Last night, the hustle and bustle near Yiguan Street made many people living nearby sleep very soundly. Even if they couldn't hear the footsteps on the street, no one dared to open the door and come out to watch.

Sweeping the snow in front of the door and being nosy is the standard of life for these ordinary people. Even when they saw the sun rise as usual the next day, these people were very careful when they opened the door, for fear that they would see something they didn't want to see when they opened the door.

Living in the Imperial City, they are undoubtedly lucky. But again, they are unfortunate. If the majesty of the royal family cannot be provoked, living in this imperial city is undoubtedly peaceful and peaceful.

But if you encounter chaos and war, you will live in the imperial city and be most vulnerable to the siege of others. Of course, even if they were the last cities to fall, they would be affected by the war.

Under the painful lessons that their ancestors have experienced, the people have kept their duty and do not care about things that have nothing to do with them in their eyes. The life in the palace is what they yearn for but also stay away.

Only the small vendors who start busy in the morning still get up early to be busy with business for the day. Thinking about the time when the imperial city will open, these small vendors also push small carts and set up stalls on the streets near the imperial city, hoping to make some lucky money.

But compared with the quiet morning in the past, today's city gate seems to be heavily armed. As soon as you look up, you can see the six corpses hanging in front of the city gate. For the punishment of hanging corpses, the people are also very curious about what crimes these six people have committed.

Fortunately, as the streets became lively, the posted notices were quickly read. Knowing that these six people who were hung up turned out to be the killers who assassinated Princess Yinchuan, many people couldn't help but tremble.

Just wait for it to hear, as long as you can tell who the names of the six people are, even if you know that they have lived in that inn. Or maybe you ate at that stall. Each can be rewarded with a tael of gold, which can be used to find the killer's comrades.

A tael of gold is undoubtedly a temptation that is difficult to refuse for businessmen who get up early and do small business in the dark. Many bold people also began to walk up and carefully examine these six slightly strange dead people.

Watching the crowd of onlookers gather more and more. The generals who were responsible for the task of defending the city also listened carefully to the conversations of the people. I hope that from these people, we can find out the clues of these six murderers.

Soon, a middle-aged person, slightly confused, wiped his eyes carefully, and said to a middle-aged man beside him: "Old man, I seem to have seen these six people." Yesterday we were drinking at the guest restaurant, and these six people seemed to be sitting at the table next to us! ”

As soon as these words came out, the old boss hurriedly said carefully: "Old cow." Be quiet, don't die! Although the money is tempting, who knows where they come from. Don't put your life in for a tael of gold! ”

But though the voice was small, it was heard by the people who stood beside them. Soon, a ruffian-like young man immediately said to the officers and soldiers in charge of patrolling and protection: "My lord, these two people know them? ”

Listening to the roar of the young man, the old man and the middle-aged man surnamed Niu. Immediately, his face changed. And those officers and soldiers quickly surrounded the two of them. As for watching the lively people. was even more startled, and hurriedly stayed away from the two.

The general who led the team looked at the two middle-aged men with a frightened expression, and quickly said, "Two, please tell me what you know." As long as the matter is true, the bounty on the notice can be paid immediately.

If you have seen them, but pretend you do not know them. I don't need to remind you two of you. Rest assured, as long as you are not in their party, our defenders will not harm you, but will instead give you a bounty. ”

With the words of this general, the old boss looked regretful. Instead, it is a middle-aged man surnamed Niu. Quickly said: "Lord Hui, our brothers don't want the bounty." Yesterday I was drinking with my boss at a guest restaurant.

It seemed to be these six people next to us at the time. If you don't believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper who came to the restaurant to ask, I remember that at that time, this man with a scar on his face slapped the shopkeeper. ”

With these words, the general immediately said: "Come on, go to a team, and find the shopkeeper of the guest restaurant." Let them know if these six people have eaten at their restaurant! ”

Soon, a city defense team armed with knives and guns immediately ran into the imperial city, in a restaurant that had not yet opened. Hearing the sound of fierce slapping outside the door, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper who were resting inside were startled.

As soon as the door opened, I was also startled to see these defenders armed with knives and guns. The shopkeeper immediately said: "On a business trip, I don't know what to do with coming to the small shop so early." We're businessmen! ”

Seeing that the other party was wearing the uniforms of the defenders, the shopkeeper knew that these people looked ugly. But I seldom heard of them afflicting the merchants of the city. Only then did he have the courage to ask.

The team leader who led the team asked about the identities of the two of them, and quickly said, "On the order of the general, take the two of them to the city gate." It's a good thing, not a bad thing. When the next two get to the gate of the city, they just have to tell the truth. ”

The two people who didn't know why looked at these officers and soldiers with knives and guns, and said the word 'please'. But I know very well in my heart that I can't go if I don't go like this. I didn't care about anything, so I quickly closed the door again and came to the city gate.

