The first work of the imperial prison

At noon, the imperial mausoleum.

"kneel--"

The heavy snow fell, and all the officials were silent. Everyone scattered under the altar from top to bottom, from near to far, and sang and drank with the officials, kowtowed and worshiped.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Emperor Yu'an stood in the center of the altar, stretching out his hand to shake incense, offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

Concubine You Tai was standing not far from the right, and following the words of Zhu Wen, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, expressing her grief and prayers appropriately.

Under the long wind and snow, the three-legged golden tripod rose with purple smoke, and the jade chime slammed lightly.

"boom--"

Less than halfway through the ceremony, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, the sight was blurred by heavy snow, and the reason was unclear. All the officials were frightened in their hearts, what happened?Does anyone dare to make trouble in such a day!

Fu Lixing's eyes trembled, and he quickly confirmed the safety of his mother, and something really happened!Qiu Xunqing really didn't lie to him!

Emperor Yu'an in the center of the altar was very calm, as if he didn't hear such a loud voice, he continued to carry out the ceremony gracefully and calmly. The ceremony officials saw that the emperor was so stable, and they dared not stop. They continued to sing the ceremony. What else can I say?Of course, it is also good, and the process continues——

Only the commander of Jin Yiwei standing on the left side of the emperor moved. He quickly withdrew from the circle and flew to the outside of the circle without a trace, attracting the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei. I don't know what he said, and the team quickly dispersed , away towards the distance.

The wind was too loud, the snow was too dense, and the officials couldn't see what happened in the distance, and the sound was indistinct and unclear, but after waiting for a long time, there was no loud noise like before, and no one rushed here Come.

So... nothing to be afraid of?

Two quarters of an hour later, when the ceremony was halfway through, the Son of Heaven got off the altar and walked alone to the hut in front of the imperial mausoleum to pay respects to the ancestors. Only then did everyone realize that nothing seemed to have happened.

The day of the festival was arranged a long time ago. The imperial mausoleum is in the suburbs of Beijing, not too far away. Get up early, take a break at noon, and return to the city as a whole team at the end of the day. The layout of the defensive circle is clearly a signal to retreat with vigilance and not to stay too long.

After thinking about it more carefully, it was even worse, the smell of blood was smelled in the nose, that smelled of iron, which was ominous, the smell of blood.

The wind and snow covered their sight and blurred their hearing, but the taste was unmistakable, something really happened outside!

This idea became [-]% sure when Qiu Yiqing rode back on horseback.This commander walked like a cloud, his lapels were stained with blood, his eyes were stern, and his whole body was soaked with the murderous aura that can only be seen after being stained with blood. It wasn't just after killing someone, it was something!

Wait, no, why is Mr. Dongchang also gloomy and unhappy?

Everyone doesn't understand, but dare not ask, meddling in other people's business and knowing too much is not a good thing in this court...Anyway, as long as you are safe.

R&F was indeed very upset. After arriving outside the imperial concubine You's carriage, after saluting, he was called in, and then quickly reported what happened just now: "Madam, this surnamed Qiu is bad! What did you say to return our favor? Give it to me!" The information is not good, it is about the safety of the empress, our family dare not take it seriously, we made various arrangements to be on guard, and the result was an accident, but the accident was not aimed at the empress, it was aimed at the entire festival..."

"It doesn't seem to be aimed at the festival. These people seem to be messing around casually. There are a lot of people. They seem to have been prepared for a long time, but they are also a mob. The surnamed Qiu will go by himself. It will not take an hour to solve everything, but our people are also there. , Can’t just ignore it? What should we do if people don’t respond to the signal and join us in front of the emperor?”

As R&F spoke, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

Ever since the late emperor left, their Dongchang had kept their tails between their legs. Although they were protected by the imperial concubine, no one dared to disrespect them, but the number of people coming in in the past two years has really decreased, and the manpower has become more and more tense. I calculated and folded these!Why doesn't he feel distressed!The one surnamed Qiu just pretended to say that the emperor will reward him, and the rewards are useless, the empress is short of money!What is missing is people!

