Early the next morning, as soon as the curfew passed, someone came to Liufu and knocked on the door, and as soon as the gatehouse opened, it was learned that it was someone sent by a thousand households to look for Liuxin, and the gatehouse immediately welcomed people in, and notified Liuxin.

At this time, Liu Xin had just gotten up, washed up, and was ready to go to the hundred households to be on duty after breakfast, and today he was going to find the group of women and children. At present, several lines of this case go hand in hand, but the poison, the person who entered the imperial city, or the group of people, and the master who attacked the women and children in the outer city, and later came out to exterminate the mouth, etc., these clues have stopped and it will take some time.

The only thing Liu Xin can check is the group of women and children, who had no chance the day before yesterday, but was dragged to the assessment yesterday, and finally got free today.

As soon as I arrived at the dining room, I saw the porter coming in a hurry, saying that everyone from a thousand households was coming, and he urgently recruited Liu Xin to go to a thousand households.

Liu Xin hurriedly ate two bites, then went out in full gear and got into the carriage, Liu Xin suddenly remembered that his three horses were taken away by the people of the Thousand Households in the Outer North City, and the Thousand Households in the Outer North City were none other than Shao Shiwang.

Thinking of Shao Shiwang, Liu Xin had a headache, this guy is not only a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but also a nobleman, his ancestor is a hero who followed Emperor Wuyang to restore the country, and he has a hereditary title to this day.

During the period of Emperor Kangyang, this Shao Shiwang did not have a vegetarian meal and maintained a certain level of literacy, so he was not cut off, but was given a real job as a brocade guard.

Behind Shao Shiwang is a whole group of honorable people, another powerful force that cannot be ignored beyond the two major factions of civil and military.

Just like the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the fifth person in the dignified Dali Temple, because he belongs to the same noble camp, he easily handed over a felony to Shao Shiwang. It can be seen that there is a lot of unity within the Xungui Group.

Xungui's faction, Liu Xin originally didn't want to touch, that is, a big dye vat, too complicated. But now there is nothing to do, I didn't cause trouble, and people took the initiative to find the door.

Just as he was about to go out, another person came from outside Liu's house, claiming to be delivering a post. Liu Xin was on official business, so he took the post and prepared to read it in the carriage.

Putting Shao Shiwang's matter behind him for the time being, Liu Xin opened the worship post and was stunned suddenly, because the post read:

After the king of Yongzhou County invited Liu Baihu to be on duty, the fireworks building gathered and discussed important matters.

King of Yongzhou County!

A simple sentence gave Liu Xin a big shock, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage and found that Senior Brother Cheng had already walked on the side of the carriage.

Senior Brother Cheng saw Liu Xin open the curtain and was a little puzzled, but saw Liu Xin beckoning, meaning to get in the car!

Senior Brother Cheng immediately got into the car, and Liu Xin handed the post to Senior Brother Cheng, who took it and looked at it carefully, his expression gradually became solemn, and he had some doubts.

After a while, Senior Brother Cheng picked up the post and handed it to Liu Xindao: "I'll get out of the car and make arrangements, check the details of this Yongzhou County King, and why he found you." ”、

Liu Xin nodded: "Okay." ”

After Senior Brother Cheng got out of the car, he quickly disappeared into the street, Liu Xin frowned slightly, thinking about when he had crossed paths with the king of Yongzhou County, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't find it, so he didn't think about it for the time being, but began to guess what happened when Liu Licheng called him in a hurry.

When he arrived at the gate of the Thousand Households, Liu Xin got out of the car, and the two lieutenants at the gate of the Thousand Households said in unison:

"I've seen Liu Baihu!"

Liu Xin bowed slightly, strode into the gate of the thousand households, came to the courtyard of the atrium, crossed the courtyard gate, and found that Liu Licheng, Cheng Guotao, and Gong Kexin had already arrived. Everyone's eyes fell on the ground in the courtyard, and Liu Xin also took the opportunity to look over, only to see seven corpses lying on the ground.

