Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 599 Out of Control (Three-in-one plus extra for JJM leader)

The expensive and high-quality drugs were just poured out in an ordinary way using a flour bag.

There was only a light breeze today, which was perfect for spreading the sleeping pills that Luo Cheng'an had carefully prepared more evenly.

Xiaonai and Hanayin had already rushed to the vicinity of the car. They saw a big man holding an iron pestle hitting their master twice in a row, almost smashing his body to pieces.

They also saw a woman swinging a sword at her master. In desperation, Xiaonai and Kanon threw a "Toriko" almost at the same time.

This is a smoke egg, and because it is shaped like a chicken egg, it is named "bird's egg".

"Bang! Bang!"

Two "Toriko" bombs exploded one after another, and thick smoke immediately rose up. Mixed with the smoke thrown by Yan Qingyu, the scene was suddenly filled with fog.

"Huh? Smoke!"

Baili Bing was the first to be hit, and immediately felt dizzy.

Baili Bing immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly stuffed something like an olive into his mouth. At the same time, he threw two olives at Yue Zangfeng and Zou Yi, and shouted in a low voice: "Hold on."

As soon as Yue Zangfeng and Zou Yi took it in their hands, the smoke spread over them. They felt dizzy and quickly caught the thing thrown by Baili Bing as they were told. They immediately regained consciousness.

Baili Bing, Shangguan Mingyue, and Shangguan Luo, brother and sister, are all members of the "Jisitang".

Before the Northern Sect members of the "Jisitang" split, the group of people who went to Western Xia were also active in the north.

It was at that time that the young Baili Bing obtained the prescription for neutralizing the drug from his uncle the pharmacist.

The ingredients of the drugs are similar, and the antidote made using the prescription Uncle Luo gave her can basically dissolve all the drugs.

The Baili family and the Luo family have a good relationship, and the two families had even intermarried two generations ago.

Luo Cheng'an liked his little niece Baili Bing very much, so he gave her this prescription.

For a girl like Baili Bing, this is an extra layer of protection when she is traveling around the world.

But I didn't expect that it would be used at this moment.

After Baili Bing took the antidote, his mind became clear.

At this time, Yang Yuan inhaled the smoke, and his movements immediately became slow. His vision was also affected by "Toriko", and he couldn't see people clearly because of the fog.

Baili Bing immediately leaned forward, stuck to the shackles, and slapped Yang Yuan on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious. He then dragged him to the bridge railing and jumped down.

Being in the air, she shouted "Retreat!"

"Let him go!"

Fei Yuye was also dizzy at this time, but when she saw Yang Yuan being abducted, she immediately staggered to the bridge railing.

She tried hard to grab, but failed to catch Baili Bing. Instead, she felt dizzy and fell forward, falling off the bridge railing.

There was a small boat parked under the bridge, and Baili Bing's men were waiting there to pick them up.

There was a row of sacks on the boat, which looked like a flat-bottomed boat for transporting goods, and was moored under the bridge to rest.

But the sack was actually filled with soft grass. Baili Bing lifted Yang Yuan and they both fell on the sack.

Just as Baili Bing was about to give the order to start the boat, another figure fell down and hit the sack in front of Baili Bing's feet with a "bang".

Baili Bing was startled and was about to thrust the sword in his hand when he saw Fei Yuye trying to sit up, swaying a bit, falling on her back, and fainting.

Baili Bing breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Go, hurry up!"

There was a boatman at the bow and stern of the boat, one rowing the boat and the other paddling the boat. They pushed the boat very fast along the river towards the West Lake outside Fengyu Gate.

This scene was seen by the "Blood Pagoda" boat that was parked under the bridge to pick it up.

However, the "Blood Pagoda"'s reception personnel did not know who had landed on the boat, and due to this delay, they were unable to catch up with Baili Bing's boat.

Yue Zangfeng and Zou Yi heard Baili Bing's shout and knew that she had succeeded, so they rushed out immediately.

They gulped the antidote in their mouths and rushed towards Dawazi together.

Even though the police officers and detectives outside were not affected by the drugs, they were unable to stop the two masters, and they took the opportunity to escape.

