Chapter 328: Closing the net in advance! The first step to eradicate the rebel party
How can this be considered bewitching! ?
In the private room, the water in the copper hot pot was already boiling, and the hot water vapor spurted out, covering the face of the current person in charge of the Kuangfu Society Branch.
Zhao Duan squinted his eyes and looked at each other. At this moment, he could not help but feel "convinced" in his heart.
"Dong dong——"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter's voice came from outside:
"Sir, do you want to add water?"
This sudden sound broke the atmosphere in the room.
The confusion in Zhao Duan's eyes suddenly became clear, and he said calmly: "No need."
Outside, the waiter across the door was holding an iron pot with a long and pointed spout. He responded, turned around and left.
"Sir, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man was slightly annoyed at the waiter's interruption, but still asked patiently.
Zhao Dujing looked at him quietly, then suddenly smiled, with a sarcastic tone, and only uttered two words:
"That's it?"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Zhao Duan sneered: "I thought the so-called national master had some witty words to say. I didn't want to waste my precious time, so I just said this nonsense."
The middle-aged man wanted to speak.
Zhao Duan interrupted:
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked... What kind of Buddha, what kind of situation, it's just these six words from the past and present in a circle. Do you think you can make my heart beat with such vulgar words? Fear? Divorce the relationship between me and Your Majesty ? Are you worthy?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze and he remained silent.
Zhao Duan leaned forward, supported the table with both hands, stood up slightly, and assumed a oppressive posture.
The faces of the two people were close to each other, and the cold look and evil spirit on his face could no longer be concealed: "I am very disappointed. Maybe in your opinion, with the so-called power of bewitchment, supplemented by seemingly advanced things, in fact it is just Common sense's conspiracy theories can intimidate me..."
The middle-aged man spoke up: "But the possibility I mentioned exists, do you want to deny it?"
Zhao Duan sneered, their faces getting closer, and his voice lowered: "I believe it. But...as long as you thieves are still there, how can I be raped again?" What about abandoning it?”
The second half of what he didn't say was:
When Kuang Fushe and the Eight Kings fell, he should have enough power to protect himself.
Well, this is just the worst-case scenario. If the empress is the one... it will be a completely different world.
In the logic of dog-licking, there is no such word as losing.
"Is this what you think?"
The middle-aged man's expression calmed down. He wanted to say something else, but found that Zhao Duan suddenly stood up and distanced himself from him.
His words were stuck in his throat because he suddenly felt a slight chill between his brows, like a drop of rain hitting there.
A fine flying knife passed through the water mist of the copper hot pot and passed itself into the palm of the handsome man in front of him.
The middle-aged shopkeeper had a bloody hole between his eyebrows.
At this moment, a stream of scarlet and thick blood, like a thin and narrow waterfall, gushes out from between the eyebrows and pours into the milky white bone soup rolling in the hot pot.
The boiling bone broth gradually subsided, and the tofu tumbling in the pot was dyed red.
The light in the eyes of the sub-rudder agent was dim, he lost his vitality, and he leaned back slumped.
The corpse was lying on a high-backed chair, his eyes full of confusion.
Zhao Duan stood in front of the window, overlooking the bustling streets outside. His left hand was behind his back, and his right hand slowly closed in front of him. He clenched the Golden Crow Flying Dagger tightly and said softly: "Noisy."
At the moment when the middle-aged shopkeeper died, Zhao Duan clearly realized that his somewhat dusty mind was suddenly wiped clean and clear again.
He was startled for a moment before he realized that it was only at this moment that the power of bewitchment really disappeared?
As for Cai Cai, even though he kept his appearance, his mind was unknowingly "polluted".
"Drive! Drive!"
On the street, the sound of horses racing could be heard in the distance, and Ma Yan and Haitang were galloping over.
The two had sharp eyes, and they saw each other hundreds of meters apart.
Ma Yan did not hesitate and led Haitang straight into the restaurant.
Under the surprised eyes of the guests and waiters below, they ran up to the private room, opened the door, and saw the body lying next to the hot pot, and Zhao Duan, who was facing the two of them with his hands behind his back.
"Ah -" the female detective exclaimed, subconsciously holding the handle of the knife.
Ma Yan's face changed slightly: "What's going on?"
Zhao Duan turned around and calmly recounted everything that had just happened.
Haitang was stunned, staring at the corpse in disbelief, and said, "So, the agent of Kuangfu Society in Beijing came here to seek death?"
Zhao Duan shook his head and said seriously: "He is not an agent."
"Who is that?"
"He is the demon, the Imperial Master of Dayu." Zhao Duan explained calmly.
At this time, even Ma Yan looked confused.
Zhao Duan glanced at the two people and explained patiently: "I had a conversation with him before, and I deliberately tried to test it. When this man talked about the second prince seizing the throne, and the former emperor, his tone and demeanor did not sound like a rebel. The little boss seems more like the demon is defending himself.
Just imagine, a loyal traitor who can be appointed by Zhuang Xiaocheng to be the leader in a key place in the capital must be loyal and reliable. How could he make such harsh comments, even with a tone of mockery and contempt, to evaluate Jian Wen and the late emperor? "
After a pause, Zhao Duan continued:
"However, what really makes me sure of this is that this person was already dead before he came to see me."
