Chapter 311: The Phantom of Luling (Part II)
Dusk, Xingyang City Gate.
A wheelbarrow full of hay drove out slowly, and the city gate keeper raised his hand to signal to check, and when he saw clearly the person pushing the wheelbarrow, he raised his hand and waved his hand, and shouted rudely, "Hurry up, hurry up, the city gate is going to be closed, brothers, it's been a hard day, tonight my host, everyone relax."
"Thank you Shouzheng" The guards under his hands sent people to thank them in a mess, some of them were more arrogant, lit up the wine shop, and asked the girl, and the meat talk was a basket, and the cold and exhaustion of the body were gone.
"Okay, it's up to you" waved his hand generously, obviously a well-founded family, and didn't care about these, he just gave the clan a credit, presumably the old man can be decent in front of the patriarch, but he taught the old man to be happy, how much money is just idle things.
In the darkness, on both sides of the road, there were many figures, the blades of grass swayed, and there seemed to be several groups of people, almost moving at the same time, and at the same time quieting down.
After a long time, a group of people who were still lying in the grass tried to crawl forward, throwing grass roots and stones into the four directions, but there was no movement, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and one of the leaders frowned, and a few jumped up a big tree, looked around, and looked around angrily, "Kill a thousand knives, run fast enough, hurry up and keep up, if the dead Taoist priest is really dead, it will ruin the princess's big thing, we will not be able to eat and walk"
Figures kept jumping out all around, running as fast as they could in the direction of the wheelbarrow, all of them with light steps, and it didn't take long to run for dozens of miles, the road winding, turning to a hidden place in the dense forest on one side and the river on the other.
"Whoosh" flew in front of a cold light, densely woven into a net, enveloping this group of people, everyone was busy burying their heads in the road, but they did not pay attention, noticed something wrong, and when they looked up, it was already too late.
"Ahhh......h
The perpetrator was not at ease, several black shadows held short blades, lowered their figures, swooped down from the dense forest like streamers, rushed to the place where everyone fell to the ground, castration was still non-stop, and the short blades accurately slashed through the neck one by one, like a deadly demon wind, merciless.
The leader of the "son of a bitch" fell behind, his injury was only on the arm, and there was no big problem, thinking of faking death to escape the catastrophe, but he didn't expect the other party to be so desperate, wishful thinking failed, stimulated the ferocity, jumped up, and the long knife slashed at a man in black in front of him, intending to pull a few cushions.
"Whoosh" A willow leaf flying knife broke through the air and shot straight into his throat, and without even a snort, it fell from mid-air.
The black-clothed man in front of him lost a few hairs on his forehead, but he was almost alive, and in shock, he swung his short blade and slashed several times at the leader's neck, causing him to lose his head in a different place, venting his fear, and running wildly, disappearing into the darkness.
On the outskirts of Xingyang, Zheng's other business.
The place was as usual, the guards led the yellow dogs lazily, the main courtyard was dark and uninhabited, and the wings where the servants and maids lived were brightly lit, and occasionally some figures walked around.
No one noticed that on the roof of their backyard, there were several men in black who blended into the darkness.
"Ao Lao, there is an abnormal movement in the Zheng family, how to stop it, first take action to get the evidence of the crime, or report to the commander first?"
The black-clothed man known as Ao Lao closed his eyes and pondered, restless, he was Ao Han, the old man of the plum blossom guard, he was here, he was a detective, not a mission, five surnames and seven families, all of them had such a detective, Xingyang Zheng was the closest to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and the most powerful detective, it was his kind of old worship in the execution, he thought about the two waves of people he had just met, and after a wave of people left, he realized that the kung fu of concealing his whereabouts was still above them, and this feeling was not for a long time.
"Don't be impatient, even if you have peers, I'm afraid you're going to make a mistake with criminal evidence, but you don't have a head or brain, and you can't report it, check it out first, a little eyebrows, and then you can speak, the soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to the death here, all the way to the Xingyang Government Office with me, grab a tongue, and inquire about some news"
Under the roof where they stood, a group of black-clothed men sat cross-legged, silent, and in front of them, several disheveled maids were gagged, shrunk into a ball, shivering, and watched as these four or five people, like a few cold and hard stones, motionless.
