Chapter 43: The Gambling House
When the folk rumors were boiling, Yan Heng sat in the imperial study, looking at these twists and turns in front of him, very annoyed.
He couldn't read a word.
Now the people in this imperial capital are panicking, and the government is about to be unable to suppress this group of scared and panicked people, if they don't find a murderer, they will break out soon.
Yan Heng deliberately picked out the twists and turns of the ministers who were sent to investigate this matter, but all the things written on it were trivial things, and there was no major progress at all.
Yan Heng's brows became tighter and tighter.
He paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, and slapped the fold in his hand on the table next to him, "Waste, it's really a bunch of waste!" ”
"It's been so long, and I haven't found out the clue yet!"
After Yan Heng got angry, he felt the wind blowing outside, and at the same time, someone entered the imperial study and knelt in front of him.
Yan Heng stood up, a rare look of anxiety appeared on his always gloomy but calm face, looked at the man and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
Hearing this, the four killers lowered their heads and reported what he had found, "It seems to be ...... It is related to the Nine Heavens. ”
Yunyi walked into the room quickly.
Qin Changhuan sat on a chair with a book in his hand. She seemed to be reading, but her eyelids kept drooping again and again, as if she was not sleeping.
She seemed a little sleepy and kept dozing.
The beauty lowered her eyes, and this lazy appearance made people feel a little itchy when they saw it.
Yun Yi stood in front of Qin Changhuan, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but have a slight smile on her lips, "If the girl is really sleepy, why don't you go to sleep first?" ”
"No, I'm going to read."
Qin Changhuan opened his eyes suddenly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yun Yi standing beside her, with a little determination and persistence in his tone.
Hearing the sleepiness in her voice, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile more gently and helplessly. She stretched out her hand and took the book away from Qin Changhuan's hand, "If the girl doesn't like it, you don't have to read it." ”
Qin Changhuan also let her take it away, lazily not wanting to move. She lifted her eyelids and said lightly: "Yunyi, you are getting bolder and bolder." ”
"How can I be?" Yun Yi didn't take Qin Changhuan's seemingly dangerous look to heart at all, and she smiled: "I have something important to tell the girl." ”
She looked at Qin Changhuan, with distress under the smile in her eyes.
In the past, Qin Changhuan's least favorite thing was to read books, and even those strategies or the art of war she liked to follow her own ideas, and she was surprised.
But now for revenge, I have to look at these boring books.
Yun Yi retracted his thoughts while thinking about it, and reported to Qin Changhuan: "I have already spread the news according to the girl's instructions, and now, it is estimated that it is about the same." ”
"Hmm." Qin Changhuan replied lazily, his phoenix eyes drooped, revealing a somewhat nonchalant expression, "Next, we just need to wait." ”
It's just that if you look at her expression carefully, you will find that the look in her eyes is clearly a little dangerous, with endless coldness.
The latest news came out in the imperial capital, and the emperor wanted to exterminate the Nine Heavens.
The imperial court issued a decree, and the murder of the officials who made a fuss last time was inseparable from the Nine Heavens, and wanted notices were posted everywhere in the imperial capital.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately set off a huge wave.
Although the organizations in the rivers and lakes are powerful, they all have an unwritten rule that they cannot interfere too much in the political affairs of various countries.
Isn't this move of the Nine Heavens a precedent for breaking this unwritten rule openly?
For a while, many people were snorting about the organization of the Nine Heavens.
Some people say that the Nine Heavens suddenly rose three years ago, and no one has seen the true appearance of the Nine Heavens Venerable, and everyone who has seen them has died.
There are also people who say that the people of the Nine Heavens are strong in martial arts, bloodthirsty and aggressive, and can easily take people's heads among thousands of people.
There are many such rumors, all of them are spreading, in short, they portray the organization of the Nine Heavens as extremely mysterious and terrifying.
In any case, the Nine Heavens Annihilation Activity is about to begin.
The people of the imperial capital stabilized their emotions a little because of the issuance of the wanted warrant this time, but on the night when the wanted warrant was issued, another adult in the imperial capital died.
How powerful and arrogant is this Nine Heavens? are all wanted, and they can still kill people in the imperial capital?
The people's hearts, which had just stabilized, were once again in a panic.
You know, now that the order is being ordered, who knows if the Nine Heavens will jump over the wall in a hurry and kill like last night?
Beiyan Imperial Palace.
Yan Heng looked at the news from the people below, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was extremely angry, "How can this be true, how can it be unreasonable!" ”
Isn't this a naked provocation?
This is clearly a provocation to his majesty!
