I have an eternal eye

"Guard the main roads!"

"Seal the gate and drag the rope along the street!"

"Don't let the thief escape!"

When something happened in West City, the response from all parties was very quick.

The Jinwu Guards who patrolled the streets immediately closed the gate of the West Market and set up checkpoints at various important thoroughfares to conduct interrogations one by one...

The Wuhous rushed in crazily. They were mobilized from nearby markets and rushed into various shops in the West Market with hooks and locks...

The experts from the six gates have also been dispatched. They rush up to the walls and search everywhere...

This was the case in the Liang Dynasty. Although some things were not stated explicitly, there was a vague understanding between the court and the world.

The court usually sits idly by and ignores vendettas in Jianghu to avoid backlash, and more importantly, to control them.

But killing officials and rebelling in public is a slap in the face of the imperial court and will never be tolerated.

…………

On the left side of West Market, Huaidefang.

"What are you looking at!"

"Have you ever seen a person wearing a ghost face?"

The Wuhous in the village went from house to house and asked loudly.

Huaidefang is somewhat special. Because it is close to the west gate of Yujing City and adjacent to the West Market, a large number of barbarians from the Western Regions gathered there.

They have settled here for many years.

Some people make fortunes by relying on the business routes of the Western Regions, while others choose to do business in Yujing City. Therefore, the square is full of various Western Region restaurants and restaurants, and there is even a Huo Luo Sect Hu Temple.

Faced with the cross-examination by Marquis Wu, the Hu Ji covered their mouths and laughed, while the smelly Hu merchants shook their heads and waved their hands in blunt Mandarin.

The Wuhous were also helpless.

These Hu people, on the one hand, contributed a large amount of commercial taxes to the imperial court, and on the other hand, they were very respectful to the Emperor of Liang, offering rare treasures every year. Therefore, they were quite influential in Yujing City.

The Wuhous seemed fierce, but they did not dare to go too far.

On the second floor of Ada's restaurant, Zhang Biao had changed into a sweater and had a full beard. He was drinking and eating meat while looking downstairs.

He seemed relaxed, but his eyes were a little serious.

It was not a problem for him to avoid the first round of pursuit, and he had enough time to leave the West City.

But his six-door identity has become a problem.

The ones who are moving now are only the bronze police officers near the West City. If the deceased is found to be Xiao San, the Yamen will definitely suspect him.

When he committed the murder, he tried his best to hide it.

Not only was there no soul hook lock, but many sects also had similar moves used to kill people.

But these are not safe.

If you don't return for a long time, or you are stopped on the road, it will be really hard to tell.

It seems that we can only resort to dangerous tactics.

"Girl, pay!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao did not hesitate to put down a bunch of copper coins, ignored Hu Ji's tender eyes, left the wine shop, avoided Marquis Wu, and turned into a dark alley.

He has been in Yujing City for many years. He has been hanging out with Wang Xin in various houses since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with the terrain. After turning left and right, we came to the vicinity of Huoluo Sect Hu Temple.

This Fire Luo Sect is popular in the countries of the Western Regions, and its buildings are unique. Most of them have golden domes. They cover a large area and are covered with high towers.

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

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.

Wow…

With a splash, he fell into the water.

He continued to dive with the faint light, and saw a water channel appearing on the side wall of the well bottom. He kicked off his legs and dug in.

The water channel was not deep, and it gradually moved upwards before swimming far, and then Zhang Biao emerged from the water again.

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, and there was a vague smell of dampness and mold, which made people feel stuffy.

Zhang Biao was not surprised. He climbed out of the water channel and took out the fire stick from his arms. He blew it a few times and the fire flickered.

In the dim light, a dripping passage suddenly appeared in front of us.

It seems like this place hasn’t collapsed yet…

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

This is the underground tunnel used during Emperor Wu's time.

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 has been a long time, and the devil knows which tunnels have collapsed or are in danger.

But in this situation, we can only give it a try.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao walked forward carefully holding the fire stick, gradually disappearing into the darkness...

…………

West Market, Wang’s Dyeing Shop.

The tragic death of the Golden Wolf Guard, the comatose child, the human pig with mushrooms on his face...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiao Xiong, the delinquent handsome man of Jingzhao Mansion, had a gloomy face and only one thought in his mind:

Big trouble!

