What happened in the imperial capital soon spread to the front line of the Great River.

The official statement in the official court newspaper is: Shang Shu Zuo Servant and Household Department Shangshu Wei Zixuan Wei Daren, due to labor and government affairs, was seriously ill, and the diagnosis and treatment of the Tai Hospital was ineffective, and finally unfortunately passed away.

A generation of virtuous ministers abandoned the country, the emperor was reluctant, and the officials were sad.

Li Jiangyao put down the court report and picked up the secret report sent by Yuan Bin: Wei Zixuan's identity was exposed, he committed suicide in fear of crime, and it was confirmed that he was a rebel wasp. The chief officer of the case, Ouyang Lin of the Forbidden Army's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, has a background to be investigated.

Li Jiangyao recited the name of "Ouyang Lin" twice, and instructed Yudra who was standing in front of him: "This person named Ouyang Lin, you must find out as soon as possible and pay close attention. ”

Yudra nodded: "I understand. can knock down Wei Zixuan quietly, and he has never shown his reputation to the public, which shows that Ouyang Lin is by no means an ordinary person. We judge that this person has made great contributions, and it is very likely that he will succeed Tian Mu and become the new director of the Anti-Scale Division, or another secret yamen loyal to the Holy Tang Emperor, so we must be vigilant. ”

Li Jiangyao agreed: "I am relieved that you can think about it like this." Whether Ouyang Lin is friend or foe is still difficult to judge, it is always right to be cautious. Also, How's it going to go with the tracking of Rui Ji? ”

"Yuan Bin didn't mention this matter this time, so there must have been no progress." Yudra replied: "Lord Shen and he raided Lao Jianhua's stronghold before, and did not involve the Imperial Capital Branch, so in the process of searching for Rui Ji later, the brothers were relatively slow to get started. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and at the same time pondered: "It stands to reason that Rui Ji shouldn't disappear out of thin air." Not to mention whether she can escape from the imperial capital in time, first of all, the task given to her by Lao Jianhua must not have been completed, and Rui Ji should not leave easily. But it's been so long, and I haven't seen any moths in the imperial capital. ”

Yudra frowned, and guessed, "You say...... Will Wei Zixuan's fall be related to Rui Ji? After all, these two things are too close. ”

"You mean, the reason why Ouyang Lin was able to kill Wei Zixuan was because he caught Rui Ji?" Li Jiangyao pondered: "Tsk, think about it carefully, maybe there is really such a possibility." Why don't you let Brother Shen and Yuan Bin take a look? ”

Yudra promised, "Okay, I'll send someone to inform them immediately." ”

-

"Master, has the team left?" Seeing Lao Jianhua walking into the house, Li Jian hurriedly got up and asked.

Lao Jianhua looked serious, nodded and said, "I left last night." ”

Li Wei stepped forward to help him sit down, and said softly and comfortingly, "Master doesn't have to worry. The wasp has been deep in the enemy camp for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed and killed......"

"The old man is not sorry for him, but he is worried about Rui Ji," Lao Jianhua frowned: "There are also those brothers in the imperial capital stronghold, I'm afraid something has happened." ”

Li Bing poured a cup of hot tea for Lao Jianhua, held it in both hands and sent it to the other party, and couldn't help but be curious: "In order to avoid problems, the master specially arranged for both of them to have a one-line contact with you, and there is no horizontal intersection between them, so they shouldn't be involved with each other?" ”

"That's why the old man doesn't feel steady." Lao Jianhua took the teacup, put it on the table casually, and then shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the whole incident is too strange and weird. At the same time that the wasp broke its wings, Rui Ji and the Imperial Capital Eyeliner also cut off all contact with us. The old man wanted to figure out what was wrong with Wei Zixuan? Who was secretly bringing him down? But his eyes were black, and he couldn't even receive the most basic information. ”

Li Ji was also worried about Rui Ji, and said in a deep voice: "Are those people sent effective?" ”

Lao Jianhua glanced at him lightly and responded: "Don't worry, this time, in order to find out the situation in the imperial capital, the old man invited your uncle out of the mountain." ”

"My uncle?" Li Bing couldn't help but be stunned: "Why doesn't the disciple know that you have another junior disciple?" ”

Lao Jianhua said: "Actually, it's not a serious fellow disciple, it's just a name that we are used to within the Reverse Scale Division." This person had worked with the old man in Beiya back then, and I still had a life-saving grace for him. Because he made a mistake, he was swept out of the house by his predecessor Shi Qinzhu, and he hibernated in the rivers and lakes for many years. Alas, it's hard to put into words. ”

Li Ji was a little curious about this: "Since it is the old department of the reverse scale, is he willing to work for us?" ”

"It's not just as simple as effectiveness," Lao Jianhua explained: "I persuaded him to go out of the mountain, and there was also a layer of meaning to help him take revenge." ”

"Who to get revenge on?" Li Jiong asked.

