Chapter 14: New Clues
Under the ghost city of Fengdu, under the witness of the two gangs, Wei Bo fell to Tang Yun's side.
Even if Wei Bo did not die under Tang Yun's knife, no one knew about this. They only saw Tang Yun chasing Wei Bo all the way, and when they arrived, they only saw Wei Bo lying in a pool of blood.
"You killed my brother!" In the White Dragon Gang, a man stared at Tang Yun with bright red eyes.
The people of the White Dragon Gang had a bad complexion, and they had quietly surrounded Tang Yun.
Tang Yun stared at the man, pulled out his knife and pointed at Wei Bo who was lying on the ground, and said, "Do you recognize this person?" ”
"Wei Bo and I are sworn brothers, if you dare to kill my brother, that is my mortal enemy!" The man pulled out the knife.
Guo Jianglong glanced at Tang Yun's body and said, "Are you an official from the Divine Capital?" Do you know that the laws of the capital of God will not work in my abundance? Killing pays for life, if you kill someone, you should return your life! ”
Tang Yun said: "There is a big case in Shendu City, and Wei Bo is also involved. If you dare to touch me, tomorrow the court will set foot on your Fengdu. To be honest, it seems to me that your abundance is nothing more than a joke. ”
"What did you say?"
Tang Yun's words immediately angered many people, and the people gathered here were all abandoned by the Divine Capital, and they were already dissatisfied, but now they shouted even more angrily: "Big brother, the officials of the Divine Capital City have bullied us, or they will slaughter him!" ”
"That's it!"
Hu Yanhu spoke, and there was a sudden silence below. Hu Yanhu stared at Tang Yun and said, "Adults should know their situation, I don't think you are stupid enough to talk nonsense." Since Wei Bo is involved in your case, I have nothing to say, but I still hope that the adults will give an explanation. ”
"Confused!" Tang Yun suddenly scolded, and everyone was startled.
Tang Yun walked up to Hu Yanhu: "I laugh at you for dying and still unrepentant, since I am investigating the case, I naturally will not kill the suspect." ”
Tang Yun's eyes swept over everyone present: "Since this Wei Bo is unwilling to let me catch him when he dies, what is his plan, can't the city lord of Huyan guess it himself?" Or are you people in Fengdu secretly planning something, which your city lord doesn't know? ”
Hu Yanhu's face was red and white for a while, and he was about to speak, when suddenly someone hurriedly ran over.
"Lord of the Castle...... Wei Bo's whole family was killed! The man shouted.
Hu Yanhu was shocked in his heart, and the conjecture in his heart was still shattered.
Tang Yun told him what was going on, although Fengdu was deep underground, seemingly isolated from the world, but still had a close connection with the outside world. Of course, he knows what kind of grand event tomorrow's water and land festival will be.
When the time comes, the people of the entire Shendu will gather, and even some big names in the palace will also appear.
Once those monsters appear and finally implicate Fengdu, then they will really die and have no place to be buried.
Hu Yanhu initially hoped that Wei Bo would do all this alone.
It's good that the culprit is dead, as for whether to protect this official or not, it depends on his final decision.
However, things are still not what he expected, and Weber has died to hide the secret. In this Fengdu City, someone is planning something behind his back. is the most Western Regions person, and what he is most worried about is that the people below him will not obey him. As for plotting things behind his back, it undoubtedly violated his taboo.
Everyone hurried to Wei Bo's house, and the whole house was very shabby. Weber's wife and daughter were stabbed to death in the house, and the wounds were still bleeding outward, and they did not die for long.
Someone killed Wei Bo's whole family and wiped out their mouths.
Tang Yun walked back and forth in the room and began to look for some clues.
The drawer was opened, and Tang Yun searched under the futon again, even the latrine.
The thing was found by the wall, and Weber planted some grass on it to cover it up. The grass was pulled out, and with it a large piece of dirt, a hole appeared in it.
There was a cloth bag in the pit, wrapped in three layers, and the innermost was a box, and the box was locked.
Tang Yun pulled out the tiger head knife in his hand, aimed at the small lock and slashed hard, the small lock shattered in response, the box opened, and a bunch of rough and inferior jade Buddhas appeared inside. These jade Buddhas are exactly the same as the jade Buddhas that Wei Bo sold to Tang Yun on the street.
When Tang Yun threw the Jade Buddha in front of Hu Yanhu, Hu Yanhu's face, which had been calm and calm, finally turned pale.
"I'll look into it thoroughly, a day at most, and give you an answer." Hu Yanhu gritted his teeth and said.
……
Tang Yun left the Divine Capital, and when he left, Hu Yanhu specially instructed that there was no need to wear a blindfold.
In this way, Tang Yun can remember the entrance and exit of Fengdu, and Huyanhu hopes that through this, he can gain Tang Yun's trust.
Walking out of a gloomy room, in front of the door is the yamen of the Shendu Mansion, and there are still many officials walking back and forth here at this moment.
Fengdu is undoubtedly the darkest gathering place in the entire Shendu, but who would have thought that this exit is in front of the gate of the Shendu Mansion.
Tang Yun guessed that this exit was just a temporary exit from Fengdu. Maybe if you leave, this place will be sealed.
A clue has been broken.
Tang Yun walked on the street, although he didn't see anyone peddling the Jade Buddha, he could still see many people wearing the Jade Buddha.
