Chapter One Hundred and Thirty The Cavalry Lieutenant

Another way to judge the snake spirit is to take off the top, and the snake spirit's upper body is tattooed with snake tattoos. But if you know too much, it will inevitably alarm Huan Bin and even the top leaders of the snake spirit. At that time, it will not only be as simple as killing people to silence them, but you will even be killed. It seems that you can only pretend to be confused at the moment and let the matter go to nothing. Just pay more attention in the future.

Zhang Lin took out the handkerchief he carried with him, wrapped the dart handle, took it off Chen Shi, and hid it. This was the only evidence left by the assassin...

"The headless case was solved so quickly?"

After hearing the report of Zhang Lin and the other two, Wu Zetian was very surprised! She had originally expected Zhang Lin to solve the case in ten days, but she did not expect that he would solve the case in one or two days. Di Renjie's case still has no clue, and the verdict is made immediately. Although it is impossible to say that Zhang Lin is stronger than Di Renjie in such a case, there should be no problem if the two are equal.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Lin replied loudly. This was his first time to meet Wu Zetian at Shangyang Palace. He felt a little uneasy, but it would not appear on the surface, because he was not a person who had never seen the world. "I, together with the Ye Shiwei and General Huan, have found out that the headless body was an imperial guard of the Taiba camp, named Fan Deng, who was killed by the murderer Chen Shi and pretended to be."

Wu Zetian suddenly felt a sudden stern. She was most afraid of assassins. She didn't expect that the assassin would really change his face and get involved in the harem. This is awesome!

"Which palace is guarding in Taizi Camp?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Tai Cang guards the Imperial Study." Huan Bin, who was standing next to Zhang Lin, replied.

"What, Imperial Study?" Wu Zetian almost jumped up. The murderer had already smuggled into the imperial study, which was where she could approach her at any time! So, the reason why the murderer wanted to kill people and pretended to be an imperial guard and sneaked into the Yulin Army was undoubtedly aimed at her!

"It's really hateful! Come and execute the murderer Lingchi!" Wu Zetian shouted hysterically.

"Report to Your Majesty, the murderer was silenced on the spot!" Ye Yu, who was standing on the other side of Zhang Lin, said weakly. She knew that the emperor must be furious after hearing this, and might even take his anger on her, but this fact is too serious and cannot be concealed at all, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.

"What? So, there are assassins in the palace?" Wu Zetian said with a trembling voice.

"So that's it."

After hearing this, Wu Zetian seemed to have suffered a major blow and collapsed on the dragon chaise, with a pale face and a twitching corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor is in the Supreme Palace of Nine Five and is in the palace with strict guards. He should be the safest person in the world. However, now that the assassin has been involved in the Yulin Army, the most important thing is that you don’t even know who the assassin is. This is really a terrible thing for an emperor.

None of the three people standing in the hall dared to speak. If they didn't say a word at this time, they might be vented by the emperor. The emperor's anger would always bleed.

Zhang Lin glanced at Shangguan Wan'er standing on the right side of Yu Long's case. The latter had no expression on his face and looked at the air, as if he didn't notice Zhang Lin's gaze.

After a while, Wu Zetian recovered a little vitality and issued three orders in a row:

"Chop the body of the murderer Chen Shi into meat paste and feed it to the wolf."

"Replace all the guards in the imperial study room and the guards in Shangyang Palace!"

"Xuan Delang and Zhang Lin made great contributions to solving the case. He was appointed as the Caval Seiu and rewarded 1,000 taels of silver ingots! Continue to investigate the assassin's case, be sure to find out the spy hidden in the palace! The imperial guard Ye Yu and the Yulin Army General Huan Bin will work hard to help! No mistakes must be made!"

The rank of the Xiaoqiwei is above the sixth grade, one big rank and five sketches higher than the seventh grade. Although Zhang Lin experienced many dangers, he was promoted to five sketches in a row and received a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, which is a very rich unexpected gain.

