Chapter 118 Flaws
After killing the two, Feng Jiang took off his robe and changed it with the robe of a bodyguard of the Tian family who died on the ground.

This man was similar in stature to Bao Yatzer.

Then Feng Jiang threw the corpses of this person, the fourth child, the eleventh and Tian Duanming, and their respective swords into a thatched hut not far away. scabbard, and set it on fire.

When the fire broke out, Feng Jiang immediately sneaked back to Yihe Town, took the scabbard he had hidden, and took a robe that was hanging outside.

The fighting in the town gradually subsided, and Feng Jiang knew that both sides were rushing towards the fire outside the town.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Jiang left Yihe Town immediately.

He did not immediately head west to Chang'an, but headed east toward Luoyang.

After traveling for nearly a hundred miles, he turned to the north, and the same hundred miles to the north. After confirming that no one was following him, he turned west and set foot on the way back to Chang'an.

Along the way, Feng Jiang carefully recalled what happened to him before.

It cannot be said to be perfect, and it can even be said that the details are slightly rough.

But this kind of thing is not that your plan is perfect, and the result is also perfect.

Actions often lead to change.

The fire is raging, but it can't destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces.

Of course, Feng Jiang didn't think about completely destroying the body and leaving traces, so that they would think that Bao Yace and the other party's men died together.

If Bao Yace disappeared for no reason, it would definitely attract the forces behind the gang to track him down, and it was hard to guarantee that he would find any traces on him.

Feng Jiang believed that there were no traces related to him, but he had to be cautious.

There are still many flaws in this matter, not about myself, but the incident itself is somewhat unreasonable.

How did Bao Yace and Tian Duanming burn to death in the thatched hut?

The three of them are extremely masters, it is impossible not to escape.

The only explanation is that they were already dead before the fire started.

So who killed them?
It stands to reason that it must be Tian's expert guard, but Tian Duanming is also dead.

If you die, you die, and they were also put here and burned together. From this point of view, it is unlikely that it was done by Tian's guards.

Feng Jiang believed that this incident was enough to cause headaches for the Tian family and the forces behind the Jiming Mountain robbers, so he let them guess and investigate.

It is enough to believe that they will not link this matter with the Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to leave traces of some things, but it can confuse the public and affect the direction of their investigation.

A day later, Feng Jiang returned to Chang'an City. It was Haishi, around ten o'clock in the evening, and the city had already had a curfew.

From leaving Chang'an City to returning, Feng Jiang spent about five days on this trip.

After returning to the palace, Feng Jiang immediately came to find Chu Xiuhui.

"How is it?" Chu Xiuhui met Feng Jiang in the study with a nervous face and asked expectantly.

Seeing Feng Jiang nodded, Chu Xiuhui was still not at ease: "Dead?"

"Dead." Feng Jiang replied.

After getting an affirmative answer, Chu Xiuhui let out a long breath.

"Let's wait for the news." Chu Xiuhui brushed her temple hair with her right hand, and regained her usual composure. "You can go to the Sheriff's Mansion to inquire about the news. No, it's better not to move."

"What the princess said is that this matter has nothing to do with us, and it might be bad for us to inquire." Feng Jiang nodded.

If you care too much, it will arouse the suspicion of others, and it is better to be quiet than to move.

"Tell me, how did you do it?" Chu Xiuhui's eyes lighted up slightly, curious in her heart.

She wanted to know how Feng Jiang killed Tian Duanming.

Feng Jiang didn't hide anything from her, and told the situation at that time, even the details.

In fact, Feng Jiang also wanted to see if Chu Xiuhui could find any flaws in it.

I think it's okay, but it doesn't mean that I won't be exposed. There is nothing foolproof in the world.

After listening, Chu Xiuhui pondered for a while.

"There is a flaw." Chu Xiuhui frowned slightly, "Although you replaced Bao Yace with someone, you are not the same person after all. Even if you are similar in stature, there will always be some differences. Of course, your use of fire is a clever move, even if they have I suspect that it is not so easy to be sure. And the imitation knife, I hope that under the fire, it will be completely different, so that the difference between the imitation knives will not be visible."

"I didn't think carefully. I shouldn't have thrown away Bao Yace's imitation knife and his body. I should have saved it and used it when setting fire. These loopholes would have disappeared." Feng Jiang sighed.

"Who can predict what will happen next?" Chu Xiuhui shook her head and said, "Besides, if you kept those before, wouldn't it increase the possibility of exposure? I don't think they are thinking about whether Bao Yace is the real person."

"Oh? What does the princess think?" Feng Jiang asked.

"The Tian family will definitely investigate the behind-the-scenes forces of the Jiming Mountain bandits. In fact, we should be able to guess who the behind-the-scenes forces are."

Feng Jiang's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't make a sound.

"That's right, it's probably my aunt." Chu Xiuhui said, "Apart from her, who else would attack Tian's people? Who would dare? Although I don't know her purpose yet, this Who else could it be if it wasn't her?"

Chu Xiuhui really still couldn't figure out her aunt's intentions.

It stands to reason that she agreed with the marriage offer, so it is unreasonable for her to target Tian Duanming again.

But when it comes to the open and covert confrontation between the two major forces, she can't know more.

"Princess, do you mean that no matter who kills Tian Duanming, the Tian family will target the eldest princess?" Feng Jiang asked.

"What do you think?" Chu Xiuhui asked back, but before Feng Jiang could answer, she continued, "The Tian family will definitely make a big fuss about Tian Duanming's death. Originally, my aunt just wanted to detain Tian Duanming. Now that Tian Duanming is dead, I don't know if there will be big trouble."

"I don't think so. Since the eldest princess decided to do this, she must have considered all kinds of accidents, and I believe everything is under her control." Feng Jiang said.

"That's right, that aunt of mine is a remarkable person." Chu Xiuhui said with a slight smile.

Feng Jiang didn't answer anymore. Chu Xiuhui's words seemed to be praising Princess Ningping, but to Feng Jiang's ears, there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm.

If there was no marriage, Feng Jiang felt that Chu Xiuhui's words should be sincere admiration, but now it is different.

"Go back and have a good rest. You've worked hard these past few days. It's useless to think about it now. Who knows if it's like what we guessed. I believe that there will be news from the Sheriff's Mansion in two days, and we will know when the time comes." .” Chu Xiuhui didn’t say much about her aunt.

Feng Jiang stood up and resigned.

After leaving Chu Xiuhui's study, Feng Jiang prepared to return to his residence.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking towards Chu Xiuhui's study.

It is definitely not someone from the palace, Feng Jiang can confirm this.

Being able to avoid the personal guards of the palace, his strength is not weak, Feng Jiang immediately restrained his breath, turned and followed.
