Volume 3 Vertical and Horizontal Donglu Chapter 192 Undercurrent
It was late at night after the birthday party, and He Yue'er was restless, and she didn't know how she got home.
Zhao Yizhi was also uneasy, he could feel that there was another storm in the capital, but he didn't notice anything unusual, just a feeling.
"Chen Congwei, let me in." Zhao Yizhi sat in the study and shouted to the outside.
After a while, Qingtian and the other nine people entered the study in turn: "Your Majesty, pick up the stars and escort He Yue'er back to the house." ”
"I've been restless these days, so I'll wait to inspect all over the capital, and only two people will be left in the palace." Zhao Yizhi said to everyone.
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then bowed their hands together and said, "Your Majesty, there should be four people left." ”
Zhao Yizhi shook his head and said: "Two people are enough, who can dare to come to the palace to make trouble?" You need to be careful to check all around the capital, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet has just passed, and I am afraid that some young people will take the opportunity to make trouble. ”
The nine people did not agree, Zhao Yizhi glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to resist the decree?" ”
Everyone had no choice but to accept it and quit the study.
After sending Chen Congwei away, Zhao Yizhi still couldn't feel at ease, and the worry in his heart still lingered, but he couldn't solve it, so he simply sat down and cultivated the method of the gods.
Under the starry sky, after picking stars to escort He Yue'er, she was running and jumping on the roofs of the houses in the capital and rushed back in the direction of the palace.
As soon as he ran to the official's residence, he suddenly stopped and threw two thin needles into a dark corner.
"Ding-ding."
Two thin needles were ejected.
Picking stars landed on an eaves, quietly looking at the corner, waiting for a while, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, although he looked up at picking stars, but his whole body was covered by black robes, and he hid in the shadows, and it was difficult to see his true face.
Picking the stars took out an iron fan from his waist and unfolded it, the fan bones and fans were all made of fine iron, extremely sharp, and the cold light flashed in the hazy moonlight.
The man froze for a moment with the star, then dodged into the alley behind him, and after a little hesitation, the star jumped off the roof and chased in the direction where the man had fled.
The two figures are one in front of the other, chasing me in the alleys of the capital, flying eaves and walking on the walls. Picking up stars is good at hidden weapons, and his physical strength is poor, and after turning a few corners, he disappeared from the person.
Picking up the stars looked around carefully, slowed his steps, and listened attentively, wanting to continue to find the location of the man in black.
A man jumped on the roof, grabbed the back of the star's neck with one hand, pressed him to the ground, raised his fist, and hammered it down on the back of his head, and smashed it.
It's a wooden puppet!
Picking the stars shook the iron fan gently, standing on the roof, looking at his puppet being beaten to pieces and not caring, his fingertips moved lightly, and several figures jumped on the roofs nearby, all of them looked like picking stars, stepping on the tiles and approaching the man in black.
The man in black stepped on the wall, stepped on the roof from the alley in two or three steps, ignoring the "picking stars" in all directions, and wanted to sneak into the night alone.
The "star pickers" from all directions rushed to stop them, and the two "star pickers" had already rushed head-on.
The man in black slashed the two "star pickers" to pieces with a knife, and wooden hands and feet spilled all over the roof. The wooden head fell from mid-air, and was kicked in the air by the man in black, kicking a "star" behind him, which was also a puppet, and was smashed by the wooden head.
Picking the stars threw out the iron fan in his hand, and the man in black made a vertical leap and disappeared into the night.
"Boss, why is there such a big movement on the roof in the middle of the night?"
"It's a wild cat chasing a mouse, so you don't care."
"I'm afraid it's not a thief, hurry up, take a look, don't sleep, go quickly!"
"What a hassle!"
There was a conversation in the house, and then a middle-aged man opened the door, walked out, and looked up at the roof, which was empty.
The middle-aged man muttered, "I have long said that it is a wild cat... Mother-in-law's house is really a lot of things..."I went into the house with a lot of thoughts...
"How's it going?" In the post house, Ge Cifeng wiped the tablet in his hand, it was his son Ge Yigang.
"It's all done! Your Highness doesn't have to worry! A person in front of him was wrapped in a black robe, smiling sadly.
Ge Cifeng nodded silently: "No one found out, right?" ”
"Nope! All the best! The black-robed man whispered.
"Okay, how is Zhao Fuhong? Blind with a pair of eyes, how are the martial arts compared to before? ”
"It's not as good as before, but fortunately, he practices hard qigong, although he can't fight the enemy, there is no problem with self-preservation."
Ge Cifeng sighed: "Liu Jincong and Mengzhou Lan are dead, and there is already a shortage of manpower, let's keep him first, if only I can find his apprentice..."
The black-robed man followed his master's wishes and said, "Yes, his apprentice Lu Ziyou is ranked fourteenth on the top 100 list of rivers and lakes, and he is a good player. ”
"Alright, let's go down." Ge Cifeng is inexplicably a little irritable, and he always chatters about things he can't get, and that feeling is like a cat scratching his heart.
The black-robed man couldn't guess Ge Cifeng's intentions, so he didn't dare to say more, and exited the room. Ge Cifeng looked at the tablet in his hand and was silent for a long time.
In the palace, a figure fell from the sky, and the moon and rain on duty were instantly alert, and one left and one right approached the comer.
"It's me!" Picking up stars hurriedly took two steps back, avoiding the edges of the two: "What about the others?" ”
"Your Majesty sent them out to inspect the capital, worried that someone has been restless recently." Turning the rain said.