Yao Kun (Puyang Wen) was also in the center of where the drugs were scattered, so he was the first to be infected.

He didn't have Bai Li Bing's antidote, so when he realized something was wrong, he immediately staggered out, panting like a drunk and yelling, "Oh no, the smoke... is poisonous..."

Gong Jinquan (answered no) saw that the situation was hopeless and shouted angrily: "Retreat immediately!"

Seeing Pu Yangwen staggering towards him, Dabuye's eyes became fierce and he shouted in a deep voice: "Old Pu, you go first!"

Da Bu Ye swung his hand, and the knife in his hand spun into a wheel and chopped straight towards Puyang Wen.

Da Bu also knew that Pu Yangwen was wearing soft armor like him, so the knife went straight to Pu Yangwen's head.

Pu Yangwen was shocked and angry, and instinctively swung the iron pestle to meet the oncoming steel knife.

However, after being drugged, his reaction was greatly slowed down, and the knife hit him right in the face with a "puff" sound, cutting deeply into him.

He raised the iron pestle to the grid position only after the steel knife hit his face.

Pu Yangwen opened his eyes wide and fell on his back with a look of reluctance.

He chopped with his sword and turned away.

He also felt reluctant to part with Pu Yangwen.

But Pu Yangwen seemed to be drunk, and he couldn't leave even if he was taken with him.

As one of the core members of the Guardians, Puyang Wen knows a lot about the "Guardians" plan.

Therefore, he must not fall into the hands of the Song people.

If the answer is no, then the only option is to kill and silence the witness.

Fujiwara no Himeka's straight sword is extremely fierce.

She held the sword in both hands, and her sword moves were simple, direct, and fast. She killed one person every three steps, leaving no trace, and had already rushed to the side of the prison van.

At this time, smoke and smoke screens exploded above her head one after another. Fujiwara Himeka inhaled them in one breath, and her feet suddenly slipped. The sword in her hand missed the target, and she was almost stabbed through by a constable who was coming from the opposite side with a knife.

Xiaonai and Huayin arrived in time. The "hand hook" in Xiaonai's hand was like a sharp wolf claw. It scratched the constable's forehead and slid all the way to his jaw, leaving four deep bloody grooves, tearing his skin and flesh, and blinding his eyes.

Hanane supported Himeka in time and shouted, "Let's go!"

Using poison and drugs is part of the ninja's training. They are good at developing resistance to common poisons and developing antidotes to some poisons.

Although the antidote used by Xiaonai and the others was not quite effective against the drug prepared by Luo Chengan, they had a certain drug resistance themselves, and after using the homemade antidote, they were not affected too much, so they still had enough energy to escape.

Now seeing that their master had been kidnapped by that evil woman, the people at the bridgehead had gone crazy and couldn't tell friend from foe. Xiaonai and Kanon could only help up Fujiwara Himeka who had been hit, and quickly leave the scene.

The groups of people who had just rushed towards Yang Yuan, after Yang Yuan was abducted, all turned into people who broke through and escaped. How could the constables and officials stop them?

After Yan Qingyu threw out the drug, he was about to rush towards the prison van, but unexpectedly he saw two or three figures in the drug mist that were not affected by the drug at all.

They were still agile and quickly kidnapped Yang Yuan, then left the scene via a small boat under the bridge.

This……

Luo Cheng'an was also shocked. Although they were short in manpower, he was a pharmacist.

Therefore, he thought that today's operation would be foolproof. Who could have expected that there would be so many people who wanted to rob and kill Yang Yuan.

He never expected that there was someone who was completely immune to his drugs.

When he came to his senses, Yang Yuan had been abducted, and those who were under the influence of his drugs were fleeing in all directions.

"Let's go!" Luo Cheng'an, who had just made a quick decision, made a quick decision again. He reached out and pulled Yan Qingyu, then turned around and left.

Several constables who were escorting the prison van in front rushed over to meet the two men. Seeing that they were acting suspiciously, they immediately chased after them.

Luo Cheng'an flicked his sleeves and another shower of drugs sprayed out.

