Jingtai Suo Chapter 24 Exploring the Emperor's Village at Night

The next day, the rooster crowed all over the place.

The commander of Jinyiwei made Zhou Yangqiu, Tongzhi Wang Liang, and thousands and hundreds of households of all sizes gather in the conference hall to discuss.

It turned out that someone had found it early in the morning: a letter pierced with a knife had been found on the door of the council chamber. Then report to Zhou Yangqiu.

Zhou Yangqiu opened the letter and saw that the words in the letter were written in blood.

"You are all detectives, so you will come to ask for advice and compete to find out a high and low. Now go to Zhang's Mansion to collect the corpse! ”

Zhou Yangqiu was furious when he saw it, and his beard trembled angrily. This is clearly a letter from the murderer, or a provocative letter.

"This thief is so arrogant, if he doesn't catch you and break your body into thousands of pieces, Zhou will have no face to serve in this Jinyi Mansion!"

At this time, Wang Liang was calm: "My lord, what does the Zhang Mansion mean by collecting corpses in this letter?" Don't...... This murderer has killed again! ”

Zhou Yangqiu was still indignant: "Zhangfu? There are so many surnames Zhang in this capital! How to collect the corpse! Then he paused suddenly, as if remembering something.

"Could it be him?"

"Who?"

At this moment, a small flag came up and said, "My lord, something happened!" Zhang Xuan, the governor of the Jingshi garrison, was killed at home! ”

Zhou Yangqiu was shocked, and his hands kept trembling. Without saying a word, he hurried to Zhang Xuan's house.

In Zhang's mansion, a Dongchang guard had already been surrounded, and Cao Qin had already checked the corpse in the mansion. Then Cao He and Wen Tinghan's nephew and uncle arrived. The three of them just collided together.

Wang Liang thought to himself: Not surprisingly, the murderer also gave a letter to the two.

I only heard Cao Qin interrogate and ask, "How much is the dead?" ”

"Zhang Xuan, the governor of the Beijing Division, Xu Yuanliang, the director of the Criminal Department, Li Jinglun, and Xu Bin, the director of the Criminal Department, are a total of four people."

"Just these four people?"

"Yes!"

The words were divided into two ends, and it was said that Murong changed into civilian clothes at night, and sneaked into the Huangzhuang with stones and Taoyao.

Murong was not just for eating, but to explore the Qing Imperial Village.

Outside the gate of Huangzhuang, Murong asked Shi Taoyao to wait outside. I saw Murong walking towards the gate of Huangzhuang.

The two flag school guards outside the door, seeing a tattered Murong immediately stopped and said, "What person! Stay away from here! Don't see where this is! Huangzhuang! ”

Murong stepped forward and humbly waved his luggage and said, "Two officials! I have something I want you to present to the owner, and I hope you will make it easier! As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver money from his arms and secretly stuffed it into the flag school's hand.

Seeing Qian's eyes, the flag school asked, "What is it!" ”

At this time, Murong took out a golden waist card from his arms and handed it to Qi Xiao and nodded: "Please bring a word, saying that the guests will arrive later!" Whether you entertain or not depends on the owner! ”

When the flag school saw that this waist card was made of pure gold, he felt that it was very valuable. After another look, Murong was long gone.

The flag school made a strange voice and presented the waist card to the owner.

The owner couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the waist card of Jinyiwei: "Where did this waist card come from?" ”

The flag school will explain the past, and the owner of the village is also extremely strange. I thought: Why did Jin Yiwei suddenly visit? Recently, there have been many murders in the capital, and they shouldn't be able to pull away! Why, exactly! What was the purpose of his trip?

The owner of the village wanted to send away: Now that my father-in-law is dead, the opportunity for this brocade guard to suddenly visit me and turn over has come.

This Zhuangzi is the imperial village occupied by Cao Jixiang. The owner of this village is Cao Xuan, another righteous son of Cao Jixiang. Cao Jixiang is dead, and it is when Cao Qin and Cao Xuan are competing for the governor of Dongchang. Now that Murong's waist card has arrived, Cao Xuan is calculating to win over forces to bring down Cao Qin.

"Someone! Set up the feast, I want to feast the guests! Cao Xuan secretly rejoiced.

