When the Qin brothers rushed to the small courtyard, they saw a man wearing colorful striped clothes standing in the courtyard. The flying dog had fallen to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The boss of the Qin family looked deeply at the colorful figure covering his face, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. This person... is so fancy!
"Who are you, ruining our affairs? If you are a member of the same group, please give me a favor!" The boss of the Qin family thought that the person wearing such fancy clothes must not be a Jin Yiwei.
Liu Xin looked up and saw the boss of the Qin family holding two spears. His first reaction was that this person was not a little guy.
It is relatively rare in martial arts to be able to use short spears as weapons, because short spears require strong support, otherwise short spears are not as powerful as long weapons that are one inch long and one inch strong, nor are they as powerful as daggers, daggers, and daggers. As flexible as a powerful weapon.
This is a weapon that requires great talent.
For opponents holding short spears, especially those holding a short spear in each hand, Liu Xin gave them enough respect.
Enough respect is that Liu Xin took the lead in attacking!
Because he wanted to conceal his identity, he didn't bring Jin Yiwei's sword with him. Fortunately, the man who had just attacked had a dagger. He picked up the dagger with his toes. Before the dagger could be dropped, Liu Xin had already rushed out and moved his arms back. Yiyang caught the dagger just in time, and at the same time, it was just when the burly man said the word "convenient".
The eldest son of the Qin family did not expect that the other party would take action without saying a word, so he hurriedly struck back, stabbing with short spears at extremely fast speeds. When Liu Xin saw this, he really had some skills, and then relied on his body skills to directly avoid the large-scale short spear stabbing area and came to the man's side, but Liu Xin was stunned at this moment!
Because he saw something that made him very baffled and shocked physically and mentally.
He saw a man clinging to another man's back, closely touching each other!
Back to the mountain!
A new, unheard word appeared in Liu Xin's mind, but he suddenly understood the meaning of the word "Beibei Mountain".
He felt a huge chill in his heart, and he was a moment too slow to launch his attack. As a result, he stabbed back with his short spear. The man behind him glanced over, and with a roar, a black shadow fell from the sky.
call!
At the critical moment, Liu Xin gathered his thoughts and quickly avoided.
The long black shadow almost clung to Liu Xin's body.
Liu Xin jumped far away after three consecutive jumps. At this moment, a girl's exclamation came from behind.
You seem to be a bit slow to react, sister!
Liu Xin murmured in his heart, and then he saw the man behind the burly man taking a step across and walking to one side. In his hand was a spear with bright red blood on the tip, which seemed to be new. What surprised Liu Xin most was that the appearance of the two men was exactly the same.
"you wanna die!"
"you wanna die!"
The two voices spoke in unison, sounding like one person talking, which shows that the two people have an extraordinary tacit understanding!
Liu Xin quickly judged, and then saw the two men taking action at the same time, approaching Liu Xin at the same time, but the man with the short spear leaned slightly, and the spear was already drawing circles in the air, which was accumulating power.
Guys who use long weapons like to draw circles with their spears or spears. To put it nicely, they are called gun flowers. In fact, they are accumulating power and rotating at the same time to avoid surprise.
Considering that the two of them had a tacit understanding and that one plus one was far greater than the strength bonus of two, Liu Xin did not fight head-on. Instead, he started a guerrilla attack and moved to one side. However, the two identical looking men pursued him with their backs to the mountains. Come up.
In addition to not wanting to fight head-on, Liu Xin actually wanted to lure the two of them away. Otherwise, it would be terrible if the other party broke the jar and rushed into the room to kill them indiscriminately in this yard.
So Liu Xin, with his ethereal figure, gradually led the two of them out of the yard and came to the corridor nearby.
The space in the corridor is small, just enough to restrain the spear.
The twins, Beibeishan, seemed to have noticed Liu Xin's plan, so they rushed straight to the side, blocking Liu Xin in front of the corridor, and attacked Liu Xin one after another with the twins, Beibeishan. .
When Liu Xin saw that this place was some distance away from the room, he smiled and his body disappeared instantly.
The twins, Bei Beishan, all looked at each other in surprise. Their eyes searched everywhere, and finally they looked up and found Liu Xin, who was falling suddenly with a heavy weight pendant.
"Thunder drink!"
Carrying the spear back to the mountain, he felt a flash of lightning in front of his eyes, and then his whole body fell into a numb feeling. His arms that were about to lift the spear suddenly lost consciousness.
"younger brother!"
Spearback Mountain seemed to hear his brother's voice, but the numbness became stronger and stronger, and the next moment, he lost consciousness!
Short Spear Beibei Shan's eyes looked sad, because Long Spear Beibei Shan had fallen. He didn't even see Liu Xin's figure clearly just now, he only felt a colorful blurry figure falling from the sky, and then Long Spear Beibei Shan fell to the ground.
