Brocade tears

Meng Kuang took Sui'er and ran up the corridor on the third floor of the main building of Tianxiang Pavilion. Many guests on the third floor and the prostitutes accompanying them were all running downstairs in panic, squeezing around beside them.Meng Kuang kept pushing away the people in front of him, while Sui Er tried hard to keep up with her, shouting out of breath:

"Brother Thirteen! Where are we going?"

Hearing the words, Meng Kuang turned around and saw that Sui'er was staggering, being pushed and shoved in the crowd and about to fall, so he simply carried Sui'er on his back, and replied:

"Go to the backstage of the stage and find Bai Yuyin first. She is my second brother's fiancée! We must protect her! Taking this opportunity, it would be the best if we can get her out of Tianxiang Hall."

Sui'er was surprised, so the so-called "second brother's person" meant that Bai Yuyin was Meng's second brother's fiancée.It's just that this was too unexpected, no matter how clever Sui Er was, she couldn't have imagined it.

Before she had time to ask for more details, Sui'er lay on Meng Kuang's back, trying to hug her.With her on his back, Meng Kuang dashed down the stairs in three steps at a time, and at the end there was still more than half of the stairs left, Meng Kuang rushed down directly.Sui'er was so frightened that she closed her eyes, her whole heart jumped into her throat, and her soul went out of her body.This was really exciting, she had never jumped from such a high place before, but Meng Kuang carried her on his back as if nothing happened, and his movements were extremely fast and powerful.

They quickly rushed into the central courtyard stage, bypassed the stage and rushed directly to the backstage.At that time, the backstage was already in chaos, the actors had almost run away, but Bai Yuyin was nowhere to be seen.Meng Kuang was in a hurry. If Bai Yuyin wasn't in the backcourt, where would he be?

"Brother Thirteen, look! Is that Bai Yuyin?"

Sui'er suddenly pointed to the exit of the stage. From here, one could see the exit on the first floor. There were two very strong looking turtles dragging a woman out. The hairpin had fallen off, her black hair was in a mess, struggling and shouting, who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Yuyin?Meng Kuang cursed secretly, and immediately rushed out of the backcourt with Sui'er on his back, strode up to the two tortoises, kicked one of them in the back of the head, kicked him to the ground, and spun again. He raised his body and kicked another person in the abdomen, and then raised his foot and kicked the nose of that person in the front, and stepped on his face directly on the pillar next to him, and the person was directly stunned.

Sui'er felt dizzy for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the two men who snatched people were all overthrown by Meng Kuang.She really couldn't believe that she actually leaned on Meng Kuang's back and cooperated with her to complete this series of movements.

"Second sister-in-law! Are you alright!" Meng Kuang shouted, pulling the terrified Bai Yuyin up from the ground.

Bai Yuyin didn't have time to answer Meng Kuang, because four tortoises suddenly appeared from both sides, yelling for them to stop, and rushed up with sticks.

"Run!" Meng Kuang pulled Bai Yuyin and ran out. Bai Yuyin ran behind Meng Kuang with her skirt in her hand, but she still accidentally tripped over the skirt and fell to the ground.Meng Kuang hurriedly turned around to help her, but she struggled, her knee hit the ground in excruciating pain, and she couldn't stand up for a while.

After this delay, the four tortoises surrounded him and beat Meng Kuang with their sticks.Meng Kuang's eyes became colder, he put down the tassels, and quickly took out the scabbard on the back of his waist. The blade shone coldly in the night again. As for the opponent, even if she didn't kill her, the four of them would still be dead in a pool of blood.Meng Kuang shook off the remaining blood on the knife, put the knife back into its sheath, and raised his eyes to see a carriage approaching not far away, and the driver looked terrified.Probably frightened by the scene of her slaughtering all directions at the entrance of Tianxiang Hall, the coachman was about to flee from her side.Meng Kuang snorted coldly, jumped up, and kicked the coachman out of the carriage. After pulling the reins to rein in the carriage, the passengers in the carriage were very conscious and rolled down, saving her the effort of chasing them away.She helped Sui'er and Bai Yuyin into the carriage, and drove away quickly.

Bai Yuyin was really frightened, her complexion turned pale, and she shivered in the carriage.She was not frightened by the four tortoises, but by Meng Kuang's ferocious aura when he wielded the sword.Seeing her like this, Sui'er hurriedly embraced her and stroked her back.Only now did Bai Yuyin realize that Sui'er had actually appeared here, and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Brother Thirteen, where are we going now?" Sui'er comforted Bai Yuyin while asking Meng Kuang who was driving ahead.

"The White House can't go back. I'll take you back to Lingji Hall first. After reuniting with your family, we can discuss the next thing."

"What about Guo Dayou?" Sui'er asked again.

"Leave him alone, he will naturally find us." Meng Kuang said.

"What happened to that explosion? Was it Nanxincang?" Sui'er asked.

"It should be. I guess it might be the work of the escaped Nine Finger King remnants."

