Chapter 49 The Golden Mask
Sure enough, as soon as the third watch of the night was over, Yuexian put on her clothes and hurried out. After seeing her go out, Zhao Weiming did not dare to hesitate, so he quickly put on his clothes and followed her out quietly. Although it was still dark at this time
, but the lights on the many painted boats on the Qinhuai River still illuminated the river like day. When I walked out of the attic, I saw that Yuexian had boarded a small boat. When Zhao Weiming quietly touched the bow of the boat, where he was
The boat was about ten feet away from the boat. When Zhao Weiming was thinking hard about how to catch up, another small boat stopped in front of him. A person on the boat whispered, 'If you want to catch up with the boat in front, please come up quickly!'
Zhao Weiming took a look and saw that it was the chief arrester of Bianjing City yesterday.
Then he said no more, raised his legs and jumped in. When he saw that the boat in front of him had reached the middle of the river, the man in charge didn't say much and just rowed hard to catch up. However, the boat in front of him did not go straight all the way. After about an hour,
When passing a fork, he suddenly turned the bow of the boat and turned into the fork. At this time, it was already a little bright. Worried about being discovered by the people on the boat, Zhao Weiming ordered his boat to pull with the boat in front.
After driving some distance, I started chatting with the chief catcher. From the conversation, I learned that the chief catcher's surname was Tie Mingzhan, and he was now working as an errand for the governor of Bianjing. Because of his proficiency in Shaolin Kung Fu, he was highly valued by the governor.
A few days ago, I suddenly received a mission from Prime Minister Fu Yin: He was asked to come to Jiangning to assist a big shot in investigating a murder case. When asked who the big shot’s name was, Prime Minister Fu Yin hesitated and only said that he was his master. Therefore, yesterday
When they met, Tie Zhan called Zhao Weiming his master. Asked again about today's events, Tie Zhan told Zhao Weiming that at dinner last night, a senior man came to him and asked him to prepare a small boat and wait near the boat on the Qinhuai River.
But there was no movement until the second watch. Unexpectedly, just after the third watch, he saw a woman hurriedly boarding a small boat, and Zhao Weiming followed closely. It was expected that Zhao Weiming was going to
When catching up with the boat in front, he hurriedly walked closer to help Zhao Weiming catch up with the boat. Because Tie Zhan was born on the bank of the Yellow River, he had been maneuvering boats when he was a child. Now he was able to row the boat quickly and steadily without any hesitation.
He followed the boat in front of him unhurriedly. At this time, the reeds on both sides of the river gradually became less and green lotuses began to appear. Tie Zhan quietly told Zhao Weiming: This is already the Taihu Lake area, nearly a hundred miles away from the Qinhuai River.
far away.
Seeing that it was already broad daylight, the boat in front was still rushing along. For fear of being discovered by them, Zhao Weiming leaned down and let Tie Zhan just walk between the lotus and the lotus to follow. About half an hour passed.
, seeing the boat in front stopped at a small island in the middle of the lake, after the woman on the boat came ashore, Tie Zhan also stopped the boat on the other side of the island in the middle of the lake. Then after Zhao Weiming landed, he continued to wait on the boat. Zhao
After Wei Ming landed on the island, he discovered that the island was not as small as he imagined. Not only was it quite large, but it also had lush forests and fragrant flowers. In the center of the island, a majestic palace rose from the ground. At first glance, it seemed a bit abrupt.
But upon closer inspection, Zhao Weiming discovered that this palace seemed somewhat similar to the Chengtian Palace in the imperial palace. What kind of place is this? And who built such a huge palace in this deserted place?
Zhao Weiming was filled with doubts for a moment. From a distance, he saw Yuexian walking towards the palace. Zhao Weiming quickly cast a spell and followed quietly. After Yuexian entered the palace, Zhao Weiming jumped on the roof again and found
Peeking inside through the skylight. Although this palace is quite similar to the palace building, because the skylight is not closed, not only the situation inside is clear at a glance, but also the people inside can be heard clearly. At this moment, Yuexian is talking to
One person spoke. I heard her say, "Your Majesty, I have finished what you told me. King Shou of Fangzhou and his masters have been killed by me in the Jiangning Mansion Restaurant!" But the man just said, "Hum."
"You have done an excellent job in this matter! It's just that there are many remnants of Taizu's lineage, and what you have eliminated is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to eliminate them all, it will take some time and more effort!"
'Who has such hatred for my Taizu's lineage? He insists on putting me to death? Zhao Weiming was surprised for a moment.
But because the man always had his back to Yuexian, although Zhao Weiming never saw his face, his voice left a deep impression on Zhao Weiming. This was a kind of neither male nor female, neither yin nor yin.
Yang's voice was different from that of ordinary people. After a while, the man said again, "Girls, don't be impatient, there is a great opportunity right now!" "What opportunity? Please make it clear, Lord!" Yuexian stepped forward and said eagerly. After hearing this, the man
Turning around and facing the moon, Xiandao said, "On the ninth day of this month, five days from now, the Empress Dowager Song will celebrate her eightieth birthday. At that time, many remnants of Taizu will definitely come to celebrate their birthdays; you only need to go to Caizhou, which they must pass by."
, Songzhou, Chenzhou and other places are ambushing them. As soon as they arrive, you will annihilate them in one fell swoop!' Only then did Zhao Weiming see clearly, and saw that the man was actually wearing a golden mask! Yuexian listened.
After he said this, he nodded and said, 'Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely kill all of them this time!'
The golden-masked man nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go! Go do your thing, don't let me down!" Yuexian followed the order and walked out. But before she reached the door, she suddenly turned back.
When he came back, the golden-faced man was stunned, "What else is there?" Yuexian paused and said seriously, "I just finished this time, I hope the Lord will not break his promise; it would be better if my eldest brother and nephew are returned to their slaves!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Seeing this, Zhao Weiming seemed to understand a little. It turned out that the golden-faced man used Yuexian's relatives as a threat to force her to commit so many tragedies. Now Yuexian's killer
The identity has been confirmed, and the person behind the scenes has been found out. The purpose of this trip can be said to have been achieved. Worried that the gold-faced man would notice his whereabouts, Zhao Weiming quietly followed the original route back to the docking place and boarded the boat.
From then on, Tie Zhan worked hard and moved forward with all his strength. Not long after he left, Zhao Weiming saw another small boat sailing out from the island in the distance and quickly headed to the opposite place. With a move in his heart, he and Tie Zhan
He quickly turned back to catch up. Not long after, he saw the small boat stopped in front of another small island in the lake. Following the same pattern, Tie Zhan rowed the boat to the other side and let Zhao Weiming go and investigate alone, while he was still on the shore.
Parked and waited. The island is still similar to the island in the middle of the lake; but it looks more deserted. Among the same lush trees, the clumps of weeds as tall as a person are even more unusually lush. Zhao Weiming first found a tall tree.
He jumped up and took a look. At dusk, he saw a figure hurriedly walking towards a bush. He quickly used his eyes to take a look, but found that there seemed to be a stone house looming behind the bush. The stone house was not big.