And it's none of their business at all, they could have watched the fun from the sidelines, if it wasn't for the guy surnamed Qiu who made up such a nonsense, which led him to believe him, increased deployment and brought a lot of people, how could he be taken advantage of ?

Those with the surname of Qiu are really good at calculating. If you kill them, please give them rewards that are neither salty nor light.

"Your Majesty...we have been used as swords..."

Fu Lixing was so angry that he hunted geese all day long, and the geese pecked at his eyes, this time he was careless!

Concubine You Taigui snorted: "Stupid. You said it all, this group of people making noise is not directed at this side, but which side is it directed at?"

Fu Lixing rolled his eyes, suddenly realized, and looked in the direction of the capital: "Could it be the one in the palace?"

It would be great if it was aimed at the Empress Dowager!In the future, the harem will not be as big as them!

"stupid!"

Concubine You took tea and splashed Fu Lixing's face: "Is this what we should talk about now? You already knew that Qiu Yiqing held down a Wala man on the street. I think this is strange, most likely Related, those things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet in the early years...are not all hidden dangers?"

Fulixing didn't dare to wipe his face, turned his head and got out of the car: "The villain will do it right away!"

Don't mention it, he almost forgot, this is really a big event, once the emperor and the courtiers, don't look at the empress dowager who started to chant Buddha?They want to live well in the palace. It is obviously not enough to rely on the late emperor's last decree. They have no credit. Anyone who dares to borrow, I don't know how many hidden dangers have been left behind, others will be pigtails, even if the matter this time has nothing to do with me, it is really going to be discovered that something is involved...

Bah, I have to make it clear quickly!Absolutely must not be involved!

In the small room in front of the imperial mausoleum, the emperor closed his eyes and sat quietly in front of the late emperor. The old eunuch Gao Cang came in lightly with a food box and placed the food on the small table.

"Commander Qiu reported that the small thieves on the outskirts have been cleared, but the chaos in the city has not yet been settled. He didn't have time to come to meet the emperor, so he took people back first."

"Yeah. Tell the imperial guards to leave for Beijing in half an hour."

"Yes."

The old eunuch retreated.

Emperor Yu'an picked up the chopsticks, glanced at the dishes on the table, landed on the tablet of the first emperor, and suddenly smiled.

"I have today, and I really want to thank my father for the meal. You see, now I can have whatever I want, unlike you—"

In front of the memorial tablet of the first emperor, according to the rules, offering fruits and vegetables, no matter how rich the imperial supply is, it is still cold.

Some people, however, vividly interpret the four words 'vegetarian meal in a corpse' with their lives.

……

Qiu Yiqing rode on the horse and galloped all the way, pointing directly at the capital.

Others have laid out such a big game, so they will spare no effort, and they can do as much as they can. The main goal must be successful, and other things must be worked hard by the way. What if it succeeds?

The crisis he encountered was real. There were indeed people making up their minds at the imperial mausoleum, and there was indeed a certain danger around the emperor and Concubine You, which had to be resolved.Fortunately, the other party hid too deeply and for too long. Although he didn't have time to catch people in advance, it was not difficult to smash them on the spot. Secretary... someone is waiting for him there, he must hurry, hurry, hurry!

In the hunting wind, in the bitter snow, Qiu Yiqing held the rein with one hand, leaned slightly, leaned over the horse's back, hid the sword's edge in his eyebrows, and had sharp eyes, and ran with all his life, these people were there!

Beizhen Fusi, Ye Baiting made a big deal, not only sacrificed the little bell, but asked Qin Gentian to help him attract firepower on the wall, and asked Shi Mi to play the piano at the gate of the prison, and Xiang Zi'an was not idle inside. I was doing various investigations according to his instructions, but the other party hid very deeply in the imperial prison, and he didn't move at all. At most, he found a few secret passages, but others don't use them. What can you do?Well done today, someone danced!

So what are you waiting for?Of course, it is to greet the people below, and block it together!

"Let me guard it all! See who comes over, hold it down immediately!"

"Don't try to be narrow-minded," Xiang Zi'an glanced around, "look at the posture outside, can you beat Jin Yiwei, or can you withstand the young master's tricks? Or are you not afraid of death, and you can handle the commander?" The commander is out now, no time, no time, wait for him to come back—what do you think will happen to the person who escaped from prison at his hands?"

