Twocorpsesare placed there, was palelikelyis the shoddystuffed dummy, Shu LeCrown Princelooked atone, the complexionalsobecameequallypale, turned aroundto retch, got to the entrancequickly, is not willingto face the corpse.
两具尸体摆在那里,惨白得像是拙劣的假人,疏勒太子看了一眼,脸色也变得一样惨白,转身干呕,快步走到门口,再也不肯面对尸体。Shangguan Faput out a handto pressin the firstcorpsechest frontwound, „knife wound.”上官伐伸手在第一具尸体胸前的伤口上按了一下,“刀伤。”
The blade of murderon the swayedinside, the typicalGolden Rocslenderblade, the deadisMa Lian'sguard, centerthisblade the heart, the wounddemonstrationblade of fingertipsizepunctures not deeply, passes in and outis quick, indicated that Assassin(s)is the famousexpert.
杀人的刀就摆在旁边,典型的金鹏狭刀,死者是马廉的护卫,这一刀正中心脏,指尖大小的伤口显示刀刺得不深,进出非常快,表明刺客是名高手。
The secondcorpseis considered that isAssassin(s)oneself.
第二具尸体被认为就是刺客本人。Thatis a veryyoungman, the lip of slightlyappears a naivete, the bodyaltogether hastwowounds, is at the temples, is at the ventralis.
那是名非常年轻的男子,微张的嘴唇显出一丝稚气,身上共有两处伤口,一处在太阳穴,一处在腹侧。„Sword cut.”Gu Shenwei said that „the firstswordstabbingventralis, center the secondswordstrategic point.”
“剑伤。”顾慎为说,“第一剑刺中腹侧,第二剑正中要害。”In the surfacethesetwoswordswere inferior that the wound on firstcorpseis perfect, in view of the fact thatAssassin(s)martial artsis very good, moreoveris maintaining the vigilance, killshisperson to be fiercer.
表面上这两剑不如第一具尸体上的伤口完美,但是鉴于刺客武功很好,而且保持着警觉,杀他的人应该更厉害一些。Twoautopsyraise the headlooks atonemutually, feelsto the presentsceneinconceivable: Theystandin the sametent, talkedpolitely, has not begununexpectedly.
两名验尸者抬头互望一眼,都对眼下的场景感到不可思议:他们站在同一顶帐篷里,客客气气地交谈,竟然没有动手。Anybodywantsto welcomeregards the Supreme Kingvisionto needcertaincourage, Gu Shenweiis fearless, is togetherfor a long timewithShangguan Fa, spansis weakerin the tensefeeling of chest, at timessurges the impulsion that draws a sword, thisimpulsivehas nothing to dowith the revenge, wantsto proveownstrengthpurely.
任何人想要迎视独步王的目光都需要一定的勇气,顾慎为无所畏惧,与上官伐相处得越久,横亘在心口的紧张感越弱,时时涌起拔刀的冲动,这股冲动与复仇无关,纯粹是想证明自己的实力。KillsSupreme Kingis one of the Gu Shenweimost formidablestrengthsources, at this timeactuallyfellto the dispensabledegree.
杀死独步王是顾慎为最为强大的力量来源之一,这时却降到可有可无的程度。„Whoyouare very clear is a murderer/culprit.”Shangguan Fasaid,in the provocationtoyoung peoplevisionis aloof.
“你很清楚谁是真凶。”上官伐说,对年轻人目光中的挑衅无动于衷。Gu Shenweishakes the head, refusingfirstto say the goal, „Idid not know that thisAssassin(s), does not knowkillshispersonanyone.”顾慎为摇摇头,拒绝第一个说出目标,“我不认识这名刺客,更不知杀死他的人谁。”
The Shangguan Favisionis similar to the seais ordinary, as if no storm to moveitssurface, the corners of the mouthactuallyslightlyreveals a ridicule the happy expression, „Ithink that thisAssassin(s)is the New Moon Halldisciple, killshispersonisHe Nu.”上官伐的目光如同海洋一般深邃,似乎没有风暴能吹动它的表面,嘴角却微微露出一丝讥讽的笑意,“我认为这名刺客是晓月堂弟子,杀死他的人是荷女。”
The happy expression of profoundvisionandridicule, twoentirely differentexpressionssimultaneouslyappearin a face, probably a steadyoldLion Kingfacing the challenge of younglion, actuallyonlygives an absent-mindedyawn.
