After much thought, Liu Xin decided to return Pang Chunhua to Emperor Wu City.
After all, he was defeated by Xiong Er's hands, not died by Xiong Er's hands.
Losers have no say in the world.
Besides, he was the provocation in this matter.
Apart from asking Senior Brother Cheng to send someone to return Peng Chunhua to Emperor Wu City, Liu Xin did not do anything else.
He was not worried about whether Pang Chunhua had hurt his fellow apprentices.
Because if he hurt anyone in the covert investigation team, even just a scratch.
With Xiong Er's character, he would not let him go easily.
Even if he were killed on the spot, Emperor Wu City would not be able to say anything.
But since Xiong Er let him go, it means that this fight was just between them and Xiong Er won, and then he graciously let the other side go.
Since he has already failed once under Xiong Er, Liu Xin will not care about Pang Chunhua.
Of course, if it wasn't Xiong Er who made this move. Then Liu Xin will also consider the dangers of letting the tiger return to the mountain.
But precisely because that person was Xiong Er, he was not worried at all.
Xiong Er is not a bad person, nor is he a fool.
Since it can be put back, there must be a backup plan.
Before sending Pang Chunhua away, Liu Xin opened the attribute panel and took a closer look at Pang Chunhua's attribute panel.
[Name: Pang Chunhua
Age: 49
Cultivation level: Middle-grade Dacheng realm
Specialties: Axe-playing
Root bone: 7
Physical strength: 8
Intelligence: 7
Overall ability: 7.5
Qualifications: None
Best Kung Fu: Seven Axes of Breaking the Army
Evaluation: Pseudo-protagonist mode, with protagonist-level experience but no protagonist’s life. 】
After seeing this panel, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh.
He also knew something about Pang Chunhua's experience. Combined with this evaluation on the attribute panel, this guy should have some unbearable past.
The name of the King of Vengeance is not pleasant.
But he just gave himself such a nickname.
Not long after sending Pang Chunhua away, Dai De'an ordered someone to deliver a message that there was a meeting at Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen!
On the other hand, Shan Wei, who entered the inner city just before the curfew, got lost for nearly half an hour before finally finding the residence of his seventh and eighth son.
The key is that these mansions in the inner city of his mother's imperial capital are all exactly the same. Looking at it from a distance, you can't tell one, two, three, four or five.
Looking at the plaque of "Single Mansion", the fifth master was furious.
He has already thought about it. He will find someone to enlarge the plaque five or six times tomorrow.
In this way, their other brothers won't have to search for so long like him.
It also needs to be painted with gold paint and several large lanterns hung around it to make it more eye-catching.
There was no general or servant guarding the door of the house.
This is in line with the fifth master's taste. If the children of their Shan family still need help in looking after their homes and homes, they might as well die.
Entering the compound, Master Wu shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Lao Qi, Lao Ba, come out here. I'm coming for you, fifth brother!"
The sound echoed through the house.
In fact, he is not a reckless person, otherwise if he yelled like this outside the mansion, many people nearby would open their doors and yell at him.
This is the inner city, but the people in the outer city are not as timid and fearful. Every family has servants, although in the court only those with titles can have generals.
But you can't stop people from recruiting people who know martial arts as servants to look after the home and care for the home.
Especially the civil servants throughout the dynasty, who were all powerless and had to spit on the generals in the court.
What if some military general comes to your door in the middle of the night? If you don't have a guard, wouldn't you be treated like a chicken and slaughtered?
Therefore, the more civil servants' residences, the more hidden dragons and crouching tigers there are.
Hearing his fifth brother's voice, Dan Si ran out first.
He was practicing martial arts in the backyard. In less than a month, there would be Zhengyang martial arts competition. Apart from being on duty when necessary, he spent the rest of his time honing his martial arts skills.
He even turned a deaf ear to some of the things that happened in the city these past two days.
The two brothers look quite similar, except that the fifth master is taller and more handsome.
"Where's the old man? Are you still studying?"
