Chapter 6 The murderer is a ghost
Wan Youcai covered his flushed face and looked at his father in disbelief.
Wan Jinhai only has this only son, so he is very fond of Wan Youcai. Wan Jinhai himself has no talent, and he was originally promoted from an ordinary general little by little.
He gave his son an unbearable name, just because he wanted his son to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. In fact, as he wished, his son had lived in fine clothes and food since he was born. Wan Jinhai is very himself, but no matter what his son wants, he will do his best to meet it.
Wan Youcai, who grew up in such an environment, naturally contracted a stubborn disease.
In fact, many of the gentlemen in the capital are those with solid backgrounds and firm backings, and this wealth is no exception. Many people actually have a request for Wan Jinhai, Si Xing Temple is an institution that reviews major cases in the country, and no one can get around it if he commits something, so Wan Youcai has naturally become the object of everyone's friendship.
Wan Youcai is not arrogant on weekdays, and when ordinary people see the forces behind him, they swallow their anger and pass.
But he didn't expect to kick the iron plate today.
Wan Jinhai couldn't say the identities of Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin outside, so he had to bend down and say: "The dog has disturbed the two nobles, the lower official is here to accompany the two of them, I will definitely teach this little beast a lesson when I go back!" ”
Xiao Qianqin said calmly: "Wan Jinhai, you are in the Shaoqing of Sixing Temple, you should be upright and not disturbed by the outside world. But this son of yours doesn't look like you at all. If he pokes some basket in the future, how will you enforce the law justly in the future? ”
Wan Jinhai's head was full of sweat, he had just made a big mistake not long ago, but he didn't expect this to happen now.
He no longer hesitated, bent down and said respectfully: "I will send him away, from tonight onwards, he will not be allowed to step into the Divine Capital for half a step in his life!" ”
Xiao Qianqin nodded, and Tang Yun suddenly smiled: "Lao Wan, I know who you are." Your son has done these people, but after all, he is a young man who is ignorant, and he will go back and teach a lesson. It's good to meet us this time, but if you bump into something grumpy, it's not good. ”
In fact, Wan Youcai's age is not much different from Tang Yun, but the gap in status and qualifications makes Tang Yun's words feel like teaching juniors in this way.
Wan Jinhai nodded again and again, grabbed his son's collar and lifted it up, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
Jin Wuwei, who was watching, looked at each other, and Tang Yun walked up to the big man who had just spoken up and asked, "What's your name?" ”
At this moment, even the most confused people know that these two are nobles in casual clothes. The one who was able to let Si Xingsi Shaoqing come over in person, everyone speculated that it might be the prince and princess of the royal family.
The big man said: "The small one is Qiu Cheng, the head of Zuo Jinwuwei Shangshanfang East Street. ”
Tang Yun patted Qiu Cheng's shoulder and said, "You don't have to be nervous, you did a good job today." If Jin Wuwei wants to ensure the daily stability of the people, he must not be afraid of power. ”
Xiao Qianqin said silently beside her: "I heard that the left street envoy of Suzaku Street is old, so you can make up for this shortage." ”
Qiu Cheng was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.
Although I don't know Xiao Qianqin's identity, such a noble person has always been true to his word and will not break his word.
Although he was originally the commander of Jin Wuwei, he could only be regarded as a soldier, but the left street envoy was an official. The difference between these words is worlds apart.
Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin came out of the restaurant, and Wan Youcai's subordinates were captured by Jin Wuwei.
Wan Jinhai wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Xiao Qianqin.
Xiao Qianqin instructed: "Wan Jinhai, let's also tell Lord Tang about that matter." ”
Wan Jinhai patted his head: "What the edict said is that the lower officials are now in a hurry, and they have forgotten it all for a while." I was supposed to go to the Yamen of the Demon Hunting Division to find you, just right! ”
For the dungeon of Sixing Temple was broken open, and the two Ruoshui were nowhere to be found, Tang Yun still heard of it.
Xiao Qianqin told Tang Yun that the two Ruoshui were actually interrogating a captain guarding the city of the prison guards.
At that time, the entire Wakasui investigated the travel records of each gate, and only found a vehicle transporting coal. Subsequently, Ruoshui found records that had been artificially crossed out in some record books.
The records of each gate of the imperial city can only be reached by the captain who guards the city, and after careful investigation, Ruoshui finally locked on the body of a person. So they interrogated them overnight, and that night there was a riot in the dungeon, and the prisoners ran out.
Wan Jinhai walked behind the two of them and whispered: "I have investigated everyone in the past few days, and the soldiers who guarded that day have also checked the family background of each of them, and there is nothing worth noting." ”
After listening to what Wan Jinhai said, Tang Yun suddenly frowned and asked, "According to what you said, could it be that someone not only killed the soldiers, let go of the prisoners, and even kidnapped the two Ruoshui after bypassing the three checkpoints of Sixing Temple." ”
Wan Jinhai's expression was ugly.
He said, it's not a human who does it, it's a ghost!
The three of them entered the palace, and because of Xiao Qianqin, they did not encounter any obstacles.
Tang Yun had been to the palace many times, but Xiao Qianqin took the two of them to the depths this time.
From the Taiqian Palace, go all the way to the palace city, pass through the Chengxiang Palace, and finally pass through the Xuanwu Gate. On the left and right sides of the Xuanwu Gate, it was originally the station of the left and right Yulin Army. But now there are only a few people in these garrisons, and Tang Yun judged from the armor of those garrison soldiers that these people are all from the Longwu Army.
Sure enough, all the people in the left and right Yulin Army were assigned. Because it was a direct order from the emperor, Xia Guan's actions were very fast, and early this morning, the Yulin army left the imperial city from outside the Xuanwu Gate.
To the west of the garrison of the Right Feather Forest Army, there was an abandoned palace, surrounded by a wood, and there was not even a decent road.
"This is the imperial palace of the previous dynasty." Xiao Qianqin answered Tang Yun's doubts.
When the two entered it, they happened to meet a lot of forbidden troops patrolling outside, and it seemed that this place was already under martial law.
Having been walking in, Tang Yun suddenly heard a high-pitched voice chanting scriptures.
"The divine master kills, does not avoid the strong, first kills the evil ghosts, and then cuts the night light. What god is not subdued, what ghost dares to be? Haste as a law. ”
The voice came from a palace behind the woods, Xiao Qianqin frowned, and led the two of them directly in.
It was a ruined palace, covered with weeds through the cracks in the tiles.
A group of eunuchs stood solemnly aside, and an old Taoist in a yellow robe was blowing and beating, chanting the exorcism scriptures loudly.
A few people who saw Xiao Qianqin immediately knelt on the ground, their heads buried and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Xiao Qianqin suddenly said coldly: "What are you all doing?" ”
