The hunt was supposed to start again on the second day, but the death of Fu Desheng the night before cast a haze over the camp, so the hunt on the second day was put on hold again!
Not long after dawn, Liu Yun, who had fallen ill, woke up. When he came back to his senses, Liu Yun thought of Fu Desheng's death last night. Immediately, Liu Yun immediately grabbed the guards and questioned him. Fu Desheng's body was parked in the tent, and Liu Yun immediately went towards the tent...
When they arrived at the tent, there were guards sent by Yan Chi. When they saw Liu Yun coming, the guards did not dare to stop them. They let Liu Yun into the tent and went to report to Yan Chi. As soon as Liu Yun entered the tent, he saw that he was already stiff. Fu Desheng came, Liu Yun's eyes turned red, and he was about to be unable to stand for a while, but the guards helped him up, and he stopped just now.
"His Royal Highness, you must not get angry anymore. You fainted last night. The imperial doctor has said that your highness' condition has worsened. If you don't control your emotions, it will get worse. The general is gone. You are our backbone."
The guard's words were earnest, and Liu Yun's mood was mixed. Fu Desheng came with him, let alone died on the territory of Dazhou, he would have died in a foreign land, and there were frequent strange incidents during the hunting, Dazhou no matter what It is impossible to shirk responsibility! It is impossible for him not to be angry! What's more, Fu Desheng is also his supporter in Xiliang. If he dies now, his military power will be taken back. When he returns to Xiliang with no strength, what chance will he have
The more Liu Yun thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and now he still hopes that this is just a dream.
It was a good banquet, Fu Desheng just went back to get him medicine, why did he die? !
Thinking like this, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent, and when the curtain was lifted, it was Yan Chi who walked in. Liu Yun turned his eyes and looked at Yan Chi fiercely, "One night has passed! Your Highness, I don't know Can you give me an explanation?"
Yan Chi understood Liu Yun's anger, "The murderer has not been found yet."
Yan Chi's answer was undisguised, but Liu Yun was even more angry when he heard this, "The murderer has not been caught yet?! His Royal Highness is planning to use such a sentence to prevaricate?"
Yan Chi continued, "The battalion has sent additional guards to patrol to protect everyone. Whether it's about Prince Tuoba or General Fu, I will continue to investigate. Your Highness, don't worry, there will be results."
Seeing Yan Chi's stern expression, Liu Yun sneered. He had heard of Yan Chi's name as Demon King for a long time, and he knew in his heart that Yan Chi would never take him seriously, so Liu Yun thought for a moment, then walked towards He walked outside the big tent, got out of the big tent, and went straight to Yanhuai's main tent, it was still early, before Liu Yun arrived at Yanhuai's tent, Yanhuai had only just got up.
Upon hearing that Liu Yun and Yan were late, Yan Huai hurriedly went to the front hall to summon them. As soon as Liu Yun entered the door, he said, "Your Majesty, it's been a night, why hasn't the person you appointed found out anything?!"
Yan Huai glanced at Yan Chi, unaffected by Liu Yun's questioning tone, and said in a low voice, "I can understand the mood of the Third Highness, but the murderer is not a mediocre person, and it will take time to find out. Last night we already The investigation started immediately, and there is absolutely no perfunctory attitude, the Third Highness can rest assured, as long as you give us time."
Liu Yun sneered again and again, "Give time? How much time does it take? Ta Bahong has been lying in bed for a few days, isn't there still no result in his affairs?!" Liu Yun mocked, "Of course, Tuoba Hong Hong didn't die, he was rescued, but now our general in Xiliang is dead, Your Majesty, the person who died now is from Xiliang, I request that our Xiliang case be the most important thing, and focus on paying the general to me death..."
Yan Huai and Yan Chi looked at each other, Yan Huai said, "How did the Third Highness know that the death of General Fu and the murder of Prince Tuoba were not done by one person?"
Liu Yun was stunned, unable to speak for a while, before saying, "A person did it alone? Why did the murderer want to kill both the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xiliang?! Could it be that the murderer was from the Great Zhou Dynasty?!"
Yan Huai frowned, feeling that Liu Yun had probably been dazzled by anger, and said helplessly, "Why doesn't Your Highness think about it, what good is it for the people of Zhou to do this? But last night, the incident happened suddenly, and the murderer Obviously not specifically to take General Fu's life, but it's a pity that General Fu acted alone last night, we don't know what happened to him."
