Just when the assassin wanted to stab the second sword, he was stopped by the anti-theft cavalry who rushed to the scene, and after a fight, the number of dead and wounded men in black increased, and the man led by Mei Yu with a coldness, at this time he had been stabbed twice, in order to prevent his companion from continuing to die, he said: "Let's withdraw." ”

The few remaining black-clothed men listened to his command and fled in a bird's way.

At this time, Shen Chen just arrived, Liang Bo's eyes locked on the man led by him, and chased after him, because it was night, after leaving the palace, the man in black flew all the way and disappeared after hiding in a forest.

Shen Chen also ordered the people of the investigation factory to strictly investigate and search.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Jingping was furious and ordered Shen Chen to take charge of the case, and he must arrest the assassin and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, without a trace of hidden danger.

finally suppressed the matter of King An, and there was an assassin in front of him, and the emperor must investigate it to the end.

Two days later, the detective factory detected that the black-clothed man led by the detective factory fled in the direction of Yangzhou City.

The capital is booming near the end of the year, and what Shen Chen thinks about every day is the existence of Ah Zhi, who is reunited during the festival, and it seems sad that he directly led people to Yangzhou City to arrest the murderer.

Catching up all the way, when I arrived in Yangzhou City, it was already the New Year.

Under the careful search of the Detective Factory, the man in black was finally caught in Yangzhou City and imprisoned in the local prison. His true identity was surprising, it was actually Master Zhichen of Longhua Temple.

The reputation of Longhua Temple is so great, no one knows, no one knows, the people of Yangzhou City spread it all over the world, and they can't imagine that the master of Longhua Temple is actually an assassin.

The first time he caught someone, Shen Chen did not return to Beijing immediately, but sent a book back to the palace and asked Emperor Jingping's opinion.

Ah Zhi had previously praised Yangzhou City, a famous city through the ages.

The weeping poplars continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose teeth Hongqiao is drawing, Ah Zhi, will you be here?

Shen Chen didn't give up and sent someone to look for it again. At the same time, Monk Zhichen had a very hard mouth, even if he was tortured, he didn't reveal half a sentence, from the time he was caught to the present, he couldn't ask a useful word, and in the end, Shen Chen didn't torture him anymore, and directly locked people in prison and waited for the emperor's instructions.

After Emperor Jingping knew that he got the news, he immediately sent a letter to Shen Chen in an urgent manner, asking Shen Chen to execute Monk Zhichen at the Yangzhou City Execution Ground on February 2, and kill one to make an example of him.

……

Jingping twenty-one years.

The 25th day of the first month.

Xinghua Village.

Because of being in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not cold even in winter, but the cold wind blows more, and it is not like the goose feather snow in the capital.

Because Ming Yan wanted to buy some meat, oil and salt, there was no one in Xinghua Village, so she had to go out to Taiping Town, five miles away, to buy it.

On this day, I put on a veil, dressed up as a village girl, and went out early to take an ox cart to the village and go to the town.

It just so happened that Aunt Li, who had always wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, also went to the market.

"Ming Yan, you're so early today, what are you going to buy in town?"

Aunt Li greeted warmly, her chubby face smiling, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

There were four people on the ox cart, Chen Cheman, Aunt Li, Ming Yan, and Li Zhuangnian, who was 50 years old at the end of the village.

Ming Yan didn't look at her, and blinked a pair of smart big eyes to look at the flowers and plants next to her: "Buy some oil and salt, but nothing else." ”

Miss said that Aunt Li wants her to be her daughter-in-law, if she doesn't want to be, then don't have too many topics.

I casually said a few perfunctory words~

Aunt Li is a standard peasant woman, dressed plainly, and her perennial cultivation has made her face a little older, and there are many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
