Chapter 5

In the North Sea, the moon sets and the stars sink——

"What did you say? The King of the North Sea has left?" Bei Hechuan was a little surprised.

After all, the Beihai King's mansion is full of his spy, and the Beihai King escaped in full view.

"Maybe our actions have aroused suspicion..."

Bei Hechuan raised his sword, sat on the ground, and thrust the sword beside his subordinate, who was trembling all over.

"I said before, you only need to serve and clean like ordinary servants, why bother to forcibly investigate the secrets of the palace." Bei Hechuan stood up and walked towards the Lotus Terrace.

"By the way, Wen Shulin still looks half-dead?"

"Yes..." Before the words were finished, the subordinate added: "It's been a while since I didn't eat oil and rice."

"For a woman..." Bei Hechuan clenched his fists and slammed into the stone wall fiercely, "How long is he going to degenerate?!"

Bei Hechuan's hatred spread from the bottom of his heart, he just thought in a daze, someday that Luo Tao, who is always in trouble, will die without a place to bury him.

Yancheng, Gu Mansion——

Lu Chen has been in the Gu residence for some time.

Since Lu Chen is a spy sent by the imperial court, he must not startle the snake, so he lives in the home of his friend Gu Nian.

Yanbei Gu's family is a family that grew stronger due to business. Gu Nian is Gu Wei's younger uncle, and the owner of Gu's house is Gu Wei's father, Gu Qingjian. .

"Morning." Liang Shuang stretched her waist, her back hurt, so she wanted to go back to her room and lie down again.

"It's three poles in the sun, you've wasted the good time." Lu Chen was drinking tea in the yard while cleaning her town bagpipe.

Gu Wei was practicing his sword in the yard, and saw his eyes fall on Liang Shuang.Perhaps it was the desire to stand out, Gu Wei sang a sword song, and fell in front of Liang Shuang in one fell swoop.

Liang Shuang was very pleasantly surprised, the good apprentice improved so fast!

"Not bad!"

Gu Wei scratched his head: "I have never heard Master praise me! However, since it can make Master happy, I will practice for a while."

"Hey, wait," Liang Shuang held him back, mainly because he liked the long sword in his hand. After all, the scabbard is not often carved, "Where did your sword... come from?"

Gu Wei smiled, and mentioned a name indifferently.

"The sword she gave me when Youyou was rescued by Lady Luo, alas, I haven't seen her for several years..."

Luo heroine?Could it be... Luo Tao!
Oh my god, finally a clue.

Liang Shuang lowered her head in thought, she had been in for so long, and she didn't see any trace of the original heroine of the game, it really shouldn't be!
Besides, Ji Liangjing's handle should have been controlled by Luo Tao, but nothing happened? !
Liang Shuang uses Ji Liangjing's body, but still lives well in this world.

"Where have you seen her?" Liang Shuang's tone was a little anxious, and Lu Chen looked at her frequently, hesitating to speak.

"I saw it in the poplar forest, but that was three years ago."

three years ago?Xiangshu 16 years?The beginning of the game's original heroine Luo Tao's cultivation?
When Liang Shuang played the game "Liu Zi Jin Shu", the strategy was very clear.

In the first year, you must visit the values ​​​​of the fighting volume, and meet some important people by the way. In the second year, you will start the main storyline. In the third year, you will attack Han Yi and catch Ji Liangjing's handle...

However, Han Yi should have been captured by Liang Shuang now!
Liang Shuang felt that something was wrong, she wanted to go back to the Tianshan School, but just as she was about to leave, Lu Chen blocked her way.

"Don't stop me, I will attack you later! If I don't leave, my precious memory will be gone!"

Lu Chen was puzzled, but found her words quite interesting.

Lu Chen originally wanted to invite her to investigate the case together: "The prefect of Yancheng committed suicide and died."

Liang Shuang is now full of memories of the game plot, so when he heard Lu Chen say something about the game plot, Liang Shuang blurted out naturally.

"The prefect of Yancheng was framed, they just wanted to hide their ears..."

Before finishing speaking, Liang Shuang's tone gradually sank.

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth raised, and he smiled slightly: "How do you know?"

She knew that Lu Chen had tricked her: "I'm not an undercover agent, don't look at me!"

"how to prove?!"

Mad at her!Liang Shuang's head was full of confusion, thinking that if Han Yi was captured by Luo Tao, wouldn't she be finished?While thinking about why Lu Chen just didn't believe her? !
She leaned close to Lu Chen's ear and whispered, "Shen Wanyin, I'll tell you when I get back. Han Yi can't see Luo Tao. If they meet, I will be the next person to be tricked."

Lu Chen couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and lightly pinched Liang Shuang's ears: "You come with me, I won't let you get hurt."

"..."

The chicken talks with the duck.

"The person Han Yi married was Palace Master Ji, not you Liang Shuang, who cares so much about him."

