Chapter 186
The matter of the Zhou family originally caused a lot of discussion in Beijing, but after Lu Chengen passed the East Palace oral order, the discussion on this matter became much smaller in an instant.

Even those who want to use this as an excuse cannot find a reasonable excuse.

The attitude shown by the East Palace basically confirmed that the Zhou family had shielded criminals.

If you insist on using this matter as an excuse, you are slapping Donggong in the face, and you are clearly against the crown prince.

This consequence is obviously not worth their risk for the Zhou family.

However, because of this, many masked people hiding in the dark have a sense of crisis.

The members of the Zhou family have been discovered, so will they be the next one?

Gyeonggi rudder, dungeon.

Tongues of fire flickered, and a musty smell emanated from the dank dungeon.

Shen Du wore a black robe and sat on the grand master's chair. In front of him, Zhou Lin knelt down on the ground.

Xu Jin and Ke Jian stood behind them with indifferent expressions.

"Patriarch Zhou, tell me!"

"You should know that the punishment of six doors is not easy."

"Heh!" Zhou Lin sneered, looked up at Shen Du, and said coldly, "You caught me, I admit it!"

"But if you want to know something from me, then you will think too much."

Shen Du lowered his head to look at Zhou Lin, pretending to be surprised and smiled, "I didn't expect Patriarch Zhou to be such a tough guy."

"But you should be waiting for the person behind you to come forward, right?"

"You may not be able to wait."

"An hour ago, all the young and strong men of your Zhou family were sent to the vegetable market and beheaded."

Zhou Lin's complexion changed drastically, and his complexion instantly turned red. He roared angrily, "Shen Du, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!!"

The shrill roar was particularly ear-piercing in this dungeon.

Shen Du looked calm, and said lightly: "You are not my opponent even if you are alive. Could it be that I am still afraid of a dead person?"

"If you don't say it again, then the next time you send it to the vegetable market will be the women, children and children of your Zhou family."

The words were flat, as if talking about a trivial matter.

"you……"

Zhou Lin's eyes were scarlet, full of blood, and he stared at Shen Du through gritted teeth.

In Yanjing City, all official battles will be respected.

The most serious end would be to be exiled to other places, or served as a frontier army.

Although the road is difficult and dangerous, at least there is still a way to survive.

Because no one can guarantee whether he will end up in the same end one day.

So as long as there is not too much hatred, there will always be a "decent".

It seems that Shen Du is so ruthless!

Shen Du flicked his robe lightly, and said calmly: "Since Patriarch Zhou doesn't want to say it, then I won't force it."

"Let's go!"

Shen Du stood up and planned to leave.

"Slow down..." Zhou Lin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "You must ensure the safety of the rest of my Zhou family."

Shen Du sneered without looking back: "Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?"

"It's Wei Yuanbo..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Du sneered and said, "Order to send the next batch of Zhou family over there."

Zhou Lin's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said, "Shen Du, you don't talk about credibility..."

"I already told you."

Shen Du kicked him to the ground, and said with a sneer, "How dare you lie!"

"Do you know that there is a kind of Gu in the Western Chu Five Poisons Sect, which can tell the truth from the false."

Zhou Lin's countenance changed completely. Seeing that Shen Du was about to leave, he said in a low voice, "It's Marquis Pingyuan..."

"Huh?" Shen Du frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Marquis Pingyuan?
Dayan expelled the northern barbarians and established an empire, and after that battle, Dayan had four more dukes and more than ten marquises.

As for this Marquis Pingyuan, he has read the records in the six doors and is one of the supporters of the fourth prince.

Shen Du seemed to be smiling, but none of these princes was a fuel-efficient lamp.

All of them are ruthless enough, and they really did anything for that position.

Even if the Zhou family was exposed, the third prince would be involved in the end.

Once the crime of killing brother is charged, it will be difficult to obtain the crown prince in the future.

First of all, the literati in the court will not agree.

I heard that the fourth prince often invites scholars, but his heart is so cruel.

This week the Zhou family seemed to be relying on Uncle Weiyuan, if something happened, everyone would naturally think of Uncle Weiyuan, and then contact the third prince.

But if you dare to collude with the Maitreya Sect, are you not afraid of luring wolves into your house?
Today's Qi State would not be in such a mess if the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect hadn't been secretly messing around.

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "Put him in prison."

"Shen Du, the members of my Zhou family are innocent, let them die..."

Zhou Lin was dragged away, but kept shouting.

Shen Du ignored Zhou Lin's shout, thinking about the next plan in his heart.

After arresting the group of Maitreya Cultists, he has noticed that the Gu worms left in several places have disappeared.

These people have been able to hang out in the rivers and lakes for so long, and naturally there are some capable people among them.

Maybe they didn't pay much attention to it before, but when the incident of Maitreya Sect happened, they also became cautious.

So he was not surprised that these Gu worms were eliminated.

The corners of Shen Du's mouth suddenly raised slightly, showing a playful smile.

"Ke Jian, call all the six-door arresters you can mobilize, and wait at the gate of the city."

"I'm going to the headquarters!"

Shen Du turned around and left the dungeon, heading straight to the headquarters of Six Doors.

All the way to Cui Jingsheng's residence.

Cui Jingsheng sat behind the table, heard footsteps, and said without raising his head, "The trouble you caused this time is quite serious."

"If His Highness hadn't come forward, you wouldn't be able to resolve this matter so easily."

Even so, the excerpts from Yushitai will pile up into mountains.

Shen Du bowed his hands and said with a smile, "I've seen you, my lord!"

Cui Jingsheng put down his pen, looked up at Shen Du, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the matter."

bother you for something!
Shen Du smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency, I have something to ask you."

