"What?" After listening to Meng Yang's report, Zhao Zongshi's reaction was the same, and his eyes were also dark, and he almost fainted.

Unable to put out the fire, he ordered someone to gather the palace guards.

"I went to the library with Mr. Meng earlier!" Zhao Zongqiu ordered.

Seven guards stepped forward.

"That's not all." Meng Yang had already gone through every picture after the fire in his heart.

"There's also a Zhou Heiqi." The guards looked at each other, and one of the leaders said, "I saw him fighting the fire with us just now." ”

"What about the others?" Zhao Zongqiu asked loudly: "Who saw Zhou Heiqi!" ”

The guards looked at each other, but they didn't know where the man had gone.

"Who carried me out?" Meng Yang asked with a gloomy face, not looking like he wanted to thank his life-saving benefactor.

"It seems to be Zhou Heiqi'......," the guards whispered.

"Who handed me that sweat towel?" Meng Yang asked again.

"It seems to be the ...... of Zhou Heiqi"

"There's something wrong with this person." Meng Yang said hatefully: "Eighty percent are spies!" "Eighty old lady is a child, Mr. Meng has been cautious all his life, who wants to be in the most fatal place?

"This eats something inside and out." Zhao Zongqiu said murderously: "I have to cut him with a thousand knives!" As he spoke, he roared angrily and said, "What are you doing in a daze, go find someone!" ”

"Also," Meng Yang thought about it again and again, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Search carefully, see if there are any books on the ground, as long as they are with words, take them all, whoever dares to hide them will be severely punished!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards dispersed in a hurry.

"Sir, don't worry." Lu Huiqing, who had been listening quietly on the side, said loudly: "Considering that the scene is chaotic during the firefighting, someone may take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, I will have people guard the gate early in the morning, and they are only allowed to enter and not go out." ”

Zhao Zongshi was very relieved when he heard this: "It's still Jifu who thinks carefully. Only then did I relax a little.

"Zhou Hei's seven families are in the south of the city," Meng Yang thought carefully, and said, "Hurry up and send someone to take a look." Even if he's not there, control his family first! ”

"I'll go." Zhao Zongqiu volunteered and left with a few guards.

"And ......" Meng Yang thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "While the city gate has not yet opened, quickly order Kaifeng Mansion to set up cards to intercept the city gates everywhere to prevent him from escaping!" ”

"This ......" Zhao Zongshi frowned, "It's no problem to give an order." There are ten gates in the capital city. Two water gates, tens of thousands of people who go out of Beijing a day, if you check them one by one, it will definitely cause an uproar, so how can I explain it? ”

"Let's just say that the thieves are rampant on the Shangyuan Festival, and in order not to affect the festive atmosphere, they have not been triggered, so that those who want to impeach the prince can also shut up." Meng Yang said: "Now the New Year is over. Naturally, we want to take the whole city away, and we can't let them go unpunished again! In order to prevent the gangsters from fleeing when they heard the news, they had to be checked at the city gate. After a pause, he said: "After dawn, the prince will inform the criminal department again and ask them to send people to cooperate with the search." ”

"That's very good." When Zhao Zongshi heard it, the reason was very sufficient. He nodded and said, "That's it." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time flies by, and the east slightly dews the belly of the fish.

The heart is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Zhao Zongshi and Meng Yang don't know, when was the fire extinguished? There are only two things they want to know now, one is the whereabouts of Hei Qi that week, and the other is the whereabouts of that booklet!

However, the results were disappointing, and the guards searched all over the palace. I didn't find Zhou Heiqi, but I found a lot of books, but there was no one they were looking for.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the guards made a new discovery: "Lord Wang." Traces of climbing were found on the south wall, and Zhou Heiqi should have run from there. ”

"Alas," Lu Huiqing stumbled when he heard this: "At that time, there were too few people in the house, and they only cared about the front and rear gates, and who would have thought that the three-zhang high wall would not be safe!" ”

Zhao Zongshi's heart was like a knife when he heard this, and he scolded secretly, I don't want to be this damn Kaifeng Mansion Yin, how can this kind of thing happen!

At this time, Zhao Zongqiu came back with someone, and said angrily: "Straight lady thief, there is no hair in the family that splashes and kills!" The neighbors said that their whole family went to the street to watch the lights last night, and they haven't come back yet! ”

"It's been planned for a long time, and the whole family has fled!" Meng Yang sneered: "That's fine, the more people, the easier it is to be discovered." ”

"Well," Zhao Zongshi nodded and said, "All the city gates have been informed, and the palace guards have also been sent, and they are difficult to fly!" ”

"Not bad!" Meng Yang nodded heavily, but his heart was full of confusion...... He knew that even if they were blocked in the city, the population of 1.5 million in Bianjing City would still be like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's worse is that even if you are lucky enough to find it, eighty percent of that thing is gone.

If it falls into the hands of the adversary...... Meng Yang shuddered, and his teeth couldn't help chattering.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Zongshi complained: "Mr. Tai is also troublesome, it is better to burn it with a fire, and it will be a hundred." ”

Meng Yang rolled his eyes, you regard that 'transfer book' as if it were the root of your life! If I hadn't saved it, I'd have blamed me!

