Seeing this, Duan Qianqiu hurried to the front yard.

By the time they reached the front yard, a small part of his squad had been subdued, while the rest had laid down their arms and were gathered in the front yard, guarded by a group of guards dressed in yellow brocade and red armor, while the two vice-captains of his squad were also standing in the middle of the line, cowering like quails.

"How could the emperor's close-quartered guards in the imperial court appear here?" Duan Qianqiu's mind was racing, and he thought, "Could it be that they are the people Cheng Qinghe and Wang Bingwang said they wanted to lure over?"

He was in a daze, a person suddenly flashed in the crowd, and in the light of the torches, he saw that this person was wearing a black robe, his nose was like an eagle's hook, his cheeks were pointed and thin, his eyes were deep, his eyes were as sharp as cold arrows, and his hair was as black as ink, but his skin was extremely white, and his hands were as pale as snow.

He walked over slowly, and without seeing any movement, Duan Qianqiu felt that there was a huge force surging, there was an almost suffocating feeling, the golden stone divine skill in his body immediately reacted, and he was about to fight back, but Duan Qianqiu knew that it was really not suitable to show his martial arts at this time and place, so he took a breath of relief, bowed back and took three steps back: "Mark Duan Qianqiu of Caowei Zuoying, may I ask Mr. Why did you break into Wei Mansion?"

This person said sharply: "The imperial court sent Lord Qin Shiyao to investigate the case under the emperor's order, and anyone who dares to obstruct it will be treated as an accomplice." "The sonic boom roof tiles echoed in the yard for a long time.

At this time, there was another team of embroidered guards to open the way, and a gentle and elegant, white-faced and slightly bearded official walked in in the center, and the two official title cards held by the two guards next to him were respectively written "Qin ordered the world to inspect the salt and iron" and "the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate".

But it was Qin Shiyao!

Duan Qianqiu didn't know Qin Shiyao, but he knew that the Qin Cha, who could take the emperor close to the embroidered guards, generally had the power to kill and take away.

He hurriedly stepped aside and stood in the crowd of the guards and soldiers, huddled in a ball of quails like the others.

As soon as Qin Shiyao appeared, he stepped aside from the rest of his entourage, and then he asked the old man in black, "Pavilion Master Zuo, are you caught?"

The old man was none other than Zuo Yingyang, the sect master of Fengyun Pavilion.

Zuo Yingyang said softly: "I have already entered the mansion to search, and there will be news soon." Zuo Qingtong and the rest of the outposts watched the people of the Wei Mansion take Wang Bingwang in. Before the adults came, the surrounding area of the mansion was tightly controlled, and it was impossible for them to get out. ”

"Since Zuo Qingtong has already followed Wang Bingwang, why don't you capture him first? and let him enter Wei Dezhao's mansion, which is full of branches!"

"My younger brother is good at light skills and longitudinal techniques, tracking the traces, if you talk about martial arts, there is really no certainty of capturing Wang Bingwang alive, and Wang Bingwang has a few masters to help before entering the city, so ......"

"There's no way around it now, if you find evidence and criminals, it's okay to say, if you don't find it, with Wei Wenting's power and style, I won't be able to argue in the court. Qin Shiyao whispered a little worriedly.

Their voices were very soft, and the wind in the courtyard was fierce, and the content of their words was indeed difficult to reach their ears, but with Duan Qianqiu's skills, although the distance was a little far, they could hear it clearly.

At this time, the embroidered guard came to report that Wang Bingwang had been captured in Wei Dezhao's study, and he took Shen Weijing's head with him.

Duan Qianqiu said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect Wang Bingwang to bring Shen Weijing's head here, it must have been in that medicine box, if Fang Cai had to check that medicine box himself, I really don't know what would happen!"

Qin Shiyao's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked the embroidered guard, "What else did you find?"

