Chapter 19: The Shadow Spy
The lips of the two slowly approached, already feeling each other's temperature.
At this time, the closed door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, "Miss, it's not good, Mrs. is here, all go upstairs..."
The two quickly parted their bodies, and Cui still turned around, lowered his head and ran out of the private room with a red face. Xiao Zheng also took a deep breath and walked downstairs quickly.
Xiao Zheng walked downstairs and watched Xiaoling pull Mrs. Shen's arm, still saluting her, "Mother, why are you here?" β
Xiao Zheng saw Mrs. Shen come to the harem to chat with Concubine Su when he was a child, and he still remembered his appearance, so he didn't care about the mouth shape and gesture of 'East Run Away' given to him by Lao Li Tou behind Mrs. Shen, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Hello Mrs. Shen." β
Mrs. Shen didn't question and get angry as she imagined, and looked at them with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wan'an~ I just came here to see the jewelry, I didn't expect you to be there~"
Knowing that her mother was lying, she still didn't dare to say it, and explained in a low voice, "My daughter came to the store to have a look and familiarize herself with the business in the store~"
Xiao Zheng also hurriedly replied, "Oh~ This king is also passing by here, but I didn't expect it to be still there~"
I'm afraid that even he won't believe it when he says this.
Only Lao Li Tou looked at this and that, and then fell to the ground in ordinary worship, "Xiaomin knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaomin doesn't know His Highness's honor, his sin deserves death, please atone for his sins." Then he knocked his head up. The little guys in the back were already so frightened that they knelt behind and couldn't speak.
This time it relieved the embarrassment of the scene, Xiao Zheng looked at Lao Li, "Lao Li, are you not guilty, you all get up." β
"Your Highness Xie's grace of innocence~" kowtowed a few more times, and then several people stood tremblingly in the back corner.
Mrs. Shen took Cui Yi's hand, "Still, how is the familiar one in the store?" Do you want your mother to help you take a look? β
"No need, mother" still whispered refusal, "Shopkeeper Li has already told his daughter a lot of things in the store. β
"Oh" Mrs. Shen didn't doubt this matter, and turned her head to look at the old Li Tou in the corner, "Shopkeeper Li, you have to help more in the future, she doesn't have the time to keep an eye on the things in the store, so I have to trouble you more."
"Ah, yes, yes" Don't care if it's right or wrong, first answer yes is now Lao Litou's mind, and then turn his head and think about it, it seems that the owner has really changed, and it's not right, it's changed from a man to a woman, or a "Xiaomin must do his best to help the owner look good at the store." β
"Well, that's good~" Mrs. Shen looked at the still again, "Still, my mother will go back first, you can talk to His Highness again~"
Cui was still embarrassed to stay any longer, took Mrs. Shen's hand and followed her out of the door first, "My daughter is fine, go back with my mother" Xiaoling also hurriedly followed.
Seeing Cui still sit in a sedan chair and go away, Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at Xiao Chunzi, "Why didn't you report to me in advance?" β
Xiao Chunzi also couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say back, "I reported to you, you didn't hear Xiao Ling run up~"
Following Xiao Zheng all the way, Xiao Chunzi didn't ask His Highness where he was going, until he saw an inconspicuous narrow door.
On the door is the 'Shadow Division' written by Emperor Yu Xing, elegant, free and easy, strong and powerful, it can be seen that the person who writes is everyone whether it is calligraphy or martial arts.
Xiao Zheng stood at the door looking at the Shadow Division's signboard for a moment, and then stepped inside.
The Shadow Division was quiet, as if no one was there. There was no one standing guard at the door, but it would be a big mistake to underestimate the Shadow Division because of that.
The strength of the Shadow Division has never been reflected in the open, it is pervasive, whether it is the news of the rivers and lakes or the court, it cannot escape the eyes of the Shadow Division's spies; It is another open dark knife, the reason why the people in the rivers and lakes dare not make a move on ordinary people is because of the existence of the Shadow Division, ordinary thieves have no door and no faction The Criminal Department can still deal with it, as long as it involves the people of the sect, whether it is right or wrong, as long as it hurts the innocent, there is no explanation among the sects within three days, and the Shadow Division has the right to slaughter the whole sect.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Shadow Division, there were some martial arts sects that did not take him seriously, and they were still arrogant and domineering, oppressing innocent people, and the Shadow Division wiped out the three major sects in seven days, and no one survived. One of them also had a famous grandmaster in the martial arts, and then his body hung in the head of Qingzhou City for a month, and finally fed the dog in full view of everyone, and spread throughout the martial arts. Until today, Qingzhou has not risen a big sect.
Xiao Chunzi has been here in the past few days, he took Xiao Zheng all the way into the inner room, and no one stopped him, walked into the back of the bookcase, and turned a wall lamp. The wall slowly opened, and the inside was brightly lit, and people came and went, all wearing black epiphany cloth robes, each busy with their own business.
Xiao Zheng walked in, and someone immediately greeted him, as if he knew Xiao Zheng, "Your Highness, please come with me" After speaking, he turned around and led the way to the left aisle.
There were two rooms on each side of the road that read 'Espionage Division', 'Military Intelligence Division', 'Attack and Killing Division', and 'Yucai Division' respectively. The predecessor pushed open the door, bowed down and invited Xiao Zheng to enter, "Your Highness, please, Lord Shousi should be there immediately", and then did not follow up, turned around and left.
