Under the dark night, a torrential rain raided the Beijing Division, and the little soldier Chen Sigang who was guarding the city gate yawned several times. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Chen Si saw a group of black-clothed men riding tall horses galloping in the torrential rain, all of them wearing masks, emitting silver light in the darkness, as if they were ghosts. Chen Si was so frightened that half of his soul was gone, and he hurriedly wanted to rush back to report, a jade plate was thrown from the hand of a man at the head, Chen Si hurriedly went to catch it, and when he saw the word "royal", he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, regardless of the others, hurriedly opened the city gate with others, and returned the jade plate respectfully to the man in black led by him.

This group of black-clothed people is the king of Jin Jingyu and his men, they were delayed in Runzhou for a few days, took a boat to continue north, arrived in Beijing immediately changed the fast horse, went straight to the city gate, the night sudden rainstorm, although they put on the hat and the coat halfway, the rain still soaked the clothes, but did not affect their itinerary at all, still fast horses. Jing Yu knew that the situation in Jingshi was complicated now, and things might be more than he thought, and he had to figure out what the current situation was before knowing the enemy's intentions, so he sent a letter to the palace without delay, and went straight to his mansion.

The residence of King Jingyu of Jin is on the periphery of the imperial city of Beijing, the environment is very quiet, several rivers shuttle through it, it is the residence of the imperial court specially assigned to the prince and grandson, as the three princes of the saint and Pei Guifei today, Jingyu's mansion is not big, the door is closed, the whole mansion looks a little cold in the dark night, the people guarding the door see that it is the people of the three princes, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet it, Jingyu threw the horse rope, and then strode towards the mansion, Jiabei and Jianan looked at each other very tacitly, and followed closely behind Jingyu, The rest of the people went back to their houses to rest and wait for orders at any time. The cold boots on the bluestone slab in the courtyard accompanied by the sound of the wind and rain jumping and walking, probably knowing the seriousness of the situation, they did not make a sound very tacitly, Jing Yu was a little sad inside, and he said to the two people behind him, "Go, go to the study!" ”

Before entering the study, Jiabei and Jianan had a tacit understanding outside waiting for Jingyu to change clothes inside, and the next person also brought two sets of dry clothes, and invited the two of them to go to the next room to change clothes, after about a tea time, several people changed their clothes and drank ginger tea in Jingyu's study, Jianan took a sip and said, "There is news from Runzhou, Jiayun said that Miss Jiang ran out of Jiumen Villa in the middle of the night, and he has followed." "Kanan has a neutral attitude towards this matter, but at the moment he feels that there are many things, and he really shouldn't bother with this woman. Jing Yu put down the teacup and thought for a moment after hearing it, "Let Jia Yun come back, Miss Jiang doesn't need to follow." When Jia Nan heard this, he nodded, "Yes."

"What about Dugu's injury?" Jiabei said hurriedly on the side, they had already heard about the case of Jiang Duai in Runzhou when they were on the boat, and they already knew that the person who called himself Jiang Xiao'e was Jiang Duai himself, Jiabei was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the leader of the Evergreen Gang forcibly occupied the girl, and they had also found out that the injury of the leader of the Evergreen Gang was the Dugu injury who caused the Lingyunmen tragedy back then. But helplessly, they had received news a few days ago that Dugu had secretly escaped from the Runzhou prison.

"Even if you follow Jiang Duwei, you may not be able to find out Dugu's injury, this person is insidious and cunning, it can't be solved in a while, not to mention that the rivers and lakes have issued a chase and kill order, he can't make any waves for a while, and the top priority is to find out the mastermind behind the Jingshi case." Jing Yu replied.

"Yes!" Jianan and Jiabei replied in unison.

"Boss, who do you think is behind the Jingshi case?" Jiabei is thick-skinned, and often calls Jingyu the boss in private. "It's not very clear, there are some complications behind the Jingshi case, and the forces of the DPRK and China and the rivers and lakes should be involved. The incident of the Weishui embankment burst this time is very likely to be related to the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and I have already made the people in the palace secretly watch it. However," Jing Yu suddenly sneered, "What makes me more curious is that I heard that the black and white factions in the rivers and lakes have been rushing to the Jingshi in recent days, and if I am not wrong in inference, so many people from the rivers and lakes have rushed to the Jingshi, it is very likely that it is related to a treasure." “

