The night in the imperial capital is always dangerous, and there are perverts lurking in the darkness. It is especially dangerous for girls to wander around the streets at night. The poor market is much quieter after nightfall, and only a few idle men are drinking in the tavern. Where the rich gather, night life has just begun, and the colorful lights are as bright as day.

The three female hunters who were forced by Duran to clean up the garbage in the alley behind the rich hotel did not do anything. But if they don't do anything, it doesn't mean that the garbage won't come to the door.

The three female hunters look good, but it's hard for the rich to think they are decent people when they appear here in the middle of the night. Seven out of ten women standing here at night are lovers of the rich, two are prostitutes, and one may be a lost outsider. But no matter what, they are all targets of bullying by the powerful.

"Beauty, beauty." The sharp-eyed people found three beautiful women standing on the street. Their clothes were completely different from those of prostitutes. They were refreshing and full of sexual interest.

Selyu's two mechanical arms were ready to move, but Esdeath was there, so she needed to wait for orders.

And a hint of excitement flashed in Hei Tong's eyes. It was obviously the first time she was teased, which made her feel novel. It would be best to wait until she had enough fun, and then go in with a white knife and a red knife.

The bloated nobleman obviously did not realize that the murderous aura of these three people was completely different from the smell of powder here. "Beauty, why are you standing in this cold wind? Why don't you come in here with me to drink and have fun? Isn't it fun?" When people drink too much, another personality will burst out. The servants serving the nobles swear that their masters have never been so gentle.

Esdeath smiled. She didn't want to play training games with Duran for a long time. "Let's go." She actually entered the hotel before the wretched fat noble.

As soon as you enter the hotel, the warm wind makes you drunk, which is a world of difference from the cold streets.

"Come on, serve the wine, the best wine. I won't leave until I'm drunk with these beauties today."

The waiter in the hotel saw the fat noble coming back, and he didn't dare to neglect him. He immediately led him into the private room and set up a new round of banquet.

Wine makes people brave, and the fat noble was already drunk. He was restless with the three beauties. He even asked the servants to go upstairs to open a room. He just waited for the beauties to eat and then he could fight for 900 rounds, 300 rounds for each person.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. The fat face of the noble twisted into a pig's head.

At Esdeath's command, the three of them started eating without courtesy. If they didn't eat for a day, they would soon become ghosts of starvation.

"Another girl is going to be unlucky." The young waiter said secretly behind his back.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of your life." The older waiter warned.

They all knew that this fat noble liked to abuse girls the most, and he liked to mix potions in food and drinks. The food they delivered was hijacked by the nobles' servants on the way, and then sent to the private room after tampering.

In the eyes of the young waiter, although the three girls were armed, they would probably not escape the hands of the nobles. What a pity.

The old waiter was numb, and it was also the fault of the three girls being too naive. How could they come in with the fat man who was obviously not a good person? Each family cleaned up their own snow. In addition to regret, the old waiter had no more kindness to care about what happened next.

The nobles' servants were waiting for orders outside the door, just waiting for the three inside to fall to the ground and then he would carry them upstairs, maybe he could take advantage of them in the process.

But the servant waited and waited, and waited for more than an hour, but did not wait for the master's order. Just when he decided to push the door, the people inside came out.

There were only three full women, but no master.

"Three ladies, please go slowly. I wonder if my master is satisfied with the hospitality?" He thought the master was drunk, so as a senior lackey, he had to help the master keep these lambs.

Unfortunately, the servant had no idea who was the lamb and who was the hunter.

He saw the blood in the box after passing the three people. It was caused by blood splashing on the wall.

The servant fell to the ground in fear, trembling all over, and finally shouted sadly: "My Lord——"

Everyone in the hotel was stunned. The servant's voice was like a lost mother, and it was even louder than the noise in the store. The waiter arrived at the first time. The tragic scene in the room was simply unbearable to look at. "Quick report to the Imperial Capital Security Department——"

A noble died. The hotel's foreman was sweating profusely. It seemed that his job could not be saved. He didn't know if he could save his life. No one dared to stop the murderer, because looking at the eyes of the female hunter was scary enough. He was afraid that if he was nosy, he would be killed immediately.

However, the foreman still remembered the appearance of the three people, so that he could have an explanation.

What happened in the room was no longer important. The important thing was that a noble died. Of course, this was a disaster for the hotel, but it was just a common occurrence for the security department.

"Do you remember the appearance of the murderer?" asked the cadre of the security department.

"Remember, remember, there are three women." The foreman said.

"Then describe them and draw their portraits." This kind of case is too common. If you can find the murderer, it's good. If you can't find it, just say that they were killed by a night raid. Don't handle it too simply.

The fat noble died of excessive blood loss after his aorta was cut open. The murderer cut quickly and viciously. It was most likely a night raid, and the cadres had already made up their minds.

It doesn't take much time to create three portraits. The empire has cultivated a group of painting masters who can accurately draw the faces of the people described by the witnesses.

They do look like three beauties, but they look familiar.

The cadre felt that he had seen these three people before. They looked familiar, especially the one with long hair.

