The Qifeng Mansion is located in the Qisheng Square in the inner city, and it is majestic and magnificent.

In a mansion near the Qifeng Mansion, in the backyard, a cat suddenly arched its back, its hair stood up one by one, waiting for the air in front of it, and saw something weird.

Somewhere in the courtyard, in a half-abandoned pavilion used to push and hold miscellaneous items, there was a box. Suddenly, the box opened quietly, and a boy sat strangely in the box, turned his head, threw himself into the square window of the high pavilion, and looked at the black cat outside, who had already meowed and fled in panic.

The boy thought, sure enough, there is nothing more sensitive to the soul body than a cat.

A quarter of an hour later, the boy walked down the street dressed like a scholar from a rich family, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

On these papers, several methods of assassinating Bao Qing are listed.

Half an hour later, he had come to the edge of Qinghui Lake, those few pieces of paper in his hands, burned into ashes, he shook his hand, the ashes fell on the surface of the lake, piece by piece, by the lake water.

This boy is naturally Ningjiang's "stand-in puppet"!

He is here to kill, and the person he wants to kill is, of course, Bao Qing!

The reasons why he wanted to kill Bao Qing were mainly based on the following points.

First of all, he needs to find someone to try the strength that this "stand-in puppet" can bring to him.

He was under the moon by the lake, with his arms outstretched, as if there was an invisible energy that gathered in his body with the moonlight.

Just like those Miao Wu in Xiling, they don't have any combat power themselves, and in terms of physical toughness, I'm afraid they are inferior to ordinary scholars. They use magic and must use magic weapons...... For him, this stand-in doll is his magic weapon.

The soul itself originally hides a powerful energy, but this energy cannot be used at all without the help of a medium. There are all kinds of hidden forces in heaven and earth, and these powers that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive, collect and use, this is the ability of Wu Zhu.

This stand-in puppet is his magic weapon and his medium.

On the other hand, it is because this Bao Qing, in the lower nine streams of the capital, has a lot of energy, Qin Ze and Qin Kan's development in the capital is slow, of course, because Ningjiang makes them cautious and cautious, as much as possible not to attract attention, but also because of the view of Zhenji...... Even Bao Qing, who was backed by the Quanqing faction, faintly controlled the lower nine streams in the capital.

The Quanqing faction is a famous sect in the Taoist sect, and Zhenjiguan is also a famous Taoist temple, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to collude with those large and small "lower nine streams" in the capital, which will be a kind of damage to their high and reputation, so that they cannot maneuver between the princes and nobles in the capital.

Therefore, Bao Qing, who is the "unfilial son" of Zhenji Guan Zhenheng, is actually the spokesperson of the Quanqing faction buried in the lower nine streams, as long as he is killed, those lower nine streams in the capital will be equivalent to breaking away from the invisible control of the Quanqing faction, so that Qinchuan Wuyi can have a gap to drill.

But this is still not the most important thing, the most important thing is ...... He wants to take it step by step and cause chaos in the entire capital.

The current capital is too calm, so calm that he can't observe the undercurrents in the depths at all, and only by creating chaos will these undercurrents be forced to surface one by one.

Kill Bao Qing...... It's just the first step for him to ignite the fire that swept through Jinghua!

Anyway, in a place like the capital, he is just a barefoot, and he is not afraid of those who wear shoes at all, if the trouble is too messy and too much to clean up, it is a big deal that he will take his sister and Wuyi and leave.

On Qinghui Lake, the Flower Boat Constellation, although it seems a little deserted because it will still try today, it is conceivable that from tomorrow night, all the Fengyue places in the capital will become lively. At this point in time, in various state capitals, large and small, slightly famous flower boats have entered Beijing, and the triennial examination is also a triennial event for these ladies, and every gentle Qinglou woman is ready to comfort the wounded talents with her body.

Although the test is not over, these Fengyue places have not yet reached the most lively time, but in the capital, there are also a lot of gentlemen, businessmen and heroes, although the flower boats from all over the country have entered Beijing, at this moment it is inevitable that there are a little less monks and more porridge, but it is still laughter and laughter, and people come and go.

In the shadows of no one, the "boy" took off his clothes, quietly jumped into the lake, swam to the flower building, and soon, in one of the corners of the flower boat, silently, through a narrow window. This is a green room, he found a girl's dress from the closet, quickly put it on, pulled a simple double bun, lowered his head, and went out of the house.

Qin Chuan Wuyi is good at theft, disguise, assassination and other low-grade methods, which one is the most suitable for infiltrating and how it will not be noticed, all of which are investigated in advance. In addition, Ning Jiang asked them to write down the assassination methods that everyone would use, although what he really planned to use was Qin Xiaoya'er, because in terms of body shape, Qin Xiaoya'er was the closest to him at this moment.

In the flower boat, eleven or twelve-year-old Qingwan is not uncommon, most of them are poor families who were sold into the Qinglou by their parents, like last year, in the southwest area, before the Longyan Lake riots, there were many girls who were sold into the Qinglou, in exchange for just a few steamed buns, or simply sent their children into the Qinglou, just so that she could at least live.

These green silks are the least noticeable in this kind of place. Especially at this moment, the famous prostitutes in Huahaolou are not from the same Qinglou, just like the three famous prostitutes in Yuehu, they used to be in a competitive relationship, but at this moment, they are more sojourners, they are performing and laughing here, and the boss of Huahaolou is pulling behind them, and every famous prostitute often brings a few Qingjuan who serve them with them.

The "boy" at this moment was originally a stand-in puppet, strictly speaking, there is no gender, and no one will pay attention to it if he is dressed as a green silk. He went around to a room where on a large round table lay many discs, on which were jugs and glasses.