While talking, Yan Che, Yan Qi and others came from outside the tent. They all knew that Liu Yun had come to Yanhuai's tent to hear the news. They all entered the tent together. Liu Yun saw so many people, His face became even more angry, "Your Majesty, you don't need to use these reasons to coax me. This is the big hunting camp in Dazhou. There are so many imperial guards guarding it, but this kind of bloody incident happened in the camp. If it happened in Xiliang, it would be a shame." It is a disgrace to me, Xiliang!"
Liu Yun's voice was not good, Yan Qi frowned slightly, "Third Highness, please be careful!"
Yan Huai raised his hand to stop Yan Qi. Faced with Liu Yun's anger, Yan Huai seemed much calmer. First, he was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Liu Yun's disrespect could not shake him. Second, he also understood Liu Yun's anger. Yun, and I don't want to anger Liu Yun even more and make the situation even more difficult to control, "Third Highness calm down, this happened in Dazhou, it is true that we did not protect well, but it has already happened, and now finding out the truth is the most important thing, otherwise How can General Fu rest in peace?"
Liu Yun raised his jaw, "Okay! Then I ask the emperor to give me a definite answer in front of everyone. How many days? The murderer can be found out in a few days. This is Dazhou. I will never wait indefinitely." Go down, the murderer is in the camp! I don't believe that the place where the elite of the Zhou Dynasty gathers can't find a murderer!"
Yan Huai pursed his lips slightly, looked at Yan Chi, Yan Chi nodded, and Yan Huai said in a deep voice, "Well, I will give you a date, three days, after three days, I will definitely hand over the murderer to you !"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Dazhou had a serious look on their faces, but Liu Yun smiled, "Okay, the emperor said well, three days will be three days, if the murderer is not found after three days, I will immediately take Fu When the general returns to Xiliang, Zhou Guozuo is rich and strong, but now he spends a lot of money to deal with the enemy, if he wants to deal with another Xiliang, it will not be so easy!"
Liu Yun's voice was angry, and his words were strong. This clearly meant that if the murderer was not found on time, Xiliang would cavalry against Da Zhou. This was an extremely angry threat from Liu Yun, but it was not impossible. After all, if Da Zhou Not giving an explanation to Xiliang is extremely rude, and Fu Desheng is a general of Xiliang, the emperor of Xiliang would be very angry!
A flash of intelligence flashed in Yan Huai's eyes, Shen Shen looked at Liu Yun for a moment before suddenly smiling, "Don't worry, Your Highness, after three days, just wait for the result."
Liu Yun nodded, looked around the crowd again, and was about to walk away, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "No, General Fu said it before he died last night! He said the word 'North'! "
Thinking of this, Liu Yun opened his eyes wide and said, "He's from the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
After saying this, Yan Huai frowned slightly, and Liu Yun stepped forward excitedly, "The murderer is from the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise General Fu would not have said that!"
Yan Huai looked at Yan Chi, and Yan Chi immediately said, "To be honest, what the Third Highness said is also the direction we want to investigate. Third Highness, don't worry, we specifically searched the envoy's camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty last night."
Liu Yun asked, "Really?!"
Yan Chi nodded, "Third Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask the people around you to ask."
Liu Yun was skeptical after hearing this, "Okay! Remember, there are only three days!"
After finishing speaking, he walked away in a huff.
As soon as Liu Yun left, Yan Che quickly looked at Yan Chi, "Yan Chi, within three days, are you sure?"
Yan Chi shook his head, but he didn't lie, "No."
"What?! Not sure—"
Yan Che frowned, but he was really in a hurry. He was in charge of the hunt this time, and all the arrangements of the Guards and the planning and rectification of the hunting grounds were based on the examples of previous years, but who knows, this year Something went wrong!
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether there is a chance depends on the results of the autopsy again today!"
Yan Che was very angry, but Yan Chi was not in a hurry, and Liu Yun's threat to send troops was insignificant in his eyes, like a child playing house. These people in Lin'an City didn't know what the border was like. However, he is very clear that today's Xiliang does not dare to start a war. Of course, this is the worst plan. As a child of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he can make good friends with other countries, he will naturally not make enemies. For Yan Che and the others, he didn't want to use the high-sounding methods above the court.
"Autopsy? When is the autopsy—"
Seeing Yan Che's anxious questioning, Yan Huai glanced at Yan Che, "Prince, can the deployment of the camp be rearranged?"
Yan Che hurriedly said, "Father, don't worry, it has been rearranged! More manpower has been deployed, and the interval between patrols has been shortened. It is extremely difficult for the murderer to take advantage of loopholes!"
Yan Qi said coolly at the side, "Hey, it would be great if the crown prince arranged this earlier."
