That night, Hou Qi carried Tian Ergeng's head and came to a lonely alley as agreed, and met with Liu Qingqing, Wu Congsheng, and the shopkeeper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hou Qi handed over Tian Ergeng's head to Liu Qingqing for inspection, Liu Qingqing took a look at it with a fire fold, it was Tian Ergeng's hideous and terrifying face, and then closed his eyes and two lines of tears rolled down, and muttered: "Father, the situation is urgent, I can't use Tian Ergeng's head to honor you, until my daughter takes Wei Zhongxian's head and commemorates you together!"

Hou Qi said coldly: "Sister, don't worry, blood debts and blood repayment are indispensable." ”

Liu Qingqing clasped his fists at the three of them and said: "Today's matter is very beautiful, but Hou Qi has already leaked his identity, so he can't stay in the capital, you hurry up, take advantage of the fact that there is no incident and strictly investigate, and flee as soon as possible! The Praetorian Guards will definitely search for you all before dawn!"

Hou Qi laughed excitedly: "My head, how can I have the command of the Jinyi Guard to make it valuable! It's really fast! Who is the next target?"

Liu Qingqing urged: "Later, Jinyiwei will find Tian Ergeng's corpse, it will cause a sensation in the capital, you should leave quickly! There is no next goal, it's not that Tian Ergeng wants to compete with adults for the position of the chief soldier of the forbidden army, it's a bit early to kill him now, and only by completely eradicating the eunuch party can Zhaoxue rehabilitate his father, don't talk nonsense, run away!"

Hou Qi nodded, then pinned Tian Ergeng's head to his waist, and ran towards the southwest section of the city wall, and when he arrived at the southwest section, the two guards were still on duty, they hugged Hou Qi with a fist, Hou Qi jumped over the city wall, and then fell down the city with a rope, plunged into the deep and cold moat, and disappeared into the boundless night.

Liu Qingqing said to Wu Congsheng and the shopkeeper: "You two hurry back to Yangxin Building, disband the brothers as quickly as possible, don't leave any traces, remember?"

After commanding everyone, Liu Qingqing flashed and disappeared into the night, she walked and ran, and soon ran to the street ten zhang away from the Chongguo Mansion, and collided with a patrolling soldier, the soldier saw a man in black opposite, and immediately shouted: "What person? Don't you know the curfew in the capital!"

Liu Qingqing frowned and said pitifully: "Big brother, I am a girl from a good family, just because I quarreled with my parents, I ran away in a bad mood, and I was homeless, I hope that my eldest brother will forgive me and let the little girl go!"

As soon as the soldier heard that it was a runaway girl, he took a torch and took a closer look, only to see that Liu Qingqing looked young and beautiful, with a coquettish and provocative expression, and immediately came up with evil thoughts, and reached out and grabbed Liu Qingqing's shirt and was about to pull her clothes: "How about my brother take you in?"

Liu Qingqing smiled slightly, took out the sharp dagger hidden in his sleeve, and as soon as he raised his hand, the experienced knife poked into the soldier's neck, and the soldier fell to the ground with a thud, and died after kicking his legs!

Liu Qingqing looked left and right, there was no human population around, she calmly ran to the outer wall of Chongguo Mansion, turned over the wall and went back to her boudoir, she quickly took off the bloody black clothes, changed her clothes, lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and the night returned to quiet, as if tonight's murder and arson really had nothing to do with herself.

Before dawn, the Jinyi guards who stayed behind in the Jinyi Guard headquarters found four corpses, three of which belonged to their colleagues, all of whom were killed by daggers in the throat, and one was the headless body of the commander Tian Ergeng, and there were two ears on the ground, red blood sprayed all over the ground, and the bloody hand held a piece of blood and wrote a few scribbled characters: "The one who killed me, Hou Qi, the son of Shangshu." Tian Er ploughed and stayed. ”

Seeing that the commander was killed in the study of the Jinyi Guard Headquarters, and his head was stolen, he was immediately shocked and lost his inch. They hurried to the door and waited for the captain of the guard and the deputy commander Fang Zhen.

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei is also called Jinyiwei Tongzhi, which is a hereditary title, and Fang Zhenzu has been known from generation to generation since the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di period.

