On the twenty-third day of the tenth month of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing City, Haishi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With Yang Zhen's order, the originally quiet Jinyi Guard quickly moved, and hundreds of captains and officers who were ready to be prepared gathered in the wide small school yard, some of them even carrying bows and crossbows. Obviously, after the news of Yang Zhen's two wives being kidnapped became known, the entire Zhenfu Division was fully prepared and was just waiting to attack.

Seeing these brothers so attentive, Yang Zhen's heart was also warm, but he didn't see the slightest hint of gratitude on his face at the moment, he just said: "There is information that the White Lotus Sect has resurrected again, and now they are hiding in the capital, we will rush to kill them all!" Hugo! ”

After Yang Zhen let out a deep sigh, Hu Ge, who was already a thousand households, stepped forward to obey the dispatch.

"You will lead two hundred brothers to the Mao'er Hutong in the west of the city first, and block all the places, whether it is the city patrol officers or others, but those who pass by will be detained and not let go. Is half an hour enough? Yang Zhen looked at his right-hand man and asked.

Hu Ge nodded vigorously: "The subordinates must complete the arrangement of the adults!" "If it were in the daytime, let alone close to the New Year's festival as it is now, it would be an ordinary day, and it would be far from enough for only two hundred people to do this. But it's late at night, and there can be a few people on the street, so it's not too much of a problem.

After receiving the order, Hu Ge ordered two hundred people, rushed out quickly, and after getting on the horse, he galloped directly towards Xicheng. And Yang Zhen was still assigning tasks at this time: "Cai Yingyang...... Grad Black ...... Takeku-iwa...... "The subordinate brothers whose names he had named stepped forward one after another, obeying the dispatch, and soon, most of the hundreds of people gathered were reduced, and in the end, less than fifty people were left there.

Yang Chen on the side watched his brother make this series of troop transfers, and he also had a special feeling in his heart. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Yang Zhen, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, dispatch people to take people, and only at this time did he realize that the power of his brother was so heavy that he didn't dare to look at him as a brother.

At the same time, he was also a little strange, why Yang Zhen dispatched people to do the work of surrounding and responding, but only kept such a few men for himself, did he plan to use only these dozens of people to attack the lair of the White Lotus Sect? This is too big, but the other party has given the court a headache for two hundred years.

But now at this juncture, Yang Zhen won't say anything to his brother anymore, just glanced at him, and then took the others away quickly. In the blink of an eye, with the sound of eager horses' hooves from near to far, it finally disappeared, and the entire town was completely quiet.

In order to rescue Zhang Luo's second daughter, in order to take down those White Lotus Sect thieves who still refused to give up in one fell swoop, Jinyiwei could be regarded as pouring out of the nest this time. In addition to the guards and prisoners who stayed in the prison, as well as the thirty or forty people who stayed behind, the Jinyi guard, who had always been well-guarded, had become an empty yamen.

Yang Chen was in the middle of it, and he didn't feel a trace of strangeness. But then he shook his head slightly, throwing the strange feeling aside, and in this regard, he was naturally better than his own brother. But since he came, he had to do something for his brother, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to go back like this.

But what should be done?

Suddenly, Yang Chen thought of something. Just now, he saw a corpse brought in, it was said that the thief tried to frame Yang Zhen for murder, and also said that it was an official of the Ministry of Industry, which made him have a strange idea that he might be able to help Erlang in this matter.

Thinking of this, he walked over to a brocade guard beside him: "This brother is invited, I wonder if you can take me to see the corpse just sent?" ”

The captain of the brocade clothes naturally knew Yang Chen's identity, and although he was a little puzzled when he heard his request, he still nodded and said: "Yang Langzhong wants to see that there is naturally no problem, please come with the little one." ”

After following the lieutenant for a long walk in the slightly secluded Pacification Division, they stopped in front of a dark hall. The lieutenant said, "This is where the evidence of corpses is usually held by our Zhenfu Division." So saying, he stepped forward and opened the door, and lit the candle inside.

As soon as the lights came on at a few o'clock, the entire appearance of this somewhat spacious hall was completely revealed in front of Yang Chen's eyes. Except for a few wooden beds, there are rows of shelves. Now, there was nothing but a corpse covered in a white cloth on one of the couches. But there are a lot of things on those shelves, and I can't see them for a while.

But this thing made it feel so empty in such a large hall that it was no wonder that it was colder when you came in than outside.

