Chapter 526(1/2)
Zhan Zhao recognizes that he is declining, but it is another matter for three murders in just two days.
Zhan Zhao and others entered the palace with Zhao Pu, and asked as they walked, "Who died in the palace?"
Zhao Pu seemed to think this matter was quite strange, "A manager of Longtu Pavilion."
"Longtu Pavilion?" Everyone was shocked.
"Are there any books in the Dragon Tu Pavilion?" Zhan Zhao asked hurriedly.
Zhao Pu was stunned, "Ah? You mean someone stole books and killed the manager? Then who knows... so many books and files in Longtu Pavilion."
"Is the corpse so strangely dead?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "How is it strange?"
"Is there anything stuck on my neck?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Zhao Pu shook his head, "No, I thought I had fallen to death by accident, but Doctor Wang took a look and said that he would notify Kaifeng Mansion, he was beaten to death by someone."
Gongsun heard this and nodded, "If Doctor Wang said this, there should be no problem."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. If they hadn't died of a strange thing on their neck, it would have nothing to do with the previous two cases. But they died in the Dragon Tu Pavilion... They were so coincidental that they wanted to go to the Dragon Tu Pavilion to find the list of that year.
When everyone arrived at Longtu Pavilion, they saw that Doctor Wang was there, and Lord Bao was there too.
Doctor Wang was next to the body. The old Doctor liked Gongsun the most in his life. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly called him over. Without saying a word, he stuffed an orange into his hand, and didn't know where the orange came from.
Zhao Pu put down Xiao Sizi, who carried the small medicine box and ran over with Gongsun. Doctor Wang continued to stuff oranges.
Zhan Zhao arrived at Lord Bao and briefly explained what happened this morning.
Lord Bao frowned and asked Bao Yan and Pang Yu to go in with the other two managers to find out if there were any books lost.
Bai Yutang glanced at the corpse... The old man died, and he was not young anymore. The people in charge of Longtu Pavilion were all old and had no fight with the world on weekdays. It shouldn't be a revenge.
Gongsun untied the deceased's clothes and glanced at it, and turned around and told everyone, "I will kill you with a palm on my chest, and I will start quickly."
Chunhua often came to Longtu Pavilion to meet this old man, "Isn't this Uncle Yang!"
Lin Xiao obviously knew him, and stomped his feet, "Who is so cruel to do such a vicious move..."
Zhao Pu held his arms and looked at the scene in a mess, and asked Bai Yutang, who was also standing outside to see the situation, "What do you think?"
Bai Yutang said, "Don't you lose your reading?"
"Where isn't lost?" Zhao Pu continued to ask. The Ninth Prince has not been there for most of the day and doesn't know what happened.
"It probably has nothing to do with the case."
"What's lost?" the prince continued to ask.
Bai Yutang looked at Longtu Pavilion, "Uncle Yang accidentally bumped into the murderer who came to steal the book, but was killed and silenced."
Zhao Pu frowned, "Is the old man dead in vain?"
"It's probably a coincidence that I saw the murderer..."
As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Longtu Gregory and Bao Yan hurriedly ran out, "It's gone! The file is gone!"
Lord Bao frowned, "What file?"
"All the student lists in the Taixue School have been lost!" Bao Yan was excited.
The other managers of the Dragon Tu Pavilion behind him also felt puzzled, "Why are you stealing that thing?"
Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "What about the files related to the murder case of the old Jin family house back then?"
Everyone was stunned.
Baoyan quickly turned back and returned.
Not long after, he ran out, "It's gone!"
Everyone looked at each other - it was indeed related to the old Jin family house.
At this time, Nangong ran over. Perhaps Zhao Zhen knew that there was a murder in the palace and asked him to take a look.
To be precise, the Longtu Pavilion does not belong to the jurisdiction of the palace's guards, but it is indeed within the scope of the palace, so it is naturally not easy to enter and exit. The murderer must be a person with high martial arts skills.
Nangong Ji found the nearby guards responsible for patrol, but no one noticed any abnormality.
There are many managers in Longtu Pavilion, and there are three people on duty every time. There are two other people with Uncle Yang today.
Longtu Pavilion is locked up on weekdays. The three of them mainly repair files and books in the management room in front. When someone comes to find the files, they help bring them in to find them. Because the books are huge in the Longtu Pavilion, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the books. To enter the Longtu Pavilion, there must be a document from Baodi. In addition, checking the files requires a token from Kaifeng Prefecture or approval from Dali Temple, and Lin Xiao's documents can also be entered, because students from the Imperial Academy can borrow books from Longtu Pavilion, but they cannot enter the area where the files are stored. In short, the management is very strict.
