In any era, there are diehards, and there are villains who are rebellious.

Zhuang Siyan and the others sent the arrested person to Dali Temple, called Tang Geng, and ordered him to open a trial overnight, and he must ask something from his mouth.

I thought it would be hard to ask.

For judging from the circumstances in which these men first attacked them, they were not afraid of death.

A person who is not afraid of death is terrible in itself, and it is basically difficult for anything to really subdue him.

But what they didn't expect was that Tang Geng almost didn't use any punishment, and the man told everything he knew.

It's the person of Qiu Gang, the king of Zhenbei, yes.

There were a group of six of them, and four of them appeared in the dark street tonight, two of whom fled, one dead and one arrested.

He didn't know where the two who didn't show up were now, because they were all arranged in person, and the form of the task was also random, never saying it in advance, or letting them be prepared.

Sometimes before the execution, they don't know who they are cooperating with, but each person holds a copy of their own task list, and when they arrive at the specified time and place, they do it according to the task.

Zhuang Siyan was a little puzzled, and asked Tang Geng to ask him, how many people did they come to the capital in total?

The man shook his head and said, he has only seen these six until now, but it should be more than that, because when he killed the bluestone before, the stepping point of the location there, and the preparation in advance were all done by someone.

Xu Ning was wrong, it was not four people who went to the scene that day, but six, four were upstairs, and two were downstairs.

In other words, even if Qingshi can really escape from the house, it will be difficult to get out.

Tang Geng was interrogating inside, and Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng were listening outside.

When she heard the process of killing bluestone, her fists clenched tightly, and her nails were pinched into her flesh.

I wish that the man was in her hands at this time, and she was choking his neck and strangling him to death.

Ling Tiancheng saw her face turn pale, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort her: "Yan'er, I won't give up with them on this matter.

You're right, the Qing brothers have been following us for many years, and they have always been effective in life and work, and now they are dying in their hands, and they have to pay the price.

But as you heard just now, they are not the only ones who are coming, there are also larger organizations behind, so now we can't act rashly, we must find a good time to kill those people. ”

Zhuang Siyan hated on the one hand, and angry on the other.

She turned her head suddenly, and her eyes were a little red: "Emperor, have you ever thought that the Praetorian Guards in the city also have problems?" It was Guan Ye Temple before, and there was such a big incident, they didn't even know anything in advance, and they had to rely on us to investigate. Now it's Qiu Gang's people again, such a large number of people, who have entered the capital and set up such a murderous situation here, why didn't the Praetorian Guards react half-way? Don't they patrol the city every day? What the hell is patrolling? ”

When she said it, she was purely annoyed by the injustice of the bluestone, and even a little angry.

At this time, there was no one in charge for a while, and the murderer had not yet been caught, so there was a large group of anger in his heart, and he had nowhere to sprinkle them, and he scattered them all on the head of the Praetorian Guard.

But as soon as she spoke, she felt that this matter was wrong.

They should have thought that there was something wrong with the matter.

In the past, the Praetorian Guard was in the hands of Ye Yuanpei, and although strange things happened in the capital from time to time, he didn't want to be like this now.

Since Ye Yuanpei stepped down as a general for the first time, the military power has also been corresponding

Lifted.

Who Ling Tiancheng gave the power to command the army, Zhuang Siyan didn't care, and this kind of thing was not something she should care about.

But as soon as this kind of thing happened today, she immediately reacted, the reason why Qiu Gang was able to succeed in Northern Xinjiang was because he had military power in his hands?

Ye Yuanpei's old department had contact with him when he was in northern Xinjiang, if he started to lay out from that time, it would not be impossible to take advantage of Ye Yuanpei's absence in the past few years to take his old department into his hands.

She quickly said what she was thinking, then looked at Ling Tiancheng and said, "If the Praetorian Guards are also helping him, then Qiu Gang is really ninety percent sure of winning this battle." ”

Ling Tiancheng's face didn't move much from beginning to end, but when Zhuang Siyan looked at him, he gave him a reassuring look.

It wasn't until she finished saying everything that he whispered: "I have thought about this matter for a long time, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, after the matter here is over, go back to the palace, the capital will be like an iron bucket, even if Qiu Gang calls, he can't enter the city, and he won't come in." ”

The confidence at this time was a bit unexpected.

Not long ago, Zhuang Siyan was still worried about him and Ye Yuanpei's faces, and only a few days later, they have developed from being afraid at the beginning to being full of confidence now, is there something in this, which she doesn't know?

Qingshi's death was quickly made clear, all the fault was Qiu Gang's, the man admitted that he had killed someone, but he also confessed everyone he knew, including where they might appear at this time.

Ling Tiancheng and the others did not stay outside the palace for a long time, and came out of Dali Temple that night and returned to the palace.

But he handed over all the outside affairs to the Praetorian Guards, and at the same time told Tang Geng that he would pay special attention to the movements that night.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Siyan, who had not slept all night, went out before dawn.

