Chapter 48: Manhunt

"What did you say?" Gao Zhong looked at the congregation in disbelief, this news was really not good news, and Gao Zhong was now doubting whether he had committed Tai Sui.

"My lord, what my subordinates said is true, and the most important thing at the moment is to quickly spread people in Beijing and search for this person." He Zhang said with a solemn expression.

"He Zhang, don't be alarmist." The middle-aged man on the other side said that this person's name was Gao Shun, one of the three chief arresters in the capital, and he happened to be discussing important matters with Gao Zhong.

"Gao Shun, you have been carrying it in Jinju, and you don't know the danger of this person." He Zhang smiled bitterly.

"It's just an assassin in a photo studio, not to mention this person, but the photo studio was not burned down by Yan Guogong in its heyday." Gao Shun said disdainfully.

He Zhang glanced at Gao Shun, shook his head and said, "This person was not famous at that time, but after the photo studio was hidden in Jiangnan, this person seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person." In the third year of Qide, he assassinated Yang Tai, the current governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, on the street, and almost succeeded, and in the fifth year of Qide, he killed the Wang family in Yangzhou by himself, and in the sixth year of Qide, he killed 13 people, and did it quietly until he was discovered three days later. In the seventh year of Qide, the Yangzhou government of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province received the news of his whereabouts, and there were a total of 21 good head hunters, all of whom were killed when they pursued him. ”

Gao Shun listened to what He Zhang said and frowned. This man is indeed a bit tricky. But he heard He Zhang say: "Two years ago, he assassinated the head of the Shi family, although he was unsuccessful, but within three moves, he attacked and killed the personal guard of the old lady of the Shi family, and the guard was the 'fast sword' Shi Ming. ”

"The No. 1 swordsman in Jiangnan?" Gao Shun exclaimed.

He Zhang nodded and said: "This person usually doesn't make a move, and he has only killed important people over the years, and most of the nobles in Jingzhong are nobles, so I'm worried that he will make a move." ”

Gao Zhong looked at He Zhang and frowned, "You read it right? ”

"Lord Hui, you won't be mistaken, I fought with him, and the gun head is very familiar."

Gao Zhong thought for a while and said, "I don't know what he looks like right now, you two will take someone to the capital to investigate carefully, and I will go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and ask them to find someone together." ”

"Yes, sir." He Zhang withdrew with Gao Shun. Gao Zhong thought about it, got up and ordered the butler to prepare the carriage and rush to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Fu Qiuxue has been sitting outside the Luoxian Building for two days, the target has not appeared, playing with the wooden stick in her hand, Fu Qiuxue was about to get up and leave, but saw a woman walk up to him and put a steamed bun in the bowl in front of him.

Fu Qiuxue looked at the scene in front of her in shock, and looked at the person in front of her a little speechlessly, is she so like a beggar? Shen Yue looked at Fu Qiuxue and muttered in a low voice: "What is wrong with being so young, you have to beg along the street." ”

Shen Yue had been seeing Fu Qiuxue in Luoxian Tower for two days, and every day he sat across the street looking at Luoxian Tower, Shen Yue thought he was a beggar, and when he saw his pity, he sent steamed buns over.

Fu Qiuxue looked down at herself, her clothes were indeed a little dirty, and there were a few obvious tatteres. Glancing at Shen Yue who was leaving, Fu Qiuxue threw the steamed bun into the beggar's bowl not far away, got up and clapped her hands, and walked towards the ready-to-wear shop.

After changing into new clothes, Fu Qiuxue looked at the white clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and walked on the street from time to time There were women quietly looking back. Fu Qiuxue's appearance at the moment is really a little dusty. has a good foundation in itself, and if he dresses up a little, he is a young talent, but his cold face makes people dare not approach.

It is not easy to find people in the capital, and the people in the capital are also more sensitive, and when they saw that there were suddenly so many fast catchers and inspections of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on the street, they were a little curious about whether something big had happened in Beijing.

Fu Qiuxue was sitting in the restaurant at the moment, watching the back and forth on the street, frowning and thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out why she suddenly became the way she is now.

"Third brother, what's going on on the street today? So much catch? ”

The person known as the third brother shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Strange, is there anything else that the third brother doesn't know?" Someone quipped.

