Jingshi Shuntianfu, the sky is gloomy, the daylight is hidden in the clouds and mist, and only the miserable white daylight can be seen scattered in the sky. When the autumn wind rises, it sweeps over the mirror lake and lifts up the willow branches. After the baptism of last night's downpour, the streets and alleys are as clean as washing, and the eaves are still dripping with water. But outside the gate of Ning Mansion, blood was dripping unhurriedly.

The front of Ningfu was bustling and full of people. The people surrounded the place. There are vegetable farmers on the streets, hawkers walking the streets and alleys, children of rich families, and old beggars on the streets, men and women, old and young. Among them, there are many who stand on tiptoe, straighten their necks, and some climb the fence to look into the distance, as if they are watching a juggler. As the crowd grew, the noise intensified. Dozens of officials stopped in front of him, controlling the flow of people. The leader kept scolding and scolding, and it was like a busy city for a while.

Groups of officials carried corpses out of Ningfu. The corpses were neatly arranged in front of the gate of the Ning Mansion, and the open space, which was already crowded by the crowd and getting smaller and smaller, was now even more difficult to walk.

At this moment, a group of officers came from the rear of the crowd, dispersed a path from the crowd, and then divided into left and right columns, and one person hurriedly walked forward.

"Lord Fu Yin, Lord Fu Yin has arrived!" There was a lot of talk in the crowd.

Shuntianfu Yin is in the third rank, and he is a member of the court. I actually went to the scene of the murder today, and I can know that something big must have happened this time.

As soon as Lord Fu Yin arrived, he saw dead bodies covered with white cloth all over the ground. One of the officials reported to the government Yin: "My lord! A total of 110 people were killed in Ningfu, and two nameless bodies were found in the side alleys. Looking at the costumes, it should be the husband who was on duty last night. ”

Fu Yin frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The official replied: "This morning, someone found that the ditch draining the Ning Mansion was draining blood. The man looked through the ditch and found a face covered in blood. This is the official who reported it. The officer was subsequently discovered. It should have been the heavy rain last night that caused the ditch to drain to be discovered. ”

"What about corpses? What was found? ”

The official replied: "But it has already been tested, and it should be a murder that happened at the third watch last night." Everyone was killed with a single sword, and the technique was fierce and fierce, and nothing was found at the scene except for the blood stains of the corpses. Like their means. ”

Shuntianfu Yin's pupils changed from large to small, and he lowered his voice and said, "Have you checked?" Did they do it? ”

"Someone has been sent to inquire, and I believe there will be news soon......"

Fu Yin twisted his beard lightly, his brows were tightly locked, his face was solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time. It seems to be thinking, and it seems to be waiting.

At this time, there was a cry.

"My lord, you have to make decisions for my husband's family! He died unjustly! A woman squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward and fell to her knees, her head slamming into the ground, and the blood flowed in a moment.

"Who's making noise here? So what's going on? Fu Yin shouted, and a pair of eyes glanced at the woman, who was very annoyed, as if he was reproaching her for being busy and causing trouble.

The official whispered in his ear: "Those two nameless corpses have only been recognized by her, and one of them is his husband's family." ”

Fu Yin was about to speak, when suddenly a servant arrived on a horse and whispered two words in Fu Yin's ear. Fu Yin's expression gradually eased, as if it was gloomy. Turning around, he then ordered: "All tolerances are withdrawn to the yamen, and the corpses are sorted out and sent to Xisikou." No one is allowed to inquire into the matter. ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and cried, "My lord, you have to avenge me!" My lord! The woman's roar resounded through the sky, making Fu Yin's heart tremble. There was no shortage of sympathy in the crowd.

Fu Yin had no choice, a dozen gestures. After a servant beside her leaned down and whispered something in her ear, the woman stopped crying, wiped her already weeping face with her cuff, and got up and walked away, as if frightened.

There was an uproar among the people, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Hey, why didn't the government investigate? The woman ......," one of them asked.

"Don't you understand this? Presumably, the destruction of this Ning Mansion and the death of her husband's family must have been done by Jinyiwei! Jin Yiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders, killed people and set fires, and obeyed the emperor. Not to mention Shuntianfu, it is the three law divisions, and the six doors have no right to ask! One replied.

"Alas, Lord Ning has been an honest official all his life, self-denial and public service, who knows what will happen like this!"

"The way of the world has changed, and people's hearts are not ancient!"

It turns out that this Ning Mansion is the mansion of Lord Ning Wuren, who has been an official for half his life, and is fair and impartial, and is mostly praised by the people. Now that this catastrophe has been suffered, there are many voices of indignation and sighs among the people.

The crowd gradually dispersed in the discussion, and one person lowered the hat and dispersed, turning around and entering the Tianqing Tower. There are already people waiting here.

"My lord, please, the private room upstairs is!" The shopkeeper greeted. He paused, hesitated, and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

The upstairs was empty, and there was no figure in sight. But the table was clear and clean, and there was no dirt. Walking in, there is a burst of fragrance straight to the nose, which makes people's hearts condense, and there is no sense of tiredness.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a voice "Our family has been waiting here for a long time!" "There was a person sitting in the hall, who was close to the age of six, and his tone was extremely thin, which made people uncomfortable to listen to. A pair of thin eyes can look at its ears, two temples are white, and one is silver. Dressed in silk and satin, dressed in gold and silver, he looks like an official and a master, and there are two small servants waiting next to him. "Lord Murong is willing to appreciate the light, our family is so honored!"

