Wang Mang was assassinated by the master of the Ji family at a Yuelai Inn in the west of Dingxi Guancheng, and under the special publicity of the official, almost all the people in Dingxi Guan knew about the situation in one day.

A few months ago, the Xiongnu Dadan united the troops and horses of the countries to the south, slaughtered millions of people and soldiers in one fell swoop, and broke through 18 passes in a row, and this arrogance shocked the people of the entire Gansu region. Everyone was terrified, everyone was uneasy, and a fate about to be enslaved by the Huns came to their hearts.

Later, Wang Mang personally took command and led an army of six or seven hundred thousand to the north to fight against the Xiongnu, reversing the disadvantage in one fell swoop, defeating the Xiongnu army and preserving the stability of Gansu.

This kind of world-class contribution makes all the people in Gansu admire and admire from the bottom of their hearts, like life-saving benefactors. Therefore, Wang Mang's status in the hearts of the people in Gansu is more than the Son of Heaven.

Now Wang Mang was assassinated by the master of the anti-thief Ji family as soon as he arrived in Dingxi Pass, and this incident was like a fuse, which suddenly aroused the anger of the people in Dingxi Pass, making everyone angry.

Therefore, for Zhang Sheng to be ordered to investigate and look for assassins, the people obeyed completely and unconditionally, were very cooperative, and answered all questions. I want to find the assassin as soon as possible.

They all felt that if Wang Mang was gone, then their good days would probably come to an end, and the previous oppression by corrupt officials and corrupt officials would come back. Therefore, they don't want to see Wang Mang lose, and they are afraid that Wang Mang will lose.

Under the guidance of this emotion, Zhang Sheng led a large number of people to interrogate door to door, and almost none of the people were angry. Even the guests of those entertainment venues, inns, teahouses, etc., were not surprised and were not affected. I don't think these soldiers disturb my pastime. They all believe that it is necessary to take strict precautions, strictly investigate, and not let go of a single loophole.

As for those arrogant young people, although they were a little dissatisfied, under the reprimand of their elders, they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only cooperate obediently.

In this way, a vigorous operation to find the anti-thief assassin completely kicked off in Dingxi Pass.

The Lord of the Wind Sword, after he escaped after his failed assassination that day, was terrified and panicked.

He hurriedly returned to Yichun Courtyard, told the proprietress Su Rong some information, and then completely hid it. gave up Ji Yun's request to assassinate Wang Mang, canceled the operation, and did not plan to trouble Wang Mang again.

As for the proprietress Su Rong, after Feng failed to assassinate Wang Mang, Feng once strongly asked Su Rong to leave Gansu to avoid danger. But she resolutely refused. She was very calm, fully cooperated with Zhang Sheng's investigation, cut off all contact with the Ji family, and acted as if nothing had happened.

And the assassin she sent out at that time was not her person in Gansu, and the order to assassinate Wang Mang was not her original intention, but someone else, she was just a middleman, making a transition.

She expected that she had no flaws in Gansu at all, and she was doing business honestly, and Wang Mang would not find her head for no reason.

On the twenty-third day, Wang Mang's encounter with the assassination was a little less popular. But Zhang Sheng still did not relax his vigilance, and still searched for it with high intensity.

And those little guys in Yuelai Inn, they are also honest and do their duty, and they don't have any deviant behavior.

In these more than 20 days, Zhang Sheng and Li Ming found nothing, and they did not find anything useful, as if the Ji family and horses in Dingxi Pass had all left Dingxi Pass.

After such a long period of recuperation, Shangguan Ningxuan finally fully recovered and returned to her peak state.

On this day, after Zhang Sheng arranged the investigation tasks of the soldiers under his command, he himself led some soldiers to investigate in the city as usual.

After a round of investigation, he came to Yichun Courtyard again.

The maids who welcomed the guests standing at the gate of Yichun Courtyard did not stop them, and they were very cooperative, allowing Zhang Sheng to lead people inside.

As soon as Zhang Sheng and the others entered, many guests in the hall on the first floor opened their mouths to ask, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

And coincidentally, the proprietress Su Rong happened to be on the first floor.

She saw Zhang Sheng leading people in, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, this is the eighteenth time you have come to me this time, right?" However, in order to find the Assassin as soon as possible, I will have to fully cooperate with your investigation. I don't know about the assassins, have you found some clues? ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet, those bastards are too cunning, and there is no trace." But Boss Su, Lord Wang came to you to listen to the music that day, and then he was assassinated by assassins. Therefore, it is normal for me to come to you a few times to inquire about the situation. ”

Su Rong said: "It's indeed normal for you to ask more about the situation, General Zhang, who are you going to interrogate this time?" Or Qingyue, who was in charge of playing the piano for Lord Wang at the time? I'm going to call her over. Also, General, you haven't found a single clue after searching for so long, could it be that all the assassins have run away? ”

"Probably not, Lord Wang said that this group of assassins is very arrogant and will not all leave. The great thing is that he left part of it, and the remaining part must still be hidden in the Dingxi Pass plot. Zhang Sheng looked around, "Boss Su, I won't ask those people this time, I'll just take a look." ”

"Just take a look? Okay, please take care of yourself, I won't lead the way, you need to avoid suspicion. Of course, if the general asks me something, I'm always there. At the same time, I also hope that the general will be a little considerate of my little shop when he looks at it, so as not to disturb the guests, after all, these customers are my God of Wealth, not to mention that some of them are still spending the night with my girls. ”

"You can rest assured that General Ben will not let your guests have any dissatisfaction."

Zhang Sheng said to the soldiers he brought: "You people are divided into four groups, one group will patrol on the first floor, the second group will go upstairs, the third group will go to the backyard, and the fourth group will go to the kitchen and other places. You must give me a detailed examination to see if there is anything suspicious. Also, don't be too rude when asking, and explain the situation to those people. ”

"Yes, General!" The soldiers quickly divided into four groups, and according to Zhang Sheng's words, they divided their labor to find and inquire.

After Zhang Sheng arranged the task, he also looked around on the first floor and asked about some guests.

These guests are very thoughtful in answering questions and cooperating.

Zhang Sheng led people to find and interrogate here, Wang Mang is also preparing some matters at the moment, and plans to personally take action in the past two days, using the divine power of the Fengtian Sword to secretly investigate the Ji family.

"Ning Xuan, Jingyan, we stayed at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for more than 20 days. This person is bored too, let's go out for a walk and move. ”

Wang Jingyan asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Let's go to Yichun Temple!"

"Yishunin?" Wang Jingyan pouted and said, "What are you doing there?" That place is not good, and you should go less, lest it become bad. ”
