Section 172 Assassination
After Zhou Tianshi left, Renzong closed his eyes and relaxed slightly, and in a sound of broken footsteps, Tian Wenlin appeared in the Jingshe.
"Your Majesty, ...... last night" Tian Wenlin recounted the discovery of the bandits at the Dongmen Wharf last night.
Renzong smiled and asked, "How does Lord Tian plan to deal with this case?"
"Your Majesty. Tian Wenlin's eyes were blazing, his tone was firm, and he said: "There has not been such a major case in Luodu for more than ten years, and now this case has happened in the minister's Jingzhao Yin, please allow Jingzhao Mansion to investigate to the end, if you can't find a meridian ugly Yin, your majesty will punish you." ”
Renzong said: "The investigation of the case in Jingzhao Mansion is a matter of duty, but the criminal is involved in the Hu people, and the case must be solved before the Wan Dynasty comes to the state, otherwise it may provoke the courtiers to slander." ”
Tian Wenlin calculated the time briefly and said: "Before the Wan Dynasty comes to the state, Jingzhao Mansion will definitely solve the case in three months, please ask Your Majesty for permission?"
According to Wang Aiqing's words, the case will be solved within three months. Renzong agreed.
Tian Wenlin walked out of the imperial city from the Shouren Palace, crossed the cross street, and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion, ordered someone to call Chen Bufan, and asked when they met: "Can you see the clues from the corpses of the Hu people and the girl?"
"Your Excellency, the lower officials have concluded that there are a large number of Hu people lurking in Luodu and preparing to do a shocking case. ”
"Haha, a shocking case?" Tian Wenlin laughed, and said in a tone that saw through everything: "Lord Chen deceived the official and didn't understand the way to solve the case, so he used big words to scare the official into being cowardly, and then wanted to delay the deadline for solving the case, right?"
"The lower official did not say that he asked for a delay in the deadline for solving the case. Chen Bufan patiently explained.
Tian Wenlin's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh, what do you say?"
"Lord Wang, you see, dozens of Hu people and girls are dressed exactly the same as each other, and none of these people have identity documents, and they can't find anyone's information in Jingzhao Mansion. Chen Bufan glanced at Tian Wenlin and said, "Where do these Hu people live, who shelters them, and what is their purpose in lurking in Luodu?"
"Oh, kind of interesting. Tian Wenlin's face slowly melted like an iceberg, and he changed to a smile, and asked: "You have solved the case well, and the official can also follow the position to get some golden light." ”
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Is there a specific issue in this case now?"
"Yes, Lord Tian, you see, from the east of the city to the butterfly garden in the middle is the Zi River, after these Hu people were found by Jin Wuwei at the east of the city, they returned to the direction of the butterfly garden from the Zishui River, but they were blocked by Jin Wuwei at the Sankong Ancient Bridge. Chen Bufan saw that Tian Wenlin was listening carefully, so he said: "Xia Guan doesn't dare to say that these Hu people are directly related to the Butterfly Garden case, but they are very suspicious of each other. ”
He bowed his hand again and said, "The lower official wants an order from Lord Tian." ”
Tian Wenlin said: "Say." ”
"Please Lord Tian give the lower officials the right to act cheaply, and you don't have to ask Lord Tian for everything within three months, everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion will provide convenience, including the two Young Yin Lords. ”
"That's right. Tian Wenlin agreed, and said: "If there is a slight hint in this case, this official can come forward to ask His Majesty for a will that you can act cheaply in Luodu, and open the way for you." ”
"Lord Xie Tian is complete. ”
"Remember, this case will be solved. Tian Wenlin respectfully bowed his hand in the direction of the imperial city and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the case must be solved within three months, and if the case cannot be solved within three months, we will lose our official positions together." ”
Chen Bufan bowed down and said, "No, the subordinate will receive the order." ”
At dawn the next day, all the officials of the Jingzhao Prefecture went out and posted notices everywhere at the Nine Gates of Luodu and the main streets of the city.
In addition to the text, there are also several portraits of celebrities on the notice.
The portrait is the masterpiece of the painter of Jingzhao Mansion, the master is painted on the face of Hu Xiu and the girl, there is a text reward under the notice, who can identify the person on the portrait, Jingzhao Mansion will reward 200 taels of silver per person, and waves of people immediately come forward to watch.
Su Ziang and Chu Tian posted notices along the cross street.