In Yan Heng's opinion, the death of this official was a war letter issued to him by the Nine Heavens, so arrogant and unsightly, Yan Heng was really angry.
"It's really the other way around." Yan Heng muttered gloomily, many complicated expressions flashed in his eyes, and finally sat back on the dragon chair and called lightly: "Fu Li." ”
Fu Li fell silently in front of him, half-knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty." ”
He lowered his head and reported word by word: "I have found out the location where the Nine Heavens have been active and settled recently, do you want to do it?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Heng immediately ordered, "Do it." ”
If you don't do it again, I'm afraid that the people of the Nine Heavens will rebel, and this imperial capital will soon become the world of the Nine Heavens.
"Yes."
Fu Li said yes and was about to leave.
Before leaving, Yan Heng suddenly called out to him, "Wait, if you have the opportunity, arrest their sect master." If you really can't do it, you will kill it. ”
"Yes."
With this sound of promise, Fu Li disappeared into the room.
After arranging everything, Yan Heng couldn't help but lean on the dragon chair behind him.
The unique warmth of the dragon chair and the coldness of the top are intertwined, which is clearly a very contradictory feeling, but Yan Heng feels a trace of peace of mind from this.
He rested his hands on the armrests, his eyes calm.
It is said that the Nine Heavenly Venerable Lord is mysterious and powerful, and those who can be used by his command will be under his command, and if they cannot be used by him, then it will be a direct result.
Such a person cannot be allowed to become his enemy.
Such a thought flashed in Yan Heng's heart, and his expression gradually eased. Although the killing of this official is now in an uproar, it is about to end.
Everything is still under his control.
……
Laughter, noise, cries, all kinds of sounds are intertwined to make up the human state of this place.
This is an underground gambling house in the imperial capital.
The scale of this gambling house can basically be said to be the largest underground gambling house in the imperial capital, and even many rich sons and sons come here to gamble.
There are all kinds of things in the world, but that's the case.
It's just that the people who come here wear masks on their faces to prevent anyone from discovering their identities and causing some bad effects.
But masks don't do much.
Even if the sons of some powerful families wear masks, the people around them can see their identities at a glance, so they are extremely complimentary.
Fu Li stood at the door of the gambling house, and before he stepped in, he felt the incomparably chaotic and attractive atmosphere of money inside.
He frowned, and raised his eyes to step in.
Who knew that at this time, someone suddenly flashed in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "This son is the first time to come to us, right?" I don't think I understand our rules here. ”
It's a woman.
The woman's figure is soft and slender, and her voice is clear and beautiful, which makes people can't help but want to see what she looks like.
It's just a pity that that face is covered with a thin pink veil, which happens to completely cover her face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
The woman's gaze fell on the sword pinned to Fu Li's waist, and explained softly: "We can't bring any blade here, including subordinates. ”
Fu Li was followed by three or four subordinates.
Fu Li was silent for a while, and suddenly raised a smile: "Naturally, I just don't know the rules here, thank you girl for your advice." ”
"Not necessarily."
Fu Li took off the sword from his waist very cooperatively, and then said to the few people who followed him: "You don't have to come in." ”
The men nodded.
"Childe, please put on this and come with me."
The woman said softly, handing Fu Li an ordinary human face mask. It's just the most ordinary mask, and there are no patterns on it.
Fu Li took it and put it on.
Now in the eyes of outsiders, Fu Li Jiu is like a son with a good family background, who is led deeper by a woman.
Fu Li was deliberately disguised today.
Everyone knows that the Nine Heavens are mysterious and powerful, and although they have found the temporary residence of the Nine Heavens, he can't act rashly, and he must first inquire about the situation.
Fu Li followed the woman while silently surveying his surroundings.
The gambling house was naturally lively, and there was a constant sound of cheers or sighs in the ears, and everyone was wearing masks and couldn't see clearly, but their psychological state could also be seen from their eyes and body movements.
Most of them here are wearing masks like him that don't have anything, and there are a few other masks.
For example, the pure black mask with blue fangs, the mask of black and white. And some of them are white and red, and pure red masks.
There are almost no bright red masks, and the patterns on them look like a phoenix with wings ready to fly, which is quite gorgeous and beautiful.
Fu Li pretended to glance casually and then withdrew his gaze, and asked the woman walking in front of him, "Is there anything special about the mask here?" ”
"Naturally, there is." The woman walked in front and didn't look back, but her voice came clearly and steadily, "If you lose, it's black, and if you win, it's red." ”
Masks are given according to the degree of winning and losing, so that people can see at a glance which of them has the better chance of winning.
But there are also some thrills that have never been experienced before.
