Song Lian didn't want to throw the pot to Zhou Zhen, he just had a temper outburst, and it would be fine after scolding, and besides, this kind of thing can't get rid of the pot, the shadow is a whole, one is prosperous, and one is lost, so what we need to do now is not to investigate the person responsible for the incident, but to think about how to survive this crisis.

Now, the Chu family and the shadow are facing a crisis at the same time, Li Da is dead, Li Da's family is also dead, and there is no way to prove the innocence of the Chu family without proof, however, the crisis of the Chu family is relatively small, after all, although the Chu family cannot prove their innocence, no one can prove that the Chu family is really guilty.

On the contrary, the crisis of the shadow is even greater, if this matter cannot be investigated, there may be no shadow in the future.

First of all, near the capital, the crown prince was assassinated, which is that the shadow did not do his job well, and the emperor was already dissatisfied with it, and then the entire family of the officials of the court was killed, and the suspect was killed in the prison cell of the shadow......

In this case, the shadow can't find out the truth, such a shadow, for the emperor, is there still a necessity to exist?

Therefore, in fact, before losing his temper, Song Lian had already carried out a series of operational commands, and now, he was just relaxing.

After losing his temper, Song Lian handed over the task of tracking down the murderer to Zhou Zhen, and Zhou Zhen continued to go back to handle the case after listening to the reprimand, in fact, the reason why he came back, in addition to reporting the situation to Song Lian, was also to apply for permission, with his position of a hundred horsemen, he had no right to let the city defense martial law, and he was informed before, but it was just to let the city defense people sell face, and now it is to go through the formal procedures, and the city defense army can justifiably carry out access control.

And as long as the organization or individual who kills people does not leave the capital, Zhou Zhen believes that the Shadow Guard can find out the murderer, after all, although the capital is large, it is also the core of the entire dynasty, so almost the entire capital is under the control of the Shadow Net, well, this net occasionally has a little loophole......

Zhou Zhen led his hundreds of horsemen to turn the capital upside down, except for the imperial city, Zhou Zhen swept all the places one by one, in addition, the shadow in the homes of various noble eunuchs also has dark lines, but there are no clues.

Could it be that the murderer has already left the city? Otherwise, with the ability of the Shadow Guard, it is impossible for an organization to hide in the capital if he has made up his mind, Zhou Zhen turned the direction in time and rushed to the city gate, asking the city defense officer if there was any suspicious person out of the city.

"Brother Zhou, don't believe us, you have sent someone to come, we will definitely be more careful, if there is a suspicious person, naturally he will not be allowed to go out of the city."

The relationship between Ye Li, the main general of the city defense, and Zhou Zhen was not bad, and when he saw Zhou Zhen questioning, he was not annoyed, but patiently explained. Hearing him say this, Zhou Zhen had no choice but to hope that the murderer did not leave the city, and it might be useful to strengthen the search. But Zhou Zhen also knows that this kind of hope is also very slim, and it is just a helpless choice in desperation.

However, before Zhou Zhen turned around and left the city gate, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Has anyone ever led the crowd out of the city today?" ”

Zhou Zhen suddenly thought that if an organization had to evacuate, it would be easier to have an accident if it was broken into pieces, and Zhou Zhen also believed that there must be a patron of this criminal organization in the capital, so if that patron came forward, the city defense army would not dare to intercept the dignitaries and nobles without a clear order to block the city gate.

"Before you sent someone, only Lord Yushi went out of the city with more than a dozen retinues."

Ye Li didn't know why Zhou Zhen asked this, but he still answered quickly, and was about to ask why, but he only heard Zhou Zhen shouting, and he took dozens of shadow guards out of the city.

The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and Zhou Zhen's mood became even more anxious, leaving only a few people to stay in the city, and hurriedly chased after the outside of the city.

If Lord Wang was really the protector of the assassin who assassinated the crown prince, then after being out of the city for so long, I am afraid that what should have been done would have been done a long time ago. Zhou Zhen's aimless pursuit is just a gamble of luck.

However, after leaving the city, they didn't chase far on the main road, Zhou Zhen and others saw a gorgeous carriage approaching, and heard someone calling from a distance: "Help!" Kill! ”

It was the carriage driver who called, and as soon as Zhou Zhen raised his right hand, all the shadow guards reined in their horses, grabbing the hilt of their knives, and they were already in full battle. When the carriage was near, Zhou Zhen and the others saw that the carriage was stained with a lot of bright red, and when the coachman saw everyone, he jumped off the carriage and ran over, but he was afraid of the blade of the Shadow Guard, stopped outside the zhangxu, and cried: "Help! Killed! ”

Zhou Zhen said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

"Old man Yu Shi Dafu Wang Su, thank you for the general's life-saving grace."

It was not the coachman who answered, but the person who walked out of the carriage, Zhou Zhen bent down and gave a salute, and his heart sank to the bottom. This Wang Su's bearing made Zhou Zhen unable to make a judgment, but there were many doubts in this matter, for example, what was Wang Su going to do when he went out this day, and if there was really an assassin, an ordinary coachman, driving a carriage, could escape the pursuit of the assassin?

This Wang Su is too indifferent to people!

Although he already had doubts about Wang Su in his heart, Zhou Zhen couldn't show any disrespect to this imperial historian, this Wang was not only the head of all imperial histories, but also one of the nine elders of the imperial cabinet, such a high power, Zhou Zhen could not afford to provoke him.

Let the two shadow guards escort Wang Su back to the city, Zhou Zhen led people to let the coachman show the way, and arrived at the place where Wang Su was assassinated before.

Zhou Zhen was very aggrieved in his heart, obviously he had planned to pursue him before, but now he really found it, but there was only a corpse left, and it was already too late.

It's obvious that the murder is extinguished, otherwise, how can you explain that the blood is splashed on the car, but Lord Wang is safe and sound?

However, even if it is blatant, the evidence has been annihilated, the so-called assassin has disappeared, and everything is up to Wang Su.

After asking someone to restrain the corpse, Zhou Zhen returned to the Shadow Guard with a calm face, the mission failed, and Zhou Zhen didn't know how to explain to Song Lian.

At the door of the guardhouse, Zhou Zhen was stopped by Xingyi.

"The lord has finally returned, and his subordinates have found out the ownership of the mansion."

"Oh, who owns it?"

Zhou Zhen was already a little discouraged, so he was a little weak when he asked.

"Lord Hui, that mansion used to be the mansion of the Wang family, and then it was sold to a merchant named Tiemu, and now, Tiemu and his caravan are nowhere to be found."

Listening to Xingyi's report, Zhou Zhen's eyes finally sharpened......
