Chapter 471: Ambush
Subpersonality: "I saw some steamed bread crumbs in his clothes, but I can't be sure how many steamed breads there were. Maybe he lived under this altar for more than one day."
This man's stomach was empty, and he was hungry for at least a whole day. If we assume that he lived here, then he must have lived under this altar for more than one day, maybe two, three, or even longer.
This altar is a valuable item, and it is impossible for anyone to lift the curtain. Theoretically, he is safe here.
Ye Tingbai: "Wang San, bring all the attendance records of the temple guards for the past month, as well as the temple guards' hometowns and life stories. I want to see them all."
For such an important job as the temple guards, as long as they are on duty, even going to the toilet and drinking water will be recorded. If this person sneaked in in advance, something special must have happened before that.
To enter the main hall, you need to pass through two doors. The courtyard door is locked, and there will be a loud noise when it is opened, which everyone can hear. There are also two guards there.
There are also two guards at the main hall gate.
It is not realistic to want four guards to rebel at the same time.
Ye Tingbai: "On July 5th, I encountered a ghost. I don't understand.
What does this mean? Why did they call all the temple guards on duty that day just for these few words?"

[Position bonus: All attributes +50,000]
"Are you the foreman on duty on July 5th?"
Shan Jiaping: "To reply to your Excellency, it was me. There were eight people on duty that day, two outside the courtyard wall, two in front of the main hall, two behind the main hall, and two on patrol."
"Wang San, go and find the other seven people.
I looked at the record. It says here that I encountered a ghost on July 5th. What does it mean?"
Shan Jiaping was scared: "That incident was too weird, That day I was on duty outside the temple gate, and suddenly a eunuch came and said that His Majesty was coming to the temple to worship.
I saw that the man was wearing a formal official uniform and the sign in his hand was not fake, so I quickly opened the gate and called everyone in the courtyard to welcome him together, leaving only two people to guard the main hall door. "
Ye Tingbai immediately grasped the key point: "Who are the two guarding the main hall door?"
"Hong Quan and Hong Feng, these two are brothers, and they are very skilled."
Ye Tingbai: "Go on, then what?"
Ye Tingbai listened to Shan Jiaping's narration and opened the life records of the two. The strange thing is that the record only wrote that they had served in the military, but did not write what army they served in, all of which were crossed out.
"Then we saw a group of people suddenly appear from the road, and what they were carrying was actually a coffin, and the people carrying the coffin were actually a group of paper people. We, the temple guards, have no combat power after leaving the temple, and we are scared and anxious. "
In this situation, the probability that these two brothers have problems is more than 90%, and this method is really too clumsy.
Temple guards are ordinary people when they leave the temple. Naturally, these two people can't tell the difference between humans and ghosts. They get a fake eunuch to pass on the imperial edict, and the patrolmen naturally have to go out to greet him. The method is good, but it can only deceive those ordinary idiots.
Shan Jiaping: "The people carrying the coffin are all wearing royal clothes, and the coffin is a dragon coffin. I don't know what to do when I see this. I can't be sure whether it is the real His Majesty.
But fortunately, the strange coffin-carrying team disappeared by itself, and we just thought we saw a ghost."
Wang San: "My lord! My lord! It's not good. Two people are missing. I can't find them no matter how hard I look."
Ye Tingbai: "Is it called Hong Quan and Hong Feng?"
Wang San was surprised: "My lord, how do you know, you can tell the truth!"
If the two didn't run away, he really didn't have any evidence, but when they ran away, they confessed. The two people got a ghost to confuse the temple guards outside the temple, and then took the opportunity to send people into the main hall.
If that person didn't go through the main gate, but just climbed over the wall, the temple was not big, and eight people could monitor almost all blind spots, but six people went out at that time, so it would be too easy to climb over the wall.
At this time, another yamen runner came in with a letter in his hand.
The content of the letter: "My brother and I admire your methods, do you dare to come to Ping'an Village, Anning County to talk?
If you do, my brother and I will surrender."
"You wrote these two sentences in a hurry and ran away, just to lead me to Ping'an Village, Anning County. It seems that there is something wrong with this village."

After all, he had to leave the imperial capital and go to Anning County, so Ye Tingbai had to report to King Yan. King Yan was very happy that Ye Tingbai could make a breakthrough in such a short time.
"You are indeed the best detective. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. At least we found the murderer, and I can explain it to my brother.
Go ahead. The imperial guards will be under your command in the future. I will give you two imperial guards to accompany you. With such talents, safety must be guaranteed!"
Status and position in this world represent everything. Without status and position, you will never catch up with others in your lifetime by practicing alone.
Ye Tingbai: "Thank you, Lord Yan."
"Work hard, and I will make sure you rise to prominence after this matter is over."
Ye Tingbai was very happy. He asked Wang San to prepare the carriage and buy supplies, while he strolled around the city to investigate some things he cared about.
An hour later, Ye Tingbai left the imperial capital in a carriage, accompanied by ten government officials and two extremely aloof imperial guards who did not want to pay attention to Ye Tingbai's conversation.
They thought the journey would be smooth this time, but as soon as they left the imperial capital, they were stopped. A masked man in black suddenly stood in the middle of the road and started killing without saying a word.
The two government officials who opened the way were beaten to pieces on the spot. The imperial guards behind them rushed forward with golden swords. You must know that the attributes of the imperial guards can be increased by a hundred thousand.
However, the two golden knives were taken by the man in black with his bare hands. With a click, the two golden knives shattered.
The man in black struck out with two more palms, knocking the two imperial guards unconscious.
Ye Tingbai: "You can kill, but you show mercy. The only person who knows I leave the city is King Yan. Are you one of King Yan's men?"
Hei Yiran glared at Ye Tingbai, but didn't say anything. He swooped and grabbed Ye Tingbai's neck. The Imperial Forbidden Army with hundreds of thousands of attributes couldn't defeat him, so his brother with twenty thousand might not even be able to resist. There is no chance.
So he had no choice but to draw the knife.
The golden dragon-slaying sword was unsheathed, and a dragon roar appeared out of thin air. The sword flashed, and the man in black stopped in front of Ye Tingbai with wide eyes. A second later, he fell to the ground with a snap.