"Please open the city gate!"

"Huh?" Cui Jingsheng frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Ever since the Ascension to Heaven Banquet happened, Yanjing City has long been restricted from entry and exit, and the gates of the city are locked.

Opening the city gate at this time, wouldn't that group of guys take advantage of it?
Cui Jingsheng's expression suddenly moved slightly, he looked at Shen Du in surprise, guessed what Shen Du was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that when the city gate is opened, many rebels will escape?"

"I know!" Shen Du nodded and said, "But this is the fastest way."

"Now that something happened to Zhou's family, those who are behind the shelter must also be worried, and will find a way to send them out of the city as soon as possible."

"And we can step up the investigation at that time, and stop all unfamiliar faces. If those people want to go out of the city, the safest way is to get in the carriage of the city's dignitaries, besides mixing with the caravan."

"When the time comes, people will get the stolen goods together, even if they want to quibble, they will have nothing to do."

Cui Jingsheng took a look at Shen Du, thinking that this guy has a lot of tricks.

This strategy is sinister enough!
Will anyone be hooked?It must be.

As long as it is done properly, those who are already apprehensive will give it a try even if they take risks.

Cui Jingsheng nodded and said, "I will report this matter to Your Highness."

"But you still need to cooperate one or two times!"

Shen Du understood it in his heart, nodded and smiled and said, "I'll let some city bastards be caught to replace the traitors!"

All he needs to create is an atmosphere of turmoil, so that those who hide in the dark can't sit still.

With the lessons learned from the Zhou family, most people would choose to take the risk of sending someone out of the city.

For it is far more dangerous to stay in the city than to send them out.

Shen Du clasped his hands and said: "My lord, just in case, I would like to invite Mr. Zhan to sit in charge."

He couldn't guarantee that there would be hidden Dharma experts among these people.

Regarding this matter, Cui Jingsheng did not refuse.

The six doors were already responsible for the matter of ascending to heaven.

He will not intervene in the internal affairs of the Six Gates of Gyeonggi, that depends on Shen Du himself, but he will never let go of these thieves who dare to disrupt the Heavenly Banquet.

"can!"

"At that time, I will let my third sister go."

Shen Du felt relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Cui Jingsheng shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me, but there is one thing I need to tell you."

"Those people who were transferred should be back soon, and they have almost received news from Jingzhong."

"Furthermore, apart from my elder brother, the four great masters are not easy to get along with."

Although Cui Jingsheng didn't say it clearly, Shen Du still heard the meaning of his words.

These two are clearly the opposite of them.

"Thank you for letting me know!"

Shen Du said, turned and left.

……

Soon, the police from Six Doors searched the city wantonly. There was a lot of commotion, and many people were arrested and thrown into prisons. People were panicked.

And soon, news spread that the East City Gate had been opened.

However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit, only those who have a pass can enter and exit.

It is not difficult to apply for this pass, you only need to verify your identity at the Gyeonggi Government Office or the six gates, and you can get it, but it is only valid for the day.

There were many figures coming in and out at the gate of Dongcheng City.

At the gate of the city, the guards on duty kept checking the people who entered and left.

above the city gate,

Zhan Hongling crossed her arms and looked down, and asked, "Is your method really feasible?"

"Aren't you afraid that someone will see that this is a trap?"

Shen Du said with a faint smile: "There are smart people in this world, but there are also many idiots."

"What's more, the situation forced them to take a risk."

"Perhaps if we keep the people, after ten days and a half months, the security of the city gate will naturally be relaxed, and it will be safer at that time, but they dare not gamble."

"They dare not bet that they will be discovered first by the people from the six doors, so they will definitely try their best to send people out of the city."

"Human nature is so!"

Zhan Hongling glanced sideways at Shen Du, shook her head, but didn't say much.

She hoped that Shen Du's plan would really work, but she was afraid that many people would be involved in this matter.

At this time, on the street in front of the city gate, a huge caravan slowly approached.

The caravan's carriage was full of goods, and around the carriage were people dressed as bodyguards.

The city gate guard looked forward with a cold face.

"stop!"

"Pass!"

The steward of the caravan was a man in his 50s, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward respectfully, and took out the pass issued by the six gates, the Gyeonggi Government Office, and the East Palace.

He took out a bag of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the guard's bosom.

"Master Jun, be careful, it's not a respect."

"We belong to the Daping Caravan and have absolutely nothing to do with those traitors."

"Look, with so many of us, it's troublesome to check. It's convenient."

The steward said in a low voice again: "We are from Lord Pingyuanhou's residence."

A thought-provoking smile flashed in the eyes of the general guarding the city, he weighed the purse, waved his hand and said, "Go!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The caravan steward thanked him again and again, and hurriedly shouted: "Go, go!"

The huge caravan slowly moved out of the city gate.

The general defending the city waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers next to him closed the city gate after the caravan passed by.

The steward of the caravan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but it was much easier than expected.

They had already sent someone to check, and said that the inspection near the city gate was not too strict.

Suddenly, the advancing caravan stopped.

The steward of the caravan yelled angrily: "What are you doing, why don't you go!"

If you stay here, if you are discovered, you will be in big trouble.

While speaking, he raised his head and looked forward, his face darkened instantly, sometimes blue and sometimes white.

In front of the city gate, a row of six gate guards armed with bows and crossbows ready to go, stared at the crowd with stern expressions.

The long knife hanging on one side shone with a cold luster, and the field was filled with a killing atmosphere.

"Six doors!"

In an instant, the steward felt a chill coming out of his back, and his whole body felt cold.
