Chapter 383: Something has to be done
Fang Xiaozhou stood up from the roof, and then jumped down gently, his big red brocade robe swaying, and his cloak dancing in the wind, looking like a deep flame quietly rising in the dark night. He was so fast, but he couldn't see how fast his feet were, and he was far behind the secret spy, always with a gentle smile on his face.
The spy was running fast, but he was already gasping for air. Running back to the long street from the palace in one go, he habitually turned into a small alley, and did not return directly to Shen Ji Rice Shop, but began to cross back and forth in the alleys of Jiangdu Dongcheng. Fang Xiaozhou looked relaxed and followed behind, becoming more and more interested in the people of Yanyun Village.
When the sweat soaked all the clothes, the spy suddenly stopped in front. He stood on the long street and turned slowly.
"How did you find me?"
Fang Xiaozhou tightened his cloak and habitually retracted his two hands into the cloak.
"I didn't find you."
The spy looked at Fang Xiaozhou coldly and said, "Have you ever been targeted by a dog, if you have, you will know why I know that you are following me." ”
Fang Xiaozhou's smile turned cold: "You people in Yanyun Village, are you all idiots?" ”
The spy slowly pulled out the horizontal knife tied to his back, walked slowly towards Fang Xiaozhou, and said as he walked: "Some guys who follow other people's butts and think they are very proud are real idiots. ”
"I'm getting more and more interested in Li Xian."
Fang Xiaozhou said.
"You're not qualified yet."
After the spy said this, he jumped up and slashed at the top of Fang Xiaozhou's head. The secret spies of the three departments are all good, especially the people who are responsible for rescuing and assassinating, and everyone is a real master. This knife is gaining momentum, and the speed is already staggering. Fang Xiaozhou just turned sideways and got out of the way, and then said with a smile: "It's too slow!" ”
The spy blade turned, and he thought about Fang Xiaozhou's throat. Fang Xiaozhou's right hand suddenly poked out of his cloak, pinched the horizontal knife and pulled it in front of him. The spy couldn't control his figure, and was pulled over by Fang Xiaozhou. Fang Xiaozhou let go of his fingers, clenched his fist, and slammed it on the secret spy's chest. With a bang, the spy flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. flew straight out four or five meters, and the spy slammed to the ground.
Fang Xiaozhou stepped forward and stepped on the chest of the secret spy.
"Vegetable market, which one?"
He asked.
"You-Mom's house."
The spy replied.
Fang Xiaozhou was stunned, and then he exerted force on his feet, and with a click, the secret spy's ribs were crushed twice. Sharp pain came from between his chest and abdomen, and the secret spy couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't help but hold back and didn't cry out. With a quick movement, he pulled out a dagger from the strap of his calf and stabbed it at Fang Xiaozhou's calf. Fang Xiaozhou's legs lifted, then fell, and stomped on the hand of the secret spy holding the dagger, with a few soft sounds, and the bones of his hand were broken a lot by him.
"You don't have to say it, it's a big deal that I'll clean up all the stores in the vegetable market."
"Anyway, I can keep you from dying."
Fang Xiaozhou said seriously.
"But I knew you were going to die!"
The spy twisted his body violently, and his left hand and finger slashed at Fang Xiaozhou's leg bone. Fang Xiaozhou's movements were not faster than him, and he kicked him in the lower abdomen, and the spy was kicked and rubbed out on the ground, making a tooth-aching friction sound.
Just as Fang Xiaozhou stepped forward and was about to continue the questioning, two crossbow arrows suddenly shot from the roof on the side of the road, one shot at Fang Xiaozhou's heart, and the other shot at the heart of the secret spy. Fang Xiaozhou waved his cloak to block the crossbow arrows, but he couldn't block the other. The spy was shot through the heart by an arrow, and he convulsed a few times and then died, but before he died, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was intriguing.
Fang Xiaozhou knew where the crossbow arrows came from, and only saw a repeater. No one fled in the night, and he listened intently and did not hear footsteps. Fang Xiaozhou's face immediately became gloomy, and he jumped from the roof, pinching all the four sleeping family members in this dwelling to death.
Just when Fang Xiaozhou jumped into the courtyard, the strong man in the shipyard appeared next to the dead spy, he squatted down and took a closer look, only to see that on the ground, the spy wrote the word "Jiang" before he died. There is still a word left unwritten at the back, and I can't see what it is. The man erased the handwriting with his foot, then turned and fled into the darkness.

An hour after the old shopkeeper left, Jia'er, who was sitting by the window, sighed, a trace of sadness flashed between her eyebrows, she got up and walked to the window, tied the package that had been sorted out behind her back, and then went downstairs and nodded to the six or seven spies who were sitting downstairs waiting for news, and the spies stood up, and everyone had a slightly sad look on their faces. They knew that the old shopkeeper was afraid that he would never return to this rice shop.
Less than half an hour after Jia'er left with the spies, the red-robed secret guards of the brigade swarmed in. They arrived here with a spy who had been wounded in multiple places, but couldn't stand the torture after all. The spy glanced at the signboard of Shen Ji's rice shop ashamedly, and then raised his finger with difficulty.
Fang Xiaozhou nodded, and a large number of red-robed secret guards broke through the door.
searched the Shen Ji rice shop, but could not find anyone. Fang Xiaozhou's face was slightly cold, and the smile that often hung on his face gradually froze.
