Mei Shuanglin and Mei Yicai personally looked at the corpse of "Fifth Brother Mei" and were shocked in their hearts. The corners of their mouths turned up slightly, and they nodded at each other.

Zhou Dongcang asked: "The two children told me, I think it's a little incredible, how can 'Fifth Brother Mei' commit suicide?"

Mei Shuanglin and Mei Yicai glanced at each other, exchanged their thoughts with their eyes, and shook their heads slightly.

Mei Shuanglin said: "Gang Master Zhang was killed, and the owner of Wuzhuang was also killed. What's going on? I would like to ask Director Zhou to find out. ”

Zhou Dongcang looked at Li Xiao and Wu Xiaoze, and then at Xuan Zhongxian, Mao Daochang and Wen Daochang, and said in his heart: "Fifth Brother Mei" is very capable and has high merits, and the owner of the big village and the second owner have long been dissatisfied with him.

Xuan Zhongxian saw that Zhou Dongcang was silent in thought, and said with a smile: "The war outside is urgent. It is better for Zhou Da to concentrate on dealing with the enemy. The murder case will be handed over to the head of the criminal chamber to investigate, right?"

Zhou Dongcang realized that this is the best, as a leader, how can I do specific things! It is my job to be far-sighted and make good plans. "What's the matter with the head of the torture chamber?"

The clerk said softly in Zhou Dongcang's ear: "Not here." ”

"There has been such a big murder, why didn't the owner of the criminal house come to the scene?"

The clerk was silent.

"Is the deputy head of the torture room here?"

"Not here. The clerk replied, "He went to Badaoling Village, where a major murder occurred. ”

An evil fire rose in Zhou Dongcang's heart.

Xuan Zhongxian said: "The main mansion has been taken over by the Meishan guards. It's better to hand over the task of tracking down the real murderer to the owner of Meida Zhuang!"

Mei Shuanglin just reacted and didn't speak yet.

Zhou Dongcang took the lead and said: "Okay, it's decided." In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are taken. I asked Brother Mei to bother to investigate. ”

Before he finished speaking, he pulled Xuan Zhongxian and walked to his wing. Fang Qiushui and Escort Xin followed behind the two big principals, and finally stood in front of Zhou Dongcang's door and waited like the Meishan guards outside the door.

Zhou Dongcang said: "The five owners of Meishan Villa are dead. What do you think of Xuanda's affairs?"

"As the two children said, he died by suicide. ”

"He's a fifth-order qi refiner, so it's a pity that he died like this. ”

"It's good not to be used by you, but it's good to die. ”

While the two were talking, a guard knocked on the door and said, "Report, the owner of Mei Da Zhuang and the second owner of Mei Er Zhuang have something to report." ”

"Ask them to come in. ”

Mei Shuanglin and Mei Yicai entered Zhou Dongcang's wing one after another, Mei Shuanglin held the blood-stained invisibility cloak, the stealth cloak and the Qianxuan double-edged knife that had been wiped clean, walked in front of Zhou Dongcang, and said, "These 'things' will be handed over to the big master." ”

Zhou Dongcang motioned to Mei Shuanglin to put the "Wushi" on the table, and said, "The two brothers have worked hard, I don't know how the two of you investigated the two murders?"

Mei Shuanglin said: "After a thorough investigation, it will be found out in three days: Gang Leader Zhang offended Jiang Longwei's army and was killed by Jiang Longwei's special team. 'Fifth Brother Mei' suffered from depression and died by suicide. ”

"The owner of the big village also knows about the special team of Jiang Longwei's Chinese army?"

"The deputy director of the torture room is also a member of our city townspeople's association. ”

"Well, that's good. Master Mei, you don't have a place to live in Yuanyang City, and the Yuanyang City Merchant Mansion, which is located in Xiaonanmenfang, is temporarily occupied by you; ”

"Thank you, Principal. "Thank you, Chief!"

"The two elder brothers go to rest first, and I will discuss things with Director Xuanda. ”

Mei Shuanglin and Mei Yicai exited the wing room one after another.