He pointed to the coagulated blood.
Haitang, who is experienced in criminal investigation, immediately understood: "The blood of a person who was just killed is fresh and thin, but this person's blood is too sticky... This is the characteristic of a dead person!"
She raised her face, which was dotted with tear marks, and said in shock: "You mean, the evil spirit might have killed the traitor first, and then used some evil method to bend over the corpse to meet you?"
Zhao Duan sighed:
"Only in this way can we explain why the words of an ordinary rebel can have the power to confuse people's hearts. Hmm, since this person came in, I felt something was wrong.
However, perhaps it is precisely because it is just a possession, rather than the presence of the demon in person, that I was not successfully seduced...
Well, in fact, I am not entirely sure now whether I am still in a state of being bewitched. "
Ma Yan looked at him for a while and said firmly: "You have no problem. With your cultivation level, it is difficult to be controlled. The most important thing is that any spell can be freed automatically as long as it kills the direct caster. . This has been verified before. If you are not at ease, you can meditate on the "Six Chapters Sutra" and investigate on your own. "
Is that so... I learned...
Zhao Duan felt relieved. He had too little experience with evil sorcerers and did not dare to take this kind of weird magic lightly.
Ma Yan stepped forward, inspected the body carefully, and said with an ugly face:
"It seems that the situation is worse than we expected. The demon can actually attach itself to the dead and perform bewitchments. This makes it more difficult to capture the main body."
Haitang frowned and said:
"If this demon is not lying, then he has obviously begun to control Kuangfu Society in the capital. But why did he kill this agent? Just to get a puppet that can be possessed?"
An inexplicable chill ran down her spine, and she developed an instinctive fear and disgust towards this evil way of killing and manipulating people at every turn.
Ma Yan breathed out and sneered:
"The reason why evil magicians are not tolerated by decent people is because they worship evil gods. Their minds will become distorted and capricious. They often act based on their mood. They never care about the reason for killing. They usually kill whenever they want."
In his tone, he was not surprised to bewitch the Imperial Master into killing people and borrowing corpses.
This is like a group of mentally ill people. It is difficult for you to reason with normal people's logic.
At this time, the Jinyi captains who were following behind also arrived one after another and surrounded the restaurant, causing a commotion downstairs and the guests being horrified.
Ma Yan took a deep breath and said:
"I will handle this matter later, and I will inform Your Majesty of the new abilities of the Demon Dao later. You should go back first."
Zhao Duan nodded, took two steps, and suddenly said:
"I think that you can't be passive when doing things. Taking the initiative may have miraculous effects. Since this demon has already contacted Kuangfu Society, it may be possible to trace the source by starting with the rebels."
Putting these words aside, Zhao Duan walked downstairs and left.
The two of them were left frowning and thinking, but they had no clue.
…
Lihuatang.
"grown ups!"
In the entrance of the hall, the pricks were taking advantage of their lunch break to play cards.
Seeing Zhao Duan return, they were startled, and they stood up one after another, hiding the cards in their hands behind their backs, or throwing them under the table, playing the main role of being clever.
Although the Yamen issued an order to track down the Imperial Guards, Lihuatang, as a weirdo among the nine halls, always obeyed the orders but refused to listen to the announcement.
Without Zhao Duan's order, everyone was too lazy to move and just wanted to fish.
"Stop touching it. How is the progress of what I told you before?"
Zhao Duan pretended not to see Da Ma Jin Dao sitting in the main seat.
Qian Kerou said seriously: "We have sent people to keep an eye on the target. According to your order, we will confiscate the net and prepare to catch big fish."
Hou Renmeng also said: "The Thousand-faced God is also very cooperative. Sir, you are more powerful. Once you take action, you can subdue this rebel."
During these days, Zhao Duan has been preparing to clear out the traitors in the capital.
Originally, it was to hit the year-end KPI and take another step towards recapturing Zhuang Xiaocheng.
Unexpectedly, the sudden return of Enchanted Imperial Master broke the original plan.
"Don't wait any longer, close the net early tonight,"
Zhao Duan said coldly: "I will do it myself. You will make arrangements immediately."
Wait a little longer... He was afraid that the fish he finally spotted would be swallowed by the crazy demon.
Even if the agent says to kill, he will kill... Such a madman must not speculate based on logic.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their spirits were shaken, and their faces glowed with excitement:
"Yes! I obey the order! Set up defense immediately!"
Finally, they had work to do. They had been feeling so uncomfortable that they wanted to kill someone.
Zhao Duan rubbed the hilt of his sword and looked at the withered pear tree in the courtyard, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Guardian? You must retaliate? Haha, I want to see how much you weigh."
The entire capital was on defense, but he decided to take the initiative and accomplish his feat in one battle.
"Come here, follow me to the prison." Zhao Duan stood up with the hilt of his sword, a gust of cold wind blew up, and a smile appeared on his face:
"After raising her for so long, it's time to take her out and run around."
…
Inside the prison, in a dark cell.
Yun Xi, who was curled up on the bed and deep in sleep, shivered for no reason:
"Sneeze!"
The girl who was Zhuang Xiaocheng's disciple opened her eyes and looked confused: "Who is talking about me?"
…
The typos were corrected first and then
