She turned around and turned around. After a while, she returned to a plate of Youzi in the Temple of Mercy, under which there were a few cakes. The seeds are fried, very hungry.

Tianbao three years on the 14th of January, the beginning of unity.

Guang'an Square, Chang'an County, Chang'an.

The Chang'an City outside is already bustling to melt, but it is still cold and gloomy in this house in Guangdefang.

This is a low brick house with no tiles on it, only covered with two layers of black thatch. It is located right between the Gongzhangfu Temple and the Compassion Temple of Jingzhao, next to the Yongan Drainage. This was originally the morgue of Jingzhao House, which was exclusively used for inspection. There is a ditch next to it, you can walk dirty; standing on the side of the temple, you can spend your soul. According to folk rumors, when Sun Simiao chose to live in Guangdefang, it was for the convenience of inspecting the body at any time and sharpening medical skills.

Cao Poyan lies on a rough elm plank, his chest undulates slightly, and the blood in his abdomen slowly penetrates into the plank, making the dark red wood texture even more rugged. He is not a dead body yet, but it will be soon. The room was very sullen, and he could feel that the cold was rapidly eroding the few lives left.

Cao Poyan fell to the ground after being pierced by Zhang Xiaojing's abdomen at Changmingfang. The years of Wolf Guardian career has made him very strong, even if he was fatally injured, he will not be cut off for a while. When the soldiers of the brigade army cleaned the scene, they found Cao Poyan still breathing and immediately returned to Jing'an.

At that time, Ma Geer and others were driving violently, and Jing Anji's attention was all over there. So the recipient just checked Cao Poyan's physical condition and decided that there was no torture value, so he threw it directly into the morgue. Fortunately, a soldier of the brigade army had previously participated in the round-up of Xishi. He recognized Cao Poyan's identity and entered the document, otherwise Xu Bin might not know it.

The wooden door was pushed open with a squeak, and Zhang Xiaojing entered the morgue alone. He stepped on the uneven bluestone step by step, holding a white lantern high in his left hand, and a lacquered food container in his right hand. The candlelight in the lantern was swaying, and the light and shadow were changing, reflecting that the one-eyed face was particularly grim, just like Yan Luo was in the world.

Stimulated by the light, Cao Poyan's eyes rolled.

Candles are easy to attract souls, so there is never a candle holder in the morgue, and the torch is used. Without a word, Zhang Xiaojing ignited the four torches on the wall one by one to make the room brighter. Then he blew out the lantern and took out a bowl of tan soup from the carrying case.

Cao Poyan's upper body was lifted, and his back was stuffed with pads to support it. Zhang Xiaojing picked up a shank as a hook, roughly hooked his mouth, and twirled it hard, prying open his teeth, and poured the bowl of soup hard.

After the hot soup entered the body, Cao Poyan's complexion seemed to relax.

Zhang Xiaojing turned to his head and leaned down, his voice low: "We meet again."

Cao Poyan closed his eyes and remained motionless, but his cheek muscles twitched for a moment, revealing that he did indeed hear and understand. When people are on the verge of dying, their physical control is much worse than before.

Zhang Xiaojing chuckled and said in fluent Turkic language: "Wolf Guard on the grassland, I have killed a lot. You are the most difficult one and a good opponent."

Cao Poyan remained silent.

"I understand your wolf guards. Loyalty is your blood, honor is your soul. Your life lives only for the words in Khan's mouth." Zhang Xiaojing slowly paced around the slatted bed, seeming not to be in a hurry . He reached out and touched the bald skin above Cao Poyan's head. "I'm curious, why would you, a Wolf Guard loyal to death, be shaved?"

Shaving off the top hair means that the soul is charged in advance, which is an extremely infamous treatment. Sure enough, Zhang Xiaojing mentioned this matter, and Cao Poyan's breath suddenly became heavy, with a trace of humiliation, and he was still unwilling.

