The rich night covered the sky and the sky was filled with bright stars. In the study room of the governor's house, Wang Guiyan rejected Master Ziyang's proposal in a concise and concise manner.
"Brother Mu, although the temptation of the Sifang Order is huge, I am afraid that we will not be able to bear it, so we should not risk our lives in vain."
"Brother Wang, Song'er offended Emperor Chu and used Emperor Chu's methods. I'm afraid Brother Wang will not be able to escape!"
"Right now, the Order of the Four Directions is popular all over the world, and all forces are eyeing the Emperor of Chu. You and I will definitely not be able to shake such a transcendent thing."
"But if we gather the power of all the heroes in the world to get rid of Emperor Chu and get the reward of the Four Directions Order, then Brother Wang can also get a share of the pie, but he will be far more at ease than you, the county guard of this city."
Wang Gui was worried. As an official of the Chu State, Emperor Chu's iron-blooded methods were deeply imprinted in his heart. Even if the Sifang Order rewarded him generously, it was not as important to him as his life.
But now Master Ziyang wants him to join the group. If he refuses sternly in person again, he is afraid that he will be displeased, so he suddenly makes a plan and a calm voice sounds.
"Brother Mu, this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the long term. Let's talk about it after tonight!"
Finished.
Wang Gui fluttered his sleeves and left the study, and walked towards Wang Song's room. Looking back, he saw Ziyang's figure disappearing in the air. He took a breath and quickened his steps.
Arriving outside Wang Song's door, Wang Gui waved to the two guards to enter the room. He glanced at Wang Song who had fainted on the bed, walked quickly to the wooden table, picked up his pen and started writing, and a vigilant voice sounded.
"The two of you leave the house and go to Sihai Restaurant. You must meet the people in tonight's elegant room and hand this letter to them."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely complete the task!"
Wang Gui knew how powerful Emperor Chu was. Even though Wang Song offended Tianwei tonight, he still tried to tell Emperor Chu about the Sifang Order.
A few moments.
The two guards left with the letter. Wang Gui stared at their retreating figures with sorrow on his face.
"Creak!"
The gate of the Sheriff's Mansion opened, and the two guards jumped on their horses, whipped their horses and ran towards Sihai Restaurant.
Under the bright moonlight, on the pavilion opposite the Sheriff's Mansion, a black shadow moved across the sky like a ghost, turning into afterimages and chasing after the galloping horses.
"Wang Gui, you are so wishful thinking that you still want to achieve great things!"
The cold and bone-gnawing sound dissipated in the night sky, and the black shadow disappeared on the top of the pavilion in a few vertical strokes. On the long street away from Sihai Restaurant, two guards were killed by the black shadow that suddenly fell down with a sword. Ma Mingchang
A hissing sound sounded.
The sound of the collision between the two people spread, and the horses ran wildly towards the end of the long street in the moonlight. The black shadow leaned down, raised his hands and groped the two people for a while, opened his arms, and the figure rose into the air, appearing on the street corner like a ghost.
in the attic.
"Wang Gui, do you think this can save you? What a wishful thinking!"
As the words fell, a teasing smile appeared on the dark shadow's lips, and the letter turned into dust in his hand, dissipating in the wind in the dark night.
.............
early morning.
The morning light enveloped the earth. In the Sihai Restaurant, Emperor Chu withdrew from his practice. He glanced at the two women sleeping on the wooden couch, got up and walked towards the window.
Opening the window, the noisy noise on the long street caught his attention. He vaguely heard the conversations of the people on the street, and he turned around and walked out of the room.
At this moment.
There was a knock on the door, Zhao Yun opened the door, and Lu Bu and Lu Bu stood outside the door with solemn expressions.
"Sir, there was a murder in Huwei City last night. All Wang Gui's family died in the mansion, no one was spared."
"Well!"
"Wang Gui is the county guard of a city. He came to Sihai Restaurant last night with nearly a thousand soldiers. How could he be wiped out overnight?"
Emperor Chu frowned, feeling that this matter was strange. He dared to blatantly wash away the governor's house with blood. This thief was very courageous.
"Young Master, it has been spread throughout Huwei City that Wang Gui was bloodbathed because he offended you."
"Haha, that's interesting. Isn't this a blatant provocation?"
"Zilong, send a message to Di Qing and ask him to bring someone to deal with this matter. Let's continue our journey to Yongjiang City."
Emperor Chu originally wanted to stay in Huwei City to deal with the murder case, but he vaguely felt that Wang Gui's death must be related to his arrival.
Since the opponent hiding in the dark was coming for him, Emperor Chu decided to go out of the city to lure the snake out of its hole to see who was behind the scenes.
An hour later.
Emperor Chu and his entourage gathered in the restaurant hall. Ji Zhen learned that Emperor Chu was going to Yongjiang City and wanted to go with him, but Emperor Chu asked him to go to the imperial city and stay with Zhongshu Ling until he returned to the imperial city and make other arrangements.
Hear the sound.
Ji Zhen smiled and said: "It is said that the capital of the Chu Kingdom has fine wines and countless delicacies. I just took this opportunity to taste them."
"Mr. Ji, you stay in Sihai Restaurant for now. Someone will come to pick you up in just one or two days. Then you can go to the Imperial City together."
Emperor Chu handed Wang Gui's murder case to Di Renjie, and also informed Zhao Yun of Ji Zhen's existence. He believed that Di Renjie would definitely solve the case when he arrived, and they would return to the imperial capital together.
Lu Bu turned around and entered the restaurant, raised his hand and handed the two ingots of gold to the shopkeeper. After giving instructions, he returned to Emperor Chu.
The group of people jumped on their horses and ran towards the outside of Huwei City. Ji Zhen looked at the back of Emperor Chu and his entourage as they left, and sounded a hoarse voice.
"The dragon lurks in the abyss and reaches the nine heavens. The territory of thousands of miles south of the East China Sea is just the beginning. It will go further in the future. Who knows where it will end up?"
Finished.
Ji Zhen fluttered her sleeves and turned around to enter the restaurant. At this time, the shopkeeper was a completely different person and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
Wang Gui's murder caused chaos in the city. Emperor Chu and his party came to the city gate, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Master Wang is dead and the city gate has been sealed. All you have to do is enter and not go out. You should go back first!"
Everyone reined up their horses and stood up. Zhao Yun wanted to step forward and let the soldiers open the city gate, but was stopped by Emperor Chu.
"Kong Ming, are you interested in going to the Sheriff's Mansion and studying this murder case together?"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, and this is exactly what I mean!"
Emperor Chu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ran Min, and Diao Chan all returned to their horses and changed their route to attack the governor's mansion.
a long time.
When they arrived at the street corner outside the Sheriff's Mansion, the people on the long street were already crowded with people. Everyone dismounted their horses and squeezed into the crowd.
When he arrived outside the governor's house, he saw soldiers carrying out corpses one after another. Emperor Chu glanced sideways at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded lightly, stepped forward to the general in charge of the case, raised his hand to show the general's order, the general guarding the city looked panicked, and wanted to kneel down to salute, but Zhao Yun stopped him.
"No need to be polite, just step back!"
Zhao Yun turned around and looked at Emperor Chu. He saw him and Zhuge Liang getting up and walking towards the corpse on the ground. They opened the curtain and Emperor Chu frowned.
"Kong Ming, I didn't expect that the one who took action was a master, sealing the throat with a sword. This is a bit surprising." (To be continued)
