dream of red mansion

Jia Qing slightly let go of the hand holding the armrest of the chair, and asked lightly: "Oh, there is such a thing... Then who is the murderer?"

Lai Sheng said: "I don't know who the murderer is yet, I only heard that it seems to be a woman."

"what?"

Jia Qing was startled and asked her background, a woman, how could she be a woman...?

Lai Sheng gave Jia Qing a slightly surprised look, not understanding why his second master was so surprised.

"Then... has the murderer been caught?"

"Caught..."

Jia Qing's hands tightened, but there was no expression on his face, he just heard Lai Sheng continue: "It is said that the woman's skills are really extraordinary, after she was discovered, the guardian of He's house couldn't do anything to her, and later she was still It alarmed the officers and soldiers who were on patrol at night, so they took it down, and now it has been imprisoned in the prison of Shuntian Mansion."

Lai Sheng was also very surprised, these days, there are still people who dare to assassinate Shoufu in the capital.But after he finished speaking, he found that Jia Qing didn't seem to be listening to him seriously, but just frowned in thought. Lai Sheng didn't dare to speak out to remind him, so he had to stand there with his head bowed, waiting for Jia Qing's instructions.

Suddenly, Lai Sheng only felt that Jia Qing's body trembled, but when he looked up, he saw that Jia Qing's expression was not as calm as usual, and there was a terrifying look in his eyes that ate people, which made his heart tremble. I couldn't help feeling apprehensive.

Fortunately, within a few breaths, Jia Qing calmed down again.

"Go down... inquire carefully, if you have any news, come back to me as soon as possible!"

"Yes."

Although Lai Sheng felt that something was wrong with Jia Qing, he didn't understand the reason and didn't dare to ask further questions, so he had to follow his advice.

"Come on."

"exist!"

Following Jia Qing's summons, the young servant who was guarding the door rushed in.

"What is the second master's order?"

"Tell Wang Shun to call me Brother Yun!"

......

Shuntian Mansion Yamen is usually a relatively leisurely Yamen.

There are many yamen in the capital, and it is the residence of the Son of Heaven. Not many people dare to make trouble in the capital, so the subordinates of the yamen just go to the yamen on time to order a job. Those who should be on duty are on duty, and the others either hide in one place Bragging and farting, even gathering in a hut to gamble a little money, or simply skipping work and going home to sleep with your wife in your arms...

Today is different. Many subordinates came over lazily, ready to order a dick as usual, and then do what they should do, and soon discovered the unusual atmosphere today.

These most naughty little officials restrained their laziness one by one, and pretended to report in Dianmaofang.Then he didn't dare to leave, instead he held on to his friend, or the one who was on duty last night, to find out what's going on...

When it was heard that there was an assassin at Lord Shoufu's residence, and now that the murderer was locked up in the yamen, how could they dare to be lazy, and they all put up their spirits, quickly went to their posts, and stood up. s position.

As a result, the majestic No. [-] government office had a rare killing spirit.

"Da da da da..."

A party of horses drove up across the street.There was a sharp-eyed little official who saw the identity of the person who came, and before the other side approached, he immediately ran inside and informed their prefect.

Soon the prefect of Shuntian came out with two of his subordinates. When he saw the visitor, he immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "I don't know if Zhang Zhuangyuan is driving you, but he is far away to welcome him, and he is far away to welcome him!"

Zhang Ziwen, who was walking in, didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic, so he hurried forward and gave a salute first, saying: "Master Zhifu is polite, I really dare not be an official."

"Where is there, Zhang Zhuangyuan is Wu Butang's confidant and favorite general, and he is also the number one scholar. I am afraid that in a few years, Zhang Zhuangyuan will be able to show his talents in the court. I really want to be an official this time." I'm sorry..."

The prefect of Shuntian enthusiastically lifted Zhang Ziwen's hand, helped him up, and said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Ziwen was speechless.He's just a small sixth-rank manager, isn't this guy overly warm and polite?I can't afford to be...

