Great Song catcher

Chapter 291 Doubt

The next day, at noon.

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming took advantage of the darkness to rush on their way, first went to Liulongkou at the scene of the crime and walked around, but as Nie Feng expected, all traces were covered up due to the heavy snow for days, and now it is difficult to find anything , So the two turned to Huaizhou and walked along the official road for about two and a half hours before arriving outside the city of Huaizhou.

Because the case of disaster silver being robbed has not yet been solved, the security of Huaizhou City is extremely strict. Not only has heavy soldiers been guarded at the gate of the city, but even a master of the Condensation Realm has been sent to lead the formation, and pedestrians who come and go must undergo strict inspection. , was allowed to be put into the city.

"stop!"

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming walked to the gate of the city.

Before they could speak, the master of the Condensation Realm walked over. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to see the cultivation bases of Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming. At this juncture, a master of the Condensation Realm, and A master of heaven and man came to Huaizhou City, and he was not allowed to be indifferent.

"You two, where are you from? Is there an official to guide you?"

Official guides in this era are equivalent to the identity certificates of later generations. The age and place of origin of the person are written on it, which is issued by the government. If there is no official guide, then it is a black household. Arrested and sent to prison.

Nie Feng took out his waist card from his waist and said: "I am Nie Feng, a mysterious-level arrester from the Six Doors of Youzhou, and this is my colleague, Xiao Wuming, a mysterious-level arrester from the Six Doors of Youzhou. The two were ordered to come to Huaizhou to investigate the robbery of the disaster relief money."

"It turns out that the two are masters of the six doors, please!"

The city guard breathed a sigh of relief. Huaizhou City was in troubled times, and there were also problems inside the six local gates. Fortunately, the higher-ups sent people here. If they can be sent here at this time, the cultivation base and ability will be greatly improved. There must be nothing to say, especially when he heard Nie Feng's name, his heart became more calm. After all, he had heard of Nie Feng's name in Youzhou. Among the younger generation, Nie Feng's limelight is even greater. It's the same for a while, even surpassing the fourth master of martial arts.

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming walked into Huaizhou City, and a dead air came over them.

The streets are empty, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. The snowstorm in the territory of Hebei Province has almost set Hebei Province back by 30 years. Although the government has tried its best to recover the losses, it is still extremely depressed.

The two did not go directly to the Liufanmen branch, but came to the governor's office in Huaizhou, because this is the administrative center of Hebei Province, the governor is in charge of the government affairs of Huaizhou, and the governor of Hebei Province, who is in charge of the military power, also transferred his mansion established here.

When they reached the gate of the government office, two policemen blocked Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming's way.

"who?"

Seeing the appearance of the two police officers as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Nie Feng was a little surprised. This is at the gate of the Yamen in Huaizhou Prefecture. Do you need to be so nervous?

Or was there some accident that happened during this period, which made them so like a snake, like a snake?

"We are people with six doors!"

Nie Feng handed over the token.

But where the two policemen knew the authenticity of the token, Nie Feng saw their perplexed look, and chuckled lightly, "Just take the token in and show it to the Governor, and you'll know."

"Two wait a moment!"

A catcher quickly ran into the government office with a token.

The other policeman was still holding the steel knife in his hand nervously.

"Brother, don't be so nervous..."

But having said that, the policeman still didn't relax.

"Has anything happened these days?"

Nie Feng asked with a frown.

Just when the policeman didn't know whether to answer or not, the policeman who went in earlier came out with a middle-aged man.

"My lords, this is Master Liu of our government office."

The catcher cupped his hands.

"The humble Liu Zheng pays his respects to the two adults."

After Master Liu came out, he bowed to Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming.

"Master Liu, you are welcome."

As the master next to the governor, Liu Zheng can also be regarded as his housekeeper. Although he has no official position, he has a lot of real power.

But Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming are both mysterious-level arresters of the six-door family. In terms of official positions, they should be at the same level as the fourth-rank governor. That's why Liu Zhengcai is so polite, and he still has something to ask for in his heart.

"My lords, please come in."

Liu Zheng stepped aside to get out of the way, and took Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming into the mansion.

The government office is still heavily guarded. In addition to the fast arresters, there are also many heavily armed sergeants.

Xiao Wuming asked: "Master Liu, why are there still military guards here?"

"This is also a last resort." Liu Zhengchang sighed: "A few days ago, a group of killers sneaked into Huaizhou City, trying to assassinate the Governor. The treasured sword in his hand protected his life, and afterwards, in order to have this kind of assassination happen again, the general transferred his guards to the governor's yamen."

"You mean someone dared to blatantly assassinate Governor Qian!"

Nie Feng never imagined that someone would dare to assassinate a state official in Yizhou.

"That's right, fortunately the governor was only slightly injured." A lingering fear flashed across Liu Zheng's face.

"Has the murderer been caught?"

