Imperial capital, leading the council.

Wang Zongheng, who had changed into civilian clothes, raised the collar waist card and walked straight to the outside of the study of the collar mansion.

Tuk-tuk

Wang Zongheng knocked lightly on the door and whispered to the study: "Xiangye, the villain's guard Wang Zongheng has something to report." ”

Ye Rulai and Ye Chengen in the study were both shocked, but the doorman did not come back, but the Praetorian Guards came, could it be that the matter was exposed?

Ye Chengen pretended to be calm, and said loudly: "Zongheng, what is the matter with coming here late at night, come in and talk about it." ”

Wang Zongheng pushed the door in, carefully closed the doors and windows, and then walked to Ye Chengen and knelt down to salute.

Seeing this scene, Ye Rulai secretly said in his heart: It's not good, it must have been exposed. His throat was simmering, his feet were weak, and he didn't fall down by supporting the chair with one hand, and at this moment Wang Zongheng didn't speak and he didn't dare to ask, only looked at Wang Zongheng in a daze.

Wang Zongheng saw that the atmosphere was solemn, and he didn't dare to open his mouth rashly after saluting, but Ye Chengen was old and serious, and when he saw that Wang Zongheng didn't speak, he reminded: "Zongheng, three generations of your family have worked for me, and it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Wang Zongheng was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists, as if he had plucked up courage, and said: "I was on night duty on the Dumen Tower tonight, and suddenly I heard someone screaming outside the Dumen, so I led the team out of the Dumen to check..."

"What did you find?" Ye Rulai was so anxious that he was about to pee his pants, but Wang Zongheng paused when he got to the point.

Wang Zongheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued: "The villain found four corpses three miles outside the capital gate, and there were armbands on the cuffs of the black clothes..."

Suddenly, Ye Rulai's body softened, and he didn't hold it anymore and sat on the chair behind him, speechless, his eyes glazed.

Ye Chengen's face was expressionless: "What about the corpse?"

Wang Zongheng was shocked, not knowing whether what he had done was right or wrong, and said slowly: "I have already disposed of and buried the body, and ordered my subordinates to keep silent about this matter. ”

"Okay!" Ye Chengen smiled instantly, and even waved his arm slightly to show his happiness. Then he realized that he was a little out of shape, and he fixed his mind to help Wang Zongheng up, and said with a pleasant face: "Zongheng, do a good job, do a good job." ”

Wang Zongheng can be regarded as having figured it out, and he dared to lead the council to send a guest to rob and kill someone outside the capital gate, but he was killed by someone.

But now that Wang Zongheng's body has been destroyed, there is no evidence for others to investigate it, and he still did a good thing in a hurry.

Wang Zongheng's face was also happy, and he arched his hand and said: "My Wang family is only here and now, and it is a blessing for me to be able to do things for Xiangye." ”

Ye Rulai tried to recover his mind, looked at Wang Zongheng, and then looked at his father's face, knowing that the matter was temporarily stabilized, and sat up a little straighter with his hand on the chair.

Ye Chengen nodded slightly, and said, "You go to the account room of the house to receive five hundred taels of gold, take some for yourself, and distribute the rest to your brothers." Then his face turned straight and he said in a deep voice: "You must keep them silent, otherwise..."

Wang Zongheng: "Don't worry, Xiangye, I will definitely handle this matter." As for gold, there is no need, I should be able to do things for Xiangye. ”

Ye Chengen smiled slightly and said, "This is what you deserve, don't shirk." ”

"Thank you!"

After bowing, the king withdrew.

Things have finally stabilized temporarily, but Ye Chengen's heart has not settled down, now four of the doormen have died, but there are still seven people alive but have not come back, and the matter may not be over.

The most important thing is whether Yun Huamo is dead or not, if someone rescues him, and the person who saves him is Ning Huchen or other people from the imperial capital, then he must know him to receive the armband of the council.

Although there is no handle left for the time being, he can deny it flatly, but will Jin Tengyun give up?

Ye Chengen turned his head to look at Ye Rulai, who was overjoyed, and shook his head helplessly. I thought that I was afraid that after my death, the Ye family would decline.

After half a pillar of incense, Ye Rulai recovered, and then got up to say goodbye. has been drunk for a long time, and Ye Rulai's body is already very empty, and he has risen and fallen several times today, and he really can't stand it.

After Ye Rulai left, the study was completely quiet, but a deep inquiry suddenly came: "Do you need me to make a move?" Then a black shadow floated out, speaking in a human voice but always giving people a feeling of unreality.

Ye Chengen was not surprised, nor did he turn his head to check, but said lightly: "Brother Chen, thanks to you guarding in the shadows for many years, otherwise I am afraid that my own appearance would have been assassinated a long time ago, but I just suffered you..." ”

Brother Chen in his mouth replied softly: "There is no need to say these polite words between us, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I, Chen Xiong, would have disappeared long ago." "The voice flickered flickering farther and nearer, flickering brightly and flickering.

Ye Rulai chuckled, and said with a melancholy face: "It's not a fatal thing, I don't dare to let you appear in front of outsiders, if you are exposed to people, my life will not be long." ”

The shadow didn't reply, and disappeared silently into the study.

...

General's Palace.

Jin Tengyun's face changed drastically and exclaimed, "What! Yun Huamo may have been injured by a monk?"

After Ning Huchen left the Ning Mansion, he went straight to the General's Mansion and told Jin Tengyun everything he knew.

Jin Tengyun's face was full of suspicions, and when he heard that Yun Huamo was seriously injured and had lost his former composure, he kept asking Ning Huchen: "How is it possible? In addition to the two hidden monks around the Golden Emperor, are there other monks in this imperial capital? Could it be that the Golden Emperor ordered it? It is impossible? There may not be anyone else who can instruct those two?"

Ning Huchen's face was unwavering: "Father-in-law, don't be impatient." He ate my treasured 500-year-old ginseng, and I also gave him true qi, and his injuries will be healed. ”

"According to the current situation, it should not be the people of the royal family who did it. This world is so big, it is not surprising that there are a few more wild cultivators. ”

Jin Tengyun was also anxious for a while, so he lost his temper, and after listening to Ning Huchen's words, he relaxed a little, but still sighed and said: "I shouldn't have agreed to this child to enter the barracks, it's only been a few days..."

Ning Huchen: "Father-in-law, there are hundreds of people in this world, each with its own choice, I think Yun Huamo is a talent to lead soldiers, maybe he can take over from his father-in-law to protect this great golden country in the future." ”

Jin Tengyun was dumbfounded, and Ning Huchen said, "We originally said that you will replace me." ”

Ning Huchen waved his hand: "Father-in-law, I was not here in the first place, if it wasn't for your request, I wouldn't want to stay in the imperial capital." Now that the ink boy has appeared, it just freed me, wouldn't it be better for me to accompany you to indulge in the mountains and rivers in the future!"

Jin Tengyun smiled slightly: "Okay, let's talk about these later, the top priority is to find out at this time." ”

Ning Huchen: "Your house is not good, leave this matter to me to investigate, but how will Yun Huamo be placed next?" ”

"Okay, it's up to you to look into this matter. Jin Tengyun flicked his chin lightly, and said with a little thought: "After the ink injury is healed, I will stay in your Ning Mansion, as for whether to return to the garrison, let's talk about it later." ”

Ning Huchen nodded, opened the door and left.