"I can probably guess the reason. You were ambushed by Jing Ansi when you entered Changan, and the casualties were heavy, so you were shaved and topped as a punishment. Oh, yes, forgot to say, your plan has failed, otherwise I am now I won't stand here. "

Zhang Xiaojing's voice was low and slow, like chatting to an old friend: "The only person who is qualified to punish the Wolf Guard is the Ashina family. That is to say, above you, there is at least one principal who presides over the whole wolf. The action of Wei. You lie here dying, but he is still at large. "

Cao Poyan rolled his eyes contemptuously, seeming to ridicule Zhang Xiaojing's provocative methods. Who knows Zhang Xiaojing shook his finger and tweeted, "No, I'm not tempting you to betray, I know this pair of wolf guards are useless. I just want to share some things with you to make you less lonely before you die. . "

Zhang Xiaojing leaned on the pillar next to him and started talking about it since he was recruited by the Jingan Division. He detailed the whole tracing process. His tone is very relaxed, as if lying in front of his eyes are friends for many years, the two are sifting the green ant wine on the red clay stove, drinking and talking.

He spoke very frankly and very carefully, with some sharp comments such as "It is very imaginative to hang cigarette pills in the door" and "The Tang Dynasty is much more stupid than you". But in these descriptions, Zhang Xiaojing intentionally or unintentionally ignores some details and renders other details. This is an unfair duel. He must handle every sentence with extreme caution, approaching the goal in a circle, and the opponent just closed his mouth and died, and won.

"... The kidnapping of Wang Yunxiu is a mistake. Yes, she is Wang Zhongsi's daughter, but how much influence can a woman have on the overall military and political situation? Since you want to destroy Chang'an, you should concentrate all your resources on one goal."

"Why didn't you get the square map from Hu Shang from the beginning? That is obviously more secure than Cui Liulang."

"Wanquanzhai and warehouses can be found. Why did you rush you into the city on the day of the operation?"

Zhang Xiaojing is like a cunning hunter. By constantly asking rhetorical questions, he slowly lures the topic to his preset battlefield. These questions are destined not to be answered, but you can control the rhythm of the conversation. He tried many prisoners and knew when to give the deadliest blow.

Throughout the process, Cao Poyan closed his eyes tightly, only the undulating chest said he was alive.

"... Your Turkic Wolf Guard is likely to be used by another group of people, attracting the attention of Jing Ansi. And that group of people took the opportunity to take away the fierce fire thunder, no purpose. You sacrifice so much, just do it for others Wedding dress. "

This is the first attack, Zhang Xiaojing throws his guess, and then he shut his mouth and let Cao Poyan digest these things himself.

Cao Poyan opened his eyes and looked at the thatch on the ceiling. Thatch is very thin, you can see the light changes in the sky outside. He remained silent, but Zhang Xiaojing could read what he meant: "So what, as long as Chang'an is destroyed."

Whether it was the Turkic Wolf Guards who did this or anyone else, Cao Poyan didn't care. Zhang Xiaojing realized that it was impossible to attack from this angle, so he switched the offensive in time.

"Yes, how about that?" Zhang Xiaojing grinned, "Datang's territory is so vast, Chang'an is gone, there are Luoyang, and Yangzhou, Jiangling, Chengdu, there are more than three hundred governors in the world. State, the bombing is over?-But how many of you are Turks? As long as Datang's anger burns to the grassland, your tribe will be uprooted, and your relatives, friends, and Khan will become the worst slaves.

Cao Poyan clenched his fists so hard that blood oozed out of his abdomen. Zhang Xiaojing took the opportunity to wield sharp words with a knife:

"You see, even if this plan is successful, it will surely incur Datang's full revenge. The people who have suffered the most are actually the Turks themselves. They have contributed the most and suffered the most, but the gain has been the least. During the attack, did you seriously consider the consequences? Was he trying to make it happen quickly, or ... was it confusing? "

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaojing noticed that Cao Poyan's fingers shook suddenly. He knew that this time the tenon was aligned.