"Who are those people running on the roof?"

"I don't know, we have to wait for Guo Dayou to give us an answer."

Then Meng Kuang picked up the key point and told Sui'er everything that happened tonight, including the relationship between his second brother and Bai Yuyin.After Sui'er knew all this, she turned to Bai Yuyin and asked:

"What's going on, why did they arrest you?"

Bai Yuyin shook her head, obviously she didn't understand what was going on.

Sui'er didn't ask anymore, since the current information is limited, she can't make random guesses.Don't think about how to act next.For a while, they just comforted Bai Yuyin, and the carriage became quiet.Meng Kuang in front drove with peace of mind and returned across the city.On the way, a large number of patrol battalions and soldiers and horses can be seen gathering, rushing towards the flames of the explosion. Residents are looking around, and many of them have already climbed up to look far away, and half of the city is in panic.Nanxincang is very close to the imperial city, and not far to the west is the Donganmen of the imperial city.This matter may have alarmed the palace, and the situation has become more and more serious.

……

Guo Dayou rushed into the other building and ran down the stairs on the third floor. When he reached the second floor, he saw four people running down the other floor of the corridor. They just ran over the eaves people.They were all dressed in night clothes, fully armed and armed.They probably jumped from the eaves into the verandah on the second floor, then broke through the window and entered the annex.

Guo Dayou yelled: "Don't run!" He picked up the two maces on his waist and chased after him.

The four were extremely agile, and they ran in a very distinctive posture, bowing and throwing their arms behind them.Taking a closer look, they were wearing split-toe shoes, bound legs, and strange masks. This outfit made Guo Dayou's heart tremble.

Is it Japanese? !

The strength of Guo Dayou's ability is not tracking, and the speed of running is really not fast.It was very difficult for him to chase these four people, and they threw hidden weapons behind him to stop him, so when he chased them out of the annex, the four people had disappeared.

Panting out of breath, Guo Dayou stopped in his tracks, returned to the annex, used a handkerchief to pad his hands, collected the hidden weapons thrown by the Japanese men, and wrapped them in the handkerchief.This thing is called a shuriken, and it is a hidden weapon commonly used by the Japanese. These four people are probably the Anbu ninjas of the Japanese, and they really met their opponents.Japanese people appearing in Beijing... This is not a good sign.

He collected these hidden weapons and hurried to the atrium, which is directly under the bridge connecting the main building and the annex.When he arrived, there were already several people here. They were all the tortoises who did handyman in the Tianxiang Pavilion. At this time, they were so frightened around the Taihu Lake stone that their legs trembled and they were helpless.

Guo Dayou showed the token of Jinyiwei, and shouted: "Get out of the way! Jinyiwei investigates the case!" After finishing speaking, he climbed up to this Taihu stone, leaned into the corpse for a closer look, and frowned even tighter.

The deceased was the apparent boss of Tianxiang Pavilion——Wu Yong. This man was a slave of Lu Wang's family, and he could be regarded as a tyrant in the capital. He took advantage of Lu Wang's favor and occupied a lot of land in his hometown. He was a rich man. big landowner.Guo Dayou had a lot of contacts with him. This person talked about people and talked nonsense when he saw people. He was slick and slick.The establishment of surveillance darkrooms and other institutions in the Tianxiang Pavilion was the result of discussions between Bei Si and him.Whenever Beisi has a goal to investigate, it will use the Tianxiang Pavilion provided by Wu Yong, which is convenient and easy to use.There are not a few guys who were arrested for telling the truth after being drunk in the Tianxiang Pavilion.Bei Si can arrest people, Lu Wang and Wu Yong can take money, and both parties get what they deserve through cooperation.Both the emperor and King Lu knew about this matter, and they acquiesced in order to provide Jin Yiwei with a place to handle cases, so that Jin Yiwei can investigate more suspects and stabilize the foundation of the government.

But...tonight, this incident is very bad. Wu Yong was actually killed by the Japanese?Is this silence?How could Wu Yong associate with the Japanese?If the hat of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country is put on Lu Wang's head, the world will be in chaos.

Wait...how did this guy get up to the eaves of the Outer Covered Bridge?

Guo Dayou looked up. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, he seemed to be able to see a dark opening at the connection between the eaves of the outer corridor bridge and the main building, and there was actually a secret door there.

Guo Dayou hurriedly turned around and entered the main building, ran up to the third floor in one breath, searched room by room, and finally let him find a secret door in the third room at the west end, and there was a staircase leading to the upper floor. the mezzanine.He suddenly remembered that just now he discovered that there was an extra copper pipe inside the surveillance dark room, which he had never seen before. The copper pipe led to the third floor, which seemed to be installed recently.Could it be that someone installed that thing to monitor the mezzanine?

Holding the candlestick in one hand and the mace in the other, he entered the mezzanine. At this time, the mezzanine was almost empty, except for three long wooden boxes piled in the corner.There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke inside, Guo Dayou sniffed, went to open the top box, and was shocked to find that it was actually full of bird guns.

