When the young man heard the news that his brother had been killed, he was completely stunned.
He pushed away Li Laizi's hand that was wrapping him in gauze, jumped out of bed, and grabbed He Zheng's arm tightly. His face turned white and the corners of his mouth trembled, "You, what did you say? What did you say about my brother?"
Already?"
He Zheng said directly: "I'll take you to see it."
He picked up the young man and took him out of Li Laizi's Pharmacy.
Zhou Gu did not follow him out, but looked at Li Laizi.
Li Laizi seemed to be confused, and he also walked quickly outside, saying repeatedly: "How is this possible?"
Although he was limping unsteadily, he was still walking very quickly. He followed He Zheng and the boy's shadow into the dark alley.
Feng Si was lying on the ground, and no one moved him until Wu Zuo came.
The young man saw his brother fall to the ground with his own eyes and his throat was sealed with a sword. He yelled "Brother" and was about to rush over, but He Zheng held him down and said, "Don't move him, we have to wait for the autopsy to be done."
The young man seemed to be stimulated by these autopsy words, tearing He Zheng apart and crying fiercely, "Let go of me, brother, brother!"
No matter how he shouted, Feng Si was dead and it was impossible to answer him.
Zhou Gu did not stop He Zheng from stopping the young man. Seeing Feng Si's death, Li Zizi also turned pale and sat down on the ground, "The person who was fine just now actually died."
Wu Zuo arrived soon, and the Imperial Guard stepped aside to allow Wu Zuo to conduct an autopsy.
The man who came was a well-known man in the capital. His surname was Song. He was in his thirties. After he arrived, he turned the four seals over and over, and handed them over to Zhou Gu and He Zheng.
A very fast thin sword with a sword to seal his throat. There was no fear on his face, as if he had been caught by surprise. There was no sign of a fight, which meant he was someone he knew. In addition, this person should be taller than Feng Si, and he wielded
When using the sword, it is in this position of the neck that one can kill with a precise sword strike."
He Zheng had let go of the boy at this time, and the boy threw himself on Feng Si's body, hugging him and crying bitterly.
He Zheng looked at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu knew that Song Wu had done something, so he naturally checked everything, and said to He Zheng: "Since we know people, let's check from the people he interacts with in daily life, from his family, to the imperial guards, to the people he knows.
people."
He Zheng nodded.
The young man had cried enough. He Zheng knelt down, looked at the young man and asked: "If you think about it carefully, the person who can call your brother out after shouting must be someone your brother is familiar with. Have you ever heard of your brother being unusual?"
Who do you often talk about?"
The young man's eyes were red and swollen, and he said in a hoarse voice: "My brother often talks about Commander He of the Guards, and there is no one else. My brother is on duty in the Guards. I go to school, and I don't have time to sit around for a lot of time.
Let's talk together. If I hadn't injured my leg this time, my brother wouldn't have taken leave."
He Zhengdao: "I am the Commander He you call. Your brother was involved in a case today. We came to ask him. He was killed before we found him. Apparently someone killed him to silence him. If you don't want to
Your brother's death is unclear, so you need to think carefully about it to provide us with some clues so that we can track down the real culprit."
The young man covered his head. Faced with the tragedy that one moment his relatives were carrying him to treat his legs and change dressings, and the next moment they died in front of him, he couldn't think of anything for a while, and his mind was buzzing.
Zhou Gu said: "Let's go, let's send him back first. As for Feng Si's body..." It should have been sent to the morgue, but since it was Song Wuzuo's autopsy body, there was no need to send it there, so he said:
"Take him to his house too."
I hope Feng Si's mother can hold on to the white-haired man and send him to the black-haired man, so that she can get some useful information from the boy.
The group of people returned to Feng Si's home. The old woman was already ill. When she saw that her son had been killed, what she brought back was a corpse. One of them couldn't hold on and fainted.
Li Laizi also followed. Seeing this, he hurriedly diagnosed and treated the woman. After struggling for a long time, the woman woke up and cried uncontrollably. Zhou Gu waited patiently until she had cried enough before he asked.
The old woman shook her head and said the same thing as what the young man said. Because Feng Si was filial and usually afraid of her being too pretentious, she only told her to take good care of her health and not to say anything else to her.
Almost no useful information can be obtained from the widowed mother and young brother.
He Zheng looked at Zhou Gu helplessly, "Fourth Young Master, Your Majesty is still waiting. Do you think you should report this matter to Your Majesty when you return to the palace, or..."
Zhou Gu took a look at the sky and said: "It's still early, so we are divided into two groups. You first check and screen the imperial guards under your command to see who else is not on duty today except Feng Si.
Then I will check the people in the Imperial Guard who are close friends with Feng Si to see what clues I can get. I will stay here and check Feng Si’s information and the people I have come into contact with in my life. Before dark
, you and I will go into the palace together to see His Majesty."