As soon as Murong took his seat, he then turned out and stepped forward to look at the tea. Respectfully brought it to Murong, without raising his eyelids, he seemed to be very afraid of Murong.

"Come, taste! This is the best West Lake Longjing. In addition to the palace, the dragon well here is the most correct! Liu Xixiao's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Murong took the cup, leaned close to his nose and sniffed it, a fragrance accompanied by the heat came to his face, and said, "Liu Dugong has saved all these red tapes, let's get straight to the point!" ”

"Murong Wuji, the person is cold-faced. Speak quickly and quickly. Liu Xi laughed loudly, leaned forward, and stared at Murong.

"It's a mustache to shoot the horse. After so many years of crawling in this officialdom, I have long been tired of hearing these words. It must be important for Governor Liu to find me, otherwise I wouldn't have alarmed you, the Governor of Dongchang. ”

Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always had no river water in the well, and they have never intersected, and they have never interacted with each other. Now that the commander of Jinyiwei is with the governor of Dongchang, Murong is inevitably puzzled. What's more, since Yongle Ye merged with the factory guard, the momentum of the East Factory has always surpassed that of Jinyiwei, and the minions of the East Factory are all over Jinyiwei, which is no different from a family. Since Murong Hou, Jinyiwei has broken away and gradually fought against Dongchang.

Liu Xi was full of smiles, and his wrinkles were huddled together, looking very hideous and terrifying: "Then our family won't pay attention to these useless etiquette with adults!" Let's all be brighter! With both hands, a few Dongchang fans walked out of the back of the hall, holding a pair of painting scrolls and a handscroll and standing behind Liu Xi.

Liu Xi suddenly turned upset: "I think you have also seen it, the incident of the destruction of the Ning Mansion has already been full of turmoil in the city, do you know who did it?" ”

Murong was silent for a long time. The complexion is as calm as water. Murong Zheng hesitated, and Liu Xi had already guessed a thing or two about his reaction.

"Sure enough, you did it! Adults don't have to hide it, I already know about it. But as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the senior member of the three grades of the DPRK and the Central Committee, who is in charge of arresting prisons and visiting assassinations, how can he be negligent in doing things? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Murong raised his eyes, Liu Xi couldn't help but be stunned, Murong's eyes were cold and shining, like a sharp blade stabbing straight in.

Liu Xi hurriedly laughed: "Our family has no other meaning. Then he raised his hand slightly, and Fanzi behind him stepped forward and opened the scroll exhibition with Murong.

"My lord's eyes, the woman in this painting is the daughter of Ning Wuren of Ning Mansion - Ning Wuwu. Our family has already checked, but they have not seen this person's body, and it is expected that he has escaped. The person recorded in this handscroll is Ning Wuren's protégé, and adults should know how to do it! ”

Murong was about to speak, but Liu Xi immediately said, "Don't ask me how I know these things, my lord, just remember that we are both acting for the emperor!" I just ask him to be comfortable, we slaves can't be sloppy! ”

Murong stared at the scroll for a long time, the face of the person in the painting was like a full moon, his lips were like sand, his eyes were bright, and his eyes were like autumn water. He looks so handsome. This ice-hearted killer couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

"Your Excellency can arrest this person according to the portrait, and our family is waiting for good news!" Liu Xi showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and Murong had no time to take care of it.

Thinking that Jinyiwei never misses a hand, now there is a fish that has slipped through the net, and such a handle has fallen into the hands of Dongchang, Murong thought: There is such a big event, Dongchang not only did not use this to threaten but reported to himself, which really made Murong scratch his head, and he had no time to think about it, now it is better to arrest Ning Wuwu first. Murong didn't thank him, picked up his things and left.

The little guy next to Liu Xi was a little stunned and said, "Duke, why is this guy so angry?" He's too arrogant! ”

Liu Xi laughed instead of being angry: "If he is not arrogant, he will not be able to sit in that seat." He was the only survivor in the Wolf Gate, a survivor who walked out with blood on his hands and corpses. He has long since lost his emotional conscience, just a killer who obeys orders, and only knows the living corpse of allegiance to the Holy Order. ”

The position of Jinyi Wei has been controversial since the establishment of Emperor Hongwu, a small personal guard, escorting the guard of honor, and then became a secret agency, and the emperor's eyeliner is used to supervise hundreds of officials. Do more things for the emperor and get close to the emperor, natural rights are gradually flourishing, and lawlessness is inevitable. As for the selection of Jinyiwei, there are many rumors, but most of them say that they are from the Wolf Gate.

Murong returned to the official residence and immediately sent a sea arrest document to arrest Ning Wuwu. He also ordered Jinyi Wei to know Wang Liang to arrest people according to the names of the flowers recorded in the handscroll.

While he was busy, the Dongchang fan outside the door said: "The governor ordered the villain to tell the commander that Ning Wuwu had fled to Shangquan, and hoped that the lord would be arrested immediately." Don't go thief. ”

Murong hesitated for a moment, then sneered and said, "Wang Liang, gather a team of people and rush to Shangquan immediately." ”

Exactly: Hongyan is in trouble, Wuji chases the murderer, Shangquan has a bloody storm again, and Qin is killed under the embroidered spring knife.
