The capital has been searched for many days, but there is still no whereabouts of the 'silver face', and He Zhang's whole person has become extremely irritable in the past few days, and many officials are avoiding He Zhang.

"How many times have you said it, staring at Luoxian Tower, what are you doing back?" He Zhang looked at his subordinates and said angrily.

"Boss, I said it, the people in the Yasukuni Mansion let us go, and they said that we were in the way there." Some people complained that they could not afford to provoke the Yasukuni Mansion, and they would be angry and scolded when they came back, and what they had done wrong.

He Zhang frowned, since the Yasukuni Mansion sent someone to Luoxian Tower, his gang was driven out, and this is the third time in this time. The Yasukuni Mansion does not arrest people full-time, but he still has no way to take them, and it is not impossible to dismantle the Shuntian Mansion in a hurry, and now there is only one clue in his hand, Luoxian Tower, He Zhang originally thought that he could find something here, but he didn't expect it to go smoothly.

"Well, you go down and rest first, I have my own plans for this." He Zhang had a headache, and he needed to sort out the current situation.

Fu Qiuxue has been studying the Medicine King diagram for the past few days, but after looking at it for a few days, she still has no clue. He hadn't studied any painting before, and he was about to go out to let off steam, but as soon as he got up, he heard movement outside the door. Fu Qiuxue quietly opened the crack in the door and looked, but she didn't find anyone. Thinking about it with some doubts, Fu Qiuxue put away the painting and got up to go out.

When she came to Luoxian Tower, Fu Qiuxue didn't see Shen Yue today, thinking that she should go to the outer city again, so she ordered a cup of tea and waited there. But after a while, Fu Qiuxue found that something was wrong, there was a person on the side of the street who was very weird, Fu Qiuxue squinted and looked over, and saw that the person had a jade pendant hanging on his waist, but the thread used was very special, it was made of white silk, and the color also changed a little from different angles.

"Why is the Death Guard here?" Fu Qiuxue muttered, the dead guard was formed after the studio went south, and most of them were composed of dead soldiers in the hands of each family, Fu Qiuxue has always disliked the dead guard and acted unscrupulously. But then it's a little strange, the dead guard is usually a three-person action, why are there only two people on the street?

Immediately, Fu Qiuxue seemed to remember something, and suddenly stood up and rushed back towards the foothold, he understood what was going on with the sound just now. But before he could take a few steps, a scream came from behind him.

"Murdered!" There was a sudden chaos at the entrance of Luoxian Tower, many people ran out of the building, and the street was also in chaos. I only heard a 'bang', and a person flew out from the second floor of the Luoxian Building and fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Yue stabilized his figure, glanced at the two guards of the Yasukuni Mansion, and escorted Lin Jia down the stairs. Shen Yue couldn't have imagined that the people in the 'photo studio' would dare to do it in broad daylight.

Seeing this, another person on the street drew a knife and rushed up, Fu Qiuxue frowned, this person is a master, I am afraid that he is the leader among the three, Fu Qiuxue thought about it and planned to ignore the matter here, but he didn't want to, and three more people poured out of the street. Shen Yue, who could have delayed, was a little anxious in an instant, there were too many people, and Lin Jia didn't know martial arts.

Blocking a few knives, Shen Yue pushed Lin Jia away, and saw a knife slashed on Shen Yue's arm. Seeing this, Fu Qiuxue gritted her teeth and ran to the battle group, seeing that a few knives were about to fall on her body, Shen Yue closed her eyes resignedly, and after waiting for a long time but didn't feel the knife falling on her body, she opened her eyes suspiciously, but saw that it was Fu Qiuxue blocking in front of her, Shen Yue's eyes lit up.

"Can you still move? Don't be stunned. Fu Qiuxue said, Shen Yue hurriedly picked up the sword and protected Lin Jia and retreated.

