Chapter 8: Evil in the Sun (I)

Yinshi, Shendu.

The sunlight shone on the entire city, and the mottled wall tiles reflected the precipitated light, and the light refracted by the Captain's bright light armor was even more dazzling, making people dare not look directly.

Knock knock!

A burst of drums came from the Chengtian Gate, followed by the drums of the various squares in the city, the doors of the squares opened, and the people who had been waiting for a long time poured out, and the streets suddenly became noisy, and it was a busy day.

The sound of the drum reached the city gate, and several soldiers worked together to push the heavy gate open, and a row of guards in armor and halberds stood on both sides, and even the air carried a solemn breath.

There were already many people waiting outside the city gate, most of them were chariots and horses from various trading houses, or Hu merchants from the Western Regions and other places. Some of them came to the Shendu for the first time, and they shrank their heads and looked at every brick of this city with curiosity.

On either side of the gate were two tall dragon-shaped statues, cast in bronze throughout, with flying claws and wide eyes, and the lookout was hidden in them, in which sixteen guards and horses rotated back and forth to explore the scene outside the city.

This statue comes from the hand of Yan Shi in the previous dynasty, it is said that when Emperor Yang returned from inspecting Jiangnan Road, he suddenly felt that the two watchtowers were relatively simple and incompatible with the majestic city wall, so he ordered Yan Shi to set up a watchtower here again.

It is rumored that after the dragon statue was built, Master Yan held a pen and ink in his hand and clicked on the eyes of the two dragons. A real dragon appeared, bowed down to Master Yan, and then rushed to the sky, and for a time became a legend that the people talked about.

The people only know this legend, but they don't know that this double dragon eye is the most important place to observe the distance.

At this moment, it was the time when everyone entered the Divine Capital City, and there were special officials to inspect the cars and horses entering and leaving, although there were many people, but they were still in order.

The lieutenant felt something shake in front of him, and he suddenly woke up, and a flag came out of the attic hidden in the dragon statue, waving it up and down.

This means that there is a vision outside the city, and the people at the gates should be on guard.

There was no need for the lieutenant to remind him, several lieutenants had already observed the movement, and the crowd entering Shendu City was suddenly intercepted from the middle. The cold halberds of the defenders were still glowing with cold light, and the few people who were about to enter the city were already frightened, and they dared to complain.

Click!

A fast horse came running in the distance, and many people who came to Shendu for the first time did not understand the rules and rode their horses outside the city. If it is not serious, the soldiers guarding the city gate will only give a warning.

But this man was different, he was covered in blood, and his black brocade robe glowed with a strange purple brilliance as if it had been fished out of blood.

There was even a cracked severed hand resting on his shoulder.

"Stop!" Du Wei's heart was beating wildly, the murderers dared to trespass into the capital in broad daylight, is this worth it?

Rows of ironclad soldiers pushed heavy horses to stop them, and the captain's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that this man was holding a deck of number plates.

"The Monster Hunter investigates the case, dodge!" Tang Yun snorted.

Monster Hunter!

The name is familiar, but it feels unfamiliar.

This is a newly established yamen, which has just broken through the dust, and many people's memories have long been blurred.

"Hundreds of horsemen investigate the case, get out of the way of me!" A fast horse suddenly ran behind Tang Yun, and Jing Liang had already arrived behind Tang Yun.

The lieutenant hurriedly got out of the way, and the rejection horse was quickly withdrawn. Hundreds of horsemen investigated the case and traveled on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and no one dared to stop him.

The two men crossed the high city wall and galloped through the street, when the gate had just opened, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, so there was no confusion.

"Why did you come along?" Tang Yun glanced at Jing Liang.

Jing Liang looked at Tang Yun, who was covered in blood, and said after a long time: "I want to remind you that it will be very difficult for you to enter the city like this." After all, the entire army of the Demon Hunting Division of the previous dynasty was shattered, and it has been forgotten by the world for a long time. ”

Tang Yun didn't speak, and rode towards the Vermilion Bird Gate in the middle of the imperial city.

