dead……

murderer……

A gust of yin came to his face, and the shopkeeper of Baishifang twitched, and smiled awkwardly, "General, don't make fun of grassroots people... Strong twisted melons are not sweet, and Quan has never mentioned grassroots people. Please forgive me, forgive me." ..."

He bowed his hands as if begging for mercy, and walked to the side.

Gu Cheng and the others looked at each other with a smile, and looked at Su Rao. Li Cheng actually bought "The Picture of the Moon in the Cold Mountain" and said that he would give it to his mentor. It seems that there must be entanglement between the two of them.

It's just that Li Cheng is missing. Is it inescapable that he is involved in the case, absconded in fear of crime, or something unknown happened?

Everyone wondered secretly.

After a while, the Taixue servant came back and brought back a few students, "It's strange to say that these people all disappeared in the past few days. Li Cheng and Du Yong haven't shown up since the 21st."

"They have a good relationship with Li Cheng. If there is anything the supervisor wants to ask, just ask them."

Pu She took two steps back to make room.

Su Rao took a closer look and found that they were all familiar faces, basically seen outside Suzaku's door, and they couldn't help feeling guilty when they saw Su Rao recalling the past.

Each of them bowed their heads like quails.

"I'm not looking for you this time to settle accounts. I want to know a thing or two about Li Cheng."

Su Rao said straight to the point, as soon as these words came out, several students raised their heads one after another, and one of them said, "What do you want to know?"

"I remember your name is Zhang Ke, and you were born in Jimo, Jizhou."

She revealed his identity in one word, Zhang Ke was a little nervous, swallowed, and replied: "Yes."

"Do you know about Li Cheng's purchase of "Mountain Habitat for the Moon" in Baishifang?"

After the words fell, Zhang Ke's eyes flickered, "I know, I know."

"Is it for Mr. Xu Chen?"

Su Rao asked again: "Master Xu has been an official for many years, and he doesn't care about foreign affairs. How could Li Cheng think of sending him a painting? This painting is not cheap."

After she finished speaking, Zhang Ke turned her head away, "I don't know."

"is it?"

Su Rao didn't even need to analyze such an obvious expression, she knew he was lying, and then she glanced at Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng sneered and said, "This matter is related to a murder case, you should think it through before you speak, don't ruin your good intentions in a moment of anger future."

He raised the long knife abruptly, revealing half of the cold blade.

The threat is self-evident.

Zhang Ke turned to look at him when he heard the sound, and when his eyes touched the blade, he trembled invisibly, his face turned blue and red, and after a while, he looked at Su Rao with a bitter face.

"It's not that I don't want to say..."

It's embarrassing to say that.

Su Rao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Is it related to me?"

She had guessed it all, and Zhang Ke had no reason to hide it any longer. He nodded and said, "After Suzakumen came back that day, Li Cheng refused to be reconciled. He decided to make you look good."

"After much deliberation, I chose Mr. Xu, who used to teach at the Imperial College, and occasionally gave lectures at Taixue. He valued Li Cheng very much. Li Cheng said that with Mr. Xu's influence among literati, as long as he is willing to come forward, You will definitely not be able to get good fruit to eat."

People who are old like that and have been pedantic all their lives are mostly pedantic and old-fashioned. They don't allow women to be officials and corrupt the norms.

Su Rao was speechless for a while.

After co-authoring and checking, is it related to her?
"Is there anything unusual about Li Cheng before he disappeared?"

Su Rao asked.

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhang Ke said: "After he bought that painting, he just said that he likes it, and let us wait and see the excitement."

"Then left and never came back."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Rao with an uneasy expression. Since the last confrontation, he had an indescribable awe and fear for this young female prison order, and carefully asked: "He hasn't heard from him for several days. , something must have happened..."

A big living person went to find Xu Chen, but Xu Chen died.

People also disappeared.

They have been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, and they have a bad premonition.

Su Rao didn't say much, but told them not to move around in the near future, and they might be called for questioning again.

The students clapped their hands and said yes.

Taixue Pushe sent Su Rao and the others out all the way, and before leaving, he solemnly asked: "Su Jian Ling, these children are the pillars of the future, and we feel sorry for anyone who is lost. You should pay more attention and get them out sooner." Get it back."

"Pu She don't worry, I'll let you know."

After bidding farewell to Taixue, Su Rao went to Jingzhao Mansion, and gave Li Cheng's portrait to Gai Heng, and asked him to post it to find someone.

Gai Heng felt guilty, so he did it naturally.

"My lord, what about Du Yong and Zhou Ziling?"

Gu Cheng thought of the missing person, and hurriedly said: "These two people also disappeared around the time of the murder, and the timing of Zhou Ziling's recitation is too coincidental."

"Although the timing is a coincidence, on the surface, they have nothing to do with Xu Chen's death."

After thinking about it, Su Rao still found two people who were familiar with Zhou Ziling and Du Yong, and drew two portraits based on their descriptions.

After the painting was finished, everyone was amazed.

"I've never seen it before, and I can draw it. It's amazing. If my lord doesn't investigate the case and go to jail, I will become a painter in the future, and I will be famous forever."

The two flattered.

Gu Cheng slightly raised the corner of his lower lip, what is this, she can draw her usual appearance on the bones!

He didn't find it strange what happened to Miss Su now.

Such a person is a god who came down to earth to save sentient beings!
"Put these two posters out and see if anyone can provide clues."

The portrait was sent to Jingzhao Mansion, and Gai Heng would try his best to do it, Su Rao was relieved, the busy day made her mentally exhausted, so she simply had some dinner.

When Xun Zeli came back, he found nothing.

"Shengjing is too big. It will take time to find a dagger. I will go and look for it in a few days."

"it is good."

Xun Zeli's attitude made a 180-degree turn. Even the people around him showed a lot of respect for Su Rao, and worked hard for fear of being looked down upon.

Gu Cheng suddenly remembered something, "My lord, tomorrow seems to be your day to rest and take a bath. What are your plans?"

"sleep."

Su Rao finished speaking without thinking, and glanced at Xun Zeli and Gu Cheng who were full of exhaustion. After accepting this errand, they seemed to have no free time.

"Tomorrow, you can also rest separately, don't follow me."

"But His Majesty asked us to protect your safety..."

On the one hand, Gu Cheng was moved, but on the other hand, he was a little worried. Su Rao smiled and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to attack me blatantly, besides, I don't move around, so trouble can't be found on me."

"You can rest assured."

After she said that, everyone in Yinxuewei showed joy.

They haven't been free for too long, and they are about to let go of horses and parade through the streets. What does it feel like to fight cocks and walk birds.

"OK then."

Gu Cheng thought that if she couldn't handle it with her skills, they would be of no help, so she was completely relieved.

Everyone packed up and went back to their homes.

Xiao San and the others had no place to stay in Shengjing, so they went back to Banyue Xiaozhu with her, and asked about tomorrow's plan, Xiao Qing smiled and said: "I have been in Shengjing for a long time, and I haven't had a serious stroll. Discuss and go around."

"Alright."

Su Rao went back to Banyue Residence, and saw Ah Fu waiting outside from a distance, for some reason, she felt a little bit of a shock in her heart.
