Chapter 554 Even if
Three kills a day.
But the day has not ended yet, and even the morning has not ended.
A normal person may do something shocking when he goes crazy. If a madman goes crazy, what else will he have to worry about?
Han Huanzhi sat down and looked at Chen Leng: "I blatantly wanted to kill you and involve you on the table. Now everyone in Chang'an knows that those people died because of you. Even if you are innocent, there will be some different voices in the court. Those adults will say to His Majesty, if it weren't for Chen Leng, would so many people die?"
Chen Leng knew that what Han Huanzhi said was not funny at all, and the big men in the court could really say such words.
Han Huanzhi leaned back: "Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the Censorate, Lai Cheng hasn't resigned yet."
Although it was indeed a bit wrong to smile at this time, the Censorate said, "Don't worry," Ye Liuyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Apart from Lord Lai's mouth, you don't have to care much about anything else."
Han Huanzhi said: "I just need to figure out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from Liuyunhui came up and said that Geng Shan, the Thousand Office of the Tingwei Mansion, asked for a meeting.
"Just let her come up directly."
After Ye Liuyun finished giving the order, he smiled and said to Han Huanzhi, "Your confidante."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Han Huanzhi glared at him, and Ye Liuyun became more and more unreasonable, and she said that it was easy to change the country and nature was difficult to change... Daning was always solid, but it was true that those who were cold were getting cheaper.
Soon, Geng Shan ran up from the downstairs and leaned over and clasped her fists: "Sir, something happened again. A sixth-rank official who led a team to investigate the case was attacked at the scene of the murder of the military officers in the west of the city. The murderer shot through the neck of the official of the Ministry of Justice with a crossbow arrow more than ten meters away. The crossbow arrows were wiped with snake venom on the crossbow arrows. The human beings had not been able to do so for a long time. The crossbow arrows themselves shot through the blood vessels, and they could not be rescued without poison."
“It’s a waste of time.”
Han Huanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Most people in the world don't bother to use poison. Whether they are secret or explicit, they think that using poison is not glorious. However, some people like to use it. The most widely used one is the southern Qiang people on the West Shu Road. When the Chu State attacked northwest and attacked the Qiang people to split a number of branches. Most Qiang people continued to flee westward and entered the desert of the Western Regions. Some ran south to the south and drilled into the 100,000 mountains on the Shu Road. The southern Qiang people liked to use snake venom most, because this thing was the best thing in the mountains."
Han Huanzhi: "If you don't wipe the snake venom, you can't start. If you wipe the snake venom, although you may not be the Nanqiang people on the Western Shu Road, you have a clue... Geng Shan, please remind Yue Dufeng and ask him to focus on checking whether there are any Nanqiang people who came from the Western Shu Road a while ago."
"yes."
Geng Shan agreed and turned around and left.
"I don't know the Nan Qiang people."
Chen Leng shook his head: "I don't know any one."
Han Huanzhi: "The people of Nan Qiang act differently from those of the Central Plains. It may not be because you know anyone among them, nor because you have a grudge with them. They have a stubborn idea and are incredible... When I first entered the Tingwei Mansion, I went to Xishu Road to do things. I happened to encounter a case. It was very simple. A Nan Qiang man cut off a Ningren's head and hung it in his own room. I asked why, and the official in charge of the case told me that Nan Qiang The old man and the old man Ningren are good friends. The old man Ningren is a poet who travels around the world. After arriving at the place where the Nanqiang people live, he actually thought this place is good, with beautiful mountains and rivers, simple folk customs, and it is the place that is closest to nature, so he stayed there for twenty years. The Nanqiang people have a bad mind, and most of the poet who travels around the world are not normal. After living for twenty years, he suddenly missed his family and said that if I don’t go back, my family will be crazy..."
Chen Leng said: "It would be crazy to be crazy."
Han Huanzhi continued, "So he said goodbye to the old man Nan Qiang who had lived for twenty years, saying that he was going back. The old man Nan Qiang said it was okay, just leave me something, I miss you and take a look. Before the poet Yunyou asked what it was, the old man Nan Qiang killed him, cut off his head and hung it in the house. He would say a few words back and forth, just like talking and chatting with a living person."
Chen Leng couldn't help but shivered.
But it was Han Huanzhi who finished talking so casually that it made people feel creepy.
Old man Nan Qiang didn’t think it was a murder, but he just thought that what happened to him was a part of his friends?
Ye Liuyun took a sip of tea: "If you find out that it is a Nan Qiang people, you may have been bribed. The person who has a grudge against you has taken advantage of the Nan Qiang people."
"Wait and see."
Han Huanzhi closed her eyes: "The hatred on the Ministry of Justice cannot be suppressed."
Before dark, news came again that another sixth-rank official from the Ministry of Justice who led the team to investigate the case was killed during the investigation in Nancheng. No one saw the ferocious beast, nor did he leave any blood. As he walked, he stopped for no reason, raised his hand and touched his neck. A poisonous steel nail was nailed into his neck, which was thicker than a needle. The nail completely entered his neck, and the person died soon.
“This is different from the previous one.”
Chen Leng stood up: "I'll go to Nancheng to check it out, it should be close."
Han Huanzhi nodded: "Don't go anywhere, just stay here... I have mentioned to His Majesty that Concubine Zhen should guard Miss Cha'er, and do not let them go back to the general's mansion for the time being."
Chen Leng: "That made me look scared."
Han Huanzhi: "Why care?"
He stood up and pressed Chen Leng on his shoulder and pressed him back: "I'll go, the south of the city must be close to the temporary residence of those people, and he was shocked..."
Han Huanzhi left Yingxin Building and went to Nancheng. He didn't come back the next morning and found nothing.
"I checked it all night and borrowed people from other departments to check the registration of the entrance to the city in Chang'an City this month. One day and one night, there was no Nanqiang people who searched for the registration of nearly 300 people. There was no Nanqiang people for a whole month, not a single one. I have arranged for people to continue to go through the city gates. The registration of entering and leaving Chang'an City is only retained for three months, because there are too many places, and those who have gone through within three months may find something."
He looked a little tired.
Chen Leng got up and soon came in with a tray.
"I made a few trays of buns in the morning. Mr. Ye and I have eaten them. I thought that Lord Han would come again, so all these are still hot for you."
Han Huanzhi smiled, took the tray, and ate two bowls of porridge and a tray of buns into her stomach, and her spirits were relieved.
"If nothing unexpected happens, all in and out registrations will be checked within three months."
He put down his bowls and chopsticks: "Before I came, I ordered to keep a close eye on all the people coming from the Western Shu Road. Even if there is not a single Nan Qiang person, it would be fine to keep an eye on more."
Chen Leng nodded: "I think about it all over and over, it seems that there are not many people who are still thinking about killing me..."
