"Knock knock!" "Knock knock!"

A sharp knock echoed before dawn, a violent sound echoing through the silence of the Imperial City.

The occupants of the room were awakened by such a strong knock on the door, and a woman pushed the man who was sleeping soundly next to her, "Go and see who it is?" ”

The man was pushed awake, very impatient, and reluctantly got up and put on his clothes. He picked up the oil lamp he had just lit and prepared to open the courtyard door.

"Who?" He yawned, very upset.

At this time, there was still a knock on the door, isn't it about to dawn? Is it dawn?

As soon as he pulled the deadbolt and opened the door, the man was immediately startled. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he looked closely, his legs and stomach trembled.

"Poor, bad! This, this ......" The man couldn't even speak, he felt that his knees were weak, and if he hadn't been holding on to the door frame, he would have almost fallen to his knees.

With the faint light of the oil lamp, the man saw that there were four or five poor men standing outside the door. They were all armed with knives and fierce expressions.

The man couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground. He didn't expect that early in the morning, before dawn, he would see these ** as soon as he opened the door.

He recognized the clothes on these people, and he had also joined in the excitement of those big officials who had raided their homes before, and he had seen them from afar, how could he be mistaken?

One of the officials was holding a dossier, and he shouted to the man: "Are you the head of the household, Chen Erniu? ”

As soon as Chen Erniu heard his name, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes!" Be! ”

"The head of the household, Chen Erniu, a family of three, spouse Wang Cuihua, eldest son ......"

"Tell all of your family to come out and stay in the courtyard for us to investigate. Hurry up, don't delay our time. The official frowned coldly and shouted at Chen Erniu.

Chen Erniu was still stunned on the spot, and his heart was worried.

Seeing this, the official scolded loudly again, only then did Chen Erniu come back to his senses, and quickly got up and ran into the house.

Such a situation happened at the same time in many households in the capital, and for a while, the quiet imperial city began to become noisy like a giant beast that was woken up.

There was a carriage parked at the corner of Nancheng Street, and it was driven by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

"My lord! Would you like to go back and rest? I didn't sleep all night, and even my iron body couldn't bear it. Ming Yan turned back to Gu Chengyu and said.

Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead and came back to his senses from his contemplation.

"Just wait here! If there is any change, they can report it to me at any time. ”

Gu Chengyu will appear here, which is naturally related to the prince's order. The prince handed over the plan of the search and arrest to him, in fact, he was also very helpless, this was not the duty of the officials of Dali Temple.

It's just that since the prince has already given the order, he naturally can't disobey.

The prince divided a part of the guards and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Command Department to him, and these people temporarily obeyed Gu Chengyu's orders.

And transferred two officials in Dali Temple to assist him in handling the case, these two people are acquaintances, one is Jiang Shaohua of the right temple of Dali Temple, and the other is Peng Fang of the left temple.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent, before Jiang Shaohua and Ying Xuan, the deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, went to his mansion to search, and it was for the fraud of the imperial examination.

Now it's him who takes them to other people's homes to search and give them orders. Therefore, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!

Don't do anything too much, who knows what will happen in the future?

These people have been dominated by Gu Chengyu, and they have to work when they come.

After thinking about it, Gu Chengyu thought of the assassin. This kind of search may be rewarding, but it does not take a lot of time. If someone leaks the news, those people will flee after hearing the news, which will make it difficult to search and arrest.

But Gu Chengyu's move was not to find an assassin, but to verify whether what he thought was correct.

He wants to see how many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have come to the capital in the past few days.

What do these people want to do when they are hiding in the capital? As for those assassins, Gu Chengyu had other plans.

Isn't there still Xue Miao in hand? I just don't know if Xue Miao is still useful now. Looking at Daxing's recent movements, it seems to be very rampant, perhaps because there has been great progress in deployment.

Could it be that the power of these people has infiltrated all over the court? Could it be that the person who colluded with Daxing was only Xia Qing?

Therefore, the task of hunting down the Assassins is very important, and if some information can be extracted from these people, then Dayan will not be so passive.

In fact, according to his thoughts, that is, Xia Qing will be strictly interrogated, and Xia Qing must know a lot of inside stories. It's a pity that the prince has other plans for Xia Qing, and he is still hesitating at the moment.

If you wait for Daxing to gradually corrode the court, will it be too late then? Disintegrating from within alone has improved the odds of victory quite a bit.

If you come back to the outside, then Dayan will be attacked by the enemy, which is really dangerous!

Gu Chengyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, since Daxing moves frequently in Dayan, what about that side? Will there be any changes compared to the past?

I'm afraid that the border war is about to start!

Thinking about it like this, Gu Chengyu was a little uneasy. But if you say that, whether the prince and the ministers will believe it is still up for debate.

Besides, the border pass is not far from the capital, even if there is any change, when the people sent to convey the news come, I don't know how much time has passed.

For now, I can only wait for the reply from the senior brother. No matter how anxious Gu Chengyu is, he can only wait for Yin Kun's news.

......

"Girl, there are officers and soldiers outside the house who are searching from house to house, and I don't know what happened. Did they find out that we had come to the capital? Could it be coming? ”

When Tan's mother heard the sound coming from outside the house, she had the courage to open the courtyard door and observe the movement outside.

When she heard that someone from the Soldiers and Horses Division was searching, Tan's mother was so frightened that she immediately entered the house and reported to her girl.

Liu Su'er was also a little nervous when she heard this, but then she thought about it, more than ten years have passed since this incident, and they didn't act rashly after they came to the capital, how could there be officers and soldiers to search for them?

So these people knock on the door from house to door, and it should have nothing to do with their own house. She thought of the emperor's death yesterday, perhaps related to this incident.

In fact, the emperor died suddenly yesterday, and although she was shocked, she was still relieved. When the new emperor ascends the throne, she has hope.

"Yes! Girl, I'm afraid that these people are not good, will we have been detected by the other party? Uncle Qin was also worried, and he was a little flustered.

"It shouldn't be here to search for us, Uncle Qin and Mother Tan don't worry, don't panic, so as not to show your feet. We just have to cooperate with them to search and arrest them, and don't act rashly. ”

After Liu Su'er pacified the two, she tidied up her clothes.

His eyes glanced at the floor tiles under the pedal on the side of the kang, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he looked away.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door! Raid by the Division of Soldiers and Horses! There was a sharp knock at the door, accompanied by a scolding.
