Seeing the back of Zhao Liang and the others leaving, the disgraced Han Xianzhi couldn't help muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's all over this time." The Xue family fell into the hands of Lin'an Hou, and Xue Jin would definitely turn back. ”

Shangguan Xueming showed a cold smile and said in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about? Xue Jin will definitely be able to keep his mouth shut. ”

Han Xianzhi was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, how can you be so sure?" ”

"Hmph, isn't that easy?" Shangguan Xueming replied coldly: "In this world, there is only one kind of person who can really keep secrets, and that is - the dead. ”

Zhao Liang rode his horse and walked at the back of the labor army, looking at the crowd in front of him, still reminiscing about Shangguan Xueming's ugly stinky face in his heart.

Until this time, the people still didn't know what had happened in the camp just now, only that the minister of the Qin Mission, the Marquis of Lin'an, had actually come with everyone this time. At this moment, people's attention has shifted from the previous Song Liao War to the gossip secrets of Lin'an Hou's life experience, happily discussing the gossip heard everywhere, including all kinds of lace news of Zhao Defang's old prince, completely unaware that he was just a chess piece used by the little marquis behind.

Li Erbai Ce immediately came and asked Zhao Liang for instructions: "Uncle Shi, is it necessary for us to follow the people together?" It's better to rush over and go back to the city early. ”

Zhao Liang was worried that Han Xianzhi's anger would arise from his heart, so don't send troops to catch up with him halfway, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay to walk slowly." Anyway, Xue Jin's mother, wife and children couldn't walk fast, and the ox cart they were sitting in was slower than the two legs of the people in front. ”

Li Erbai thought about it, so he was no longer in a hurry, and asked Zhao Liang instead: "Eh, Uncle Immortal, ...... you?"

"Okay, needless to say," Zhao Liang waved his hand and said, "The successive heads of the Dark Sect should master the Lights Out Patriarch's Voyeur Dafa and pass it on from generation to generation. I don't know what your master thinks, and he actually delayed this matter. I'm good to be here, otherwise I'd have messed up. ”

Li Erbai scratched his head ashamedly when he heard this: "The immortal chief doesn't know, in fact, he is not to blame for this matter. At the beginning, Shizun was originally going to teach his disciples the stunt of his own sect - the Dafa of Peeping Soul Dementoring, but it happened that there was a big case in the rivers and lakes at that time, and the disciples hurried to calm it down, and when they came back a year later, Shizun was already immortal. Even the head token was handed over to me by Yuanbao's junior brother at his behalf. ”

Zhao Liang bowed slightly when he heard this: "There is a fixed number in the dark." Your master knows that he has no chance to teach you the Tao in person, but he is not deliberately entangled, and he is quite mysterious. Didn't I immediately come to you to make up for the lesson? ”

Li Erbai was overjoyed and said: "In this way, there will be a long Lao Xian." ”

"You're so polite with me!" Zhao Liang waved his hand: "The words Uncle Shi can't be called in vain, you have to pass on some skills." Oh yes, are the little compass and the little bronze bell of the Dusk still there? ”

"Yes, yes," Li Erbai hurriedly took out two treasures from his arms and presented them to Zhao Liang: "These are the treasures of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and the disciples dare not leave for a while." Only the head token, I was worried about the uncertainty of life and death on the front line, so I left it for the collection of Yuanbao's junior brother. When I came back this time, I took it back with me. ”

Zhao Liang stretched out his hand to take the small bronze bell and the small compass, and suddenly felt an incomparably close feeling, and his mind was full of what he looked like when the lights out dao chief used them at the beginning.

Now the treasures are still there, but the Si people have been separated for thousands of years, and that deep longing instantly filled Zhao Liang's heart.

