The Buddhist hall of the General's Mansion is located in the backyard. This is a quiet inner courtyard. It is very quiet. There is not even a servant serving beside it. If the assassin is really inside the Buddhist hall, even with wings he can't fly.

Surrounded by everyone, Chu Huan came to the inner courtyard. Dongfang Xin followed Chu Huan. When he got to the inner courtyard, he saw Hao Tong leading a few guards blocking the main entrance of the Buddhist hall with a stern expression.

Inside the Buddhist hall, the lights were on, but the door was closed.

"My lord, this is the only place that hasn't been searched now." Xuanyuan Sheng said: "If the assassin still has a hiding place, it can only be here."

Chu Huan glanced at Hao Tong, then turned his head to look at Dongfang Xin. Dongfang Xin knew what Chu Huan meant. At this time, all the officials were here, and this Buddhist hall was the last place of suspicion. If the assassin stopped him again , On the contrary, it made the other party even more suspicious, and judging from today's posture, Chu Huan will not give up unless he searches for the Buddhist hall, even if he is unwilling, there is nothing he can do.

Dongfang was full of resentment and anger against Chu Huan in confidence, but the situation was stronger than others, and he only wanted to get through this hurdle and settle accounts with Chu Huan later, and he really didn't think Xin Zhao would hide in the general's mansion.

Xin Zhao is not stupid, he violated Dongfang Xin's plan in advance, of course he knew what the consequences would be, even if he had the guts, he would not dare to sneak back to the General's Mansion.

"The last general is a military general. To serve the imperial court, it is unavoidable to kill." Dongfang Xin seemed to be very calm, "The number of dead souls under the last general's hands, in order to eliminate the murderous aura of the last general, I will go to the Buddha every day." Respecting the Buddha, for the sake of wiping away the blood in your hands...there is only cheapness inside, and the assassin will never appear here." He raised his hand, motioning for pain to get out of the way.

Only then did Hao Tong lead the people away, and Dongfang Xin went forward and opened the door himself. There was a Buddha statue one person tall in front of the door. It was a bronze statue of Sakyamuni. In front of the Buddha statue was an incense table for offering incense. It was a futon, and a woman in black gauze was kneeling on the futon, piously paying homage to the Buddha. After Dongfang Xinmen, the woman still didn't look back, she remained calm. [

"Xiaoyun...!" Dongfangxin's voice was quite gentle, "What other people do you see here?"

The woman didn't turn her head, but replied in a calm voice without any emotion: "No, there is only Buddha here, no one else!"

Dongfangxin turned his head, and Chu Huan was right next to him, "Your Excellency, the Buddhist hall can be seen at a glance, and it is indeed impossible for the assassin to appear here."

With his hands behind his back, Chu Huan looked at the door and glanced at the door. He saw that the Buddhist hall was really simple. Except for the incense table and the bronze Buddha, there were really no unnecessary cumbersome things. What the general said is that the assassin really doesn't seem to be here... It seems that someone has spread rumors to cause trouble."

"My lord, is Rong Bei going to bring someone in to look for it?" Xuanyuan Shengcai said sideways.

Dongfang Xin sneered and said: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, the Buddhist hall is small and you can see it at a glance, what else can you look for?"

"General Dongfang doesn't need to get angry." Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is also Xuanyuan's due diligence, thinking about the safety of the general's mansion." Xiang Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Xuanyuan, there is really no one here. If you are really worried, take The two of you went in to take a look around, and in the middle of the night, they all retreated early to rest... Madam Dongfang is paying respects to the Buddha, so don't disturb Madam."

Dongfang confidently thought, if you go to war, there is nothing to disturb or not to disturb, but naturally he will not say this, he raised his hand and sneered, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, you can go in and search, don't care if you will disturb the cheap, find the assassin It's important, since you said that the assassin sneaked into the general's mansion, you still hope that you can really find him."

Xuanyuan Sheng ignored his ridicule and brought a few guards into the Buddhist hall. Chu Huan had already turned around and said with a smile, "It seems that the assassin is not here. Wait for Xuanyuan to come out." , everyone will go back to their homes, and the governor will continue to arrange for people to capture the fugitives." Xiang Dongfang said with a smile: "General Dongfang, I am disturbed today, something unusual happened, don't take it for granted."

"Naturally, the general will not be offended, but the murderer who assassinated Mr. Dong has not been arrested, which makes the general feel uneasy." Dongfang said: "The general will continue to send people to search for the assassin, and the assassin must be...!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Shengcai's voice came from over there, "My lord!"

Chu Huan frowned, and turned his head to look, only to see Xuanyuan Shengcai and several warriors already holding knives in their hands, with sharp eyes, staring at the bronze Buddha.

Dongfang's confidence sank, Chu Huan reached out to his waist, his blood-drinking knife was worn on his waist, he grasped the handle, and walked over lightly, Xuanyuan Sheng only pointed to the copper Buddha, Chu Huan looked over, But he saw that there was a trace of blood on the bronze Buddha.

Chu Huan pursed his lips, Xuanyuan Sheng made a gesture, and several guards rushed into the Buddhist hall, and they surrounded the bronze Buddha, pointing their blades forward.