"Fifth brother, what are you talking about? I'm not one of your warriors. I don't know how to climb over the wall. Naturally, I have to come slower."
A voice very similar to Shan Si's, but with a more bookish and elegant voice sounded from one end of the corridor.
If other people found out that these two brothers looked exactly alike when standing together, they would definitely exclaim.
In this era, it is actually extremely difficult for twins to be born.
Because this risk is so high, after the average rich person finds out that they are pregnant with twins, they will find a way to abort one and keep only one.
Dan Si Danhai's father is no ordinary person, and her mother is naturally a hero among women.
In the end, they gave birth to their brothers very smoothly.
There are eight brothers in the Shan family, but when it comes to relationships, the last four are the most harmonious.
The four above are a bit old-fashioned.
The three brothers came to the backyard, and Dan Si was no longer in a hurry to practice, and began to tinker with the food.
There are also several servants and maids in this house who are responsible for cleaning the rooms and preparing meals.
But the Shan brothers have relatively low requirements for these, so when the time comes, the maids and servants go to rest.
The Shan brothers did not wake them up, but took matters into their own hands.
The fifth master was wandering around in the yard.
Walking outside a utility room in the atrium, Master Wu suddenly frowned.
He looked towards a utility room, his ears twitching slightly.
He was still walking forward leisurely, with the same pace and weight as before.
As he slowly approached the utility room, Shan Si's cry came from behind him.
"Fifth brother, you can eat now."
Fifth Master knew that if he didn't turn around at this time, it would definitely cause some reaction.
After thinking about it again and again, he turned around and walked towards the backyard.
The three brothers of the Shan family were eating and drinking in the backyard. All three of them had excellent drinking capacity.
It's late at night after we've had enough wine and food.
Fifth Master took a shower and went to bed as if nothing was wrong.
But at midnight, he suddenly turned over and sat up, walked lightly to the window of the room, opened the window and jumped out of the window like a gust of wind.
This time he did not choose to walk on the ground, but came to the roof.
His steps were light and he didn't make any noise at all.
As a senior escort, he has experienced everything that can be encountered in the world.
In some respects, the escorts in the escort agency are actually the most experienced and seasoned people in the world.
Therefore, Yuanwei Escort Bureau uses the number of escorts escorted by the escort as the distinction between levels.
The monthly salary of escorts of different levels varies greatly.
Fifth Master did not go directly to the roof of the utility room, but chose to go to the roof of the building opposite him.
He took out a piece of red colored glass mirror and stuck it in his eye socket. Through this piece of colored glass mirror, Wu Ye could see more clearly at night.
He looked carefully at the utility room opposite.
He was ready to observe here all night. Even if the people in the utility room did not reveal anything abnormal, he was ready to continue observing. It didn't matter to him for two days or three days.
Anyone who can hide here under Shan Si's nose must be a master.
Moreover, during dinner today, he had already asked his two brothers.
The two people also understood the meaning of Master Wu's words, which directly stated that there must be no outsiders in their family.
We are all brothers from the same father and mother, so naturally it is impossible to lie to him.
So I also think that someone must have taken advantage of the fact that these two brothers didn't particularly care about the situation at home, so they secretly hid here.
In addition to the current situation of martial law in the imperial capital, the person hiding in the utility room, or even several people, may be related to the current situation in the imperial capital.
This matter must be dealt with, and if it is not handled well, it may even involve his two brothers.
The fifth master snorted coldly in his heart. No matter where Xiaoxiao was, if he had an idea for his brothers from the Shan family, he would not be lenient.
While Fifth Master climbed up to the roof and waited, Nanzhen Fusi also took advantage of the night to send out three teams.
On the sky-gazing platform, after a day of hard work and risking sudden death, Zhang Jing's eyes turned red and he finally analyzed the truly useful clues from the complex ball of wool in the Imperial Capital.
It may be difficult to find Wang Zhongjie because his cultivation level is there.
But what if it’s just the Inner City Thousand Households Office?
Although most of the Jinyi guards in the Qianhu Office in the inner city have been controlled.