The twins of the Qin family are both warriors in the late stage of the Xiaocheng realm. Together, the two of them can even fight against the Dacheng realm, but before they use their strongest moves, one of them is already dead.
Liu Xin landed, a smile appeared on his covered mouth, and then he said: "Are you still fighting? You don't have much time!"
The short spear back mountain was stunned for a moment, and then realized what the other party meant when he said there was not much time. Their operation this time must be completed within a moment, otherwise the Jinyiwei in broad daylight are not vegetarians. Once caught, none of them can escape. This is the imperial capital!
Short Spear Beibeishan's eyes fell on Long Spear Beibeishan at Liu Xin's feet. The next moment he was shocked, because Liu Xin actually gave way to the side and pointed at the Spear Beibeishan.
Liu Xin didn't speak, but Duan Zhaobei Beishan seemed to understand what Liu Xin meant, so he hesitantly stepped forward and slowly supported Long Shao Beibei Shan. In the process, Liu Xin did not stop him.
After discovering that his brother was still alive, but in a coma, Duanzhai Beibeishan breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to leave with his brother on his back. Before leaving, he turned around and looked at Liu Xindao: "Are you also a member of the devil's path? I won't kill you today. Thank you, I remember it!"
Liu Xin didn't react at all, and turned around and left.
Duan Zhaobeibeishan looked at Liu Xin deeply, and then left in a hurry. The time was almost up, and he would not be able to leave if he didn't leave.
The corridor was not far from the room. Although the girl Xiaoli did not dare to go out of the door, she could see clearly what was going on there from a distance by sticking to the door.
When she found Liu Xin approaching, she couldn't help but want to retreat, but the countless doubts aroused in her heart stopped her. She mustered up her courage and said to Liu Xin who was walking over from a distance:
"That...your veil...oh no...that one fell off!" The girl Xiaoli didn't know what to say about the thing Liu Xin used to cover her face. She said it was a veil, but it wasn't. Man, how can you say it is a veil?
Liu Xin was stunned, his steps suddenly stopped, and then he touched his cheek, and the tied sleeves were indeed loosened. He sighed, but fortunately there were no Jin Yiwei nearby.
But the girl seemed to have seen him before. Liu Xin covered his face again and frowned slightly. At this moment, he was still twenty or thirty steps away from the girl. This distance... well, if he wasn't blind, he should be able to see clearly.
At this time, the girl Xiaoli has also discovered that Liu Xin is the young man who saved them a few days ago. Xiaoli was previously worried that this person would not be another group of bad guys if he let the gangsters go, but now she is relieved.
Xiaoli was also very smart and guessed the reason why Liu Xin covered her face. She looked back at her aunts who were still huddled behind the door. They probably didn't see it, so she took a few steps forward, attracting the attention of the aunts behind her. She exclaimed, but she continued to move forward regardless.
Liu Xin stood still, waiting for the girl to approach. The girl said, "I...I won't tell others who you are!"
"Huh?" Liu Xin was surprised, but he quickly realized it and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect this girl to be so witty. He calculated the time. The Jin Yiwei side should be reacting soon. After the killers outside retreated, Wu Hao also came in.
At this time, he didn't know that Wu Hao was lying in the corner of the small courtyard, bleeding gurglingly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Okay!" Liu Xin responded to the girl first, and then continued: "I have something to ask some ladies, is it convenient?"
The girl looked confused.
Liu Xin suddenly thought that his act of letting go of the two killers just now must be suspicious in the eyes of such a smart girl, so he explained: "I let those two killers go on purpose. The purpose is to find out the real culprit behind them. And the things I want to ask the ladies about are also related to the real culprit and... those related to the Royal Horse Sect in the Imperial City."
The doubts in the girl's eyes suddenly disappeared at first. She didn't want to ask because she trusted this brother, but she still had some doubts in her heart. But Liu Xin's words untied this knot, and the girl suddenly became happy.
However, when she heard Liu Xin's next words, especially the last sentence, she suddenly froze on the spot, then turned around suddenly and ran into the room. Then Liu Xin heard the girl's voice, followed by several women's surprises. Phew, the room seemed to be noisy all of a sudden.
Liu Xin walked forward slowly and stood at the door of the room. Everyone inside immediately looked at Liu Xin.
Liu Xin saluted from a distance. The girl probably didn't reveal her identity, and the women looked at him with wary eyes.
I must keep the story short, time is running out. Liu Xin made up his mind and was about to explain, but he heard a woman inside pretending to be calm and saying:
"We believe what Xiaoli said. She said you can help us contact the master...it must be true! Xiaoli also said that you want to ask us some questions, please ask, and we will definitely tell you everything. "
After the woman finished speaking, Liu Xin saw expectant looks on the faces of the other women.