Zhou Dongcang closed the door and said, "Master Xuanda, according to reliable sources, before dawn, Liu Xi's Balongwei army will arrive at the east gate of Yuanyang City. ”

"Hmm. ”

"At present, Jiang Longwei from the south and Green Longwei from the north have withdrawn. Only the Tyrannosaurus from the east remained. ”

"yes. ”

"Lord Xuanda, when will the rescuers from the imperial capital arrive?"

"Lord Zhou, I said that as long as Linghu dies without illness, I will fulfill my promise. ”

"This is an extraordinary period, and killing generals without permission may cause the morale of the army to be weakened. ”

"What if he dies?"

"How can you die in battle so easily!" Zhou Dongcang knew in his heart that Xuan Zhongxian would definitely cause Linghu to die without illness.

As the two were talking, "Dudu", a guard knocked on the door and said, "Report, the herald at the east gate has something important to report." ”

"Let him in. ”

After pushing the door open, a herald stepped into the room, knelt on one knee, and said urgently: "Report." Outside the east gate, a Tyrannosaurus soldier appeared. ”

"How many are there?"

"The number of people could not be determined, there were thousands of torches. ”

Zhou Dongcang's eyes widened, and said, "Xuanda is in charge ......" Before he finished speaking, he helped the herald with both hands, "Well, it's okay." You go back to the east gate, pass on my order, and ask the chief instructor Linghu to immediately send an envoy to the Baronowei camp to investigate the information of the Barona Guard, and discuss a peace agreement with Liu Xi, the commander of the Baronon Guard. ”

"Ordered. ”

"There you go. ”

Watching the herald go out of the door, Zhou Dongcang shouted outside the door: "Go and call the deputy head of the torture room!"

The head of the clerical room outside the door replied: "The deputy director of the torture room has gone to Badaoling Village to deal with the extraordinarily serious homicide case." ”

"Well, I know. Now, take my seal, and bring Assassin Fifteen to me. ”

"Boss, wait a moment, and I'll go and bring the prisoner to you. ”

Xuan Zhongxian said with a smile: "Lord Zhou is really a good plan. Admire, admire. ”

"I can't catch up with Xuanda, the main thing is young and promising. I have already made up my mind to avenge Lord Xuanda's affairs. Can the head of Xuanda recruit reinforcements? Not to mention the speed of the soldiers. ”

When Linghu was still alive and well, Zhou Dongcang took the opportunity to ask Xuan Zhongxian to recruit reinforcements, which was a sign of bargaining.

Xuan Zhongxian felt that the situation was indeed urgent, at present, Yuanyang City only had thousands of soldiers defending the city, and it was impossible to resist the attack of tens of thousands of regular troops. "Good. I have been an official in the same city as Director Zhou for more than three years, and I believe that Director Zhou will be true to his word. ”

Zhou Dongcang was so angry that his teeth hurt, it turned out that Xuan Zhongxian had been waiting, but the reason why he didn't send troops was that he didn't trust him. Xindao: Hey, the people of the Great Xuan Kingdom are too smart and don't trust each other. What we do best is deception and infighting. If you don't have the skill of deception, you are not smart, and everyone is not only good at internal fighting, but also external fighting, otherwise it is impossible to make the Great Xuan Kingdom exist for a thousand years!

Xuan Zhongxian took out a sparrow-sized blue bird from his waist and said to it, "Go and tell Green Tea that the Heavenly Cavalry can attack." ”

"Heavenly cavalry?" Zhou Dongcang was very surprised, "It's a heavenly cavalry." I've only heard of this cavalry, never seen it with my own eyes. ”

The Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry is one of the twenty-two cavalry of the Seven Regions of the Great Xuan Kingdom, all of which are cavalry mounted by birds. The cavalry is all selected from the generals' mansions in the Seven Regions of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

In short, their equipment performance is five stars, individual combat ability is five stars, mobility is five stars, and combat effectiveness is five stars, which is much higher than Yuan Yangwei's one star.

"These are the 3,000 heavenly cavalry of the Upper Capital, sent by my father. "Xuan Zhongxian's father is Xuan Ming, one of the scholars of the palace.

Zhou Dongcang thought that it was really as Xuan Zhongxian said about the thousand reinforcements, but he didn't expect it to be three thousand Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry!" "Come on, the army of the Dragon Guard." Let you have no return. ”
