Late at night, Di Renjie lay on the bed and tossed and turned, constantly thinking about whether it was right or wrong for him to act like this, after all, the last time he helped Shalkin, he was very self-blaming and guilty!

Although his original intention was for the sake of the people of Da Zhou and the Turks, he never thought that he would fall for Shalkin's tricks, and now in the face of Mo Si, Di Renjie couldn't help but worry that he would repeat the mistakes of the past, but judging from all the current gains, Mo Si didn't seem to be lying, and after thinking about it for a long time, Di Renjie decided to gamble again!

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is also late at night at this time, and the drums and drums above the tower are beating three watches, and the cold wind of the shouting sign blows the lights and shadows of the various mansions in the city!

In front of a mansion in the southern city of Shendu, the vermilion lacquer door is closed, and the swaying lantern reflects the plaque on the lintel, and the word 'Chen Mansion' on the plaque flickers and shines!

This is the mansion of Chen Ziqing, the secretary of the Great Zhou Sinong Temple, and it was late at night, and the people in the house had already fallen asleep, and there was a dead silence in the Chen Mansion!

Just when the night was quiet, a black shadow fell on the courtyard wall of the Chen Mansion, the shadow moved slowly, and suddenly the black shadow flashed and disappeared into the darkness!

Soon, the black shadow appeared again, and this time there was a steel knife in his hand that flashed with cold light, and he saw that the black shadow was like a ghost, and he came to the door of the main house in the backyard in a few flashes!

The steel knife in the black shadow's hand gently inserted into the crack in the door, the blade shook slightly, the door latch was cut open a little bit, the black shadow gently pushed the door open, and his body rolled forward suddenly, without making a sound!

It seemed that the door opened and brought in a trace of cold wind, and a man sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, only to see a masked man dressed in black standing in front of the door, and the steel knife in his hand was still shining with a terrifying cold light!

This man was Chen Ziqing, Sinong Siqing, Chen Ziqing said in horror: "You, you, who are you?" ”

The man in black said coldly: "The one who sent you on the road! ”

As he spoke, the man in black raised the steel knife in his hand, Chen Ziqing screamed, hurriedly jumped off the bed, didn't have time to put on his shoes, stepped back step by step, and said in horror: "You, you, don't come here!" I, I, I'm an official of the imperial court, if you kill me, that's going to connect the nine clans! ”

The man in black didn't seem to care, the black turban, the black cloth covered, and only a pair of wolf eyes shining with a ghostly light approached Chen Ziqing step by step!

Chen Ziqing had already retreated to the wall at this time, and there was no way to retreat

, trembling like chaff, "You, who are you?" ”

The man in black let out a sinister smile that made Chen Zi cold to the bone, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you're going to die soon!" But I can give you a piece of advice, don't talk too much in the next life! ”

Chen Ziqing suddenly said: "I know, you are, you are ......"

The clouds dispersed, the bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight reflected Chen Ziqing's figure, and at this moment, a cold light flashed, and the figureless figure was still cast on the wall, blood splashed out, but Chen Ziqing's head rolled to the side!

The man in black rubbed the steel knife on Chen Ziqing's body, calmly put away the steel knife and left Chen Ziqing's bedroom!

The subordinates heard the movement of Chen Ziqing's bedroom, and rushed to check, saw that the door of Chen Ziqing's room was open, and hurriedly rushed into the house, but saw that Chen Ziqing had already been in a different place, and several subordinates were stunned by the bloody scene in front of them. ”

In the Shendu at night, except for the people from the Chen Mansion and the man in black, no one knew that the dignified Zhou Sinong Siqing had died next to his bed, and the owner of another mansion in the Shendu didn't know that his death was approaching!

A mansion that is also located in the southern city of the Divine Capital, although it is only two streets away from the Chen Mansion, they don't know anything about what happened in the Chen Mansion!

This mansion is the mansion of Qu Xing, the servant of the Great Zhou Officials, the courtyard is also a dead silence, Qu Xing's bedroom is in the east wing courtyard of the house, at this time Qu Xing's bedroom door is projecting a black shadow, the black shadow is getting bigger and bigger, Qu Xing and his wife are sleeping together in the room, completely unaware of the danger approaching!

Suddenly, the door opened, a black shadow flashed in, the black shadow pulled out the steel knife, a little closer to the bed, the woman on the bed seemed to feel that someone came in, quickly opened her eyes, sat up, and suddenly saw a black-clothed man holding a steel knife appeared in front of her, the woman screamed, and the sleeping Qu Xing woke up when she heard the sound, and hurriedly got up, but saw that the man in black had come closer!

Qu Xing hurriedly blocked his wife with his body, and said in a panic: "Who are you, what do you want to do?" ”

The man in black sneered, "What are you doing? It's already like this, can't Master Qu still see it? ”

Qu Xing knew that he was in a catastrophe, but he changed his panic just now, and said, "Who sent you?"

Do you know that this official is my official on the fourth rank of the court, and it is a serious crime for you to kill me, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will track it down? ”

"Master Qu, I didn't expect to be so calm when I was dying, do you want to know who is going to kill you? When you get to the Netherworld, you'll naturally know! The man in black said coldly!

Before the words fell, the cold light flashed, and the head of Qu Xing, the servant of the ministry, immediately flew out, and blood sprayed his wife's face, and Mrs. Qu, who was already frightened, was even more frightened at this time, opening her mouth wide, but she couldn't make any sound at all!

The man in black continued to say coldly: "Seeing that you couple are deeply in love, I will do a good deed and send you and Master Qu on the road together!" ”

Burst!

A steel knife hit Mrs. Qu's chest, and when she landed, the dead body fell down and lay on Qu Xing's body!

The man in black put the knife into the sheath and dodged out of Qu Xing's bedroom, and by the time the next person arrived, the man in black had already fled!

In the early morning of the next day, in the Linde Hall of Shangyang Palace, Empress Wu Zetian was sitting on top of His Majesty Dan, and suddenly felt that there was something strange in the court, and there were several vacant seats in the queue of civil and military officials at the same time, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, and her expression flashed with a hint of anger!

Wu Zetian was puzzled, and Cheng Cheng of Dali Temple went in and out, "Your Majesty, Cheng Jin, the minister of Dali Temple, has something to play!" ”

Wu Zetian opened his mouth and said, "Cheng Qing, what's the matter?" ”

Cheng Jin said: "Your Majesty, last night, Dali Temple received a report, there were five murders in Shendu last night, the minister thinks that the matter is serious, please Your Majesty, please Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh? Five murders in one night? When did the feet of the Son of Heaven become so uneven? But this murder case is in charge of your Dali Temple to solve it, what else do you need to decide? Wu Zetian was a little displeased!

Cheng Jin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows where his duties lie, and he doesn't dare to disturb His Majesty, just because the deceased of these five murders is too special, and it is really difficult for the minister to decide!" ”

"Oh? Who are the victims of these five murders? Wu Zetian felt a faint uneasiness in his heart!

Cheng Jin paused for a moment and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of seven deceased in the five murders, namely Chen Ziqing, the secretary of Sinong Temple, Qu Xing and his wife, Pan Qian, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Qiu Bozhong, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and Feng Xiu, the chief secretary of the Guozijian!" ”

Empress Wu Zetian and the civil and military officials in the court were all shocked when they heard Cheng Jin report the name of the victim!
