The rain was still falling, and it was still so dark, with only a few lightning bolts occasionally.

Li Xiao's series of operations to kill Long Tao shocked the man hiding in the shadows, and his eyes widened at this time, and his face was full of incredulity. frowned, and was about to get up and go down to mend the knife, when he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and before he could turn around, a ruthless voice came from behind him: "Die." ”

I only felt a heat in my neck, and the person who shot the arrow in the dark was also lifeless like Long Tao.

After a while, a person came out of the darkness, and the lightning flashed, only to see the person kicking the dead body under his feet off the eaves with an expressionless face, and then holding his hands, looking indifferently at Li Xiao, who was lying on the ground not far away without moving.

"It's none of my business."

……

The thunder is unbridled and the rainy season continues.

At this time, in the procuratorate compound on West Street, Luo Binwang, who was served by a scholar, finished the last case file on the table, and was about to pick up the hot tea on the side.

Suddenly a thunderclap sounded, King Luo Bin was startled, only to hear a crisp sound, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, for some reason, King Luo Bin felt uneasy, shook his head, sighed, and said with a smile: "After all, I'm old, even thunder can scare me." ”

Han Yiwei in front of the small table below also heard the crisp cracking, and hurriedly stepped forward and carefully picked up the pieces.

"The dean is in the prime of life, how can he say that he is old."

Looking at his subordinate and old friend, King Luo Bin just smiled, picked up another teacup and poured it, then slowly got up, stuck to the window, listened to the sound of the rain outside, and didn't know what to think.

"Dean, why don't you rest early today?" Han Yiwei rubbed his hands and said.

King Luo Bin waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "I've been like this for more than ten years, and it's not bad for a few days." ”

When the boss said this, Han Yiwei didn't want to talk about anything, threw the fragments into the dustpan, and sat back in his seat.

For so many years, King Luo Bin has long been accustomed to working at night, and the tranquility of the night can make his mind exceptionally clear, but I don't know why he is so absent-minded tonight, it seems that something is about to happen.

"One evil, I've worked hard for you today, stay with me for so long." King Luo Bin looked at Han Yiwei and said with a smile: "You might as well rest early, don't get tired, there are still many things you need to deal with." ”

After hearing this, Han Yiyi's hand holding the pen paused, and then said with a smile: "Dean, I'm not tired, but you, you need to rest." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were three knocks on the door, followed by a human voice.

"Dean, Team Leader Han, my subordinates have something important to report."

King Luo Bin didn't speak, walked back to his place slowly, and sat down. Han Yiwei saw King Luo Bin sit down, and only then did he speak, "Come in." ”

Soon, the heavy door of the temple was slowly pushed open, and after a while, a man came. I saw that the man walked quickly to the center of the main hall, bowed his back to King Luo Bin and Han Yixi, and said, "Dean, Team Leader Han." ”

King Luo Bin nodded and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The man first glanced at King Luo Bin, and then at Han Yiyi, his face was embarrassed.

King Luo Bin lowered his head and didn't look at the man, but just asked lightly, "Say!" ”

Although there was only one word, it was full of majesty, which made the person in the hall weaken his legs, and he couldn't help kneeling down, lying on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Dean, yes, it is the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion in the courtyard that is missing a few arrows and a seven-star crossbow." ”

"Huh?" King Luo Bin raised his head and stared at the kneeling man in the hall with a frown.

The Heavenly Weapon Pavilion was built together at the beginning of the establishment of the procuratorate, and the most exquisite cold weapons in Haoguo were placed inside, and those weapons, whether in terms of lethality or durability, were among the best in the world, and they were placed outside, each of them was an artifact.

There is also the seven-star crossbow, the materials used are all of the best, and it was born under the polishing of the palace craftsmen for several months, and the arrows shot from the seven-star crossbow, every shot can be called the power of an archery master on the eight-rank line, and the most important thing is that the seven-star crossbow is only seven in Haoguo, one of which is in the palace and six in the procuratorate.

Because of this, the procuratorate attaches great importance to the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion and the Seven Star Crossbow, and strictly examines each of these weapons, and counts the number every day.

But today, someone suddenly came to report that there were a few arrows missing from the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, and more importantly, there was also a seven-star crossbow missing, how could this make King Luo Bin not pay attention to it.

"Are you sure it's less?" King Luo Bin's eyes narrowed and he asked.

"It's really less." The kneeling man in the hall raised his head, looked at King Luo Bin, and replied: "At first, the subordinates didn't believe it, they counted it several times in a row, and even checked the records of the last three months, and they all found that someone took it away, and you know that the use of the Seven Star Crossbow must be approved by you or Team Leader Han, so ......"

As he spoke, the man glanced at Han Yiyi.

King Luo Bin supported his head with his hands, his fingers lightly tapped on the wooden table, and he did not speak.

