Death Sutra

Chapter 884: Leak

The two bodies were there, pale as a poor dummy, and Prince Shule looked at him, his face became pale, turned and retched, and quickly walked to the door, no longer facing the body.

Shangguan cut his hand and pressed it on the wound on the chest of the first body. "Knife wound."

The murderous knife is placed next to it. The typical Jinpeng knife is the guard of Ma Lian. The knife is in the middle of the heart. The fingertip-sized wound shows that the knife is not deeply penetrated. The entry and exit is very fast, indicating that the assassin is a master.

The second body is considered to be the assassin himself.

It was a very young man, and his lips were slightly childish. There were two wounds in his body, one in the temple and one in the ventral side.

"Sword injury." Gu Shenwei said, "The first sword stabbed the ventral side, and the second sword was in the middle."

On the surface, the two swords are not as perfect as the wounds on the first body, but since the assassin's martial arts are very good and remain vigilant, the person who kills him should be even more powerful.

The two coroners looked up and looked at each other, and they were incredulous about the scene at hand: they stood in the same tent and talked politely, but they didn't even start.

Anyone who wants to look at the eyes of the One-Step King needs a certain amount of courage. Gu Shen is fearless. The longer he gets along with the Shangguan, the weaker the tension in his heart, the urge to pull the knife from time to time. It has nothing to do with revenge, it is purely to prove its strength.

Killing the One Step King is one of the most powerful sources of power for Gu Shen, but it has fallen to an extent that is dispensable.

"You know very well who is the real murderer." Shangguan cut down and said that he was indifferent to the provocation of young people's eyes.

Gu Shenwei shook her head and refused to say the first goal. "I don't know this assassin, and I don't know who killed him."

The gaze of Shangguan was as deep as the ocean. It seems that no storm can blow its surface, but the corner of the mouth reveals a sardonic smile. "I think this assassin is a disciple of Xiaoyuetang, and the person who killed him is a lotus girl. ”

Deep eyes and ridiculous smiles. Two distinct expressions appear on one face at the same time, as if a steady old lion faced the challenge of a young lion, but only gave a absent-minded yawn.

Gu Shenwei was angered. "There is no male disciple in Xiaoyuetang, and the lotus girl is not the only one who uses the sword."

"Maybe, who are you going to hand over to the Central Plains? A knife in the alley of Nancheng Street?"

Gu Shenwei found himself fooled. This is the difference between Zhong Heng’s so-called “truth” and “solution”. It is more important to give a reasonable murderer to the Central Plains than to dig the real messenger. When he denies that Xiaoyuetang and the Dutch girl are the real murderers, they actually put themselves on the shackles of "truth."

"This is not an accidental assassination. It has been premeditated." He said that the plucking knife that had already run too far was impulsive. "Whoever benefits the most, who is the murderer."

"Does Xiaoyuetang not benefit?" Shangguan cut his eyes and seemed to be more interested in the two bodies. "I heard that the purpose of those madmen is to make a big mess in the world. They are so good to fish in the water and bring the Central Plains army into the Western Region. A purpose?"

"I hope that the introduction of the Central Plains army is not just Xiaoyuetang, but also you." Gu Shen was paused. Observing the reaction of Shangguan, "Two months ago, you dedicated Qianqianguan to the Central Plains, isn't it just to provoke a big fight?"

Shangguan fell to nod. "Yes, but there are more than 200,000 Beiting cavalry in your hand. The two strong rivals, Jinpengbao can profit from it. Now the Central Plains army has swept, why should I still Lead them?"

"I can still call the North Cavalry."

Shangguan fell again to Gu Shenwei, but his expression was dull but more ruthless. "No, you can't, because you started to care about the lives of the soldiers, afraid to sacrifice too much. And you know that the decisive battle is meaningless to you, regardless of victory or defeat. The people of the North Court will return to the grassland, leaving you to continue to face the offensive of the Central Plains. So once the Central Plains army opens to the Western Regions, you will take a step to attack the Jinpeng Fort, and then flee the same as before."

The intervention of the Central Plains is not good for Jinpengbao and Longjun. Gu Shenwei had to admit this, but he hated that the Shangguan cut seemed to have a clear tone of all things. "I want to see the corpse of the Central Plains envoy." He said, bluntly shifting the topic. .

The defending champion waited for them in another tent and shook his head seriously in the face of the Dragon King's request. "I don't know what the customs of the Western Regions are. The Central Plains is very respectful to the remains of the nobles. The assassination of the Ma Daren City is huge. Unfortunately, his body has already entered the shackles, and I can no longer do the autopsy."

The one-step king did not seem to care too much, politely leave, and led the soldiers back to Yuyucheng.

When there were only two people left, the defending champion put on a friendly attitude. "In the case of the one-step king, I have to do business. If the dragon king really wants to see the body, I can think of a way."

Gu Shenwei shook his head. He changed his mind and decided not to seek any help from the defending. "No, I don't think I can find anything. Within three days, I will hand over the murderer to Wei Daren."

The defending champion slightly suppressed the voice. "This is a good opportunity for revenge. If there is evidence that Jinpengbao is related to the death of Ma Daren, I don't have to wait for the imperial court's will, I can order the capture of the official."