Picking up the stars and walking towards the imperial study: "It's true, I'll go to see Your Majesty." ”
As soon as he walked outside the door of the study, Zhao Yizhi noticed it. Although his divine sense is now invalid, Zhao Yizhi can still know the situation around him.
Zhao Yizhi opened his mouth and called: "Come in directly, did He Yue'er send it back?" ”
Picking up the stars pushed the door in: "Back to Your Majesty, Miss He has been sent back." It's just that when the minister came back, he ran into some trouble, met a man in black, tried it, and was run away by him. ”
Zhao Yizhi became interested, and hurriedly asked, "The man in black?" Still run away? If you say that someone else's hands have been run away, you can't even keep that person? ”
Picking stars admitted calmly: "Yes, we chased it, and that person's martial arts didn't show much, they were all ordinary fists and kicks, but it can be seen that the skills are profound." Actually, the minister... suffered a small loss. "Picking the stars is still a little distressed by those four puppets.
"Where did you meet it? Do you know what the other party is going to do? "It's not that there are no people who can make Chen Congwei suffer a small loss, but these people are either locked up in prison and don't see the light of day, or they are martial arts giants who call for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes. If such a character suddenly appears in the capital, then you must find out the details of the other party.
"But in the courtyard wall of ordinary people's houses, he happened to be hiding in the shadows at that time, and the minister noticed it from there, and he didn't dare to act rashly at night, and when he sent puppets to tempt, he only used his fists and feet to break my four puppets."
Zhao Yizhi waved his hand: "Forget it, don't care." Now it's time to go again, and people don't know where to run for a long time. Something happened, tomorrow morning will know. ”
When he picked up the stars, he was about to retreat, but he was suddenly stopped by Zhao Yizhi: "That... Tell two more people to come back and guard the palace..."
Zhao Yi was stubborn.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning it was bright, Zhao Yizhi got up early, summoned Wang Zhenliang and asked, "What happened last night?" ”
Wang Zhenliang replied: "There was nothing big last night, but this morning was... It's not a big deal, don't bother Your Majesty. ”
"It's okay, let's hear it."
Wang Zhenliang saw that Zhao Yi was interested, so he said: "Fu Kong, the official of the Beijing Ordnance Division, Master Fu, has been sued. ”
"Oh? Fu Kong... I remembered that this person is an honest official, rigorous and modest, but he is a rare talent, but he has an unsuccessful son..."Zhao Yizhi remembered that Fu Kong's son Fu Tang was deceived and molested He Yue'er, and then asked: "What's wrong with him?" Why was he sued? ”
"Last night, on his way home, when he passed by his neighbor's door, the neighbor accidentally poured a basin of water, so he went to the door and reasoned with the other party. Fight and fight, forget it, the two parties went home, but last night, the neighbor suddenly died at home, and it was proved that he was killed by a sharp sword, and the neighbor's family sued Fu Kong to the yamen, and at this time the capital government Yin is trying the case! Wang Zhenliang told the story from beginning to end.
Zhao Yizhi smiled dumbly: "Heh... The case should be handled with evidence, but the two have some quarrels, and they can't make trouble to the point of murder. And that Fu Kong is an honest official and behaves properly, I heard about the red and white affairs of other officials and came to invite, he did not participate, and even if he participated, it was only with five taels of silver. The weapons in the Ordnance Department are as bright as new, and each one is registered, how can such an officer kill people? I don't believe it! ”
This is naturally not what Zhao Yizhi heard, when the divine sense is not invalid, the affairs of the capital, big and small, cannot be investigated by Zhao Yizhi. Especially this Fu Kong, because of He Yue'er's relationship, Zhao Yizhi paid special attention.
Wang Zhenliang's eyes rolled wildly, and he bowed his head and responded: "The old slave understands. ”
"Hey, don't worry about it, I know your thoughts, don't do this. Since he has been accused, it doesn't hurt to check it, Master Fu is upright, his body is not afraid of shadows, and I can trust him. Zhao Yizhi and Wang Zhenliang get along day and night, and naturally know that Wang Zhenliang has tested his tone, and he is afraid that he will notify Yin of the capital and manipulate it to make him happy.
"It's not a big deal, okay, you go down." Zhao Yizhi waved his hand, this little thing was not worth his attention.
Soon, Fu Kong's case report was sandwiched between other twists and turns, and they were stacked on Zhao Yizhi's bookcase.
"Fu Kong, director of the Ordnance Department, the defendant argued with others and killed people at every turn. The evidence is still insufficient, and it is necessary to retry it at a later date and be temporarily imprisoned. ”
"Well, this Mansion Yin is quite rigorous." Zhao Yizhi closed the fold and put it aside.
The day passed in a blink of an eye, and as night fell, families went back to their houses to rest, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.
A woman was nervously hurrying forward, when a drunken man suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
"Little lady, where are you going? This big night... Belch... Aren't you afraid of the dark? The drunk asked with a crooked smile.
"Big brother, I... I seem to be lost, where is this? The woman asked, wincing.
The drunk patted his chest and said, "Did you see it before?" Belch... The mansion of the crown prince Shaobao Feng Qi is also my own uncle! ”
"Yo, the eldest brother is here to look for relatives in the city? I found it today, and as soon as I was happy, I drank two more glasses? The woman laughed.
"What a family search... Little lady, I can tell you, my own uncle refuses... Pull me up, I went to him to borrow some money today, and it ended up giving me a big slap in the face... You see, there are palm prints on this face! What kind of plaything is demoralizing... Master, can I still pay it back if I win the bet? That's my uncle... Uh-uh" Before the drunk could finish speaking, he was choked by the woman's neck.
"Don't gamble in the next life!"
