Chapter 159: Unstoppable Rumors
Just as Chen Chen was still thinking about the reason for the city lord's murder, suddenly a subordinate of the sixth prince ran over anxiously, "Report to His Royal Highness, the investigation of Yunsheng's shop has been decided." Huangfu summoned a few of his subordinates to invite the family members of the lord of Xiaoying City away, turned to the subordinates who came to report, and said, "Say it." ”
"This ......" the subordinate turned his head to look at Chenchen who was wandering around, and stopped talking.
"Let's say, Brother Chen, he's not an outsider."
"Yes! In the following investigation, it was found that most of the assassinations this time were related to the 'blood Tan organization'. ”
Bloody?! Chenchen's ears suddenly moved. Isn't it just to investigate this organization that he's worked so hard for so long to help track down this kind of thing? It's really paid off, and now it's finally for him to hear the news again.
"Okay, I understand the matter, you go and get busy first." The squire knelt down and saluted, and hurried away.
Chen Chen walked to Huangfu Tianyou's side and said, "I just heard that these things are related to Xuetan? ”
Huang Fu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What's the matter, Brother Mo Feichen has heard of this organization?" ”
Chen Chen nodded: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, when I first investigated this matter, it was because I was assassinated by them. ”
"Ah, then Brother Chen's body is fine, right?"
"It's okay now."
Huangfu's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, has Brother Chen seen those killers?" Can you describe it to me? ”
Chen Chen roughly described to him the appearance of the few people he met, thin and thin, and his whole body was covered with black cloth. Their appearance is characterless, and their memories are a little blurry after such a long time. But the body's memory will not fade, so he focused on their combat characteristics and movement habits.
"I see, the one who wins by any means......" Huangfu lowered his head, as if thinking about something, "Thank you Brother Chen for your great help during this time, I have a plan for his organization, but it requires the cooperation of many parties......"
Time passed little by little, and the rumors about the assassination in the city of Yanyang were also rampant, reaching the point of becoming a household name. For a moment, everyone was talking about the tiger's color, and every resident who lived in it paid special attention, for fear that a few unknown men in black would rush out of that dark corner and take their lives.
"Hey, has anyone near your neighborhood died mysteriously recently?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Why, you ask? I heard that there are several killers now, who kill people when they catch them, and cut them when they see them, and dozens of people have died tragically in just half a month! ”
"Huh?! Then why doesn't the court care? ”
"How can the imperial court take care of it, the city lord of Xiaoying City next door has been assassinated. I heard that he had a grudge with these people for a long time, otherwise, he would not have died tragically in his own home! ”
"What do you mean? It's not even safe in the City Lord's Mansion?! Hurry up, walk quickly, I always feel that someone is watching me in the alley next to me, hurry up! ”
People themselves are very sensitive to such terrible things, not to mention that this kind of thing can happen around them at any time? These rumors spread rapidly in the city like a plague, and after many tongues relayed, they were completely inaudible.
And once the panic is eradicated in people's hearts, it will be a huge blow to all industries. Chen Chen could clearly feel that the crowd of people who came out to hang out on the street had decreased, and the Shanyi Hall, which was not very lively, was even more crowded, and several people next to him were sitting together yawning one yawn after another. However, this just gave Chen Chen a perfect opportunity to free up more time to investigate his own affairs.
"When I find out about this matter, the form will get better, and everyone will get better." Chen Chen thought so in his heart, pushed open the door and walked out.
Such rumors intensified, and even rumors spread in the imperial court. People whispered this kind of thing in the imperial city, and sure enough, it finally reached the ears of the emperor.
In the morning, in the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stood respectfully under the stage, and they didn't dare to take a breath. On the stage, on the dragon chair, there was a man dressed in gilt, with endless majesty in his eyebrows and eyes. And standing next to him is the emperor's closest servant.
"I recently heard that there is a gang in the city of Yangyang that is trading human lives for bounties. Is there such a thing? ”
When the officials below heard this, they all began to whisper. They don't know how this matter reached the emperor's ears.
"Where are the six princes?"
Huangfu Tianyou walked out of the crowd and knelt in front: "Erchen is here!" ”
"I heard you've been investigating this matter lately, have you made any progress?"
Huangfu's face was obviously happy, and he hurriedly returned: "Back to my father, my son's ministers have made some progress recently, and they will probably be able to find the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"Then I ask you, I heard that the city lord of Xiaoying City also died because of this, but is there such a thing?"
Huangfu paused slightly, and finally admitted: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”
It is said that although these recent events have been rumored, no one in person except the six princes present has been present, and now that they heard such a positive answer, the ministers under the rank began to talk about it again.
"Quiet !!" The servant who had been clubbing by the emperor's side spoke at this time, and the sharp voice penetrated everyone's eardrums at once, making the scene quiet all of a sudden.
"Okay, then I ask you, how sure can I be if I let you deal with this matter at this time?"
Huangfu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to deal with this matter, it is not enough to rely on Erchen alone, and Erchen also needs the help of others. ”
"Then I'll help you! Attention, the stakes are big, and it must be dealt with without leakage, you know? ”
"Thank you, Father!"
The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, if you have something to do, let's retreat from the court if you have nothing to do." ”
"Retreat from the !!!!"
With another sharp voice, everyone below knelt down again, and waited for the slave above to carry the emperor and leave completely, and then they slowly stood up.
"I really didn't expect that the legends of Yunyang City are true."
"Yes, yes, even the city lord of the city next to it has been affected, and it's too terrible." "Some time ago, people wanted to move the mansion to Yunyang City, and they wanted me to say it, but fortunately they didn't promise her at that time."
Some people secretly rejoiced, and some people deliberately ran to the six princes to offer their courtesy. "Your Royal Highness, you really shined just now, I didn't expect you to start investigating this matter early in the morning. If there is something similar in the future, please mention it a little more. ”
Indeed, judging from his actions, he must be thinking in his heart now: Oh, why didn't you notice such a potential prince before, you have to get along quickly. As for the six princes saying that they want the help of others? Since this incident happened in Yanyang City, it is natural that you want to help in Yanyang Mansion, what does it have to do with me?
But what he didn't expect, the corners of the mouth of the six princes who "shined" curled, and he said with a smile: "No need for next time, this time I have to rely on you more, Lord Fan......"