"Two adults, do you need help putting up the notice?" Diao Lezi staggered over with a group of scoundrels, clutching the fried cakes he had snatched from there.
"No, I don't. Su Ziang looked back and said, "You have eaten the fried cake, and the hundred taels of silver have all been spent?"
"The flowers are gone, and they were eaten at Yongle Building at noon that day. ”
"One hundred taels of silver went to Yongle Building for dinner?" Su Ziang asked with a look of conviction, "Did you hear that the fried caviar in Yongle Building was ordered?"
"Ordered. ”
"Did you order the golden drunken river crab?"
"Ordered. ”
"Steamed donkey meat, stir-fried bear liver must have been ordered, right?"
"I ordered it, it was all delicious, and I let Ji Laosan eat it alone. Diao Lezi spat lotus flowers, and when he thought of a hundred taels of lost silver, he was angry, kicked Ji Laosan's ass hard, and shouted: "Ji Laosan, you are a deflated grandson, you talk to Master Su, is the steamed donkey meat delicious?"
Ji Laosan lost a hundred taels of silver, honestly ate Diao's leprosy, nodded and said, "It's delicious, donkey meat is really delicious." ”
"Haha, you rangers eat donkey meat slowly, and there is a pile of donkey meat waiting for you in the back. Su Ziang smiled, thinking in his heart that he would teach the three of them some more doorways, and simply stole all the bottoms of Diao Lezi and his gang.
Chu Tian saw Diao Lezi and his party scolding and scolding away, and laughed in a low voice: "Senior Brother Su and a group of scoundrels are really not like words. ”
"It's really incomprehensible that a group of scoundrels have been eating and drinking on the crossroads by taking advantage of the loopholes of the ancient summer law. Su Ziang quickly posted several notices with his hands and feet, and said, "Senior Brother Chu, let's go and post them in Wicker Alley instead." ”
Chu Tian said: "Okay." ”
Three poles on the sun, in the wicker alley.
Four young men in gray carried two buckets of water from the wicker alley, and walked all the way to the end of the alley.
"Senior Brother Chu, be careful, these four people are cheating!" Su Ziang only glanced at the four of them, and immediately his voice was serious, and his face was like iron.
Four young men in gray were in groups of two, approaching the two of them a few steps one after the other, and suddenly, a shocking change suddenly appeared.
Two buckets of water flew for a long time, and in an instant, the water splashed, and two flat poles smashed towards Su Ziang and Chu Tian together, and the four black impermanence blades took advantage of the splashing water, like a poisonous snake blow, impermanence hooked the soul, and stabbed Su Chu and the two of them in the lower abdomen.
The figure flashed, Su Ziang and Chu Tian separated from each other against the root of the wall, one guarding the alley, and the other standing at the end of the alley, blocking all four young men in gray in the alley.
"Haha. Su Ziang waved out his Xue Chen sword and said with a playful smile: "Bold Master Qi, you dare to assassinate the imperial officials in broad daylight, do you want to rebel? ”
A young man in gray raised his head, and sure enough, it was Master Qi with big deep eye sockets, and his snake eyes were full of resentment, and he scolded: "Two little beasts, you two have cut off Grandpa Qi's wealth, and you will all die today." ”
"Haha, your middle-fingered uncle didn't come?" Su Ziang looked around and laughed: "The four little fools have come to the door by themselves, waiting to eat the ghost head knife of Jingzhao Mansion." ”
"Bang, bang, bang......" Chu Tian took out a small gong and slammed it directly, and there was a figure at the head of the alley to look at it, and when he saw the sword light and sword shadow in the alley, he quickly retracted his head.
"Insidious and shameless, to die. Master Qi's face changed when he was frightened by the sound of the gong, he roared angrily, his feet slipped, and the impermanence blade flashed with black light, stabbing Su Ziang's chest fiercely.
"Senior Brother Chu, the other party's footwork is a little strange, dragging and fighting, it takes hours, and the brothers of Jingzhao Mansion will come to reinforce immediately. Su Ziang stepped down, and the Xue Chen sword in his hand slashed obliquely, forcing Master Qi to retreat, and with a stroke of his hand, a crystal water curtain rolled up, interrupting the attack of another gray-clothed young man.
The Taihua School's primary Dao moves are simple and clear, one attack, one defense, and one volume, and prohibits disciples below the Ning Yuan Realm from using spiritual infusion magic weapons, emphasizing simplicity over complexity.