But in fact, Wang Zhongjie's closest confidants are still hiding.
Especially Ying Dongning, Tao Zongxian, and Lu Bangning, the three of them were originally collected by Wang Zhongjie in the Jianghu.
They have been helping Wang Zhongjie deal with some shameful things.
They are deeply bound by interests.
Unless you are willing to give up your interests, as long as one party is caught, the other party will be caught along the way.
In fact, it is easy to say. As long as they give up their immediate interests and want to escape, it is not difficult.
After all, he has controlled Jin Yiwei for so long and knows the entire imperial capital like the back of his hand.
But will they? The answer is definitely no.
Liu Xin learned from Dai De'an that according to the existing conclusive evidence, Wang Zhongjie, as a royal guard, had embezzled tens of millions of taels of money in the past ten years.
Such a huge amount of money is almost equivalent to the tax of Zhengyang Kingdom for one year!
But the taxes from Zhengyang Kingdom must be used for disaster relief here, road construction there, building government offices, training troops, hoarding grain and grass, and so on.
It can be said that the emperor may not be as rich as Wang Zhongjie.
As Wang Zhongjie's most loyal interest community, the three brothers Ying Dongning, Tao Zongxian, and Lu Bangning will definitely benefit a lot.
And once they can help Wang Zhongjie escape, they may gain even more benefits.
This was one of the reasons that kept them in the imperial capital.
Of course, this also gives Zhang Jing a place to use his skills. If Wang Zhongjie and his confidants are determined to escape, then according to the chaotic situation during the day today, his major case writing skills will basically be useless. .
Because there is just too much information.
Although this information was useful, thousands of people were arrested in the entire Imperial City on that day.
Many underworld forces lurking in the imperial capital were uprooted.
What makes people feel numb is that these underworld forces are more or less related to Wang Zhongjie.
So Emperor Xuyang issued an order overnight to catch this man at all costs.
Even if he escapes from the imperial capital, as long as he is within the borders of Zhengyang Kingdom, he will be hunted and killed. He has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.
Even Emperor Xuyang had already thought about it. Once it was confirmed that he had escaped from the imperial capital, he would issue a pursuit order.
This is the first time in history that an emperor has issued a pursuit order.
Regardless of anything else, this alone is enough for future generations to criticize His Majesty today.
But in fact, it is understandable that the emperor initially thought that Wang Zhongjie was just greedy, but he did not expect that Wang Zhongjie was not just greedy. He was poaching the Zhengyang Kingdom and pushing the empire into an abyss of eternal destruction.
This money can raise a huge army.
It can also starve a large number of people to death.
Therefore, Emperor Xuyang's hatred for him can no longer be called hatred. But a sworn and sworn national feud!
All civil and military officials in the dynasty remained silent on this day.
Did Wang Zhongjie have any connections with people in the court? No need to think about this question, the answer is yes, that is, yes!
And there were quite a few. Almost all civil and military officials in the dynasty once had a relationship with Wang Zhongjie, the biggest leader of the Jinyiwei, in order to build relationships.
More than 90% of the civil and military people in the entire dynasty had thought of having dinner with Wang Zhongjie.
Of course, this Manchu civil and military refers to people who are qualified to go to the main hall to meet the saint.
And those who are not qualified to go to the main hall to meet the Holy Spirit are not qualified to meet Wang Zhongjie. They can only meet these people in the Qianhu Office in the inner city.
The emperor's anger needs no elaboration.
At this time, as long as someone is found to be involved with Wang Zhongjie and helps Wang Zhongjie escape, it will be a capital crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
But even so, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still knew that there must be someone daring among everyone.
After all, it was a fortune that fell from heaven.
There are many people who become officials not only for fame, profit, and power.
Profit is the easiest to obtain among the three, and it is also the most corrosive.
It is said that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
As long as you enter the door of wealth, it is difficult for anyone to take that step back.
Everyone will only stare at the more magnificent door in front of them, trying to push him away and grasp the treasure behind the door.
The desire for wealth captivates the eyes.
