Chapter two hundred and fifty second closing the net
"Damn it, I've been sitting here every day, and I'm almost out of sight. When will this end?"
"Isn't that right? It's been seven or eight days. Let's stay here and not even see a ghost!"
"Be careful. Your Majesty asked us to guard you. It's natural that you have your own purpose, and we won't lose a penny of wages. We'll have a long vacation later, which is enough for you to enjoy!"
In an inconspicuous civilian courtyard in the North Outer City, four sturdy men in fine attire sat around, complaining to each other. Summit 23S.

"Third brother is right. We...ah...well, how could I see a double image?"
One of them suddenly shook his body as he was mid-sentence.
"Third brother, something's wrong, I'm dizzy..."
Immediately afterwards, the other person also shook his head vigorously.
"not good!"
The leader, who had the highest cultivation level, felt his heart tremble and stood up suddenly. Before he could react, he fell on the table and knocked over the table full of food and wine.
Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, several capable and masked figures climbed over the wall, took out tendon ropes, and tied up the four people's hands and feet, while others went to the house to investigate.
Bang!
Before he could get close, the door suddenly shattered, and a majestic figure rushed out, knocking the man away.
"Hey, you're a bunch of bastards. I've long expected that there will be some moths, and they've sent them to your door to look for you..."
The muscular man laughed wildly, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and was about to hit the person who was knocked away.
Buzz!
At this moment, there was a thunderous sound, followed by a flash of black light, and a sharp arrow penetrated the big man's chest, causing a burst of blood!
"No. 7, heal!"
Although the others were not frightened, they rushed towards the staggering big man who was about to fall to the ground in an orderly manner, and before he could react, they knocked him to the ground.
Regardless of life or death, he took out the tendon rope and tied it up randomly.
After everything was settled, everyone was escorted into the house. One of them took out an exquisite jade bottle, uncorked it, and shook it under one person's nose.
"Oh, why do you have a headache? Well, who are you?"
The man shook his heavy head and seemed to reach out to rub his brow, but his hands and feet were tied. He instantly realized something was wrong and screamed in surprise.
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, he received a heavy punch in the stomach, causing him to spit out messes all over the floor.
"I ask, you answer, if there is even half a lie, he will be your fate!"
The leading masked man pointed at the muscular man with weak breath and said coldly.
"You, you...you are brave, knowing that he is...ah wuwu!"
The man panicked and screamed with anger, but before he could finish his words, he felt severe pain in his leg, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
On his thigh, there was a dagger that was completely embedded in his thigh. The masked man who took action not only covered his mouth, but also twisted the dagger indifferently.
"Woo!"
This person almost fainted from the pain, with tears and runny nose streaming out, and he kept sobbing and nodding.
"Where is Liu Tiegen?"
The masked man said coldly.
"Uh, Liu Da is dead! Ah woo hoo!"
The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and before he finished speaking, he was stabbed in the leg again.
Not only that, the thighs and calves were stabbed three times and six holes were made, and blood flowed all over the floor!
"You'd better answer honestly, otherwise, your mother-in-law and baby will have nothing to rely on!"
The masked man said solemnly.
"You...you are unethical and will not bring harm to your wife, children and family. You..."
This person looked frightened and panicked. When he saw the person who took action, he did not blink his eyelids from beginning to end. He finally lowered his head and said, "Since you can find this place and find out the little family's background, you must know that I am just a
Zhao Shilang's family is an ordinary nursing home, how can he know the secrets of the mansion?"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. You know Liu Tiegen. If you tell me where he is, not only will your life be spared, but there will also be benefits you can't think of!"
The masked man snorted coldly, and the implication was that he gave a sweet date a stick.
It's just that this stick is too scary. It has three swords and six holes, and not everyone can bear it!
"Sir, please spare me. I only know that Liu Tiegen committed adultery with his maid Cuizhu. He was shot to death by the commander on the spot and his body was sent back to the capital!"
This man's face was as pale as a mourning heir, and he did not dare to think of any good things.
The masked men looked at each other, and one of them suddenly took action, pointing a finger at a key point on his neck, knocking him out.
Next, they followed the same method and tortured them one by one, and the information obtained was almost the same.
Even the big man who was about to die was not spared. Perhaps his injuries were not that serious, or he was very tough and managed to survive the torture.
Although no useful information was obtained, the masked man was not discouraged. He packed the five people into sacks in an orderly manner and carried them to the carriage that had been parked outside.
During the whole process, except for the sound of the strong man's voice, there was almost no movement. The vigorous and resolute style showed the style of the army!
Even if people outside heard it, they would just think it was a gang fight. This kind of thing is too normal.
And what happened in the small courtyard happened not only in the North City, but also in the West City and the East City, with no fewer than ten places.
…
At the same time, encrypted secret messages were sent one after another to Prince Wu's mansion using extremely special techniques.
The huge room in the Ciyun Garden warehouse was completely empty, with only one wall covered with names of people, connected by densely packed silk threads of various colors, like a spider web!
