Yanzhou City was suddenly closed down in the afternoon, with officers and soldiers blocking all four gates and strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting. Immediately after, officers and soldiers patrolled the city and searched the city, causing everything in the city to be filled with smoke and smoke.
With such a big commotion, even the common people knew that there was a big trouble in the city. Some wealthy gentry who were well-informed had heard that Dongchang had ordered the search for thieves. As for the big guys in the government office, they learned from King Lu that Dongchang's
A big shot was assassinated in the city. If it was not handled properly, the entire officialdom of Yanzhou Prefecture might be implicated.
Although Zhu Yihai did not say who the big shot was, those big shots also knew the seriousness of the matter. Dongchang was not a good person, and being called a big shot by a vassal king was by no means an ordinary person. The consequences would affect the entire officialdom of the government.
Implicated, this person has basically surfaced.
But there is no official official who is not a veteran. Even if you guess who it is, since the other party has not taken the initiative to reveal his identity, he will pretend not to know, so that he can find an excuse to get away even if he settles the scores later.
But the top priority right now is to handle the matter properly.
How to handle it properly?
Of course we will go all out to catch the thief.
Even the governor and magistrate personally led the team to take command, and the people below did not dare to show off and go through the process.
Soon, Wanhuhou's heart was discovered. Under the attack of Qiao Sanxiu and Wuzhong, one was killed and the other injured.
But the blood bat that came and went without a trace disappeared like a cow in mud into the sea without a trace.
When the sky was approaching, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city found a rope hanging from the battlements in the northwest corner of the city, and there were some blood stains on the ground. They quickly reported the incident and the news was quickly sent to the palace.
After Chang Yu heard what Kuang Ren said, he glanced at Wuzhong expressionlessly: "Do you think he left or is it just to spread suspicion?"
"With his cunning, he can't guess even in his humble position." Wuzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Kuang Ren had a puzzled look on his face: "The pursuit in the city was so tight, so he naturally tied a rope and got out of the city. He wouldn't have gone to the city to tie a rope and then sneak back and hide."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhong sneered and said: "If that were the case, Blood Bat would not be known as one of the most difficult villains in the world." He paused slightly and said, "Although he was injured, it has been several hours since then, and he should have been injured long ago.
The hemostatic bandage was applied, so how could it happen that the bleeding happened again when I went out? It’s hot and I’m hiding in the wild with injuries on my body. How can I be as comfortable as in the city?”
"Are you saying that he created suspicions and made us think he had escaped from the city, so we relaxed our vigilance and stopped arresting him, but he is actually still hiding somewhere in the city?" Kuang Ren frowned.
"I can only say that it is possible. You also said that this is a suspicion formation, so none of us know whether he has left the city or not."
"That's easy. Just go to the city and see if there are any footprints to know if he has left the city." Zhu Yihai interrupted, and Wuzhong shook his head: "No need to look, there must be some!"
Zhu Yihai was startled: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to prove that he left the city..."
"Ye Bat's qigonggong is top-notch. He can use a rope to lower himself out of the city, and he can naturally return the same way." Wuzhong shook his head: "Now, except for himself, no one can guess whether he has gone out or whether the cat is somewhere in the city."
He pointed to the door and said, "Maybe it's in the palace."
Zhu Yihai looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but tremble.
"No matter where he is now, he is a lost dog and a shady street rat. He can only hide in the dark and be afraid." Chang Yu snorted coldly: "But our family can sleep comfortably."
It was extremely late at night, and the entire Yanzhou Mansion was in deep sleep. The frogs in the pond in the palace were noisy, making Chang Yu extremely upset. In fact, it was because of the pain in the wound that he couldn't sleep. He did not have a comfortable sleep as he said.
.
It wasn't until the sky got brighter that Chang Yu fell into a deep sleep.
There was a gentle knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Chen Wangting, who was on duty, immediately pressed his hand on the handle of the knife on the table.
"Old Chen, you go and have a rest." Qiao Sanxiu gently opened the door. Chen Wangting took a breath, stretched, and said softly: "The little governor has just fallen asleep, don't disturb him."
