"Heijian, you are finally back." Jingxin grinned, very excited.
Zhuzijian escaped from the imperial mausoleum intact, and his depressed mood for two days finally disappeared.
"Pay attention to your behavior and don't be frivolous." Zhu Zijian calmly opened the door.
"Yes, meditation will make you pay more attention"
"Have you sent anyone to investigate the fire?" After entering the house, Zhu Zijian washed himself briefly.
The fire at Ximen today must have alarmed the whole city.
"There was a fire in a dance studio in the north of the city. It was the Rose Dance Studio. The singers and boys in the dance studio, as well as the rest of the handymen, all died in the backyard, a total of thirty-one people."
"cause of death?"
"Everyone has a bloody mark on their neck."
"What kind of sharp weapon hurt you?"
"The spies we sent came back to report that it should have been caused by a dagger, which is quite similar to your Guining dagger. There was a small blood mark on everyone's neck. It should have been a fatal blow."
"Oh? Is there anything in this world that is comparable to my Guining dagger?" Zhuzi Jian felt a little surprised. Guining dagger is her second sharp weapon. It is slender and light, different from ordinary daggers, and only needs a slight swing.
It can make wounds subtle but endanger vital points. It is a rare close-quarters weapon.
As far as she knew, there was no other dagger in the world that could compare with it.
"There is another thing that is even more strange. The fire occurred in the dance studio hall, but all the people in the dance studio died in the backyard. If you wanted to hide people's eyes and ears, the fire should have started in the backyard first, but it happened in the front yard. This fire happened in the front yard.
It's not like I'm trying to deceive anyone, it's more like...
"It's more like doing it on purpose?" Zhu Zijian frowned slightly and noticed something strange.
Dozens of corpses were randomly placed in the backyard to attract attention. Coupled with the rare fire, this series of actions did not look like an ordinary vendetta. Instead, they seemed to be deliberately reminding someone of something.
.
"The escort has also been dispatched." Jingxin said.
"We can only investigate further. There must be an expert behind this fire. Now the court is paying close attention to this matter. I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger."
Zhu Zijian's expression changed slightly, maybe the person behind it just wanted to make the situation worse?
The Guards are in charge of the security inside and outside the imperial court. All major events that occur in the capital must be reported by the inspection magistrate to the capital commander in front of the palace in an edict. The commander in front of the palace will then apply for instructions from the Guards, and then the guards will
The army reported to the court, and the final decision was made by the emperor.
Judging from the current situation, the Guards have taken charge. There has not been such a serious fire in the capital of Lan Kingdom for decades, and now it involves the lives of dozens of people. I am afraid that the fire will not be extinguished so easily.
"We have secretly investigated this dance studio before, and there is nothing strange about it?" Jingxin was really confused.
"This time we will line up more people and guard the guards to understand their movements." Zhu Zijian believes that the Warrior Sect will never make any mistakes in its missions. Since they have not found anything, there must be nothing wrong with this dance studio.
Mystery.
But this time the fire happened in the dance studio. There may be some hidden secret behind it!
She had a hunch that the peaceful Lan Country would not last long...

"Why did a good dance studio catch fire? Come here, do your best to find the cause of the fire, and send people to guard every corner of the dance studio. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Everyone, please cheer up and put out the fire, otherwise you won't even want your head.
Send more people quickly!"
As the inspection governor of Gupu City, Fan Wei does not need to patrol every day. He only needs to go to the streets for inspection on the first day of every month. As a result, as soon as it was his turn to patrol today, he encountered a fire that was rare in the city.
"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead this time." Looking at the smoky sky, Fan Wei wanted to cry but had no tears.
When will the fireworks covering the sky be extinguished?
"Sir, the commander of the guard force is here in person." The soldier looked worried and said cautiously, "The commander of the guard looks solemn, something is very wrong."
