The six-door fire happened on the first day Zhuge Xianyu took office. This incident is intriguing.

Obviously, his return is the beginning of a new round of internal fighting among the six doors.

Whether this case is big or small depends on how it is characterized. After all, six doors were burned down to ashes in a fire three years ago and rebuilt. If something like this happens again at this juncture, it is indeed easy to confirm the facts. Therefore, Zhuge Xian

Yu's original intention was to quickly characterize the incident before the situation spread, and to deal with Tang Yan with thunderous means, so as to gain the initiative for himself. Otherwise, waiting for rumors to spread and various versions to fly in the sky before trying to explain it would have the opposite effect.

Not good.

In contrast, what he was more worried about was that the Northern Zhou assassin who had been tracking for more than half a year died in the fire, leaving him without clues and no clue about the crisis hidden in the dark. So when Guo Er heard,

Guo Si said that when he overheard their conversation, he immediately transferred the two of them to his government office.

Guo Er and Guo Si were from gangster backgrounds. When they saw a senior official of the fourth rank, they felt a little panicked and were too frightened to speak out. However, Master Zhuge, who had acted vigorously and resolutely just now, suddenly became a different person here, becoming kind and cheerful.

He also spoke softly.

"Those three Northern Zhou barbarians have a special status. No matter what you committed, as long as you can provide useful information, I can make the decision to make you guilty and meritorious, and receive a lighter sentence."

Fan Xiaodao said: "These two people are related to the Taiping Taoist Temple case. We locked them here because we are afraid that they will suffer retaliation from the Taoist Temple."

Zhuge Xianyu said: "If the Taoist temple discovers that they are missing, wouldn't it be easier to alert them?"

The two of them didn't expect this, but now is not the time to think about it.

Zhuge Xianyu said, "What did you hear?"

Guo Erdao: "During this period, the prison was overcrowded. We have been detained in No. 3 Cell No. C. We are old acquaintances here, so our words in the cell have some weight. Three days ago, these three Hu men were arrested by the government.

If someone is caught, they will be locked up

In our cell, when everyone saw that they were barbarians, they began to abuse them. As a result, the three people became furious on the spot and punished the troublemakers severely. They gained the right to speak. Everyone knew that they were tough people.

I don’t want to mess with him, so I don’t dare to provoke him.”

"At first, these three people were relatively honest. As long as we didn't provoke them, they ignored us. They kept hiding in the corner and whispering in nonsense. There were so many people in the prison that it was difficult to hear what was being said. At night,

, everyone lay down, and the three of them discussed quietly, my brother was closer to them, so he also overheard something."

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Let's get to the point!"

Guo Erdao: "I learned from their mouths that from the time they entered Beijing to now, they have lived in seclusion, but they still noticed that at least two groups of people were following them, so they thought of a way to cause trouble in the brothel and deliberately got caught here to avoid the other party's eyes.

.”

Zhuge Xianyu secretly praised his cleverness. The characteristics of these three barbarians are too obvious. Now is a critical period. They live in inns or secret spots in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But no matter what, they always have to deal with people. They can be easily noticed by others. It doesn't matter.

There is no safer way than being imprisoned in a private prison.

These three people are the top assassins of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is said that they also practice the secret art of shrinking bones. Unless they are specially detained, the six-door dungeon cannot trap them at all. Hiding here for a few days can avoid being exposed in public, and secondly

Firstly, you can get rid of the opponent's tracking, and thirdly, you don't have to spend any money. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Guo Er added: "We also overheard that these three people had been plotting something big like an assassination. We realized that the identities of these three people were not simple, so we deliberately kept a close eye on them. The next day, we started to take the initiative to follow them.

They chatted, of course, we didn’t use nonsense. Their Mandarin was very poor, but it was enough to communicate. They told us that we were in the smuggling business, so we took the opportunity to talk about a good way to make a fortune together after we go out.

.One of them showed strong feelings about this.

Interested. In less than half a day, we became brothers. However, the scar-faced leader was still wary of us. During the break, the three of them had a dispute, saying that Ming people could not be trusted and that the assassination could not be carried out.

Give someone a fake hand,

They had to do it themselves. But Scarface said that they were just a part of the plan and everything was going according to the plan. They would break out of prison tonight and go to the ghost house to meet the people. The other party's people would send them to the ambush location, and they would just have to listen to the orders.

Just do it.”

Zhuge Xianyu asked, "Did they ever say who the target was for the assassination they planned?"

Guo Er said, "That's not true, but he did mention something like a tall building with eternal life."

The tall building of eternity?

Fan Xiaodao said, "Tower of Eternal Life?"

Zhuge Xianyu seemed to have expected it. However, the Eternal Life Tower was built under the supervision of Dongchang. It was heavily guarded from top to bottom, with nearly a hundred open and hidden sentries. Moreover, when the emperor traveled, he was always escorted by high-ranking officials and dead soldiers.

As an assassin, even flies and mosquitoes may not be able to fly in.

If so, there is only one possibility: there is a traitor among these people.

