I have a long pupil

Chapter 27

"Keep the main roads of each square!"

"Block the gate of the workshop and make a big rope along the street!"

"Don't let the thief get away!"

An accident happened in West Market, and the response from all sides was quick.

The Jinwu guards patrolling the streets immediately closed the gates of the West Market, and set up checkpoints in each main road, checking each one...

Marquis Wu rushed in frantically. They were mobilized from nearby Fangshi, and rushed into various shops in the West Market with hooks and locks...

The masters of the six doors have also been dispatched. They rushed to the wall of the workshop and searched everywhere...

This was the case in the Liang Dynasty. Although some things were not clearly stated, the court and the Jianghu vaguely formed a tacit understanding.

The imperial court usually sits idly by in order to avoid backlash, and more importantly, to control.

But killing officials to rebel and committing crimes under the watchful eyes of the public is a slap in the face of the imperial court, which will never be tolerated.

…………

On the left side of West Market, Huaidefang.

"Look at what!"

"Have you ever seen a person with a ghost mask?"

The Marquis Wu in the square asked loudly from door to door.

Huaidefang is a bit special, because it is close to the west gate of Yujing City and the West Market, so a large number of Hu people from the Western Regions gathered.

They have lived here for many years.

Some people get rich by relying on the Western Regions business, and some choose to do business in Yujing City, so there are all kinds of restaurants and restaurants in the Western Regions, and there is even a Huo Temple.

Faced with Marquis Wu's interrogation, the orchids covered their mouths and laughed, while the shameless Hu merchants shook their heads and waved their hands in blunt official language.

The Marquis Wu were also helpless.

These barbarians contributed a lot of commercial taxes to the imperial court, and secondly, they were very respectful to Emperor Liang and presented rare treasures every year, so they were considered quite powerful in Yujing City.

The Marquis Wu looked vicious, but they didn't dare to go too far.

On the second floor of Papa Ada's restaurant, Zhang Biao had already changed into a suit and had a beard all over his face. He was watching downstairs while drinking and eating meat.

It looks relaxed, but the eyes are a little dignified.

Avoiding the first round of pursuit is not a problem for him, and he has enough time to leave the West City.

But his six-door status has become troublesome.

The ones moving now are only the police officers with bronze medals near the West Market, if the deceased is found to be Xiao San, the yamen must suspect him.

He had tried his best to hide the murder.

Not only did he not use the soul-hunting lock, even the moves used for killing people were similar in many sects.

But these are not safe.

If you don't come back late, or if you are stopped by someone on the road, it will be really hard to tell.

It seems that the only way to do it is to take risks.

"Girl, check out!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao put down a bunch of copper coins without hesitation, ignored Hu Ji's tender eyes, left the wine shop to avoid Marquis Wu, and turned into a dark alley.

He has been in Yujing City for many years, and he brought Wang Xin to hang out in various workshops since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with the terrain.Turn left and turn right, and you will come to the Huo Temple of the Huo Luo Sect.

This Fire Luo Cult is prevalent in the countries of the Western Regions, with peculiar buildings, most of them have golden domes, the area is not small, and it is full of tall towers.

The habit of the Hu people is to come to the temple to worship when the new or full moon appears, so now the gate is closed and there are few people around.

Zhang Biao came to an ancient well at the back of the temple. Seeing no one around, he grabbed the well rope and jumped in.

clap la la...

With a splash, it fell into the water.

Taking advantage of the weak light, he continued to dive, only to see a water channel appearing on the side wall of the bottom of the well, kicked his legs, and dragged himself into it.

The waterway was not deep, and it gradually went up after a short swim, and then Zhang Biao came out of the water again.

The surroundings are dark and dim, and there is a faint damp and musty smell, which makes people feel stuffy in their chests.

Zhang Biao was not surprised either. He climbed out of the waterway, took out the fire bag from his arms, and blew it a few times before the fire flickered.

With the help of the dim light, a dripping channel suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Looks like it hasn't collapsed yet...

Zhang Biao looked around, then took out a lambskin full of maps from his pocket, and after comparing it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the underground tunnel of Emperor Wudi.

Last night, just in case, he not only copied the map that was on the verge of being broken, but also designed several escape routes.

After all, it's been a long time, and ghosts don't know which tunnels have collapsed or are in danger.

But in this situation, it can only be tried.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao walked forward cautiously holding the torch, and gradually disappeared into the darkness...

…………

West Market, Wang Family Dyeing Workshop.

The tragic death of the golden wolf guard, the comatose toddler, the human pig whose face was covered with mushrooms...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiao Xiong, the bad guy from Jingzhao Mansion, had a gloomy expression, and he only had one thought in his mind:
Big trouble!

Child abduction is nothing serious.

There are hundreds of people in Yujing City every year, not to mention thousands.