At this time, the Jinyi Guard Brigade who was fighting the fire from Tian Ergeng Mansion had already extinguished the fire and returned, seeing that the Jinyi Guard who stayed behind had a wrong face, the deputy commander Fang Zhen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

The Jinyi guard who stayed behind couldn't speak clearly, so he pulled Fang Zhen and said, "Deputy commander, you better go with me to have a look." ”

Fang Zhen entered the study and saw that tragic scene, and he was immediately dizzy. At the command headquarters, the commander of Zheng Sanpin was killed and his head was stolen, how can this matter be handed over to the top!

Fang Zhen hurriedly gathered all the Jinyi guards, after all, he was an old bureaucrat in his fifties with rich political experience, Fang Zhen quickly calmed down, and said in a majestic tone: "Take all the Jinyi guards who stayed behind tonight and put them in prison!"

The dozens of brocade guards who stayed behind knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky: "My lord, I am wronged!" "My lord, we really don't know what's going on!"

Fang Zhen coldly picked up the blood book and looked at it, and said: "The words on this blood book will be handed over to the Criminal Department for inspection tomorrow, if the handwriting is indeed the handwriting of the commander, then Hou Qi is the real murderer, you can be regarded as dereliction of duty at most, it is not good to protect the commander, and you can't lose your head! If the font is not the commander's, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you are suspected of murdering the commander! Leave it to fate!"

Several people's faces were like ashes, and the other brocade guards rushed up, and the dozens of brocade guards who stayed in the yamen were escorted into the Jinyi guard's prison.

Chen Sheng, an officer on duty in the Criminal Department, Chen Sheng, heard Fang Zhen's story, and was immediately shocked, he quickly called the guards on duty, and led people to surround the scene of Jinyiwei's study on the one hand, and on the other hand, Fang Zhen's report was written down in detail.

Fang Zhen, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, did not dare to delay time, and immediately rode side by side with Chen Sheng, the official of the Criminal Department, and rushed to the general headquarters of the Praetorian Guard, demanding that the Janissaries be mobilized.

As the sky gradually brightened, and after hearing the story of the incident, Zhang Fengqin, the current chief officer of the Praetorian Guard, immediately dispatched the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion to blockade the Forbidden City, send additional troops and horses to increase the defense of the capital, and began to launch a large-scale search and arrest operation for the whole city.

Zhang Fengqin complained to his staff with a sad face: "Originally, Wang Zhizheng was going back to Beijing tomorrow, I am not Wei Zhongxian's descendant, the position of the chief soldier of the Praetorian Guard will be handed over to Wang Zhizheng in a few days, but there is such a mess at this time, why is it so unlucky!"

The staff persuaded him: "Master Zhang, you don't have to be too embarrassed, Hou Qi killed Tian Ergeng, that's because Tian Ergeng has a deep blood feud with him, no one can stop this kind of thing, even if we can't catch Hou Qi, at most it can be regarded as dereliction of duty, originally you can't do the position of the chief soldier of the Praetorian Guard for a few days, and now take advantage of this opportunity, you write to the nine thousand years old to ask for resignation, and ask for the virtuous to give Wang Zhizheng, so that retreat is advancing, but it just caters to the psychology of the nine thousand years old, I think you should be able to keep your career." ”

Zhang Fengqin nodded and sighed: "It's all about this." It's really a mess, this command makes me don't want to do it for a long time, it's better to get an errand to stay home with my wife and children. ”

Just when martial law in the capital launched a large-scale raid, Hou Qi came to Wang Zhizhengxing's camp with Tian Ergeng's head pinned to his waist and learned a few cat meows, and when he got the code, Wang Zhizheng immediately opened the door curtain and walked out, he looked at no one on the left and right, and said to Hou Qi in a low voice: "You hurry up and flee back to Jiangnan, find a place, disguise yourself and live in seclusion, don't show up, remember?"

Hou Qi smiled: "Okay." Anyway, I'm an outlaw, and if you need me to kill someone, you can just send it directly!" Wang Zhizheng patted him on the shoulder: "Find a place to throw Tian Ergeng's head! ”
