In the east chamber of the Yamen of the Imperial Health Division, the officials of the East and West Courts arrived one after another. The Eastern Investigation Division and the Western Xing Prison Division of the Tingwei Division are responsible for arrest and punishment respectively, and are referred to as the Eastern Court and the Western Court. The affairs of the two courts are not related to each other on weekdays, and only when Shen Hanxi meets in person, can he see this kind of gathering scene.

The sergeants of the Eastern Court were all elites selected from the Tiger Camp, and most of them were brave and good at fighting, and they were masters of the masters, so they did not look down on the Western Court that spent all its energy on extorting confessions by torture. In the eyes of the people in the Western Court, those who take themselves very seriously because they rely on their own military strength are often ridiculous and awe-inspiring. Therefore, every time the personnel of the Second Court met, the atmosphere was tense. As everyone knows, in the eyes of others, they look at each other like wicked people looking at wicked people, just fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.

However, there is a person in the Imperial Guard Division who looks down on both the Eastern and Western Courts at the same time, and that is Xia Xiaoqiu, who is in charge of the Shadow Guard.

Xia Xiaoqiu was promoted by Shen Hanxi exceptionally, and he did excel in terms of force, but his casual attitude made the Eastern and Western courts hate it.

Today, he was late, sat down without saying hello, and lifted Erlang's legs by the way. Although his behavior attracted the disdainful gaze of many people, he did not realize it at all, and talked to the commander of the Xiting beside him with a bare face: "Yo, Lord Long also arrived so early, I thought you were recuperating at home, and you won't come today." Then he asked, "Isn't there a meeting, but what about the adults?" ”

Long Pan is a noble person, and it is not a glorious thing to be injured in the mission, hearing Xia Xiaoqiu say it so casually, his facial muscles immediately trembled slightly. Regarding Xia Xiaoqiu's question, he snorted lightly and did not turn his head away and did not answer.

Xia Xiaoqiu immediately became angry: "What did I say about your attitude?" If I hadn't rushed over that day, you would still be lying in bed! As he spoke, he knocked on his leg, "Master, this precious leg, but it was broken for you......" This knock hit the sore spot, and immediately screamed "ouch".

Long Pan glanced at him coldly, his eyes were full of disdain: "Did you save it?" If you weren't meddling, the prisoner wouldn't have taken the opportunity to run away. ”

"It's not that you fell into the trap of the other party, if I don't save you, you may be crying in front of Hades at this time!"

"Xia Xiaoqiu, have you said enough!"

Deputy envoy Wang Zhuo "coughed" and controlled the scene: "The adults should also arrive." Xiaoqiu, have you forgotten how the adults taught you a lesson? ”

Xia Xiaoqiu heard him mention Shen Hanxi, and reluctantly suppressed his stomach full of complaints, and said to Long Pan: "Hmph! ”

It's naïve.

The commander of the Xiting made He Lanjue like to stir up trouble the most, and he lightly put down the next sentence: "This search mission is that Dongting and Yingwei are responsible at the same time, and if the people are gone, both of them are responsible." ”

This sentence immediately re-aroused Xia Xiaoqiu's fighting spirit.

He slapped the table and jumped up on one leg: "If you want to fight, just say it, let's practice martial arts alone!" ”

Helan Jue picked up the tea cigarette with the lid of the teacup, and in the smoke of the smoke, he raised his eyebrows: "In the next Fu surname Helan, Lord Xia has time to fight with me alone, it is better to take advantage of the suspension to recognize a few more words at home." In this way, didn't adults tell you to reflect at home, when were you allowed to return to work? ”

As soon as these words came out, someone on the Xiting side secretly laughed.

Although Long Pan was not from Xia Xiaoqiu's group, he couldn't help but condense his face when he heard Helan Jue sarcastically mocking himself: "The two of us were derelict in their duties if they were not arrested." However, if someone can take the prisoner away from the prison, and a squad is folded in, I don't know who is more capable. ”

Hearing this, Helan Jue's hand shook, and the tea cup in his hand instantly cracked.

Xia Xiaoqiu was immediately happy when she heard this, and raised her eyebrows at Helan Jue when she saw the joke.

Helan Jue's face was even more ugly, and he threw out the teacup: "What are you laughing at, there is a kind of going to the martial arts training ground now!" ”

"If you practice martial arts, you will practice martial arts, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Although the other party was lame, he deftly dodged the tea cup. The dragon-patterned saber in his hand sent an inch forward with a "bang".

Wang Zhuo said secretly, none of these guys are worry-free. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a slightly cool voice from outside the hall door: "When you go to the martial arts training ground, you must also listen to the official finish speaking." ”

It was raining lightly outside the hall, and under the umbrella held by the attendant in brocade, a cold face was revealed, and a black robe was put on outside the official uniform of weaving gold, and when he stepped into the hall, he easily gave it to Xia Xiaoqiu, who didn't know when he jumped up.