深邃的目光与讥讽的笑意,两种截然不同的表情同时出现在一张面孔上,好像一只稳重的老狮王面对年轻雄狮的挑战,却只给出一个心不在焉的哈欠。Gu Shenweiwas enraged, „New Moon Halldoes not have the maledisciple, He Nunot to use the person of swordonly.”顾慎为被激怒了,“晓月堂没有男弟子,荷女也不是唯一用剑的人。”„Perhaps, youplanned that whomgivesCentral Plains? SomeBladesman in south citypoorstreetmean alley?”
“或许吧,那你打算把谁交给中原?南城穷街陋巷里的某个刀客吗?”Gu Shenweidiscoveredoneselfwere swindled, thisisZhong Hengso-called„truth”and„solution” the difference, gives a Central Plainsfairmurderer, is more importantinstigation who the excavationis more true, whenhedenied when New Moon HallandHe Nuaremurderers/culprits, in facttooneselfhave put on„truth” the shackles.顾慎为发现自己上当了,这就是钟衡所谓“真相”与“解决”的区别,交给中原一名合情合理的凶手,比挖掘真正的主使者更重要,当他否认晓月堂与荷女是真凶时,实际上给自己套上了“真相”的枷锁。„Thisis notaccidentalassassination, is early deliberate.”Hesaid,collectsrunsfarhas drawn a swordimpulsive, „whoobtains benefitsmanyatthismatter, whois a murderer.”
“这不是偶然的暗杀,早有预谋。”他说,收束已经跑得太远的拔刀冲动,“谁在这件事上获益最多,谁才是凶手。”„Hasn't New Moon Hallobtained benefits?”Shangguan Faputs aside the vision, probablyis interestedintwocorpses, „heard that the goals of theselunaticswant the worldwide chaos, theygoodto fish in troubled waters, introducesWestern Regionnot to conform tothisgoal the Central Plainsarmy?”
“晓月堂没有获益吗?”上官伐移开目光,好像对两具尸体更感兴趣,“听说那些疯子的目的就是要天下大乱,她们好从中混水摸鱼,将中原军队引入西域不正符合这一目的吗?”„Hopesto introduce the Central Plainsarmy, not onlyNew Moon Hall, you.”Gu Shenwei, observed the response of Shangguan Fa, „twomonths ago, youthousandride the pass/testto give toCentral Plains, tonot provoke a war?”
“希望引入中原军队的不只是晓月堂,还有你。”顾慎为顿了顿,观察上官伐的反应,“两个月前,你将千骑关献给中原,不就是为了挑起一场大战吗?”Shangguan Fanodsunexpectedly, „right, butyourin the handhadmore than 200,000Northern Courtcavalriesat that time, twocontend, Golden Roc Castlecanprofit, now the Central Plainsarmyhas become the potential of sweeping away, why can Ialsomakethemcome?”上官伐竟然点点头,“没错,可那时你手里有二十几万北庭骑兵,两强相争,金鹏堡方能从中渔利,现在中原军队已成横扫之势,我为什么还要引他们来?”„I can still call the Northern Courtcavalry.”
“我仍能将北庭骑兵召来。”Shangguan Fagazes atGu Shenweionce more, the facial expressionlightlyactuallyobviouslycallously, „, youcannot, becauseyoustartto care about the surnamelife of officers, the fearsacrificewas too big, moreoveryoualsoknow that the decisive battlewas meaninglesstoyou, regardless of the victory and defeat, the Northern Courtpersonwill return the prairie, left behindyouto continuefacing the Central Plainsoffensive. Thereforeonce the Central PlainsarmyopenstoWestern Region, youwill roboneto attackGolden Roc Castle, thenalsosamein all directionsran awayto leap upwith the past.”上官伐再次注视顾慎为,神情平淡却更显冷酷,“不,你不能,因为你开始在乎将士们的姓命,害怕牺牲太大,而且你也知道决战对你毫无意义,无论胜负,北庭人都会退回草原,留下你继续面对中原的攻势。所以中原军队一旦开向西域,你会抢走一步攻打金鹏堡,然后还跟从前一样四处逃蹿。”
The Golden Roc CastleandDragon Army of involvement of Central Plainstodoes not have the advantage, Gu Shenwei to acknowledgethis point, actuallyloathesShangguan Faas ifto have a clear knowledge ofallexpressions, „Iwantto look at the corpse of Central Plainsenvoy.”Hesaid,shiftstopicstiffly.中原的介入对金鹏堡和龙军都没有好处,顾慎为不得不承认这一点,却厌恶上官伐似乎洞晓一切的语气,“我想看中原使节的尸体。”他说,生硬地转移话题。Wei Songis waiting fortheminanothertent, shakes the headfacing the request of Dragon Kingseriously, „Ido not know that the Western Regioncustomisanything, the remains of Central Plainstohonored personrespects, Sirhorsein the cityassassination, is the hugemisfortune, hisremainsentered the coffin, Icannotdocoffinautopsymatteragain.”卫嵩在另一顶帐篷里等着他们,面对龙王的要求严肃地摇头,“我不知道西域的风俗是什么,中原对贵人的遗体是非常敬重的,马大人城中遇刺,已是巨大的不幸,他的遗体已经入棺,我不能再做开棺验尸这种事。”Supreme Kingas if not care, said goodbyepolitely, commanded troopsto return toJade City.独步王似乎不太在意,客气地告辞,率兵返回璧玉城。Only when remainingtwopeople, Wei Songexchanges the kindmanner, „is working asSupreme King, Imustbe conscientious in discharging official duties, ifDragon Kingwantsto examine the corpsereallyvery much, Icantry to find the solution.”
