Chapter 4: Snowy Night, Bloody Night! (I)

Since the morning, the snow has not stopped, and the Yanjing City has become significantly colder, the most significant thing is that the countless rivers running through the Yanjing City have been covered with thick ice, and the fishing boats that were originally docked at the wharf have also been connected together, and the lively wharf has become extremely deserted on weekdays.

It was late at night, and out of nowhere came a few loud barks from the yard of a large house, but it soon turned into a whimper, like a child who had been reprimanded.

Except for the red lanterns that were still hanging outside the gate of the mansion by the big families, the entire Yanjing fell into a dead sleep, and even the faint red light was about to be extinguished in the howling wind and snow.

In front of a not magnificent but extremely solemn house, the red lantern hanging outside the door has a slightly bleak light, and the candle flame inside seems to have just been replaced, and it is a little more bright red than the lantern in front of the ordinary house, but it looks like... The color of the blood.

The main door was closed without leaving a gap, and the two ordinary meticulous gatehouses had long since disappeared, I don't know if it was because I couldn't stand the cold tonight, so I ran back to my kang head as soon as possible to warm up the wine and food, and roast the stove.

WhewW......

A cold wind struck, and large snowflakes fell from the ridge in front of the house, and were soon swept away by another gust of wind from nowhere, leaving only a few colder chills than before.

Whoosh......

A few slight cracks, like the sound of someone's cat stepping on the eaves, and a few darker figures flashed away in the night, very much like the shadows of several bats falling.

The door of the house, which had been closed, seemed to have been hit by a horse-drawn carriage moving at a very fast speed, and countless broken wood chips mixed with the biting cold wind poured into the house, and the flickering flames in the original stove in the room were suddenly pressed down, and all of them shrank into the already red furnace wall as if frightened.

The wind and snow dissipated, and the suppressed furnace fire re-revealed the flames, as if sensing that the wind had dissipated, and suddenly rose higher flames, and the whole study became much brighter because of the flames.

The stove was placed in front of the desk, and the old man sat behind the desk, on which was a freshly written letter. The pen in the old man's hand has not been put down.

Without a trace, he pressed his sleeves against the letter, and the old man looked at the figure behind the door, although there was a slight change on his face, he was still very calm overall.

"You know what kind of guilt it is to trespass into the mansion of Dr. Chao Zuolu!"

Although the old man seems to be in weak health. And he is a scholar who does not know how to practice, but his voice is full of majesty, like the master reprimanding the thief who entered his house.

"Then I don't know what kind of crime it is to fornicate with foreign enemies and leak the secrets of the court!" sneered, and the person who came did not show the slightest timidity. Walking through the already broken threshold, the words became sharper.

There was already a lit candle flame in the house, and the fire in the furnace was like a huge pillar of fire, and the old man's face became slightly red under the bright lights, as if he had smeared a layer of oil on his face.

Hearing the words of the visitor, the old man pressed his arm on the letter and did not exert a little force, but still said very calmly: "The old man doesn't understand what you are saying. ”

"Isn't what Lord Shen's subordinates are pressing evidence of your fornication with the Zhao Dynasty Xinwu Hou?"

"Even if the Heaven Survey Division has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, it will frame and smear a Zuo Lu doctor at will. I'm afraid that's not how Your Majesty has given you. ”

After the old man's voice fell, the fire that was originally several feet high had already fallen, and although the light in the room had become a little dimmed, he could still clearly see the middle-aged man in a star-white official robe.

The court clothes of the officials of the Yan Dynasty are strictly regulated, and in general, they are mainly in green and gold, but among all the official offices, there is an extremely special division "Survey of the Heavens", which means that the king patrols and hunts, which is somewhat similar to the net organization of the Qin Dynasty.

Among all the official uniforms of the Yan Dynasty, only the official uniforms of the Sky Survey Division are as bright as snow. It seems that only such clothes can hide the bloody murderous aura beneath them.

