At the same time, in Chang'an, far away from the capital, Shen Muzhi took a case file and came to the cell where Black Flame and Wang Ji were imprisoned.

Seeing that Shen Muzhi was coming, Black Flame said casually: "Lord Shen came so fast, we were still thinking about how to escape, and Lord Shen came." ”

"What is Lord Shen coming to us for this time?"

Shen Muzhi said lightly: "It's still for the last incident." ”

Black Flame said disdainfully: "Lord Shen is not dead yet, I said it last time, it is impossible." ”

Shen Muzhi raised the file in his hand, looked at the black flame and said: "Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to refuse, first listen to what Shen is going to say this time, if Your Excellency still refuses at that time, Shen will never stop you." ”

Black Flame's eyes were firmly fixed on the file in Shen Muzhi's hand.

Shen Muzhi saw Black Flame's expression, so he handed the file in his hand to Black Flame.

Black Flame immediately took the file and opened it, and the kings on the side leaned over curiously to see what was written on the file.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Jie's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but speak: "Black Flame...... It's not your ......."

Wang Jun, who blurted out, was shocked and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Black Flame looked at the file in a daze, then raised his head and said with a solemn expression: "How did Lord Shen learn about this case and me...... Relative? ”

Shen Muzhi said lightly: "That day, I felt that you had some resentment towards the government, so I wondered if the government had misjudged any case against you. Although this conjecture was unfounded, I had to try my luck in this direction at the time. ”

"I listen to your accent, you should be a native of Chang'an, and you are also very young, so I ordered someone to find the case files of unsolved cases in Chang'an in the past 30 years."

"There are so many cases, I really can't find a clue, and just when I wanted to give up, it was the Chang'an prefect who helped me."

"When I turned to a case of exterminating the door 23 years ago, the prefect of Chang'an told me that the suspect in this case was the Lu family who was killed, but the Lu family was not mentioned in the file."

"That's why I came to you with this dossier for verification."

"Look at your expression, the Zhang Mansion that was the victim in the case twenty-three years ago is your family?"

Black Flame quietly listened to Shen Muzhi's words, suddenly smiled mockingly, and said, "The prefect of Chang'an really knew that the murderer back then was the Lu family, but he allowed this case to become an unsolved case for twenty-three years. ”

Shen Muzhi listened quietly as Black Flame continued.

"Back then, their Lu family had a big business, and it was indeed easy to collude with the government."

"So, twenty-three years later, I also want to let them taste the taste of the Lu clan who have died and their grievances have not been redressed."

Shen Muzhi said: "The reason why you don't allow the prefect of Chang'an to settle this case hastily is that you want the case of the extermination of the Lu clan to become an unsolved case?" ”

Black Flame nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"I was only five years old back then, because when the Lu clan came to kill people, I happened to follow the nurse and was not in Chang'an, so I escaped. By the time I returned to Chang'an, my home no longer existed, and the nurse even took me to hide in Tibet, not daring to go to the government to seek justice, for fear that the Lu people would find out that I was not dead. ”

"This hiding, it is so many years, hiding until I joined the Hellfire Temple, and I have the ability to take revenge."

Shen Muzhi listened to Black Flame's words, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, although you have a certain right to speak in the Hellfire Palace, you are not the supreme ruler of the Hellfire Palace?" ”

Black Flame nodded, affirming Shen Muzhi's thoughts.

Shen Muzhi smiled slightly and said, "Therefore, refusing the emperor's commission is just your personal will." ”

Black Flame snorted coldly and said: "When I was down, it was the elders who rescued me back, and the elders brought me up single-handedly, treating me as their own, and the eyelids of the Hellfire Hall are not so shallow, and they can't wait to go up to invite merit because it is the emperor's commission, so I don't bother Lord Shen about this." ”

Shen Muzhi said slowly, word by word: "What if I can rehabilitate the case twenty-three years ago?" ”

Hearing this, Black Flame was obviously stunned for a moment.

Shen Muzhi continued: "If I rehabilitate you, in exchange, can you accept the emperor's commission?" ”

"If you agree now, I will go and inform the prefect of Chang'an, and I can rehabilitate you immediately."