He and Yan Qingyu were running towards the wind, and as soon as the drug was sprinkled, a group of "drunkards" immediately appeared staggering behind them, and finally fell down on the embankment one after another, unconscious.

……

In the second hall of Lin'an Prefecture, Liu Yiguan, Teng Teng and Wu Yichen were chatting.

However, the three of them had something on their minds, and there were not many topics they could think of. As they chatted, they all fell silent.

Liu Yiguan looked at the sky and secretly estimated the time. His people should have succeeded, right?
By creating chaos with a few poisoned arrows, the escort in the car took the opportunity to attack. It didn't matter if the arrows didn't hit Yang Yuan, because after he was killed, the confidant in charge of the escort would naturally fake the wounds of the poisoned arrows on Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan was killed by the "Jin people". Was it a murder to silence him or a failure to save him?
It doesn't matter anymore.

A dead person cannot change his confession, and his "ironclad evidence" will prove Yang Yuan's crime of treason.

Of course, there are reasons to deny that Yang Yuan collaborated with the enemy.

Tang Canzheng once told him that Yang Yuan also made a great contribution to the success of Wanyan Luti and Wanyan Dari's rebellion.

But who says that the "Jin" mentioned by Yang Yuantong must be Wanyan Liang's Jin Kingdom?

If he had been won over and subdued by Wanyan Luti, and he was in contact with the "New Jin", wouldn't that make sense?

He Qiqi and others were secret spies of the Jin Dynasty who had been lurking in the Song Dynasty long before the Jin Dynasty split. Wanyan Luti occupied Shangjing and inherited part of the Jin Dynasty's resources, and thus successfully took over this part of the power lurking in the Song Dynasty. Does this make sense?
He doesn't even need to show up for these things, as other people arranged by Mr. Tang will naturally do the job of muddying the waters.

A person like Yuwen Xuzhong, even after his entire family of more than a hundred people were killed by the Jin Kingdom, there were still a group of ministers on the Song side who believed that he was a disloyal traitor to the Jin Kingdom. The reason he was killed by the Jin people was because he participated in the power struggle within the Jin Kingdom.

It was not until Yang Yuan took out the secret files that had been sealed in the Jisu Room for many years, and the new emperor was eager to change the policy toward Jin, so he set up Yue Fei and Yuwen Xuzhong as examples, that the court cleared his name.

Yang Yuan's contribution is not as great as Yuwen Xuzhong's, right? He has more doubts than Yuwen Xuzhong.

Thinking of this, Liu Yiguan's anxious mood calmed down.

He picked up the tea, rubbed the tea leaves leisurely, and thought lightly, now... just wait for Yang Yuan to die.

Yang Yuan should be dead.

……

"Something happened! Something happened! A robbery and murder occurred at the Duzi Bridge!"

The constable who rushed back to Lin'an Prefecture from Duzi Bridge to report the news rushed into the gate of the yamen and screamed loudly while running towards the office.

While chatting with Li Jingchen, the magistrate of the Southern Court, Yan Ding, who was listening attentively, suddenly stood up.

Li Tongpan was no slower than him and rushed out immediately.

Fan Jiang and Wang Yeran rushed out of the North Hall, stood on the steps in front of the door, widened their eyes, and shouted loudly: "What happened? Who kidnapped the prisoner?"

Before they could finish their words, a man rushed out from behind and knocked them both down, causing them to stumble down the stairs and almost fall flat on their faces.

Judge Wang widened his eyes and shouted, "Did Lord Yang get into trouble?"

"He's been kidnapped, he doesn't know whether he's alive or dead..." The constable who reported the news agreed casually and rushed into the east hall door.

After Qiao Zhen became indignant at Liu Yiguan's arrogance, she began to make some moves, secretly "demolishing Liu Yiguan's house".

Therefore, Liu Yiguan now had limited manpower at his disposal. He kept some of them in the court set up in the yamen for joint trials, and sent some of his more trusted confidants to escort the prisoners back.

However, his confidants were guarding inside and outside Yang Yuan's prison van, and the other prisoners were ordinary Lin'an Prefecture yamen runners, so he did not dare to neglect Wang Zirui's inquiry and quickly agreed.