He played lightly in his palm for a while, then handed it back to Li Erbai, and said earnestly: "Back then, your lights-out ancestor used these treasures to subdue demons and eliminate monsters and support justice, I don't know how many hardships you have gone through, so I hope you can cherish it too." ”

"Have you really seen Master Zu?" Li Erbai's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

Zhao Liang looked up at the sky, his mind seemed to return to the distant past, and muttered to himself: "The days with the lights out Taoist are probably the most unforgettable time in my life." ”

Li Erbai listened to it and said, "It seems that what is recorded in the secret books of this sect is true, this, this is too exciting!" ”

Zhao Liang was surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Speaking of the Secret Archive, I really want to know about it, tell me quickly, how is it written about me? ”

Li Erbai's tone was particularly solemn: "The secret book describes that at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the ancestor rose in the rivers and lakes, and the people were upside down. He was fortunate to meet the ignition of Aquarius Star Zhao Liang Immortal Chang and Zheng Xiangu, and created a dark faction that had lasted for thousands of years, subduing demons and eliminating demons, defending the Dao with righteousness, and achieving the immortal cause of Taoism. As for the Aquarius Star Immortal, you are not only compassionate and profound, but also quite kind to the dim disciples, and have also taken the ancestor to go out to the fairy world and appreciate the mysteries of heaven and earth...... Oh, and there's your portrait in the Mystical Archive. ”

"Huh? So godly? Zhao Liangqi said: "Did you draw it by the head of the lights-out road?" ”

Li Erbai shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, it's not painted by the ancestor." The portrait was from the hand of Master Changhei. ”

Zhao Liang was stunned when he heard this: "Master Changhei? Damn, you can't be talking about Xiao Hei, right? He thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood: Xu Fu's big apprentice is called Changqing, so it is estimated that Xiao Hei also obtained the Dao number according to the elder character, called Changhei.

Li Erbai asked, "Have you also seen Master Changhei?" ”

"Why haven't I seen him?" Zhao Liang said with a smile: "At the beginning, I asked the head of the lights out road to accept Xiao Hei as an apprentice, otherwise, that kid would only be able to herd cattle in the countryside of Xianyang." Hey, no, it's the cowherd who herds the cow, Xiao Hei should be his father's class, and he should be the village chief. ”

Li Erbai couldn't understand what Zhao Liang was saying, and was about to ask, when he saw a fast horse running from the city gate in the distance, and shouted at them from afar: "Master Hou, it's not good!" Xue Jin is dead! ”

Zhao Liang and Li Erbai couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly rode up to meet them and asked for details.

It was an official from the Criminal Department who came to report the news, and he didn't wait for the reins to be steady, so he repeated the news again in a panic, confirming that Xue Jin had died in prison. Not long after Yao Neng and Apple went to patrol the river, they were also rushing back after receiving this letter.

Zhao Liang's heart sank when he heard this, and he instructed the Ying Tianzhi Mansion to take care of the Xue family, and he and Li Erbai went back to the city first.

By the time they arrived at Yingtian Yamen's cell, Yao Neng had already arrived here, and was staring at Xue Jin's corpse in a daze.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Liang asked angrily.

A cell boss-looking officer stepped forward tremblingly and replied: "Master Qiqi, the little ones don't know what happened. It's fine in the morning, but it's not good when you finish lunch. ”

Li Erbai was suspicious: "Could it be that the rice is poisonous?" ”

Yao Neng said: "I have already asked the criminal department to investigate, Xue Jin was indeed poisoned to death, but it was not poisoned in lunch." ”

"Huh? Is it a chronic poison? Zhao Liang said curiously: "Can you judge the exact time of poisoning?" ”

Yao Neng pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid I can't do it too exactly, but it's very likely that someone did it last night." ”

Zhao Liang was suddenly puzzled: "Last night? How is this possible? ”

"Master Hou, it seems that we all underestimate Shangguan Xueming." Yao Neng said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, you raided Yun Niang's mansion, and Shangguan escaped, and none of us paid special attention to it at that time. But now that I think about it, I guess he was alert at that time. ”

Zhao Liang pondered Yao Neng's words carefully, and suddenly reacted: "You mean to say that Shangguan Xueming mistakenly thought that Xue Jin had already betrayed them!" ”

