The night is dark.

One hundred and eight square meters in Chang'an fell, and with the last sound of drums falling on the streets, they fell into silence.

A heavy rain caused the temperature to drop sharply on Chang'an night.

The night wind blows from the direction of Ba Bridge, with a little coolness.

Di Renjie went to bed!

He has not had a rest from yesterday to today.

He helped Pei Xingjian process the official documents and then reviewed the files. He was busy all day.

"Pei Jun asked me to continue to investigate the Yuzhen case.

In fact, this case could have been handed over to Yang Yizhi or you, but because it involved the royal family, Pei Jun did not want others to intervene. Before, Wei Shan was responsible for this case and said that there were clues. But now, he died, and the clues were cut off. I am going to investigate again and find Yu Zheng as soon as possible. Ami, you should help me this time."

"How can I help?"

"I searched through the files today and some records left by Weishan."

"What's the discovery?"

"You said, will the Goguryeo and the Jade Pillow Case be related?"

Su Dawei said: "It's possible."

He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Actually, there is one thing I have been hesitating about whether to tell my eldest brother."

"What's up?"

"Do you remember that day I told you that Wei Shuai sent us to arrest Manager Lu of Da'anfang?"

"Remember."

"Shopkeeper Lu was possessed strangely at that time."

"What?"

"Wei Shuai thought that this matter was a bit involved, so we must not spread the word.

I thought about it carefully. The movement in the Lu family’s tavern that day was a bit strange. At that time, two Hu people were killed, so Wei Shuai judged that it was Lu that manager Lu who ordered the Hu people to steal items, and then asked the buyer to trade in the tavern. Unexpectedly, we appeared, the buyer noticed the change, so he killed Manager Lu and the two Hu people, breaking through the cafeteria and escaped."

"Then what do you think is wrong?"

"Shopkeeper Lu was not dead at that time... After I went in, I found that something was wrong, so I used the knife left by my father to kill Manager Lu, which was considered to be the result of killing him. After that, Wei Shuai asked me to leave, and soon, he was killed.

After I came back last night, I carefully recalled the situation at that time.

I found that although the Goguryeo slaves who appeared in Guiyifang yesterday looked different from those who broke through the day, they used exactly the same weapons. You also said that the Goguryeo ghost soldiers have the ability to be easily shaped, so I wondered whether the Goguryeo ghost soldiers who broke through the Lu family restaurant that day would be the same person?"

"Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

"I'm not sure! At the Lu family's restaurant that day, I didn't fight with the other party, but I just felt that the weapons used were the same. After that, Qianniu appeared and directly blocked the scene. Even my ancestral crossbow was confiscated, and I didn't have the chance to confirm the sword... Well, I was wondering whether the weirdness of possessing Manager Lu would be an accomplice with the Goguryeo ghost soldier? If they were accomplices, how could I guarantee that there would be no third accomplice?"

"this……"

Di Renjie fell into silence.

It took him a long time to make a decision.

"I will go to the county government tomorrow and ask Pei Jun to come forward to see if I can bring the sword over and let the bad people involved in the arrest that day identify it?"

"Zhou Liang can do this. He also participated in the arrest that day and fought with the other party."

"good!"

Di Renjie said again: "I have one more thing, which is to invite you to go to the Lu Family Tavern tomorrow."

"Do you have another survey on the scene?"

“That’s right.”

"This is no problem, but you need to explain it in the yamen."

"Also, do you know, how to find out the news?"

"I don't know much about the source of Wei Shuai's news, but it's just a routine method. Brother can ask Zhou Liang for questions."

"You have a good relationship with Zhou Liang?"

Su Dawei didn't hide it and nodded with a smile.

He hopes to help Zhou Liang last year, or in other words, strengthen Zhou Liang's presence in front of Pei Xingjian.

"If he was really capable, I would have spoken good words to him in front of Pei Jun."

Di Renjie was not disgusted with this.

A small person has his own way of survival.

