The general and I form a pair

Early in the morning, Ji Kang took Ji Fei out of the bed and told him to go to Gu's mansion to pay back the whip.

"Brother, it's so early and the chickens haven't even woken up yet!" Ji Fei was sleepy, and when Ji Kang wasn't paying attention, he slipped back into bed.

Then he seemed to realize something, sat up abruptly, stared at Ji Kang's scarlet eyes, and said, "Brother, you can't be, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

"I can't sleep, Ah Fei, you go to the general's mansion right away and deliver this letter to the major general. Remember, don't pass it on to others, you must deliver it to the major general yourself."

Ji Kang spoke solemnly, and Ji Fei didn't dare to be vague.

It was only dawn, and Ji Fei yawned all the way until he arrived in front of the General's Mansion, facing Hu Lei, the porter who was also yawning.

Seeing Ji Fei, Hu Lei looked up at Tian'er, and muttered, "What day is it today? Why do you come to the General's Mansion so early in the morning?"

"Who else is here?" Ji Fei thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect someone to be earlier than him.

Or, in other words, almost every household in the capital last night stayed up all night.

Li Mu was sitting on the armchair in the front hall of Furong Courtyard, with his head propped on his hands, shaking every bit. If Ji Fei hadn't helped him in time, he might have fallen out.

"A Fei? Why are you here too?" Li Mu stretched his waist, shook his head, trying to wake himself up.

"Jia Liuer, go make a pot of tea again. When will your major general wake up? Seriously, he can still fall asleep after such a big incident!"

"Your Highness the Seventh, please be safe and don't be impatient. At most, in a quarter of an hour, the Major General will rise up."

Li Mu and Ji Fei have been Gu Yan and Xue Qing's followers since they were young, and they have been ruled by them for a long time.Even if Emperor Chengkang is in his heart, he has to lean back.Otherwise, have you seen any courtier who dared to let the prince wait, but he fell asleep instead!

Li Mu muttered a few words, but didn't dare to speak more.He can't afford to offend Gu Yan.

In fact, Gu Yan got up early, but he was receiving Chu Xiao in the study right now.

"I said Master Chu, you haven't changed your clothes all night, have you? This smell has woken me up!" Ah Qing fanned her nose and sat next to Gu Yan, slapping him like a boneless Staggered, let out a long yawn, and babbled again.

Gu Yan was sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, and slightly lowered his head to look at Ah Qing.He could clearly see his fan-like eyelashes moving, and there were still small crystal teardrops hanging on them.The corner of Gu Yan's mouth subconsciously curled into a happy smile.

Chu Xiao coughed twice in embarrassment, and said: "I changed my clothes yesterday, but I went to the place where Princess Qinghe's body was parked again, so..."

"Huh? Princess Qinghe didn't just die at noon yesterday. Why did the body decompose so quickly? Jing'an's body persisted for two days."

"What I want to say is the same. According to the state of the corpse after decay, and the smell, it is indeed exactly the same as Jing'an, but the time is much earlier."

"Then did someone go to destroy the corpse last night?" Ah Qing asked.

Chu Xiao shook his head: "There are one after another people who go to inquire about the situation, but they seem to only pay attention to the cause of Princess Qinghe's death and the progress of the case, and no one pays special attention to Princess Qinghe's body."

"That is to say, the clue is broken again?"

Gu Yan, who was silent for a long time, said: "Or, the murderer in the two cases is not the same person."

"If it's not the same person, why do they have the same means?"

"Since it's the same method, why does it take so long for the body to rot? Also, with the same method, Jing'an's body gets too much attention, but Princess Qinghe's body gets no attention?" Gu Yan asked rhetorically.

"That's because the emperor misled Jing'an's death from heart disease, so those people follow the trend. As long as Jing'an's body is cremated, they will not be found anyway. Princess Qinghe is different. .”

"So, the question still has to go back to the beginning, and that is to find the answer from the bodies of these two people."

"I read a lot of gossip about the autopsy last night, but I saw this kind of corpse in a book, but whether it's the same thing or not still needs some verification..."

Chu Xiao has been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for so many years, and he claims to be a good autopsy expert. No matter how suspicious the corpse is, he is sure to make them "speak". deep suspicion.

"Master Lao Chu is here."

"This is a matter of my duty, it should be. It's just that I can't guarantee that I will get a definite answer. Hey, it seems that the case has reached a bottleneck before the investigation has started. What should we do next? ?”

Chu Xiao has one head and two big ones.This is the first case assigned by the Holy Majesty after he was promoted to be the Minister of Punishment. If it is not handled properly, wouldn't it be...

"Master Chu, don't worry about other things, just look for clues from the corpse." Gu Yan said.

"Alright."

After seeing off Chu Xiao, Gu Yan asked someone to invite Li Mu and Ji Fei.

"Jinzhi/Major General, let me tell you..." The two opened their mouths in unison when they saw Gu Yan.

"Oh, let me talk first, I'm in a hurry." Ji Fei pushed forward.

"I'm still in a hurry, let me say it first!" Li Mu pushed Ji Fei back again, and rubbed against Gu Yan.

"Jinzhi, guess who I saw yesterday?" Li Mu looked mysterious.

"Who is it?" Ah Qing kindly cooperated with him.