At the end of the shift, the cooks in the Zhuangzi were called up again and began to work, and they were very reluctant. I got out of bed in a daze and walked to the kitchen in a trance to light the fire.

Murong glanced at him: "Let's go, eat!" The stone clapped his hands excitedly and looked at Tao Yao, who also laughed and followed.

Murong knew that Shen had already extinguished the fire, so he used such a move to make Cao Xuan angry.

The three of them quietly rummaged into the manor, and the stone was hungry and red-eyed, smelling the smell, and found the kitchen.

I saw the cook in the kitchen cutting vegetables with a resentful face, heating the pot and making a fire.

The stone was just about to rush in when he was stopped by Murong and whispered, "Don't move!" The dish is not good yet! Look at that! ”

With a finger of Murong's hand, he saw that there was a small compartment in the kitchen, which was almost just enough to accommodate three people.

Murong secretly opened a window, and the stone and Tao Yao passed through the kitchen in turn and hid. The cooks just stared at their work, or they were lazy and napping.

Murong picked up the stone, jumped up to the compartment with light body skills, put the stone down, and instructed: "Don't move, I'll pick up your sister Taoyao!" ”

The stone stared intently at the food below and nodded.

Murong shook his head with a wry smile, jumped down and hugged Tao Yao softly, and Tao Yao was picked up and jumped up by him just as he was about to resist.

Murong didn't know when he got a thin thread, and a barb was tied to the end of the thread and handed it to the stone to signal.

The stone is also clever: "I understand! ”

"You're here for a long time, I'll look elsewhere!" After Murong finished speaking, he left. It's really gone without a trace.

Murong sneaked into the compound, this Huangzhuang is really magnificent. In such a dark night, this Zhuangzi is still shining. A closer look shows that this light is not a candle flame but a night pearl of the West.

"What a royal village! It's so extravagant! I'd like to know who this owner is! As he spoke, he slowly found the main hall and saw that a table of eight immortals had been set up. Just wait for the guests to be seated.

Murong secretly thought: This owner of the village is really sensible.

"Haven't the guests arrived yet?" I heard Cao Xuan in the house ask.

"Yes!"

Murong looked inside and recognized Cao Xuan: it was indeed Cao Jixiang's imperial village. This old thing is really harmful. Then this Cao Xuan knew that Jinyiwei was here, why did he still have a banquet!

Murong thought about it and decided to go in and find out.

"Why didn't the guests come out to greet them!" Murong stood outside the hall and said loudly.

The flag school and the head of the village in the Huangzhuang heard about it first. Seeing Murong dressed like this, he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you!" How did you get in! ”

The two flag schools who were taking care of Zhuangmen also came to see Murong and said strangely: "Hey, how did you get in, you Diao Min, get out quickly!" ”

Murong didn't move, and Cao Xuan in the hall heard the shouting and came out to check.

Cao Xuan scolded: "What are you shouting! He glared at the flag school. Glancing at Murong again, he didn't recognize it at first, but after a closer look, he realized that it was Murong Wuji.

"Lord Murong! Fast! Inside please! Just come" Cao Xuan hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and Murong gestured to the flag school with an expressionless face.

Cao Xuan understood: "You blind dog minions! This is our guest! Get out of here! ”

The flag school knew that Cao Xuan was so powerful and left stupidly.

Murong was not polite, and sat in the guest position as soon as he entered the main hall. Cao Xuan didn't say anything, just smiled: "I don't know if Lord Murong is here to miss the welcome!" How can adults dress up like this! ”

"I hope the owner will forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing! Dressed up like this is just to hide people's eyes! ”

"Understood, understood!"

"I don't know what advice you have for your sudden visit?"

"I don't dare to advise, but I just passed by Guibao to visit on a mission!"

"I see, aren't you busy with the murder in the capital recently, how are things going? The tragic death of the father-in-law must not allow the murderer to escape easily! Cao Xuan secretly touched a few handfuls of tears and said pretendly.

"Lord Cao, rest assured, the old governor will never die in vain! The murderer will be caught! And Cao Qin Dugong has also intervened in this case, I think there will be a result in the near future! Murong saw Cao Xuan's hypocrisy, and knew that his banquet was by no means simple.

