Chapter 606: Cleaning
The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, the three yamen pestles related to law enforcement are near the Taiping Gate, giving this city gate named Taiping a bit of a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. Especially since the advent of Wupinlu, which firmly controls the martial artists of the world, the chief arrest department of the criminal department does not know how many martial artists have been imprisoned, and it is said that there are dozens of martial artists of all colors who die every year.
Even since the fall of Shangshu and Shilang of the Criminal Department eight years ago, the authority of the General Arrest Department of the Criminal Department has been reduced, and there are martial arts celebrities such as Du Bailou joining them, many martial artists who have just arrived in Jinling will still avoid the Taiping Gate, avoid the Yamen of the Criminal Department in the Taiping Gate, and those black-clothed arresters who enter and leave this Yamen.
And before the end of the year, there were even fewer people in and out of the Taiping Gate. In the past, the three law divisions and yamen, except for the few officials who stayed behind, the rest of the men even took turns to take vacations. Therefore, the special door of the General Arrest Department of the Criminal Department was completely open, and a group of brightly dressed people were surrounded inside, but they did not attract much attention.
Du Bailou, who came out in person, saw Chen Wuliang's face was cold and solemn, his face was like the bottom of a pot, Yue Qianqiu and the little fat man were angry, and he recognized the soulless and depressed prince Li Chongming of Jiawang surrounded by the guards and entourage, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Qianqian, who had just come out of the carriage after entering the General Capture Division, but saw that his slight face was fine, but the eyes that responded to his gaze were a little helpless.
Soon, he realized that something very wrong was something else. After the second-class catchers at the end dismounted, a man who was tied like a rice dumpling was dragged down, and when he saw the color of the clothes, he chuckled in his heart, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Go in and say."
Yan Xu knew that it would be useless to lose his temper with Du Bailou, so he strode up and dragged people inside. He took the lead, seeing that the little fat man and Li Chongming had already been surrounded by the guards and walked inside, Du Bailou also hurriedly turned around to follow, and Chen Wuliang signaled to escort Cheng Qianqian and the assassin in.
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was still standing still, obviously waiting for him to speak, Chen Wuliang coughed lightly at the others.
"It's better not to spread the word about today's events. Otherwise, I am afraid that the consequences of going back and leaking secrets will fall on you. I hope you all keep it in mind and don't make mistakes! After saying this, seeing that everyone was busy agreeing and then dispersed, he looked at Yue Qianqiu and said, "Ninth Prince, let's go in together?" ”
"Hmm." Yue Qianqiu lazily agreed, his eyes swept over those who left, and saw that everyone looked silent, and he couldn't tell if he would disobey the yang or the yin, or he was resentful, so he and Chen Wuliang entered side by side.
It's not the first time that Yue Qianqiu has come to the Chief Arrest Division of the Criminal Department, but he has never liked this place full of yin and evil energy. As he went deeper, there were fewer and fewer people, and when he entered an inconspicuous black lacquer door, he inadvertently looked up, and when he found that on the top of the three rooms facing this door, there was a person sitting quietly on the eaves, and the black clothes were almost integrated with the black tiles, so he didn't even notice it before.
Startled, he blurted out, "Uncle Shadow? ”
Yue Ying bowed slightly, but did not come down. And Chen Wuliang also bowed to Yue Ying, and then stopped and turned his head sideways to Yue Qianqiu and said, "When you get here, Jiu Gongzi doesn't have to worry about idlers and other eavesdropping." I know you have a stomach full of questions, and the biggest one of them is better not to ask, because I can't answer you definitively, and I don't know myself. ”
Such a vague answer, Yue Qianqiu listened to it openly, and naturally he would not get to the bottom of it. After all, is the emperor still suspicious of the little fat man, so he is willing to throw the little fat man out as bait, this kind of thing is better not to ask.
He just snapped his fingers and said, "Gonggong Chen, what I want to ask is very simple, I was poisoned once in the Jin Palace, and I was stabbed once by a pedestrian while walking at night." Ying Xiaopang was also assassinated once in the Jin Palace, and the eldest princess also had an assassin. Plus today, Gonggong Chen, don't you think Jinling City has been a little too chaotic recently? If you add the tragedy of the Cheng family in Yangzhou......"
