Chapter 249 Thorough Investigation

Seeing that there was no possibility of catching anyone, the two of them stopped entangled, and their energy converged and fell to the ground.

Looking at Mingyue Tower, which was almost in ruins, Suzaku looked at it lightly and didn't care. He turned around and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Closed the city for strict investigation!" Xuanwu said concisely and concisely.

At this time, the usual smile on his face had disappeared without a trace, replaced by gloom and caution.

He waved his hand casually and shouted: "Come here!"

Two men in black walked out of Mingyue Tower, nodded and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Xuanwu took out his waist card from his arms and threw it to the two of them. He explained: "Go and call the Bianzhou magistrate, Tongzhi and Tongpan, and get a larger carriage by the way."

"Yes!" The two of them bowed and quickly disappeared into the night.

After the two of them walked away, Suzaku held the wall with one hand, "poof", and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you okay?" Xuanwu supported her and patted her back to comfort her.

She coughed several times, raised her hand to wipe the blood from her face, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I can't die yet, but I'm still seriously injured. That woman... her cultivation level is really high."

"Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise I would have died in her hands. I'll leave you to take care of the rest. I'll give it some time..."

"Don't worry." Xuanwu agreed.

Seeing Suzaku like this, it would be difficult even if he didn't want to work hard. You can't expect a bedridden person to take charge of the overall situation, right?

Fortunately, that kid is not dead, otherwise I don’t know how much trouble it could cause. Fortunately among misfortunes, Xuanwu thought.

The two stood for a while, and Suzaku felt sore all over. Xuanwu simply went into Mingyue Building to find two chairs, and took Zhao out on his back.

Zhao Jiu and Zhuque, who were half lying on the chairs, looked at each other. Although their bodies were covered in bloodstains and their hands and feet were weak, they still laughed.

It's so embarrassing, it's so embarrassing.

"I said, Lao Jiu, what do you think? You are bored and stroking the tiger's beard?" Suzaku turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jiu who looked like a puddle of mud, and joked.

And Zhao just raised his finger hard, shook it slightly from side to side, and said bitterly: "To be honest, I regretted it as soon as the door closed. There was no way, I really couldn't beat him! If he hadn't used some dirty tricks and delayed it a little Time is really gone.”

"Oh, I just want to slap myself when I think about it."

Xuanwu next to him was suppressing laughter from beginning to end, his eyes constantly glancing to the side to distract him. Unfortunately, it was of no use at all, and I still laughed out loud.

Fortunately, he had a smile on his face, so it was reasonable for him to laugh out loud.

"Who is he?" Zhao asked knowingly.

"Xuan, Xuanwu." Suzaku was also smiling, but his words were not smooth.

Oh, one of my own. Zhao put on an unattractive smile and said hello feebly: "Hello, hello, thank you for helping me. I am the ninth in the family, so just call me Laojiu."

"No matter what, let's call him Young Master Zhao. It sounds nicer." Xuanwu held Zhao Jiu's hand and smiled broadly.

This friendly look made Zhao suddenly suspicious. Mr. Zhao? This is the first time he has been called that. Could it be that this Xuanwu is of a lower rank than Suzaku?

It shouldn’t be, even if it’s low, it can’t be much lower. Why are you so polite?

He couldn't understand.

Seeing Xuanwu's face, Suzaku was about to say something, but was disturbed by the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Arriving at almost the same time as the prefect, Liu Tongzhi and Zhao Tongpan. Two of the three people rode in a carriage, and Zhao Tongpan rode a horse.

After getting off the horse and carriage, the three of them first saw Zhao Jue and Suzaku half lying on the chairs. The three of them looked at each other, doubting Dou Sheng. The imperial envoy Zhao and the beauty came out to admire the moon in the middle of the night. Why did you ask them to come over?

The one he used was the token used by Jin Yiwei to command his affairs. What are you doing? Beacon fire plays on the princes?

With doubts in their hearts, the three of them took a closer look and almost jumped in fright. Zhao was covered in mottled blood, and there was still fresh blood on his face.

This, this can't be an assassination, right?

"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, who are you?" He Zhifu swallowed and asked cautiously.

Zhao raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, just an assassination."

It’s true! He Zhifu's feet softened and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liu Tongzhi and Zhao Tongpan behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him.

He Zhifu pretended to be calm, looked around and found that there was no one else except a carriage parked nearby. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Sir, have you caught the assassin?"

"Hehehe, no." It was Xuanwu who answered him this time.

"This..." After having a meal with the prefect, I felt bitter in my heart. Isn't this a bad dish?

At this time, Xuanwu reached out to take the waist badge handed over by his subordinate and put it back in his arms. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao is fine. It's not Mr. Zhao, it's me who asked you to come."

The expressions of the three of them softened slightly. If only Zhao was the imperial envoy, their heads would be saved. He Zhifu bent down, bowed his hands and asked, "I don't know if you asked me to wait here. What do you have to say?"

Although the commanding officers of the Jinyiwei are not as good as the imperial envoys, it is easy to check and manipulate them, so the attitude must be humble.

Xuanwu rubbed his hands, still looking cheerful. But he said quite seriously: "Assassinating an imperial envoy is regarded as treason according to the laws of Daqi! Although Mr. Zhao is fine and the assassin has escaped, we have to investigate!"

"Yes, yes, we need to investigate! We need to investigate thoroughly!" The three people hurriedly agreed.

For them, it doesn’t matter whether they can do it or not, but their attitude must be in place.

“Okay!” Xuanwu put his hands behind his back and waved his hand, saying, “The assassin was injured by me, and he can’t run far, at least he can’t run out of the city! So, please, three adults, seal the city and conduct a thorough investigation!”

Seal the city? The three looked at each other, and no one could make up their minds. Isn’t the imperial envoy Zhao still alive? It’s hard for them to explain if they seal the city and don’t allow people to enter or leave!

Besides, there are so many people in Bianzhou now, and it’s hard for them to control them if they make trouble.

“This, this, this is not good, right? There are so many people in Bianzhou.” The three asked in unison, with embarrassed expressions.

Of course, Xuanwu could hear the meaning of their words. Isn’t it that they are afraid of not catching the assassin, and they are afraid of provoking those people in the city.

Really, they are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind.

"Don't worry, the city is not really closed. What I mean is that everyone who enters or leaves the city must be strictly searched. I will deal with those gangsters myself." Xuanwu said.

Now that it has come to this, they have no choice but to do it. After all, the assassination of the imperial envoy is not fake, and we have to investigate it.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and responded to the prefect: "Then we will mobilize troops now, and all places that can leave the city will be strictly guarded and searched carefully."
