[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 20, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Wei Hall]

At this time, in the Tsing Yi Wei Hall, it was Zhao Wang Li Yi who was sitting upright. Sitting on both sides of the lower head, there are Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yiwei, Yin Zhong Xingming of Jingzhao Mansion, Qianhu Nangong Buyu of Bei'an Pingsi, Cheng Kezhong, the chief manager of the forbidden army, and Dai Zhou, the chief of Dali Temple. Except for the deputy envoy Xu Ke, who was still detained in the Imperial Prison at this time, all the members of the "Beijing Trial Group" were already present one by one.

Naturally, today Li Yi convened all the high-ranking officials and gathered in the Tsing Yi Wei Assembly Hall, and what they discussed was the cat demon case that caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

In the capital of Daqian, more than a dozen young and strong men died innocently, and even with Han Wang Li Zuo was also charmed by the cat demon and died, this case has already caused a stir in the entire Chang'an City. Fortunately, after hearing a lot of news about this case, the people of Chang'an gradually became accustomed to it. After all, in the past month or so, there have been no new dead bodies in Chang'an City, and the panic that had permeated the capital has slowly dissipated, and the Han King who died suddenly in Cuiyun Tower, after the common people learned about it, most of them clapped their hands! Therefore, the residents of Chang'an City, except for being dissatisfied with the excessively strict curfew at night, did not cause too many twists and turns.

However, Li Yi is the mastermind of the cat demon case after all. Now, although Chang'an City has returned to its former peace and prosperity, the cat demon has still not been captured. Li Yi thought about the safety of the people of Chang'an, and thought that he and the ministers in charge of the case of "monsters for trouble" had not met for many days, so he personally came to Tsing Yiwei early this morning, and ordered someone to summon all the high-ranking officials, wanting to hear whether these people had any new opinions on the case of cat demons.

Since the appearance of monsters in the capital of Daqian, the atmosphere of today's "case analysis meeting" was the most relaxed and harmonious. Several high-ranking officials of various ministries spoke to each other modestly and politely, and the expressions on their faces were also very peaceful, and there was no longer the previous confrontation. After all, Chang'an City has been peaceful for a long time, the people are no longer panicking, and the officials are much more relaxed.

Under the auspices of Li Yi, Jing Zhao Yin Zhong Xingming first introduced the recent situation of public security in Chang'an City, and naturally, Zhong Xingming did not forget to praise Li Yi's demon subjugation in and out of his words.

Subsequently, Cheng Kezhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, talked about the way to control demons again, and when this Cheng Daren said that when he was rising, he couldn't help but spit and fly, but Li Yi couldn't help frowning.

Next, Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi, talked about the case that happened in Cuiyun Tower at the end of last month. Shen Huan blamed himself for failing to detect the whereabouts of the cat demon in time, and even to the sudden death of His Royal Highness King Han in the hands of the cat demon. Naturally, at this time, the rest of the officials inevitably said good things for Shen Huan, especially the Qianhu Nangong of the Bei'an Ping Division, who was silent, and even surrendered his hand to Li Yi again and again, saying that the most dereliction of duty in the Cuiyunlou case should be his Nangong silence.

Shen Huan also said that the cat demon can not only hide in Cuiyun Building, but also go to other brothels, such as Agarwood Courtyard, Huamanlou, Diemenglou and so on. Shen Huan asked Li Yi for instructions, whether Tsing Yi Wei sent people to various brothels in Chang'an City to strengthen the investigation to see if any suspicious girls had mixed in?

Regarding this matter, Li Yi smiled faintly, and then waved his hand to veto, the cat demon is hiding in Cuiyun Building, and now that the incident has happened, how could she be so confused and find other brothels to hide?

Next, Dali Temple Zhengqing Dai Zhou also talked about their visit to the mountains and caves in the suburbs of Chang'an, according to Dai Zhou, Dali Temple almost searched the hundreds of miles outside Chang'an City, but still did not find the slightest clue that the cat demon was hiding.

And Cheng Wanli, the chief manager of the forbidden army, just smiled, and said that the forbidden army just sent more people to strengthen night patrols and investigations, these things were originally within the duty of the forbidden army, and for the investigation of the case and the hunting of demons, thanks to all the adults here, I Lao Cheng just watched the lively clouds on the side. Naturally, the rest of the officials, hearing that General Cheng was so humble, had to "count" his merits in a different way.

