Chapter 86
Shang Shufu.

Mo Xuan listened to Huang Zhong explain the matter in a straightforward manner.

Two years ago, Liu Cheng came to him and gave him a large sum of gold to settle the funeral for him. Huang Shang Shuben had an eye for money, so he agreed without saying a word. A lot of things have been improved.

Some strong-tempered people refused to accept his consolation and wanted to sue, but Huang Zhong secretly got rid of them. He has always used both soft and hard methods, and kept everything about Liucheng to himself. He has no other ideas, just for money.

And this time the prince found him, Huang Zhong was also very surprised. The prince still used money as a lure to make Huang Zhong sacrifice a daughter, and he gritted his teeth afterwards. Huang Zhong is very greedy for life and afraid of death. This matter involves the prince. , if his life hadn't been threatened now, he would definitely not have spoken out.

Hearing this, Mo Xuan pursed his lips slightly, and said calmly.

"I can protect you from death, you just need to loosen your teeth and stop biting the wife of your national teacher."

Huang Zhong kowtowed again and again, Mo Xuan flicked his sleeves indifferently, and strode away.

One Huang Zhong was settled, and Liu Cheng was next.

That's right, the confession that belonged to Liu Cheng was false, and Mo Xuan only found out that the case had something to do with Liu Cheng. He used Huang Zhong's temper to force him to tell the truth, and it was easy to overthrow Huang Zhong. figure.

Mo Xuan hurried back to the National Teacher's Mansion, seeing Shen Hua sitting peacefully in the corridor of the National Teacher's Mansion, his heart was relieved, he walked up to Shen Hua, and said softly.

"Is it cold?"

Shen Hua was wrapped in a coat and didn't feel cold, she shook her head and asked.

"How's it going on your side?"

Mo Xuan didn't want her to worry about it at first, but seeing Shen Hua's insistence, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Huang Zhong is only following orders. All he cares about is life and money. The matter has to be investigated from Liu Cheng."

Shen drew it clearly, she continued.

"I haven't found anything here. The matter is only related to Dongfang Yi, but it is not certain that Dongfang Yi planned it. I think this case is not simple."

Mo Xuan frowned slightly when he heard the words, a figure of a person appeared in his mind, his eyes narrowed, is it him?
In the afternoon, when Mo Xuan was going to search for Liucheng, Shen Hua's stalking drug followed him. Mo Xuan had no choice but to take her with him. Although he was not at ease, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Shen Hua followed Mo Xuan with an open-eyed smile, and Mo Xuan felt warm in his heart.

Mo Xuan got the news that the time for committing crimes in Liucheng was stipulated. There were five crimes per month, one every six days. Shen Hua was holding the map in his hand, which was the general plan of Chang'an City.

She marked the homes of the women who had been victimized, and was surprised to find that if these dots were connected together, they would be two words. She gave the map to Mo Xuan, and Mo Xuan looked at Shen Hua's concatenation. Words, brows furrowed almost inaudibly.

"Liancheng."

Shen Hua read out the name gently, she looked at Mo Xuan and said.

"Is this supposed to be a personal name?"

Mo Xuan nodded, his tone was light.

"Feng Che, go and check all the people named Liancheng in Chang'an City."

Feng Che nodded, and Mo Xuan took Shen Hua back to the mansion. Since the matter had a new development, he was extremely unwilling to take Shen Hua to take risks.Shen Hua knew his intentions and did not refute, and followed him back to the mansion.

Not long after, Feng Che came back, he nodded slightly and said.

"My lord, my subordinates went to investigate and found that there was only one woman named Liancheng in the entire Chang'an City, and she died two years ago."

"Dead?" Shen Hua exclaimed, which meant that the clue was broken.

Mo Xuan also frowned slightly, it seemed that he could only take the risk of capturing Liu Cheng, Feng Che hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"My lord, my younger sister is also called Liancheng, but it's just a baby name. After she grows up, her family will no longer call her."

Shen Hua was stunned, she looked at Mo Xuan who was beside her, saw the meaning on Mo Xuan's face, she pursed her lips slightly, and said for a long time.

"After Mrs. Tomorrow's charges are cleared, let's go to your house."

Feng Che responded in a low voice, and then backed away.

This case was obviously out of control, Shen Hua's matter was eased, and another case happened. Although it was not Mo Xuan's responsibility to investigate the case, he had to investigate this case clearly.

He wasn't sure if that person was involved in it, and through this matter, he could just find out.

Court next day.

Mo Xuan stood with a leisurely demeanor. Compared with Huang Zhong, he seemed much more frightened. The high-ranking Dongfang Lianhe glanced at him, and his tone was inherently majestic.

"Huang Shangshu, what else do you want to say?"

Huang Zhong hurriedly knelt down when he heard the words, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"The emperor forgives the crime, the guilty minister has nothing to say, but I beg the emperor to spare the guilty minister's life!"

Dongfang Lianhe sat lazily on the dragon chair with a calm tone.

"Colluded with the flower-pickers in the rivers and lakes, covered up the case, and killed countless women in Chang'an City. For this crime, do you still think that I will spare you?"

Huang Zhong kowtowed again, he remembered what Mo Xuan taught him yesterday, and said hastily.

"The emperor clearly found out that the criminals were forced to do nothing, and it was the little thief who threatened the criminals!"

Dongfang Lianhe glanced at Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan's expression was indifferent, their eyes collided, sparks flew, Dongfang Lianhe turned his eyes back.