Like Su Dawei and Zhou Liang, who grew up in the market and served at the bottom, also had their ambitions. It doesn’t take much trouble to help, and you can get a favor. It’s not difficult for Di Renjie.

He was a little tired, so after dinner, he went back to his room to rest.

Lady Liu went out of the house to clean up the dishes and drove Su Dawei back to her room to rest.

As the sky got late, Lady Liu packed up the tableware and went back to sleep.

Su Dawei got up from the bed.

He covered the window with a quilt and lit the oil lamp.

Outside the door, there was a sound of scratching the door panel. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Hei Sanlang squatting on the ground outside the door.

Obviously, it was Su Dawei who alarmed it.

"Kizaburo, come in."

Su Dawei put Hei Sanlang into the room and closed the door.

He was afraid of the dog's head, and he whispered: "I'll let you in, but be honest, don't cause trouble for me, otherwise I'll beat you up."

Kurosaburo let out a weak whimper and lay down at the door.

Pick up the oil paper package from the head of the bed, take out the sheep's horn dagger, and cut the oil paper open.

There was also a layer of silk cloth inside, which seemed not very cheap. Su Dawei opened the silk cloth, and it was a box about 40 cm long, about 20 cm high, and 30 cm wide. The box was made of golden nanmu and had the logo of the Li Tang royal family on it. This shows that this box was a royal property... Su Dawei's heart suddenly became tight.

After hesitating for a moment, he opened the box.

There are quite a lot of things inside.

Wrapped in a yellow silk cloth, and there are also a dozen small boxes of large and small sizes.

I took out a box and opened it. It was a seal made of Tianhuangshi. The characters on the seal seemed to be large seal script. Anyway, Su Dawei didn't recognize it. There were also paperweights and jade pendants... Su Dawei took out the boxes inside one by one, opened them, and placed them on the table.

My heart is getting more and more nervous.

Because he recognized these things, it seemed that they were lost in the cases that Wei Shan was pursuing.

What's this?

At the bottom of the box, there is a cylinder about thirty centimeters long.

Su Dawei took it out and played with it in his hands.

Is this a bit like the demon-subduing pestle that warlocks often use?

The demon-subduing pestle is jade-colored, but it is not made of jade. The tentacles are warm, as if they are some kind of metal.

On the surface, there are cloud talismans and inscriptions, and there is a tiger's head on each side.

The moment Su Dawei picked up the demon-subduing pestle, Hei Sanro suddenly stood up and let out a low whimper.

"Kizaburo, quiet."

Hei Sanro has always been very obedient.

It was gentle to Lady Liu, and to Su Dawei, it was obedient.

In the past, as long as Su Dawei spoke like this, Hei Sanlang would shut up immediately.

But today... although it lowered its voice, it was still roaring in a low voice. Su Dawei frowned and turned his head to look at Heizakuro. He saw it stand up, his hair stood up, and he growled with grinning, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Heizaburo, what's wrong with you?"

Su Dawei walked towards it, but it retreated repeatedly.

"Are you... afraid of it?"

Su Dawei raised the demon-subduing pestle in his hand, and Hei Sanlang took a few steps in a row and made an attacking gesture.

Not daring to stimulate Heizakuro any more, Su Dawei quickly put down the demon-subduing pestle, walked to Heizakuro and squatted down, and hugged it in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's in my hands and won't hurt you.

I am Ami, Hei Saburo, do you still remember? Eight years ago, I took you home. You were still a little guy at that time. You see, now, you are so old, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller. Be obedient, don't be afraid, okay?"

Kurosaburo's body was a little resistant at first.

It trembled gently in Su Dawei's arms, showing its inner fear.

However, with Su Dawei's gentle words, Hei Sanlang gradually calmed down. It placed his chin on Su Dawei's legs, but his eyes were staring at the demon-subduing pestle on the table. After a long time, it broke free from Su Dawei's arms and lay down by the door again.
To be continued...
