Chapter 418: Assassination
It gets dark very quickly.
Mo Li sat in his room, but after carrying the true qi of the past few weeks, it was already dark outside.
He opened his eyes, and two divine lights suddenly burst out, which were extremely eye-catching in the dark room.
The virtual room generates electricity, and that's what it says.
However, this divine light flashed away, and Mo Li returned to normal, feeling the situation in his body, and couldn't help but bring a wry smile to the corners of his mouth.
The so-called Qi and Shen are combined, Mo Li has not yet figured it out, although the growth rate of true qi is not slow, but the speed of vitality in the body is also extremely fast.
He wanted to take the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but this kind of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs had to be accompanied by elixirs, so that they could exert the greatest effect, and all kinds of medicinal materials, he had already asked people to help him find them.
I don't know how much lifespan this thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus can last, or whether it can completely heal the injuries of the acupoints around the body!
Shaking his head, Mo Li put all his thoughts behind him, picked up the long sword, and wanted to go out.
It's just that as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw two dark shadows standing quietly in the small courtyard in the distance.
"Zhang Zhutou, Jiang Bantou, why are you here?!"
When Mo Li saw the person, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, although it was an inquiry, his eyes were on the head of the Jiang team.
Although Jiang Bantou didn't know that he would go to the slaughterhouse at night, Zhang Haoyuan's appearance here was inseparable from him.
"I ......"
Jiang Bantou wanted to explain, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Haoyuan, and he said: "Butcher Wang, are you going to find Butcher Wang?" ”
"The head catcher is wise, I heard a little news from the snake king today, and I want to go and investigate because of my humble position." Mo Li said.
"The king butcher is not simple, I advise you not to go, but I know that people of your age will never be obedient."
Zhang Haoyuan stared at Mo Li with his eyes, and said: "Do you doubt that I am, regarding the official document of this case, I have already sent someone to Jinling in the afternoon, please make a decision, at the latest tomorrow, the envoy will come to Gusu." And this time ......"
He glanced coldly at Jiang Cai beside him, and said, "The three of us, no one is allowed to leave the mansion, lest something unpredictable happen, then it will be unclear!" ”
Jinling City is only a stone's throw away from Gusu, and the horse will arrive overnight, Zhang Haoyuan dares to do this, he must be sure that this matter has nothing to do with him, could it be that the snake king lied to me?
It's impossible, the snake king will never tell a lie in that situation, this matter is really strange.
Mo Li frowned, puzzled, but he still said with a gentle smile on his face: "Where did the lord say, how dare you doubt the lord, the humble position just wants to find out the details of the king's butcher." ”
Zhang Haoyuan snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, turned around and left, and didn't say anything.
Looking at his departing back, Mo Lizhong only felt that this matter was full of suspicions.
Jiang Cai came up and said helplessly: "Xiao Mo catches his head, this fact is not what I said with Zhang Jinyi, as soon as we separated, I was sent by him to ask for details, Zhang Jinyi has been in Gusu City for eight years, his ears and eyes are psychic, and he can't hide anything from him." ”
"I know, I know. I'm going out tonight, and I didn't tell you. ”
Mo Li smiled: "I don't mean to blame you, since he said that the envoy will come, then we will wait for the envoy." ”
"Xiao Mo catches the head, I'll sell it again, you must not get involved in this matter again, Zhang Jinyi attaches so much importance to this matter, I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid that the snake king has something to do with him nine times out of ten. Jiang Cai persuaded again, and his face was full of sadness.
got involved in this matter for no reason, and wanted to be an assistant head catcher at home for the elderly, but I was afraid that it would be in vain......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
People always have troubles.
Jiang Bantou wanted to be an assistant head catcher, while Xiao Mo on his side was thinking about how to live a few more years.
"Don't worry, Jiang Bantou, then I'll wait for another day for the time being, and see what happens when the envoy arrives." Mo Li replied.
The two then went back to rest.
The treatment of the six doors is still quite good, it is very expensive, and there is also a public house in the residence, of course, the assistant head catcher who has been mixed for a few years is enough to buy the house, if it is a golden coat, it is even more remarkable, and the three mansions can also be bought.
So for this notorious eagle dog institution in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many heroes are eager to join, otherwise, where can the imperial court cultivate so many gold-clothed headhunters?
