The other ministers in the Taiji Hall took advantage of this gap and touched the cold sweat on their heads one after another, but they were even more uneasy in their hearts. Grimace masks, aren't they the ones who attacked the VIPs in Jiang Mansion last night? Thinking of this, the cold sweat on the foreheads of the ministers could not be wiped off, and the brushes were kept downward.

"All the ministers are even! I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to all the ministers. Shen Cuobai said loudly, and the voice echoed several times in the entire Taiji Hall.

But none of the ministers who knelt got up, and still knelt tremblingly on the ground.

Shen Cuobai was also a little helpless, things happened so suddenly, and this group of people with grimace masks didn't even pay any attention to the court officials, and dared to do it in broad daylight, didn't it make people panic? Even Shen Cuobai himself felt that there was a crisis lurking beside him.

Shen Cuobai stood up, "I have already ordered the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to go down and start investigating this matter, and the ministers should bring more guards to defend themselves when they come and go, try to avoid going out, and if there are any clues, report them to the court in time!" ”

After speaking, Shen Cuobai shook his sleeves and left the Taiji Palace. The ministers hurriedly shouted, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

When Shen Cuobai disappeared, everyone in the Taiji Hall began to discuss, looking at the injured officials, their eyes were full of sympathy. Bad luck, why are they the only ones?

"Why are you saying this thing is so evil? A grimace mask isn't an auspicious thing! ”

"That's it, I heard that those people died tragically, and their bodies were divided into corpses, and I don't know what kind of crime they suffered!"

"I see, I'm afraid someone has done something wrong and provoked Heaven to punish him!"

"It's better to be careful now, but no one knows, whether that group of people are humans or ghosts? It's good to be a human being, if it's really something dirty, I'm afraid even the emperor can't do anything! ”

Everyone, you and I kept talking one sentence at a time, and the entire Taiji Hall was like an explosion. It wasn't until a long time that all the ministers left the Taiji Hall and rushed in the direction of their respective homes, but all of them were cautious, and some even sent letters to let their families come to answer and go back together.

Shen Cuobai returned to his residence, changed into civilian clothes, and quietly walked out of the palace. happened to meet the ministers leaving, Shen Cuobai hid in the shadows, followed the officials all the way back, and was calm along the way, and did not encounter anything strange.

Shen Cuobai turned around and rushed in the direction of Jiangfu. Now that the night has passed, I don't know what progress Jiang Heng has made on his side. Nowadays, such things happen frequently, and of course, the sooner things are resolved, the better.

When they arrived at Jiangfu, Wei Zhaohua and Shen Cuobai had already received the news that the officials had been attacked again, and their hearts were shocked.

"These things are too weird, what can do such a thing, isn't it really ......" Jiang Heng didn't say the next sentence, but Wei Zhaohua already understood it.

"Don't believe these ghostly things, even if you wear a grimace mask, it's just a deliberate attempt to hide your identity. It's just theirs

What is the purpose? Killing an official last night, this morning is just a threat, what do you want? ”

Wei Zhaohua calmly analyzed, the thoughts in his mind were also messed up, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"To make people afraid, to create illusions!" Shen Cuobai came in from outside, and when he smelled blood, he frowned unconsciously. "What are you doing here?"

"See the emperor, this is the witness who told the story of the killing of the official last night, and now he is in a different place." Jiang Heng saluted Shen Cuobai, pointed to the two corpses on the bed and said.

Shen Cuobai looked over, and sure enough, he looked at the room, and Shen Cuobai's brows became heavier.

"It's not easy for someone to be able to do it under your hands." After Shen Cuobai finished speaking, he took the lead out of the house. Jiang Heng and Wei Zhaohua had also observed the same, and walked out following Shen Cuobai's steps.

"How's it going in the morning? But what are the ideas? Wei Zhaohua asked softly.

Shen Cuobai shook his head, "I've already sent someone to guard that alley, so it's better to go and have a look together." ”

Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng took the order, and the three of them walked towards the alley that the official said. There were already officers and soldiers who had already taken heavy hands, and when they saw Shen Cuobai and the others, they hurriedly made way out.

There was nothing special to be found in the alley, the bodies of the officials and guards were scattered around, and a heavy smell of blood came. Rao is Wei Zhaohua endured it, but he still couldn't go in, and retched beside him.

Shen Cuobai and Jiang Heng went in and looked at the wounds on everyone's bodies, all of which were fatally stabbed in the heart. Even if Jiang Heng has such skills, he is still not sure that he can stab his heart in the face of so many people.

In this way, it seems that what they said is true. But why, why leave their lives behind? "Shen Cuobai walked out of it, this is just an ordinary alley, why do you want to start here?