The leader looked at Fu Qiuxue coldly and said, "The head of the family really didn't guess wrong. ”

Fu Qiuxue frowned when she heard this, and said, "People from the Xue family? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's die." The knife was extremely fast, Fu Qiuxue's face sank, this was a dead hand, but what did the Xue family for? Could it be that his identity has been exposed? kicked up the bench on the side to block the attacking big knife, and Fu Qiuxue dodged sideways. With a flick of the sleeve, a thin sword slipped out of the sleeve. With a slight force on the tip of the sword, the leader opened the leader for several feet.

The man stepped forward, under the shadow of the sword, Fu Qiuxue frowned, his sword is only for emergency use, this person's sword is domineering, I am afraid that the sword will not last long, it seems that it can't fight hard.

Performing his technique, Fu Qiuxue shook behind him, the man turned around and slashed at the knife, Fu Qiuxue used his feet hard, stabilized his lower body, put the sword across his arm and stabbed it, and his right hand was on the side of the man, and the two snorted at the same time, and then separated. Fu Qiuxue coughed lightly, and the man looked at his armpits and was about to step forward, but before he could take a step, he fell to the ground.

At this time, the guards of the Yasukuni Mansion on the other side had already killed two people, and the remaining one was about to rush up after looking at the situation and gritting his teeth, but he didn't run a few steps before a sharp arrow pierced behind him.

Fu Qiuxue looked behind her, and saw that it was someone from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. The captain on the horse glanced at the scene and said coldly: "Bring back all the dead." ”

Seeing that the people in the Yasukuni Mansion did not react, Fu Qiuxue thought that he should have been prepared, but fortunately, he did not do it alone in the past few days, not to mention the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, even the two people in the Yasukuni Mansion It would take a lot of effort for him to deal with them.

It seems that he thought that Fu Qiuxue was from the Yasukuni Mansion, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not come forward to interrogate, and the guards of the Yasukuni Mansion thought that he was from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they did not say anything. Seeing that the matter was over, Shen Yue stepped forward, looked at Fu Qiuxue and said, "Thank you." ”

Fu Qiuxue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'll go first." Glancing at the knife wound on Shen Yue's arm, Fu Qiuxue said, "Deal with the injury." ”

Shen Yue's face turned red and he answered in a low voice. Fu Qiuxue didn't say anything when she saw this and left, the painting must have been taken away, today the people of the Xue family are going to kill themselves, it seems that this time the matter is over, and he must hurry back to Yangzhou to avoid any changes.

There was an assassination case in the capital and there were deaths, although they were all assassins, but it was a big case to fight with a knife in the capital, and this was not the most fatal, and no one in Shuntianfu was present at the time, which was dereliction of duty. Looking at the congratulatory zhang standing under the hall, Gao Zhong said angrily: Xishi has always been in charge of you, and there is such a big incident today, what about your people? ”

He Zhang was really a little wronged, he had just removed the person and there was such a thing, the key is to take care of himself, He Zhang knelt on the ground and said: "It's the dereliction of duty of his subordinates." ”

"Four have died, and you have been investigating the case of the 'photo studio' during this time, what can you find?" Gao Zhong was a little angry, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Do you think that this official is very comfortable with this Shuntian Mansion?" You tell the official, and the palace asks, what should the official say? ”

He Zhang has no words, and it is nonsense to say more in this situation now. Seeing that He Zhang didn't say a word, Gao Zhong continued: "Now immediately take the whole city, there must still be people in the capital in the 'Shadow Building', remember not to let go of one, if there is any mistake, you have a hundred heads that are not enough for people to cut off." ”

"Subordinates receive orders." He Zhang went down to arrange for people to investigate the whole city, and today he will definitely let go of none of the people in the photo studio.

After the assassination, Shuntianfu announced a five-day curfew, and the streets were full of fast arresters, and many inns were carefully searched, but Fu Qiuxue went out of the capital directly afterwards.

He Zhang and others searched the capital, and still did not find any trace of the 'photo studio', but they caught a lot of cats and dogs.

