"Your Majesty, Wang Wenshu's body has been tested by the coroner, and it has been confirmed that Wang Wenshu did not commit suicide, but was strangled by a rope and suffocated to death. The sword mark was indeed repaired afterwards." That night, Li Ling reported to Huo Guang the results of the coroner's body examination of Wang Wenshu, and the result was exactly the same as what Huo Guang saw and analyzed.

"Have you found anything near the scene of Wang Wenshu's death? Have you checked the origin of the sword? Is it sure it was Wang Wenshu's sword?" Huo Guang continued to ask. He left in a hurry and forgot to check it carefully at the scene of Wang Wenshu's death. Since Wang Wenshu was strangled, the weapon was naturally not the sword.

Huo Guang is not a professional case-solving expert, but he also knows the importance of finding a real weapon. Unfortunately, Huo Guang really does not have any talent in this regard, and there are no useful clues to this day.

"I went back to the emperor and searched for another afternoon, but found no clues. The sword was indeed Wang Wenshu's sword, but according to the situation inquiry, Wang Wenshu did not carry his sword with him when he went to the backyard that day." Li Ling continued to answer, the situation he said this time was finally useful to Huo Guang.

"Well, that's right! Wang Wenshu also placed refreshments in the backyard, and it didn't seem like he was going there to commit suicide. How could a person who was so leisurely and so easy to carry a sword with him in his mansion? However, this provided us with a clue, to be able to kill Wang Wenshu quietly, and to enter Wang Wenshu's room without anyone else to get the sword. This person must be a person that Wang Wenshu is extremely close to, and even this person's status in the mansion will not be too low." When Huo Guang heard Li Ling's words, he suddenly felt a light of inspiration. The sword used to cover up the truth became an important clue after Huo Guang's analysis.

"Your Majesty, everyone in Wang Wenshu's mansion is controlled by us, but his third wife Zhang Qiaoshui is unknown. Could this matter be related to her?" Dongfang Shuo did not speak, and at this time, his face finally darkened.

"How much do you know about Zhang Ji?" Huo Guang also felt that Zhang Qiaoshui was indeed very suspicious, but what made Huo Guang even more puzzled was her identity as Zhang Ji's daughter. At this time, Dongfang Shuo, Li Ling and Du Yannian were both there, so Huo Guang asked the three of them.

"Why did the Lord suddenly ask about Zhang Ji coming? My subordinates have worked with him for more than half a year. This person is quite mature and has a good reputation in the yamen." Among these three people, Du Yannian had the most contact with Zhang Ji, so he spoke.

Huo Guang thought for a while and the three people in front of him were already their confidants, so he did not hide the relationship between Zhang Qiaoshui and Zhang Ji: "Do you still remember that on the morning of leaving Chang'an, Zhang Ji came to the county government to find me? He told me at that time that he had a daughter named Zhang Qiaoshui. When he was the county magistrate, Wang Wenshu took Zhang Qiaoshui as a hostage. He also entrusted me to come to Hanoi this time to rescue his daughter. Are you talking about this matter too interesting?"

"What?"

"What happened like this?"

"Is this strange?"

After hearing Huo Guang's words, Dongfang Shuo and the other two looked surprised. No one expected that this matter would be related to Zhang Ji, who was far away in Chang'an. If Zhang Qiaoshui had a problem, then would it mean that Zhang Ji had a problem?

"Hanoi bandits are all a group of mobs. If they can easily kill Wang Wenshu, they will not wait until today. This shows that the forces that killed Wang Wenshu are not those bandits and riots. Then it is very likely that there is another hidden force in Hanoi, and this force may even be more terrifying than these bandits and riots. I think the king should be more careful in the future. I am worried that these people will attack you sooner or later!" Dongfang Shuo said with a serious face. Huo Guang had never considered what he said, and after Dongfang Shuo said this, Huo Guang also felt that it really makes sense.

"Mr. Dongfang said that there may be third-party forces in Hanoi? And this force has been planning for a long time?" Huo Guang also had to admit that Dongfang Shuo's wise man's name was not a false reputation. The best explanation for these strange things at present is that there is a third-party force hidden in the dark.

"If there is such a force, we should be even more careful. Because the rebellion between bandits and refugees is largely forced, it is relatively easy to pacify these people. And this third-party force must have been planned for many years. Their purpose is to truly subvert the country, and the enemy is dark and we are clear, which will make us very passive." Dongfang Shuo continued, but after his analysis, the big context is really clear.

"Well, these people have a big plan, and sooner or later, there will be a day when the waters surface. I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who can fight against the entire Han Dynasty? As long as we are careful, we can catch them all at once when these people emerge." When we are not sure who the opponent is and what means they have, the best way is to respond to changes in the same way. There is a saying that Huo Guang is right. In today's world, the great Han Dynasty is in full swing, and there is really no force that can compete with the court.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go and rest. The spies sent to the prefectures and counties tomorrow should come back. Then we will discuss how to overcome the prefectures and counties." Huo Guang asked several people to go down and rest. Today, everyone was busy. Although he did not analyze anything substantial with Dongfang Shuo and others, Huo Guang still felt that he had gained a lot. At least Dongfang Shuo's analysis made him more cautious.