The atmosphere in the prison was stagnant.

Most of the people here have experienced the scene when Qiu Yiqing took office. It was done with blood and blood. Not to mention the crime, the entire Beizhen Fusi is under his control. Who would dare to kill him?

Xiang Zi'an lit up the bell on her wrist: "It's better than this, isn't it?"

As he shook it, he sighed in his heart that it was a pity, this thing was borrowed, and he had to return it later, it would be nice if he had a chance to wear it.

"I know that some of you are innocent, and you can look forward to this road. Some of you were wronged, and it's not impossible to overturn the case—Young master's ability, you underestimate it? Opportunities to get ahead in prison are not good. Many, don't miss it today, I will do it well!"

"Not bad!"

"Listen to the young master!"

"Just look at it!"

A bunch of prisoners were either intimidated or coaxed, and most of them who were able to come in here had no lack of brains. Xiang Zi'an had already figured out the way, how could they not know what to do?

One is counted as one, everyone act, if there is anyone who escaped from prison or behaves badly, hold it down immediately!

Not to mention the moving ones, even Xuanfeng ran out, it can't knives or swords, it can't line up with the enemy, but it runs fast, it specializes in biting the butt after going around, you find that it is Sneak attack, get angry and want to chop, they run on four legs much faster than you, if you chase them again, they make two barks and slaps, and a bunch of dogs run out from behind, all of them energetic, with sharp ears Pointy, dark brown short hair, you can tell which is which when you run?

The dog general ran away, his posture called a chic look, that called a disdain——

You idiot, do you think there is only one General Dog?Since he is a general, there must be thousands of troops behind him!

"Wooooooooooooow!"

bite him!Kill him!

It was windy and snowy, the people and dogs running, couldn't tell where the bells were ringing, and the impassioned "Lanling King Entering the Battle Song", the Fusi of Beizhen was very lively, and Ye Baiting's side finally arrived At the critical moment, when the information was asked, the person failed to stabilize and fell from the top of the tower wall.

"Woo-woof!"

When the dog saw it, he couldn't be too anxious. He shot out like an arrow off the string, and his paws were about to fly. Among thousands of troops, he came straight to him. He ran as fast as he could. How firm and firm the eyes must be!

It's getting closer, it's getting closer...now!

Gouzi kicked hard on the ground with his hind legs, leaped vertically, and moved his body into the air, just to catch the young master!

"Wang?"

It's a pity that there is no cushion.Gouzi flew into the air and landed again, without even touching the corner of the young master's clothes. Turning his head to see, Qiu Yiqing rode his horse and passed by, holding the young master firmly.

Unwillingly, the dog chased him for two steps, but he had four legs. He just couldn't run as fast as a horse...

"Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

The dog growled angrily.

Shen Jiang whistled and recalled General Dog with a sympathetic face: "Forget it, he has horses and mounts, what do you have?"

"Woof!" Gouzi's eyes were fierce.

Shen Jiang seemed to understand: "Oh yes, you have a small car, but why didn't you bring it out today?"

"Ugh-"

"Good job."

Shen Jiang rubbed Gouzi's head: "Okay, the work outside is almost over, let's go back with your hands."

The dog barked twice, led the group of dogs to disperse, and ran back to Beizhen Fusi.

Fate is different for the same person, if he falls from a high wall, Young Master Jiao will be picked up and hugged, but Zhou Ping can't do it, he falls to the ground with a 'slap' and falls hard, not to mention taking the opportunity to escape, he can't even get up.

Letting the snowflakes fall on his face, he gasped, looked at the direction Ye Baiting was going away, and murmured: "I'm a man...I'm a man...I'm right!"

Shen Jiang picked him up and sneered, "Tsk, you can't tell the truth from the lie, no wonder it's easy to lie."

Zhou Ping bit his lips to bleed: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? I lied to you," Shen Jiang said with a particularly bad smile on his face, "Do you know what a good job is? It's cheating and abducting, cooperating with officials to coax a fraudulent confession, and getting the suspect's words out!"

