In the south city of Chang'an, a curfew had already started in the city during the Chou period. Only the watchman beat the gongs and drums on the street and shouted: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candles."
Suddenly, several men in black appeared on the street. They took advantage of the darkness and secretly came to a restaurant. They saw these men in black scattering in all directions and pouring the kerosene they carried with them into the restaurant. Finally, a few people gathered together.
After nodding to each other to confirm the number of people, the others retreated, leaving one person to open the kettle and ignite the kerosene. The flames instantly jumped up and soon covered the entire restaurant, reflecting the light of the fire.
Soon a watchman on patrol discovered a fire in the distance, and shouted loudly: "It's on fire, it's on fire."
A group of soldiers on night duty rushed to the restaurant immediately. Several people stepped forward and arrested the man in black who was standing there. Several others tried to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong. Fortunately, the restaurant was a single-family building and could not spread.
.
The man in black struggled and said: "Let me go. I am a subordinate of Young Master Hu Hai. I am ordered to burn down this restaurant. You despicable people dare to stop me and arrest me. Are you going to destroy the nine tribes?"
The soldiers were startled, and they moved their hands unconsciously, but the man in black broke free. The chief commander didn't care about this: "Capture him first."
The soldiers came forward with weapons and surrounded the man in black. They saw that the man in black did not dodge and rushed straight over. The soldiers were unable to stop, and the sword entered his body, blood flowed out, and the man in black twitched.
After a few blows, he soon lost his breath.
The leader knew who the real owner of the restaurant was. He was a little shocked at first. Seeing the death of the only arsonist, he became even more furious: "Asshole, who asked you to kill people? It's over now, everyone is over."
After saying that, he looked at the restaurant that was gradually turning into ashes and collapsed to the ground. He could not escape the charge of dereliction of duty.
On the other side of the East City, the Lin Mansion's warehouse was wide open, and the gatekeeper was stunned to the ground. The gold and copper treasures inside had long been missing.
The guards who had been waiting for the change of shift in the morning realized that the captain of the Ganquan Palace guard who was left behind in the Lin Mansion was angry and ashamed. He arrested all the guards and sent a message to Hu Hai while reporting the case to Chang'an Mansion and Tingwei Mansion.
After receiving the reports from both sides, Chang'an Ling Yin felt that the matter might not be that simple, so he first summoned the watchman and the night guard.
The leader wanted to insist that he didn't know anything, but Chang'an Ling Yin ordered all the soldiers to be detained separately and questioned separately, and he immediately asked what the man in black said.
Chang'an Ling Yin kept silent for a long time after learning about it. He just asked people to write testimonies and signed them before they were imprisoned in Chang'an Prison.
The watchman was still shouting that he was wronged, but he saluted Chang'an Ling Yin: "I would like to thank you for your love and care."
Ling Yin took another look at him, but he didn't expect that there was someone who understood. Then he thought that this matter was very involved and shook his head. I was afraid that he could only protect them for a while.
Next, Ling Yin had a headache as he entertained a commander and a group of guards from Ganquan Palace.
The commander asked: "Mr. Chunyu Yue, may I ask if you have caught the evil thief who dared to burn down Mr. Hu Hai's restaurant and steal Mr. Hu Hai's treasures?"
Yin Chunyuyue, the commander of Chang'an, smiled bitterly and said: "The person who set the fire intended to resist, but was killed by the night watch soldiers. Before he died, he claimed to be a subordinate of Prince Hu Hai. Now he is dead without any evidence, but it is not easy to trace."
The commander was still aggressive and wanted to ask for an explanation. After hearing this, he thought of the rumors in the palace and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I hope your lord will speed up the investigation. I will wait for your lord's good news in the end."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left. Without staying for a moment, a guard asked in confusion: "Didn't Chang'an Lingyin say that there are still a few more soldiers on night watch? Why don't you ask more, sir?"
The commander looked at the person who spoke, who was his brother-in-law who was not very smart, and shouted angrily: "Shut up, this matter is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Mansion and Tingwei Mansion, what are your and my identities? How can we have the qualifications to get involved?
Among them, just wait for the young master to come back and deal with it."
In Shanglinyuan, Hu Hai and Lin Ze are in full swing preparing for the next hunting game.
For Lin Ze, this was the first time for such a formal hunting. Bows and arrows, daggers, spears, water bottles, and mandarin jackets were all prepared.
