It was late at night after the birthday party, and He Yue'er was so restless that she didn't even know how she got home.

Zhao Yizhi was also uneasy. He could feel that there was going to be another turmoil in the capital, but he didn't notice anything strange. It was just a feeling.

"Chen Congwei, please come in for me." Zhao Yizhi sat in the study and shouted.

After a while, Qingtian and other nine people entered the study one after another: "Your Majesty, Zhaixing will escort He Yue'er back to his home."

"I've been restless these days. I'll check around the capital. Only two people will be left in the palace." Zhao Yizhi said to everyone.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, then they all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, four people should be left behind."

Zhao Yizhi shook his head and said: "Two people are enough. Who else has the courage to come to the palace to cause trouble? You need to be careful and thoroughly investigate all parts of the capital. The Queen Mother's birthday party has just passed, and I am afraid that some young people will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

The nine people did not agree. Zhao Yizhi glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to resist the order?"

Everyone had no choice but to agree and exit the study.

After sending Chen Congwei away, Zhao Yizhi still couldn't feel at ease. The worry in his heart still lingered, but he couldn't resolve it. He simply sat down and practiced the method of controlling gods.

Under the starry sky, after Zhai Xing escorted He Yue'er, he was running and jumping on the roofs of the houses in the capital, rushing back towards the palace.

As soon as Zhaixing arrived at the official's residence, he suddenly stopped and threw two thin needles into a dark corner.

"Ding ding."

Two thin needles were bounced away.

Zhaixing fell on the eaves of a roof, and looked at the corner quietly. After waiting for a moment, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Although he looked up at Zhaixing, his whole body was covered by a black robe, and he was hiding behind In the shadows, it is difficult to see the true face.

Zhaixing took out an iron fan from his waist and unfolded it. The fan bone and surface were all made of fine iron, extremely sharp, and shone with a cold light under the hazy moonlight.

The man and Zhai Xing were in a stalemate for a moment, then dodged into the alley behind him. Zhai Xing hesitated for a moment, jumped off the roof, and chased the man in the direction of his escape.

Two figures, one behind the other, chased each other in the alleys of the capital, flying over the walls. Zhaixing was good at concealed weapons but weak in physical strength. After turning a few corners, the man disappeared.

Zhaixing looked around carefully, stepped lightly, listened carefully, and wanted to continue to find the location of the man in black.

A man jumped down from the roof, grabbed the back of Zhai Xing's neck with one hand, pushed him to the ground, raised his fist, and hit the back of his head, smashing him to pieces.

It's actually a wooden puppet!

Star Reaching gently shook the iron fan, standing on the roof, watching his puppet being beaten to pieces and not caring. With a flick of his fingertips, several figures jumped up on the nearby roof, all looking like reaching for stars, stepping on Holding the tiles, he moved closer to the man in black.

The man in black stepped on the wall and stepped onto the roof from the alley in two or three steps. He ignored the "stars" in all directions and wanted to sneak into the night alone.

"Star Reachers" from all directions rushed to stop him, and two "Star Reachers" had already rushed towards him.

The man in black chopped the two "Star Reachers" to pieces with one strike of his hand, and their wooden hands and feet were scattered everywhere on the roof. The wooden head fell from the air, and was kicked in the air by the man in black. He kicked a "Star Reacher" behind him. This was also a puppet, and was smashed into pieces by the wooden head.

Zhaixing threw the iron fan in his hand, and the man in black leapt forward and disappeared into the night. The iron fan circled around and returned without success.

"Master, why is there so much movement on the roof in the middle of the night?"

"It must be a wild cat chasing a mouse, so just leave it alone."

"I'm afraid it's not a thief. Hurry up. Take a quick look. Don't sleep. Go quickly!"

"so troublesome!"

There was a conversation in the house, and then, a middle-aged man opened the door, walked out, and looked at the roof, which was empty.

The middle-aged man muttered: "I told you it was a wild cat a long time ago... My mother-in-law's house is really full of things..." and went into the house muttering...

"How are things going?" In the post house, Ge Cifeng wiped the tablet in his hand. It was his son Ge Yigang.

"It's all done! Don't worry, Your Highness!" A man in front of him was wrapped in a black robe and smiled sadly.

Ge Cifeng nodded silently: "No one discovered it, right?"

"No! Everything went well!" The man in black robe whispered.

"Okay, how is Zhao Fuhong? He is blind, how is his martial arts compared to before?"

"It's not as good as before. Fortunately, he practices hard qigong. Although he can't fight the enemy, he can protect himself without any problem."

Ge Cifeng sighed: "Liu Rucong and Meng Zhoulan are both dead. We don't have enough manpower. Let's keep him for now. It would be great if we can find his apprentice..."

The man in black robe followed his master's wishes and said, "Yes, his apprentice Lu Ziyou is ranked fourteenth on the top 100 list of Jianghu. He is a good player."

"Okay, let's go down." Ge Cifeng was inexplicably agitated, always talking about things he couldn't get, and it felt like a cat scratching his heart.

The man in black robe could not guess what Ge Cifeng was thinking, so he did not dare to say anything and left the room. Ge Cifeng looked at the tablet in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

In the palace, a figure descended from the sky. Lan Yue and Fan Yu, who were on duty, were instantly alert and approached the visitor from left to right.

"It's me!" Zhaixing quickly took two steps back to avoid the two men's sharp blows: "Where are the others?"

"Your Majesty sent them out to patrol the capital because he is worried that some people have been restless recently." Fan Yu said.

Zhaixing walked towards the imperial study: "It's true. I'll go see His Majesty."

As soon as Zhaixing walked outside the study door, Zhao Yizhi noticed it. Although his spiritual consciousness is now disabled, Zhao Yizhi is still aware of the situation around him.

