Luo nine needles

Chapter 305 Silence

Xu Cheng Qixing, who are they?

Why do you feel so familiar?
The commander of the Wei capital was still thinking about this question in his dream, and his head hurt a little. As the commander of the imperial army, he had seen and heard too many people, but not many he could remember and have an impression of.

Xu Cheng, Seven Stars.

"Father, look at this makeup box I just bought." The youngest daughter's voice rang in my ear, "It's very expensive."

Then he quoted a price, and the commander of Wei Du in the dream couldn't help frowning. Although it is reasonable to say that men shouldn't be so stingy, and the Wei family is not poor. I have to find a way to add a house
How dare you ask for so much money for a wooden cosmetic box!
"Father, this is from Linglong Square in Xucheng. The Seventh Shopkeeper made it himself. It's hard to get it. The Seventh Shopkeeper is too busy."

Commander Wei Du suddenly opened his eyes.

Xucheng Linglongfang, seven, shopkeeper!

Opening his eyes, he woke up from the dream, and the surrounding area was instantly noisier than in the dream, and his head hurt even more from the impact.

He looked outside, and at this time he had returned to the post station in Xincheng. The fire was shining, almost turning the night into day. There were people walking around in disorder outside, and there were whispers everywhere. When the whispers gathered together, they became an annoying noise .

"Have you discussed the rules?" He got up and walked out, asking the guard outside the door.

The guard shook his head: "It's still arguing."

Commander Wei Du looked towards the hall. Everyone was stunned by the sudden incident during the day. Miss Xiahou found it, and Lu Yizhi died. Not only did he die, but he was also pointed out as Motu. The officials who were not there were even more insane.

And Zhang Yuan, the servant of Jingzhao Mansion, was going to take the woman who killed Lu Yizhi away.

Even if he said that it was the Mo disciples killing each other, he couldn't just lead them away like this.

What's more, this matter is too unbelievable, it is not certain that he is talking nonsense!

The commander of Weidu recovered from the shock, and immediately detained everyone, including the yelling Xincheng guards who knew nothing. These people escorted back to the station.

The post station became a forbidden place, and this horrific event was intercepted here.

But it's impossible to stop it. For such a big event, this is a new city after all. Also, General Liang Shiwei of the Northern Navy is about to arrive. How can the officials greet them?

Some officials asked everyone to return to Beijing immediately, and General Liang of the Beihai Navy stopped picking them up, but some officials objected, saying that would not be a slap in the face of the emperor. The court officials are not dead, this is a court affair, not Lu Yizhi's affair!
Whether to leave or stay is actually secondary. The most important thing must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, but how to report is still up for discussion.

Did Lu Yizhi, a Hanlin scholar, die, or was Lu Yizhi, an Motu student, killed?

It was almost dawn, and the letter to the capital had not yet been written.

The Commander of Wei Du saw the crowds in the hall moving, and the figures were shaking, and he was not in the mood to join in the fun, and looked to a room on the left.

The lights are on and it's quiet.

"Miss Xia Hou is awake?" Commander Wei Du asked.

The guard shook his head: "The doctors are guarding, and they haven't woken up."

Commander Wei Du pressed his head, which was also a headache.

It is a good thing that Ms. Xiahou is lost and recovered, but her appearance in Xincheng, especially Lu Yizhi's side, doesn't it confirm Mr. Xiahou's complaint?

But Lu Yizhi died again, stabbed through the heart with a knife, and Miss Xiahou held a dagger tightly in her hand, and couldn't pull it out even after she passed out in a coma
Yes, Miss Xiahou also passed out on the spot. The doctor saw that she had been fed too much drug, and there was nothing she could do but treat her slowly.

So there is no way to ask what happened.

"Is there any danger?" Commander Wei Du asked.

Bingwei shook his head again: "The doctor said it seems to be all right."

Commander Wei Du frowned: "What is it like?"

"It seems that although Miss Xiahou is in a coma, she has been given water, medicine and food." Beibei said.

If you can eat and drink, you should be fine.

What, Commander Wei Du thought, is Miss Xiahou pretending to be unconscious?But it's understandable for a boudoir woman who doesn't want to be questioned by strangers and just waits to see her family.

Women are such a headache.

Commander Wei Du moved his gaze to the other side, and there was a woman who was even more troublesome.

On the left side of the inn, there are three rooms in a row. At this time, other places in the inn are crowded with people. Only the three rooms here are empty, and outside the three rooms, almost three layers of imperial guards are surrounded, like iron barrels.