When it was Nangong's turn to be silent, this Qianhu of the Northern Anping Division cleared his throat and was about to talk to everyone present about the cat demon he saw with his own eyes that day.

Suddenly, a guard rushed outside the door of the council hall and said to Shen Huan, someone asked to see King Zhao Chitose.

Shen Huan rolled his eyes, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot. He said in his heart, why is it that when His Royal Highness King Zhao came down to my Tsing Yi Guard, there were always some uninteresting people who would come to disturb him?

But Li Yi, the king of Zhao, waved his hand and asked the guards to bring the man in.

Before long, the guard led a white-faced and bearded chamberlain in his fifties and hurried into the council hall. Li Yi recognized this person, but it was Wang Jianling, the head of the Jin Palace.

"Wang Jianling, why are you here?" Li Yi asked at that time.

The chief manager of the Jin Palace, when he saw Li Yi sitting upright, immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously with a crying voice:

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, ...... quickly Hurry up and save His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"What's wrong with my eighth brother?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I was arrested last night!"

"What?!"

As soon as Wang Jianling's words came out, not only Zhao Wang Li Yi, but also all the high-ranking officials present were moved, and everyone looked at each other, each with their own hearts, King Jin was taken away? Who would be so bold!

"What the hell is going on? Hurry up and make it clear!" Li Yi suddenly asked eagerly.

Wang Jianling stood up from the ground and looked at the people in the hall, but he was a little speechless.

Obviously, Wang Jianling wants to report to King Zhao's words, and there must be secrets in them that cannot be known to outsiders.

All the officials in the council hall had already understood, and were waiting for King Zhao to speak, so they got up and avoided it, but at this time, Li Yi, who could hear the head, reprimanded loudly:

"When has it been! Still such a mother-in-law! How did my eighth brother get caught? Who is so bold? You still don't tell me clearly?!"

Wang Jianling had no choice but to bow down to Li Yi, and then told the story of King Jin being kidnapped last night in front of everyone in the council hall......

The rest of the officials, a few of them had already left the table, and when they heard King Zhao's words, they could only sit down again and listen to Wang Jianling's story.

It turned out that at six o'clock last night, after Li Ci, the king of Jin, went out from the Wei Palace, the carriage traveled less than half a mile north, and an extraordinarily slender man was killed in the oblique stab.

The man was holding a five-foot long sword, and suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, his face was extremely thin, and his head was full of silver hair, and he looked at it in the dark night, like a ghost, which frightened Wang Jianling, who was driving the carriage. Wang Jianling hurriedly stopped his horse and asked the other party loudly.

But the slender man didn't say much to Wang Jianling, and slammed his long sword, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed all the twelve guards next to the carriage.

The man drew his sword too quickly, and Wang Jianling was in a trance, only to see the slender man's figure flash, and the twelve burly guards beside him fell to the ground one by one. Even, even if the other party had a sword, Wang Jianling didn't see it clearly, and the twelve guards of the Jin Palace's mansion had all fallen in a pool of blood.

At that time, he thought that he had encountered a powerful ghost, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and trembled uncontrollably.

After Li Ci, the king of Jin, stepped down from the carriage, the slender man suddenly appeared behind Li Ci like a ghost. But this time, he suddenly spoke out of his mouth, and he still spoke the words of a big cadre.

The slender man told them not to be afraid, he just wanted the king of Jin to follow him to the south of the city, saying that he wanted to exchange the king of Jin and the emperor of Daqian for a sword, as long as the sword was in hand, the king of Jin would be able to return safely.

So, under the orders of the slender man, Wang Jianling had to drive again, turn the head of the car, and carry the slender man and the king of Jin all the way to the south. 918

The carriage traveled to the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City, and the general of the forbidden army guarding the city saw that it was the frame of the Jin Palace, and heard Li Ci in the carriage reprimand loudly, so he had to open the city gate in person and let Li Ci and his party go out.

Wang Jianling and Li Xi had both seen the slender man's terrible martial arts, and knew that even in front of the forbidden army, it would be easy for the other party to kill him.

The carriage continued to the southern outskirts of the city and traveled for more than 50 miles before stopping. The slender man got out of the car and led King Jin into a cave. However, the slender man did not embarrass Wang Jianling, but ordered him to drive the carriage back to the city directly.

