Chapter 184 Cunning
Zhao Tong just frowned slightly, and then chased Lianaza in the direction in which she fled.
Liyanaza thought he was going to kill Tian Biao alive and was tied up by it, but she didn’t know that in Zhao Tong’s heart, killing her was far more important than catching Tian Biao!
As we chased all the way, we saw almost no pedestrians. It was a remote and quiet place, and even the Imperial Army rarely came to patrol.
Liyanaza looked back and couldn't help but secretly wonder. Although she didn't know that Tian Biao and others had been killed by Zhao Tao, she also knew that she had made a mistake. She didn't expect that Zhao Tao had such a strong desire to kill her.
Zhao Tong held the dagger upside down in his hand, and his footwork became faster and faster. He discovered that Dai Zong's Shadowless Walk of God and Shi Qian's Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts actually had something in common with each other. The two were confirmed, and it seemed that they could be integrated into a new martial art.
.
Just when he had some realization, a "pop" sound suddenly came from ahead.
Zhao Tong was slightly startled and his face turned cold. In front of him was Cai He!
This section of Cai River outside the city is close to the east of the city, flowing from north to south, passing Tianqing Temple all the way, and then flowing out of Tokyo City from Puji Water Gate.
If there is any way to leave here when the city gates of Tokyo are closed and the city walls are heavily fortified, it is to take the waterway and leave the city through the water gate!
There are four rivers in Tokyo, namely the Bian River, the Cai River, the Wuzhang River, and the Jinshui River. These four rivers flow through the city and provide water transportation to various places. They are called the Four Water Canals.
After these four rivers leave the city, they intersect with the dragon river that protects the city, and then go into the distance.
The water gates in Tokyo City include Guangli Water Gate, Puji Water Gate, East Water Gate, Northeast Water Gate, West Water Gate, Northwest Water Gate, etc. Guangli Water Gate and Puji Water Gate are the largest water gates in Tokyo City, and Cai River leads out of the city in front.
Puji Watergate.
Puji Water Gate can be accessed by large boats. Things on the river and water gate leakage inspections belong to the Sipai'an Division. The Sipai'an Division was originally under the command of the Third Division. After Yuanfeng's restructuring, the Third Division was abolished and merged into the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then returned to Sinong Temple.
p>
The Forbidden Army also has the power to command Watergate, so Watergate is a place under dual jurisdiction.
The affairs investigated by the Water Gate of Sipai Banks include smuggling of weapons and armor, prohibited items, and tax calculations. The amount is large and arduous every day. Moreover, they not only have the jurisdiction to investigate leaks, but also have sailors, ships and prisons, so the imperial army has no control over them.
The management of the water gate is very lax, and most of it is delegated to the Si Pai Bank Bureau. If the Si Pai Bank Bureau wants to check for leaks, it needs to conduct an inspection, which is similar to the inspection at the land gate.
Although there are sailors in the Imperial Guards Palace and the Imperial Guards Division, on the one hand, how can sailors be really useful in Gyeonggi Province? On the other hand, they are not familiar with some water-transported goods and taxes. It is not in wartime anymore.
In a semi-letting-go state.
When Zhao Tong thought of this, he secretly cried out in his heart. Although Shuimen was closed to traffic at night and was guarded by sailors, the imperial army was delegated to the four platoons of shore officers. How could the four rows of shore officers really take on the responsibility of guarding the water? It was fine on the water.
I really can’t stand it!
Nowadays, the weather has warmed up early. The water surfaces of the four rivers in Tokyo have melted and the water flows. Although the river water may be bitterly cold, it may not be unbearable for martial arts practitioners. Winter swimming can be done, not to mention it is not winter anymore!
Zhao Tong quickly ran to the Cai River and saw another person in front of him. With the light of the sparse lanterns on the river bank, he saw a pile of clothes thrown on the ground. It was exactly what Liya Nazha was wearing before. He picked up a pile of clothes.
Look, there is still fragrance and warmth left on it, obviously it was taken off not long ago.
Is this... wearing a water cushion underneath? Zhao Yan looked at the water and raised his eyebrows. Obviously Liyanaza had been prepared for it. It was very likely that he wore a water cushion under his clothes. The water cushion was fish skin, sea dragon skin or shark skin.
The one-piece watersuit has a smooth surface and is warm, allowing you to swim underwater faster and for a longer time.
If Liyanaza really went through the water, then even if he went into the water now, he would not be able to catch up. As for rushing to Puji Water Gate now, it is probably useless. After all, Liyanaza cannot be defended underwater. If Liyanaza comes from
Shuimen left the city and entered the Dragon-protecting River. If the river branched, it would be impossible to trace it.
There are no fewer than hundreds of large and small rivers in the Uighur area, including the Ile River, the Boletala River, the Altaqi River, etc. It is entirely possible to say that Liyanaza is proficient in water.
Zhao Tong stood by the river with a gloomy expression. He didn't expect that the Third Falcon Princess would run away again this time. This woman is cunning and cunning. If she is not eliminated, she will be a disaster sooner or later.
Zhao Tong glanced at the clothes, bunched them together, then tied a knot and carried it in his hand.
He couldn't leave his clothes on the shore. What if Lianaza didn't leave the city and just hid in the water and swam back later? He couldn't keep waiting by the river.
If she escaped from the city, with Liya Naza's skills, it would be easy to go to the farmers' village to steal clothes. If she hadn't left... wouldn't it be convenient for her to leave the clothes on the shore? The inside of Tokyo is not as easy to rob as it is outside.
Zhao Tong stood quietly on the shore for about a quarter of an hour. Seeing that there was really no movement on the water, he slowly left.
