Chapter 1377

Tang Yin glared at Wang Song and asked coldly, "is the assassin hiding in the guild hall? Didn't you already patrol? What's more, how did the assassins sneak in when they were heavily guarded? "

Wang Song wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead and stammered: "it was the assassin who disguised himself as a craftsman, so he sneaked into the guild hall. This is my humble official's oversight. I hope you will forgive me."

I see! What a cunning assassin. The assassin must have known that he and lingshuang would often go there, and they would have settled down in the Changdu guild hall, and had made arrangements early. This assassination was a carefully planned action.

If he had not been sober at that time, he lingshuang would have been killed for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "in any case, these assassins must be captured." Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

He was mumbling to himself, but Wang Song thought Tang Yin was talking to him. He quickly bowed down to salute him and said, "don't worry, my king. Even if I dig three feet, I will catch the assassin in front of the king."

Wang Song's words were more popular with Tang Yin. He nodded and said, "check it out. In two days, you must give me a result."

"I will obey you." Wang Song responded with relief. For two days, he was not afraid that the assassin could fly away. What he was afraid of was that the king would punish himself now.

Wang Song hurriedly took orders to go, he commanded the Zeping County army, all the city gates out of the city were closed, all the waterways outside were blocked, at the same time, a large number of county troops launched the city wide search.

For a time, the city of Changdu was filled with a strong sense of killing. Even though the sky was already bright, there were still few pedestrians on the street. The shops on both sides of the road were closed one after another, with doors and windows closed.

Tang Yin and lingshuang stay in Changdu for the time being because they want to track down the assassin's relationship. The spies of Tianyan and the ground network and the secret archers fully cooperated with the local army of Changdu to pursue the assassins.

Wang Song's ability is not flattering, but it does not mean that there are no capable people under him.

There was a good tracker in the county army. His name is Gao Mucheng. He was born in Lingnan County, Fengdi. His ancestors and his father's generation were all made of wood. It was only when he began to practice Lingwu.

Because of his family background, Gao Mucheng has a delicate mind and is good at observing details. While others went door-to-door searching for assassins, he had been searching both sides of the river.

At that time, the assassins jumped into the river to escape. Although the guards went after them, they didn't catch them. Finally, they let the assassins escape smoothly. However, according to the soldiers of the guard camp, some of the assassins were injured. Since some of them were injured and fled in such a hurry, there must be clues left to see whether they can be found.

Maybe it was the emperor who did what he wanted, or maybe Gao Mucheng's starting point was too accurate. After a whole day of inspection, he really found the clues. It was a piece of broken silver, most of which was buried in the mud by the river, leaving only a small spot to be exposed.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid you can't even see it. Even if you find it, you'll think it's your luck to find the silver. However, according to the color of the silver, Gao Mucheng quickly judged that the silver had just fallen here, that is, the matter of one or two days. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the people in the city to go to the river channel, a place full of mud. Besides, ordinary people are unlikely to carry silver. At most, it is copper money.

According to these judgments, Gao Mucheng suspected that the silver was probably left by the assassin when he climbed ashore from the river. Interestingly, the shape of the silver is very special, and it is in the shape of plum blossom. As far as Gao Mucheng knows, there is only one place in the capital city that can make the scattered silver into plum blossom shape, namely, Wantong silk and satin villa.

At present, he is not sure whether the assassin has anything to do with Wantong silk and satin manor, but one thing is certain that the assassin has at least been there and bought things there, otherwise there would be no silver coins unique to Wantong silk and satin villa.

He didn't tell Wang song about his judgment. Wang Song knew exactly what Wang song was about. Besides, the boss of Wantong silk and satin shop was a famous local rich man with a wide range of business scope. He had money with Wang Songduo. Gao Mucheng thought that even if the assassin had a real relationship with Wantong silk and satin shop, Wang song might have suppressed it. In addition, he didn't want to be in Wang Song's hands The next life, this thing, but a good opportunity to change his future destiny, he did not want to miss.

He goes straight to Cheng Jin, the leader of the secret arrow. After meeting, he tells Cheng Jin about his discovery and inference.

After hearing this, Cheng Jin immediately realizes that Gao Mucheng's discovery is very important, and his inference is reasonable. Even if Wantong silk and satin shop has nothing to do with the assassin, at least he should have seen the assassin and his appearance. As long as he can grasp the assassin's appearance and go to search for him, he will save a lot of effort.

He asked Gao Mucheng if he wanted to search Wantong silk and satin shop. Gao Mucheng shook his head again and again, and said, "general Cheng, the boss of Wantong silk and satin shop is Meng Ping'an. He is a well-known local rich man and a good man. He has high moral integrity. If he rashly goes to search without any evidence, he is afraid that it will lead to dissatisfaction and unnecessary trouble."Cheng Jin rubbed his chin for a moment and asked, "what do you mean?"

