When the Qin brothers rushed to the small courtyard, they saw a man in a colorful striped uniform standing in the courtyard, and the flying dog had fallen to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The boss of the Qin family looked deeply at the colored figure covering his face, and a different color flashed in his eyes, this person... So fancy!

"Who are you to do our business? If you are a fellow traveler, please give it a convenience! "The boss of the Qin family thinks that someone who is dressed so fancy, it shouldn't be Jinyiwei.

Liu Xin looked up and saw that the boss of the Qin family was holding two spears, and his first reaction was that this person was not a little minion.

It is relatively rare in martial arts to be able to use a short spear as a weapon, because the short spear needs strong strength support, otherwise the short spear is neither as powerful as a long weapon that is an inch long and an inch strong, nor as flexible as a dagger, short sword, and short knife.

This is a weapon that requires great talent.

For opponents who hold short spears, especially those who hold a short spear in each hand, Liu Xin gives the other party enough respect.

Enough respect is that Liu Xin took the lead in attacking!

Because he wanted to hide his identity, he didn't bring the treasure knife of Jinyiwei, but fortunately, the person who had just attacked had a dagger, and he picked up the dagger with his toes, and Liu Xin had already rushed out before the dagger fell, and his arm was raised back just to catch the dagger, and at the same time, it was also the moment when the burly man's words had just fallen.

The boss of the Qin family didn't expect that the other party would do it directly without saying a word, so he hurriedly fought back, stabbing with a short spear, and the speed was extremely fast. Seeing this, Liu Xin really had some ability, and then with the advantage of his body technique, he directly avoided a wide range of short spear stabbing areas, and came to the side of this man, but Liu Xin was stunned at this time!

Because he saw something that made him very inexplicable and shocked physically and mentally.

He saw a man clinging to the other man's back, close to each other!

Back to the mountain!

A new, unheard of word appeared in Liu Xin's mind, but he instantly understood the meaning of the three words Beibeishan.

There was a huge chill in his heart, and the move in his hand was slow for a moment, but the short spear stabbed back, and the man who was sticking to him swept his gaze, roaring, and a black shadow fell from the sky.

Call!

At the critical moment, Liu Xin gathered his thoughts and quickly avoided it.

The long black shadow almost cleaved down against Liu Xin's body.

Liu Xin jumped three times and retreated far away, and at this moment, a girl's exclamation came from behind him.

You seem to be a little slow to react, sister!

Liu Xin muttered in his heart, and then saw the man behind the burly man take a step across and walked to the side, with a spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear still had red blood stains, which seemed to be new. What surprised Liu Xin the most was that the appearance of these two men was exactly the same.

"You're looking for death!"

"You're looking for death!"

The voices of the two were in unison, and it sounded like they were talking to one person, which showed that the tacit understanding between the two was abnormal!

Liu Xin made a quick judgment, and then saw that the two of them shot at the same time, approaching Liu Xin at the same time, but the person with the short spear leaned over slightly, and the spear was already drawing circles in the air, which was accumulating strength.

The guy who uses a long weapon just likes to carry a spear or spear to draw circles, which is called a spear flower to put it nicely, but it is actually accumulating power, and at the same time, it also rotates to make the gun unexpected.

Because considering that the two of them have a tacit understanding, and one plus one is far greater than the strength bonus of two, Liu Xin did not fight hard, but started a guerrilla attack and flashed to the side, but these two people who looked exactly the same chased after each other.

In addition to not wanting to fight hard, Liu Xin actually wanted to lure the two away, otherwise in this courtyard, if the other party broke the jar and broke it, it would be bad if they rushed to that room and killed them indiscriminately.

So Liu Xin was ethereal, and gradually left the courtyard with the two of them and came to the corridor on the side.

The space in the corridor is small, just enough to restrain the spear.

The twin sons of the back mountain also seemed to have noticed Liu Xin's plan, so the spear back mountain rushed straight to the side, one step ahead of Liu Xin in front of the corridor, and the double spear back mountain flanked Liu Xin one after the other.

Liu Xin saw that this was some distance from the room, so he smiled, and his body disappeared in place in an instant.

The twins looked at the back mountain in surprise, their eyes searched everywhere, and finally the spear back back mountain looked up and found Liu Xin, who was falling down with a jack drop.

"Thunder Drink!"

The spear was back to the mountain, only to feel a flash of thunder in front of him, and then the whole person fell into a feeling of numbness, and the arms that were about to raise the spear suddenly lost consciousness.

"Brother!"

The spear back mountain seemed to hear his brother's voice, but the tingling feeling became stronger and stronger, and the next moment, he lost consciousness!

The short spear back mountain looked sad, because the spear back mountain fell, just now he didn't even see Liu Xin's figure clearly, only felt a colorful blurred figure fall from the sky, and then the spear back mountain fell to the ground with a bang.