Liu Licheng raised his eyes and saw Liu Xin, so a smile appeared on his solemn face, he beckoned and said, "Liu Xin is here, come quickly!" This was the one I arranged for someone to ambush last night, and they were going to assassinate the group of women and children you saved the day before yesterday again! ”

Liu Xin was shocked, stepped forward quickly, and when he got closer, he saw that the seven people were all wearing pure black clothes, and their faces were covered with black cloths. But by this time their faces had been revealed, and the black cloth was placed on the side of their heads.

"What's the matter, those women are safe?"

Cheng Guotao's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "Last night, Lao Wu personally guarded, this group of people was ambushed, except for the one who escaped, the rest are here!" ”

Cheng Guotao pointed to several corpses on the ground, and then added: "The one who escaped was also injured, we have issued a document to let all checkpoints in the city be strictly searched, and spies have been installed in various medical halls and medicine halls, as long as that person dares to appear, he will definitely be able to take it!" ”

Liu Xin looked at the seven corpses and frowned deeply.

Liu Licheng saw Liu Xin's expression, so he asked, "Liu Xin, do you have any ideas, you can say it." ”

Liu Xin nodded, first saluted, and then said: "Lord Qianhu, this group of killers wants to kill these women three times and twice, I think this group of women must know something, and it may be the content that points to the key clues of the Imperial Horse Prison case!" ”

Cheng Guotao nodded in agreement: "That's right, Lord Qianhu and we think the same way." That's why I called you earlier to hear your opinion. Since they have the same opinion, Senno-sama means that I should go and talk to this group of women and see if I can find any clues. And Liu Baihu needs to complete another task. ”

Liu Xin raised his head and asked suspiciously: "Another task?" Isn't the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor the most important at the moment? ”

Cheng Guotao said with a smile: "It's not another case, it's also this Imperial Horse Supervisor case." It's about the poison that poisoned those three eunuchs! ”

Liu Xin was surprised: "Isn't that poison being investigated by the East Factory?" ”

Liu Licheng explained with a smile: "Dongchang can investigate, it doesn't mean that my Jinyiwei can't interfere, whoever finds the clues first in this case is who follows the investigation." ”

Then Cheng Guotao explained the poison and the situation of the Wudi City case library to Liu Xin, and Liu Xin also understood that the so-called task was to go to the case library to check the information according to the characteristics of the poison and the state of the three eunuchs after their deaths.

This job is both easy and difficult to do, and the good thing to do is that this job is easy, but listening to Cheng Guotao's meaning, this case is not something that ordinary people can enter, and it is Liu Licheng who used his identity as a disciple of Emperor Wu City to ask for such a place.

In other words, Liu Xin could only enter the case library with so many rumored cheats as many as Hanhai. Really looking for it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The reason why it is not easy to do it is precisely because of this, he alone does not know when to find it, as for why he let him go.

Hehe, Liu Xin is just a hairy boy, a novice brocade guard, some inquiries, and exploration skills are of course far inferior to veterans like Cheng Guotao. So this is the most difficult job to do, and it became Liu Xin.

Liu Xin couldn't refuse, because this task was justified and well-founded, and it was personally arranged by his boss Liu Licheng, and if he disobeyed, the other party could directly dismiss him according to the crime of disrespecting his orders.

Looking at Liu Xin's departing figure, Liu Licheng and Cheng Guotao glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.

"What happened to Yuan Dongxiang?" Liu Licheng asked.

Cheng Guotao replied with a smile: "Yuan Qianhu was very surprised when he heard this, and said that he believed us once, but if he missed the major matter of investigating the case, he would definitely report it to Governor Mi." ”

Liu Licheng nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, when the time comes, it will be a trivial matter to take advantage of the power of Governor Mi to drive this Liu Xin away." ”

After a pause, Liu Licheng glanced at the seven corpses on the ground, and there was solemnity in his eyes: "Dispose of these corpses." Then ask for clues from the group of women as soon as possible. What we lack most now is time, and we must be fast. Dongchang just borrowed Liu Xin's hand to delay the time, but it won't be too long, Yuan Dongxiang is not stupid! ”

"Why can Liu Xin delay the time of the East Factory?" Gong Kexin on the side asked puzzled.

Liu Licheng looked unwilling to deal with this martial idiot, turned around and strode away.

Cheng Guotao looked at Gong Kexin, who aimed his puzzled face at him, and said quietly: "Old Palace..."