"Heyang!"

"Tch, yesterday there was a martial arts competition in Shangqing Garden, everyone went to watch the fun, it's not unusual for you to see anyone." Ji Fei rolled his eyes.

"What do you know? When I say this, I must have seen something unusual. I saw He Yang and the second brother sneaking around, and I don't know what they were talking about. It seems that He Yang gave something back to the second brother. You guys We all know that He Yang was raised by the empress, when the elder brother of the prince was around, He Yang often used the power of the elder brother to fight against her."

"Later, Heyang got married, and his temperament changed drastically. He didn't move around much with the queen, but he didn't get so close to the second emperor brother. You know, Heyang's biological mother died because of Concubine Zhou. Years ago, how has Heyang ever treated Concubine Zhou's mother and son in a good light?"

"People will change. Princess Heyang's temperament is already unpredictable. Besides, after Heyang was born, Concubine Yi left. Although she was the biological mother, she didn't have much affection. If there is anything involved Benefits, with He Yang's temperament, do you think she would give up the benefits that should belong to her for a biological mother whom she has never met?" Ji Fei's IQ suddenly went online.

"It is said that there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests! Besides, all the discussions in the capital are about the case of Princess Qinghe, why are you mentioning Princess Heyang?"

"Heyang has always admired Jinzhi, and it's not like you don't know that she failed to marry into the General's Mansion back then, and now she's jealous of Princess Qinghe's chance to get married, so it's not impossible to take personal revenge." Li Mu argued.

"Princess Qinghe herself has said that she will not make peace with the young general."

"But once a woman becomes jealous, she doesn't care what the outcome is."

The two of you said one sentence to another, and they argued for a long time, but they couldn't argue for a reason.

"So, what you mean is that because of jealousy, Princess Heyang joined hands with the second prince to kill Princess Qinghe?" Ah Qing concluded.

Thinking about how she always looks crazy every time she sees Princess Heyang, Ah Qing deeply thought that she would definitely be able to do such a thing.

Li Mu nodded: "Yes. Brother Erhuang has Shandong Zhou's family behind him as a pocketbook and the Ming family's military power, and now he has great influence in the court. Therefore, no matter what, Father Huang can't ask Brother Erhuang to fight with him again. What does Nan Tang have to do with it?"

"Brother Erhuang naturally knows this truth very well. What you can't get yourself, you must never let others get it. Therefore, if He Yang asks Brother Erhuang to join forces to kill Princess Qinghe, and then blame others casually afterward, wouldn't it be It's not a multiplicity!"

Although Li Mu has made up so many things out of nothing just based on the private meeting between He Yang and Li Duan, what he said may not be impossible.

At least, with Li Duan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to sit still and watch Princess Qinghe marry someone else.

"Since Princess Qinghe came to the capital, except for the two palace banquets, she has been staying in the post house all the time, never going out, let alone making enemies with others. The only thing related to Princess Qinghe in going to the capital is the marriage. So In my opinion, Princess Qinghe's death must have been done by one of the several princes." Li Mu still insisted on what he thought.

"Oh, by the way, His Highness the Seventh Prince seems to be one of the princes, so you are also suspected!" Ji Fei sneered.

Li Mu said angrily: "You don't know me yet, I don't want to fight for that seat, besides, I, I don't want to marry Princess Qinghe either!"

"Oh, I'm teasing you, what are you in a hurry for?"

"What His Royal Highness said is not unreasonable. From this point of view, the second prince is the most suspicious." Ah Qing said.

"Hmph, this second prince has a human face and a beast's heart, double-faced and three swords, full of evil, countless hairs, and utterly devoid of conscience! That is the crow's launching into the water, blackened the intestines. The loofah in August, blackened the heart!"

When mentioning the second prince, Ji Fei suddenly started scolding someone without any warning, and he scolded clearly.

"I said Ah Fei, although the second emperor always bullies me, you don't have to scold me so badly, you are like this, how can I face the dark second emperor in the future." Li Mu said so, but in fact Already smiling.

Ji Fei glared at him: "I'm not doing it for you, major general, this is a letter my elder brother asked me to send to you! If you hadn't always interrupted me, I would have shown it to the major general."

Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, these two people never forget to quarrel.But when he saw the contents of the letter, his smile froze instantly.

Li Mu and Ji Fei, who were still arguing, felt the air around them turn cold.

"A Fei, what exactly did you write in your elder brother's letter, what about the Major General..."

Ji Fei has always been open-minded. He also saw Li Yang with his own eyes last night, and he also knew that the person who killed brother Ah Qing back then was the Second Prince.

If it was the past, he would definitely tell Li Mu like pouring beans.But it's about the year, it's about Brother Ah Qing, it's about his elder brother's innocence, when everything is still unclear, he can't say anything!

"Major General, I will leave now that the letter has been delivered. Also, I will hand over the cold moon steel whip to Gu Ting."

After Ji Fei finished speaking, he pulled Li Mu, who was in a daze, and left.

During the time that Ah Qing was by Gu Yan's side, she knew him well.His appearance today must be related to that young general Xue Qing.

He didn't want to disturb him, and quietly got up to leave, but Gu Yan pressed him down.Then fell into a trembling embrace without warning.

"Ah Qing, don't go..."
