Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 214
Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, the man in black showed no fear on his face and still looked at Jia Rui calmly.

Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Jia Rui shook his head, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers raised their swords and guns, like men in black, and started to kill.

The man in black only had a short dagger in his hand, but even so, he was moving back and forth among hundreds of soldiers.
The soldiers holding swords and guns were not allowed to use them because the courtyard was too narrow. Only seven or eight people could come forward each time.

It is this that allows this black man to do so with ease.

Jia Rui looked at the man in black and nodded gently.

This man in black is indeed amazing. With his kung fu, he is also a second-rate master in martial arts worlds such as Swordsman.

Of course, these second-rate masters are middle-to-lower, and cannot reach the level of top second-rate masters.

But even this is astonishing enough.

After Jia Rui came to the world of Red Mansion, he found that the online level of this world was very high, and there were even immortals and gods. However, his martial arts were very poor, and they were all about physical methods.

And Jia Rui relies on the Nine Yang Magic to move freely among the armies, and can be regarded as a god of war.

Jia Rui didn't have time to continue spending time with this black man. Since the other party didn't say anything, he would be captured and sent to a torture expert to pry open his mouth.

After thinking of this, Jia Rui jumped forward fiercely, like a fluttering fallen leaf or a lightning bolt at extremely fast speeds. This feeling was both slow and fast, and it was a very cognitive phenomenon.

When the man in black saw Jia Rui running towards him, he kicked down a soldier and passed towards Jia Rui.

But just when the two sides were about to come into contact, the man in black suddenly raised his hand, and more than a dozen cold stars flew towards Jia Rui.
If an ordinary person faced this situation, he would have to lie down immediately.

But who let the man in black meet Jia Rui?This is a great master with extraordinary powers in the world of martial arts.

Jia Rui suddenly waved his robe sleeves, and he used the Shaolin Temple's cassock to subdue demons.

Those Hanxings flying over were covered by Jia Rui's sleeves and disappeared immediately.

Then, Jia Rui reached out and slapped the man on the shoulder.

The black man immediately vomited blood and was knocked out by Jia Rui again.

Just when Jia Rui thought that the black man would be captured immediately, mixed footsteps suddenly came from his study.

Jia Rui was shocked. Could it be that he had fallen into a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? The man in black was just holding him back, but someone else was actually doing the trick?
Then, out of the corner of his eye, Jia Rui saw another black shadow flying out of the study. Vaguely, Jia Rui found that the black shadow was holding something like a document in its hand, and then the black shadow suddenly resembled the wall. Run away.

This time Jia Rui was really anxious. He didn't use all his skills just now, he was just playing around with the black man. Now he saw that he had fallen into the trap, and the enemy actually used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

In order to regain Qian Cheng's confession, he took a step forward to grab a soldier's steel knife without caring about covering it up, and then poured his inner strength into it and threw it forward.

The steel knife in mid-air was like lightning, piercing the black figure's back with lightning speed.

Although the black shadow said that his kung fu was good, when faced with Jia Rui who was exerting all his strength, he would be as vulnerable as an old rabbit meeting a lion.

He took a steel knife and inserted it directly into the black shadow's body, then took him flying forward for a certain distance, and then inserted it into the wall, hanging the black man on the wall.

"Go up and take the things back."

As soon as Jia Rui gave the order, dozens of people rushed forward and surrounded the black man.

Just when Jia Rui paid attention to the black figure, the man in black who was injured by Jia Rui suddenly jumped up, then jumped onto the wall and floated away.

Jia Rui's footsteps moved for a moment, but then stopped again. He had no time to care about this person now. As long as the confession came back, he would have time to settle accounts with him in the future.

Then, Jia Rui turned his attention to the black figure again.

The soldiers surrounding him had already pulled the man in black off the wall, and then returned to Jia Rui with a document.

"My lord, I found what you wanted."

Jia Rui took it and looked at it, his eyes froze.

It turned out that this thing was not a confession at all, but an ordinary document.

Jia Rui immediately threw the thing on the ground, then quickly returned to the room, went to his desk and rummaged through the cabinet, and finally found the confession.

At this point, Jia Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this thing is there, he will be invincible.

Just when Jia Rui let out a sigh of relief, Zhou Lang hurried in from outside.

"Sir, something bad happened. Qian Cheng was assassinated in prison."

Jia Rui's face darkened. He was careless this time. He didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel and started to kill people and silence them.

It seemed that the people sent by the emperor were using a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, they killed Qian Cheng in prison to silence him, and on the other hand, they came to steal the confession from him.

If this thing is done, I will really have no evidence, and there will be no threat to the emperor.

And even if they were halfway done and just killed Qian Cheng, the confession in their hands would still be there, but they would not be able to cure the emperor and bring him to death.