Such a cheap handicraft has spread rapidly in just a few days.
Tang Yun ordered the confiscation of the Jade Buddha in the morning, and although there were many people in the Demon Hunting Division, it was very small compared to the entire huge Divine Capital City.
Since the other party already knew what Tang Yun had discovered, he would naturally come up with a corresponding method. Tang Yun was irritable in his heart, from the very beginning, the entire Demon Hunting Division was in a passive situation.
Who the hell is the person behind it?
The yamen of the Shendu Mansion is in Shangshanfang, and you can enter the imperial city by running over the three bridges.
Tang Yun returned to the yamen of the Demon Hunting Division, and as soon as he walked into the gate, he happened to bump into the eldest grandson Lingxiu who came out.
The eldest grandson Lingxiu looked very busy, her forehead was already dripping with sweat, she saw Tang Yun nodding slightly, and a carriage was already running behind her, and there were a few boxes behind the carriage. Open the box, and it will be filled with jade Buddhas.
"Lord Shaoqing has already paid tribute to Jin Wuwei, and at this moment he has begun to collect it throughout the city. Just now, the general has ordered that anyone who dares to hide this jade Buddha will be punished for rebellion. The eldest grandson Lingxiu and Tang Yun explained.
Horse-drawn carriages rushed in from outside the woods, and the Jade Buddhas were guarded by Jin Wuwei's iron horsemen.
"The Jade Buddha will be destroyed and shipped out, send someone to watch, and no one is allowed to approach!" Tang Yun ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Several wagons were roughly counted and hurried out of the city.
At this moment, Jing Liang suddenly hurried over.
"Your Excellency...... There's a clue! Jing Liang's eyes were bright with a hint of brightness.
In the hospital.
A few Lang Zhong were busy by the bedside, and the stove was still boiling the decoction.
Yuan Rui was lying on the bed with a pale face, he had already opened his eyes at this moment, and an old man next to him poured the decoction into his mouth.
Yuan Rui drank the decoction, a trace of blush appeared on his face, but his eyes were still very tired.
Tang Yun approached Yuan Rui, and a red light appeared on the grimace ring. Tang Yun glanced at it, and then hid his ring in his sleeve.
What Jing Liang told him was terrible, and he wanted to come and verify it in person.
"How is he now?" Tang Yun asked.
Lao Langzhong stood up and said, "My lord, he has suffered very serious external injuries, some of which even hurt his spleen. As for his heart, it seems to have been damaged as well. I gave him three calls, and it was very different from ordinary people's hearts, and it seemed to be faster and heavier. ”
Jing Liang asked again, "Then is he okay?" ”
"Although the heart pulse is strange, it is still calm and powerful after all. I boiled some more medicine and slowly recuperated, and I thought it would be back soon. Lao Langzhong said.
Lang Zhong left, Tang Yun sat on the edge of Yuan Rui's bed, and the boy's face was still a little frightened at this moment.
"What's your name?" Tang Yun said.
Yuan Rui looked at Tang Yun a little blankly.
Tang Yun pointed to the embroidered python brocade robe on his body and said, "I am an official of the imperial court, what happened, why you are lying in the field, you can tell me everything." ”
There was some worry in Yuan Rui's eyes.
Yuan Rui opened his mouth and asked, "You...... And Fangzheng, which official is big? ”
……
Tang Yun ran all the way to Miyagi, only to meet Xiao Qianqin who came out of the Luantai Yamen.
"Brother Tang Yun." Xiao Qianqin said hello and blushed.
Tang Yun found Xiao Qianqin, quickly grabbed her jade arm, and said anxiously: "Quick, follow me into the palace to face the saint!" ”
"Bold!" Several palace maids beside Xiao Qianqin screamed.
"Stand down!" Xiao Qianqin scolded.
Tang Yun also realized that he was a little rude at this moment, and hurriedly let go of his white arm and said, "The situation is critical, forgive me for being rude!" ”
Xiao Qianqin said with a smile: "Brother Tang must have something important to do, and the slave family has nothing to do." ”
Xiao Qianqin and Tang Yun hurried all the way to the Hundred Blessing Palace.
This is also the benefit of meeting this inner minister, all the way unimpeded, without any obstacles. If Tang Yun went to find it by himself, there were so many palaces in the entire palace city, not to mention whether he could be allowed to enter, even if he did, I am afraid that he would not be able to find it for a while.
"Your Majesty, Xiao waits for an edict to see you." Outside, an attendant whispered.
"Qin'er is here, come in." His Majesty's voice was delighted to hear it.
Tang Yun followed Xiao Qianqin into the Baifu Palace, and the empress sat in the dragon chair in the center, and the table was full of musicals.
"Tang Qing, why are you here too?" When the empress saw Tang Yun, she said with some surprise.
Tang Yun stepped forward and walked a few steps, and bowed: "The minister has something important, and he needs to report to His Majesty immediately." ”
The transcript was delivered to the Empress's desk.
From the beginning of the appearance of the locust demon, to Tang Yun's investigation all the way, to the present, Yuan Rui's oral records have all been recorded on it.
The Empress glanced at it casually, her eyes becoming more and more solemn, and she began to look from the beginning.
Yunyang County!
It was a suburb of Shendu.
Sacrificing living people and giving birth to monsters, such a horrific thing happened under her nose.
"Pass on the right Xiaowei General Lu Pengyuan!" The Empress shouted.
