Chapter Forty-one
"Woof!"
This black shadow was none other than Xiao Hei. The explosive power of a dog is much faster than that of a human. After Xiao Hei jumped off the building with Ruan Aoyue, he chased after the man in black. Seeing that the man in black wanted to escape over the wall, he pounced on him.
Next to the man in black, he opened his mouth and bit the man in black's ankle.
"Ah..." The man in black cried out in pain, lost his center of gravity, and was torn off by the dog.
As soon as the person landed, Yue Su and others immediately rushed forward and clamped the man in black with more than twenty steel knives. The man in black raised his head and looked at Yue Su, with no fear in his eyes, and followed closely,
The look in his eyes disappeared and turned into a dead gray color.
"Tear off his face towel." Yue Su ordered.
One of the guards tore off the man in black's face scarf. The man in black looked exactly like the suicidal teapot and the accountant, with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Dead!
Yue Su carefully looked at the face of the man in black. This man was definitely not the "Mr. Ye" he had seen. This man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked 70% monkey-like and 30% human-like, plus the black covering his face now.
The air looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Take the body with you and continue the search when you go back. This time, even the roof of the shed will be searched carefully. Even if the Jade Pavilion is demolished, I will find the person!" Yue Su shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and left.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Sir, something is wrong, someone in front has escaped!"
"What happened?"
There were several policemen gathered around Yue Su. He couldn't see anyone coming, so he could only shout loudly.
The officers quickly dispersed and Yue Su saw that it was Wang Shun running over in a hurry.
"Sir, just after you and Tong Ba went upstairs, everyone heard the shouts of assassins upstairs, and they were a little confused. They immediately went upstairs for reinforcements. Who would have thought that there was a woman downstairs who suddenly attacked and killed
We overcame the jailer and took the road to escape. Li Captou was leading people to search the backyard. There were not many of us, and the guard guarding the door stepped forward to stop him. This woman was very powerful and knocked people to the ground as soon as she struck. Yin Captou and
Brother Li turned around to chase us, but when we left the door, four men suddenly rushed out from the wonton restaurant opposite and stopped us with all their might. By the time we had killed four of them, the woman had already gotten into the wonton restaurant and ran away from the back door.
Right now, Yin Tou is leading people to chase him along the way, but I don’t know what the situation is.” Wang Shun reported truthfully.
"With so many people surrounding Jade Pavilion, how can they still let people run away? What do you do for food?" Yue Su became even angrier this time and roared loudly.
The servants on one side all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak. Jin Chan and Tie Qiu were also here. The two glanced at each other, and finally Jin Chan said aggrievedly: "We were worried that something might happen to you, so we sent him to the police station."
Everyone greeted me."
"It seems that he fell into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Yue Su sighed, relaxed his mood, and said: "Well, I can't blame you. Jin Chan, now you lead people to follow Wang Shun and pick up Yin Zhuhe along the way.
Li Zhong.”
"I obey my orders." Jin Chan waved his hand, summoned more than 20 officers, and followed Wang Shun to go for reinforcements.
Yue Su asked Tie Qiu to surround the Jade Pavilion again, and he took Tong Zhou and others back to the main entrance. When he arrived at the door, he saw four men dead with several swords in their bodies. Two of the Shuntian Mansion's guards also died and were injured.
Nine. The looks of these four men are also of a different kind. One has a long face, which is no different from a horse's face; one has a big nose, which is really different, like a chicken's mouth; the other is as skinny as a stick, that
The little arms and legs are similar to dog legs; the last one is white and fat, with a fat head and big ears, even bigger than a big fat pig.
Yue Su asked someone to search it, but found out that the Dragon Slayer Gang token was not found. Then he turned to look at the wonton restaurant opposite. There were officers coming in and out, busy. Yue Su called out to one of the officers and asked
: "What was found inside?"
"All the shopkeepers and clerks in this shop are missing. I don't know if they were scared away or if they were with the fugitives."
"Go to the area and ask around, then draw a pattern and catch it for me."
"Yes, sir."
Yue Su turned around again, looked at the Jade Pavilion, and said, "Aoyue, Tongzhou, do you think there will be any of their people here?"
Ruan Aoyue said: "I think if there were still others, I would have taken advantage of the chaos to escape with that person, or risked my life to cover him, and would never have stayed."
Tong Zhou said: "I think so too. There should be no more of their people inside, but if you don't fear ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. It's best to take them all back to the Yamen and interrogate them strictly."
Yue Su smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid the remaining people are of no use anymore. The one who just ran away was definitely a big fish. The man in black is fully capable of getting away without being noticed, but when we
When we were about to go downstairs to find the woman in that room, he tried his best to attract us. Everything was obvious. Tong Zhou, go in and see if the one who ran away is the one you said. Ask again to find out what is special about her.
place."
"Yes." Tong Zhou quickly entered the Jade Pavilion and ran out again after a while, reporting back: "Sir, it is indeed the prostitute named Xiaoying. I just asked the other prostitutes and they said that Xiaoying was born years ago.
There is nothing special about the one she bought, everything is the same as others. It’s just that the customers who come to her are always the same people.”
