Chen Jingnan was discovered by the Xuanjia Guards of Jing'anfang, and only after dawn.
In fact, no matter how concealed they were, Xiao Yi and others could not be discovered until dawn.
Under normal circumstances, there are Xuanjia guards guarding every city day and night. Although they are not like policemen patrolling the streets, they still monitor and take a look from time to time.
But last night, because Chen Jingnan met at the Xinnanhou Mansion at night, all the Xuanjia Guards under his command did not have to come out at night. This can only be said to be his own fault.
In the Dongyu Jingyesi Division, the moment Chen Jingnan's body was discovered, Gu Cheng immediately summoned all the night watchmen.
Before everyone could start to be shocked when they saw Chen Jingnan's twisted, twist-like corpse, Gu Cheng had already started his performance.
Pointing to Chen Jingnan's body on the ground, the expression on Gu Cheng's face was very wonderful, with three parts sadness mixed with three parts anger, three parts excitement and one part weirdness.
"Everyone, the body of Chen Jingnan, the night watchman of Jing'anfang, was just discovered in Jing'anfang this morning. He died at the hands of demons and evil cultivators. Do you know where that place is? It is outside the alley of Xinnanhou Mansion!
Yesterday I was going to the Xinnan Hou Mansion, and Mr. Chen Jingnan had an argument with me. Do you think we were quarreling? Wrong! That was actually a play performed by Mr. Chen Jingnan and I in partnership!
We originally wanted to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, warn the Xinnanhou Mansion, and let the evil cultivator take the initiative to escape. In fact, we have already laid a dragnet outside.
Who would have thought that Mr. Chen Jingnan would go to inquire about the news at night, and the people in the Xinnan Hou Mansion would be extremely arrogant. They even ignored the majesty of me, Jingyesi, and secretly killed Mr. Chen Jingnan. It is simply lawless!
It has been five hundred years since the founding of Daqian and five hundred years since the establishment of Jingyesi. When have we ever experienced such grievances and grievances?
Now Lord Chen Jingnan has taken the first step on behalf of our Eastern Territory Jingyesi. We will avenge Lord Chen Jingnan, attack the Marquis of Xinnan Mansion, and capture the evil cultivator. We can repay the emperor's favor and comfort Lord Chen Jingnan's spirit in heaven.
!
Sin and I are inseparable!"
Listening to Gu Cheng's righteous and resounding words, everyone present fell into a dull silence.
They couldn't believe a single punctuation mark of what Gu Cheng said!
They are all from Dongyu Jingyesi, and everyone knows the details of all parties.
What kind of drama will Chen Jingnan secretly join forces with you? Just kidding! His character is only capable of causing trouble.
Moreover, Chen Jingnan himself was trained by the Xinnanhou Mansion at a great expense. The people of the Xinnanhou Mansion were so full that they wanted to kill him now?
But how Chen Jingnan died is still unclear to everyone.
Although some people suspected that it was Gu Cheng who did it, Gu Cheng and his men did not go out in the East Territory Jingyesi yesterday, and judging from the fatal injuries on Chen Jingnan's body, the person who did it was indeed a top-notch evil cultivator.
character.
Just when they were hesitating, Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang both stood up and said solemnly: "I am willing to follow you to attack the Xinnan Hou Mansion and eradicate the evil in the capital!"
Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong also stood up and said, "My subordinates are also willing!"
Among the twelve night patrols of the Jingyesi Division in the Eastern Region, one Chen Jingnan died. As a result, all four of them suddenly sided with Gu Cheng. When did he, Gu Cheng, have such power? He was able to give orders just a few days after taking office.
Are there less than half of the people from Jingyesi in the Eastern Region?
Looking around at the people present, Gu Cheng said calmly: "It concerns a powerful prince in the imperial court. It is indeed of great importance at this time, but what if the murderous Zuo Daoxie cultivator is in the Xinnan Hou Mansion?
I don’t want to take action at this time. Afterwards, I will report it directly to the Commander-in-Chief and conduct a thorough investigation of the Eastern Territory Jingyesi. I suspect that among you people there are spies who are the same party as the evil cultivator!"
The group of people who did not come forward suddenly felt shocked.
Gu Cheng, the commander of the Eastern Territory, cannot actually decide whether to stay or leave the night patrols under his command. There are too many people in charge of matters in the capital, and the commander of the four regions cannot appoint or remove the night patrols under his command at will.
But if Gu Cheng really catches the evil cultivator in Xinnanhou's mansion, once he reports it to the commander, the entire Eastern Region Jingyesi may be reshuffled.
The Jingyesi headquarters in the capital lacks everything except people. If they don't investigate, if they do investigate, they will find that even if no one colludes with the evil cultivators, none of them will be clean.
Gu Cheng, on the other hand, could completely distance himself from their relationship. He was a newly appointed commander of the Eastern Territory, but he knew nothing and was not guilty of lax discipline. He even helped the headquarters to dig out so many bugs.
After thinking for a moment, everyone immediately knew what they should do. The remaining night watchmen quickly stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to go with you!"
They are not Chen Jingnan, so what do they have to do with the Xinnan Hou Mansion?
Catching the evil cultivator was a credit to him. If he couldn't be caught, the commander-in-chief Gu Cheng proposed this matter. Naturally, it was up to Gu Cheng to bear the wrath of the superiors. It had nothing to do with them.
