February 17, the end of the hour.

In a bustling street outside the Sanshan Gate, a brocade guard Xiaoqi walked and stopped, sometimes speeding up in small steps, sometimes flashing to a certain stall, his face was nervous and pale, and he looked like a thief who was a traitor.

This small flag is following a middle-aged man, the man didn't pay attention to someone watching, leisurely strolling on the street, sometimes looking at a small stall to inquire about a price, sometimes buying a little freshly cooked snacks from a hawker, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is an ordinary middle-aged uncle shopping.

But Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi knew that what he was staring at in front of him was exactly what he was ordered to look for, Guo Huan, the deputy envoy of Shandong who disappeared mysteriously yesterday.

Xiaoqi only knew that Guo Huan's house was attacked by displaced people, but Guo Huan's body was not found in the house.

Early this morning, the temporary acting commander Tanaka Tong ordered that if you want to see people alive and die and see corpses, you must find Guo Huan, and anyone who can find and hold Guo Huan before reinforcements arrive, will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and if he can be captured and brought to justice, he will be rewarded with 2,000 silver, and if he is killed on the spot, he will also be rewarded with 1,000 silver.

This Xiaoqi also doesn't understand, on the surface of the case, Guo Huan is obviously a victim, his house was ransacked by homeless people, but now he has become a wanted criminal, and he wants to arrest and even kill the victim.

His rank was too low, and there were some things he couldn't understand, just as he didn't understand why there had been so many strange things in Beijing recently. He also didn't understand why so many things had happened one after another this year, and he didn't understand why the displaced people, who had been honest in previous years, suddenly made a mess this year, and he didn't understand why the refugees from above didn't just pull out the Fa-rectification.

Of course, he didn't understand what Guo Huan used to kill himself, when he reacted, Guo Huan, who had been following him, magically appeared in front of him, a thin bamboo stick silently pierced his heart, his heart stopped beating suddenly, and he didn't even have time to let out a moan, and left the world.

Guo Huan's choice of starting place is very ingenious, this place happens to be the concave corner where the two walls of the street corner meet, after Guo Huan casually held the arms of the small flag with both hands, and went to the corner, the small flag seemed to become a drunk leaning on the corner. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and no one paid attention to the painful look on Xiao Qi's face and his bloodshot bulging eyes.

Not long after Guo Huan quietly left, a team of officers and soldiers from the Soldiers and Horses Division walked over from the other side of the street, and a leading general flag in front shouted loudly: "Collect it earlier, collect it early, start a curfew in advance from tonight, and those who dare to disobey will be severely punished." ”

The old man who came out of the stall on the street reluctantly put away his things: "Wife, take it, it's curfew again, the beggars killed these days, I closed the stall in advance." ”

My wife also began to clean up, "There is always an accident, and the curfew is fine"

The old couple packed up their things and pushed the cart back, and the old lady inadvertently glanced at the person on the corner of the street, "Mommy" shouted, almost frightened.

The old man was also frightened, and shouted, "Someone." ”

The people of the Terracotta Division on the corner of the street took the lead in running over, and saw the two old men paralyzed on the ground, and then looked at the corner of the wall, it was clear that a brocade guard died there, and the general flag that took the lead did not dare to slack off.

At this time, there were several yamen in charge of the security of the bandits in Beijing

are all extremely efficient, there is only one reason, a series of changes in Beijing, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, Gong Wei Division, Jinyi Guard, Soldiers and Horses Division, and the prefects of Ying Tianfu were all scolded for a bloody squirt, and strictly ordered to solve the case within seven days, otherwise not only will they be removed from their posts and investigated, but they will also be seriously questioned.

The people of the Terracotta Division and the Jinyi Guard quickly arrived at the scene, questioning, taking notes, collecting evidence, and blocking the scene, and it took a long time for someone to find out, "The people from Ying Tianfu really didn't come." ”

"Those idiots, what are they coming, they themselves are still too busy with a mess, a fire, they burned several by themselves, and the case files and documents were also burned, they are now too busy to take care of themselves, and they are still here, besides, isn't it also a turn when they come, and in the end the case has to fall into our hands?"

"What do you guys say?" At this moment, a calmer patted the speaker on the shoulder from behind.

The person who was photographed was shocked into a cold sweat, quickly turned around, and looked back, it turned out to be the new Beizhen Fusi Zhen Fu Manying, this person has a nickname, full of plague gods, although this Zhenfu has a kind smile on his face, but for some reason, his smile always makes people shudder, and the people who see it will involuntarily panic.

Man Ying looked at the Jinyi guard in front of him with a smile: "What did you just say?" ”

The man was already trembling with fright and sweating coldly, where did he dare to repeat what he had just said, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The lowly one knows that he is wrong, the lowly bastard, you are always gracious, let the little one go." ”

Man Ying was still smiling, and her tone was still so peaceful: "You didn't say the wrong thing just now, the people in Ying Tianfu are indeed stupid, and they are really too busy to take care of themselves, we have to handle this case, you didn't say a wrong word, why are you scared like this?" ”

Although Man Ying said this, the kneeling Jinyi Wei was still nervous, "The lowly duty should not chew his tongue in private, and the lowly duty didn't control his stinky mouth," said it, and he slapped it by himself, and it was a very hard fan, and the fan snapped, and the people on the side felt pain when they heard it.

