Chi Linjing first walked to Fu Yongzhong's body and looked down at the wound on his chest. It was indeed injured by a sharp blade, but it didn't look like a simple knife or sword. It looked more like a knife on one side and a sword on the back. Weapons, a little clarity gradually appeared in his eyes, but a frown appeared on his face. Taking another step forward, he saw some golden powder faintly in Fu Yongzhong's hanging palm. Somehow, his first reaction was to think of Wu Huancuo. This man's robe is made of golden-pink cloth mixed with some fragrant powder.

But remembering that Wen Ting'er had just killed him neatly, he couldn't help but frown deeper.

Yin Luo held the corner of the remaining rice paper in his hand and walked towards the bed, "Killed by what?"

"The sword is unknown." Chi Linjing shook his head.

"Unknown?" Yin Luo glanced up and down Fu Yongzhong's body. He was about the same age as Huang Chan. He was already seventy years old. He was wearing a brown robe made of Ming'an material. He had a long beard and sparse and soft eyebrows. , his eyes were closed but there were lines on his brows, as if he had frowned before he died, his mouth was half open and half closed, and he seemed to have unfinished words.

The scar on his chest was very deep, running through the entire chest. The person who killed him used enough force and his attack was crisp and clear. He definitely came here specifically to kill him.

After the supervisory military envoy talked with Wu Zuo, he decided to conduct an autopsy.

Just at this moment, a person outside the house hurriedly ran in. The sound of heavy breathing reached Yin Luo's ears. She turned her head and looked at the person——

"Where is my adoptive father?!"

The visitor was wearing a lake blue robe and looked anxious. He turned left and ran to the couch. He was obviously startled when he saw the two strangers, Yin Luo and Chi Linjing. However, he saw that the supervisory envoy was also there, so I knew in my heart that they were not intruders, so I didn't pay much attention.

He sat beside the bed and tried to touch Fu Yongzhong's body with trembling hands.

Yin Luo took a step back and looked at Chi Linjing. The two of them guessed the identity of the person almost at the same time.

The supervisory army envoy raised his hands towards the man in lake blue robes and called: "City Lord." The voice was a little weak, as if he didn't have enough confidence to protect Fu Yongzhong.

Zheng Bin had no time to talk to him. He just saw Fu Yongzhong, who had dined with him two days ago, losing his breath. He couldn't help but burst into tears and asked: "Inspector Zhang, who killed my adoptive father? Do you have any clues?"

"Reporting to the city lord, when General Manager Fu was assassinated, his subordinates were responsible for tracking down the stolen property of other people in the city. Therefore, they were not in the palace and did not see the assassin with their own eyes." Inspector Zhang lowered his eyebrows guiltily and paused. He added in a moment: "But I heard from the first servant in the house who discovered that Mr. Fu had been assassinated that there was a fragrance inside the house when the door was first opened."

Zheng Bin quickly stood up and asked, "What kind of fragrance is it?"

Inspector Zhang frowned and thought for a moment, "This... subordinates didn't smell it, so I don't know how to describe it."

Zheng Bin was obviously disappointed. He threw off his long sleeves, sat down on the bed again, looked at Fu Yongzhong's body carefully, and then ordered Inspector Zhang: "Call over the servant who first discovered the assassination of my foster father. Seal the gates of Pingdu City, only allowed to enter, not allowed to go out!"

The supervisory army envoy bowed his head and went down to do so.

Yin Luo naturally followed the supervisory envoy who left, but was stopped by Zheng Bin. "This girl, isn't she from Pingdu? Are you coming to Ping to participate in the martial arts sword competition? Why do you appear here?" The man in lake blue robes had an elegant face and looked at Yin Luo, with a look in his narrow eyebrows. Many inquiries.After he asked Yin Luo, he looked at Chi Linjing, "What is the identity of this young master? Can he write his name in the record book when he enters the city?"

The supervisory envoy who had stepped halfway across the threshold quickly turned around and explained to the two of them first: "City Lord, these two guests have the East China Sea King's Order in their hands. They have been in the city for more than two days, and they are recorded in the roster of people entering the city." I don't know if he acted like this because he was afraid of the king's order in their hands, or because he was afraid that Zheng Bin would blame him for bringing Yin Luo and Chi Linjing into the general manager's house.

Zheng Bin frowned slightly after hearing the term "East China Sea King's Order". The young city lord's thoughts were churning in his mind. He had been the lord of Pingdu City for many years. Although he called Fu Yongzhong a foster father, he was not actually related to him. Fu Yongzhong was generally loyal to Emperor Chongwen.From this, he had a good understanding of the people under King Yuanjin who carried out the king's orders.But he had no impression of the girl in red and the man in green. Therefore, either the royal order in the hands of these two people was fake and they tricked the supervisor into sneaking in, or the two people in front of him were... Donghai has a very high status and belongs to the category of confidential personnel that Zheng Bin will not know about.

Seeing the girl in red frowning slightly, an impatient look overflowing from her eyes, while the young man in green robe still looked calm and calm, not even looking at Zheng Bin. Facing Zheng Bin's direct questioning, neither of these two people showed any signs of indifference. Confused.

I heard that beside King Yuanjin of the East China Sea, there was a very handsome young master named Meng Zaishi, and a beautiful wife named Kang Youkui. The two had a very good relationship and often traveled together. Could it be that they were these two?
The expression on Zheng Bin's face changed, and Yin Luo answered him: "City Lord Zheng is right. We are indeed here to participate in the martial arts sword competition, but we also have important news to tell Mr. Fu personally. We just heard the supervisory military envoy in front of the inn. To report the news of Mr. Fu's assassination, I followed him in a hurry, but unexpectedly..."

"That's it." Zheng Bin nodded, only paused for a moment, and then said: "I wonder what news you two want to tell me about my adoptive father? Unfortunately, my adoptive father passed away in the west. If there is anything important, I will handle it for him. .”

Chi Linjing's expression suddenly became subtle when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and then raised them, and asked directly: "City Lord of Pingdu, can you obey the king's orders?"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Bin also realized that there was something wrong with what he just said, and he was already covering up when he spoke again: "That's not what I meant, it's just that my adoptive father is dead now, and there are many things in his hands that I haven't had time to take over. If you two have something important, talk to me now, and I can start taking care of it, which will save you both time and trouble."

Yin Luo smiled at him, "I'm sorry that City Lord Zheng is so considerate to us despite his busy schedule, but we must tell Mr. Fu personally about this important matter. Since Mr. Fu has passed away now, we will leave." She smiled slightly at Zheng Bin Holding his fists, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Chi Linjing followed her slowly.

Zheng Bin did not stop him, but looked at the backs of the two people and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sat back down next to Fu Yongzhong's body, but reached out and rummaged for something on Fu Yongzhong's waist. Repeated searches made him mess up Fu Yongzhong's body. clothes, "Where's the key?"

Trial Sword Inn, fourth floor.

Hongyinghou stood by the railing of the large turn corridor with his arms crossed, looking down at the new people entering the inn. The purple and gold lion lay lazily beside him, licking its paws from time to time, and occasionally feeling sleepy while whimpering.

Suddenly, a vermilion figure stepped into the inn lobby, and Wan Ruotan's dazed eyes suddenly lit up. However, the next second, he saw the green-robed young man also walking in from outside the inn. The red-clothed girl turned to look at him, and specifically Stopped and waited.

"Is it necessary to walk so slowly? There are no injuries on your legs." Wan Ruotan rolled his eyes, extinguishing the light in his eyes and putting on a scornful expression.

The Purple Gold Lion opened his mouth and yawned, looking even sleepier.
