Compared with Chen Gang, who had a hot temper, Zhao Gui burst out with greater courage at this moment, and rushed forward with a small dagger.

The next moment he was kicked down, and before Chen Gang could help him get up, he immediately got up, and then rushed towards the guards again.

Then he was knocked down again, and then he got up again and was knocked down again.

By this time, Zhao Gui had been seriously injured, his internal organs were displaced, and several ribs were broken.

Throughout the whole process, Chen Gang was on guard and watched, at this time he was completely suppressed by Zhao Gui, and at the last moment of his life, he reacquainted himself with this brother.

I'm not as good as him...... Chen Gang sighed in his heart.

But at this moment, Chen Gang suffered a heavy blow to the back of his neck, and then inevitably fainted.

Seeing that Chen Gang was controlled, Zhao Gui's eyes were splitting and he shouted, "Brother! ”

Immediately, he carried a knife and rushed towards Chen Gang, but he did not want to save people, but to kill Chen Gang, in case he was captured alive and could not withstand the torture.

When his dagger was still two feet away from Chen Gang, a steel knife was inserted into his chest.

Under the severe pain, Zhao Gui actually brought a smile on his face, because he felt that he was finally relieved and could leave this sinister world to reunite with his family.

Zhang Lin hurriedly walked down the steps, looked at Zhao Gui who was bleeding on the ground, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Didn't you say that you should stay alive!" ”

The guard who killed the man was very embarrassed, but Zhang Lin didn't pursue it too much, after all, controlling the scene was the most important thing.

Anyway, there was still a living mouth, which made Zhang Lin breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned around and walked towards Yin'anmen.

The bloody wound on his body, if he didn't show it to Zhu Jinghong, it would be a great loss in Zhang Lin's opinion.

"Lord Wang, the prisoner has been taken!"

Zhu Jinghong was still surrounded by eunuchs, and after his gaze swept to Zhang Lin, he said, "Are you sure you have taken them all?" ”

Of course, Zhang Lin didn't dare to guarantee that there were no other thieves in the mansion, but he tended to have none.

Looking at the blood stains on Zhang Lin's armor, Zhu Jinghong then asked, "Is the injury serious?" ”

"Don't worry, you can't die!" Zhang Lin replied heartily, and even squeezed out a smile.

Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "You go to the doctor first and bandage the wound...... Go now! ”

"How dare a minister leave ...... without permission?"

"Hurry up!" Zhu Jinghong frowned.

At this point, Zhang Lin couldn't shirk it anymore, so he turned around and went to the doctor, too much blood would indeed be life-threatening.

After a while, the guards of the Beijing camp and the soldiers and horses of the Yanshan Dusi all entered the palace and searched all corners, and finally determined that there were no thieves in the palace.

At this time, outside Yin'anmen, in addition to Zhao Gui, who was lying dead on the ground, there was also Chen Gang, who was tied up by five flowers.

Chen Gang wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but in the end he still didn't have the courage, looking at Zhao Gui's corpse not far away, he was very ashamed at this time.

Chen Gang has always thought that he is an iron-clad man, but now he really sees that he is a greedy man who is afraid of death.

In addition to the guards and assassins, He Wu of the Bannerman Guard and Zhang Baodong, the general of the Beijing camp, were also there, but their expressions were extremely solemn.

They are responsible for the perimeter protection, and now there are thieves who have brought gunpowder and firearms into the palace, and they are undoubtedly guilty of negligence.

Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong himself was not injured, otherwise they could only apologize with death.

Just as they were rejoicing, Zhu Jinghong, surrounded by the soldiers of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, slowly walked out of the Yin'an Gate.

Seeing him appear, He Wu and Zhang Baodong hurriedly knelt down, and at the same time pleaded guilty: "Lord, the ministers are negligent in their duties and negligence, and the crime of death is ten thousand deaths!" ”

Of course, Zhu Jinghong was dissatisfied with He Wu and Zhang Baodong, after all, because of the dereliction of duty of these two goods, he almost lost his life.

How many times have I been assassinated? Zhu Jinghong had this question in his heart.

Some dusty memories surfaced in his mind, and once again he understood a truth...... The son of a daughter can't sit down.

Could it be that like an old man, staying in the palace all the time, it is better to live than to die...... Zhu Jinghong secretly complained to himself.

"Now that the matter is clear, it's not too late to ask for the guilt, whoever is responsible will be punished!"

Hearing Zhu Jinghong say this, He Wu and the others became more and more worried, and this feeling of uncertain future made people crazy.

Looking past He Wu and the others, Zhu Jinghong glanced at the dead Zhao Gui, and then his gaze fell on Chen Gang.

"Wake him up!"

After Zhu Jinghong gave the order, the guards quickly got a bucket of water and poured it on Chen Gang's head.

