The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

After leaving the palace, Ye Qianxuan said goodbye to the two Jinyiwei, and then returned to Room No. 2 on Fengshi Street, ready to take a short rest and prepare for the morning court in a few hours!

But no one expected that at this moment, the Corpse Sewing Street was surrounded by the Nine Gates Admiral's Legion!

Many corpse tailors were isolated outside and watched, complaining bitterly.

Most of the corpse sewing work is done at night!

I was busy all night, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even go home!

"Master Leaf!"

Many people in the Nine Gates Commander-in-Chief Army knew Ye Qianxuan, and when they saw him coming, they all greeted him.

"Uh, I want to go back and take a nap, please go easy on me!" Ye Qianxuan said.

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

The messengers from the Nine Gates Admiralty Army made way for Ye Qianxuan to enter.

Other corpse tailors also wanted to follow Ye Qianxuan’s opening to enter, but they were directly beaten out by the Nine Gates Commander’s Army!

They all expressed their dissatisfaction and pointed at Ye Qianxuan: "Why can he enter but we can't?"

The officer slapped the corpse tailor in the face, spat, and said:

"Who the hell are you? How dare you be compared to Master Ye?"

"Stay here quietly! Otherwise, I'll arrest all of you and throw you into the prison at the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the corpse tailors fell silent and dared not say another word.

Ugh!

People are so irritating!

People don’t hate privileges, they just hate that the people who have privileges are not themselves!

Ye Qianxuan walked in so openly, but found that there were the most policemen outside Room No. 2. At the same time, the door was wide open, and there were pools of blood inside, slowly flowing out!

Ye Qianxuan felt a sudden palpitation for no reason, and then rushed in immediately!

"Master Leaf!"

Duan Zhenggang noticed Ye Qianxuan the first time.

He hadn't slept all night, and came up with a haggard face. He said softly in a sad tone:

"Please grief."

Ye Qianxuan stared blankly at his room number two.

The 100,000 taels of gold just obtained from the transaction with the Tiandihui disappeared.

Chu Yao, wearing a cheongsam, was lying in a pool of blood, her limbs broken and blood flowing everywhere. She was already dead.

There were also many paper figures scattered on the ground, which came from nowhere.

"What's going on!" Ye Qianxuan was shocked and looked at Duan Zhenggang!

An indescribable feeling of anger spread in his chest!

"The Taoist art of paper figurines, a method of the Renzong sect." Duan Zhenggang sighed and said, "We are a step too late after all."

"So many murders have already happened in the capital! The entire Nine Gates Admiralty Army is on patrol! How could you be so late?"

Ye Qianxuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed Duan Zhenggang's collar tightly and questioned him.

Seeing this, the other corpse tailors who were watching couldn't help but be shocked at Ye Qianxuan's audacity!

A lowly person actually questioned the imperial official, the Nine Gates Commander, in this way!

There were a few new recruits from the Nine Gates Admiralty Army who didn't know Ye Qianxuan. They also frowned, drew their swords and took a step forward!

Duan Zhenggang made a downward gesture to stop his men from wanting to take action, and then said softly:

"Today, within a thirty-mile radius of the Imperial City, the Six Gates, led by the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the area."

"They...deliberately didn't patrol Corpse Street..."

"This is all my fault."

"That guy has been committing crimes in the outer city. I didn't expect him to actually dare to come to the imperial city to kill people!"

"I didn't expect that he was coming for you..."

Ye Qianxuan was struck by lightning. He slowly let go of Duan Zhenggang's collar and walked to Chu Yao in a daze.

At this moment, Chu Yao's pretty face was filled with fear, and her limbs were broken, as if she had suffered great fear in her life!

Ye Qianxuan gently covered Chu Yao's beautiful eyes with his hands, then took off his robe, gathered all the corpses, and held them in his arms.

Only then did he realize that Chu Yao was so light!

It’s so light that it makes people feel that everything is so unreal!

