The matter of the Zhou family originally caused a lot of discussion in Beijing, but with Lu Chengen's message from the East Palace, the discussion on this matter instantly became much smaller.

Even those who want to use this as an excuse can't find a reasonable excuse.

The attitude shown by the East Palace basically confirmed the Zhou family's shielding of criminals.

If you insist on using this matter as an excuse, you are slapping the face of the East Palace, and you are clearly opposing the prince.

This consequence is obviously not worth the risk they take for the Zhou family.

However, because of this, many masked people hidden in the shadows have a sense of crisis.

The people of the Zhou family were discovered, so could it be them next?

Gyeonggi General Rudder, Dungeon.

Tongues of fire swayed, and a musty smell emanated from the damp dungeon.

Shen Du was dressed in a black robe, sitting on the Taishi chair, and in front of him, Zhou Lin knelt on the ground.

Xu Jin and Ke Jian stood behind them with indifferent expressions.

"Master Zhou, let's talk about it!"

"You should know that the punishment of Six Doors is not pleasant."

"Huh!" Zhou Lin sneered, looked up at Shen Du, and said coldly: "I was arrested by you, I admit it!" ”

"But if you want to know anything from me, you have to think too much."

Shen Du looked down at Zhou Lin, and pretended to be surprised and smiled: "I didn't expect the head of the Zhou family to be a hard bone. ”

"But you're probably waiting for someone behind you to come forward, right?"

"You probably won't be able to wait."

"An hour ago, all the young and strong men of your Zhou family were sent to the vegetable market to be beheaded."

Zhou Lin's face changed greatly, his complexion instantly turned red, and he roared angrily: "Shen Du, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!" ”

The terrible roar was especially piercing in this dungeon.

Shen Du's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "You are not my opponent even if you are alive, could it be that I am still afraid of a dead person." ”

"If you don't say it again, then the next time you send it to the vegetable market will be the women, children and children of your Zhou family."

The words are flat, as if to say something insignificant.

"You ......"

Zhou Lin's eyes were scarlet and covered with blood, and he stared at Shen Du through gritted teeth.

In Yanjing City, all the battles in the officialdom will retain a sense of decency for each other.

The most serious outcome is only exile or joining the border army.

Although the road is difficult, there is at least one way to live.

Because no one can guarantee that one day they will end up in the same fate.

So as long as it's not too deep hatred, there will always be a "decency" left.

It seems that Shen Du is doing this too ruthlessly!

Shen Du flicked his robe lightly, and said indifferently: "Since the head of the Zhou family is unwilling to say it, then the official is not reluctant." ”

"Let's go!"

Shen Du got up and planned to leave.

"Slow ......" Zhou Lin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "You must guarantee the safety of the rest of my Zhou family." ”

Shen Dutou sneered without replying: "Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with this official?" ”

"It's Wei Yuanbo......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shen Du sneered: "Tell me to go down and send the next batch of Zhou family members over." ”

Zhou Lin's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Shen Du, you don't talk about credibility......"

"I've told you about it."

Shen Du kicked it to the ground and sneered: "Until now, you still dare to lie!" ”

"Do you know that the Western Chu Five Poison God Sect has a kind of Gu, which can penetrate people's words and distinguish between truth and falsehood."

Zhou Lin completely changed color, and seeing that Shen Du was about to leave, he said in a low voice: "It's Pingyuan Marquis ......"

"Huh?" Shen Du's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Pingyuan Hou?

Dayan drove out the Northern Barbarians to establish an empire, and after that war, Dayan had four more princes and more than ten marquises.

As for this Marquis of Pingyuan, he had read the records in the Six Doors and was one of the supporters of the Four Princes.

Shen Du seemed to be smiling, none of these princes were really fuel-efficient lamps.

All of them are ruthless enough, and they are really unscrupulous for that position.

Even if the Zhou family is exposed, it is the three princes who are involved in the end.

Once the crime of killing a brother is carried on his back, it will be difficult to obtain the position of prince in the future.

First of all, the literati of the court and China would not agree.

I heard that the four princes often invited literati, but this heart was so ruthless.

This week, the family seems to be backed by Wei Yuanbo, and if something happens, everyone will naturally think of Wei Yuanbo, and then contact the third prince.

But if you dare to collude with Maitreya, you are not afraid of luring wolves into the house?

Today's Qi country, if it weren't for the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect doing things in secret, it wouldn't be like this.

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "Put him in prison." ”

"Shen Du, the people of my Zhou family are innocent, let them live......"

Zhou Lin was dragged away, but he kept shouting.

Shen Du ignored Zhou Lin's shouts, and thought about the next plan in his heart.

Ever since he had captured that group of Maitreya Sect members, he had already noticed that the Gu worms left in several places had disappeared.

These people have been able to fight in the rivers and lakes for so long, and there are naturally people who have the ability among them.

They may not have paid much attention to it before, but as soon as the Maitreya Sect came out, they became cautious.

So it wasn't surprising to him that these Gu worms were removed.

The corners of Shen Du's mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing a hint of a playful smile.

"Ke Jian, gather all the six gates you can mobilize, and go to the city gate to wait."

"This official is going to the headquarters!"

Shen Du turned around and left the dungeon and went straight to the Six Doors headquarters.

All the way to Choi Kyung-sang's residence.

Cui Jingsheng sat behind the table, heard footsteps, and didn't raise his head: "What you made this time is big enough." ”

"If it weren't for His Highness, this matter wouldn't have been so easy for you to solve."

Even so, the Goshitai folds will be piled up.

Shen Du bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I've seen adults!" ”

Cui Jingsheng put down his pen, looked up at Shen Du, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter." ”

Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace!

