With only a slight glance at Gongyu Sarong, who was kneeling under the hall in embarrassment, Xue Youyou turned her gaze to Guo Shixun, the master of the Civil Engineering Hall, who had just made a great contribution by catching the Beirong assassin.

"Hall Master Guo, how did you know that the Beirong Assassin would appear in that bamboo forest?"

Guo Shixun hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the alliance master, my subordinates didn't know in advance that these Beirong assassins would appear there, and it was a pure coincidence that they met tonight!"

"Oh?"

Xue Youyou couldn't help but smile meaningfully, "Don't you think this coincidence is too coincidental? On a snowy night, why did Hall Master Guo suddenly run outside on a whim to catch the Beirong assassin?"

A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Guo Shixun's body.

He could guess that Han Bing had probably told Xue Youyou about his suspicions about himself through the little girl in Shui Lingluo.

That's why at this moment, the alliance leader behaved so strangely about his capture of the Beirong assassins, not only did he not see any words of encouragement, but instead obviously asked him a series of questions with a sense of doubt.

But fortunately, he was reprimanded by Zheng Yong not long ago, and Guo Shixun was already fully aware of his flaws, so he thought of a response in advance.

"It's too much of a coincidence, no wonder the alliance leader is suspicious. In fact, the subordinates did not do it on a whim, but found a suspicious secret passage, so they took someone to check it overnight. As a result, it happened that the Beirong Assassin appeared from that secret passage, and he picked up a ready-made bargain. ”

Xue Youyou only raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and asked, "The secret passage, how did you 'discover' that secret passage?"

Hearing her bite the word "discovered" very hard, clearly implying that she was shouting to catch a thief, Guo Shixun was still able to keep his face unchanged.

Because at this moment he has an iron heart and is determined to resist to the end.

Anyway, Xue Youyou couldn't come up with any solid evidence, and just based on Han Bing's speculation, he couldn't help him, the civil engineering hall master who was quite powerful in the alliance.

So, Guo Shixun deliberately pretended not to understand the irony in the words of the alliance leader, and continued to tell the lie he had already made up.

"After my subordinates returned from the city today, I overheard my brothers mention that they had seen a suspicious figure near the place where Guo Youzhong was killed, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Everyone thought it was haunted, but their subordinates suspected that there might be a secret passage there. Thinking of the recent rumors of the Beirong assassins entering Beijing, his subordinates really didn't dare to take it lightly, so they decided to take someone to find out in person.

The snow fell during the night, making our search very difficult, and it took us a long time to find the secret passage in a bamboo forest.

The subordinates were worried that someone would use this secret passage to escape at night, so they decided to take someone to stay there for the night first, and then report the matter to the alliance leader early tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, just now, these Beirong assassins really appeared from the secret passage! So, his subordinates led people to arrest them. As a result, only this Gongyu Sarong was caught, but his brother Gongyu Sayan took the opportunity to slip away. However, the subordinates have sent people to chase after them, and so far, they have not received any returns. ”

Listening to Guo Shixun's words, it was also reasonable, and the hall masters next to them couldn't help but nod their heads, judging from the obvious excitement on their faces, everyone was excited to be able to catch the Beirong assassin.

Xue Youyou's heart is naturally like a mirror, knowing that Guo Shixun must have been instructed by Zheng Yong, and he used this opportunity to be in the limelight, and he could get rid of his relationship with that secret passage, and even washed away his suspicion of colluding with the northerners in one fell swoop.

At this moment, if she wanted to prove that this civil engineering hall master was actually obeying Zheng Yong's orders and using the secret passage to send the Beirong assassins into the city, it could be said that there was no convincing power, and it was estimated that no one would believe it.

Without evidence, she, the leader of the alliance, really has no way to deal with this scheming Guo Shixun.

Smiling slightly, Xue Youyou's tone softened, "In this way, Hall Master Guo has really worked hard! Capturing the Beirong Assassin in one fell swoop, Hall Master Guo and all the brothers who participated in tonight's arrest operation have all contributed a lot!"

Guo Shixun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you to the leader of the alliance for his praise! His subordinates are all members of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, and they are also the people of Dayu, and it is my duty to eradicate these Beirong thieves who have brought disaster to me!"

Xue Youyou nodded with a look of great satisfaction, and said, "That being said, according to the rules of the alliance, merit will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished." After tomorrow's seat has discussed with all the hall masters, I will reward all the brothers who participated in tonight's arrest operation!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

Although Guo Shixun was still extremely humble, his voice still couldn't help revealing a trace of unconcealable joy, and his drooping eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of self-satisfaction.