Zhao Yizhi called out: "Come in directly. Has He Yue'er been sent back?"

Zhai Xing pushed open the door and walked in: "Back to Your Majesty, Miss He has been sent back. But I encountered some trouble when I came back. I met a man in black. I tried it out, but he ran away."

Zhao Yizhi became interested and asked quickly: "The man in black? He was still run away? What if someone else was run away? You can't even keep that person?"

Zhaixing admitted frankly: "Yes, we chased him for a while, and the man didn't show much martial arts. They were all ordinary boxing and kicking skills, but it can be seen that he has profound skills. In fact, I... suffered a little loss." Zhaixing was still a little bit. I feel sorry for those four puppets.

"Where did you meet him? Do you know what the other party is going to do?" There are not many people who can make Chen Congwei suffer a little loss, but these people are either locked up in prison and never see the light of day, or they are the powerful martial arts in the world. Giant. If such a person suddenly appears in the capital, then we must find out the details of the other party.

"But he happened to be hiding in the shadows in the courtyard wall of an ordinary house. I noticed it from there and didn't dare to take action rashly at night. When I sent puppets to test, he destroyed four of my puppets with just his fists and kicks. ."

Zhao Yizhi waved his hand: "Forget it, don't care. Even if we go now, we won't know where we went. What happened will be known tomorrow morning."

Zhaixing handed over his hand and was about to retreat, but was suddenly stopped by Zhao Yizhi: "Well... call two more people back to guard the palace..."

Zhao Yi gave in.

The night was uneventful, and the next morning it was bright and clear. Zhao Yizhi got up early, summoned Wang Zhenliang and asked, "Did anything big happen last night?"

Wang Zhenliang replied: "There was no big deal last night, but this morning... it's not a big deal either. Don't bother Your Majesty."

"It's okay, let's talk and listen."

Seeing that Zhao Yizhi was interested, Wang Zhenliang said: "Master Fu Kong, the chief officer of the Ordnance Department in the capital, has been sued."

"Oh? Fu Kong...I remembered. This man is an upright official, rigorous and humble, and a rare talent. He just has an incompetent son..." Zhao Yizhi remembered that Fu Tang, Fu Kong's son, was deceived and molested He Yue'er. Then he asked: "What happened to him? Why was he sued?"

"On his way home last night, when he passed by his neighbor's door, the neighbor accidentally poured a basin of water on him. He went to the door and started arguing with the neighbor. It was okay to argue, and the two parties went home separately. Unexpectedly, Last night, the neighbor died suddenly at home, and it was confirmed that he was killed by a sharp sword. The neighbor's family reported Fu Kong to the Yamen. At this time, the governor of the capital is reviewing the case!" Wang Zhenliang told the whole story. Come on.

Zhao Yizhi laughed dumbly: "Ha... you need to pay attention to evidence when handling a case, but the two of them had some quarrels, and they couldn't go so far as to kill people. Moreover, Fu Kong was an honest official and behaved well. Before I heard about the red and white affairs of other officials, If you come to invite me, he will not participate, and even if he does, it will only be five taels of silver. The weapons in the Ordnance Department are as bright as new, and every item is registered. How can such an officer kill someone? I don't believe it!"

Naturally, this is not what Zhao Yizhi heard. While his spiritual consciousness has not expired, no matter in the capital, no matter how big or small, cannot be investigated by Zhao Yizhi. Especially this Fu Kong, Zhao Yizhi paid special attention to it because of He Yue'er's relationship.

Wang Zhenliang's eyes rolled around, he lowered his head and replied: "Old slave, I understand."

"Hey, don't worry about it. I know what you are thinking. Don't do this. Since he has been accused, it doesn't hurt to check. Mr. Fu is an upright person and is not afraid of the shadow. I can trust him." Zhao Yizhihe After getting along with Wang Zhenliang day and night, he naturally knew that Wang Zhenliang had tested out his tone, and he was afraid that he would inform the governor of the capital and make some manipulations to please him.

"It's really not a big deal, okay, you can go down." Zhao Yizhi waved his hand, this little thing is not worth his attention.

Soon, Fu Kong's case report memorial was sandwiched among other memorials and piled on Zhao Yizhi's desk. Zhao Yizhi paid attention and flipped through it for a while before finding this chapter of the memorial.

"Fu Kong, Director of the Ordnance Department, the defendant quarreled with others and frequently killed people. The evidence is still insufficient. We need to retrial at a different date. We will temporarily imprison him."

"Well, this governor is quite strict." Zhao Yizhi closed the memorial and put it aside.

The day passed in a blink of an eye, and as night fell, every household went back to their houses to rest, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

A woman was looking forward and backward and hurried nervously. At this time, a drunk man suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked the woman's way.

"Little lady, where are you going? Aren't you afraid of the dark this late at night?" the drunk man asked with a crooked smile.

"Brother, I... seem to be lost. Where are we?" the woman asked in fear.

The drunk man patted his chest and said, "Did you see that in front? Hiccup... the residence of Feng Qi, the youngest protector of the crown prince, who is also my uncle!"

"Hey, eldest brother came to the city to find his wife? Today he found her, so he drank two more drinks when he was happy?" the woman said with a sweet smile.

"What are you looking for? My little lady, I can tell you that my uncle wouldn't even give me a hand. I went to him to borrow some money today, but he gave me a big slap in the face... Look, there's something wrong with that face. There are palm prints! You talk about playing with things to lose one's spirit... Master, if I win the bet, can I still pay it back? That's my uncle... Uh-huh." Before the drunkard could finish, the woman grabbed him by the neck.

"Don't gamble again in your next life!"