Black Flame suddenly laughed and said, "Anyway, now that the Lu clan is dead, even if he is rehabilitated, it won't hinder his position in the Chang'an Prefect's Mansion, right?" ”

"This world is really ......"

"Okay, Lord Shen, if you rehabilitate our family, I will promise to let the Hellfire Palace do things for the emperor."

Shen Muzhi said: "Deal." ”

After Shen Muzhi successfully negotiated with Black Flame, he went to the prefect of Chang'an and said straight to the point: "Lord Prefect, please rehabilitate the Zhang family in this case." ”

After speaking, Shen Muzhi handed the file in his hand to the Chang'an prefect.

The prefect of Chang'an doesn't need to open it to see it, and he knows that it is the case of Zhang's extermination 23 years ago.

The prefect of Chang'an was very annoyed in his heart, why did he not have a guard at that time, and he said whatever he thought, and even admitted that the suspect in this unsolved case was the Lu family, which doesn't show that he is the prefect of Chang'an.

The prefect of Chang'an trembled and held this dossier, wanting to explain something, and said, "Lord Shen...... The case...... Although there were suspects, there were no ...... No evidence......"

Shen Muzhi glanced at the prefect of Chang'an and said, "Lord Prefect, I won't pursue the previous matter, but now, you want to close the case from twenty-three years ago, the Lu family is the murderer, I say so, does the prefect understand?" ”

When the prefect of Chang'an heard this, he nodded busily and said, "I understand, I understand, let's do it for the small one." ”

The prefect of Chang'an paused and asked cautiously: "Lord Shen, what about the case of the Lu family's extermination, and it will not be investigated?" The Hellfire Temple behind it is not caught? ”

Shen Muzhi smiled lightly and said, "The prefect should also be able to guess that the emperor sent me to Chang'an this time, but not to solve the case." ”

The prefect of Chang'an thought about it, rolled his eyes, and nodded.

Shen Muzhi continued: "Since it is the emperor's business, I won't say it, the prefect doesn't know, and it's a good thing for the prefect." The prefect should not be exhausted. ”

"As for the case of the Lu family being wiped out this time, let's just hang it like this, there is no need for a murderer."

Although the prefect of Chang'an had a hundred questions in his heart, he could only nod his head and promised: "The little one understands." ”

Shen Muzhi said: "This time I can complete the task assigned to me by the emperor, the prefect also has credit, the prefect can rest assured, I return to the capital, and Shen will give the prefect good words in front of the emperor." ”

The prefect of Chang'an was happy at this time, and when he heard that Shen Muzhi was willing to say good things to himself in front of the emperor, he immediately threw the doubts in his mind out of the clouds, and said happily: "Thank you, Lord Shen, the little one will go to do something, and the case from twenty-three years ago will be rehabilitated within today." ”

Shen Muzhi went to the cell again, and this time, Shen Muzhi personally released Black Flame and Wang.

Shen Muzhi said: "The prefect of Chang'an handled this matter very quickly, and the case has been rehabilitated." ”

"And the case of the Lu family's extermination, under my instruction, will also be dealt with according to the inability to catch the murderer, and it will become an unsolved case."

"So, Black Flame, are you satisfied?"

The case of the past twenty-three years was rehabilitated in an instant, and Black Flame suddenly had some unrealistic feelings, and a big stone in his heart finally fell.

Black Flame nodded and said solemnly: "Lord Shen, don't worry, since I had an agreement with Lord Shen before, Black Flame will never break my promise." ”

"What is the emperor's commission?"

Shen Muzhi said succinctly: "Go to the capital and assassinate Prince Yin's family." ”

Hearing Shen Muzhi's answer, Black Flame and Wang were both stunned, Black Flame couldn't help laughing, and said, "Isn't Prince Yin the emperor's own brother?" Prince Yin has conscientiously guarded the frontier for so many years, and some time ago he was wronged and accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and now he is going to be asked for his life by the saint. ”

"This royal affair is really embarrassing."

Shen Muzhi said lightly: "Do you accept this commission?" ”

Black Flame said: "Of course you have to accept it, since Black Flame promised Lord Shen, she will not break her promise." ”

"What's more, it's such an interesting task, it's Prince Yin, it's really exciting."