Xue Youyou saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, and she was even more determined to eradicate this scheming civil engineering hall master as soon as possible.

Immediately, she turned her gaze to Gongyu Sarong, who was kneeling down in the hall, and said in a cold voice: "Gongyu Sarong, this seat has received news that a Beirong assassin broke into the palace tonight and attempted to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu.

It stands to reason that you belong to the imperial court, and the end will naturally be beheaded for public display. But now that you have fallen into the hands of my Loyalty, things will not be so simple.

Two years ago, you, the so-called deputy pavilion master of the Broken Sword Pavilion, once led the assassins in the pavilion to intercept and kill many of the helmsmen in our alliance and their brothers.

Your hands have really been stained with the blood of too many people in the Loyalty and Righteousness League! And my Loyalty and Righteousness League is a gang in the rivers and lakes, and it has always had clear grievances and paid attention to blood debts and blood repayment!

If you don't want to suffer a lot of flesh and skin before you die, you have to answer my questions honestly. Tell me, who is in charge of receiving you on Dayu's side and helping you infiltrate the palace to assassinate you?"

Gongyu Sarong listened, just snorted disdainfully, and then kept silent, putting on a posture of looking at death as home.

When everyone in the lobby saw this, their faces couldn't help but glow with anger, and some of them even scolded loudly, eager to immediately step forward and teach this unruly Beirong assassin a hard lesson!

Xue Youyou has always been known for her iron-fisted methods, and she will not take the little Beijung assassin in front of her seriously.

She first waved her hand unhurriedly to stop the commotion of everyone in the hall, and then glanced at Gongyu Sarong with disdain, and said, "No wonder back then, Lingshi Duxiaoqiong just let Gongyu Sayan mix into the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, but let you go to get a Broken Sword Pavilion." Presumably he has already seen that you idiot will only do what he is told, and he will not know how to be flexible at all. ”

Gongyu Sarong still had her lips closed, and even her eyes were closed, and she looked unmoved at all.

"Actually, you don't need to answer, this seat can also guess that behind all this, it is Zheng Yong's traitorous eunuch who is doing it!"

Xue Youyou glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall, and continued, "The biological son of the traitorous eunuch, Zhao Zhan, the former commander of the forbidden army, died at the hands of cold ice in the competition.

In order to avenge the murder of his son, Zheng Yong has been calculating by unscrupulous means, and he is even more crazy enough to take advantage of the opportunity of King Ji's rebellion to personally lead many of his subordinates to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion and other princely mansions that are implicated in Zhao Zhan's death.

After the defeat, the traitor ran to Beirong, wanting to use the hand of the Empress Dowager Yin to remove the cold ice. After failing again, he sneaked back to Dayu and continued his plot to kill Han Bing.

He first asked his subordinate Wu Yuan to spread rumors that Han Bing was a parting arrow, and then asked people to kill Wu Yuan, intending to blame Han Bing in order to provoke a conflict between the Loyalty Alliance and Han Bing.

At the same time, he introduced you Beirong assassins into the capital, intending to kill Han Bing with the help of Duxiao Qiong. And you are just another pawn in the hands of the traitor.

I've heard that you and the commander can sense each other. I wonder if you have sensed it at this time, is the commander already on the way to save you?"

Hearing Xue Youyou's last words, Gongyu Sarong opened his eyes suddenly!

"Zheng Yong, why did he do this?"

His question is tantamount to admitting what Xue Youyou said, Zheng Yong is the mastermind behind all this.

Everyone in the lobby couldn't help but look at each other in some confusion, and began to realize that they were also being used by Zheng Yong!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xue Youyou smiled indifferently and answered Gongyu Sa Rong's question: "Because at the beginning, after the martial arts competition in the Yuanfang Society, it was I who prevented Zheng Yong's men from besieging and killing Han Bing. This traitor will never forget this revenge! And there is indeed an account to be settled between me and that Chiyang Sect Master!"

After saying that, she turned her head to Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement officer of the torture hall who was standing aside, and said, "Wan law enforcement, you first order someone to detain this Beirong assassin and wait for tomorrow's trial." ”

Wan Hengjiang immediately agreed, and let Gongyu Sarong be escorted down and directly imprisoned in the dungeon of the torture hall.

At this time, Xue Youyou slowly glanced at the people in the lobby one by one, and said in a solemn voice: "The Duxiao Dome will arrive in an instant, and we will prepare to face it!"