The enthusiasm on the face of defending is so sincere, Gu Shenwei’s willpower is weaker and he will believe it is true. His performance ability is not bad. He nodded and agreed. “This is indeed an opportunity. I have just done temptation, and the spurs may be spurred. It’s really related to Shangguan.”

"As long as the Dragon King provides a reason..." The defending family took two shots on the shoulder of Gu Shen, repeating: "As long as the Dragon King provides a reason."

Before leaving, Gu Shen had seen a solitary singer, and the one-armed general could still control the 10,000 Central Plains soldiers, but he only had the right to self-defense and did not order the right to fight. In the big action, he still had to take orders from the Western Region. Guardian.

Du Guzheng has not much opinion on the investigation. It only proposes a possibility for the future situation. "If the Central Plains refuses to give up, the battlefield must not be chosen in Saitama City. The Dragon King has ordered the North Court cavalry to intercept the Central Plains army in the middle of the road. Bringing enemies into a flat grassland can increase your chances or increase dramatically."

This is the last resort choice. Gu Shen asked for a solitary plan to prepare the battle plan, and then temporarily put it down. He still wanted to find out the real murderer.

In the afternoon, Gu Shen was stationed in Nancheng. Hu Shining had already obtained a solid site in the southeast corner and established ten layers of defense measures to withstand the siege of a large number of swordsmen.

The parties have agreed to a truce in the four Sangha. Zhong Heng has been busy with this matter. When Gu Shen arrived, Nancheng was already peaceful, even too quiet, and there were fewer guests who were happy.

Gu Shenwei is no longer the killer apprentice of the year. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to investigate the case in person, and it is also made by Zhong Heng. Xu Xiaoyi cooperated.

After only half a day, Xu Xiaoyi repaired his intelligence network. "Now the business is not good, and it is easier to sell the information. Does the Dragon King not care about spending money?"

Gu Shen did not care, there is a Meng family property as a guarantee. His promise is money, Xiao Fengqi and Lu Qiying also have their own ways of making money, not letting Long Wang lose money.

"Found someone?" he asked.

"Found it." Xu Xiaoyi looked at Zhong Heng and said, "The horse is a micro-service private visit. It is clearly a 'micro-private private'. He sneaked into the north city from the four sangha blues five nights ago. I ran to the people’s alley for a couple of days, and if I had not been slashed, I had to go there these nights. He was fascinated by the blind man."

Xu Xiaoyi found the niece, and the person who asked her was Zhong Heng. "I was late, Jinpengbao people have already looked for her, so she spoke very cautiously. But she swears that the guests are ordinary and give a lot of money. There is no doubt that has not been disclosed to anyone before."

"Is she telling the truth?"

"I think it is. She didn't seem to know that the guests who had received it before were the Central Plains envoys."

"That's weird."

"Well, Ma Lian only stayed in the waiting for two nights. There are not many people who know. If it is not a prostitute, it is the person around Ma Lian..."

"There is Jinpengbao." Xu Xiaoyi did not want to be ignored, rushed to say: "The North and South City checkpoint guards are all Jinpeng killers. They open the door for the Central Plains encirclement every night, indicating that someone in Jinpeng Fort knows the identity of Ma Lian."

Ma Lian was secretly bought by Jinpengbao. Zhong Heng felt that it was not very interesting. Fortunately, the Dragon King did not mention this matter. Gu Shenwei said: "The more obvious the suspicion, the less likely it is that Jinpengbao commits crimes. This is not their style. ”

"Dragon King is right." Xu Xiaoyi is still puzzled. Zhong Heng already understands the meaning of the Dragon King. "It is easy to find evidence from Jinpengbao, but I suspect that the key evidence in the hands of the One Step King can be at the last moment. Indicating innocence."

Gu Shen suspected that this was the purpose of defending the hope of "framing the disaster" Jinpeng Fort, let the Dragon King think he was successful, and then use a key piece of evidence to overturn his allegations.

"There are only people around Ma Lian who are doubtful." Gu Shen said, "This person is a leaker even if it is not the messenger."

"More likely to be a leaker." Zhong Heng made a lot of investigations in the shortest time. "I sent people to inquire about it. There are probably five or six people who know the whereabouts of the envoys. They are ordinary followers, even if they have a hatred with Ma Lian. I also can't hire a professional killer, so it is more likely to be bought and leaked. If I can get the consent of the Central Plains, let me formally ask him again, maybe I can find him."

"Go to the defending, he will agree."

"Yes." Zhong Heng promised that when he thought of himself as the leader of the Dragon King, he would see a former boss.

After talking for a while, Zhong Heng retire, Gu Shen asked Xu Xiaoyi to inquire about the movement of Jinpengbao, and then rested alone for half an hour, until the sky completely blackened, and the person will call Shangguanhong.

Nancheng is in short supply, and all the people with good skills are sent here. Shangguanhong is no exception, but he is rarely sent out to perform tasks.

"Are you injured?" Gu Shen asked in a blink of an eye.

Shang Guanhong subconsciously touched his waist. "The practice is too urgent and sprained."

This is not a perfect lie, but Gu Shenwei did not ask, "You will perform the task with me tonight."

"Yes." Shang Guanhong said with a tone of enthusiasm, and he was deeply surprised by the trust of the Dragon King.

"Let's go to the lotus girl." Gu Shenwei said that he would never hesitate when he used it.