However, since the person in the flower sedan chair is carrying someone, since the other party is giving face so much, he will not be unreasonable. He also smiled and said a few words politely, and then explained the purpose of coming:

"Master Shoufu was assassinated, the Holy One was furious, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case with full power. The lower officials were ordered to come and escort the criminals to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. I would also like to ask the prefect to facilitate it. The lower officials will be very grateful."

The magistrate of Shuntian heard this, his eyes lit up, and then hesitated: "Since Mr. Zhang came here by order, I naturally have no reason not to cooperate, but this..."

Zhang Ziwen understood what he meant, took a document from the follower next to him, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "This is the promotion document issued by the minister, please have the magistrate look it over."

"Hey, Mr. Zhang is too polite, how can I not trust Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang please come inside..."

The prefect of Shuntian spoke nicely, but he quickly took the document in his hand, opened it and glanced at it, saw the big seal of the Ministry of Punishment stamped on it, smiled very satisfied, and then closed the document again , and asked Zhang Ziwen to go inside.

Zhang Ziwen smiled slightly, but he didn't mind.The matter is of great importance, and it is right for the other party to be cautious.

After some handovers and completion of the relevant procedures, Zhang Ziwen refused the invitation of the prefect of Shuntian to stay and have tea, brought the relevant people and escorted the criminal to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

......

Only twenty miles away from the capital, there is a village named Taohua Village. In the village there is a not too big manor named Red Sandalwood Castle. It used to be the place where a country gentry lived. The family left here and moved to another place, leaving this Zhuangzi.

Later, it was taken over by a group of people with rather mysterious origins, and then outsiders could not know the situation inside, but they often saw some young girls haunting it, which made the villagers in the village feel a little curious.

At this time, in a main room in Red Sandalwood Castle, more than a dozen women in white clothes with swords were gathered here, but the atmosphere was not very good.

"Sister Fu, Miss and the others haven't come back all night, something must have happened, we can't wait any longer."

A woman said anxiously to Fu Huiwen who was sitting in front.

Fu Huiwen was the original eldest sister of Qingshuangtang, and she was also the elder sister who went to Jia Qing to ask Jia Qing to help save Qingshuangtang's sisters when she was in the south of the Yangtze River last time.

After Jia Qing rescued hundreds of women from Qingshuangtang, he gave them a hundred or two hundred horses and got nothing.In this world, even a woman who can fist and kick can hardly survive alone.

Therefore, except for a very small number of people who chose to leave, most of them chose to follow Wu Xian'er and join Xuewei, who originally belonged to the same sect as them.

Naturally, Wu Xian'er had no reason not to take her in. It just so happened that Jia Qing gave her such a large sum of money, and she only took a small part to escort her adoptive father back to Wudang Mountain. .

So, in fact, they have been in Taohua Village for a long time. They just obeyed Wu Xian'er's order and didn't contact Jia's house again.

Every day, I just close the door to practice kung fu, and occasionally go out to inquire about news, living a life of sitting and eating in a group house.

They knew the news that all the senior members of the White Lotus Sect would be executed the next day. When they were at their wit's end and Luzhu was about to stop following Wu Xianer's orders and asked Jia's for help, Wu Xianer happened to arrive.

That's why Wu Xian'er visited Ningguo Mansion at night.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Fu Huiwen also looked anxious, and looked up at the green pearl on the side.If she wasn't familiar with the capital, she would have brought people to the city to see what happened.

They were originally members of Qingshuangtang, and the original master of Qingshuangtang was also among those who were about to be beheaded this time!

"Sister Luzhu, after Miss entered the city, there was no news. Why don't I go into the city with you to find out what happened?"

At any rate, she was a senior sister, knowing that it would be inconvenient for so many of them to enter the city, so she and Luzhu were only suggested to go.
