In the twenty-third year of Tianfu, on August 16, at the beginning of Chen, it rained in Yujing City, which can be described as a good rain season.

Although the rain only fell for two quarters of an hour, it washed away the haze that shrouded the sky over Yujing City, and there seemed to be no change in Chengtianmen Square except for the lack of a Qiongcao Tower.

Stay until the sun rises in the east, and it will still be brilliant.

However, the atmosphere in the Jingzhao Mansion was as heavy as mercury, and the officials entered and exited lightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear that a slight movement would annoy the three displeased faces of the three officials in the back hall.

Last night's search yielded nothing.

As one of the three chief officials in charge of the "Assassination Case", Lu Shengxiang was the only civil official, and this Zhengsipin Jingzhao Mansion Yin who wore a scarlet robe and embroidered cloud geese was frowning and looking down at a huge sand table.

There are many small green and red flags on the sand table.

This is based on the sand table made according to the map of Yujing City, the outer Guo city wall pinched by clay, the wall of the fang market pinched by yellow wax, one hundred and eight squares and twenty-four streets are arranged as tightly as a chessboard, and even the winding alleys and canals in the square are exquisite.

There is also a small fourth-order dragon copper kettle next to it, which is in the same tone as the giant twelveth-order five-toed golden dragon copper kettle in the Vermilion Bird Gate.

The inland situation of Yujing City is intricate, there are water and land channels between the squares, there are sandwich walls between the city walls, there are ditches under the bridges, there are ridges beside the slopes, there are countless hidden doors, culverts, and sandwich wall passages, how to link each other into a network, where to connect, no one can figure out all of them.

However, with this sand table, supplemented by dripping, the changes in the current situation in the entire Yujing City can be clearly understood in your chest, and you can also know it in your heart.

Last night, the sage issued a holy decree, ordering the three divisions of Wei Qiansi, Jingzhao Mansion, and Demon Hunting Division to join forces to arrest Gu Baimen.

"Last night, Jin Wuwei, the forbidden army, the Wei Qiansi, and the demon hunting department dispatched thousands of people to search and arrest along the canal, and the four squares of Buzheng, Yanshou, Heshan, and Taiping have all been blocked, and they have been searched one by one."

Lu Shengxiang took down a green flag on the sand table, planted a red flag in his place, and said to the old man beside him:

"Master Guan, there is a Ming and Qing canal connecting the Xilu Gate in Taipingfang, the curfew was temporarily relaxed last night, the three gates of Vermilion Bird, Xilu and Shaoyang are still far away from Chengtianmen, I don't know the movement here, the guards may be relaxed, will the thief girl have already left the city?"

The Demon Hunting Division went because of the deputy director Nangong Yanjun's imperial sword, and Shangguan Jinghong had to go out overnight and invite Guan Yuchan, another deputy division master who had been disarmed and returned to the field, back.

Guan Yuchan, who was wearing a straight-shirted shirt, stroked his beard and shook his head: "Ming Qingqu has to pass through Changle Fang, and the public office of the Demon Hunting Division is in Changle Fang. ”

This is self-evident, if you want to get out of the city from the Ming and Qing Canals, it is absolutely impossible.

Lu Shengxiang's face was pale, he didn't believe that a big living person could disappear under the noses of thousands of people: "I heard that the thief girl can fly in the sky, she is a high-level monk, will she?" ”

Guan Yuchan raised two fingers and pointed to the tall building in the distance: "Sanbao Zhenren has been on the Star Picking Tower all night, she wants to escape from the air, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Lu Shengxiang has no hostility towards this older generation of demon hunters who have become famous, and now they are all people in the same boat, and they should be in the same boat.

Lu Shengxiang said: "In this way, the thief girl has not yet left the city, so it is very likely that she is still hiding in the Taiping Fang." ”

As soon as Dian Kui heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, raised his head and said loudly: "Two adults, since the thief girl is still in the Taiping Fang and handed it over to Dian Kui, I will go and ask for a thousand black horsemen to be transferred and search from house to house." ”

His left shoulder was treated by the miracle doctor Sun Nanxing with an injection in time, and he finally saved his entire arm without danger. He failed to take down the thief last night, and almost lost his life, at this time, he will not atone for his crimes, if the saint is guilty afterwards, he is afraid that the end will be worrying.

