Chapter 72 White Dragon Tracking
"Cheng Jushu." After knowing the incident on Niulan Street, Shen Qingzhou tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Cheng Jushu said that he was not afraid of him. This was what others said.

He was not angry. At this moment, Teng Zijing was not even capable of horizontal training, let alone himself, or even the people who were responsible for boosting the military strength under his command.

Fan Mansion.

After Fan Xian returned home, he communicated with Fan Jian, and they both agreed that although only the Second Prince knew that Fan Xian went to Liujing River, he himself was the biggest suspect. It was not him, but the Crown Prince that Fan Xian suspected.

This is the cleverness of the Second Prince. This matter was planned jointly by him and the eldest princess, and Lin Gong was just the operator. However, except for the two parties involved, only those who could see clearly that Shen Qingzhou was using God's vision. No one knew whether Emperor Qing knew about it or not.

Later, Prince Jing came to apologize to Fan Xian. Because Teng Zijing was not dead, Fan Xian still had energy and started to investigate the truth with Wang Qini, without becoming depressed.

……

On the third day after the assassination, the court meeting was moved forward by two days. Shen Qingzhou was also very surprised. Even though Fan Xian was very important, his identity was very important after all. But he was very popular on the surface, and something like being assassinated was not worthy of being discussed in the court with princes and ministers. Or was there something else important?

"Your Majesty, I would like to report to the Marquis of Shenwu. Two days ago, an assassination occurred on Niulan Street in Beijing. The assassins were Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi and a female assassin from Dongyi City.

When Marquis Shenwu was in charge of Northern Qi and had already deployed defenses against the Dongyi, an assassin sneaked into our Qing Kingdom, but none of his subordinates raised the alarm.

Moreover, the Marquis of Shenwu is in charge of the Six Gates. All the thieves in the world and the revenge killings in the rivers and lakes are under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Shenwu. Cheng Jushu and the female assassin are all masters of the rivers and lakes. These big bandits sneaked into our capital, and the Six Gates did not warn us. Please punish the Marquis of Shenwu." An official from the Ministry of Justice stepped out.

Shen Qingzhou suddenly realized that this person was coming for him. No one could guard against the entry of such a master, not even the grandmaster.

But now that he is saying it, it makes sense and it also involves the Six Gates. Logically speaking, the assassination in Kyoto should be the fault of the Kyoto Prefecture, the Supervisory Council, and even the Ministry of Justice for not supervising strictly. How can he take the blame on himself?

It seems that they are all quite good at guessing their superiors' intentions. It's a good job for them to be officials.

"Oh, this is true. Marquis Shenwu, what do you have to say?" Emperor Qing asked.

In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that this matter was of no concern to Marquis Shenwu. Putting the blame on you is an attitude. You can also put the blame back, just for His Majesty to see.

This is also a reason for Emperor Qing. If he can't defeat you once, he can do it twice. Then some of your rights will be given up. Do you still have the nerve to hold on to them?

“Your Majesty, I am also aware of the assassination that occurred in Kyoto. There must be a reason for this expert to enter Kyoto without being known to the public. There are many hidden secrets, and there may be a huge conspiracy. I, the Six Gates, will not shirk my responsibility and am willing to investigate the truth of this matter.

I am willing to sign a military order. If the truth of this matter is not revealed, I am willing to resign from the post of the leader of the Six Gates. "Shen Qingzhou is not going to pass on the blame. I will try to pass it on to you, the Second Prince. This is also an opportunity to openly expand the influence of the Six Gates.

You are trying to pass the blame to me, right? Well, from now on, the Six Gates will be qualified to handle cases in Kyoto. Before, they were only responsible for arresting bandits, gangster strongholds, and cases within the city. The Six Gates cannot be too open and aboveboard.

As for not being able to track it down, that's a joke. He can tell the answer now, but he just needs some evidence. Jinyiwei Commander Shen Zhong is enough, right?

He also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Northern Qi, as there were many skill points there that he had to take over.

"My dear minister, I appreciate your sincere heart. I will order the Six Gates to investigate this matter." Emperor Qing said. He did not specify a time limit, but if there is no progress at the next court meeting, they will have to wait.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped out.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, according to my son Fan Xian's investigation, this matter may be related to a courtesan in Liujing River. The courtesan's pleasure boat burned down last night. I have already left the city to investigate this matter."

When Fan Jian said this, everyone looked at Shen Qingzhou with amusement. This courtesan, who could be brought up by Fan Jian, could it be the courtesan who was related to the Marquis of Shenwu? This was heartbreaking. "I also know about this, Marquis of Shenwu, I am waiting for your good news." In addition to the secret affair with the Northern Qi spy, even if you are guilty of not knowing the person, but with today's report of his failure to guard, what else can you do, the Lord of the Six Gates?

……

"White Dragon." Shen Qingzhou sent guards to the Yellow Crane Tower to convey his orders. In addition to the experts who stayed behind, all the silver medal detectives from his Six Gates should be assembled.

Shen Qingzhou came to his own Bailong. When Bailong heard his master's voice, he lowered his head and arched towards him to show his closeness.

"Bai Long, I finally need you. Smell this scent, find her and bring her back." Shen Qingzhou took out a piece of Si Lili's clothing and let Bai Long smell it.

The white dragon is not an ordinary horse. It certainly cannot think, but it is also spiritual. It is the king of horses. After understanding what Shen Qingzhou meant, it planned to jump over the wall.

Shen Qingzhou quickly held it down. What's the use of finding it yourself? He remembered that it seemed that Black Knight appeared and White Dragon was very powerful, but it was unrealistic for it to bring Si Lili back alone.

When he walked out of the mansion with Bai Long, the six gates had already assembled, but some of the silver medal constables were very confused, as they had never seen some of their colleagues before.

It's strange that you have seen it. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry changed their clothes and became the head of the police. He has many eighth-rank soldiers under his command, but they are scattered all over the place.

There are not many people left in Kyoto. During this period, some reliable people were sent up from below, and there are more than 30 people.

For fear that it would not be enough, he ordered the dozens of people left in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to change their equipment and come. In terms of lethality, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the veterans who had fought their way out of the grassland like himself, unlike these novices who only had strong powers but had not killed many people.

"Follow Bailong and bring Miss Si Lili back to Liushenmen." After giving the instructions, Shen Qingzhou immediately left.

The white dragon roared, and all the horses found their leader. Under the strange gazes of many people, a tall white horse followed by seventy or eighty other riders went out of the city.

Shen Qingzhou had also gone out of the city at this moment. He had to act secretly. In order to avoid gossip, he could not meet Si Lili directly.

He knew clearly that things were a little different from his original memory. He remembered that Cheng Jushu should have been killed first and Si Lili was captured later, but now, Cheng Jushu was still in the Supervisory Commission.

……

At this moment, in a pavilion outside the city, Si Lili was wearing plain clothes. Fan Xian and Wang Qinian followed her all the way and finally caught up with her.

"Master Fan has finally caught up." Si Lili looked at the young man. If he wasn't the Marquis, no, the bastard Shen Qingzhou, she should have had a lot of contact with him.

"You are a spy from Northern Qi."

"Yes."

After the verbal confrontation, Fan Xian realized how he was exposed. He also realized that Si Lili was waiting for them here deliberately to lure them into a trap. Some spies dressed as bandits appeared.

It was obvious that they were all masters above the sixth rank. Wang Qinian was very nervous, but Fan Xian noticed something was wrong.

Si Lili left alone, but stopped immediately.

"Miss Lili, the black cavalry is coming from the front and this road is blocked." Si Lili looked at the familiar guard.
