Li Zhen and Gao Jian rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, which really surprised him. The personal bodyguard actually ran away. Could it be that his initial doubts came true? Is there really a problem with the injured but not poisoned guard? If so, why wouldn't this personal bodyguard directly assassinate Li Dan?

It was precisely because of this kind of consideration that Li Zhen thought that the guard could not be an insider, but now he escaped accidentally and the situation became confusing again.

In the guard house in the west courtyard of the royal palace, the room of the guard Huo Zhishan was in a mess. Wang Jiansi, the judge, led several officials from Dali Temple to search the scene carefully. Sun Li sighed and said to Li Zhen: "We are going to take this guard back to record confessions. He said he needed to go back to the room to get some evidence. I will let two people accompany him back. He is very skilled in martial arts. After entering the house, he knocked two people out of the business and then ran away from the back window."

Sun Li pointed to the broken rear window, and Li Zhen walked up to take a look. Outside the window was a small courtyard full of peach trees, without a house, surrounded by courtyard walls. "Where is outside the wall?" Li Zhen asked at the courtyard wall.

"There is a small alley outside the wall, close to the wall. We have surveyed it. There are signs of climbing on the wall. The guard should have fled over the wall."

At this time, Wang Jiansi whispered: "There is something abnormal here."

Li Zhen hurried over and saw Wang Jiansi hitting the wall with a small wooden hammer, "Principal Li, please listen."

There was a thud on the wall, and the wall was obviously a hollow wall. Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Open it."

Two inner guard warriors cut off the wall with sharp blades, revealing a dark hole in the wall, and there was a faint light. The inner guard warrior reached in and took out twelve ingots of gold, each of which weighed at least fifty taels.

"What else?" Li Zhen asked again with a gloomy face.

The warrior reached out to fumble in the hole in the wall for a moment, then took out a small blue exquisite porcelain bottle. Wang Jiansi took the bottle, opened the lid and sniffed it. His face changed suddenly and he said to Li Zhen and Sun Li: "This is the poisonous Hedinghong. If you drink it, you will die within a cup of tea."

Sun Li looked at the gold and the poison bottle again. He asked Li Zhen with some confusion: "What should we do now?"

"Please issue a Class A wanted order and offer a reward of 1,000 guan to arrest this guard."

Li Zhen issued an order. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Lan Zhenyu. Could this Huo Zhishan be the second Lan Zhenyu?

Sun Li returned to Dali Temple to handle the procedures for wanting Huo Zhishan. Gao Jian and Wang Jiansi followed Li Zhen back to the inner and outer offices. Li Zhen asked them to sit down in his official room and ordered the child to serve tea. Gao Jian took a sip of tea and asked curiously: "What are the golden powders we found in Luozhutang? It seems that Commander Li is very familiar?"

Li Zhen nodded, "I think it looks like a poison I have seen before, so let's try it."

Li Zhen took out the small bag, opened it layer by layer, took a wine glass, poured half a glass of wine, took a little powder with a silver spoon and put it into the wine glass to dissolve. Although the powder was golden, it became colorless and tasteless after it dissolved into the wine, and returned to its true colors.

Li Zhen immediately ordered his opponent: "Go and catch a local dog and cut off the hair."

Soon, several inner guard warriors caught a wandering dog, tied it up with a rope, cut off the hair, and the guards spread the dog's mouth open, Li Zhen poured the wine into the dog's mouth, and immediately ordered: "Everyone dispersed."

The warriors dodged one after another, and for a moment, the local dog twitched a few times, and was immediately poisoned to death. The body slowly turned golden. Wang Jiansi was so scared that he said: "This is Red Practice Gold"

Although Gao Jian had never seen Chi Lianjin, he also understood the case of the Poisonous Sutra. His face changed drastically. Li Dan was abolished as the emperor's heir because of the Poisonous Sutra. Has this incident caused trouble again?

Li Zhen's face became more gloomy and told the warriors: "This dog is highly toxic, burn it, be careful not to touch it."

Li Zhen walked back to the room. At this time, Wang Jiansi said to himself: "Is it really a bit strange?"

"What's strange?" Li Zhen asked.

Wang Jiansi said with confusion: "In an assassination case, three poisons appeared. First, the poison applied to the blade, and then the crane head was found. Now, red gold is appearing. This is the first time I have encountered this situation."

"This is the problem"

Gao Jian smiled and said, "Since the other party has red gold on his hand, why don't he apply red gold on the blade directly, then the King of Xiang will definitely die. There is also the personal bodyguard. Since he protects the King of Xiang personally, it will be easy to kill the Prime Minister, why don't he take action?"

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I have a speculation that perhaps Huo Zhishan did not want to kill the Prime Minister and refused to take action for a long time. The other party took action himself. The third assassin's goal was to kill Huo Zhishan to silence him, but he just killed him and escaped."

"Since that's the case, he should have escaped overnight. Why did he have to wait until we come before running away?" Gao Jian was still a little puzzled.

Li Zhen sighed, "If he ran away overnight last night, then he would be the number one suspect, so he would meet us before running away."

Li Zhen took a few steps behind his hands, "The key to solving this case is Huo Zhishan. He must know who is buying him."

Gao Jian and Wang Jiansi left, and Li Zhen was the only one left in the official room. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. The sunset shone in through the window and turned the room into red. This morning, when Wu Zetian summoned him, he was only given three days, but how could this case be solved in three days? It would take him at least half a month.

