Chapter III: Entrustment
It's night.
The murder that happened in Yongtongfang did not cause any waves. Even the people of Yongtongfang know very little.
People's curiosity is limited, most people pay more attention to what is around them and what is in front of them, and only idle people will go around looking for something interesting, and a few will get together to talk about it.
As the imperial capital of the Great Zhou, night is undoubtedly the beginning of another world. It's more prosperous than during the day, and if you look at it from above, you can even see a dappled glow in the darkness.
Fengluan Pavilion in North City, there are a lot of strange guests today. They seemed to be guests invited by their hosts, and as soon as they entered, they were invited upstairs.
Some of the girls wanted to come over, but they didn't expect that these people's faces were cold, and no matter how much they talked to them, it would be useless. So the girls secretly said that they were bored, and they all left.
The men went upstairs, whispered, and suddenly ran.
They moved quickly, almost instantaneously to the top floor, and were about to break down the door when they heard the sound of a window being slammed open from behind the door.
These people are the hundred horsemen who are in charge of arresting people, and the first one is a captain of the hundred horses, he was shocked, and quickly ordered his subordinates to rush in.
When the door was pushed open, there seemed to be some resistance, and the lieutenant, who was experienced, quickly shouted: "Get down!" ”
But it was already too late, and the speed at which everyone rushed in was very fast, and the strength in their hands was inevitably heavier. After all, pushing the door was just a trivial matter, and the moment the door was pushed open, there was a sudden explosion sound from inside.
Then, there was the sound of porcelain jars breaking to the ground, followed by billowing smoke from the house. There was still some fire in the smoke, forcing people to retreat again and again.
There were already people downstairs shouting "Go to the water", and suddenly the entire Fengluan Pavilion was in chaos.
The lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Go to the backyard and block him!" ”
He hurriedly ran to the backyard with his subordinates, and sent people to watch here before the action, but he didn't expect to smell a strong bloody smell as soon as he got closer, and saw that the people he arranged here were all staggering, and they all became a group of corpses lying on the ground.
"He hasn't gone far yet, chase!" The lieutenant shouted.
"The people are there!" At this moment, a hundred horsemen suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted.
Sure enough, everyone saw a dark shadow in that place and ran away.
The shadow seemed to be familiar with the surrounding terrain, moving with agility and scurrying up to the wall from time to time. But the speed of the hundred horsemen was also very fast, and a number of arrows were shot into the sky, and then the hundred horsemen who had been ambushed around began to surround them, and finally blocked the black shadow.
This person even wore a night suit, and the hundred horsemen surrounded him, and took off the black mask that covered his face, but he revealed the face of a Zhou person.
This man was already pale, suddenly squatted on the ground tremblingly, and kowtowed again and again: "Uncles, spare me, I was also forced to do this theft." ”
These words made everyone stunned.
The people of the Northern Wilderness they caught in other places were not reckless, and once they found that they had no chance to escape, they directly bit the poison on the tip of their tongues. After collecting the net for so long, I didn't even get a single live mouth.
The lieutenant tugged at him by the collar, but his keen nose could smell that there was no blood on the thief.
He pulled several money bags out of the thief's clothes, of various patterns and sizes, apparently obtained from many different people.
Looking at him like this, it didn't look like a man who had killed his men. However, the lieutenant did not relax, but said in a deep voice: "Take him away for me!" ”
The hundred horsemen pressed the thief and turned away, and the thief's hands and feet were tied, and he pleaded again and again. The last hundred horses kicked him in the stomach, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp, and the whole person twitched, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"That's not right!"
Captain Baiqi suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he turned around and glanced behind him, and suddenly muttered, "Who is the person who shouted just now?" ”
No one answered, and the captain's gaze swept over a man's face, and he finally realized that he had been tricked.
There weren't many people in Baicai, and he knew everyone here. But remembering the hundred horsemen who had just shouted and pointed in the direction, he suddenly couldn't call out his name.
Obviously, the other party had long known that they were coming to arrest him, so they deliberately used a trick.
People, let them go.
The lieutenant slammed his fist against the wall, and let out an unwilling roar from his mouth.
This is the only time that the 100 riders failed in the net. Now the hundred horsemen still don't know what kind of big fish they let go.
……
Tang Yun and Jing Liang hurried over, and only the two of them came, not even a single subordinate. Of course, this was notified in advance by Xia Zhenyang, the commander of the hundred cavalry.
The entire Feng Mansion was surrounded by the forbidden army, everything was preserved as it was, and as soon as Tang Yun and Jing Liang entered the mansion, they felt an eerie aura.
"Xia Shi!"
Tang Yun and Jing Liang saluted Xia Zhenyang, not because Xia Zhenyang's official position was higher than theirs, but because of Xia Zhenyang's majesty in the entire court.
Even if he is the emperor, he has to treat Xia Zhenyang with courtesy. It may seem ridiculous, but it is the truth.
Xia Zhenyang nodded and explained the matter in general.
This case, because there is some weirdness, is handed over to the Monster Hunting Division to handle. But that's not the main reason, it's the key that matters.
The Demon Suppression Tower in Tang Yun's house has been exposed, and the monsters in it are not as simple as groups of bloodthirsty rat demons. Each one of them is a great demon with intelligence and powerful destructive power.
Tang Yun knew how powerful these monsters were, just like Rudong, a monster with wisdom and strength beyond ordinary people was definitely a nightmare for such a bustling city.
In this house, there are three blockades, because the nearby houses are not occupied, so the raised walls here are rarely noticed.
The wall is very high, and there are watchtowers around it, and if you want to enter, you have to enter through the door.
The key to this first gate was equipped in the hands of Feng Xingye, the general of Zuo Yi Zhonglang of the Yulin Army.
But last night, the Feng family suffered a catastrophe, the family died, and the key to Feng Xingye's body was also snatched away.
Jing Liang touched his head; "Master Xia, do you want us to retrieve the key?"
Xia Zhenyang shook his head: "In such a city, finding a key is really looking for a needle in a haystack. We just need to guard the gate, this door was built by the Lu family, and it will take a while to make a new lock. ”
Tang Yun nodded, he knew that this door was not as simple as changing a lock.
This is actually a mechanism, if someone uses the wrong key, the mechanism will be touched, and the two doors behind it will also be locked. At that time, unless there is a final key, this door will not be opened at all.
Xia Zhenyang continued: "Solving the case is too much of a waste of time. It's just a monster, if the people of the Northern Wilderness want to get it, they can get countless of them. I want to invite you, instead of the dead Feng Xingye, to come and live in the Demon Tower. ”
