Xue Liang was also stunned. The masked man in black turned around and his murderous eyes looked at him fiercely. Then, the man in black pulled out his dagger with a "puff" sound, blood splattered. Zheng Jingshi shook his body, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", twitched twice, and then he was silent.

Xue Liang was so scared that he sat on the ground. Taking this opportunity, the masked man in black put away his dagger and turned his head and ran away.

His running made Xue Liang react. He didn't bother to get up and screamed: "Chasing him quickly, don't let him run away!"

Several yamen runners followed the order and set off together, but they also left two guards to protect Xue Liang to prevent the murderer from returning or there were other helpers. Not only the yamen runners, but also a few sedan chair servants surrounded them with sticks in their hands, spontaneously protecting the magistrate.

I thought the murderer would run away, but I never thought that he had already run into the corner of the street, but suddenly turned back, and the dagger in his hand was replaced with a rope.

His turn around actually scared the yamen runners. As the saying goes, something abnormal will happen, they will be a monster. They were scared back two steps for a moment and did not dare to make a rash move.

Fortunately, they are all experienced men. Although they dare not make a rash move, they instinctively dispersed and scattered into an arc fan, which not only surrounded the murderer in the middle, but also blocked Xue Liang in order to prevent the murderer from suddenly hurting people.

The murderer was very calm, and his eyes glanced coldly at the yamen runners surrounding him. He didn't dare to go forward for a moment. He threw the rope in his hand into the air, and saw the rope being so straight that it stood magically like a stick.

The murderer looked at Xue Liang from afar through the crowd and made a thrust action. Then he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the rope, and then climbed up along the rope quickly. In just a blink of an eye, he climbed to the end of the rope, but he did not stop, but continued to go up.

Soon, the head and hands that exceeded the rope disappeared, but his body and legs continued to climb up

Everyone onlookers in the distance showed incredible fear, even Xue Liang and a group of yamen runners were the same. They were shocked for a moment and forgot to come forward to stop them.

Soon, the murderer climbed onto the rope, as if he had entered another space, and his whole body disappeared, leaving only a rope hanging in the air, not connected to the sky above, not ground below.

A bold yamen runner reacted, rolled his throat and swallowed his saliva. He hesitated for a moment, walked forward slowly with a steel knife in his hand, stood under the rope and looked up, but he found nothing.

He turned his head and looked at Xue Liang. Seeing that the magistrate was still stunned, the yamen runner was cruel and stretched out his hand to touch the rope. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he couldn't help but become bolder. He pulled it gently, and the rope fell silently, landed on the yamen runner's hand, turning into a bundle of ordinary hemp ropes.

"Wow!" Everyone around was infuriated o

"The magic, this magic is magic o"

"The gods must be the gods o"

Some people are in horror, some people kneel down and pray

Xue Liang opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him, then suddenly he turned his eyes and fainted.

The yamen runners were shocked and hurriedly surrounded them: "Master, Master"

Midnight, county yamen back hall o

The night breeze is cool and comfortable, but in the study, the county magistrate Xue Liang was sweating heavily, and was writing at the desk with a nervous expression. A candlelight swayed gently on the table, and a wisp of light smoke drifted with the wind.

After a while, Xue Liang closed his pen, raised his cuffs and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the contents on the paper carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook the paper, gently raised it and placed it not far from the candlestick. While baking, he blew his mouth and breathed until he was sure that the ink was completely dry. Then he carefully put the letter into the envelope that was already accurate, took out the seal, and printed it on the seal in the candle tears.

After checking it carefully again, he found that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he stood up and shouted loudly at the courtyard: "Xue Fu, Xue Fu!"

Soon, a young man wearing a gray long gown and had a smart camera ran in from outside and saluted Xue Liang: "Master, what are your instructions?"

Xue Liang handed the letter to Xue Fu: "Go, send this letter to Tongzhengsi, the faster the better."

Xue Fu nodded: "Yes, the little man sets off soon o"

"Well, go quickly and go back." Xue Liang looked anxious and waved his hand.

