Chapter 41: Changes in Dragon City (4)
Wuya walked up to Nan Mu Heng and stood still, picked up a letter from the desk and glanced at it a few times, and said, "I can be regarded as a long-term insight, a small gang that ostensibly collects protection money, and secretly monitors every move of the court officials, what do you want?"
Nan Muheng's face changed greatly, he glared at Wuya with hatred, and simply turned his head away without saying a word.
"Don't you want to say, well, I'll guess!" Wu Ya laughed disapprerovingly, he picked up a letter marked with the word "secret" and roughly scanned the contents, his fingers flicked the paper and read: "The sky has changed, and the order is to act according to the plan." ”
He approached Nan Mu Heng's face, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Nan Gang Master, your courage is not ordinary, do you know what you are doing? This is a big crime of the Nine Clans!"
"We and the common people are just helping the Taoist master of the state religion run errands, how can it become a big crime of the Jiu Clan? You want to add to the crime, why do you want to make a mistake!" Nan Muheng gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence, his eyes almost wanting to breathe fire.
"That's right! You're doing a good job of concealing it! On the surface, you're doing things for the Guardian Sect, but in fact?" Wuya pointed to the corner of the letter marked with the word "secret" and said, "You must know this inconspicuous mark!"
The inconspicuous corner of the letter is marked with a sword-shaped symbol that is usually easily overlooked if not looked closely.
Nanmu Hengfei glanced at the symbol quickly, and was silent.
"What does Wuhou Mansion want?" Wuya's tone suddenly became heavier after a moment of silence, and Leng Buding directly said the name of the manipulator behind the kamikaze gang in an attempt to deceive him, Nan Muheng heard that Wuhou Mansion's body trembled imperceptibly, but it was still captured by Wuya keenly.
Wuya's original identity was a secret agent of the Inner Palace, and the Inner Mansion of Daliang was somewhat similar to Xuanyi's previous life in the Ming Dynasty, and the people in charge of the Inner Mansion were all eunuchs, and they were directly under the command of the emperor, with a lofty status and monstrous authority.
A few months ago, due to the secret report that Ningdu Mansion was suspected to be a strange treasure of the former dynasty, the Governor of the Inner Palace, Lu Gonggong, specially sent six first-class secret agents including Wuya to Ningdu to search for treasures, and along the way, he spying on the movements of the Fair Society. Originally, according to Gonggong Lu's assumption, the Ningdu Mansion was composed of six quasi-grandmaster-level masters and hundreds of secret guards of the Inner Mansion, but he didn't expect that the entire army of his subordinates would be wiped out.
When Wuya first arrived in Danyang Town, he felt that things were a little strange, and the first rumor of strange treasures was here, and before Wuya took a closer look, the Imperial Court's Royal Legion Forward Battalion raided this place and fought with the Fairness Party to recover Danyang Town.
Next, the news of the strange treasure spread quickly throughout the six cities of Ningdu Prefecture, and all of them were describing the strange treasures they had never seen before, some boasted that this picture scroll contained peerless martial arts, some boasted that the picture scroll was marked with the address of the treasure of the previous dynasty, and some even said that this picture scroll described the law of immortality.
In short, everyone's eyes were attracted by this miraculous "Shusheng Picture Scroll", and Wuya and the others also received urgent reports from the Overseer Lu Gonggong many times, urging them to snatch the Shusheng Picture Scroll as soon as possible. While paying close attention to the information of the Shusheng Picture Scroll, Wuya was also secretly observing, and he found that it seemed that someone was deliberately releasing the news and faintly concentrating everyone in Rixuan City.
is also an official of the Inner Government, Wuya also visited the deposed ambassador of Ningdu Mansion An Tong, who promoted all military affairs in Ningdu Mansion, because of the huge difference in the identities of the two, in less than a quarter of an hour, Wuya repeatedly pointed out what Qi thought was strange, but An Tong, who was dedicated to being a marquis, did not think so, and sent it away after a few simple exchanges. After some depressed Wuya walked out of the prison mansion, he stumbled upon a familiar figure on a street corner.
The speeding carriage lifted the corner of the curtain, revealing the face of a young man, this scene happened to be in the endless view, he was good at concealing and changing his appearance, and he could be said to have never forgotten the appearance of people, but he didn't expect a casual glance to let him meet an acquaintance.