Even killing people in the street can be said to be gangsters who are bold and bold, and they are wanted on the list.

But when it comes to witchcraft...

But it will make a lot of people lose their heads!
Jiao Xiong remembered an old incident a hundred years ago.

There are people in the palace who practice witchcraft. Even if they are deceived, the so-called witchcraft is useless, but it still makes the court bloody and bloody.

Now, that's probably true.

Who knows, what troubles will arise...

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, accompanied by fierce yelling, there was a commotion in the rear.

"What are you doing?!"

Jiao Xiong was on the fire, he suddenly turned his head with a curse, but his whole body froze, he bent down and cupped his hands:

"I met General Chu."

A group of Jinwu guards rushed into the yard, pushed the bad people to this side, and even put a gun on their throats with a fierce look on their faces.

The leader is a tall man with a majestic and square face, wearing a golden armor with mouth swallowing and a red cloak.

Of course Jiao Xiong recognized this person, and even had a lot of dealings with him. It was Chu Shiyuan, the deputy general of the Zuoying of the Jinwu Guard.

His bad handsome sounded majestic, but he was just an official, while the other party was a fifth-rank military officer.

Although the Liang Dynasty was always on guard against generals because of the separatist regime of the former dynasty.It takes time to promote and suppress on weekdays, but it is far from being able to offend a small official like him.

Chu Shiyuan ignored him, glanced sideways, and immediately a famous Jinwu guard brought a stool from behind.

He sat down slowly, lowered his head and pressed his nails, and took another breath before asking calmly, "I heard that Xishi killed someone, who died?"

Jiao Xiong gave him a wink, and immediately a bad person put his head on the ground.

"The name of the deceased is Xiao San."

Jiao Xiong said in a deep voice: "This person was executed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice a few days ago for committing murder in the street. I don't know why..."

"fart!"

Chu Shiyuan's eyes flickered fiercely, and he scolded: "How can a person who has been executed live? What do you mean, could it be that colleagues from the Ministry of Punishment bent the law for personal gain?"

Jiao Xiong shuddered, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "Perhaps... I misread it."

"What dog eyes!"

Chu Shiyuan snorted coldly, nodded to his subordinates beside him and said, "Go, examine the corpse."

When even one of the Jinwu guards stepped forward, drew out his dagger, stabbed Xiao San's head beyond recognition, then turned around and cupped his hands and said, "General, the deceased's name is Wang Duyan, and he is a well-known kidnapper in the world."

Chu Shiyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Jiao Xiong again, "Commander Jiao, what do you think?"

Jiao Xiong swallowed, smiled quickly, slapped himself hard, and then cupped his hands and said: "It's a little dazzler, that person is indeed Wang Duyan, please Master Chu punish him."

"no."

Chu Shiyuan waved his hand, "Let's go, this case is important, and I, the Jinwu Guard, will take over, and then the Ministry of Punishment will send people to investigate."

"Honestly obey orders."

How could Jiao Xiong dare to say no, he waved his hands at his subordinates, wishing to escape from this place immediately.

"and many more."

Just when he was about to go out, Chu Shiyuan suddenly spoke again, and said lightly: "Remember, keep your mouth shut..."

"The humble job knows."

Jiao Xiong's back was covered with cold sweat, and after bending over again, he led his men away in embarrassment.

Not long after they left, a mysterious person wearing a black robe and hood slowly entered the door and walked towards the warehouse.

Entering the tunnel, the mysterious man raised his hood, and it turned out to be a handsome scholar in green robe with fair features and raised eyes, like a fox's eyes.

With a smile on his face, he didn't care about the bloody scene in front of him. He walked to the live mushroom, picked the mushrooms carefully, and then took out a handful of powder from the leather pocket on his waist.

This powder is somewhat like the old incense ash obtained by Zhang Biao, but it is mixed with red and yellow fine powder and emits a pungent sulfur smell.

The fox-eyed scholar blew lightly.

Call ~
The powder surged out, and a group of red flames immediately wrapped the live sesame, and burned it to fly ash in the blink of an eye.

Then he turned around and smiled gently at the terrified children, "Children, you... just experienced a nightmare and didn't see anything..."

The voice is soft, with a charm.

The eyes of the children are gradually becoming confused...

Outside the door, Chu Shiyuan saw the black-robed man entering, he was silent for a while, then got up and walked out the door.

In the dark alley in the distance, a carriage was heard.

Chu Shiyuan lifted the curtain and said coldly: "Young master Li, I helped you with this matter. From then on, I will have no entanglement with the Li family!"

Inside the car, a handsome gentleman smiled and said: "What did General Chu say, I will come to thank you personally afterward..."

"no!"

Chu Shiyuan put down the curtain, turned and left.

Inside the car, there was a young man's disdainful laughter...
