The Golden Hairpin

Huang Zixia covered her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her head. She knew that she really couldn't think about it anymore, and if she continued to think about it, she would definitely collapse and go crazy.

The only thing she can do now is to put aside everything and rest first. In any case, there will be another twelve hours tomorrow, allowing her to find hope in despair.

Zhou Ziqin's work and rest are very good, go to bed and get up early every day, and today is no exception.

But after getting up, he took a look in the mirror and found that his face was ugly. He still sighed: "It's all to Chonggu. Yesterday King Kui had such a big incident. As soon as I heard the news, I hurried to find her in Yongchangfang. She I'm not here! What the **** is going on, I've been thinking about it all night!"

Because he didn't sleep well, when he opened the door and went out, his body was swaying and his eyes were only half open. But the person standing under the porch uttered "Zi Qin", but he almost jumped up in shock: "Chong... Chonggu?"

Huang Zixia stood outside his room door wearing a sable cloak. Seeing him clinging to the door in fright, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"You, you, you...I always go to you for everything. Why did you come and find me today?" Zhou Ziqin said, and when he saw her face, he was even more astonished, "What's the matter? I thought my face was ugly enough, why are you uglier than me?"

Huang Zixian didn't answer, she just said straightforwardly: "I have something to ask you, about King Kui."

"I asked you yesterday to inquire about this matter, but you didn't come back until the end of the Youmo!"

"I was going to check on some things last night, so I went back late and was almost interrogated by the curfew soldiers."

Zhou Ziqin asked her to sit down in her flower hall first, and then quickly went to the kitchen to bring her food, and first gave her a bowl of barley porridge.

"I have eaten it." Huang Zixia shook her head.

"Eat more, look at your appearance. I tell you that if you don't eat enough, you can't do anything at all, let alone a major event."

Hearing what he said, Huang Zixia took the porridge he handed over and took a few bites.

"Hurry up and tell me what happened yesterday? The whole capital was spreading that King Kui killed King E on the first day of the Lunar New Year! I was almost embarrassed when I heard that, how could this be possible!" Zhou Ziqin Ji I had to scratch my head and head, then scratched the table, and almost caught a few traces of the dark cases, "Say it!"

Huang Zixian held the porridge bowl, frowning and asked: "Does the entire capital know?"

"Yeah, I heard that King Kui was taken to the Xia Zongzheng Temple, and the body of King E was sent back to King E's Mansion!" Zhou Ziqin was so anxious that he couldn't even take care of his food. Hundreds of people have seen it with their own eyes! King Kui stabbed King E's heart with a sword. King E was still alive at the time, so he grabbed King Kui's lapels and screamed at the people coming from behind, King Kui killed me!"

Huang Zixian nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, King E did say so."

Zhou Ziqin really jumped up. He couldn't even care about the chopsticks being dropped on the back of his feet by him. He just asked urgently, "Ki Kui killed someone? King E slandered him, so he killed E in a fit of anger. Wang? Impossible. Kui Wang has always been calm, how could it be..."

Huang Zixia put down the porridge bowl and looked up at him: "Sit down and listen to me."

"Okay... okay." Zhou Ziqin was so anxious that he could only sit down obediently again, stretched his neck, and looked at her, wishing to take what she was about to say out of his belly.

"The King Kui was wronged." Considering that Zhou Ziqin would certainly not easily accept the fact that King E committed suicide to frame Li Shubai, so in order to avoid him being overly shocked, he only briefly said the most important point, "Although the murder weapon, It is indeed King Kui’s fish-intestine sword."

Zhou Ziqin, who was extremely shocked, finally came back to his senses at this time: "You mean, Prince Kui's internal response, dare to steal the fish bowel sword to frame King Kui?"

"Yes, moreover, it should be someone who is very close to the prince."

"Jing Yi? Or Jing Heng? Jing You seems to be lost in Shu, is he back?" Zhou Ziqin was still thinking, and Huang Zixia asked: "Do you remember that when we met Di Cui last time, she was there? Is the mark left for us at the end of the alley?"

Zhou Ziqin nodded vigorously: "Remember! But I still can't think of what that means..."

Huang Zixian took the chopsticks, dipped the barley porridge, wrote a Chinese character on the table, and drew a wrapper on the lower right side.

Zhou Ziqin looked at the sign and said, "Yes, that's it, but what does this mean? It means she is in the north of the city, let us go find her?"

Huang Zixian shook his head, and used chopsticks to add a dot on the vertical side of the ∟ shape.

Zhou Ziqin looked at the mark with a little bit added, and suddenly opened his mouth wider and wider, and involuntarily called out, "Escape!"

Huang Zixian nodded and said, "Yes, this is the news that Di Cui left us. She escaped. It's just that she knows few characters and writes irregularly. That point may be too small for us to pay attention to, so Has become such a weird symbol."

"Then why didn't she say it?" Zhou Ziqin asked.

"I think there must be a reason, but what about it, I still have to find Di Cui before asking."

Zhou Ziqin thought: "No, Chonggu, Di Cui is just an ordinary folk woman, and she is still a sinner. But where does she know that such a terrible thing will happen, so as to give us a warning?"

"Yes, the current emperor even the imperial physician and his family members are angry, how can he let go of her murderer's daughter?" Huang Zixia sighed and said, "With an identity like her, she knows what will happen in advance, knowing We will encounter the situation, and leave a message to warn us-guess where the source of her news will be?"

Zhou Ziqin thought about it, and then his face became more and more ugly. He looked at Huang Zixian, and he wanted to speak for a long time, until he couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a trembling voice, "Zhang... Brother Zhang?"

