One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter false accusation
Yu'er sealed several heavy blood on Tian Yinke's body, stopping Tian Yinke from continuing to bleed.
At the same time, the first thing Yu'er thought of was Cao Zhuo. This did not mean that Yu'er had anything to do with Cao Zhuo, but because Cao Zhuo broke his arm. Now Tian Yinke's situation is not much different from Cao Zhuo, so there is definitely nothing wrong with Cao Zhuo.[]
In the inn, Cao Zhuo was drinking alone while listening to the rewards of his apprentice.
Zhuifeng did not get news or whereabouts of Tian Yinke, but was reporting to Cao Zhuo about the abnormal movements of Baihuwei.
After a long time, Cao Zhuo said slowly: "You mean, Yan Tao himself brought countless White Tiger Sword Guards to move out?"
"Yes." Zhuifeng nodded and continued, "The people below found that Yan Tao led the White Tiger Sword Guard to move out, and followed closely, but unfortunately they still lost it."
Cao Zhuo shook his head and sighed. This situation was often the case before. Not only the White Tiger Guard, but also the other two guards. Because the three guards entered Shangjing City, they quickly sprinkled their eyeliners everywhere in Shangjing City with lightning speed. For a time, the three guards had many more spies than the Jinyiwei.
The eldest prince Zhu Zhen had already known about the three guards' approach, but his ambiguous attitude made Cao Zhuo constrain everywhere and could not pull out all the spies of the three guards, and he could not even move. Cao Zhuo also knew that the eldest prince Zhu Zhen was trying to balance the strength of all parties.
The spies of the Three Guards do not have a formal identity. Once something happens, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen will not favor them. However, Cao Zhuo's Jinyiwei is different. They are legitimate spies and also have the power of life and death. Once the spies of the Three Guards make any mistakes, the Jinyiwei has the right to kill them. After killing the Three Guards, they cannot settle the accounts after the autumn.
Without an army, the Jinyiwei can have the power of life and death in the city.
Of course, some people have advised the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, saying that the Jinyiwei has too much power, which may prevent disasters.
However, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen also had an ambiguous attitude towards this. On the contrary, Zhu Zhen believed that Cao Zhuo was dedicated to doing things for him and would definitely not do anything illegal. Zhu Zhen had already experienced this when he was in the capital.
In private, Zhu Zhen once said to his grandfather Ning Fei: Cao Zhuo is a loyal, righteous and upright person.
Ning Fei also agreed with Zhu Zhen’s statement. Although they have different positions, their ultimate goal is to support the eldest prince Zhu Zhen.
"How is the investigation of that matter?" Cao Zhuo asked after a glass of wine.
Zhuifeng looked ashamed: "Reply to Master's words, at first we thought it was a flower-picking thief who was acting in the night to plunder women, but after careful investigation, we found that all of these women were missing in broad daylight. The apprentice believed that this matter was not as simple as a flower-picking thief, and it might involve a lot." Zhuifeng was a little hiding in his words.
Cao Zhuo frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes, my apprentice has investigated. It is very likely that all the missing women disappeared in the downtown area and were robbed in front of everyone. Therefore, my apprentice believes that this matter has nothing to do with the Three Guards."
"Why do you think so?" Everything requires evidence. Although Cao Zhuo was born as a martial artist, he is better because he is flexible and cautious, otherwise he would not have been lurking in the Gaochang royal court for so long.
"The missing woman has painted portraits and issued them to all spies. It is also ordered that all spies must pay close attention to the beautiful women walking on the street. There is a spy reward. On that day, I saw a woman and was in the market, but in a blink of an eye, no trace of the woman was found. The next day, the woman disappeared and her whereabouts were unknown. At the same time, in the market where the incident occurred, spies often saw several sedan chairs passing by, that is, the other party hid people in sedan chairs, and there were so many eyes in the market, not only were our Jinyiwei spies, but there were also many spies from the Three Guards, but why did they not see it? This is the key to the problem."
"Who is that exactly?" Cao Zhuo asked with a deep thought.
Zhuifeng shook his head: "The apprentice is incompetent. Everything depends on the spy's news and his own inference. By the way, the Yan family invited the Broken Sword from the quarterfinals of Luoyang to come back to be a bodyguard for Yan Yanting. The apprentice felt that this was strange."
"Luoyang Eighth, Broken Sword?" Cao Zhuo repeated the name of Broken Sword, but didn't know what he was thinking.
"Imagine that the White Tiger Guard is already strong enough, why should we invite a master with such strong martial arts back as a bodyguard? Could it be that someone wants to murder Yan Yanting? This is completely impossible. When the Yan family was in charge of the old general Yan, they had never established any enemies at all. The only ones were Wang Xunfu in the capital, but the Wang family died and the prisoners were imprisoned, and the only ones were the Queen Mother Wang. However, although the Queen Mother Wang sent a lot of spies to sneak into the capital, they were all stopped by us. Nothing happened so far. Besides, the Queen Mother Wang really had actions and would not target the Yan family, as well as the Ning family, Meng family, Zhang family, Cheng family, etc., so my disciple guessed that Yan Tao was buying insurance for Yan Yanting in case something happened to him."
"Because Yantao knows that what Yan Yanting did will cause a murder once discovered, so he invites a top master to come back not only to protect Yan Yanting, but also to cover up what Yan Yanting did, so that the Broken Sword can do something like killing and silencing?" Cao Zhuo said with a smile, but then laughed.