When the two arrived at the city gate, they saw the six hanging corpses, as well as the narration of a middle-aged man surnamed Niu. The shopkeeper quickly said: "General, that's right, yesterday at noon, it was these six people who went to the small shop to eat. ”

Hearing the confirmation of the shopkeeper, the general quickly said to the middle-aged man surnamed Niu: "Okay, there's nothing for you here, take a tael of gold and leave!" Remember, this matter is about whether or not the princess's murderer can be caught, so don't take a closer look. ”

Looking at the one or two pieces of gold handed to him, the middle-aged man surnamed Niu smiled crookedly. And the ruffian who reported earlier, although he didn't get a tael of gold, he also got a reward of 500 Wen, and he was also very happy.

With the middle-aged man surnamed Niu taking the lead, the people in the city who learned the news wanted to come over and try their luck. If you can know that these six people live there, the bounty must be very large. After all, identifying them will give you a bounty of 100 taels of gold!

Accompanied by the shopkeeper, Xiao Er also took away a tael of gold, saying that although what these six people said was official. But there are two of them, and occasionally a few big Liao words will pop up. The generals knew that this matter was probably inseparable from the two princes of Da Liao.

In the end, the shopkeeper of an inn that accommodated six people was also reported. This whistleblower naturally happily took a bounty of one or two gold, and smiled from ear to ear. And the innkeeper was scared half to death.

Fortunately, the last general did not embarrass him, and ordered him to take himself to the room where the six people stayed. After some careful searching, I didn't find any valuable information. only to learn that the six of them had been living in the imperial city for seven or eight days.

These six people all act in groups, and they rarely go out. Only when you are hungry, you will go to the street to find something to eat. Even sometimes, only one person went out to buy groceries, ate and drank, and Lazar seemed to be hiding in the inn.

Only yesterday I came out to drink a few times, and I was recognized. But no one seems to know where they came from. The shopkeeper also provided information that a man in a cloak had seen them yesterday evening.

Not long after the cloaked man left, the six men went out with a serious face. Even when they left, the shopkeeper reminded them that there was a curfew on several streets last night, so they were careful not to walk around.

But when the six people left, they didn't say anything, and no one thought that they had committed the great crime of assassinating the princess last night. Now that I think about it, the identity of the cloaked man needs to be checked again.

When the investigation of the defenders of the city began to shift to the investigation of the cloaked people, Cho Hyo-seok, who had not slept all night in the palace. Looking at Zhao Yu lying on the sickbed, it seemed that she was lucky not to have a fever, and she knew that she had passed the most shocking hurdle.

It's just that Zhao Mo at this moment, after a night of sleep, still couldn't wake up. This made Zhao Xiaoxi a little worried, but after the imperial doctor of the palace took the pulse, he told him that it was caused by excessive bleeding, and Zhao Xiaoxi was a little relieved.

Duan Yu, who accompanied Zhao Xiaoxi, looked at this pale-faced girl, and his heart was really not good. After understanding his own intentions, Duan Yu's feelings towards Zhao Yu were also changing rapidly.

Just when the two of them accompanied Mu Wanqing and the others, waiting to watch Zhao Yu in the Taiyi Pavilion. Wuwei sent news that Yelutu, the youngest prince of Da Liao, officially bid farewell to the lord of Western Xia. did not participate in the next marriage solicitation, and had to return to Daliao under the pretext of having something.

Hearing this news, Zhao Xiaoxi already knew from He Ranlian that these six people should be dead soldiers from the Great Liao. As for whether it was sent by Jelutu or Jeluqi, further investigation is needed.

From the spy sent by Wuwei to monitor, Yelutu's subordinates seemed to be normal, and they really felt that Western Xia was not safe, so they considered leaving one step earlier. I don't want to waste my time putting myself in danger.

As for Yeluqi, he is also preparing to leave. What makes Zhao Xiaoxi feel that Yeluqi's actions are a little different is that many of his guards are disguised as civilians and lurk in the imperial city one after another.

What he wants to do, Cho Hyo-seok doesn't know. But the murderous aura that flashed in Yeluqi's eyes last night, Zhao Xiaoxi still saw some of it. One is leaving openly, the other chooses to sneak away, who is the murderer is really worth thinking about.

Yeluqi's subordinates, Zhao Xiaoxi, have already handed over to Wu Wei to be in charge of monitoring. As for Yelutu wanting to leave at this moment, I should also ask him if he agrees. Before the truth is investigated, Zhao Xiaoxi will not let any of the suspects leave Xixia! (To be continued......)