Nangong brought Zhao Zhen's oral order, asking Bao Zheng to investigate thoroughly and never let the murderer go.
Lord Bao asked Zhan Zhao to bring more people and thoroughly investigate the old Jin family house. He went back to Kaifeng Prefecture first and asked the dynasty Ma Han to gather the servants of the Jin family who were still alive to Kaifeng Prefecture, and he wanted to ask questions.
Pang Yu hugged his arms and asked Master Lin in a low voice, "Oh, old man, aren't there a list of students from the Imperial Academy hidden in three places? Where is the other place? Let's start first!"
Gongsun also nodded, "Yes, don't be taken first again."
Master Lin said, "That place should not be lost..."
"Where is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
Master Lin said, "The Emperor's Study."
Everyone touched their chins - this... should be safe.
Seeing that everyone was going to see Zhao Zhen, Master Lin handed over the new student's list to Zhan Zhao and said, "You can submit it to the emperor for help."
Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Master, don't you go?"
Master Lin sighed, looked at the body of Uncle Yang who was about to send him to Kaifeng Prefecture for autopsy, and waved his hand, "Oh, I'm gone, I'll go back to the Imperial Academy first."
Everyone watched the old master turn and walk out, with a dim expression.
Lin Xiao looked at everyone, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He quickly followed and went back with Master Lin.
Pang Yu frowned, "Young man has suffered a lot of blows again."
"Many people have died recently, and the study room has been burned. Maybe I'm a little worried." Chunhua also nodded.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also frowned slightly.
At this time, the two of them had similar thoughts - Master Lin seemed a little strange. Did he think of something?
Zhao Pu was curious, who was the young man behind Lin Xiao? He looked good with a good kung fu, did he hire a bodyguard?
"Dad, are we going to the Emperor?" Xiao Sizi asked, holding Gongsun's hand.
Everyone came to their senses.
Gongsun nodded, "Yes."
"Let's go see Xiangxiang." The little Sizi took Gongsun's hand and ran away.
Everyone turned to the palace.
Zhao Pu seemed to be interested in the case, so he followed Gongsun and Xiaosizi and asked what was going on.
When he arrived at the entrance of the garden where Zhao Zhen’s study was located, the Ninth Prince roughly understood the murders that occurred in the past two days, and sighed, “This murderer has a strong taste…”
At the entrance of the garden, there were naturally a large inner guard guards. However, when they saw the little fourth son running in front, the guards did not communicate, so they let them in. It can be seen that Zhao Zhen had ordered that the little fourth son could enter as he please.
Everyone glanced at the little four son silently again - It's so good... look at the treatment.
As soon as the little Sizi entered the door, a voice came, "Little Persimmon!"
Everyone judged the softness of the sound and found that it was fragrant.
Looking again, Xiangxiang had already pounced on Xiao Sizi. Pang Yu, who also ran out to hug her niece, stomped his feet, "You two can't understand clearly, you two!" Before he finished speaking, Bao Yan kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhao Zhen was standing in the yard and yawning. Everyone obviously saw that his eyes were lit a little, and his eyes seemed to say - I was bored, and it was fun.
Everyone inexplicably understood the reason why Master Lin Xiao didn't want to come. His friend had just died, so he must not be in the mood to tease Zhao Zhen at this moment.
Zhao Zhen took the list given to him by Zhan Zhao, smiled helplessly, and asked, "Did Master Lin be angry with me for the exchanges in the Fourth Court?"
Everyone looked at him silently - they knew you still agreed, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
"Master Lin seems to be in a dilemma." Zhan Zhao spoke for Lin Xiao. At the same time, he also felt that although Zhao Zhen likes to watch the fun, he is not confused. He respects Lin Xiao very much and should not sincerely cause trouble for him.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said with great ease, "It's okay, he can handle it."
Zhao Pu asked Gongsun curiously, "What temple exchanges? Are monks having a meeting?"
Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu helplessly.
Zhao Zhen looked through the directory and asked Zhan Zhao what the group of people came to do, and whether he was looking for a list of students from the Taixue class.
Zhan Zhao nodded. Sure enough, Zhao Zhen was full of Zhao Zhen's eyeliners everywhere in the palace. Zhao Zhen probably knew the conversation they had at the entrance of Longtu Pavilion, but that was true. After all, everyone died in the palace, so it would be strange if Zhao Zhen didn't know.
"Oh..." Zhao Zhen sighed, "Which era do you want to find a list of?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen spread his hands, "It's only within ten years."
"What about it earlier?" Zhao Pu wondered.
