Chapter 491

Bang! The man was kicked out by Tang Yin like a cannonball, his body drew a long arc in the air, and fell straight to the bottom of the house.

But before his body landed on the ground, suddenly, a spiritual wave flashed in the shadow in front of him. This spiritual wave came too fast and too suddenly. Not to mention that the man in black was kicked by Tang Yin and was unconscious at this time, even if he was in his prime, he might not be able to dodge it.

There was a sound of "plop" in the ear, and the man in black was swept firmly on the chest by this spiritual wave. With a muffled sound, his body was cut in half, the upper and lower parts separated, and each fell far away, blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

When Tang Yin caught up to him, the man in black had already died. Looking around, there was no one on the dark and quiet path. The spiritual wave that killed the man in black seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Tang Yin watched for a long time, but didn't feel the presence of any enemies nearby. He lowered his head and looked at the corpse on the ground, frowning secretly. The black-clothed man's cultivation was not bad, but he could be split in two by the other party's spiritual wave, and it was relatively far away. His cultivation must be higher, but why did he kill him? Was he afraid that he would fall into his hands, so he killed him to silence him?

This is a very cruel method! Tang Yin squinted his eyes, but he couldn't hide the bright green light in his eyes. Since the black-clothed man was dead, his soul burning was no longer useful. Tang Yin squatted down and carefully turned over the bloody corpse, hoping to find some clues, but to his disappointment, he didn't find anything, not even a piece of silver or copper coin.

Tang Yin pulled out his handkerchief, wiped his hands helplessly, and stood up. At this time, he wanted to chase the other three fleeing black-clothed men, but it was impossible. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard messy footsteps from the end of the alley, as if a large number of people were running towards this side.

He reacted very quickly, immediately used Shadow Drift, flashed to the roof, and then crawled in a dark corner, silently watching who was coming.

Not long after, more than a hundred Beijing officers and soldiers ran from the end of the alley. After arriving at the scene, they saw the corpses on the ground and shouted.

Seeing that the people coming were officers and soldiers, not the assassins who assassinated him, Tang Yin was not interested in watching any more. He rubbed back a few times, used Shadow Drift, and flashed out.

Tang Yin was not stupid, on the contrary, he was smarter than most people. After a little analysis in his mind, he understood the general situation. No one knew that he had come to Shangjing. Even if he had enemies, they would not be able to chase him to Shangjing. Since someone was willing to take the risk to assassinate him, and they were all dark spiritual practitioners, it was most likely related to the thieves in the small town of Anguo. It can be seen that the identity of the thief must be extraordinary. He was extremely brave to kill people under the feet of the emperor. In addition, the iron plate he picked up must be related to important clues.

Maybe Le Tian had guessed it right. Shenchi was secretly cultivating dark spiritual practitioners to do some shady things for Shenchi.

If this was true, things would be troublesome. Tang Yin sighed secretly. He didn't want to cause trouble or publicize this matter, but would the people of Shenchi believe it? If the other party believed it, they would not be in a hurry to kill him. It seemed that he would have more troubles in the future! Thinking of this, he was not afraid, but laughed out loud. Since the trouble had already been caused and it came to his door, he couldn't hide, but there was nothing to be afraid of. He also wanted to see what other abilities the people of Shenchi had.

The horse had been stabbed to death by the assassin, and there were soldiers on the scene. Tang Yin could only ignore it and walk back to the inn.

There were no more accidents along the way this time. When he returned to the inn, it was already dark. Letian, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lu were waiting anxiously in the room, scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, and kept walking back and forth.

Finally, Tang Yin came back, and the eyes of the three of them lit up, and their hearts that had been raised to their throats finally fell back. They came up to him at the same time and asked, "Sir, why did you come back so late?" Tang Yin smiled and said lightly, "Something happened on the way, so I was delayed for a while." After saying that, he saw that Letian, Jiang Fan, and Jiang Lu looked a little abnormal, and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen while I was away from the inn?" "This..." Jiang Lu grinned and didn't answer immediately. Letian gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and came to Tang Yin's side. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Sir, I just received news that something happened in Yancheng." "What?" Tang Yin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked in a serious tone, "What happened in Yancheng?" "Sir, please look, this is what my brothers just sent from Yancheng." Letian said, and handed a piece of letter paper to Tang Yin. The letter paper was not big, but it was densely packed with words, and there were also abbreviated words commonly used by Tianyan personnel. Looking at it coldly, the sentences were not complete and the words were not complete.

How could Tang Yin understand this? He threw the letter back to Le Tian and said expressionlessly: "Read it to me." "Yes! Sir!" Le Tian took the letter and read it out in detail.

Tang Yin was the commander of the Tianyuan Army and controlled the military power of Feng Country. His departure could not be concealed. Soon, the news of Tang Yin's retreat spread. Wu Yu was the happiest person to learn about this. He wanted to use the opportunity of interrogating Zhong Tian to eliminate dissidents and weaken Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun's party members in the court. With Tang Yin around, he still had some concerns and did not dare to do too much, but now that Tang Yin was gone in retreat, Wu Yu had no more concerns and could do whatever he wanted.