After looking around, Gu Cheng waved his hand, and the entire Eastern Region Jingyesi immediately began to assemble and headed straight for the Xinnan Hou Mansion.
In fact, the actions of Yasushi in the capital do not need to be reported to the higher authorities.
To be more precise, in Jingyesi, whether it is the capital headquarters or the county government below, each department has great autonomy, at least in terms of combat.
The matters that Jingyesi is responsible for handling are almost all related to various monsters and practitioners. They are extremely dangerous and sensitive, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting. How can there be so much time to report and wait until the people above give orders before taking action? If that is the case
If so, the day lily will be cold.
It's just that over the years, Jing Yesi has inevitably developed bad habits. Some bosses with strong control always like to be in charge of everything. You have to ask him for instructions on any big or small matter before taking action, like Xie Anzhi.
.
The same goes for some subordinates who are good at flattering others. They have to report everything to show their presence in front of their bosses.
Although such people brought bad habits to Jingyesi, Jingyesi's laws have not changed.
Gu Cheng took action against the Xinnanhou Mansion at this time. If he caught someone and proved that the Xinnanhou Mansion was indeed colluding with the evil cultivators who committed murder from outside, then he would have almost no control over the procedure.
But if he failed and the Marquis of Xinnan went to complain to the court, Jingyesi would also turn around and reprimand Gu Cheng.
So Gu Cheng's move was actually a gamble, but he believed in Yang Naigong's judgment and believed that the people on his side had already secured the Xinnan Hou Mansion and had not allowed the evil cultivator to escape.
At this time, in the Xinnanhou Mansion, Guo Xing'an was having breakfast with Guo Feng and his wives and concubines.
Guo Xing'an has served as the governor of several large armies, and he can be regarded as someone who has experienced in the army.
However, after all, he was born as a prince and was used to luxury and prosperity, but he did not have the simple and frugal habits of the army. For breakfast alone, there were more than ten dishes on the table.
At this time, a servant hurried over and shouted: "The Marquis is not good!"
Guo Xing'an put down the snack in his hand and frowned: "I have said it many times. As a member of the Hou family, you should be more calm in your words and actions. How is it inappropriate to make a fuss over the smallest things? What happened?"
"Master Chen Jingnan is dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Xing'an stood up suddenly, almost knocking over all the dishes on the table.
"What did you say? Chen Jingnan is dead? How could a good person die suddenly?"
There are actually casualties within the Jingyesi Division in the capital, but this is the capital after all, and the headquarters is full of elites, so the proportion of casualties is actually much smaller than that of the outside world.
Chen Jingnan, the night watchman, died unexpectedly, which Guo Xingan simply couldn't understand.
Before he could think more, the servant continued: "Sir, the people from Jingyesi in the East Region have already surrounded us, the Xinnanhou Mansion."
Guo Xing'an was stunned: "Chen Jingnan is dead, why are the people from Jingyesi in the Eastern Region surrounding my Xinnanhou Mansion?"
"The new commander of the Eastern Territory, Gu Cheng, said that our Xinnan Marquis Mansion colluded with the Zuo Dao evil cultivator to kill Master Chen Jingnan, so at this time, we must break through our Xinnan Marquis Mansion and capture the Zuo Dao evil cultivator to avenge Master Chen Jingnan.
!”
Guo Xing'an and Guo Feng's father and son were already standing there in a daze. Chen Jingnan was a dog they had spent a lot of money to train. Even if they wanted to cook the cunning rabbit to death, this was not the time and place. What on earth did he, Gu Cheng, want?
What to do?
"Lawless! Absolutely lawless!"
Guo Xing'an shouted angrily, and with a palm strike, the strong energy turned the table in front of him and the food and wine on the table into powder.
But after getting angry, he immediately turned his attention to Guo Feng: "Quick! Let Butler Dong take you to break out and find the third prince for help. Find a way to make Gu Cheng and the others retreat. Don't let them search the prince's mansion!"
That guy was recuperating in their Marquis Mansion before. If Gu Cheng really found out, the lineage of Xinnan Marquis Mansion would be ruined!
It was too late to find someone else at this time. We could only use the pressure from the third prince to make Gu Cheng retreat, and then think of other things.
Guo Feng hurried out, while Guo Xing'an immediately took the entire family of Xinnanhou Mansion out to meet the enemy.
Daqian does not prohibit all kinds of martial arts princes from supporting their families, as long as you don't openly recruit troops.
There are Longxiang Guards, Imperial Guards and Shenwu Guards here in the capital, as well as Jingyesi. With this kind of force, the possibility of the princes rebelling is almost zero, so even giving them some strength is harmless.
Therefore, even the declining princely families like Zhongyonghou Mansion still have some veterans. Among the hundreds of servants in Xinnanhou Mansion, except for 10% of the servants who are actually serving people, 90% are brought by Guo Xing'an.
The elite of the army.
At this time, hundreds of Xuanjia guards under Gu Chengdongyu's command had completely surrounded the Xinnan Hou Mansion. Some of the Xuanjia guards on the periphery had already drawn their bows and arrows, and the light of true energy was shining among them.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Cheng's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, Kou An shouted loudly: "Open the door! Check the water meter!"
Kou An didn't know what it meant to check the water meter. Gu Cheng asked him to shout. It is said that shouting like this is very powerful.
He didn't know a few Chinese characters, so there must be a reason for him to shout like this. Not to mention, it was quite impressive when he shouted it, giving him an inexplicable aura.