He forgot what Young Master Jiao said in the original words, anyway, it meant this: "It's just a few words to coax you to make you behave, it's just a way to ask for a confession, do you really believe it?"

"No, it's impossible! You can't lie to me like that!"

"Why can't you? You killed so many people. If you didn't kill you on the spot, it would be light. You can't do this, you Jade Emperor! Go, go back to your cell, and enjoy the future life, it's very cool -"

……

For a moment, Ye Baiting was in a trance, his vision was overwhelmed, the cold wind poured into his clothes, and the cold snowflakes fell on his cheeks. The world suddenly became silent, and his back suddenly hit a hard chest.

The big hands around the waist were very hot, and the horse under him was running very fast, and his breath was as tense as a bowstring, and then instantly relaxed.

"hug me."

The man's voice was low, blending into the wind, a little distant, Ye Baiting didn't react.

"Tighten up."

It seemed to take too long, the man had no choice but to take his hand, put it on his waist, and pressed his head with his big hand: "Don't be afraid."

The corner of the cloak slipped by the ear, Ye Baiting saw Qiu Yiqing free his hands through the gap, and he pulled out a feathered arrow from the quiver on his back, and placed it on the bowstring, without much aiming, he let go of the arrow, With a sound of 'pa', it was shot through the air, and it landed on the left chest of a person behind, blood splashed immediately, and the person fell to the ground and died.

Don't be too familiar with this face...

"Peng Xiangming?"

It seems that the direction this person aimed at just now was not Qiu Yiqing, but him...Peng Xiangming wanted to fish in troubled waters and kill him?

"The fish behind him has been caught, so he is useless." After killing someone with a green face of hatred, he still took the time to explain.

Ye Baiting: ...

He knew that Qiu Yiqing would come back, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon. It should be later in the plan. Beizhen Fusi has to carry most of it by himself, so...

"What happened outside...?"

Qiu Yiqing has already skillfully switched weapons, held the Xiuchun knife again, and pressed his head again: "Be good, and save me some trouble."

Ye Baiting didn't speak any more, the vision in front of him shook violently, following Qiu Xunqing's forceful charge, blood spattered everywhere, and he forcibly cleared a path——

"Team A, ten people, five steps to the east! Team B, two, form a wedge! Spread the left and right wings, surround and outflank!"

Following Qiu Suqing's order, Jin Yiwei responded quickly, and the atmosphere changed from the previous turmoil to one that was commanded and well-trained in an instant. When the steel division condensed into a group, what else would the invaders have to survive?

The battlefield is almost overwhelmingly transformed.

Ye Baiting was amazed, is this the legendary art of war?Amazing……

But a waste like him can't do anything, even if his two paws don't hold Qiu Yiqing's waist tightly, he will fall off the horse, missing an arm and breaking a leg.

"Wow--"

"Brilliant!"

"The commander is amazing!"

"Did you see it? Did you see it? Commanders are different! Who would dare to make a mistake!"

The people in the periphery stopped poking around and rushed out, raising their hands and cheering.

In the crowd, Jin Shicheng wrapped himself in a thick padded jacket, and exhaled... My mother, did he finally do something good this time?He is really innocent, he doesn't want to get into trouble!

The fire on the other side of the wall was also extinguished. The fire masters were all ashamed, and they were not in any mood. After the work was over, they could breathe a sigh of relief. Only Sun Pengyun was still looking for Li Xuanmo: "Where is the document? Where did you go?"

He had been busy fighting the fire just now, and he didn't pay attention to the movement around him at all. Still, a soldier from Jin Yiwei replied, saying that he was the murderer in this case and had already been captured.

Sun Pengyun was stunned for a moment: "He, is he the murderer?"

Such an honest and stable person...has done such a cruel thing!

The enemy quickly retreated, and those who hadn't been caught for the time being, shot cold arrows in the dark, and there were two that shot at the common people and the fire masters——

Qiu Yiqing raised his hand and shot two consecutive arrows, directly knocking these two cold arrows into the air!

"Wow - the commander is amazing!"

The praise of the people is even louder.

