After seeing the Fu clan leave, Xu Ji smiled and said, "Let's go around again, as for that Ding Fei, let's not be in a hurry to interrogate first, first ask the prince to convince them to be anxious, that's the interesting thing." ”

Yu Ban said coldly: "Hmph, what the lord said makes sense, their gang of people have a good calculation, they know that they can't grasp the military power in the Chang'an region, so they will find a way to monitor our actions, Weinan is the only way to enter and exit Tongguan, with this Ding Fei here to keep an eye on, the movement of our army near Tongguan is clear, if you want to avoid their eyes and ears, then you are not allowed to take the waterway, and use Puban as a ferry, so that it is easier to expose the target." Now that this Ding Fei has committed such a thing, I see how they will end! It is best for the lord to take this opportunity to snatch the right to appoint administrative officials in Weinan and get a grasp of the military and political affairs, and then it will be a hundred. ”

Xu Ji didn't think about it so much, and when he was reminded by Yu Ban, he realized that he was really a little careless. From this it can be seen that he was indeed a little negligent, and it seems that after returning he should investigate in detail all the personnel appointments manipulated by Wang Zifu and his gang during this period, so as not to suffer a great loss in such a trivial matter in the future. After Xu Ji and Yu Ban dealt with the Zou family's affairs, they continued to move forward. The main thing is to go to the various gates to see the situation of the guards. Yu Ban's growth after the first battle in Luoyang is indeed surprising, the influence of Gao Shun has made him more and more of a shadow of a famous defensive general, and Chang'an City has undergone his maintenance in this section, the fortifications are much stronger than the original, especially the city wall, Xu Ji unexpectedly found that he saw the defensive weapon flying stone in Pingyuan City.

The power of this thing Xu Ji has seen it, and he was born to be the nemesis of siege vehicles and rushing vehicles, and Yuan Tan's siege troops at the beginning. It was under this thing that there were heavy casualties.

However, the thing that satisfied Xu Ji the most was that the appearance of the army in Chang'an City was now completely new. The original defenders of Chang'an were all respectful and respectful when they saw themselves, which can be seen in the depth of the forbidden effort. Suddenly. Yang Biaoxiu's father and son were found in the crowd out of the city, and they looked like they were going to travel far away.

When Xu Ji asked. Only then did I know that Yang Biao was to send Yang Xiu to study at the academy in Yingchuan, Yanzhou, in order to abide by the agreement. Yang Biao didn't want to come back, he wanted to stay in Yanzhou to do his studies.

looked at Yang Biao's indifferent appearance. Xu Ji also knew that he was already dead, and when he saw this, Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, from a certain point of view, Yang Biao's departure is also a good thing, otherwise staying here would be a situation where "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop". Yang Biao obviously understood that the first person Xu Ji would deal with in the future included Ma Teng, and Yang Biao, as the so-called friend of Ma Teng, was naturally better away from the land of right and wrong.

In the end, Yang Biao waved goodbye to Xu Ji with his son. Out of town.

Only then did he finish inspecting the east gate. Xu Ji and Yu Ban were about to go to the other city gates, but they saw a phantom running to Xu Ji panting, kneeling on the ground and saying, "Lord, just now we grabbed Ding Fei on the ground, and was killed by an unknown person on the way to be escorted!" Xu Ji and Yu Banyan looked at each other when they heard this: Is the enemy killing people so fast?

When Xu Ji and Yu Ban arrived in a hurry, Xu Wei had already led a group of city guards to stand there to maintain the scene, and there were many pedestrians around and there was a lot of discussion. Everyone had a worried look on their faces.

After all, the good days are not over for a few days.

If they knew that the person who was killed was actually a newly appointed official of the imperial court, they would be even more worried. Now Xu Ji's biggest concern is people's instability. He jumped off his horse, made a creaking sound on the snow, and walked over with a gloomy face.

Xu Wei's face was not good-looking, after all, this was the defense area he was responsible for. When such a thing happened, there was no light on his face.

Xu Ji patted Xu Wei on the shoulder to express comfort, and then walked to the scene of the murder. There were two corpses at the scene, one was Ding Fei. And the other one is a personal guard of Xu Jidi.