Kidnapping and trafficking young children is not a big deal.

There are not only thousands, but also hundreds in Yujing City every year.

Even killing someone on the street can be said to be a gangster who is so bold that he is wanted on the wanted list.

But it involves witchcraft...

But it will make many people lose their heads!

Jiao Xiong remembered an old incident a hundred years ago.

There were people in the palace who practiced witchcraft. Even if they were deceived, the so-called witchcraft was of no use, but it still caused a bloody storm in the court. Hundreds of people were thrown into the sky prison and executed in the autumn.

Now this situation is probably true.

Who knows, what trouble will happen...

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

At this moment, accompanied by fierce scoldings, there was chaos in the rear.

"What?!"

Jiao Xiong was in the middle of the fire. He cursed and turned his head suddenly, but his whole body froze and he quickly bent down and held his hands in his hands:

"I've met General Chu."

I saw a group of Jinwu Guards rushing into the yard, pushing the bad guys around, and even holding their throats with the head of a gun with a fierce look on their faces.

The leader is a tall man with a majestic and square face, wearing Pixiu swallow gold armor and a red cloak.

Of course Jiao Xiong recognized this person and even had many contacts with him. He was surprisingly Chu Shiyuan, the deputy general of the Zuoying of the Jinwu Guard.

His bad commander sounds majestic, but he is just an official, while the other person is actually a fifth-grade military attache.

Although the Liang Dynasty was always on guard against military generals due to the separatist rule of vassal towns in the previous dynasty. He is promoted on time and suppressed on weekdays, but it is far from being offended by a small official like him.

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

He sat down slowly, lowered his head and clasped his nails, blew again, and then asked calmly: "I heard that someone was killed in West City, who was it?"

With a look from Jiao Xiong, a bad guy immediately picked up the head and placed it on the ground.

"The deceased's name is Xiao San."

Jiao Xiong said in a deep voice: "This man was killed by the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago because he committed a murder on the street. I don't know why..."

"fart!"

Chu Shiyuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he scolded: "How come the people who have been asked to be executed are still alive? Do you mean that your colleagues in the Criminal Department are bending the law for personal gain?"

Jiao Xiong was startled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Maybe... I made a mistake."

"What dog eyes!"

Chu Shiyuan snorted coldly, nodded to the men next to him and said, "Go and examine the body."

When one of the Jinwu guards came forward, he drew out his dagger and stabbed Xiao San's head until it was beyond recognition. Then he turned around and said, "Report to the general, the deceased's name is Wang Duyan, and he is a well-known kidnapper in the world."

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

Jiao Xiong swallowed, smiled quickly, slapped himself hard, and then said: "It's just a small dazzle. That person is indeed Wang Duyan. Please punish Master Chu."

"no."

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

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

How could Jiao Xiong dare to say no? He waved his hands to his subordinates and wished he could escape from this place immediately.

"etc."

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

"The humble position knows."

Jiao Xiong's back was covered with cold sweat. After bending down again and handing over his hands, he left in embarrassment with his men.

Not long after they left, a mysterious man wearing a black hood slowly walked in and walked towards the warehouse.

Entering the tunnel, the mysterious man lifted his hood, revealing a scholar in green robes with fair facial features, handsome features, and upturned eyes that looked like fox eyes.

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

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

The fox-eyed scholar blew lightly.

Phew~

The powder surged out, and a ball of red flame immediately enveloped the living squirrel, and burned it to ashes in the blink of an eye.

He then turned around and showed a gentle smile to the frightened children, "Children, you... just experienced a nightmare, you didn't see anything..."

The voice is soft and has a charm.

The children's eyes are gradually becoming confused...

Outside the door, Chu Shiyuan saw the man in black robe entering. He was silent for a while before getting up and walking out the door.

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

Chu Shiyuan opened the curtain and said coldly: "Master Li, I have helped you handle this matter. From now on, I will have no more disputes with the Li family!"

In the car, a handsomely dressed young man smiled and said: "What did General Chu say? Later, I will personally come to thank you..."

"no!"

Chu Shiyuan put down the curtain, turned and left.

In the car, the disdainful laughter of the young man came...