The terrifying silence lasted for most of the hour, when a few cat meows rang out, and a group of men in black entered through the window.
"How?" The person sitting cross-legged was the second of the eight horses, he was ordered to track down Zhang Jing's traces, and he was a step too late, so that Zhang Jing was hidden in the Xingyang Office, he opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"There are no casualties, and there are no live mouths, there are people staring here, it should be the wave of people from Fangcai" The later man in black was led by the Dragon Descending Arhat, and he was also the one who almost capsized in the gutter, until this time, his breath was still a little unstable.
No one spoke, and silence fell.
"Poison, control everyone here, disguise yourself as a servant here, interrogate Zhang Jingzang, see what he said when he entered the official mansion, always keep the closest distance from him, find out the truth, immediately fly the eagle to send a message to the master, please give instructions to stop" Turning Yu set the charter, squinting at the dragon descending Arhat, this person is a thorn in the head, always loves to sing the opposite.
This time, he changed his temper, just nodded with a calm face, brushed the dog-like hair in front of his forehead with his hand, and did not make a sound.
In the second half of the night, all the lights in Beiye dimmed, and the people who were staring at this place outside gradually relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't know that there had been a change of owner here.
"Knock knock knock......" The violent slamming sound of the door was particularly harsh in the night.
Zheng Jingsi, who had a big deal hidden in his heart, turned over and got up with a spirit, didn't care about the questions and calls of his wife beside him, ran to the front yard with a smoke, and asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother, the big thing is not good" Zheng Shanying was covered in cold sweat, "A family member came to report the news, my staff, missing"
"So fast?" Zheng Jingsi screamed out loud, and then shook his head, "No, it won't be so fast, how can it be, it must be a coincidence, how can something happen overnight, it must be a coincidence"
"You, quickly return to the government office" Zheng Jingsi calmed down, noticed the mistake, and pointed to Zheng Shanying and ordered, "Detain all the servants who know about Zhang Jing's hiding matter"
"Hey, hey" Zheng Shanying wished that someone would be the backbone of him, and he didn't care about Zheng Jingsi's attitude at all, and ran out with a smoke.
Shendu, Princess Yiyang's Mansion.
Gaoyang Wang Wu Chongxun came to the door to thank him, thanks to the monks from the grassland, his unspeakable hidden was cured, and in addition to thanking, he was also apologizing, "They are all women in the family who don't know the general situation, they have no words, they have no other intentions, and they hope that the virtuous brother is not strange"
Quan Ce just laughed, this Fang Shi cured Wu Chongxun's illness, Liang Wangfu had the idea of cutting off the beard, and wanted to leave people behind, so he arranged for Wu Chongxun's concubine to come forward to stay, as soon as Fang Shi heard this, he spat on the spot and walked away, it was Bu Yue's dress, how could he listen to someone's solicitation?
"Your Highness doesn't have to mind, it's all human nature, and there are such wholehearted people in His Highness's room, and he is envious."
Wu Chongxun skipped this section when he heard him laugh, knowing that he really didn't care, and breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, "Virtuous brother is generous, foolish brother is ashamed, if it is convenient, can you allow me to meet Her Royal Highness the princess to show respect"
Quan Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile, "Your Highness has a heart, and please wait"
There have already been people who went to the backyard to pass the gift, Quan Ce and Wu Chongxun talked and laughed, Fang Shi cured the disease, the effect was extraordinary, meeting the elders, it was the good meaning of the Tong family, presumably not only the meaning of Wu Chongxun, but also the goodwill of Wu Sansi, they had a short period of cooperation, and now Quan Ce saved the most important lifeline of Liang Wangfu, this favor, I want to come to Wu Sansi to weigh it.
After pondering for a long time, Quan Ce sent Wu Chongxun away and returned to the study.
There was a secret letter lying above, from Xingyang.
Quan Ce read it silently and said two sentences.
"Vicious enough"
"Beyond Measure"
After finishing speaking, he wrote a reply letter with a pen that penetrated the back of the paper, and when the morning light appeared on the horizon, he flew out.