But his words were vague, and Wang Zirui became even more confused. He immediately ran towards the East Hall.

Just after taking two steps, he came to his senses, turned around and shouted, "Send someone to invite the prefect immediately."

With such a big thing happening, there is no reason for the prefect to stay out of it.

Fan Jiang agreed, and immediately grabbed another bailiff who had chased after him and said, "Go quickly and invite Prefect Qiao back to the yamen immediately."

After giving orders, he chased Wang Zirui and Wang Dashao towards the East Hall.

Behind them, Yan Ding, Li Tongpan, the students of the Imperial Academy, the judges of each department, the prosecutors, the military officers of the six departments, and the heads of each department all followed in a mess.

Today, no one who was supposed to go out on a business trip left, but before the constable howled, there was no one in sight.

They were all like hibernating insects, hiding in their signing rooms waiting for news.

At this time, there was a thunder, and the awakening of insects had arrived!
Wang Zirui, Li Jingchen and Yan Ding walked hurriedly, running at the front of the crowd. When they saw each other, they hurriedly bowed to each other, and they were very polite.

They rushed into the hall of the East Court and saw that the seats were empty and the three chief judges were all gone. Just as they were stunned, Liu Yiguan, Teng Teng and Wu Yichen rushed out from the second hall.

When he saw them, Liu Yiguan's face turned pale. Without even saying hello, he rushed out like a gust of wind.

Teng Teng and Wu Yichen nodded at Wang Zirui and the others, then immediately chased after them.

Liu Yiguan asked someone to bring horses, and the group got on the horses and hurried towards Duzi Bridge.

The officials of all ranks who were riding horses or donkeys behind could not find the strength to walk for a moment, so they hailed a sedan chair in front of the government office and followed behind.

There was chaos at the Duzi Bridge.

Both ends of the bridge were blocked by the police, and the people who came to watch the fun blocked both sides and the bridgehead tightly.

All the doctors, pharmacists and waiters from the nearby clinics and drug stores were invited over, and the detectives were carrying out the injured who were still breathing so that they could use medicine and bandage them on the spot.

The prisoners being escorted in front were restrained in place and unable to move. When Liu Yiguan and others arrived, they blasted a passage open for the common people and rushed in to take a look. They found that those who were injured or dead were all Liu Yiguan's confidants.

Because the real target of robbery and killing was only Yang Yuan, all the fighting took place around Yang Yuan's prison car.

Both inside and outside Yang Yuan's prison car were filled with Liu Yiguan's men.

Among the dead were several bodies of prisoner kidnappers.

These corpses are quite interesting. The ones with bald heads and wearing wigs clearly look like people from the Jin Dynasty, but they are actually people from the Song Dynasty.

Among them, there was one who looked completely like a Song person and even spoke some local dialects of the Song Dynasty during the fight. In fact, he was a real Jin person.

However, no one has discovered the clues yet.

Liu Yiguan hurried to the bridgehead and immediately inquired about the situation. The constables witnessed the entire process of the incident, and an eloquent captain quickly reported the incident to Liu Tongpan.

Suddenly, pedestrians on both sides of the bridge took off their disguises and shot at the prison car where Yang Yuan was with crossbows.

Then, a group of people rushed to the left side of the prison van.

Then, a group of people blocked the front of the prison van. These two groups were not the same group, because when the constables in front of them looked back in surprise, they found that if they had any contact, they would fight.

Then, three more women with black scarves covering their faces rushed towards the prison van.

At this time, Yang Yuan and Fei Yuye in the prison van suddenly counterattacked and killed the escorting constables and escaped from the prison van.

Then two more people appeared at the bridgehead, threw out a bag of knockout drugs, and attacked all the parties involved in the war indiscriminately...

Dali Temple Chief Teng Teng has been a judicial officer for most of his life and has encountered countless complicated and bizarre cases. However, the captain of the police spoke very clearly, but he did not understand after listening to it.

Liu Yiguan and Wu Yichen didn't understand either.

The captain slowed down and said it again.