Suddenly, the cadre suddenly had a bright idea and stood on his head with all the hair on his body. He felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and even the heater in the hotel could not keep him warm. He remembered that the long-haired woman in the portrait was General Esdeath? The white hair was dripping with sweat, "Are you sure it's these three people?"

"I'm sure, not only did I see it, but also the noble Lord's servants also saw it."

The servants of the nobles came running over and kept crying, asking the police to catch the criminals and avenge their masters. They had a lot of tears and runny noses, which was worse than the death of their own father.

"Stop crying, let me ask you, are these three people with your master?"

The servant wiped his face with his sleeve, took a closer look, and nodded, "They are these three vicious women. I will never forget them even if they turn into ashes."

Something bad is going on. This little guard officer doesn't dare to trouble Esdeath, but he has his own way of dealing with it: "Well, that's right, the three of them are the night raiders who have committed many murders in the imperial capital recently. , you must remember the faces of these three people, and if you encounter them on the street, report them to the security department immediately. "

Everyone shuddered. The night raid was specifically for killing people. The onlookers who didn't know the truth didn't know that the night raid was specifically for killing corrupt officials. In addition, the police force is often lazy and blames all the headless cases on night raids, which makes the masses even more afraid of night raids. It's just that I only heard his name before but never saw his person, but this time I saw him.

It turns out that the people who attack at night are quite cute, but no matter how cute they are, they are still killers.

"Do you all remember it?"

How dare you remember it? If you remember it, there is still a way to survive? They are killers. But everyone still nodded, since they wouldn't expose it anyway.

The security cadres knew exactly what everyone was thinking, and they wanted this effect. Anyway, these people have no chance to meet General Esdeath, so let them continue to misunderstand him like this. Next, destroy these three paintings, and you can go to work. The young cadre was impressed by his wit.

It's a pity that there is no such luck in the world, because Du Lan appeared. He was the popular man in front of the emperor, holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand. Don't the junior cadres know Du Lan and Shang Fang Baojian?

Besides, Dulan was accompanied by three people. Although the big man in the mask was scary, Will and Lan seemed to be upright and outstanding young people with great achievements. So as soon as Dulan stretched out his hand, the junior cadre handed the three portraits into Dulan's hand.

Sure enough, something happened, just as Dulan expected. Asking three female hunters to clean up a place where powerful people gathered was like throwing a piece of meat into the wolves. It would be strange if nothing happened. Dulan smiled meaningfully, showing the three portraits of the murderer, "Esdeath, Seliu, Heitong, you have let the little emperor down."

But Dulan's expression didn't look disappointed, instead he was quite happy. The male hunter felt shuddering when he looked at Duran. This was completely typical of fishing law enforcement.

"As the saying goes, good things must happen for a reason." Dulan said. Just when the three of them thought that Duran would find out the truth, Dulan said again: "But as the saying goes, there is no mercy. You three are responsible for arresting them and bringing them to justice." , I will give them a chance to defend themselves in front of Shang Fang Baojian."

"But..." Will wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Lan.

Lan is the calmest and wisest among the hunter troops. He smells the smell of conspiracy.

"You can go to the hunter headquarters to find them. There are still two hours before dawn, so you have to hurry up. I will meet the emperor after dawn. By then, the three of them will become wanted criminals, and it will be too late. ”

"Will, Porus, let's go." Lan took the lead.

When the three of them saw that Duran did not follow, they started discussing. Will was the first to speak: "This matter doesn't feel right."

Porus also nodded.

Lan said: "I'm afraid Du Lan is doing all this."

"But why did he frame General Esdeath? They have no holiday."

"Dulan is now the most trusted person by the young emperor, even more than Minister Onest. I'm afraid that Dulan wants to imitate the minister in monopolizing power, so he wants to frame General Esdeath, and this may be just the beginning." Lan was startled by her words. If this were true, there would be another storm of alternation of power in the imperial capital.

"Then what should we do?" Will is not good at dealing with this kind of thing. The current situation is that Duran framed General Esdeath. If they arrest him, they may not be able to defeat the general. If they don't arrest them, they will be wronged. And there was nothing they could do against Duran. Dulan was very powerful and had Shang Fang's sword. There was no problem in killing them. It was reasonable and legal.

"Aren't we doomed?" Will found that they had no way out.

"First go to General Esdeath, and then let the general meet with His Majesty. Your Majesty the Emperor will appreciate the general's contribution and will not embarrass her. By then, Duran will be unable to do anything to us." Lan said, having to say that he His resourcefulness is quite good. What needs to be compared now is speed. Whoever meets the emperor first tomorrow will win.

This is my first time playing officialdom battles, and it's quite interesting. In this empire where the emperor's power is supreme, gaining the emperor's trust means gaining power above everyone else. Minister Ernest is like this, and now Duran is also like this, so it depends on who is the traitor and who is the loyal minister.

In fact, if it continues like this, it will be nothing more than the hunters defecting, but it's okay for others, but it will be hard for Selyu. Because she has always claimed to be a righteous person serving the emperor, if she becomes a traitor, she will become the target of her own killing. There is no way to solve her troubles except suicide. Of course, if she can declare the law before committing suicide, she may take action against Hei Tong and Esdeath. Anyway, according to Selyu's thinking, everyone is wrong except herself.