It was also the door that Jing Liang opened with his waist card, which was also because several guards and captains of the prison guards were familiar with Jing Liang, otherwise Tang Yun was covered in blood like this, even a hundred horsemen would not be allowed to enter.

"Where are you going?" Jing Liang followed behind Tang Yun.

Horses were not allowed to be driven in the imperial city, and although the two entered the imperial city, the horses were forcibly detained by the prison guards.

"Heavenly Official Yamen." Tang Yun took a few steps and suddenly stopped.

Jing Liang was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Yun pointed to the west side of Chengtian Street and said, "You go to Sixing Temple and bring me the case of Fengzhou's assassin Shi Luo Xun." ”

"Haven't you seen it all?" Jing Liang blinked.

"I'm here to catch demons, and your case has nothing to do with me." Tang Yun rushed to the yamen of Shangshu Province without looking back.

"If it's irrelevant, why take it." Jing Liang muttered.

……

Heavenly officials, that is, the officials of the previous dynasty.

Several officials on duty in Tianguan were taken aback, and the bloody guy in front of him was about to enter the case library to check as soon as he entered.

Han De, the head of the Heavenly Lawsuit, stood in front of Tang Yun, his legs trembled involuntarily, and the murderous aura on Tang Yun's body was so unconcealed that his heart trembled.

Where did this murderer come from, why didn't the left guards outside the door stop him.

Han De thought to himself, but he still squeezed out a smile on his face. This is what Master Shangshu told him just now, and he must be good at receiving the person in front of him.

"This is the case library, and the roster of officials in the world is in it." Han De arched his hand.

Tang Yun pushed the door directly in, Han De's eyelids jumped when he saw it, he was very afraid that Tang Yun would accidentally damage the case here, and he would still be blamed on him when the time came.

"What I'm looking for is Luo Xun, the Thorn of Fengzhou, Mobei Province." Tang Yun said directly.

The bloody aura on Tang Yun's body was very strong, and the knife in his hand had not been taken away, Han De did not dare to delay, for fear that this one would cut him directly.

Han Demali found the shelf about the Mobei Dao case, which was full of cases, even if he knew the specific place, it was very complicated to find.

Fengzhou is a central state, and it is also an important military town, although the military generals are under the control of Xia Guan, but the documents are also preserved in Tianguan.

Han De searched for a while, and found a relatively old scroll from a pile of cases. This scroll must have been recently turned over and placed on top.

Tang Yun unfolded, which marked detailed information such as where Luo Xun was from and when he would get his fame.

Everything is normal, this is a very normal official who has passed the imperial examination.

However, Tang Yun still noticed one thing.

"In the first year of the Heavenly Grant, someone told the capital for thousands of miles, but it is not clear, so I will comment on it."

"Heavenly grant for two years, the evaluation is on the top."

At the end of all the comments, there is a "Mo Nanqiu, the chief of the examination".

This is not clear, so it is debatable.

There was a person who traveled thousands of miles to Shendu to denounce Luo Xun, but he didn't expect this Luo Xun to be rated as a middle and upper class in the second year.

Luo Xun's background is clearly written on it, although his background is not from a poor family, but it is not a famous family, and his father has only been a county magistrate for a few years.

It was not clearly written on it, and at this moment, Jing Liang hurriedly ran in.

His unicorn brocade dress was very conspicuous, and the road was unimpeded.

"His case is all over here." Jing Liang handed Tang Yun a scroll.

Tang Yun opened the scroll, and suddenly frowned, he didn't expect that this case could be involved so far.

In the first year of Tianzhu, the Great Zhou army counterattacked the Northern Wilderness, marched all the way, and recovered many lost territories.

The confrontation on the western front of the northern army was the iron cavalry of the Northern Wilderness Zuoxian Wangting, and the two sides fought endlessly.

