Chapter 178: The Second Bloody Case Shook the East Palace
After paying homage to He Tianmu, Shi Zhiyi accompanied He Zixin back to the carriage they had abandoned by the robbers on the side of the road, found some clothes, took care of them again, and prepared some belongings for her with a package, and then stopped a large merchant group on the road that was going to Hailing Prefecture, handed over some silver, and asked He Zixin to return with the merchant group. [This chapter is the first release, love, there is, sound, remember the URL ()]
Shi Zhiyi told He Zixin to write to him after he got home, He Zixin and Shi Zhiyi told him that if he had the opportunity to go to Hailing Prefecture, he must go to her.
Worried that He Zixin, a single young woman, would be bullied in the business group, Shi Zhiyi secretly walked with the business group for five or six days, and when he saw that everything was normal, he left with confidence.
......
Kyoto, Wangjiang Tower.
Looking into the distance from the top floor, the river is like a blue silk, quietly spread on the endless Guiyan Plain. No one can see how many whirlpools and waves are hidden under this calm.
Customers who can climb to the top floor of Wangjiang Building are not simply rich, financial resources and identity are indispensable.
"Xiu Nan, you hurriedly asked me out, what is the matter?" The young man who spoke, with a majestic appearance and extraordinary momentum, was none other than Yu Zhongcheng, the eldest prince who was widely regarded as the best choice for the prince.
"Cousin, recently there have been several gangs to pay tribute, but there is no one for a long time, I sent people to check those gangs, but found that the entire cottage is empty, hundreds of gangs do not see anyone alive or dead, extremely strange. ”
"What's going on?" said the Grand Prince angrily, "How many gangs have this happened?"
Although the guards of the East Palace like Hong Feixi are all people around the eldest prince, for a long time, they have been familiar with the process of going to collect the tribute of these gangs and then transporting them to the Wynn casino for laundering, so the eldest prince generally does not ask.
Although there is a limit on the time for these guards to go out, they are entertained by those gangs, and it is common for them to be delayed for a few days, and the commander of the guards of the East Palace is also well aware of this, turning a blind eye, as long as he gets the filial piety given to him, he will not care more, so the eldest prince does not know that there is a delay in the return of the guards.
"At present, there are about twenty of them, and I have sent someone to check the others, and there is no news back yet. ”
"Anything like this has happened to the other gangs other than those related to us?"
"I haven't heard of it yet, I have asked the people below to check through the intelligence system of Wangjiang Tower, and there should be results soon. But I have a hunch that this time, the other party is mainly coming at us. ”
"Our stall is too big, and there may be a leak of the news, but in this matter, we have always been careful, and there should be no tricks left. The strength of the people in those gangs is a mess, and one or two ascenders can cooperate with a few cold window martial artists to keep a gang chicken and dog behind. I'm curious, who has the audacity to attack us? Could it be the third child?"
"Yu Zhongqian? It shouldn't be him. Over the years, we don't know how much strength he has? In addition to the few generals that Concubine Fu brought from Puzhou, what other people can handle it? If it was really those generals who were dispatched, our intelligence system would have known about it a long time ago. And most importantly, with his wilting temperament, do you think he would have the guts to come to your cousin for trouble?"
That's a good point. But who do you think is going to do this?"
"Could it be your imperial uncles? You are too close to our Daxi family, and those princes seem to have been complaining about you. ”
"How many of them? Except for Prince Rui, who can still say a few words in front of my father, the others are all eager to hold their tails, how far away from the affairs of the court, how far away from the affairs of the court, how can they come to provoke me? As for Prince Rui, it is even more impossible, he is a well-known good man, unless my father speaks, this kind of thankless thing will never be done. If the father really found out, with his temperament, do you think he would just send someone to kill these gangs?"
Da Xi Xiunan put forward several possibilities in a row, but they were denied by the eldest prince one by one, and they were also a little discouraged for a while, and the two suddenly fell into silence, each not knowing what they were thinking.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Come in!"
A little second entered the room with a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a golden silk scorched fish.
"Please use it slowly, the villain will retire first. ”
Xiao Er put the tray on the table, walked backwards, and closed the door by the way.
Da Xi Xiunan picked up a gold-inlaid white jade chopstick, but did not move the world-famous and mouth-watering fish, but inserted it into a shallow hole on the bottom side of the tray.
A half-finger-high, four-inch-wide compartment popped out of the bottom of the tray, and on top of it were several palm-sized pale yellow pages.
"These few pieces of paper are sold for 30,000 taels of gold, and the money from Wangjianglou is inevitably too easy to make. Da Xi Xiunan muttered, picked up the pages, and handed them to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince took the pages in his hand and looked at them carefully, and then handed them to Da Xi Xiunan: "According to the information of Wangjianglou, someone saw a man with a ghost mask nearby before these gangs, and he was about twenty years old from the figure, and he was probably the culprit of the massacre of these gangs. All the slaughtered gangs showed signs of fighting, but there were no corpses, proving that this person was most likely accompanied by strange beasts. ”
If that's the case, then that's the way it is. Some strange beasts with gluttonous blood in their bodies, such as the Sky Devouring Beast, not only are not weak in attack, but also can restrain the actions of those gangs, and devour all the corpses, which can indeed achieve the effect of slaughtering a gang without seeing any corpses. ”
"Now that you know the strength of the other party, then it will be easy to do next. Xiu Nan, you continue to keep an eye on the dynamics of these gangs, analyze the location of this person and the route he is on, and estimate his next target, I have my own way to clean him up, so that this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky knows the consequences of daring to offend me Yu Zhongcheng!"
"Cousin, don't worry, I'll give you the news in one day at most. Da Xi Xiunan responded. In order to avoid internal friction, these gangs they support are at least one or two hundred miles apart, and it is easy to determine the location and route of the culprit according to the specific time of the accident.
"Hmm. The eldest prince responded, and then said, "When you have news, let someone send a message to me, we have been seeing each other less recently." The last time I was detained in the village, my father's anger has not completely disappeared, so we have to be cautious and not cause any unnecessary trouble. By the way, how did you check the matter of the detention village?
