- Chapter 90 Shameless
"Four or five figures moved quickly through the night, rushing towards the same place from different directions. The movements were as fast as meteors, and they flashed past like dark streams of light on the roofs of houses. These people were leaping and flying on the roof, but they barely made a sound.
Someone arrived after a while, and the first one to fall into the alley was a middle-aged man who looked about thirty years old. Wearing a flying fish robe, a straight knife is tied to the back. He walked slowly to the deep ditch about one meter wide, squatted down, looked at it and then frowned. After checking for a while, he stood up and walked to the end of the alley.
There, leaning against the wall, was a dead body.
Half of his shoulder was missing, and there was a sword wound on his right chest. The fatal injury was on his forehead, which opened a small, round hole. The brain matter was still gurgling out, indicating that this person had died not long ago.
There were a few swishing sounds, and several other flying fish robes that arrived also fell into the alley.
"There is only one corpse, and it is expected to be a fight between people in the martial arts world. The dead one should be the person who smashed a deep groove into the bluestone pavement. It seems that he was good at using a long stick, but his weapon was not found."
Feiyupao, who arrived first, whispered a few words.
The people behind him spread out and carefully searched for traces of the other person in the alley. Some of the awakened residents on both sides of the alley opened their doors and came out, but Feiyu Pao politely persuaded them to go back.
"The Ouchi Guards Office is investigating the case. Please go back and rest, folks, and don't interfere with official duties."
The words were very polite, but Feiyupao's unique cold and arrogant image also carried an unquestionable commanding tone. The people were in awe of the flying fish robe and immediately retreated to their homes and never came out again. A minute or two later, several more flying fish robes rushed over. Ten minutes later, a large group of city patrol soldiers arrived and blocked the alley. The last ones to arrive were the police officers from Chang'an Mansion. Seeing Feiyupao here, these catchers didn't dare to come forward to talk to them, but just helped to guard the perimeter.
"It should be a deep hole made by turning the inner strength into a stick."
Feiyupao, who was the first to arrive, came to a conclusion, but his expression was not at all relaxed: "To be able to turn his inner strength into a weapon and use such a powerful move, he is at least a sixth-grade strongman. From the time when the sound of fighting was heard to when I rushed Not long after he arrived, the blood from the man's wound was still flowing, but the other man had disappeared without a trace Only the man who could block this earth-shattering blow and evacuate quickly after killing someone is feared. "
"Everyone in the martial arts community in the Imperial City has reported that they are from a master's sect, and their good use of weapons are all recorded. Do any of you remember that there is such a master of using a stick?"
he asks.
Just as everyone was shaking their heads, someone outside answered with a cold voice: "There are thirty-one stick masters of fifth grade or above who have been reported to the Yamen and are still in the imperial capital. There are no more than three people who can use such a powerful move. One can be ruled out as a servant instructor in Prince Yi's residence. The other can be ruled out as a martial arts master who has opened his apprenticeship in Beicheng. I had just arrived in the imperial capital before, and the name recorded on the record was Henggang, and he entered the city at the same time as Master Xiao."
Hearing these words, Feiyu Pao present immediately bowed and saluted.
¡°I¡¯ve met Mr. Qianhu!¡±
Among the seven thousand households in the Ouchi Guard Department, there is one person who is famous for his extraordinary memory and photographic memory. As long as he has seen things that others have seen, he can remember them and can tell them at any time. The seven thousand families in the Ouchi Guards Department each have their own strengths. The Qianhu who is respected as the Eye of God is named Liu, and his name is Liu Duxiu.
Liu Duxiu walked slowly into the alley, looked at the ground carefully by the light of the torch, then turned around and said: "The deputy commander's residence is not far from here, go and invite him."
"I am here"
The crowd outside parted, and the one-armed deputy commander Meng Wudi, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, walked in with a gloomy expression.
