Xue Rengui, Ji Yusheng, and Yu Junsheng returned to Xu Qing's barracks after being missing for seven days. Xue Rengui pleaded guilty to Xu Qing, in order to save Mu Jianci, the heir of the Tianlai Sect, who was half of the division, he abandoned Xu Qing and asked him to find out the identity and origin of the red dart owner and get in touch with Leng Yuehan.

Not to mention that Xue Rengui saved Xu Qing's favorite No. 1 beauty in the rivers and lakes, Mu Jianci, that is, he went to visit the mountains and rivers and delayed the business, with Xue Rengui's status in the Xu family's army and the relationship between Xue Jinlian, whom Xu Qing liked, was his daughter, Xu Qing would not punish him too much.

Xu Qing asked Ji Yusheng and Yu Junsheng to obey Xue Rengui's command in this operation, the two of them did not carry out the task, and went with Xue Rengui to save Mu Jianci, Xu Qing couldn't blame them, but they still took the initiative to ask for guilt. Of course, Xu Qing did not punish them.

Mu Jianci wandered around the rivers and lakes, the purpose was to find Ruyi Langjun, so her whereabouts were erratic, although Xu Qing was worried about her safety, but she didn't want Xu Qing to provide protection, Xu Qing couldn't insist on sending someone to protect her, that would be regarded as spying on her. Mu Jianci and Xu Qing don't care, the most important thing at the moment is to find Leng Yuehan, get the secrets about the Black and White Sect and the Demon Gate from her, and whether the Hou Party has colluded with these two factions and is involved in the assassination case.

These two sects dare to assassinate Xu Qing, and Xu Qing will teach them to be wiped out! The post-party will also teach it to pay a heavy price.

Listening to Xu Qing said that it had been found out that the owner of the red dart was Shi Zhiyuan, the leader of the Black and White Sect who participated in the robbery of the dart, he sent someone to hire the bodyguard of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and then led the people to rob the dart, the purpose was to make the Longmen Dart Bureau lose money and lose money until it went bankrupt and closed down, Xue Rengui was upright by nature, never played with conspiracies and tricks, served in the army for many years, stayed away from the rivers and lakes, and was shocked that the leader of the Black and White Sect, the largest gang in the martial arts, was so despicable and shameless, insidious and cunning, Ji Yu was mixed in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and Yu Junsheng had more contact with the people in the rivers and lakes, so he was only slightly surprised by this, and was not shocked.

The three of them all admired Xu Qing for finding out the identity of the owner of the red dart so quickly.

Lu Yuanlang couldn't save Lin Yue (Leng Yuehan's pseudonym) alone, so he asked for help from the Ezhou (now Wuhan) branch of the Tianxing Sect, which was also a martial arts sect, and the beggar gang Ezhou rudder.

Fu Honglei, the incense master of the Ezhou branch of the Tianxing Sect, had already received Xu Qing's order to let him secretly investigate Leng Yuehan's whereabouts, and immediately held Leng Yuehan hostage in Ezhou by Xu Ce, the owner of the Ezhou branch of the Demon Gate, Lu Yuanlang, the owner of Huangshan Lujiazhuang, and the owner of the ** Gate have relatives who are Lin Yue's fiancés, but they all disappeared mysteriously before they got married, and their whereabouts are still unknown, so they joined forces to snatch people from the hands of the disciples of the Demon Gate, as a result, Chi Zheng and more than ten of his subordinates were killed, and the news that Lu Yuanlang was injured and fled was reported to Xu Qing, who was secretly visiting local officials nearby.

After hearing the news, Xu Qing stepped up his search for Leng Yuehan, and immediately summoned Zhao Mengchen, Xue Jinlian, Ye Xiaodie, Zhao Tuozhi, Liu Sisi, Xue Rengui, Nie Hu, Jia Quan, Yu Junsheng, Ji Yusheng, Wei Chiding, and Fu Honglei to hold a meeting to summarize the intelligence information about the Demon Sect and the Black and White Sect, and discuss the matter of finding Leng Yuehan.

Fu Honglei proposed to attack one of the secret strongholds of the Demon Gate, a fortress built in the primeval forest of Shennongjia, and a secret stronghold of the Demon Gate, which could get more news of the Demon Gate, which was conducive to finding and rescuing Leng Yuehan.

Xu Qing asked everyone's opinions, and most of them agreed, only pure soldiers Xue Rengui and Xue Jinlian objected, on the grounds that they did not know anything about the secret stronghold of Shennongjia of the Demon Gate, and could not carry out military operations, and before launching a large-scale military operation, they should first send scouts to reconnoitre, or send intelligence spies to infiltrate the secret stronghold of Shennongjia of the Demon Gate to find out the news, and these will take time.

Leng Yuehan has fallen into the hands of Xu Ce, the master of the Demon Gate, and it is difficult to protect his life and innocence, so he must race against time to find Leng Yuehan as soon as possible, so it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches.

And Ye Xiaodie, who supported the attack on the secret stronghold of Shennongjia of the Demon Gate, said that the people in the Demon Gate have been engaged in anti-imperial court activities for a long time, and have rich experience in tracking and counter-tracking, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. To find Leng Yuehan, you must first find Xu Ce, and to find Xu Ce, you can only start from the Demon Gate, and only the people in the Demon Gate know where his relatives and friends live.

