Hearing Empress Wei talk about the last time, the muscles on Zong Chuke's face trembled twice, and he instantly changed his treacherous and cunning smile: "At this time, at that time, the queen mother may not buy this face, but if His Majesty comes forward, how can he not agree?" ”

Empress Wei nodded thoughtfully. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zong Chuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, this matter was finally done. The reason why he tried his best to speak for Liu Zhennan was not because of how close he was with Liu Zhennan, but because Liu Zhennan gave him the red coral tree more than three feet tall and two deep-sea night pearls. And, of course, the 200,000 taels of silver.

……

In the city of Junzhou, with the arrival of the imperial army, the devastated streets and alleys gradually regained their vitality today.

In the second hall of the Assassin Yamen, Xue Ne and Zhang Baoer sat facing each other.

Xue Ne smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand, you Lord Zhang alone can put down the rebellion, what else do you want this army to do?" ”

Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said, "Xue Shuai, what are you talking about?" I am a civil official, and I am powerless, how can I put down the rebellion, and I don't want you to lead an army? ”

Zhang Bao'er said a serious thing, which made Uncle Hua, who was covered with gauze on the side, disdainful: There is no power to bind the chicken? Feign! It's really loaded!

Thinking of this trip to Junzhou, Uncle Hua was full of emotion.

Zhang Baoer has a force in his body, and Uncle Hua has long known that this power can actually break Li Chongfu's golden body, which he didn't expect.

In fact, what amazed Uncle Hua even more was not Zhang Baoer's force, but the depth of his calculations.

went to Kexiong's army camp to rescue Ke Xiong, but he didn't make a move.

Bloodbathed Cui Wenli's military camp, and he didn't make a move.

The third hall of the government fought a bloody battle with Cui Wenli, but he did not make a move.

Uncle Hua and Wu were dying after being repaired by Li Chongfu, but he still didn't make a move.

Even his own life hung by a thread, and he didn't make a move.

endured for so long, just to find the most appropriate time to shoot and hit with one blow.

In other words, who can really do it?

Zhang Bao'er diverted the topic and said: "Xue Shuai, I originally said that I wanted to invite you to drink, but now it doesn't work, Your Majesty is in a hurry, let me hurry back to Chang'an, I'm here to bid you off!" ”

Xue Ne was shocked: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Baoer shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just said that I should go back as soon as possible!" ”

"Shall we go now?" Xue Ne was a little reluctant.

"Yes, let's go now!" Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "The coming day is long, the next time Xue Shuai comes to Chang'an, I will make up for this wine!" ”

……

"Bao'er, look at this matter......" Li Xian consulted Zhang Bao'er's opinion.

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Empress Wei, who was sitting next to Li Xian and said nothing, he didn't know what Empress Wei meant, but he couldn't refuse Li Xian's request.

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to Weichen, Weichen will do his best to find the Tiger Talisman!"

"Bao'er, then it's hard for you! It stands to reason that you have just come back from Junzhou, and you should rest for two days, but ......" Li Xian was full of apologies to Zhang Bao'er in his heart.

"Weichen will live up to His Majesty's love, please rest assured!"

……

Coming out of the palace, Zhang Baoer went straight to the yamen of the Criminal Department, and he wanted to find Gu Yuntian, the chief arrester, to understand the case.

"What? Is there such a thing? Zhang Bao'er was taken aback when she heard Gu Yuntian's words.

It turned out that after the Tiger Talisman was lost, Gu Yuntian issued an iron order to the disciples of the six sects in each state capital: he must catch the shocking thief as soon as possible, and return the extremely important Tiger Talisman to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The Criminal Department sent a number of experienced arresters to investigate the case, but they never expected that the tiger charm was not recovered, but four of them were caught in Jingzhou at the same time.

"Brother Gu, are you going to rush to Jingzhou?" Zhang Baoer asked.

Gu Yuntian nodded: "Something happened to the arrest of the Criminal Department, and I can't ignore it as the chief arrester." Besides, this incident may have something to do with the theft of the tiger talisman. So, I have to go to Jingzhou! ”

"Alright then, I'll go with you!" Zhang Baoer groaned.

……

In the Jingzhou Mansion Capture Hall, Zhang Baoer and Gu Yuntian threw seven or eight strings of paper money into the funeral basin under the stone steps, and in the burnt smell of incinerated coins, pieces of paper ash flew up with the fireworks like night moths.

Uncle Hua stood silently behind them, not saying a word.

Gu Yuntian sighed and said: "It is our fate to die in the execution of the murderer, and I think I will have such a day." ”

Zhang Baoer was silent.

The three servants of Jingzhou Mansion gently pushed open the door of the mortuary room for Zhang Bao'er and Gu Yuntian, and the body of the martyr was lying flat on the mortuary bed made of two door panels.

An old man put a stick of incense on Gu Yunfei's head, shook the body deeply, and muttered in his mouth: "Exclusive to my father, Yongrong is full of worship." I can't see it, and I don't see it. Benevolence and righteousness, piety and reverence. God knows it, and he knows my heart. ”

After finishing the chatter, put on suede gloves and lifted the first piece of white cloth covering the corpse to the ground, revealing a bloody corpse!

The old man carefully examined the corpse again, pointed to a narrow knife sore in the rib gap of his left chest, and said: "According to the old man's thirty-eight years of experience, it was this knife that took his life!" ”

The knife wounds of the other three were the same, apparently the same person shot and used the same knife technique to kill all four people at the same time in an instant.

The criminal department is an official of the imperial court and must be bound by the laws of the imperial court; On the other hand, they have to deal directly with people in the rivers and lakes, and they must be familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes. Because of this, they can enter the yamen, go out of the rivers and lakes, encounter strange things, and deal with things flexibly and changeably. They are the characters in the yamen, and they are the heads of the yamen in the rivers and lakes. They represent the yamen to rule the rivers and lakes, and have great power in the rivers and lakes, but at the same time they are also despised by the heroes of the rivers and lakes who do not serve the imperial court. Therefore, it is common for them to die at the hands of the Jianghu people.

Gu Yuntian carefully uncovered the clothes on the chest of the corpse that were stuck together with blood, he measured the narrow knife edge with his fingers, and gritted his teeth and said: "The masters who can use thin knives in the rivers and lakes are none other than Ma, Peng, Hua, and Qi. But the four fast arresters of the Criminal Department are not weak, and it is impossible for them to kill the four of them at once with their martial arts. There is only one left, and the person who killed them must be Yuan Feng, the head of the Falling Flower Knife Sect! ”

"Yuan Feng? How could it be him? Zhang Bao'er frowned.

"Bao'er, do you recognize this Yuan Feng?" Gu Yuntian asked in surprise.

Zhang Bao'er nodded: "I saw him when I was investigating the case in Sword Casting Villa, and he also helped me at that time. ”

The other two young servants took the murder knife that killed Gu Yunfei from the wooden frame where the murder weapon was placed next to the wall and handed it over.