"Oh? Is this true?"

Huang Zhong said repeatedly.

"Your Majesty has clearly observed that if there is half a false statement, the offender will be cut to death!"

Dongfang Lianhe waved his hands.

"Such poisonous oaths can't really come true. These are just your own testimony, so they can't be considered true. Put you in jail for now and try again."

Huang Zhong knew that as long as he was not executed immediately, Mo Xuan would have a way to save him, so he was relieved and kowtowed again and again.

Dongfang Lianhe suddenly thought of something and said.

"How is the investigation of the case of the national teacher?"

Mo Xuan raised his eyes and said lightly.

"The murderer who killed the real Huang Shangshu's daughter has been caught. The wife of my national teacher is innocent, right, Huang Shangshu."

Huang Zhong hurriedly responded when he heard the words.

"Yes, yes, the emperor clearly found out that Mrs. Guo Shi was indeed wronged by the guilty minister for a while."

Dongfang Yi has been quietly watching the changes. Seeing what Huang Zhong said at this moment, he knew that he was being held by Mo Xuan. He pursed his lips, and there was a trace of sternness on his face. If he stood up at this time, it would be obvious Against the national teacher, it is better not to pierce this layer of window paper on the bright side.

Mo Xuan's eyes turned away from Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Xuan behind Dongfang Yi. Seeing Mo Xuan looking at him, Dongfang Xuan nodded slightly in response. Mo Xuan turned his head calmly without being surprised.

Dongfang Lianhe squinted his eyes in the high position, his voice was lazy.

"Now that the case has been investigated, I won't say much about what to do. Let's retreat."

Following the eunuch's shout, all civil and military officials paid homage, the voice was deafening and the momentum was huge.

Dongfang Wing's plan ended in failure, and because of this incident, Mo Xuan caught the clue. Dongfang Wing definitely did not plan the whole thing alone. Who else was there?
Shen Hua has been walking back and forth in the long corridor of the National Teacher's Mansion, and she doesn't know how Mo Xuan is in the court hall, whether she will be bitten by Dongfang Yi and Huang Zhong, she frowned slightly, and suddenly cast a corner of the crescent in front of the door Shen Hua was overjoyed by the white clothes, and hurried over.

Seeing Shen Hua rushing towards him, Mo Xuan's cold face burst into warmth, he stretched out his hand to catch Shen Hua's figure, Shen Hua hurriedly asked.

"Is it over?"

Mo Xuan nodded.

"The next step is to follow the vine."

Shen Hua winked at him.

"This kind of thing sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"My lady's words are very much to my liking."

Shen Hua chuckled, and went back to the house together with Mo Xuan. Xiangcha held her face behind them, her eyes full of envy, when suddenly Feng Che's figure appeared in front of her, Xiangcha quickly got up and called out.

"Wind Guard."

Feng Che glanced at Xiangcha, and said with a slight smile.

"How many times have I said, just call me Feng Che, why can't I remember."

Xiangcha blushed slightly, Feng Che smiled shallowly, the air was filled with a faint plum fragrance, Xiangcha was in a trance for a moment.

Shen Hua thought carefully about the flower picker's intentions in the room. The word Liancheng that appeared on the map was not a coincidence, but according to Fengche's words, Liancheng was his younger sister's baby name. Therefore, the baby name has not been called since two years ago, but the temperament of the two years ago and the flower picker's two years ago has changed greatly, I don't know if it is the same time.

Seeing Shen Hua's frowning face, Mo Xuan couldn't help asking.

"Madam, are you thinking about the flower picker?"

Shen Hua glanced at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Know me like a national teacher."

Mo Xuan's eyes moved, and he spread the map on the table again. On it was the word "Liancheng" connected by Shen Hua, but the word "city" was missing the last stroke.

Shen Hua pointed at the missing one and said.

"He will continue to commit crimes, even if the traces have been exposed."

Mo Xuan nodded. If this was Liu Cheng's original intention, he would definitely turn his face on this last one. Mo Xuan checked and found that only three households met the requirements. If Liu Cheng wanted to do something, he would definitely It is those three.

Now we can only spread nets around those three families, of course Liu Cheng's martial arts will not be caught, but if the plan is disrupted, the women of those three families will be safe for the time being.

And Mo Xuan and Shen Hua are also going to Feng's house, regardless of whether Feng Che's younger sister Liancheng has anything to do with the case, they have to go and investigate.

Shen Hua and Mo Xuan set off that afternoon. It was a day before the last time a woman was killed. In other words, they only had five days to find out the truth. Otherwise, it would be too late when Liu Cheng took action.

The Feng family has made swords for generations, and they are also well-known in the Jianghu. The most prosperous time was the generation of Feng Che's grandfather. At that time, the weapons of the Feng family swept the entire Mo country. After his grandfather passed away, Feng Che's father, Feng Zha, inherited the Feng family. Although the weapons of the Feng family were still loved, they were far from reaching the level of Grandpa Feng Che.

Because of this, the Feng family gradually declined, but even with the decline, the current Feng family still has a certain influence in the world. According to the strength of the Feng family, Feng Che, as the eldest son of Feng, should not have been under Mo Xuan's subordinates, but because of Mo Xuan used to be kind to Feng's family, and Feng Cha always paid attention to repaying his kindness, so he sent his eldest son to Mo Xuan's subordinates as a bodyguard. When the news came out, it caused quite a stir.
