Chapter 44 Jade Pendant
Although Zhen Guogong was not killed by the bomb, he was also seriously injured.
Sit up in shock from dying!
Did they poke a hole in the sky? Why did they catch their family!

On Rangbo's bloody face, his eyes were filled with anger, and Lord Zhen said angrily, "Master Xiao must also apprehend the murderer!"

After speaking, someone carried him to see the emperor.

It is necessary to cry in front of the emperor.

After a good hunt, he was forced to go home.

Zhao Du led the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to search for clues about the bombing at the scene, while Xiao Yan rushed back to the capital immediately with Shisan.

On the roof of a Braised Pork Rice shop opposite Tonghe Ticket Office, Chun Bao lay there concentrating, with the chimney blocking his figure, only a leather slingshot exposed.

The iron ball was already pinched in the leather, just waiting for Xiaogou to arrive, the marble would be launched, and the dog would be killed with one blow.

"Here we come!" Lu Jia said suddenly, lying on Chunbao's side, with a low voice.

Chun Bao's spirits lifted, and his eyes stared straight ahead.

under.

Because of the explosion, the common people flocked to the gate of the city like a tide, and all the people from the Jingwei Camp had to be mobilized, ordering these common people not to make noise, and imprisoning them all on both sides of the road.

It took less than half an hour to clear the road.

Xiao Yan and Shisan rode their horses and galloped all the way to the gate of Tonghe Ticket Office, got off their horses, and strode directly towards Tonghe Ticket.

Chun Bao aimed at the back of Xiao Yan's head, and the slingshot in his hand was fully drawn.

As long as the marble is shot, the dog's brain will burst immediately.

Chun Bao half-closed her eyes, held her breath, and was about to shoot the marble in her hand when Lu Jia suddenly grabbed her slingshot.

Chun Bao looked at Lu Jia in astonishment.

Lu Jia looked at the bottom in astonishment, "Look carefully, look at the jade pendant that Xiao Yan is hanging on."

Chun Bao raised his eyebrows and looked over.

It's a bit far away, so I can't really see the lines on it, but I can see the shape clearly. It's a piece of suet jade with jagged edges, like a gourd.

Chun Bao opened his mouth wide and turned to look at Lu Jia.

Lu Jia paused, and took out a jade pendant from his body.

This is something that the old general has kept close to his body for many years. At the beginning of the year, Lu Jia took Chun Bao to the enemy country to spy on intelligence.

The old general said that this jade pendant was an amulet that his wife begged for him from the temple in the past, there were two jade pendants, one big and one small.

He took the big one with him, and left the small one to his wife to keep the family safe at home.

At that time, the old general was not a general, but an ordinary soldier. He fought step by step in the army, experienced life and death again and again, exchanged his head for the title of general, and commanded thousands of troops.

During the years of war, his sons grew up one by one, and followed each other on the battlefield. The only youngest daughter was taken into the palace by the emperor and named Concubine Ning
Why is this jade pendant hanging on Xiao Yan's body?

Where did he come from.

Originally, he wanted to kill Xiao Yan with a single blow with the iron ball, but because of the appearance of this jade pendant, Lu Jia couldn't make a move.

Glancing at each other with Chun Bao, the two left silently in a tacit understanding.

Tonghe Bank.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered, he was greeted by Duan Zhe, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, "Master Xiao!"

Xiao Yan glanced at the lobby of the ticket office, and asked calmly, "What's going on."

Duan Zhe greeted the accountant of the ticket office, and the accountant was frightened again at an early age, and walked forward with a pale face and trembling.

"My lord, shortly after the explosion outside the city gate, two masked men suddenly came, one with a whip and the other with a slingshot.

After taking down all the clerks of the ticket office, he took all the cash and banknotes on the counter of the ticket office. "

Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his fist with his drooping hand.

This modus operandi was exactly the same as the Qianzhou case at that time.

"There are no guards in the ticket office?"

The accountant said: "Yes, it's just that when the explosion happened, the guards were worried about the master who was outside the city gate, so they left the ticket office and went to the north gate. Those two lunatics came after the guards left."

Thirteen stood in front of the counter fence, "My lord, look."

Xiao Yan walked over and saw the iron beads embedded in the wooden fence.

Thirteen used a dagger to pry out the iron bead, and Xiao Yan held it in his hand to cushion it. It was exactly the same as the iron bead found at Qingyuan Temple.

"Aside from taking away the cash and banknotes, is there any other loss?" Xiao Yan asked.

The cashier shook his head, "They don't seem to be interested in the valuables that the guests have deposited with us. As long as they want money, they put it in a sack at the time. They took the money away and didn't kill us."

"Do you still remember the body shape, finger color, and voice?" Xiao Yan asked.

The accountant said: "Wearing navy blue clothes, with a thin body, the voice should be deliberately suppressed, so it is not easy to identify. As for the skin color, they wear masks to cover their faces and necks tightly, and they wear masks on their hands. Even with leather gloves on, I can't see."

In addition to finding seven or eight identical iron beads at the scene, the biggest clue left is the welt marks on the boys' bodies.

The whip marks on the body of the great monk of Qingyuan Temple are exactly the same in thickness and diameter, and they are all clean and unsloppy.

It can be confirmed that the person who committed the crime this time is the person who killed the great monk in the secret room of Qingyuan Temple last time.

That is, the female devil of the Qianzhou murder case,

As for whether it's Lu Jia and Chun Bao?
"Lord Xiao, we just calculated the losses on the books. The total loss on the books is 8 taels of cash and bank notes. , At that time, our accountant also reminded those two lunatics.

But they didn't bat an eyelid at all, and they didn't pay attention to the Zhen Guogong's mansion at all, which means they didn't pay attention to the court.

Lord Xiao, please re-examine, and we must not let them go. "

As the eldest son of Lord Zhen Guo, Duan Zhe is not a direct descendant, and he has not been treated very well. This time, he did not go with the emperor to hunt, but stayed at home. Is this a blessing in disguise?

After all, almost all the ladies and young masters who went with them at that time were all painted on their faces and bodies. Even if they were cured, they would still have scars at the very least.

Duan Zhe is the only face that the Zhen Guo government can show now.

After doing a comprehensive investigation and statement record at the scene, Xiao Yan took Shisan to the tavern.

"Business is so good?"

As soon as he entered the door, Shisan was shocked by the loud voices in the tavern.

There was no empty seat in the tavern.

Almost every table is talking about today's events.

It was indeed too explosive.

First, the emperor's hunting team was bombed, and then the ticket office of Zhen Guogong's mansion was robbed, either of which was enough for the common people to talk about it for a while after dinner, let alone these two things happened at the same time.

"Where's Third Miss Lu?" Xiao Yan grabbed a boy and asked.