Qiao Sanxiu hummed and was about to say something when she saw Princess Zhang arriving, followed by a maid holding a plate with a bowl of ginseng soup on it.
The two of them saluted quickly, and the princess returned the gift and looked inside: "Eunuch Chang, are you awake?"
"My lord, I was hurt all night and stayed up all night. I just fell asleep," Chen Wangting said quickly.
Oh, the princess frowned and looked slightly hesitant as if she had something to say. Finally she gritted her teeth and asked, "Eunuch Chang, is this going to hurt your life?"
Chen Wangting shook his head lightly: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be dead or crippled, but the young governor is different from ordinary people. Princess, don't worry too much."
The princess then breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Eunuch Chang won't have any disabilities, will he?"
"The young governor is extraordinary." Chen Wangting smiled, and the princess couldn't ask any more. She nodded slightly and turned around.
Seeing her figure disappear, Qiao Sanxiu chuckled: "This princess cares enough about the little governor, she came to deliver soup herself early in the morning."
Chen Wangting chuckled, "It's better to say that I'm worried than concerned."
Worried? Qiao Sanxiu was startled, then realized, shook his head and sighed.
Yanzhou City is destined to be restless these two days.
Yesterday, the officers and soldiers searched the whole city and made the people on tenterhooks. But today, it was good, and there was a sensational skin cramp.
These days, dead people are common, and murder is not a rare thing, but hanging a person near the city gate and skinning him is absolutely rare!
Marquis Wanhu is very honored, this honor belongs to him.
There was a corpse hanging from a crooked willow tree near the water gate of Dongcheng. Marquis Wanhu did not survive until dawn and died, but he was lucky enough to avoid the pain of being skinned.
As a notorious adulterer in the world, Wanhuhou's reputation has even been heard by ordinary people. When they learned that he was arrested, killed and skinned, the people of Yanzhou City surrounded the northeast and watched the old executioner with a focused expression.
When peeling the skin, every inch of the knife is carefully and meticulously displayed, showing the spirit of craftsmanship.
The scene was so horrifying that many people watched the whole thing with their eyes covered.
Although Marquis Wanhu has been arrested, there is still no news about the Blood Bat. The government has not relaxed, at least as long as the young eunuch is in Yanzhou, they will not relax. They continue to cast a net across the city to hunt them over and over again. They can catch the best but not the worst.
It's okay to scare him away.
It was almost noon, and while the people of Yanzhou who had witnessed the skinning of human beings were still recalling the horrifying scene with their own eyes, another breaking news broke throughout the city.
The government posted a wanted warrant offering a reward.
Tang Ningzhong is rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver for hunting down the giant evil blood bat Tang Ningzhong, dead or alive.
Attached is the portrait.
Needless to say, this was naturally given by Chang Yu. He wanted the blood bat to be unable to survive in either black or white, and to make him a real lost dog. As for the portrait, it was described by a Wuzhong painter, and it is said that the similarity is eighty-nine points.
King Zhu Yihai of Lu heard that Chang Yu had woken up and hurriedly came to visit him, but he was so surprised that he could not speak for a long time.
The little eunuch was having lunch. His complexion was rosy as usual, and he even behaved like a normal person. When he saw him, he smiled and said hello. Zhu Yihai rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure that what he saw was a human being and not a ghost.
But it was clear that he was dying yesterday, but now...
After one night, Chang Yu had recovered 40% to 50%, the pain was gone, and his small movements were normal.
"We have a big business in Qufu and we can't delay it. Let's go with the prince for a walk after lunch." Chang Yu asked Zhu Yihai to sit down and started eating.
Zhu Yihai couldn't help but exclaimed again: "Isn't Eunuch Chang's injury a problem?"
"A few flesh wounds, nothing worth mentioning!" Chang Yu shrugged and smiled.
Um...but you didn't act like you were worth mentioning yesterday. Zhu Yihai had too many doubts but couldn't ask a single question. This little eunuch was too mysterious and mysterious.