At this time, several servants brought a few dishes, and Cao Xuan shouted: "Our family has a banquet for guests, how can this cook be lazy?" It's only taken so long to serve so many dishes! Let's see their heads are moving! ”

The servant was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your lord's anger, your lord's anger!" The small one is urging! ”

Murong Duan was here, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart, only he knew what was going on.

In the kitchen, Shi took a thin line given by Murong and fished up a lot of food. The cook rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at them with wide eyes, and muttered, "Strange, dreaming?" ”

He shook his head again, trying to sober himself up. And the peach and stone on it are feasting and happy. Looking at the cook below who was stunned in place, I felt even more funny.

As soon as the cook heard the housekeeper's urging, and when he heard the words "head moving", he was even more energetic, and his sleepiness had already passed, and he concentrated on cooking.

"What do you think of our brother-in-law?" The conversation has already begun, and I don't want Cao Xuan to change his words like this. Murong who asked was even more stunned.

"Brother Ling is a top-grade talent in terms of intelligence and martial arts, a rare talent!" Murong praised.

Clinker Cao Xuan laughed: "Why is Lord Murong hiding here, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"It's not a cover-up, it is!"

Cao Xuan saw that Murong refused to let go, so he took the lead: "I don't think Cao Qin is enough!" ”

When Murong heard this, he pretended to have chopsticks and fell to the ground: "Why did Lord Cao say this!" ”

"Honestly! Our family thinks that Cao Qin can't afford the position of the governor of Dongchang! It's just that my father-in-law doesn't know our family's talents! ”

Only then did Murong understand that Cao Xuan had long been dissatisfied with Cao Qin, but he didn't tear his face on the surface. Now that Cao Jixiang is dead, the position of the governor of Dongchang is also coveted. No wonder Cao Xuan invited himself, it turned out to be to win over forces!

"The grievances between the old governor and you Lord Zhou are all from the previous generation, and now is a good time to iterate. No one knows the name of Lord Murong, but he is also a young hero, and he will achieve great things in the future! ”

"Adults praise falsely, don't dare to be under it!"

Cao Xuan looked at Murong and remained silent, so he had to force and tempt: "If the adults are willing to help me take the position of the governor of Dongchang, I will push the big man to be the ...... of the brocade guard."

Before Cao Xuan finished speaking, he heard Yao Yao shouting: "There are thieves!" Catch the thief! Catch the thief! ”

Cao Xuan was furious after being interrupted: "What are you yelling about! If there is a thief, just catch it, don't disturb our family's purity! ”

Murong secretly screamed in his heart: Could it be that they were discovered!

Murong got up and said, "There is a thief in the family, it is better to catch the thief first!" Master Cao doesn't have to worry about me! ”

Cao Xuan was also angry, and hurriedly said please! An arrow rushed out, and secretly scolded in his heart: Which thief has ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds! Lao Tzu grabbed you and shattered your corpse!

Murong saw Cao Xuan chasing him out and hurriedly left, looking for the two Taoyao stones. He wasn't sure if the thief was talking about them, so Murong found the kitchen first.

Sure enough, the two of them were nowhere to be found in the kitchen. Murong was anxious, where to find them in this huge manor. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, cowering not far from the door.

"Stone!" Murong shouted softly.

These two people are Shi and Taoyao, and the two of them threw off the chasing flag school and turned back to wait for Murong.

"Let's go! Don't let them find out! Murong said, and the stone suddenly rushed into the kitchen and carried two steamed buns in his arms.

"To Grandpa!"

Murong touched his head and was just about to leave, when he saw that the flag school at the door had arrived. I saw that the leader was wrapped around his arm, it was the evil slave who was chasing Tao Yao this morning, and his arm was broken by Murong.

"It's really a narrow road! You thief not only brought this thief woman, but also a little doll! Look at me I don't break your arm! The evil slave screamed and rushed over.

Murong had no time to fight him, and put him down in three moves and tied him to the beams of the kitchen with ropes.

"You've recognized me, and I can't keep you alive! Cho Hyun may be useful! Murong sneered, lit a fire in the kitchen and left......

Exactly: Huangzhuang set fire, broke the temple and sacrificed; Murong saved the living sacrifices, and the hungry people were angry and wanted to hurt people.