The twins of the Qin family are both martial artists in the late stage of the Xiaocheng Realm, and the two of them can even fight with the Dacheng Realm, but before they have used the strongest moves, one of them is already dead or dead.

Liu Xin landed on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his covered mouth, and then he said: "Are you still fighting, your time is running out!" ”

The short spear was stunned for a moment, and then realized what the other party meant by saying that there was not much time. Their operation this time must be over within a moment, otherwise the Jinyi Guards in broad daylight are not vegetarians, once they are caught by the tail, none of them can escape, this is the imperial capital!

The eyes of the short spearback mountain fell on the spear back mountain at Liu Xin's feet, and the next moment he was surprised, because Liu Xin actually gave way to the side, and pointed to the spear back mountain.

Liu Xin didn't speak, but the short spear back mountain seemed to understand what Liu Xin meant, so he hesitated to step forward and slowly helped the spear back mountain, in this process, Liu Xin did not stop the other party.

Finding that his younger brother was still alive, but he was in a coma, he breathed a sigh of relief when he carried his younger brother on his back, and before leaving, he turned around and looked at Liu Xindao: "You are also a person in the Demon Dao?" I remember the grace of not killing today! ”

Liu Xin didn't react, but turned around and left directly.

The short spear backs the mountain and glanced at Liu Xin deeply, and then left in a hurry, the time from a moment was almost up, and if he didn't leave, he couldn't leave.

The corridor was not far from the room, although the girl Xiaoli did not dare to go out of the door, and she could see the situation there from a distance on the edge of the door.

Seeing Liu Xin approaching, she couldn't help but want to retreat, but the countless doubts aroused in her heart made her stop. She mustered up her courage and said to Liu Xin who came over from afar:

"That's... Your veil... Oh no... That's off! The girl Xiaoli didn't know what to say about the thing that Liu Xin used to cover her face, saying that it was a veil, but it wasn't, how could she say that it was a veil for a big man.

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, his feet stopped, and then he touched his cheek, and the tied sleeves were really loosened, and he sighed, fortunately, there was no Jinyi guard nearby.

However, the girl seemed to have seen him, and Liu Xin covered her face again, frowning slightly. At this moment he was still twenty or thirty paces away from the girl, and this distance was ...... Well, if you're not blind, you should be able to see it clearly.

The girl Xiaoli had also discovered that Liu Xin was the young man who saved them a few days ago. Xiaoli was worried that this person let go of those bandits and wouldn't be another group of bad guys, but now she is relieved.

Xiaoli is also very smart, guessed the reason why Liu Xin covered her face, she glanced back at the aunts who were still shrunk behind the door, they shouldn't have seen it, so she took a few steps forward, causing the aunts behind her to exclaim, but she continued to walk forward regardless of it.

Liu Xin stood still and waited for the girl to come closer, and the girl said, "I... I'm not going to tell people who you are! ”

"Huh?" Liu Xin was surprised, but he reacted quickly, and he smiled bitterly, he didn't expect this girl to be so witty. He calculated the time, Jinyiwei's side should be about to react, and after the killers outside retreated, Wu Hao also came in.

At this time, he didn't know that Wu Hao was lying in the corner of the small courtyard, blood gurgling, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Good!" first responded to the girl, and then Liu Xin continued: "I have something I want to ask a few ladies, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

The girl looked puzzled.

Liu Xin suddenly thought of the move of letting go of the two killers just now, and in the eyes of such a smart girl, he probably became suspicious, so he explained: "I deliberately let go of the two killers just now, in order to find out the real murderer behind them. And the things I want to ask a few ladies are also about the real culprit, and... Things related to the few people in the Imperial City. ”

The slight doubts in the girl's eyes first dispersed suddenly, she didn't want to ask, because she trusted this brother, but she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart. But Liu Xin's words untied this knot, and the girl suddenly became happy.

However, when she heard Liu Xin's words, especially the last sentence, she suddenly froze in place, then turned around sharply and ran into the room, and then Liu Xin heard the girl's voice, followed by the exclamations of several women, and the room seemed to be noisy all of a sudden.

Liu Xin slowly stepped forward and stood at the door of the room, and everyone inside suddenly looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin saluted from afar, it is estimated that the girl did not tell her identity, and the eyes of those women looking at him were full of vigilance.

It must be a long story short, time is running out. Liu Xin made up his mind and was about to explain, but he heard a woman inside pretend to be calm and say:

"Xiaoli's words, we believe, she said you can help us contact the master...... That must be true! Xiaoli also said, you want to ask us some questions, you ask, we must know everything. ”

After the woman's words were finished, Liu Xin saw the expectant looks on the faces of the other women.

