At night, in a small house in the middle of the city, there was no light in the dark room, and suddenly the door was gently opened, and a dark shadow cautiously rushed in.

The dark shadow was a little used to the darkness in the room, and was about to grope for something, when a low voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?"

The shadow suddenly turned around, only to find a person sitting in the middle of the room.

He was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said hurriedly: "My family asked the little one to pass a message to you, Xu Rui has already discovered Tang Jiuguang's account book." ”

"What?!"

The man sitting on the chair suddenly got up, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Tell your family and kill Xu Rui immediately." ”

Saying that, he shook his head, as if talking to himself: "I wanted that Xu Rui to be used by me, but unfortunately the account book must not flow out, if you want to blame him, he is smart but he was mistaken by cleverness." ”

The black shadow nodded and said, "My family said that in addition to Xu Rui, there is also a prostitute who has also read the account book. ”

"Where is that man now?"

"Xu Rui secretly hid in a private house near the prison of the Criminal Department."

"You don't have to worry about this person, I will personally send someone to deal with it."

"Yes!"

In the back hall of the Criminal Department, Lu Hua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was anxiously pacing back and forth.

King Yu happened to come to the back hall at this time, and nodded at a small official outside the door, and the little official immediately retreated quietly, and King Yu took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in.

Lu Hua heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head to look at the door, and saw that it was King Yu coming in, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have been looking for you for an hour, where have you been?"

King Yu sneered: "This king has some family matters to deal with, and he has delayed the time, so please forgive Lu Shangshu." ”

"It's all this time, why are you still running around?"

Lu Hua hurriedly said: "After today's court meeting, the Holy Lord left you and me alone, and only gave us three days to solve the case, but now the case is full of problems, let alone three days, even if there is no progress in three months." ”

Seeing that he was in a hurry, King Yu persuaded: "Don't worry, boss......"

"How can you not be in a hurry?"

Before King Yu's words were finished, Lu Hua hurriedly said: "I didn't expect the case to get worse, the old case has not been solved, and the new case has been born. ”

King Yu sighed: "My father also has a hard time, if the court situation continues to brew, there will definitely be a big storm in the end, and the party strife is internal friction to put it bluntly, and in the end, no matter who wins or loses, the loss is the entire northern country." ”

Lu Hua shook his head: "This time is different from the past, originally the civil official group and the Xungui group were still safe, and the saint had taken these opportunities to basically clear the court, but as soon as this case broke out, he immediately felt the crisis again."

Now the two major groups have been pushed to a dead end, in order to survive, the people who were originally outside the friends have to huddle together to keep warm, and the power is even stronger, if the saint wants to break the situation, there is a chance that the two groups will be suppressed in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder.

If you think about it, whether it is a noble or a civil official, regardless of political ideas, they are the elite of my northern country, and the butcher's knife together is difficult for even the saint to control the situation. ”

King Yu sighed: "Prince Bao and Governor Hong have already entered the palace, I hope they can have a way." ”

Lu Hua shook his head: "Prince Bao and Governor Hong are both pillars of the country, but they are both princes, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will not stop this time, the most important thing is to investigate the case and extinguish the wildfire in the court." ”

King Yu smiled bitterly: "This case is a criminal case on the surface, but behind it is a dispute between the crown princes.

made Jinyiwei and Dongchang poke and move, Dali Temple pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the household department watched the fire from the other side, even the criminal department had many constraints.

After checking for so many days, except for Xu Rui and Liu Haofei who found something useful at the beginning, the other lines were completely paralyzed.

Well, now that even Xu Rui and Liu Haofei are gone, what do you say I can do as a bare-rod prince? ”

With a "snap", hearing that King Yu also began to prevaricate, Lu Hua took the case and said angrily: "No matter how difficult the situation is, as a courtier, you should do your best, even if you really can't find anything in the end, the old man will never be restrained!"

Although the old man doesn't know much about the criminal name, he has learned some things in the past few years, and now he will take someone to investigate, no matter what, he can't watch the mastermind behind the scenes succeed! ”

"Boss, boss!"