Wu Ya searched for a moment in his memory, if he remembered correctly, the man in the carriage he had just met should be named Hong Yun, an editor of the Kyoto Privy Council, and Wu Ya, who had handled cases in the Privy Council, had been authorized to consult the information of all the Privy Council officials. A Beijing official, and a small Beijing official who is responsible for studying ancient poetry and books, rashly appeared in a small border town in the midst of war, which gives people a sense of incongruity.
Wuya quietly followed the carriage and found that Hong Yun drove into an ordinary mansion in the city, there were many people in the courtyard, and there were even several powerful martial arts masters, and Wuya could feel the sense of coercion from a few people from a distance.
Wu Ya originally planned to sneak into the mansion after dark, but found that the group of people were already packing up and looking like they were about to leave.
"Hurry up, everyone, pack your bags! I'm going to visit an old man later, so you can leave first and wait for me at the mountain temple outside the city. As soon as Hong Yun got out of the carriage, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pack up.
"Young Master, our mission has not yet been completed, and we may be reproached if we leave like this. A man who looked like a small boss questioned.
Hong Yun's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "If you don't want to go, you can stay! Wait here for death, forgive me for not accompaniing!" Hong Yun entered the house and took a few things, and then left in a hurry, leaving a group of people looking at each other and not knowing what to do.
Wuya continued to track Hong Yun's traces, and found that he had entered the prison army's mansion and had been secretly spying with the prison army An Tong's father-in-law for a long time. Wuya, who couldn't figure it out, walked aimlessly in Rixuan City, thinking about Hong Yun's identity all the time, and unconsciously walked to the mansion of his senior brother Chu Han, so after having dinner at Xuanyi's place, Wuya vaguely warned Xuanyi to leave Rixuancheng as soon as possible.
That night, the Montenegro State dug the embankment of the Luojiang River, and the flood swept through the entire Rixuan City, and tens of thousands of people lost their lives in their sleep. As soon as Wuya returned to the Inner Mansion Station, he found that the station was already full of corpses, and the red blood almost gathered into a stream, and there was no living thing in the entire station.
In the days that followed, Wu Ya had to guard against not only the Montenegrin raids, but also the endless assassinations and raids of the Fairness Party, only to learn that he had been listed as the number one target by the Fairness Party after he captured a Fairness Party member in one encounter.
It turned out that on the afternoon of the day when the Black Mountain Kingdom raided Rixuan City, the person in charge of the Inner Government of Rixuan City led all the secret agents to raid the base of the Fair Society in Rixuan City, and successfully snatched the legendary treasure "Shusheng Picture Scroll". Immediately afterwards, the base of the Inner Mansion was soon devastated by the masters of the Fair Council, and the entire base was slaughtered, and finally it was rumored that the strange treasure was taken away by a secret agent named "Wuya", which is why Wuya was hunted down by many forces.
Obviously, Wuya found that he had been framed, and the corpses of several people were found missing among the dead at the base, and he deduced that the scroll should be in his own hands, just to cover up some ulterior secrets, and he became a scapegoat.
Wu Ya boldly guessed that the person who seized the scroll of the Book Saint must be a spy planted in the Inner Mansion by other forces, so he immediately repaired the book and returned to Beijing to report the matter to the Governor of the Inner Palace, Lu Gonggong, and at the same time used a special method to ask for help from the Shimen Weiwu Sect. After months of hiding in Rixuan City, Wu Ya found a good opportunity to escape, and finally hid incognito in the surrounding towns of Dragon City after suffering a wave of torture.
The sea fishing documents and wanted portraits along the way have explained everything, even the family members were questioned and imprisoned, and Wuya learned that the person who led the troops to raid the house was actually Hong Yun, and the real identity of this Hong Yun was the nephew of Hong Chengqi, who had just been awarded the title of "Marquis of Wu".
Different from the miscellaneous title of "Marquis of Zhenyuan" promised by the crown prince to the father-in-law of Antong, "Marquis Wu" is a single-character lord, which is second only to Marquis Wen among the marquis of the Liang Dynasty, and his status is extremely respectful. In this way, it seems that the culprit behind the scenes has surfaced.