The corners of Yan Che's lips were tightly pursed, "Who knew that such a thing would happen?"
Yan Huai's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Prince, Lin Zhang, the two of you and Yan Chi will thoroughly investigate this matter together. Within three days, there must be a result. The worst thing about this matter is fighting, and the least is to give it to the elders." No matter what, I will see the murderer appear in front of me in three days, otherwise, the three of you will be accused!"
Lin Zhang and Yan Che were in charge of many arrangements in the camp, and Yan Chi was the left servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the murderer was not found after three days, the punishment would be justified. Yan Qi laughed a little after hearing this.
After leaving the big tent, Yan Qi looked at Yan Chi and said, "Who is the person doing the autopsy? You have such a master by your side, so it shouldn't be difficult to investigate the case this time, right?"
Yan Qi didn't know who the person who performed the autopsy was, but Yan Che did. Yan Che said coldly, "King Cheng can't help, so don't make trouble, it's better to stabilize the third prince's mood, and leave other matters to us .”
Yan Qi snorted softly, Liu Yun was already a little evil, but now he is in a fit of anger, how could ordinary people be able to hold on? ! This matter has nothing to do with him in the first place, so he will not meddle in it. He just wants to know who is the person who performed the autopsy on the Lin'an government office! ? Back then, he could have given the prince a fatal blow, but he was destroyed by this unknown pawn!
This time, he must find this person out!
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How dare I make trouble, don't I just want to help? Yan Chi has such a powerful person by his side, doesn't the prince want to see and see?"
Yan Che said coldly, "Now is not the time to talk about these things!"
After saying this, Yan Che pulled Yan Chi and left. Yan Qi immediately concluded that Yan Che also knew the identity of that person. Looking at the backs of Yan Che and Yan Chi, Yan Qi frowned fiercely. Chi has already stood beside Yan Che? !
As a result, he wanted to know who the person who performed the autopsy was even more!
After walking a long way, Yan Che said, "The person you are talking about doing the autopsy is the Ninth Girl of the Qin Mansion, right?"
Yan Chi knew that Yan Che already understood Qin Wan's knack for acting, so he nodded, "Exactly—"
Yan Che nodded and warned, "Arrange carefully, don't let her identity be revealed."
In Yan Che's tone, besides being cautious, there was also concern. As a man, Yan Chi naturally understood what a man was thinking, so he frowned slightly, "Ninth Miss is valued by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor..."
Yan Chi tried a word, and Yan Che said solemnly, "Then she is also a woman. King Cheng has been looking for who was the one who helped me back then, and he must never let him know that it was Miss Nine who helped me."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, "Remember, Nine Girls is the younger sister of the future Crown Princess, no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince is so cautious."
Yan Che's brows were not loosened when he heard the words, obviously Yan Chi didn't get to the point, Yan Che hesitated and continued, "Anyway, arrange carefully, we not only need to investigate the murderer, but also prevent someone from making trouble."
These words were to tempt and win Yan Chi over, Yan Chi smiled and responded silently.
Watching Yan Che leave, Yan Chi stood in place and moved slightly, and for a moment, his eyes darkened deeply.
On the other side, Lu Xiao quickly stepped into Yan Qi's big tent, "My lord, I have already found out that last night, only Miss Nine went to the big tent where the corpse was parked, and she got out after spending two sticks of incense inside. "
Yan Qi frowned, "Only Nine Girls go there?"
Lu Xiao nodded, "His Highness Chi said that Nine Girls are good at medicine, so he asked Nine Girls to follow Fu Desheng's wounds. It just so happened that Nine Girls also came over at that time, so the emperor agreed."
Yan Qi thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, it's not right, the person who performed the autopsy should be a man, continue to investigate, did they miss it?"
Lu Xiao frowned in embarrassment, "My lord, probably not, the villain bought it so hard, it is impossible to tell us irrelevant news, if it is a man, only the white guard next to His Highness Chi will go in pass."
Yan Qi knew Bai Feng, but was it Bai Feng
Yan Qi remembered that day in Yi Zhuang, the people he saw were thinner and much shorter than Bai Feng.
"It shouldn't be Bai Feng. You go to check again and see who has gone to the big tent where the corpse is parked today. It's fine. No one will stay with a corpse."
Lu Xiao nodded, turned around and left.
Yan Qi sat in the same place and thought for a while, but he didn't know what he thought of, and a gleam of disbelief suddenly flashed in his eyes.
After noon, Qin Wan followed Bai Feng to the large tent where Fu Desheng was parked.
