The fire in Wushun Mansion was ultimately not extinguished. The Wushun Mansion, which covers an area of ​​80 acres, was burned to white land, and all the clues were burned clean in the fire.

At night, Lai Junchen was quite annoyed in the inn of Wannian County and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back.

In fact, until now he has not figured out why the emperor sent him to investigate the case of this relic. Logically, the real and fake relic has been revealed, so why do you still need to investigate it?

The grudges between Wu and Li are just that, and everyone in the world knows it. Could it be that the emperor is unhappy that Li has obtained the real relics and has to cause something else?

Lai Junchen is a very smart person, calm, quick and capable. He thinks things are not that simple. The emperor asked him to investigate the relics case, which must have a deeper meaning.

This matter cannot be closed in a hurry just because Wushun Mansion was burned, and he must continue to investigate.

But...whether he should start?

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air. Lai Junchen was shocked and flashed quickly. A crossbow arrow shot through the window, passing by, and hitting the wooden pillar behind him.

Lai Junchen was furious and jumped up to the window. He saw a clear moon outside the window, shining like silver, and there was silence around him, without any suspicious traces.

Lai Junchen turned around and stared at the crossbow arrow. A letter was inserted into the crossbow arrow. He slowly walked back to the room, pulled out the crossbow arrow, took off the text message inserted on the crossbow arrow, and opened the text message. There was only one sentence inside, "Relics case, Lan Zhenning, Dunhuang Restaurant in Xuanyangfang."

Lai Junchen frowned. What does this sentence mean? Is this Lan Zhenning related to the relics case?

Also, who cummed the text message and why did you tell him this clue?

He pondered for a moment, no matter who told him the clue, he was now having no clue. He would investigate it first. Lai Junchen immediately ordered: "Everyone gathers and go to Xuanyangfang immediately!"

......

The evening was originally the best time for various taverns to do business, and the Dunhuang tavern in Xuanyangfang was no exception.

But at this time, something seemed to have happened in the Dunhuang diners. All the diners were driven out of the diners. Two diners who wanted to judge were beaten to death and threw them down from the second floor. All the diners were frightened and scattered, and the door of the diners closed.

Dozens of orioles and bartenders in the diner were rushed to the third floor.

The tables in the lobby on the second floor were piled on one side. Lai Junchen sat on a bench and looked coldly at the owner Lan Zhenning in front of him.

Lan Zhenning was hung upside down in the lobby on the second floor, her head was about three feet above the ground, her face swelled into a pig's liver due to the blood rushing. Her face was pulled into a pig's head, and her eyes showed a look of fear.

Lai Junchen fiddled with a sharp knife in his hand, and a cold smile on his face, "I don't have that much patience. I will tell you, if you have another word that makes me unhappy, I will cut you a piece of meat, and I'll start asking now."

"I want to ask about the relics in Wushun Mansion, do you know?"

Lan Zhenning shook his head, suddenly, nodded suddenly, and Lai Junchen snorted coldly, "At noon today, Wushun Mansion was burned. Do you know who did it?"

Lan Zhenning hesitated for a moment and shook his head, but saw a flash of cold light. Lan Zhenning fell into the ground with one ear, and blood gushed out. Lan Zhenning suddenly howled like a pig.

"At noon today, Wushun Mansion was burned. Do you know who did it?" Lai Junchen asked coldly again.

"It was my brother setting the fire, it was Lan Zhenyu, I said! I said everything!"

Lai Junchen saw too many people. Such people don’t cry when they see the coffin. One ear alone is not enough to completely defeat him. He asked coldly again: “Some people say Wu Shun committed suicide, some people say he was murdered. How did he die?”

"It was a murder, a murderer named Li Zhen, no! It was not a murderer, ah-"

The cold light flashed again, Lan Zhenning's ear fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over his face. Lan Zhenning howled and screamed, unable to say a word.

Lai Junchen walked to the window with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Stop the bleeding and take off all his clothes!"

Several subordinates quickly stopped Lan Zhenning's bleeding, put him down, stripped his clothes, tied his hands and feet, and lay on the table. Lan Zhenning felt even more frightened. He felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At this time, his belief had completely collapsed, and his brother Lan Zhenyu was very clear in his heart, and it was him who brought him endless disasters.

Lai Junchen slowly walked to his eyes, and Xiaodao weighed it in his hand, "You keep saying it! The same thing, it makes me unhappy, so I will cut you a piece of meat."

Lan Zhenning couldn't help but put his legs together and said in a trembling voice: "Lan Zhenyu... I came back at noon today. Although he didn't say it, I could guess... Wushun Mansion was the fire he set because my sister was forced to death by the people of the Wushun family."

"What is the relationship between Lan Zhenyu and relics?"

"Wushun sent Lan Zhenyu to the Western Regions to compete for the relics, but was disturbed by Li Zhen. As a result, the relics were obtained by Wang Yuanbao. Later, Wushun forced Li Zhen to retake the relics, and Li Zhen gave him a shadow relics, which were all said by my brother."

"That's right. If I cooperate with me honestly, I will not hurt you. Lai Junchen is a principled person and never kills honest people. Have you ever heard of it?"

