Flying snow was like catkins, slowly falling on the corpse leaning against the platform.

Some passers-by stopped blankly at the far end of the street, whether they were frightened or afraid to move rashly, and there was no movement for a long time.

The tip of Ye Jingtang's gun pointed diagonally at the snow, and drops of blood dripped down the tip of the gun. Sweat was steaming all over his body, forming a circle of white mist visible to the naked eye around his body, and his breathing was as heavy as a wild bull.

"Huh...huh..."

Tap tap tap——

Shang Jianli and She Long emerged from the hole created by the collision, and found that Duan Shengji had died. After feeling relieved, they lost their strength and sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Soon after, the chief arrests from all over the place came flying over, and under She Long's order, they displayed signs to clear the area and warn the surrounding area:

"The black office is doing business, and the rest are waiting to disperse!"

When Fan Qinghe jumped out of the Night Terror Hall, he had already followed him out and was always on guard outside to prevent any masters from ambushing him from the dark.

After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Fan Qinghe emerged from behind the roof and came to the Night Terror Hall after a few ups and downs:

"Night Terror Hall, how are you doing?"

"call……"

Ye Jingtang was shot three times in a row. The burden on his body was too great. The left half of his body turned blood red, and there was a pool of blood on the ground under his feet. He gasped for breath and his heart beat like thunder. After he was sure that the sound was dead, he even became dizzy.

feel:

"I'm okay, let's find a safe place to rest first..."

Fan Qinghe held Ye Jingtang's arm and was about to check the injury, but he saw Ye Jingtang staggered after taking a few steps, hitting the ground with his spear before he stood firm.

Boom~

Fan Qinghe felt anxious when he saw this, and quickly got under his arm, supported Ye Jingtang on his shoulders and walked out.

She Long and Shang Jianli were also in a state of embarrassment, but they were still better than Ye Jingtang who was covered in blood. Seeing this, they quickly turned around and ordered the chief arresters not far away:

"Come and help."

Seeing this, several chief officers came to the scene quickly to help Ye Jingtang get weapons and take away the body.

Ye Jingtang put his arm on Fan Qinghe's shoulder. He was a little tired after the bloody battle. She Long and others didn't have much fighting power. If they were in danger at this time, it was really troublesome, so he took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it to Shang Jianli:

"Duan Shengji must have helpers in the city. Let's go to the Yamen and ask someone to find the county guard here with a sign. We can mobilize the soldiers and horses from the armed camp in the city to prevent the thieves from taking risks."

Seeing this, Shang Jianli quickly asked a chief constable to find the county guard to mobilize troops, and followed him to the Yamen in the city...

——

The sudden turmoil caused the entire Jinyang City to fall into silence.

Everyone walked out of the room and looked towards the direction of Dongshi. Even the Jianghu people who liked to join in the fun maintained the most basic sense of awe at this time, watching from a distance of less than half a mile and not daring to cross the Leichi.

On Jin Street, the county governor Wang Ning and some officials came to the window to watch.

When County Sheriff Wang saw the commotion, he wanted to send someone to capture the robbers, but when he found that the two of them fought and destroyed several streets in the blink of an eye, he silently closed his mouth. Just as he was hiding behind the guards and watching, a government servant quickly came up

Coming upstairs, holding a sign in both hands:

"Sir, go back to the Yamen quickly. What just seemed to be a night terror in the capital, Mr. Tang Ye..."

Commander Wang was slightly startled when he heard this. He turned around and saw the gold medal that said, "I am here in person" and staggered again.

Wang Ningneng worked as a county guard at the gateway to Yazhou, and must have had a close relationship with the commander of the Yazhou army, Duke Zhenguo Wang Yin, who was the empress's uncle.

Recently, the empress intends to confer Ye Jingtang with the title of Lord Wu'an. Although it has not been officially announced yet, decisions related to the situation of the world will definitely be discussed with the Duke of Zhen and other close ministers. Wang Ning also learned the news in advance.

Duke Wu'an is the Duke of the country. He has the first rank of real title, and his status is only lower than that of princes and county kings. In the absence of a vassal king in Yazhou, only the Duke of Zhenguo, Wang Yin, can sit on an equal footing, and the rest are standing and being scolded. He is

Even the county governors from all over the country are not qualified to sit at the same table when they go to the mansion to have a banquet.

Secondly, Ye Jingtang is the deputy commander of the Hei Yamen. He is basically the leader of the Hei Yamen. He is not under the control of the six departments and directly obeys the orders of the emperor. He has thousands of spies under his command, and his powers and duties are exactly the same as those of the "Nine Thousand Years Old" who had the exclusive power of eunuchs in history.

That's all. He still holds the gold medal of "I am here in person". This card can be killed first and then played, and the army can be mobilized above. It is impossible for anyone who is not the empress' absolute confidant to hold it. Disobedience is no different from resisting the decree and treason.

Wang Ning, a local official, if he is named by such a Tai Sui master, not to mention offending, even if he just fails to serve him well, he may be thrown into Tiannan to herd sheep in two days because he steps into the Yamen with his left foot first and is suspected of contempt for the imperial power.

.