Mo Li sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating the idea of Nuwa's view, and wisps of heaven and earth aura slowly submerged into his body, blending into his sea of consciousness, enhancing his spiritual power, and constantly washing away the impurities in his body.
The innate master has been cut and cleaned, and the root bone qualification is peerless, and then there is this kind of concept to continuously improve the root bone, strong body, and Mo Li's qualifications, which can be said to be completely comparable to the various Taoist bodies in the classics and legends.
The speed at which the Innate Pure Yang Wuji True Qi in his body was also running several points faster.
Immersed in this experience, Mo Li forgot the passage of time for a while, and I don't know how long it took, a rooster announced in his ears.
At this moment, a great sense of danger suddenly appeared in Mo Xuan's head, and at the same time, a faint sound of strong wind sounded!
This strong wind mixed with the crowing of the rooster is extremely inconspicuous, but how can it be hidden?
Without any hesitation, he struck in the direction of the strong wind with his backhand, and the strong palm power carried a terrifying wind, as if it was about to break through the void!
In front of this hollow-splitting palm force, the attacking thing was suddenly returned the way it came, and only a crisp impact was heard, as if it hit the blade, and a muffled snort came, followed by the sound of clothes breaking through the air.
Mo Li opened his eyes, and between the shaking of his figure, he had already arrived outside the house, but he saw that in the corner of the door, a deformed silver needle that had been hit was lying there quietly, and there were still some blood stains on the ground.
"You want to kill me?"
A smile flashed on Mo Li's face, which showed that the information he got from the mouth of the Snake King yesterday was already close to the truth, otherwise, who would care about him as a new assistant head catcher?
Come to think of it, the person behind this, no one could have imagined that he could really get the news from the mouth of the snake king.
Then let me see who you really are!
Looking at the blood stains on the ground, Mo Li's smile became even stronger, he mustered up his internal strength, and shouted: "Someone, there are assassins!" ”
"Come on, there's an assassin!"
……
In the main hall of the mansion, the leaders of the six doors of all sizes have been counted, and they all look a little angry.
Also, first the file was heavily fired, and now there are assassins who dare to assassinate the new assistant head catcher in the six doors, this is clearly a thief's provocation to the six doors, how can you let them endure it?!
There have always been only six doors to bully thieves, but no thief has ever dared to bully the six doors so blatantly!
"Zhang Jinyi, why hasn't he come yet?!" Suddenly, one of them asked a little puzzled.
Since Mo Li shouted that there were assassins, the six doors of Gusu City became nervous, from the head of the squad to the fast catcher, no matter where they were, they were all called over.
Zhang Haoyuan, as the head catcher in gold and in charge of the six gates, should have appeared here for the first time, but until this time, there was no trace, no wonder they asked.
A team leader said: "I sent Xiao Liang to invite him a long time ago, but he hasn't come back until now, so something is in the way." ”
When Jiang Cai heard this, he chuckled in his heart, he remembered clearly, yesterday evening, Zhang Haoyuan said that none of the three of them were allowed to leave the mansion, but now, ......
He swallowed, thinking of yesterday's investigation, and asked in a trembling voice, "Little ...... Little Mo catches his head, is it ...... Is he afraid of sin......"
"Jiang Bantou, don't talk nonsense."
Mo Li interrupted him and said, "There is something important to delay, let's believe Zhang Jinyi." ”
Jiang Bantou closed his mouth, but after waiting for half a cup of tea, he didn't see Zhang Haoyuan coming, but he became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, he must have absconded in fear of crime, he couldn't say, the assassin was his own doing, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he wanted to take a risk, who knew that the assassination would not succeed, so he had to flee thousands of miles away!
The team leaders are also in a hurry at the moment, Zhang Haoyuan is the head catcher in gold, and he has never had such a thing in the past few years!
They made a noise, some said that Zhang Haoyuan was assassinated, some said that Zhang Haoyuan was an assassin, and some said that Zhang Haoyuan had been taken away by the assassins, so that the whole city of Dasuo guessed and almost lifted the beams of the house!
"Shut up the official!"
Standing on Mo Li's left side, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face suddenly shouted, and the palace suddenly fell silent.
This person's name is Wang Qi, and he is also the assistant head catcher of the six doors, the six doors of Gusu City, from the golden clothes down, there are three assistant head catchers as deputies, and he is the oldest one with the most qualifications.