The Cavalent is a great official, which is a reward for merit and a false title. It has no real power, but it has the vain meaning of a military officer, which is much more powerful than this and that.

"Thank you the emperor for your kindness!" Zhang Lin said solemnly after thanking you for your kindness, "Report to the emperor, the body of the murderer Chen Shi is the only clue of the spy case. I beg you to stay for the time being and sentence yourself to the punishment after the spy case is investigated."

"Authorize the report." Wu Zetian immediately agreed.

"Congratulations, the cavalry lieutenant!" Huan Bin congratulated Zhang Lin with a smile.

Ye Yu and Huan Bin also helped the case, but they did not receive promotion or reward from the emperor. However, they had no complaints, because they thought Zhang Lin's rank was too low, and it was really unhappy to ask them to obey a small official of the seventh and eighth rank. Now that the latter has been promoted to the sixth rank, they feel a little more comfortable.

"Where are you, please help me!" Zhang Lin said politely, and then asked them to come to Cuiyang Palace tomorrow morning to analyze the case.

Although he was promoted, Zhang Lin was not happy at all. Because he solved the headless corpse case in a short time, the emperor thought that he was a genius to solve the case and ordered him to investigate the assassin case in the palace. How could he solve it? The headless corpse case has at least one clue, but there is no clue at all. The only clue is the dart left on Chen Shi. The assassin killed people in front of so many guards. On the one hand, it shows that his martial arts are extremely powerful and he can kill people invisibly. On the other hand, it shows that there are spies in the guards who work together to cover him up.

Then, Zhang Lin was very thoughtful and rushed to Shangshi Bureau without stopping.

The raw materials have been prepared, and today is the last day of the deadline given by the emperor, so he has to hurry up. Fortunately, Qiushuang helped him preside over the publication of the scriptures, and he can spend some time on sugar making.

Compared with solving cases and printing scriptures, making candy is the easiest job.

At the end of work, the five dou of sugar assigned by the emperor was successfully completed, and Zhang Lin also made two extra dou to save it for later use.

Cuiyang Palace.

Zhang Lin sat down behind the table and placed the dart that killed Chen Shi on the table. The dart was covered in blood and the bloody smell was quite unpleasant. He tried it with a silver needle and found it was poisonous.

Just with such a poisonous dart, how to solve the case?

Zhang Lin frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully. The dart was about three inches long, the handle was one inch long, and the cowhide was tightly wrapped around. The dart was two inches long and there was a bloodletting groove in the middle. That is, once it was shot by the dart, even if it was not a fatal key, it would bleed to death.

Generally speaking, if a person who is caught in an arrow or a dart does not pull out the arrow or a dart, he will not die for the time being. It seems that this assassin is extremely cruel. He uses a grooved dart and even has poisoned it, which means he will take his life if he takes action!

Zhang Lin kept replaying the scene in his mind that he was kidnapped by Chen Shi and was silenced. At that time, Chen Shi rushed down from the roof, not attacking him at first, but attacking Huan Bin. He used the rebound force generated by the attack on Huan Bin to suddenly kill him. In this way, Huan Bin was suspected of helping Chen Shi hijack him and escape. Otherwise, how could Chen Shi's attack on him be designed so perfectly? It was simply seamless.

When Chen Shi was about to tell him about his mission to sneak into the palace, he became a dead man. However, because Ye Yu and other imperial guards were present, Huan Bin did not take action, but instead attacked by another spy, which was certain.

It is easy to find the spies in the palace, because Zhang Lin already knows who are spies, Hu Jinghui, Huan Bin, etc., and they are all accurate in each case. But it is simple to say, but it is not easy to find Hu Jinghui and Huan Bin? First of all, they are both martial arts masters and can silence themselves at any time. Secondly, there is no trace of any bad things they do.

According to the Yonghui Law of the Tang Dynasty, all crimes must be proven before they can be decided. Without evidence, how can they be spies? They also said you are spies? You, Zhang Lin, were very close to Princess Yiyang and the Envoy at the ceremony!

What should I do next?