只剩下两个人时,卫嵩换上亲切的态度,“当着独步王,我必须公事公办,龙王如果真的很想查看尸体,我可以想想办法。”Gu Shenweishakes the head, hechangedidea, decided that temporarilydoes not strive foranyhelpfromWei Songhere, „does not use, it is estimated thatcannot look upanything, withinthreedays, Iwill giveSirhealth/guard the murderer.”顾慎为摇摇头,他改了主意,决定暂时不从卫嵩这里争取任何帮助,“不用了,估计也查不到什么,三天之内,我会将凶手交给卫大人的。”Wei Songlowers the soundslightly, „thisis the good opportunity of revenging, ifsomeevidenceindicated that Golden Roc Castleis relatedwith the death of horseSir, does not useand other Imperial Courtdecrees, Icanorderto capture aliveShangguan Fa.”卫嵩稍稍压低声音,“这是报仇的好机会,如果有证据表明金鹏堡与马大人之死有关,不用等朝廷的旨意,我就可以下令活捉上官伐。”OnWei Songfaceearnestsosincere, the Gu Shenweiwillpoweris slightly weak a pointalsoto accept as true, hisperformanceabilityis not bad, the nodexpresses the support, „thisindeedis an opportunity, Ihad made the probea moment ago, the envoyassassination is really perhaps concernedwithShangguan Fa.”卫嵩脸上的热切如此真诚,顾慎为的意志力稍弱一点也会信以为真,他的表演能力也不差,点头表示赞同,“这的确是一个机会,我刚才做过试探,使节遇刺或许真与上官伐有关。”„So long asDragon Kingprovided a reason......”Wei Songto paton the Gu Shenweishoulderaffectionatetwo, repeatedlysaid: „So long asDragon Kingprovides a reason.”
“只要龙王提供一个理由……”卫嵩亲昵地在顾慎为肩上拍了两下,重复道:“只要龙王提供一个理由。”Just before leaving before, Gu ShenweisawDugu Xian, alonearmGeneral can still controlthat10,000Central Plainsofficers, but he qualifications that only then the right of self-defense, has not orderedto battle, in the bigoperation side, must take ordersinWestern Regionprotect the officer.
临走之前,顾慎为见了一次独孤羡,独臂将军仍能控制那10000名中原将士,但他只有自卫权,没有下令作战的资格,在大的行动方面,仍需听命于西域都护官。Dugu Xiantoinvestigationmanyopinions, onlyto the futuresituationhad not proposed that a possibility, „Central Plainsis not willingto give upby some chance, the battlefieldcannotelectinJade City, Dragon King to order the Northern Courtcavalryto obstruct the Central Plainsarmyin the halfway, introduces the smoothprairie the enemyas far as possible, the odds of successormaydramaticallyincrease.”独孤羡对查案没有多少见解,只对未来的局势提出一种可能,“万一中原不肯罢休,战场绝不能选在璧玉城,龙王得命令北庭骑兵在半路上阻截中原军队,尽可能将敌人引入平坦的草原,胜算或可大幅增加。”Finallythisis the choice that has no other choice but, Gu ShenweirequestsDugu Xianto draw up the course of action, afterwardputs downittemporarily, hewantsto discover the murderer/culprit.
