Chapter 81 Cooking Crane Walk (10)

In the side hall, almost everyone's complexion was ashen, the only exception was that Xie Juncheng, he was not ashen, but a little lost.

But at this time, it seems that no one can criticize anything.

"Brother Hu, help me with the autopsy."

With a livid face, Bai Yousi walked towards him, first slightly cupped his hands at the left-behind deputy Zhou Xiaoming who was stunned, and without waiting for a response, he immediately gave orders to the two competent subordinates. "Zhang Xing comes with me."

Zhang Xing turned back immediately and followed Bai Yousi out of the side hall.

The two of them went out to the side hall, outside were a few knights in brocade clothes who were probing their brains, and outside was a group of Jin Wuwei who were talking a lot but shut up suddenly because someone came out of it, and a few high-quality eunuchs...Obviously , the side hall is vast and guarded layer by layer, and the people on the outermost side don't know what's going on inside.

Under the warm sunshine on a winter morning, Bai Yousi lowered his head, passed these people, and walked to the side palace wall where there was no one there. Then he stopped and turned back, but hesitated for a while, but after a while, she was still wearing a small crown. He lowered his head and opened his mouth in a low voice:

"Zhang Xing, am I being too proud and messing things up?"

"No."

Zhang Xing blurted out the answer, very serious, and he did not deliberately flatter him like last night, this was his sincere words. "With poison in his mouth, this is obviously prepared, deliberately calculated, even the gods can't avoid it... Moreover, the worse the situation is now, the more we have to deal with it immediately, instead of entangled in previous mistakes and carelessness! "

"Then what should I do?" Bai Yousi still didn't look up, but slightly looked up at her most trusted subordinate, who is now recognized as her think tank in Taichung.

"It depends on what you are looking for in the inspection?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment, then asked seriously.

Bai Yousi hesitated to speak.

"To put it bluntly, we are imperial envoys after all, people from Jing'antai. Inspector, you are also a noble daughter of the Bai family, and you are recognized as a noble talent. Even now, we can close the door and be a shrink. Head tortoise, put your mind on the documents for Zhongcheng, everything is waiting for a letter from Taichung, Laigong will not really do anything to us for this." Seeing this, Zhang Xing spoke quickly, but he simply let the words go speak. "But on the other hand, if you want to ask for some kind of law and justice, without any stains, forgive me, the one or two actions here in Jiangdu are so violent, I'm afraid it's the same sentence, it's definitely not about who broke the law and who did it. The report is so simple, there must be something hidden...something that may be worthless, or it may weigh a thousand pounds...So, you will definitely not be able to find out any law enforcement that is as strong as a mountain, and it is bright and clear!"

"I don't want to be a coward, nor do I want to be Bai Qingtian." Bai Yousi finally raised his head, but his eyes were shining brightly, fixed on the person in front of him. "Zhang Xing, my thoughts are the same as what I said last night—the matter is in front of me, and I don't want to be a fool! What I want is for the whole story to be clear, let me know clearly, and wait for the matter to clear up. It is clear, right and wrong, I decide at home, do what I can do, do what I want to do, there is absolutely nothing to be confused about, let alone be someone else's sword!"

"Well."

Zhang Xing responded immediately. "The current situation is very bad, but it is actually not as bad as expected, because although they are all mourning, they are still hesitant and at a loss, and the news has not spread... So, there are two problems right now, one is to control the situation immediately , Only by controlling the situation can we conduct investigations and do things; the other is to immediately launch a comprehensive and rapid investigation and pursuit! And to achieve these two things, we need to act vigorously and do four things in order!"

"You said."

"First of all, let people take over the palace immediately, cut it first and then play... You were right to let brother Hu take over the corpse just now, but it is not enough. You must immediately send me, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Qin Bao and others together to take over the Jinwu Guard and the corpse. The remaining eunuchs and maids of honor, control the leaderless palace!"

"it is good."

