Chapter 161: Anger

Looking at the paper on the side, what is written on the side is also in a clear tone, but it has not been written yet, only half of it.

The handwriting on the book, like the paper, is supposed to be written by Rue.

Rong Fei folded the book back on the bookcase, stretched out a finger and touched the last word on the paper, and then touched the tip of the brush and the ink in the inkstone.

"How long ago did you last see your young lady?"

Rong Fei asked the maid.

"Uh... An hour ago."

Rong Fei nodded, activated the Insight of the Partition Wall and listened to the supernatural powers, then turned around and walked out of the room to the courtyard, took the lantern from the porter and walked into a small bamboo forest in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

"Ah~ There seems to be someone there!"

The maid followed Rong Fei into the bamboo forest, and exclaimed as soon as she walked in.

Under the faint light of the lantern, a figure can be seen lying motionless in the depths of the bamboo forest.

Rong Fei stepped forward and turned the man over.

You don't need to test your breath to know that this person was just knocked unconscious, and his life is not in danger.

"Rong Zhutou, who is this?"

The maid hid behind Rong Fei and asked timidly.

"It should be the guards sent by Chang Yanai to protect your young lady, there, there, there are three more, all of them have been knocked unconscious. Carry them into the room, or they will catch a cold and get sick." Z.br>

Rong Fei kindly reminded.

Naturally, it is impossible for a huge mansion to be inhabited by only three people: Ruexiang, the maid, and the porter, as well as a few servants who are responsible for cleaning. At this time, when they heard the sound here, they all got dressed and gathered over.

"Then my young lady..."

The maid asked with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with your young lady. Settle these four people, and remember to send someone to inform Chang Huaien again."

After explaining this, Rong Fei left the house and went to Xuanwu Hutong.

At the same time, the forbidden troops guarding the west gate of Kyoto Castle lined up in two columns, pointing their spears diagonally inside the gate. On the city walls, there are countless crossbowmen waiting to beat their strings, and at the command of the commander, a rain of arrows will pour out, shooting the target into a hedgehog.

"Someone who came stopped, dismounted, and explained the intention, otherwise don't blame the sword and arrow without eyes."

The commander of the forbidden army stepped out of the crowd with the hilt of his sword in his hand, shouting at the hundred or so knights who were rushing towards him.

"Huh~"

At the signal of the two knights in front of them, the horse team stopped at a distance of more than twenty paces from the city gate. The two knights in front of him each threw a token at the Praetorian Commander.

"The Immortal Division arrested Gu Fengxiao quickly, and was ordered by the head of the arrest Rong Fei to go outside the city to investigate the case, please let the commander let him go."

"Feng Li, the head of the East Investigation Factory, was ordered to assist the Immortal Division in handling the case."

It turned out to be the two hottest yamen in Kyoto City in recent times to jointly handle the case, and the commander of the forbidden army was relieved and at the same time became more and more curious.

But curiosity is curiosity, and there has been a lot of noise in Kyoto recently, so don't be nosy.

After verifying that the token was not fake, the commander of the forbidden army waved his hand directly and released him.

Eight people from the Immortal Division and more than 100 famous stalls from the East Investigation Factory, holding torches in their hands, murderously killed a hidden village eighty miles outside the city.

Although Zheng Ziqiu did not reveal much information about the shadow killing before committing suicide by poisoning, he handed over the account books of human transactions over the years to Rong Fei, and detailed the location of buyers outside the city.

Back in the small courtyard of Xuanwu Hutong, Ji Rou'er, Murong Qiushui, and Rong Lan were still monitoring the movements in Kyoto City through the Five Absolute Array.

Rong Fei first expressed his condolences to the three daughters for their hard work, and then asked about Ruxiang's whereabouts.

"That Rue from the Golden Wind Drizzle Building?"

Hearing Ruxiang's name, the tiredness on Ji Rou'er's face was immediately swept away, and she tilted her head and stared at Rong Fei dangerously.

Rong Fei didn't do anything wrong, so he was naturally not afraid of Ji Rou'er's threatening eyes, and explained a few words in a low voice.

"Huh? How could it be... So?"

Ji Rou'er immediately showed an incredible expression, which provoked Murong Qiushui and Rong Lan to come over curiously.

"I'll explain it in detail later, and help me find out the person first."

"Oh."

Ji Rou'er responded, and then manipulated the Five Peerless Great Array to find the traces of Ruxiang.

The Five Absolute Great Array is mainly used to monitor the monks in Kyoto City, but Rue Xiang is an ordinary person who has not cultivated, and it is more troublesome to find.

It took nearly an hour for the three women's soccer teams to finally find a woman suspected of being Rue in the slum area near the city wall.

This is due to the fact that it is late at night, and the people living in the slums have fallen asleep after a hard day's work, and this woman with a flower headscarf covering her face is picking out the dark alleys.

Rong Fei memorized the general area, so that the three girls could say goodbye and rush towards the target area.

Rue Xiang was actually involved with Shadow Killing, which made Rong Fei a little surprised.

Avoiding a few areas that were still crowded even late at night, Rong Fei infused his legs with spiritual power, exerted his magical powers, and ran like a fly on the long street.

