Chapter 15, the man in black in the palace
It was late at night, under the flickering candlelight, Ouyang Hengtong walked back and forth in the house irritably, at that time he was angry and killed Yue Teng, who was defeated in Qingfeng Mountain, was harassed by his family, and sent someone to assassinate his whole family, who knew that Yue Teng's wife was the queen mother's best friend, and the queen mother had been tracking down for the past few days. I was worried and uneasy, and if I was really found out, I could say that I was ruined.
He shouted, "Someone." A person immediately came in, bowed his head and asked respectfully, "May I ask what instructions the prince has?" ”
Ouyang Hengtong's expression was cold: "Invite the military advisor to me." The man who guarded the door answered.
At this time, a man with a black cloth on his head and dressed in black jumped onto the roof of the palace, as agile as a tanuki, and he did not make the slightest sound.
After a while, the military advisor came, and Ouyang Hengtong carefully closed the door.
Ouyang Hengtong's eyes showed a little uneasiness and asked, "Military Master, you handled the matter the day before yesterday very well, and there were no flaws." ”
Zeng Yi stroked his beard and thought about it: "The matter of the day before yesterday couldn't have been handled better." ”
"When I went to court today, the Queen Mother said that it would be thoroughly investigated, and it was best not to be caught by anyone. Ouyang Hengtong was extremely uneasy.
"You can rest assured, the day before yesterday I sent someone to sell the poisoned mushrooms to the Yue family, I was worried that someone would not eat it, but it was troublesome to stay, I also sent Lu Shuang late at night, Wan Laobiao sneaked into his home, sure enough, there was a woman who did not eat, forcibly poured medicine, this is the matter, the next day I personally went to understand the situation, the family is not left, want to check, they have nowhere to start, please rest assured, seamless. Zeng Yi said with a smile.
"Where did your medicine come from, and someone found out when you bought it. Ouyang Hengtong didn't dare to relax every detail.
"The medicine was bought by Liu Yan when he went to Gushan outside the city to find someone called 'Poisonous Spider', and when Liu Yan went, he said to 'Poisonous Spider' that he should not reveal his identity no matter what. The military advisor explained in detail, and said confidently: "Don't be afraid, Lord Wang, everything is safe, unless he is a god in Kyoto Prefecture." ”
"That Wan Hailin has solved a lot of cases, you must be careful, for the sake of safety, it is better to give some money and let Liu Yan hide for a while, the farther away the better. Ouyang Hengtong hesitated a little: "Or, kill him" by his words.
Military advisor Zeng Yi shook his head and said: "It's best not to, if the news leaks and is known by others, the martial arts people will leave with a cold heart, and this Liu Yan is a person from Shengxiaguan, Shengxiaguan is powerful, it is best not to provoke easily." ”
Ouyang Hengtong was puzzled and said, "I mean, if the poisonous spider is touched by someone, it is not good." ”
The military advisor came to his senses and said, "Lord Gao, I will send someone to handle this matter tomorrow." "Alright, that's it, you go back and rest. "Ouyang Hengtong is also tired.
Soon after the military adviser went out, Ouyang Hengtong turned off the lights and went to bed.
A dark night jumped over the roof, so fast that people could not see it, with the help of trees, a few jumps over the fence, galloped away on the roof of the street, crossed a few streets, arrived at the inn, saw that there was no one on the left and right, jumped from the backyard, light as a fallen leaf to the ground. went up to the second floor, went to the lighted room and knocked lightly, the door quickly opened, and the man in black entered in a flash. A few people in the house did not sleep, the man in black removed the black scarf and hood, it turned out to be a flying monkey, and there were Dong Xiaoshan and a few others in the house.
"How is it, have you found any news?" Dong Xiaoshan asked eagerly.
"This palace is very large, I went around a few times, but I didn't find anyone involved. "The Flying Monkey Road. "All of them went around, and no one was found. ”
"I can't find my mother. Amaterasu couldn't hide his anxiety, and he almost cried.
"There are still a few places that I dare not go. The Monkey poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the edge of the table. When Amaterasu heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
"Is there a place you dare not go?" Dong Xiaoshan didn't understand.