The slender man handed a thin note to Wang Jianling, and after he returned to the city, he found King Zhao of Daqian and handed the note to King Zhao......

It's just that after Wang Jianling drove the carriage back to the Mingde Gate in the south of the city, this time, the carriage was missing Li Ci, the king of Jin, but the forbidden army guarding the city refused to open the city gate no matter what. Wang Jianling had no choice but to wait outside the south city gate, and waited until the city gate was wide open, and then he drove into the city in a hurry.

Wang Jianling didn't dare to slack off, and after entering Chang'an City, he didn't have time to go back to the Jin Palace's palace to report to the Jin King's side concubine Su, but drove to the Zhao Palace.

Hearing that Li Yi, the king of Zhao, was not in the mansion, he went to Tsing Yi Wei to convene all the officials to discuss it, Wang Jianling immediately turned the horse's head, and hurriedly came to Tsing Yi Wei again......

After listening to Wang Jianling's narration, Li Yi immediately got up, walked to Wang Jianling, stretched out his hand to take the thin note, and saw that the handwriting on it was very sloppy, and the writing was extremely casual, just writing a sentence:

"If you want to save the life of King Jin, you must Xu Ke alone, and you must exchange it with the Xuanhuang sword! Within three days, the sword comes, the person returns, the sword does not come, the head is returned!"

Li Yi couldn't help but gasp when he read that sentence. Although the handwriting on the thin paper is not very neat, the tone and tone between the words give people a chill for no reason!

At this time, Wang Jianling leaned over Li Yi again and pleaded with him:

"Your Highness, the thief said that when you saw the words in the letter, you knew what to do. Right now, the King of Jin has fallen into the hands of the thief, every moment passes, he will be in more danger, I hope His Royal Highness will think of ideas no matter what, and save the King of Jin quickly!"

"What does that person look like?" asked Li Yi.

"Is that person...... Wang Jianling thought for a while, then said:

"He didn't look very old, he seemed to be about forty years old, but his hair was all white, and he was very tall and thin!" he ......."

"Hmm......" Li Yi nodded, and had already judged the thief who kidnapped King Jin in his heart, and he asked again:

"Where did you drive last night?"

Wang Jianling thought carefully for a while before he said:

"The minion was in a panic last night, and he couldn't see it clearly, but the minion remembered that there was a high mountain over there, and it seemed to be ...... Jinding Mountain!"

"Jinding Mountain...... Sure enough, it's Jinding Mountain?!" Li Yi chewed on the name of the mountain repeatedly in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that there were several officials sitting in the council hall, and most of those people were stunned with a look of confusion on their faces......

"Hey, you're still here! In this way, today's cat demon case will be discussed here, and everyone in the rankings will be busy!"

Cheng Ke and the others got up one after another, and after saluting Li Yi, they each said goodbye and went out.

Leaving Shen Huan and Cheng Wanli, they walked up to Li Yi and asked:

"Your Highness, what did that thief's letter say?"

Li Yi did not answer, but ordered:

"Wang Jianling, there's nothing for you to do here, you go back to the Jin Palace, and tell Princess Jin that I, Li Yi, will save the eighth brother and return safely no matter what, so they don't have to worry!"

"The slave obeys!" Wang Jianling bowed down to Li Yi, immediately turned around and went out, and went back to the Jin Palace.

"Shen Dudu, there is nothing for you to do here, the king of Jin was kidnapped, you must block the news and not let outsiders know!"

"The subordinate obeys!"

Shen Huan felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he had to bow to Li Yi and then turn around and go out. But he thought in his heart, so many people in the council hall today already knew that King Jin was kidnapped by thieves last night, how do you let me block the news?

"Wanli, you come into the palace with me!Let's talk while walking!" Li Yichao ordered Cheng Wanli beside him.

"Okay!" Cheng Wanli immediately responded.

At that moment, the two were about to go out and walk towards Daming Palace together, but they saw Shen Huan turn around and walk into the meeting hall.

"Shen Dudu, what else is going on?" Seeing Shen Huan go and return, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you again!"

"Anyone else?"

Behind Shen Huan, a person had walked in, and looking at the appearance of that person, he was less than fifty years old, with no white face, and he was still a chamberlain of the palace.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Li Yi obviously recognized the chamberlain of the palace, and when he saw him come in, he immediately asked.