When he said this, Wang Zirui, Li Jingchen, Yan Ding, Fan Jiang, Wang Yeran and others had already caught up and listened to it in its entirety.

The captain slowed down his speech and explained as he spoke, and when he finished, everyone finally seemed to understand.

There was silence for a moment, and Liu Yiguan slowly said, "Yang Yuan has one wife and four concubines. Among them, Xue, Leng, and Wugulun are all good at martial arts."

Teng Teng asked: "What does Liu Jianzhou mean?"

Liu Yiguan said: "I have reason to suspect that the person who hijacked the prisoner van was Yang Yuan's woman in disguise. We must immediately send someone to the Yang family to investigate.

If it was them, they would have left some loopholes in their haste. Maybe they haven't even returned yet. Someone, come..."

Wang Zirui immediately stepped forward and sneered, "President Liu didn't seem to understand. According to Captain Xing, there are at least four groups of people who want to rescue the prisoners.

Moreover, the four groups of people are enemies, not friends, and have no connection with each other. What? Liu Tongpan has concluded that it was Yang Hou's family who kidnapped the prisoner?"

Liu Yiguan said: "We have to investigate. At least, Yang Yuan and Fei Yeyu killed the escorting constables, which means they knew someone was going to kidnap the prisoner, and they were working together from the inside and outside."

Wang Zirui retorted, "The ones who should have been collaborating from outside, why did they just fire their crossbows into the prisoner car without any explanation?

Could it be that their crossbows have eyes and know not to hurt Yang Yuan, whom they want to save?"

Liu Yiguan said: "Of course someone wants to kill Yang Yuan?"

"Who is this man, then?"

Liu Yiguan was angry: "The current situation is complicated and we naturally need to verify it one by one.

Now that we have a suspect, we naturally need to investigate first. Is there anything wrong with my arrangement?"

Wang Zirui said: "According to what Captain Xing said just now, two of the four escorting officers in the car died, right?
What happened in the car? Why did Yang Hou attack the escort officer? Shouldn't they investigate this as well?"

Liu Yiguan said grimly, "Of course we have to investigate, but there are priorities. What should be investigated first and what should be investigated later? I am in charge of the criminal justice in Lin'an, so naturally I will make the arrangements. Judge Wang, do you have the authority to step in and take over?"

Wang Zirui said, "President Liu, such a serious case happened in the streets of Lin'an. Not only was there a blatant robbery, but so many people were killed and injured, and there were also hidden Jin people among them. I'm afraid that this matter is not something you, Liu Yiguan, can cover up with one hand."

Wang Zirui looked at Wu Yichen and said, "If I remember correctly, the Imperial City Department should be fully responsible for the case involving foreign spies, right?"

Liu Yiguan sneered, ignored his provocation, and ordered in a deep voice: "Send a few people to the Yang family to check immediately!"

Among the people brought by Liu Yiguan, several constables immediately responded and headed towards Renmeifang.

Liu Yiguan looked at the blocked bridge and said, "All the injured should be sent to the nearest hospital, and the rest should be taken back to the government office..."

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Yichen suddenly said, "The bridgehead remains blocked and cannot be moved. Wait until the coroner is called in and the investigation is completed before you can pass through."

Liu Yiguan suddenly looked at Wu Yichen, and Wu Yichen smiled and said, "I am doing my duty and I dare not neglect it. Judge Liu, from now on, I will take over this case."

Wu Yichen turned around and told his followers, "Immediately send someone back to the Imperial City Department to report to Mu Tiju and have them dispatch some people to come here."

The Imperial City Division attendant agreed and turned away.

Wu Yichen added: "All the injured and dead, do not move, wait for my Imperial City Division to send someone to receive them."

Liu Yiguan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Although he set up a trap to tie Yang Yuan to the Jurchens, he did not ask anyone to dress up as a Jin man. He only asked people to do some tricks on the arrows that would induce others to associate them with the Jin man.

But what about the body on the ground with a bald head and a wig thrown aside?

Liu Yiguan turned to Teng Teng and said, "Teng Sizheng, look..."

Teng Teng said with a fake smile: "Liu Jianzhou, the court ordered you and me to set up a small three-division to try Yang Yuan. Now Yang Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, we can't try him.

