Chapter 281: The same person says two things, a two-faced person has a three-faced heart
"I've seen it before."
"Have you found out the truth?" Yu Changren asked while shaking the blood on his iron wristband.
"No, but the way that guy dressed and talked, it was like 'I came from the palace' was engraved on his face." Zhao Xuan made a face and said, "She has no intention of hiding this."
"Obviously, this is the signal sent to us by the imperial court." Yu Changren said with a sullen face, "We have wiped out all the senior eunuchs, and the masters of the Sixth Department have finally begun to be afraid of us warriors."
"What's the purpose? Is it ears, tongue, or fingers?" Sun Qianfeng frowned.
"Both of the three, but more of the first two. The gold medal agents are usually scattered around. She can't threaten us all by herself." Zhao Xuan tapped her chin, "It seems that after this call, we have to stay in the capital.
We have been here for a long time. Maybe we can deduce the attitude of the superiors towards the gold medal catcher from the next mission assigned to us. Uproot? Kill people and silence them? Or turn a blind eye?"
"So, we can only watch helplessly as the superiors hold the knife to our neck, and then strike when we have time?"
"Lao Yu, you are right." Zhao Xuan said in a low voice.
"Don't imitate old horses!" Yu Changren got angry, "If you can't come up with an idea, just listen to me!
"If you ask me, there is something wrong with the arrest of the merchant this time. The spies have said that the old eunuch invited many masters from the south of the Yangtze River and hundreds of dead soldiers to occupy the house. How could he take the old horse away without sending a single reinforcement?
, let the three of us come here alone? The meaning of the superiors is already very clear. This is obviously to drive away wolves and devour tigers, and to make us and the eunuchs die together!
"Instead of waiting, let's apply for external transfer together and see what the higher-ups react! If it succeeds, let's go hide somewhere and wait until the princelings and Yu Dang figure it out; if not, it means the higher-ups are really going to take action on us.
Then let’s run!”
"Among us, I am the fastest runner. Why do you think I am still here?" Zhao Xuan said slowly.
Yu Changren was speechless for a moment, and Sun Qianfeng hurriedly took over the conversation: "We each have our own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This matter is of great importance. Let's wait until Lao Ma Laoguan comes back to discuss it. Shang Jianxi has just been arrested, and the eunuchs and senior officials are at large.
, the imperial court will not take action as long as it still needs us."
"That's not necessarily the case."
The three gold medal detectives jumped up, took out their weapons, and looked in the direction of the sound.
"who!"
Although the three of them are not battle-hardened, they have been surrounded by hidden arrows for half their lives. How could they not be noticed even if they were close to them?
"I."
When he saw the young man in a long gown with an iron abacus behind him turning out of the small door, Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Changren looked surprised, and Sun Qianfeng was stunned at first, and then said viciously:
"Traitor! Give me back my sword!"
…
"I tell you guys, this is a bit too much."
In the dark secret room of the hall, Zhou Shi sat down with his head straight, and was tied up tightly with several talisman papers and a red thread wrapped with copper coins.
Behind him, there was a mass of black air that appeared and disappeared, making him feel chilly at the back of his head.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, this is not our intention, it's just a precaution." Luan Chongxiang held one end of the copper coin's red string in his hand and said with a wary look on his face.
Yin Xue, the corpse exorcist, clenched her teeth tightly and stared at Zhou Shi fiercely with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Zheng Yao, on the other hand, sat carelessly on a chair, watching this scene with interest.
Rong Chengyu, who was at the head, cleared his throat and said, "Zhou Shi, don't you even know the cause of Sister Jin San's death?"
"I have already said that after I came out of Lu Chongjiu's dream, I saw Sister Jin San's body lying on the spot, and then..."
"Lies!" Yin Xue yelled, "Sister Jin's methods are very good, and the tragic death, it doesn't look like she was assassinated! You only brought a body back, and you want us to believe... believe..."
"Xiaoxue, calm down." Rong Chengyu said solemnly, turning his old eyes that refused to reveal any emotion to Zhou Shi, "Where is Lu Chongjiu now?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since I escaped from the dream."
