Chapter 65
The hour of Mao has just passed, and Baokang Gate of the inner city.≤
It was early in the morning, and people who were pushing carts and carrying loads into the inner city to sell vegetables and goods suddenly scattered to both sides.
A group of people rode their horses and passed through the city gate like this. An old man was carrying a load and avoided it a little slower. One of the load was knocked away and rushed into the crowd next to him, flew away and was in chaos.
Several soldiers guarding the city ran out and looked at the group of people in the distance. One of them murmured: "It's from the Detailed Inspection Department. Is this a major case happening again?"
"If Qifeng Mansion handles the case, the irrelevant people will get out of the way!" A few miles away, a team of yamen runners escorted a large sedan chair and landed at the gate of a large courtyard. The yamen runners beat the crowds who were watching the fun far away. The prefect of Qifeng Mansion came out of the sedan chair, looked up at the rising sun in the east, and sighed.
This year, the capital is really not peaceful, and I don’t know how long can I stay in this position as the governor?
At the same time, in a brothel on the bank of Jun River, several men rushed in and found a young man: "Captain Nangong?Captain Nangong?Captain Nangong?Shimama summoned him. There was a major case in the capital. Let you go quickly."
A young man named Nangong Jiayou was shaking, climbed up from a lady's bed, pressing his drowsy head after a hangover: "A major case has occurred in the capital. Look for Qifeng Mansion and the Qingjian Department? Where is the constable of the Ministry of Justice? I am from the Inspection Department, but I just go back to the capital to pay a job. What are you asking me for?"
"The case is serious and there is not enough manpower. I heard that three people died suddenly last night. The Ministry of Justice has made every effort to investigate the case. People in the Three Laws yamen, whether it is the Inspection Department or the Inspection Department, have been urgently recruited as long as they are famous arrests."
"Three dead? Your capital is really a fuss. There is a random conflict in the world. When will you die ten or eight? I didn't see the court take it seriously. It's the turn of the capital to be so precious." Nangong Jiayou, who was originally escorting scholars from all over the country to return home, had just returned to the capital to serve, and thought he could have a few days off, complained, "Tell me, who died?"
"I heard that it is Situ Lei, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, the Right Selection of Lord Situ, Fang Fang, the daughter of the Minister of Dali Temple, and Wu Yuqiu, the daughter of the Right Pushe of Shangshu and the Minister of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."
Nangong Jiayou paused there suddenly and turned to look at the talking detective. Is this really... crazy?!
In desperation, the Qinggong in the brothel called Qingshui to make his head clear, and rushed to the Ministry of Justice. On the way, someone had already come to inform him and went directly to one of the crime sites. When the horse was about to come, he rushed to the mansion of Situ Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and there were already crying in the mansion.
When he arrived at the back garden, he saw the prefect of Qifeng. When the prefect saw him coming, he quickly said, "Captain Nangong!"
Nangong Jiayou naturally knew that although the Qifeng Prefecture Prefecture was of great power, it was a bit difficult for Qifeng Prefecture to investigate the real serious case, so he said, "Sir, don't worry, I'll go and take a look first." He lifted the pearl curtain and walked into the boudoir, then frowned.
In the room, a girl seemed to be "embedded" into the wall, her body was pressed against the wall, but her head had exploded. Her brain and blood were spreading onto the wall like a fan, and even the sea of algae above was covered with miserable red. A row of blood words were written from top to bottom: "You are the first day of the lunar month, I am the fifteenth; I am the fire-worshiping demon girl, and I will be killed... The murderer is the bat son!"
At the same time, another man in another mansion in the distance was looking at the same sentence. "You are on the first day of the lunar month, I am on the fifteenth day; I am on the witch to the fire, and I will be killed... The murderer, the Bat Master!" The man repeated this sentence.
This is the mansion of Lord Fang Mingdafang, the head of Dali Temple, but it is different from the one in Situ's Mansion. The same sentence is cut out with a blade, and it can even be cut into the dragon, phoenix and phoenix dance.
Next to this sentence, there was also a girl. She was wearing only the thinnest robe, her whole body became a strange round, her legs were on top, her chest was on the bottom, her head and fragrant feet were on the back, and at the same time, she was "stuck" into the wall, and she was hanging there like this. I don't know how the murderer did it.