Liu Xin nodded. Because he didn't have much time, he could only ask questions quickly and asked a few questions that he had thought about in advance. After getting the answers one by one, Liu Xin felt that he seemed to have found a key to the Yuma Supervision case.
After Liu Xin finished his question, the woman asked hesitantly: "Is this matter... we... related to our husband-in-law?"
Liu Xin understood that the woman was talking about the eight people from the Yuma Sect. Judging from the previous exchanges and the clues so far, these eight people from the Yuma Sect were as good as dead after entering the imperial city. For more than ten years, , has not had any contact with the outside world. These women do not know whether their husbands are alive or dead, and they have been living in uncertainty and pain.
Liu Xin thought for a while and decided what to do, and then said: "As far as I know, there are eight people in the imperial city who have been conducting secret research. It is related to the fate of Zhengyang. It is a major event, so they cannot contact the outside world. What can I say Not many. But from what I know, they should miss you very much."
As soon as Liu Xin finished speaking, all the women inside began to cry. Liu Xin sighed and looked at the girl, because the other women were already immersed in emotions of joy or sadness. Only the girl's eyes were just confused.
She must be too young to remember those people, Liu Xin thought, and a vague and warm figure flashed in his mind. The same thing happened to him. The image of the most important person in his memory was blurring bit by bit, and he was powerless to stop it.
"elder brother!"
Interrupted by a crisp voice, Liu Xin came to his senses and looked at the girl.
The girl Xiaoli looked at Liu Xin with determination and longing in her eyes: "Brother, can you accept me as your disciple?"
"Huh?" Liu Xin was stunned again. He was surprised a lot in front of this girl.
The girl's expression remained firm and she repeated: "I want my brother to accept me as his disciple and teach me martial arts!"
Liu Xin looked at the girl and then at the crying women in the room, and he probably understood why the girl made such a request. He squatted down. In fact, the girl was not short, but for the tall Liu Xin, she was still short.
Eye level with the girl, Liu Xin said: "I will protect you, don't worry."
"No, I want to protect my aunts on my own!" the girl interrupted Liu Xin and said firmly.
"Well..." Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I'll teach you. When this matter is over, I'll come find you!"
"Okay!" The girl didn't expect Liu Xin to agree, and she suddenly smiled.
"Okay, it's time for me to go. Remember, the conversation between us just now is a secret. Don't let others know!"
The girl nodded hard.
Liu Xin waved his hand and left quickly. At this time, Cheng Guotao had already arrived with his people, and people from the Thousand Households Office in Outer South City had also arrived, and there was a lot of people outside. Shortly after Liu Xin left, the courtyard was opened, and Cheng Guotao entered first, and soon found Wu Hao, who was seriously injured and dying.
Because of Wu Hao's injury, Cheng Guotao did not immediately ask the women and children. However, the girl Xiaoli waited for the women to calm down and then warned the aunts seriously, deliberately concealing the communication between Liu Xin and them.
When Cheng Guotao finished his business with Wu Hao and came back to inquire, because it was only a cursory inquiry, Cheng Guotao didn't even notice, and everyone hid something.
Liu Xin, who left the small courtyard, quickly found Senior Brother Cheng and asked Senior Brother Cheng to investigate clues about a woman.
"Si Yanqing? Who is this?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "A key figure. Because of her, I seem to have found the suspect!"
"Suspect?" Senior Brother Cheng frowned: "What is a suspect?"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, frowning at first, as if he had some doubts in his heart, but then he was relieved and explained: "That's the person who may be the prisoner."
"Suspect?" Senior Brother Cheng asked.
Liu Xin nodded: "That's right!"
After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "Si Yanqing is a female disciple of Yuma Sect, and she is also the wife of one of the eight Yuma Jian disciples who entered the imperial city. When I was reading information in Dongchang, It seems that I saw this person’s name, he is still alive!”
Senior Brother Cheng seemed to have caught something, and then asked: "What is her suspicion?"
Liu Xindao: "When Si Yanqing was newly married, her husband was taken away and imprisoned in the imperial city. Just when other women were waiting for their husbands to return, this Si Yanqing disappeared. And since she disappeared, the women and children of the Royal Horse Clan Their subsidies never reached their hands again. I found some clues. Because the emperor liked this group of people, he was very generous to their families. The monthly subsidy for each person reached fifty taels of silver, eight people per person. After a year, it will be 4,800 taels. After more than ten years, this number is terrible!"
Senior Brother Cheng was stunned, but he had doubts the next moment: "But this seems to have nothing to do with the Royal Horse Prison case. Now the Northern Barbarians have also appeared, and the demon warriors have also appeared. The identity of the person who can allow the demon warriors to enter the imperial capital is not simple. Xiao The younger eunuchs are involved in more and more characters, and none of them are simple characters!"
Liu Xin nodded solemnly and agreed: "That's true, but because of this, if I can solve this case, the benefits will definitely be considerable!"