"There are a few places where there are a lot of martial arts people, and there may be cultivators, it seems that their kung fu is not low, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will be discovered, and they can only be observed from a distance. After all, the flying monkey had not drunk water for several hours, and it consumed a lot of physical strength, and said, "Hungry and thirsty, do you have anything to eat?"
The people brought by Dong Xiaoshan brought some food, and the flying monkey was eager like a slanderous monkey, just stuffing it into his mouth. "Then how about another trip tomorrow night?" Dong Xiaoshan said.
After eating a little something, the flying monkey felt much better, and said: "There are many masters in the palace, I am a little afraid, I inadvertently found Ouyang Hengtong's house, and heard the secret discussion between Ouyang Hengtong and his military advisor. "I told you what I had heard from the beginning.
"Wow, it turns out that Yue Teng's whole family was poisoned by Ouyang Hengtong!" Several other people smacked their tongues when they heard this. After hearing this, Dong Xiaoshan suddenly felt something touch his heart, walked around the room, and said, "We can send some news to Fu Yin to remind you." ”
"That's right, your trick is called borrowing a knife to kill, if these two places fight, we will have a chance, and it will be much easier to find someone. ”
"Tomorrow, after I put on my makeup, I will continue to go to the people in the government to understand the situation, flying monkey, you have a good rest during the day, and tomorrow morning before dawn I will send a letter to Wan Hailin, and the rest of the people will go to the street to visit me, you go to ask Ouyang Hengtong if he caught a woman back to Kyoto half a year ago." Dong Xiaoshan briefly arranged tomorrow's activities.
Then they put out the lights and went to sleep.
Amaterasu couldn't sleep at all after tossing and turning in bed, thinking of his mother's beauty, kindness, and love for him, and now his whereabouts are unknown, his heart is anxious and depressed, and his longing is like water that has opened the floodgates, and he can't stop it, and after an hour, Amaterasu feels that depression can't solve the problem. I simply sat up and meditated and practiced, these days, whenever I have time, I always keep practicing, the six meridians are full of energy, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the seventh meridian is widened. After practicing for a while, I quickly settled down, forgetting the time, forgetting the pain, and forgetting myself. Use consciousness to guide the sufficient essence to constantly broaden the small meridians, nourish the muscles, feel the muscles and meridians stirring for a while, the muscles and meridians are strengthened little by little, and the essence is constantly surging from the lower dantian, as if an endless tide. It took two hours of practice to finish the exercises, settle down, and fall asleep.
Early in the morning, as soon as the day dawned, Fu Yin Wan Hailin remembered the tragedy of the Yue family, and he didn't sleep well because he had something in his heart, so he got up early, ordered to change clothes and wash up and prepare to go on business. Wan Hailin saw that the white cloth was wrapped in a thing, revealing mystery, and instructed his subordinates: "Pick it up." ”
His subordinates were ordered to pick it up and hand it to him.
Wan Hailin suppressed the curiosity in his heart and opened the package, which contained nothing but a stone, which disappointed him a little and threw it on the ground. But his eyes swept over the cloth wrapped in the stone in his hand, and he saw that it was densely written with words, and the head of the platform read, "The strange case of the Yue family is all here." I can't help but have some heartbeat, unfold and look down through the morning light, after reading it, my heart shook, surprised, the book will be who poisoned the Yue family, the process, the people involved in the case are clearly explained, if it is really said in this way, the case will be easily solved, which is very consistent with their own inference, who did this letter, where is the intention, and I don't know whether what is said in it is true or false.
Thinking about it, I can't think of a clue, but one thing is certain, that is, this book is absolutely malicious, and it should be regarded as the act of someone who hates Ouyang Hengtong. Unknowingly walked to the mansion, Wan Hailin was still addicted to reasoning, and he was not ready to enter the court for a long time. The attendant waited for a long time, and couldn't help but remind: "Fu Yin has arrived, and Lord Yun has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Oh, this is it!" Fu Yin listened, like waking up from a dream, in fact, the government and the accommodation only walked for more than ten minutes, swallowing slowly, thinking as he walked, half an hour passed in a flash. Lord Yun and his standing group of headhunters saw that Yin sat down and saluted together. Lord Yun returned the salute, and the staffing of Kyoto Prefecture is still relatively uniform compared to other states, with three deputies, civilian personnel and dozens of head catchers. Lord Yun's real name is Yun Pinggui, and he is his deputy in charge of arrest, tall and thin, and energetic.