Of the three rooms, only one was actually occupied. The door in the middle was open and the lights were bright. The beds, tables, chairs and other idle items in the room had been emptied, and two people were sitting on the floor.

Both of them had their eyes closed, and they seemed to be sleeping. A chain was wrapped around the woman's hands, and the other end of the chain was tied to Zhang Yuan's arm.

This scene looked very strange.

The Commander of Wei Du stood outside the door and coughed. The woman opened her eyes to look at him first, and smiled politely.
Indeed, like a shopkeeper, Commander Wei Du had this thought in his mind.

He looked away from her and looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Come out and say something." He said directly.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and remained motionless, only saying: "The felon is in custody, and he is not allowed to leave half a step."

What a ghost!If he hadn't found out about his family, Zhang Yuan's ancestors were indeed servants in the capital's yamen, and the commander of Weidu really knew about this family. Otherwise, it wouldn't be wrong to arrest him as a suspect with such an attitude!

He did not resist when he brought Zhang Yuan back to the inn at the mountain goods store, he only had one request, not to be separated from this woman for a moment.

"How did the interrogation go?" Wei Du's commander gritted his teeth and asked, "How did Lu Yizhi die? What happened to Miss Xiahou?"

Only then did Zhang Yuan open his eyes, looked at him and said, "This is not the case I'm investigating. What I'm investigating is the case of kidnapping Liu Wenchang's murderer."

What Liu Wenchang!I have never heard of it in the capital, so it must not be a big case, can it be as important as Lu Yizhi and Miss Xiahou?Commander Wei Du said angrily: "Then you hand him over to us for interrogation now!"

Zhang Yuan looked at him: "The Liu Wenchang case involves Mo Tu, Mo Tu is good at disguising, and is everywhere. These seven stars are Mo Tu, and Lu Yizhi is also Mo Tu, and you are Lu Yizhi's colleagues."

The commander of Weidu was furious: "You are saying that we are all Motu! What evidence do you have!"

"I have no evidence." Zhang Yuan said, sitting up straight, his arm driving the chain to ring, and raising his voice, "But Lu Yizhi can sneak into the court, who knows how many Mo disciples there are in the court! So I don't believe you! "

He said and sat back down.

"I have already sent a letter to Jingzhao Mansion. Before returning to the capital, I will not hand over the suspect to anyone."

Having said that, I said oh again.

"Just report to His Majesty that Lu Yizhi is Motu. I have solid evidence that he is Motu."

Talking and laughing.

The smile wasn't pretty, and Commander Wei Du got goosebumps just looking at it.

"If you know who this lady is."

Zhang Yuan said, he glanced at Qixing beside him, and then at Commander Wei Du, his eyes were very meaningful.

"You definitely don't want to ask."

who is it?Isn't it the shopkeeper of Linglongfang, a craftsman, the commander of Weidu also knows something about Momen, most of them are craftsmen, good at hiding their identities, it is not surprising, this mysterious ghostly appearance of Yuanshen, Wei Commander Du looked at Zhang Yuan angrily: "But before returning to Beijing, you didn't tell us anything, did you?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Yes."

The Commander of Weidu gave a snort: "Okay, let's report it like this!" After saying that, he turned and left, then turned back and sneered, "When Motu is involved, His Majesty will definitely let Duchasi take over when the time comes, and wait for Huo Lian to come to you , see if you dare to do this!"

Zhang Yuan laughed: "Duchasi, Huo Lian."

He repeated this sentence twice, and then looked at Commander Wei Du with a weird and strange smile on his face.

"I'm afraid he won't come."

Commander Wei Du frowned, this old boy looks very abnormal, what is normal, everything that is happening now is abnormal, he is going crazy!

He said no more, shook his sleeves and left.

Quiet was restored here, Qixing glanced at Zhang Yuan: "What else do you want to say?"

Zhang Yuan also glanced at her. After a few words during the arrest, although they have been locked together, they did not speak again.

Regarding the case, I will ask him again when I return to Beijing, but I can't catch Gundilong even if I ask him now.

Besides the case, he had nothing to say to her.

Zhang Yuan remained silent.

Qi Xing said, "Then I'll sleep."

After speaking, he raised his hand to support his head and closed his eyes.

Zhang Yuan looked around without vigilance, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a low voice: "I know I can catch you, you let me catch you, if you want to run, I can't watch at all."

Qixing, who rested on his head, seemed to have fallen asleep, and did not hear or speak.

