Qiu Yaoyao took it and inspected it repeatedly. This thing is shaped like a flat needle, also like a lancet, the center of gravity is in the middle, not a person who is old enough to control flight. It's about seven inches long, it's quite heavy, and it's made of pure steel when you get started.

Due to the fire, the knife edge has been a little deformed, and the appearance is inconspicuous, like a black charcoal.

She scraped the blade with her nails, and said with a tight eyebrow: "It's not wrong, the dragon-shaped tip of the Jizhou Sanba." ”

Where the nails are scraped, there are faint dragon scale lines that are difficult to distinguish.

"My lord, you mean that the three tyrants of Jizhou are spies, and they may know what we are going to investigate. She smiled coldly, snorted and said, "We have dispatched two or four hundred people, and it is difficult to keep the secret to the sky, I just want them to know, so that they can come out to cover up or do something else." ”

"Then let's go to Jizhou to find ......"

"You don't have to look for it. Her bright eyes sparkled, and she turned to Qin Huapeng and said, "Brother Qin, I said the guess in my heart, do you see it right." First, the newspaper of Qingzhou Mansion, about the affairs of Nanban, this part of the paper is a little different, it is a tribute paper that is one level worse. The paper is mixed with watermarks, it must be an imitation, and the fault is in a certain newspaper in Qingzhou Mansion. Second. Since they have copied the substitute, it can be seen that it must be in order to win the trust of the barbarians, so they do not exchange the work capital for the real Di Bao.

Third, the spy only needs to do tricks on the report sent to Qingzhou, and does not need to take risks in the capital. Now, just follow the route of the Tang Bao Fall to reconnoitre. When you can see how large and sophisticated their organization is. Their traitors in the capital are supernatural and vast!"

Qin Huapeng said cautiously: "Your adult's inference is not unreasonable, but I don't know what you plan to ......."

"I'm going to do it in two ways. First, lay eyeliner along the way, and each station installed a dark pile at the post station. The report is sent every five days, and you can get clues by keeping an eye on the messenger. Second, pay attention to suspicious people on the way out. Of course, it is impossible to gain from guarding the checkpoint, and the spy must be smuggled through the gap, and in this regard, the brother sent someone to write to the Luo's Shuangxiong and the Luofu Sanjie at the Xifeng Pass of Luofu Mountain, and the spy will definitely be able to block the way out. Now, we have to find out the mole in Kyoto. ”

"Jizhou Sanhea's ......"

"They're going to look for me. Qiu Yaoyao said quite confidently. He snorted and said, "I'll force them to come to me too." Let's go! Go back and dispatch men.

Outside the imperial capital Bei'anmen, there are two majestic buildings, that is, the bell tower and the drum tower, which belong to Jintaifang.

The drum tower was originally called Jintaifang Tower, the old name Qi Zheng, built in the old dynasty, with a delicate copper kettle dripping on it, it was the time in the Kyoto area

Tatsu standard.

The original bell tower is in the east, is the central pavilion of Wanning Temple, this dynasty built a bell tower on the north side of the drum tower, and it was built shortly after completion

It was destroyed by fire, so the central pavilion of Wanning Temple is still used as a bell tower.

The watchman of the bell tower is subject to the drum sound of the drum tower. And the Jingyang Bell in the Forbidden City,. That is, the clock tower is timed at the same time.

The street of the abandoned bell tower is the widest and straightest, the East Street reaches Andingmen, and the West Street connects with Deshengmen Street.

The streets of the Drum Tower are oblique because of the cross-flow of the Jade River, and the West Street of Lou, commonly known as the Diagonal Street, is the concentration of Getai Taverns. Near the Wanghu Pavilion, it is a good place for rich and noble people to play. This is the most prosperous place between the imperial city and the capital.

To the east of the drum tower is the seat of the government of Shuntianfu. Near the government office, there are two yamen, one literary and one martial, that is, the Tongwen Hall of the Ministry of Rites and the Beicheng Terracotta Division.

Compared with other places, this is the place with the fewest yamen.

This is the territory of Liu Bao, the mourning star.

Kyoto Sansha. The scope of activities extends from the east of Dong'anmen to the eastern suburbs of Balizhuang and Shuangqiao outside the city.

Since the Yamen of the Law Inspectorate is outside the Donghua Gate, the latent forces of the Black Inspectorate have actually withdrawn from the Chaoyang Gate, and often clash with the Law Inspectorate.

Liu Bao is the most sleek person, talking about people when he sees people, and talking about ghosts when he sees ghosts. But to the agents of the Attorney's Office, he behaved quite heroically, and the operators did not dare not buy him

Divide the account, but he didn't dare to rashly grudge with the headhunters, the small things were sloppy, and the big things were not ambiguous.

