Another black shadow flashed from the forbidden area, but unlike the first time, this time it was in the direction of departure.

The effort was not great, and there was a sudden commotion in the forbidden area, and soon the lights were bright, and countless people were running around in the prison shouting.

The wind was howling, the rain was falling, and the night was blank.

Zhao Tianci came to the palace panting, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with you calling me here in such a hurry?" ”

Xizong's face was pale, and his eyebrows kept jumping, "There is something big going on in the city, do you know?" ”

Zhao Tianci looked left and right, there were a lot of soldiers who were not seen here, "Your Majesty, I just came back from outside, and there was a fire in a house in the city, so I took someone to put out the fire." ”

Xi Zong said, "Do you know whose house it is?" ”

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and I know only a limited number of people, and I don't know whose mansion it is." ”

Xizong said in a deep voice, "That's Wanyan Liang's mansion!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Tianci responded casually, and Xizong looked at him directly, "Why aren't you surprised?" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "There is nothing surprising. It's easy to walk in the capital, and I've already learned it. This time it was similar, and many people inside also died in the fire. ”

Xizong stared at him for a moment and asked, "Do you know that there are assassins in the Heavenly Prison, and all the Wan Yanliang family members who are imprisoned there have been poisoned, and ...... The young patriarch of the four tribes also had his throat cut! ”

Zhao Tianci looked left and right, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, haven't the people of the four tribes been killed by Wan Yan Liang?" ”

Xizong was stunned for a moment, "This ...... This one...... I told you that Wan Yanliang killed the young patriarch of the four tribes, but that was to deceive the people of the four tribes. ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Then what else is the emperor worried about?" ”

Xizong said, "Now not only are the people sent by the four tribes dead, but even Wan Yanliang's family members are also dead, and there are also relatives of Taishi Zongwang, how can I face the people of the world?" ”

Zhao Tianci said curiously, "Didn't the emperor hope that King Hailing's vein would be broken?" Isn't this exactly what the emperor wants? ”

Xizong was speechless after a long time, "I asked you to come here just to ask you to help me learn more about the origin of the perpetrator." ”

Zhao Tianci asked cautiously, "Isn't it the emperor?" ”

Xizong frowned and said, "You think so too?" ”

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "It's not just me who thinks like this, but everyone thinks like this." However, the impact of this matter should not be too great, Wan Yan Liang has already left the city, the news will not reach him so quickly, the emperor has sent someone to inform the four departments, the young patriarch was killed by Wan Yan Liang, in fact, all this should be like this, but the emperor may have other considerations, so ......"

Xizong's brows furrowed more and more, "I did mean to do this, but if it doesn't work, I still have a way to go, and as soon as this matter comes out, there will be no way out." ”

Zhao Tianci bowed his head and was silent, and Xizong said, "Since the matter has come to this, there is only a temporary blockade of the news." ”

"Hasn't the emperor blocked the news yet?" Zhao Tianci asked.

Xizong glanced at him with a complicated expression, and was about to speak, when the guards outside the hall said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, someone in the Taishi Mansion is asking to see the emperor!" ”

"Come in!" Xizong waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, Taishi...... Taishi...... Gone! A man dressed in white stumbled in from outside the temple, fell to his knees with a thud, and wept bitterly.

"What?" Xizong exclaimed, "How is it possible? ”

The man fell to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the master can't see, and suddenly blood spurts from his mouth at night, and he has ...... It's already immortal! ”

Xizong's face turned pale, and he stared blankly in the direction of the entrance of the main hall, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty......" Zhao Tianci saw that he had been silent for a long time, and called softly.

"What's the matter?" Xizong came back to his senses, glanced at him and asked.

"Your Majesty, it will be late today, I have been to the Taishi's mansion, the Taishi is suffering from a strange illness, and his eyes can't see, but ...... It won't deteriorate so quickly......" Zhao Tianci said carefully.

"Have you been to see the Taishi?" Heejong asked thoughtfully.

"Yes!"

"The Taishi once said that I was unwell, so I should go over and visit me in person!" Xizong sighed with regret.

"Your Majesty, since he knows that he is sick, it is reasonable for his condition to deteriorate, what do you say?" Zhao Tianci thought for a while and said.

"Alright, you go back first! I'll summon you at any time. Xizong waved his hand a little absentmindedly, and Zhao Tianci bowed and retreated.

The blizzard did not stop overnight until the next day, when the streets of Shangjing City were completely covered with thick snow, and almost every household could not open their doors.

The men of the City Defense Department began to clear the snow from house to house and street by street, but strange things happened.

As they cleared deeper, a large number of corpses began to appear under the snow, and judging by the way those people were dressed, they should be soldiers in the army.

As soon as this news came out, the whole city shook, and Xizong came to the scene to check it out in person.