"Didn't you hide him?" Zheng Yao said with a bad smile.
Zhou Shi remained silent. He knew that there was only one person in this room who could control him, and that person had not yet decided how to handle the matter.
Two golden lights flashed beside him, Wu Shiba and Qiu Congyun walked out of the light, walked straight to Rong Chengyu, leaned over and said something.
After hearing this, Rong Chengyu waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave. Instead of looking at Zhou Shi, he said to everyone:
"Xiao Wu and Cong Yun checked it out and it was not his fault."
When Luan Chongxiang heard this, he took back the copper wire and seemed to be secretly relieved.
Zhou Shi, who had regained his freedom, did not dare to relax. He felt that what the boss of the Kowloon Hall said had a meaning: "Although he did not do it, the suspicion cannot be ruled out."
Yin Xue, on the other hand, refused to give up: "Then Lu Chongjiu is the most suspect! Tell me, where did you hide him?"
The cold feeling at the back of Zhou Shi's head became even worse, and then his eyes began to become trance-like, and a hot feeling surged in his lower abdomen...
"Xiaoxue!" Qiu Congyun shouted sharply, "There is no suspicion of guilt! Didn't you hear what Mr. Rong said!"
Yin Xue's handsome face looked even more ferocious, but soon, all the abnormalities on Zhou Shi's body were gone.
"Everyone is very sad about the death of Jin Sansao, but we can't get into trouble because of it." Luan Chongxiang said solemnly, "Xiaoxue is right, but Lu Zhengjiu was scouted before joining the association. He is different from us.
The meeting was purely for asking for help, I really can’t think of any motive for him to harm Sister-in-law Jin San.”
"Perhaps he was deceived by others and tricked him into killing Jin Sansao in order to deal with the impact of Bai Jiaxian's disappearance?" Zheng Yao fanned the flames.
Isn't it the person who proposed to solve the Bai Jiaxian issue... Everyone present turned their attention to Zhou Shi again.
Qiu Congyun looked solemn and said: "In short, identifying the murderer and investigating the eyeless statue should be done at the same time, right?"
Rong Chengyu nodded and said: "Congyun, you, Xiao Zheng and Shiba are going to find out the whereabouts of Lu Chongjiu."
"I also need to go!"
"No. You have a restless mind and are easily fooled. Please avoid this matter."
Yin Xue sat down angrily, and Rong Chengyu continued:
"Old Luan, spread your influence outside the capital, don't just limit it to the capital city. The Eyeless Statue"
"yes."
"Zeng Xiao, you are responsible for tracking the eyeless statue and looking for the 'Cuixia Temple'. Li Yi, Zhou Shi will follow you and take Xing'er with you."
The middle-aged man who had been staying in the corner without saying a word had a stiff expression, but he still agreed.
Rong Chengyu clasped his hands together, then opened them again, and a statue with a strange shape appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"Old Luan, I leave it to you. Only you can make the effort to trace the faith of the God of Plague from the statue of Xuannan Bodhisattva."
"For divination, you need to have the right time and place. Give me a month to prepare."
Just as the situation stabilized, Zhou Shi fired another shot:
"Also, everyone, there is one more thing. Jiulongtang will be targeted by officials."
"Guan family?" Everyone was shocked.
Even the rain in Rongcheng trembled slightly, thoughtfully.
"Your actions against Shang Jianxi were not very efficient. The people who went to arrest Shang Jianxi recognized your methods and may have figured out where you came from."
"The statue of Xuannan Bodhisattva that was used as a trump card has disappeared. It is easy to think that someone from the outer sect did it." Zheng Yao spread his hands and said, "So, who discovered our trick?"
"Directly under the Ministry of Punishment, a gold medal catcher."
…
"Kowloon Hall Meeting?"
"We can do a deal."
In Shang Jianxi's small courtyard, under the moonlight, Zhou Shi faced three gold medal detectives and said calmly.
