Zhan Zhao was knocking on the door, beating a drum in his heart... After all, Liu Peng is the official Sima, there must be at least dozens of people in the house... After knocking on the door for a long time, there is no sound at all, this is unreasonable...

Zhan Zhao silently looked back at Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master also looked at him.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "The weather is nice today, will you go out for an outing together?"

Fifth Master stretched out his hand and waved it gently to him.

Zhan Zhao stepped aside a little.

Mr. Wu kicked the door open.

The door opened to both sides with a "bang" sound, and the door bolt inside was kicked off and fell to the ground with a "snap" sound.

Looking in through the open door, I saw several maids and boys lying on the ground.

As soon as Zhan Zhao closed his eyes - it was over and the whole family was wiped out!

The Fifth Master was relatively calm, and he didn’t think it would be... The fourth son didn’t say that Zhan Zhao would pick up the body when he went out today. Sure enough, if he looked carefully, there were people lying on the ground, but there were no blood stains, and the chests of these maids and servants were still there

Slightly undulating, it is obviously full of vitality.

The Fifth Master pushed Zhan Zhao and said, "The cats are all alive!"

Zhan Zhao, who had his eyes closed, immediately opened them, took a closer look, and found that he was really alive, so he hurried in.

Everyone behind him also followed in.

Zhan Zhao checked the conditions of several boys and found that they could not be woken up. One or two of them were fast asleep.

"Did you get some kind of sleep-destroying drug?" Zhai Qinbao asked someone to get some cold water, and asked a boy to splash it on him to see if he could wake him up.

Li Yan led some imperial troops into the house and found that there were many people in the yard, all of whom were in a state of fainting on the spot.

"Where is Liu Peng?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the door of the house and looked around for Liu Peng.

At this time, several Imperial City soldiers who ran in first shouted, "Someone is dead here!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly ran to the backyard...

There is a rather exquisitely decorated small building in the backyard, but inside this magnificent small building, the scene is a bit bloody...

On the ground on the first floor, two corpses, a man and a woman, were lying, and a hanging man was hung on the beam next to him.

Zhan Zhao went in to check and found that he knew all three dead people. The man and woman lying on the ground were the concubine of Chen Ming and Liu Peng's family. Both of them died from multiple stab wounds, and there was blood all over the ground.

The person hanging next to him was Liu Peng.

There is a letter on the table and a bloody knife beside it.

Zhan Zhao picked up the letter and read it, and found that it was a suicide note written by Liu Peng.

The content of the letter is that the concubine was drugged during the meal, and she planned to stun the whole family and elope with Chen Ming. As a result, Liu Peng had a bad appetite today and did not eat, so he was not drugged, and he happened to crash.

Two people had an adulterous affair. Liu Peng and Chen Ming had been friends for many years. When they found out that their friend had betrayed him and tried to force him into a corner, he was so angry that he killed the adulterous couple. After killing someone, Liu Peng knew that he would inevitably die, so

Hanged himself and took his life...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the three corpses. The suicide note did explain the situation in front of them reasonably, but... they always felt that it was a bit too simple.

Zhai Qinbao ran in and was stunned when he saw the three corpses.

Zhan Zhao handed the letter to him.

After Zhai Qinbao finished reading, he frowned, looked at Chen Ming's body in confusion, and murmured to himself, "Why... something is wrong..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded, something was indeed wrong! Especially when combined with what Zhai Qinbao said before, this concubine was not married by Liu Peng for himself at all, but was raised for Gao Lianxing... In other words, this was someone else's concubine. Liu Peng

There is no real affection between him and his concubine, so how could the brother try to force him into a corner and become angry out of humiliation?

Furthermore... Chen Ming lying on the ground is tall and strong, while Liu Peng hanging on the beam is thin and small. Can he hold a knife and stab Chen Ming to death who is so much stronger than himself?

Moreover, in Zhan Zhao’s impression, Liu Peng was a civil servant with a gentle personality and even a bit of a coward... Could he do such an extreme thing?

Zhai Qinbao stood aside and scratched his head, "It's too outrageous! What the hell is this?"

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "If we hadn't rescued the three of them, and hadn't heard about the true relationship between Liu Peng and the concubine... wouldn't this matter be more credible?"

Bai Yutang nodded. Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to have something on his mind, he asked, "Mao'er, what did you find?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and said, "I thought of a possibility."

With that said, Zhan Zhao waved to Zhai Qinbao, pointed at Chen Ming on the ground and asked, "Look at him."

Zhai Qinbao looked at Chen Ming, nodded and said yes, this is Chen Ming.

"Imagine it," Zhan Zhao said, "if his face had sideburns and beard, would it look like the Dali envoy Gao Lianxing?"

Everyone was stunned, including Zhai Qinbao.