The guard's name was Zhang Cheng, and he was one of the first to raise troops with Xu Ji. is the most loyal to Xu Ji, thinking of Zhang Cheng's voice and smile. Xu Ji felt a pain in his heart.

Another good brother is gone.

Xu Ji was sad in his heart, he never thought that when he was about to fall into power, the good brother next to him would actually die. A wave of anger erupted, and Xu Ji secretly swore that he would not give up if he did not find out the murderer to avenge Zhang Cheng. Yu Ban knew the relationship between Xu Ji and these guards, and he couldn't help but feel sad. Xu Wei frowned on the side and said, "The lord sent a total of four phantoms, but one was killed and three were injured, and the remaining three have been sent back to the mansion for treatment." ”

Yu Ban was the most calm, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Wei, how many sneak attackers are there?" ”

Xu Wei said with a solemn face: "I asked the person who was least injured, and he told me that there were only two people in total. However, there was only one person who actually did it, and this person was a master of guns, and the other person was just watching from the sidelines, as if it was for the purpose of breaking off. Speaking of this, Xu Wei squatted down, pointed to the wounds of the two dead bodies and said, "Lord, please look, these two people were killed by one shot." And the technique is unique, and the entire throat is completely pierced. The same was true of the remaining three wounded, although the wounds were different, but they were completely pierced by a single shot. ”

Xu Jihe and Yu Ban squatted down and carefully examined the wound.

After a while, a look of horror flashed in the eyes of both of them at the same time: the sneak attacker is so clever. Xu Ji himself is recognized by the martial arts of the world, and he has a more intelligent vision, so he naturally has the most say in marksmanship, after reading it, he muttered for a long time and said: "The tip of the gun used by this person is not a double-edged dagger shape, but a four-edged shape, it seems that this person's marksmanship is mainly stabbed, which is the same as my marksmanship from Shu Zhichuan, but I think this person's marksmanship is another mystery." Yu Ban said with palpitations: "Lord, the shadow is the most elite army in my Yanzhou, everyone has the level of a general, especially the lord's personal guard, although there is still a certain distance from the first-rate generals, but the four of them join forces, even if it is the martial arts of General Gao Shun, it is not possible to kill two people in a row and injure three people in one move, this kind of skill is only afraid that only a super-first-class general can do it." ”

Xu Ji fully agreed: "That's right, although I am sure to defeat this person, it will also take some trouble. If he still has reservations, maybe I will fight to the death. After a pause, he calculated: "Although there are many masters of guns in the world. But there are only a handful of people who are distinctive and can reach this state, not to mention me. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren are out of the same class, and I have seen Zhang Ren's shot, and they will definitely not reach this realm; Zhang He's family marksmanship is based on momentum, and Li Yan's marksmanship is entirely based on tricks. Zhang Liao's marksmanship is completely military marksmanship, pay attention to a fast word, Ma Teng's marksmanship is shocking, can achieve this realm, but the problem is that Ma Teng's marksmanship is to give full play to the characteristics of the gun, not just stabbing as simple. But this man's marksmanship is completely different from these people's. He frowned again and pondered: "What's more." I can't think of any reason why they killed Ding Fei.

Xu Wei reminded on the side: "If they simply want to disturb the security of my Chang'an, they have a reason to do so. Yu Ban shook his head and said: "You can only explain the second question of the lord, but you can't explain the first question, and this Ding Fei was escorted to Sikong Mansion immediately after we detained him, and now he died on the way to Sikong Mansion, which means that this Ding Fei is under the surveillance of others all the time, otherwise how could he start so quickly?" ”

Xu Ji continued: "In other words, after this Ding Fei was caught by us, the other party was very nervous. That's why he wanted to kill people and kill people, but Ding Fei had a small Weinan order. What does it have to do with the princes of the earth? There is no need for these people to do anything. Unless this Ding Fei has other secrets. Xu Wei replied in a deep voice when he heard this: "I'll send someone to investigate." ”

Yu Ban said angrily: "You kid is still a little uncontrollable, don't you want to know why we caught this Ding Fei?" ”

Xu Wei was stunned, and Yu Ban gave him a simple explanation. Xu Wei nodded and said, "I see, so to speak." Now the most suspicious person is Wang Zifu and others. Because the prince obeyed them, they were afraid that we would use this matter to drive a wedge between them and Zhang Xiuzhi, who had not yet established a relationship. Destroy their good deeds. And the control of the eighth lieutenant of the West Park is in their hands. ”

Xu Ji nodded approvingly.