When Lan Zhenning heard that the other party was Lai Junchen, a cruel official who was disgusted by the Tang Dynasty, he was so scared that he was incontinent and fainted on the spot.

Lai Junchen shook his head in disgust and said to the left and right: "Get him clean and put on his clothes and explain."

Lan Zhenning no longer dared to be lucky, so he explained what he knew exactly.

Only then did Lai Junchen realize the whole story of the relics case. It was so complicated. There was also a Li Zhen who appeared inexplicably, who was an unknown Dunhuang citizen, which made him even more confused.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. From Lan Zhenning's current explanation, the matter should have ended. As a result, he also knew that Li Dan got the real relics and Wu Chengsi got the fake relics. So what else is worth digging in this case?

After thinking about it, he focused on Lan Zhenyu and Li Zhen. If there were any stories, it should be on these two people.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "What are your brother Lan Zhenyu doing in Luoyang?"

"He came to get something. My sister stole it from Wushun before. She was Wushun's favorite concubine."

Lai Junchen's heart moved and asked, "What's it?"

"It seems to be a letter. I don't know the specific content. After my sister took poison and committed suicide, this letter has been kept here. I dare not read it."

"You should know who wrote the letter, say it quickly!"

"It seems... a letter written by King Wei to Wu Shun."

Lai Junchen became more and more interested. He gradually discovered a little clue by him, but it was not enough. Lan Zhenyu got the letter and burned Wushun Mansion, obviously to cover up his eyes.

There was also the Yu Pinlong who shouted to keep the study. It was very likely that he was looking for this letter. What was the content of this letter?

Lai Junchen lowered his head and thoughtlessly. Perhaps Lan Zhenning wanted to save his life, and added tremblingly: "Lan Zhenyu has returned to Luoyang... Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to dig out my sister's body and burn it."

"Why?"

"I don't know either. He just said that my sister is very poisonous and will kill people when she encounters her. Please be careful."

Lai Junchen frowned. He suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously: "What will your sister look like after she dies?"

"The whole body is golden and stiff as a stone."

Lai Junchen stood up suddenly and patted his forehead repeatedly. He finally understood that Lan Zhenyu's sister was actually infected with the same poison as the monk Yun Xuan, which means that the source of the poison was Lan Zhenyu, and Lan Zhenyu was Wu Shun's confidant. Could it be that the poison case was related to... Wu Chengsi?

Lai Junchen had a cold sweat on his back. He turned around and grabbed Lan Zhenning and said viciously: "Where is your sister's room? Take me there immediately!"

.........

Lan Zhenning and his sister, Lan Zhenning, Lan Zhenyu and Lan Yier. After Lan Yier was presented to Wu Shun by her second brother Lan Zhenyu, she became Wu Shun's favorite concubine.

Originally, Lan Yier was five months pregnant. After Wushun's death, his family abolished the fetus in her belly and drove her out of Wushun's mansion in order to fight for property. Lan Yier committed suicide by taking poison in grief and anger.

The room where Lan Yier temporarily lives is in the backyard of the Dunhuang Tavern, and the room was temporarily sealed after her death.

At this time, Lai Junchen searched carefully in the room. He quickly found a small flower porcelain bottle about an inch from the corner of the bed. The bottle stopper was pulled out and it was empty. Lai Junchen inferred that Lan Yier died of drinking the poison in the bottle.

Soon, Lai Junchen found the same small flower porcelain bottle in Lan Yier's dressing box, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with wax.

Lai Junchen immediately ordered his subordinates to catch a dog. He used the dog to test the poison. Sure enough, the dog fell to the ground and died immediately, and his whole body turned golden. Lai Junchen and his subordinates were so scared that they retreated one after another.

Lai Junchen carefully put away the poison bottle, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself, "Lan Yier should have stolen poison from Wu Shun's hand, Lan Zhenyu would never give this poison to his sister."

Lai Junchen finally realized that the problem was serious. Maybe Wu Chengsi did it and framed Di Renjie.

More importantly, I am afraid that the emperor is a little suspicious of this matter, so he asked himself to come to Chang'an to investigate the case. Is this the real intention of the emperor sending him to Chang'an to investigate the relics case?

A bottle of poison alone cannot explain the problem. The key is to have the letter on Lan Zhenyu, which was written by Wu Chengsi to Wu Shun. I am afraid that the letter is the evidence of the entire poison case.

Lai Junchen quickly straightened out his thoughts. His next step was to rush back to Luoyang to catch Lan Zhenyu and get the letter. Moreover, he would also have to remind Wu Chengsi first, which could be considered an explanation to the Wu family.

He immediately whispered to a subordinate: "Take a few brothers to burn Lan Yier's body, and then take Lan Zhenning out of the city to kill it, and do it cleaner."

"Abide by the order!"

The subordinates hurried away, and Lai Junchen attracted another confidant and pointed to the poisoned dog and said, "Give this dog to Yupinlong and tell him that the dog was dug out of Wushun Mansion."

After arranging the funeral, Lai Junchen immediately turned over and stopped in Chang'an. He led his men back to Luoyang overnight.