Lao Jianhua was silent for a moment and replied, "Li Bing." ”

Li Bing was stunned for a moment: "When your junior brother left the Reverse Scale Division, Li Bing should still be a baby, right?" How could you make a feud with him? ”

"Because Li Bing is Li Chengwen's son," Lao Jianhua said lightly, "And his great enemy is the short-lived emperor who only reigned for one year." ”

-

Ouyang Lin finished sorting out the volume, and the food on the table was already cold.

He frowned and ordered the food to be served. Anyway, I'm already too hungry, so I don't really want to eat at this time.

While cleaning up, the subordinates asked Ouyang Lin what to do next with Miss Mu, who was under house arrest in the guest room.

Ouyang Lin took a sip of hot tea and asked indifferently, "These days...... Did she react out of the ordinary? ”

"Uh...... It doesn't seem to be anything special, just keep asking yourself when you can go. The subordinate thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's weird to say." A girl's family, quite calm. After being locked up for so many days, he didn't cry or make a fuss, as if he knew he would be left here. ”

Ouyang Lin raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup: "You go and bring her, the official has something to ask." ”

The subordinate hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran out. After a short time, Rui Ji was "accompanied" by two tigers and leopards and came to Ouyang Lin's signing room.

Almost as soon as they met, Rui Ji immediately recognized the adult sitting behind the bookcase. Although she couldn't remember the other party's name, she was still sure that this was the old man she had seen in the eastern capital of Luoyi!

Rui Ji's surprised reaction was all revealed in Ouyang Lin's eyes. He smiled faintly and ordered the subordinates next to him, "Come, show Miss Rui a seat." ”

Ouyang Lin said this very quickly, and he couldn't hear whether he was referring to "Miss Mu" or "Miss Rui".

Rui Ji couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly gave a salute to hide her panic.

After she sat down, Ouyang Lin asked with a smile: "I have wronged you these days, are you still used to eating and lodging?" ”

Rui Ji pretended not to have seen anything in the world, and bowed her head in shame and fear, "Thank you for your care, everything is fine." ”

Ouyang Lin deliberately joked like a cat catching a mouse: "In the past few days, Jingzhao Yin Mansion has arrested key criminals and arrested a lot of scoundrels on the street. ”

Rui Ji still lowered her head: "Then it's up to you." The grace of the adults to save their lives is grateful. ”

Ouyang Lin smiled, smashing it.

Now that Wei Zixuan has been ambushed, he no longer has to worry about whether Rui Ji is here to make trouble and destroy, so he continued to say lightly: "Girl, this official looks at you a little familiar, have we seen it anywhere before?" ”

Rui Ji scolded in her heart, and at the same time, she knew that she had been exposed, and she would definitely not be able to mix it up today. Rather than being teased by the other party like this, it is better to be straightforward and happy.

Thinking of this, she raised her head lightly and smiled: "I don't know where the adults have seen the people's daughter?" ”

Ouyang Lin also saw the change in Rui Ji's state, and guessed that the other party decided to give up the struggle to cover up, so he said lightly: "It seems to be in Luoyi, you are very similar to the wife of a friend of mine." ”

Rui Jimei's eyes were full of color, and she responded with a smile: "Then let me guess, that friend of the adult, but the surname is Murong?" ”

Ouyang Lin smiled.

After taking Wei Zixuan, another big fish crashed into his net.

"Mrs. Rui, when you see the Eastern Capital, don't come to harm?" Ouyang Lin leaned on the back of the chair and said neatly.

Rui Ji took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. It's been so long that I've forgotten my name. ”

"My name is Ouyang Lin, the commander of the Eastern Capital Patrol Battalion."

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Ouyang." Rui Ji suddenly said: "As soon as you say this, I remember. Back then, it seems that you came to Murong Xue because of offending the Xuanjia Army, right? ”

Ouyang Lin smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Madame, good memory!" This official is a small character like a sesame mung bean, compared to Lord Murong, like a firefly facing the bright moon, Madame can still remember the reason why I looked for your husband at that time, which shows that he is thoughtful and has an excellent memory. If you are not talented, you must be specially trained. ”

"Lord Ouyang, you don't have to take my words." Rui Ji smiled faintly: "In your hands, I'm afraid I won't have a good end, why waste my lips and tongue?" ”

Ouyang Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "That's not necessarily. Madame Rui, as long as you are willing to answer some simple questions from this official, maybe I can let you live. ”

"What if I don't cooperate?"

"If you don't answer, this official can also give you a chance to live," the smile on Ouyang Lin's face gradually became cold: "It's just that it feels like life is worse than death." ”

In the face of the undisguised threat, Rui Ji still smiled: "Lord Ouyang, you also said just now, I have been specially trained, and this naturally includes the test of torture. I don't know if you believe it or not? I can kill myself before I have tasted the torture, so that you will not get anything. ”

A trace of ruthless light flashed in Ouyang Lin's eyes, and then disappeared again, he smiled and said softly, "Why do you have to do this? Isn't it good to live freely? ”

Rui Ji shook her head, "Of course I want to live, but I can't believe your promise. ”

Ouyang Lin immediately heard that there was still a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked, "Then who can you trust?" ”

"I only believe in one person, Murong Xue."