The beautiful red lotus eyes looked around curiously, looking at this and that, with her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowning from time to time.
This is the forbidden area of Prince Wu's Mansion. Except for Wu Ming, only Wu Fu can come and go freely, and Wu Fu's bedroom is on the side of the warehouse.
I've been here for nearly three years, and this is the first time I've come in.
I had heard a lot of rumors about the warehouse, but when I saw it, Honglian couldn't help but be disappointed. It was completely different from the rumors.
It is rumored that the warehouse contains various treasures left by the old prince, including the mysterious firearms that have shown their power in the capital several times, and the fireworks that are still talked about and that are brilliant all over the city.
Little did I know that these things had long been collected by Wu Ming in Longyi, just for fear that someone would not be able to resist peeping and spread the word.
Even if Wu Fu is in charge, there is no guarantee that someone will be watching!
After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days!
"Huh? Honglian, focus on it. If you don't see the key here, just copy the "Hundred Strategies Collection" ten times."
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows as if aware.
"Yes, Master!"
Honglian's little face turned bitter and she almost didn't cry.
"Baicai Ji" is a book that is similar to a military book, but mixed with various lists of Confucianism, Zaoism, Legalism, etc. It can be called an encyclopedia. It is not only smelly and long, but also extremely difficult to understand.
Over the years, as she got better at studying literature, she had almost forgotten what it was like to recite "Baicai Ji", but once she mentioned it, she would think of the dark time when she was studying, which was called a depression.
Wu Mingke, no matter what she was thinking, her mind was occupied with inferring the complex relationships behind the names connected by this silk screen.
If you look closely, you can see that there are no less than a few hundred people, among them there are common people such as Liu Zhang and others, as well as dignitaries such as Zhao Shilang.
Not only that, the center of the silk screen is based on Prince Wu's Mansion and connected in all directions.
"Young Master, this spider web-like arrangement is quite magical for military battlefields!"
Wu Fu walked into the room carrying a pot of tea, looking at the names of people on the wall with a hint of amazement.
"Mr. Wu, Lian'er has never seen soldiers practicing martial arts on the battlefield, arranging troops in formations, but these dense threads almost made Lian'er's brain dizzy, which means the young master can understand it clearly!"
Honglian quickly took it and vomited bitterly.
"Haha, let alone you, even I might be knocked unconscious if I don't use my spiritual thoughts!"
Wu Fu smiled kindly.
"Uncle Fu, this method should be familiar to you!"
Wu Ming retracted his thoughts, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and took a sip of tea.
"Could it be Legalism - there are clues!"
Wu Fu was slightly startled, and after observing carefully, his pupils narrowed slightly.
"Ah? Mr. Wu, that's a Legalist magical power. It's too childish for such a messy thread to become a magical power, isn't it?"
Honglian's little mouth opened slightly and her beautiful eyes stared with disbelief.
"No, although this cannot be called a magical power, it can be said to be another way to show the magical power!"
Wu Fu said in amazement.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Fu Bo's discerning eye!"
Wu Ming nodded, laughing secretly in his heart.
Seriously speaking, this is indeed a Legalist method, but it is just one of China's methods of criminal investigation and solving crimes.
He didn't know what the clues were about Legalist magical powers, but Wu Fu and Sang Jingjing were familiar with each other. Since he had told them, he must have figured it out.
In this way, he was happy to go with the flow so as not to reveal his flaws in his explanation.
"But the young master is a son of a military strategist. He has never learned Legalist methods. Moreover, he has always practiced martial arts and has never learned these things!"
Honglian's thoughts were very simple, just pure confusion, but she unknowingly asked the most fundamental question!
"Haha, your young master can't use ordinary reasoning!"
Wu Fu took a deep look at Wu Ming and smiled enigmatically.
Wu Ming's heart tightened, but he instantly understood Wu Fu's gaze. It was not out of suspicion of his identity, but out of speculation after the several vital orifices on his body were opened.
"That's true. The young master is not an ordinary person. It is reasonable to know how to order other things!"
Honglian worshiped Wu Ming blindly as always.
"Okay, what did you see?"
Wu Ming changed the subject.
"Master!"
Honglian's little face fell, and she took a hard look, saying, "Although these threads are very messy, it is obvious that through the names of the people connected, combined with the intelligence, the scope of the person behind each thread is related to my Wu.
Related to the royal palace.
If Lian'er's guess is correct, the person targeting the young master this time is definitely not Minister Zhao, there should be someone else."
"Yes, you can see this, there is indeed progress!"
Wu Ming nodded approvingly, pointed to some of the threads and said, "These clues may seem coherent, but in fact they are all insignificant people. Even if they are caught, they will not be able to get any useful information."
"What should we do?"
Honglian was so nervous.
"It doesn't matter. Although I don't know who the person behind the plan is, as long as I pass this level first and successfully inherit the throne, even if there are more conspiracies and calculations, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Send the order and close the net!"
Wu Ming gave a cold expression and ordered in a deep voice.
