Chapter 127 The dagger was given (Second update, please vote)
Princess Yongping came out of the garden, looked at Xu Yin going out in gorgeous clothes, and asked, "Where are you going, master?"

The subordinate said: "General Liang returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. I went to pick up General Liang."

A layer of frost suddenly appeared in Yongping's eyes: "It's the Liang family again!"

The maid who replied glanced at her expression and agreed: "Yes, Miss Liang Gu has been dead for six years, when will this bond be severed?
"Everyone knows that the master is a man who values ​​love and justice, so naturally he cannot do anything to alienate the Liang family.

"The Liang family should also know better and stop tying up the master with the little kindness he had in the past. Where does this involve the princess?"

Yong Ping took a few steps forward, looked at the door of the hospital and said, "He has been running to the Liang family all these years. How has the Liang family ever come to pull him away? This can only show that Liang Ning does have something special in his mind. Shaken position!”

The maid slapped the horse's leg flatteringly, and immediately lowered her head and did not dare to speak any more.

Yongping withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to the other side: "Go to the palace."

……

The banquet was held in the Liang family's courtyard inside the South City Gate. It was a courtyard with four entrances and a cross courtyard. Since there were not many people living there, most of the courtyard was used as a banquet hall and living room, as well as a garden of one size or another.

When Xu Yin arrived, Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili were already drinking tea in the garden building.As soon as he saw him, Cheng Zhili greeted him: "Your Excellency, the Minister, is indeed here. I also said that Shaoyuan had refuted your honor before, so he would definitely not come this time! But Shaoyuan said that you would definitely come, because your Excellency has a lot of people!" This is really true!”

Xu Yin sat down with a smile and looked at them: "Is it possible that there are just the three of us today?"

Liang Zhi said: "I would like to call out more people, but when I think about our group of people being rough men, and you are not familiar with them, I simply won't call out. How about being quiet, having a meal, chatting, and watching?" "

Xu Yin said: "Forget it for everyone else, why don't you shout for Minzhi? I made an agreement with him last time to have a good talk with him."

Liang Zhi glanced at Cheng Chili: "Then call Lao Wu. By the way, ask him to bring over their Huxiang cook. That cook is good at cooking spring water live fish."

Cheng Zhili nodded: "That's right. I heard that Mr. Xu's ancestral home is also from Tanzhou. It just suits your taste!"

……

When Pei Zhan received the invitation from Liang Zhi and others, he was on his way to the National History Museum to look for Gu Xiu.

The Ministry of Rites happened to go to the National History Museum to pick up classics today, and Gu Xiu had someone send a message to Pei Zhan early in the morning.

Since returning from Baihe Temple, Pei Zhan has been immersed in his own thoughts for the past two days. After hearing the invitation, he was silent for a while before agreeing.

When he arrived at the National History Museum, Gu Xiu greeted him at the door and handed him the record book that had been prepared aside:
"This thing is not allowed to be borrowed. General, just look at it here. I still have to lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites to collect the classics, so I won't accompany you."

Pei Zhan thanked him deeply and walked to a secluded corner to read through three large albums.

All the records recorded in the three books are the property that was paid tribute by Dayue Kingdom in the past.Pei Zhan jumped over the silk, satin, jewelry and jade and locked it on the weapon.

In order to compare the differences, each of these weapons was equipped with a pattern. Pei Zhan took out the dagger and searched for the totems on the dagger one by one.The royal family of Dayue Kingdom was named Duan. They were originally nomadic people in the north. Later, because they admired the culture of the Central Plains, they hired many Han Chinese teachers, so they adopted Han Chinese characters, clothing, and even the court system. The surnames that were originally long and cumbersome were changed into hundreds of Han surnames.

When the second book was almost finished, the totem on the dagger was suddenly listed!
The tributes it belongs to occupy as many as ten pages, and most of them are exquisite weapons!And the dagger in Pei Zhan’s hand is really one of them!
In other words, the dagger of the murderer who appeared on the streets of the capital was actually a tribute from the palace?
Pei Zhan frowned.

After pondering for a moment, he found Gu Xiu again with the recording book in hand.

"Can your lord Tai Tu clearly reveal the whereabouts of these tributes to this junior?"

All the tributes in these records were paid by Dayue Kingdom to the previous king.Everything in the palace, especially the offerings that went into the imperial treasury, even if they were as small as a pack of embroidery needles, had to be recorded.

So if these account books still exist, then there must be an answer to the whereabouts of the dagger!
Gu Xiu thought for a moment, walked around the three shelves, and pulled out a few books near the corner.

After wiping away the dust on the upper layer, he said: "These are all left in the imperial treasury. There should be what you are looking for."

Pei Zhan quickly thanked him.

Gu Xiu watched him search from the side, and said: "The totem you are looking for is the son of the cousin of the king of Dayue, and is their last generation of wing kings. In other words, they both belong to the same grandfather. .

"If I remember correctly, King Yi's name is Duan Huan. He is a very talented person, but it's a pity that he is too immersed in romance and has no ability to govern.

"Back then, his grandfather originally wanted to make him the grandson of the emperor, but unfortunately he was not as resourceful as his cousin. Even if he could win over the emperor of the Central Plains, he failed to succeed. Later, he died tragically in the struggle for imperial power, and the throne eventually fell into the hands of his cousin.

"I have seen several paintings he painted by his own hands. They are indeed of profound skill. They are still in circulation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are still rare items on the market."

Pei Zhan stared at one of the pages, and then raised his head: "It is recorded here that all the weapons paid tribute by Prince Yi's Mansion were rewarded. The junior counted the weapons and found that there were thirteen weapons in total and nine people were rewarded.

"Does Master know the fate of these nine people?"

Naturally, all the nine people who were rewarded with the Thirteen Weapons were officials from the previous court, not unknown people.If you want to look for them, you can definitely find them, but I don’t know if they have survived the change of dynasties.

Gu Xiu took the book and looked at it for a few times, then he picked up a pen and wrote two names on the white paper next to it: "These are the two historians in the palace of the previous dynasty, who are now used as officials in our dynasty. No one can compare with them." Pay attention to your former colleagues, and no one will be more familiar with them than them. No matter what the ending is for the person you are looking for, they will definitely know it!"

Pei Zhan took the note and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Master!"

It would be easy to find clues!

The name of the dagger is recorded in the book, which is "Hanquan".The Hanquan Dagger was given to a military officer named Shen Yi by the previous emperor. None of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou and Manchu dynasties had this name, which shows that this Shen Yi has been drowned in the sea of ​​people, or has had another ending.

As an official of the previous dynasty, it is not too strange that he has some power to secretly kill people.

So, could the murderer who committed murder in Baiyu Hutong be the man named Shen?
