The August sun shines on the quaint and heavy city walls, which are thousands of years old and have many potholes and scars, which is the glory of this ancient city through the war.

This is the capital of the Zhao State.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, it has always stood on the earth.

At the gate of the city, four soldiers in loose armor hid in the cave of the city gate, leaning lazily against the shady wall to avoid the heat of the autumn tiger.

Inside and outside the city gates, people came and went, and the noise was non-stop.

One of the soldiers looked out of the city and said, "There are a lot of beggars from the south lately. ”

"I heard that there was a big flood in the south some time ago, and it may be that the people who fled here." The other soldier said unconcernedly.

From the gate of the city to more than ten miles outside the city, there were many beggars from the south, who wandered around the capital, begging for a bite to eat.

The official road extending out of the city along the city gate, a pedestrian from south to north passed one after another.

Chen Ke left the southern state capital with Qin's sister-in-law and Xiaobao and went north to Beijing. Sister-in-law Qin went to find her father-in-law, who was an official, and Chen Ke went to find Lord Longtulong in the capital.

Chen Ke was dressed in coarse cloth blue, which was the clothes that Qin's sister-in-law left at home. Worn on Chen Ke, it also fits well. Sister-in-law Qin and Xiaobao are also dressed in coarse cloth, and Sister-in-law Qin has wrinkles on her face, but she shows a happy expression.

"Finally arrived in the capital."

Sister-in-law Qin said.

Chen Ke carried Xiaobao on his back and nodded, "It's finally here." ”

Sister-in-law Qin thanked and said, "Brother Chen, thanks to you all this way, if it weren't for you, Xiaobao and I would have to let that big worm eat it." ”

On the way to Beijing, not all of them are smooth and easy to walk official roads, but also some mountain roads, and there are tigers across the mountains, but fortunately Chen Ke beat away the evil tigers.

Xiaobao immediately said: "Brother Chen Ke is the most powerful, he can smash away tigers with stones, and I will be as powerful as Brother Chen Ke when I grow up." ”

Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile: "If you want to be as powerful as Brother Chen Ke, you have to eat more so that you have the strength to lift a stone as big as him like Brother Chen Ke." ”

Chen Ke smashed the tiger's stone, there was more than one person high, Chen Ke was not difficult to lift, smashed it hard, the smashed tiger was unbearable, dragging the injured body and quickly escaping into the mountains and forests.

This scene shocked Sister-in-law Qin and Xiaobao, and Chen Ke, who was a little emaciated, had such a huge amount of power hidden in his body.

It's a pity that Su Zhao smashed the tiger from the side and smashed the tiger out. If it is smashed from above, Su Zhao will be a hero who fights tigers.

Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law Qin, don't thank me, if you hadn't rescued me, I would have died in the river and been eaten by fish and insects, where can I follow you to the capital." ”

Where is the opportunity, go find those wicked people and ask for their lives!

The hatred in Chen Ke's eyes was hidden, he wouldn't tell Sister-in-law Qin too much of his hatred, Sister-in-law Qin was a good person, she would worry about herself.

Qin's sister-in-law went to Beijing to look for her husband, and Su Zhao also went to Beijing to find the Lord Longtu to inquire about the situation and tell about the tragedy in Chenjiazhuang, Chen Ke didn't believe that the officials in the world didn't dare to take this big case!

If you don't do anything, what are you doing as an official!

When they came to the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city saw that Chen Ke and Qin's sister-in-law were not beggars, and they let them into the city without checking.

Entering the city, the prosperity of the capital rushes head-on, the traffic is busy, the flow of people is continuous, and the shouting on the street is even more non-stop.

Chen Ke glanced at the huge square bluestone brick paved street, clean and tidy all the way to the inside.

The city gate was already very wide, which could accommodate eight carriages side by side, and after entering the city, Chen Ke understood what the capital was. The street in front of me can accommodate sixteen horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the houses on both sides are the shortest three-story buildings.

"The capital is really prosperous." Chen Ke said, turned his head and asked Sister-in-law Qin: "Sister-in-law Qin, where is Xiaobao's father an official, I know a few words, I can help you find it." ”

Sister-in-law Qin said: "I don't know, I say it's the Ministry of Rites, I'm a country woman, and I don't understand what kind of cloth the Ministry of Rites is." ”

Chen Ke suddenly said: "The Ministry of Rites should be the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites." It's not early, let's find an inn to rest today, and go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow morning to ask. ”

Sister-in-law Qin showed a gentle smile: "Okay." ”

Su Zhao and the others found a simple inn, even if it was simple, it cost Sister-in-law Qin a lot of money to rent two wooden houses.