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it seemed difficult to make a choice, but Xu Qing looked at the overall situation, instead of thinking about rescuing Leng Yuehan, and ignored other things, and vetoed Fu Honglei's proposal, on the grounds that he knew too little about the Demon Gate at the moment, and the army was not around, so it was not suitable to encircle and suppress the Demon Gate Shennongjia stronghold, so as not to startle the snake. If the disciples of the Demon Sect are all hiding underground, it will be difficult to find them, and they will encounter trouble in the future to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand the meaning of "underground", Xu Qing remembered that this was the Tang Dynasty and explained: "'underground' means that it is in secret, not publicly, not really underground." ”

Only then did the crowd understand.

Zhao Mengchen asked Xu Qing for a map, pointed to the map and said, "Leng Yuehan and Xu Ce disappeared at the same time in Ezhou, and more than 30 people died under the flying knife in the Demon Gate. I guess Xu Ce was unwilling to lose the hostage that could make him rich, so he went and returned, killed the disciples of the Demon Sect, and kidnapped Leng Yuehan. But it could also be done by someone else, 'The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind'......"

Xu Qing asked: "Who does Chen'er think 'Yellow Sparrow' is?" ”

Zhao Mengchen shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”

Xu Qing asked the crowd, "Who of you knows what weapon Xu Ce used?" Is he good at throwing knives? ”

Fu Honglei replied: "Back to the sect leader, Xu Ce's weapon is a sword, but he is good at flying knives, and he carries thirty-six willow leaf flying knives with him, and his flying knives are very famous in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xu Qing said: "Then we can preliminarily conclude that Leng Yuehan was hijacked by Xu Ce, which is troublesome." If the Demon Gate kidnapped Leng Yuehan, we can find the Demon Gate's lair, but Xu Ce betrayed the Demon Gate, and the action will inevitably go underground, where can we find him? ”

Ye Xiaodie said to Xu Qing: "Let's go to the scene to have a look, understand the situation on the spot, and then make a decision." What does Xu Lang think? ”

Xu Qing said: "Okay, just according to what you say." To the crowd, "Disperse the meeting and prepare for action." ”

Xu Qing led Zhao Mengchen, Xue Jinlian, Ye Xiaodie, Xue Rengui, Zhao Tuozhi, Liu Sisi, Ji Yusheng, Fu Honglei, and led a company of new troops and one hundred elite soldiers of the Right Armed Guards.

After inquiry, Xu Qing led the crowd to the rash center where Leng Yuehan was treated, asked the doctor about Leng Yuehan's treatment and abduction, and made a record, and then found an inn to stay, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took the place of the crime as the center, looked for witnesses at the time of the crime, learned about the situation at the time of the crime, and focused on listening to their descriptions of the physical characteristics, clothing, and weapons of the middle-aged man who abducted Leng Yuehan and the people who were fighting at the scene, and made a good record.

After that, Xu Qing led the crowd to Ezhou Yamen, revealed his identity, and demanded that the disciples of the Demon Gate and the disciples of the ** Gate who died in the robbery of Leng Yuehan be opened for an autopsy.

Feng Youcai (the state-level administrator) and Sima Jiangbin (the deputy of the assassin and usually in charge of public security) immediately sent someone to open the coffin for an autopsy, and sent experienced criminal investigation experts to accompany Xu Qing and others to conduct the autopsy. There were more than 50 people who died, and the causes of death varied, the most common cause of death was a sword cutting the throat and a throwing knife to seal the throat, and the rest were deaths caused by internal injuries and excessive blood loss.

Fu Honglei and Xu Ce are in Ezhou together, standing in a hostile position, fighting with Xu Ce a few times, and are more familiar with Xu Ce, saying that Xu Ce's swordsmanship and flying knives are vicious, and if he doesn't make a move, he will cut his throat and seal his throat.

After the autopsy, Xu Qing summoned witnesses and asked Chen, a court painter specially brought from Chang'an to solve the case and temporarily borrowed from Emperor Li Zhi, to give a portrait of Xu Ce, the suspect who kidnapped Leng Yuehan and killed many people, according to the description of eyewitnesses.

Fu Honglei was amazed and said that the painting was too similar.

At this point, it is basically certain that Xu Ce hijacked Leng Yuehan. Xu Qing asked Jiang Bin for twenty catchers as guides, led the crowd to leave, and the soldiers divided into two ways to find Leng Yuehan.

Zhao Tuozhi, Liu Sisi, Ji Yusheng, and Fu Honglei led ten fast arresters, half of the company of the new army, and fifty elite soldiers of the Right Armed Guards to the west and then to the north to track down the whereabouts of Xu Ce and Leng Yuehan, Xu Qing, Zhao Mengchen, Xue Rengui, Xue Jinlian, and Ye Xiaodie led ten fast arresters, half of the company of the new army, and fifty elite soldiers of the Right Armed Guards to the east and south to track down the whereabouts of Xu Ce and Leng Yuehan.

The two groups of men and horses each searched an area within a radius of 20 miles and half a circle, looking for suspicious clues, and each returned to the same place in half a circle.