Soon came to the area where the traces of the suspected Rue Woman had been found earlier, and used the complete wall insight to determine the specific location.

In a small courtyard that seemed to be often taken care of, Rue Xiang had just taken a breath and calmed down when she heard a knock on the courtyard door.

"Rue girl is here."

Hearing Rong Fei's voice, Rue Xiang smiled sadly.

I still can't hide from him.

Opening the far door, Rue Xiang looked at Rong Fei, who was standing tall and tall outside the door, and bowed slightly.

"I've seen Rong Catcher, please come in."

Rong Fei nodded and walked into the courtyard. When I looked at it, I saw that there were no stone benches and stone tables in the courtyard, and only a few worn-out bamboo chairs were placed against the wall, so I went to pick out two that I knew a little and put them in the middle of the courtyard. After sitting down, he pointed to the bamboo chair opposite and said to Ruxiang.

"Sit, I have something to ask you."

Rue Xiang sat down opposite her, her eyes avoiding Rong Fei's forced gaze and staring at her knees.

"How much of what you said was true in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building that day? How many points are fake?"

Rong Fei asked with a blank face.

Since the soul was reborn in this world, Rong Fei has always been careful to get along with people, and it is because of this caution that Rong Fei has a suspicious and distrustful attitude towards anyone except Ji Rouer, master Liu Yong and Qi Xiutai in Lao Langzhong.

And because of a conversation in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building a few days ago, Ruxiang, who is also a survivor of the Dunzhou disaster, became the fourth person accepted and trusted by Rong Fei.

Although it can't be compared with Ji Rouer and the three of them, they are much stronger than others.

But Rue Xiang deceived Rong Fei, which made Rong Fei feel very uncomfortable, and even a little angry.

"It's all true, and there's no half-talk."

Rue Xiang replied without raising her head.

"It's just... I haven't finished speaking, but I have some things to hide."

Rue Xiang has an innate magic in her body, and the words she says will always make people believe unconsciously.

"Look up and look me in the eye."

Rong Fei ordered.

Rue Xiang sighed, and raised her head to look at Rong Fei according to her words.

Rong Fei stared at Ruexiang's eyes for a long time, and found that he could no longer rely on experience and reasoning to tell whether Rue Xiang was telling the truth or falsehood.

But this point is very important to Rong Fei.

When Xu Shilang, the murderer of the Chuntao Lane Murder Case, was captured, Rong Fei found that if he used his magic power to a person alone, he could hear that person's heart.

After discovering the wonderful use of the Cave Insight Divine Power, Rong Fei really never used it again.

It's just because of this function of supernatural powers that Rong Fei feels fear.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Rong Fei finally gave up his plan to use the Insight Divine Power of the Wall.

Just believe it one last time

Rue once!

"You're the one who killed the shadow?"

Rong Fei asked.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ruexiang's mouth, nodded, and asked rhetorically.

"How did you guess?"

"Zheng Ziqiu told me."

Rong Fei replied.

"Impossible."

Rue shook her head.

"I've never met Twelve, I know him, but he doesn't know me."

"During the conversation with me, Zheng Ziqiu has been mentioning the disaster in Danzhou, intentionally or unintentionally, in order to stir up my dissatisfaction with the imperial court. There are not many people in Kyoto City who know that I am from Danzhou, and they are all people that Zheng Ziqiu can't contact at all, and they will never join the shadow killing. Come to think of it, it's just you.

Shadow Kill is tightly organized, and with Zheng Ziqiu's cautious style, he will not trust outsiders at will. Therefore, the person who gave his information about me must be his accomplice, and most of them are one of the eleven people who are higher in rank than him."

Rue Xiang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"It's a hundred secrets. When I told Twelve that there was information about you, I left that out. You guessed it, I'm the one who killed the shadow. Joined a little earlier than Twelve, so the rank is higher than him, you can call me - Ah Jiu."

"Why?"

Rong Fei's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he grabbed Ruxiang's arm and questioned angrily.

Rue Xiang's face showed a look of pain, but she didn't struggle.

"The top 12 people in the shadow killing, except for me, everyone else has the right to make their own decisions, and in most cases they don't interfere with each other. I'm only responsible for collecting and delivering information during Shadow Kill."

"So you're trying to say that Zheng Ziqiu's human trafficking has nothing to do with you? You're innocent, aren't you?"

"I..."

"Even if you don't personally participate in human trafficking, you can be considered an accomplice, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"Yes."

Rue Xiang nodded miserably in acknowledgement.

"You know the pain of losing a loved one, why can you watch Zheng Ziqiu impose this pain on others and be indifferent and not stop it?"

Rong Fei asked fiercely.

"Because... Because..."

"Because you also agree with Zheng Ziqiu's point of view, it is the inaction of the Dayan court, the disregard for the lives of the people, that determines that the cause of the suffering you have experienced is the Dayan court.

You, like Zheng Ziqiu, transferred all your hatred to the Dayan court before you found the real culprit behind the Danzhou disaster, and tried your best to oppose the court and try to subvert the court.

You also agree with the so-called bullshit truth that those who do big things are not informal, tearing up tens of thousands of families and sacrificing tens of thousands of lives just to shake the bullshit dynasty's luck."
