The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 4 Guan Yushi

This rain didn't stop until [-]:[-].

Not to mention the rain, even a knife can't stop the gentlemen of Bianjing from letting loose in this city that never sleeps.

At that time, they would probably wrap the carriage in iron armor and go straight to the Goulan tile house while humming a tune. After getting off the carriage, the servants would hold up the iron pot and happily call their friends.

Therefore, even though the imperial censor was detained for three days, the hibiscus lane was still full of singing and dancing birds, and there were many wealthy people.

Gu Shinwei was leaning against the red wall, holding a piece of grass in her mouth and holding an umbrella in boredom. She had just finished nibbling the last candied fruit.

She stretched out her hand to catch the rain from the edge of the umbrella. The rain fell on her fingers and was cold.

"what!"

Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded!

Before the singing and dancing stopped, Gu Shiwei moved. She spat out the grass in her mouth and flew up to the small building named "Green Wing" through the rain.

Furong Lane used to be unremarkable, just one of many flowery streets and willow lanes.

It wasn't until last year that the owner was changed, twelve small buildings were connected, and twelve new oiran ladies were born, who were both beautiful and beautiful, and then it became famous in the capital and became the hottest gold-selling cave in the entire Bianjing city.

Lu Yi was one of the twelve oiran ladies. She was very good at painting and was an elegant person. It was said that she was also from an official family.

The windows are closed.

Gu Shiwei didn't hesitate and broke through the window directly. He only took one look and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

On that bed with red apricots embroidered on the white moon, there lay an old man, shirtless and wearing only a silk robe. There was a dagger stuck in his chest, and his eyes were wide open. It was obvious that he could no longer die. .

The old man's eyebrows were like daggers, he had a beautiful beard and a long beard, and there was a freshly scabbed wound on his forehead.

It was Guan Zhengqing, the censor known as "Stinky Mao Shi" among today's storytellers.

The wound on his forehead was left when he hit a pillar in the East Palace to participate in Zhang Chunting's bloodbath a few days ago.

The censor Guan Zhengqing died, and he died in the land of fireworks, on the bed of a courtesan. Gu Shiwei's heart became solemn. She could predict what kind of bloody storm would spread throughout Bianjing next.

She thought, listening to the footsteps of many people going upstairs, she looked towards the oiran lady, "Where are the people?"

Madam Luyi was so frightened that her whole body was like a pile of limp mud. After hearing Gu Shiwei's question, she looked over in a daze.

With tears in her eyes, she stumbled and said, "Wha...who is that person...As soon as I came in, he was already dead as soon as I came in...I didn't see anyone."

Gu Shiwei looked around and found that she did not hear any movement. She looked at Guan Zhengqing's clothes and picked them up with her sword.

It was a very ordinary set of blue silk clothes, with some chrysanthemum patterns embroidered on it with slightly darker embroidery thread. Other than that, there was nothing special, and no money bag or anything else was found.

Gu Shiwei frowned and gestured towards the window.

Han Shiyan was right. The Imperial City Division had indeed just returned from Suzhou and had finished the case of the Hong family in Canglang Mountain.

The Hong family is a well-known local grain merchant. Just a month ago, Zhang Chunting received a tip that Hong Wei, the head of the Hong family, had a pamphlet that could shake up the court and wanted to send it to the Yushitai.

At that time, the situation in the imperial court was in turmoil, and the officials were sitting on the Diaoyutai waiting for the prince's rebellion to be wiped out. They did not want to create complications at this juncture, but it would give people an opportunity, so they secretly sent the Imperial City Secretary to get the book, so as not to fall into " In the hands of "Guan Maoshi" or "Han Keren", there is no room for improvement.

The Imperial City Sima rushed to Suzhou without stopping, but it was still a step too late.The entire Hong family was massacred, their home was turned upside down, and the legendary pamphlet also disappeared without a trace.

They inquired for many days and finally got some clues.

Hong Wei may have been the first to take action. He handed the thing to his sworn brother Song Yu in advance and asked him to bring it to the capital to file a complaint.

This Song Yu was a knight-errant, extremely good at concealing his traces. The Imperial City Division searched along the way from Suzhou to the capital, but could not find any clues.

If you can't find the fish, then you can only stare at the fishermen.

She tested Han Shiyan at Han Chun Tower, and he took the initiative to bring up the Hong family case in Canglang Mountain. She knew little about it, so she thought that Guan Zhengqing was the person Song Yu wanted to hand over the pamphlet to.

And Guan Zhengqing did suddenly go to Furong Lane in the middle of the night today. They only stared outside for a stick of incense before Guan Zhengqing died.

Guan Zhengqing is dead, but what about Song Yu?
And what about the booklet?

Gu Shinwei's mind was spinning rapidly, and at this moment, the noisy footsteps finally arrived at the door.

Gu Shiwei looked toward the door and saw that the leader was a woman wearing crabapple red. She looked about 27 or [-] years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a charm that was definitely not found in a young girl.

This is the madam Ying Furong, the uncrowned king of this alley.

Ying Furong glanced at the bed, her pupils shrank suddenly, then she glanced at Lu Yi who was sitting on the ground unconsciously, frowned displeased, and said loudly, "Keep your mouth shut, don't say anything. Zhan San You go to Kaifeng Mansion and ask the officials to come, and the others will be guarding the door."

After everything was settled, she looked at Gu Shiwei sharply, she glanced at the dark sword, and her words were a little more polite.

"Why did this little lady come to this place that she shouldn't have come to late at night?"

Gu Shiwei took out a golden token from his arms. The token was about the size of a peach, with the words "Imperial City Division" engraved on it.

Ying Furong's face changed slightly, and she became much more cautious.

"Have you ever been to Furong Lane before, Guan Yushi? Did you always look for Lu Yi when you came back?"

Ying Furong shook her head and looked at Gu Shinwei's complex expression, "This is the second time I've come back. The last time I came here, I was looking for Miss Lu Yi. She was restless and did not do anything, so she led Lu Yi to stand on the small floor all night. , the next morning there were eight people present at court, along with Lu Yi Danqing as evidence."

"Because of this incident, my Furong Lane almost turned yellow. When I saw him coming again today, my right eyelid twitched. I didn't expect that he would be dead this time."

Ying Furong's tone was calm, and she looked like she had passed through strong winds and waves.

The corners of Gu Shinwei's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to comment.

She looked at Lu Yi and said, "Guan Zhengqing only had one stick of incense to go upstairs. What did he do and what did you do?"

Xu Shi saw Ying Furong, and Lu Yi calmed down a bit. She turned her head and said with a cry, "Guan Yushi is very serious. He sent everyone away as soon as he came, including my personal maid Xiaozhu. I I was afraid that he would ask me to do something that would offend people again, so I made an excuse and said that there was good Biluochun in the teahouse next door."

"He looked very depressed and asked me to undress him. He said he didn't drink tea but would drink wine this time."

"I went next door to serve the wine and food. My mother had asked Xiaozhu to prepare the wine and food. I came in with the tray, and as soon as I saw it..."

Lu Yi said, covering her mouth again, and started to cry.

At this moment, a soldier armed with a knife walked in from the door, walked straight to Gu Shiwei's ear, and lowered his voice: "Sir, there is another corpse in the toilet..."