Zhang Yuan tightened the chain on his arm: "However, if you are guilty, you must be questioned. I will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice!"

He closed his eyes after saying that.

The two people who caused this change didn't know if they really fell asleep. The others in the station stayed up all night and finally made a decision. To tell the truth, they described the matter truthfully and described what they knew. As for what they didn't know Let this Zhang Yuan tell His Majesty about these things!
The urgent report was sent to the capital with the light of day.

The post station was also in a hurry again, the letters and newspapers were delivered, and people had to follow them into Beijing.

Lu Yizhi's body, Miss Xia Hou, Zhang Yuan and his prisoners, and Xincheng's guards were also taken away, and everyone was turned on their backs for a while.

"You don't need to do anything, just wait for the people from the Beihai Navy to come, as long as someone is there." An official said hoarsely to the remaining officials who were elected, of course the one with the lowest position in the line.

Although this kind of thing happened, no one wants to go to the emperor to make trouble, but if they don't go, the emperor will not let them go. This time it is really troublesome to advance or retreat. This position is the lowest, no matter how troublesome it is, the position will also be lowered If you don't go anywhere, it's better to stay and do your duty, maybe you can still find peace.

While talking here, there was another sound of horseshoes outside.

"Here we come, here we come." The soldier shouted, "The Northern Navy has arrived—"

These words made the officials in a hurry even more dizzy, and it was faster than expected. An official shouted hoarsely: "Go, just say that the imperial decree tells them to wait in place! Don't come over!"

The letter soldiers who had just entered the door turned around and headed north without stopping.

The galloping horses came and went on the main road, stopped in place with a sound, and a small camp was set up on the side of the road in a blink of an eye.

Liang's military flag moves with the wind.

Liang Liuzi also wanted to move quietly, but just as he led the horse out of the camp, an arrow flew past his shoulder.

"Second brother, I just want to go to a nearby town to buy something to eat." Liang Liuzi complained, looking back at Liang Erzi who was standing in front of the tent.

Liang Erzi said: "Stop talking nonsense, it will be strange if you believe me, you must have to find out what happened."

Liang Liuzi also stopped pretending, saying: "It is necessary to be defensive."

They were about to arrive, but they suddenly told them to stay where they were, and they didn't know what the hell they were going to do.

When Liang Erzi wanted to say something, another soldier came galloping.

"General," they shouted, jumping off their horses.

Mr. Liang came out from the side tent and asked, "How is it?"

The letter soldier looked solemn: "Something happened at the post station."

Everyone was stunned.

Liang Liuzi immediately yelled again: "You still say you won't let me go, brother, you are also curious."

Liang Erzi took a look at him: "Brother has been sending people to investigate. When you go to investigate now, what can you find out?"

Mr. Liang ignored them and asked Xin Bing what happened.

"I don't know what's going on. Martial law over there." Xinbing said, "But I saw Miss Qixing being escorted into the prison car."

Miss Qixing!

The Liang brothers were shocked.

got caught?exposed?Miss Qixing said that she was one of the officials who greeted her, and she would come to visit in advance.

"What about Huo Lian?" Liang Liuzi blurted out, "Does he not care about Miss Qixing?"

Even if he is discovered, he just ignores it?How could Miss Qixing be loaded into a prison van?
The letter soldier shook his head: "There is no trace of Duchasi nearby."

In the morning light, a group of black-clothed soldiers galloped on the road, Huo Lian was at the forefront, and the soldiers behind urged their horses to gallop and finally caught up.

"Captain." Xin Bing panted, "They are going to escort Miss Qixing back to Beijing."

Holly hummed.

"Captain." Xinbing couldn't help asking, "What shall we do next?"

Huo Lian didn't turn her head back: "Go back to Beijing." After saying that, she raised her whip to urge the horse to move forward.

The letter soldier couldn't keep up, and looked at Huo Lian's back, a little dazed, and really didn't care about Miss Qixing.

"Miss Qixing was revealed by that Zhang Yuan to be a Mo student, so what does the governor care about?" A soldier whispered, "It will be very troublesome if she is implicated."

Another soldier smiled: "What's the trouble? If Lu Yizhi died, it would be said that the two Motus were playing tricks, and the governor is still the victim."

Yes, that's right, that's it, what the governor needs to do now is of course to go back to the capital and explain all this to His Majesty, and then kill Miss Qixing with his own hands to show his innocence.

Even if the governor really dotes on her, she's just a woman, so just throw it away.

　The new plot is in progress, hehe.