"At the same time, inspectors, you have to go directly to Zhou Gong and tell him that Liu Jing in front is nothing, but since something like Zhao Gonggong happened, then you have an incumbent and are determined to take on the matter with all your strength... Tell him that the palace has been taken over and controlled by us, but this is not enough, we must continue to ask for power and people, Xie Mingshan and Liao En must listen to us, and no one will do! The tone must be serious, intense, and Angry! Let everyone understand that you have been calculated, and now you are very angry!"

"I was calculated, and I was very angry!"

"That's good... Duke Zhou may agree to you, but it's even more likely that he won't agree to you, but it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to use offense as defense. Keeping control of the palace is the most important thing. Then there are two keys to investigating the case." Zhang Xing continued to speak. "Eunuch Zhao's behavior is nothing more than two possibilities. One is that he has a guilty conscience and knows that he will die, so he does something before he dies to make everyone unhappy; the other is that he has no choice but to do something for others Humans cover it up! And we have to confront each other... Brother Hu is fundamentally doing what is mentioned in his sentence, so I won’t say much, there are two more things that need to be done right away!”

"Is one of them going after the female assassin?" Bai Yousi understood.

"Not bad." Zhang Xing responded immediately. "Inspector, I know you must have backhands against that female assassin, no matter whether you hid her, or let her go back to the mountain to find her traces again, arrest her immediately now, or publicly sweep up the stronghold you know! "

"I did hide behind, and followed her to Maoshan on the other side of the river, and found a True Fire Sect stronghold." Bai Yousi responded. "After controlling the palace, we dispatched immediately, crossed the river and flattened Maoshan!"

"No, I can't go, and there are still a few people left for me." Zhang Xing shook his head and pointed to himself. "Don't forget, there is one more thing to do, that is, I will stay here in the palace to check the accounts for you... No matter what the reason is, if the two heads of the palace die suddenly, it means that there must be something wrong in the palace, and our floating boat And next, it is impossible for them to clean up the head and tail in a short time! You arrest people, I will check the accounts, and I will definitely find out the reason!"

"it is good."

When Bai Yousi heard this, he didn't hesitate any longer, and directly held his sword and turned back to the side hall.

And Zhang Xing didn't follow in, instead he raised his head, supported the saber without a sheath in his waist, and walked directly towards the group of eunuchs and Jinwu guards - the latter saw Zhang Xing pressing the saber with a serious face, obviously a little bit commotion.

However, halfway through the Jing'an Terrace Baishou, the tall and tall Jingantai Baishou suddenly stopped a few dozen steps in front of the gate of the side hall, then turned and walked in another direction. Oncoming - he should have just tied up his horse and came in, and he didn't know anything.

"Excellent!"

Zhang Xing greeted in a low voice. "The palace is important, come here quickly!"

Zhou Xingfan raised his head and looked at Zhang Sanlang who had been playing with him all day yesterday and called himself out first when he came to the door this morning, and greeted him blankly: "Brother Zhang San, what's wrong in the palace? My father is still inside, should I go in?"

"I know your father is inside!" Zhang Xing took a few steps forward and continued to lower his voice in response. "But now there is an accident, so don't rush in... I have an urgent matter here, but I can't get away. Could you please do me a favor and go to our station to find the patrolman surnamed Han who stayed behind?" Ride over and take him to wait in front of the arsenal? We need to open the arsenal to get some ordnance to use."

Zhou Xingfan obviously hesitated.

"Thank you very much." As Zhang Xing said, he stepped forward and held the other party's hand. "I really can't separate myself here."

Zhou Xingfan finally nodded, but hurried away, not even forgetting to give Zhang Xinggong a hand before walking.

But Zhang Xing watched the other party leave, and heard the hurried footsteps in the hall behind him. Qian Tang and others led the patrols to swarm out. On the steps, although it is condescending, the tone is unexpectedly peaceful:
"Everyone, don't be nervous. The disputes between the big men don't do your business. The court will definitely not wrong people. As imperial envoys, we will not easily lock up innocent people... The key now is to seal off the palace and keep everyone safe. All doors must be locked, and no one is allowed to open or close unless Bai Shou comes forward; the Jinwu guards, internal servants, and maids in the palace must all check the lists and actual persons; the inventory must also be checked... Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the small amount does not match, We are not here to investigate this, but if we dare to resist the court's order, no matter who it is, we must strictly enforce the law. But is there anything else you don't understand?"

