"Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-......"

The bundled skins are stacked on a flatbed.

The two scribes next to him counted and recorded at the same time, in order to be afraid of any damage or loss on the road.

These things are like a flood beast in the eyes of ordinary people, and they are afraid to avoid it; But in the eyes of some people, it is a dragon's blood dragon root, which can be called a priceless treasure.

Saying......

If it is really the blood of the dragon, will it have any special effect when used for bathing?

Wang Shouye stood not far away, habitually thinking nonsense, until the skin bag was loaded with seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, and then he was ready to board the car and set off.

Who knew that when he turned around, he almost collided with Ma Gui.

Looking at the way he rubbed his hands and looked bitter, he knew that he was still thinking about the redemption of the prisoner's wife.

Isn't there his true love in it?

"Count me brother, I'm afraid of you."

Wang Shouye spread his hands helplessly and said: "I definitely can't leave now, do you think this will be done?" I'll let Li Gao run first, and ask the East Factory to postpone it for two days before sending it to the Teaching Workshop Division. ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Xian!"

Ma Gui's solemn bow confirmed Wang Shouye's speculation.

However, he didn't bother to delve into the feelings of a young man, so he returned the salute and got into the carriage by himself.

Nothing to say all the way.

In front of Bai Changqi, Wang Shouye first roughly explained the number of rhizomes and sap brought back this time, and then proposed a preliminary research direction: try to use these things to lift the curse.

After finishing speaking, he just tentatively mentioned that he wanted to go back to the alley to preside over the overall situation, when he saw Bai Changqi raise his hand: "Don't worry, I still have an errand here, I hope Bocheng can go through it yourself." ”

Sure enough, there was another dispatch!

Wang Shouye said curiously: "I don't know what kind of errand it is, it is more urgent than the black dragon entering the palace?" ”

"It's because of you."

Bai Changqi asked rhetorically: "Do you still remember that when you reported to this official, you suspected that there were White Lotus Sect bandits secretly spying?" ”

White Lotus bandits?

Wang Shouye was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said, "Could it be that your Excellency has discovered the traces of those bandits?!" ”

"That's right."

Bai Changqi nodded, and said solemnly: "This official has now found out that there are dozens of sect bandits who are hiding in Renshoufang, and it is very likely that they want to borrow the black dragon to enter the palace and cause chaos!" ”

Hearing what Bai Changqi said with such certainty, Wang Shouye muttered in his heart.

After getting his report before, the Shanhai Supervisor did gather with Jinyi Wei and conducted a series of investigations and squatting, but because there has been no progress, the investigation has long been stopped, and even the squatting guard has been changed from a dark post to a bright post.

In addition, most of the strength of Shanhaiwei was invested in the black dragon's entry into the palace.

It stands to reason that Bai Changqi has no manpower at hand to continue to investigate this matter.

So where did he get the news?

Still swearing?

Besides, there is no need to make a special trip to find yourself back for such a thing as catching bandits, right?

Zhang Shibang, who was born in Jinyiwei, is an expert in this area.

Although he secretly had doubts in his heart, Wang Shouye did not show it, but said angrily: "My lord, do you want to lead the team to capture this gang of evil bandits?" ”

"Exactly."

Bai Changqi nodded again, and said solemnly: "Now that there are frequent visions, it is difficult to guarantee that there are some strange things falling into the hands of those bandits, so this official hopes that you can take the Buddha's light relics to the formation." ”

This reason is still in the past.

After some discussion, the two decided to draw out a hundred Shanhaiwei from the side of Heilong Hutong, and then seconded two hundred people from the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Armies Governor's Mansion to concentrate on capturing this group of White Lotus Sect bandits.

The general judgment of the Shuntian Mansion and the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were in the Shanhai Prison at this time, and when they heard that they had the credit for picking up for nothing, they naturally had nothing else to say.

Therefore, it only took more than half an hour for the three parties to deploy the manpower neatly, and then in the name of rehearsing the black dragon entering the palace, they were stationed in Renshoufang for control.