Dai De'an summoned all the thousands of households in Nanzhen Fusi together to assign a task.
After all, the person responsible for this major corruption case was the former commander of their Jinyi Guards.
Even if his Nanzhen Fusi actually belongs to Dongchang Mi Yusong, and even the emperor knows this, the thunder that should come will still come.
So they must make a difference in this operation.
Dai De'an's instruction to everyone is to catch Wang Zhongjie and recover the embezzled money.
Only by doing these two things can they survive this catastrophe safely.
"This time we will be divided into three groups. These three places may be where the remnants of the thousands of households in the inner city are hiding!
Liu Xin, are you in charge of a place? If Ying Dongning, Tao Zongxian, and Lu Bangning get together, they will be three great achievers. "
Dai De'an's old face showed concern.
Liu Xin couldn't help but open the attribute panel and glanced at the top of his head.
Then he nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Lord Tongzhi, my subordinates will not show off."
Dai De'an looked at everyone and nodded:
"That's right, don't show off. Once you find someone, just hold on to them tightly. Remember to release the signal. When the time comes, Dongchang and the Warrior Battalion will come to assist!"
With an order, countless Jinyi captains put on crossbows and arrows, and their scabbards came out one after another.
Liu Xin quickly arrived at one of the three locations with his Jin Yiwei.
Seeing the plaque of the mansion from a distance, a trace of surprise flashed in Liu Xin's eyes.
It turned out to be Shan Si's mansion, but I wonder if Shan Si was involved with that group of people?
But I guess it shouldn't be the case.
It is not just talk that Yuanwei Escort Agency is rich enough to rival the country.
They cooperated with the imperial court to transport military supplies.
The money earned is countless.
There are three banks in Zhengyang, one of which is run by Yuanwei Escort Agency!
Jin Yiwei quietly surrounded Shan Mansion, and Liu Xin and Luo Bei climbed over the courtyard wall together and walked slowly inside.
The fifth master hiding on the roof had already discovered them.
"Jinyiwei?"
From their actions, Wu Ye guessed their identities.
Then he guessed that the person they were talking about must be the person in the utility room.
If even one person is involved in this matter, then if he doesn't do something, his brother may be implicated.
Moreover, Lao Qi is about to participate in the Zhengyang Wushu Competition. If something like this happens at this time, it will be bad if it affects his participation in the Zhengyang Wushu Competition.
So Wu Ye made a decisive decision and jumped from the roof.
There was quite a bit of movement in this scene.
Liu Xin and Luo Bei were surprised, but they did not take out their weapons because the distance between them and the Fifth Master was still hundreds of meters.
It would be a joke to say this was a sneak attack.
And soon the two of them analyzed that this person's target was definitely not them, but somewhere in the yard.
The two looked at each other and immediately sent out a signal, and the Jin Yiwei outside began to attack.
The two of them rushed towards that courtyard.
Because there were two walls blocking them, they didn't know where the target of the black shadow jumping from the roof was.
Maybe that person is the one they are looking for, and maybe he is running away at the moment.
When Liu Xin and Luo Bei climbed over the courtyard wall and arrived at the atrium, they found three figures fighting in the atrium.
These three people turned out to be all at the Dacheng Realm, and as soon as Liu Xin and Luo Bei appeared here, another person jumped out from somewhere in the yard.
This man's cultivation level was very high and he rushed directly towards the other three people.
Liu Xin could see that this was a three-on-one situation. And he also saw that the only person who stood up to attack was the person who had just jumped from the roof.
This person looks somewhat similar to Dan Si.
Soon, this man showed his weakness under the siege of three people.
But the three men did not hesitate. After repelling him, they prepared to climb over the wall and leave.
Of course Liu Xin would not let them leave, because he had already recognized that these were Ying Dongning, Tao Zongxian, and Lu Bangning!
He stepped forward in one stride, climbed over the wall and chased after him.
Just before crossing the city wall, Liu Xin glanced at the fifth master of the Shan family and had some thoughts in his mind.
This fifth master really looks the part.
