Chapter 231

Min Feng quickly arrived at the Guard Bureau of Buzhengfang with the sealed edict, flashed his waist badge, and drove straight in, directly into the bedroom of the chief of the Imperial Army.The leader of the forbidden army got up from the bed in a daze, and went to touch the saber beside the bed in a daze. Min Feng stepped forward and grabbed him from the bed, "Order [-] forbidden troops, and immediately surrounded Chonghuafang."

"Who are you..." Lu Song was furious.Before he could finish speaking, Min Feng had already dragged him out of the door, and when the cold wind and rain blew outside, Lu Song immediately shivered, and only then could he see the appearance of the visitor clearly through the wind lamp in the corridor, but he didn't recognize him , couldn't help getting more and more excited, and shouted: "Come on!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Min Feng had already held up the letter in front of him. Lu Song moved his head back and adjusted the focus, only to see the sentence at the top of the page clearly: Seeing this letter, as my own order, Looking at the seal where the money was signed, my heart suddenly trembled, and I bowed my knees, "I obey the order!"

At this time, the guards of the forbidden army rushed over when they heard Lu Song's shout, and Lu Song stood up and raised his hand, "Squad A, C, D, and Squad [-] immediately regroup and go to Chonghuafang, and Squad B is on standby!"

The guards of the forbidden army froze for a moment, looking at Lu Song who was only wearing a middle coat, he looked a little dazed, Lu Song stomped his feet, stared and shouted: "Deaf?! Go!"

In just a short while, the fourth squad of the imperial guards in the Imperial Guard lit the torches, formed a team, and ran to Chonghuafang with light armor and sabers.While dressing in a hurry, Lu Song grabbed Min Feng and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, Your Excellency is..."

"Min Feng." Min Feng put down his name and went straight to Chonghuafang without further delay.

Lu Song gasped.He only heard of this Min Feng by name, but never met him, but he couldn't be more clear about his background.This is the real imperial man!Look at the meaning of this trip, if you do it well, you will show your face, but if you don't, your head will hang.

Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to dress neatly, grabbed his belt and helmet and rushed out.

Huaiyuan Square is not far from Chonghua Square, Xia Chu and Zheng Lian arrived faster than the Imperial Army.At the beginning of Xia, Zheng Lian found out the land protector of Chonghuafang and asked him if there were any strangers in Chonghuafang recently.

The local security guard shook his head sleepily, "No way. Lord, the law and order in our place has been pretty good recently, and we haven't even had any quarrels."

"No? If we find the person we're looking for from here, you don't have to do it." Xia Chu stared at him, his face was stained with water and mud, making Dibao feel terrified.

He swallowed his saliva, then wrinkled his eyebrows and thought carefully, and said after a while: "A relative came to the sesame oil shop, and it was my sister-in-law who brought the children to see my sister-in-law. Hmm..., and the house in Xinghua Lane is sold .” He pulled his beard and rolled his eyes and thought for a while, “By the way, there is a house in Tianshui Lane that someone recently moved in.”

Sweetwater Lane?Xia Chu felt that the name of the place was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he asked, "When did it happen?"

"Less than half a month. The house has been unoccupied for more than half a year. Recently, the lock on the door is gone, but the door is closed. I went to see it. They have a house deed and everything. They probably moved here. .”

"What's the owner's last name?"

"Gong. What is it called Gong? I can't remember." Di Bao said honestly, afraid that Xia Chu would not believe it, he repeated: "Really, I really can't remember."

Gong?Xia Chu frowned, and gave Zheng Lian a wink, Zheng Lian pinched the shoulder of the land protector and pushed him, "Take us over there to have a look."

As soon as the three of them reached the entrance of Tianshui Lane, they heard a slight movement in the alley, which seemed to be the sound of wheels.Xia Chu's heart tightened, he snatched Zheng Lian's torch and ran inside.Zheng Lian hurriedly followed, but the land protector didn't know what happened, so he turned around and slipped away.

Not long after entering, Xia Chu felt someone was behind her. She turned her head suddenly and saw a person holding a short knife behind Zheng Lian, and the knife had almost reached Zheng Lian's neck.

Xia Chu yelled to be careful, and threw the torch over. Zheng Lian was frightened, and the man stepped back sideways.Half of Zheng Lian's eyebrows were burnt, Xia Chu jumped to the base of the wall to stick to the wall, and then pulled Zheng Lian to his side to prevent being attacked from behind.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Lian didn't understand what was going on, but when he asked, Xia Chu booed him back.

The sound of the wheels could no longer be heard, and the alley was silent, only the hunting sound of burning torches.

Xia Chu raised the torch and looked around, but there was no sign of the man.The slightly fishy vapor in the air mixed with the smell of kerosene made people anxious, as if something was going to explode at any time, but they didn't know where it would explode.

Dazed for a moment, Xia Chu's whole body suddenly trembled, and she raised her head subconsciously. A blade of metal reflected the firelight, and the chill had already approached her head.

Xia Chu's scalp went numb, and he pushed Zheng Lian violently, using the reaction force to dodge to one side, Jiang will lose his standing and fall to the ground after dodging the knife point.