The commander of the escort army, Wei Yiyi, is the youngest son of the current Prime Minister Wei Youyi and the most favored legitimate son. He has a noble status and is undoubtedly the leader among the younger generation of the Lan Kingdom. Although he has a hot temper and has offended countless bureaucrats,
No one dared to provoke him.
Fan Wei was sweating profusely. Although he knew that he was about to be in disaster, he didn't expect that the storm would come so quickly. He was destined to be unlucky today!
In the distance, Wei Hanyi was already walking towards him with a large group of people. He was dressed in black and had a dark green belt tied around his waist.
Her long hair is tied into a bun on her head, and she wears a golden crown with a silver inlaid hairpin.
Wei Hanyi's brows were furrowed and his face was serious, making people afraid to approach him easily.
"Commander Wei, you are finally here."
Fan Wei was good at nothing else, but pretending to be pitiful was a unique skill. He squeezed his eyes, curled his mouth, and instantly burst into tears.
Wei Hanyi snorted and ignored him. He looked at the fire not far away and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"Wei Chen has ordered us to go down and summon all the fire troops from the north and southeast gates to participate in the rescue. It is estimated that the fire will be extinguished soon."
Fan Wei tried his best to raise his smiling face and answered respectfully.
"Oh, are you sure the south gate has also been notified?"
Wei Hanyi's eyes flashed fiercely and he stared at Fan Wei fiercely. His eyes seemed to be warning him that it was best to tell the truth.
Under Wei Hanyi's pressure, Fan Wei broke out in a cold sweat and felt terrified inside.
Could it be that he deliberately delayed notifying Nanmen to put out the fire and was discovered?
"This, this, I'm afraid Commander Xiao is delayed by something, so he's still on the way."
Fan Wei finally finished a whole sentence with a giggling voice, causing others to look at him and think he was defending Commander Xiao.
Seeing Fan Wei's deliberately pretentious demeanor, Wei Hanyi's inner disgust increased even more.
I thought that with the joint assistance of more than a hundred fire troops from the south gate and north gate, the fire could be controlled quickly.
However, when he rushed to the dance studio, he found that the fire was still fierce. Only the fire troops from the north gate and west gate participated in the rescue, but no one was seen at the south gate.
Based on Wei Hanyi's understanding, Nanmen Commander Xiao Ping is not a stupid person. There is no way that he would miss the best time to put out the fire at this very urgent moment. If he is found out, he will lose his official title at the least, or face death penalty at the worst.
There's no way he could take this risk, and it wouldn't do him any good.
So, he immediately sent people to Nanmen to investigate and found out that Nanmen was not aware of the fire at West Gate. As a result, the best time to put out the fire was missed, and the shops around the dance studio were also affected.
"Don't think that I don't know about your colorful heart. If you have such thoughts, it's better to think about how to hide your excuse to save your head. The south gate is closest to here. Instead of asking them to put out the fire, you go to find Li Li.
The farthest east gate. Do you think that the entire Gupu City will be buried with you because of your stupidity?"
The more Wei Hanyi thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally couldn't help but slap Fan Wei several times, until Fan Wei was begging for mercy.
As the governor of the Inspection Office, Fan Wei is very aware that the four gates have clear regulations that patrols in each gate are not allowed to cross the border without authorization and can only patrol within their own city area. They can only cross the area unless they receive a notice from the Inspection Office.
Therefore, even if the south gate sees a fire at the west gate, it must wait for notification before going to put out the fire.
Unfortunately, the dance studio where the fire broke out was blocked by the city wall between the South Gate and the West Gate. Only some black smoke could be seen, so Xiao Ping, the commander of the South Gate, thought it was just an ordinary fire and did not pay attention to it.
"My lord, you are wrongly accused. I have already informed my subordinates to find rescuers. Commander Xiao is late on purpose. It is none of my business."
Fan Wei knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, feeling extremely regretful in his heart. This time he was self-defeating. Not only did he not convict Xiao Ping, but he also dragged himself into trouble! This chapter has been completed!
