When the huge ship slowly passed under the bridge, a thick fog appeared in the sky.As the fog gradually dissipated, a gorgeous colorful auspicious cloud appeared on the horizon. The people thought it was a good omen and cheered for the Song Dynasty together.
After the fog completely dissipated, many corpses floated on the river. Not far away, a raft floated quietly, with a pig's head hanging on the sail, and a piece of paper hanging next to it that read “行道道, a greedy pig will be treated.A sign with eight bloody characters.At this time, a man suddenly emerged from the bottom of the river, and Gu Zhen immediately ordered Wanfu to go and catch him.Zhao Buyu vaguely felt that the man looked like Wen Yue. He hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, but the man had quickly covered his face and swam away.
Although Wanfu sent people into the water to hunt him down, the masked man had already disappeared without a trace.At this time, Zhao Buyu caught a glimpse of Wen Yue with wet hair passing by in the crowd. He immediately chased after him, but was blocked again by Zhang Zeduan, who wanted to discuss the painting with him.But Zhao Buyu was anxious and had no thoughts, so he left in a hurry.Wan Fu was puzzled that the big ship disappeared out of thin air, while Gu Zhen remembered an old case fifteen years ago. At that time, Li Yan, the deputy envoy of Liangzhe Road, was arrested under Hongqiao on his way to Beijing to report on his duties.kill.
Zhao Buyu returned home with a lot of worries. Zhao Mo'er and Zhao Pan'er were celebrating him and Wen Yue, but they both had their own concerns, tested each other, and each concealed the truth.Zhao Buyu recalled how they met.Fifteen years ago, Li Yan and his entourage were killed. As a scribe of Dali Temple, Zhao Buyu went to the river to watch the excitement, but was accidentally pushed into the river.When he went to a clothing store to buy dry clothes, he happened to meet Wen Yue who was also buying clothes.
When two officers and soldiers came to the store to investigate, Wen Yue panicked.In order to protect her, Zhao Buyu lied that the two were an unmarried couple and successfully deceived the officers and soldiers.Wen Yue was grateful for his life-saving grace and lied that she was an orphan and a refugee, and also joked that she was the murderer of Li Yan.But Zhao Buyu fell in love with Wen Yue at first sight.
Zhao Pan'er and Zhao Mo'er hosted a banquet to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the acquaintance of Zhao Buyu and Wen Yue, and excitedly talked about the bizarre events on Hongqiao today.Zhao Pean'er noticed that Wen Yue's hair was wet when she came home, and Wen Yue lied that she was going to see a bamboo merchant.Both were preoccupied.After the bamboo merchant brought the snacks, Wen Yue reminded everyone not to eat them yet.Zhao Buyu took the opportunity to push the others away, showed off his cards to Wen Yue, concluded that the masked man on the river was her, and decided to leave Tokyo with his whole family.
Wen Yue opened the snack box and found a threatening letter inside: If you don't see the Dali Temple files tonight, I will kill your whole family.”Zhao Buyu came to the street and saw officers and soldiers registering people who had fallen into the water and had wet clothes.After Dillon, the director of Dali Temple, came after hearing the news, Gu Zhen asked him for the files on Li Yan's murder case, but Dillon found various excuses to evade it.
After Zhao Buyu heard the conversation between Gu Zhen and Dylan, he took the initiative to come to Gu Zhen to express his goodwill.He said that he could memorize the contents of Li Yan's file, as long as Gu Zhen could find him a job.Gu Zhen was puzzled as to why he wanted to change jobs.Zhao Buyu told what happened last night: there was a fire in the warehouse of Dali Temple, and only some old files were burned.Dylan asked him to take the blame for the drunken Luo Zhun, because Luo Zhun was a relative of the Minister of Civil Affairs.Dylan promised to promote Zhao Buyu and raise his salary afterwards, but he posted a notice announcing his expulsion early in the morning.
Zhao Buyu not only memorized the contents of Li Yan's file, but also made suggestions for Gu Zhen.Dylan was very dissatisfied with this and spoke harshly to Zhao Buyu.But Gu Zhen not only took Zhao Buyu under his command, but also entrusted him with important responsibilities.Dylan had no choice but to leave angrily.Zhao Buyu asked for the list of people who fell into the water from the officers and soldiers, and saw Wen Yue's name.He wanted to copy a new list, but the officers and soldiers declined and handed the list to Gu Zhen.At this time, the pig's head on the sail suddenly opened its mouth. Gu Zhen hurriedly went to check and found a toad hidden inside.Zhao Buyu took the opportunity to rewrite a list and remove Wen Yue's name.
The imperial court ordered Kaifeng Mansion to find the real murderer within three days.Wanfu reported on the progress of the case: the owner of the big ship was named Mei, and someone rented the ship for a large sum of money.The deceased were all stabbed to death by sharp weapons, but their identities have not yet been identified.Everyone whose clothes got wet after falling into the water has an alibi.And some time ago, a man named Xiao came to the capital with a group of people holding fake customs clearance documents.
Gu Zhen asked Zhao Buyu to introduce the case of Li Yan's murder fifteen years ago.Li Yan was beheaded, and the rest of his entourage were also killed with sharp weapons, exactly the same way as these people died today.Zhao Buyu clearly remembered that Di Lun investigated Li Yan's case and caught three murderers at that time.Wanfu suspected that Dylan had done something wrong and allowed the murderer to commit another crime.Dylan gritted his teeth at this.
Zhao Buyu suggested looking into Xiangrui's origins to find out the truth, but Dylan stopped him loudly and called Gu Zhen aside.He was worried that Cha Xiangrui would anger the court and affect Gu Zhen's career.But after careful consideration, Gu Zhen decided to start investigating from Xiangrui.