Yu Ban asked, "However, what I'm curious about is that there really are such masters in the other party's army?" Xu Ji smiled thoughtfully: "This is also what I find strange. This thing is really incredible, I think it's better to leave it to Huan Fan to worry about it. I'll go back to him now. ”

With that, he glanced sadly at the ghostly corpse lying in a pool of blood.

After such a fuss. Xu Ji was in a bad mood, and he ordered a few words to the two of them who felt faceless. Then he hurried back home.

When I returned to the house, I met the Yin family who was curling Nana. Xu Ji was really not in the mood to play with her at this time. Reluctantly said hello, and went to find Huan Fan. His gloomy face frightened Yin Shihua's complexion, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Xu Ji naturally didn't bother to explain, and it was a good thing to ask Yin to worry.

After looking for a long time, I realized that Huan Fan had not come back at all, he had always been there in Yangsong, and Xu Ji was helpless.

returned to the front hall, but met Xun Yu and Zhuge Jin. Seeing Xu Ji, Xun Yu asked about the murder. It seems that he also saw the bad effects of this matter, so he put down all his things and ran to him to ask.

Xu Ji didn't expect him to know so quickly, so he simply explained the situation, and Xun Yu couldn't think of why. Xu Ji sighed and said: "This matter is really quite tricky, anyway, Ding Fei is an official appointed by the Holy Lord, although he should not molest the Zou family, but now he is dead in our hands." All of a sudden, we became passive. If I am not mistaken, Wang Zifu and others are now rushing to us to ask me about the guilt.

Before Xun Yu could speak, a servant came in to report that the prince was outside and asked to see him.

Xu Ji smiled bitterly at Xun Yu and said, "How?" Sure enough, as I expected," Xun Yu said coldly when he heard this: "They are easy to deal with, I am only afraid that this matter will affect our business, by the way, the lord should not forget the banquet tonight." ”

Xu Ji nodded and went to the front hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the prince was sitting there angrily, Xu Ji sneered in his heart, and said coldly: "It turned out to be the prince in the suit, what a rare guest, coming to the cold house today, it is really brilliant." As soon as Wang Zifu saw Xu Ji, he stood up abruptly and shouted: "Lord Sikong, Ding Fei is the Weinan Order appointed by the Holy Lord himself, and now he is dead on the way to Sikong Mansion, Lord Sikong wants to give me an explanation!" ”

Xu Ji scolded in his heart: Aren't people killed by you? And now they still come to me to ask for someone! If it is really the wicked, the first to sue is sued. It's a pity that I have no evidence, so I think of this. Xu Ji said indifferently: "Lord Wang." You're kind of funny, and you're too broad, aren't you? Since this Ding Fei was appointed by the Holy Lord. So it should be the Holy One who asks the sinner, right? What right do you have to shout at Sikong? Hmph, aren't you afraid that Sikong will treat you for the following crimes? ”

The prince obeyed the words. couldn't help but suffocate, and immediately said angrily: "Ding Fei is a good friend of this official, and his friend died. My friend should run and cry out, should he stand by and watch? Xu Ji didn't bother to play with him, so he cut straight to the point, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Lord Wang, think about it carefully, if this friend of yours is walking on the road well, what am I going to do with him?" I don't know him? ”

Wang Zifu sneered: "Lord Sikong is too modest. Who doesn't know that Sikong is the most well-informed person in the world? Isn't it easy to make up a crime? Naturally, the words were secretly satirizing Xu Ji's many secret agents. Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this. took a closer look at Wang Zifu's face and found that this Wang Zifu was really angry, not the kind of fake anger that deliberately looked for trouble after killing people, which made Xu Ji very strange.

Could it be that Wang Zifu thought that he had premeditated to arrest Ding Fei, and wanted to use Ding Fei to open the knife and kill Ding Fei to establish his authority? Could it be that the killing of Ding Fei has nothing to do with the prince's suit?

