Yan Saburo thought for a long time:

"So, how do you deal with the aftermath of this incident?"

The death of the Elder of the Sha Sect in Anlai City is a big deal. If it is not handled well, Yu Yanlie and Yu Duanfang are very unfavorable.

"Then it's up to the regent. Duan Fang shrugged, "The decision is in his hands." ”

This is Anlai City, and the decision is of course in the hands of the actual rulers of the entire Xuanguo.

The two chatted a few more words, and Duan Fang seemed to vent all the emotions that had been held in his heart for a long time, and then said goodbye and went back.

Yan Saburo watched him walk back to his room, so he closed the door, carefully put away all the cups and cups used by the end, and discarded them.

Chitose looked funny: "So careful?"

"Luo Hongyu can poison Qiu Jiaojiao, and he can also poison other strangers, such as me. Yan Saburo said truthfully, "Since this thing appeared in Anlai, it is safer for us to start preparing an antidote." ”

"I see, it's not just you who doubt him. Chitose snorted, "The guards also came to the door to ask him about his relationship with Qiu Jiaojiao. It can be seen that Yan Lie is also suspicious. ”

But the young man knew that Duan Fang had a good relationship with anyone on the surface, even if Yan Lie sent a letter to the Sha Sect to find out Duan Fang and Qiu Jiaojiao's holiday, he might only find that they had a good relationship.

In the eyes of others, Duan Fang is almost a perfect person, and he has a good relationship with anyone. This is the case in the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce, and it is probably the same in the Shazong Sect.

"What if you are suspicious, the cause of Qiu Jiaojiao's death does not seem to be necessarily related to Duan Fang. Yan Saburo groaned, "Qiu Jiaojiao went from the prison to the palace, and the people and things he came into contact with were more suspicious than him. I believe that Yan Lie has reviewed every detail of this, and if he determines that Duan Fang is suspicious, Duan Fang will not appear in Mingyue Tower at this time. ”

"The most important thing is-" The young man tapped his fingertips twice on the table, "What good can it do to kill Qiu Jiaojiao?"

If there is no motive, it is difficult to establish the fact that the end side killed someone.

Naturally, Chitose can't answer this question.

The direct purpose of Duanfang's trip was to help Qiu Jiaojiao rescue Bujilun. Now Mo said that Bu Jilun is dead, Qiu Jiaojiao himself is gone, his mission can be said to be a failure, he doesn't know how to deal with it when he goes back, and he may even miss the throne of Yunxiu Peak.

So, what reason did he have to kill Qiu Jiaojiao?

"No solution!" Chitose changed the subject and urged him, "It's getting dark, think about which restaurant to order for the night!"

You can't go out, but you have to eat and drink well.

In the past two days, the patrol during the day and the curfew at night in Anlai City have become stricter. There are also many spies walking around the streets in regular clothes, such as Jin Yu and Hu Qiu, who can be seen at a glance.

It was an eventful season, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for them to carry the Jade Concubine.

......

Before it got dark, Duan Fang went out to eat.

Qiu Jiaojiao was dead, so he dined alone, and found a window position on the second floor of the Howard Johnson Restaurant by the small lake in Anlai City, eating vegetables and drinking while watching the red men and green women coming and going.

The exhaustion of the past few days has been swept away.

He ate and drank very slowly, refilled the wine twice and added another dish halfway, and when he was full of food and drink, the guests in the restaurant were basically gone.

Moving back to the first floor, the guys were scrubbing the tables in the hall, and the shopkeeper was crackling and counting the day's gains.

"Checkout. He put the silver on the counter.

The shopkeeper reached out to get it, only to find that there was a piece of paper pressed under the silver, folded into small square corners.

"To your host. Duanfang's voice was as thin as a gnat.

The shopkeeper retracted his hand and smiled all over his face: "Thank you for your patronage, I found you thirty yuan." ”

"No need to look for it. Duan Fang patted the counter and turned to leave.

The Elder of the Sha Sect died in Anlai.

Although this matter was tightly covered by King Xuan's court and did not reach the people, the common people could also feel that something was wrong with An Laicheng recently.

Life in the neighborhood went on as usual, but the atmosphere gradually became tense and stagnant, and some gossip generally spread in the market, such as the fall of another group of officials, the failure to suppress the uprising in the south, and so on.

After seven days, another blockbuster exploded in Anlai City, causing layers of repercussions:

Qingzhi Town Uprising!

Over the years, the Duo people's rebellion against the Xuan Dynasty has never stopped, and riots have occurred from time to time in various places. In the past, the wind and rain in Xuanguo were smooth for many years, and the people had food at the worst, so the response was not very enthusiastic. But after the artifact stele was stolen, locust plagues, floods, and plagues all appeared in just half a year, as if to make up the share of arrears in previous years at one time.

At this point, the people's will began to be unstable. In addition, the friction between the Tong Yuan clan and the Duo and Xi clans has never subsided, and the rebellion has a foundation.

The Tong Yuan clan sent troops and exterminated them several times.

However, Qingzhi Town is only more than ten miles away from Anlai City, and it can be regarded as the hinterland of Xuanguo.

An uprising so close to the capital would be tantamount to a stab in the heart of the people, and the damage and impact would be unusual.

What made the royal court even more angry was that the riot had no warning, and the officials did not catch any signs in advance.

Jin Yu and the others mixed in the market, and listened to the outsiders talk about what they had seen before entering the city, saying that the rebel army had 5,000 people, and the armament was very well-armed.

"Qingzhi Town?" Chitose remembered that his group still walked from Qingzhi Town to Anlai City, and it was only a few days before the town rioted?" Where's their equipment, you say?"

Most of the rumors in the market are exaggerated, saying that there are 5,000 people, but in fact one or two thousand is not bad. But it didn't have to come without cause, and the rebels were at least better equipped than ever.

The most direct reasons why civilian uprisings are easily suppressed are nothing more than two reasons: ordinary people who have no militarized training, who are just a rabble, and whose weapons are too rudimentary to fight with officers and soldiers.

Now the townspeople of Qingzhi have armor, knives and guns in addition to hoes and shovels, and their combat effectiveness has at least increased a lot. Civilians don't always have these in their hands, they must be secretly sponsored by someone.

That's why Chitose said that the rebellion was premeditated.

"The concealment and smuggling of the Duo. Don't forget, there has always been a hidden force in Anlai City. Yan Saburo gave two possibilities, "Or, there is an outsider to help." ”

He went on to analyze: "The key is why Qingzhi Town rebelled? There is a reason why uprisings generally do not break out near the national capital, and it is easy to be exterminated if they are trapped in the hinterland and alone. ”

If the rebellion is not a one-time accident on the blood, then where is it not good to choose, but Qingzhi Town?

On this day, Duanfang came back, and Chitose asked Yan Saburo to ask him.