"Eh?!" Zhai Qinbao tilted his head with his hands behind his back, carefully looked at Chen Ming on the ground, and muttered, "Don't tell me..."

The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Zhai Qinbao rubbed his eyes and asked his men to find some fake beards.

After a while, his men came over with some fake beards and put them on Chen Ming on the ground.

After some fiddling with it, Zhai Qinbao's eyes widened and he asked his deputy, "Does it look like it?"

Several Imperial City Army soldiers who had seen Gao Lianxing said they felt like...

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Twins?"

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and said, "Both of them were born as slaves of the Gao family. They may be twins, but one was given to Chen Jie when he was a child and came to Kaifeng. The other stayed in Dali and later married Gao Liantai's sister.

He became the envoy of Dali. The person we caught in the Qingshan Inn that day might not be Chen Ming at all, but Gao Lianxing, who had shaved his beard."

Bai Yutang feels that if this is the case, everything seems to make sense...

"Then this person..." Bai Yutang pointed to Chen Ming on the ground and asked, "Maybe he is Gao Lianxing, not Chen Ming?"

This is what Zhan Zhao thinks, "If Chen Ming hides, grows a beard, and returns to Daliguanyi as Gao Lianxing in a few days... From now on, he will be Gao Lianxing!"

Bai Yutang asked Zhai Qinbao if Chen Ming had any unique scars on his body that could identify his specific identity.

Zhai Qinbao thought for a while and said, "When we were young, we went hunting once. When we were making a campfire, a piece of hot carbon stone bounced up and burned Chen Ming's leg. I remember that the burn was quite serious at the time.

Zhan Zhao checked the legs of Chen Ming's body and found that there was no burn mark on both legs.

In addition, after having the idea of ​​twins, the more Zhai Qinbao looked at it, the more he felt that the one who died was not Chen Ming. He said that Chen Ming should not be that white... Zhan Zhao also thought about it, and the Chen Ming he saw at the inn was indeed

The man was very white. The Chen Ming they met later when they went to the official department seemed to be a little darker. Zhan Zhao didn't think much about it before, thinking it might be the light. There was some difference between indoors and outdoors, but now it was getting darker and darker.

It looks less and less like it.

Li Yan summed it up, "So this is a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, plus a plan to steal someone else's?"

Everyone felt that this was indeed the case.

"On the other side of Dali, Gao Ruiguang was first killed by borrowing a knife to kill, and then Chen Ming came in and replaced Gao Lianxing?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Then who was the obsessed man who went up to kill Gao Ruiguang last night?

Gao Lianxing or Chen Ming?"

Bai Yutang thought that he should let Gongsun come and take a look. Last night, the man went crazy and applied so much Moxinvine medicine on his body, which was used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. There were always some injuries or swelling on his body.

Traces of it? At this moment, the body in front of you has multiple stab wounds, but the skin outside of the stab wounds looks normal, and there are no scratches... You must know that the man escaped from the bird park naked yesterday

There were bushes all over the bird garden. Didn’t he have any scratches on his body?

Zhan Zhao took off the corpse's shoes and inspected it. There were no scratches on the soles of the feet.

The other thing is.

Zhan Zhao grabbed the deceased's clothes and smelled it, "There is no fragrance on him!"

Fifth Master thinks that according to the amount of ink vine used last night, it should have been marinated and the flavor can be smelled at least.

"So that was Chen Ming last night?" Zhan Zhao analyzed, "And based on the way he killed Gao Ruiguang, his force value should be quite high. It would be more reasonable to kill these three people at once."

While everyone was analyzing, Zhao Pu and Gongsun arrived.

When Tianzun and the others arrived at the stadium, they told Zhao Pu about rescuing Zhai Qinbao and the others. The shadow guards also said that the Imperial City Army had arrived at Liu's house and discovered a murder, so he rushed over with Gongsun.

Gongsun first looked around outside, then ran in and said that all the maids and servants had been drugged, so they all poured water on them.

After entering the room and reading the suicide note, Gongsun first went to check Liu Peng's hands.

He took one look and shook his head, "The suicide note is a forgery!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked, "Are you sure?"

Gongsun nodded, "If Liu Peng killed the person, he stabbed two people so many times, there is no way there would be no wounds on his hands!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it - that's right! It really has to be viewed from the perspective of Tzu Zuo to make it clearest.

Li Yan told Zhao Puyi Zhan Zhao's idea about Chen Ming and Gao Lianxing's twins switching identities.

Zhao Pu thought for a while and asked, "Speaking of which, Gao Ruiguang and Gao Ruiyuan also look very similar..."

Everyone frowned. Indeed, the portraits of Gao Ruiguang and Gao Ruiyuan almost looked like the same person.

"Could it be that they are also twins?"

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "Could it be that the Gao family sent one of the twins here on purpose?"
To be continued...
