Xu Chong turned over and dismounted and rushed to the headless corpse. A young general was squatting in front of the corpse and searching carefully. There were already many small pieces next to him.

"Ruan Xiu, have you noticed anything?" Xu Chong was a little anxious.

Ruan Xiu took out a small jade seal from the corpse's arms. After a glance, his face suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and handed the seal to Xu Chong: "General Xu, it seems, it seems to be Jing Xiang's private seal!"

Xu Chong was shocked and snatched the seal, and pressed hard on the back of his hand. Looking at the four seal characters of the Caotang lay Buddhist on it, he suddenly became silent.

Caotang Layman, this is Jing Xiang's name. This small seal is stamped in letters that are very close to people. Few people know about it. Here, the headless corpse in front of me is undoubtedly Jing Xiang.

He took a deep breath, took off the cloak on his body, and covered the body.

"Check it out and see if you find anything?" he whispered.

A soldier walked over with two crossbow arrows.

"This is the latest crossbow of the Tang people. Could it be the Tang people's assassin?" Xu Chong said in surprise.

Ruan Xiu shook his head and said, "General Xu, this crossbow was probably shot out by the people from Jingxiang."

"How can I see it?"

"Where did Jingxiang and the others come from? This crossbow arrow was nailed to the tree, the other flew to the front, and the assassin came from the front on a war horse." Ruan Xiu analyzed: "So it is only possible that the guards beside Jingxiang fired the crossbow arrow, but they were dodged by the other party."

Xu Chong nodded: "It is very likely that this is the case, but where did this person who fired the crossbow arrow go?"

Ruan Xiu shook his head, walked a few steps forward, and said, "General Xu, the other party came on a war horse. With one knife, the carriage dispersed. Jingxiang fell to the ground. The guard probably saw that the situation was not good, so he jumped out of the carriage and fled. Jingxiang, a scholar, encountered such a situation, and it was reasonable to be unfortunate."

A fast horse came in front of them, and the two looked up and looked forward.

"General Xu, dozens of corpses were found in front of him." The knight immediately bowed.

"It should be Jing Xiang's guard." Ruan Xiu said.

"Let's go and have a look!" Xu Chong turned over and said, "Leave a few people to restrain the body of respectful elders."

The two of them rushed to the scene of Jorie and Xu Yuan, but the scene was terrible. More than twenty corpses fell on the road in a row, and several soldiers were carefully inspecting them one by one.

"There is another one alive!" A soldier suddenly raised his head and shouted. Xu Chong and Ruan Xiu were immediately energetic and hurried over. He only glanced at the survivor with a bloody face. Xu Chong recognized the other party.

"Shi Hong, it's General Shi Hong and Shi!"

Ruan Xiu reached out to touch Shi Hong's neck, then leaned down and looked at Shi Hong's wound, and said, "General Xu, I'm afraid he'll find a doctor right away. General Shi's injury is too serious, and it's pure luck to be able to survive."

"He must be saved. Now Jingxiang is dead. What happened must be on him. I will take Jingxiang's body and General Shi first. Check it carefully to see who did it?" Xu Chong nodded.

"Who did it? I'm afraid I can guess it if I don't check it!" Ruan Xiu said with a wry smile.

"It's one thing to guess, it's another thing to have clear evidence. You can't let me say in front of my father that it was all I guessed, right?" Xu Chong glanced at the other party and said.

"I understand." Ruan Xiu nodded.

Xu Chong's temporary station was chosen in a small town dozens of miles away from the scene. When Ruan Xiu arrived here, it was already dark.

"General Shi Hong..."

Xu Chong was waiting for Ruan Xiu's arrival. After hearing the other party's question, he said, "There is a good doctor in the town. His life is probably saved, but it will probably take a few days to wake up. He is really lucky. He stabbed in and almost wiped his heart. After a moment of tilt, he was dead."

"It's a blessing in disgrace!" Ruan Xiu said with emotion. Sometimes people live, they really need to look at their luck.

"What's the discovery?"

Ruan Xiu said: "After the killer killed people, he cleaned up the scene. Shi Hong and these guards were not weak in combat. They were ambushed and shot by crossbows first. I am afraid that more than half of them would die. The rest were besieged to death, which can be seen from the wounds on their bodies. Those who injured them were standard weapons, and these killers all came out of the army."

"It's conceivable." Xu Chong sneered: "Can you determine who it is?"

"Although the killers cleaned up the scene and took all their people away, we found this at the scene after a long secret!" Ruan Xiu handed a sign to Xu Chong. "This was found in a ditch on the side of the road. It was covered by weeds, and they may not have found it."