This man was Cen Feihu, the famous arrest of the "Iron-faced God-Broken" of the Inspectorate Department, and was also a four-person guard in front of the imperial guard. Listening to the crying outside, he knew that although his daughter was dead, he was actually lucky for the Fang family.
Although he claimed to the outside world that three people died, in fact, only two people were actually killed. Before coming here, he went to the mansion of Lord Wu, the Right Pushe of Shangshu and the Secretariat of the Secretariat. The accident was Wu Yuqiu, the daughter of Lord Wu. However, when he arrived, did Wu Yuqiu die, or... in fact, it was even worse than death.
Seeing that his daughter looked like, Lord Wu had gone crazy, all the people he brought to Wu's mansion were knowledgeable and used to seeing various scenes. One of them was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot.
There is also a sentence like this: "You are the first day of the lunar month, and I am the fifteenth day of the lunar month; I will be punished by the witch who worships the fire... The murderer Bat Master!"

Although the government forced the news to suppress the news, the news of murders in the capital still spread like wildfire.
On the one hand, panic arises in the hearts of the people because of the uneasiness in the capital. On the other hand, the daughters of senior officials in the court naturally inevitably arouse all kinds of speculations. The words "Treasure Worship" are also spread invisibly.
For the common people, they do not need the so-called truth or facts at all. All they need is the so-called "secrets" that can be used for them to chat quietly on the streets and alleys. No matter what the truth is, for them, the word "Zodiac Witch" has hit the dead daughters.
Mei Wu Taichung, the girl in red who found out the news, didn't know whether she should be surprised or happy. Because she knew very well that she should have been one of them, she was even thinking about what kind of way would she die if the mysterious boy did not let her go last night?
Is the head bursting, or is the body twisting it into a circle and hanging it on the wall?
Or maybe it's like Wu Qiuyu...
The Minister of Personnel's Office, a young woman named Cheng Yasi, was restless.
Three people died overnight, and she knew very clearly that all three people died were her sisters.
The bat boy came for them.
However, this feeling of restlessness soon disappeared again. She was the messenger selected by the Holy Phoenix. She had seen the sacred and powerfulness of the Holy Phoenix with her own eyes. Human life is so short that only the flame of the Holy Phoenix will eventually illuminate the entire world and bring eternity to this universe.
They should be proud to be able to die for the Holy Phoenix, and she will definitely be proud.
"You are doing the first day of the lunar month, I am doing the fifteenth day of the year... He came for us!" In the darkness, a woman's voice sounded softly.
"It was originally that we started dealing with him first, and it was not surprising that he wanted to take revenge." Another slightly older voice said, "The question is, why can he find them? How much does he know about us?"
"No matter what, we must not let him continue to kill like this."
"Yes, you must not let him continue to kill like this... You must get rid of him as soon as possible!"
The two people in the dark whispered that the "people who broke the sky" prophecies by the female master are far more terrifying and harder to deal with than they imagined. They even began to regret that they dared to provoke such a person without making enough preparations last time.
But no matter what, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Obviously, they and the Bat Young Master... either you die or I die!
...

"Brother Ning, what does this matter have to do with you and Zhengqi?" Gan Yushu, beside the Ranshui River, in the courtyard, looked at the boy standing in front of him and swaying a fan seriously.
"Do you suspect that Bat Young Master is our person?" Ning Jiang shook his head, "I also hope we can have such a master, but it's a pity... no!"
Gan Yushu was a little unbelievable: "But the three people he killed last night are all on your list."
Ning Jiang said: "I also heard of the murderer's method of killing those three girls. To be honest... I am deeply ashamed! Even if it is revenge, they are all women after all, so why should I do this?"
Gan Yushu said: "Revenge?"
Ning Jiang said: "Have you ever heard of the riots in the capital the night before the palace examination? According to the investigation by the Zhengqi League, that night, the Zoroastrianism was taking the monster to chase the bat prince. I don't know what deep hatred between the Zoroastrianism and the bat prince, but it is obvious that the Zoroastrianism provoked people they shouldn't mess with. That night, many people died in the outer city. Except for the Quanzhen people and the soldiers killed by the monsters, all the others were Zoroastrians."