For a whole day, all the streets in Shangjing were cleaned up, but the corpses that were cleaned up were also piled up in the streets and alleys, as many as seven or eight thousand.

Xizong soon posted a notice to the people, saying that someone had attempted to rebel last night and had been exterminated by the imperial court, so that the people should not make a fuss.

In this way, although the people's hearts have been temporarily calmed down and various rumors have been reduced, this notice is still too far-fetched for those who have a heart. At least there is one thing that the court did not explain, and that is why they did not go to the scene after exterminating the rebels, but left their bodies covered in snow and ignored.

Soon, all kinds of talk in the city heated up again.

There was not too much snow around Zhao Tianci's Warm Fragrance Pavilion, and that was because his guards kept cleaning up, and the heavy snow did not stay.

The guards had been busy all night, and he had barely slept all night. These things that happened, I feel weird when I think about it, there must be something wrong.

Liuli and Yuban stayed with him all night, he didn't sleep, and neither of them slept, which made Zhao Tianci quite moved, so he simply told them his questions one by one to see if he could help him find useful clues.

"We haven't had any problems all the way here, and we shouldn't arouse the suspicion of others!" Ruri said with a frown.

Jade Spot said, "Yes, what's the problem?" Or did we think too much about it, and Wan Yan didn't suspect us at all? ”

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "He must be suspicious of us, I'm absolutely sure of that!" ”

Liuli said, "When I mentioned the matter of the White Tatar Department with Miss An, I specially told her that the White Tatar Department and the Han people live together, and they have basically been sinicized, and it is difficult to distinguish, the best way is to imprison them all, Miss An also did this, there should be no problem." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "It can't be that there is a problem there, otherwise we would not have been able to reach Shangjing safely." He thought for a moment and asked, "Will anyone here recognize you?" ”

Ruri shook her head and said, "No way!" Since Yan Yan forced my father to death, everyone in my family fled to avoid the disaster, and my sister and I were the last to leave. ”

Jade Ban asked, "Do you want to call that senior girl to ask again?" By the way, what did she say last time that made you suspicious? ”

Master Li came to him, he didn't tell the two of them in detail, and the two of them also didn't ask, now thinking of this place, Zhao Tianci couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, could it be that she misled herself?

Liuli said, "Did she tell you anything?" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "She just told me that there was a man who was very good with her who was missing, and it was said that he was a guest in Wanyan Liang's mansion, and when Wanyan Liang went out of the city this time, it was this person who went south." ”

Liuli thought for a while and said, "The person who is good with her, it must be a Song person, what's your name?" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Zhou Bangyan! ”

"Huh?" Liuli and Jade Spot were shocked at the same time, "He...... His name is Zhou Bangyan? ”

Zhao Tianci saw that their expressions were exaggerated and a little out of shape, so he asked strangely, "Have you seen this person?" ”

Liuli said, "He...... Our enlightenment teacher is called Zhou Bangyan, I don't know...... Isn't it this person? ”

Zhao Tianci was stunned for a moment, "Do you remember how old he is and what he looks like?" ”

"He seems to be about thirty years old, and he does a good job, and he is said to be very famous in the south." ”

Yuban said, "That's not right, Teacher Zhang...... After Zhang Xiaoxian came, he left, and it is said that he left the capital and went to other places. ”

Liuli also said, "I also think this is unlikely, we have only seen a limited number of people, if it is really Mr. Zhou, we will never be able to recognize it." ”

Zhao Tianci kept frowning and pondering, and when he heard this, he said, "If it was really him, he shouldn't have seen you." ”

Jade Ban breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But it scares me to death, if our identity is recognized, it will be troublesome." ”

Ruri also nodded.

Zhao Tianci said, "Now judging from all aspects, their suspicion of my identity should also be related to you." It is precisely because you have not been 100% confirmed that so far everything is speculation, otherwise we would not have been able to sit still until now. ”

"What then?" Ruri and Jade Spot asked at the same time.

Zhao Tianci said, "If my prediction is correct, then Zhou Bangyan must have learned about our situation from Wan Yanliang's mouth, and then made some speculations, and he went to the south to investigate the White Tatar tribe, probably to verify this matter." ”

Liuli hurriedly said, "You can't let him go to the White Tatar tribe, otherwise he will be in trouble." ”

Zhao Tianci smiled, "Don't worry, he can't get there." ”

Jade Ban glanced at him and asked timidly, "You...... Will you kill him? ”

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "Don't say that he is still your master, even if there is no such relationship, I will not kill him." ”

Liuli pursed her lips, "You won't also fall in love with that Master Li, will you?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Tianci was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "I didn't share a woman's hobby with others!" ”

Liuli and Yuban glanced at each other, a red cloud swelled up on their faces, and they smiled sweetly. (To be continued.) )
