An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

In the Yamen of the Bianzhou magistrate, Xuanwu was lying leisurely on the chair of the imperial master, drinking hot tea and humming a tune.

None of the Jianghu people who were imprisoned for being involved in the assassination of the imperial envoy were released yesterday. There is nothing to do now, it is leisurely and comfortable, even boring.

I wish I could call a row of singers and line up to sing him songs, from "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu" to "The Great Official of Ximen Picks Four Flowers with a Golden Gun". It's a pity that the prefect's office is at your feet. Alas, forget it.

He shook his head with regret, picked up the tea cup and was about to swallow the regret in his heart along with the hot tea, when a servant ran in from the door. He respectfully asked for instructions: "Sir, there are two monks outside the Yamen who want to see you."

Monk? Xuanwu searched his mind and couldn't remember when he met the monk. Fox asked: "Are you asking to see me?"

The Yamen servant confirmed: "Those two monks asked to see the master of Jin Yiwei."

Jinyiwei? Then it can only be me. Xuanwu nodded and asked in confusion: "Where is the Buddhist title?"

"Baoshu Herong, what is Rong?" I couldn't think of the second one for a while, and the yamen servant scratched his head anxiously.

"Rong Hai?" Xuanwu reminded softly.

"Yes, it's Rong Hai! Your Excellency, you're so clever and clever!" The officer flattered him.

"Bring it in."

In less than half an hour, the yamen came in with Baoshu and Rong Hai. Xuanwu didn't even move. He glanced at them sideways, waved his hand for the officer to go down, and asked indifferently: "Why do you want to see me?"

The two people's eyes met, and Baoshu had a tacit understanding and said calmly: "Please give me an explanation, the imperial envoy?"

When Xuanwu heard the word "imperial envoy", he breathed a sigh of relief. It's not just that they came to me, these two old little masters, I really can't handle it!

Let Bai Hu do it.

Putting down the teacup and sipping the smell of the tea, he dismissed the two of them and said, "Are you two stupid for chanting sutras? You don't recognize anyone! I'm not the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy is in Chuzhou!"

The two of them were startled when they heard this, and took a closer look. The Xuanwu above him looked less and less like an imperial envoy. He simply thanked and said goodbye and hurried outside.

"Jenima is not a fool!"

After the two of them finished laughing, they picked up the teacup and brought it to their mouths when the yamen servant ran in again. This time he was not as calm as last time. He said angrily: "Sir, sir. There is someone outside who wants to see you."

Come again? Xuanwu threw down his teacup angrily and said angrily: "Call everyone in! Anyone else who wants to see me, just call them in. I'll see you all at once!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

As soon as the yamen servant walked out, a figure wandered in. With just one glance, Xuanwu's expression changed instantly, and he asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Eunuch?"

The visitor was wearing a red official robe and official hat, with a slightly plump body and a pale face without beard. He was the father-in-law He Junhe who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

"Where are you? We are looking for Mr. Zhao." Eunuch He and Xuanwu have known each other for a long time, so they don't need to be too polite and just ask straight to the point.

After closing the door quietly, Xuanwu explained: "Isn't this someone in Chuzhou setting fire to the official warehouse? Mr. Zhao went to deal with it and won't be able to come back for a while!"

"You don't leave the palace often, why don't you stay in Bianzhou and wait? Don't worry, I'll entertain you!"

Eunuch He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, brother Xuanwu, I have a big deal! There is no time to delay, I must go to see Mr. Zhao immediately."

What a big deal? Xuanwu was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Eunuch He pointing upward with a finger, and he immediately understood.

The words he was about to say suddenly turned into "Walk slowly!"

…

In the courtyard of Chuzhou Station, Zhao Jiu, Zhuque and Baihu sat side by side, enjoying the quiet time in the evening.

At this time, a Yamen servant ran in and reported: "Master Zhao, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Zhao raised his eyelids and asked.

The Yamen servant replied: "It's the magistrate, Tongzhi and Tongpan, as well as two monks."

Monk? Zhao sat up straight and looked at Bai Hu and Suzaku in surprise, thinking that they were the ones who found them. But the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads to show that they didn't recognize each other.

It's strange, you don't know any monks? I know the Taoist priests, but most of them have grudges. Who could it be?

After thinking hard, I really couldn't think of it, so I simply didn't waste my time guessing such boring things. He waved his hand to the yamen to bring them in.

As soon as the prefect entered the courtyard, he explained with a smile: "Master Zhao, the two masters said they had something urgent to do with you, so I brought them here. Is it okay?"

"It's okay." He replied lightly, then turned to look at the two monks behind the three prefects. I looked at it from top to bottom several times, but still had no impression at all.

Simply ask the two of them: "What are the names of the two mages? Why are you looking for Zhao?"

"Treasure tree."

"Rong Hai."

After saying the Dharma name, Zhao Jie still had no impression at all. On the contrary, Bai Hu and Suzaku were shocked. His eyes were deep and he stared at the two of them warily.

Baoshu took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Can you please give us an explanation?"

Zhao just didn't understand. He had never seen them before, so what explanation could he give? Is there anything you can say? Really, I don’t even know what you are talking about.

Baoshu had already anticipated Zhao Jiu's reaction. Conong Ronghai took the package from his hand, placed it on the tea table and opened it. Inside were several arrows and an embroidered spring knife.

Seeing Zhao, his face was still full of doubts, so Baoshu had to make it clear, "In the backyard of the mountain temple outside Lin'an City, dozens of disciples of Kuchan Temple and Lantuo Temple were killed. This Xiuchun Dao and these arrows were found at the scene. arrow."

"Then what?" Zhao sneered disdainfully, put down the tea cup and asked: "What explanation can I give you? With these few arrows and an embroidered spring knife, what explanation can I give you? Don't you think... I killed him?" Bar?"

Zhao Jiu's face was full of impatience, even disgust. It's up to him to kill him, and I didn't kill him!

Rong Hai, who was standing next to him, laughed quickly and said, "Of course it's not Sir. We suspect that the girl killed him, so we came here to ask Mr. Zhao for an explanation."

girl? Suzaku? Zhao glanced at Suzaku and asked seriously: "What's the evidence?"

"The young master of our temple can still retain the Qi of the Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror in his body. And the disciples of our temple clearly saw that girl using the Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror, so..."

"So you think she killed the man, right?" Before Baoshu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao pointing at Suzaku.

"Yes." They both said in unison.

Zhao waved his hand and asked Suzaku to stand over. He hugged Suzaku's waist, threw the Xiuchun knife on the table in front of them, and said calmly: "Pick up the knife."

Baoshu and Rong Hai looked at each other, unsure of the meaning of Zhao Ju's words. So I don’t know if it’s better to pick it up or not to pick it up.

Ignoring the hesitation on their faces, Zhao pointed at the knife on the ground, waved to them, and said, "Come on, pick it up, pick it up."

"Didn't you hear me? I asked you to pick up the knife!"
