Chapter 228: There is a pavilion but no wall

In the rainy alley, Ning Que glanced at the soaked black hospital uniform and opened the big black umbrella.

It is not too difficult to kill those two people, but it is difficult to kill each other silently in the imperial court, especially in the military.

Huang Xing, who was reduced to ashes under the oil-paper umbrella, died from one of his fire charms.

For the water master, it is to die under the well character.

The well character is Master Yan Se's most powerful rune, before going to the wasteland, Master Yan Se passed this rune to Ning Que, only because the rune is difficult and wonderful, Ning Que did not really master the meaning of this rune until Tao broke out of the cliff cave for a while.

With Haoran Qi as a guide, the well character that Ning Que successfully cast is more like a simulation, of course, it is not a rune, and it is far less than the magical power of the well character displayed by Master Yan Se, but it is very simple to silently cut a person into pieces of meat in this spring rain.

In the night, Ning Que left Xikeng Gate with an umbrella, he first went to the imperial city, found Xu Chongshan, the commander of the guards, handed over some things, and then returned to Linforty-seventh Lane.

Sang Sang looked at him who was wet, and ......" showed a worried and confused look on his face.

Ning Que explained a few words in a low voice, then went to the backyard to take a cold shower, and Ran Zhou began to eat.

The candle flame shook slightly, Ning Que sat at the table of the shop, looking at the funeral post left by Sang Sang Taonian, and was silent for a long time and remembered the little black man who died opposite the shop.

It was also spring, and it was also in the midst of a spring rain.

Xiao Heizi left a list of oiled papers, on which were the people who had participated in the two tragedies back then, and now that Huang Xing is dead, Yu Shuizhu is also dead, and all the people on the list are dead.

However, there are still two damned people who are not dead, and Zhuoer did not write those two names on the oil paper list, because he and Ning Que both know who those two people are, and they don't need to remember them, and they won't forget them.

Li Guyan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiahou, the general of the town army.

Sangsang walked up behind him and said, "Will there be trouble?"

Ning Que said: "Even if it...... The old general could guess, and he couldn't do anything to me. ”

Sang Sang was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

In the past, when killing Zhang Yiyi or Chen Zixian, Ning Que always had to investigate for a long time, and then when he confirmed that the imperial court had not noticed this matter, a thunderclap sounded in a silent place.

Chengmen Lang Huang Xing and Yu Shuizhu were important players in the massacre of the General's Mansion back then, and Ning Que had been investigating for a long time, but his choice to act today still made people feel a little rash.

"Some people in the court have already guessed that I did it. ”

Ning Que handed the funeral post on the table to Sang Sang, motioned for her to put it away, and said, "If I don't rush to do it today, it may be difficult to have a chance to do it in the future." ”

Sang Sang took the book and asked, "If you have to go to the General's Mansion tomorrow, I will accompany you." ”

Ning Que shook his head and said, "No, I have already sent a message to the academy, and someone will accompany me when the time comes." ”

In the early morning of the second day, before the stalls of hot and sour noodle soup were set up, several officials from the Tang Military Department had already come to the outside of Lao Bizhai and knocked on the door.

Ning Que was already ready, pushed the door out, looked at the official he had seen on Suzaku Street yesterday, and said, "The general wants to invite me over to talk again?"

The official's expression was much more indifferent than yesterday's, and he said succinctly, "Please."

Yesterday, he was just taken by General Xu Shi in the night, and then he went to kill two people after leaving the mansion, if he slapped the face of the Tang Dynasty military hard, he would be summoned by General Xu Shi again today, Ning Que would definitely not be surprised, but he didn't expect that the place of today's conversation was not the General's Mansion, but the Tang Military Department.

Several carriages left Lin47 Lane, drove straight north along Suzaku Avenue, passed Jianshenfang, there was a large area of very quiet and sparse forest, and the carriage turned into the forest.

Ning Que lifted the curtain and looked out, and could vaguely see a large flat meadow behind the dense forest, which looked like the scenery outside the plug, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The Tang Dynasty established the country by force, fought in the south and the north, and the military department had jurisdiction over the four major border armies, the county army and the Yulin army, which was the most authoritative ministry of the empire, and it was the most terrible place in the world in the hearts of foreigners.

This is the first time Ning Que has come to the military department.

He didn't expect that there was such a meadow flat forest next to Suzaku Avenue, which seemed simple and simple, but in Chang'an City, where land prices were becoming more and more expensive, it was actually extremely extravagant.

He didn't expect that the Tang Military Headquarters had no strict atmosphere, no high walls, arrow towers, and quiet buildings, just dozens of independent pavilions hidden in the green forest meadows.

The pavilion of the black eaves and tiles is tall or short, seemingly disorderly but staggered and located in the grassy forest, and there is a straight stone paved carriageway between the buildings, which looks elegant and quiet without losing the atmosphere.

Several horse-drawn carriages were speeding along the stone path between the meadows and dense forests, and the officials on the stone road avoided the sound and cast strange glances of doubt.

The carriage stopped at the highest wooden building in the depths of the green forest.

Ning Que stepped out of the carriage and looked up, only to see that this wooden building had three floors...... There is a loft on the top floor...... The same house is black tile, but the style of the eaves is different from the rest of the buildings of the military headquarters in the grass and forest, the eaves line is slightly curved like a knife, the red sorghum is straight like an iron spear, and a strong and direct breath seeps out from the pavilion.

