Jiaohua

There are three candles in the small underground room, one on the table and one on each side.

When Chong Menhui got angry, his face suddenly became ferocious in the faint candlelight.

Knowing that he was a grumpy little old man, Mu Yuhai hurriedly said respectfully: "Senior, calm down, I will tell you this little one."

Mu Yuhai started talking about the Palace of Political Science and Literature before the palace change, but Chongmenhui interrupted him by raising his hand, and asked him to start from the discovery of the four black-clothed men's bodies in the Zhaixing Tower.

Mu Yuhai took the order, hesitated for a while, and said: "However, although the younger one was in the Star Picking Tower that night, the younger one was in the Xunji Hall at the time. The incident happened in the scripture room and Jilu Pavilion. The villain knows There are really not many."

"What to say." Chongmenhui said.

"Yes."

Mu Yuhai really didn't know much, and the information was very mixed, all he heard from others.

After hearing what he said, Chong Menhui sorted out the details, rolled his eyes, and cursed: "You are such a waste, you are in the Zhaixing Tower, and you can't figure out what happened near the water tower!"

A sloppy man of medium height at the table said: "These men in black risked their lives to enter the palace at that time, there must be something urgent."

Mu Yuhai said in a weak voice, "Senior, I almost thought that they were sent by you..."

Chong Menhui roared: "I will definitely contact you if I send you!"

"Well... Senior is right."

Quan Jiuwei's eyebrows were deep, and he said: "Going to the Zhaixing Tower has two purposes. One is to use the Xunji Hall to observe the stars and determine divination, and the other is to want to pick up the ritual vessels or scriptures in the Xunji Tower. At that time, the Xunji Hall They are all human beings, so it must be the latter. When Empress Nangong has a big funeral, the entire imperial court is unprecedentedly lively, and if they dare to enter the palace at that time, they must be fully prepared." After a pause, Quan Jiuwei looked at Mu Yu Hai, "Who was there who was still alive at that time?"

"No, quite a few, but most of them were stunned."

"I'll give you five hours to investigate clearly," Quan Jiuwei said in a cold voice, "I want all the names of these people."

Mu Yuhai bit the bullet and said, "Yes."

Quan Jiuwei sent Mu Yuhai away, and sat down opposite Chongmenhui when he came back.

Chong Menhui, who was full after eating the roast chicken, took out a small bamboo tube, which was not big, and contained the palace jade liquid he had spent a lot of time in.

After drinking all the wine in the bamboo tube in one breath, Chong Menhui let out a loud cry of joy, squeaking his mouth in satisfaction.

"Father, what do you think?" Quan Jiuwei asked, "Those men in black don't sound like Ah Li's."

Chong Menhui put away the bamboo tube and said, "That's too wide, there's no way to guess. Even Zhuang Mengyao from the Jiangnan barracks, who has been talking about it all these years, may be someone they sent."

Quan Jiuwei said: "Why don't I go back to Xizhou and let Zhang Yunyun persuade his father to contact the people from the Taishi Bureau to find out?"

Chong Menhui thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, just go there."

The whole Hejing hasn't been this lively for a long time.

It was already very dark at night, but most of the lights in the city were on.

The strong wind has passed for more than half a month, but the repair work seems to have officially begun.Quan Jiuwei prepared the water and dry food for the journey, and after walking for less than half an hour, he arrived at the west city gate. The high-pitched voices of men came from afar. As the shouts became louder and denser, Quan Jiuwei saw, The entire city wall was knocked down by them.

The violent sound of "Boom" set off a thick billowing dust and smoke, rushing towards the crowd.

The men who were prepared ran away immediately, and the passers-by who watched the excitement followed suit.

Quan Jiuwei raised his arms to cover his mouth and nose, and narrowed his eyes.

When the dust and smoke dissipated slightly, several officials from the Ministry of Industry in charge called for someone to count the wounded. After learning that there were no casualties, an official from the Ministry of Industry climbed onto the high table and shouted happily: "The above said that if there are no casualties, each There are rewards! In addition to our wages, we will also reward rice and money!! This rice and money, we have it!!"

All the workers present immediately applauded and cheered.

Most of the passers-by watching from a distance were women and children, and they clapped their hands happily when they heard the news.

Quan Jiuwei raised his hand and waved the dust and smoke in front of him, seeing a woman in front of him even weeping with joy, he frowned in disgust, feeling disappointed and nauseated.

The emperor fell down, and he didn't know how to cry and laugh.

Of course, he didn't like Li Ju either, because the Pan family was destroyed by Li Ju.

He was just disgusted that these supposedly poor people suddenly had money and rice.

"Bah!" Quan Jiuwei spat and walked to the other side.

He and Chong Menhui arrived in Hejing at noon, but they entered through the northeast city gate, and now he was going to Xizhou, so he had to leave through the west gate.

There was not much movement at the northeast city gate, but he went to several big city gates in the direction of Xizhou at the moment, and all of them were surrounded by people working.

After walking down all night, it was almost midnight, his feet were sore and sore, but he didn't even go out of the city gate.

Quan Jiuwei found a dark alley and sat down, took out the water bag from the bag to drink water, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt in his heart, after putting the water bag back, he saw the dagger in the bag.

Quan Jiuwei took out the dagger and pulled it out slowly, only revealing the three-inch blade, its silver light was enough to show its sharpness.

He looked sideways at the intersection, and if anyone passed by this way later, he would poke him as soon as he got there, just to relieve his anger.

It didn't take long for this idea to come up, and I saw two women coming, both of them looked happy.

The older one held a pair of rotten shoes and said happily: "My Dalang just came home. He wanted to do more, but the adult disagreed, saying that if he did too much, he would lose his life. My Erlang just left for a short time, and we Remembering that he was wearing these worn-out shoes, I sent him his good pair of shoes. Look at how broken these shoes are."

Another woman said: "I came back to pick up needles and threads. I have been working there with my family Dayong. I heard that they are hiring people to embroider things, but I don't know what to embroider. Haha, I'll talk about it when I go!"

The old woman sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect that it will be better this day. A few days ago, I was worried that I would not be able to get rid of the pot. How could I make money all of a sudden."

"Yeah! It's all busy!"

They got closer and closer, and when the older woman arrived home, the other said goodbye to her and walked towards Quan Jiuwei.

The joy on the woman's face did not fade, and she didn't even notice the man sitting in the dark staring at her.

When she was only about ten steps away from Quan Jiuwei, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Get out of the way, everyone out of the way, everyone out of the way!!"

"Give way, hurry up, give way to those behind!!"

The woman frowned, turned her head and ran outside, not knowing what happened.

Quan Jiuwei suddenly drew his sword and chased after the woman.

It's just that the farther you go, the brighter the lights are, and when you are about to catch up with the woman, there are people everywhere outside the alley, Quan Jiuwei had no choice but to withdraw his knife.

The woman turned her head when she heard the movement, and was shocked when she saw a man appearing out of nowhere.

"Go away!" Quan Jiuwei yelled viciously, pushing the woman away and going out.