Liu Xin nodded, because there was not much time, he could only ask questions quickly, asked a few questions that he had thought about in advance, and after getting replies one by one, Liu Xin felt that he seemed to have found a key to the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

When Liu Xin's question ended, the woman hesitated and asked, "This matter... We... Does it have something to do with our husbands? ”

Liu Xin understood that this woman was talking about the eight people of the Imperial Horse Prison, judging from the previous exchanges and the clues so far, after the eight people of the Imperial Horse Sect entered the imperial city, it was equivalent to death, and for more than ten years, they had not had any contact with the outside world. These women, who do not know whether their husbands are alive or dead, are constantly living in uncertainty and pain.

Liu Xin thought about it, decided something, and said: "As far as I know, there are a total of eight people in the imperial city, who have been conducting secret research, and it is a major matter related to the fortune of Zhengyang and the country, so I can't contact the outside world, and I can't say much." But as far as I can tell, they should miss you a lot. ”

As soon as Liu Xin's words fell, the women inside began to cry, Liu Xin sighed and looked at the girl, because the other women were already immersed in emotions that did not know whether it was joy or sadness, only the girl's eyes were just confused.

It is estimated that she is too young to remember those people, Liu Xin thought so, and a vague, warm figure flashed in his mind. He is the same, the most important person, the appearance in his memory is also blurred little by little, and he is powerless to stop it.

"Brother!"

Interrupted by a crisp voice, Liu Xin came back to his senses and looked at the girl.

The girl Xiaoli looked at Liu Xin, with firmness and longing in her eyes: "Brother, can you take me as an apprentice?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Xin was stunned again, in front of this girl, he was a little surprised.

The girl's expression was still firm, and she repeated: "I want my brother to take me as an apprentice and teach me martial arts!" ”

Liu Xin looked at the girl, and then at the crying women in the room, and probably understood why the girl asked for this. He squatted down, in fact, the girl's height was not short, but for the tall Liu Xin, she was still short.

Parallel to the girl's gaze, Liu Xin said, "I will protect you, don't worry." ”

"No, I want to rely on myself to protect my aunts!" The girl interrupted Liu Xin's words and said firmly.

"Hmm..." Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I'll teach you, and when this matter is over, I'll come to you!" ”

"Good!" The girl didn't expect Liu Xin to agree, and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, it's time for me to go, remember, the conversation between us just now is a secret, don't let others know!"

The girl nodded vigorously.

Liu Xin waved his hand and left quickly, and at this time, Cheng Guotao had already arrived with people, and there were also people from the Thousand Households in Wainan City, and there were people outside. Not long after Liu Xin left, the courtyard was opened, and Cheng Guotao was the first to enter, and soon found Wu, who was seriously injured and dying.

Because of Wu's injury, Cheng Guotao did not ask the women and children for the first time, but the girl Xiaoli waited for the women to calm down and solemnly warned several aunts, deliberately concealing the communication between Liu Xin and them.

When Cheng Guotao finished his work with Wu and came back to ask, because it was only a rough inquiry, Cheng Guotao didn't find out, and everyone hid something.

And Liu Xin, who left the small courtyard, quickly found Senior Brother Cheng and asked Senior Brother Cheng to investigate a woman's clues.

"Si Yanqing? Who is this? ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "A key person, because of her, I seem to have found the suspect!" ”

"Suspect?" Senior Brother Cheng frowned: "What is a suspect?" ”

Liu Xin was stunned, first frowned, as if he had some doubts in his heart, and then he was relieved and explained: "It may be the one who is a prisoner." ”

"Suspect?" Senior Brother Cheng said.

Liu Xin nodded: "That's right!" ”

After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "Si Yanqing is a female disciple of the Imperial Horse Sect, and she is also the wife of one of the eight Imperial Horse Prison disciples who entered the Imperial City. When I was looking at the information in Dongchang, I seemed to see this person's name, and he was still alive! ”

Senior Brother Cheng seemed to have caught something, and then asked, "What is her suspicion?" ”

Liu Xin said: "When Si Yanqing was newly married to Yan'er, her husband was taken away and imprisoned in the imperial city. Just when the other women were waiting for their husbands to return, this Si Yanqing disappeared. And since she disappeared, the subsidies of the women and children of the Imperial Horse Sect have never reached their hands. I found some clues, because the emperor took a fancy to this group of people, he was very kind to their families, and each person received a monthly subsidy of fifty taels of silver, and eight people were four thousand eight hundred taels a year. After more than ten years, this number is terrifying! ”

Senior Brother Cheng was stunned, but the next moment he had doubts: "But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor." Now that the Northern Barbarians have also appeared, and the Demon Dao Warriors have also appeared, the identity of the person who can make the Demon Dao Warrior enter the imperial capital is not simple. A few small eunuchs, but there are more and more characters involved, and none of them are simple characters! ”

Liu Xin nodded solemnly and agreed: "It's true, but because of this, if I can solve this case, the benefits will definitely be not small!" ”

...