"Who?" Yue Su asked quickly.
"They didn't know either. They just said that he looked like a businessman from out of town, but he was very rich. He came to see Xiaoying almost every day. The madam also said that the customer gave her a lot of money and Xiaoying was not allowed to accept other customers.
." Tong Zhou said truthfully.
"It seems that this is it. This person named Xiaoying is probably the so-called Mr. Ye, but I don't know whether she is a boy or a girl, or a eunuch." Yue Su said.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Tong Zhou asked.
"I guess I won't be able to catch up with Yin Zhu. I'll go to the palace first. As you said, I'll take everyone back and interrogate them one by one to see if I can get any more useful information.
"
"My subordinate understands."
***************************************************

Yue Su brought several officers with him to the Forbidden City. The Royal Gate Supervisor immediately sent a message, and soon the order was sent back to Yue Su's Yangxin Hall.
When they arrived at Yangxin Hall, they first greeted the emperor. Zhu Carpenter was very polite and said, "Ai Qing, no courtesy." Then he said with a smile: "Yue Ai Qing, you just said goodbye and returned home at noon today. Why are you back again? You can't."
You want to give me some advice if you come up with some new tricks."
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you because a major event happened in the city today that is related to the safety of the country." Yue Su said solemnly.
"Oh?" When Zhu Youxiao saw Yue Su's solemn expression, he realized that it was definitely not a trivial matter and asked, "What happened?"
"Back to the Emperor, it's the Jinke Palace Examination. The questions for the re-examination have been leaked..." Yue Su immediately told Zhu Youxiao about catching Liu Banxian last night, but today's private visit to Jade Pavilion, especially about the Dragon Slaying Gang.
Yue Su emphatically recounted the incident, and even the incident when he encountered the Dragon Slayer Gang in Guizhou, Yue Su also narrated it as if telling a story.
Although Zhu Youxiao didn't care about general government affairs, he didn't dare to be careless about the country and the country passed down by his ancestors. After hearing this, he didn't take the Dragon Slaying Gang too seriously, but one thing made him very angry.
"How brave. The test questions for the re-examination are placed in my upper study room. They can even steal this. If that is the case, can't they take away my head at any time? My dear, follow me to my upper study room.
study."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao immediately drove up to the study room. After entering the door with Yue Su, he came to the Long Bookcase, reached for a brocade box, opened the lid of the box, and took out a page of yellow paper. "Ai Qing, come and see if the test questions are
Same."
Yue Su took it and took a look. The two test questions above were exactly the same as the test questions he got in Jade Pavilion today. He hurriedly took the note out of his arms and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zhu Youxiao took the note, then threw it heavily to the ground, and said angrily: "It's reversed, it's reversed, come on, call Wei Zhongxian!"
Seeing Long Yan's anger, Yue Su whispered: "Your Majesty, I wonder who knows the questions in this re-examination?"
"This is the work of Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao. He has been on duty since the question was published. I expected to lend him a hundred courage, but I didn't dare to leak the test question, let alone have anything to do with the Dragon Slayer Gang." Zhu
Yu Xiao said angrily. Even though he often lets Wei Zhongxian go, when it comes to major matters, he is not confused at all.
Ye Xianggao is the leader of the Donglin Party. Yue Su naturally knows that since he has been in Beijing for such a long time, Yue Su has heard a lot about the situation of some ministers in the DPRK. Although the Donglin Party often does things to oppose the same party and oppose different parties, Ye Xianggao is
As the chief auxiliary, I guess I still have a minimum moral bottom line. Even if it is leaked, it will be leaked to people from the Donglin family at most. It will never be leaked casually, let alone get involved with low-level people like the Dragon Slayer Gang.
"Your Majesty, since it was not leaked by Chief Ye, someone must have entered the study and stolen it. I just saw that there are imperial guards guarding the study. It is impossible for anyone to come in at will. If you want to find out who it is,
It shouldn’t be difficult.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then shouted: "Come here, go to the Royal Horse Prison and call Zou Yi for me!"
When the eunuch outside the door saw the emperor's urgent greeting, he knew that something big had happened, so he rushed to call for someone.
Soon, Wei Zhongxian and Zou Yi, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor, hurried to the study room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that the emperor's face was not right. They hurriedly bowed to say hello, "Old servant, see your majesty..."
"No need." Zhu Youxiao pointed at the note on the ground and said angrily: "See for yourselves, the thieves have now stolen into my study room. It's really Fa Tian! Fa Tian!"
Zou Yi was in charge of the imperial army, and if something was stolen from the study, he would be more or less involved. The old guy was now over sixty years old, but he still crawled to the emperor's feet, picked up the note, glanced at it, and carefully
Asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder where this comes from?"
"This is a question from the Jinke re-examination. It has been spread on the street now. If it weren't for Yue Aiqing, I wouldn't even know about the theft in the study." He said, throwing the yellow paper in his hand towards Zou Yi's head, "See for yourself.
, what do I do for raising you so many wastes? Today you dare to go to the study room to steal exam questions, and tomorrow you dare to go to Qianqing Palace to pick off my head!"
