It was nearly dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the city of Zuo Sijiu a golden red.

Seeing that the curfew was about to fall, the footsteps of the pedestrians on the street suddenly became hurried, and the vendors quickly put away the various stalls placed on the roadside, preparing to go back.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Herod suddenly heard a few neighing horses at the end of the long street, and then the eagerness of the horses' hooves hitting the bluestone pavement came from the front, which made many people stop and turn to look over there in some surprise.

Although there are many powerful and high-ranking officials in the capital, those who dare to gallop are really limited. Because if you make some trouble, not everyone can handle it. However, after seeing that group of knights was dressed, all the people were relieved, and they dodged to the side, making way for others. Because this line of knights is a brocade guard, this is not something that ordinary people can provoke.

But the accident happened when the dozen or so horsemen and horses rushed to the front, and somehow suddenly one of the merchants was mixing garlic at his feet, and the man stumbled forward with his cart, and by this time, the knight who had rushed to the front had already come to him.

The people who saw this scene suddenly screamed in shock, and they all felt that this unlucky merchant had to be hit by a fast horse, and even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. Because the distance between the two was only three or four feet, the knight had no time to steer his horse. And with Jinyiwei's domineering energy, even if he kills someone, he will not bear any responsibility, and this person can only consider himself unlucky when he dies.

But then, the exclamations of the people turned into an exclamation, for when the horse's head was about to touch the merchant, the knight suddenly shook the reins, and then slammed the horse's belly, and in the midst of a low shout, the horse under his crotch suddenly jumped high, and jumped directly over the head of the other man, without hurting him in the slightest.

The brocade-clad guards behind him had plenty of room to turn and avoid, and in a burst of shouting, they all passed the frightened merchant who had fallen to the ground, and walked away, but it did not make it difficult for him. It wasn't until the group was far away that everyone recovered from the shock, and hurriedly ran forward to help the man up, and at the same time checked his body with concern, only to find that he was unscathed except for some fright.

The team of brocade guards naturally didn't care about what was behind them, and the speed of galloping forward did not slow down, so they went straight out along the long street, and after passing a few more streets, they finally rushed to the mouth of the alley where the Zhenfu Division's yamen was located, so that everyone pulled the reins violently and controlled the horses to stop.

After seeing the leader clearly, the several brocade-clothed lieutenants guarding the gate looked worried, and they hurriedly greeted them: "Your Excellency, you can be regarded as back." ”

This one who rushed back to the capital with more than a dozen Jinyi guards was Yang Zhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was only under Lu Jin.

Before, because he wanted to sweep away the remnants of the White Lotus Sect outside the capital, he was ordered to take people on an errand, but he received a message from the flying pigeon early this morning, knowing that Lu Zhen was in a situation, so he dropped the errand at hand and rushed back to the capital as quickly as possible.

As the old man of Jinyiwei, Yang Zhen's status in the minds of these captains is quite high, and he is even in the command of Lu Jin. Now that such an accident has happened, the people who were originally panicked are like having a backbone when they see him returning, but they are much more relieved.

Yang Zhen only nodded slightly at these people, and then handed over the reins to them, and he himself

Strode inside, and quickly walked in the direction of the festival hall where things were discussed on weekdays. He knew that there must be a lot of brothers there now getting together to discuss countermeasures.

Sure enough, before the others arrived in front of the festival hall, they heard a quarrel from there, and the one with the loud voice shouted: "It's a big deal, let's go directly to the criminal department and snatch the governor out!" Otherwise, if you really let those guys in the Criminal Department do it to the governor, it will be too late. ”

These words immediately won the approval of many people, and in a chorus, it seemed that someone was about to come out of it. And Yang Zhen happened to be head-on, and bumped into those red-faced and angry guys.

As soon as they saw Yang Zhen suddenly appear, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and then shouted at him: "Yang Yanshi, you can be regarded as back." The brethren are worried that there is no one to preside over the overall situation......"

"What are you going to do?" Yang Zhen swept his eyes at them, and immediately frightened their faces, and the steps that were about to go out also stopped. However, someone still replied: "Didn't we want to go to the Criminal Department to rescue Lu Dudu?" ”

"I think you're trying to kill Lu Dudu, right?" Yang Zhen snorted: "The prison of the Criminal Department is not something you can go to if you want to, and you can save whoever you want." Have you ever seen an official who dared to run to my town to save people in prison? ”

These few words immediately frightened everyone, only Xue Xing, who initiated this move, was still a little unconvinced: "Yang Yanshi, you don't know Lu Dudu's current situation, and the Criminal Department has already said that he is going to be convicted." Even if we don't try to save him, once the crime is confirmed, he will be in danger. ”

Yang Zhen's brows furrowed slightly: "So fast? "The governor was taken away by the people of the Criminal Department in the morning, why is it that the crime has been decided before it gets dark this day?

