Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 84
Luoyang City is surrounded by Mang Mountain in the north and Yique in the south. The water flows slowly. Moved to Luoyang and renamed it "Shendu".

Rumble!
Lightning and thunder, and rain all over the sky, enveloped this majestic capital city.

Shangyang Palace, Tixiang Gate, the palace lights have already been turned off, only one attic on the west side is faintly flickering.

"Captain, look at the lights over there!" A group of Qianniu Guards patrolling in the rain passed by, and a young guard pointed to the attic and shouted.

"Oh, Shangyang Palace is haunted again!" But the captain who didn't want to lead the team sighed, as if he was not surprised by this.

"Captain, let's go and have a look!" said the young guard.

Hearing this, the captain turned his head, wiped off the water from his face, glared at the guard, and scolded: "Don't die, that's the absolute forbidden place of Shangyang Palace - Baocheng Hall, anyone who steps into Baocheng Hall One step, kill without mercy."

Hearing this, the young guard shrank his head and dared not speak any more. He just glanced at Bao Chengdian curiously, and continued to patrol under the leadership of the captain.

……

Baocheng Hall.

With a sound of "creak", the door was blown open by the wind, and the rain poured into the hall. The red candles in the hall were burning brightly, a flash of lightning flashed, and a woman's face came into view. But with bloodshot eyes, following the wind, this woman floated into the palace like a kite, and what was really frightening was that this woman had no arms.

"What a heavy rain!" A thunder flashed, and a woman's sigh came from the hall. This person turned around and turned out to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty——Wu Zetian.

"It's raining heavily." Another woman's voice suddenly came from inside the hall. Wu Zetian was shocked and turned her head to look at the source of the voice.

nobody.

When Wu Zetian turned his head slowly, Que saw a person standing in front of him, it was the woman without arms before, her eyes looked at Wu Zetian, her face was expressionless, Wu Zetian was so frightened out of his wits when he saw this person's face , let out a heart-piercing scream, and then fainted to the ground.

……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, wake up!" In the bedroom, several maids and eunuchs were in a panic, shaking Wu Zetian non-stop, and shouted.

"what!"

With a loud cry, Wu Zetian jumped up from the bed, and the maids and eunuchs hurriedly pushed aside, not daring to speak.

"Where is this?" Wu Zetian asked in horror.

"Your Majesty is in the bedroom." A female official replied.

"The bedroom?" Wu Zetian breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to himself, "What is this?"

"Has Your Majesty had a nightmare again?"

"Chunxiang, you mean I was dreaming just now?" Wu Zetian swallowed and asked, the feeling just now was too real, it didn't look like a dream at all.

The court lady named Chunxiang replied: "Your Majesty kept calling 'there is a ghost' just now, and this servant dared to wake up His Majesty."

"Another nightmare, but why is it so clear?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to invite the imperial physician to take a look?" Chunxiang asked.

"Ok."

……

Di Fu.

"This is an official document from Yizhou, Jiannan Road, and Puzhou, Hedong Road. Take a look." Di Renjie handed several official documents to Li Yuanfang and said.

"Here, this is a court document. Is it inappropriate for a lowly position?" Li Yuanfang said without taking the official document.

"It's okay, I'm just going to hear your opinion." Di Renjie said.

Li Yuanfang just took over the official document, flipped through it, raised his head, and asked, "Blood Eagle?"

"Yeah, thousands of miles apart, such vicious murders happened at the same time. Sixty or seventy people died, but no one saw the murderer. Except for the bleeding eagle left at the scene, no clues were found. The reason for this , is intriguing." Di Renjie said.

"It is said in the official document that these deceased are all exiles without identity. What's going on?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "There must be something strange about it. Judging from the bloody eagle left at the scene, the perpetrators must be the same group, but why did they kill a group of exiles? People gather together."

Li Yuanfang couldn't answer this question either.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being. Based on these official documents alone, it's hard to draw any conclusions. Yuan Fang, how did you find out about the fairness?" Di Renjie asked.

"It has been found out that someone paid a lot of money to the Iron Shoutuan to take Gongheng's life." Li Yuanfang said.

"Iron Hands?"

"After the investigation by the humble staff, the Iron Hands Group is the largest killer organization in the Jianghu. It is said that they have never missed a shot, but the price of the shot is very high. As long as they are given enough money, they dare to take any task." Li Yuanfang said .

"It seems that Gongheng is in trouble." Di Renjie said, tapping his fingers on the desk.

Three days ago, Di Chun went out to run errands for Di Renjie, and overheard a conversation between two people from the rivers and lakes. The content of the conversation was about the Iron Hands and the Quick Swordsman. Let Li Yuanfang go to find out the situation.

Now that Li Yuanfang is the general of Qianniuwei Zhonglang, he has also begun to grasp some resources. There are still some ways to investigate this kind of Jianghu matter, and he will soon find out the matter clearly.

"Yeah, I don't know how brother Gongheng is doing now." Li Yuanfang said.

"Since the members of the Iron Hands are still looking for Gongheng, it proves that Gongheng is still safe. This is good news, but what is it..." Di Renjie was half-spoken, and suddenly fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly raised his head. At the beginning: "Could it be them?"

"My lord, what did you think of? Who are they?" Li Yuanfang was at a loss.

"Remember the Youzhou case, the conversation between Gongheng and Jinghui?" Di Renjie asked.

"My lord means..."

Di Renjie raised his hand and stopped Li Yuanfang from continuing: "This matter, we can't come to a conclusion yet, but if it's really them, then Gongheng must have touched some core. The most urgent thing now is to find Gongheng, Yuanfang, you……"

It is normal to be interrupted today. Before Di Renjie finished speaking, Di Chun hurriedly pushed the door in and said, "My lord, the servants in the palace are waiting outside now. They said that the emperor is seriously ill, please come in immediately." Palace diagnosis and treatment!"
