Chapter 42 Zhonglang will investigate the case

Fang Cheng stuffed his mouth full of cakes, and suddenly heard someone talking. Without paying attention, the cakes got into his throat, and his face turned red from holding it in.

The woman raised her hand and slapped Fang Cheng's chest from a distance, causing Fang Cheng to spit out a large mouthful of powder. It looked so embarrassing.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Fang Cheng looked stupid. He raised his head and thought again and again: "I'm looking for a show."

"Nangong Yuxiu."

"It seems so, then that's it."

Wen Xue stretched out his hand: "Letter."

"No, I can't give it to you. The prince said he would give it to the emperor. Are you the emperor? The emperor is a man, but you are not a man."

A silver needle flew out and plunged straight into Fang Cheng's neck. Fang Cheng screamed and lay straight on the table.

Wen Xue greeted the shopkeeper: "Search yourself."

The shopkeeper took out everything on Fang Cheng's body. Except for the money, there was only a memorial and a letter. The memorial was presented to the emperor and the letter was addressed to Wen Xue.

After Wen Xue read the letter, she raised her hand and threw it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood and took it behind to burn it.

"When he wakes up, tell him to go to the Ministry of Rites to find Cao Jinghui."

After saying that, Wen Xue drifted away.

After Wen Xue left here, he didn't know that the capital was already in chaos, and several soldiers guarding the city were found killed in a house near the city gate.

The prison guard was shocked when he learned about it and dared to kill the guard in broad daylight. This was not an ordinary bad case.

The prison guard did not dare to take responsibility and reported it immediately.

The news was uploaded layer by layer until it reached the ears of Wei Zihua, the general of the Jinwu Guard. Hearing that a master was killing people in the capital, he immediately mobilized the entire city's troops and quickly targeted Fang Cheng.

Poor Fang Cheng had just woken up, and before he had even eaten, he was locked up by the government officials who came over. The large iron chain used to bind wild beasts was put around his body, but he could not use his magical power.

Fang Cheng shouted loudly: "What are you going to do? I'm looking for the emperor! I'm looking for the emperor!"

The officials were shocked. It turned out that the guard who killed him was looking for the emperor. Such a vicious and powerful man who had great martial arts skills came to the capital to look for the emperor, so he must be here to assassinate him.

The prison guard rushed over immediately and saw seven or eight people holding Fang Cheng, still struggling, and was shocked: "Where is this master from?"

"Sir, he may be here to assassinate Your Majesty. He keeps calling for the Emperor."

After all, the prison guard's thinking was a little higher than that of ordinary soldiers. How could he want to kill the emperor so openly? Moreover, this man looked stupid, so he must have other things.

"That man, I am the prison guard of the capital. Where are you from and what are you doing with His Majesty?"

After Fang Cheng arrived in the capital, he was first deceived by the guards and almost killed. He had no good impression of these officers and soldiers at all. When he saw the leader approaching, he was even more disgusted and didn't say a word.

Fang Cheng forgot that he was also a member of the system.

"If I don't tell you, do you want to kill me too? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid."

The prison guard asked curiously: "Who wants to kill you?"

"You, and you, you guys."

Fang Cheng couldn't draw his hand, he didn't know people, he only knew clothes, and he only pointed at a bunch of government servants with his mouth.

The matter was so serious that the prison guard did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he had Fang Cheng taken to the cell first and let Wei Zihua handle it.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wei Zihua looked a little surprised: "That man kept shouting to see His Majesty? Did he say the reason?"

"There seems to be something wrong with his brain, so he would say this. We wanted to search him to find out where he came from, but this man has great martial arts skills and extraordinary powers. Anyone who got close to him was knocked away by him."

"How did you find such masters?"

The prison guard looked a little stunned: "We didn't look for him at all. After he killed the person, he walked struttingly down the street, asking questions all the way. Then he went to Wufangzhai for dinner, and we caught him at the gate of Wuzhaifang."

Wei Zihua murmured to himself: "Isn't this just a fool?"

"We think so too, but he keeps clamoring to see His Majesty, and his martial arts are so strong that we really don't dare to be careless."

"I gonna go see."

Wei Zihua went all the way to the prison. After going there, he discovered that Fang Cheng was missing. After questioning, he learned that someone from the Ministry of Punishment had taken Fang Cheng away.

Wei Zihua was furious: "You bastard, who asked the Ministry of Punishments to come and take away the people arrested by our Jinwu Guard?"

The prison guard reminded in a low voice: "Sir, we can only arrest people. It is right for the Ministry of Punishments to come and arrest people."

"I need you to remind me? Those old guys from the Criminal Department have always been slow to do things. When did it happen so quickly? There is a problem with this matter. How long have they been gone?"

"Come back to me, my lord. We've just walked less than half a stick of incense. It's probably too late to catch up now."

Wei Zihua turned around and went out, mounted his horse and galloped towards the Criminal Department.

But when he arrived at the Punishment Department, Wei Zihua still didn't see anyone from the Punishment Department along the way. This made him very strange. Although there were many roads between the two departments, this one was the closest. Where would they go if they didn't take this one?

"Master Wei, what kind of wind brings you here?"

The petty officer at the entrance of the criminal department smiled broadly when he saw Wei Zihua.

"Let me ask you, where are the prisoners who were just captured from our Jinwu Guard?"

"What prisoner? I haven't seen any prisoners from the Jinwu Guard today."

"What did you say?"

The junior official was startled by Wei Zihua: "Sir, I have been at the door and I really didn't see anyone coming."

Wei Zihua felt a chill in his heart. He was afraid that the man was gone, but who was he? Who took him away?

Wei Zihua turned his horse and headed back, but the more he thought about it along the way, the more something was wrong. There was something really fishy about this matter. He thought that the man had been to Wufangzhai, and then changed the direction to Wufangzhai.

Just now, the government officials arrested Fang Cheng in Wufangzhai. The excitement was not over at this moment. People gathered together and speculated who the arrested person was. It took so many people to hold him down.

When the chattering people saw Wei Zihua coming, they dispersed one after another. Wei Zihua ignored them and called the shopkeeper after entering the store.

"Tell me about the person who just came here in detail."

The shopkeeper looked bitter: "Sir, we really don't know him. He just came to have a meal, and then you caught him."

Wei Zihua sneered: "Well, I know your reputation in the world, don't let me take you back for questioning."

The shopkeeper's face froze: "Sir, I run Wufangzhai according to my duties and have never committed any crimes. Even you can't lock me in for no reason."

Wei Zihua got up and left. He stopped at the door and said, "He may be dead."

After saying that, Wei Zihua walked out, mounted his horse and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper chased him out: "Wait a moment."

Wei Zihua smiled, dismounted and followed the shopkeeper inside.

The shopkeeper said: "I really don't know who he is, but he came to see Miss Wen Xue with a handwritten letter from Nangong Yuxiu."

These two names were familiar to Wei Zihua, because they were the direct disciples of that master, and it was said that their martial arts had reached the realm of transformation.

"I heard that the relationship between Wen Xue and Nangong Yuxiu is extremely unharmonious. If Nangong Yuxiu is willing to write a handwritten letter, it must be a big deal. Where is Nangong Yuxiu now?"

"I heard that I went to Youzhou some time ago to monitor Taoist Qingfeng. I don't know anything else."