Sister-in-law Qin helped Chen Ke make the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are not young, and your strength is also great, when I see Xiaobao and his father, I will help you mention it, ask for an errand for you, and then help you find a daughter-in-law and settle down in the capital,"

Chen Ke smiled and said casually: "Sister-in-law Qin, don't you know, I have an uncle from the same township who moved to the capital five or six years ago, and I used to have a baby kiss with his daughter. ”

When Sister-in-law Qin heard this, she shook her head and said, "Brother Chen, the family has already moved to the capital, and I am afraid that it is already a rich and noble family. Don't mention this doll again, for fear of being displeased. Or I'll ask Xiaobao's father to help you find a lover, which is more effective than a doll. ”

Chen Ke didn't want to continue to talk about the baby's parents, it was a joke that his aunt used to make fun of him. Thinking of his aunt, Chen Ke's face darkened slightly, and he said, "Then listen to Sister-in-law Qin." ”

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law will find you a beautiful girl." Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile.

After cleaning up the room, Sister-in-law Qin took Xiaobao back to her room.

As the night darkens, the city is brightly lit, far from being comparable to the local state and county.

Chen Ke lay on the bed, did not close his eyes for a long time to rest, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was the tragic destruction of his hometown, the hideous faces of the group of murderers stained with the blood of his villagers, and the bloody knives in their hands.

Chen Ke clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and whispered: "I have come to the capital, I will definitely find out their identities, find their nest, and avenge your aunt!" ”

Chen Ke touched the position of his chest, the sword wound here had grown at this time, and only a shallow red mark remained. In order to see the murderer's face, Chen Ke also saw the other party's appearance clearly when he died, and turned into a ghost to take revenge!

But he won't die!

"Fire, run!"

"Save me, save ......"

"Ke'er, run away, run away!"

Chen Ke woke up suddenly, sweating, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he dreamed of the night when the village was destroyed, and his heart hurt a little again.

Chen Ke adjusted his breathing mode and continued to use the method taught by Uncle Wang to relieve the pain in his chest.

Chen Ke remembered that they were armed with crossbows, not like ordinary mountain bandits, saying the words of cultivators, Chen Ke guessed that they were not simple bandits.

The county magistrate of Junjiang County is even more reluctant to ask about this kind of thing!

I'll be able to find out who they are soon! The Jingzhao Mansion Yin of the capital is a Qing official, he has solved a lot of unjust cases, he is familiar with the affairs of the prison, and he will definitely be able to find out the origin of their group of beasts! ”

Chen Ke clenched his fists and got up to freshen up.

At this time, it was not yet dawn.

Half an hour later, the sky was bright, and Sister-in-law Qin also got up early, compared to Chen Ke's awakening, Sister-in-law Qin was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

knocked on the door, Sister-in-law Qin came to see Chen Ke and asked Chen Ke to take her to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Chen Ke agreed, took Qin's sister-in-law, Qin's sister-in-law hugged Xiaobao, asked the innkeeper for the location, and went to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Looking at the majestic Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Ke asked Sister-in-law Xiang Qin: "We don't have a certificate, how can we meet Xiaobao's father?" ”

Sister-in-law Qin said: "I have Xiaobao's father's name post, and I ask Brother Xiao Chen to help me send it, I am a peasant woman, going to his office like this will embarrass him." ”

Chen Ke looked at Sister-in-law Qin's cramped and uneasy appearance, so he had to nod and say, "Okay." ”

Sister-in-law Qin took out a neatly wrapped name card from her arms, carefully took it out, and handed it to Chen Ke.

"Brother Xiao Chen, I'm sorry for you." Sister-in-law Qin said gratefully.

Chen Ke smiled: "It should be." ”

The name card is a status symbol, and few people dare to fake it.

Chen Ke smiled and walked towards the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately a guard officer stopped him, Chen Ke took out his name and said: "I am a fellow countryman of Lord Qin, and I have something to see him." ”

The soldier took the name post, saw the name on it, and smiled: "The young man is reckless, the name is not clear, this name is written on Chen Ying, you can remember the wrong name when you find someone, you kid is also interesting." ”

Chen Ke was slightly stunned, Qin's sister-in-law's husband is not surnamed Qin, Chen Ke patted his head, and said with a smile: "I was negligent and misremembered, and I asked the two of you to tell this Lord Chen that I am from his hometown." ”

"Count your kid lucky, Lord Chen is in the yamen at the moment, and you will later." The official took the name slip and walked inside.