"In fact, even if the Six Gates or Nine Gates Admiralty Army patrolled here, they could not prevent Miss Chu Yao's death."

Duan Zhenggang shook his head and said, "The Taoist sect's paper figurine technique is mysterious and unpredictable. Legend has it that it extracts ghosts from the soul-summoning banner, attaches them to it, and forces them to kill for the caster."

"This kind of killing method cannot be defended by martial artists at all."

"Only those who are Confucian or Taoist can do it."

"The other party killed so many people in the outer city, probably just to fill the soul-summoning flags so that they could have more souls to drive the paper figurines to come and kill Miss Chu Yao and move the gold."

Ye Qianxuan raised his head slightly: "So the murderer was not a demon, but a Taoist monk, right?"

"Yes... our Nine Gates Commandery's initial defense direction was wrong..." Duan Zhenggang said guiltily.

If he had known earlier that the other party was a human, he would not have handed over the area of ​​30 miles under the imperial city to the Six Gates of the Ministry of Justice!

Because the empress is in charge of the imperial city, ordinary demons generally dare not approach within thirty miles of the imperial city.

But the human race dares.

"waste!"

Ye Qianxuan suddenly flew into a rage, unsheathing his ancient black-gold sword. The sharp blade gleamed and pierced through the beams of the hall, sending broken wood and tiles crashing down. This caused the Nine Gates Admiral's army to retreat, leaving many corpse tailors dumbfounded!

Duan Zhenggang also opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Get out! Everyone, get out! Stop disturbing people in this Corpse Stitching Street!"

Ye Qianxuan roared angrily.

The dignified Nine Gates Admiral did not have any temper at this moment. He just sighed, bowed guiltily to Ye Qianxuan, and then called on the Nine Gates Admiral's army to leave.

The many corpse tailors were finally able to go home and sleep.

Ye Qianxuan held Chu Yao and gently placed her in the coffin. Then he extinguished the floor heating charcoal fire, making the room cold.

The morning court session was approaching, and Ye Qianxuan had no time to sew Chu Yao's body. He could only preserve Chu Yao's body at low temperatures and wait until he came back.

"Chu Yao, don't worry!"

"The master will definitely avenge you!"

"must!"

Ye Qianxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke word by word.

In the shadows across the street, the collapsed roof was seen in the distance, making a noise. The person hiding in the shadows sneered and said "Hey", and then fell into silence again.

……

Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mansion.

In the master bedroom, the Minister of Works, Jia Lebang, was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms.

A paper man slowly floated into the yard with the fluttering of a banner, then climbed up and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

Afterwards, it carefully avoided the honeycomb coal stove, walked to the bed, climbed up, ran to the pillow of the Minister of Works, and then gathered all its strength and hit the Minister of Works in the face.

The Minister of Works frowned and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the paper man on the pillow, he suddenly woke up.

He first observed the concubine to make sure she was sleeping soundly, then picked up the paper figure, got out of bed and walked to the table, lit the kerosene lamp on the table, unfolded the paper figure, and squinted his eyes to read the tiny words on the paper.

Substitution.

This was Jia Lebang’s first reaction.

This handwriting is much more beautiful than that of Li Youming. You can tell at first glance that it was written by a scholar.

But when he finished reading it, Jia Lebang no longer had the mind to think about the handwriting. His face changed drastically and his beard trembled.

Afterwards, he suddenly let out a breath of relief and regained his composure, as if he had anticipated what would happen today!

He got up and returned to the bed, looked at the sleeping concubine, pondered for a moment, slowly covered the concubine's mouth and nose with a pillow, then pulled out a knife and cut directly at the concubine's limbs!

The concubine opened her eyes in horror, but couldn't utter a word!

She never expected that the master who accompanied her day and night would be so cruel to her!

Soon, the concubine's limbs were broken and blood was flowing all over the paper man!

The paper man seemed to be full, shaking his body and slowly leaving the Minister of Works' Mansion!

After finishing all this, the Minister of Industry sat down at the table, sighed heavily, and then began to think about countermeasures...
