This night in the capital is destined to be uneasy.

Almost at the same time as the Zhong sisters were attacked, a group of masked guests in black sneaked into a luxurious mansion, like a ghost in the underworld who was detained in the soul, and started a killing coldly and silently...

The next day, the house in the north of the city was abnormal and there was no strange sound. Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the tranquility. After a moment, the door opened, and several servants with a look of earth rolled and crawled.

He came out and went straight to the yamen to report the case.

In just half an hour, the news that Ma Wanzhu, a rich man in the north of the city, was killed and his wealth was washed away by thieves, spread throughout the capital. Countless rumors were flying everywhere, and the people in the city were rumored to add fuel to the fire. Some even said that the Ma family was in a tragedy and the whole family was young.

Behind them, they were possessed by evil ghosts and killed each other. The Ma Mansion immediately became a place where evil spirits gather, and anyone passing by was trembling.

The Kaifeng Prefecture Constable, the Imperial Army, and the Imperial City Office came one after another and strictly blocked the scene. All the surviving servants of the Ma Mansion were detained separately and interrogated.

Wang Jien almost sprained his ankle when he received the news. Ma Wanzhuna was an important witness to the ordnance case, but he was killed when he was about to close the gate and took away all the secrets. Is this just a coincidence? Who is the truth behind the scenes

He was nervous and angry, and he left the imperial city anxiously, and did not forget to send someone to invite Fu Jingtao, and rushed to the north of the city with a quick horse.

The highest commander of the Imperial City Department suddenly came to the scene in person, putting the officials responsible for investigating the case and arresting the murderers in great pressure. Everyone was like a fire on their butts, running around and busy without touching the ground.

Wang Jien covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, walked around with a stern face, and felt more and more depressed. Although he was a eunuch, he was promoted to this position by the emperor's favor and promotion. He did not understand the strength of martial arts and the depth of the world, but in recent years

How could the training be in vain? Even if he is a layman, he can see that the murderer's killing method is very clever and has almost no trace left. He is definitely not an ordinary robber. Rather than saying that they are greedy for the wealth of the Ma family and robbed money and killed life.

It would be better to say that they used the method of robbing money to create a mystery and conceal the real purpose of killing people!

Ma Wanzhu is a treacherous and forbearable person, and is a type of people who make money and pretend to be good. He has never done anything like heaven and man resentment, and the possibility of encountering revenge is very low. He will not have any accidents sooner or later, but he will die at this critical moment, or he will break the door.

In order to survive, either the Khitans were alert and actively cut off clues to the black market military trading. Whether it was the former or the latter, it meant that there might be major mistakes in the tasks assigned by Zhao Kuangyin and he could not escape the blame.

Wang Ji'en was upset, like an ant on a hot pan paced back and forth. After finally waiting for Fu Jingtao's figure to appear, he rushed over, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and whispered: "Good brother, finally

I've hoped for you!"

Fu Jingtao asked with concern: "Have you found a clue for the suspect?"

Wang Jien shook his head and said, "The murderer came without a trace, and he had a good killing technique. He did not even alarm the spy who was secretly monitoring Ma Wanzhu. I guess at this moment, the murderer had already left the city and left without a trace.

Now.”

Fu Jingtao asked again: "Did you find evidence or account books that Ma Wanzhu resells the armed forces?"

Wang Jien smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Wanzhu's bedroom, study and secret room were all over the place, and all valuables were stolen. Even if there were documents and books hidden, how could it be found? If I had known this guy would not have died easily, I would have yesterday.

It's time to start!"

He originally planned to collect enough evidence and take down Ma Wanzhu, try to pry open his mouth and catch all the people involved in the transaction. Only by doing a solid case can we avoid attacks from the door - who would have expected it

Is horses so short-lived?

Fu Jingtao said regretfully: "Ma Wanzhu is the key figure in solving the case, but unfortunately he has not known more of his secrets. How dare you ask what decision will you make next?"

Wang Jien said: "I am now in a mess, so I would like to ask Captain Fu to help me get an idea."

Fu Jingtao said: "Li Yongping has a close relationship with Ma Wanzhu and is on duty in the imperial city. He must immediately send someone to arrest him! All departments in the army who involve Ma Wanzhu will be reviewed first, regardless of the size of the official position.

Be imprisoned. In addition, the emperor asked the emperor to send elite cavalry out of the city and immediately round up the Khitan spies. If they encounter resistance, they will be killed without any consequences!"

Wang Jien hesitated and said, "Will you admit that you are incompetent and miscalculated when you go to see the emperor? Besides, the hiding place of the Khitans has not been locked yet. What if the army is out and lost?"

Fu Jingtao said: "Mr. Wang, even if you don't say it, do you really think the emperor knows nothing about it? Sometimes it's not beautiful if you worry too much!"

When Wang Jien heard this heart-killing statement, he was shocked and sweated profusely - whoever thought that Zhao Kuangyin could deceive at will will not be far from death! Especially for a small person like him who was born to cling to the imperial power, if he lost his holy family

, even more humble than the dogtail grass on the roadside. He slapped himself in the face and said, "Thank you for your reminder! I will immediately enter the palace to face the saint, please give me the tiger talisman!"

Fu Jingtao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang might as well put all the charges on the Khitans, saying that they were exposed because of their whereabouts, and they were desperate to jump over the wall, and they were willing to kill people to silence and destroy relevant clues. After the incident, the spies from the Imperial City Department discovered that the suspicious person was out of the city.

No, you must dispatch cavalry out of the city to encircle and suppress. If you successfully kill Xiao Chilang and his guards this time, that would be a great achievement!”

Wang Jien suddenly realized that it was not important who was the real murderer. The important thing was to kill the arrogant Khitans, and take this opportunity to knock on the general's door, and praised him with a thumbs up: "The lieutenant is young but thoughtful, which is admirable!"

He had a list of suspected involvement in reselling armies. With an order, the Imperial City Office went out everywhere, breaking into various military camps or mansions like wolves and tigers, and arresting them in large numbers. At the same time, Wang Ji'en hurried back to the palace to see Zhao Kuangyin

After reporting the case, he quickly received the tiger talisman, lit up the troops, and rushed out of the imperial city with murderous intent.

Ma Wanzhu was killed in a strange family, and the capture of the Imperial City Commander was like thunder. One message after another was collected and passed on by beggars scattered on the streets, and finally summarized it at Zhou Chengzong. Zhou Chengzong smelled a little uneasy from it and made a quick decision.

He asked Zhu Luo to summon dozens of beggars and follow him to the old Fengqiu Gate.

The imperial guards guarding the gate saw a group of dirty and smelly beggars coming, and covered their mouths and noses to signal them to leave quickly.

After leaving the city gate, Zhou Chengzong sent off the beggars such as Zhu Luo and found Hongyan Tower alone.

According to the agreement, Yelu Huge sent people here every day at noon to exchange information with Xiao Chilang's confidants. It is far away from noon, and there are very few diners in the building. Just from the appearance and clothing, it is impossible to tell which one is a Khitan.

.

Zhou Chengzong did not understand the Khitan's contact code, and could not publicly promote his identity. He scratched his scalp, slipped to the kitchen and took a burning dry firewood. He kept lighting the door curtains, window lattices and piles of firewood. But he saw that

Flames rose everywhere, connected in a blink of an eye, and the entire restaurant was surrounded by fire. A large column of smoke rushed straight to the sky, as if a wolf smoke rose.

As long as Xiao Chilang is not stupid, he should be inferred that there is change in the city.