But with so many people guarding, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "A thousand mistakes, it's all my fault, and when the matter is over, I will naturally ask the prince to punish him." ”

"Alas," Zhao Zongshi sighed, "I don't blame you either...... Forget it, everyone is tired, go back to sleep first, and wait for news. ”

"Lord Wang, do you want to let the patrol soldiers go back?" Lu Huiqing asked.

"Let them all shut up, who dares to confide in a little rumor......" Meng Yang was depressed and depressed, and he still had to think about Zhao Zongshi.

"I've told you all." Lu Huiqing said: "I ordered them to monitor each other, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, the whistleblower can be rewarded with 100,000 yuan!" ”

"Well, Jifu didn't say anything." Zhao Zongshi nodded, and said in his heart that he had found that Lu Huiqing was quite reliable, and it was a little comforting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Qi Wangfu and the Qingling County Wangfu are not far away, and last night Zhao Zongshi was red in half the sky, and Zhao Zongji naturally would not be unaware. He kindly asked the guards to help put out the fire, but was stopped at the door.

The guards came back and reported angrily that they really don't know the hearts of good people, and they deserve to be burned!

Zhao Zongji smiled and said: "People don't worry about you. But the two families are so close that if I don't pay attention to them, I really can't say anything. But if you send someone and they don't use it, it's none of my business. "After all these years of wind and rain, the hairy little prince in the past. It's thoroughly matured.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it, in case the fire burns to us." Zhao Zongji yawned and said, "The rest of the people are sleeping." ”

"Yes." The guards dispersed.

After the guards left, Zhao Zongji's face was solemn, and he paced around the study with his hands behind his back, as if he was still waiting for someone.

He couldn't help but lean back in his chair and take a nap. Suddenly, a soft knock was heard on the door. The head of the guard said in a low voice, "Master Xuanyu is back. ”

"Hurry up, please!" Zhao Zongshi rubbed his face. Shake the spirit.

As soon as he sat down, a man dressed in black and wearing a black scarf came in quietly, it was Chen Ke's fellow villager and friend, Su Shi's brother-in-law Xuanyu Monk! When Xuanyu stayed in Dali to study Buddhism, he actually had the intention of monitoring the Dali court for Chen Ke, and as a result, he stayed in Dali for five years.

This time, the King of Dian entered Beijing, worried that he would encounter danger, and implored this peerless master to escort him. Xuanyu couldn't get rid of it, and he also wanted to meet his friends, so he came with him.

Zhao Zongji and Xuanyu are also old friends, so naturally there is no need to be polite, so he said: "Really let Zhong Fang say it, Zhao Zongshi's family really had an accident!" ”

"Someone set it on fire." Xuanyu said lightly: "The poor monk follows the orders of the prince." Lurking on the courtyard wall of the palace of Qingling County, I saw someone carrying sulfur oil and setting fire to the backyard of the palace. ”

"And then?" Zhao Zongji asked.

"Later, I saw the arsonist climb the wall with his flying claws and escape from the palace." Xuanyu said: "The poor monk chased after him, only to see him turn east and west, and then go down the underground waterway." ”

"And then?"

Then I went down. After walking in the sewer for a while, he saw the man stop, and after a cup of tea, the man who joined him finally appeared...... The man had actually arrived early. But he was very cautious and his kung fu was also very high, and he kept secretly observing to make sure that no one was following before he appeared. ”

"It can be seen that the strong have their own strong players," Zhao Zongji smiled: "Didn't he still not find you?" ”

"The poor monk has been in Dali for five years and has learned the method of turtle breath in Tianlong Temple." Xuanyu didn't show off at all, but just explained the facts: "Otherwise, he will also find out." ”

"What do they say?" Zhao Zongji returned to the topic.

The connector asked him, "Did you get it?" The arsonist replied yes, and then asked, "Is my family okay?" Xuanyu said: "The person who connected said, don't worry, I have already placed them, and I will never be found, and I will not be wronged by them." ”

"The arsonist seemed to believe in him, so he said no more, but took a box out of his bosom, and handed it to him, saying, This is it." Xuanyu's memory is excellent, and he recalls it without fail: "After the man opened it and looked at it, he put it away and said, 'I will arrange for you to go out of the city in a few days, and you will do as you are told to keep you safe and sound.'" In a month's time, your family will be able to meet in the South, in a new capacity, of course. ’”

"The two of them walked away as they spoke, and I was afraid that the connector would notice, and I also remembered who he was, so I didn't follow." Xuanyu said again.

"Who?"

"Zhangdun!"

"Are you sure?"

"Although he is masked, his figure is very recognizable, his voice is also very distinctive, and he walks with a dragon and a tiger, which is unique in ten thousand, although I have not had much contact with him, but I am very impressed." Xuanyu said slowly: "The poor monk has been hearing since he was a child, and he thinks he will not recognize the wrong person. ”

"It seems that Wang Yan is making trouble." Zhao Zongji said slowly: "I don't know what this guy is going to do?" ”

Xuanyu said everything that should be said, and naturally didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

"It's been a hard night, go and rest." Zhao Zongji came back to his senses, this time he really yawned and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Amitabha." Xuanyu nodded, got up and went back to the house.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Zhao Zongji fell asleep in the study, feeling that he had just fallen asleep, he heard the chief of the guard knock on the door again: "Lord Wang, the prince is here......
