Chapter 8. Undercurrents in the Imperial Capital

Anle Palace, solemn and majestic, the vermilion gate is now wide open, twenty mighty families will guard the gate, through the gate, the courtyard is patchwork, the scenery is quiet, the regulations are the same as the royal princes, which shows that Emperor Yunhui treats Nine-thousand-year-old Cao Ya's reliance.

"Call-"

The horse was stopped suddenly, and outside the palace, a blue-robed official suddenly jumped down, and it was Liu Ping, the captain of the imperial guards.

"Who's here?" Seeing that Liu Ping was about to enter the mansion quickly, the family officer immediately stopped Liu Duwei.

Liu Duwei said anxiously: "Your official, Lieutenant Liu Ping of the Forbidden Guard Battalion, has something important to see Jiu Qiansui, and I ask the general to pass it on for you."

"Wait here." The family general left a sentence coldly, and walked quickly to the inner hall to pass the word.

After a while, the family general came out from the inner hall, and said to Liu Duwei: "My lord is not feeling well today, it is inconvenient to see guests, please ask Liu Duwei to come back another day." After speaking, he looked down at the letter in his hand, "By the way, this is a letter from the prince to Captain Liu."

Liu Duwei took the letter and was about to open it when the general suddenly pressed his hand.

"Please go back and look at it, Captain Captain."

"No." Liu Duwei replied, carefully put the letter in his arms, and left Anle Palace.

When Liu Duwei returned to the front hall of the imperial guard camp, before he had time to open the letter, the voice of the imperial guard soldier sounded.

"My lord, it's not good. The Town God's Temple on the outskirts of the city caught fire last night, and people were killed!"

Liu Duwei was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously, "How many people died?"

Xiao Bing replied: "It is reported that seven people were burned beyond recognition."

Liu Duwei's face darkened, and he waved his hand to signal the little soldiers to retreat first. After careful calculation, Shangguan Yun took people out last night and hasn't returned yet. There were six people just now. If Qi Ziyuan was the seventh person, how could he catch fire and die together? ?

Thinking of this, Liu Duwei hastily took out the letter paper in his arms, and saw on it that it was written - the aftermath is not in order, please come to see me.

Liu Duwei only felt a burst of cold sweat coming out of his vest, he burned the letter tremblingly, and took several breaths in succession to calm himself down.

Ever since the Gu worm appeared, Liu Ping's heart has not been at peace for a moment.At the beginning, I shouldn't have been greedy, and I made an agreement with the state of Jin. I thought that if I got close to King Anle and donated the gold and silver I got, I would be able to escape from the control of the state of Jin under the protection of King Anle, and live in peace. The favor that was given to him has turned into what it is today.

It is not a trivial matter that the Imperial Guard camp lost six people. It was not a trivial matter. I was going to discuss this matter with King An Le today, but King An Le avoided it. Now it seems that he wants to get out of the matter and sit and watch how the Imperial Guard camp will deal with the aftermath.

If he offended Jin State, those little bugs would haunt him for the rest of his life; if he offended King An Le, he might only have a few days left in his life.

Liu Duwei was worried, thinking about it, only regretted why he didn't take action himself yesterday, and sent an ineffective Shangguanyun to deal with Qi Ziyuan, which caused today's troublesome things.

Yesterday he didn't deal with Qi Ziyuan on the spot because he saw that Jiu Qiansui didn't want to get involved, so he sent the head to the imperial guard camp to let him deal with the aftermath.So Liu Ping asked Qi Ziyuan to leave the camp on leave. If Qi Ziyuan died during the leave, it would have nothing to do with Nine Thousand Years.At this time, as long as Zi Yuan'an is charged with the crime of colluding with witches and people with the intention of causing chaos in Lin'an, and then asks for an order to investigate the inside and outside of Lin'an and capture the other Jin people who are hiding, he can rest easy from now on.

But why did things become like this?

"Sir, it's not good, it's not good."

Liu Duwei became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, but there were more and more annoyances, and this moment of silence was broken by the soldier who came to report.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"I found on these seven charred corpses... the badges of our imperial guards..."

Liu Duwei asked anxiously: "How many waist cards?"

