Jiaohua

Chapter 1313 Shen Lie Behind
When they came to Hejing this time, they needed to bring two things back.

One is from Tao Mao.

One is Li Ju's head.

However, the strict protection of Jinping Palace far exceeded their expectations. After the two rainstorms, the Li Qian Dynasty, which had been out of balance for a long time, would become even more disorderly. As a result, the entire imperial city became an iron wall.

A few days ago, they sent people to spy at night, and Li Ju's Yanguang Palace even tore down the four walls of the palace, and replaced them with densely packed black iron armored guards.

Not only are these black iron armored guards working day and night, they rotate in three shifts, the Yanguang Hall without the four walls has a wider view, and if there are any changes in the idlers, you can see everything in the Yanguang Hall.

It is almost more difficult for them to attack Li Ju.

And now, Meteor was killed.

The room fell into a brief silence, and after a while, the old man said: "Meteor's death...does it mean that we have been exposed?"

The attendant glanced at him, raised his hand to pour water from the teapot on the table, and he drank another cup, saying: "Yes."

"How could it be?" The master couldn't figure it out, "We haven't done anything in the past few days. If we really want to say that we were exposed, it was only the lines that were laid to catch Tao Mao a while ago, but now they have all been safely collected."

The entourage was silent.

The master continued: "Then what should we do now?"

The entourage said: "Madam and Master Heyan, what did you say at the beginning?"

The master said: "Madam said that you must see Li Shi's head, otherwise don't go back. Master He Yan said that if there is any abnormality, leave quickly. But..."

The attendant looked up at him.

"However," the master continued, "we have found Tao Mao, which is already a great achievement in front of Madam. She should not be angry, but it is difficult for us to deal with Master Yan. At least we need to figure out how to kill Meteor. The murderer, if we don't even know who this person is, we will only be severely punished when we go back."

The follower said: "Meteor's body is still thrown there."

The master frowned: "Where is it?"

"Behind the Hedong warehouse, when I found him, there were a lot of corpse spots on him, and he had been dead for a while."

With that said, the attendant took out something.

The master walked to his side, and saw that he took off the handkerchief, and there was a bunch of hair lying inside.

The body could not be brought back, nor could it be burned on the spot to be ashes, so they could only cut off a handful of hair and bring them back to their homeland.

The entourage said: "I moved his body and hid it. What I thought was that after the stench and smell dissipated in the future, let the government here treat him as an unknown male corpse and deal with it."

The master looked at the hair and said, "Except for the wound, there are other things found at the scene."

"No, but seeing the wound, it should be a peerless weapon."

"Peerless." The master noticed this description.

The entourage thought for a while and said: "You just said that it is reasonable. If we don't even know who killed the meteor, we won't be able to pay off when we go back."

"Send immediately to bring his body back?"

"I don't know if that master will go back."

The master pondered for a while, and said: "You can send someone to report to the government first, and the government will come forward, and we will arrange people to exchange the body."

"That's the only way to go," said the entourage, "I'll just listen to you."

The voice of the two discussing became lower, the master opened the door and left the room.

The business downstairs of the Kangshan noodle restaurant is good. When the master comes downstairs, the clerks greet him respectfully.

The master went to the counter and whispered in the cashier's ear.

The accountant looked shocked.

"Go," said the master in a low voice.

"Well, I'll make arrangements now." The accountant immediately put down his pen.

There was a little boy sitting near the counter, looking a little dull, holding a bowl in his hand, and quietly looked towards the accountant who was leaving.

"Come on!" the man shouted, and came over with a bowl of hot noodle soup.

The little boy said, "Can you pour half of the noodle soup into this bowl? I want to take it home for my family to eat."

"Still a good boy! No problem!" said the man.

He poured half of the noodle soup into the bowl, and not a single drop of soup spilled out.

The little boy grabbed the chopsticks and started to gobble it up.

The accountant never came back, and the master took over the work of the accountant behind the counter.

Not long after, a man came in from the outside. He was about to go upstairs when he saw the master behind the counter. The man walked towards the counter.

The little boy raised his head and glanced at the man like he would look at passers-by.

The man walked quickly to the side of the master, and he whispered in the ear of the master just like the master whispered in the accountant's ear.

The old man showed surprise on his face, and soon became serious again.

The two chatted in a low voice, but after a few words, the master asked the man to go upstairs first to find his followers.

The master continued to work as an accountant behind the counter, but Xiaotong obviously noticed that his mind was very distracted.

The half bowl of noodles was eaten very quickly. After eating, Xiao Tong paid the bill and left with the remaining half bowl of noodle soup.

As soon as he came out, he burrowed into an alley, put down the soup in a secluded corner of the alley, and whistled.

The dog who smelled it suddenly ran from a secluded corner, wagging its tail happily and crazily.

Where the dog came out, a thin, slender and handsome man stepped out with a sword in his arms.

As soon as he saw him, Xiao Tong was both nervous and happy. He had never seen such a handsome, dazzling, elegant and noble man. He hurried forward and told him what he saw in the noodle shop just now.

After finishing speaking, the little boy blamed himself a little: "Their voices are too low, I can't hear some of them clearly, but I can confirm that I heard Yamen, Jilaifang and Tianrongwei."

Shen Lie asked, "Where is Jilaifang?"

"It's on Rongxi Street! A tavern! I'm familiar with it. I often run errands for the neighbors to buy wine!"

Shen Lie said: "Thank you."

He handed out a silver coin.

The little boy's eyes brightened, and he quickly took it with both hands: "Wow!"

Shen Lie said: "Go to the money shop near the official mansion first and exchange it for loose silver coins before spending, so as not to risk revealing your wealth. Remember, you have to be near the official mansion."

"Remember the little ones, remember the little ones," the little boy said happily, "The little ones must do the same! The money shop near the government will not dare to mess around!"

In the noodle restaurant, the man who just came back from the outside quickly went upstairs and entered the room.

Xia Zhaoyi, who was on the other side of the wall, was about to leave, but when he heard the movement, he posted it back.

The entourage said: "Tian Rongwei's actions?"

The man who came back said: "Yes, in Jilaifang, there will be actions tonight."

The entourage said: "Jilaifang, is it the one on Rongxi Street?"

"Well, since Lu Mingfeng was arrested, Tianrongwei has been sluggish, but they seem to take this action tonight very seriously."

The entourage said in a low voice: "I don't know if it has something to do with Li Ju calling the generals who lived in the capital of the guard into the palace yesterday."

"Shall we arrange for people to go to the theater?"

The entourage paused and said, "Meteor is dead."

The man who came back was shocked: "What?! Who killed it and how?"

Simply tell me.

"It sounds like an assassination, but Meteor is so good..." The man who came back didn't say any more.

Ever since sneaking around here and starting to eavesdrop, Xia Zhaoyi heard the people next door talk about that Meteor's skills more than once.

Now, Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but wonder who would assassinate Meteor.