He Zheng nodded, "That's fine."
Zhou Gu stared at He Zheng again and added, "There should be countless people wanting to replace Commander He, but I believe that since Your Majesty trusts Commander He, he doesn't want you to be replaced. Commander He, do you understand what I mean?"
?”
He Zheng's heart trembled, and he said solemnly: "Fourth Young Master, don't worry, something like this happened to the Imperial Guards, and now someone has died. I will definitely not do anything stupid or cover up, otherwise I will be making a joke about my own future."
Already."
Zhou Gu nodded, "I also believe in Commander He."
He Zheng led the people to leave, and Zhou Gu told Midnight, "Check, in addition to this courtyard, we also need to go to the area around Li Quezi's pharmacy to inquire. Before we go to find Feng Si, see if anyone has seen anyone who has been to Li Quezi."
At the door of the drug store. If you don't miss any clues, you can always find useful clues."
It should be midnight.
Due to two cases in Beijing, both King Ruian and Zhou Gu were busy for a while. Although they were all related to Su Rong, Su Rong, the client, was very leisurely.
After King Ruian came out of the princess mansion, he did not immediately find Su Rong. Instead, he went to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen that he had contacted when the incident first occurred. Therefore, after Su Rong was sent back to the mansion by Ye Guixue, he went directly to his home.
I took a nap in the courtyard where I live.
Su Xingze returned to Shen Mansion from the Protector's Mansion and learned that Su Rong was taking a nap, so he found a book and sat in the painting hall waiting for her to wake up.
Su Rong slept for a long time, sleeping for half a day, and woke up just before dinner time. When she walked out of the room, she saw Su Xingze sitting there. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and followed
He said hello, "Brother, when did you come back?"
"I'll be back at noon." Su Xingze put down the book.
Su Rong scratched her head, wouldn't it mean that he came back soon after she fell asleep? She sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip, "Did Mr. Zhao explain it? Who instigated it?"
"Explained." Su Xingze briefly told what Zhou Gu had interrogated, and also mentioned that Zhou Gu had entered the palace.
Su Rong nodded, drank a cup of tea, and then said, "It has become another case involving the Imperial Guards, and people may die again. It is not that easy to investigate."
Su Xingze nodded, "Fengling has gone to inquire about it."
Speaking of Fengling, he happened to come back, entered the house, and said to the two of them: "Master, eldest son, guess what? Your Majesty's Imperial Guards have indeed found the person who approached Mr. Zhao last night. That person
It was called Feng Si, but after Young Master Zhou and Commander He Zheng led their men to pursue him, he was killed just one step ahead of them. Now Young Master Zhou and Commander He are leading their men to investigate.
Well, I'm afraid there won't be any results within a few days. This case has suddenly become a big case again."
There was a murder case involving the Imperial Guard, so it was naturally a major case.
Su Rong heard this and said, "Please tell me in detail."
Fengling told all the details that she had heard through the spying, and then said: "Young master Zhou found a very precious medicinal material from Feng Si's mother's medicine dregs. Feng Si's little monthly money cannot support him at all.
He can afford it, but Feng Si has been supporting him for more than a year, and he still has spare money for his younger brother to study, which shows that he has other sources of money, and he is now investigating step by step."
"What medicine?"
"Gastrodia elata."
Su Rong nodded, "Where are the Imperial Guards?"
Feng Ling said: "The Imperial Guard also gained something. He Zheng found out that three people have asked for leave today. One of them is Ding Man. He is a person who has a good relationship with Feng Si. He was the one who was escorting Zhao Zhao when Young Master Zhou and He Zheng were escorting him.
Before Lao'er and Zhao Fei entered the palace, he suddenly suffered from severe abdominal pain. The deputy commander ordered him to go to the doctor quickly, but he actually did not go to the doctor, but disappeared. Judging from the time, this person may have called Feng Si out.
Kill those who have been sealed for four years.”
Su Rong speculated, "The person who was able to get the news as soon as Zhou Gu kidnapped Mr. Zhao and Zhao Fei entered the palace, anticipated what might happen in advance, and killed them all, must have been keeping an eye on them."
If there is any news about the Lord Protector and he can reach out to the Imperial Army, otherwise he would not contact Timon immediately and order him to take action. This person is very smart and has great abilities."
After all, the emperor has great power and holds his own guards very tightly. Under such circumstances, there are still people who dare to reach out to the guards, which shows that they are brave and can get close to the palace guards.
Su Rong asked Su Xingze, "Brother, who can easily get close to the Imperial Guards?"
"Princes, important ministers of the third rank or above in the court, and relatives of the emperor are all possible." Su Xingze said.
Su Rong shrugged, "Okay, the scope is quite large."
Indeed, as Fengling said, this case will not be solved in a few days.
