It was late at night, Ye Qing, Lao Liu Tou, Zhao Qi'er, Wu Yong and others stood in the dimly lit courtyard center, and the thick smell of blood was still permeating the entire courtyard even after the night breeze blew it.

There were as many as seventy or eighty corpses lying on the ground, and short knives and bows and crossbows were scattered all over the ground, making the entire courtyard center, Ye Qing and the others standing at this moment, like lonely souls and wild ghosts in hell, the atmosphere was strange and solemn and murderous.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside again, and the entire inside and outside of the tea shop had been turned over by Ye Qing and the others, except for the dead bodies lying on the ground, they didn't catch a single live mouth.

As Xu Qing, who chased out in the end, led more than a dozen other Imperial City Division guards with bows and crossbows to rush back to the center of the courtyard, Ye Qing, who had been frowning, opened his mouth and asked, "How?" ”

"I had poison in my mouth, and I committed suicide as soon as I caught up with him." Xu Qing said with some gasp.

Then Lao Liu Tou, Zhao Qi'er and others also shook their heads one by one, they came back a little earlier than Xu Qing, and they also found nothing, they didn't catch even a single live mouth, or they could still breathe.

But whether it was Lao Liu Tou or Zhao Qi'er, even Wu Yong and Xu Qing, they all had to admire Ye Qing, and after Ren Dejing and Ye Luyue left one after another, they immediately ordered them to hide around the courtyard and in the peripheral roads, ready to wait for the rabbit.

Everyone didn't know who Ye Qing was going to guard against like this, but they still habitually followed Ye Qing's orders immediately, so when they had just arranged everything inside and outside the courtyard of the tea shop, and before they had time to set up cards on the periphery of this area, they were shot intensively by the black-clothed man with a crossbow and crossbow at the backyard room, like a rain curtain.

"What now, what are we going to do with these corpses?" After receiving the indication of safety outside, Lao Liu Tou lit the torch in his hand, and while checking the dead bodies in the courtyard with several other people, he looked up and asked Ye Qing, who was standing quietly and thoughtfully.

Ye Qing didn't answer Lao Liu's words for the first time, looked up at the pitch-black sky, and then took a heavy breath of air mixed with the strong smell of blood, and then said slowly: "Immediately send someone to ask Han Dao to rush over, I am afraid that the death of these people will be blamed on our heads." ”

"Yes...... These people are all unknown ....... Lao Liu Tou looked at the ground and pretended to be dead, although all the weapons in his hands were unique weapons of the Xia Army, but ...... Does this mean that they are soldiers of the Xia Kingdom?

"If Ren Dejing comes over again and says that they are Xia soldiers, that is Xia soldiers, and that they are Xia people, and that they are Xia people, we are speechless. This is Ren Dejing's revenge, what he wants is evidence of our killing, no matter who kills, but as long as we kill someone in Xingqing Mansion, he has the right to ask us for the crime. Ye Qing said with a frown.

When Ren Dejing left, his words were too righteous and awe-inspiring, full of pride, and even made people think that the reason why he took refuge in the Xia Kingdom was entirely because of the persecution of the corrupt and incompetent Song Dynasty, so he had no choice but to take refuge in the Xia Kingdom.

In fact, he is still a loyal courtier who loves the country and the people, and a righteous gentleman full of positive energy!

But who would have thought that after such a righteous and stern and righteous awe-inspiring words, he turned his head and sent the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom to assassinate him.

If it weren't for the fact that I had kept an eye on it, I felt that in addition to being dignified and solemn tonight, it would inevitably seem too calm, as if there was a trace of something missing, but I didn't expect to turn around and bring it to me, and Xingqing City was still lacking after being heavily guarded: the smell of blood.

Lao Liu Tou patted the hand that had just checked the dead body, handed the torch in his hand to Zhao Qi'er next to him, and then nodded like Ye Qing, and was about to walk in the direction of the tea shop, ready to go to the gate to find Han Daochong.

"Lao Liu, go over the wall and walk in the back streets." Zhao Qi'er held a torch in his hand, glanced at the wooden door leading to the tea shop in the backyard, and then pointed to the backyard wall with the torch in his hand.

"It makes sense." Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then gave Zhao Qi'er a thumbs up and said.

Just after Lao Liu Tou just climbed over the wall, the warning voice of the Imperial City Division of the Imperial City Department sounded outside the tea shop, and as the warning sound has not completely dissipated, it is a burst of horses' hooves and footsteps that are extremely clear in the middle of the night, and they are rushing from the outside in the direction of the tea shop.

"What now? Looks like this is going to surround us. Zhao Qi'er first looked at the wall that Lao Liu Tou had just turned over, listened intently for a long time, and after making sure that Lao Liu Tou had left smoothly, he hurriedly walked to Ye Qing and said.