"I'm afraid that from the beginning, there were intentional people who tricked you into sweating and pushed the Turks forward to take risks. This is really a good deal. Datang suffered heavy casualties, and the Turkic family died, but what about the gang? I also made a lot of money. "

Cao Poyan was still silent, but his expression was different from the one just now.

"To use the Turk, the gang must find an internal response inside the Turk. This internal response must have enough influence to lobby the Khan, have enough authority to mobilize the Wolf Guard, and he must also be in Changan City himself. Take control of the situation ... "

Zhang Xiaojing's speech slowed down, and Cao Poyan's chest began to rise and fall quickly.

"All this can only be done by your noble master? He betrayed Usumich Khan, betrayed all the Turkic Wolf Guards, and caused the grassland to fall into disrepair. All your efforts and sacrifices have become He turned to the gift of the new master, the traitor, but he cut off the top of the loyal man. "

Before the words fell, Cao Poyan raised his head suddenly, screaming like a wolf howl: "Right kill !!!" The thatch on the roof was shaken a few times by this sudden shout. Zhang Xiaojing captured the word keenly, and was shocked in his heart. The Turk actually sent a noble with such a high status to Chang'an.

He put his hand on Cao Poyan ’s chest and patted it comfortably: “Everyone has to be responsible for his own choice. You are shaved by a betrayal and the humiliation of the top hair can only be restored by killing him. Honor Honor ... "

Before Zhang Xiaojing finished, Cao Poyan shouted again at the roof: "Right kill !!!"

These two roars seemed to exhaust his remaining vitality, and Cao Poyan's whole body began to cramp violently. Zhang Xiaojing had to hold his shoulder and sip his life soup again. But this time there was no turning point. The brown medicine flowed from the corner of the mouth, and the gloss on Cao Poyan's face quickly dimmed.

Zhang Xiaojing hurriedly leaned over and shouted in his ear: "Hurry! Where is the right kill!"

But Cao Poyan did not respond. He is now flooded with despair and rage. Wolf Guard never fears death, but Wolf Guard fears death is worthless. When he discovered that everything he fought for was a lie, his inner collapse was enough to destroy his life.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't expect his reaction to be so great. He desperately patted Cao Poyan's cheek. If this guy were allowed to die, the last clue would be completely cut off. He saw the other person's eyes dim quickly, and hurriedly took out a string of colored stone necklaces from his arms, shaking them in front of him.

Under Li Mi ’s training, the brigade army developed a good habit: they collected all suspicious items from the Changmingfang warehouse, whether it was a broken piece of wooden barrel or scattered bamboo heads, the size of the things was not big, they were all kept in the In the storage room next to the left side hall. Zhang Xiaojing found several scattered colored stones during the inspection, and immediately recalled that this was worn on Cao Poyan's neck and was cut off with a knife. So he asked Tanqi to string it back together and bring it into the morgue.

Strange to say, when he saw this colorful stone necklace, Cao Poyan's eyes regained a little color. He calmed down and made an unclear cry, as if reading a name. Zhang Xiaojing tucked the necklace into his palm, lying on his ear and said: "I Zhang Xiaojing swears to the sky that I will return this necklace with your soul to the grassland."

Cao Poyan's top hair was cut by right killing, which means that only by right killing can his soul be truly free.

Cao Poyan turned his face and looked at Zhang Xiaojing for the first time. Zhang Xiaojing grabbed his shoulder and asked again: "Where is the right kill? For your reputation, for your Turkic sweat, for the person who made this necklace to grow up safely, answer me, where is the right kill? "

Cao Poyan opened his mouth and made a few vague syllables. Zhang Xiaojing listened carefully and reluctantly distinguished what he said was "Cross Lotus".

"Cross lotus? What does this mean?"

Zhang Xiaojing would continue to question, but Cao Poyan exhaled his last breath, then closed his eyes and fell softly. His expression was no longer distorted, and the cold brows became serene for the first time, and the necklace was held tightly in his hand.

Zhang Xiaojing was about to loosen Cao Poyan's body, but suddenly his nose fluttered, squinting with one eye, and made a strange move: he pulled the dead man's shoulder again, keeping it halfway up, and then put his head close to the gradually cold chest , For a long time.