The third ghost is in the hands of Huang Wei, and his range of activities is from Fuchengmen to Xishan, and he is the head of the ruffians, and he is also out-and-out black

A good man, but unfortunately he is as timid as a mouse, and his courage is not enough, like a wandering ghost who does not see the light of day, and he rarely comes forward to deal with the officials of the government and yamen.

As a rising star of the Attorney General, Qiu Yaoyao gets along happily with friends in the imperial capital and has always had a friendly relationship with Sansha. he

They are also in contact with the Attorney's Chamberlain's headhunters.

The victorious restaurant on the side of the Wanghu Building is deserted without a brand. Guys are lazy and don't have energy, seize the opportunity to recuperate,

In order to welcome the drinkers who came after the application of the card.

On the second floor, near a table near the window, sat six guests in brocade clothes, the leader was about forty years old, medium in stature, with a pair of gloomy eyes, cold eyes, deflated mouth, rat whiskers, and a turmeric face like a serious illness had just recovered.

If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were different, no one would have believed that such a patient who was not outstanding and did not look amazing,

It will be the famous mourning star Liu Bao. The other five minions are all tall horses, strong men who can stand on their fists and run horses on their arms. Although their robes were gorgeous, they could not hide the violent looks that naturally flowed out.

The six of them were already five or six minutes drunk, and there were no shopkeepers or drinkers upstairs, and they enjoyed themselves while drinking.

Talking in a low voice, as if discussing something important.

The dining hall is spacious, and the two sides are divided into six-seat private rooms. In advance, the funeral star has already explained to the shopkeeper that the drinkers are not allowed to go upstairs, and the shopkeeper is not allowed to go upstairs to serve without being recruited. The words of the mourning star were able to make the proprietor of the victory restaurant fart and pee, how dare the shopkeepers disobey.

In a dining room on the east side, suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and a petite man in Tsing Yi slowly walked out, suddenly appearing in the building like a ghost phantom. Seeing the figure appear out of the corner of his eye, the funeral star suddenly changed color, suddenly looked slack, and left his seat with a smile: "Hey! It turned out to be Lord Qiu, come, drink two glasses." ”

Qiu Yaoyao approached with a smile and found that the eyes of the other five were not friendly.

She smiled faintly, dragged a bench, sat down and said, "Excuse me, Brother Liu." Hey! Ling Lang seems to be angry, is there any trouble? ”

Liu Zheng, a fierce young man on the left, is the only son of Liu Bao, a dead star, nicknamed Flying Leopard, and he is a ruthless and ruthless person.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and sneered, "Lord Qiu, do you want to take care of our family affairs?"

Qiu Yaoyao didn't think it was wrong, and said calmly: "Liu Zheng, don't you think that your words are a bit unreasonable?"

The mourning star sank his face and said to Liu Zheng: "Son, is it okay for you to say a few words? It's so unruly, do you want to be disrespectful?" Qiu Yaoyao was full of flavor and said with a proud smile: "Brother Liu, don't blame Ling Lang."

Kyoto. Linglang's most unpleasant person is me, Qiu Yaoyao, and I won't bother with him. In fact, in the next year, he is on par with Ling Lang, and he is not disrespectful. You say yes

What?"

The Mourning Star personally took a cup for him, poured a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "That's not what I said, you and I have always been brother and sister, he is considered a junior, and it stands to reason that he is not worthy of being an equal to Lord Qiu here!

"Hehe! If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, there is indeed something to ask Brother Liu for a lot of help. ”

"Lord Qiu, you say it! Don't say one thing, ten pieces and a hundred pieces, in the water and fire, as long as the brother can do it, he will never refuse. Let's talk about it, our own brothers, we don't have to beat around the bush and get straight to the point. Dry and crisp. How nice?" said the mourning star.

"Thank you in advance. Qiu Yaoyao smiled slightly, hugged her fists and said. The probe took out the burnt dragon-shaped needle from the sac, handed it over, and said:

"Brother Liu has many brothers under him, and they have a lot of friendship with the three tyrants of Jizhou, please return this dragon-shaped needle, and ask Brother Liu to send a message to them, asking them to come to me to settle a public case. Liu Zheng snorted heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think we are messengers?" Lord Qiu, let me tell you clearly, among our brothers, no one knows the three tyrants of Jizhou, why don't you send someone there?"

Qiu Yaoyao's eyebrows jumped, and she sneered: "Business is not benevolent, why is your brother so angry?" She snatched back the dragon-shaped needle with one hand, and left her seat and said, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, take my leave!"

"No one dares to keep you, Lord Qiu, hmph! I think you came here with the intention of targeting us. Liu Zheng said loudly.

Qiu Yaoyao's gaze swept over the face of the mourning star, and she had already seen that the mourning star had no intention of blaming her son, so she couldn't help but get angry and asked

said, "Brother Liu, isn't Ling Lang's attitude too arrogant?"