Fu Yin was not verbose, went straight to the point, looked at Yun Pinggui and said: "Deputy Yun Yin, you will immediately personally lead people to arrest the poisonous spiders suspected of participating in the poisoning of the Yue family."
Deputy Yun Yin couldn't ask: "Where is the person, what is the real name?" Fu Yin smiled and said: "The person is in Gushan outside the city, I don't know the real name, you go and find a way to ask, bring more people, be sure to catch him!"
Yun Pinggui immediately gathered people and prepared to rush as soon as possible.
Yun Pinggui rode a horse, just went out, was about to get on the horse, suddenly heard someone call his name, turned around and looked, saw a gray cloth coat on the side of the road, the person with a hat was smiling and signaling to himself, some faces, déjà vu, for a while I can't remember where I saw it, this Yun Pinggui usually loves to hand over people from all sides, regardless of whether they are high or low, this is also the source of their news, at this juncture, a little busy, no time to delay, said: "Forgive me for my clumsiness, I didn't recognize the nobleman, there is something important in my body, how about I ask you to drink when I have time to turn around." After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, and he was about to leave.
This person is Dong Xiaoshan, he brought a hat and pressed it very low, and the things he wore were very ordinary, for a while Yun Pinggui really didn't recognize Dong Xiaoshan when he saw that he was leaving, and he didn't stop him, and stepped forward and said: "My surname is Dong, I have drunk a few times with my brother, and I have tried martial arts a few times, I am a fellow villager, do you still have an impression." ”
Yun Pinggui patted his forehead: "It turns out that you are Dong" suddenly woke up, Dong Xiaoshan is now one of the wanted criminals, don't say anything, look left and right, and no one is paying attention, lowered his voice and said: "I have something important today, I can't accompany you, I will drink in the house when I come back in the evening, and my mansion is on Tongdi Street." ”
Dong Xiaoshan knew what was going on in his heart, of course he wouldn't say it, and said with a smile: "Come and disturb at night." ”
Yun Pinggui immediately arched his hand and said, "I'll wait for you at night." "Riding a horse and taking the men with him.
Dong Xiaoshan visited a few old friends and returned to the inn, and the people who went to inquire about the news also came back one after another. Amaterasu approached with hope, and more than a dozen people replied in unison, in the past half a year, no one has seen Ouyang Hengtong arrest people back, let alone arrest women back, a few months ago after a victory, the horses brought back a lot, Dong Xiaoshan frowned after hearing this, Amaterasu's mood sank to the bottom after hearing this, and he had a premonition in his heart, maybe he would never see his mother again in this life, and he couldn't help but shed sad tears: "Uncle, please look for it again, will it be hidden by the bad guys." ”
Dong Xiaoshan comforted with some sadness in his heart: "Don't worry, tonight, ask your Uncle Feitian to go to the night to investigate again, it is impossible not to find a clue." Seeing him weeping, he said: "You are a man, and a man cannot cry easily if he wants to shed blood without tears." Amaterasu wiped his tears with his hands, nodded and said, "Uncle Dong, I don't cry anymore, but what about my mother, how can I find it?"
The flying monkey also couldn't bear to say: "Hey, poor boy, I'll explore more, I will always find clues, it's really not good, catch someone and ask"
Dong Xiaoshan interviewed several officials and got some information, knowing that Ouyang Hengtong now has no real power, and introduced the situation to everyone, but he still repeatedly told him not to reveal his identity, because he is still wanted, it is right to be careful.
Amaterasu was anxious and uneasy, seeing that no one was paying attention. Sneaked out of the inn alone and went all the way to Ouyang Hengtong's mansion.
He was not familiar with the road, so he asked for directions. With his father's dagger in his arms, he felt uncontrollable anger and hatred in his heart. He went in directly, rescued his mother, and slaughtered Ouyang Hengtong.
When he arrived at the door, Ouyang Hengtong's gate opened widely, and there were several gatekeepers with swords in front of the door, and these people looked arrogant.
As soon as his mind was hot, Amaterasu didn't care about anything, and he rushed in with his sword.