Xia Xiaoqiu dragged his broken leg and followed him step by step to the seat, smiling a little flatteringly: "My lord, Your Majesty didn't care much of you today." If the saint blames him, he should also let Lord Helan bear the guilt. ”

He Lanjue didn't expect him to be so shameless, but with Shen Hanxi in front of him, he could only resist the urge to cut him with a big knife, and lowered his eyebrows: "It was the incompetence of the humble duty that allowed the Qin prisoner to escape from prison and humiliated the reputation of the Ting Wei Division." I am willing to be at the mercy of my lords. As he spoke, he took off the saber at his waist and presented it to Shen Hanxi on his knees.

Long Pan also left the table and made the same action as him: "I didn't bring people back according to the instructions of the adults, and I don't have the face to wear this knife anymore." ”

When Xia Xiaoqiu saw his colleagues like this, he recalled the sentence he had just fallen into the well, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said, "I, I was also wrong." His hand stroked the dragon pattern of the knife on his waist, but he was reluctant to remove it. It is really not easy to stand out from the eight hundred shadow guards and get this knife. How he was willing to solve it.

A beautiful maid handed the tea to Shen Hanxi, he took a sip slowly, and raised his eyes: "Don't be busy admitting your mistakes, you are the ones who should be punished, let's talk about it first." ”

Hearing that there was no blame in his tone, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Helan Jue and Long Pan put away their knives and stood up and glanced at each other. Without waiting to speak, Xia Xiaoqiu had already taken the lead: "My lord, my leg has been raised, you just let me continue to search with Lord Long." I fought the man and gave him a knife. I can catch him if he's alive, and I'll dig out his body when he's dead! After that, he looked at Shen Hanxi eagerly, and his eyes were like a pug waiting for his master to touch his head.

Shen Hanxi ignored him and nodded the name of another person: "Long Pan, among the Ting Wei Division, you are the best at tracking." I've been looking for two days, and I have to have some clues. ”

Long Pan hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, the other party was seriously injured by us and poisoned, and he will definitely not be able to get out of Chongwenmen." The lowly post has sent people to set up defenses in Chongwen Gate, and search door to door, if there is no accident, there should be eyebrows in the next two days. ”

Shen Hanxi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Map." ”

As he spoke, two people immediately brought a map of Ling'an City and unfolded it in front of him. The map was so detailed that it seemed as if the entire city of Ling'an was in front of his eyes. All suspicious locations have been marked in detail, to every house, every secret passage out of the city, and every culvert where you can hide.

He only glanced at it lightly, and said: "Send someone to close the Chongwen Gate and Guangqu Gate, and set up defenses near the medical hall and pharmacy in this area. ”

Long Pan commanded: "Yes!" ”

Shen Hanxi's gaze moved to Helan Jue: "What about the affairs of Xiting?" can escape from the strict Xiting Iron Prison, if it is said that no one responds inside and outside, the official can not believe it. ”

Helan Jue seemed to be a little unspeakable, at this time, he couldn't see the leisure and elegance of Xia Xiaoqiu at all, "Go back to my lord, the inner ghost has been found." But...... Dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates! ”

Shen Hanxi's eyes were unpleasant: "Dead? ”

Helan Jue was a little ashamed: "Swallowed medicine and committed suicide." ”

Shen Hanxi stroked the jade wrench on his hand, which was a habitual action when he was thinking, "Since this clue is broken, there is no need to check it again." ”

As soon as Helan Jue heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Shen Hanxi still said in that faint tone: "Do your best to help Long Pan find someone, if you can't find ...... again" glanced at Xia Xiaoqiu, "Just accompany 'Lord Xia' to rest at home for a few more days." This is the first time, and I don't want to have a second time. The Ting Wei Division has already changed the blood once when I took over, do you want to change it again? ”

Everyone was so frightened that the entire chamber was so quiet that they could hear a pin falling.

Shen Hanxi glanced at everyone and called Wang Zhuo: "Deputy Envoy Wang, explain the rest of the affairs for me, and I will go to the Criminal Department to sit down." The gang of people in the Criminal Department heard that Xiao Yan was lost here, not to mention how happy they were, thinking that they had got my handle, and they were shouting at the Holy Heaven today, not to mention how cheerful they were, they were afraid that they had forgotten who gave them their good days. ”

Xia Xiaoqiu saw him get up, and hurriedly pressed the clothes in his arms back onto his shoulders. A group of people accompanied them to the door of the hall, and after he raised his hand to stop them, he stopped and said in unison: "Congratulations to your lordship." ”

Watching the sedan chair go away, Xia Xiaoqiu grabbed Wang Zhuo's sleeve and asked, "Lord Deputy Envoy, Lord He...... What did you mean, let me continue to rest? ”

Helan Jue replied instead of Wang Zhuo: "Isn't it." Yin Yang sighed weirdly, "Some people have to pull a cushion when they die." ”

"Helan Jue, try one more sentence!"

Seeing that he was about to make a fuss again, Wang Zhuo shouted: "Shut up for me!" ”

Wang Zhuo is one level older than them, but because he is usually amiable and civilian, he has no sense of existence in front of this gang of people who fight and kill at every turn. This voice, revealing a deterrent power that is not usually available, frightened Xia Xiaoqiu into silence immediately.

Seeing that the effect was very good, he squinted his eyes with satisfaction, turned around and entered the hall, let the entourage unfold the portrait, and said, "I have seen it clearly, this person, the adults don't want him to live." Within three days, I will use all the strength of the East and West courts to find him out for me! ”