Under the feeling of coolness, Chen Gang immediately came to his senses, and then saw Zhu Jinghong a few steps away.

Although Zhu Jinghong was wearing civilian clothes, Chen Gang still recognized him at a glance, just because his temperament was different.

"Who sent you?" Zhu Jinghong asked.

Chen Gang didn't speak, and the guards next to him were not idle, so they stepped forward and gave him two slaps, breaking his front teeth.

"Talk back!" The hands-on guard scolded.

At this time, everyone's attention was on Chen Gang's side, and Miaoyu also inadvertently came out of Yin'anmen, and she had already set her sights on the dead Zhao Gui.

"I, Zhu Jinghong, have always been true to my word, as long as you know what you know, I can spare your life...... Never break your word! ”

Zhu Jinghong is now famous all over the world, and his guarantee is very weighty.

At least Chen Gang also believed at this time that he really had any hope of survival.

As a loyal White Lotus Sect, Chen Gang should have refused directly at this time, but he didn't say a word with a surging in his throat.

The more it comes to the moment of life and death, the more it tests people's will, and Chen Gang's hesitation has shown that his will is not strong.

This is difficult for Chen Gang himself to accept, he has always felt that he is an iron man.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong continued: "In addition to life, I can give you anything else you want...... As long as you tell the truth! ”

"I just hate that I can't kill this dog thief!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Gang actually regretted it, because he cut off his life because of impulse.

The next moment, Chen Gang's body was hit hard again, and the guards behind him slammed his back with scabbards.

The pain was severe, the pain was in the bone marrow, and Chen Gang couldn't help but scream.

"Lord Wang, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Ning Wanfu asks to see you!"

Hearing the announcement, Zhu Jinghong said: "He came in time, let him in!" ”

"Yes!"

While waiting for Ning Wanfu, Chen Gang was still being punished, but Zhu Jinghong noticed Miaoyu.

"Master Miaoyu, you are ......"

At this time, Miaoyu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, reciting scriptures in front of Zhao Gui.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong asking, Miaoyu replied: "Super undead!" ”

Hearing Miaoyu's answer, everyone present admired her courage and dared to overdo it in front of the prince as a thief.

Although Miaoyu is veiled, she only looks at her graceful figure, and stays in Yin'an Hall at night...... The crowd understood why.

"These thieves should also be exceeded!" Zhu Jinghong's tone was a little unkind.

This girl is too bold, isn't she afraid of revealing her identity? Zhu Jinghong said secretly.

Miaoyu replied, "Whether good or evil, they are all sentient beings!" ”

said so, but Miaoyu got up with interest and didn't recite a word more for Zhao Gui, after all, her purpose had been achieved.

But in order to complete the trick, Miaoyu looked at the corpses of the two eunuchs not far away, and said: "If the prince allows it, the poor nun still wants to overdo it for the two ministers!" ”

The two little eunuchs, in the final analysis, also died because of Zhu Jinghong, how could she not allow it at this moment.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to be led by Miaoyu, so he simply didn't say a word.

After saluting Zhu Jinghong, Miaoyu went to the little eunuch by herself.

There was no need to stay here, so Zhu Jinghong turned around and walked towards Yin'anmen, and said at the same time: "Let Ning Wanfu come in to see me!" ”

It's very simple to find out about this matter, for example, if you take Miaoyu directly, everything will naturally be clear under torture.

The problem is that he can't do this, after all, Miaoyu is involved in the struggle between the sixth and fourth children, and it is better for Zhu Jinghong to keep it than to take it.

After all, although it is important to catch the White Lotus Sect, it is not as good as the two of them who are tilting against each other, and the benefits brought to Zhu Jinghong are greater.

When Zhu Jinghong sat upright in the hall, Ning Wanfu came to the hall.

"The ministers are clothed and guarded, and Ning Wanfu is blessed, knock on the prince!"

After motioning for Ning Wanfu to get up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What clues did you find over there?" ”

Zhu Jinghong, who I saw during the day, has only been half a day now, and there has been basically no progress on Ning Wanfu's side.

So when Zhu Jinghong asked about it, Ning Wanfu thought he was asking for guilt, so he knelt down again.

"The minister was incompetent and failed to capture the thief in time, causing the prince to be in danger...... Capital crime! ”

"Okay, don't talk about it at this time, this time the guards caught it alive, I can't believe the others...... Leave it to you for interrogation, don't let me down! ”

At this moment, Ning Wanfu was not only happy with Zhu Jinghong's trust, but also worried that he would not be able to complete the task well.

But no matter what, he will go all out in this matter and give his middle-aged self another time.

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"Retire!"

After Ning Wanfu left, Nuo Min and Zhen Qin came over and asked him if he was injured.