The night wind blew from the roof leaks, and the Songming torch swayed, reflecting the two into a very strange shadow. It lasted more than a dozen fingers, and Zhang Xiaojing slowly laid the dead flat, his face showing a happy expression.

With Gan Shoucheng's ban on it, Zhang Xiaojing couldn't return to Jing'an Si Hall, so he had to continue to the Caolu Temple of Cibei Temple. Fortunately, Xu Bin sent a few hard-working officials to build two wooden ladders on the fence between the grass cottage and the main hall. This time he really became the Deng Tuo in Tan Qi's mouth.

"Cross lotus?"

After listening to Zhang Xiaojing's report, Li Bi frowned. He tried hard to think about what it was, and what had to do with the right killing lurking in Changan. But he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he waved his hand and passed the news to Jingansi Hall, and handed it to the group of old officials under Xu Bin.

In front of the big case, Li Bi believes that this is not a big problem.

Zhang Xiaojing said again: "By the way, I may know the whereabouts of Wang Yunxiu." Li Bi raised a brow, and the safety of Wang Zhongsi's daughter was the second priority after searching for the right killing noble, but unfortunately there was no clue, Zhang Xiaojing actually even tried this out?

"Cao Poyan also confessed this?"

"No, he died when he said the cross lotus." Zhang Xiaojing explained, "but when I laid the body down, I smelled a scent on his chest, which is the divine rue, which is commonly used by the Wang family. . "

Li Mi "huh" let him continue. Zhang Xiaojing said: "When the Turkic Wolf Guard withdrew from Xiuzhengfang to Changmingfang, he brought a woman with him, and Cao Poyan had been waiting in Changmingfang, and he smelled like a rut. This shows that Wang Yunxiu's last foothold , Must be at Changming Square. You must go and see it as soon as possible. "

After analyzing, he pressed his lips involuntarily.

In this matter, Zhang Xiaojing harbors selfishness. He didn't care about Wang Yunxiu's end at all, he just wanted to rescue Wen Ran. He knew that it was only Misleading Jing Ansi who made them think that it was Wang Yunxiu who took the Turks away, and these talents would try their best to investigate.

This lie will not hinder the main direction of the investigation, but Zhang Xiaojing is not sure if this can hide Li Mi. This guy's vision is too toxic, but not so cheating.

"How do you know that this is the incense commonly used by Wang Yunxiu?" Li Mihu asked suspiciously. Sure enough, he caught the key. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing had already calculated his words: "A friend of mine opened a fragrance shop and has been supplying this custom-made spice to Wangfu."

Li Mi shook the report in his hand: "But the brigade army has carefully searched Changming Square and found nothing."

"I can take the fine dog again." Zhang Xiaojing insisted, his tone even more faintly pleading. This surprised Li Bi and gave him a look. Why is this guy so obsessed with Wang Yunxiu?

He pondered for a moment and approved the request. After all, this is Wang Zhongsi's daughter, even if you want to make a gesture to the Wang family, you have to search. However, Li Bi does not allow Zhang Xiaojing to go in person. The most critical force should be placed on the most important things. Now Jing Ansi's focus is not Wang Yunxiu, but the right killing of nobles.

Yao Ru was able to see this, and he volunteered quickly. He had seen Zhang Xiaojing walking his dog before, it was a bit of experience. Li Bi nodded his permission. Before leaving, Zhang Xiaojing grabbed Yao Runeng's arm and told a few details about how to use the fine dog's sense of smell. Now even Yao Runeng felt something was wrong, thinking when Zhang Xiaojing was a bad coach, what happened to this Wang Yunxiu?

After Yao Ru was able to leave, Li Mi, Zhang Xiaojing and Tan Qi were quickly left in the Cao Lu. At this time, Xu Bin was still running a major case in the Jing'an Division, but the result had not yet come out. Rare idle, these three people looked at each other, for a while, I didn't know what to say.
