It was destined to be an unquiet night. The entire Kyoto of the Han Empire was transformed into a huge barracks in one night. The banks of the Qinhuai River, where they originally sang every night, also turned off their lights tonight. All ports, docks, city gates, government offices...... They were all garrisoned by well-armored soldiers.

Noise was forbidden both inside and outside the Imperial City. Everyone must return to their homes before sunset, and those who stay on the street are to be taken back to the City Patrol Division for interrogation and confirmation that they have nothing to do with the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai before they can leave the next day. The temporary detention center of the City Patrol Division has long been overcrowded.

The effect of such a forbidden city search is still obvious. The City Patrol Division has caught many robbers and thieves, and several are still long-wanted repeat offenders. In addition, they also recovered the jewelry of many singers and dancers in the Qinhuai River, the puppy lost by an adult's family, and the female donkey that Wang Mazi lost the day before yesterday...... But there is no murderer who assassinated the Marquis of Bohai--- this one in the Emperor Hospital is not counted!

Tang Mo pressed the embroidered spring knife and stood outside the door of the ambulance room, his black face was full of anxiety, and he kept probing inside. Chen Le stood beside him, his white face was also solemn, but he was still steady, sitting on the bench outside the ambulance, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After a long time, the door of the first aid room suddenly opened, and a medical officer in a white lab coat walked out, took off the mask from his mouth, and breathed in the air. His forehead was covered with sweat.

Tang Mo hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently: "Medical officer, how are the injured inside?" ”

Chen Le also opened his eyes and looked here.

"The injured person is out of danger, but he has lost too much blood and is still in a coma. If the two officials want to interrogate, let's wait for tomorrow! The medical officer said slowly.

Tang Mo said hatefully: "Damn, I knew that he would cut his veins and commit suicide, so he shouldn't have been left alone in the interrogation room in the first place." ”

Chen Le stepped forward, patted Tang Mo, who was a little impatient, turned his head to the medical officer and said, "Dare to ask the medical officer's surname?" ”

The medical officer said: "The contemptible person's surname is Lin, and his name is Xiao." ”

"Doctor Lin, I'm tired. Tonight, he also asked Dr. Lin to arrange a secluded place, and at the same time ordered a few competent medical staff to stay here and deal with the sudden situation of the injured at any time. We'll have some people working around the clock to protect this wounded! ”

Doctor Lin arched his hands and said repeatedly: "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dead and help the wounded. Don't dare to take credit. It's just that this injured person is really the assassin who assassinated Bohai Hou? ”

Chen Le smiled slightly: "Exactly." The Marquis of Bohai was assassinated, and Kyoto was shaken. So I hope the medical officer will bother a lot! It's hard work! ”

"Be polite and courteous, and the contemptible person will do his best! The two officials were busy first, and the contemptible people retired first. With that, Doctor Lin took his leave.

After Doctor Lin left, Chen Le said, "Gongren, don't be so impatient. It's the first time I've seen you so breathless in all these years! ”

Tang Mo, the word Gongren. He smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't you see the scene of Du Mansion at that time, it was called a tragedy!" There was a mess inside and outside the hall of Dufu, and blood was sprinkled on the beams...... I can conclude that at least ten Assassins were together to assassinate the Marquis of Bohai. Then the Marquis of Bohai also took it seriously, one person responded to the battle, severely wounding at least three of them, and one of them should have been killed on the spot......"

Speaking of this, Tang Mo slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling the scene at that time, and muttered: "It's a pity, two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone a well-trained assassin!" The final blow should have been in the flower garden in front of the court, two people made a move in front of them, and the other person went around the back, and Bohai Hou should have been injured at that time, and his movement was a little slow. Therefore, after Kankan dodged the attack of the two people in front of him, he could no longer dodge the fatal sword of the person behind him, so he was assassinated on the spot. After piercing his chest, Bohai snatched the sword of one of the assassins and stabbed one of them in the back. At this time, the men of the Marquis of Bohai arrived, and the assassins dispersed. ”

Chen Le listened very seriously, but Tang Mo opened his eyes: "For the time being, I can only infer so much." Before leaving, they took the corpse of their companion, but failed to take the wounded Assassin...... The efforts of the Bohai Hou family to raise people are also really good. Tang Mo thought of the person named Shen Wu and sighed sincerely.