She went to the Zichen Xi Palace, where she waited for Ling Tiancheng from the early dynasty to come back.

But Ling Tiancheng came back very late, she walked around in front of the hall, her legs were stiff, the little eunuch came over and said several times, asking her to sit and wait in the hall, but Zhuang Siyan couldn't calm down at all.

She wants to know what the situation is outside the palace now?

Did the Praetorian Guards surrounding the dark streets find the distribution of the mechanisms inside, and did they catch people in those houses?

Did they go to arrest the confessor last night, and what happened?

Although Ling Tiancheng had persuaded her, she was still anxious.

Qingshi's body is still in Dali Temple, and with him is one of the people who killed him.

Zhuang Siyan wanted to arrest them all, and then gathered together to bury Qingshi.

was anxious, her steps were a little chaotic, and she didn't pay much attention to the surrounding situation, until Concubine Yi walked to her side and saluted her, Zhuang Siyan suddenly came out of her chaotic thoughts.

She looked at Concubine Yi in wonder for a while and asked her, "Why are you here?" Is there something wrong? ”

Concubine Yi also replied frankly: "There are some things that I want to report to the emperor." ”

After speaking, he asked Zhuang Siyan again: "Is the queen also waiting for the emperor?" ”

Fortunately, Zhuang Siyan was not completely confused at this time, and remembered that although there were only a few people in this harem, the power was in his own hands.

So she asked Concubine Yi unfairly: "What is the matter with Concubine Yi looking for the emperor, he has not dispersed the dynasty yet, why don't you tell me first?" ”

Concubine Yi reached out and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it directly to Zhuang Siyan.

The note is not big, like a slap

One piece, there are fewer words written on the face, only one word: "move".

Zhuang Siyan asked Concubine Yi: "This ...... What is the meaning? ”

Concubine Yi shook her head first, and then said, "Although I don't know what it means, it should also be related to King Zhenbei." Does the Queen remember what I said earlier, that they would send me a message? ”

Zhuang Siyan's eyes lit up instantly: "This note is newly transmitted?" ”

Seeing Concubine Yi nodding, she asked again: "Then have you seen who passed it on, and did you say anything else besides this word?" ”

This time, Concubine Yi shook her head: "I have never seen the person who delivered the message, and nothing else has been passed except this word." ”

Just as the two of them were pondering what this meant by this, they saw Mo Yun also walking over this way.

Mo Yun's identity is a secret in the palace, except for Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng, who are his colleagues, and few others know his identity.

He rarely shows his body in the palace, and occasionally appears disguised as a eunuch.

At this time, he also pretended to be a little eunuch, but because he was taller and his face was not as groveling as that of ordinary eunuchs, he looked a little out of place.

With Concubine Yi there, Zhuang Siyan didn't take the initiative to greet him, but just glanced away and looked away.

Mo Yun passed by them, and just like other little eunuchs, he bowed and went to do other things.

If so, Zhuang Siyan already knew his intentions.

She managed to pull Concubine Yi away, and then looked for Moyun's direction.

In a corner of the palace wall, Mo Yun was waiting there, and when he saw her coming, he was about to salute again, but was stopped by Zhuang Siyan in advance: "Let's talk about what's going on outside, did you catch someone last night?" ”

Mo Yun shook his head: "No, the Praetorian Guards searched for the place provided by the man, the house was already empty, but there were some things left by those people inside, indicating that they were indeed there." ”

"What about the Dark Street? So many hidden weapons spewed out last night, can someone control it, did you catch it? And the two people who came out last night to lead you in, the two who were dressed in black and white......"

She was too anxious, and she asked questions quickly and urgently.

Mo Yun was infected by her, and his reply also sped up: "Lord Tang sent a message early in the morning, and the people of the Praetorian Guard only found some of the mechanism devices that had been arranged in advance, but no one was found inside.

They demolished all those institutions, and inquired about them, saying that those houses had been rented at a high price a few months ago.

Most of the rents are not clear about what the tenants look like, and they don't know what they rent for, and the names of the deeds are fake. ”

Zhuang Siyan slapped the wall beside him hard: "Damn, this is already ready, we don't know how late we are going to check now?" ”

Mo Yun saw her slapping her hand on the wall, and wanted to stop her, but she was the master and a hostess, and it was always not good to make a rash move by herself.

can only persuade: "The queen mother is angry, although they have done this precisely, but it is not completely traceless, on the contrary, the stricter they do, the more they have an internal response in the capital, and the one who can respond to them is the one who was responsible for the search last night." ”

This is already in line with Zhuang Siyan's analysis last night.

There is a big problem with the Praetorian Guard, and it has become clear.

The word "move" in Concubine Yi's hand, maybe the Praetorian Guards also received it, so they were no longer worried that someone would check them at this time, but became fearless.