Although Yue Qianqiu stopped after a long note and never said any more, Chen Wuliang still knew what he meant. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu glanced up at Yue Ying, as if he was also waiting for that person's answer, he muttered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "These days, the eldest princess, me and Mr. Ying Du Bailou, plus the corresponding heads have touched, there are indeed some guesses. ”
"What speculation?" Yue Qianqiu used to be the most unwilling to suffer, but since Beiyan returned, he felt that he was simply aggrieved. Although it was to put aside disgusting people like Pei Xu and Zhong Liang for the time being, but a nasty woman like Xiao Qingqing slipped out of his fingers again, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.
"Either someone jumped off the wall in a hurry, or it was ......" Chen Wuliang seemed to think about what words could more accurately describe the current situation, and finally smiled bitterly, "It's just that someone is cleaning." Don't you think that this one person seems to be almost about to do something earth-shattering, but in the end it is all abrupt and futile? You must know that the clues in every place point to the Northern Yan Autumn Hunting Division. ”
When Yue Qianqiu heard about some of Xiao Qingqing's deeds before, he had complained in his heart that he was simply an internationalist warrior who did the cleaning work for Dawu, and when he heard Chen Wuliang mention the cleaning and autumn hunting division, he couldn't help but sigh.
If the person who came out was really the Northern Yan Qiu Hunting Division...... Then the three words of the Autumn Hunting Division are really golden! As for the cleaning, it may have turned out to be so, but the process was so thrilling!
He didn't ask any more, made a gesture of invitation to Chen Wuliang, and saw that no one pushed back again, and went directly into the house happily. Yue Qianqiu ran to the bottom of the eaves one by one, borrowed strength along the pillars, and then grabbed Yue Ying and stretched out his hand to pull his hand, and scurried up to the roof steadily.
He didn't beat around the bush either, and asked bluntly, "Uncle Shadow, did you actually find out about the assassin before?" ”
Of course, Yue Ying knew which one Yue Qianqiu was referring to, and said lightly: "That night, you and Ji Yue left people there, but when he finally died, no one came to collect the body. I waited patiently until dawn. As a result, the husband who first found him did not shout, ran back to call his companion, and sent him directly to the transformation field, and the dead man became a pile of ashes in an hour. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "I continued to probe down the vine and melon, and took out a string of spies of the Akikashi Division, slaughtered about five, and captured three alive. By the way, there are actually two spies in that gang. ”
Yue Qianqiu thought that when Yan Xu first came out of Beijing, he cleaned up a group of spies from the Autumn Hunting Division, he took a breath lightly, and said in a strange tone: "How do I feel that Lou Yingchang used to lurk in my dynasty in the past few years, and the team that worked hard to manage it is now like shaving wool, and all the stubble has been shaved cleanly?" ”
Yue Ying suddenly smiled, this rare smile made his whole person's cold aura melt a little. But the smile came and went faster, and the beard disappeared in a moment.
"You can say the same thing." He readily admitted Yue Qianqiu's guess, then looked at the young man he was looking at growing up, and asked thoughtfully, "Look at you like that, you seem to have encountered something on the road today?" ”
"It's not a bad situation, Uncle Shadow, I almost died!"
In front of Yue Ying, Yue Qianqiu didn't care about any demeanor at all, and showed an angry expression: "Did you see the assassin Uncle Ying who just brought it in?" People have long been mixed with the people of the General Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, and they are ten arrows in one breath! If it weren't for my quick response, Snow White's ability, and Master's riding of a peerless horse, catching up and helping a lot, Ying Xiaopang and I would have died! ”
Yue Ying keenly noticed that Yue Qianqiu was talking about "me and Ying Xiaopang", and he frowned and asked, "Are you sure that the assassin's target is you and Ying Wang, not any of the two of you alone?" ”
"It's definitely the two of us, not just for Ying Xiaopang. At that time, arrows and arrows were deadly, and if it weren't for the fact that Snow White and I were already one and the same heart, at least two arrows would be difficult to dodge, and I would never be mistaken. ”
Yue Ying said thoughtfully: "Among the people brought by Gonggong Chen before, he himself brought a treasure bow just in case, and the only one with a bow and arrow was Hu Tielin, a second-class head catcher. He was once famous in Wulin with a series of arrows in one hand, and he was one of the masters recruited into the General Arrest Division when Wu Renyuan was the secretary of the Criminal Department ten years ago, and it was because of this that he was never promoted. He originally learned art under the Qingcheng Gate, but because he couldn't learn swords, he coincidentally learned a bow technique with an alien. ”
Although he is not a person in the Criminal Department, when Yue Ying talked to Yue Qianqiu about the assassin Hu Tielin's resume, he was so meticulous and knowledgeable that Yue Qianqiu even had an illusion about it, as if the talent was the invisible boss of the Chief Arrest Division.