The prisoner robbery at the bridge is another case. Since the Jin people were present at the scene, the Imperial City Department should investigate. It is only natural that you and I do not have to intervene, right?"

Teng Teng was not stupid either. Although he was happy to see Yang Yuan, a rebellious scholar-official, being punished, he would not want to let anyone use him as a tool.

At this moment, he has realized that this case is very complicated. There are five suspects in a prisoner hijack. This is too complicated. Are there several forces involved?

He, Teng Sizheng, would not wade into this muddy water.

In fact, this case better reflects the problems of the Song Dynasty's overlapping institutions and unclear responsibilities and powers.

The fake meeting case was initially handled by the Privy Council's Speed ​​​​Office.

Because the Aircraft Speed ​​Room has internal and external intelligence reconnaissance agencies.

The fake meeting case involved spies from the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the Speed ​​​​Room, which first discovered the problem, directly sent Liu Shangqiu to take charge of the case.

However, this was another major economic case that occurred in Lin'an Prefecture.

Therefore, after all the criminals were arrested, the case was handed over to Lin'an Prefecture for trial.

As a result, while handling the case, Lin'an Prefecture uncovered the "big boss behind the scenes" Yang Yuan.

Because the incident took place in Lin'an, the discoverer was Lin'an Prefecture, and most of the people involved needed to be investigated by Lin'an Prefecture, so the task of continuing the investigation was given to Lin'an Prefecture.

However, because Yang Yuan was a Beijing official, the Dali Temple sent personnel to intervene.

Also, because this case involved collusion between internal and external forces, and the external forces were spies from the Jin Dynasty, the Imperial City Division, which was responsible for intelligence affairs in the Lin'an area, also sent personnel to intervene.

This constituted a small three-court trial.

Now, a prisoner robbery has occurred at the Duzi Bridge, and there are prisoners with Jin-style features who have died at the scene, and officials from the Imperial City Department are at the scene...

As the Imperial City Division specifically responsible for spying and monitoring the imperial city and the security of the palace, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Censorate nor under the control of the Three Yamen. In other words, neither civil officials nor military officials could control it and it was directly under the emperor.

Therefore, the Imperial City Bureau has always been excluded by court officials, and its authority is limited to the city of Lin'an. If the Imperial City Bureau still wants to stay out of it at this time, then is there any need for it to exist?
If Wu Yichen dared to do nothing at this moment, Mu Tiju would find a reason to demote him when he returned.

Maybe he was demoted to be a postman in Lin'an Ma Di Pu like Zhang Ai Bo, the former head of the third capital of the Lower Command Post.

Zhang Aibo was exiled for gathering people to gamble. If he dares to do nothing today, he will be digging up the roots of the Imperial City Bureau, and his fate may be worse than Zhang Aibo's.

Therefore, how dare Wu Yichen not stand up?
For a while, the five suspects in the prisoner robbery had not yet been figured out who was who, and there was a dispute among the gentlemen as to whether the Lin'an Prefecture or the Imperial City Division should be in charge of the case.

Liu Yiguan was not willing to hand over the case handling power to the Imperial City Division.

He originally just wanted to send people to shoot a few cold arrows to create a riot, and then have an insider kill Yang Yuan. The case would be proven solid, and the rest would have nothing to do with him, but would be the beginning of a new game in the temple.

As a result, Yang Yuan is missing now. Only when his body is found at the scene can his case be closed. Now that the criminal is missing, the trial cannot continue.

If the relevant people are taken over by the Imperial City Bureau at this time, what if they find clues related to him?
Two of the four confidants who were escorting them are now dead, and the other two are seriously injured and unconscious.

They were loyal to him, and they also knew what would happen if the truth was exposed, so Liu Yiguan was not worried that the Imperial City Bureau could easily get anything out of them, but the problem was...

It wasn't just that his people simply failed, but that several groups of people inexplicably ran away.

Liu Yiguan doesn't even know the details of any of these parties now. If the case is handled by the Imperial City Bureau next, the feeling of losing control will make him feel very insecure.