"Burned"
He said two words coldly.
"The houses are connected, if they set fire, I'm afraid that the people in the other shops will also be burned alive, so I'm afraid that Jiangdu Mansion will investigate, and ...... when the time comes."
The Dark Guard Brigade who was talking suddenly stopped, and Fang Xiaozhou threw a bloody tongue in his hand on the ground, and then crushed it into a small puddle of meat with his foot: "Mouthy." ”
He said two words lightly.
The secret guards behind didn't dare to speak anymore, so they took out the fire fold and went into the rice shop to light the fire everywhere, and soon the flames rose. Fang Xiaozhou watched Shen Ji Rice Shop turn into a big fire and then slowly turned around, and then walked in the direction of the palace, as he walked, he commanded: "From today onwards, the dark guards will no longer only live in the dark, I will let the red robe burn all over the river capital like a raging fire." Go back and kill all the people in the room, and don't leave any of them. When a person dies, the palace will soon send someone to make up for it. Your Majesty, I will naturally explain. ”
"Whoa!"
Hundreds of secret guards answered neatly, and then quickly ran in the direction of the palace. In the darkness of the night, under the firelight, they swept by like a red cloud.
After the dark guards left, many people woke up from the flames. People shouted and fled, and from time to time people wailed, their families still in their rooms. In the crowd, the stout shipyard craftsmen clenched their fists, then turned and walked away slowly. He was thinking as he walked in his head, Jiang, what do you mean?
At the same time as he turned to leave, Jia'er, who had changed into clothes, also turned around and left in the crowd. She frowned, thinking about the words of the red-robed demon man.
Dark Guards?
She frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

After Pei Ju learned that his most trusted housekeeper Huashan was missing, he immediately sent someone to inform Wang Jiushan, the warden of Jiangdu County. The housekeeper in Lord Pei Ju's mansion disappeared, Wang Jiushan naturally did not dare to delay, and immediately summoned all the officials of Jiangdu Mansion overnight and ordered them to look for them immediately. was called up in the middle of the night, and the officials scolded Wang Jiushan's eighty generations of ancestors in their hearts. It's just that they don't dare to slack off and prevaricate, after all, they are the housekeepers in Lord Pei Ju's mansion.
The officials who scattered out had not yet found anything, but they saw a fire on the other side of the vegetable market. A few catchers hurriedly rushed over with their apprentices, and when they arrived, Shen Ji's rice shop had been burned to ashes. There was not a single corpse in the rice shop, but many people were burned alive in the adjacent houses.
Not long after, Jiangdu County Shouwang Jiushan came in person. After pacifying the people, he was just about to go back to his house to rest, when suddenly a gang of idle people ran over panting, saying that they had found Huashan, but what they found was a corpse. Wang Jiushan hurriedly led people to the place where the body was found, which turned out to be in an abandoned and uninhabited courtyard in the small alley at the back gate of Pei's mansion. Hua Shan had obviously been beaten, and there were scars all over his body, and the fatal part was in the neck, and his throat was cut with a knife.
Hua Shan's clothes were torn and messy, and the valuable things on his body were looted. Based on his many years of experience, Wang Jiushan judged that this was a heinous case of murder, robbery, and robbery of property.
Pei Ju didn't believe it, Huashan was the housekeeper of Pei's Mansion, and almost no one knew him here, and who didn't know that he was from Pei's Mansion among the hundreds of residents in this vicinity? Knowing that it is Pei's house, who would dare to kill people and rob money?
His first reaction was that Huashan was killed by someone sent by Wang Qinian. But he couldn't think of why Wang Qinian did this, and at this time, someone suddenly came to report that Xianxianglou was burned. Just when Wang Jiushan found out to check Huashan's body, smoke came out of the Xianxiang Building a few hundred meters away, and by the time people arrived, the flames had already come out quite high.
There was not a single charred corpse in the building, which made Pei Ju feel a little frightened in his heart. He didn't know what was going on, but he was worried that those bandits from Yanyun Village would do something bad for him.
Just when Wang Jiushan led people into the abandoned courtyard to check the corpse, Fang Xiaozhou took dozens of red-robed secret guards to the Xianxiang Building.
When Fang Xiaozhou entered the door, he was surprised, it was late at night, but the main hall of Xianxianglou was lit with lights, and a letter was placed on the table not far from the lamp, and a line of extremely ugly words was written crookedly on the letter.
"Yang Guang's lackeys, you're late. If you have the ability to go to Dongjun to find me, you are always welcome. If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, your grandfather Li Mi. ”
Fang Xiaozhou's face became more and more gloomy, and he immediately ordered to search Xianxianglou, and after finding nothing, he ordered someone to burn Xianxianglou clean.
On a Qinglou flower boat by the river, Wang Qinian looked at Jia'er and said solemnly: "We can't deal with this matter anymore, we must let someone from the village send it." ”
Jia'er hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I want to go to the Huanyi room again tomorrow." ”
"No way!"
Wang Qinian frowned and said, "Why are you so stupid?" Even I can see that there is a team of men and horses in the palace that are comparable to Long Tingwei, why do you have to take the risk yourself? ”
Jia'er shook her head slowly and said, "I have to do something, I can't just wait for someone from the village to come." If you don't find out more clearly, I'm afraid that the people from the village will also suffer. ”