"It's a matter of life and death for me."

When it came to life and death, Liang Shuang paused, right? !Isn't her goal death?Why did you work so hard all of a sudden?

Thinking about it carefully, she is living in this world now, and she is not playing a game, how can she be so crazy!If you can't roll it, the master will smash it!

"Okay, I won't go. I'll prove it to you! Where is the crime scene?"

Seeing the success of the plan, Lu Chen's expression turned calm, but his heart had already blossomed: "Let's go, Ah Liang."

"Ah Liang? You are good at choosing words and making words?!" After saying this, Liang Shuang picked the words fiercely.

Okay!I want to call you Ah Chen!The royal family's surname is Shen, so they are not really good people!Liang Shuang was indignant.

Gu Wei probed slowly: "Master, Sister Lu, take me with you?"

Lu Chen got up, she was a woman, wearing cross-collar, pink blouse and skirt, half ponytail in a high bun, she looked like a lady from a martial arts family.

She tapped on Gu Wei's head with the town bagpipe, and her voice to Gu Wei was softer than that to Liang Shuang: "Follow up, young master."

A large number of people had gathered on the cliff a hundred meters away from Yancheng, and the people were in panic, but they couldn't get an explanation from those officers and soldiers.

"Go away, go away!"

"There must be something strange about the prefect's death! Listen to what the girl said, my lord!" The woman knelt on the sandy ground, still crying, her back bent like a moon.

Liang Shuang poked his head, pointed at the woman and said, "Ah Chen, did you see that! That is the servant of the eunuch's family."

"Huh?" Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's just a servant? Not the wife of the prefect?"

Liang Shuang shook his head: "I'm sure, the prefect is not married, but has some kind of relationship with this woman."

"Huh? You know a lot."

The officers and soldiers originally wanted to settle the matter here, and then suppress the matter of the prefect, but the woman pressed her with her life and insisted on a thorough investigation.

Lu Chen made a guess: "She loves the prefect deeply?"

"Do not."

Gu Wei also pondered: "I see. It is obviously the best choice to suppress this matter, but the woman asked for a thorough investigation regardless of her reputation and life. She just wanted to find out who was behind it, so as to frame that person. "

Liang Shuang patted Gu Wei's head: "My apprentice is smart."

Lu Chen smiled contemptuously, seeing that Gu Wei was faster than himself in front of Liang Shuang, he was naturally very upset.

Holding the script in both hands, Liang naturally walked in the forefront. She knew the reason for this and the identity of the woman, so she just watched the play silently and did not plan to participate.

Lu Chen walked forward and helped the woman: "Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders."

Gu Wei also patted his chest: "And me!"

Liang Shuang was silent, just smiled: "Miss Gao, please get up."

Yancheng, Prefect's Mansion——

Liang Shuang comforted Gao Lianyu's mood, but Gao Lianyu became vigilant: "You said your surname is Liang, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Seeing this, Gu Wei smoothed things over for his master. After all, his master's identity cannot be exposed casually: "There are too many people who look alike in this world."

Lu Chen didn't have time to talk elegantly: "Tell me, what did you do on the eve of the eunuch's suicide? What did you find? Did anyone suspicious come in or out of the mansion?"

"Have!"

Speaking of this, Gao Lianyu raised her head and glanced at Lu Chen: "There is a man in pink... a man coming in and out."

While listening, Liang Shuang choked on a mouthful of hot tea.

"Are you sure it's...a man in pink, not a...woman?" Gu Wei also glanced at Lu Chen.

"Yes..." Gao Lianyu's voice gradually became low.

Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and asked Liang Shuang: "Ah Liang, what color clothes did I wear yesterday?"

Liang Shuang didn't speak at first, then glanced at Gao Lianyu who was trembling, and then glanced at Gu Wei who was deep in thought.

However, she stretched her waist: "Oh, I don't remember, sorry!"

Liang Shuang thought, this good show is really interesting, but the truth cannot be told now, otherwise it will not be fun.

She got up: "Gu Wei, Ah Chen, follow me."

Along the way, Gu Wei was a little worried: "Why don't you take Gao Lianyu with you?"

"A commoner who doesn't know how to do light work, what should I do next?"

However, Lu Chen was still thinking about what color clothes he wore last night.

Liang Shuang patted his head: "Don't think about it, you were wearing blue-gray yesterday! I don't understand, the contrast is so big, yesterday you wore dark colors, today you wear bright colors."

However, Liang Shuang thought about it, and fortunately the contrast was great, but if Lu Chen really wore pink yesterday, he would be blamed.

"Gao Lianyu didn't see exactly who sneaked into the mansion at all, but she saw the back, it was indeed a man, but she hesitated when she said the pink clothes, it only means that someone wanted her to say that."

Gu Wei seemed to understand: "Someone framed Sister Lu?"

