In such weather, it is undoubtedly very difficult to investigate a case that has happened one night.

This place is very close to Liugong City. The envoy of the Kingdom of Khotan came to the Great Sui Dynasty to pay tribute and was killed halfway through. The news came back to the city. The county magistrate was frightened, fearing that he would be responsible for the relationship.

Just then, someone came to the capital city again. The other party came to pick up and drop off the envoy of Khotan at the order of the emperor. Who knew that the person did not receive it, but caught up with such a murder.

The Liugong County Magistrate was trembling and was low and small, just asking to send out the hot potatoes. What surprised him was that this distinguished guest who came from the capital seemed difficult to get along with, but he took the case without saying a word and immediately took the person out of the city to inspect.

County magistrate Liu Lin raised his head and watched the wind gradually stop and the snow gradually stop, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

As the county magistrate of Liugong County, the envoy of Khotan died outside the city. After the imperial court pursued him, he must be blamed. After thinking about it, he didn't know which bandits are so brave that they even dared to kill envoys from other countries. But then again, I have never heard of the particularly arrogant bandits near Liugong City in recent years. Those flying thieves who made small fuss dare not cause trouble outside the city...

While he was thinking about it, he followed behind to look at the body.

The arresters cleaned most of the snow around them, and the bodies gradually exposed, most of them were like the dead just now, killing them with a knife in the throat.

Only the man in the gorgeous clothes in the carriage died of a sharp blade on his chest.

Liu Lin picked up the long sword half inserted in the snow and checked it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Turkic long sword!"

"There is also a Turkic sword here!" another arrester shouted.

The blade was rolled up, and the remaining blood was still there. This was a knife that had killed many people.

Could it be that the Turks did it? Liu Lin was shocked.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Everyone knows that war between the Turks and the Great Sui side was about to break out, and they often waited for the border and did not dare to relax. The Turks had been dissatisfied with the intention of the small country of Tanaka to surrender to the Sui Dynasty for a long time. At this time, killing the envoys of Khotan within the Great Sui territory would definitely make the people of Khotan resent the Great Sui Dynasty, thus provoking relations between the two countries.

Liu Lin’s ideas represent the ideas of the vast majority of people.

So far, the case can almost be determined, but Liu Lin couldn't help but have a headache for the subsequent aftermath: the Turks appeared here, and maybe they had also sneaked into the city. Recently, Linlang Pavilion was going to hold an annual auction in the Liugong City Branch. The world's wealthy and idle people, all the people from all walks of life, gathered here together. At this time, another murder case involving the envoy of Khotan...

He could almost foresee his future situation. As long as he was unfavorable to do things, he would be able to take the blame for the Turks who sneaked into the territory to kill the envoys of Khotan.

Thinking that he might soon lose his position as a county magistrate, Liu Lin felt that his eyes were dark and his hands and feet became weak.

The noble man's subordinate, the young man named Pei, was coming out of the overturned carriage, holding a small cabinet of eight treasures in his arms.

This kind of eight-treasure cabinet is a style that has become popular in Beijing in recent years. It has a small and exquisite three-layer layer. After being opened, there are eight grids inside. It can be placed with rouge and water powder and various candied snacks. It is very convenient to place it in the car, so it is very popular among women. Some women from noble families have their eight-treasure cabinets that are extremely luxurious. They are not only decorated with tortoiseshell agate, but also inlaid with gems and jade beads. They have changed from practical utensils to precious decorations that compete with each other.

Although the eight treasure cabinet in Pei Jingzhe's arms did not look like a jewel, it was also made of good wood. When you look closely, the women in Khotan costumes were dancing, full of exotic style.

The three-layer drawers were pulled open one by one.

The first layer is filled with candied fruits such as dried peaches and apricots, and the second layer is head and face jewelry. When the third layer is opened, it looks yellow at first glance. When Liu Lin looked closer, he found that it was the flowers, yellow, star, moon, fish and insects used by women as veneers, cut them out of gold foil.

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line---

It seems that there are female relatives in this convoy, Liu Lin thought.

