Chapter 1339 Situation in Beijing

 When Qin Shaoyou and the others returned to the capital, the first thing they saw was the heads hanging above the city gate.

If you are in a border town, hanging heads on top of the city is nothing new.

After all, it is necessary to scare foreigners and bandits.

But in the capital city, which is known as the "best place" among the people, hanging heads on the city walls is quite rare.

And there are not two hanging one, but more than a dozen hanging in a row.

The expressions on these heads may be ferocious or painful, but strangely, they can also make sounds.

They screamed and screamed at the top of the city, so that people passing by the city gate below did not dare to raise their heads and take a second look. They all turned pale with fright and passed quickly.

With some surprise, Qin Shaoyou asked the night watchman who had given them the order and returned to the capital with them: "Brother Cao, what is going on?"

Upon hearing this, the Baihu official named Cao explained: "Qin Qianhu has been out investigating recently, so it is normal not to know about this matter.

These people were originally the city gate guards. On the night when the king's tomb was invaded, they first attempted to kill the king. After the incident was exposed, they opened the city gate and fled, almost letting the demons wandering outside the city and the bandits find an opportunity.

Enter the city and cause disaster!

After these people were arrested, His Majesty personally issued an imperial edict to behead their heads and hang them on various gates in the capital. He also used secret techniques to trap their souls in their heads, subjecting them to constant suffering.

The severe pain of the wound and the pain of the soul caused by the wind and sun.

The purpose of this is not only to deter Chu Xiaoxiao, but also to warn a small group of people with ulterior motives in the court not to mess around..."

"I didn't expect that so many things would happen in Beijing during my absence."

Qin Shaoyou pretended to be stunned.

In his mind, he was thinking that these beheaded city gate defenders should be the group of people Cai Guizhong mentioned before.

It's a pity that not only did they fail to go down in history, but they were found and killed by Emperor Jianwu's people so quickly...

Just looking at these heads, there are actually old, weak, women and children. I don’t know if it’s the city gate defenders who were implicated in the crime, or whether they were innocent people who were killed and took credit for their crimes.

Looking at the heads on top of the city, Qin Shaoyou silently recited the salvation scriptures he learned from Monk Ma.

When passing through the city gate, Qin Shaoyou and the others were subject to very strict inspection.

The soldiers guarding the city gate did not relax at all just because they showed their identity as the Demon Suppressor of Qianhu or Baihu.

Cao Baihu, who was traveling with them, was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Qin Qianhu, ladies and gentlemen, because there have been many things happening in the capital recently, your majesty has issued a strict order, requiring all sects in the capital to conduct strict inspections and screenings, and

I’m not targeting you, please cooperate.”

"It should have been like this a long time ago." Qin Shaoyou looked reasonable and told everyone to accept the inspection well and not to embarrass the gate guards.

After the inspection was completed, the city gate guard here saluted Qin Shaoyou, thanked them with a smile for their cooperation, and sent them into the city.

After entering the city, Qin Shaoyou did not immediately go to look for Cai Guizhong and Li Erlang.

Instead, he first followed Cao Baihu back to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division to hand over the errands.

On the way to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] and [Listening] to observe the surroundings and found that the patrol force in the city had been greatly strengthened.

On the surface, the men of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were wearing armor and carrying knives, and were patrolling various parts of the city in full force.

Secretly, the editors of the editorial office, the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department, and the secret spies sent by several other yamen closely monitored the passers-by and the residents of the city.

The atmosphere in the capital became particularly depressing because of this situation.

The people did not dare to whisper to each other, and even did not dare to say hello when they met acquaintances, for fear that they would be arrested as spies by spies.

When Qin Shaoyou saw these situations, he quietly thought in his heart:

"Emperor Jianwu engaged in such a battle, not as if he was trying to arrest people, but as if he was preventing someone from continuing to destroy his good deeds... It seems that he really has a backup plan. What could it be? A prisoner gift?

?”

The gift of prisoners was originally an act of worshiping heaven.

If Emperor Jianwu held this ceremony on or before the full moon night, then in all likelihood, the sacrifice would not be to heaven and earth, but to the crazy god in the blood moon.

I just don’t know on what day this prisoner presentation ceremony will be held?

I don’t know what arrangements Emperor Jianwu made for this ceremony.

Qin Shaoyou first returned to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. In addition to handing over the task, he also had another purpose, which was to see if Sixth Sister Qin Qiaoer and the others had found any clues.

Long before the Wang Ling operation, Qin Shaoyou secretly sent a message to Qin Qiaoer, Lu Bing and others, asking them to investigate whether Emperor Jianwu had any backup methods.

If there is, we must find ways to destroy it and nip this matter in the bud.

Cao Baihu has been secretly observing Qin Shaoyou, but Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyes] and [Listening] are very hidden, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

Soon Qin Shaoyou and the others returned to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. When handing over errands, they met the sixth sister Qin Qiaoer.

Both of them were very happy and chatted very enthusiastically without hiding anything from the people next to them.

After all, their relationship is well known in the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. If Qin Shaoyou comes back and Qin Qiaoer doesn't come to see him, people will be suspicious of him.

They were talking about mutual care, and it seemed like there was no problem, but in fact, the code words were hidden in these words.

Qin Shaoyou learned from the code words spoken by Sixth Sister that they had not yet found any relevant clues about Emperor Jianwu's back-up force.

Qin Qiaoer also learned from her younger brother that Sixiu had been rescued safely, and received a piece of news that shocked her: her second sister had been found.

If there weren't some outsiders nearby, if Luo An hadn't also appeared here, Qin Qiaoer would have wanted to drag Qin Shaoyou to ask about his second sister.

Luo An was quite enthusiastic when he saw Qin Shaoyou this time.

As soon as he came over, he took Qin Shaoyou's hand and greeted him: "Hahaha, Shaoyou is back. You have worked really hard these days."

Then he praised again: "I have read the report on the Black Lotus Sect's monsters and the situation that you sent back. You are worthy of being the tiger of our Demon Suppression Department. It is really powerful. You did a great job in handling this case."

, our Demon Suppression Department blushed greatly in front of His Majesty! Wei Bao even came to me to ask for help, wanting to send you to the editing factory. Oh, he had a good idea. How could I agree to this? On the spot

I just sprayed him back."

After a pause, Luo An began to hint and win over again: "Don't worry, Shaoyou, although Commander Lu is temporarily going home to recuperate, but I am still here, and no one can take away your credit.

I have already handed your Majesty a brochure detailing your achievements one after another.

To be honest, with these achievements you have made, you are more than enough to be a governor. Being responsible for punishing thousands of households is really an incompetence. I don’t know what Commander Lu was thinking at the beginning...

But you don’t have to worry or rush, I, Luo An, will definitely help you and get the reward as soon as possible.”

Luo An's words barely made it clear: Lu Bing has stepped down, you can follow me from now on, and you will definitely be indispensable for your rapid rise!

Obviously, Luo An didn't know that all the noble people who 'valued' Qin Shaoyou would not end well.

Qin Shaoyou grinned at him, smiling very happily. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your humiliation, Lord Luo. Please take care of me in the future!"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Luo An said with satisfaction. In his opinion, this should be Qin Shaoyou's surrender.

However, this was obviously a happy thing, but for some reason, he couldn't stop shuddering.