"I'm leaving!" Dongfang Shuo and others bowed and left. Huo Guang couldn't rest at this time because he had one very important thing to do, that is, to write to Emperor Wu of Han about what he was doing today.

After all, Wang Wenshu was still the prefect of Hanoi. No matter what his crime was, whether it was suicide or killing, the whole story of this matter must be reported to Emperor Wu of Han as soon as possible.

Huo Guang laid the paper, grind it himself, then sorted out his thoughts, and began to write on the paper. Huo Guang mainly reported that Emperor Wu of Han was that Wang Wenshu had committed treason. The letter was naturally the best evidence. Huo Guang would also attach it to Emperor Wu of Han. However, Huo Guang was also somewhat suspicious whether this letter was written by Wang Wenshu? At first, Huo Guang also thought about whether to check the authenticity of the letter. However, when he thought that Wang Wenshu had done so many bad things and the chaos in the Hanoi was caused by Wang Wenshu, Huo Guang also gave up this thought.

Regardless of whether the letter is true or false, Wang Wenshu is already dead, and now he is just asking Wang Wenshu for a legitimate death penalty, and this treason crime is much better than Wang Wenshu's other crimes. Because if Wang Wenshu was tyrannical and forced the people to rebel, it would be a satirical to Emperor Wu of Han, because Emperor Wu of Han even urged all counties and counties in the world to learn from Wang Wenshu's governance experience more than once. And the crime of treason can be regarded as giving face to Emperor Wu of Han, and at least it will not mean that Emperor Wu of Han has a problem with the governance policy.

In Huo Guang's letter to Emperor Wu of Han, he also mentioned the confiscation of Wang Wenshu's property. According to the rough estimate of Wang Wenshu's property, it has reached tens of thousands of gold, and these property are naturally all filled into the national treasury.

However, there is a detail in this. Huo Guang did not tell Emperor Wu of Han that while capturing Wang Wenshu, Huo Guang also sent someone to seize Feng Ning. From Feng Ning, Huo Guang knew that Wang Wenshu had started secretly transferring a piece of wealth a few days ago. According to Feng Ning, the wealth transferred by Wang Wenshu was tens of thousands of gold.

Where did this money go? Feng Ning didn't know, and even after interrogating Wang Wenshu's mansion no one knew about it. Huo Guang only kept this in his heart and sent the memorial to Chang'an overnight. As for the detained Wang Wenshu's relatives, Huo Guang could only deal with it when he was waiting for Emperor Wu of Han's order.

After writing the memorial, it was already the second half of the night again. Huo Guang was tired and planned to go to bed to rest, but when he sat on the bed, he suddenly remembered Dongluwei, who had appeared on his bed last night. This woman should be in the inn now. Huo Guang pondered for a moment and stood up and walked out.

Huo Guang left the door and went straight to the place where Dongluwei was. Huo Guang was always wary of this woman, and the key was that this woman was actually related to Zhang Qiaoshui. At least in Hanoi, Huo Guang knew Zhang Qiaoshui's name and identity for the first time, he learned from Dongluwei.

Soon Huo Guang came to Dongluwei's room for recuperation. When she was found, her injuries were still serious. Although they were not fatal, they made her fall into a coma. Because Dongluwei was ordered to save her by Huo Guang, her soldiers sent her directly to the inn.

"Has she woke up?" Huo Guang asked the soldiers guarding outside Dongluwei's Gate. Now the entire inn is like a military camp, with no female family members in it, so there is only one soldier guarding outside the gate.

"I don't think I've heard anything yet." The soldier said carefully. Except for Dongluwei who was sent back, a military doctor went in to take a look, and no one else entered, and he only stayed outside the door and did not go in.

"Well, I'll go in and take a look." Huo Guang said, and he had already reached out and pushed open the door.

Huo Guang entered the room and saw Dong Luwei lying on the bed with a quilt covered with a bed, but it seemed that she was still in a coma. Huo Guang didn't believe that it would be a coincidence that Dong Luwei appeared in the wooden box sent by Feng Ning last night. Even Dong Luwei may appear again now. However, Huo Guang knew that there was a hidden story and still wanted to follow him, because without understanding the opponent's intentions, following the opponent's plan was the only one who could contact and discover some clues. If he had to say about Huo Guang's intentions, then he would just use his plan!

Huo Guang stood beside the bed and looked at Dong Luwei's face carefully. I have to admit that this woman is also outstanding in appearance. The most unique thing is that this woman is born with a pitiful smell, which makes people feel pity at first sight.

"Ah... why is it you again?" Huo Guang stared at Dong Luwei for a while. Dong Luwei actually woke up at this time. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Huo Guang. She was startled, and then asked in surprise.

"Why is it me again? I still want to ask why it's you again?" Huo Guang showed a smile on his face, but he asked Dong Luwei meaningfully.
