Chapter 137 When I Have No One in the Han Dynasty?
After hearing Yun Xi's analysis, Captain Sun was thinking.
Yunxi continued: "As a clever killer, you must never allow the target to splash too much blood.
First, it is easy to splash on oneself. Second, it is also a taboo to get too much bloody smell.
So they will look for the key points of the target. Even if they see blood, they will not be everywhere like they are now.
Therefore, I concluded that the other party was not a professional killer, but should be a figure in the martial arts world.”
"Awesome, Lord Yun is indeed a master of Shence Mansion..."
Captain Sun said sincerely.
In fact, these principles are not profound once they are explained.
But many people just can't imagine it, and this is a subtle achievement.
"Where is the corpse of General Lu and his two men now?"
“In another wing room.”
"Take us to see."
"yes!"
Not long after, the two saw the corpse of General Lu and his concubine.
General Lu's death was that his throat was cut by someone, and his concubine was cut through the chest with one knife.
Now, Lu Ming also saw the problem, and it really didn't look like a professional killer.
Yunxi carefully checked the wound, then looked through his eyelids and looked carefully for a while...
Finally, he said: "Okay, let's go to the Shangshu Mansion again."
Afterwards, the two came to the Shangshu Mansion again...
The result was still similar. Shen Shangshu has been a man of both civil and military since childhood, but he was still fatal, and his death was the same as General Lu.
Yunxi checked and didn't say much. He took Gu Ming back to Shence Mansion first and found Chang Feng.
"I'm back so soon? But what's the discovery?"
"Sir, this case is not simple."
Yunxi said with a serious face.
"Tell me, look."
"According to the investigation of his subordinates, General Lu and Shangshu Shen seemed to be killed by people in the martial arts world, but his subordinates found that their pupils were abnormal, which was different from those of normal dead people.
This reminds my subordinates of a case from the previous year.
After bold speculation from his subordinates, the person who attacked was not necessarily from Central Plains, but from Western Regions..."
"Hmm? Western Regions?"
Chang Feng frowned.
"Yes, my subordinates speculate that the reason why General Lu and his two had no power to fight back was that they first captured the Western Regions magic, and then were killed with a knife, pretending to be the methods of the people in the Central Plains.
Of course, it is also possible that there are two people. The Western Regions first perform the art, and then the Central Plains people start to kill.
There were no traces left on the scene, indicating that the other party was a veteran and was prepared to wipe the traces on the scene completely."
Hearing these words, Chang Feng's face became even more serious.
"If they were really from the Western Regions, then... these two murders are not simple.
Recently, wars have continued in the northwest border, and the people of the Western Regions are ready to invade the border...
General Lu has always been the chief general guarding the west, and Shangshu Shen is also one of the important officials in charge of war.
Could it be that those Western Regions want to create chaos?”
"After this analysis, I'm afraid the other party really has such an intention."
"No, I have to check it myself and leave!"
It was of great importance, and Chang Feng did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately took Gu Ming and the others to Zhenyuan Hou Mansion again.
This time, the three of them expanded the scope to search for clues.
Including the roof and the walls, it was not spared.
Sure enough, this expanded search finally found clues.
This time it was Gu Ming discovered...
He found several vague footprints above the courtyard wall on the west side of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
If footprints appear on the courtyard wall, this is definitely abnormal.
Although the other party was very careful and wiped out all traces as much as possible, the wise man made a mistake even if he was worried, and the other party still inevitably left clues.
After discovering the footprints, Gu Ming immediately notified Yunxi and Changfeng to come and check.
After careful examination by the three of them, it was finally determined that the other party was two, which basically proved Yunxi's speculation that the other party was probably a native of the Western Regions and a native of the Central Plains.
After discovering this, the three of them came to the Shangshu Mansion again.
This time, there are more obvious discoveries.
Two pairs of more obvious footprints were found after a bush in the backyard.
It seems that it is likely that the other party was sneaking, and a servant or a night-time person passed by, so the two of them stayed here for a while.
Somehow I ignored the traces of erasing.
Judging from the footprints, the other party was wearing the hard-soled cloth boots that are common in the world. This clue is not a clue. After all, this kind of boots is too popular.
However, the shoe print can roughly infer the shape of the other person.
One is tall and strong, the other is thin and small.
In this way, I can finally give an explanation, which is a preliminary clue.
But what was unexpected was that someone was killed that night...
The one who was killed this time was not the officials, but the officials' families.
The victim was a general's wife, and this general was a beloved general under General Lu, who was currently guarding the border and killing the enemy.
As a result, the other party's conspiracy has almost surfaced.
Chang Feng reported to the South Courtyard envoy and the Town Envoy respectively, and then took Gu Ming and Yunxi to the palace to meet the saint.
This was Gu Ming's first time entering the palace, so he was naturally a little excited.
Sure enough, the palace is so big that it is amazing.
Along the way, palace maids coming and going everywhere, not only did they say that they were beautiful, but they could hardly find ugly ones.
After all, these palace maids are selected, and at least they must be of medium appearance.
Moreover, palace maids also have strict age requirements. They usually enter the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, and must also undergo strict training.
Usually when you are in your twenties, you will almost receive a sum of silver from the palace.
It is changing every year.
Older palace maids are usually responsible for training, or some confidants around the empress.
In short, once you enter the palace, it is pleasing to the eye.
Of course, the eunuchs are excluded.
Members of the Shence House have a privilege to directly bring a knife into the harem.
In addition to Shence Mansion, there are also guards with swords in front of the imperial guards who can also bring swords into the harem.
However, even the guards with swords do not have the privileges of the Shence Mansion. The personnel of the Shence Mansion can enter and exit freely with the token, even in the middle of the night.
This is because the staff of the Shence House can be called the Da Nei Spy, and the emperor personally ordered it.
Even the palace ladies are not allowed to command them to do business at will.
"See the Emperor!"
After arriving at the Imperial Garden, the group greeted each other.
"My dear friends!"
"Your Majesty, I have important things to report on my humble duties."
"Well, wait and get out!"
The emperor shouted orders to the eunuchs, palace maids and guards.
The crowd responded and retreated from afar.
At this time, Chang Feng just talked about their discoveries and inferences.
"Based on these, the three men in the humble position have reason to suspect that this is the Western Regions who are making trouble behind the scenes and want to disrupt our army's morale, their intentions are punished!"
"Well, it makes sense. Since that's the case, I have to give them some color."
How is it normal for the emperor to be angry?
So, after some secret discussion, the emperor issued an oral order to fight back, so that the other party would suffer a loss, and to pay back twice as much!
Gu Ming and the other two received the order and left.
This time, they will go to the Western Regions to carry out secret missions.
On the one hand, we must collect information from the other party in all aspects and conspiracies in secret.
On the one hand, we must fight back and secretly kill the opponent's senior general. Otherwise, the opponent will be like the Han Dynasty.