"Lord Qiu, young man, please don't be surprised...... "Mourning Star said gently.

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zheng said: "Lord Qiu, you are an official and we are the people, you are not welcome here, if you don't leave, I can drive you out in the next ......"

"Smack!" There was a loud bang, Qiu Yaoyao slapped Liu Zheng with her backhand, and said, "Brother Liu, discipline your son well, otherwise you will ......" Liu Zheng was slapped in the face, was knocked back two steps, almost fell down, couldn't help but get angry, roared, and kicked out with a slam leg.

Qiu Yaoyao's figure turned, "Poof!", and a palm slammed on Liu Zheng's right leg, Liu Zheng screamed and fell to the sky.

At the same moment, the two big men went up left and right, attacking with fists and feet, up and down.

Qiu Yaoyao turned into a violent wind, two feet away, turned her head and sneered: "If it is not bad as expected, the three tyrants of Jizhou have not gone far, who dares to protect the people I Qiu Yaoyao is eyeing? Are you dead? or the person behind you? Hehe goodbye." "The security of the capital is not as good as a year after year.

Nominally, in addition to the Nine Gate Admiralty Division and the Law Inspectorate Division, there are three battalions of officers and soldiers who are available, plus the personnel of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, a total of 11,000 officers and soldiers are available.

However, the officers and soldiers have become the domestic slaves of those civil and military officials, and the practice of eating empty quotas is extremely popular

Good.

Even when the cavalry of the patrol battalion was dispatched, five or six out of ten were temporarily looking for someone to put on military uniforms to replenish the number.

Therefore, it is the good people who really suffer, and even a mouse generation is at ease and fearless.

The severity of this is evident from the fact that there are often thieves committing crimes in the Forbidden City

How terrible

The sniper case of the East Palace, which was once one of the three major cases. It was the eunuchs who found a splash to enter the palace and attempted to murder the eldest prince Yuan Shimin, which once caused a lot of uproar.

At that time, it was not surprising that idlers entered and exited the imperial city and broke into the palace forbidden.

As long as the government can delay the handling of the case for five days, the case file will be put on the shelf and no longer interrogated, and it will be useless for the bitter master to pursue it.

Qiu Yaoyao and the mourning star broke up unhappily, and when she returned to her residence, she immediately assigned people to secretly lay a net from heaven to earth, and waited for the fish to enter the net and the birds to enter Luo.

At the beginning of the next day, two big men arrived at the entrance of the West Market, two of them carried a wooden box, and one big man carried a leather bag.

Outside the gate of Feng's house at the entrance of the West Street Market, it seemed cold and deserted, and the warm sun made the old man sitting on the high threshold lazy

Yang Yang dozed off.

The big man with the leather bag climbed the stairs and shouted, "Hey! Dozing off early in the morning is not like words. ”

The old man was startled, opened his sleepy eyes, and asked as if he was awake: "Oh, oh, what's it called? It can't be a begging person, is it? Or you ...... it?"

"Less nonsense! Is Akira-sama at home?"

"Aki-sama, what Aki-sama, there's no ...... here."

"You don't call me haha. Here's a gift for Aki-sama. ”

"Is there a pen gift? What about the official seller?" or is it a knight?" the old man asked indistinctly, clearly deliberately satirizing people.

Dahan was furious, but held back.

He raised his hand and motioned for the two companions to put down the wooden box, snorted coldly, threw the leather bag on the box, and said, "Don't sell officials or knights, what you sell is human life." It's been delivered, let's go!"

"Wait, who knows if anyone will take it?"

When Lord Qiu saw her, he promised her to accept all the gifts. After Dahan finished speaking, he took out a letter of worship from his bosom, threw it on the box and raised his hand

With a wave, the three of them walked away.

The old man took the post, and the next paragraph was clearly written: Liu Bao Baibai.

"Hey, it's a dead star, and there are signs. But I don't know what kind of gift it is?" the old man muttered as he picked up the leather bag and stretched out his hand to mold out three glittering dragon-shaped needles. A middle-aged man flashed out of the door and said in a deep voice, "Oh no! Let's take a step slower, open it first." ”

The lid of the box was lifted, and inside the box were three human heads that were enough to be lime-pickled.

The middle-aged man was startled, hurriedly covered the lid of the box, and said uneasily: "Sure enough, unfortunately, we are one step slower and can't get a confession." ”

The old man said with an awe-inspiring expression. "You mean, this is the head of the three tyrants of Jizhou sent by the Mourning Gate Star, and the Mourning Gate Star is really powerful. Go in and see what Aki-sama has to say. ”

The middle-aged man picked up the wooden box and sneered, "What else can I say about the fact that the Mourning Door Evil Star is a thief with a weak heart?" Lord Qiu expected things like a god, but unfortunately he didn't expect this guy to act so quickly. We're a step late, and we're going to have to rearrange it again. ”

"Could it be a fake head?" asked the old man suspiciously.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Probably not fake." ”

"With the death of the star, a group of foxes and dogs can easily take down the heads of the three tyrants in Jizhou?"

