Wei Ting said solemnly, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, Yin Yuhe has also plotted against us!"

"He wants so much that I'm afraid we don't need to contact him first. He will definitely find us."

I didn't expect that a remnant of the Yin family, who was in his early 20s and had never appeared in everyone's sight, would be so evil.

All the staff members in Prince Wei's palace were deceived.

Du Chuke stood up, walked up to Li Tai and whispered, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei, the Yin Yuhe is getting bigger and bigger, and His Majesty has already treated the Xie Gui incident as a top priority."

"Maybe all of us will be implicated."

After hearing his words, the faces of the people present all became solemn.

Li Tai asked in a deep voice: "Du Chuke, what do you have in mind?"

No one knows where Yin Yuhe and his gang are hiding now, and they have not revealed the specific murder plan to him.

Du Chuke shook his head.

He didn't dare ask his family for help in finding Yin Yuhe and others. After all, there was no need for the family to take the risk of doing such a heinous thing.

Faced with the dangerous things he and the King of Wei had done, not only would his family members not support him, but for the sake of the family's interests they might even pull him out and bring him before His Majesty in person to apologize.

After all, the family has other candidates besides supporting him.

For example, that little rascal Du He.

Du Chuke suddenly thought of Yin Yuhe's identity. He pointed in the direction of the harem and said, "Yin Yuhe's aunt is Concubine Yin. Why don't we go ask Concubine Yin?"

Li Tai waved his hands and said, "Yin Fei has been in the palace all year round, she probably doesn't know about it."

"Besides, as a prince, I cannot go to the harem at will."

"Besides the four of us present here, this news must not be known to any fifth person."

Yin Fei, who has been living in the palace, can't do anything important except whispering to her father.

Not to mention Concubine Yin, even her maids were not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will.

Du Chuke said helplessly: "Now, we can only wait for Yin Yuhe to contact us."

"Hey~"

Inside the hall, four people sighed in unison.

...

Night falls.

The howling north wind made the ancient trees on the streets of Chang'an City rustle.

Countless yellow leaves fluttered in the air and fell with the autumn wind.

Fortunately, the moon is bright today, and its silver light illuminates the earth.

It's quiet at night.

Inside Quchifang.

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

The elderly night watchman held a candle and walked slowly forward, shouting loudly.

Every few steps, he would strike the gong.

Originally, night watchmen only needed to shout signals on weekdays without beating the gong, so as not to disturb the people's rest.

But now that there was an incident of a ghost killing people, the county magistrate asked him to ring the gong to scare the ghost away.

The night watchman was so absorbed in his walking that he was completely unaware of the two strange shadows that appeared behind him.

He walked to the corner and suddenly found two figures on the wall. He was stunned.

When he turned around, two figures had already pounced on him like ghosts.

"what!"

"Clang~"

The night watchman screamed in fright.

The gong in his hand also fell onto the hard stone road, making a harsh sound.

The people in the nearby houses were already afraid to sleep, and now they were all frightened when they heard the shrill noises in the street.

Those who have swords take them, and those who don't take sticks.

Every family was crowded into one room, and they looked at the closed door as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Don't hurt anyone, you thief!"

A loud bell-like roar spread throughout the entire Quchifang.

Soon, a tsunami-like shouting was heard in the market town.

"The court is arresting the thieves who hurt people, the people should not be afraid!"

"It's not some ghost that's killing people, it's some thief that's committing murder and scaring people!"

Hearing the shouts coming from the street outside, the people in the houses were all stunned.

It's not the ghost that harms people, but people?

Upon hearing the news, many brave people opened their doors and walked out.

On the street, there were dozens of imperial guards holding torches, detaining two men with disheveled hair, green faces and fangs.

The elderly night watchman slumped on the ground.

His face was pale and his chest was heaving violently.

The leading general directly tore off the disguises on the two thieves' faces, revealing two ordinary middle-aged faces.

The middle-aged general pinched their cheeks roughly, and then yelled at them.

"How dare you! It's actually a human disguised as a ghost!"

When the people outside heard this voice that gave them a sense of security, they rushed forward frantically.

They want to see what the murderer looks like.

The people from the Hundred Cavalry Division were also very tactful. They all stepped aside to allow the people to come closer and watch.

When the people rushed to the front and saw that the perpetrators were two middle-aged men with murderous eyes, they all couldn't help but burst into cursing.

"Damn thief, he has harmed so many people!"

"It would not be too much for the imperial court to cut you into pieces!"

There was a huge commotion here, and the people in Qujiangfang came out of their houses one after another and gathered here.

The people cursed the two silent murderers for a while, and suddenly an old man's voice was heard from the crowd.

"I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. It's all because of you evil thieves. I'm going to beat you to death!"

Other people in the crowd responded one after another.

"Yes, rush up and kill him!"

"We are ridding the people of harm!"

The people of Chang'an were very brave. No matter whether they were men or women, old or young, they all rolled up their sleeves and prepared to rush forward to deal with the two thieves.

Niu Jinda quickly stopped them and shouted, "Fellow villagers, please don't get excited. Please listen to me!"

The people from the Hundred Cavalry Division nearby also stood in front of the two murderers to protect them.

After the people stopped, Niu Jinda walked to the front of the crowd, raised his hands and shouted.

"Fellow villagers, the court still needs to interrogate the thieves and find out their accomplices."

"Everyone, rest assured, the imperial court will not let this gang of thieves go!"

"Go back and have a good sleep."

After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he saw that the onlookers were still reluctant to leave.

He had no choice but to order the Hundred Cavalry Division to take the thief away and escort the frightened night watchman back.

The people who stayed where they were gathered together and started talking after the soldiers left.

Many people directly cursed the thieves, venting the anger they had suffered from the fright they had suffered in the past few days.

Suddenly a young voice spoke from the crowd.

"The general just now said that the other side has a group of thieves. Are there still some who have not been arrested?"

quiet!

The street suddenly became silent.

All that was left was the rustling of swaying branches and the whistling of the evening breeze.

The people were stunned for about ten breaths, then they all pulled their elderly and children and hurried back home, closing the door tightly.

It’s not enough to make a cup of tea.

The streets were deserted.
