The first day of February.

When the dawn of the morning sprinkled over the earth, the emperor, who the courtiers had been waiting for, did not appear, but received a message - the emperor was seriously ill and canceled the early dynasty. The hundred officials retreated.

Last night's accident made the emperor almost die, but he was more afraid of one thing than the emperor who almost killed him in the neck, why did the enemy appear in the capital? What about the soldiers guarding the city? What made him even more frightened than this was why did the enemy know that he was out of the palace, and knew that he was going to find Chang Laojiu? When he left the palace last night, only Xu Nianen and Zhuang Zejing knew, Xu Nianen would never betray him, and Zhuang Zejing was going to do it, he was already dead, so who leaked his whereabouts?

The wound on his neck, the strange things, and the mystery that could not be solved made the emperor return to the panic that he had when he first ascended the throne a few months ago, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines all became suspicious in an instant.

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, he ignored his injuries, and hurriedly summoned people to give orders, first, to arrest all the guards of the nine gates of the capital, and try them in detail by the three law divisions;

Second, order Wang Xiuchuan to question all the palace maids and eunuchs who had walked in front of the hall where he had reviewed the chapters since the moment he left the palace last night; third, the 'gold-clothed guards' and the auxiliary city yamen should quickly join forces to search for suspicious persons in the capital, and if any were found, they would be immediately arrested, and those who resisted should be killed; fourth, they should be investigated and reported within three days; fifth, all the gang members in the capital should go to the auxiliary city yamen to register on the case, and those who conceal and fail to report will be punished for plotting rebellion; sixth, The imperial doctor treated Chang Laojiu's injuries at any cost, rewarded the living with platinum, and continued to reward a thousand gold with a broken hand, if a person died, he would be dismissed from his post and expelled from the capital and never be used......;

The first reply was not to the people who did the work, but to the courtiers, two notes, a thousand-word article, and the emperor's private exit from the palace was quoted from the classics, and the emperor had not yet breathed, followed by the second, third, and fourth copies...... For a while, everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital knew that the emperor left the palace without permission, and the officials were heartbroken, and they were severely criticized, and the people had a lot of support, and some joked that the next time the emperor came out, he must be invited to sit at home.

The people were happy and thought it was fun, but the owners of the shops around the 'Jiuyuan Blacksmith Shop' were so frightened that they didn't possess their bodies, and then they knew that it was the emperor who was fighting outside last night, and the shop was not wanted immediately, and the business was gone, and they all packed up the gold and silver and fled, they clearly remembered that the emperor was assassinated on the street, not only did they not help but did not open the door, and even when the 'Dragon Guard' called for help, they did not move at all, if the emperor remembered them, this can still be good? As a result, more than a dozen shops closed without warning, and the rest were reluctant to give up their business and plan to resist to the end.

At night, the king retired and reinstated, and the result of the interrogation was that thirty-five people passed through the palace where the emperor was before, as for whether they saw that the emperor was not in the palace, it is not known, and they don't know who leaked the news of the emperor's exit from the palace, but it is certain that even if the emperor's news is leaked, he will never guess that the king of a country will personally go to a blacksmith shop to talk about things, the enemy can accurately grasp the whereabouts or there may be another way, and perhaps there are masters among the enemies who guess the emperor's movements in advance and secretly monitor, after all, the master of the palace guard is only Zhuang Zejing, the emperor does not go out, once he goes out, Zhuang Zejing must be accompanied, Zhuang Zejing's characteristics are obvious, as long as he keeps an eye on Zhuang Zejing, Who is the emperor is clear at a glance, after all, there are not many people who can treat Zhuang Ze politely, there was a martial arts country before, but now there is only one, the emperor was worried in his heart, and he was silent.

Wang Xiu saw the emperor's hesitation, took two steps forward, and came closer and said: "Your Majesty, please hand over these people to the ministers, and I am not afraid that they will not confess under heavy punishment." ”

The emperor said: "Under heavy punishment, it is easy to be beaten into a trick, not to mention that it is impossible for fifteen people to die." ”

"The emperor's golden body, being able to suffer some grievances for the emperor is a blessing that these subordinates have cultivated in their previous lives, and it is best to ...... them all in order to prevent future troubles. Wang Xiu said, and put his hand in front of his neck.

The emperor frowned and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just expel them all from the palace, even if there are enemy spies among them, it is useless to leave the palace." ”

"The emperor is merciful. After Wang Xiu finished bowing, he got up and left.

A few days later, the imperial medicine saved Chang Lao Jiu's life but could not take Chang Lao Jiu's hand, and the yamen of the auxiliary city of the capital was busy making up for the missing martial arts people of the various sects in the capital every day, in fact, there were no sects, and the soldiers who were patrolling the night had been beheaded. After the interrogation of the three legal divisions, it was determined that the nine guards did not collude with outsiders, so they were punished for dereliction of duty and dismissed.

The 'Golden Guard' searched the city, it was already a step too late, only a pile of torn clothes and a few corpses were found, as for the new killer organization, a lot of them were collected, there were more than a dozen, but they were all small fighting organizations, it was unlikely that there would be such a master as that night, no matter what, the killer was not good after all, and the emperor ordered that all of them be exterminated.

Things didn't make much progress, Zhuang Zejing remembered the old man's words that day, so he went to visit the old man, and finally got some information about this killer organization.