Under the light in Wu Yong's hand, Ye Qing quickly took a pen and sketched on the paper, and after writing, he didn't even have time to read it again, and then handed it to Wu Yong and said, "Send it to Dasanguan immediately." Also, Po Li San is estimated to be arriving soon, and when he arrives, tell him not to act rashly. Xu Qing, you are keeping an eye on the Liao people's subjugation of Qu Zhulu, it is very likely that the Liao people will personally do it to Wan Yan Jing, remember not to let them succeed, if it really doesn't work, you will work with Li San to stop the Liao people from attacking Wan Yan Jing. ”

Xu Qing, Wu Yong and Zhao Qi'er glanced at each other, and Ye Qing in front of him obviously looked like he was explaining what was going on, which made the three of them involuntarily say at the same time: "All heads ......." ”

"Ren De respects the old man and the cunning of the city, and he has always endured me, and now that the courtyard is full of dead bodies, it is time for him to start taking revenge and take the initiative. Let alone...... Ren Lei was imprisoned by me in the Imperial City Prison, do you think Ren Dejing, who is Lao Tzu, can really pass by without caring and laughing? Ye Qing clapped his hands, and the field knife was also taken out by him and thrown to Xu Qing, after having nothing else on his body except for the watch on his wrist, as the footsteps outside and the sound of iron hooves got closer and closer, Ye Qing opened the door to the tea shop and walked easily to the tea shop.

is still the same sentence, Ren Dejing's behavior in front of Ye Qing today is too abnormal, and even since dealing with Ye Qing, Ren Dejing has deliberately tolerated Ye Qing, no matter how Ye Qing sarcastically mocked him for treason back then, whether it was Ye Qing in front of the ministers of the Xia Kingdom, he kept calling him Ren Tongju, Ren Dejing endured it, as if he didn't care at all.

The city is extremely deep, treacherous and cunning, just like Ren Dejing's label, Ye Qing obviously didn't believe it from the beginning, Ren Dejing could be indifferent to his sarcasm about him.

Therefore, in the face of Ye Qing's ridicule, the more arrogant and indifferent Ren Dejing became, the more Ye Qing obviously did not dare to relax his vigilance against Ren Dejing.

If the assassination fails, he immediately came to investigate the case in person, which is very in line with the style of Ren Dejing, who is very deep in the city and cunning.

After all, being able to go from a small general judgment in the Song court to such a high position as the King of Chu in the Xia Kingdom, Ren Dejing must have gone all the way, and he will never be less ridiculed and abused, and he can still stand out in the Xia Kingdom and become a king who is on an equal footing with the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, and even dares to blatantly divide the country and claim the emperor, naturally he has his ruthless, treacherous and cunning side.

As soon as the oil lamp in the tea shop was lit, the originally sturdy gate of the Zhongwei tea shop was blown open as if it had been blown open with explosives, and with a cracking sound, the two wooden doors scattered and flew away, and then the heavily armed Xia soldiers rushed in like a flood of beasts.

Ye Qing blocked the freshly lit oil lamp with one hand, and the smashed wooden door and the wind brought into the tea shop when the Xia soldiers rushed in made the flame of the oil lamp blocked by Ye Qing's hand sway violently.

After the flame of the oil lamp stabilized again, he stopped Zhao Qi'er and the others behind him from rushing over to confront the Xia soldiers, and sat down in front of the Eight Immortals table in the tea shop with a relaxed expression, and then watched the Xia soldiers who rushed in into two columns and made way for the middle passage.

Ren Dejing, Ren Lei, father and son, one with a solemn look and the other with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, slowly walked into the tea shop from among the two columns of Xia soldiers.

When he saw that Ye Qing was already sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals with a relaxed expression, as if he was waiting for their father and son to arrive, even Ren Dejing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Ren Tong's sentence is too late, if only it were faster." Ye Qing pointed to the chair opposite and said.

"Oh? Is it? Shaoqing thinks the old man is late? Ren Dejing was not polite, walked to the chair that Ye Qing pointed out just now and sat down, although Ren Lei next to him did not get the treatment of sitting down, but the vengeful sneer and schadenfreude on his face became stronger and stronger.

"If you want to investigate the corpses, they are all behind, a total of seventy-eight, and the rest must have been seen by Ren Tongju on the way here." Ye Qing looked at the dial with his wrist in full view, it was already four o'clock, and it was also Shen Shi.

"What if the old man comes to find the murderer?" Ren Dejing looked at Ye Qing calmly and asked.

And Ren Lei, who was standing behind him, waved his hand to the Xia soldiers, and a team of Xia soldiers rushed through Zhao Qi'er and a few people at the back door, and rushed to the backyard like a gust of wind.

"Do you still need to find the murderer?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"So Shaoqing admitted this murder case?" Ren Dejing asked calmly.

"As the so-called crime is not to be added, not to mention the Xia Kingdom that surrendered in Ren Tong's judgment, do I have any other choice?" Ye Qing never looked at Ren Lei with a sneer and a gloating expression on his face.

"Ye Shaoqing is really extraordinary, he was able to do earth-shattering things in the Golden Country, and then he was able to retreat with his whole body, even the old man had to admire Shaoqing's wisdom and bravery. The old man also has unspeakable hidden and unavoidable hardships, the old man is the old man is the minister of the old country, and he also warned Shaoqing last night, so that Shaoqing left quickly, but Shaoqing didn't trust the old man, and still stayed here, the old man was in his heart...... How so? It's still quite difficult and tangled. Ren Dejing sighed for a long time, as if the reason why he did this was also because of the persecution of the King of Jinyuan County of the Jin Kingdom.

"Actually, Ren Tongju doesn't have to fake other people's excuses, the matter of Jin Guo is very clear in my heart, even if Wan Yan Yong hates me for killing his two important ministers, presumably with Wan Yan Yong's eloquence and personality, he will not let Ren Tong judge help him take down my Ye Qing. Therefore, Ren Tongju does not need to explain, and he does not have to associate the matter of being arrested today with Jin Guo. Ye Qing said with a smile, and Ren Tongju in front of him flashed a trace of gloom in his eyes, and then his eyes quickly returned to Ye Qing's body from the faces of Zhao Qi'er and several people behind Ye Qing.