"Seven."

Captain Liu's brows could finally be relaxed, and he waved his hand: "Give me an order to properly dispose of the corpse, you step back first."

"promise!"

Watching Xiao Bing exit the front hall, Liu Duwei finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

The appearance of seven waist cards proves that there must be Qi Ziyuan among the seven corpses, so things will be much easier.Regardless of how the fire in the Town God's Temple started, as long as Qi Ziyuan died.

Thinking of this, Liu Duwei went to the case, picked up his pen and ink, and quickly wrote today's events on the booklet - he said that the school lieutenant Qi Ziyuan colluded with the Jin State witches to cause trouble, the incident was revealed, and he escaped overnight.Captain Shangguan Yun led people to arrest him, met Qi Ziyuan and fought to the death in the Temple of the City God, and finally accidentally knocked down the candles in the Temple of the City God, and died in the line of duty.Liu Ping asked for an order to investigate the witches and search Lin'an, so as to ensure that Lin'an is peaceful and there will be no more disturbances by witches.

After writing, Liu Duwei smiled darkly, and murmured: "From now on, I will still be the captain of Dayun's imperial guard, a native of Jin, and you can no longer order me around, hahahaha."

The two countries of Yunnan and Jin have always been at odds with each other, and every few months, there are always reports of battles coming from the border.Emperor Yunhui hated the state of Jin for disturbing the border, and he even hated the witches of Jin for harming people with Gu insects. When he received this booklet, he immediately ordered the imperial guards to thoroughly investigate the witches in Lin'an City.

Liu Duwei's holy decree was in his hands, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered the imperial guards to search the city up and down.

Overnight, everyone in Lin'an City was in danger, and the guards from the Imperial Guard battalion moved aggressively between the alleys, breaking the peace and tranquility of Lin'an City.

A crescent moon climbed up the treetops, a few thin clouds misty the sky, Lin'an brothel and willow lanes, and finally became the place where the imperial guards searched.

Drunk tonight, drunk, dreaming and dying, drunk, singing and dancing.

"Drunk with you tonight, happy dreams are always lingering. I advise you to have another drink..." Su Zhexue was carrying the jug, her face stained with seven points of drunkenness, wandering among the pleasure-seekers, humming a little song, While pouring wine for the pleasure-seekers with a charming smile, the song was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the imperial guards before the song was finished.

The old bustard greeted her with a smile, "Masters, our place is a place for pleasure, don't barge in like this in such a murderous manner, it's not a big deal to scare our girls here, if it disturbs the interest of other young masters, it's a big deal." It's a big deal."

"The imperial guards are searching for witches, and none of the people present are allowed to leave Zui Tonight!" The captain in charge took out his badge and shouted loudly.

Su Zhexue's smile froze, she subconsciously glanced at the back hall, walked up quickly, and said with a smile: "Even if the official is handling the case, his voice is quieter, it really disturbed the people you can't offend, and missed you." His official career will not be good."

The captain couldn't help looking at Su Zhexue a few more times, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Miss Su, don't worry, we're just searching as usual."

"Even as usual, you should keep your voice down." As he said, Su Zhexue reached out and hooked the captain's neck, leaned over the flagon, and gently fed him a sip of wine. Gan, Zhexue can't make any money anymore, if mom doesn't tear your mouth, you won't be able to drink such good wine in the future."

After drinking the wine, he didn't know whether he was intoxicated or intoxicated. The captain only felt that his legs were soft, and couldn't help touching Su Zhexue's waist. Abrupt, abrupt."

Su Zhexue smiled and fed him another sip of wine, and took the captain to sit in the banquet, "Here are all familiar benefactors, even if you are interrogating, please keep your voice down, don't ruin Zhexue's livelihood, In the future, there will be fewer benefactors."

"That's it! That's it!" The captain nodded again and again, and ordered the other guards to check, "Be polite, and don't offend Miss Su. Jin country witches will definitely not have household registration, and you will check one by one according to the booklet. Household registration, if anyone makes a mistake, they will be brought back to the guard camp for interrogation."

Su Zhexue smiled slightly, and gave the bustard a wink.

