Yi Xiao Chuan

Chapter 10 Three Kingdoms Struggle for Corpse
In the alley not far from the entrance of the west city, a group of people pointed and whispered in a circle.

In the center of the circle lies a male corpse in brown clothes. The blood dripping from the corner of his mouth has dried up. His right hand is half a foot in front of his head, and he is in a writing posture. There are two bloody characters on the ground: Qi Yue.

The Yue characters are very scribbled, as if written with the last effort.

"This attire is from the Vientiane Kingdom," someone whispered.

"The clothes belong to the Vientiane Kingdom, but this figure belongs to the Baihe Kingdom," someone carefully objected.

"No, no, it should be from the White Rhinoceros Kingdom. Didn't you see the word Qi Yue written on it?"

"Qiyue may be the city where the murderer is located."

……

When people were discussing, the sound of trampling horseshoes sounded not far away, accompanied by the officers and soldiers yelling loudly: "Get out of the way, Master Ziche is here!" The men and horses in black and black armor blinked to the side of the crowd With a bang, he got out of the way.

As soon as the guard finished speaking, another group of men and horses in white clothes and armor came from the opposite side. The guard shouted: "Master Mu is here. Idle people disperse!" The crowd moved aside again and squeezed to both sides of the wall.

Zi Che's Art of War stopped and cupped his hands at the opposite side: "Master Mu is super fast!"

The white-clothed official on the opposite side cupped his hands in return: "Where is it, it's not as good as Mr. Zi Che."

After being polite, the two squatted down together to look at the dead bodies in the street.

The dust on the ground jumped and flew up, and the huge tremor was like an earthquake.There was a commotion in the crowd, and the horses neighed uneasily, shaking their heads and blowing breath, trying to break free from the reins.

Ziche Bingfa and Mu Yuanyuan both stood up and stared at the intersection.

A group of colossal animals suddenly appeared, and with the majestic cry of the elephants, every time the pillar-like legs of the elephant took a step, the ground shook.The crowd of onlookers began to back away.For fear of being wrapped under the elephant's legs and being trampled into flesh.

In the narrow alleyway, there is no place to turn around, and the elephant can only stop at the intersection.

On the high seat on the elephant's back, an official in brown clothes held the guard's hand and stepped down on the stool.

From a distance, he cupped his hands towards Zi Che and Mu Yuan, "Master Zi Che, Master Mu, it's late to come down."

Ziche returned the gift and said: "I didn't expect to alarm Mr. Zong, you are a hard worker." Ziche intentionally elongated the word "heavy".

"Hey, both adults are here, how can I not come?"

On the surface, the three of them were courteous and courteous to each other, but in fact they kept thinking in their hearts.

There have been rumors in the market for a long time that there will be a war in Huju City, but I don't know which side is against which side, and when will it start? For a while, people are panicked, and the forces of all parties are ready to move.

There are also street fights on weekdays, and folks seek revenge and die, most of them are handled by Zi Che's military law.At this sensitive moment, a homicide unexpectedly alarmed the guards of the three kingdoms at the same time.Everyone wants to find clues about the war from the murder incident as soon as possible.

Since the three parties have their own thoughts, this case is no different than others, and needs to be dealt with more carefully.Ziche is particularly worried, and if he doesn't handle it well, this may be the fuse that directly leads to the war.

Who knows if this case was deliberately planned by someone?
The foreign guards who were indifferent to all the cases before and never intervened, but this time they heard the news very rarely, which is really unusual and intriguing.

Zong Shoudao, who arrived late, was the first to speak: "My lords, the deceased was a member of my Vientiane country at a glance. The reason why my country was killed is that my country will preside over the investigation of the case. I hope the two lords will be considerate."

Mu Yuanyuan said calmly, "Lord Zong, you rushed to grab the presiding judge's right before you got your feet firmly on your feet. Could it be that there is something shady behind your back?"

Zong Shoudao's face was a bit ugly after being choked like this, and he argued: "I love the people like a son, and seeing that the victim is a citizen of my country, I am naturally eager to protect the people."

"Lord Zong, Zi Che asks you, how did you conclude that it was a homicide before you took a closer look at the deceased? How did you conclude that you were a citizen of the Vientiane Kingdom? Could it be that you knew in advance that there would be a murder?" Zi Che asked without losing the opportunity.

"Well, do you need to look at it? He is wearing the Vientiane Kingdom costume, and he is clearly a national of our country. His corpse is lying on the street in broad daylight. Could it be suicide?" Zong Shoudao became anxious at the sight.

Mu Yuanyuan said unhurriedly: "Master Zong, let's not say whether he killed him or not. Although this person wears the clothes of the Vientiane Kingdom, his body and shape are actually from our Baihe Kingdom. Just like what Master Zong did, this official also treats the people as they are." Since such a bad incident happened, I should act for the people and avenge the deceased. As for why I wore the clothes of the Vientiane Kingdom, I will find out when I return to the corpse and examine it carefully."

Zi Che sneered at the side and said, "You two sirs are really joking. Why are two people from other countries allowed to open a trial on the territory of the White Rhinoceros?"

Zong and Mu said in unison: "This is a city shared by the three kingdoms, how can it be the land of the White Rhinoceros?"

"The two adults are really forgetful. This Huju City is the acropolis of my Qiyue City. Ten years ago, before the two of you entered the city, you got the warrant of our General Qi, right? How did you forget it so quickly?"

"What's wrong with making decisions for the people of this country?" Zong Shoudao continued to defend.

"My lord Zong, I have already said that this is the White Rhinoceros Country. Qiyue written by the deceased is related to the safety of Qiyue City and Huju City. Zi Che is the guardian of one side, and he must find out the truth! Obstruction, don't blame Zi Chezhi for obstructing official duties."

Zong Shoudao and Mu Yuan saw that Zi Che acted like the right master, knowing that he was not someone to be messed with.Although this Huju city is small, the people sent by various countries to be guards are not idle people.Openly arguing about yourself may not be able to take advantage of yourself.It became silent for a while.

Seeing that the two adults were silent, Zi Che shouted for Wu Zuo to come up for an autopsy and record. After recording, the guards carried the body to the superintendent's morgue.

Zi Che Bingfa cupped his hands: "My lords, farewell!" After finishing speaking, he shouted at the guards: "Let's go!" He got on his horse and walked away with the guards.

When he was busy, Wei Tianheng took people to the street corner, and someone had already rushed up to whisper something in his ear.Wei Tianheng's face changed drastically after hearing this.

He glanced at the middle of the alleyway, but his gaze was blocked by a gorgeously decorated elephant.

Before the guards led by Zi Che's Art of War came to the front, there were guards far away who ordered Wei Tianheng and the others to get out of the way.Wei Tianheng hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped aside slowly, watching the guards walking past him carrying the stretcher.

Perhaps Wei Tianheng's bald head was too conspicuous. When Zi Che Bingfa passed by him, he caught this man's slightly angry expression out of the corner of his eye.But he didn't take a second look at Wei Tianheng, and rode past calmly as usual.

After the guards entered the avenue, Zi Che Bingfa called a guard and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The guard nodded and rode away.

That night, three fast horses left the city gate and galloped in three directions.