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is not Shuntian Mansion Yin, do I have to know that there is a disturbance in the capital?" The third brother said angrily.

"Looks like he's catching someone." Someone was skeptical.

"Haven't you heard of any big cases?"

"You don't know this, did you hear about Shen Lian from the Officials Department some time ago?" The third brother said.

"What? What does the third brother know? Everyone looked at the third brother.

The third brother smiled proudly, pointed to the wine glass and signaled to fill the wine, someone hurriedly did so, and the third brother said: "This Lord Shen is a fierce man, and he killed people as soon as he left Beijing." ”

"Killed whom?" Someone asked curiously.

"The wealthy family in Yuzhou heard that they killed thirteen people in one go." The third brother said.

Everyone gasped and asked, "What crime did this family commit?" So many people were killed. ”

"It is said that the victims were killed, but according to the news from there, there are a total of ten crimes, and the most serious one is the private soldier bravery." The third brother said mysteriously.

"This family is going to rebel?" Someone wondered.

"Shhh The third brother glared at the person who spoke, looked around, saw that few people were looking here, and said in a low voice: "What kind of soldier is brave, but a few strong men, which family does not have it, it is just an excuse, it is said that it is because that family is backed by the Xue family and is very arrogant in the local area." ”

Fu Qiuxue, who was listening to the third brother's table chatting, heard the Xue family mentioned in the back, and with a little force in his heart, he crushed the teacup in his hand, and when he heard the movement on Fu Qiuxue's table, the third brother's table also stopped talking and turned his head to look in the direction of Fu Qiuxue.

With a little relief, Fu Qiuxue got up and took out a silver ingot from her purse and put it on the table, turned around and left. Everyone watched Fu Qiuxue leave, and then whispered, "Did you see it?" can crush the porcelain cup with his bare hands without hurting his hand, he is a ruthless character. ”

"It's really a human being who can't be seen, he looks thin and weak, but he didn't expect to be a master." Someone said.

Fu Qiuxue walked out of the restaurant, took a deep breath, and secretly scolded herself for being so unbreathable after so many years. Although he is doing things for the Xue family, who can know that he has a deep blood feud with the Xue family.

Walking to a small stall, Fu Qiuxue seemed to be picking and choosing, and inadvertently asked: "It's been almost a day since these catches, what are you tossing?" ”

"You don't know this guest? It is said that he is looking for someone else, and he has a gun head or something. It's the first time I've seen someone looking for someone with something, but I don't even have a portrait, and I can find a ghost. The stall owner said.

Fu Qiuxue frowned, it seemed that she was looking for herself, could she have been discovered? After thinking about it, Fu Qiuxue put down the things and turned to leave. You have to make some preparations, in case you get recognized, it's troublesome.

Back at the residence, Fu Qiuxue looked at the door, and when she saw that no one was following, she closed the door. Go back to the house and wrap the tip of the gun and put it in the secret compartment in the cabinet. took out a few silver needles from his body and pierced them towards the acupoints on his head, the slight pain made Fu Qiuxue frown, he really didn't like this kind of operation, but he had no choice but to do things.

I saw that the silver needle that was not too long slowly pierced in, and Fu Qiuxue's face also underwent some changes, looking a little older than before, looking at the appearance in the bronze mirror, if you don't carefully compare and identify, it will be like two people like Fu Qiuxue before.

After confirming that it was correct, Fu Qiuxue got up and went out, it seemed that the matter could not be delayed, but Lin Jia never showed up, which made Fu Qiuxue have a headache. Isn't it in the Luoxian Tower? Fu Qiuxue planned to go in and investigate to see if she could find any clues in the Yasukuni Mansion.

After inspecting Beijing for a day, the report of his subordinates made He Zhang very upset, except for the gun head and name, there was almost no news on the side, and the old Yang Tou at the south gate had been summoned away, and the portrait would come out after a while. But the photo studio walks the world, how can it use its true face. The only hope He Zhang has at the moment is that this person hasn't started yet.

After wandering around Luoxian Tower for a day, Fu Qiuxue still found nothing, not even Shen Yue, and he was a little suspicious that there was a mistake in the intelligence. Thinking about whether he should go to the Yasukuni Mansion to find it, and made up his mind, he started to act, looked at the sky, and Fu Qiuxue got up to leave.