Gong Kexin was furious and angrily interrupted Cheng Guotao: "You old bastard, tease me!" ”

Cheng Guotao waved his hand again and again: "Mistakes, mistakes... Old... Ahem... Let's put it this way, Liu Xin went to the case to check the clues of the poison. Dongchang will definitely find a way to cut off the beard, so the eldest brother asked us to inform Nayuan Dongxiang. Just said that the clue of this poison, Jin Yiwei didn't want it, and gave it to him in vain, so that they wouldn't have to cut off their beards and trouble. But in exchange he had to tell us a little bit about the progress of their investigation. Now, Yuan Dongxiang sent someone to hand over the clues found in Dongchang to us early in the morning, and the eldest brother is now going to see the clues. ”

"What do you mean?" Gong Kexin still didn't understand.

Cheng Guotao looked at Gong Kexin a little helplessly and said, "Why haven't you figured it out yet." We have formed an exchange of interests with the East Factory, as long as the East Factory finds out the clues of the poison, no matter how well the case is investigated afterwards, at least it will be useless. That's why they're willing to trade the clues they have now for poison clues. But if they know that Liu Xin has not found any clues about the poison, what do you say will happen to the Dongchang side? ”

"Trouble with us!" Gong Kexin finally got smarter.

Cheng Guotao smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, since we are looking for trouble, then we should launch a scapegoat, that is, this Liu Xin." We were under pressure from the East Factory, so we had no choice but to send Liu Xin out to prevent the disaster, and the others in Jinyiwei couldn't find our handle. At that time, the eldest brother can dismiss Liu Xin as a matter of course, and the right to make amends to Dongchang is to make amends. ”

"I see!" Gong Kexin nodded repeatedly, then turned to leave, nodding as he went.

Cheng Guotao looked at Gong Kexin's back, and he couldn't be sure for a while, whether the old palace understood or didn't understand...

Ahh Gong Kexin, this guy, why do you want to have the surname Gong!

...

On the other side, Liu Xin got into a carriage and went to the Wudi City Case Warehouse located on the west side of the Taiye Pool.

It was originally a royal scripture library, and later because Emperor Wu City offered the copied martial arts cheats, Emperor Xuyang ordered the expansion of the scripture library, and built a more magnificent Emperor Wu City case library on its side.

I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of volumes of martial arts cheats hidden inside, and any martial arts force can quickly rise in a short period of time if they get this case library.

The strength of a warrior comes from three aspects, internal force, exercises, and weapons and equipment.

The case library can solve the two major aspects of internal force and exercises, and the better the cheats record, the more concise and efficient the internal force operation mode is. And a good exercise cheats can increase and enhance the fighting techniques and skills of the martial artist. With a little tempering, you can quickly increase your combat power.

Therefore, after the construction of this case library was completed, and after the secret books were put into the library, countless people tried their best to enter. Some of them are crooked, but unfortunately there are all the organs in the case library, and there are forbidden army guards, and they are in the inner city, so it is almost impossible to break in.

The other way is official.

At the beginning, the authority to enter the case library was still relatively relaxed, and officials above the third grade could basically enter, but later, some of the contents of the book collection in the case library began to circulate in the black market, and the emperor was furious, because this must be a traitor.

If these people enter the case library and write it silently after they come out, it is almost impossible to catch the slightest hint of this kind of person.

From that point on, access to the treasury became extremely difficult, requiring the personal approval of His Majesty the Emperor, who later delegated this authority to three institutions: the Cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the City of Emperor Wu.

And Liu Licheng is the way to take Emperor Wu City.

However, in half an hour, Liu Xin walked around the imperial city for half a circle before he came to the Wudi City Case Library.

With the token given by Liu Licheng, after some inspection, Liu Xin successfully entered the case library.

The so-called case library is actually a magnificent palace, except that this palace is similar to a pagoda and has three floors. All he could go to was the first floor.

In other words, the second and third layers must be hiding more precious things, but Liu Xin can't go up.

There is a forbidden army guarding outside the case library, and there are arrow towers and corner towers around it, and there are even red-coated cannons and eight-bull crossbows on the corner tower!