The old bustard nodded, and deliberately raised her voice and said: "Several officials will check slowly, let me go to the kitchen to order one or two, serve some wine and food for you officials, and leave after the officials have finished their business and are full. "After speaking, the bustard retreated to the backyard.

"Thank you, mother." After the captain laughed, he hooked Su Zhexue's shoulder, and kept rubbing his fingertips on the pure white skin on her shoulder, "Miss Su is really a wonderful place here, it seems that I will also Come and cheer more."

"Your Excellency is willing to come and support you, and Zhexue will take care of you." Saying that, Su Zhexue simply snuggled into the captain's arms, and looked at the captain with a smile - only to see that the captain's eyes were blurred and burning, and he was already dizzy. I don't know where I am now?

Under the temptation of Su Zhexue, the captain drank a lot of glasses of wine, and his fingers became more and more presumptuous. He ignored Su Zhexue's belt in full view and asked with a wicked smile. : "I don't know how much gold and silver it will cost to spend a good night with Miss Su?"

Su Zhexue blinked, and pressed his hand with a blushing face, "I'm afraid you can't afford it, sir."

"Even if I lose everything, I want to have a good night with Miss Su, as long as I say a word..."

"Breakdown?"

Su Zhexue smiled faintly, and looked around at the people in the front hall. Those people's eyes were full of jealousy, but they also hid the fire of anticipation. There are too many people in Lin'an who want to spend a good night with Su Zhexue, but The bustard is always difficult to pass, no one knows how much gold and silver it will take in exchange for Su Zhexue's ecstasy overnight.

"I'm afraid you'll go bankrupt, and you won't be able to buy Miss Su for a moment!" Suddenly hearing a sharp shout, the captain's interest was spoiled, and he jumped up from his seat angrily.

"What are you..." The lieutenant just swallowed half of what he said, and he swallowed it back abruptly, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "I didn't know that Major General Shen was here. I'm rude to my humble position, rude to my humble position."

The person who came was none other than the only son of General Zhen Guo, Major General Shen Yuan.

He is a young man with high ambitions and high spirits. He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He is full of heroism between his brows. He is wearing a light armor with arrow sleeves. Looking at him in the hall, he looks like a god general in the sky, with a graceful appearance.

Shen Yuan glanced at Su Zhexue, Su Zhexue showed an aggrieved smile just right, lowered his head, and fastened the belt that was torn off just now.

Shen Yuan only felt jealous, stepped forward, and slapped the captain hard, "Tell Liu Ping, from now on, if someone from the imperial guards comes to get drunk and mess up the scene tonight, come one, I'll hit one." !"

"But the humble job is to investigate..."

"With this young general here, what kind of thief would dare to get drunk tonight?" Shen Yuan slapped the captain again, "Get out!"

"promise……"

The captain felt ashamed at the moment, hurriedly greeted his subordinates, and left here quickly.

Shen Yuan strode up to Su Zhexue, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, half blaming her, half heartbroken, and said: "Next time I won't listen to you again, even if I sleep here when I'm drunk, I won't go there again." Rest in the hall, so that those who don't know how to flatter you will come to despise you again."

"Major General Shen is serious, Zhexue is very flattered." Su Zhexue bowed his head and bowed, and withdrew his hand just right, "General Mo Nu, let Zhexue go into the backyard to take a bath and change clothes, and then come back and give the general a dance." Add to the fun, okay?" As he spoke, he moved closer to Shen Yuan, and said with a smile, "The smell of that man just now is really stinky, I'm afraid the Zhexue will smell like General Shen."

Shen Yuan grinned, nodded to indicate yes, and watched Su Zhexue walk into the inner hall.

The old bustard brushed past Su Zhexue, saw that the guards had already disappeared, and couldn't help but sighed: "These officials have disappeared, what should I do with the food and drinks that I have spread?"

Shen Yuan smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, everything will be accounted for by the Major General. I just thanked my mother for waking me up, otherwise Miss Su's advantage will be taken by that stinky brat!"

The old bustard shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy to make a living these days, Zhexue and I are weak women, and we need to rely on the care of General Shen in the future."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say."