The commander came back, the command was determined, and the morale was greatly shaken. The Jinyi guards immediately stabilized the situation and cleaned up the scene. All the enemies were killed and caught, and there was no more trouble!

Qiu Xunqing: "Take them all back and interrogate them one by one!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei echoed, Qiu Yiqing had at least brought Ye Baiting back to the courtyard.

"Why don't you talk?" Qiu Yiqing pressed Ye Baiting's waist and did a little examination, "Where does it hurt?"

Ye Baiting shook his head: "No."

Is that fear?

Qiu Xunqing patted him on the back lightly: "It's all right, don't be afraid."

"Wang!"

General Dog was still unconvinced, he dug out his little car from nowhere, grabbed it with his mouth, and came up to him, as if he was urging Ye Baiting to sit on it.

"But the leg hurts?" Qiu Yiqing dismounted as if he didn't see the dog, and carried Ye Baiting down, "This envoy will take you back to the house."

Shen Jiang also ran over at this time, sweating all over his head: "What's the matter? Is there any injury? Leg injury?"

Ye Baiting: ...

"Maybe the wall was a little high just now, and I was scared, and my legs were a little numb."

On the horse, he just pressed his leg lightly, the movement was very small, Qiu Yiqing was shooting people with an arrow at that time, it was impossible to see...

"Hmm." Qiu Yiqing had already hugged him and passed Shen Jiang.

There is one person and one dog in the courtyard, sympathizing with each other.

Gou Zi rushed to Shen Jiang barking, as if he was disgusted, he wanted you to be useful to a hundred households, so why not do it!

Shen Jiang looked at Gou Zi pitifully, and the little car behind it, the little car has hair, and you don't have two hands, so you can hug people!

Qiu Yiqing's legs were very long, and he took big strides, and quickly sent Ye Baiting to the Nuan Pavilion: "You take a rest."

"Then you—" Ye Baiting looked at him, the blackness in the man's eyes became more intense, "Shouldn't you be resting?"

Qiu Yiqing pressed his head, then turned and left: "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Ye Baiting: ...

He touched his head in a daze: "...I'm not a puppy."

……

The outside was tidied up, the whole team was tidied up, after a while, there were footsteps at the door, Ye Baiting saw that it was Shen Jiang, escorting Li Xuanmo over, and there was Qiu Yiqing beside him.

Shen Jiang looked angry, very angry: "At first, I thought about arresting him first, and we can ask about the case later. Brothers are very tired, but this person has taken poison and is about to die!"

Ye Baiting lowered his eyes.

He wasn't surprised. The principal culprit in this case was so aggressive and he was planning a major event. If he had no way out, he would probably become more extreme. Even if he didn't want to die, others would silence him. That's why...he wanted to force Zhou Ping so much.

"Don't stand still, young master, why don't you ask me first?" Shen Jiang threw him to the ground.

Li Xuanmo didn't stop, there was blood on the corner of his lips, and his lips were slightly blue, but he didn't die immediately, and he could still say a few words.

Ye Baiting looked at the person, but remained silent.

When Shen Jiang was about to urge him again, he saw the face of the commander, and immediately didn't dare to urge him.

"Do you want to ask me?" Ye Baiting thought for a while, looked at the people on the ground, his eyes flickered slightly, "How about we exchange? Tell me the truth, and I'll give you an answer."

Li Xuanmo didn't speak.

Ye Baiting was not in a hurry, waited for a while, and directly called Shen Jiang by name: "I don't have anything to ask? Then please ask Shen Baihu to pull him out and deal with it."

Shen Jiang: ...

ah?Really want to kill?He is the mastermind and knows the most!

But Young Master Jiao spoke, and the commander didn't stop, he could only reach out to pick up Li Xuanmo——

Seeing that his fingers touched the collar, Li Xuanmo suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Ye Baiting smiled: "Oh? Is there anything you want to ask?"

Li Xuanmo was expressionless, but until now, he still couldn't help it. As smart as him, of course he knew that he had fallen into someone else's trap. Others knew that he did it, but they just kept it from being caught, but he still didn't understand——

"Why me? You don't have evidence, you shouldn't be sure..."

Ye Baiting didn't answer and asked instead: "What do I want to tell the truth?"