Just as he was about to set off, Hu Hai stopped everyone: "Wait a minute, what's the point of hunting without winnings? How about everyone taking a gamble?"
Li Xin immediately agreed: "Whatever the young master wants to bet on, my subordinates will definitely cooperate, but I'm afraid some people won't dare." After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Lin Ze, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Lin Ze smiled brightly, who is afraid of whom? "How about each of us take out an underground treasure, hunt the most monsters, rank first, and kill them all?"
Li Xin was about to agree, but Zhang Han was unhappy: "Lin Ze, you are a man after all. Have you forgotten that there is a girl in the team? I suggest that girl Yu Rou's will be counted as double."
Lin Ze shook his head, you two are so funny, I will deal with you later.
Yu Rou was not happy anymore and her face turned red: "I don't need you to give in. Everyone is at the second level of martial arts. I may not be the worst."
Hu Hai waved his hand: "Okay, let's do it like this. Everyone takes out a piece of earth treasure as a lottery ticket, and Miss Yu's prey will be counted as double. Let's set off." After saying this, he was the first to rush out, and then two people flashed out.
A middle-grade bodyguard followed behind, but they were only responsible for protecting Hu Hai's safety and would not help with hunting.
Immediately after the other five people came out, Lin Ze remembered: Oh my god, I can't ride a horse.
Reluctantly, he dismounted and walked on foot with only a short sword. Fortunately, the others had already run away, otherwise he would have been laughed to death.
Lin Ze did not rush to chase the prey like them. Instead, he strolled around the vast primeval forest that was rarely seen in later generations and enjoyed the natural scenery.
After killing a few rabbits and pigs without eyes, Lin Ze suddenly felt a sense of danger. He turned to look at a big cat staring at him. Well, it escaped from the slaughterhouse that day.
, the big cat who had a brief encounter with Lin Ze was really an enemy on a narrow road.
The big cat also saw an "acquaintance", and remembering the shame last time, it roared angrily, trying to scare Lin Ze, and then pounced on him, its sharp teeth and claws reflecting the cold light.
Lin Ze was not afraid at all. He recalled the skills that Xiao Jin taught him at that time. He swung his body back and forth several times, passed the short knife to the big cat, and heard the sound of the sharp blade cutting through the flesh. The big cat's forelimbs were cut.
A cut was made, and blood flowed freely.
Lin Ze turned around and faced the big cat head-on again. The big cat roared threateningly, and Lin Ze sneered. Do you think I'm still a fledgling who doesn't understand anything before?
Without waiting for the big cat to react, he kicked the ground with one foot. Lin Ze rushed forward with a short knife. The big cat did not show any weakness. He turned around and swung his tail towards Lin Ze. Lin Ze slashed the big cat's tail with the short knife, and there was a sound.
But there was a sound of steel impacting, and a strong force knocked Lin Ze several meters away, directly hitting a tree.
"Bah!" Lin Ze spat out a mouthful of blood foam and wiped away the leaves that fell on his head. After all, it was the third grade versus the second grade. There was still a gap in strength, so he had to change his strategy.
The big cat then attacked again, trying to tear Lin Ze into pieces, but Lin Ze stopped taking the attack head-on and tried his best to avoid it, and then gave it a cold blow.
Five minutes later, Lin Ze was a little embarrassed and panting. The big cat was even worse. There were countless small cuts all over his body, some had begun to scab, and some were still bleeding.
The big cat felt the obvious loss of his blood and strength, and became a little panicked. He gave Lin Ze a spiteful look and turned around.
Lin Ze is unhappy. This forest belongs to your family. You want to run away after a sneak attack?
He probably got red-eyed and didn't care about the trapped beast fight. Lin Ze chased after him directly. The big cat was originally a speed monster and was not slow. However, the Xiaoyaoyou practiced by Lin Ze was better at speed.
That kind of person, who happened to take the earth treasure that lightens the body and speeds up the body, was able to catch up.
The big cat ran for a while, but when it saw that it could not get away from Lin Ze, it turned around and started fighting with Lin Ze again. After a while, after a few new wounds, it started running away again.
Lin Ze continued to chase, and after a while they fought and ran.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze fought hard to receive a slap from the big cat and stabbed the dagger into its heart, ending the tangled fight.