Zhuifeng looked puzzled: "Master, why are you laughing at?"
"My Xiaoyan family is so good at hiring people. They don't invite those who should be invited, but they don't invite those who should not be invited."
As early as the Feng Wuying and Yun Wuzhi, Yu Meiren became the eldest prince's personal guard, Cao Zhuo investigated the quarterfinals of Luoyang.
"Shouldn't they ask for a broken sword?" Zhuifeng was confused.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. You must remember this sentence. Master tells you that Duan Jian has a chivalrous heart and has never killed innocent people. He would rather starve than bully the weak and eat a tyrant meal. So if Yan Yanting really plunders the women in the city, and Duan Jian is by Yan Yanting, it is undoubtedly the Yan family digging their own graves. Seeing such beastly behavior, Duan Jian will definitely be unable to hold back and rescue the captured women. On the contrary, I think the Yan family should invite the Yan family, and only the Zheng Qiankun will be in vain with them."
"Master, why do you know so clearly?" Zhuifeng admired Cao Zhuo even more deeply.
"There are two points. One of the eldest princes is the quarterfinals of Luoyang, so they must be investigated. Secondly, the quarterfinals of Luoyang were indirectly involved in the bloody purge of the Jinyiwei in the capital. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened at that time. None of the Jinyiwei survived." Cao Zhuo said with a look of grief and anger.
"Sir, I'm not doing well, I'm not doing well." The Jinyiwei outside hurriedly ran in and interrupted Zhuifeng who was about to speak.
Seeing his subordinates' panic look, Zhuifeng looked unhappy: "What's the matter? Is it so panic?"
"Sir, something happened, the eldest prince's VIP Tianyinke was severely damaged."
"What?" Cao Zhuo suddenly stood up and rushed out like an arrow.
Seeing this, Zhuifeng didn't care about anything else and rushed out immediately.
As soon as Cao Zhuo and Zhuifeng arrived at the gate, they saw a delicate woman covered in blood, struggling to carry Tian Yinke on her back, and there were obvious blood stains along the way, and Tian Yinke was still dripping with blood.
Cao Zhuo took a quick step and directly grabbed Tian Yinke from Yu'er's back. He was about to take it into the inn to heal his wounds, but he was stunned because he saw that Tian Yinke's left arm was missing.
In the inn, Zhuifeng treated Tian Yinke's wounds and stopped the bleeding for Tian Yinke's wounds.
At this time, Yu'er told Cao Zhuo everything he knew, but she had a vague impression that she suddenly fainted on the street and woke up and found that Tian Yinke was seriously injured.
Of course, Yu'er can't say some things, and she can't say that she has never been confused. She is watching the development of everything? In this way, will she be exposed?
Cao Zhuo looked at Zhuifeng who was walking over and asked, "What's the injury?"
"The arrow is injured, and there is probably only one person who has such powerful arrows."
Cao Zhuo smiled contemptuously: "Arrow of Death, Yan Tao."
"Formal." After Zhuifeng answered, he heard the messy voice outside the inn and frowned and said, "They wouldn't be bold enough to chase here, are they?"
Cao Zhuo suddenly had a flash of killing intention in his eyes: "Let's go and see what Yan Tao is doing."
After walking out of the inn, Cao Zhuo and Zhuifeng saw a large number of White Tiger Sword Guards surrounding the inn.
The White Tiger Guard followed the bloodstains on the road to find the inn.
Yan Tao, who had changed a mount, looked at Cao Zhuo without saying anything. Instead, Yan Changdi, the general of the White Tiger Guard, bowed to Cao Zhuo: "Sir Cao, we are arresting the murderer. I hope we can go to the inn to investigate, but unexpectedly, you were blocked by your Jinyiwei. I hope Master Cao can make it easier."
"Oh? What kind of murderer is arrested? Why has I never heard of it?" Cao Zhuo stared at the other party with a stern face.
Before Yan could speak, Yan Tao immediately pointed at Cao Zhuo and roared: "Who is surnamed Cao, do you want to shelter the criminal?"
"I don't know, what criminals I have covered up? Can you please let Commander Yan explain it?" Cao Zhuo stared at Yan Tao without fear.
"What criminal? It's a murderer, and it's the murderer who killed my son. It won't take long for my father to come and kill the murderer. I hope you, Cao Zhuo, don't get in the way, otherwise you will be unable to imagine the consequences." Yan Tao knew that his name could not suppress Cao Zhuo, so he also brought out Yan Feng's name.
Yan Yanting died? Hey, well died.
Cao Zhuo turned his head and looked at Zhuifeng and smiled, "I'm right, any case with my brother can be easily solved."
Zhuifeng looked even more admirable: These two brothers are too powerful, right? I checked so long before I checked the source of Xiang Yan's family, but Tian Yinke only came for a few days? He killed the murderer directly, which was simply neat.
"I wonder why Tian Yinke killed Mr. Ling?" Cao Zhuo wanted to know. Although he guessed, he still heard it with his own ears.
"Why? The Hidden Ke was a beast that day. When he saw the beautiful female servant beside the dog, he was distorted. If he failed to rob, he would draw his sword and kill someone. Such a person should be punished for death." Yan Tao said everything in a decisive way, but he did not expect that Yan Tao would subvert the facts and in turn falsely accuse Tian Hidden Ke.