"However, they didn't take away the sword that was snatched by the Marquis of Bohai!" Chen Le said quietly, "Also, that assassin only had broken bones in his hands, but his legs and feet were good. As a trained Assassin, it was not difficult to commit suicide in that situation, even if he could not escape quickly. But he didn't seek death on the spot, but only killed himself after he went to the City Patrol Division, Gongren, where did the knife he cut his wrists come from? ”

Chen Le's white face suddenly showed a hint of mockery.

Tang Mo came to his senses and said, "Wen Chuan, you mean that this assassin deliberately let us hold it?" ”

Chen Le nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's very likely." But other possibilities are not ruled out...... In short, the water behind this matter is too deep, maybe we all have to plant on it. ”

Tang Mo patted Chen Le's shoulder and said, "They all call us the black and white impermanence of the City Patrol Division, just let me contribute if you are wise." As for the depth of this trip, hehe, who have we ever been afraid of? Besides, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, and Lord Shangguan's nickname of Living Yama is not called for nothing! ”

Chen Le looked at this best partner, still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't think too optimistically. Lord Shangguan is indeed iron-faced and selfless, otherwise he would not tolerate the two of us under his command...... I'm afraid, even Lord Shangguan can't carry this incident! ”

Tang Mo exclaimed: "How is it possible? Lord Shangguan is the prime minister's protégé......" His words suddenly stopped, and he looked at Chen Le hesitantly, "Do you know something?" ”

Chen Le suppressed the conversation, made a silent gesture, looked around, and then whispered in Tang Mo's ear: "I guess, this matter may be related to the palace......

"Huh? You mean the Queen Mother's side......"

"Shhhh I want to die so soon! Chen Le reprimanded angrily.

Tang Mo also knew that he was speechless, shut up and was silent for a while and said: "Wenchuan, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter has nothing to do with Shen Shizi, didn't Princess Duanping of the Liang family and Zhuge Nanshan of the Zhi family all testify that Shen Yun was in Hongqing Building at the time of the incident?" I don't want to let him bear this charge of killing his father with all conscience! ”

Chen Le said in a low voice: "The words of Princess Duanping and Prince Zhuge are not considered evidence. Assassins are clearly just tools, and whoever wields them can ...... anywhere I understand that since you and I have been on an errand, we have never handled a single wrongful conviction, and I will try my best to figure out what happened! It's just that you also saw the situation this evening, and even the Guards intervened...... Alas, Wang Sikong was worried about the expansion of the matter, so he immediately issued a decree asking me to hand over Shen Shizi to Dali Temple......"

Speaking of this, Chen Le's eyes suddenly widened and exclaimed, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong? This one is shocking! Tang Mo was really excited to hear it, and Chen Le was really startled like this.

"Dali Temple Qing Wang Zhao is the queen mother's person!"

Tang Mo also woke up suddenly and jumped up: "Oops, why didn't I think of it!" This straight lady thief has never dealt with us, and the madman who poisoned the seventy-eight people on the street like the poisonous dragon on Guijie dared to shield him, what else could he not do? No, let's hurry up and find Lord Shangguan, why don't we get Shen Shizi to the City Patrol Division to be detained! ”

Chen Le did not shirk this time, and quickly arranged a few people to guard the hospital, and followed Tang Mo straight to the city patrol division.

……………………… Dividing line ........................