"You can go to the dark first to investigate the situation. If it's abnormal, it's not too late to conduct an open investigation." Gao Mucheng arched his hand and said.

Cheng Jin laughed, nodded and said, "OK, I'll follow you."

Gao Mucheng is so happy that Cheng Jin, the big head of the secret arrow, can go with him to investigate secretly. What a great honor! He didn't even refuse to refuse. He bowed down again and said, "with general Cheng's company, the hearts of his subordinates will be more profound."

"Ha ha," Cheng Jin said with a smile, "if your inference is correct this time, and Wantong silk and satin shop has something to do with assassins, then I will ask the king personally to put you into my secret arrow account."

Gao Mucheng doubts whether he has heard the wrong thing. Cheng Jin wants to put himself in the dark arrow. How can this be possible? The dark arrow only accepts the spirit cultivators of the dark system, but he cultivates the spirit martial arts of the light department!

As a matter of fact, Cheng Jin had long been interested in absorbing the spirit practitioners of the light department. Now, the growth of the dark arrow is far less than the expansion speed of Fengguo, which requires a lot of talents to supplement. However, there are too few dark cultivators. Therefore, Cheng Jin also intends to expand the scope of recruiting his subordinates. However, he has not yet found the opportunity to mention to the king. If this high admiration can help him catch the assassins, then It is also a good opportunity to take this opportunity to propose to the king that Gao Mucheng be included under his command, so as to break the practice of recruiting only secret practitioners.

From the heart, Cheng Jin has no prejudice. No matter it is the dark or the light, as long as he has the ability, as long as he can do things and accomplish things, he appreciates it.

In the evening of the same day, Cheng Jin and Gao Mucheng came to Wantong silk and satin villa in casual clothes.

Now there are almost no shops in the city, and Wantong silk and satin shop is no exception. Gao Mucheng takes a look at Cheng Jin, then goes to the front of the shop, hammers the door plank with force, and at the same time shouts out: "open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"

After a short time, a young man dressed as a handyman opened the door of the shop and opened a small crack. Looking out, he saw that the man was Gao Mucheng. The young man's expression collapsed and said, "General Gao, your men have just come to search. Why do you want to search again now?"

Gao Mucheng is a general in the county army. His position is not high, but he is not bad. Many people know him. Gao Mucheng waved to the young man and said, "we are not here to search, but to buy silk."

"Ah?" The young man was stunned at first, and then with a big smile on his face, he said, "General Gao, I'm really sorry that the shop is not open today. Please come back another day."

"No way." Gao Mucheng turned to his side and pointed to Cheng Jin behind him. He said, "my friend will go back to the windy place with the king tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. When he is free, he has to buy some gifts to take home. Let's make it convenient for you, little brother."

Yo, it sounds like this is the person around the wind king! The young man looked up and down at Cheng Jin. He didn't dare to push back. He opened the door and said with a smile, "please come inside, two generals."

Cheng Jin follows Gao Mucheng into the silk and satin shop. The space inside is not small. It is divided into upper and lower floors. On the lower floor, there are some ordinary silks and satins for ordinary people. However, the silks on the second floor are much more exquisite, and the price is naturally higher. It is specially prepared for senior officials and dignitaries.

Both Gao Mucheng and Cheng Jin are generals in the army. Even if the young bartender doesn't know Cheng Jin's identity, judging from the degree of respect Gao Mucheng has for him, he can guess that his status is extraordinary.

The bartender directly let them to the second floor. After they were seated, they served tea and water, and they also delivered fruits and snacks. They were very polite.

After taking good care of them, the bartender took out the silk and satin piece by piece from the bottom of the counter and placed them on the top of the counter. Pointing one by one, he introduced: "the two generals, this is the most famous pan brocade in Zeping county. It is made on the plate. It is exquisite and well-made. It can be said that the two generals can come and feel it, it is smooth and smooth, and wear it on them It's as light as nothing. "

The bartender's eloquence is excellent, and his introduction is endless.

Cheng Jin stands up with a smile, goes to the counter, touches it, and then nods secretly. Although the bartender exaggerates, this Panjin is really good. It's not the best, but it's absolutely top-notch.

He didn't think much about it. He didn't even ask about the price. He said, "give me 20 feet of this brocade."

Ah! The bartender is very quiet. This one's tone is really not small. When he opens his mouth, he needs 20 feet and doesn't ask about the price. The bartender said with a dry smile, "this general, the price of Panjin is not cheap. It costs five Liang silver a foot."