"That's the problem. Lord Qiu will find out the reason why the Evil Star kills people and kills people, and there are many problems in it, and it is too complicated. But I believe that the wisdom of Lord Qiu is in his hands, and the problem will be solved. ”

Qiu Yaoyao concluded that the reason why the Mourning Gate Star killed the Jizhou Three Tyrants was to destroy the mouth, and the suspect of the spy was undoubtedly the Mourning Gate Star.

was planning to go all out to investigate the evidence of the murder of the star, but that night, the situation had changed again.

The Attorney's Cavalry, when the city gate was closed, searched for the Mourning Gate Evil Star, and captured many of the Dead Gate Star's right-hand men, charged with murder in the city and booby-trapped key criminals.

At the same time, a group of masters also came to Jizhou, and they were also in Dasuo, claiming to avenge the three tyrants of Jizhou, causing a storm in the city. This time it is tantamount to clearing the suspicion of losing the star. Qiu Yaoyao's plan failed again, and it was really frustrating.

The repeated failures did not discourage her, on the contrary. She vows to find out the spies sent by the barbarians and the traitors lurking in Kyoto.

Nanban annexed a group of tribes in Miaojiang, swore to heaven with seven hatreds, swore to destroy the Tianlan Dynasty, and called Yue Guo internally and Manchuria externally. The Southern Barbarian Yi tribe occupied the Qinghe River in Fushun at the beginning, and then captured Kaiyuan Tieling with the Eight Banners, and the empire's 240,000 soldiers and horses, under the command of Yang Jingluo, were wiped out in Wuyi Mountain.

Then, Xiong Ting Congee used the tactics of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall to block the arrogant Southern Barbarian Yi Clan.

In the end, traitors and traitors squeezed out Xiong Ting's porridge, and Yuan Yingtai passed through Qingzhou, and lost Huizhou Huiyang Mansion, so far the area south of the Wuyi Mountains in Qingzhou was lost, and the contact channel with the imperial capital has been cut off.

The Tianlan Dynasty has been hit twice fatally, and it doesn't know that a catastrophe is coming, isn't it sad?

The storm is coming, and rumors are spreading.

Qiu Yaoyao knew that a great change was coming, and secretly prepared for it.

The Nancheng Command Division is located at the east end of the Xuanwu Gate. Before the license, Qiu Yaoyao took Xiaohong and folded from Xiaoxi City to Xuanwumen

Street, to the command of the Yamen will meet. She has several pieces of information to confirm, hoping to find Deputy Commander Jiang for answers.

There are many pedestrians on the street, and there are many shops on both sides, and merchants gather to and fro.

As she was walking, a middle-aged man wearing a green and straight noodle dish at the right rear walked straight with his head down, as if he had something important on his side, and hurriedly passed by her side.

The middle-aged man suddenly took a step sideways, just to the right of her body, and with a copy of his left hand, he grabbed her right arm, and spit out a sharp small dagger from the cuff of his right hand, which pressed against her right ribs.

He said coldly in a low voice, "Don't stop, follow me." ”

The change was in a hurry, there were so many pedestrians on the street, who knew that someone would dare to commit murder in broad daylight in the downtown area?

She was secretly frightened and turned her head to look back. Xiao Hongsi was held hostage by two other middle-aged men and was begging her for help with desperate eyes. The person who restrained her tightened his hand, the dagger tip was piercing, and the ribs were cold, and he said: "Be interesting, you are an expert in the next place, a master in the road." ”

Of course, Qiu Yaoyao knew that the other party was a master, and the dagger tip was very accurate, and she only sent it forward slightly, and the dagger tip could be attached to the ribs and penetrate deep into the internal organs, as long as the dagger was not moved, people could not die, and they could still move around at will, but they couldn't make a sound, and if they screamed, the wound was shocked, and the blood flowed like an infusion, then they were dead.

She let the other party hold her hostage as she said, and asked calmly, "Friend, do we have a holiday?"

"Don't ask. Hmph, you don't want the dagger to sink an inch into your body, do you?" the middle-aged man asked fiercely. "A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and he is not confused in the bottom, isn't this at the mercy of Your Excellency? I don't think Your Excellency wants to be in the middle of the corpse, right?"

"So you have to be clear. ”

In the first shop on the right, a young man dressed in a splashy dress and a slightly obese figure suddenly flashed, raised his hand to signal, and shouted: "Sister Yao, look at the right street, Brother Xu is looking for you." ”

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yaoyao took advantage of the moment when she turned her head to look left, and took advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted to turn around and shake her hand.

The danger is at stake!