What the man in the hall said was true, the use of the seven-star crossbow did have to be approved by himself or Han Yixi, but there has been no major incident in Haoguo recently, and the secret agents of the enemy country who broke into the capital were all surrounded and suppressed by Han Yiwei himself, and it stands to reason that there should be no access to the seven-star crossbow.

"One evil, what do you know?"

Han Yiwei was stunned for a moment, and then said to King Luo Bin with a smile: "Dean, I have been staying in the courtyard for the past few days, I haven't moved, and I don't know anything. Maybe it was misplaced and I didn't find it for a while, or maybe it was too dark to examine it carefully. ”

"Hmm. Also. Listening to Han Yixi's words, King Luo Bin nodded, yawned, and said, "It's not early, you go down to rest, and get up again when it's dawn to check and check." ”

"Yes." Han Yixi answered with the person in the hall.

King Luo Bin didn't look at the two, just rested with his head and closed his eyes, and waved his other hand casually, signaling the two to go down. The two didn't stay long, and soon withdrew.

I don't know how long it took for King Luo Bin to open his eyes, looking at the location of Han Yixi's original office, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. But only for a moment, he finally shook his head and closed his eyes again.

……

At the same time, in Dongcheng, in the courtyard where Dongchang is located, in the deepest room, Xu Youzhen woke up in a muffled thunder, and knocked down the candle lights on the side without paying attention.

"What's the matter, grandpa." Xu Shengliang knocked on the door and asked softly.

Although Xu Shengliang just recognized Xu Youzhen as a relative not long ago, he knew that Xu Youzhen knew that he could not be arrogant, and it was his turn to keep vigil, so he would keep vigil, and it was also an honor to be able to keep vigil for Xu Youzhen.

At least that's what the eunuchs of the East Factory think.

"It's fine." Xu Youzhen eased her breath, looked at the candles scattered on the ground, and said, "Come in." ”

"Yes, Grandpa." Xu Shengliang answered, then picked up the half-dim lantern in his hand and gently pushed the door in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw debris all over the ground, and I was busy lighting a candle, walking quickly to Xu Youzhen's side, and looking.

Xu Youzhen is also happy, and the grandson she received is really good, not to mention that he looks happy, and he is very clever, and the flattering ones in the factory are completely different, he is a good seedling.

"Grandpa had a nightmare?" Xu Shengliang cleaned up the candles on the ground and asked.

"It's nothing, just thinking of dreaming about some things from before." Xu Youzhen sighed, looked at the candle lit in the room, and said.

"The past is in the past, so why should grandpa remember it and bother himself." Xu Shengliang stood up, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Youzhen, and said with a smile.

"Yes." Xu Youzhen took the teacup, took a sip gently, and then seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Xu Shengliang, and said, "Liang'er, grandpa has something to ask you, I don't know if you can help grandpa?" ”

Xu Shengliang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. This is the second time he has heard Xu Youzhen speak so politely, and the Xu Youzhen he has seen in the past is either scolding those subordinates of Dongchang, or he is gloomy and unsmiling. But now Xu Youzhen is so polite, compared to the first time he asked him if he was willing to admit his relatives, it must be better.

In the same way, it seems to ask for opinions, but in fact there is no room for negotiation.

Xu Shengliang hurriedly knelt down, as he did last time, put his head on the ground, and said: "Grandpa has something to order, since Sheng Liang has followed grandpa, then he is grandpa's person, grandpa is so polite, wouldn't it be a pain in Sheng Liang." ”

Looking at Xu Shengliang who was kneeling on the ground, Xu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, this kid is really getting more and more likable.

Touching Xu Shengliang's head, Xu Youzhen said in a loud voice: "Child, you are a little tired, grandpa is not at ease, you go to Wencheng Street in Xicheng for grandpa to have a look." Then you can shout Ni Songhan. ”

"Sheng Liang knows." Xu Shengliang didn't dare to move, and let Xu Youzhen touch him.

"Go ahead." Xu Youzhen let go of her hand and motioned for Xu Shengliang to leave.

Xu Shengliang dared to stay longer, he got up and bowed his back and retreated. Then walk away briskly.

When Xu Shengliang left, Xu Youzhen slowly leaned on the bed, looking out the window, not knowing what to think.

Since Xu Youzhen's room came out, Xu Shengliang hurried to the backyard, the rain is far away, he needs to take a carriage to go, but there is no one at night, so he can only drive the carriage himself, fortunately, no one is looking for the street, otherwise he does not have a horse driving license, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch.

All the way to the west, about the time of three incense sticks, Xu Shengliang finally rushed to Wencheng Street in the west, but as soon as he arrived here, he was confused, although Xu Youzhen mentioned this street to him a few times, but for this street, he no longer knew anything except how to come.

Standing at the corner of the street, I couldn't see the situation inside, I could only listen to Xu Youzhen's words, and shouted: "Ni Songhan."

I only heard the sound of a broken wind, and soon there was a man in a strong suit standing in front of Xu Shengliang, holding an oil-paper umbrella, which should be because there was no light at night, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Are you Xu Youzhen's person?" The man spoke lightly.