"Treasures?" Jiabei had some doubts, what kind of treasure could make people in both black and white flock to it. "Jia Nan, pass the order, everyone sneaks into all parts of the capital to find out the news, as soon as there is news, come to report immediately, especially to find out what this 'treasure' is?" "Yes!" Jianan Huidao. Jing Yu continued, "Jiabei, I heard that someone has seen zombies near the mass grave in the western suburbs of Beijing, you take a team of people to check it, be sure to pay attention to safety." Jiabei was a little worried when he heard the words mass grave, he was afraid of ghosts since he was a child, "Boss, why don't I change with Jianan?" After asking, Jingyu gave him a look, and Jiabei immediately replied, "Yes!" ”

After the order, Jing Yu let the two of them go back to rest, after Jia Nan and Jia Bei retreated, Jing Yu heard a knock on the door in the study again, they knocked on the door with a signal, Jing Yu knew that Jia Feng had something important to report, so he immediately let him in.

"Childe," Jia Feng saluted to Jing Yu. Jing Yu privately did not let his subordinates call him Lord Wang, Jia Feng did not wear a mask in the mansion, at this time his long hair stood up and his skin was a little white, but he was still heroic because of his long years of martial arts practice. Jing Yu nodded, "Well, what have you discovered these days." Before leaving, Jing Yu specially ordered Jia Feng to stay in Jingshi, and Jia Feng replied, "My subordinates discovered a tomb robbery gang in the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion a few days ago, and my subordinates have already come into contact with one of the people named Li Li, and he sold him an item to his subordinates. After speaking, Jia Feng took a purple crystal pot out of his clothes.

Jing Yu took this purple teapot and looked at it carefully, the whole body of the teapot was crystal clear, without any flaws, and even emitted a strange light in the dark night, even if Jing Yu grew up in the palace, he knew that this thing was not extraordinary at this moment. "I will ask someone to identify the origin of this teapot, you continue to keep an eye on this gang and find out the origin of the tomb they robbed, I vaguely feel that this may be related to the case in Jingshi."

"Yes." Jia Feng wanted to retire, but suddenly remembered something, and was a little hesitant to talk about it.

Seeing him like this, Jing Yu asked, "What else is going on?" "Is there something I don't know if I should say?" Seeing that Jing Yu did not stop him, Jia Feng said, "After the subordinates finished trading with this Li Li, when they came out of the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion, they found that they were followed from behind, but they did not succeed in tracking, I went to check the person who was tracking, that person is Han Zhen, the son of Sima Han Chu in Quzhou, I heard that Han Zhen served as a lieutenant in the army, this time he sent military funds to Beijing, and he was also followed by Jiang Liluo, the daughter of Jiang Bing, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Han Zhen's sister Han Di'er. ”

Jing Yu fell into a deep thought after hearing the words, he heard about them when he was in Runzhou, Jiang Bing and Han Chu were both officials in Quzhou, Han Zhen had no problem escorting Miss Jiang to Jingshi, the question was why they followed Jia Feng, could it be that they happened to meet, it was purely curious, or that they were also investigating the case secretly, after thinking about it, Jing Yu said to Jia Feng, "You go down first, they should also be interested in the Jingshi case, as long as they don't find their bad intentions, don't care." ”

"Yes!" When Jia Feng heard this, he retreated, and the sound of his walking boots sounded in the hallway.

Jing Yu felt a little tired all over his body, and at this time, the old housekeeper of the Jin Palace, Fang Bo, knocked on the door gently, he was over fifty years old, and he was a little staggering when he walked, he preached outside the door, "Childe, the old slave came here to ask Childe if he had any instructions, and if he wanted to let someone order some noodles." Jing Yu was a little out of appetite, he stepped forward and opened the door, "Uncle Fang, you let them send it over tomorrow morning, I don't have an appetite now." Uncle Fang nodded, but there seemed to be something in his throat that he didn't dare to say, and he was a little hesitant in front of him, Jing Yu saw this and said, "Uncle Fang, I grew up watching you, and if you have something to say, just say it." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Fang said slowly, "Childe, I heard that Miss Pei of Pei Mansion has been giving porridge at the gate of the city in recent days, and it seems that she is waiting for you to come back, this time when you return to Beijing, do you want to go and see her, now, everyone in the Beijing Division is praising Miss Pei for her perfection and beauty, and she is an example of a noble lady in Beijing." Hearing the name Pei Jia, Jing Yu seemed a little unhappy in his heart, and he sneered, "Hmph, it's the queen mother who sent you to be a lobbyist, Miss Pei is not necessarily the person I'm waiting for, you're old, go down and rest." After hearing this, this man named Fang Bo walked away with a lantern, he didn't quite understand, this Miss Pei was obviously first-class in appearance, why didn't the prince have any interest in her at all?

