Chapter 257: A Bad Omen

Lord Yin Duan Pu Qing Duan of Jingzhao Mansion has been a little restless recently, and the eyelid of his right eye has been jumping for many days, so it is certain that nothing good will happen.

Sure enough, early in the morning, before Lord Yin of the People's Mansion had finished his breakfast, he suddenly heard the drum at the entrance of the Jingzhao Mansion, and was knocked "dong" and "dong" mountain sounds!

A mouthful of hot porridge that had already reached his mouth almost squirted out, and Lord Duan blushed, and asked angrily at the official who was running in to report the news: "Who came here early in the morning to make trouble?

The official grinned and said, "Your Excellency, you're here to make trouble...... The man...... It's the Ice Boy......"

When Duan Puqing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, Fang ordered: "You ask the cold ice boy to wait for a while, and the official will go over." ”

The official immediately answered, turned around and ran back to the lobby in front of him.

While running, he was still thinking in his heart, it seems that even Lord Fu Yin would not dare to provoke this murderous plague god!

Duan Puqing didn't even need breakfast here, so he hurriedly ordered someone to get his official uniform and change it on, and rushed to the front to see the cold ice boy who was obviously here to make trouble.

Seeing Duan Puqing coming so quickly, Han Bing's already smiling face was a little more joyful.

He stepped forward and saluted Master Duan, who was already sitting in the hall.

"Lord Fu Yin, Han Bing is polite!"

Duan Puqing looked at Han Bing quietly, remembering that more than two months ago, when this kid first appeared in the lobby of his Jingzhao Mansion, he was also so presumptuous and rude, he didn't even kneel, and kept calling himself "polite".

At that time, he didn't know what kind of character this cold ice was, but seeing that the people who came with him were all sons of a family, his status would not be too low.

Therefore, he, Lord Yin, endured the displeasure in his heart and did not bother with him.

As a result, this cold ice sent a big trouble - Yan Xingbao to him.

Today, this kid ran again, still looking fearless, it seems that another trouble has entered the door!

Although he thought so in his heart, Duan Puqing didn't dare to easily offend this bad boy who seemed to be harmless when he laughed, but raised his hand to kill people when he was ruthless.

"You don't have to be polite! You just sounded the drum of grievances outside, but what grievances do you have to appeal to this official?"

The icy starry eyes blinked, smiled slyly, and said, "Lord Yin, I am not here to avenge my grievances, but to surrender!"

"Oh?β€”β€”"

Duan Puqing's slender eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, thinking to himself, whether it is to complain or surrender, anyway, the person who is unlucky in the end will never be you cunning bad boy!

While slandering, he opened his mouth and asked, "I just don't know which case the son voted for?"

Han Bing suddenly smiled mysteriously, first looked at the officials who were standing on both sides and were listening to him with their ears pricked up, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know that there was a murder in Jishi Temple the night before?"

As soon as he heard the word "murder", Duan Puqing's heart jumped suddenly.

Just because in the past ten days, he doesn't know how many times he has heard this extremely harsh word.

And every time he heard this word, he would inexplicably have a feeling of impending catastrophe, always worried that the victim of the next murder would be his turn Duan Puqing's head!

In retrospect, all these bad omen appeared after the martial arts competition in Yuanfang Pavilion.

As soon as he thought of that Yuanfang Pavilion, he, Lord Yin, was angry.

is obviously just a Fengyue place that spends money to buy laughter, but he wants to pretend to be a martial arts master, and he insists on making a nondescript martial arts competition.

He, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, originally had the intention of not approving the farce, but in this matter, he didn't count it at all.

It turned out to be such a big disaster!

Zhao Zhan, the dignified commander of the forbidden army, was actually killed by Han Bing, a swinger, somehow.

Fortunately, his brains of Jingzhao Mansion, who was accustomed to seeing the world, turned extremely fast, and as soon as he got the news, he immediately ordered someone to call back all the Jingzhao Mansion officials who were guarding outside Yuanfang Pavilion at that time.

Don't get involved until you really figure out the ins and outs of something.

β€”β€”This is the most valuable experience that Duan Puqing has realized in the officialdom for so many years.

This martial arts competition, on the surface, seems to be Zheng Yong's will to let Zhao Zhan put the ice to death.

However, after getting a seemingly unrelated piece of news, Duan Puqing had a different view on this matter.

The people of the Tianxiang Sect secretly infiltrated the capital, and they were also arranged in a secret stake of the Loyalty Alliance-Yuelai Inn.

Behind the Tianxiang Sect is King Ji, and behind the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance is Zheng Yong, so what is going on between King Ji and Zheng Yong?

King Ji's people appeared in the capital at this time, which is absolutely impossible for the emperor to mean. And it is highly likely that the emperor did not know about it at all.

Zheng Yongβ€”β€”, what exactly does he want to do?

Is the purpose of this martial arts competition really as simple as killing Han Bing?

No, whether it is King Ji or Zheng Yong, there is no need to go to such great lengths for a swinger of dubious origin.

The person they really want to deal with should be cold-clothed.

And all this they do, I'm afraid, has only one purpose - the throne.

Since Zhao Zhan represents the side of King Ji, then Han Bing should belong to the prince's camp.

The two are competing against each other, and it is impossible to predict how it will end, but the process must be extremely tragic.

He Duan Puqing just wanted to be Jingzhao Mansion Yin for a few more years peacefully, so he didn't have that strong heart to follow the dragon, and he didn't want to lose his net worth and life for this.

It turned out that it was definitely a wise move that he didn't let Jingzhao Mansion get involved in the dispute after the martial arts!

After Zhao Zhan was killed, the four black-clothed guards who were present at the time and a deputy general surnamed Wang were killed one after another, and then the Tianxiang Sectist was killed at the Yuelai Inn.

Subsequently, Zuo Yusong, the deputy leader of the Loyalty League, was also killed on his own territory.

Almost all the people who were involved in that martial arts competition and stood on Zhao Zhan's side ended up with the same fate to Huangquan!

And the emperor in the palace didn't seem to know anything about what was happening, and he didn't care about it.

It can be seen that in today's capital, there is already a dark tide, and a danger of the court is also imminent.

At this time, all he could do was to protect himself and wait and see what happened.

Regrettably, however, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

Although his old fox thinks well, it is really difficult for him to truly be alone.

Although the previous murders all happened in the capital, for various reasons, they did not work to Jingzhao Mansion to help catch the murderer.

It's a pity that before he, Lord Yin, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was another murder in Prince Ding's Mansion, and a guard of the palace was killed.

The case itself is a bit weird, and the reactions of all parties involved are even more weird.

The prince did not send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, but went directly to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

As a result, the head catcher sent by Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the case had just ordered someone to transport the body of the slain guard back to the yamen and hand it over for inspection, and the chief administrator of the inner house, Zheng Gonggong, sent someone to take the body away.

In this way, although Duan Puqing has always been reluctant to meddle in things, he still can't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart-

Why did the emperor and the prince attach so much importance to the death of a small guard?

And what is Zheng Yong, the chief administrator of the Great House, doing?

Once there is doubt in the heart, it will inevitably follow a fear of the unknown.

At this moment, in the heart of Lord Yin Duan, there was a fear that he would eventually be swept into a huge whirlpool, but he could not avoid it and was helpless.