This is normal. It is said that the envoys of Khotan were nobles of Khotan. When they went to another country, how could they not bring a few beautiful concubines and maids? Unfortunately, they were already halfway through the journey before they could see the prosperity of Daxing City.

"Look for the body of a woman present." At the same time, the man also spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone naturally wanted to obey and they all dismounted and searched.

The cloak that was originally worth a lot of money was thrown into the snow alone at this time. Liu Lin looked at it with heartache, muttered a few words to himself, barely cheered up and searched.

In addition to the entourage guards riding horses, there were four carriages in this convoy, one for the use of the Khotan envoy, one for the convoy supplies, one for the tributes prepared to be presented to the Emperor of Sui, and another carriage, which should be the maid of the Khotan envoy, because everyone was next to the carriage and found two female corpses buried under the snow, and they were also killed by a knife on the neck, which was very angry.

The two maids were quite pretty, and Liu Lin speculated that they should be the maids and people in the room of the envoy of Khotan.

But he saw the man suddenly bent down and approached with one of the dead maids, almost kissing him. His handsome face reflected the snowy light, and there was a dead face next to him with a blue-black sensation. Liu Lin was only creepy when he saw it.

The man was not concerned at all, and his thin lips were still lingering on the corpse's cheeks. He went down, and even reached out to untie the other party's blood-stained collar. No matter how he looked, he looked like a slight disciple. Even the young man who was originally calm could not help but change his color slightly and said in a lost voice: "Mr.!"

"What's the noise?" The man sneered, walked to another female corpse, squatted and lowered his head, sniffed at the neck where the body had been cut half its throat for a long time, and finally spoke again, "There is another person to look for."

Who else is there? Liu Lin was stunned.

The man said impatiently: "The residual fragrance in the carriage is not the same as those on these two women. There is also a woman, find it!"

When everyone heard this, they quickly searched around, but in the end only twenty-one corpses were found, and there were no female corpses except the two maids.

The man said to Liu Lin: "Save a team of people to clean up the scene and take all the bodies back."

Is this the end?

The envoy of Khotan died here, and the King of Khotan must investigate it. Once the body was removed, and when the snow melted and sunrise, no evidence would be gone. Will they still investigate the case?

Liu Lin was confused and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he had to look at Pei Jingzhe frequently, bow to him and beg silently.

Pei Jingzhe sighed, picked up the cloak he had just put on the ground, and accepted his fate as the person being scolded: "Langjun, are we leaving now? Don't care about the carriage or horse?"

The man asked back: "Tell me, what else can I do if I stay here?"

Liu Linqi Ai Ai interrupted: "Are you also bringing the murder weapon and the carriage back together as evidence? When Yutian asked questions in the future, we would have some evidence."

The man said, "Don't worry about the carriage, just bring a weapon back."

He didn't explain much. After saying that, he strode on the horse and turned around and raised his whip. The white-clothed gray horse galloped away instantly. The rest of the people looked at each other and were at a loss.

After all, the arrests in the small border city were not as well-trained as those in the capital, let alone the Jie Jian Mansion. Pei Jingzhe had to stay and instruct Liu Lin to handle the scene. He divided a team of people to transport the body and weapon back to the city, and then rode back to the Mid-Autumn Mountain Villa.

Qiushan Villa is located in the southeast of Liugong City, with mountains and waters on the back, and quiet in the midst of the chaos. Zhao County Magistrate's wife's family is a local rich family. This villa is his wife's dowry. Every year during the New Year, he would stay here with his family for a few days. Before the envoy of the capital arrived, he had already asked someone to clean up the villa. When the distinguished guests arrived, they would immediately welcome the people here. If the other party lived comfortably, maybe he would also be

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line-

It can reduce the guilt.

Pei Jingzhe does like this place very much, especially now that the winter snow has not melted, the branches are green, and the villa is a little more elegant than the capital. Every time he walks in, he will feel good.

But he knew that the second Lord Feng Mansion was not in a good mood now.