Xiao Wuming asked again.

"A few people were caught alive, but they all committed suicide by taking poison."

"Dead man!"

Nie Feng said: "If you miss a hit, you will immediately drink poison and kill yourself. This is a typical killer."

"My lord said that, and the general thinks so too, please, my lords!"

While speaking, the three of them walked through the front hall and came to the residence in the backyard.

The security here is even stricter than that in the front, all of them are warriors wearing iron armor and holding sharp knives.

"My lord, the two lords from the six doors have been invited."

Liu Zheng stood at the door and whispered.

"Please come in..."

As the sound came out, two servants pushed the door open, and a strong smell of medicine wafted into their nostrils.

Walking into the room, I saw a white-faced Confucian scholar sitting on a chair, with a white cloth wrapped around his right leg, and the smell of medicine came from under the white cloth.

"I haven't come out to meet you, please don't take offense, you two, in fact, this leg is inconvenient... Hurry up and take your seat!"

The white-faced Confucian scholar smiled wryly and cupped his hands at the two of them.

"Master Qian is too polite."

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming bowed their hands and returned the gift
Qian Feng, governor of Huaizhou, has been an official for more than ten years and is well-known in Hebei.

"Old Qian, I heard that the person from Six Doors is here!"

While the three were talking, a rough voice came from outside.

Then I saw a middle-aged man in armor walking in from the outside.

"Two, this is the governor of Hebei Province, Zhenbian Hou Wang Longchuan." Qian Feng introduced.

Governor of Hebei Province.

The military of the Great Song Dynasty is a first-rank official.

In particular, this Wang Longchuan was conferred the title of First Rank Marquis because of his outstanding military exploits.

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming hurriedly got up to salute, "I've seen Lord Hou!"

"The two of you are from the Six Doors?"

Wang Longchuan looked the two of them up and down, nodded and said: "Not bad, very good, a young talent, don't give up on others."

"Master Hou is too famous."

"Okay, don't be too polite, now it's not in court, so you don't have to be so restrained in private." Qian Feng said with a smile.

From Wang Longchuan's address to Qian Feng just now, it can be heard that the two have a great friendship, and it is by no means just as simple as colleagues.

"Yes, the rules in the court are in the court, so you don't need them in private. What bothers me the most is these red tapes."

Wang Longchuan pushed Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming onto the chairs, and then said to Liu Zheng, "Hurry up and arrange meals. These two must have come here from a long way away, and they must be very hungry. Hurry up."

Xiao Wuming looked dumbfounded and laughed, this Marquis Zhenbian is a wonderful person, he has no self-knowledge that he is a guest at all, as if he is the owner of this place.

"General, the little one has already been arranged."

Regarding Wang Longchuan's behavior, Liu Zheng seemed to be no stranger to it, and Qian Feng also looked indifferent.

"Master Qian, your leg..."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xiao Wuming asked about Qian Feng's leg.

Just now Liu Zheng said that he was only slightly injured, but looking at it like this, it doesn’t look like an ordinary minor injury. She was also familiar with medical books when she was in the Fire Worship Cult. You can smell it in the smell of the medicine, and the medicinal materials used are basically the medicinal materials that connect the tendons and connect the veins.

"It's his fate. If I hadn't been here that night, we would all have to offer incense in front of his grave now." The anger in Wang Longchuan's tone was hard to suppress, "Even I almost died at their hands Here, if I catch these thieves, I must light them up on sky lanterns!"

"What is the origin of this group of thieves? They are too courageous. They dared to directly assassinate a state official without paying attention to the court at all." Nie Feng also said.

"do not know."

Qian Fengdao: "But I can be sure that they are all masters, and they are ruthless. They treat others as well as themselves. Once they are captured, they will immediately take poison and commit suicide."

"This is exactly how a dead man behaves!" Wang Longchuan said.

"Aren't there any clues left?" Nie Feng asked unwillingly.

"No." Liu Zheng said, "They don't have any marks on their bodies, and the weapons they use are all ordinary guys."

"Could it be the same group as those who robbed the disaster silver?"

Xiao Wuming said suddenly.

The room was silent.

Qian Feng sighed: "My Lord Hou and I also think so."

"First they plundered the disaster money, so that the people affected by the disaster could not be rescued, and then they came to assassinate the adults. If they succeeded, as long as they fueled the flames behind the scenes, there would be a civil uprising, and then things would become big. Don't die. Hundreds of people can't calm down at all."

"Could it be someone from the White Lotus Sect again?"

Nie Feng couldn't help muttering.

This kind of thing that makes the world chaotic is exactly the style of the White Lotus Sect, but the White Lotus Sect may not have that power. Although the White Lotus Sect claims to have millions of followers, there are not many masters who can really get it. The envoy was seriously injured the previous day, so they shouldn't take the initiative to find trouble at this time, right?
