Chapter 153

If he had not yet mastered Xiao Yilin's criminal evidence, he would even take him down on the spot.

Xiao Yilin was not annoyed to see him like this. After all, he had the upper hand and had trapped Xiao Yiyuan steadily.

After the eunuch came out of the palace and followed the bodyguard, he asked him and other ministers to enter the palace. Then he waved his sleeves and strode to the palace.

When the prime minister passed by Xiao Yiyuan, his steps stopped for a moment.

The two men's eyes met and nodded without any trace, conveying the meaning of helping each other.

When all the people enter the palace, the gate of the palace is cold again. Xia Jin, who has just seen everything, weighs it in her heart and speaks to Xiao Yiyuan

"Lord Yi, you shouldn't be responsible for me."

Just now he and Xiao Yilin's verbal confrontation, she all see in the eye.

Lousong and other five court officials' residences were destroyed, and none of them survived. He would have been in endless trouble in charge of the Ministry of punishment. However, at this time, he took the responsibility she should have taken.

He treated her so well that she couldn't bear it.

"I'm glad to be able to share the responsibility for you."

Xiao Yiyuan's deep and deep vision falls on Xia Jin, and her throat is sliding up and down. Her low voice is full of the most touching love words in the world, overflowing from his lips.

Xia Jin was in a daze for a long time, until he stepped forward and leaned close to her. His thin lips opened in her ear

"If you really find it hard to accept, you can promise. After all, I've wanted you... For a long time."

The hot breath and the shameless words make Xia Jin instantly come back to her senses. She pushes him away and quickly steps back. She is embarrassed.

In the light of torch and lantern at the gate of the palace, two red halos quietly rose on the pretty face.

Xia Jin angrily stares at him, but her eyes collide with the deep eyes that contain strong love in mid air.

The beating of the heart, in this instant disordered rhythm, like a frightened fawn.

See Xia Jin reaction so big, although Xiao Yiyuan love to appreciate her shy appearance, but also dare not do too much, lest annoy the beauty.

"Cough..."

He covered his nose with his hand and coughed gently. He changed the topic

"The two cases happened tonight have to be investigated together. At the moment, there must have been some progress in the criminal department. After all, it is doomed to be difficult to sleep tonight. So you and I will go to have a look together?"

Previously, in the imperial study, his father and Emperor personally ordered him to cooperate with each other in the investigation. Within 10 days, he found out the truth about the killing of the officials and the assassination of the prisoners in the prison.

He said so, Xia Jin should not refuse.

"Well."

If as Xiao Yiyuan expected, after his words, Xia Jin was silent and immediately nodded.

Seeing that she had no objection, Xiao Yiyuan stepped in front of her, stretched out his long arm, held her slender waist, and then raised his internal power. They both jumped up at the same time and jumped onto Xiao Yiyuan's horse in the corner of the palace gate.

Xia Jin is still in shock, and Xiao Yiyuan has tightened the horse rope.

As he blew a whistle, the horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed, and then rushed forward as fast as a sword of light that pierced the darkness.

The horse's hooves trampled on the cold and silent Main Street, and the clear sound spread far away.

More than half an hour later, the horse finally stopped in front of the gate of the Ministry of punishment in the southeast of the capital.

Xiao Yiyuan first dismounted, and then helped Xia Jin down from the horse.

The night is deep and strong, but when people sleep well in the day, the lights are bright inside and outside the Department of punishment, and there are figures everywhere walking in a hurry.

Only at a glance, Xia Jin felt the seriousness and heaviness of the atmosphere.

She followed behind Xiao Yiyuan, straight through the courtyard, into the front hall, straight to the back hall.

Wang Zhizheng, the left servant of the Ministry of criminal justice, is discussing the case with the officials of the Ministry of criminal justice in the back hall. However, Yu Guang suddenly glances at a figure coming in from the outside. As soon as he sees it, they are Xiao Yiyuan and Xia Jin.

He quickly got up and went to them. When the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, the doctor, the councillor, and the eight principal saw him get up, they followed his line of sight, and immediately saw Xiao Yiyuan and Xia Jin, who were walking towards the inner hall. They also quickly got up to meet each other.

When Xiao Yiyuan saw them, he would kneel down and salute

"Excuse me. Let's get down to business."

"Yes, Lord Yi."

Xiao Yiyuan is the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, but his most noble identity is king Yi, the God of war who has made great achievements in the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, all the officials of the Ministry of punishment treated him with the courtesy of the Lord.

At the same time, Xiao Yiyuan reaches out to hold Xia Jin's hand. In Xia Jin's surprise, he leads her straight to the upper seat in the hall.

"Now that you have gathered here, what have you got?"

As soon as Xiao Yiyuan sat down, he went straight to the main topic, completely ignoring the surprise of the people because he dragged Xia Jin to sit in the upper position.

Although Wang Zhi was surprised, he was the first to respond.

He coughed all over to remind people to come back to their senses. Then he arched his hand to Xiao Yiyuan, who was sitting in the upper position

"Wang Ye, Chen Chen and other adults went to the residence of loushangshu and other officials respectively to check. They found that 463 victims' wounds in the five prefectures where they were killed were all in the neck. One knife was fatal, and it was a knife wound. According to the comprehensive analysis of the technique, the depth of the wound, and the time of death of the officials in each prefecture, there was only one murderer in the five prefectures."

"Alone?"

Xiao Yiyuan's sword eyebrows are tightly wrinkled.

There are more than 400 people, and they have to cross nearly half of the capital city to kill them. How can one person do it?

How hard is the other party's heart to kill more than 400 people, including the old, the weak, the women and the children?

If there is no error in Wang Zhi's report, few people can do it in the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

Among these few people, who would be related to Xiao Yilin?

Xiao Yiyuan couldn't help falling into deep thinking

When Xia Jin saw him like this, she didn't want to interrupt him. After sorting out what Wang Zhi had just said in her mind, she asked:

"Since only a few guards died in commander Han's mansion, can anyone tell us the situation at that time?"

"We found six guards and servants who were present at that time. According to their description, there were three assassins in commander Han's house at that time. They were tall and fierce. They all held a long knife in their right hand and a dagger in their left hand. The wounds on the victims' bodies were mostly in the chest, back and head. The depth of the wounds was different, and the cutting technique was completely different from that of the other five prefectures. "

Wang Zhi knows Xia Jin's position in front of Xiao Yiyuan and doesn't slack off on her problems. He tells her everything he finds.

Xia Jin finished listening and nodded slightly. She began to sort out the clues in her heart.

The six court officials who were attacked by killers tonight were all involved in Liu Hu's report.