After the man dived to the ground, he rolled up, raised his leg and kicked Xia Chu's hand, kicking the torch in her hand away.The torch drew an arc in the air, landed in a puddle in the distance, and went out with a snort, and the surrounding area was instantly surrounded by dense darkness.

Xia Chu felt as if his wrist was about to break, sat on the ground and took a few steps back, gritted his teeth and stood up against the wall.She leaned against the wall and held her breath, but she couldn't hear any sound. She knew that the person must still be there. Moreover, she couldn't see the other person, but the other person should be able to see her.

After a while, she heard Zheng Lian calling out 'Boss' in a low voice. She knew that Zheng Lian was fine, so she was a little relieved, and was about to tell him to keep quiet and leave the alley quickly, but she heard a soft sneer in her ear.

Right next to the ear, very close.

Xia Chu was terrified, and the hairs all over her body stood on end. She turned her head slightly towards the sound, clenched her fists and prepared to fight, but before she raised her fists, she felt a chill on her neck, as if the blade had It's all embedded in the skin, and it hurts a little.

This pain is very real, it seems that there is no escape, Xia Chu thought.

In the silent night, the rain has no sound, and the wind has no sound.It should only take a moment for the knife to penetrate the flesh, but that moment seems to be particularly long.She closed her eyes, and her fear was gone. Instead, she felt regret, deep regret, as if she had thought a lot.

Until she heard a chilling sound, the sound of a sharp knife cutting into flesh, and then a few drops of hot, sticky liquid, which was different from rainwater, gradually hit her face, and there was a bloody smell immediately. spread.

Xia Chu didn't open his eyes to wait for death, and after waiting for a while, he felt something was wrong.She raised her hand to touch her neck, the heat and touch of the skin were real, there was a shallow wound on her neck, it hurt a little, but it was still intact.

not dead.She breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she feel that her calves were weak, and she lost all strength, leaning against the wall and about to fall.Before she could sit on the ground, she heard a heavy object fall into the muddy water one step ahead of her.

"Are you okay?" It was Min Feng's voice, already close to him.

A stone fell to the ground in Xia Chu's heart. He stroked his heart and took a few breaths. He suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Min Feng and said, "Hurry up! There was a carriage going south just now!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden noise outside the alley. A large number of torches poured into Chonghuafang. The footsteps and shouts of soldiers instantly broke the tranquility of the rainy night.

The imperial army is here, all right.Xia Chu smiled, she couldn't see Min Feng, so she just whispered thank you in his direction based on her feeling.

"You're too risky."

"I don't know when you will come, and I'm afraid that the imperial army won't move, so I dare not wait."

"No. There is an order from the emperor. If you don't obey it, you will be disobeying the order, and you will be executed immediately."

"I see..." Xia Chu nodded.She didn't know that the handwriting was so powerful, Su Zhen was more thoughtful than she was.Thinking about it, Xia Chu felt a little sympathetic to him again. It took a lot of foresight to be thoughtful, and if so, he was calculated.That dragon chair is really hard to sit on.

Holding a torch, Lu Song came in from the alley, and nodded to Min Feng, "Master Min, a carriage has been detained at Nankou, go and have a look."

Min Feng nodded, and said to Xia Chu, "I got it."

Xia Chu heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and took advantage of Lu Song's torch to see clearly the man lying on the ground. He was still holding a dagger in his hand. A sword pierced through his throat from the right side, and the powerful swallow was stuck in the mouth. on the neck.

This was obviously not stabbed with a sword, otherwise the sword would not have left his hand, but he used the sword as a dart from a distance.Xia Chu's eyes widened, and he unconsciously supported his neck and swallowed his saliva.

The man was right next to him just now, and the blade was stuck to his neck. In this day and night, how confident is Min Feng that he dared to use the sword like this.A little bit off, the one who died was himself.

Lu Song also saw the corpse, and naturally understood it through analysis. He was so astonished, and then looked at Min Feng with burning eyes, naked admiration.

Min Feng walked over and pulled out the sword, wiped it on the man's clothes, put the sword into the sheath calmly, and walked out of the alley first.

At the south entrance, a carriage was surrounded by a group of forbidden soldiers holding torches, and the rest of the soldiers were still running elsewhere, fearing that some fish would slip through the net, which stirred up the restlessness in Chonghuafang.Many people were woken up and turned on the lights, but no one dared to open the door.

The driver of the carriage was dead, lying face down on the side of the carriage, with a dagger tied around his neck.Xia Chu looked at the coachman, then at the guards around him, and frowned.

"Come out!" Lu Song stepped forward and shouted to the carriage.There was no movement in the car, Lu Song was very annoyed, and said to the guard next to him: "Go! Dismantle the car for me!"

"Master Lu still has such a violent temper." Someone in the car said, then smiled loudly again, and opened the curtain with one hand.

Xia Chu had never heard this voice before, but Min Feng and Lu Song frowned.While talking, a person came out of the car, he was not young, with a gray beard, but his body was straight, but he looked quite dignified in his clothes.

"Who is this person?" Xia Chu asked Min Feng in a low voice.

"Wu Zonghuai."
