Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 32 Pei Lun's Talent for Solving Cases

"Hey, dear brother..."

Pei Lun wanted to reach out to stop it, but it was too late.

Looking at Lu Wenzhao's head rolling to the ground, he shook his head regretfully: "What a pity, I originally wanted to catch him alive."

Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Even if we arrest him, he might not reveal the identity of that person. Killing him would only put the blame on him, wouldn't it?"

Pei Lun was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."

The two smiled at each other, then turned around and joined the surrounding battlefield to help deal with the remaining men in black.

After Lu Wenzhao's death, the remaining men in black were just a mob. Although they were ruthless and decisive, they were ultimately a bunch of second-rate people. Under the siege of the crowd, their numbers gradually decreased.

Seeing that the situation was already decided, Pei Lun originally planned to capture a few of them alive. However, this group of people fought desperately and would rather die than surrender. When he killed the last two, seeing that he was powerless to save the situation, they jumped off a cliff and chose to commit suicide.

The battle is over.

Pei Lun frowned and said, "They can be so cruel to themselves. I'm afraid these guys are all assassins trained by Lu Wenzhao."

Jiang Xuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

The current threat has been completely resolved.

"grown ups!"

Everyone around gathered around, and Wen Lianggong also came forward to greet Jiang Xuan.

Pei Lun glanced at the bloody battlefield and ordered, "Clean up the battlefield first and take all the corpses back."

"Yes!" Everyone immediately took action.

Pei Lun looked at Jiang Xuan and asked, "How are you, brother? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Xuan shook his head.

"I have something to say, sir!" Xu Longqing walked up with a weak look on his face.

"Hiss..." Pei Lun couldn't help but gasp when he saw his injuries. He quickly ordered, "Hurry up and bandage this brother. Stop the bleeding first, and send him back for treatment."

Jiang Xuan didn't say much. Xu Longqing had indeed contributed a lot in this battle. If he hadn't held back the group of black-clad warriors at the beginning, he might not have been able to defeat Shen Lian so quickly.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Xuan asked, "By the way, Brother Pei, how did you know that Lu Wenzhao brought people to ambush and kill us?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Lun let out a long sigh and said, "This matter has to start from half a month ago."

"That bastard Lu Wenzhao sent you to Jinglu Tunbu to die. I felt something was wrong, but he's my superior, so I can't help him. I can only investigate his background and see if I can find any evidence against him so I can take him down and give you some revenge."

"I didn't expect that I would find something when I checked."

Pei Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Wenzhao's corpse, and said, "Although the archives were burned, he probably didn't expect that there was also a file on our Jinyiwei internal personnel in the Southern Division."

"He's a Qian Hu, and his file isn't accessible to ordinary people. However, I used to hang out in the Southern Division, and I have a lot of brothers, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to check a Qian Hu's file."

"I only found out after checking that this guy, like Guo Zhen, was from a frontier army. Eight years ago, during the Battle of Sarhu, he, Shen Lian, and Guo Zhen were all in the Western Route Army. He is also proficient in the Qi family swordsmanship and initially used a Qi family sword."

"To avoid arousing suspicion, he later switched to a large Imperial Guards sword, similar to the Qi family sword, and rarely used it. But how could he have hidden it from my eyes?"

Pei Lun sneered and said, "Ever since then, I've suspected that Ding Baiying and the others who also used Border Army martial arts were probably his men."

"There is also Shen Lian..."

Pei Lun asked, "Brother, do you remember when we arrested Shen Lian, he said he didn't kill Guo Zhen, nor did he burn the archives?"

Jiang Xuan nodded: "I remember."

Pei Lun nodded and said, "Because of this incident, I became even more suspicious. I then looked into the case from the night the archives library caught fire, and I found that the timeline didn't match!" "According to the guards, the archives library fire and Shen Lian's prison break happened almost simultaneously."

"The archives and the prison are so far apart that it's impossible for Shen Lian to set fire and rescue the prisoners at the same time in such a short time."

"That is to say, Shen Lian did not lie, and he was not the one who set the fire!"

Jiang Xuan looked at Lu Wenzhao's body: "Is it him?"

"Not bad!"

Pei Lun said in a deep voice, "He was also on duty at the Northern Division that night. When the document library caught fire, he was the first to discover it and lead people to put out the fire. How could such a coincidence be possible?"

"So I'm certain that he's also from Prince Xin's Mansion. He was the one who had Guo Zhen tamper with the treasure ship the emperor was riding on, and then had Ding Baiying and others kill Guo Zhen to silence him."

"He happened to encounter Shen Lian's prison break, so he took the opportunity to burn down the archives, further destroying the evidence, and then put the blame on Shen Lian for everything."

"Poor guy, he didn't even know before he died that he was being used as a swordsman."

Pei Lun glanced at Shen Lian's corpse, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Jiang Xuan and said, "As for you and Brother Yin being sent to Jinglu Tunbu to die, it was most likely because he wanted to avenge Ding Baiying and the others."

"Since then, I have been keeping a close eye on him, hoping to find solid evidence."

"Until this morning, he secretly went to the Imperial Prison and took Shen Lian away. He had people in the Imperial Prison cooperating with him, but he didn't know that I also had people in the Imperial Prison."

"After learning about this, I sent people to secretly watch him to see what he was planning to do."

"It wasn't until he led his men out of the city that I realized you should be back soon, brother, so I quickly led my men to chase after him."

"Luckily, we're not too late. Otherwise, if we don't catch him this time, I'm afraid he'll go after me and Brother Yin next!"

Seeing that Pei Lun was able to deduce and find out everything through such a small clue, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel even more impressed. This guy was simply born to be a good investigator.

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "I did encounter an ambush when I went to the border this time. A captain of the border army named Xue Yanchuan, who was also Lu Wenzhao's subordinate, tried to lead his men to ambush and kill me, but I ended up killing him in return."

"This bastard deserved his death!"

Pei Lun cursed and then said, "In that case, brother, come with me to the Northern Division tonight. With so much evidence, we can definitely incriminate this guy!"

"If I'm lucky, maybe I can fill his shoes and become a thousand-householder!"

A hint of heat appeared in Pei Lun's eyes.

Jiang Xuan nodded and then reminded him, "Brother Pei, just stop here. After all, we don't have any evidence to prove that Prince Xin planned all this, nor do we have any evidence to prove that he and Guo Zhen are members of Prince Xin's mansion."

Pei Lun nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to say."

……

into the night.

Beizhen Fusi.

When Jiang Xuan and others rushed back to the yamen with the bodies of Lu Wenzhao and others, it instantly caused a huge shock.

A captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard died, and he was a captain of one of the five core institutes. This was a major event that could reach the sky.

Suddenly even the people from the East Factory were alarmed.

Jinyiwei Commander Tian Ergeng and Beisi Pacification Commissioner Xu Xianchun immediately came to the yamen to personally try the case.
