Gu Tie's thoughts changed and he asked in a deep voice: "How did you know you came here to find us?"
The little fairy took out a piece of writing from her arms, handed it to Gu Tiexin, and said softly: "He asked us to come. "Quge"
Gu Tiexin took the white paper and wrote a few words: Go to Chaoyu Muyun Tower and have a look, maybe you can meet your people.
The handwriting is delicate and beautiful, but the writing is very powerful.
Gu Tiexin frowned, and looked at each other with the mad beggar, and both could see the fear in the other's eyes.
Every move of these people is clearly visible to others.
"They tapped our acupuncture points. About half an hour after we got here, the acupuncture points opened themselves. When we took off the veil, there was no one else in the room. Only this note was left."
"Seventh sister, can you guess who this person is?"
"He's not Luo Shuchang. I can't tell who he is. I don't know a few of the princes and grandsons in Zhuo City."
The little fairy shook his head and said, suddenly remembering something, he took out a tips bag from his arms and said, "Brother Gu, before he left, he gave me a tip bag, saying that if you open it when you are in danger, you can save the day."
.”
"Hey, when did he give it to you?" Meng Zhuang exclaimed in surprise.
The little fairy blushed and whispered back: "Just before we were blindfolded."
"Huh, he's so sneaky. You can tell he's not a good person at a glance." Meng Zhuang said angrily, still holding a grudge.
Gu Tiexin weighed the kit and handed it to the little fairy. He said in a deep voice: "It's hard to distinguish between friend and foe of this person. Don't make a conclusion yet. You should keep this kit first. It may have miraculous effects."
The little fairy responded, put the kit in her arms, and looked up at Gu Tiexin.
Gu Tiexin's eyebrows were furrowed and he was in a daze. He took a long breath and murmured to himself: "I will die by myself. Could it be that it's really him?"
"who?"
"A person who doesn't care about Lord Lou's life or death." The mad beggar said coldly.
The three men in Mengzhuang were shocked. They didn't know what happened to Lou Tian. But looking at Gu Tiexin and the crazy beggar's appearance, they understood that it was not a good thing after all.
That night, Zhuocheng was very uneasy.
The Dali Division's sea arrest official document broke the last bit of the stormy calm in Zhuocheng, and stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Various yamen and Jianghu sects, intentionally or unintentionally, stirred up Zhuocheng, which was not noticed by ordinary people, into a pot.
There were more than 30% more soldiers, police officers, spies, and guardsmen than usual.
However, if you take a closer look, you will find that all the yamen below the imperial court are running around, while the powerful officials in the court are standing still, not knowing what they are waiting for.
The Seven Bandits have now become the target of public criticism. Some want to claim credit and reward, some are investigating the case under orders, and some want to kill people and silence them. Of course, they are coveting the huge sum of money stolen from Shangzheng Yamen, and they are all looking for the whereabouts of the Seven Bandits.
However, Zhuocheng is very large, excluding Beicheng. In addition, there are nearly ten million people scattered in the outer city. To find three or five people who are willing to hide among so many people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, the streets and alleys are full of informants from various government agencies, and they are hard to guard against. If you are careless, you will end up in a miserable state.
For several days, Zhuocheng was tense outside, and the Shangzheng Yamen case finally attracted the attention of Changming Palace.
At the beginning, Emperor Wanlong was indifferent and couldn't think of anything. He just thought he was an ordinary thief and casually assigned the Dali Division to investigate.
To this day, when Emperor Wanlong saw the memorial handed over by Shangzheng Yamen, he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
In a fire, the losses were simply appalling. Silver taels, banknotes, and rare treasures totaled millions of taels.
Emperor Wanlong was furious and ordered the Dali Department to coordinate with the Shangzheng Yamen to catch the perpetrators as soon as possible and send additional guards to help. If other Yamen were needed to help, the court would be notified immediately.
With this imperial edict, Dali Si and Duwei did not dare to neglect. Emperor Wanlong was watching over them. Although Emperor Wanlong went to court only a handful of times these days, if one day the court accidentally remembered this matter
, if you don’t have any words to say, you have to be careful.
Nie Fenghong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless. After all, the guards were all the people of King Li Xuanci of England.
If this case cannot be solved, the Duwei will at most be held responsible, but it is hard to say for the Dali Division. It is a small thing to lose one's hat, but it is a big thing to lose one's life in a daze. He quickly ordered all his detectives to search for the seven bandits.
The whereabouts of people, whether they are alive or dead, they can see their corpses.
Zhuocheng City was in a state of panic, and Dali Si searched house to house. Except for Tu Diaocheng and Yushu Sheng Jiang Wan, who were captured in the east of the city that night, there was no trace of the remaining five of the seven bandits, as if they had disappeared.
Before Dali Si and Du Wei could find out anything, there was a sound of suspicion filling the air.
I don’t know who was the first to spread the news. Shangzheng Yamen had already lost one million taels of silver a few years ago. The fire at Shangzheng Yamen this time was just because they were afraid that someone would investigate and expose the fact of corruption and bending the law.
It was just a play that I performed and sang by myself, and it was thrust onto the seven bandits who happened to be there at the right time.
These words were nothing at first. Before the case was solved, there were all kinds of rumors. But this time, by chance, they reached the ears of Emperor Wanlong inexplicably. Emperor Wanlong also became suspicious and ordered the third prince Li Xuanxu to
Investigate this matter thoroughly.
Although Emperor Wanlong did not say anything about the change of commander before the battle, the princes and generals in the court also guessed the emperor's intention, which was to investigate and deal with the Shangzheng Yamen together.
In addition, the Taifu Ling Shutong had earlier interfered with the official documents of Dali Si Hai, which was very unusual. Although the Zhongshu Ling had the responsibility of supervision, he had no right to interfere in the specific affairs of the Dali Division. The Taifu also talked with the Dali Si Qing.
Nie Fenghong had a friendship with the Supervisory and Legal Affairs Bureau, so his behavior was somewhat intriguing.
Nie Fenghong breathed a sigh of relief when the person investigating the case was changed, but Shangzheng Yamen was not so comfortable. The Imperial Army soldiers sealed off the entire Shangzheng Yamen, and no one else was allowed to come in or out. They checked the account books of Shangzheng Yamen in recent years.
Regardless of whether anything can be found out, this time it is the third prince, Mingwu King Li Xuanxu, who is in charge. Not only Emperor Wanlong is watching, but the harem is also watching. All the officials in the court are looking forward to it, weighing whether to place a bet on Li Xuanxu.
Under this situation, the pressure on the third prince Li Xuanxu can be imagined. He is strict in everything and does not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The troops were divided into two groups, one was stationed at Shangzheng Yamen and counted the account books, while the other group was led by Dali Division and Duwei to search for the whereabouts of the seven bandits.
In the south of the city, there is a tent boat.
The boatman was wearing a thick cotton coat and was rowing the oar with great difficulty. The ice on the river that had just broken seemed to be freezing again. It was estimated that the boating business would be put on hold by tomorrow. (To be continued.