Liu Yiguan wanted to fight for it, so he said calmly: "Since there are people from the Jin Kingdom among the prisoner robbers, the Imperial City Bureau cannot stay out of it.

However, this case happened while I was about to try a case. The person who was kidnapped was the suspect I was about to try. Many of my subordinates were killed or injured in this case, so I also want to participate in the investigation of this case. Commander Wu, you won't object, right?"

What Liu Yiguan said was well-reasoned. When the surrounding detectives heard that Liu Tongpan was unwilling to see his subordinates killed and injured, they looked at him with moving admiration. How could Wu Yichen object?

The existence of the Imperial City Bureau, independent of the Taiwan Inspection Bureau and the Three Yamen, was a thorn in the eyes of court officials. No one liked such a force that was not under their control.

If he refused, who knows how much trouble it would bring to the Imperial City Bureau, and the regent's desk would be piled up with memorials impeaching the Imperial City Bureau.

Thinking of this, Wu Yichen said, "Of course it is. This case is so complicated. It will be easier to investigate it earlier if Liu Jianzhou and Lin'an Prefecture join in the investigation. I couldn't ask for more."

Liu Yiguan immediately felt relieved. As long as he also participated in the case, he could communicate information with his people in a timely manner.

If during the investigation process, if there are any loopholes left by his people when they take action, he can also help to clean up the mess in time to avoid being traced back to him.

Liu Yiguan felt relieved and said, "What Commander Wu said just now makes sense. We should wait for the coroner to inspect the scene before letting the people pass."

Liu Yiguan immediately turned around and instructed one of his confidants: "Captain Yan, go back to the government office immediately and call in the best coroner in Lin'an Prefecture to conduct an on-site inspection.

Captain Xing, you must immediately lead your men to evacuate the people on both sides of the road, and put up a sign at the intersection to tell them to take a detour to avoid congestion here."

The two captains agreed and immediately went to carry out their tasks.

Liu Yiguan took the initiative to say, "Commander Wu, why don't you and I ask those with less serious injuries in time so that we can understand more clearly.

After all, Captain Xing was the one who escorted the previous vehicle, so he may not know everything in detail."

Wu Yichen deeply agreed with this. He had handled many cases in order to be promoted to the commander.

He also knew that the earlier clues were found, the easier it would be to solve the case.

Once it is delayed for too long, it is likely that many clues will become invalid clues due to losing their timeliness, thus causing the case to become an unsolved case and remain unresolved.

The Dali Temple official Teng Teng felt that the water was too deep and he wanted to hide as far away from it as possible. He immediately bowed and said goodbye to the two of them and went back to the Dali Temple to report to his superiors.

However, Wang Zirui was competing with Liu Yiguan. He followed Liu Yiguan closely and said, "You ask your questions and I can sit in as an observer, right?"

If Wu Yichen hadn't told Wang Zirui to leave, Liu Yiguan wouldn't have been able to drive him away even if he wanted to.

Since Wang Zirui didn't have to leave, Li Jingchen, Yan Ding, Fan Jiang, Wang Yeran and others shamelessly stayed at the scene.

As a result, Liu Yiguan and Wu Yichen had to ask for information from people who had direct contact with the prisoner kidnappers, followed by a large group of "jurors".

Liu Yiguan deliberately picked a constable who had not received his authorization to question first. This was also to allow his confidants to be mentally prepared and think about how to answer during the questioning process.

Unexpectedly, the constable only said that Baili Bing and others suddenly jumped up from the left side of the bridge railing and rushed towards the prison van. At the same time, hidden arrows attacked from both sides of the bridge head, and then a series of neat and heavy footsteps of "clang clang clang" were heard.

There was a sudden commotion among the people at the bridge, and they all looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

At this time, Captain Xing had already led people to evacuate the people who were watching the excitement on both sides of the bridge, as well as the pedestrians and merchants who were blocked there.

Then, a group of officers and soldiers wearing thick felt hats with red tassels, and narrow-sleeved battle jackets, each holding a red tasseled spear, and their combat boots tapping the ground, came running towards them in a line with clanging sounds.