Shen Du smiled slightly and said, "Lord Mingjian, my subordinates have something to ask for." ”

"Please open the gates!"

"Huh?" Cui Jingsheng frowned and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Since the incident of the Ascending Heaven Banquet, Yanjing City has long been allowed to enter and not to leave, and the city gate is locked.

Opening the city gate at this time doesn't give those guys a chance?

Cui Jingsheng's expression suddenly moved slightly, he looked at Shen Du in surprise, guessed Shen Du's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that as soon as the city gate is opened, many rebels will escape?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Du nodded and said, "But this is the fastest way." ”

"Now that the Zhou family is out, those who are sheltered behind must also be worried, and will find a way to send them out of the city as soon as possible."

"And when the time comes, we can strengthen the investigation, some strange faces will be stopped, those people want to get out of the city, the safest way, except to blend into the caravan, is to sit in the carriage of the dignitaries in the city."

"When the time comes, they will be able to quibble, even if they want to."

Cui Jingsheng glanced at Shen Du, and said in his heart that this guy has a lot of ghost ideas.

This ploy is ruthless enough!

Will anyone take the bait? It will definitely be.

As long as it is done properly, those who are already nervous will try it even if they take risks.

Cui Jingsheng nodded and said, "I will report this matter to His Highness." ”

"But you still need to cooperate here!"

Shen Du knew in his heart, nodded and smiled: "I'll let you catch some city bastards to replace the traitors!" ”

All he needs to create is an atmosphere of rumor and noise that will make those who are hiding in the shadows unable to sit still.

With the lessons of the Zhou family, most people will choose to take the risk of sending people out of the city.

Because it is far more dangerous to stay in the city than to send them out of the city.

Shen Du arched his hand and said: "My lord, just in case, the lower official also wants to invite Lord Zhan to sit down." ”

He didn't dare to guarantee that there would be a hidden magic powerhouse among these people.

Regarding this matter, Cui Jingsheng did not refuse.

In the case of the Ascending Banquet, the six doors were already responsible.

He will not interfere in the internal affairs of the six gates of Gyeonggi, it depends on Shen Du himself, but he will never let go of these thieves who dare to disturb the banquet of ascending to the sky.

"Yes!"

"When the time comes, I will let the third sister go."

Shen Du put his mind at ease and arched his hand: "Thank you, sir." ”

Cui Jingsheng shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me, but there is one thing I need to tell you." ”

"The people who were transferred should be back soon, and they have almost received news from Jingzhong."

"And the four great gods, except for my eldest brother, the other two are not easy to match."

Although Cui Jingsheng didn't say it explicitly, Shen Du still heard the meaning of his words.

These two were clearly the opposites of them.

"Thank you, sir!"

Shen Du said and turned to leave.

……

Soon, the arrest of the six gates was carried out in the city, and the commotion was very large, and many people were arrested and put in prison, and the people were panicked.

Soon, news came that the east gate was opened.

However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit, and only those who have a pass are allowed to enter and exit.

This pass is not difficult to obtain, and you only need to verify your identity at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Office or Six Gates, but it is only valid for the day.

There are many more figures entering and exiting at the gate of Dongcheng.

At the gate of the city, the guards in charge of guarding the city constantly checked the people who entered and exited.

Above the gates,

Zhan Hongyan crossed her arms and looked down, and asked, "Is your method really feasible?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will see that this is a trap?"

Shen Du smiled lightly: "There are smart people in this world, but there are also many fools. ”

"What's more, the situation forced them to take a risk."

"Maybe keep the people, after ten days and half a month, the vigilance of the city gate will naturally be relaxed, and it will be safer at that time, but they don't dare to gamble."

"They don't dare to bet that they will be the first to be discovered by the people of the Six Doors, so they will definitely do their best to send people out of the city."

"Human nature is like this!"

Zhan Hongyan glanced sideways at Shen Du and shook her head, but she didn't say anything.

She hoped that Shen Du's plan was really feasible, but she was afraid that this matter would implicate many people.

At this time, on the street in front of the city gate, a huge caravan slowly approached.

The wagons of the caravan were loaded with goods, and around the wagons were men dressed as dart masters.

The gatekeeper looked forward with a cold face.

"Stop!"

"Pass!"

The steward of the caravan, a man who looked to be in his fifties, stepped forward respectfully with a smile on his face, and took out the pass issued by the six gates, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, and the Donggong Palace.

Then he took out a bag of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the bosom of the guard.

"Master Jun, be careful, not respectful."

"We belong to the Daping caravan, and we have absolutely nothing to do with those traitors."

"You see, there are so many of us, it's troublesome to investigate, so it's convenient."

The steward whispered again: "We are from the Mansion of Lord Pingyuan Marquis." ”

An intriguing smile flashed in the eyes of the general guarding the city, he checked his money bag, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go over!" ”

"Thank you, Master Jun!"

The steward of the caravan thanked him again and again, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The huge caravan slowly made its way out of the city gates.

The general defending the city waved his hand slightly, and the soldiers next to him closed the gate after the caravan passed.

The caravan steward secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect it to be much easier than he imagined.

They had already sent someone to check it, saying that the inspection near the city gate was not too strict.

Suddenly, the caravan came to a halt.

The steward of the caravan shouted angrily: "What are you doing stop, don't leave quickly!" ”

If you stay, if you are discovered, it will be a big trouble.

As he spoke, he looked up and looked ahead, and his face instantly darkened, sometimes green and sometimes white.

In front of the city gate, a column of six gates armed with bows and crossbows, ready to go, stared at everyone with a solemn face.

The long knife hanging from one side shimmered with an icy sheen, and the field was filled with a killing aura.

"Six doors!"

The steward instantly felt a chill behind him, and he felt cold all over his body.