On the night when he learned that Tang Yin had gone into seclusion, Wu Yu went to interrogate Zhong Tian overnight and forced Zhong Tianxia to give two confessions. The two confessions were directed at Peng Cheng of "Taicang" and Luo "Du Nei" Hua said that these two people often had secret contacts with Zhong Tian and colluded with each other.

Both Taicang and Du Nei were subordinate officials in charge of Su Neishi. Wu Yu targeted Peng Cheng and Luo Hua just because he wanted to involve Zhang Xin, who was in charge of Su Neishi. However, being in charge of Su Neishi was not a small official. He is responsible for the country's agriculture, agricultural taxes, crops, etc., and his official position is second only to the prime minister. So Wu Yu first attacked Peng Cheng and Luo Hua, firstly as a test, and secondly so that he could unseat Zhang Xin in the future.

Zhang Xin is Liang Xing's confidant and the one with the highest and most powerful position around Liang Xing. Wu Yu has long disliked him and regarded him as a thorn in his side. However, he has never been able to catch Zhang Xin. Now he is better. , he can use Zhong Tian's trump card to make a big fuss.

After getting the evidence from Zhong Tian, ​​Wu Yu immediately went to Qiu Zhen, handed the two confessions to Qiu Zhen for review, and asked him to mobilize the army to capture Peng Cheng and Luo Hua.

Now that Tang Yin is away, Qiu Zhen doesn't want to cause trouble. He thinks it's best to spend this period of time peacefully. Everything will be settled when Tang Yin comes back. But he can't stand Wu Yu's repeated persuasion. It seems that Wu Yu He is determined to capture Peng Cheng and Luo Hua.

The official positions of Qiu Zhen and Wu Yu were very different, and the most important thing was that they had a relationship with Wu Mei. In the end, Qiu Zhen was tortured by Wu Yu and had no choice but to nod and agree to capture Peng and Luo. In his opinion, these two people were both minor officials, and with the testimony provided by Zhong Tian, ​​it would not be a big deal if they were arrested.

But this time Qiu Zhen was careless and oversimplified things.

That night, Qiu Zhen transferred a regiment from the Pingyuan Army and handed it over to Wu Yu to assist Wu Yu in capturing Peng and Luo. Wu Yu was overjoyed. He divided the 10,000 plain troops into two waves. One wave was led by himself, and the other wave was handed over to his cousin Wu Bin. They went to the homes of Peng Cheng and Luo Hua separately, and sent the two waves He was captured and forced back into prison.

In Qiu Zhen's view, Peng Cheng and Luo Hua were just insignificant officials, but after the news of their arrest spread, it immediately caused panic among the ministers in the DPRK. Of course, Wu Yu's confidants had nothing to fear. On the contrary, each one was more happy than the other, feeling that now was the time for them to get ahead, while the other ministers were all frightened. Wu Yu could capture Peng and Luo Er with a piece of paper today. Man, will he use the same method to arrest him tomorrow? The ministers were unsure.

Peng Cheng and Luo Hua were even arrested. Their immediate boss, Zhi Su Nei Shi Zhang Xin, went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion overnight to complain to Liang Xing. Hearing this, Liang Xing was also very angry, but he had no choice but to do it. Wu Yu had the Tianyuan Army as his backer. He wanted power and people, so what did he have? There are only some servants and generals in the mansion, how can they compete with Wu Yu.

Seeing that Liang Xing didn't speak for a long time, his face turned red and white, and he shook his head and sighed, Zhang Xin became anxious and said in a trembling voice: "Liang Xing, haven't you understood the intention of that old man Wu Yu? On his surface The purpose is to arrest Peng Cheng and Luo Hua, but in fact it is me who you have to deal with! If you let it go, I will be captured by Wu Yu soon, and when Wu Yu cleans up everyone around Liang Xiang, Next... he will clean up Mr. Liang!" "Pa!" After hearing this, Liang Xing could no longer suppress his anger. He slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "How dare he? ? ” “Liang Xiang, do you think there is anything Wu Yu dares not do now? Zhong Tian is in his hands, and the Tianyuan Army is his backer. Now Wu Yu can just write a crime against the minister. What a crime! Mr. Liang, don’t you know Peng Cheng and Luo Hua? You wouldn’t dare to have an affair with Zhong Tian even if you gave them ten courages. Wu Yu’s alleged crime is that he framed Peng Cheng and Luo Hua out of thin air. I will be framed tomorrow, and the framed will be framed on Prime Minister Liang the day after tomorrow. Prime Minister Liang must not take it lightly, and must make arrangements early..." Liang Xing and Wu Yu have been ministers in the same palace for so long. Do you understand Wu Yu’s personality? Although Wu Yu is usually gentle and kind, it's because he didn't seize the opportunity. Once he gets the opportunity, he will be more vicious than anyone else. What Zhang Xin said is not alarmist, but it may really happen. occur.