Gan Yushu said in surprise: "It's so?" He walked two steps and said: "Brother Ning, what you said is related to Zoroastrianism is of great importance. I want to tell someone and ask him for help. Please agree."
Ning Jiang naturally knew that it was impossible for him to say anything like this. Although Gan Yushu was willing to believe him, he would definitely be wary of him, so as not to be exploited by his lies.
He said: "If it is someone that Brother Gan can truly trust..."
Gan Yushu said: "This person is called Cen Feihu, and is known as the "Iron-faced God-Duan". He was once a famous knight in the world. Later, he joined the Xiangjian Department. Brother Ning just rest assured. I have a close friendship with Captain Cen and I believe in his character. Moreover, there is a matter of Zoroastrian spies in the capital, so the court should know as soon as possible."
Ning Jiang said: "Since Brother Gan believes in this Captain Cen, I naturally want to believe him. I have only one request, and I will see him, but Brother Gan must not reveal my true identity. Brother Gan should also know that I am just a scholar and do not know any martial arts. If I leak something related to the Zhengqi Alliance, any person in the Qing sect can easily pinch me to death. I trust Brother Gan, so that you can know..."
Gan Yushu hesitated: "We must protect our identity and let you meet him. How can we do this...?"
Ning Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Gan, don't worry, I naturally have a way, as long as you are willing to keep your mouth shut for me!"
That night, Gan Yushu walked in an alley with the "Iron-faced God-Broken" Cen Feihu.
Three murders occurred overnight last night. Cen Feihu didn't have time to do anything else, but after hearing that Gan Yushu was the one who knew the Zhengqi League, he was immediately moved.
The murderer last night was obviously not an ordinary person. The guards of the three families were all warriors hired for a lot of money. The girls in their family were so tortured and killed in their boudoir, and no one noticed them, and they didn't even hear any movement. This was obviously an incomprehensible thing.
If the murderer is really the "Bat Young Master" who killed the full halal man Wang Yiqing, then he is naturally a real master, and he is also a master who is proficient in some kind of magic.
Such a master cannot catch him with ordinary means, so he can only find him through a network called "Jianghu".
The Zhengqi Alliance is currently in the capital, which is such a network. It gathers all the religions and the worlds in the capital, and can gather these sects that were originally just wrecked dogs into a single piece of iron in the rainbow of the Qing sect. The characters behind it must be an extraordinary person.
Therefore, when Gan Yushu said he wanted to bring him to meet such a person, he immediately followed him without saying a word.
He believed in Ganyushu, just as Ganyushu believed in him, the two of them had a life-long friendship.
At this moment, dusk passed, and it was not yet dark. It was just that the alley seemed dark. When I walked through a house, the old couple who were having supper in the courtyard looked at them and said nothing. Then, I passed a bamboo forest and arrived in a secluded courtyard.
A man stood there with an expressionless face.
Cen Feihu felt that the man looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a look, and then moved and said, "Master Lei He, Wu Lei Temple?"
Taoist Lei He said slowly: "Captain Cen, no see for a long time."
Cen Feihu looked at him: "I thought the Taoist priest was no longer alive..."
Taoist Lei He said coldly: "The murderer who killed my daughter is still alive, how can I die before him?"
Cen Feihu was silent for a while and sighed: "Sorry, although I also know who the murderer who killed Ling Yuan was, he was cautious and we really couldn't find any evidence..."
Taoist Lei He said lightly: "I can understand that if you were the hero Cen before, I believe you had already killed Zhenjiguan with me. But now you are the captain Cen, and you are in the world, and you have no choice but to do so. If you are in the court, you will be even more involuntary."
Cen Feihu smiled bitterly, clasped his fists with his hands, bowed, and said nothing more. He knew that although Taoist Lei He understood, he would inevitably complain after all. If it were him, he would definitely complain.
But he really has no choice. People in the martial arts world can do things without evidence, and they all rely on bloody behavior. But if the Three Fass Office also does this, then what is the need for the Three Fass Office? The Three Fass Office acts according to the rules of the martial arts world, but it is not the martial arts world. They can turn a blind eye to the revenge of Taoist Lei He, but it is impossible for them to help either party without evidence.