Seeing that Lu Hua was bent on going his own way, King Yu suddenly shouted: "Come on, stop Lord Lu for me!" ”

Several pro-soldiers immediately rushed out and surrounded Lu Hua in the middle, and Lu Hua found that the person standing guard at the door was no longer the errand of the Criminal Department, but the guards of King Yu.

"You ......"

Lu Hua's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at King Yu in shock.

Lu Hua of the Yu Dynasty arched his hand: "It's hard for the boss, this king now wants to invite the boss to a place." ”

"Where?"

Lu Hua gritted his teeth and asked.

"You'll find out when you get there."

Yuwang said with a sneer.

On the other side, Xu Rui and Liu Haofei immediately returned to Liu's Mansion after settling Hong'er and began to crack the code on the two pieces of white cloth.

Although Xu Rui immediately determined that the first piece of white cloth was the ledger, because there was no corresponding formula for symbols and numbers, even if he understood the combination method, he could not know the specific secrets on the ledger.

However, as the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the code on the first white cloth is blocked, but the code on the second white cloth has made significant progress.

Xu Rui found that the symbols on the second piece of white cloth were actually some upside-down characters, but those words were incomplete, and most of them were only half-cut, that is, radicals.

He immediately thought of the Japanese word for katakana, and understood the radicals in terms of Japanese rules, and was shocked to find that the grammar rules were identical except for a few differences.

Cracking the code with this kind of rule, the sentence that comes out is: "He harms me, and I won't make them feel better, these people are his ...... comrades"

The following list of symbols is one name after another.

After investigating for so many days, they finally got close to the truth, at least every name on this white cloth is a clue, even if it is discovered by the mastermind behind the scenes, it is impossible to wipe out so many people, they finally found the key to solving the case.

This discovery made Xu Rui and Liu Haofei ecstatic, in order to speed up the progress of cracking the white cloth, Xu Rui taught Liu Haofei the spelling rules of the second white cloth as it was, and asked him to translate the names on the white cloth one by one, and then copy them on paper, while he himself held the first white cloth and continued to crack the secrets on the ledger.

In the dark night, the Liu Mansion was waiting for the whole army, and Liu Yi specially sent more than ten masters of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion to stand guard on the periphery, except for the presence of the martial saint, no one wanted to rush into the mansion.

Near the study, in order to prevent a mole from sabotaging the code cracking work, Liu Yi specially cleared a vacant lot, and strictly ordered no one to approach the backyard where the study was located, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.

In the study, Xu Rui held the first white cloth and thought silently in front of the candlelight, while Liu Haofei corresponded to the second white cloth, writing hard and writing the names of his accomplices on paper.

"Jin Yan, the head of the Ministry of Officials, ......"

"Chongshan Pass Admiral Wang Shangqing ......"

"The history of river cleaning and transportation Zhang Shunchang ......"

One by one, the names jumped on the paper, and the higher the official status in the future.

However, as he wrote, the pen in Liu Haofei's hand was suddenly stunned, because at this moment, a new name appeared in his pen - Liu Haofei, the waiter of the Criminal Department!

"How is this possible, he will never know my identity!"

Liu Haofei's pupils shrank, as if he had been struck by thunder.

After a while, he gently put down the pen in his hand and turned his head to look at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui was still holding the white cloth and meditating, as if he had come out of his mind.

Liu Haofei took out a note from his sleeve that he had read several times, and only a simple sentence was written on it: "My lord, the order is to kill Xu Rui immediately, and the account book must not be passed on!" ”

He gritted his teeth, stuffed the note back into his sleeve, then pulled out a dagger with a cold light from his boot, first gently cut the second piece of white cloth into pieces and swallowed it into his stomach, then slowly got up and walked lightly towards Xu Rui, who had not been checked.

At the same time, in a private house outside the prison of the Criminal Department, a black shadow fell from the sky, only to see a cold light flash in the darkness, and the two military masters suddenly separated their heads and fell softly.

The black shadow snorted coldly, and walked towards the only room with the fire in his hand.