If this is the case, then the main purpose of the prince's submission is definitely not to ask the teacher for guilt, but to test himself. Ding Fei's official position is small. But the position is crucial, and now that he is dead in the hands of Xu Jidi, of course Liu Xie and the others will panic. even thought that Xu Ji was ready to launch a coup d'état.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji asked, "Dare to ask Lord Wang, do you know what Ding Fei did?" ”

Wang Zifu decided that Xu Ji was deliberately targeting himself. He said angrily: "Is Ding Fei's crime in the mouth of Lord Sikong soon?" Xu Ji felt more and more strange. He found that Wang Zifu didn't know the whole story at all, if this Wang Zifu was acting, then his acting skills were too good. So he explained: "Ding Fei molested the women of the good family in public, and the person who was molested was Zou, the wife of General Zhang Ji." ”

After Xu Ji said this. Then he looked at the prince's clothes, and saw that the latter's face immediately turned pale. Unable to believe it, he shouted, "What did you say? ”

Xu Ji became more and more sure of his conjecture. Obviously, Wang Zifu also knew the severity of this matter, which was tantamount to angering Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu. cut off the possibility of cooperation between Liu Xie and Zhang Xiu.

Xu Ji sneered: "Lord Wang, do you understand this time?" ”

Although he didn't finish speaking, Wang Zifu had already read Xu Ji's subtext: Xu Ji would never kill Ding Fei, and from Xu Ji's standpoint, he should use this matter to make a big fuss. And even if Xu Ji kills Ding Fei, what's the use? As long as Liu Xie is willing, he can get the second Ding Fei and the third Ding Fei out, and he can still be the Weinan Order.

Xu Ji looked at the prince's clothes and sneered, "Lord Wang." Have you ever thought that if I, Xu Ji, killed Ding Fei, wouldn't it be a great rebellion? Killing the officials of the imperial court at will, and it was the Holy One who personally accepted his fate, Lord Wang, where do you want to put me in such a way and say this? The prince calmed his mind for a while, knowing that he had fallen behind, and said in his heart Fortunately, Ding Fei was dead, and there was no proof of death, and the unknown murderer was considered to have solved a big trouble for himself, although because of the relationship between the Zou family, it was impossible for him to splash this basin of murderous dirty water on Xu Ji, but he could avoid the tragic result of not being able to cooperate with Zhang Xiu because of the fact that Zou was molested.

Anyway, Zou is a well-known amorous woman, although no one has ever seen her have a ** relationship with anyone, but this woman is always unwilling to be lonely, every time she makes the city full of wind and rain, now Ding Fei is dead, Xu Ji is dead without proof, even if you want to make a big fuss about this matter and transfer Zhang Xiu, you also have room for maneuver. At the moment, he reluctantly said coldly: "Lord Sikong is really good at reasoning, now that Ding Fei is dead, Lord Sikong can say whatever he wants, but I believe that this matter will come to light one day, no matter what, Lord Sikong is the person in charge of the transfer of soldiers and horses in the world, and now that this kind of thing has happened in Chang'an, Lord Sikong is not easy to explain to the saint, I hope Lord Sikong can be busy giving a reasonable explanation and leave!" ”

Xu Ji smiled indifferently, it was a send-off, and he didn't even owe his body a little. This prince's suit is lustful, in fact, Xu Ji already knew that no matter whether Ding Fei was killed by someone in the prince's suit, what they want to do most now is to calm things down, and they don't want to make a big deal about it, otherwise it will really not be possible for Zhang Xiu to go over.

It is conceivable that tomorrow morning, even if someone mentions this matter, Liu Xie and the others will choose to avoid it.

However, Xu Ji is now worried about another thing: if Ding Fei is really not killed by someone from the prince's suit, then who is the real murderer? And what secret does this Ding Fei know, which makes the other party scared and immediately stops, for fear that he will know?

Xu Ji was completely confused.

Could it be that there is still a black hand behind Chang'an, just like when he was in Yanzhou?

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but shudder, he still remembered very well that someone was calculating himself behind his back at that time. At this time, Xu Ji couldn't help but think of Xun Yu, and the suspicions that he had already let go of beat again, if the people who calculated him were not Cao Cao and Liu Bei, then there would only be people under his command.