Although I had a good harvest today, I found an insider and got important clues from Luo Zhutang. This assassination case is very likely to be related to Wu Chengsi. Despite this, Li Zhen still had a hint of inexplicable doubt, which was what Gao Jian said, "Since the other party has red gold on his hand, why don't he apply red gold directly on the blade, then the King of Xiang will definitely die.

Yes, the other party has red gold, why not just use it to kill Li Dan? As far as he knows, Mrs. Gongsun has not developed the antidote to red gold.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, "Since I won't let me in, then report it quickly and say I have something to do with him."

This was Di Yan's voice. Li Zhen laughed. She must have heard some news. Li Zhen walked out of the door and saw Di Yan standing at the gate of the yard, staring at the warrior who stopped her with an unhappy face.

When Di Yan saw Li Zhen, she rushed over and said with a smile: "Brother Li, is there another deal coming?"

"It's not a business, it's a chore. Come in and talk about it."

Li Zhen asked Di Yan to enter the official room. Di Yan took out a wanted order and spread it on the table and smiled: "The reward is 1,000 guan. Those who are familiar with it can report to Dali Temple or the inner guard, so I know you have a deal."

This is the wanted order to arrest Huo Zhishan. The characters on it are always so ferocious, completely different from the real person. Di Yan asked: "Who is this Huo Zhishan?

"He was the personal bodyguard of the King of Xiang and was injured in the assassination. As a result, we found that he had a problem, so he seized the opportunity to escape."

"Will there be any problems with the bodyguard?"

Di Yan looked confused, "If there is any problem with the personal bodyguard, will the life of the Xiangwang still be there?"

"That's the problem, it's more complicated."

Li Zhen looked at the sky and asked with a smile: "Why don't we go have a drink? Have you had dinner?"

Di Yan shook her head, Li Zhen smiled, "I didn't happen to be there either, let's go together."

In a small wine shop not far from the inner and outer offices, Li Zhen ordered a few dishes and ordered a pot of good wine. During this period, he dined in this small wine shop almost every day. The bartender and shopkeeper knew him and were particularly enthusiastic about him.

"General Li, try this new Jinshi Red, which is a little more mellower than the old Jinshi Red."

The bartender brought a bottle of wine and said enthusiastically: "This is the Jinshi Red produced by the Wang family. It is much better than the original old Jinshi Red. I heard that the original Jinshi Red had changed his boss and his quality dropped sharply, which is a pity."

"Thank you, let's do it ourselves."

Li Zhen took the bottle and filled the wine for himself and Di Yan. Di Yan whispered: "What's going on? After your eldest sister transferred the wine shop, the quality of the wine immediately became unfavorable?

"Her original wine shop was the best Gaochang wine supplied by Wangjia Wine House. Because the purchase price is relatively high, she can only make money by small profits and quick turnover. The new owner felt that the profit was too low, so she changed to a wine shop. The purchase price was lowered by half. Although the profit was even greater, the quality of the wine dropped significantly, which was too far from the original post-Jinshi Post. As a result, the brand of Jinshi Red was smashed in less than a month. The Wang family took the opportunity to launch the new Jinshi Red, which slowly replaced the original old Jinshi Red. Even the purchasing channels in the palace were stolen by the Wang family."

"What should I do if the Yashi Ice Shop?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "I heard that the new owner is also transferring it. Only my eldest sister can manage Yashiju. He thought the problem too simply."

"How is your eldest sister now?" Di Yan asked again.

"She is fine, she lives in Mingxiu Villa with her children. After this show, she will go home."

The risk Li Zhen mentioned refers to Lai Junchen's investigation of himself. Now he doesn't know the progress of Lai Junchen's investigation of himself. He is probably still looking for his secret treasure. Li Zhen sneered in his heart. He really hoped that Lai Junchen could find his own treasure in Pure Land Temple and let himself taste the taste of wealth that is comparable to a country.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Zhen saw that there was no one around, so he told Di Yan in detail about the investigation today. When Di Yan heard that the Red Lily Gold appeared again, and the seven-leaf pearl was owned by Wu Chengsi's concubine, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "This is strange. The Red Lily Gold in the palace and the Red Lily Gold in Wu Chengsi's mansion are both in the hands of my master. Why does this poison appear? Could someone have gone to Tochar again?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about this issue repeatedly. At first, I suspected that it was Wu Chengsi, but the more I thought about it, the more I became, the more I felt wrong. Since the other party did not use Red Purchase Gold to poison the King of Xiang, what's the point of exposing it? I immediately thought of Wu Chengsi and the seven-leaf pearl from the King of Wei's Mansion. These two major evidences are pointing to Wu Chengsi. It was so easy to come, and even a job handing over to the emperor."

Di Yan understood what Li Zhen meant, "What do you mean was that someone framed Wu Chengsi?"

"It can only be said that there is such a possibility, and it is not ruled out that it was really done by Wu Chengsi's subordinates. It was just that they were negligent and left a handle."

"So how to explain Red Li Jin?"

“Very good explanation”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I don't believe that all the Red Jin poisons in Wu Chengsi's mansion have been confiscated, and they must have hidden a little."

Di Yan nodded, "The key is to find the guard named Huo Zhishan. Why do I feel like another Lan Zhenyu is here?"