"Damn it!" His chest was burning with raging anger, his eyes were wide open, and the mace in his hand smashed to the floor under his feet, shaking up a thick layer of dust.

He opened two other boxes, one full of fire mines, and the other full of flowers/bombs.

Guo Dayou's mind was buzzing, this matter was too big, he didn't have enough authority to deal with it, so he had to report it to his superiors.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps going upstairs suddenly came, and Guo Dayou was startled. He hurriedly rushed to the stairs with his mace in hand to meet the enemy, but suddenly saw an old man crawling slowly with a pipe stick in his waist. come up.When he saw Guo Dayou, he laughed and said:

"Old Ba, what a coincidence to see you here."

Hearing this voice, Guo Dayou reacted suddenly, his heart relaxed, and he said:

"Fourth brother, it turned out to be you."

The visitor wiped his face, and the mask of an old man was pulled off, revealing an ordinary man's face underneath, with a beardless face, a pair of eyes with three white eyes, thick eyelids, and an unnatural smile on his face, which looked strange. At the age of 40, there is a mysterious and sinister atmosphere all over his body.

This person's name is Zhang Dongwei, he is a thousand households of the Fusi Inspection Office in Jinyiwei North Town, the fourth of the thirteen Taibao, nicknamed "Smiling Hades", also known as "Thousand-faced Hades". Even more skilled than Luo Xun, Jin Yiwei recognized him as the most unprovoked weird character.

Beizhen Fusi has a total of five thousand household offices. The inspection office is in charge of financial and tax verification, the patrol office is in charge of scouting, the archives office is in charge of official files, the prison office is in charge of prison arrests, and the punishment office is in charge of sentencing.

Luo Xun is a member of the thousand households of the patrol station, Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang are the deputy thousand households and hundred households respectively of the patrol station. They are mainly responsible for reconnaissance, espionage and assassination tasks of foreign enemies, and their activities are mostly in the field theater.The status of patrol stations is particularly important during foreign wars. The non-wartime duties are mainly to verify officials and arrest felons, especially when cross-border and long-distance pursuits are required.To a certain extent, the functions of the inspection office overlapped with the inspection office and prison management office, and its status in non-wartime was slightly inferior to that of the inspection office, occupying the second place in Beizhen Fusi.

The inspection office is not only an old enemy of the inspection office, but also an old buddy of the inspection office. They fight with each other, but they also cooperate seamlessly.The fourth master Zhang Dongwei has been sitting in the seat of Qianhu in the inspection office for eight years, and the number of corrupt officials in his hands is countless.This person is really unpredictable, so much so that even the emperor is a little afraid of him, wanting to use him but also a little afraid of him.And Luo Xun seems more reliable and kind, so the emperor prefers to use people under Luo Xun's subordinates to do things. He often bypasses the inspection office for things outside his authority, and let the inspection office investigate. .Luo Sigong, the new commander of Jinyiwei, also has some disbelief in Zhang Dongwei, and also trusts Luo Xun even more.Therefore, in the past year, the status of the inspection office has surpassed that of the inspection office.But Zhang Dongwei didn't have any intention of fighting for power, he just focused on doing his own business, and no one could figure out what he was planning.

Now that he appeared here in disguise, he presumably has been involved in this arms smuggling case for some time.He walked up to the mezzanine and said to Guo Dayou:

"Oh, it's all right now. I thought it was time to close the net tonight, but they blew it up themselves."

"Fourth brother, what's going on? So the explosion in Nanxincang is related to the arms smuggling here?" Guo Dayou was at a loss.

"The Nanxincang incident was not caused by the Japanese pirates here, but when Nanxincang was blown up, these guys thought that the matter was exposed, and they blew up inside themselves, that's what happened." Zhang Dongwei touched his chin and said.

"Wu Yong, this guy actually knows Japanese? Where is King Lu..."

"Hey, old man, don't talk nonsense. King Lu doesn't know about this, it's Wu Yong who has turned his back on himself."

"This... he actually has such guts?"

"Of course there are people behind him, and the amount of this batch of arms is not small. I have been watching for several days. This batch of arms was transported here and hidden before I watched here. They will take the arms from here every night for the past few days. A small door on the north courtyard wall was secretly transported out of the city by transporting sand and gravel, and no one would check. They were very cautious and chose the time when it was just opened every night, when the noise was the most noisy, and cars came and went. In the past, there were footsteps and opera singing everywhere in the main building, and no one would pay attention at all.”

"Where is the firearms coming? Could it be the Shenji Camp..." Guo Dayou had a bad premonition.

Zhang Dongwei made a gesture, which meant to make Guo Dayou calm down and said:

"You and I can't take care of this case. Now those Japanese people have escaped, but they must still be in the city. We must immediately raid the whole city to scrape out all the filth hidden in the city's internal organs, and cut the mess quickly. The old man Eight, you follow me to report to our department immediately, without delay!"

"it is good!"