Madam Dongfang's originally calm face changed color in shock, and she lost her voice: "You... what are you going to do?" [

As soon as Chu Huan raised his hand, the two warriors had already stepped forward to pull Mrs. Dongfang out. Dongfang Xin's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "You are so bold, why did you touch my wife?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huan's voice was extremely serious: "Are you still coming out?"

Dongfang Xin was stunned, but Chu Huan continued, "We know that you are hiding in the bronze Buddha. If you don't want to die, come out quickly. As long as you confess the real murderer behind the scenes, you might not be able to survive!"

At this time, many officials were already crowded in front of the Buddhist hall, poking their heads and looking inside.

Suddenly, there was a noise from inside the bronze Buddha, and everyone was on alert. They heard a "click", and the back of the bronze Buddha suddenly opened, but this bronze Buddha had another hidden secret. The inside was hollow, allowing people to hide. When the mechanism was opened, a shadow had already sprung out from inside, slashing with a knife, Chu Huan leaned forward, swung his knife to meet him, there was a "choke", sparks flew everywhere, and then there was a "click", the man's When the broadsword touched the blood-drinking knife, it broke in two in an instant.

The man was taken aback. Before he could react, Chu Huan stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar. With a snarl, he threw the man out with all his strength. The man couldn't help himself. , the body flew out, and hit the wall with a "bang", the sound of bone shattering sounded, and then the man slid down from the wall softly, Xuanyuan Shengcai had drawn out his long knife, and had already set it on the man neck.

This change was so sudden that many people didn't even know how this assassin emerged.

The man's attire was exactly the same as that of the assassin who escaped from Beiwanglou. He had not had time to change his clothes, and his left arm had been bandaged. Anyone could tell that his left arm must have been injured. The assassin who escaped was injured in the arm by Chu Huan with a teapot.

The corners of Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched, and Mrs. Dongfang showed a look of misery on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you don't want to hurt him...!" Dongfang Xin heard Mrs. Dongfang say this, turned his head to look at Mrs. Dongfang, and saw her His face was full of worry, and his heart was even more angry. He said in a deep voice, "Well, you bitch, how dare you harbor an assassin?"

Mrs. Dongfang glanced at Dongfang Xin, her eyes showed resentment, but she didn't speak.

Chu Huan had already put away the blood drinking knife, stared at the assassin, and asked, "Are you the assassin who escaped from the Beiwanglou?"

"It's me." The assassin looked very strong, his eyes were full of resentment, staring at Chu Huan's eyes: "It's just a pity that I killed Dong Shizhen, but I couldn't kill you!"

"What grudge does the governor have against you, why did you assassinate him?" Chu Huan stared at the man coldly, "What grudge does Master Dong have against you, why did you assassinate him?"

"Don't ask too much, just kill me with one knife." The assassin was full of backbone, "No matter what method you use, you can never get a word from me."

"Sure enough, he is a man." Chu Huan sighed, "Who are you?" After winking, Xuanyuan Sheng nodded slightly, and with a twist of his wrist, the blade swung across the black man who had already covered the assassin's face. Picking up the towel, the real face was revealed immediately, there were already many people crowded in front of the door to peek inside, seeing the assassin's real face, someone already said in a voiceless voice: "Yes...it's Xin Zhao...!"

"Ah? It really is Xin Zhao!"

There was a commotion outside the door, among the officials, none of them could have imagined that the assassin who assassinated Dong Shizhen in the Beiwanglou was actually Zhao Xin, the former head of the Ministry of War. Many people were shocked and thought it was incredible.

"Xin Zhao, it's you?" Chu Huan also seemed taken aback, his face changed slightly, "Didn't you already abscond?"

Assassin Zhao Xin sneered and said, "Since you have absconded, you can come back. I'm not done yet, how can I just leave like this?"

"Xin Zhao, tell me, why did you assassinate Mr. Dong, and why did you assassinate the governor?"

Xin Zhao shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask any more questions. I'm in this field. If I want to kill or scrape, I will listen to you and never frown. Chu Huan, everything is planned by me alone and done with others. You Just do it."

Xuanyuan Shengcai suddenly said: "My lord, the assassination in Beiwanglou was carefully planned and the timing of the attack was just right. It is absolutely impossible for Xin Zhao to do it. The humble general suspects that there may be another expert behind this."

As soon as this remark came out, the corners of Dongfang Xin's mouth twitched not far away, and the eyes of many officials turned to Xuanyuan Sheng.

Dongfang Xin and Zhao Xin had a close relationship of eight obeisances, and they were sworn brothers. Although they gradually became estranged, they were still sworn brothers. Many people know this.

This time Zhao Xin actually assassinated Dong Shizhen, Xuanyuan Sheng claimed that there were other masters plotting, and the first person everyone thought of was General Pingxi Dongfang Xin.

Dongfangxin felt that everyone's eyes were cutting on him like knives, and he was a little flustered, but he still tried his best to keep calm, and sneered, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, what do you mean by that?"

Xuanyuan Sheng turned his gaze over and asked, "What does General Dongfang think I mean? I just think that Xin Zhao has other accomplices in this assassination. Why is General Dongfang so sensitive?"