When Wang Ning saw the gold medal, he woke up from the drunkenness. He quickly picked up his robe and ran downstairs, urging at the same time:

"You guys entertain the foreign envoys well, and the others call all the officials in the city for me, including the cooks, singers, dancers and Jin Jie Pai. They are all waiting..."

"Yes Yes……"

"Sir, please slow down and watch out for the stairs..."

…

At the same time, in another room at the back of the building complex.

The minister, Li Si, clasped his hands behind his back and frowned. After waiting for a long time to see any new movement in the city, he asked:

"Who died?"

Shen Lin had just discovered that Duanshengji and Ye Jingtang were fighting, and wanted to bring someone over to help.

But Wu Kui's life-and-death fight lasted only a few breaths. Before he could figure out how many people Ye Jingtang brought, the fighting was already over.

Although he couldn't see the situation on the street, Shen Lin already judged the outcome just by listening to the noise, and shook his head and sighed:

"The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to provide assistance. The hidden child trained by the national master was in vain."

Li Si's hands behind his back tightened. Hearing these words, it was as if a piece of flesh had been cut out of his chest.

Duan Shengji was an important figure buried in the Wei Dynasty in Beiliang. Not only did he lose many connections after his death, he had just promised to hire someone, but when he turned around, his trump card was stolen. This also made Shen Lin

What to use for layout?

"Mr. Shen...do you have any ideas now?"

Shen Lin was good at planning, but he also had to have useful people under his command to implement the plan. Seeing that Duan Shengji was gone, he also noticed the evil sect of the Night Terror Hall, and he felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, and he said:

"Ye Jingtang suddenly arrived in Jinyang. They should have found out the whereabouts of Duan Shengji from somewhere. I'm afraid..."

Li Si was silent for a while, but still cheered up and said:

"Even if Ye Jingtang knows that you are here, as long as the Southern Dynasty does not want to fight, he cannot seize the foreign envoys without authorization. You can stay with me without any worries. As for what your Majesty has told you... He has already sent someone to invite Hua Ling. , King Zuo Xian also sent his elite men to help out, plus these people under my command, as long as we find an opportunity, it will not be difficult to get rid of the Night Terror Hall."

Shen Lin knew that Hua Ling was only ranked below the Four Saints and was more powerful than Duan Sheng Ji, but in his heart he still preferred Duan Sheng Ji.

After all, Duan Shengji was a person trained by the Imperial Master. He was absolutely loyal to Beiliang and could help Beiliang get rid of serious troubles, without caring about his life.

And Hua Ling is a knight errant. No matter how many benefits he is given, he will always try to save himself for self-protection. If the situation goes wrong, he will definitely leave.

But now that Duanshengji was dead, Shen Lin had no choice but to nod slightly.

While the two were talking, there was a sound of rumbles in the corridor outside, and then soft words rang out:

"Mr. Li, what happened outside? My classmates in the academy are all asking and want to go see the fun..."

Li Siman's face was gloomy, but he immediately calmed down and returned to the appearance that a famous teacher should have. He turned around and said with a smile:

"There are some knights in the city causing trouble. It has nothing to do with us. Let them stay indoors. If they run around at night, they will be punished by copying the Book of Rites ten times."

"okay."

Gulu gulu...

The sound gradually faded away.

Shen Lin stood with his hands behind his hands, thinking secretly for a moment without any clue, so he stopped thinking about it and turned to ask:

"The song "Yun Song Ling" just now was written by this girl? She seems to be in poor health."

Li Si closed the window and sat down by the tea table:

"Master Hua's little granddaughter is well-known in Yanjing for her erudition and talent. However, her martial arts training went wrong when she was young, and she has trouble walking. I followed her this time to see Dr. Wang."

Shen Lin nodded slightly, said nothing, and continued to discuss the next countermeasures...

——

It was already late at night, but the lights in Jinyang City did not decrease but increased.

Brigades of officers and soldiers, carrying shields and guns, poured in from the streets and surrounded the government office in the east of the city. The nearby blocks were cleared out, and there were three posts, one post, five steps, and one sentry. Even the sparrows passing by had to be caught and inspected.

The three doors of the government office were wide open. The government officers in black and green robes stood upright on both sides of the road with swords in their hands. More than forty officials, big and small, walked in quickly with their robes in hand.

Tap tap tap...

"Master Li, what's going on?"

"It seems that an imperial envoy came to the capital for an unannounced visit. He was assassinated just now in the city..."

"Mother! How dare an imperial envoy commit an assassination?!"

…

Behind the government office, there is a room facing the garden.

Outside the door, two chief catchers dressed in black stood with their swords in their hands, scanning the surroundings with concentration, while the birds squatted on the ridge of the roof and watched.

In the room, four lampstands were placed on both sides of the screen, and the bright yellow light illuminated the large room. These antiques were placed on the treasure shelves.

Behind the screen is a dark golden nanmu chess couch, and on the chess table are some wound medicine and the Chilong Ring Head Sword.

Ye Jingtang took off his outer robe and left his upper body naked. He sat on the couch and his face looked slightly pale, but his temperament remained calm.

Fan Qinghe's fair hands were stained with a lot of blood. He knelt down beside him and dealt with the shocking wounds on his shoulders. From time to time he would whisper:

"Does it hurt?"

After the fight in the Night Terror Hall, my shoulder was definitely in pain since I didn’t receive anesthesia.