One night had passed, and purple corpse spots had appeared on Fu Desheng's body, and there was already a faint smell of corpses in the tent. Qin Wan lit the darkening incense in the tent, and lit the prepared herbs such as Cangzhu, etc. The finished medicine bag was ready, and then the autopsy began again. First, the prepared white vinegar was wiped on Fu Desheng's arms and upper body. Sure enough, deeper scars were soon exposed, Qin Wan one by one Passed the inspection, and then focused on inspecting the wound on the side of Fu Desheng's neck.
She prepared a new knife today, inspected it for a while, and cut along the outside of the wound towards the direction of the wound. Qin Wan suddenly realized that something was wrong. The abrasions were mainly on the upper side of the wound, indicating that the murderer’s focus was on the upper side no matter when it was piercing or pulling out. This shows that the murderer’s height should be taller than Fu Desheng...”
She turned to Fu Desheng's other injuries, "There were very few other bruises on the deceased's body, which further showed that the murderer was good at martial arts, whether it was wounding or taking people, and he was not messy at all. If this is the case, how did the deceased escape?" Where did it come out?"
Qin Wan carefully looked at the scars on Fu Desheng's body, but still couldn't understand it. When he lowered his head, he saw a new stab wound on Fu Desheng's left hand. It was a very small cut. Unable to detect it, it seemed that he was stabbed by some wooden thorns, so Qin Wan raised his head and said, "Maybe take me to the pharmacy?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Of course, go now?"
Qin Wan nodded, and Yan Chi took Qin Wan to the pharmacy. Soon, he arrived at the pharmacy where Fu Desheng was attacked last night. There were still guards guarding the pharmacy. It was still the same as last night after the incident happened.
When Qin Wan entered the pharmacy, he saw blood splattered everywhere in the pharmacy, which had already dried up, and one of the medicine jars on the side was overturned, and the cloth bags for visiting medicinal materials were also turned into a mess. Qin Wan especially looked at Tuoba Hong Yao frowned slightly on the herbs and jars he used, "It seems that they are indeed aimed at Prince Tuoba."
As he spoke, Qin Wan saw a candle that had fallen to the ground and a chair that had fallen aside.
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, "Has anyone moved this chair?"
Yan Chi shook his head, "No, it should be that the two of them collided while struggling."
"No." Qin Wan shook her head, and then squatted down. She looked at the chair carefully, and soon found a protruding wooden thorn on the left side of the chair back. There is a star of blood.
Qin Wan immediately picked up the chair, "Fu Desheng has a scar on his left ring finger, he should have held the chair like this and smashed it towards the murderer, so he bought time to escape, and the murderer didn't leave him behind." Inside the big tent, I didn't dare to chase it out, so I had to let Fu Desheng leave—”
Yan Chi's eyes lit up slightly, "This chair is not light, if it hits someone else, it will definitely leave scars."
Qin Wan nodded, "There will definitely be bruises. Bloody clothes can be hidden and washed, but the scars on the body cannot be removed."
Yan Chi immediately said, "I'll go to the tent of the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty again."
Qin Wan nodded, Yan Chi turned around and walked out, Bai Feng stayed to take care of Qin Wan, Qin Wan thought about it, and looked around the pharmacy, but found nothing else, Qin Wan thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and have a look."
Hearing this, Bai Feng naturally led the way and returned to the large tent where the corpse was parked. Qin Wan looked at Fu Desheng's corpse and said, "The emperor wants His Highness to find out the truth within three days?"
Bai Feng nodded, "Yes, the Third Highness said that if he didn't find out after three days, he would take General Fu's body back to Xiliang and threaten him with arms. So, the emperor had no choice but to promise him three days."
The three-day period is neither short nor long, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to check clearly when the time comes.
And now that Ta Bahong's case and Fu Desheng's case are mixed together, it is not so easy to investigate.
Qin Wan sighed, "It's right for him to be angry when something like this happened to Da Zhou."
Without the three-day limit, Qin Wan wanted to solve the case earlier, but now that Xiliang was threatening her, she dared not be careless, so she checked Fu Desheng from head to toe again, but this time But still failed to find any more clues. Indeed, the incident happened suddenly last night, Fu Desheng was fatally hit, but there were not many other scars left.
Just as she was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the big tent, Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, Yan Chi came back so soon
As soon as the thought came to mind, the guards outside hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, you can't go in, the autopsy is in progress..."
The guard hurriedly stopped him, Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he was about to go out to stop Yan Qi, but at this moment the curtain was lifted up, and the next moment, Yan Qi strode in!
Seeing Qin Wan standing beside Fu Desheng with his sleeves rolled up, Yan Qi smiled coldly, "It really is you."