Everyone saluted, Meng Wudi waved his hand and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Liu Duxiu stood up, walked about three feet to the deep ditch, stood up, looked into the alley, and said: "The other person was standing here. When such a powerful stick came down, he didn't dodge at all. The stick's intention can only reach This person was shaken away just three feet in front of him, which is incredible. Sir someone did not follow the rules and did not report to the Yamen when he entered the capital city."
Meng Wudi snorted, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
"I've been here a long time ago, and I saw another person taking action."
He breathed a sigh of relief slowly, with a bit of frustration and unwillingness in his tone: "But this man has excellent Qinggong, and I can't catch him."
As soon as he said these words, everyone present took a breath. You must know that Meng Wudi's cultivation level is also on the list among the Imperial Guards, and he is known for his lightness.Being able to escape right under his nose shows how high another person's cultivation is.
"I now suspect that the man who escaped is related to the Ministry of War case."
Meng Wudi ordered: "Take the body back to the guards and search within a radius of thirty miles. Don't alarm the people. The team will be withdrawn before dawn. Inform all the city gate guards and interrogate all men in white women too. Check, I will rush back to report to the commander."
In fact, Meng Wudi did not see clearly whether that person was a man or a woman.
"Here!"
Everyone leaned over and obeyed the order, and the Feiyupao who came one after another quickly left under the leadership of their respective team leaders. Meng Wudi looked at the dead body and frowned more and more.
Just as he was about to rush to the Ouchi guard's office, a carriage suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley. He saw the driver waving to him. Meng Wudi's expression changed and he walked over quickly.
That carriage has the mark of the Ouchi Guards Department painted on it.
When they got close, the driver leaned over and saluted: "I've seen the deputy commander, Mr. Zhuo is waiting for you inside."
Meng Wudi hummed, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.
"Let's go to Qingxu Temple first."
Mr. Zhuo in the carriage looked a little unhappy. After giving instructions to the coachman, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "The commander already knows. You and I will go to Qingxu Temple to see Master Xiao first The person who died was with Master Xiao." Although the person who entered the city is not a disciple of Yiqi Guan, Master Xiao¡¯s stubborn temper Alas!"
He sighed and did not continue.
Meng Wudi also sighed, because both people in the world and the court knew that the old Taoist who was very important in front of His Majesty was famous for being a calf protector. Now something happened to the person he was looking for. Who knows if Niubi will be angry and send the Taoists who came to Beijing out to hunt down the murderer.
The most worrying thing is that the red-robed priest Taoist Hejie, who has performed several miracles before entering Beijing, has a fiery temper. But these Taoist cultivators have the best reputation. Killing their people is like slapping them in the face. That's why Zhuo Buyi shook his head and sighed. At this juncture, the imperial capital could no longer afford any more trouble.

Qilin, a tall and majestic figure, stood at the door of Hong Xiuzhao until dawn, carrying a huge package on his back and an iron rod in his hand. The man who looked like an iron tower stood there, and the people who got up for a walk early in the morning looked at him frequently. If he hadn't been carrying the paperwork for verification, he would have been taken away last night by the officers and soldiers on night patrol and the Fei Yupao from the Ouchi Guards who came after the search.
He is waiting for the cross stick.
Night Owl came half an hour ago and told him that the horizontal stick was dead. The people from the Ouchi Guards arrived at Qingxu Temple and asked to see Master Xiao. Since they were now regarded as Mo Ningzhi¡¯s guards, Master Xiao informed Mo Ningzhi immediately, and Mo Ningzhi then informed Tie Nu and Ye Xiao who had returned to Qingxu Temple. .
But Qilin doesn¡¯t believe this is true.
We separated just two hours ago, how could Henggang die?
We agreed to leave the city together at dawn to find Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan. We agreed to sworn brothers when we left the city. We agreed to find Fang Jie and take him in as a mistress. We agreed to face dangers together and wander around the world.
With so many things agreed upon, how could Henggang be willing to die? How could he keep his word?