这是最后不得已的选择,顾慎为要求独孤羡拟定作战方案,随后将它暂时放下,他还是想找出真凶。In the afternoon, Gu Shenweimoved intosouth city, Hu Shininghas obtained the reliabledomainin the southeast corner, establishedtenmulti-layer defensemeasures, resistedbesieging of large quantities ofBladesmansufficiently.
当天下午,顾慎为入驻南城,胡士宁已经在东南角取得牢固的地盘,建立十多层防御措施,足以抵挡大批刀客的围攻。All partiesagreed withtruceinFour Truths Temple, Zhong Henghas been busyforthismatter, Gu Shenweiarrives attime, south cityalready is well, evenis peaceful, the guests who seeks pleasurecontinuallyhave been short.
各方在四谛伽蓝都已同意停战,钟衡一直在为这事忙碌,顾慎为到的时候,南城已经太平无事,甚至过于安静,连寻欢作乐的客人都少了许多。Gu Shenweino longerwas the pastKiller(s)apprentice, in the normal conditionis unable to investigatepersonally, similarlywasactsbyZhong Heng, Xu Xiaoyicoordination.顾慎为不再是当年的杀手学徒,正常情况下无法亲自查案,同样是由钟衡出面,许小益配合。Onlywith the half-dayfree time, Xu Xiaoyirestoredowninformationto wind, „the presentbusinesswas not goodto do, receivesto sell the informationto be instead easier, didn't Dragon Kingcareto spend?”
只用半天工夫,许小益就修复了自己的情报络,“现在生意不好做,收卖情报反而更容易了,龙王不在乎花钱吧?”Gu Shenweidoes not care, has the Mengfamily propertyto make the guarantee, hispromiseismoney, Xiao FengchaiandLüQiyingalsorespectivelyhas the opportunities, has not madeDragon Kinglose money.顾慎为不在乎,有孟氏家产做担保,他的许诺就是金钱,萧凤钗和吕奇英也都各有生财之道,没让龙王太亏本。„Found the person?”Heasked.
“找到人了?”他问。„Found.”Xu Xiaoyilooked atZhong Hengone, took advantage of opportunity saying that „whichthisSirhorsewaswears poor clothingto make a private inquiry, clearlywas‚wears poor clothingprivatewooden scoop’, hefivedays ago eveningsecretlybrought innorth cityfromfourdigardens, spentmoneyfortwodays of runningstaying or goingpersonlanes, was held a blade, for these days the evening must go, hewas charmedbythatwhore.”
“找到了。”许小益看了钟衡一眼,顺势说下去,“这位马大人哪是微服私访,分明是‘微服私瓢’,他五天前的晚上就从四偙伽蓝偷偷搬进北城,一连两天跑去留人巷撒银子,要不是被捅了一刀,这几天晚上还得去,他被那个婊子迷住了。”Xu Xiaoyihad foundthatfemale, inquired that herpersonisZhong Heng, „Ilateonestep, the Golden Roc Castlepersonhad looked forher, thereforeshespokeis very discrete, butshepledged that the guestwas very ordinary, the money of givingwere also a lot, withoutanydubiousplace, had not disclosed the newstoanybodybefore.”许小益找到了那名记女,询问她的人则是钟衡,“我晚了一步,金鹏堡的人已经找过她,所以她说话很谨慎,但她发誓客人很普通,给的钱也不少,没有任何值得怀疑的地方,之前也没向任何人透露过消息。”„Whatshesaidis the truth?”
“她说的是实话吗?”„Ithinkam, shedoes not knowbefore has probably received the guestis the Central Plainsenvoy.”
“我觉得是,她之前好像根本不知道接待过的客人就是中原使节,。”„Thatthisfelt strange.”
“那这就奇怪了。”„Un, Ma Lianis only keeping a person of laneto treattwoevenings, the person who knowsshouldnot be many, ifdid not divulge a secret the female, wasMa Lian'sperson......”
“嗯,马廉只在留人巷待过两晚,知道的人应该不多,如果不是记女泄密,就是马廉身边的人……”„Golden Roc Castle.”Xu Xiaoyidoes not wantto be neglected, rushes saying: „The southernnorth citycheckpointguard is Golden RocKiller(s), they the fixed timeopen the doorfor the Central Plainsenvoyevery night, explained that inGolden Roc CastledefinitelysomepeopleknowMa Lian'sstatus.”