He took a plate, turned around, walked through the two corridors, and faced a fat man who hugged left and right, walked over, and he silently stepped aside, leaning his back against the wall. After giving way, continue to walk, there is a ladder in front of you, and several rather ruthless people in the rivers and lakes are guarding there. He lowered his head and held the plate, Shi Shiran walked over, and one of them glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Upstairs, there is a long aisle in front of you, and lanterns hang high on the top of the wall. He flashed into the first room on his right, and there was an unbearable obscenity in the back room, men and women laughing, and the couch swaying. He gently placed the plate on the table, peeked out the window, and in the corridor below, there were guards with knives, watching the lake outside.

High behind the guard, a boy dressed as a green silk stepped on the windowsill flexibly, climbed up, and soon, took the window of the higher floor, and turned over silently.

Diving into the upper floors of the building ship, things were much simpler for Ning Jiang. This is not a place to entertain guests, at this moment, most of these rooms are empty, and according to the exploration of Bao Qing's whereabouts in Wuyi, at this moment, Bao Qing has not yet arrived. He sneaked all kinds of things, came to one of the gorgeous houses, and carefully checked it, after all, this is one of the places where Bao Qing does things, maybe he can find something useful to the Quanqing faction and Zhenjiguan.

I didn't find anything too useful, but I found an account book, which recorded the money transactions between Huahaolou and some officials in the capital, and he quickly read it, although he didn't know if it would be useful in the future, but he still wrote it down.

There was a voice outside, and he quickly put the ledger away, and with his small size, he climbed and rolled into the splint above the wardrobe. If it was Qin Xiaoya'er, he would definitely be able to hide it more steadily and better than him, after all, he didn't have the special ability of Xiaoya'er, so he could only hide it like this first, fortunately, it was basically impossible for anyone to find him.

After a while, I heard someone walk in, and one of them said, "Is that list ready?" "This voice is strong and powerful, and the middle qi is deep, and it is obviously a master.

Immediately after that, it was Bao Qing's voice: "It took a lot of effort to investigate, Yuehu Lake was originally a famous landscape, and the maple leaves of Kongshan Mountain are also famous beauties in Tongzhou, there are too many people who have been to these two places. It is the three famous prostitutes of Yuehu, they were originally from Yuehu, last year's government test, and all transferred to Tongzhou, Kongshan maple leaf is the most famous scenery in Tongzhou, they and their maids, mothers-in-law have also been to Kongshan, and now they are also on this list. There are also local people in Linjiang County, who has not stayed in these two places? Dad, what's the use of this list? ”

The man with a deep voice said: "Let you investigate, you will investigate, you don't have to worry too much about other things, and it is not up to you." ”

On the splint, Ning Jiang thought, it turned out that this person was Bao Qing's father, Zhenheng Daoist of Zhenjiguan's "Heavenly Sword"? They looked into the list of people who had been to Yuehu and Kongshan at the same time in the past two years...... What's to be done?

At this moment, Yuehu Lake and Kongshan have been destroyed by meteorites falling from the sky, and the reason is still unknown to this moment, but these people have investigated the list of people in these two places behind their backs? He knew very well that he and his sister must be on this list......

Zhen Heng said: "In an hour, Miss Li will wait for you in front of the Tongwen Pavilion, you give her this list, don't ask too much about other things." ”

Bao Qing said: "Yes! ”

After the explanation, the chief of Zhenheng left first, and Bao Qing went outside to check the income and business situation of Huahao Building tonight. When the room was empty, Ning Jiang fell to the ground, flipped through the stack of lists on the table, and sure enough, he saw that his and his sister's names were also inside. For a moment, he was tempted to take the one with his and his sister's names on it, but soon realized that it didn't make sense.

Last year's Lantern Festival, he made "Long Hate Song" in Yuehu, and in the summer, his sister sent love poems to Qimeng for him in Kongshan, which is something everyone knows, he took away the list of names written by himself and his sister, but there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Hiding back again, after about a quarter of an hour, Bao Qing and a mother-in-law walked in, and said lightly: "That day, sure enough, Qin Hongyun secretly notified Ning Jiang and let Ning Jiang escape?" ”

The woman said: "Someone did see that Miss Hongyun quietly entered the toilet and met Ningjiang Xie Yuan. He said again: "Son, do you want the old body to give that Qin Hongyun some good looks?" ”

Bao Qing said: "No! It's not a big deal, it's just a few friends of Ning Jieyuan that day, I just want to play tricks on him, and I don't have to take this matter to heart. You go down first! After the woman left, he suddenly sneered: "That, dare to harm my business, after this paragraph, watch me kill her!" The cold voice reverberated through the room, and it made people's scalps tingle.

After Bao Qing picked up the stack of lists and hurried away, Ning Jiang jumped off the deck, his mind turned, and then slipped out.

Half an hour later, the "boy" put back on his clothes and walked down the street. It seems that Qin Hongyun's secret help to him has been exposed, but Ning Jiang is not worried about her safety for the time being.

At this time, any homicide will provoke the investigation of the Qifeng Mansion and the attention of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, so Bao Qing can only wait for "over this period" to "kill her"!

It's a pity that Ning Jiang doesn't plan to let him "finish this period......

***

In front of the Tongwen Pavilion, Ning Jiang hid on an eaves.

After a long time, I saw Bao Qing with two guards coming from the other side of the alley.

He left the two men at the other end of the alley, and went to the Tongwen Pavilion alone. After a while, a carriage stopped in front of him, and he stood by the window, said something to the people in the car, and then handed over the list in his hand.

Then the carriage made a detour and went back the way it came. Ning Jiang groaned slightly, thinking about whether to follow the carriage first, but quickly gave up...... He didn't have much time, and after he was done, he still had to rush back to the Tribute Courtyard, and now was not the time to make extraneous branches.

He rolled and slid down the eaves......