Shaking his head, the official of the Heaven Survey Division said: "The Heaven Survey Division pays attention to the conclusive evidence in handling cases, who would have thought that a famous doctor in my dynasty would actually be a guest of the Zhao Dynasty's Wuhou Mansion. ”

Hear here. The old man's face could no longer remain calm, as if he had lost the strength of his whole body, and collapsed on the yellow rosewood chair in a gloomy manner, and the letter that had been pressed under his hand fell to the ground by the cuff, revealing a layer of slightly white paper inside.

The officials of the Sky Survey Division stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper, and when they opened it, they saw that there were only four words on it: "Yan will cut Zhao". There are only these four words on the whole piece of paper, and the rest are not even marked.

"Lord Shen, sometimes you don't need evidence to handle the case of the Sky Survey Division, after all, special methods should be used in special times, but unfortunately such methods should not be used for you!"

The star-robed official took out another letter from his arms, and then threw it directly into the stove in front of him without opening it, watching the bewitching flames burn the letter to ashes.

The old man naturally understood the meaning of the star-robed official, and he also knew that tonight was destined to be a different night, and he didn't know how many people would be imprisoned in the prison of the Sky Survey Division on trumped-up charges.

The body paused slightly, a strange breath leaked out of the sleeves, a heavy muffled snort squeezed out of the throat, the old man's originally bright eyes suddenly turned gray, and a faint bloody breath began to permeate the study.

Feeling the aura on the old man's body that was beginning to weaken, the star-robed official snorted coldly, and then began to walk outside, and several black figures passed by out of nowhere, following the star-robed official out of this mansion.

In the originally clean courtyard, countless more intense bloody breaths filled the air, and a huge mansion had become extremely quiet at this time, and a crow with black feathers and red beaks stood on the thin branches that had already lost its leaves, patrolling the empty mansion like a messenger of death.

......

There is a palace located in Yanjing to the north of the imperial palace, which is even more deserted than other places, and even not a single footprint has been left on the snowy ground, which can only show that there are very few people here, or very few people who are qualified to come here.

In front of a majestic mansion, four soldiers in leather armor stood as tall as pines, their bright eyes were full of courage, and the bronze scabbard on their waists was rubbed extremely brightly.

There are not many places where such soldiers can guard the door, but this is definitely one of them, because this mansion is the Beicheng Terracotta Division, which holds all the power of the soldiers and horses in the Beicheng of Yanjing City.

The snow was still falling, even heavier than before, as if to hide all the squalor of the world.

At this time, one of the soldiers guarding the door seemed to have discovered something, and he looked a little uncertain, let go of the palm holding the hilt of the sword and rubbed his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.

Dozens of white figures came from the snow, the original star-white official uniform was covered with snow flakes, no wonder the soldier just made such a move, such clothes were indeed easy to be regarded as a lump of snow flakes kneaded together in the heavy snow.

After a slight hesitation, the soldier still stepped forward to block the comer, and said, "Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, you must not trespass at will!"

"The Sky Survey Division handles the case!"

The person who came revealed a bronze token, the edge of the token was engraved with countless scales, like a dragon coiled on its body, and the center of the token was a quaint "patrol" word, such a token did not have a few pieces in the Sky Survey Division, only those deputy directors had such a token.

Seeing that even such a token had been taken out of the Sky Survey Division, several gatekeepers suddenly knelt down, they knew that something big must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible to attract the personal attention of a deputy head of the Heaven Survey Division.

The officials of the Sky Survey Division seemed to be in a hurry, and the moment the four soldiers got out of the way, they had already crossed over, and there was not a word to spare.

Seeing more than a dozen mermaids rushing in, the four soldiers glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes, the Sky Survey Division is not a good reputation in Yanjing, I am afraid that the Soldiers and Horses Division will not be calm tonight.

"Wang... Woo ......"

A few shrill barks came from within the Terracotta Division, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps...... (To be continued.) )