Yang Chen calmed down for a moment, and then pointed to the corpse on the couch and glanced at the captain. The lieutenant nodded knowingly, and brought him three or four candles to place around the corpse, so that the light could be brighter, so that he could see more clearly.

Yang Chen immediately stepped forward with courage, then reached out and slowly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, revealing the corpse itself.

Although this was not the first time Yang Chen had seen a corpse, and he was mentally prepared, after seeing the appearance of this corpse, he still let out an exclamation in fright, and at the same time, his body took three steps back. He had no idea that what he saw would be such a headless corpse!

The corpse that lost its head was much shorter than the average one, and because of the standing position, Yang Chen happened to be staring at the neck cavity that had already clotted blood, and that kind of visual impact was not something that he could withstand as a civil official.

Seeing him retreat again and again, the lieutenant came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Lord Langzhong, are you okay?" ”

After gasping for a while, Yang Chen regained his composure. said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect him to have no head, but it made you laugh." Speaking of this, he was stunned again: "Since this person has no head, how can you confirm his identity?" ”

"This ...... It seems that it is because he has the trust of the Ministry of Works. ”

"Oh?" Yang Chen nodded in understanding, then endured the discomfort and panic in his heart, and stepped forward again to carefully observe the corpse. He wanted to recognize who this corpse was.

Yang Chen is also a person who has been an official in the Ministry of Industry for several years, not to mention all the people inside, at least he can distinguish the appearance of most of them. Unfortunately, the corpse in front of him was missing a head, which made it a little difficult for him to start, and it was too difficult to identify the person just by looking at the torso or limbs.

After looking at it for a while, Yang Chen's face showed a look of disappointment, obviously he didn't find anything. In fact, this is also very normal, it is not easy for him to overcome the panic in his heart, and he does not have Yang Zhen's nuanced insight, so it is even more difficult to identify corpses, especially those without heads.

After a long examination without any clues, Yang Chen finally gave up: "Even if this person is really an official of the Ministry of Industry, I can't see his identity, I'm really ashamed." ”

"Lang Zhong doesn't have to be like this, even if it is the work of our Jinyi Wei and the Criminal Department, we don't dare to fully confirm his identity." The lieutenant hurriedly comforted him.

Yang Chen smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more. After walking out of the hall, he exhaled again: "Since I can't help here, then I'll go back first." ”

"The small one is sent to Yang Langzhong." The lieutenant was busy and a little courteous. After all, Yang Chen was the elder brother of his own governor, no matter what the considerations, the people of Jinyiwei were extremely respectful and polite to him. To be honest, among the hundred officials in the capital, Yang Chen has this treatment.

He thanked him and stepped forward. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in front of him, which made him stunned, and pointed with his hand: "That's ......"

"Huh?" The lieutenant beside him looked in the direction of his finger, but didn't find anything unusual: "What did Lang Zhong say?" ”

"It's nothing, maybe I'm dazzled, or maybe there's a cat......" Yang Chen said with some surprise, thinking that he was afraid after seeing that somewhat terrible corpse, so he had an illusion.

But before he finished speaking, he heard a plop, and the lieutenant beside him fell to the ground.

"It's not good...... Yang Chen reacted quickly, it wasn't his own dazzle just now, but it was still a little late, a strong wind hit the back of his head, and slashed heavily on the back of his neck, he only felt a pain, and then his eyes darkened, and he didn't know anything......

"Sister, are you better?" Zhang Jingyun looked at Luo Yueying with some worry and nervousness and asked.

Luo Yueying's face looked really scary at this time, it was white and white, and there was no blood. But she still nodded lightly: "I don't have the feeling of wanting to vomit something out just now...... But my body doesn't have any strength, and I don't want to move! ”

"Huh? This...... What's going on? What can I do? Zhang Jingyun was a little dazed and helpless.

I thought I could escape, but I didn't expect such a branch to be born again, which made her even more overwhelmed when she didn't have any ideas.

Although the body was still very uncomfortable, Luo Yueying's mind did not lose its effect because of this: "Jingyun, I think so, you go out of the window alone first, and go to Erlang to save me......"

"Ah......" Zhang Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head vigorously: "This can't work, how can I leave your sister here and run alone, this is absolutely not good." ”

"Listen to me, it's not for you to leave your sister alone, but for us all to be saved. In fact, I have thought about it a long time ago, even if I am fine, I am afraid that it will be a burden to escape outside with you. After all, you have studied martial arts, and your body is lighter and more flexible than mine, so you can always avoid their ears and eyes......" Luo Yueying hurriedly persuaded him.