The wicker alley was very narrow, and Master Qi and another gray-clothed young man couldn't give full play to their footwork advantages, so they could only fight Su Ziang head-on.
Chu Tian's spirit sword had been destroyed, and he waved an ordinary long sword in his forehand, retreating one step at a time, and with each step back, he swung out an earth curtain technique, using the narrow terrain of Wicker Lane to stop the attack of the two gray-clothed youths.
"Kill. ”
Master Qi roared angrily, wielded the Impermanence Blade to break through the Water Curtain Technique, and attacked with the momentum, Su Ziang used the Nine Palace Escape Technique at his feet in a flash, and with a wave of his left hand, the gray-clothed young man who was with Master Qi was stunned, and his footsteps froze, but he didn't see the Water Curtain Technique appear.
"Kill. Su Ziang shouted, his momentum was like a rainbow, but the Xue Chen sword in his hand was motionless, looking at Master Qi with a playful expression.
After Master Qi suffered a loss in Zheng Qizhi's Mansion last time, he went back and thought about it, feeling that Su Ziang's Dao method was only in the Yuan Realm, and the five son lock baby rings sacrificed seemed to be only useful to the monks of the Yuan Infant Realm, so he asked his friends to take revenge.
The original plan was to splash the water on his head, and then attack him with an impermanent blade in the water light, but Su Ziang saw through it at a glance, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.
"Last time you escaped, this time you can't. Su Ziang knew that Master Qi was conceited and smart, and he never got angry, so he stabbed with his words: "Listen, the Jingzhao Mansion Brigade is coming soon, and it's all at the end of the alley." ”
Master Qi and the gray-clothed young man were startled, their eyes swept away, but they found that they did not appear quickly, so they took the impermanence blade to cover left and right alternately, and slowly approached Su Ziang, looking for an opportunity to kill him.
Chu Tian's long sword took a big step back in a circle, and the walls of the earth curtain technique rolled out one by one, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, slowly retreating to the head of the alley, and then shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Su, the brothers of Jingzhao Mansion are here." ”
"A pair of little brutes, and they are cheating again?" Master Qi scolded fiercely, and before the scolding fell, a large group of people really appeared at the end of the alley.
Su Chu and the others shouted several times that the wolf was coming, and the wolf finally came! The gray-clothed young man beside Master Qi had a confused look in his eyes, and his steps paused, revealing timidity.
"Kill!"
Su Ziang shouted, the sword light was like electricity, like a lonely cloud out of the cape, and in an instant, he changed from a young man with a grinning face to a ruthless supreme killing god.
Master Qi suddenly saw the sword light in front of him, and he was frightened, and he rolled in fright to avoid slashing, and hooked a bucket on the ground with his backhand and smashed it towards Su Ziang.
Xue Chen's sword light bypassed the bucket, and the castration was still like electricity, like a life-seeking spirit, chasing Master Qi.
On the one hand, the young man in gray jumped and stabbed with a blade in one hand, forcing Su Ziang to defend from the side, Su Ziang rolled sideways, his body lay on the ground, and stabbed Xue Chen's sword out with his backhand.
The young man in gray jumped into a big chisel, and it was expected that Su Ziang would swing his sword to block, so he borrowed the power of a grid to cast a spell and escaped, but Su Ziang did not block, and rolled to the ground, the old strength of the young man in gray was lost, and the new strength was not born, and his body crashed forward towards Xue Chen's sword.
"Poof", a sword pierced the throat.
These movements rose and fell, and at this time, in the distance, the bucket that Master Qi had just thrown out of his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the residual water in the bucket spilled all over the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang......" A gong sounded violently.
A large group of Jingzhao Mansion caught fast wicker alleys, and while running, they shouted: "Catch the thief, catch the live, catch the live." ”
The two gray-clothed young men who were fighting with Chu Tian in the distance rushed over, pulled up Master Qi, climbed the low wall on the side of Wicker Alley, threw down a Broken God Bead with a flicker, and exploded with a "bang".
Chu Tian floated away, dodged the smoke of the broken divine bead, and asked, "Senior brother is not chasing?"
"Don't chase after the poor. Su Ziang smiled, and shouted to Master Qi who was far away: "The surname Qi, remember to often come to accompany Su to practice swords." ”
Master Qi's face was pale, his heart was cold and desperate, he felt that Su Ziang did not lose to himself, he was obscene and wise, he no longer had any confidence in revenge, and only prayed that he would not meet Su Ziang again in this life.