When it is strong, it is strong, and Black Flame is a little eager to try.

Shen Muzhi said: "Your Hellfire Hall wants to go to the capital with me, there is not much time left, the emperor only gave me a month, and now there are only ten days left, which is only enough for us to rush from Chang'an to the capital." ”

Black Flame said: "Lord Shen, don't worry, now I will go back and explain the situation to the brothers of the Hellfire Palace, and see you at the gate of Chang'an City early tomorrow morning, and we will return to the capital with Lord Shen." ”

The next morning, Shen Muzhi rode a sweaty BMW to the gate of Chang'an City under the reluctant eyes of the prefect of Chang'an.

At the gate of the city, a group of people dressed as dart masters were waiting, Shen Muzhi looked at it, there were about thirty people, and Shen Mu recognized the black flame in it at a glance.

Black Flame saw the sweaty and bloody horse that Shen Muzhi was riding, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "This is really a good horse, was it rewarded to Lord Shen by our client for this mission?" ”

Shen Muzhi nodded, noncommittal.

Shen Muzhi glanced at the dart cart escorted by the people of the Hellfire Temple, and said, "Escorting this dart cart, do you go fast?" ”

Black Flame said: "Lord Shen, don't worry, this is just a way for our group of people to want to go out of the city gate and hide people's eyes and ears under this large public. When we get out of the city gate, we will no longer take the official road, so we can naturally leave this camouflage dart cart and hurry up. ”

Shen Muzhi nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

Shen Muzhi's trip to Chang'an finally came to an end, and Shen Muzhi successfully took the Hellfire Hall towards the capital.

And at the gate of Prince Yin's mansion in the capital, Yin Jiuyue took a group of his subordinates and set up a porridge shop.

Zhuzhi shouted at the door: "Our county lord has done good deeds, these days, there will be free porridge at the gate of Prince Yin's mansion every day." ”

The people heard the shouting of the bamboo branches, and as soon as they heard that there was free porridge to drink, they came up to ask for porridge to drink.

This matter spread ten times to hundreds, and after a while, it seemed that the homeless and poor people in the whole capital flocked to the door of Prince Yin's mansion.

Hu Qu, who came a little late, looked at the grand scene of the crowd in front of him, he was very confused, he was just a little late, why are there so many people in front of him?

So how long do you have to wait for me to get my head with Xiaolian today?

Hu Qu could only resign himself to his fate and obediently went to line up.

Hu Qu heard the discussion of the people in front of him.

"This Showa county lord is actually giving porridge himself."

"That's right, this Showa County Lord is really beautiful."

"Yes, it's not as fierce and domineering as the rumors, it seems that this rumor is not credible."

"Yo, anyway, now that the Showa Lord has dissolved the marriage contract, why don't you go up and try it? Showing your heart to the Showa Commander, maybe the Showa Commander will agree to you kid with a confused mind. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! In my opinion, the maid next to the Showa County Lord's hair covering half of her face is also very beautiful, no worse than the Showa County Lord. I don't dare to hope for the county lord, but I am really a little tempted by this maid. ”

Although Hu Qu was blocked by the people in front of him, and he couldn't see who was giving porridge on the porridge shop, but when he heard the maid who covered half of his face as described by the people around him, Hu Qu knew that Xiaolian was there.

To Hu Qu's surprise, Yin Jiuyue was actually giving porridge in person, Hu Qu thought about it, maybe this Yin Jiuyue was really afraid of Xiao Yu's ghost in his heart, so he did it himself.

Hu Qu thought about it, this is good, this Yin Jiuyue is busy giving porridge all day long, which means that she has no time to do any small actions.

Hu Qu queued up until the third pole of the day, and then he got to himself, and Hu Qu was already hungry.

After Hu Qu could see who the person in front of him was, he found out that he had agreed with Xiaolian yesterday to line up with Xiaolian's team, but now he was lining up Yin Jiuyue's team.

But Hu Qu is too hungry now, so naturally it is impossible to go back to Xiaolian's line.

Hu Qu thought to himself, this Showa County Lord is busy with soup kitchen, there should be no situation on Xiaolian's side that needs to be reported today, forget it today, just come to Xiaolian's line early tomorrow morning.