Between the third floor of the pavilion, the old man in court clothes was looking out from the railing, looking indifferent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yesterday's conversation was in the General's Mansion, the old man was wearing ordinary household clothes, and that conversation was a private conversation, but today it was in the Tang Dynasty Military Headquarters, the old man was wearing court clothes, and this conversation was no longer a private conversation, but a very strict and even dangerous question.

Ning Que walked into the wooden building, walked among the officers and officials who were busy sorting out the files and the military information on all sides, climbed the stairs and climbed the stairs, and as the environment gradually changed, he came to the top pavilion.

Yesterday there was a rain, the glitz and butter of late spring was swept away and the air in the empty pavilion was unusually fresh, and the wind and cold penetrated into the pavilion, and the face suddenly felt refreshed.

With the slightly cold spring breeze, General Xu Shi's slightly cold voice sounded.

"Do you know why the military department has a cabinet and no walls?"

Ning Que walked slowly to the side of the railing, walked behind the old man, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xu Shi turned around, looked at him and said: "Because the mission of my Tang Dynasty soldiers is to keep the enemy out of the border, if the enemy is allowed to enter Chang'an City and surround the military headquarters, then everyone will kill themselves by cutting their throats with knives, and what else will they fight? In this case, why does the military department still have a wall? As for this pavilion, it is to tell all the Tang Dynasty soldiers to have the bearing and vision to climb the pavilion and cherish the world and the small world. ”

Ning Que said: "It turns out that there is this deep meaning. ”

Xu Shi looked into his eyes and said in a cold voice: "I, Datang, am not afraid of external enemies, but only the strongest fortress of internal strife, which will inevitably collapse from the inside." ”

Ning Que said: "The general's words also have deep meaning. ”

"There is no deep meaning, and what I say is very simple. ”

Xu Shi said indifferently: "The conversation with you yesterday is to warn you that Datang needs to be stable and not give birth to civil strife, you should focus on the overall situation and know how to respect the law...... Ning Que, you are a student on the second floor of the academy, so you can't even understand the meaning of my words. ”

Ning Que said: "I was deeply shocked by the general's teachings yesterday, and after returning to the old pen last night, I asked the maid to take out the Tang Lu Bing candle to read at night, which was really beneficial." ”

Xu Shi saw that he was still as tired as yesterday, and the anger in his heart gradually accumulated, but the expression on the old cheeks became more and more calm, and he asked lightly.

"Where were you when Huang Xing and Yu Shui died yesterday at dusk?"

Ning Que frowned slightly, as if reminiscing, and replied after a while, "I'm shopping." ”

Xu Shishi said: "Yesterday at dusk, it rained heavily, what street did you visit?"

Ning Que said: "I like to be drenched in the rain. ”

Xu Shishi said: "Yesterday at the West City Gate, it was the hand of the Fu Master. ”

Yu Que said: "It's really daring. ”

Xu Shi looked at him and said expressionlessly: "The number of talismans in the world is not too many, especially the talismans in Chang'an City, which are recorded in the Tianshu Office. ”

Ning Que looked at him and said with a smile: "Then we have to let the Tianshu Department quickly investigate, although the number of Fu Masters is small, but I think there are more than one or two, and it may be more troublesome to check." ”

Xu Shi said: "You are also a talisman master. ”

Ning Que replied, "I do have a lot of things. ”

"It is reported that when the murder occurred last night, a young man in black with a black umbrella appeared at the West City Gate. ”

Xu Shi quietly looked at the black academy uniform on his body.

Ning Que said: "I still have a big black umbrella behind me, it looks like I went to the West City Gate at that time, but unfortunately there are many young people who like to wear black. ”

Xu Shi said: "But the young talisman who wears black clothes and carries a black umbrella, who else in the world but you are?"

Ning Que looked at him and asked, "Does the general suspect that I killed those two officials?"

Xu Shi was not polite and said, "Yes, because you can't tell where you were at the time." ”

Ning Que suddenly asked, "The general is trying the case?"

Xu Shi said coldly: "Could it be that General Feiben doesn't have this qualification?"

Ning Que shook his head and said: "If I am still a small soldier in Weicheng now, the general is naturally qualified to interrogate me, but after the first examination of the academy, I have changed from military to civilian status, even if I am suspicious, I can only be tried by Chang'an Mansion, and the general does not have this qualification." ”

Xu Shi looked at him expressionlessly, and said: "At the behest of His Majesty, the palace and the military department are also under the jurisdiction of the Tianshu Office, and you are now the guest secretary of the Tianshu Office, how can I not judge you?"

Ning Que took out the waist card of the guest of the Tianshu Office from his belt, gently rested it on the pavilion railing, and said: "I went to the guard office last night to ask, and His Majesty had already agreed to my request to withdraw from the Tianshu Office the day before yesterday, but this waist card is still on my body for the time being, and now I don't want this waist card, and the general will not be able to judge me." ”

Xu Shi didn't expect Ning Que to make such a gesture, his brows furrowed deeply and then gradually relaxed, and said with a mocking and shameless look: "You really don't dare to let me ask you." ”