Li Xuanmo's eyes flickered: "Green snakes...their organization has marks..."

"Lying." Ye Baiting sneered, "Please ask Shen Baihu to drag him out and drain the blood before killing him."

Li Xuanmo panicked immediately: "It's a blue snake! The Wala people have a secret organization in Dazhao called Lan Mei!"

This time it matched Zhou Ping's confession.

Ye Baiting also calmly opened his mouth: "There is a dangerous personality in J, and the level of narcissism is beyond imagination. Jin Yiwei has checked it out. You are an only child. You lived in a wealthy family when you were young. You have never had a hard life. You have been spoiled by your family since childhood. , your family will say yes to whatever you do, and they will praise you no matter what you do. When you were a child, you were a brat, but when you grow up, you are a narcissist. I can write two sour poems, but I never like to be down-to-earth, but whenever I encounter a little setback, it will be dusty, my talents will not be appreciated, and it is because others do not appreciate you and do not hold all the good things in front of you."

"You think you are the smartest person in the world, and no one deserves to be your friend. You like to show off, recruit brothers, and help them with ideas. This is what you are most proud of. You will even be late on purpose at parties. , let them always pay attention to you - but in fact, those things you do, the so-called "brilliant ideas", are not special talents, others are just busy with other things and have no time to think about them. If you really think about it, it may not be better than yours. Difference."

"Everything you do is shouting to the outside world—see me, see me quickly, why don't you look at me! Don't look? I'll let you all see how awesome you are."

"boom--"

"Have you seen it? You can't see my goodness, others have seen it, do you regret it?"

Ye Baiting imitated Lei Huodan's movements and stared at Li Xuanhei: "As for Lei Huodan, you think you are very beautiful and capable. Is it the Lanmei Organization? In your heart, these people agree that your wealth is not important. It's more important for them to see you and have you in their eyes, isn't it?"

Li Xuanmo was speechless for a long time: "Just... this?"

Based on this little conjecture, you are sure that the mastermind is me?He didn't understand very much.

"Isn't that enough?" Ye Baiting frowned in thought, as if she didn't understand it better than he did. There's nothing she couldn't understand about such a simple matter, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm different from Jin Yiwei. They rely on evidence to solve cases. I don't Same, as long as you identify what kind of dangerous personality you are."

"You... can't..."

There can't be such a smart person on J!Li Xuanmo vomited blood with a 'poof': "You...you are so powerful, why are you staying here?"

Ye Baiting smiled brightly and meaningfully, "Of course it's because... I'm just a prisoner."

Li Xuanmo's throat choked again: "Why can't it be Fire Master Sun Pengyun? According to what you said, he also fits the bill!"

"So he is the second scapegoat you prepared for yourself, right?" Ye Baiting tapped his fingertips on the table, "This is the second question, so where is the information I want?"

Li Xuanmo was very angry, but he couldn't lie, so he gave him a name: "Li Xiaoliang, their contact person outside, but you can't catch him..."

"Then you don't need to worry about it," Ye Baiting smiled even wider, and said back to Sun Pengyun, "You really put a lot of thought into choosing it. Your captain is very similar to you in many aspects, such as leadership ability, growth process, work location, and even some experiences. , and some unpopular points, but there is no way, who told you to sell yourself?"

"Myself?"

Ye Baiting nodded with a smile: "Yes, the more you think about it, the more careful you do things. You have written down all the details of Sun Pengyun's entry and exit from the fire, including the laceration of his tiger's mouth—Sun Pengyun is reckless and doesn't like restraint. The wound on the tiger's mouth is not willing to be bandaged at all, so the wound heals very slowly. Our commander has specially observed that on the day after the deceased was killed, his wound grew well and nothing happened, but if he participated in moving Throwing corpses requires a lot of effort, judging from the degree of healing of the wound, there will definitely be lacerations."

"Details determine success or failure, Li Xuanmo, you still can't do it, you just aren't smart enough."

"No, it's impossible!"

"Is there anything else you want to know? Let's continue," Ye Baiting clapped his palms and smiled at Yan Yan, "I'm in a good mood today, and I'm showing my love!"