Just now, Nuo Min was confined to the room, and she didn't go out as carelessly as Miaoyu, and she didn't know much about the situation outside.

So much so that at this moment, Zhu Jinghong still had to appease the two women, so he didn't leave the Yin'an Palace later, but just asked people to send a message to the guards to return to their places.

Let's say that Ning Wanfu went out of Yin'anmen, first communicated with He Wu and other guards, and then ordered his subordinates to take away the prisoners and physical evidence, including the bodies of the two murdered eunuchs.

Then Zhu Jinghong's order came, and the palace guards returned to their positions.

Jin Yiwei left a group of people, but only half an hour later, another group of people were sent to understand the process and details of dealing with this moment at night.

This night, the Yanshan Thousand Households were very busy, especially the people who tortured Chen Gang.

In the end, Chen Gang didn't bear it, explained the process of his murder, and confessed Yang Yan for meritorious service.

So Ning Wanfu immediately ordered someone to arrest him, but he didn't know that Yang Yan was extremely cunning, and he transferred Xiangtang after the operation began.

Only less than two hours later, the people below reported that the building had been emptied, which made Ning Wanfu disappointed, and he became impatient for a while.

At this time, he was pacing back and forth in the lobby, just as a hundred households came from outside.

"Lord Qianhu, this is the testimony of the palace guards, you ......"

Even Chen Gang couldn't find any useful clues, and Ning Wanfu didn't think that the testimony of the palace guards could be useful, so he didn't have the heart to check it at all.

What's more, the testimony is a thick stack, and he Ning Wanfu can't see it at all.

"You go down and analyze it carefully to see if you can find clues!" Ning Wanfu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

So these hundred households came out of the hall and happened to meet a general banner, who was responsible for interrogating Chen Gang.

"Mr. Wang!"

"Meet Lord Hyakhu!"

"These are the testimonies of the palace guards, you take them and take a closer look...... If you find anything, report it to me! ”

"Yes!" Wang Zongqi took over the task.

He already knew that the progress of the case was blocked, so he hoped that he could find a breakthrough so that he could take the step of advancement.

Besides, in the lobby of the Thousand Households, Ning Wanfu was so angry that he threw his notebook, and once again strictly ordered the interrogators to torture Chen Gang and force him to tell the real clues.

But sometimes, happiness always falls from the sky.

When Ning Wanfu was anxious, a general banner ran in quickly, and the joy between his expressions was simply overflowing.

"Senhe-sama, there's a clue......

The matter of adjudicating the case was handed over to his most trusted subordinates, and he came to tell him that this person was not his confidant.

This person said that there were clues, and Ning Wanfu's first reaction was that it might be about other cases.

"What?"

Ning Wanfu still reported his hope after all, otherwise this person was not his confidant, and he would be scolded by him first.

"Lord Qiqi Qianhu, the case of the White Lotus Sect's assassination has made a major discovery!"

Hearing this, Ning Wanfu almost thought that he had misheard.

But in the next moment, Ning Wanfu stood up and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"An inquest into the body of the thief found a note in his left boot!"

Zhao Gui is careful and thoughtful, of course he will not leave such a big flaw, the note is actually left by Miaoyu, that is, when the qi "practice is excessive".

As he spoke, the general flag handed the note to Ning Wanfu, who hurriedly opened it and looked at it.

On it is a fly's head, there are six or seven crosses, and the first word of each line is circled on it, showing that this is a hidden letter.

"Wanping Chenjiazhuang, you can come to hide if it is done!" Ning Wanfu muttered in a low voice.

"Chenjiazhuang ......"

At this time, the general banner of the newspaper replied: "My lord, the humble position has been checked, there is a Chenjia Village in Wanping, and there is a Chenjiazhuang in it!" ”

After reading the words on the note again and making sure that he was not dazzled, Ning Wanfu immediately shouted outside the door: "Order Zhang Chang and ask him to gather everyone under his command immediately!" ”

As for where to go after the assembly, out of secrecy, Ning Wanfu didn't say, anyway, just follow him all the way when the time comes.

At this time, Ning Wanfu's gaze at the person in front of him had changed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you have made a great contribution this time!" ”

"This is all due to the blessing of the lord, how dare you take credit for your humble position!"

Seeing that this person was so virtuous, Ning Wanfu continued: "Merit is merit...... This official has always had clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely reward you heavily! ”

After the polite words were finished, I heard this Xu Zongqi say: "Thank you, sir!" ”

The two chatted for a while, mainly because Mr. Xu was talking about recommending himself very measuredly.

The two of them talked for a while, and at this time, the outside manpower had been assembled, and finally Ning Wanfu personally led the team and rushed towards Wanping County on a fast horse.