Man Yingxiao watched this person slap himself, and after slapping a few times, he smiled and waved his hand: "It's almost, it's good to know that it's wrong, it's good to know fear, it's good to know that you are afraid, you have to know a fear, such as you, afraid of me, what about me, afraid of Commander Tian, Commander Tian, naturally afraid of the emperor, this level of fear, this court can have rules, this world can be peaceful." After that, he stepped forward and helped the brocade guard, and asked kindly, "What's your name?" ”

The brocade guard hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The humble position is called He Qun." ”

Man Ying said with a smile: "You came early, what is the situation at the scene, you can tell me." ”

He Qun squinted his eyes and swept the corpse, lest he say the wrong thing, and said word by word: "Judging from the position and posture of the deceased, it is obvious that he was moved to the corner after death. Moreover, his face was frightened, his eyes were dilated, there were no other injuries on his body, and there were no signs of forced twisting of the bones of his arms and legs, which proved that he died suddenly, and that he had seen something very surprising before he died. Judging from the confessions of the surrounding vendors, he did not shout before he died, and he should have been killed quietly, so he concluded that the other party was a master, which can also be confirmed from the angle and strength of the bamboo stick inserted into the heart. ”

Man Ying was quite satisfied with He Qun's analysis: "If there is anything else, say it." ”

He Qun continued: "Just now Lao Sun said that he knew this person, his surname

Zhang, who came here last year, made meritorious service soon after he came, and was promoted to a small flag officer, and his kung fu was good. Being able to kill a guard with good martial arts and alertness is definitely not something that those two old couples can do, this killer should be an experienced veteran, and it is likely to be a suspect who was targeted by Zhang Xiaoqi, and suddenly shot ......"

Man Ying looked at He Qun with satisfaction, the smile on his face retracted, but his tone was more natural: "Your analysis is reasonable, so let's do it, I will raise you to the general flag now, and I will investigate this case specifically." ”

He Qun didn't expect that not only was he not punished, but he was also promoted, and this unexpected joy made him not react for a while, and he forgot to accept it in the same place. Man Ying continued: "But there is a word first, if you handle this case well, I will also promote you to be a hundred households, if you can't handle it, you know what I am doing, don't blame me for being ruthless." Without waiting for He Qun to agree, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

He Qun was still looking at Man Ying's back in a daze, and several brothers on the side came over: "Brother, you kid is lucky to be a shit boy, and you will be promoted to the general flag officer in a few words, you have to treat you tonight." ”

He Qun waved his hand impatiently: "Drink a fart wine, haven't you heard, the case can't be solved, my life is not guaranteed, and also, you kid has some rules, what kind of brother and brother, he will be called He Zongqi in the future." ”

"He Zongqi!" The reprimanded person was a little unconvinced, and screamed with a straight face, then turned his head and muttered: "You just got promoted to a sesame officer, and you won't be able to be a few days." ”

"What are you talking about......" He Qun knew that the other party must not have said good things about himself, so he asked sharply.

The people from Ying Tianfu did not appear at the scene of the crime because they were indeed too busy.

Since there was a fire in the Yamen inexplicably last night, Lu Xiaofeng felt that there was an inexplicable evil fire on his body, and he understood that this was the fire brought to him by a series of strange things recently.

A series of accidents in the capital made him, Ying Tianfu Yin, anxious, and he couldn't sleep every day, for fear that when he woke up the next day, his black gauze hat would be taken off by a holy decree. I don't know what happened to this group of Diao people this year, they dared to do such a big thing in the capital, first a Shandong envoy was killed at home, and then his own yamen actually caught fire for no reason, and then several yamen and the mansions of princes and nobles in Beijing were also shocked by this group of bold Diao people, and these troubled homeless people have not been caught yet.

He felt that his mansion Yin Liunian was unfavorable, and he didn't know which immortal's taboo he had committed, or what evil god he had bumped into, so he deliberately entrusted a lot of favors, spent a lot of money, and invited Yuan Banxian, who had great powers, to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

Just when Man Ying ordered a thorough investigation at the scene, all the officials who were listening to the errand in Ying Tianfu gathered in the main courtyard of the yamen and watched Yuan Banxian's methods to exorcise evil spirits, so they didn't have the time to go out to patrol the streets to investigate the case.

Yuan Banxian held a peachwood sword in his hand, dressed in a heavenly master's robe, and there were more than a dozen talismans and an altar of talismans on the table in front of him. Yuan Banxian has been dancing the sword for a long time, not to mention, the sword technique is still a little light and elegant. After dancing the sword, Yuan Banxian had words in his mouth, the tip of the sword was pointed in the air, and a talisman automatically flew to the tip of the sword, Yuan Banxian pointed at the talisman with his fingertips, and the talisman caught fire, but the miraculous thing, although the fire was very strong, the talisman was not damaged in the slightest, and it was burned for a while, and it was still a complete talisman. The peachwood sword is okay too.