“还有金鹏堡。”许小益不想被忽视,抢着说道:“南北城关卡卫兵全是金鹏杀手,他们每晚固定时间替中原使节开门,说明金鹏堡里肯定有人知道马廉的身份。”Ma Lianin secretwas bought overbyGolden Roc Castle, Zhong Hengthought that does not feel all right, is gooddoes not raisethis matterbecause ofDragon King, Gu Shenweisaid: „Suspicionis more obvious, nottoopossibleisGolden Roc Castlecommitting a crime, thisis nottheirstyles.”
马廉还是暗中被金鹏堡收买了,钟衡觉得不太好意思,好在龙王不提此事,顾慎为说:“嫌疑越明显,越不太可能是金鹏堡作案,这不是他们的风格。”„Dragon Kingsaidright.”Xu Xiaoyiis still puzzling, Zhong Hengunderstands that the meaning of Dragon King, „wantsto seek for the evidenceto be very easyfromGolden Roc Castlethisside, butIsuspectinSupreme Kingto have the keyevidence, canindicateat the final momentpurely.”
“龙王说得没错。”许小益还在迷惑不解,钟衡已经明白龙王的意思,“想从金鹏堡这一面寻找证据很容易,可我怀疑独步王手里掌握着关键证据,能在最后时刻表明清白。”Gu Shenweisuspected that thisisWei Songhopes„shifting blame” the Golden Roc Castlegoal, makingDragon Kingthinksuccessfully, thenoverthrowshisindictmentwith a keyevidence.顾慎为怀疑这就是卫嵩希望“嫁祸”金鹏堡的目的,让龙王自以为成功,然后用一项关键证据推翻他的指控。„That onlyremainingMa Lian'speoplewere worthsuspecting.” The Gu Shenweideduction said that „thisperson, even if notinstigation, isdivulging a secret.”
“那就只剩下马廉身边的人值得怀疑了。”顾慎为推论道,“这个人即使不是主使者,也是泄密者。”„More possibleisdivulging a secret.”Zhong Hengmakesmanyinvestigationswith the shortesttime, „Isend forinquiring, understood that personprobably56 of envoywhereabouts, isordinaryaccompanying, even ifhas a grudgewithMa Lian, cannot hirespecializedKiller(s), thereforemore possibleto be bought the revelationnews. Ifcanobtain the approval of Central Plains, makingmeinquireofficially, couldlook forhim.”
“更可能是泄密者。”钟衡用最短的时间做出不少调查,“我派人打听过,了解使节行踪的人大概有56个,都是普通的随从,就算跟马廉有仇,也雇不到专业的杀手,所以更可能是被人收买泄露消息。如果能取得中原的同意,让我正式询问一遍,或许可以将他找出来。”„SeesWei Song, hewill agree.”
“去见卫嵩,他会同意的。”„Yes.”Zhong Hengacknowledged,thinksoneselfmustsee the formerimmediate superiorby the Dragon KingPrime Ministerstatus, but alsosomewhathas mixed emotions.
“是。”钟衡应诺,一想到自己要以龙王丞相的身份去见从前的顶头上司,还真有点百感交集。Alsodiscussed a meeting, Zhong Hengasks to be excused, Gu ShenweirequestsXu Xiaoyito inquire that Golden Roc Castletrend, has rested afterward alonehalfdouble-hour, when the weathergrow darkscompletely, assignspeopleto callShangguan Hong.
又谈了一会,钟衡告退,顾慎为要求许小益多打听金鹏堡的动向,随后独自休息了半个时辰,等到天色完全变黑,命人将上官鸿召来。
The south citymanpoweris scarce, allskillgoodpeoplewere senthere, Shangguan Hongis no exception, buthelittlewas sentto carry out the task.
南城人手紧缺,所有身手不错的人都被派到这里,上官鸿也不例外,但他很少被派出去执行任务。„Were youinjured?”Gu Shenweidrillsasks.
“你受伤了?”顾慎为一打眼就问道。Shangguan Honghas tracedon the waistsubconsciously, „exercises martial artstooanxiously, sprains.”上官鸿下意识地在腰上摸了一下,“练功太急,扭伤的。”Thisis notperfectlie, Gu Shenweiactuallyhas not closely examined, „tonightyoucarry out the taskwithme.”
这可不是完美的谎言,顾慎为却没有追问,“今晚你跟我执行任务。”„Yes.” The Shangguan Hongtoneis respectful and prudent, the trustDragon Kingissurprisedat heart.
“是。”上官鸿语气恭谨,心里对龙王的信任深感意外。„Welook forHe Nu.”Gu Shenwei said that whosetimeshouldusehewill not hesitate.
“咱们去找荷女。”顾慎为说,该用到谁的时候他绝不会犹豫。