"That's right. Although we all know that Xue Jin and those three people had a secret meeting in the city, it was the news that you defrauded, but ......" Yao Neng pondered: "But Shangguan Xueming doesn't know the reason. In his opinion, the fact that Lin'an Hou was able to find the door could only show that Xue Jin was greedy for life and afraid of death, and had already confessed to them. At least, he doesn't want to take the blame alone. In this way, this guy is not worth much, on the contrary, it will be a disaster to keep it. ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "So, Shangguan Xueming, the little fox, made a quick decision last night, sent a master into the prison overnight, and put chronic poison in Xue Jin's food or water, just waiting for the poison to attack today, and he died cleanly." Damn, no wonder he promised so happily just now, and easily let me take the Xue family out of the barracks. ”

Yao Neng asked about what happened on the side of the Zhongwu Army, and also sighed: "Alas, this Shangguan Xueming is really powerful!" We just got a little advantage, and in the blink of an eye, we were broken by this guy. And as a key witness in this case, Xue Jin can almost be called the most important link, and now that he is dead, many clues will not be able to be worn. ”

At this time, Zhao Liang was also frustrated, but he instead persuaded Yao Neng: "Old Yao, in fact, we don't have to be too discouraged. This game was a tie at best. Although they killed Xue Jin, they also exposed themselves to the greatest extent, and the calculation of finding someone to blame could no longer be launched. Therefore, it should be that the other party is more anxious than us. ”

"Well, what Hou Ye said makes a lot of sense." Yao Neng lifted his spirit and said: "We are the attacking side, holding the initiative in the whole situation, and no matter how great Shangguan Xueming is, he can only see the tricks and be tired of coping." He paused and continued: "At the moment, in addition to Xue Jin, there is another person who is very important, that is, Han Xianzhi's cousin, Han Xianqing, the big boss of Changlong Firm. Compared with Xue Jin, he should be one of the real masterminds, we can't move the Loyal Army Jiedu Envoy and Shangguan Xueming, can't we even move a little businessman? ”

Zhao Liang nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Alas, according to what you just said, Shangguan Xueming is probably already thinking about it, and Han Xianqing has probably slipped into the shell of the loyal army at this time and hid." ”

Yao Neng was a little unwilling, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates, together with the officials of Ying Tianfu, to immediately summon Han Xianqing to come here for questioning.

But sure enough, the servants went for less than half an hour, and then came back to report that according to Han Xianqing's men, the boss went out to buy goods, and it was estimated that it would take two or three months to come back.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang analyzed that when they went to the Zhongwu Army at noon today, Han Xianqing was actually hiding there, but he was in a different situation from Shangguan Xueming, so he didn't dare to show up in front of the Ying Tian Prefect's Mansion easily.

Yao Neng was immediately angry, and ordered his subordinates to immediately go to Kaifeng Mansion to transfer some veterans to rush over, especially experts in investigating homicide cases, and come here as soon as possible to thoroughly investigate Xue Jin's death.

Zhao Liang thought that there was no other better way at the moment, so he simply followed Yao Neng's idea first, holding the idea that it was useless to worry, while comforting Lao Yao to calm down, and at the same time letting the officials prepare for dinner.

However, before dinner could be served, someone from Bianliang, Tokyo, was dispatched.

The eight-thousand-year-old little prince sent someone to deliver an urgent letter, naming him as Lin'an Hou. Zhao Liang took the envelope and opened it, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart: Oops, it's finally time to be able to understand the text, although it's all traditional, it's always better than a ghost-drawn small seal.

He roughly read it, basically understood eight or nine times out of ten, and then handed the letter to Yao Neng and said, "It seems that I have to put aside the case here for the time being, and rush back to Kaifeng first." ”

Apple and Zheng Luya couldn't help but be curious, and asked in unison, "Why?" ”

Yao Neng quickly read the letter at this time, and replied for Zhao Liang: "The Liao army has already attacked on a large scale. Within two days, we captured three of our military fort passes, and the front line was in an emergency. His Majesty was bewitched by Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo, and was determined to move the capital to avoid trouble, but no one could listen to it. Eight thousand years old had no choice but to ask Lin'an Hou to return to Beijing as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures together. ”
