In the middle of the city, a huge white stone building stands tall above the clouds, making it difficult for birds to fly. On the ceiling of this huge high-rise building, I saw a white shadow leaning on the white jade guardrail, looking towards the city.

Behind him, a big banner with the word "jade" hunted in the wind, and there was a huge octagonal plaque hanging in the building, shining with golden light all over, and the word "handsome" was engraved with an iron painting silver hook on it, Huo Ran was the Heavenly Army Mansion.

The location of this high-rise building is right in the center of this big city, and every move in the city is peeped from the east, west, and south, although the north is the ethereal Lingyun Palace, it cannot be peeped into.

However, this place is adjacent to Tongtian Avenue, only three squares away from Lingyun Palace, if there is any accident in the Lingyun Palace where the emperor's family sleeps, the fire dragon arrow of Lingyun Palace will sound and it will be escorted in less than a quarter of an hour.

On the top floor of the Heavenly Army Mansion, a young man in white clothes shrugged his shoulders, the corner of his sleeve fluttering in the wind, and the silver armor exposed in the white silk brocade robe shone with dazzling golden light under the sun.

The young man behind him stood for a long time with the saucer and didn't dare to make a sound, and the tea in the white jade building cup on the saucer was already cold.

This is the third time that the boy has changed the tea, but the person in front of him has not taken a sip.

"Report ......" Hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him, the floor creaked and a long loud voice came from behind him, "Report to the general, the deceased is, is ......?"

The herald did not dare to speak, looking left and right, looking panicked.

"Who is it?" the young man in white turned around and looked at the herald with an indifferent expression.

- This person is none other than Duke Wulie: Hanyu.

"Yes, it's the commander of the Huwei Army, Huwei Hou: General Tong!" the herald didn't dare to slack off when he saw the man ask. With that, he clenched his hands into fists and knelt on one knee.

"What!" Han Yu's eyes were stunned, and a layer of consternation welled up on his face.

He knows Tong Yuan's marksmanship very well, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can hurt him, not to mention killing him, it is still the kind of knife that stabs him straight to the heart, and even the head is cut off.

The white-clothed Hanyu was incredulous, and asked eagerly, "Is it certain?"

"Although the deceased did not have a head and did not carry a photo sticker, according to the black horse at the scene, it has been determined that it is Hu Weihou's mount this morning. ”

"And ......," the herald spoke, trying his best to avoid Han Yu's gaze, "In the saddle bag of that black horse, a wooden box was found, and there was a head in the wooden box!

As he spoke, the herald took out a box from his waist pocket behind him and handed it over: "We also found this from the deceased!"

Xiaobei, a young man in a blue robe, hurriedly put the saucer in his hand on the long case on the side, stepped forward in two steps, took the wooden box in the herald's hand, turned around and handed it to Hanyu.

Taking the evidence box handed over, Han Yu opened the evidence box, and there was an extremely rare black jade pendant inside, which was not big, but carved with a lifelike tiger.

Recognizing the contents of the evidence box, Han Yu blurted out and exclaimed: "This pendant was rewarded by the emperor's family last year!"

A few years ago, Cangxue Kingdom paid tribute to an extremely precious piece of black jade mountain material, and the emperor ordered the imperial craftsman to take the good fine materials, carved dozens of small pieces and rewarded them to the meritorious ministers, this tiger pendant was specially awarded to Tong Yuan by the Emperor of Heaven.

He also had a piece of Moyu Xiangyun Pei in his hand, which was also rewarded by the Emperor of Heaven at that time.

Today, the sky has just dawned, and the east is white.

Several women from Dongpingfang went to the river to wash their clothes, and when they saw a headless male corpse, they immediately reported the Emperor Lintian Army patrolling the city.

At that time, the scene was a mess, the stone bridge collapsed, the ground was full of broken pieces of wood and iron, there were serious marks of a fight at the scene, and a silver spear and a black horse were left on the ground.

Moreover, the deceased was physically strong and well-dressed, although he did not have a photo sticker with him, but Han Yu, who was present at the time, had already guessed that the deceased might be a powerful person in the city, and it was likely to be a general.

- It's just that Hanyu didn't expect that the deceased would be Tong Yuan.

Although few people know the origin of this black jade tiger pendant today, when Han Yu saw this tiger pendant, he had already concluded that the deceased was Tong Yuan.

The murder case reached the ears of the Emperor of Heaven today, and the Emperor was furious and ordered the Tianji Mansion to find out the facts of the case within three days.