...
Dongchang, in charge of the prison for thousands of households
Yuan Dongxiang is a tall and straight middle-aged man who is very strict in all aspects such as dress, behavior, and speech. He was originally the commander of the border army, but later for some reason he was favored by Mi Yusong, the admiral of Dongchang, and was directly transferred to Dongchang to be in charge of the punishment of thousands of households.
Although there are only a thousand households, the real power of officials of the same level in Dongchang is higher than that of other pro-army soldiers and even the Jinyiwei. Yuan Dongxiang's status can be compared to that of the commander of Jinyiwei.
It was almost noon, and Yuan Dongxiang put down the copywriting in his hand and ended his official duties for the morning. He looked at the sky outside the duty room and summoned a Dongchang fanzi.
"What time is it now?" Yuan Dongxiang looked at the skylight outside and asked in a calm tone.
Na Fanzi also understood Yuan Dongxiang's temperament. This Qianhu was not as arrogant and domineering as other military attachés in Dongchang, but had a rather peaceful temperament. However, compared to his peaceful temperament, this Qianhu has extremely high requirements for the rigor of official duties. So Zanzi left in a hurry, confirmed the correct time on the sundial, and then returned in a hurry to report:
"Reporting to Qianhu, it has just passed the seventh quarter of Si hour."
Yuan Dongxiang frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go out first, watch the time, and call me as soon as noon comes!"
"Yes!" Fanzi left respectfully, and then went straight to the sundial. He planned to stay there and report at noon.
Yuan Dongxiang tapped the table gently. After a while, he stood up again and arranged the books on the desk neatly. Then he came to the bonsai in the check-in room, picked up the scissors neatly placed beside him, and carefully Prune the branches and place them into a wooden box with a brush. Putting the scissors back in place, after hesitating for a moment, Yuan Dongxiang moved the scissors carefully. When he saw that the scissors and the small shovel and other tools on the side were neatly arranged, he relaxed his frown slightly.
Take the wooden box to the flower bed outside the duty room, take out the remaining branches with your hands, and scatter them evenly in the mud of the flower bed.
After finishing all this, I returned to the check-in room and put the wooden box back to its original place, just in time for the reward.
"Reporting to Qianhu, it's already noon."
Yuan Dongxiang nodded, sat down slowly, glanced at the sunshine outside, and ordered in a calm tone: "Gather a group of soldiers and follow me to the Jinyiwei."
Fanzi nodded and said yes.
"After the time has passed, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Yuan Dongxiang murmured in a low voice.
Half an hour later, Yuan Dongxiang was sitting on a tall black horse. This was the war horse he brought back from the battlefield. The relationship between them was that of the closest comrades-in-arms. The black horse's hair is black and shiny, and has been carefully groomed to look very neat.
Yuan Dongxiang was followed by a group of subordinates, more than two hundred people.
The first class in Dongchang is actually equivalent to one hundred households in Jinyiwei, and the number of people is also similar.
When the mighty Dongchang Fanzi walks on the streets of the inner city, pedestrians all look sideways and avoid it. Compared with the Jinyiwei, the people in the inner city are more afraid of Dongchang Fanzi.
The people in the outer city were just the opposite. They were more afraid of Jin Yiwei.
Yuan Dongxiang's goal was very clear. When a large number of Dongchang fans arrived outside the Qianhusuo Yamen in Neidong City, Liu Licheng seemed to have received the news in advance and was already waiting at the door.
Yuan Dongxiang's eyes narrowed. He deliberately did not let anyone come over to inform Liu Licheng. Unexpectedly, Liu Licheng had already known about it in advance. Did he bury spies in Dongchang? Yuan Dongxiang's eyes turned completely cold when he thought of this.
But what he didn't know was that Liu Licheng had already figured out his character, and even most people who came into contact with him could figure out him quickly. After all, he was too principled, too orderly, and too punctual.
Liu Licheng had long expected that at noon, Yuan Dongxiang would not be able to sit still and would definitely come to investigate in person.
"Master Yuan, I came to the Qianhu House in the Inner East City today. My place is really full of brilliance..."
"Stop talking about these useless things!" Yuan Dongxiang sat high on the horse with cold eyes. He interrupted Liu Licheng mercilessly and went straight to the topic: "You sent someone to inform me yesterday and asked me to use Dongchang's The information I investigated was exchanged with the poison clues you found here. I have completed the transaction, but you have breached the contract and exceeded the agreed time. Now I give you a chance to hand over the poison clues immediately, or follow me. See the Admiral!"
Liu Licheng actually didn't have much contact with Yuan Dongxiang. He only knew the latter's temperament, but when he felt it in person, it was different from what he imagined. But he couldn't describe this feeling for a while.
If Liu Xin were here, he would tell Liu Licheng that this feeling is called: extremely poor experience!