Because he was not obedient to Wu Renyuan, and his subordinates did not commit murder, so after the Criminal Department was replaced, he was still retained. As for the Qingcheng faction, at first he didn't expel him for fear of offending Wu Renyuan, but later Wu Renyuan fell and he stayed in the General Arrest Division, so he didn't have much trouble. But overall, his relationship with Qingcheng has long fallen to the freezing point. ”
When Yue Qianqiu heard the word Qingcheng, his heart jumped, and although he was a little relieved when he heard the end, he couldn't help but ask another question that was not very related to this: "Uncle Ying, Zhen Rong, are you sure that grandpa didn't know about it before?" You and those old bullnoses in Qingcheng really didn't have a past before? ”
Regarding Yue Qianqiu's question, Yue Ying didn't seem to hear it, and replied, "Your master has come to call you." ”
Seeing that Yue Ying diverted the topic so clumsily, Yue Qianqiu suddenly became angry. But immediately after, he heard Yan Xu's loud voice: "Qianqiu, what are you waiting for?" The assassin is being interrogated, and it's waiting for you! ”
Although his heart was full of doubts, Yue Qianqiu knew that he couldn't pry open Yue Ying's titanium alloy sealed mouth, so he could only jump forward and fall off the roof. When a twist landed, he looked up again.
I saw a trace of surprise on Yue Ying's face. Although he had seen people smile occasionally, this negative emotion was the first time he had seen it, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
But he didn't have time to look at it at all, so he was pulled in by Yan Xu. When he entered the room, he saw Li Chongming sitting on a chaise longue a little at a loss, the little fat man standing on the other side with a tiger face, and Du Bailou and Chen Wuliang squatting in front of Hu Tielin, who was dressed in black, seemed to be messing with something, so he couldn't help but glance at the lonely Cheng Qianqian.
Thinking that he was not talking to Yue Ying in a loud voice just now, but it was only through a layer of tiles, he just thought that everyone present heard that conversation, so he simply walked directly to the little fat man: "What's the situation?" ”
The little fat man was tyrannical when he was a child, and now he has been much more restrained over the years, but the scene just now still makes his scalp numb. At this moment, he glanced at Yue Qianqiu with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Chen just directly pulled out his teeth one by one......"
Yue Qianqiu suddenly felt a toothache. You know, this is the modern society, the dentist is also the doctor who makes patients fear the most, there is hardly one of them. He had a diligent tooth extracted, and he never wanted to experience that pain for the second time in his life! He took a deep breath, and his voice was unconsciously lowered, as if he was afraid of alarming Chen Wuliang's teeth.
"Is he silent about such painful things? Why didn't I hear it on the rooftop? ”
"It's weird that you can hear it!" The little fat man gave Yue Qianqiu a look of contempt, "First, there was anesthetic on the arrow that Gonggong Chen shot him before, and secondly, Du Bailou stuffed a soft ball in his mouth, and he could use a tool to pull out his teeth, but he couldn't make any sound." ”
Speaking of this, the little fat man himself couldn't help but shudder, thinking that when he changed his teeth back then, if he had seen Chen Wuliang's terrifying methods, he didn't know if he would have a nightmare of tooth extraction every night!
Compared with the little fat man and Yue Qianqiu, who were a little frightened at this time, because they were victims who escaped death, they were naturally quite a bit of a little bit of a front, and they were so frightened that they sat down because they saw the bloody scene of tooth extraction, so Li Chongming, who was carried to this chaise longue by Yan Xu, was obviously much more frightened.
He had seen the whipping of the rod, but this was the first time he had experienced such an unbelievable method.
At this moment, his vest was cold and wet, and he repeatedly thought about the scene that he had not reacted to before, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yue Qianqiu and the little fat man. Seeing that the two of them looked disgusted with each other at the moment, thinking of Yue Qianqiu's almost unthinking grasp before, he knew that he could already throw away the last trace of luck.
Yue Qianqiu and King Li Yiming...... Never a sworn enemy! Li Yiming, the only prince, was supposed to be a lonely prince, but he was able to have a friend! If he wasn't a real friend, how could Yue Qianqiu save people in such a dangerous situation!
Just when Li Chongming clenched his fists fiercely and forced himself not to pay attention to the whimper of the assassin on the ground, he finally heard Chen Wuliang's voice that others would never admit to mistake: "Okay, he doesn't have a tooth anymore, he doesn't want to bite his tongue anymore, the poison sac has been completely removed, take out the small wooden ball in his mouth, and now the numbing strength of my arrow is almost over, and it can be tried." ”