The old lame man with red sleeves moved a bench and sat at the door. He took the pipe given to him by Fang Jie and lit it. He took a puff and exhaled a cloud of smoke. There was his wine gourd on the side of the bench, but he didn't know why, looking at the majestic man, he was not in the mood to drink.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the old cripple couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
"Are you waiting for your friend?"
The old cripple asked.
Qilin didn¡¯t look back and nodded.
"He said he came to Hongxiu Zhao last night to ask if you knew where Fang Jie had gone. We agreed to gather here and then leave the city together."
"He didn't come."
The old cripple said.
"Maybe he won't come."
Qilin turned around suddenly, stared at the old cripple with red eyes and roared: "He's not dead!"
The old lame man shook his head slowly and stopped talking.
At this moment, Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao pushed Shen Qingshan over from the other end of the street. Shen Qingshan was sitting on a wheeled cart, his face still looking frighteningly white. That night, she was knocked away by a move from a ninth-grade expert from the Sui Dynasty. It was no small miracle that she was able to escape without dying. Last night, the three of them were detained in another courtyard of the Ouchi Guards' Office and were not released until dawn.Come.
And when they were released, the three of them were very happy, because if they were allowed to leave, it meant that Fang Jie was successful. Although the three of them were not locked up in the same courtyard as Fang Jie, last night Mr. Zhuo told them that Fang Jie was taken to Changchun Garden to face the saint. If Fang Jie can seize the opportunity, their case should be suppressed temporarily.
But before they could laugh, Mr. Zhuo, who returned to the Ouchi Guards Office early in the morning, told them bad news.
The horizontal stick is dead.
The big dog looked at the burly man with trembling shoulders, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Qilin looked at Shen Qingshan with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "He said he owed you a life and had to pay it back Now he has paid it back."
Shen Qingfan lowered his head and his fingers trembled slightly.

Changchun Garden
Fang Jie stood carefully and even breathed carefully. Although the emperor sitting cross-legged on the earthen bed not far away was not tall, the oppressive feeling coming from Fang Jie's heart made him a little uneasy.
He was taken to Changchun Garden last night, but His Majesty did not see him while handling government affairs. At night, he waited in a small room in the dome house. Although there was a wooden bed, he did not dare to sleep. A eunuch came to him early this morning to see him, and when he was walking on the road, he told him that Mu Xiaoyao and the others had been released.
Regardless, this is a good sign.
On the way, Fang Jie planned to give the eunuch some banknotes, but he was so cruel that he quietly counted five one-hundred-tael bills in his sleeves, took them out and gave them to the eunuch. The eunuch who was called Eunuch Su smiled and waved his hand, saying that our family does not have the courage, and our family has no place to spend money.
Fang Jie blushed, not knowing whether he was too young or really honest.
Entering the emperor's study room, I kept beating a drum in my heart.
"The common people will be able to solve the problem and come to see Your Majesty."
He bowed politely, lowered his head and breathed slowly to calm down.
Even though he still has the thoughts of his previous life deep in his soul, he must follow the rules in this world where imperial power is supreme. Moreover, the emperors I met in my previous life were all fake emperors in TV series, but the one in front of me was the real emperor. There is a sense of novelty, but also a sense of oppression. Fang Jie really wanted to raise his head to see what the emperor looked like, whether he also had a nose, a mouth, two eyes and two legs.
"stand up"
The emperor put down the main pen in his hand, looked at the sundial outside the window and said calmly: "I have to go to court in a while, so you don't have much time. I will ask someone to put your friend back first, not that he has already I don¡¯t intend to pursue you for such a big crime. But because you are here, there is no need for them to be locked up, and none of them can escape. "
Fang Jie suddenly discovered that the emperor was very sinister.
"Before I drink this cup of tea, give me a reason not to punish your nine tribes."
The emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip, which meant that Fang Jie's time was running out.
"Master will be very sad if I die."
Fang Jie said this after holding it in for a minute.
"Shameless"
The emperor almost spit out the tea and glared at Fang Jian's two-word comment. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
