous life.

Therefore, Zhan Huwei, who owed a lot of debts in his previous life, said: "Huangfu, instead of thinking about these things here, why don't you come with me to find Gongsun, we have work to do again."

Huangfu Nan looked at him, "Is it about the noble case?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "I've gone and brought back the relevant brochures."

Huangfu Nan thought of the black-clothed boy that day, and thought deeply, "Those high-ranking officials who died, could it really be the group of young people who were going to assassinate Jiang Zhongxing that day?"

Zhan Zhao picked up his saber that was resting on the railing, turned around and walked in first, "I don't know, go and have a look first and then make a judgment."

In the corner of Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng is leading the crowd to discuss the case handed over to them.

The place Gongsun Ce made was full of pamphlets, and he held a pamphlet in his hand, and said to everyone: "In the past six months, four high-ranking officials and dignitaries were killed. The famous Fengyue Land in the city was killed."

Opposite them, there is a large blackboard with portraits of several nobles who were killed recently.This method was thought up by Huang Funan when he was hunting down the eye-gouging killer in Hangzhou.She said that this is not only convenient for analyzing the case, but also allows everyone to have a more intuitive impression of the existing findings and clues. On the side of the heads of several victims, there is a map of Kaifeng Mansion posted on the map. Where the murdered were found.

Zhan Zhao rested one hand on the armrest of the chair, looked at the portraits on the blackboard, and analyzed: "These people are not of the same age, some are in the weak years, and some are past forty years. But they were all killed at night. , and was found dead in the early morning of the next day."

Gongsun Ce nodded, then walked to the blackboard, pointed to the places where their bodies were found, and said, "These places are places where people come and go, and no one will pay attention to whoever comes and goes. The murderer is very smart. He It should be that after the murder, he changed his attire and walked out swaggeringly."

Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, listened to the analysis of the two, and said: "Jiang Zhongxing, Mr. Jiang thinks that these people were done by the young man who assassinated him that day."

"No, it's not them." Huangfu Nan said.

Bao Zheng looked at her: "Why?"

Huangfu Nan: "These people were all killed at night and their bodies were found the next day. The murderer was able to lead these people to an inn or a romantic place, which shows that even if they didn't know each other, the victims were defenseless against the murderer Heart. If those youths that day were really the murderers, they would not have assassinated Jiang Zhongxing in broad daylight." Huangfu Nan suddenly became a little angry, "Then Jiang Zhongxing clearly did something wrong on his own. He just recruited a few teenagers to assassinate him. He is good, without evidence, he said that those teenagers were the ones who killed these high-ranking officials, and he still wants to go to Grand Master Pang to sue!"

Everyone: "..."

After all, this girl is still brooding over Grand Master Pang's participation in Mr. Bao.

Bao Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he quickly brought back the topic that was about to digress: "Huangfu, is this all done by one person?"

Huangfu Nan shook his head, "No, although the places where they were murdered have some similarities, I think there is more than one murderer."

"Do they have companions?" Bao Zheng asked.

Huangfu Nan nodded and said: "The murderers are not of the same age, some are old and some are young, and not all of them are good-looking."

Zhan Zhao: "This only shows that the murderer has no preference for the age and appearance of the victim."

Huangfu Nan: "The modus operandi is also different. The first one was strangled to death with a belt, the second was stabbed to death, the third was poisoned to death, and the fourth was smothered to death in his sleep. If the same person Because, there is only one possibility."

Gongsun Ce: "What possibility?"

Huangfu Nan looked sideways at Gongsun Ce, and said with a smile, "This murderer is like Feng Junxi, he can change several times in a day."

Gongsun Ce said blankly, "Are you kidding me?"

Seeing Gongsun Ce's speechless expression, Huangfu Nan couldn't help but chuckled.To be honest, for a long time after Gongsun Ce was seriously injured, Huangfu Nan felt a little guilty towards him, because if he hadn't been overconfident at the time and guessed wrong about Qian Yan's actions, probably Gongsun Ce would not have been injured.Fortunately, this person survived the catastrophe, and he can still talk to them here alive and well.

Zhan Zhao watched the two of them back and forth, and could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Huangfu Nan cleared her throat and said, "There are no wonders in the world. In fact, if the murderer can change several times a day, it is impossible." When she was studying in the United States, she once saw a case of mental illness, where a person could split into two There are two football teams, there are good and bad personalities, men and women, and of course the majority are bad people. The multiple personality patient killed dozens of people in his life, and each of them died in a different way.

Bao Zheng said seriously: "Not everyone in the world is like Feng Junxi."

Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement, and then said: "Although the murderers are different people, one thing is for sure, these murderers know each other." After a pause, Zhan Zhao added: "And they all hate These dignitaries."

"The murderer's background is not prominent, maybe even from the humblest family. They should have suffered some unbearable treatment among these high-ranking officials, so they behaved like this." Huangfu Nan took Zhan Zhao's words, Speak out your opinion, "And I want to know whether the deceased had any friendship in private."

Bao Zheng stroked the beard under his chin, and said in a deep voice: "The two older dead are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, both of whom are under the influence of Grand Master Pang in the court. As for the two younger ones, they are after the ministers of the court. Heard of it, but never seen it."

Of the two young people, one is the second son of a third-rank official in the current dynasty, and the other is the younger uncle of Uncle Guo. I heard that these two officials are the targets that Grand Master Pang wants to win over.

Gongsun Ce: "I once heard that Jiang Zhongxing is Pang Taishi's favorite student. He is well-rounded and knows how to do what he likes. Many of Pang Taishi's influences are made by him as a lobbyist."

Bao Zheng nodded, "This is true."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment, "I think these cases should have something to do with Jiang Zhongxing's assassination." Whether it is related or not, we still have to find out.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Huangfu Nan suddenly remembered the look that boy looked back at her that day. In fact, the boy's eyes were fine, but Huangfu Nan thought that boy's eyes were unbelievably beautiful.

Just when Huangfu Nan was in a daze, Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "Although we have clues at hand, they are too scattered and we can't be sure who the murderer is. These dignitaries are all glamorous , even if they are killed, the family members will take their names into consideration and will not say much.”

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he immediately understood: "I'll immediately look up their biographies to see if they have any unknown hobbies."

Huangfu Nan nodded in agreement, then looked at Bao Zheng, "Brother Yi, can I come along?"

Mr. Bao has seen all the behavior of Zhan Weiwei these days. As someone who has been there, Mr. Bao has seen that Zhan Weiwei really puts Huangfu on the top of his heart, and he is used to pampering him quietly, but Huangfu seems to have nothing to do with it. Unconsciously, the guards are still the same as before.Sighing, Mr. Bao thinks that Zhan Huwei probably went too smoothly in the past, so now a girl who doesn't understand love words comes to torment him.

As Huangfu Nan's elder brother, Bao Zheng felt very at ease with Zhan Zhao, and was also happy to push things along in some matters.

Facing Huangfu Nan's request, Bao Zheng nodded happily, "Of course!"