There was an officer in front of us, riding on a horse. He was wearing armor and had a sword on his ribs. When he reached the bridge, he shouted loudly:
"According to the order of the Regent King Jin, all gates and water gates of Lin'an are to be sealed.

All major and minor roads will be taken over by the Palace Front Department. All people, officials will return to their respective offices, and civilians will return to their respective homes. Anyone who disobeys the order and walks without permission will be executed immediately! "

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers from the Palace Front Division he brought with him spread out to the bridgehead and began to control the scene with a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.

Soon after, another group of people came hurriedly along the long embankment at the bridge head. They wore black inner garments with red sleeveless outer robes, leather waists, copper-buckled wrist guards, and long swords on their waists. They were obviously the marriage officials of the Imperial City Bureau.

"According to the order of the Regent King Jin, a foreign spy has robbed and killed an important official in the streets of Lin'an, committing a crime in public. The Imperial City Bureau is fully responsible for arresting the murderer and solving this case!"

After saying that, the leader of the team led his men and walked quickly to the bridgehead.

Wu Yichen was surprised and stepped forward quickly, asking, "Captain Cheng, has the regent issued an order?"

When Cheng Dutou saw Wu Yichen, he stopped and saluted, saying, "Commander Wu, the Regent is in court today, and I wanted to wait for news from the Lin'an Prefecture trial.

Upon hearing that a prisoner robbery had occurred, the Regent was furious and ordered the Imperial City Bureau to immediately arrest the murderer and rescue Marquis Yang.

All five thousand relatives of my Imperial City Bureau as well as the Yellow Courtyard, Zao Courtyard, Inner Courtyard, Fast Courtyard, and Long Courtyard have been dispatched.

Mu Tiju will come in person later, and will let us take over the scene first!"

After hearing this, Wu Yichen nodded and turned to look at Liu Yiguan.

Liu Yiguan had heard their conversation and was annoyed, but at this point, he had no choice.

Fortunately, he thought over and over again and felt that there should be no loopholes. At this moment, he could only force himself to remain calm and nodded, saying, "Since the Regent has issued an order, our Lin'an Prefecture should withdraw. This place will be handed over to the Imperial City Division."

……

Baili Bing did not run far. The boat went out of Fengyu Gate, went a short distance forward, and then turned left.

There are many boats on the West Lake, especially small boats. No one would pay special attention to a small boat.

Soon, the boat stopped under the Leifeng Tower.

Not far across from Leifeng Pagoda is the Qiyun Jinbiao Society where Yang Yuan once lurked under the pseudonym Song Zhong.

Because many lives were lost there and the money has not been redeemed yet, the huge archery club has become quite declining.

Baili Bing and others brought the unconscious Yang Yuan and Fei Yuye ashore, climbed up along the weeds, and soon disappeared.

They quietly entered the underground palace of Leifeng Tower.

Leifeng Pagoda is a tall pagoda built by Qian Chu, the king of Wuyue, to enshrine the Buddha's hair relics and pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

The tower has seven floors. It was destroyed by fire in the second year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty and now stands there alone.

Only the tower body could not be burned down by fire. The wooden structures inside had all been destroyed and the spire no longer existed.

It would take more than ten years for eminent monks to raise funds to rebuild this pagoda. Now it is just a dilapidated ruin that is seldom visited.

However, few people know that there is actually an underground palace underneath this tall tower, but Baili Bing knows it.

Because the person who designed and built Leifeng Pagoda for the King of Wu Yue was a great architect named Lei, who was a member of the "Jisitang".

The original "Jisitang" was powerful and wealthy, and it really attracted too many talented people from all over the world. Among them, there were two major families, the Lei and the Wang, who were skilled in architectural design.

The descendant of the Wang family is the current Wang Changsheng.

There is a descendant of the Lei family who is now following Baili Bing and lurking with her in "Yanziwu".

Baili Bing had already had someone clean the underground palace in advance, but the cold atmosphere was so strong that Yang Yuan and Fei Yuye woke up one after another.

As soon as Yang Yuan opened his eyes, Baili Bing pinched his chin and threw a pill into his mouth...