Dongchang, in charge of the punishment of thousands of households

Yuan Dongxiang is a middle-aged man with a tall posture, and he is very strict in all aspects such as dress, behavior, and speech. He was originally the commander of the border army, but later he was somehow favored by Mi Yusong, the governor of Dongchang, and was directly transferred to Dongchang to be in charge of thousands of households.

Although it is only a thousand households, the real power of officials of the same level in Dongchang is higher than that of other pro-army, and even Jinyiwei. Yuan Dongxiang's status can be compared to the command of Jinyiwei.

At this time, it was almost noon, Yuan Dongxiang put down the copywriting at hand and ended the morning's official business. He looked at the sky outside the duty room and called a Dongchang fanzi.

"What time is it?" Yuan Dongxiang looked at the sky outside and asked in a calm tone.

That son also understands Yuan Dongxiang's temperament, this Qianhu is not as arrogant and domineering as other military attaches in Dongchang, but rather quite peaceful. However, compared with his peaceful temperament, this Qianhu has extremely high requirements for the rigor of official duties. So he left in a hurry, and after confirming the correct time on the sundial, he hurried back and reported:

"Thousands of households, it's just past seven o'clock."

Yuan Dongxiang frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "You go out first, look at the hour, and come to call me as soon as it is noon!" ”

"Yes!" Fanzi departed respectfully, and then went straight to the sundial, where he was ready to stay, and he would come to report at noon.

Yuan Dongxiang gently tapped on the tabletop, and after a while, he stood up again, arranged the scrolls on the bookcase neatly, and then came to the bonsai in the duty room, picked up the neatly placed scissors on the side, pruned carefully, and then brushed the cut residues into a wooden box with a brush. Put the scissors back in place, hesitated for a moment, Yuan Dongxiang moved the scissors carefully, and saw that the scissors and the small shovel on the side were neatly organized, and then he let go of his slightly frowning eyebrows.

Take the wooden box to the flower bed outside the duty room, take out the residual branches by hand, and sprinkle them evenly in the mud of the flower bed.

After doing all this, I returned to the duty room and put the wooden box back in place, just in time for the return.

"Thousands of households, it's noon."

Yuan Dongxiang nodded, sat down slowly, glanced at the sunshine outside, and ordered in a calm tone: "Gather a team of soldiers and follow me to Jinyiwei." ”

Fanzi nodded, and his mouth should be.

"After hours, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Yuan Dongxiang muttered in a low voice.

Half an hour later, Yuan Dongxiang sat on a tall black horse, which was the war horse he brought back from the battlefield, and the relationship between them was that of the closest comrades-in-arms. The black horse's fur is jet black and shiny, and it looks very neat after being carefully groomed.

Yuan Dongxiang was followed by a group of soldiers, that is, more than 200 people.

A class in the East Factory is actually equivalent to a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and the number of people is also similar.

The mighty Dongchang Fanzi walked on the streets of the inner city, and the pedestrians all looked sideways to avoid it, compared with Jinyiwei, the people in the inner city were more afraid of Dongchang Fanzi.

The people of the outer city are the opposite, they are more afraid of the brocade guards.

Yuan Dongxiang's goal is very clear, when a large number of Dongchang fans came to the yamen of the Qianhu Office, Liu Licheng seemed to have received the news in advance, and he was already waiting at the door.

Yuan Dongxiang's eyes froze, he deliberately didn't let people come over to inform Liu Licheng, but he didn't expect Liu Licheng to know in advance. Did he bury the spies there in the East Factory? Yuan Dongxiang thought of this, and his eyes were completely cold.

But what he didn't know was that his character had long been understood by Liu Licheng, and even most of the people who had contact with him could quickly understand him, after all, he was too principled, too orderly, and too punctual.

Liu Licheng had long expected that as soon as noon came, Yuan Dongxiang would definitely not be able to sit still, and he would definitely come to the door in person to ask for the guilt.

"Lord Yuan, today I came to the Thousand Households in Inner East City, I am really shining here..."

"Don't talk about these useless things!" Yuan Dongxiang sat on horseback, his eyes were cold, he interrupted Liu Licheng mercilessly, and went straight to the point: "You sent someone to inform me yesterday, and asked me to use the information investigated by the Dongchang side to exchange the poison clues you found here, I have completed the transaction, but you have breached the contract, exceeding the agreed hour, now I will give you a chance, immediately hand over the poison clues, or follow me to see the Admiral!" ”

Liu Licheng actually didn't have much contact with Yuan Dongxiang, but he only knew the latter's temperament, but when he felt it in person, it was different from his imagination, but he couldn't describe this feeling for a while.

If Liu Xin is here, he will say to Liu Licheng that this feeling is called: The sense of experience is extremely poor!