Fu Qiuxue, who was dressed in night clothes, glanced at the high wall, this is the first time to enter the Yasukuni Mansion, and most of the mansions of the nobles in the army are not easy to enter, because there are mostly veterans, and the guards in the mansion are also more alert than other places. With one foot on the ground, Fu Qiuxue's body fell lightly on the wall, looked around the surrounding environment, and saw that no one was passing by, so she quietly fell into the grass by the wall.

I hid in the grass for a while, but no one passed by. Fu Qiuxue frowned, and secretly said that the garrison of this country mansion was not too lax. Quietly through the courtyard, the hand fell on the pillar, a little force, the whole person flew up to the roof, this house is not too high, but fortunately can see the entire Yasukuni Mansion in general, see that there is no light in the house, it seems that there is no escort patrol.

Fu Qiuxue breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed at herself in her heart, she was really frightened by the huge name of the Yasukuni Mansion, and it seemed that she was also an empty and famous existence.

Walking quickly on the roof, but there was no sound, it is really rare to see such light work. I cautiously turned around a few yards, but I didn't find the person I was looking for. Fu Qiuxue frowned slightly, looked into the distance, and saw that in the southwest corner of the mansion, there was a light coming out of a four-story building. After a moment's thought, he hurried in that direction.

As soon as she landed on the roof, her figure floated outside the building, Fu Qiuxue cautiously looked towards the crack in the door, but saw that there was only an old man reading inside, and she was slightly disappointed. But at this moment, I heard a voice from inside: "Xiaoyou is here, don't you come in and sit?" ”

The alarm bell in her heart was loud, Fu Qiuxue hurriedly retreated, but heard the sound of breaking the air behind her, only to see Fu Qiuxue's body rotate in an unimaginable way in mid-air and deviate from a distance, and several sharp arrows passed by, nailed to the doorpost fiercely, and the arrows were still trembling.

Fu Qiuxue frowned, she was still careless, she was afraid that she would be targeted as soon as she entered the mansion. When he landed on a tree, he heard the sound of neat steps outside the courtyard, and when he looked out of the courtyard, he saw that a team of men and horses had surrounded the courtyard. Fu Qiuxue smiled bitterly, even the archers used to guard the house, this Yasukuni Duke is really deeply loved by the emperor.

Lin Guangyuan stared coldly at Fu Qiuxue's position and said, "Dare to ask which hero came to my Yasukuni Mansion?" ”

Fu Qiuxue didn't squeak, he was still staring at the direction of the study building just now. The old man gave him a different feeling. Seeing that Fu Qiuxue didn't react, Lin Guangyuan frowned, raised his hand, and remembered a chord control sound outside the courtyard.

"Put!" Lin Guangyuan gave an order, Fu Qiuxue took out the soft sword on his waist and pushed away several sharp arrows from the oncoming face, and after a burst of sharp shots, Fu Qiuxue landed on the ground, glancing at the place where his shoulder was bruised, Fu Qiuxue knew that it was not suitable to stay for a long time, and he used his light skills to retreat.

"Enter!" The guards gathered outside the courtyard, after hearing the order, drew their knives and surrounded Fu Qiuxue, the guards of the Yasukuni Mansion were all from the military, and they worked together to fight for the important things, seeing Fu Qiuxue using light skills to escape, and was about to shoot arrows, Lin Guangyuan heard a voice from the building: "Let him go!" ”

Lin Guangyuan listened, bowed, and waved his hand at the guards, and everyone retreated. The building is the worship of the Lin family, although Lin Guangyuan does not know the way to come, but the head of the family respected him before his death, Lin Guangyuan saw his words, and he did not pursue it, but when someone broke into the house, he must find out.

At this moment in Jiangyin County, Wang Ming, who left Beijing to study, was a little crying without tears, and he left the capital overnight after the incident, and he had been rushing on the road until he settled in Jiangyin County, and he heard that the Duke of Yasukuni had also come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At the moment, it is impossible to leave and return to Beijing, there is no Yasukuni Gong in the capital, and there are other people who have to clean themselves up. But now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang can't stay any longer, he doesn't dare to guarantee that the Yasukuni Guild will not take the time to clean himself up.