The City Patrol Division is subordinate to Luoyang Prefecture and is equivalent to the Public Security Bureau in modern society. Under the city patrol department, there are three official positions: inspection, inspection, and inspection, as well as some officials and officials. Since the city is located in Kyoto, there is no governor or county guard, only the governor.

The current Lord Yin is called Shangguan Hong, and the word Qingru is like that. After the age of 48 this year, I am in the prime of life. He has been sitting in the position of Yin of Luoyang Mansion for five years and has a good reputation. Not only were officials at all levels convinced of him, but even the people under his rule praised him, saying that he was a rare good official through the ages!

In Kyoto, where there are many high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, it is indeed a miracle that Shangguan Hong can get this kind of unanimous praise from top to bottom. He ruled very strictly, strictly disciplined himself, and dealt with things fairly, and the people called him "the great master of the blue sky", while those who lived in the shadows called him "living Yama" in fear!

The nickname comes from the year Shangguan Honggang took office, sentencing 43 felons --- "Kill and decide!" "Ling Chi!!" "Clan Punishment !!"

Although most of these verdicts were ultimately rejected by the Ministry of Justice, they considered the sentences to be excessive. However, these felons were later sentenced by Shangguan Hong to extreme corporal punishment such as gouging out their eyes, cutting out their tongues, and amputating their limbs. At his insistence, although not all of these felons were beheaded, the surviving ones were thrown into the Dali Temple Class A Prison and imprisoned for life. From this point of view, Shangguan Hong's murderous treatment of prisoners is indeed very heavy, and he deserves to be called a "living Yama"!

Whether it was a prisoner or a subordinate, they were all in awe of this Lord Yin, even his most powerful subordinates, Tang Mo and Chen Le, were respectful in front of him, and they didn't dare to exceed the slightest deviance. In their hearts, Lord Shangguan is definitely a selfless and ruthless image. But tonight, if his image at this time is seen, it will definitely disappoint everyone.

The back hall of the official office of the Luoyang Prefecture is the residence of the Fu Yin. There are three courtyards in total. The last courtyard is the inner residence of Lord Shangguan, Shangguan Hong's two wives live here, usually at this time, there are six or seven Shangguan family's subordinates serving the old lady here, but today, there is no one.

In one of the bedrooms, the lights are bright and the sound is not low.

Shangguan Hong was only wearing a nightgown, exposing his chest and flesh that was not strong, and his expression was sluggish. There were clogs dragged on his feet, the clogs were obviously a few sizes smaller, and his heels were almost dragged on the ground, a black patch, but there was no Yin Weiyi at all.

He was always majestic, and his face was sad at the moment, and he helplessly arched his hand at the petite figure in front of him: "My little aunt, can you stop a little!" I am Yin of Luoyang Mansion, but I am not the secretary of the Criminal Department, let alone the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate! Even if you let me go to work tomorrow without clothes, I can't do anything! ”

"I don't care! Godfather, if you don't help me, there really won't be anyone to help me! Shen Yun: He is really innocent. When Bohai Hou was assassinated, he was with us, how could he be a murderer? You are the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, and you have the right to decide on the prison, can't you do this? ”

"I really can't do it!" Shangguan Hong stretched out his hands and sighed, "Yue'er, isn't it that my godfather doesn't care about this matter, or I will let Tang Mo and Chen Le go to Bohai Hou Beppu as soon as I receive the notice?" However, when the Guards were involved, it was out of my control...... At nightfall, I had already received an order from the cabinet that the assassination case of the Marquis of Bohai would be handed over to the three divisions for trial from today, and I, the Yin of the Luoyang Mansion, had been excluded! ”

Yan Ruyue's eyes widened in surprise, and after a long time, she said quietly: "Godfather, is there really no way at all?" ”

Shangguan Hong tightened the silk robe pajamas that exposed his chest, and nodded helplessly.

It can be seen that as the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, he is the image of an iron-faced judge in Pingsuli, so he is not used to showing his current appearance in front of women--- the most important thing is that in addition to his goddaughter Yan Ruyue, there is also Zhou Hui, the baby granddaughter of the Liang family, standing in front of him!

