As the dawn shines, the floating fog between the woods is gradually dissipating.

The people from Jiangning Prefecture rushed to the scene first, where some corpses were left, including men in black and large inner guards, with blood everywhere and limbs spreading across the ground, and a bloody scene.

When Peng Qingqing saw this scene, she suppressed the vomiting and searched for Su Chen's body everywhere.

"Su Chen, where are you, Su Chen——"

Su Chen's face was sad and full of worry. She kept yelling at Su Chen's name, with tears in the corners of her eyes. The more bodies she looked through, the colder her heart became.

She wanted to find Su Chen as soon as possible, but she didn't want to find Su Chen's body here, and her heart was full of contradictions.

Peng Zeliang was also a little worried about Su Chen's whereabouts. After all, he knew very well that Su Chen was the importance of Sun Party's next layout; in addition, Su Chen was his daughter's fiancé and was also his recognized prospective son-in-law. He lost this way, too much

pity.

Everyone knows that once Su Chen grows up, his future will inevitably be limitless.

He watched Qingqing rummaging and searching, constantly shouting, extremely sad and extremely anxious expression, Peng Zeliang couldn't help but sigh softly: Girls are too old to stay! His daughter is usually careless, but she didn't expect she would really do it.

Falling in love with a man so much.

Only by facing Su Chen, this daughter who is neither light nor heavy, and who looks like a lady, can she calm down and look like a girl.

Peng Zeliang sighed lightly, walked up, stood beside his daughter, reached out and patted her shoulder, comforted her, "Qingqing, don't worry, Su Chen's good fortune is a natural appearance, and he has looked at Su Chen's face for his father,

He is a person with deep blessings, definitely not a short-lived ghost!”

Peng Qingqing stood up and looked at her father helplessly. Tears couldn't help but flow down, and she cried, "But, I can't find him."

Peng Zeliang said: "It is not found here, at least it means that nothing happened to him; if there is no news, it is the best news."

Peng Qingqing wiped her tears and said, "But...but, where is he? Will there be danger? How can I find him? My daughter is really worried that something will happen to him!"

"This..." Peng Zeliang was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to find it. The most rustic way was to send people everywhere to search for it blindly.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was loud, and the sound of soldiers and armor was shining, and a team of Jinwu Guards rushed over.

There were about 200 people, all of whom were cavalry. This was the guards in the imperial city, responsible for protecting the emperor and patrolling the capital. Some major cases involving major events in the court were used by the emperor to assist the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice in the investigation.

The commander who led the team to the Jinwu Guard this time was Sima Changying, the Youlang General, who was about thirty years old, wearing bright armor and shining brightly. Since it was the imperial guards that protected the emperor, the armor was brighter than other guards.

very good.

"We are from Jinwuwei, which department are you from?"

Peng Zeliang stepped forward and said, "Peng Zeliang, the governor of Xiajiangning Prefecture, is he the commander of Jinwu Guard?"

Sima Changying was considered a person who defected to Sun Party. He was very polite to him casually, and he clasped his fists and said, "Oh, it turns out that it was Lord Peng, the prefect of Jiangning, who was intimate. He was indifferent to the right side of Jinwu Guard. Sima Changying, the right general of Jinwu Guard, was in the official family.

He is ordered to assist in investigating the case of the assassination team and find out the whereabouts of Mr. Su Chen.”

Peng Zeliang nodded and sighed: "The fierce fight here happened last night. The coroner judged the stiffness of the corpse. The death time was more than five hours. Su Chen was not here and he was likely to escape. The most urgent task is to send troops to spread everywhere.

Chase and check the directions of horse hoof prints and footprints on the ground."

"It makes sense. Send some people first and search around."

Sima Changying immediately selected two capitals and divided the hundred people into several teams. Based on the traces of horse hooves and blood stains on the ground, he began to search around the periphery.

A moment later, Cao Yongqin, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Liu Jin, the chief minister of the Ministry of Justice, each brought his own people from the yamen to ride a horse.

The people from the Sifang Office met with each other and inspected them on the spot.

Cao Yongqin bowed and said politely: "Shaoqing of Xia Dali Temple, are you the newly appointed prefect of Jiangning Prefecture Lord Peng?"

Peng Zeliang returned the courtesy and said, "It's Mr. Peng who has met Cao Shaoqing."

"You don't have to be polite, it should be Cao who paid homage to Mr. Peng." Cao Yongqin was quite polite and greeted him indifferently.

Peng Zeliang's Jiangning Prefecture Is a third-rank rank, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a fourth-rank rank. The two of them are indeed different. Even though Dali Temple is a responsibilities and has some power, the Jiangning Prefecture Is in charge of the capital.

All the power is huge for business, big and small.

What's more, the prefect who is located in the capital is a mission that cannot be taken over by ordinary people. It must be an extraordinary person trusted by the official.

The Sun Dang also made great efforts and wanted to tie Peng Zeliang and Su Chen to the Sun Dang's chariot, which made it so hard that it promoted this promotion.

At this time, after cleaning up on the scene, the dead body of the large eunuch guard and the black-clothed assassin were each placed in a row.

"Sir, these tokens were taken out of the man in black." The Dali Temple constable handed over two tokens to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

At the same time, the guards of Jinwu Guard and the constables of Jiangning Prefecture also took out the token from the man in black.

Cao Yongqin was surprised and said, "How can I see such a token? Ah... I remembered that this is not the token of the Wude Department of the Great Song Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Liu Jin, the director of the Ministry of Justice, was surprised and said, "Is it really a secret spy from the Wude Department of the Song Dynasty who assassinated him?"

"But why do they have to deal with this team of edicts?" Sima Changying spoke out loudly and expressed his doubts.

Cao Yongqin smiled softly and said, "It's not difficult to explain. There is Mr. Su Chen in the ranks of the imperial edict. He has been in the limelight these days, with a lot of reputation, poetry and talent, research on things and craftsmanship, and smallpox treatment. Many ideas emerge one after another, triggering

It is not impossible to pay attention to the intelligence network of the Northern Song Dynasty. Maybe they either came to kill people or plunder Mr. Su Chen and take them to the Great Song Dynasty."

Peng Zeliang's expression changed when he heard this. If it was really a secret spy from the Song Dynasty who targeted Su Chen, it would be really difficult.

On the way, he kept thinking about whether Su Chen had fallen into party struggles. Some people did not want him to enter Jinling alive, but most of them were the Song Party and the Prince of Li.

But at this time, the situation became complicated by involvement of the Wude Department of the Song Dynasty and the secret spy of the enemy country.

Sima Changying said with a heavy face: "If it involves the Song Kingdom in the north, then things will be even more difficult. This matter is very important and we need to go back and report it to the government."

When Peng Qingqing heard this, she felt even more anxious, and the sword in her hand was tighter.

Cao Yongqin, the young minister of Dali Temple, waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, bury the body so that it will not rot, and it will be exposed to the sun after the rain, and it will easily cause plague."

Peng Zeliang came back to his senses and immediately stopped him: "Stop, these corpses cannot be buried immediately. They need to be asked to paint the special appearance of these people and post them out for local governments to claim them so that they can find out their true identity."