Because the emperor could retort that these confessions were concocted by Jia Rui to frame the emperor.

Jia Rui stamped his foot hard.

Although a little frustrated, Jia Rui did not completely lose hope.Some things do not require evidence at all. As long as the Supreme Emperor doubts the Emperor, the Emperor will not be able to defend himself.

Otherwise, how could there be so many princes who died unjustly in ancient times.

Do those princes really want to usurp the throne and replace the emperor?Not necessarily.

But they all died in the end.

"Send the order and mobilize a thousand elite troops to blockade the imperial envoy's camp. Without my order, not even a mosquito can be allowed to fly in."

"Order the remaining soldiers to search the streets. Once the assassin is found, he will be arrested immediately. If he resists, he will be executed on the spot."

"Yes, the order of the last general."

Zhou Lang quickly agreed and went to do something.

Besides, the man in black who escaped from Jia Rui's study used his last strength and ran towards an alley quickly, then disappeared as soon as he turned around.

Soon, in a dark room, the man in black appeared again.

However, this time, there was a young and beautiful girl beside him, supporting the black man.

"Master, how are you? Is your injury okay?"

"Heh, heh," the man in black coughed a few times, then limply fell to the ground.

"I don't have much time, please listen carefully."

The girl saw that the corner of her master's mouth was bleeding and his chest was slumped, and she knew that there was no hope of saving him.

So she forced herself to calm down, knelt next to her master, and listened to his last words.

"Hurry up and send a letter to the emperor, saying that Qian Cheng has been tortured by Jia Rui to extract a confession. I tried my best to get the confession back. Unfortunately, Jia Rui's martial arts is very strong. I cannot compete with him, so I have to give the confession." If you don’t take it back, let the emperor make plans in advance.”

When he said this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the man in black.

He reluctantly turned his head, looked at his female apprentice and said with a smile: "Master used to think that his kung fu had reached its peak, and few people in the world could stop him. But today, when I met Jia Rui, I realized that I am a frog in the well."

At this point, he took a few breaths, and then continued: "Jia Rui's martial arts has opened up a new path, a new path, and he can be called a great master."

"Master, please stop talking." The bright girl kept urging the master.

"Don't interrupt, just follow my instructions."

The girl had no choice but to nod with tears in her eyes.

"After you send a message to the emperor, don't do this anymore. After that, you can sneak into Jia Rui's house anonymously. I'm not asking you to avenge me, but I want you to steal Jia Rui's martial arts. When the time comes, Let us carry forward the Hidden Killing Faction."

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes, and promised her master: "As long as I am still breathing, I will definitely steal the magical power and carry it forward for my sect."

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved."

After saying this, the black man died.

The girl wiped away her tears and left the secret room. It turned out that there was a dyeing room outside the secret room.

The girl exerted great force and pushed forward with both hands, knocking down the pillar of the dyeing room.

In the end, the entire dyeing room and secret passage were suppressed.

As for Jia Rui, he didn't sleep all night. He was in the imperial envoy's camp, listening to the news from all sides.

It's a pity that Jia Rui searched all of Lanzhou City and couldn't find the other party.

Finally Jia Rui had to give up.

However, what happened yesterday made Jia Rui wary. He couldn't keep this confession with him. Otherwise, who knows what will happen in the future?

Although Jia Rui was not afraid of these because of his extraordinary skills, he still felt annoyed when these little flies and mosquitoes kept flying around him.

So Jia Rui left the imperial envoy's post immediately after dawn and went directly to the intelligence department's station in Lanzhou.
The offices of the provincial intelligence departments are open-doored and not as secretive as imagined.

The personnel in charge of the Gansu Intelligence Department, after receiving Jia Rui's memorial and confession, immediately rushed this thing to the capital through secret channels.

The Intelligence Department can deliver information faster than the Eight Hundred Mile Express. Two days later, Jia Rui's memorial and Qian Cheng's confession were delivered to the Supreme Emperor's desk.

After reading Jia Rui's memorial, the Supreme Emperor read Qian Cheng's confession again with an expressionless face.

"I didn't expect the emperor to reach out to Gansu!" The Supreme Emperor said in a surprised tone.

The Supreme Emperor always thought that the emperor would focus his attention on wealthy provinces such as Jiangnan because there was money there.

Therefore, the Emperor was very strict with these places.

But I didn't expect that the emperor would go around in a big circle and reach out to this remote area of ​​Gansu.

Fortunately, Jia Rui was smart this time and saw through the fake drought in Gansu. Otherwise, the emperor would have received a large sum of money, and he would use the money to stir up trouble in the court, and he didn't know how many people he could win over.