Although the Heavenly Army Mansion was responsible for guarding the Emperor's Landing City, and was not responsible for the investigation and trial of criminal prison cases, such powerful people in the Emperor's Landing City were killed, but the Emperor Landing Heavenly Army in the city did not notice it, which was a dereliction of duty, so they were punished together and ordered to assist the Tianji Mansion in investigating the case.

Tianji Mansion: Responsible for the investigation of criminal and prison cases, household registration and taxation. Ranked among the "three divisions".

The three divisions are:

Stargazing Observatory: Responsible for the etiquette, sacrifice, divination, and calendar deduction of the emperor's kingdom. Tianji Mansion: Responsible for the investigation of criminal and prison cases, household registration and taxation. Heavenly Army Mansion: In charge of the world's soldiers and horses (in fact, he orders military affairs on behalf of the emperor's family, and cannot control the world's soldiers and horses), and leads the emperor's army to defend the emperor's city.

The three divisions are set up: Mozimen and Tianzongyuan.

Mozimen: In charge of national construction and development of equipment, served by successive Mojia giants.

Tianzong Yuan: Acting for the Emperor to handle government affairs, elect officials and handle diplomatic affairs, and is appointed by the Emperor of Heaven to serve as the Prime Minister, ranking first among the hundred officials.

- The Heavenly Master's Mansion, which is not among the administrative pivots of the empire, is hidden from the mountains and respects only the emperor's order.

"How much is this pendant worth now?" Han Yu rubbed the black jade tiger pendant in the wooden box, and asked the herald.

"I have just sent it to the Treasure Pavilion, let the pavilion master Ling Xin girl check it, this pendant is worth a thousand gold coins!" the herald replied with a bowed head.

Hanyu put the evidence Tiger Pei back in the evidence box, and then asked Xiaobei on the side to return it to the herald: "So, the murderer is not trying to make money!"

Xiao Bei on the side sneered and said, "Young Master, Xiao Bei also feels that there is something strange about this matter. ”

Han Yu nodded, waved the sleeves of the white silk satin shirt, and ordered the herald: "You retreat first and send the evidence box to Tianji Mansion!"

"No!" the herald carefully put away the evidence box. Get up, salute with your hands in fists, turn and retreat.

Hanyu turned around and continued to lean on the white jade guardrail, thinking.

Casting his gaze on the clouds in the distance, just as a gust of wind blew, and in the eastern sky, there was a large cloud that just obscured the sun, and the entire Imperial Landing City was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

This side.

In the spacious secret room, it was pitch black, only a few dim oil lamps lit faintly, and the place that illuminated was only a square inch.

Standing in the secret room were two mysterious people dressed in black robes and wearing black iron masks, on which the word "night" could be faintly seen.

The two looked at each other one after the other.

The leader of the black-robed people, who had been carrying his hands behind his back, suddenly spoke: "Old ghost, how is the plan completed?"

The man who is called the old ghost is none other than the second night: the ghost, the one who acts as the ruler of the ten nights.

The black-robed old ghost bowed down and replied, "Great Chief, the task has been completed, and the puppet has successfully killed Tong Yuan." ”

"Very good!" the black-robed leader sneered and rubbed his palms, "As soon as Tong Yuan dies, no one will pose a threat to our plans!"

"Commander, what should I do with this?" The black-robed man standing behind the man, his voice a little vicissitudes, reached out and opened a wooden box and sent it to the man in front of him.

"Let's send it to the Lord's house as a greeting gift!"

"No!" the black-robed ghost put away the wooden box and took two steps back, just about to leave.

"That's right," Seeing that the other party was about to leave, the black-robed leader suddenly spoke, "Is there any movement on the Wuyue Kingdom's side?"

"Leader Qiyu, they have been decided, and the Witch King has ordered the Huanlou clan to launch an attack on the Dianyun County of the Emperor's Landing Kingdom. As he spoke, the black-robed old ghost suddenly paused, and continued, "It's just that they seem to have seen the clues, and they don't plan to march into the Emperor's Kingdom in a big way. ”

"Is it!" The black-robed leader smiled coldly, exuding a chilling murderous aura around him, "It's time for a showdown with Wuyue Kingdom, old ghost, you can go for a trip." ”

"No!"

With a dodge on the ground, the ghost disappeared into the darkness without a sound.

"The surname Long, the real revenge has just begun!" the black-robed leader, who stood in place, laughed out loud.

Then he waved his sleeves, and a proud murderous aura appeared, instantly extinguishing several oil lamps in the secret room, and drowning himself in this darkness that did not see the light of day.