The copper bell was shaking under the eaves, and the man who had just returned from riding a horse was sitting next to the corridor column. He looked lazy and casual, but his fingers cleverly rolled the letter into a small roll into a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb.

Pei Jingzhe couldn't help but let his steps lightly, but the other party's eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyelids were slightly tilted, and he had already noticed his arrival.

"Send someone to check what kind of person this envoy of Khotan is carrying with him." Feng Xiao handed the bamboo tube to Pei Jingzhe and said.

Qiemo is a city located between Khotan and Liugong City, nominally belonging to the Great Sui Dynasty, but the imperial court was busy dealing with the Turks and the Southern Dynasties and did not put too much effort into this place for the time being.

From the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the last city is a must-pass place. Over time, it has become a buffer zone. Passers-by from all over the world gather to rest. Jiejian Mansion has already set up a stronghold there to facilitate the collection and transmission of information.

Pei Jingzhe took the bamboo tube and couldn't help asking: "Do you have a clue about this case?"

Feng Xiao picked up a document from the side and threw it to him.

Pei Jingzhe rushed to catch it. When he opened it, he found that it was written by King Khotan and was about to hand it over to the envoy to present it to Emperor Yang Jian of Sui.

The above clearly states the identity of the envoy located in Tian. The other party was named Yuchi Jinwu, who was the nephew of King Khotan. In the letter, the King Khotan expressed his yearning for the heaven and dynasty, hoping that the two countries would form a good alliance, help each other, and resist the Turks together.

To put it bluntly, King Khotan hoped that the Great Sui Dynasty could help him deal with the Turks, but was also afraid that the Sui Dynasty would take the opportunity to annex him, and he would please him while being prepared.

The Jin Book of the Kingdom was originally presented to the Emperor of Sui, but now the envoy of Khotan is dead. In order to solve the case, the Kingdom Book of the Kingdom has become one of the clues, so naturally they have to pass by them first.

Yuchi Jinwu and his group were killed, but the other party did not rob money or things. Even the letter of state was still in the carriage, so it was intact.

Pei Jingzhe finished browsing, put the gold book together and said to Fengxiao: "Mr., the people of Khotan died in the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. One can destroy the power of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the other can make the gap between the Great Sui Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty. This is indeed something that the Turks can do."

Feng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did they use the Turkic sword when they entered the country to kill people? If they used the Central Plains weapons, wouldn't it be even more deadly and without any trace?"

Pei Jingzhe scratched his chin: "The Turks have always been rude, and it is not surprising that they are so arrogant. Moreover, now that the Turks and the Central Plains are sharpening their knives, even if they know it, they can't do anything to them?"

Feng Xiao: "You didn't realize that there was something important missing in the carriage?"

Pei Jingzhe thought hard, and the most important golden book of the country was there, so what was missing? The envoys of Khotan came to the court to pay tribute, and they also carried a lot of tributes...

He flashed his inspiration and blurted out: "Gift list! I couldn't find the gift list just now!"

Feng Xiao snorted from his throat, as if he felt that he was not helpless.

Pei Jingzhe had already gotten used to the temper of the second palace master. Seeing that the other party agreed, he was already flattered and continued to work hard: "The murderer took away the gift list. Could it be that he stole some tribute and didn't want us to know? But as long as we go to the King of Yutian, can we still ask clearly?"

Feng Xiao said: "After going, the wasted time is enough to make the other party do a lot of things. Take the eight treasure cabinet over."

Pei Jingzhe left as he said, and soon he carried the Babao cabinet over and pulled out the three-layer drawers inside one by one.

Feng Xiao: "A few things are missing."

Pei Jingzhe was stunned and looked into the drawer several times.

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line --

Say--this is a gorgeous division--

He didn't notice what was missing.

However, when you blurt out these words, you will definitely be scolded again, so Pei Jingzhe said honestly: "A villain is stupid, please ask your husband for advice."

Feng Xiao didn't keep it in a silence: "Rouge and water powder."

Pei Jingzhe was not a fool after all, so he could follow the second master of Jie Jian Mansion. After a moment of thinking, he would connect the front and back.