After Uncle Fang left, "Han Zhen, Jiang Liluo, Han Di'er," Jing Yu silently recited these names in his heart, he also heard that the Fire Lotus Sect, the Seven Star Gate, the Ghost Sect, the Xiaoyao Gate, and the Caoyun Thirteen Gang all sent people to Jingshi, and Shen Muzhou also rushed back from the northwest, it seems that the game of chess in Jingshi is getting bigger and bigger. In the dark night, Jing Yu's side face looked more upright under the candlelight, he suddenly looked out the window, hum, this game is getting more and more interesting, I want to see who wants to trouble Jingshi.

Runzhou Pier in the middle of the night

One night, Jiang Dui ran out of Jiumen Villa, and secretly took a hanging bead and some silver coins from Jiumen Villa. The owner of Jiumen Villa treated her very well, let her start as an apprentice in Jiumen Villa, Jiang Dui was very grateful to have such an opportunity, but one day she overheard the news that the scar ghost had escaped from the Runzhou Heavenly Prison, Jiang Dui's hatred struck again, she would never allow the person who violated her innocence and killed Xiao Wu to get away with it, she couldn't wait for the day when she finished her studies, she wanted to go out to take revenge. She left a note in Jiumen Villa, "When I finish avenging my great revenge, I will return the treasure in person and let it be disposed of." ”

Jiang Dui first ran back to the Jiang family gang in Runzhou, and before she went out to take revenge, she wanted to go back to see her mother first. Jiang Duwei walked alone by the river, looking at the houses on the other side with candles flickering, and many memories began to pour into his heart. She remembers that when she was a child, A-Niang often hugged her by the river, liked to touch her head, her eyes were full of pity, she was a sensitive child since she was a child, she knew what A-Niang meant, it would be good if she were a boy, it was not that A-Niang didn't like her, but they lived in the Cao Gang. Daddy is a small leader of the Cao Gang, married five concubines, no wife, they are ranked according to age, Ah Niang is ranked third, I heard that Ah Niang fled with her family to Anyang to join relatives on the way to encounter the epidemic, she survived alone, and then life was not settled, so she was introduced to Daddy as a concubine by Ren Yazi, there is no hero to save beauty, there is no chivalrous courage, this is the real version, not as rumored to the outside world. It is not easy for Ah Niang to take her to live under the two concubines who are ranked older than her, Ah Dad has been away for a long time, in addition to urging a few brothers to learn martial arts, he rarely pays attention to other things, the two of them usually lack food and clothing, not to mention, but also endure all kinds of ugly scolding and ridicule, Ah Niang doesn't want her to be a girl, but also worried that Jiang Dui will become another her, just like duckweed in the rivers and lakes, fate has never been controlled by herself.

When Jiang Duwei was seven years old, many people began to whisper behind her, saying that she was very beautiful, she would look better than her aunt in the future, and she would become a rare stunning beauty, and she might marry the biggest leader of the Cao Gang as a concubine. But she didn't believe in fate, she studied martial arts desperately, ran desperately on the dock, often dressed herself like a boy, and smeared her face, hoping to live a different life from A-Niang, and then when she was sixteen years old, fate mocked her like this again.

Jiang Dui has not seen A-Niang for a few months, A-Niang will definitely be extremely distressed after knowing what happened to her, in the night, she jumped and turned out of the window of A-Niang's room, wanting to sneak a look at her again, under the dim oil lamp, she saw A-Niang sewing a small dress, it seemed to be a small belly pocket, her mother's stomach had stood up, she didn't know, it turned out that A-Niang was pregnant with another little life. She sat on the floor outside her mother's window for a long time, constantly fighting in her mind, and finally decided not to disturb A-Niang's life and left quietly, she secretly stuffed most of the money on her body into her mother's room, and left quietly.

At this time, Jiang Duwei called a boat by the river, planning to rush to Beijing, the reason why she took the hanging bead of Jiumen Villa is that she heard that the people of the ghost faction are now in Beijing, and she heard that the ghost faction of the rivers and lakes is taking money to do things, she wants to know, a good hanging bead, can take this other life.
