The world's medical concubine wants to divorce

Chapter 259 The Burnt Corpse

The vanguard troops sent by Song Yungang arrived at the top of Wolf Peak very quickly, and some people from Feilongmen had already arrived one step earlier. They had received the signal from Qianshan, but unfortunately, they were already one step late.

On the top of the Wolf Peak, there was only a burnt black corpse, and beside it was Lu Ning's sword.

There were bloodstains all over the ground, all the way from the grass to the woods, and the footprints were messy, which showed that it was really a scuffle just now.

Uncle Man personally brought people here. After investigating the scene, only a team of people went deep into the woods to explore.

Three of Song Yungang's men stayed here, and the rest followed suit.

Song Yungang arrived quickly, and Uncle Man stepped forward, "See you, my lord!"

"Cao Gang?" Song Yungang didn't know the real identity of Uncle Man.

Uncle Man said: "It's the Cao Gang, and it's also the Feilongmen, who got the signal from Qianshan."

Song Yungang couldn't help being startled, "The Cao Gang also belongs to Feilongmen?"

It seems that not only Liang Gui didn't know much about Feilongmen, but even he, the king of the town, knew very little about it.

Uncle Man didn't deny it, and said, "Yes."

"What did you find at the scene?" Song Yungang turned his eyes and saw a charred corpse on the ground. He stopped breathing suddenly, walked over quickly, squatted down, the corpse was burnt black, and it was impossible to distinguish its face. It can be seen from the height that it is about the same height as Lu Ning.

He lightly picked up the sword on the ground, feeling a pang of grief in his heart. This sword belonged to Lu Ning, and the word Lu was engraved on the hilt.

"My lord, I got a signal from Qianshan, what happened?" Uncle Man asked.

Lord Zhen endured the pain, and told about Qian Shan's report back. He heard that Lu Ning might be the one who was killed, and Uncle Man was also stunned. He knew that Lu Ning and Qian Shan's marriage date had already been fixed, and they would be married soon. We are getting married.

"As expected, Song Yunli is dead but not stiff." Uncle Man said coldly.

He turned around and yelled, "Come on!"

"The subordinate is here!" A Feilongmen disciple stepped forward.

Uncle Man ordered, "Go to the spy team immediately and see if there is anything found by the spy team."

"Yes!" The disciple took the order and left.

The spy team is a particularly mysterious department, which is only responsible for inquiring about news and not revealing its identity unless it is a special order.

For example, Wan Qiang was ordered to protect Wen Yi, otherwise, she would only spy on the news secretly.

The news will not be announced unless it is necessary.

The person who went deep into the woods to inquire quickly came out, "My lord, there is miasma in the woods, so I can't enter."

"Miasma?" Song Yungang frowned, "So, they have already gone down the mountain?"

Uncle Man shook his head, "Not necessarily, it's not impossible to enter the miasma barrier, as long as you take the antidote first."

"Pills for detoxification? Do you have any in Feilongmen?" Song Yungang asked.

"No, but people from the spy door can enter, and people from the spy door have poison-free gold pills in their bodies."

"Then please immediately send someone from the spy gate to investigate."

Uncle Man immediately turned around and ordered, while Song Yungang looked around.

Some of the grass under the corpse was burned, but it did not spread over a large area, which proved that only one corpse was burned.

He couldn't smell any tung oil and kerosene, and the burning smell was blown away by the strong mountain wind. He squatted down, but instead smelled the smell of charred meat.

This made Song Yungang very sad. Although he was not sure that the corpse was Lu Ning, but from the sword next to him and the height of the corpse, it was almost the same.

"Come on, send the body back to the Ministry of Punishment first."

After all, if someone died, the body could not be sent back to the palace first, it had to be sent to the Yamen first, so that the Yamen could determine the cause of death.

Because of Lu Ning's special status, he was an official ordered by the imperial court and commanded the Imperial Forest Army, so the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion could not deal with it, and could only be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.

The torches stretched all the way in the mountains, and more and more people went in to investigate. Several woodcutters with sickles on their backs also went in. They looked very ordinary, with dark skin and calluses on their hands, as if they had been collecting firewood in the mountains all year round. people.

These few are members of the spy team.

There are at most two or three missions sent out by the spy team, and few people will go together. It can be seen how much the Flying Dragon Sect attaches importance to Lu Ning's affairs.

Qian Shan is the maid of the gate master in Feilongmen, but the maid of the gate master has a high status in the gate, sometimes even the elders have to listen to her.

Lu Ning is Qian Shan's fiancé, at least the news of the cancellation of the marriage has not spread, Feilongmen should take it seriously.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the morning glow on the horizon is layered on top of each other, changing from light red at the beginning to orange, and then gradually brightening.

After a night of searching, everyone was tired, but no news came back yet.

All the teams sent out have come back to report the news, but the spy team has not yet returned.

Both Song Yungang and Uncle Man pin their hopes on the spy team.

By the end of the hour, the spy team hadn't come out yet.

Song Yungang became a little impatient, thought for a while, and ordered people to go down the mountain and search all the way up from the left and right sides.

He had ordered people to seal the road down the mountain a long time ago, and all passers-by on business trips had to check their identities before they could pass. Therefore, he concluded that if Song Yunli hadn't left quickly before Feilongmen and his people arrived, they would definitely have to leave. in the mountains.

The miasma may be a protective barrier for them. If their base is located behind the miasma, then the spy team will be very dangerous.

After all, ordinary woodcutters cannot pass through the miasma, nor can they collect firewood through the miasma.

At noon, everyone was a little tired, but no one gave up.

Song Yungang's people will not give up, because Lu Ning is in command of the Beijing Imperial Forest Army and the Forbidden Army. Although they are the guards of the palace and the personal soldiers of the palace, they are very familiar with Lu Ning.

Feilongmen will not give up.

The charred body has been transferred back to the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Xun was startled when he heard that someone from the palace reported that it might be Lu Ning, and hurriedly ordered Wu Zuo to come for an autopsy.

Wu Zuo knew it was Lu Ning, so he didn't dare to be careless, and checked carefully.

An hour later, Wu Zuo reported to Li Xun, "My lord, the deceased was eight feet tall (the ancient size is different from modern ones, one foot is about 24 centimeters, and eight feet is about 1.8 meters), with five wounds on his body, and his body was burnt. However, the wound shrunk, and it was determined to be a sword wound. There were marks of heavy blows on the head, and the back of the head was sunken. In addition, there were traces of smoke in the nose, mouth, throat, and lungs, which proved that the person was still alive when he was burned. "

After listening to Wu Zuo's report, Li Xun frowned slightly, "Is there anything to prove your identity?"

When Li Xun asked this question, he felt that it was unnecessary. A charred corpse, many physical features are not obvious, how to prove it?

Wu Zuo shook his head and said, "My lord, I can't find anything to prove my identity, except for the saber I sent back together."

"Have you met Lu Ning, what do you think..." Li Xun didn't ask further, his face was completely unrecognizable, it was just a piece of black charcoal.

Even though he knew it was irrational in his heart, he was unwilling to associate this corpse with Lu Ning.

"My lord, let's invite people from Lu's Mansion to come here once. The only thing that can confirm the identity of the corpse is a saber with the word Lu on it, but people from Lu's Mansion must personally confirm it." The servant of the punishment department stepped forward. road.

"Well, this matter, you go in person, and tell Mr. Lu well." Li Xun said softly.

"Yes!" The servant took the order and left.