In October, more than 1,000 people in the Xiaoshan battalion of the Great Zhou Dynasty were tragically besieged by the iron cavalry of the Northern Wilderness, and the whole army was killed, but only one escaped. He fled to Shendu and reported that Luo Xun would not be saved when he saw death.

He said that it was only a mile or two away from Fengzhou at that time, but Luo Xun never avoided the war.

Fengzhou is an important town in the army, and there are soldiers in it, and it is a capital crime in the Great Zhou army to avoid the war.

Although the location of all the deaths in the Xiaoshan camp was covered by wind and sand, Xia Guan sent people to investigate, and it was indeed as the man said.

There are all human and material evidence, but Luo Xun has been a Fengzhou assassin for thirteen years.

During this time, he was not promoted again, nor was he degraded, he has always been the history of Fengzhou.

Someone, help him behind his back.

"Why did you interrogate Luo Xun and summon him to Beijing this time?" Tang Yun asked.

Jing Liang said: "This Luo Xun was reported for withholding grain and grass in the army, and it happened that His Majesty still had an impression of him, so he ordered someone to escort him back to Beijing." ”

Tang Yun frowned and said, "Your Majesty still remembers him?" ”

Jing Liang smiled: "You are from Mobei, so naturally you don't know." At the beginning, the only living person in the Xiaoshan camp came to Beijing to sue the official, how spectacular, and the people in the entire Shendu were talking about it at that time. ”

The whole of Shendu is discussing.

Tang Yun knew that whether it was here or in the future, public opinion in the world was the most terrifying thing.

Even such a game can be overturned, Luo Xun must have something to rely on.

……

Tang Yun was in the prison of Sixing Temple and found Mo Nanqiu, the chief examiner of the examination who reviewed Luo Xun's merits.

Mo Nanqiu took bribes privately, was arrested by Si Xingsi, and has been in prison for three years.

When Tang Yun saw him at this moment, this middle-aged man with loose hair and unshaven beard was like crazy, grabbed the pillar with both hands, and looked at Tang Yun: "Is it an adult who has come to save me, isn't it, isn't it!" ”

Mo Nanqiu frantically shook the iron bars of the prison, but no matter how strong the iron bars were, no matter how he shook them, he couldn't move at all.

Tang Yun walked up to Mo Nanqiu and looked at him coldly: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Speaking of this, Mo Nanqiu retreated again and again, and he laughed: "You still want to trick out my words, don't you think about it!" ”

"Your lord is dead." Tang Yun said in a deep voice.

Mo Nanqiu sneered, obviously not believing.

"Luo Xun is dead, and your lord didn't save him at all." Tang Yun came to Mo Nanqiu's side and got out of the way a bit, so that he could see Jing Liang behind him.

"Hundred Riders!" Mo Nanqiu's eyes widened.

"Tell me, who is that adult, now His Majesty wants to find out, you can try to see if that adult can save you. Of course, you can choose not to say it. You haven't left here for three years, and I'm afraid you've forgotten what the Divine Capital City is like by now. The prosperity of the city has nothing to do with you. ”

Tang Yunwu muttered to himself: "Your Majesty's new order, the north and south cities are all night long, the little lady in Fengluan Pavilion is fragrant, and the dazzling food streets in the north and south cities. has been guarding this dark prison all his life, but the big people behind the scenes are eating and drinking spicy. It's really admirable to be selfless to this extent. ”

Tang Yun stood up and left with Jing Liang.

Mo Nanqiu saw Tang Yun's back moving away from him little by little, as if the hope of life was about to slip away from him.

In the past three years, in this dark cell, his patience has been almost exhausted.

He couldn't hold on.

"I say, I say!" Mo Nanqiu shouted.

Tang Yun did not stop and continued to move forward.

"It's the superintendent of the Imperial Shi Su Tinghe! She was looking for me! There must be someone else behind her! I've said it all, let me out, I don't want to be here! ”

Mo Nanqiu's desperate roar continued to echo in the prison, and Tang Yun left without looking back.