"That's right!"

Liang Shuang turned his head.

"There is only one truth! Ah Chen, your identity has been exposed."

"I know." Lu Chen said quietly: "I think I've hidden it well enough."

Liang Shuang sighed, patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, and calmed her down: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you, no matter what, I won't put you in danger, don't worry!"

After listening, Lu Chen was so moved that her heart seemed to be in an upside-down struggle. She nodded, and the tearful expression in her eyes was very endearing.

Because the surrounding area was blocked by officers and soldiers, they had no choice but to use light skills to jump to the bottom of the cliff. As soon as they reached the bottom of the cliff, they saw the eunuch's body lying on the ground, looking quite tragic.

Lu Chen stroked the surrounding ground, then lowered his body to smell the surrounding smell: "The fishy smell, the smell of sand and stones, it seems that there is... the smell of medicine?"

Gu Wei also squatted down to observe the damage to the corpse. The eyelids of the corpse had been turned. If they hadn't been turned, his eyes should be open now.

"Master, Sister Lu, look, under what circumstances would a person commit suicide in despair? And with his eyes open?"

When Liang Shuang heard about suicide, she immediately became excited. What suicide?She is the best!

"Of course it's because I lost hope of being alive. I don't care about anyone, I don't care about things, and I feel that life is unnecessary." Liang Shuang thought for a while, "However, even if it is suicide, it is impossible to open your eyes. Because at least you won't panic before you die."

Lu Chen understood: "Those who want to commit suicide are willing to die, how can they keep their eyes open?"

Liang Shuang suddenly remembered: "You just said that you smelled the medicine?"

"Ah."

now it's right.

Consistent with the plot in the game, the prefect was thrown off the cliff after being drugged.

The court did not want to make things worse, so they sent troops to guard them, and buried the bodies on the spot when things eased.

Later, Luo Tao found the body, and reversed the case with Lu Chen, thus gaining some handles from the Jianghu family.

But now she, Liang Shuang, is at the scene!No, Liang Shuang thought to himself, he should hold this case in his own hands, saying that this matter cannot be laid to rest!After all, holding the cracking method of the game plot can't be wasted!
Lu Chen sniffed the smell of medicine again: "It's poison, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is. It seems that we don't have it in Daxiang."

Gu Wei's family is in business, so he naturally knows that many medicines in Yancheng are imported from other regions: "Some medicines are brought from the Western Regions, while others come from Dongying Sea and Beiyun Marsh. Everything is possible."

"Nanban, is it possible?" Lu Chen asked.

"People from Yancheng never go through Nanman for business, it's too wild."

"The poison is the Nanman's Gu poison." Lu Chen said.

Liang Shuang observed the corpse in surprise: "Yes, there are worms on the corpse."

Thinking of this, Liang Shuang panicked. The case of the prefect of Yancheng falling off the cliff was a panic created by the villains in the rivers and lakes. Their intention was to blame the court forces and get rid of them.

In the original game, this case corresponds to... It was originally arranged by Ji Liangjing, but Luo Tao overturned the case, but Han Yi has already been captured by Luo Tao, so Ji Liangjing was not rescued? !

suffered.

Where did the poisonous plot come from?What happened to this world?
Liang Shuang's mind was in a mess, obviously she should be the protagonist and villain in this case, now it's over, the murderer is someone else.

She looked nonchalant before because she knew that she had done nothing, so the case would definitely be closed, but now, everything has changed.

The Gu family is the largest merchant family in Yancheng, a place that can buy all the treasures in the world.

When Liang Shuang and his party returned to Gu's house, Gao Lianyu came to the door.

"Let me in, please tell me who killed the prefect! I want justice!"

Liang Shuang couldn't bear it, so she had to let Gao Lianyu in. When she came to the front of the hall, Gao Lianyu looked around, as if she had never seen the world, and carefully looked at the furnishings and vases in the house, with envious eyes.

"You are a loyal servant." Liang Shuang became suspicious of Gao Lianyu, "Tell me, why are you so loyal, and what are the benefits of taking the prefect? ​​Perhaps, I can give you what he can give."

Liang Shuang thought for a while, and now he finally didn't have to make big cakes. He had two big treasuries, and he also had an apprentice from a wealthy merchant. Money, isn't that easy to come by? !
Just as he was planning a plan, Gu Wei's little uncle, Gu Nian, suddenly barged in with a hearty laugh, which overshadowed the limelight of his sword-browed and star-eyed face.

"Look, how much are these Nanban bugs worth?"

Shocked, Liang Shuang slapped the table and got up: "Where did you get it?"

"We raised them in our backyard."

"Ah?" Lu Chen and Gu Wei were also shocked.

Outrageous!At the end of the investigation, it fell on the head of our own people.

 The king of the North Sea is Lu Chen! !You're laughing so hard, now you're cheating your own people!
