Chapter 352 In Progress

Another morning.

In the Chengde Palace, all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were present, and no one was absent.

Nothing big happened today.So when the female officer announced that she was "retiring from the court", the queen was supported by the palace servants.

At this time, a guard ran into the Chengde Palace, knelt down and said, "Report to your lord, the person you want has been caught."

A smile appeared on Feng Lin's indifferent face. She glanced at the guards, thought for a while and said, "Take him to the prison and lock him up. I will personally interrogate him tomorrow."

The guard withdrew.

All the ministers hadn't left yet, listening to the conversation between the guards and Feng Lin felt a little inexplicable.Finally, a minister couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Feng Lin's eyes swept across the ministers, she silently observed and said: "The master of the Dark Night Pavilion, Qu Wanli, has repeatedly committed crimes on this king's head. Recently, this king has set up a net of heaven and earth. Finally caught him today."

The fact that Feng Jin was killed by Qu Wanli that day was not publicized because it was related to the face of the royal family.So all the ministers didn't know that the real cause of Feng Jin's death was being killed by Qu Wanli, not committing suicide in fear of crime as written in the imperial decree.

Therefore, to the ears of ordinary ministers, Qu Wanli might just be the leader of an assassin organization in the world.However, Qu Wanli's name is not so simple in the ears of the master messenger behind the scenes.

Feng Lin's eyes slowly glanced over the faces of every minister.She thought that upon hearing the news of Qu Wanli's arrest, even a calm person would reveal some clues!

Of course, Feng Lin had some doubts of her own.In this imperial court, the one who most wanted Feng Jin to die probably belonged to the faction that followed her!The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, Feng Jin knew too many of their secrets, once Feng Jin revealed these secrets to the world, they would have to confess their lives, not to mention their official positions.

What's more, the current Feng Jin can no longer help them continue to get promoted and make a fortune, so why should they follow her?It was precisely because of this thought that they wanted to put Feng Jin to death.

Few people can hide anything in front of Feng Lin, even if the ministers in front of them are all human beings.When Feng Lin's gaze passed through the Hubu servant standing in front of him, and finally landed on the face of Prime Minister Right, she finally did not look away.

Although Prime Minister's face looked the same as usual, there was nothing unusual about it.However, Feng Lin clearly felt a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.This panic lasted for a very short time, just for a split second, but Feng Lin knew that she was not mistaken.

The suspects she has seen so far are completely consistent with Feng Lin's previous conjectures, so what she has to do next is to wait and let the mastermind behind the scenes fall into the trap.

The midsummer night came later than imagined.When the last warm light in the western sky dips into the horizon.Night began to fall, and the entire sky darkened.

Every house is lit with kerosene lamps, the lights are very dim, and it is impossible to illuminate the distance at all.

At the east end of the city is the location of the prison.Since Feng Jin's death, the sky prison has returned to its previous appearance, but the number of guards has increased a lot.

Tonight is destined to be a very thrilling night, because a man wearing a mask was imprisoned in the prison today.The jailers had only met this man not long ago, and he was Qu Wanli who had killed Feng Jin.

Qu Wanli's toughness at that time was still vivid in his memory, and the jailers felt somewhat annoyed.But Feng Lin gave the order himself, and they didn't dare to use lynching.He had to wait for Fenglin's interrogation before taking the opportunity to take revenge.

When the third watch is approaching, let alone the prisoners in the prison.Even the guarding jailer fell asleep.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from nowhere.Accompanied by this wind, there is also a trace of emptiness.Everyone who inhaled the smoke fell to the ground and fell into a deeper sleep.

After a while, the oil lamps on both sides of the aisle flickered, and then several black figures sneaked into the prison without anyone noticing.

The men in black didn't stay too long in the front cell, but took the key from the jailer and walked directly to the deepest cell.

Qu Wanli is no ordinary prisoner, he was locked in the same cell where Feng Lin was imprisoned last time.

The man in black opened the cell door with a key, and pushed open the iron door with some effort.The oil lamp in the cell hadn't been extinguished yet, and the faint light made the men in black see the man cowering in the corner.

Black hair covered his face, but the silver mask on his face shone with a faint silver light.No need to think too much, the man in front of him must be Qu Wanli.

The leading man in black winked at the others, and they immediately pulled out the dagger from their waist knowingly, and slowly moved forward.

Although Qu Wanli's hands and feet were all wearing chains, they did not dare to let go of the slightest slack, after all, the person in front of them was that martial arts master Qu Wanli of the Dark Ye Pavilion.

The cell was very quiet, save for a few slowed breathing sounds, and the sound of feet stepping on dry straw.

Closer, closer.

But Qu Wanli didn't seem to be waking up at all, and the men in black gradually became more courageous.Suddenly, I saw a man in black in the front, throwing his heart away, and rushed towards Qu Wanli who was lying on the ground.

The thin blade was glowing with silver light, and it was about to sink into Qu Wanli's back.At this moment, the person lying on the ground suddenly moved.He stretched out his leg and kicked, and the man in black's dagger fell out of his palm and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Then, he jumped up on the ground suddenly, and when the men in black were still in shock, he shot quickly and kept them under control.

This scene happened too fast, but in a few blinks.The situation suddenly changed drastically.

For a moment, only the man in black standing at the door of the cell was left intact.Seeing this, she also knew that they had been tricked.She turned around and was about to run away.

But the moment she turned around, the flames surged, and a group of jailers filed in from outside, blocking the way out tightly.

Then, the man in black saw a person behind the jailer, and this person was Feng Lin.

The jailer automatically separated from the two sides, and Feng Lin walked all the way to the man in black.At this time, the person who was in the previous prison also came out.He reached out and took off the mask, revealing a handsome but indifferent face. The owner of this face was clearly Shen Mo who had returned from the mission.

The face of the man in black looks like death, how can she escape from the gray matter now?

Feng Lin didn't give her a chance to think, she gave an order: "Shen Mo, take her down."