It is said that the young master of the 'Night Club' was invincible and annexed the six gangs of 'Black Mountain', 'Black Prison', 'Dark Sting', 'Sand Castle', 'Gray Fly' and 'Hundred-footed Li', which changed the alliance and mutual aid pattern of the 'Black Water Seven Alliances' for thirty or forty years, and became a new pattern of 'Black Water Seven Alliances' in which the 'Night Club' was the dominant one, and the other six gangs were all affiliated. The leaders of the two gangs of the Black Prison were very dissatisfied with Chong Invincible, pretending to give in, but secretly they were constantly cultivating forces in an attempt to replace Chong Invincible, and later the matter was revealed, and Chong Invincible cleared the forces of the two, and the two escaped with Li Daitao's plan, but the two were unwilling, so they secretly accepted their disciples to set up a revenge organization, only hoping that one day they could kill Chong Invincible and submit to the people who were invincible, recapture the 'Black Mountain', 'Black Prison', and even control the 'Black Water Seven Alliance'.

In order to grow rapidly and solve the problem of expenses, the two and their disciples began to secretly collect money to buy their lives to join the ranks of killers, because they were doing shady business and were afraid of being invincible and would find out, so they could not be called by their real names, and they were called by code names among themselves, the "Black Mountain" gang leader was named after Tu, and the "Black Prison" gang leader was called "Killing", because "Black Mountain" and "Black Prison" all had a black character, so they called themselves "Black Slaughter" and "Black Killing" and this killer organization was also called "Massacre", which was the first generation of "Black Slaughter" and "Black Slaughter". 'Black killing', because it acts cruelly and viciously, and mostly acts at night, so the origin of the word 'black' is falsely spread in the rivers and lakes.

'Massacre' developed very fast, the power quickly grew, and became a killer organization with the same name as 'Bairen Jingtang', 'Listening to Yuxuan', 'Reading Sword Building', and later 'Black Water Seven Alliances' and 'Juntian Jiuding' feuded, the two sides fought, Chong Invincible was unexpectedly defeated by the hands of the 'Juntian Jiuding' Ding Lord, 'Massacre' took the opportunity to make a sneak attack, Chong Invincible was seriously injured and fled, and since then it has been in a slump, 'Massacre' suffered heavy losses, 'Black Slaughter' and 'Black Kill' died in battle, and the apprentices of the two took over and inherited the title of 'Black Slaughter' and 'Black Kill' since then 'Black Slaughter' has never been able to surpass 'Black Slaughter'.

A few years later, Chong Invincible was murdered by his own son Chong Pojing, his son controlled the 'Blackwater Seven Alliances', and even infiltrated the power of the 'Blackwater Seven Alliances' into the government and the opposition, inside and outside the Central Plains, the two sides don't know why, although the people of the previous generation died, the hatred between the 'Blackwater Seven Alliances' and the 'Massacre' continued, the two sides fought several times to 'slaughter' miserable losses, the two leaders died in battle, and the new leader was not the opponent of the 'Blackwater Seven Alliances', 'Bairen Jingtang', 'Listening to Yuxuan', and 'Reading Sword Tower' took the opportunity to fall into the well' Massacre' suffered heavy losses one after another, and was forced to withdraw from the killer world, and later, when the "Black Water Seven Alliance" collapsed, it is said that there was a nest out, as for the reason is unknown, it is said to be related to the "Yan", the result is that the "massacre" was hit hard again, only eleven people ran out, and then fell into the ambush of the "Hundred Ninja Jingtang", and left six corpses in the eleven people, and the remaining five people are not known for their life and death, so far this force has completely disappeared in the Central Plains.

As for where the people of the 'slaughter' are now, how many people there are, why they assassinated the emperor, whether they were bribed by silver or simply went to the enemy country, they don't know at all, if they send more people who are good at detectives in the 'golden guards' to investigate, they may not be able to find out, but the investment in manpower and money will not be small, so the emperor only sent four or five to visit, as for whether he can find it, he dare not ask.

Zhuang Zejing withdrew from the hall after returning to the court, and before the emperor could settle down, more than a dozen 'golden cavalry' soldiers left from the capital and burned and looted all the way back to 'Beichuan' The news has come, passing through several cities without being blocked. It can be seen that there were a lot of 'golden horsemen' who infiltrated the capital at that time, and some of them failed to assassinate the emperor and died, and the remaining people knew that they had no chance to assassinate the emperor again, so they ran all the way and robbed all the way, and returned to the outside of the pass, the emperor was furious, but he couldn't help it.

The situation between the DPRK and China was complicated, stable and stable, and the emperor was busy every day, sleeping in the middle of the day and night, and getting up before dawn. Chang Lao Jiu gradually recovered from his injuries, and after losing his hands, he was unable to make a 'Shocking Spring Thunder' or sell his weapons, and the collapse of the house left him with nowhere to place the weapons he had built before, so he had to order his son to deal with them cheaply.

The emperor paid the landlord's house money for Chang Lao Jiu, and invited Chang Lao Jiu to join the firearms supervision, after all, Chang Lao Jiu's hands are still gone, and the firearms of the 'Osumi Tenjo' were extremely powerful, although they now lack strong economic strength as support as the imperial court, but their inheritance is more perfect than that of the imperial court, and Chang Lao Jiu has both family education and as a person who was transferred to the 'cloth guard' as the leader of the 'cloth guard' by the position of the 'mountain sect' supervising the manufacture of firearms, and his attainments in firearms are not comparable to others in the world. Chang Laojiu agreed, so the emperor immediately ordered the 'Ministry of Officials' to confer seals and seal officials.