"Who knows what those guys in the Criminal Department are doing...... If you want me to say, they must have deliberately wronged the governor this time because of the previous sake. The governor is also really, knowing that the Criminal Department has always been against us, so he shouldn't let them take him away. Xue Xing said with some concern: "Yang Yanshi, you said that at this time, can we not save the governor?" ”

"In any case, this idea of yours is a good idea, and I will never allow you to do such nonsense." Yang Zhen said, he had already passed through the crowd, walked to the front, and only said after standing still: "Since the governor ordered you to call me from outside before he was taken away, it means that he asked me to preside over the situation in the pacification department, and how to save the governor is naturally up to me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around them did not dare to object, although their faces changed slightly. Because this is a logical thing, not to mention that Lu Zhen did have such an order when he went, even if he didn't, now that the commander is not there, this calming division will naturally have to be ordered by him, the commander.

Seeing that everyone had been suppressed for the time being, Yang Zhen eased his tone: "And your reckless actions will not only not save the governor, but will bring him more trouble." Now that the officials and people of Manjing are staring at this matter, even His Majesty is also waiting for the result of this matter, can we Jinyiwei still break into the prison to save people regardless of the king's law? Therefore, the governor really wanted to save him, but he had to think of a more appropriate way to come out. ”

"What Yang said is that I was in a hurry and was a little reckless." Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they all clenched their fists to admit their mistakes, and Xue Xing also lowered his head.

But then, someone said uneasily, "But me."

But how can we save the Governor? Now that the case of fraud in the imperial examination has almost been settled, Yao Gan and they were taken down on the spot, and Wei Chengmo also turned back, insisting that it was Du Du who instructed him to do this......"

Yang Zhen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then waved his hand to interrupt: "I was outside Beijing before, and I have limited knowledge of this matter, so you tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and then think about it in the long run, and see where to start." ”

Only then did everyone talk in detail about the cause and effect of the matter, from the discovery that someone was peddling exam questions to the candidates, to the point that Lu Zhen was convicted in the Criminal Department and sent to prison.

Thanks to Jin Yiwei's ears and eyes are dexterous enough, ordinary people really can't inquire about the interrogation of Lu Zhen in the court of the Criminal Department not long ago. And after listening to this story, Yang Zhen's face became more and more solemn: "In this way, this incident should be that someone is calculating the governor, this is completely a conspiracy against our Jinyiwei?" ”

"That's how it should be. What is annoying is that until now, we have not had a clue, and even the guy named Zhou Lu has long since disappeared. And what's even more troublesome is that I heard that there is a Suzhou Juzi named Lu Tong among the candidates this time, and they recognized him as the son and nephew of the governor, so even the motive ......"

Yang Zhen nodded, and made a deep groan: "This Lu Tong is indeed a problem, we must find him as soon as possible and hold him in our hands, so that the Criminal Department will naturally have fewer personal witnesses." And the real breakthrough in this matter should also fall on the person named Zhou Lu. This case was started by him, and this person must have played an extremely important role in it. ”

"We know he's important, but ...... It's been a few days, and the brothers have almost searched the whole city of Beijing, but they haven't been able to find his whereabouts. Not to mention people, even his body has not been found. Xue Xing couldn't help but complain.

"You've searched the whole city?" Yang Zhen asked with some disbelieving.

"Yes, but wherever people can be hidden, such as the brothels of Qinglou, as well as those inns and inns of all sizes, and even some abandoned courtyards, we have sent people to investigate. Now the thousand households of Qinggel are still searching all over the city with their brothers, and they still haven't gained anything......"

"In other words, you are just looking for him according to the method of finding ordinary thieves, which naturally means that you can't find anyone."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand? Since this matter was laid out early in the morning, would such an important person leave it out? He must have figured out where to hide long before he deliberately caught our attention, so when he disappeared, we couldn't find him. ”

"And where can he hide?"

"The person who can set up this situation must be an official in the capital, so the other person must be in the mansion or other courtyard of a certain official. If you want to find him, you have to start from here, especially the officials who are still involved in this case, such as those in the Criminal Department, and those chief and deputy examiners in the examination room! Yang Zhen quickly gave his opinion.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and everyone slapped their thighs suddenly: "What Yang said is that we patronized and looked for it outside, and completely ignored this point." ”

"Then hurry up and send a message to the eyeliner of the mansions, and ask them to report the suspicious people who have appeared around them in the past few days as soon as possible. If what I expected, this guy named Zhou Lu must be in it! Yang Zhen seemed to be very confident in giving the order.