Two days ago, late at night, the palace

The imperial palace, the center of the country, the residence of the emperor, although carved beams, painted pillars and golden beams, are extremely rich and powerful, but their bones are rigorous and solemn. No matter when, there will be brigades of halberds and guards in the forbidden palace, patrolling the palace o

"Wow, wow" The patrol guard walked past the imperial guards, and the sound of their armor rubbing faintly came.

In the imperial study, a middle-aged man with half-white hair sat upright on a chair. It was Zhao Heng, the emperor of the dynasty.

Zhao Heng looks heroic, has a slightly strong facial features, three inches of short beards below, as hard as a force, but his eyes are filled with fatigue and vicissitudes that are hard, and he has a little more old look out of thin air.

There were several memorials on the desk. While he was frowning, he frowned, and even the queen walked in from outside with a tray.

Liu E looked at Zhao Heng's haggard appearance from afar and felt a little painful: "Oh, it has really made the official family suffer over the years. People in the world say that the official family is weak and has humiliated the reputation of his ancestors. But who understands the pain in the official family? For the sake of the country, the official family has been in charge of the throne for more than 20 years, but one day they are lazy? But what can I say if the situation is not as good as others?"

Queen Liu E looks young, she is actually the same age as Zhao Heng, and she is over 50 years old. However, because of the proper maintenance in the palace, she looks much younger. The couple has a very short relationship and has experienced many ups and downs together. It can be said that they have deep feelings and support each other. No one knows the pain and torture in Zhao Heng's heart better than her.

Although she was very comforted, she knew that the emperor was the emperor. Not only was he strong in nature, but the pride of the heavenly family in her bones would never accept any pity. She could only make her look calm, and walked up with a relaxed look, pretending to be curious and leaned over and looked at the memorial: "What happened to the official family? Why are you frowning?"

"Ah, Zitong is here?" Zhao Heng came to his senses, looked at Liu E, and smiled.

Liu E gently put down the tray and said softly: "It's so late, the official should take a break early. How can the state affairs be completed?"

Zhao Heng sighed lightly, took a bowl of millet porridge on the tray, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction: "Zi Tong knows best that I am. I am old and have a bad appetite. Only drinking the porridge you make can make my appetite wider!"

"If the official family likes it, I will make it for you every day." Liu E chuckled, raised her handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Zhao Heng's mouth.

Zhao Heng shook his head and pointed to the case and submitted a memorial: "Look at it, the memorial sent from the Wenshu room, the magistrate of Tai'an Prefecture reported that something strange happened there o."

"Strange thing? Then I have to look at it." Liu E took the memorial and looked like it

Zhao Heng took another sip of porridge, put it down, and then said with a depressed look on his face: "The Censor Zheng Ziwen was killed in the street. The murderer climbed up the rope and disappeared in the air. The magistrate of Tai'an was scared to death. What's even more annoying is that some ignorant people actually regarded the murderer as a god and bowed to the sky in the street!"

Liu E glanced a few times, closed the memorial, put it back to its original place, and looked at Zhao Heng: "What do the official plan to deal with it?"

"I have already asked Dali Temple to start investigating, but this is a bizarre case!" Zhao Heng sighed, obviously not expecting it.

Liu E thought about it and suddenly shook her head and chuckled: "You are so busy and dizzy. Dali Temple is not easy to deal with, but why did the official family forget Beidou Department?"

"Beidousi?" Zhao Heng frowned, not remembering for a moment

Liu E smiled and said, "This murderer's escape method of climbing the rope and disappearing from the air is obviously beyond the reach of people. Isn't it the responsibility of the Beidou Department to manage the strange people in the world?"

Zhao Heng suddenly realized and nodded in surprise: "You are right, why did I forget this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ordered: "Hurry, hurry up, grind the ink! Issuing an order to recover Dali Temple and investigate the Beidou Department."

"That's how it is. The case was recovered from Dali Temple and turned into our hands."

In the Beidou Siguan Hall, Yin Guang slowly finished the whole story of the matter
Chapter completed!