"Well, the only possibility, right?" Huang Zixia's voice was calm and slightly tired.

Zhou Ziqin was completely stunned. He sat cross-legged in front of her, his eyes straightened, and his mouth squirmed open several times, but after all he could not speak.

"I know, neither of you nor I dare to think... That person is Brother Zhang." Huang Zixia said, her voice fluctuated slightly, her mood was disturbed, and her breath was uneven. "If it wasn't him, it would be best, but if it was him ..."

"How could it be Brother Zhang?" Zhou Ziqin interrupted her angrily, "Chonggu, he is Brother Zhang! He, he and us were born to death, he has saved us more than once, and he has always loved it. Cui...How can you doubt him? How can you doubt our second brother Zhang?!"

Huang Zixian bit her lower lip, but couldn't restrain her rapid breathing. She had no choice but to look away from Zhou Ziqin's almost crying face, and choked up: "Zi Qin, Zhang Xingying is also my second brother Zhang, I... just as uncomfortable as you."

Seeing her sadness, Zhou Ziqin didn't know what to do, and finally comforted her in a low voice, "At least, at least it's not sure yet, isn't it? Maybe Second Brother Zhang isn't..."

Huang Zixian nodded vigorously, and the two were silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Huang Zixian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then she said: "Look, Ziqin, now I and King Kui have come to such a situation. There are few credible people around, and few reliable people... …"

Zhou Ziqin said in a low voice but firmly: "Don't worry, at least, I will definitely be on your side!"

"Yes, we are now in need of your help." Huang Zixia nodded, looked up at him, and said: "Your identity is special, and you may have the opportunity to be the person who examines the body of King E. I hope you will be there. Can check out spiders and horses and help us."

Huang Zixia's words made Zhou Zi and Qin Rumeng wake up. He nodded blankly, obviously still in extreme shock: "Well, if you ask me to go, I will check it out..."

Before the words were over, someone from outside ran in and shouted, "Master, Master!"

Zhou Ziqin turned to look at him, still looking stiff: "What?"

"The governor Liu who often comes from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has come, and he also brought a Duke Wu from Zongzheng Temple. I heard that he is asking you to go to the Royal Palace of E."

Zhou Ziqin glanced at Huang Zixia, shocked and said in a daze, "Okay, I'll go right away."

He got up and walked out, Huang Zixia said behind him: "Zi Qin, please."

He nodded and walked out quickly.

"A post-mortem..."

Zhou Ziqin's reaction was beyond the expectations of the Xing Department and Zongzheng Temple. Zhou Ziqin, whose life’s greatest hobby was an autopsy, suddenly changed **** today. He leaned cross-legged on Pingji, with a distressed look on his face: "The torture department has so much work, why are you looking for me?"

"Huh..." Governor Liu of the Criminal Ministry had an impulse to turn his head and look out the window to see if the sun today is green. "Master Zhou, your post-mortem skills are unparalleled in the world. At least, you are second in the capital. No one dares to rank first..."

"To tell you the truth, I found a fiancée, and she didn't like my autopsy, so in order not to be a bachelor for a lifetime, I didn't even care about catching my head in Shu land, and ran back to try to do something serious." Zhou Ziqin had a serious face, as if he was telling the truth.

Governor Liu cried a face and said, "Master Zhou, this matter is really impossible without you... The corpse examined this time is not an ordinary person's..."

Zhou Ziqin showed a proud look on his face: "It's not an ordinary person, do I have few experience? Princess Tongchang, a daughter of the royal family, an **** in the princess's house..."

"It's the remains of His Royal Highness King E." Governor Liu had to say clearly. "You know, the work of our Criminal Ministry is clumsy. One inspection of a corpse is like killing a pig. But King E's. Can the remains be made like this? Besides, not to mention that this matter is related to the imperial family, but those people can see the remains of the E's prince?"

Zhou Ziqin thought to himself, Huang Zixia was really good at it, and sure enough they found themselves. This hot potato was finally lost.

Now that he knew they were going to ask himself to check on King E, he pretended to be shocked, with his eyes and mouth wide open, expressing his immense mourning and flattering: "What? Is it King E?"

"Exactly, I don't know Young Master Zhou..."

"The Lord E has a lot of friendship with me, and his sudden death this time really hurts my heart and liver——" Zhou Ziqin sighed and said that he was going to get the tools. "Anyway, I must not let the body of the E Being tarnished, I can't help but define this!"

He ran to his room to pack his box. With a blink of an eye, he saw a thin young man standing beside him, and asked, "Where is my toolbox?"

The boy lifted a box next to him and said, "Let's go."

When he heard this voice, he was stunned. This slightly hoarse, low, youthful voice was once very familiar to him and belonged to that person alone. When he looked back, he saw a stranger with a sallow complexion and slightly drooping eyes. The boy's face was stunned: "You...who are you?"

"Yang Chonggu." Huang Zixia calmly adjusted the clothes on her body, "The clothes borrowed from Abi still fit, right?"

Zhou Ziqin twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Who helped you disguise?"

"Myself. There are so many messy things in your house, I found out and used it." She said, walking out.

Zhou Ziqin hurried to catch up with her carrying the box, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You have come to pack your things, of course you went to the Royal Palace of E for an autopsy, didn't you?"

Zhou Ziqin nodded quickly: "Then... are you still my assistant?"

She nodded: "Yes, I'm familiar with the road."

"When did Master Zhou get an assistant?"