The people don't know why, but they appreciate the approach of Shuntianfu. Different from the mood of the people in the capital, Gao Zhong can be said to be crying without tears at the moment, he has been kneeling at the palace gate for half an hour. I don't feel any more in my legs.

Wang Wei looked at Gao Zhong, who was kneeling at the gate of the palace, summoned a little eunuch, and ordered: "Go, call Master Gao, and say that the Holy Lord will let him go to the council hall to reply." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch trotted all the way to Gao Zhong's side and said a few words, Gao Zhong looked up, and tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but he didn't want to stumble and almost fall, but fortunately, the little eunuch quickly helped Gao Zhong up.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Gao Zhong smiled bitterly, rubbed his knees, and after recovering for a while, walked towards the council hall. The council hall is where the cabinet members deliberate, and the emperor usually listens to the government and discusses with the cabinet members. This is the first time that Gao Zhong has been summoned by the emperor here.

Seeing Gao Zhong walking to the door, Wang Wei nodded to Gao Zhong, and went into the house to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Gao is here." ”

"Let him in." Li Yuan said.

Gao Zhong tidied up the clothes on his body, walked into the house, and quietly glanced at it, only Xia Shoufu and Yan Shixun were there, and bowed to the emperor: "Minister, meet the emperor." But as soon as the man knelt halfway down, and before his knees hit the ground, Li Yuan's voice came: "Okay, let's get flat, I've been kneeling for half an hour." ”

Gao Zhong's heart warmed and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Li Yuan glanced at Gao Zhong and asked, "How is the investigation in Beijing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is incompetent, and he hasn't caught anyone yet." Gao Zhong said bitterly.

"That's it, there were still those who escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the army back then, and your ability to Shuntianfu was limited, so it was embarrassing for you." Li Yuan said lightly.

Gao Zhong blushed when he was stabbed by these words, what is the limited ability of Shuntianfu, doesn't this still mean that he is incompetent? There are also thousands of people registered in Shuntianfu, and after looking for so many days, they haven't even touched the shadow of the 'photo studio', which is no different from a rice bucket.

"The minister is guilty, and he asks to be dismissed." Gao Zhong stretched out his hand to take off the pipe hat, Li Yuan saw this, and didn't say anything, Xia Lindao said at this time: "Lord Gao, what are you doing here?" ”

"Lord Shoufu, Shuntianfu first committed the crime of negligence, and then the crime of slacking off and unfavorable affairs, which was caused by the lax governance of the lower officials in the past, and should be removed from his post and investigated." Gao Zhong said.

Xia Lindao shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said: "There are times when everything is missed, you are too strict with yourself, you have handled the affairs of the capital well over the years, the emperor is right, the matter of 'Shadow Studio' cannot be solved for a while, and it is not all your fault." ”

"I have the final say on the dismissal, it's not that you Gao Zhong won't do it if you don't want to, give me a good reflection and a fine of one year." Li Yuan said.

Gao Zhong was stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Emperor Xie." ”

"Get up, go back and check it out." Li Yuan waved his hand. Gao Zhong retreated, looking at Gao Zhong's back, Xia Lin said, "Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Li Yuan raising his hand, he knew what he was doing, and said: "It's not a good thing to be a wall grass all the time, but at the moment, it is more suitable for him to do it in Shuntianfu." Then he looked at Yan Shixun and asked, "When will the Shi family enter Beijing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there are still three days, and the Shi family is walking very slowly, after all, the old lady of the Shi family is very old." Yan Shixun said.

"It's a wake-up call, knowing that the current Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a fire pit." Li Yuan said with a smile.

"There has already been a breakthrough on the side of the Yasukuni Gong, if the news sent by Shen Lian a few days ago is true, we must prepare early." Xia Lindao said.

Li Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "I want to let the Xue family know this time, there are some things that can't be touched, not that he can hold in his hands if he wants to, people must be self-aware." ”

Xia Lindao and Yan Shixun glanced at each other, and didn't speak again, in the end, it was the Xue family who died by themselves, and the country was a heavy weapon, not just anyone could touch it.