There is also an assistant head catcher, but because of a case of Jiangyang thief, he went to other places to track the news, but he couldn't return to Gusu City for a short time.
"The public court is heavy, is it a place where you wait for random noise and roaring, look at what you and others look like?!" Wang Qi scolded angrily.
"My lord, we are also worried about Zhang Jinyi's safety, and I hope that your lordship will forgive you." A squad leader pleaded guilty.
Wang Qi snorted coldly, his eyes swept over everyone, and said: "Zhang Jinyi is not here, is it possible that our six doors have become decorations, let me ask you, from last night to this morning, have you ever seen any suspicious people coming in and out?!" ”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, except for the people on duty at night, most of them do not live in the palace, and they don't know it.
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Wang Qi frowned, and was about to ask Mo Li if he could see the appearance and characteristics at this moment, when he suddenly saw a catcher who said uncertainly: "My lord, I ...... in the morning I seem to have seen Zhang Jinyi in the morning......"
"What does it seem?"
Wang Qi said: "Could it be that you have been in the same office with Master Zhang for several years, and you still don't know our golden clothes?!" ”
"I ...... I just looked at his back. ”
The man hesitated and said, "At that time, when I came out of the early stall, I vaguely saw a back, he staggered, it seemed, it seemed that he was injured, he was going in the direction of the city gate. ”
Hurt!
If Mo Xuan moved, he must have been injured by the palm force of his back!
Jiang Cai was also shocked in his heart, and when he walked to the city gate, he must have absconded in fear of crime!
Wang Qi's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked, "Do you see the adult, is it before the rooster crows, or after the rooster crows?" ”
The man thought for a moment and affirmed, "It's after the rooster crows." ”
"Think about it again?!" Wang Qi was full of majesty.
The man said without thinking: "When I went to the breakfast stall, the city was already full of roosters, and it must be after the hour!" ”
When the people present heard this, their faces changed greatly.
They are all old people who are used to seeing cases, where do they not understand the meaning behind Zhang Jinyi's exit from the city after the rooster crows, you must know that Xiao Mo's head was assassinated, and it was the time of the rooster crow!
"Your Excellency!"
A squad leader suddenly came out of the ranks, saluted, and said: "This matter is very important, don't believe Liu Laosan's words, according to the humble opinion, on the one hand, send someone to find the golden clothes, and on the other hand, report the matter to the Jinling Jiangnan General Office." ”
The suspect in the assassination case suddenly became the leader of the six doors of Gusu City, this kind of thing is not something they can handle at all!
Wang Qi nodded, and was about to say something when a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"What do you want to report to the chief office?"
The sudden sound made all the six doors present look stunned, they were not familiar with this voice, could it be that their six doors had really become a place where anyone wanted to break in?
Wang Qi's face became more and more gloomy, and he raised his eyes to look out of the door.
There, a boot, a six-door boot, stepped through the door, followed by a dark red robe of six doors, but unlike theirs, it was still inlaid with some golden silk threads.
Gold...... Golden!
Wang Qi's pupils shrank, without any hesitation, he immediately bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "See the golden clothes for your humble duties!" ”
The arresters in the entire palace saw the golden clothes clearly, and immediately saluted and saluted.
The owner of the golden robe was a young man with a handsome face, and he looked at him as if he was not thirty years old.
He is holding a folding fan in his hand, with a chic bearing and a gentle smile, he does not have the solemn atmosphere of a public person, but is more like a son of a family.
However, Wang Qi knew that this person was by no means more than thirty years old, because he had already seen this person's power twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, this person was like this, and twenty years later, the years do not seem to have left any change in him, except for those eyes, which are more wise and more elusive.
"No courtesy, no courtesy, it's all your own family, you don't have to be polite."
The young golden-clothed catcher said with a smile, he looked at Mo Li, but the smile was even better, and said: "Little Mo catcher, my ears have been full of your name in the past two days, as soon as you arrived in Gusu City, it was less than a day, and there was a lot of trouble!" ”
Mo Li looked at the smiling face, and only felt that the other party had something to say.
He said with a straight face: "Your Excellency is saying that the lowly position should not investigate the case of the file fire?" ”
"Xiao Mo catches the head, presumptuous, how can you talk to Mr. Jin like this?"
Wang Qi scolded loudly and said, "Lord Jin Jiuling, but the six gates of Jinling are always arrested!" ”