Such a peripheral defense cannot be broken through without dozens of Dacheng Realm martial artists, or tens of thousands of cavalry, or tens of thousands of elite soldiers, otherwise they will not want to enter the case library in a short time.

There are not so many people guarding the case library, only a few eunuchs, who should all be His Majesty's henchmen.

The warehouse is full of criss-crossing narrow wooden corridors, and I don't know how many wooden doors have been installed on both sides of the corridor, and all the wooden doors are locked and sealed with iron sheets. All the wooden doors are engraved with numbers.

And those eunuchs will look for the corresponding wooden door according to the voucher Liu Xin took and the number written on it. Behind the wooden door is a collection of books belonging to the various categories.

Liu Xin estimated that Emperor Wu City had scavenged so many cheats at the beginning, and it was estimated that it would consume a lot of labor just to sort them out. It's also possible that these people watch the contents of the cheats and don't know what will happen to these people in the end.

Martial Emperor City, as the right path, shouldn't do anything to them.

Liu Xin was thinking like this, only to hear a shrill voice say, "My lord, this is it!" ”

Liu Xin stopped and saw that the eunuch had opened the wooden door, and Liu Xin stepped into it and was shocked!

Behind the wooden door was a small room, but there were five or six bookshelves, each two feet high, and the shelves were divided into small compartments, each containing a book, or a volume.

Are these all cheats about poison?

Liu Xin was stunned on the spot!

...

In a small courtyard somewhere in Chongbeifang in the outer city, more than a dozen figures were crowded into a small inner room.

A dozen people stood facing one direction, and in that direction there were two chairs, and two men with almost identical faces sat separately.

One of them said, "We are gathered here today, and the Lord's family has paid a lot of money, but on the other hand, the task is also dangerous, and I need to confirm one thing before I start talking about it!" ”

The man paused, and the man beside him, who looked exactly like him, threw a bag on the ground in front of them, and the bag did not pierce the mouth, and many golden things rolled out of it.

The man continued: "Here is a deposit, ten taels of gold per person!" After the deed is done, there will be another twenty taels per person! ”

When the man finished speaking, the man who had just thrown the gold immediately said, "Let me ask again, has anyone quit this mission ahead of schedule!" ”

The crowd was silent for a long time.

The two people in the chair looked at each other and smiled, and then said in unison:

"Good! Since there is no objection, then listen carefully to the details of the task! ”

"Good! Since there is no objection, then listen carefully to the details of the task! ”

The two did not string words in advance, but whether it was the content, intonation, or rhythm, they were exactly the same.

But the dozen or so people opposite them didn't show the slightest surprise on their faces, and when they looked at them head-on, they were all full of negative aura such as evil, barbarism, and bloodthirstiness.

This is a group of demonic warriors!

In the imperial capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a group of demonic warriors were hidden, which was even more incredible than the appearance of the Northern Barbarians in the imperial capital.

Most of the people of the Demon Dao have a negative temperament, because of long-term depression and inner perversion, these people have higher combat power and more danger factors among martial artists of the same level.

The twins quickly finished the details of the task in unison, and the dozen or so people left the small courtyard in their own different ways.

After everyone left, the twins walked to the door hand and foot, the two were close in stature, but there was still a slight deviation, one of them was a little shorter, and his right foot was a little lame, which was due to an injury, which injured his ankle and left sequelae, because of this injury, he unconsciously deviated to one side, which led to being a few points shorter than the other.

"Luo Ju's injury...", said on the left.

"If you don't use medicine, you'll die," the right continued.

"In that case," continued on the left.

"Give him a good time," the right continued.

The words of the two of them one after another, although they are not very coherent, but if they don't look at the picture and only listen to the sound, they will only feel that it is a person muttering to himself.

And the Luo Ju in their mouths is the killer who was injured by Wu.

"Wu Hao handed over to the Demon Dao gang...", he was silent for a while, and then suddenly said on the left.

"Cheng Guotao also went, I'll kill it..."

"I'll hide it first, beware of Liu Licheng, he is Dacheng Realm, it's not easy to deal with..."

"But it's okay, you and I join forces...", after saying on the right, there was a slight pause.

Immediately, the two looked at each other, showed almost the same smile, and said in unison:

"Enough to deal with him!"

"Enough to deal with him!"
