The general went out again at night + extra episode

At the same moment when the two raised their heads, a ghostly voice sounded: "No, it's in front."

Before the words fell, thirteen darts were shot from the golden fan, cutting off several important veins on He Ao and Lu Kongyue's bodies.The dart was inserted into the bamboo pole, and the two of them fell to the ground.

The ghost face closed the fan with a smile, snapped its fingers in the air, and then a group of men in black who had been lying in wait for a long time appeared and took the two away.

***

The sun has risen, but the sky is still gloomy, and the capital city in the twelfth lunar month is doomed to be restless.

Fengxian Hall.

It was still early, the brazier in the hall had just been lit, and the coolness of the morning had not yet completely dissipated.Emperor Hongsu held a memorial in his hand, and read it word by word, frowning tightly.

Zhou Louxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance with gray temples, knelt on the red carpet in the palace, crying: "Your Majesty, please be the master of this old minister! This old minister has a son, just such a son. A few days ago, he was killed by the grandson of Mr. Zhao Ge. The wound was blown up with firecrackers, and it has not healed yet, but was assassinated by an assassin at midnight today! Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister!"

There was a heavy knock on the head, and then a long sigh came from the dragon chair. Emperor Hongsu raised his head and looked at Zhou Louxing, who had aged a lot overnight, with a frosty face: "The assassin actually broke into the Governor's Mansion!" kill?"

"That's right, the son of the old minister was killed in the back office of the Dudu Mansion."

This is where things get serious.The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies not only has to train soldiers and protect the peace of the frontier, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the Forbidden City.

If an assassin breaks into the governor's mansion, it's like entering no one's land. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to break into the palace?Emperor Hongsu thought of something more profound, and his face was very ugly.

"Come on, call me Qin Lu and Xia Qingshu together."

"Yes."

The eunuch left to deliver the decree, but Zhou Louxing's sobs still echoed in Fengxian Hall.

Emperor Hongsu's face softened a little, and he said warmly to Zhou Louxing: "My condolences, Zhou Qing, I will definitely give you justice in this matter. Come here and give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." The palace servants in the palace helped Zhou Louxing up and carried him to the round stool.Zhou Louxing sat down and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

After two sticks of incense, left governor Qin Lu and Xia Qingshu arrived at Fengxian Hall, and saluted Emperor Hongsu together.

"Chen Qin Road."

"Chen Xia Qingshu."

"See Your Majesty! Your Majesty Saint Ann!"

The two of them put their heads on the ground in their official uniforms, and remained frozen for a long time, but Emperor Hongsu didn't make a sound, and didn't ask them to excuse themselves.

"You guys are guilty!" The memorial fell on the desk, making a loud noise, and Emperor Hongsu was furious.

The two kneeling on the ground were startled, Qin Lu was the first to speak: "Last night, the assassin entered the Dudu's mansion and committed an attack. I was negligent in guarding against it. I am guilty!"

Xia Qingshu lowered his body even lower, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the assassination happened in the Central Army Yamen, this place is under the supervision of the minister, the responsibility for the crime should be borne by the minister, and it has nothing to do with the governor of Qin."

"Your Majesty, it's because of my poor management and mistakes in the night schedule that let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes, my lord..." Qin Lu wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Emperor Hongsu: "Okay, my lord It is announced that you are not here to see that you are guilty for each other. The assassin is still at large, do you have a solution?"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongsu recalled the meritorious service of the two, and couldn't bear to let them kneel on the ground for a long time, so he said: "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Lu and Xia Qingshu stood up.Qin Lu took a step forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have sent more people to search for the assassins, and have found some clues. They will be arrested and imprisoned soon!"

"There is not much time left until New Year's Eve. The danger is around. The people in the capital are panic-stricken. How can they live a good year? I will give you five days. Within five days, these two assassins must be caught and the Zhou family will be assassinated." Find out about the young master. If the five-day time limit has passed and the assassin still disappears, you two will be responsible for all the crimes!"

"Chen Qinlu takes orders!"

"Chen Xia Qingshu takes orders!"

"Especially you, General Xia." Emperor Hongsu changed the subject, and his sharp eyes shifted to Xia Qingshu: "I heard that the assassin who has already been caught is related to you?"

"Report, the assassin is a servant of the minister's mansion, and he is indeed related to the minister. But the assassination has absolutely nothing to do with the minister. There is no enmity between the minister and Mr. Zhou's family, and he is an official appointed by the court. How could he know how to break the law!"

"Since you say so, I will believe you for the time being. But within five days, if you can't find evidence to prove your innocence, then the people will discuss and the ministers will present, and I will not be able to protect you."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace! I will investigate this matter within five days!" Xia Qingshu bent down and bowed.

"You all step back." Emperor Hongsu pressed his brows wearily, and waved to the three people in the hall.

"My minister retire."

The three of them retreated, Xia Qingshu and Qin Lu went together, Zhou Louxing was still depressed, and left alone.

"Sister Qingshu, what should I do now?" Qin Lu said with a worried face, "Your Majesty is really angry."

Xia Qingshu put away the look of eagerly defending herself in the hall just now, and said indifferently: "Qin Dudu doesn't need to do anything, just go back to the mansion and rest, I will handle this matter with full authority."

"Go back to the mansion to rest?" Qin Lu was full of surprise: "The people who broke into the Dudu's mansion yesterday are all first-class masters in the world, and their lightness skills are amazing. I'm afraid they have left the capital at this time. How can you deal with them alone? Okay? And it’s clear that what happened to Qu Yong is aimed at you, so how can I stand by and watch?”