But Lu Shengxiang and Guan Yuchan shook their heads at the same time.

Thousands of people fanfare last night, which already made the people of Sifang panic, and in addition, in Taipingfang, various forces are intertwined, and it is a complex whirlpool of light and dark, eating people without spitting out bones.

Although there is a sage's imperial decree, some of the big families who live in it are more or less related to the immortal sect on the mountain, and the slightest carelessness will affect the whole body.

Although there are people who slaughter the name of the murderer, it is no problem to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is difficult to expect him to mediate with those old treacherous and cunning people in the Taiping Fang.

In the name of human slaughter, in their eyes, the weight is still far from enough!

Jingzhao Mansion and Demon Hunting Division have two suitable candidates, one is Qin Shiyue, the head catcher, and there is the super tree of the Qin family behind him, and all the big families in Taipingfang can enter; The other one is Meng Huai'an, who is very familiar with Yujing's secret place.

It's a pity that both of them are seriously injured now, and they are still recuperating in the Zhizi Medical Center in Wannian County.

Dian Kui was discouraged for a moment, but he also understood his shortcomings, and smashed his fist on the ground, smashing the bricks to pieces.

Lu Shengxiang was a little distressed about the floor tiles, and said: "Dian Duwei, Jingzhao Mansion is the Qingshui Yamen, and the meager amount of this mansion can't afford to exchange for a few floor tiles." ”

Dian Kui was stunned for a moment, and then felt disdainful, if Xu Ji was here, with just one look, this Jingzhao Mansion Yin would probably have to go home and think about where his hand was not clean.

Guan Yuchan turned a deaf ear, he hesitated, and Lu Shengxiang asked, "Master Guan, do you have a suitable candidate for recommendation here?" ”

Guan Yuchan hesitated, sighed, and said, "There is a candidate in the division, but..."

Lu Shengxiang's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to guess who the other party was going to say: "But the one who solved the 'cat demon case'?" ”

Regarding the cat demon hurting people incident that happened in the city a few days ago, the warden Kui, who was the commander of the Wei Qiansi Zuodu, naturally heard about it, and knew all the details of the person who solved the case, and said with some displeasure: "Master Guan, he is the son of the business, if the sage knows..."

Guan Yuchan raised his palm and interrupted him gently but resolutely, "In the business road, in the business road, he is him, if you really want to talk about it, he is also a victim of that incident." ”

He glanced at Lu Shengxiang and said directly: "Even the Jingzhao Mansion is helpless in the 'cat demon case', he has arrested the cat demon through clues in less than two days, and dares to ask the two adults, where to find a more suitable person than him if he doesn't need such a thoughtful person." ”

Lu Shengxiang's face changed slightly, there was a trace of anger in his eyes, and Dian Kui fell into a memory, thoughtful.

Both were hesitant, though.

Guan Yuchan continued: "The two of you don't know, two days ago, there was a case of a tiger demon eating people in Nanshan Town, Wannian County, and he also killed the tiger demon. That tiger demon has condensed the demon pill, Dian Duwei, you should know what it means to have a tiger demon that condensed the demon pill, right? ”

The two were shocked. Especially Lu Shengxiang, he was afraid for no reason, Qin Shiyue had reported to him before he went to Wannian County. Fortunately, this head catcher with an extraordinary background has no worries about his life, otherwise the Qin family will blame him, and he Lu Shengxiang's official uniform will not be able to wear it.

Dian Kui came back to his senses and asked, "I wonder where he is now?" ”

He knew the saint in the palace, and if he really wanted to anger this person because of the business, he would not have saved his life to this day.

Guan Yuchan shouted outside: "Li Wentong, you come in." ”

In Ohqing, a middle-aged demon hunter wearing a Xuansu suit walked into the back hall, and Guan Yuchan asked, "Where is Shang Qing now?" ”

"Oops...... That melon baby, I'm afraid I'm going to General Xia's house! ”

"Which General Xia?"

"It's Xia Long and General Xia!"

A gilt bronze medal suddenly crossed the air, Li Wentong hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and Dian Kui said: "Use my black horse to pick it up, and I will see him here in half an hour." ”

Li Wentong looked at Guan Yuchan, and after seeing him nodding, he hurriedly ran out of the mansion.
