Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 406 Feels Like a Coincidence
King Yan and his party are the capital masters who returned from the fourth watch, and Shen Ruopu was also invited to the palace at the same time.

Huo Jiu returned to the palace after sending Shen Yan back to the Shen family.

When Shen Xi heard that everyone who was supposed to return had returned, he was relieved, and sent someone to present the bird's nest to Shen Yan, so he started talking here.

On the Wangfu's side, Huo Jiu first reported the situation on the pier, and then said: "According to the current indications, the nineteen people were probably silenced. Because the pier was blocked, they couldn't escape at all.

"However, where the killers are hiding and how they got it is very puzzling. But according to the current situation, apart from being hidden among the canal workers, they should be in the villages on both sides of the river.

"I have ordered people to block the river section, and there should be news within three days."

Here Xiao Huai also finished talking about the matter in the camp, then looked at Shen Ruopu and said: "The assassins in the camp left three survivors, but they haven't given any useful information yet.

"But judging from their behavior of flying moths into the flame, it doesn't look like what Han Dun did. He wouldn't jump the wall in such a hurry."

Shen Ruopu is a veteran official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so his opinion is naturally important.

He frowned and thought for a while, and said to King Yan: "Earlier, Sister Xi sent someone to find out the news, and he didn't find anything unusual about Han Dun in the past few days.

"And if this matter was really premeditated a few months ago, it cannot be said that it was him.

"At least if he has this kind of ambush, then he won't do anything about Cuihu again, but should keep silent during this time."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Xiao Huai again and said: "There is one more thing that is strange, if the other party wants to attack the palace, then it should attack the prince and the prince at the same time.

"And the son has no one to target tonight, which is obviously unreasonable.

"According to Lord Huo, the other party has been staring at him for several months, so is the real target of the other party Lord He Lan and Lord Huo?"

As soon as he said that, the room fell silent.

After a long time, He Lanzhun said: "But Huo Jiu and I have no enemies."

Shen Ruopu was only speculating without any evidence, so he turned his attention to King Yan.

King Yan sat in silence for a while, then got up on his knees and said, "Let's do this first. Huo Jiu brought those three people back, and we will have a good interrogation with Mr. Shen Ge tomorrow."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Ruopu, and said again: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sit down."

Shen Ruopu nodded.

Here I asked about the injuries of the two people, and they were all just flesh wounds, so they disappeared.

Naturally, Shen Xi also asked about Shen Yan's affairs on the pier, and he had some calculations in his heart.

Hearing Shen Yan mention how careful and neat Huo Jiu was when examining the corpse, and how mighty he was on the boat, she couldn't help saying: "Huo Jiu is naturally capable.

"But you've been following him for half the night, aren't you afraid of him?"

Shen Yan was dumbfounded.

The last time he saw Huo Jiu being tortured, he was still afraid, but tonight she was not afraid except for being in awe from the beginning to the end...

After such a hectic night, it was the next day.

Although everyone in the palace tried to keep a low profile on the matter, the matter still spread in the morning court.

The little emperor immediately asked Yan Wang and his son, and ordered Yan Qin to solve the case quickly.

Han Dun received a lot of looks of unknown meaning, he just frowned, and didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.

Only Liang Xiu sneered, because after this incident happened, he was less stressed when he was in dire straits.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because the pressure on him was reduced, and the attention of the court was focused on the case of the attack on the people in the palace, and the beneficiary became him, so he got a lot more suspected.

However, after a while, people who were close to the military and health department were sent for interrogation one after another. Although he was not named, the meaning was obvious.

So he started yelling at Han Dun again in the mansion!

However, there are two schools of thought in the court and in the workshop.

One thinks that Liang Xiu failed to steal the chicken, and the other thinks that Liang Xiu would not do such an obvious thing.

The palace's reaction to this was flat.Except for the fact that the court was down that day, King Yan went to the Ministry of Punishments to sit down, and he still had to do what he should do for the rest of the day.Xiao Huai still didn't spend much time in the yamen.

After four or five days like this, at noon on this day, He Lanzhun, the head of the palace, and Huo Jiu, the prison supervisor, suddenly led the guards to escort a scarred man in black to Caishikou for execution.

The two heroes of the palace personally supervised the execution, and naturally there were many onlookers.

Some people in the crowd returned to their residences after watching the execution, and when they reported the prisoner's facial features, some people sighed softly: "I miscalculated him..."

Who is this miscalculated person is confusing.

Three days later, the second man in black was taken to the execution ground again.

Shen Xi couldn't help asking Xiao Huai: "Has the target been found out?"

Xiao Huai's eyes fell on the military newspaper, without raising his head, he said: "No."

"No?" Shen Xi couldn't believe it.Are there any prisoners in the world that Huo Jiu and Shen Ruopu could not interrogate together? !
"Slowly—" Xiao Huai looked at her helplessly, "Not everyone is afraid of death. Not all murderers know who they are working for."

Shen Xi looked at him with his chin resting on the table.

He was seen as helpless, so he had no choice but to let go of the book and said: "Although the murderer behind the scenes has not been found out, there is new news from the dock.

"The location where the nineteen murderers were killed has been locked. Sure enough, Huo Institute guessed right. They were killed when they fled downstream. There are weapons they left behind on the riverbed.

"In addition, the people who were sent to the shore to search have also returned news. There are some clues about them in the nearby shop selling North and South groceries. It is said that these people are all Yanjing Mandarin in Yishui.

"That is to say, they should always live in the capital.

"And judging from their well-trained attack methods, it is estimated that they are very likely to be raised dead soldiers."

Shen Xi was slightly startled: "Who would raise so many dead soldiers?! And it's been planned for several months?"

After deliberating for a while, Xiao Huai looked at her and said, "Slowly, you checked the affairs of Prince An, what did you find?"

When Shen Xi heard him mention this, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "Except for Wen Chan who killed me back then, there was someone else who was waiting to kill me, I suspect that this person is related to Prince An's youngest son and their humiliation!
"—Why, you suspect it's them?"

But she didn't tell him about this in detail, how could he know that there are these secrets in her death?

Xiao Huai didn't want to mention He Lanzhun to her, so he just said: "I just think it's a coincidence.

"Because the night of Prince An's humiliation happened 13 years ago, it happened overnight, and even the soldiers stationed nearby didn't notice it, which shows that they acted very cleverly.

"Moreover, the killers all speak with a Yanjing accent, and Prince An is the clan of the Qin Dynasty. He only manages the clan's mansion, and it is also in the capital that he wants to make enemies with others."

Shen Xi was silent for a while, then said: "But if this is the case, why did they attack the palace?"