"City Inspection Office!" Xu Chong gritted his teeth and said, "What a courageous person, he is so arrogant in my jurisdiction! Is this a waist card?"

"Of course it's not all." Ruan Xiu said: "The geese leave sounds, and the people leave traces. No matter how they hide it, there will still be traces left. I followed these traces and found some new discoveries. Five dead bodies were buried in grass, and we dug them out. Although these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes outside, they were dressed in the inner clothes of the Xunchengsi. Not far from the burial corpses, they found a war horse, which was shot to death by crossbow arrows, and the horse's butt was marked as the Xunchengsi."

"The evidence is conclusive." Xu Chong waved his fists: "Have you found these bastards' stop?"

"I found it. They are now in Yushan County, and there are more than 30 people. The leader is Yang Honggui, the general of the City Inspection Office." Ruan Xiu said.

Xu Chong turned around and walked out.

"Where is the general going?"

"Is this still necessary? Of course I'm going to catch that bastard."

"General Xu, Yang Honggui is the commander of the City Inspection Division, directly under the command of His Highness, and a third-rank military general." Ruan Xiu reminded.

"Bah, don't say that he is just a third-rank general, even if he is a first-rank general, I will tie him up and hand him over to my father for disposal." Xu Chong said angrily: "My father asked me to pick up Jingxiang, but the man did not follow him, and only followed a headless corpse. How could you explain to my father when you ask me to go back? Moreover, Jingxiang's head must be next to Yang Honggui. My father and Jingxiang have a good time for half a lifetime. How could he bear to see Jingxiang still have an incomplete body after he died?" Xu Chong said: "Click the troops and go to Yushan with me."

Ruan Xiu thought about it and it was indeed the case. Now Chang'an is not sure what the situation is, but it is indeed unreasonable to be assassinated on the side of the road when the prime minister was assassinated.

A group of hundreds of cavalrymen lit torches and headed towards Yushan County in a mighty manner.

At this time, in an inn in Yushan County, Yang Honggui, the general of the City Inspection Office, was staring at the head in front of him in a daze.

The head has been processed. Although the fabricated head is still a bit ferocious, it looks like it is Jing Xiang, the prime minister of Daliang who he wanted to catch on this trip.

But God felt sorry for him. He had never thought that what he saw would be a head.

Whether it was Zhu Youyu or Yang Honggui, they were just thinking about capturing Jingxiang alive. Before he could touch Jingxiang and his group, Jingxiang's head appeared in this inn for no reason.

They and his group booked the inn, but not long ago, a soldier from the city patrol found the skin in the horse corridor in the backyard, and the skin contained Jing Xiang's head.

It was vaguely, he felt something was wrong.

"Have you found any trace?" Yang Honggui asked violently as he watched his subordinates return to the hall one by one.

"General, I found nothing. We have interrogated the shopkeeper, waiter, husband, and mates in the inn. We have tried it carefully and used tricks. However, they know nothing and don't look like they are lying." A lieutenant said uneasy. Jing Xiang's head on the table was facing him at this moment. The former chief assistant now only had such a head left. No matter how he looked, he felt so furious.

Yang Honggui felt that there was an invisible net that was unknowingly covering him.

"Pack up your things, let's go!" Yang Honggui stood up suddenly.

"Where is this head?"

After hesitating for a while, Yang Honggui finally said, "Prepare it and take it away."

The group quickly packed their luggage. As soon as they walked into the yard, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from outside.

Without waiting for them to react, the gate of the yard was kicked from outside with a loud bang, and a tall horse rushed in through the smoke and dust.

"General Xu!" Yang Honggui exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the general who was on the high-headed horse.

Xu Chong stared at Yang Honggui condescendingly and sneered: "General Yang, don't be fine! It's hard to get a trip to my jurisdiction, why are you here quietly and ready to leave without saying a word?"

Yang Honggui's face was pale, and he knew very well that he had fallen into a carefully arranged trap.

"Take it all for me." As Xu Chong waved his hand, hundreds of soldiers rushed in and rushed towards the officers and soldiers of the City Guardian. There was a constant clanging sound, and the officers and soldiers of the City Guardian drew out their weapons and gathered together.

"General Yang, do you want to do it?" Xu Chong looked at the other party with a sneer.

Yang Honggui sighed, took off the sword from his waist and threw it on the ground.

"Everyone put down their weapons, they are all their own people, so there is no need to ruin the harmony between the two sides."

Ruan Xiu snatched a skin from an officer of the city patrol officer beside Yang Honggui, opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly, and turned around and handed it to Xu Chong. Xu Chong saw Jing Xiang's head inside, and his face also changed drastically. He suddenly raised the whip in his hand and thrust hard at Yang Honggui.