"Because they have to keep the officials to go back and report the news, killing will only make people feel terrible, if you want to confuse people's hearts, they must be alive to feel afraid!" Wei Zhaohua said weakly, he didn't rest well last night, and with the edification of the smell of blood, Wei Zhaohua's face was a little pale.

Shen Cuobai looked at Wei Zhaohua's appearance, his eyes were full of distress, and he looked at the sun, "Let's find a place to eat something first." ”

The three of them walked to the Acacia Building, and there was still a lot of people inside. But the conversation at every table was surprisingly unanimous, and all of them were talking about the victimization of officials.

"Behold! This may be a punishment sent by God, and those people must have done something bad before they will be punished by God! “

"The officials are arrogant, maybe others want to teach some lessons, but they can't say!"

"No, no, no, I think they must have caused something dirty, but that grimace is real!"

Everyone said everything you and me, and they didn't notice Shen Cuobai and the others. Shen Cuobai listened to everyone's discussions, and the steps under his feet were a little heavy, but Jiang Heng instructed Xiao Er to find a private room to sit down at random and order some food, and Wei Zhaohua and the three of them faced a table full of delicacies

None have an appetite.

"Your Majesty, these things are complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the truth for a while, so I'd better eat and write first to take care of my body." Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth and said.

Shen Cuobai looked at Wei Zhaohua and nodded helplessly, Shen Cuobai barely ate some at this time, and Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng also ate something with Shen Cuobai.

"Jiang Heng, don't you have any clues now?" Shen Cuobai stood in front of the window, looking at the guests downstairs, with a deep face.

Jiang Heng lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Cuobai, "Yes." ”

Wei Zhaohua looked at the stiff appearance of the two people, and said, "Even if there are no clues, there are thirty-six plans of the soldiers, and there is one plan that may help us!" ”

"What?" Jiang Heng couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly asked, looking at Wei Zhaohua with a little more eagerness.

"Count, count." Wei Zhaohua's thin lips opened lightly, and he said, "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, everything they do must be reasonable, and they must develop in the direction they want, as long as they know what they want to get, won't everything be revealed?" ”

"But if their plan succeeds, what's the point of knowing about it then?" Jiang Heng spoke.

Wei Zhaohua shook his head, "They have a certain pattern in doing things, they choose places where no one pays attention, and the targets are all officials. As long as we follow these officials who may be attacked, we will naturally be able to fight the men in black head-on, and then we will be able to follow the vine and touch the melon? ”

Wei Zhaohua said that he was full of words, Jiang Heng seemed to understand what Wei Zhaohua meant, Shen Cuobai turned around, "In this way, it is to ignore the life and death of officials, the imperial court has no way to lift the morale of the army because of this matter, if there is another accident, I am afraid it will be difficult to be complete again." At least those who died, they should be properly resettled, and someone should be found to replace them! ”

"As long as we take strict precautions, we can naturally protect the officials, follow them in the shadows, and then strike when needed, which can not only catch the opponent off guard, but also protect them!" Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth and said.

Jiang Heng looked at Shen Cuobai and asked Shen Cuobai's opinion. Shen Cuobai looked at Wei Zhaohua's firm eyes and nodded. At the end of the day, there was no better way.

"This matter must be done as soon as possible, and now the people's will is about to get out of control!" Shen Cuobai looked at the bustling crowd downstairs, frowning and winning the hearts of the people, if the people's hearts are broken, he will suffer deeply.

Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng naturally understood the meaning of the words, "The subordinates understand!" ”

"Zhaohua, you don't know martial arts, just stay in Su Mansion. There is Jiang Heng outside, there will be nothing! Shen Cuobai said to Wei Zhaohua, looking at Wei Zhaohua's haggard appearance, he thought that he should be heartbroken for this matter. Although Wei Zhaohua is very intelligent, if the man in black wants to attack Wei Zhaohua, Shen Cuobai will not dare to make a bet.

Wei Zhaohua understood what Shen Cuobai meant, and he also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he responded, "Zhaohua understands." ”

After the meal, Wei Zhaohua returned to Su Mansion under the escort of Jiang Heng and Shen Cuobai. Shen Cuobai returned to the palace after that, and there was such a big one

things, he naturally has a lot to do. Jiang Heng led people to search everywhere, and ambushes were set up everywhere.

However, Shen Cuobai, who returned to the palace, was one head and two big, and Cheng An told him that the officials who returned home after the early dynasty were also injured in the attack. Shen Cuobai sat in the imperial study, looking at the folds in front of him. Cheng An next to him felt as if the air was solidified, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only try to speak.

"Your Majesty, how can you do this, do you want the officials to recuperate at home for a period of time?"