According to what the Guo brothers said, if the handlers of the three Northern Zhou assassins were in Guilou, then Xu Jiuye must have been involved in this assassination.

This clue must be investigated clearly.

Check after investigation, but you can't alert the enemy.

Zhuge Xianyu asked again, "In the future, is there any useful news?"

This Guo Er couldn't understand the key points in his words, so Zhuge Xianyu asked more simply.

Guo Erdao: "Later, they reached an agreement, but the problem was that all three of them came to Beijing for the first time and had no idea where the ghost building was. The target was too obvious on the street, so they found our brothers and asked us to go to the ghost building to help.

Spread the word that when the deal is done, we will be thanked by ten taels of gold. I said that we were in jail, and they said that it was no problem and that they could take us out at any time if we wanted to. So, we agreed.

"

"What words?"

Guo Er said: "He died before I could say anything."

Three assassins died in the water prison.

Fan Xiaodao said: "This matter is a bit strange. There is a fire in the dungeon. Even if you want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, you should run up. How come they did the opposite and went to the water prison on the second underground floor?"

Zhao Xingdao: "The underground prison leads to a culvert. Although the culvert is only a foot square in size, it is difficult for ordinary people to pass through it. But I observed that when these three people died, their joints fell off. It was obvious that the secret method of bone shrinkage was used.

If you learn the Turtle Breathing Technique again, you can follow the dark path

Canal and fled outside. As far as I know, these two secret techniques do exist in the rivers and lakes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, I never expected that when they used it, they were entangled in the iron wire in the water. Although they could breathe.

, but happened to catch up with the fire and was cooked alive."

The three of them really have good plans.

After they found out that they were being followed, they found a way to enter the dungeon, get rid of the tracking, and then used secret techniques and water escape to escape, and then they could carry out their plan safely. However, God's calculations were not as good as those of humans, and they managed to escape like a golden cicada.

As a result, the shell fell off and the golden cicada was cooked.

"Then here comes the question." Fan Xiaodao raised his doubts, "Even if they can escape through water, how do they know the layout of the six-door prison? Do they know that there is an underground ditch outside the water prison?"

Zhuge Xianyu thought for a moment and said: "This dungeon was built thirty years ago. The drawings of the construction at that time are not only in the Archives Department, but also in the Ministry of Industry. If it is true to your analysis, then using the six-door dungeon to escape

It is also in their plan to start tracking, so they only need to check the loan record of the file."

You can find out the records of the six doors at a glance.

In the past two years, only one person has borrowed it.

That is Fan Xiaodao.

Fan Xiaodao looked at the two of them, "Sir, why are you looking at me like this? You won't doubt me, right?"

Zhuge Xianyu asked, "I'm just curious, why did you borrow this thing?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I just maintain a strong thirst for knowledge about all unknown things. Is this explanation reasonable?"

Zhao Xing naturally knew that Fan Xiaodao's purpose of borrowing the files was to find the secret passage in the six doors, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb to hide it for him. Zhuge Xianyu didn't ask too much, just said, "You guys go

Let’s check with the Ministry of Industry to see if there are any suspicious clues. Now that we have the clues about the Guo brothers, what should we do next?”

Fan Xiaodao said: "My lord is here, of course I will obey your orders in everything."

Zhuge Xianyu said: "I said something wrong. It should be, what do you think we should do?"

This is the charm of Zhuge Xianyu. He never acts arbitrarily on a case, but is good at listening to other people's opinions and then making comprehensive judgments. On the contrary, Yang Deshui always likes to impose his will on others.

For internal affairs, he was okay, but for investigating cases, he had been in the background for these years and was not professional. Most of the time, he was a layman leading an expert. Therefore, Fan and Zhao did not live happily under Yang De.

.

The arrival of Zhuge Xianyu brought the two of them back to the same state they were in when they first entered the Six Gates.

"We need to investigate the ghost building, but if we act rashly, we will alert the enemy. However, the three assassins are dead, so I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Thinking that Uncle Yang is now in the Ghost Building, if he goes to investigate, will they also be involved? The contact person of the North Wednesday assassin is in the Ghost Building. This clue has been followed by Zhuge Xianyu for a long time and must not be broken.

, but how to contact him was difficult for Fan Xiaodao.

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Who said the assassin is dead?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I blocked the news of the deaths of these three people not to shirk responsibility."

Zhuge Xianyu ordered people to call Xu Wuzuo over, explained it, and said: "Old Xu, this is the situation. How sure do you think you are?"

Xu Zuozuo looked at the three corpses on the ground, and then looked at Fan and Zhao, "Normally, it needs to be peeled, tanned, and then molded with beeswax. This procedure takes at least ten and a half months. The time is tight.

, I try to save steps as much as possible, but the facial expressions may not be so lifelike, they can only be eighty-nine points similar."

Zhuge Xianyu said: "That's enough. We must do it before tomorrow night."

Xu Wuzuo left with the three corpses. Fan Xiaodao already understood Zhuge Xianyu's intention. He wanted the two of them to pretend to be assassins and go to spy on the joint information.

What a resurrected corpse!