He returned to Suiyulou first. By then, the fire in the lantern market had been put out, and Fang La and his party fled in a hurry without causing any big losses.
Seeing that nothing was going on here, Zhao Tong went to the Fusi again. At this time, the lights in the Fusi were bright, and Tan Zhen was walking around in the middle of the ground. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly saluted.
After asking, Zhao Tong learned that in addition to the incident at the lantern market on Zhuque Street, there was also a fire at Baotou, and two people even died. It has been chaotic for a while, and now everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is there to deal with the aftermath.<
/p>
Zhao Tong said: "How about the Zhouqiao side?"
Tan Zhen looked a little weird when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, nothing big happened at Zhouqiao, but..."
"But what?" Zhao Tong frowned.
"But Huang Gu captured a woman over there. According to him, she was a female thief who planned to destroy the lantern market." Tan Zhen said with a bitter smile: "But there is no evidence, and I haven't seen any other accomplices."
"Female snitch..."
"Yes, my lord, Huang Gu insisted that this woman was a thief who came to destroy the lantern market. The woman scolded Huang Gu all the way, saying things like robbing civilian girls, but Huang Gu didn't reply."
"Oh? Where is he now?" Zhao Tong knew that Huang Gu might not have arrested the wrong person. Even if there was no evidence, there should be suspicion.
"The interrogation is in the Xiaowei Hall on the left, but nothing should be asked, otherwise I would have come back long ago." Tan Zhen said.
"You wait here for news from Kaifeng Mansion. I'll go over and have a look." After Zhao Tong finished speaking, he walked out.
The Xiaowei Hall is a place for interrogation by the Guards and Military Division. It is not a torture hall and there are no torture instruments. It is impossible for the Guards and Military Division to set up a torture hall.
Walking into the Xiaowei Hall, Zhao Tong saw Huang Guzheng sitting on a chair with a pale face. There was a woman tied up in front of him, but she was beautiful and somewhat heroic. Even though she was tied up at the moment, Tied to the ground, but not afraid, he was denounced Huang Gu's crimes.
"Young official, you are shameless and obscene, your methods are cruel, you rob civilian girls, if you have the ability, kill me now!"
Zhao Tong saw something was wrong. Is this Huang Gu interrogating the woman, or is the woman interrogating Huang Gu?
He coughed lightly, and Huang Gu realized it and stood up quickly and said: "Young Master!"
Zhao Tong walked over and waved to the soldiers waiting in the room to go out and secure the door, then he said: "What's going on?"
With an angry look on his face, Huang Gushen recounted the story of how he met a crowd of people in Zhouqiao Deng City and died, how he had a disagreement with this woman, and how he finally found out that it was a snitch. Read the book
Zhao Tong looked at the scars on his shoulders and arms and said, "Is this girl good at using flying stones?"
Huang Gudao: "The stones are extremely accurate, and they can hit the target 100 times, and there are many tricks."
Zhao Tong looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "So you were injured?"
Huang Gu looked ashamed: "Sir, this girl runs too fast. If you don't resist a few times, she will be slowed down by her stones, making it difficult to catch her."
Zhao Tong nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but what does this young lady mean when she keeps saying shameless and obscene things?"
Huang Gu was stunned and said hurriedly: "She was such a mouthful, but I didn't touch her!"
"When did I say you touched her?" Zhao Tong shook his head, walked over and looked at the woman up and down.
Huang Gu looked embarrassed and followed him.
The woman was Ying Niang. When she saw another person coming, and her tone seemed to be that of her boss with thick eyebrows, she couldn't help but earn a few bucks and said: "You corrupt officials, let me go quickly, otherwise as long as I get out alive, I will die." Sue the emperor, sue you dog officials!"
Zhao Tong said: "Do you want to file a complaint?"
Yingniang said: "I just want to file a complaint!"
Zhao Tong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "How is Tian Hu?"
"Ah?!" Yingniang was stunned when she heard this. What is this dog official talking about?
Zhao Tong repeated: "Is Tian Hu okay?"
Ying Niang suddenly panicked in her heart. If the other party really knew that she was under Tian Hu's command, even death would be a luxury, and she might have to suffer some torture.
Huang Gu was also surprised at this time. He didn't expect that this little thief was actually from Tian Hu's side. He hurriedly said: "I said that you, a little thief, are ruthless and not a good person. It turns out you are."
Rebel against thieves."
Ying Niang calmed down and said: "You dog officials are framing me. I don't know any tigers or cats. Don't spit on me!"
She was thinking secretly at this moment that the other party was definitely deceiving her randomly. Even if the people she was with were caught and confessed, but they were not brought over for identification and confrontation, how could she be sure that she was related to Tian Hu?
Zhao Tong then pulled a chair and sat down, and said calmly: "Your name is Qiu Qiongying?"
"What?" Ying Niang trembled when she heard this. How did this dog official know her name? Was she really betrayed? But it's still wrong. If she was betrayed and didn't identify her face to face, how could she know that she was Qiu Qiongying?
p>
"Stop thinking nonsense." Zhao Tong shook his head: "Your name is Qiu Qiongying, the goddaughter of Wu Li under Tian Hu's command, can you be named the princess?"
Yingniang was shocked and looked at Zhao Tong: "You, you..."
Huang Gu blinked at the side. He didn't expect that this little thief had such a background. It seemed that he had caught the right person. This little thief would definitely die.
"I'm not, you're talking nonsense!" Yingniang said through gritted teeth.
Zhao Tong looked at her and said slowly: "Qiu Qiongying, don't you want to avenge your father and kill Tian Hu?"
When Ying Niang heard this, she felt like a thunderbolt hit her body, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