"Uncle Shangguan, do you think I'm going to beg my father?" Zhou Hui stood beside Yan Ruyue with a nervous expression, and his words were discussed.

Shangguan Hong said in surprise: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that Shen Yun is just a child, why are you both so worried about him?" ”

Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui looked tense at the same time, and they didn't say anything. The strange expression was obviously tired, and Shangguan Hong suddenly understood. But instead of rejoicing, my heart was filled with a little anxiety.

Or Zhou Hui was more straightforward, omitted the embarrassment, and asked, "Uncle Shangguan, just tell me, can you beg my father?" ”

Shangguan Hong Zhengse said: "His Royal Highness Duke Liang is highly respected, and the government and the opposition are always prestigious, if he is willing to come forward to deal with one or two, it will naturally be of great benefit to Shen Yun." But, Princess, think clearly. Once the Liang family also intervenes in this turmoil, it may become more complicated...... Actually, if you really want to do something for Shen Yun, it is better to ask Wang Zhao of Dali Temple. ”

"Wang Zhao? Wang Yuande? Zhou Hui called out his name and wondered: "What's the use of looking for him?" ”

He is the confidant of the Queen Mother, and is in charge of Dali Temple, and is responsible for investigating the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai. You are the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and if you go and ask him, he will answer. ”

Yan Ruyue thought for a while and said, "Godfather, is this good?" Hearing that the Marquis of Bohai was assassinated, even His Majesty was shocked, at this time, let Hui'er go to Lord Wang, will it make the situation even more out of control? ”

Shangguan Hong glanced at her angrily and said, "Then do you think it's good to pull your godfather up from bed in the middle of the night and dress like this to talk to you two girls?" ”

Yan Ruyue said in a coquettish tone that she had never had before: "Oh, godfather, I don't know that you love me, otherwise why don't you think I don't want to quarrel with my father, but instead come to quarrel with you?!" Okay, okay, I'll get you some more coffee beans from Persia from Daddy another day as compensation! ”

Shangguan Hong glanced at her with pity, and said helplessly: "Alas, I can't say you Nizi...... Let me tell you, although Your Majesty is angry, it is not entirely because of the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai. In fact, His Majesty has long been quite dissatisfied with the Marquis of Bohai, and he ...... back then Well, in short, the sky will be broken, but it is not his sin. If you two little girls want to make up for the cracks, it's up to you to do your own thing.

But remember, don't get involved with the military! Especially you, Yue'er, I know that your father has a few Privy Council friends and loves you very much, but remember not to go to them! ”

"Why?" Yan Ruyue was puzzled. She really had the idea of going to these uncles and uncles before, anyway, didn't even the guards go out! But now seeing the godfather's cautious expression, she was a little hesitant.

"Don't ask so much, just remember. Also, it's better not to bother your daddy! Shangguan Hong admonished.

"Well, I know my godfather!" Yan Ruyue smiled, "Godfather, rest early, I'm bothering you!" First apologize to the two godmothers on my behalf, and come back another day to apologize! Hui'er, let's go! ”

Zhou Hui smiled and said to Shangguan Hong: "Uncle Shangguan, you are so interested, you actually live in the same room with two aunts...... Hee-hee, you guys keep playing! Good bye! ”

Shangguan Hong's old face turned red, and he feigned anger: "Broken mouth dolls, be careful to beat your ass!" Hurry up, be careful that I report to the police! ”

"Hehe, aren't you the biggest official in Luoyang City!"

The silver bell-like laughter of the two beautiful girls came back from a distance, with a hint of pleasure that things had been initially resolved.

Shangguan Hong watched them leave, and the expression on his face became more solemn. I sat in the room for a long time without moving, and finally let out a sigh of relief, slowly walked to the study, and began to write with the lamplight......