While speaking, Qian Tang and the others had already come over with their swords and stood in a row with Zhang Xingli.

Under the heavy pressure, the officers of the Jinwu Guard didn't have any extra thoughts and handed over their hands, but several high-ranking eunuchs obviously hesitated.

Then, one of the elderly eunuchs finally faced each other under the urging of his colleagues: "Everyone, we naturally have to cooperate with Jing'antai to investigate what, but what happened to Eunuch Zhao? There is a saying, should we wait?" Waiting for his results or words?"

Zhang Xing nodded, turned sideways to get out of the way, then held the knife in one hand, and pointed to the hall with the other: "This father-in-law asked us how many white ribbons and patrol riders, how do we know? But, you saw it with your own eyes early in the morning. Now Jiangdu is full of people who talk and do things... this father-in-law has any doubts, why doesn't he go in and ask himself?"

The elder eunuch laughed dryly, and quickly shook his head: "This Bai Shou is just joking... how can I go in and ask this? I'd better go back to the left corridor, wake up a few monkey cubs, and check the horses before we talk about it."

Zhang Xing immediately stretched out his hand, signaling the other party to act immediately.

The eunuch had no choice but to walk away, and the eunuchs and officers around him also rushed away.

Zhang Xing no longer hesitated, and turned to the others: "The matter is urgent and serious, and the palace must be tightly sealed. Below the seventh rank, it is not considered an official of the imperial court. Anyone who makes a slight mistake will be killed immediately. Take control of the situation, starting from the four gates. Layers inward!"

Several people were complacent about Bai Yousi's words, they didn't have time to worry about why Zhang Xing was giving orders, but they all nodded and walked in all directions.

When the crowd dispersed, Zhang Xingfu came to the hall again.

As soon as he entered the side hall, he saw Bai Yousi pulling out his long sword in his arms in the hall. The sword light flashed, and it was impossible to see the way. A table table several feet away shattered on the spot. The female inspector got angry in the palace:
"Liao Zhushou! You are also from Taichung, Jing'an, and you must know the rules. When will it be the turn of Zhu Shou from the governor of Dongzhen to break up in front of the inspector of the governor of Zhongzhen?! If you are really dissatisfied, follow the rules of Taichung and act accordingly." After a while, why bother talking about the unity of Jiangdu and using officialdom to provoke me? Don’t you know what family law is?!”

After a moment of silence in the hall, Zhou Xiaoming, who was dressed in casual clothes, suddenly said, "Niece Xian has successfully condensed the alchemy, have you started to visualize external objects?"

"That's right." Bai Yousi held his sword and looked back at each other coldly. "So, this matter, who is better than me? Please don't hesitate, Duke Zhou!"

"Then I will leave this matter to you for the time being." Zhou Xiaoming nodded. "I'll just wait for your results...but don't always scare people with your status as an imperial envoy and your own cultivation."

"It's natural." Bai Yousi's tone softened.

Zhou Xiaoming sighed, shook his head, turned around and came out of the hall, walked to the entrance of the hall, looked around, was surprised for a while, and then looked at Zhang Xing standing on the threshold: "Where is my son? Didn't he let the horse go?" Is it? Is it not here yet?"

"Report to Duke Zhou." Zhang Xing bowed his hands. "It's like this. I just wanted to seal off the key points of the palace, but there was a shortage of manpower. And I hit it off with Mr. Zhou, like close brothers, so I asked him to help take over the arsenal. Maybe I'm still busy... how about a junior like me?" Accompany Duke Zhou back to the mansion first?"

Zhou Xiaoming was stunned for a while, then shook his head: "No, I don't believe that I can meet an assassin when I go home."

As he said that, the de facto ruler of Jiangdu took a few steps outside with his hands behind his back. He heard the noise from the outside, and knew that the Jinyi patrol group was recruiting and controlling the palace, but he couldn't help sighing and turned his head. Glancing at Zhang Xing who was standing on the threshold and Bai Yousi who was chasing after him, he shook his head again: "There are talents from Jingantai!"

With that said, he finally left on his own.