Xiao Zheng came to the room, the room was very large, and there were hundreds of fireproof iron cabinets with the year number on them, which should be specially designed to store some important case files. Xiao Zheng looked at these cabinets as he walked, the year numbers were neatly arranged, and they were not locked, but there was a special fire paint sealing glaze, which could isolate the air, and once it was opened, there would definitely be traces, and this special fire paint was only kept by the head of the Shadow Division.
In less than a cup of tea, the door was opened again, and a person wearing a red epiphany brocade robe walked towards Xiao Zheng from the door. Seeing that the driver was late, the minister asked His Highness to atone for his sins. β
Xiao Zheng looked at the unsmiling face in front of him, perhaps because he had not seen sunlight all year round, his face was a little pale, and his beard was neat.
It was the second time he had seen Li Yilong - the ninth master of the Dayu Jianghu Billboard, a dragon knife that shocked the martial arts, but what was even more terrifying was his peerless secret weapon, it is said that all the people who had seen his secret weapon died under his dragon knife, without exception!
"Lord Shousi doesn't have to be polite, this king came this time to ask, when will the person who killed Xu Yingxia be escorted to Beijing?" Zhuang Xing, the deputy master of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, will arrive at the Criminal Department tomorrow, and Guan Shirong will also get news from Qianji Pavilion tomorrow, Xiao Zheng wants to know the details as soon as possible, so as to judge the development of the matter.
"Weichen was dealing with this matter just now, and Shi Bin will personally watch the prisoners enter Beijing tonight, please rest assured." Shi Bin is the head of the four deputy divisions of the Shadow Division, leading the Attack and Killing Division, and is known as the first person under the Billboard. The top ten masters in the list of rivers and lakes have gone to the third, except for Li Yilong, no one will shoot at will, and with Shi Bin personally guarding him, it should be foolproof.
"It's the only line on the open line at the moment, and we can't go wrong again." This is also the reason why Xiao Zheng attaches importance to this line. The other channels are not as direct and obvious as this line, and the enemy should also know about it, so he will definitely find ways to sabotage the Shadow Division's actions.
"Wechen understands." Li Yilong should know better than Xiao Zheng, and he also understands Xiao Zheng's worries.
"Lord Shousi, this king remembers that the Shadow Division has important case files and secrets of various factions and emperor records of my Dayu for nearly seven hundred years since Emperor Xing, and this king wants to see it." This was the important purpose of Xiao Zheng's visit to the Shadow Division today, he wanted to see if there was any information about the Jade Fan and the Jade Buddha in the case file and important secrets.
"Of course you can, it's justβ" Li Yilong hesitated.
"If you have anything to say, Lord Boss, you might as well say it directly, this king knows the rules of the Shadow Division." Xiao Zheng didn't want to embarrass Li Yilong.
"Yes, Gonggong Fu has already explained, in the future, the Chungong Guild will replace him in the secret order, and the case files and secrets in this room can naturally be seen, but about the secret records of the emperors of the past dynasties, only His Majesty and His Majesty personally ordered that they can be viewed, His Royal Highness is the Prince of Dayu, so he can naturally see it, but Gonggong Chun must get His Majesty's permission." Li Yilong told the truth.
This is indeed the rule of the Shadow Division, since Emperor Xing established the Shadow Division seven hundred years ago, this is an iron law, and it has not changed.
Xiao Zheng nodded, "Okay, Lord Shousi, let Xiao Chunzi check the relevant information here, and you can take me to the secret recording storage room." β
"Yes, Your Highness, please." Saying that, he led the way out of the head office.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Chunzi, and used the secret language of internal force to check the information about the jade fan and similar cases.
He didn't say anything about the Jade Buddha, not because he didn't trust him, but because he wasn't sure what the secret would have to do until now. Once leaked, I don't know what earth-shattering things will happen.
The wisp of love just now may have made Cui still only moved, but he clearly felt the changes in the dantian, and the warm breath was very similar to the feeling of the jade fan and the jade Buddha in his hand.
The internal breath with temperature is no longer a simple running line, but it gives life to this line. He had never heard of this kind of exercise, so be sure to find a clue, even a little hint.
What he needed now was a direction that his intuition told him was no less mysterious than myths and legends.
As Li Yilong went out, he turned left to the bottom, there was only this corridor around, this was a solid wall, there was an oil lamp on the wall, Li Yilong stretched out his right hand, and reached the third brick under the lamp, dark internal force, there were ten breaths, Xiao Zheng had already seen the fine sweat on Li Yilong's forehead, and then quickly turned left, hearing the squeak, Li Yilong took three steps back, and the stone slab under his feet began to slowly open to the left and right, revealing a long tunnel. Li Yilong did not shy away from Xiao Zheng during the whole process, this is the secret of the Shadow Division, and it is also the secret of the Dayu royal family, Xiao Zheng will know sooner or later. Besides, this door is not something that ordinary people can open, and from the fine sweat on Li Yilong's forehead just now, he knows that the mechanism in this wall requires extremely high internal force to open.
Li Yilong adjusted his breathing lightly and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Zheng, "Your Highness, please~"
Xiao Zheng looked at the underground secret passage, he knew that the Imperial Family Inner Scripture he practiced came from here, and perhaps the secret about the Jade Fan and the Jade Buddha could also be answered from here.