After a while, a man with a handsome face and fair skin walked out, Chen Ke looked carefully, this person was indeed handsome, no wonder Sister-in-law Qin kept praising her for being fair-looking.

Chen Ying walked out of the yamen in a purple scarlet robe, saw Chen Ke standing at the door, and asked about the situation, as soon as Chen Ke said Qin's sister-in-law, this Chen Ying pulled Chen Ke to the corner in the distance of the yamen.

Sister-in-law Qin was standing around the corner and hiding, but she saw Chen Ke coming over, and Chen Ying behind Chen Ke!

"Xianggong!"

Sister-in-law Qin exclaimed in surprise, with tears in her eyes.

Xiaobao had only seen his father when he was a baby, where would he remember what his father looked like, but when he heard the shout of Sister-in-law Qin, he also stared at Chen Ying who came over.

Chen Ying wanted to pull Chen Ke to whisper, but when he heard the familiar voice, he was also stunned, and then his face changed slightly, and he walked quickly to Sister-in-law Qin.

Sister-in-law Qin also walked quickly with the child in her arms, and when the husband and wife saw each other, they should have been affectionate, but Chen Ke looked at Chen Ying's frowning and preoccupied.

Chen Ying looked at the child in Qin's sister-in-law's arms, and said to Chen Ke: "This little brother, please take the child to the side, I want to say something to the cheap." ”

Chen Ke frowned slightly, holding the child and leaving, what is Xiaobao can't hear?

But seeing Sister-in-law Qin's happy face, Chen Ke nodded and walked into the distance with Xiaobao in his arms.

Xiaobao was in Chen Ke's arms and asked nervously: "Brother Chen Ke, why doesn't my father let me listen to them, does he hate me?" ”

Chen Ke smiled and comforted: "How is it possible, it must be that your parents haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are embarrassed to whisper in front of you." ”

Not long after, the red-eyed sister-in-law Qin came back, but the husband of the sister-in-law of Qin, Chen Ying, did not come.

"What about others?" Chen Ke asked suspiciously.

Sister-in-law Qin laughed dryly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "He still has to deal with official business, and he can't come out for too long for the time being, let's go back first." ”

"Go back?" Chen Ke asked, "Go to his mansion in the capital?" ”

Sister-in-law Qin shook her head, her lips were a little dry, she pursed her lips, her eyes were a little dim, and said, "Let's go back to the inn first." ”

Chen Ke said: "Okay, I want to meet Lord Longtulong in the dark of the capital in the afternoon. ”

Sister-in-law Qin asked with concern, "Do you want to help?" ”

Chen Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "No, this Lord Longtu is very talkative." ”

On the way back, Chen Ke looked at Sister-in-law Qin and didn't seem to be as happy as when he didn't see Chen Ying just now, as if Chen Ying's heavy thoughts had stained Sister-in-law Qin's eyebrows.

Chen Ke and Sister-in-law Qin went back to the inn, ate some dry cakes hastily at noon, and asked the innkeeper again about the location of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and Chen Ke went to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

Sister-in-law Qin's matter has been settled, it's time to settle his own blood feud!

In the first step, Chen Ke first wanted to find the nationally famous Qingtian Lord Long Tulong to verify one thing. The accents of some people in that group were very similar to those of the people in the capital, which was a clue that Chen Ke found when he came to the capital.

Like the people in the capital, holding a crossbow, talking about cultivators, and the cross tattoos on their faces, Chen Ke has found a lot of clue fragments about them.

If that Lord Longtu really decids the case like a god, he will definitely be able to put the pieces together!

Chen Ke believes that he can help himself!

When he came to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the guards stopped Chen Ke and prevented him from entering.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin is a member of the first rank of the dynasty, how can he see it if he wants to, Chen Keguang thought about his deep hatred, but forgot this reality.

No, Chen Ke could only hide next to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and wait for this Qingtian master to come down to the court.

As for the appearance of Lord Longtu, Chen Ke has also inquired clearly, about forty, the beard is not long, and the one with the most patches in the official robe is.

By the time it got dark, the officials had already changed shifts, and Chen Ke didn't see Lord Longtu go down.