…………

In the evening of the same day.

A rush of climbing the stairs broke the silence on the second floor of Ruyiju.

Immediately outside the door of the box, there was a hasty shout from the incense owner Zhao Hong: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" I have something important to report to Elder Han! ”

For some reason, the doorman guarding the door changed from two to one, and Zhao Hong forgot his humility in a hurry, and he couldn't stop it for a while, and the door that he slapped slammed slammed.

Hearing this hurried knock on the door, the corners of Elder Han's mouth showed some inexplicable smiles, and he reached out to take out the wine jug from the charcoal basin, and filled the wine glass hotly, and then indifferently ordered:

"Let Lord Zhao Xiang come in."

Crunch~

The door was immediately pushed open by Zhao Hong, he staggered in, and he didn't care about being polite, so he turned sideways and pointed out, and shouted urgently: "Elder, the situation outside is very wrong, those officers and soldiers seem to be ...... Looks like they're coming for us! ”

"Really?"

Elder Han seemed to be asking rhetorically, but he didn't seem to care about the answer at all.

I saw him look down and sniff the warm wine mist, and sighed faintly in his mouth: "Two days ago, when I was looking for holy relics over there, I felt that something was wrong. ”

"It turns out that the elder had foreseen it?!"

Zhao Hong was a little surprised, his eyes swept to the wooden box on the table, and asked tentatively, "Then I don't know how you are going to deal with it?" ”

"Cope?"

With another short and strange rhetorical question, Elder Han shifted his attention from the cup of hot wine to Zhao Hong, and said indifferently: "In the past few months, several secret piles in the capital have been contacted by Lord Zhao Xiang alone, right?" ”

Does this need to be asked?

Contacting those hidden piles by himself was originally an errand arranged by Elder Han.

Zhao Hong nodded suspiciously, and hesitated: "The elder borrowed those dark stakes to get out?" I'm afraid it's not very feasible, although there are two hidden piles that can be regarded as some ability, but they want to ...... us under the nose of the imperial court."

His words stopped abruptly, the facial features on his face twisted and twitched, and he slowly looked down, only to see a blade dripping blood coming out of his chest.

"Ho...... Ho ......"

Staring at the tip of the knife, Zhao Hong's facial features became more and more distorted, and he tried his best to squeeze out two roars of unknown meaning, his neck suddenly drooped down again, and his slightly fat body collapsed softly.

The guard guarding the door took advantage of the situation to draw a knife from the back of his heart, shook it casually, painted a hideous and bright blood rainbow on the wall, and said with an expressionless face: "Elder, I'll go pull a few cushions." ”

As he spoke, he straightened out with his sword.

After Elder Han saw him go out, he leisurely picked up the wine glass and sipped it one by one.

At first, the glass of wine became less and less, but as time went on, it gradually overflowed again, dripping and staining his beard.

It wasn't until the sound of killing broke out downstairs that Elder Han put down his wine glass in amazement.

…………

Two quarters of an hour later.

Ruyi Ju regained his composure again.

A group of mountain and sea guards pushed open the hidden door, broke in and checked the box several times, and after confirming that it was safe, they lined up in front of the door to welcome the king inside.

After Wang Shouye entered the door, he saw a dead corpse lying on the ground, and an old man with a gray head was lying on the round table in front of the window.

When I got closer, I saw that the old man's mouth and nose were covered with bloody scabs, dyeing his gray beard black and brown, and there was a glass full of blood wine beside him.

On his face, but with a weird smile.

Laughing and half-stepping?

A chaotic thought came to his heart, but Wang Shouye's gaze shifted from the old man's corpse to the wooden box in the middle of the table.

After looking at it for a long time, his chin raised: "Let him come in and recognize him." ”

Puff~

Before the words fell, someone fell on his knees in the corridor, crawled into the door on his knees, and was far away from Wang Shouye's abbot, only to raise his head quailly, with a face full of fear and flattery, it was the guard who had just killed Zhao Hong.