Thinking about it like this, Hu Qu held his broken bowl with peace of mind, waiting for Yin Jiuyue to give him porridge.

Xiaolian on Yin Jiuyue's side saw Hu Qu not far away, and immediately coughed lightly.

Hu Qu heard Xiaolian's cough, and immediately raised his head and looked at Xiaolian, thinking that Xiaolian was reminding him that he was in the wrong line.

Hu Qu immediately cast a look at Xiaolian who was fine.

And what Hu Qu didn't know, Yin Jiuyue saw all his actions.

In fact, Xiaolian's voice was a reminder to the two of them, a tacit understanding has been cultivated between Xiaolian and Yin Jiuyue in the past few days, as soon as Xiaolian coughed, Yin Jiuyue knew that it was Hu Qu, the emperor's informant, who appeared, Yin Jiuyue swept the people in front of her, and immediately found Hu Qu who looked at Xiaolian.

After Yin Jiuyue discovered Hu Qu, her eyes did not linger on Hu Qu for long, but lowered her eyes lightly and continued to give porridge to people quietly.

There was only one person left in front of Hu Qu, Yin Jiuyue took the opportunity to hand the porridge bowl to the person in front of him, secretly found the small pebble he hid in his sleeve, and with a strong hand, he hit the stone on Hu Qu's knee accurately.

Hu Qu's knee hurt without warning, and Hu Qu immediately fell to the ground, and by the way, the person in front of him who had just received the porridge also fell to the ground.

Hu Qu fell to the ground, and immediately became angry and scolded: "Who! Dare to mess with Lao Tzu! Who deliberately kicked grandpa me and stood up! Look at grandpa, I won't kill him! ”

Hu Qu thought that he had been kicked by someone when his knee hurt just now, after all, this porridge shop was crowded in front of people, and it was not surprising that Hu Qu thought so.

Yin Jiuyue listened to the shouting of this Hu Qu, and his grandfather was long and his grandfather was short, and he couldn't help frowning, and found that the voice of this Hu Qu was a little sharp, although it was not as terrifying as Li Gao, but he also knew that it was not a normal man's voice when he listened to it.

Xiaolian also found out, Xindao turned out that this Hu Qu was a eunuch, and the first two times Xiaolian talked to Hu Qu and didn't find out, it should be because Hu Qu deliberately lowered his voice at that time.

Xiaolian thought to herself, although she hadn't seen this Hu Qu when she was in the palace, she should also be a person who worked beside the emperor, and now she was sent by the emperor to pretend to be a beggar to monitor herself, she must be unhappy in her heart, and she should be superior in the palace and arrogant, so she became angry as soon as she fell.

Xiaolian knew that it should be Yin Jiuyue who made a move, and thought of what Yin Jiuyue said yesterday to give Hu Qu some color and take revenge for her fall, Xiaolian couldn't help but have a good show.

Hu Qu was angry, and the people who were knocked down by Hu Qu were even more angry.

The man looked at the porridge he had just received, but now it had been sprinkled on the ground, and his heart ached.

The man immediately stood up, kicked Hu Qu who was still on the ground, and scolded: "Return grandpa, you knocked down grandpa and me, and dare to shout, grandpa, the porridge I just received was completely destroyed by your kid." ”

Hu Qu was kicked clearly, and his heart was angry, and he immediately raised his head, ready to reason with that person.

Hu Qu looked up, but saw a long scar on the face of the gangster-looking person in front of him.

Hu Qu couldn't help but feel a little cowardly, although he could play prestige in front of palace people with a lower status than him when he was in the palace, but now his identity is a beggar, and he was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, so it's better to keep a low profile.

But he was kicked by the gangster in front of him in front of everyone, and he couldn't save face, Hu Qu said a little unwillingly: "I was kicked by someone before I fell, and I just knocked you down." ”

The thug's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Why don't people kick you sooner or later, but as soon as I got the porridge, you bumped into it, I think you did it on purpose!" ”

Hu Qu was anxious, thinking that it really didn't make sense to reason with the gangsters outside.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Quyi was excited, and his voice became even sharper.

At this time, the people around also found that Hu Qu's voice was wrong, and began to discuss.

"Why is this man's voice as sharp as a woman's?"