The embroidered messenger replied, "There is nothing left, but there is a secret room in the study, and the door of the secret room has not yet been opened." ”

Qin Shiyao's eyes flashed, and he said: "Ask someone to break the door, and after breaking the door, report to me immediately, and no one is allowed to trespass." Search the rest of the house carefully, don't let go of any corner, and the suspicious things found are concentrated in the care of the embroidered guards. ”

At this time, Wang Bingwang and Cheng Qinghe were both taken to the front yard, the medicine box had been opened, and the head of a person treated with medicinal powder in the box was still clearly identifiable, it was Shen Weijing.

After a while, Wei Dezhao was also "invited" to the front yard.

He saw Qin Shiyao and said proudly: "Lord Qin, I am an official of the imperial court, how dare you lead troops to break into my mansion?"

Qin Shiyao sneered: "Lord Wei is so majestic, he was originally an envoy of the Son of Heaven to inspect Jiangnan, but he didn't want to wait for him to be so mad that he dared to kill and poke the Jianghuai salt and iron envoy Shen Weijing under the nose of this official.

Wei Dezhao saw the head of Shen Weijing in the medicine box at this time, and Cheng Qinghe and Wang Bingwang who were kneeling on the side, he was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, he couldn't help but "pounce" and knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Lord Qin, even if I have the courage to do it, I don't dare to kill the court officials, wronged, Lord Qin, please be clear!"

Qin Shiyao ignored him anymore, and at this time, Qin Shiyao's subordinates were waiting for the guard to report, and the secret room in the study crashed open.

Wade's face turned pale when he heard this, and his lips trembled unconsciously.

Qin Shiyao followed the guards and went straight to the secret room in the study in the inner hall.

The secret room was about two zhang square, and Qin Shiyao looked at the guards beside him after checking that there was no mechanism. They went indoors alone, and the rest waited outside.

The secret room was full of antique treasures, gold and jade, Qin Shiyao glanced at it hurriedly, and he didn't pay much attention to it, he began to look through all kinds of letters and account books in the room, the more he searched, the more ugly his face became, there was no salt and iron ukiyo-e in the inner room, but there were many account books and correspondence between Wei Dezhao and Caoyun officials who colluded to swallow the imperial court materials and then divide the stolen goods.

At the end of the search, a brocade box piled up in the gold and jade caught his attention, and he opened the unlocked brocade box, and one of the paintings inside made his blood boil.

Is the secret of the legendary peerless martial arts, the wealth of the country, and the invincible power and the art of war hidden in this painting? The prince once mentioned this matter to him, and in his speech, his covetousness for the record of the sea of blood, mountains and rivers was fully revealed, and if he could hand over this painting to the prince, it would be a miracle, but there were embroidered guards watching him outside, so how could he bring out this long scroll of mounted painting privately?

This time out on patrol, the embroidered clothes and guards are called protection, but they are actually surveillance. Before leaving, the emperor issued an edict to the embroidered guards in front of him: Even if you and others lose their lives, you must protect Lord Qin. No matter day or night, let alone near and far, you must always be by Lord Qin's side, and you must not slack off.

The emperor's thoughts, he understands!

The water in Jianghuai is too deep and dirty, and the emperor asked him to investigate, because he wanted to borrow the prince's knife and his stubborn and more serious character to deter officials from all over the country, so along the way, he killed a lot of people, all of whom were officials who were guilty of corruption, and these things were done for the emperor and for the emperor to see, because as long as the emperor felt that he was still useful and covered him, other things would be easier to do.

As a member of the princelings, the prince's mind is even clearer, that is, he wants him to spare no effort to suppress the arrogance of Cai Xun and his party.

Qin Shiyao knew that this was a chore, offending Cai Xun was sometimes more terrible than offending the emperor, because the emperor would also play cards according to the rules, and Cai Xun's mind was unpredictable, and the means of revenge were yin and ruthless, he could not be a Qincha for the rest of his life, and after returning to Yehuang City to step down as Qincha, he lost the protection of the emperor, so he could only ask for more blessings.

But now that he has difficulty riding a tiger, since the prince can keep him in the position of the top of the Imperial Court, he can also arrange a cell for him in the prison. "If it's not my person, then be my ghost!" This is the famous saying of Prince Yang Yanchen.

As soon as Qin Shiyao thought of the stakes, he felt bitter in his mouth.
