Chapter 223 Congratulations, Your Majesty, the assassin has been arrested, you can sleep peacefully tonight
The setting sun is like blood.

Zhao Duan looked leisurely. After saying these words, he looked at the reaction of the person opposite.

The Thousand-faced God's heart suddenly sank first, and then his expression became confused, as if he didn't understand.

"No need to pretend," Zhao Duan shook his head and looked down at him:
"Do you know why I guessed it was you?"

He pointed to the surrounding blocks and then to himself:

"When the civilians in this place see me dressed like this, the correct reaction is to step aside to avoid getting into trouble."

Well... In the capital, you will really get into trouble because of "what are you worried about"... After all, this is an era where the distinction between the government and the people is clear.

It is "disrespectful" for a subordinate to look directly at his superior.

Zhao Duan's arrogant "elegant" appearance is something that everyone avoids.

The face of the Thousand-faced God finally changed.

Originally, with his alertness and sophistication in the world, he shouldn't have made such a stupid mistake.

But his soul was traumatized not long ago, and he is now in a mentally unstable state.

This is also the reason why he chose to commit violence while hiding——

It’s not just about regaining strength, but it’s also a sign of mental instability.

But……

Why?
How did you expose yourself?
It is clear that the true identity is well hidden and should not be traced back...

Without any time to think, the Thousand-Faced God Lord lowered his waist and crotch, and his feet sank, making two dents in the broken brick road under his feet.

The silhouette is as swift as a leopard, turning and escaping!
There is no plan to fight with Zhao Duan.

In an instant, he had already rushed dozens of feet.

As he rushed out to the other side of the street, his shoulders suddenly sank, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and his legs were stuck in the mud, unable to move.

"Warlock..."

The Thousand-Faced God raised his head in astonishment, and a strange scene was reflected in his pupils.

I saw dozens of figures appearing on both sides of this inconspicuous street.

Ma Yan, dressed in brocade clothes and with a steel knife at his waist, stood at the end.

On the low walls on both sides, Zhang Han, Haitang and other police officers appeared, each holding a weapon.

Qi is like a net, and he is the fish in the net.

On the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, there stood a famous warlock, wearing the same cloud-patterned priest of the Tianshi Mansion, either making secrets or holding a weight.

Further away, dressed in a bright red python robe, rather than saying that he came to join the battle, it was better to say that he was an old eunuch who was still protecting Zhao Duan, sitting on the spire of a building, with his withered hands folded up.

He closed his eyes, shook his head and muttered: "Today's young people are killing chickens with a bull's-eye."

I don’t know whether it was Zhao Duan or the empress who was scolding.

Ma Yan laughed evilly, waved his hand and said loudly: "Excuse me, everyone, hold on to the formation, I have ordered the government to capture the thieves according to the emperor's orders. Remember, catch them alive."

The priests of Tianshi Mansion remained silent, thinking that no one would take your credit.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Zhang Han is holding a seven-foot sword, with a hood of sword energy under his hood.

Haitang opened her slender hands, and a flying knife was thrown out without missing a beat.

The Thousand-Faced God Lord was like a trapped beast, struggling to resist.

Zhao Duan shook his head, turned around and left.

He was no longer interested in watching such a battle, but Ma Yan had a vague intention of using thieves to train his troops.

Stepping out of Niwa Street, Zhao Duan went to a food stall facing the street.

Under the surprised and uncertain gaze of the shop owner, he ordered a bowl of noodles and ate it slowly.

In order to avoid disturbing the people, even though they were only one street apart, due to the tricks of the priests, looking from here, the scene of hunting down the monks of the Divine Chapter was invisible.

On one side of the street were the roars of trapped beasts, and on the other side were the hot vermicelli.

The contrast is stark.

When Zhao Duan ate half of the bowl.

Haitang walked over silently.

Sitting opposite him, I also ordered a bowl of noodles.

"It's over? Why did it take so long?"

Zhao Duan took a sip of powder, swallowed it, raised his head and looked at the female detective opposite.

Haitang raised her hand and straightened her somewhat scattered ponytail.

When moving, the tear mole at the corner of the eye is particularly clear:

"You don't need time to prepare the follow-up? That scumbag hid in a house and killed the male owner. The female owner was also defiled. He did it in front of his face."

When she said this, she almost gritted her teeth, and there was undisguised murderous intent in her eyes:
"It should be chopped on the spot."

Zhao Duan nodded:
"So, can you catch him alive?"

Haitang finished cursing and exhaled:

"After breaking his limbs and shattering the sea of ​​energy, the Governor personally escorted him back to the imperial prison for execution. It would be too easy to kill him directly.

However, with Kuang Fushe’s vigilance, even if we hide the information, the other party will probably notice it soon, and we don’t know how much we can dig out...

Unfortunately, after entering the capital, he did not seem to have much contact with the traitors in the capital, and he did not have much success if he dug deeper. "

Zhao Duan nodded, and a stone fell in his heart.

At least for a short time, I no longer have to guard against thieves, so I couldn’t help but smile:

"After today, the lower-level officials of the imperial party can have a good sleep."

"It's hard to think about them..."

Haitang held a gun and a stick as usual, turned his hand and pressed a painted mask on the table: "Here, the captured trophy is a disguised artifact called 'Nine Changes'. Cover it with If you put it on your face and imagine it in your mind, you can change your appearance.

If used by non-warlocks, it can last for about nine hours at a time.

The governor should have put it into the treasury according to the rules, but Duke Hai publicly said that this time you have done a good job in catching the thief, and he will reward you. Oh, he said that it can be used by you when you go out to work outside the capital one day. "

Why can I use it when I go out... Is it because there are too many enemies... Zhao Duan couldn't complain.

But he still cheered up and immediately grabbed the "Nine Yis" in his hand.

I don’t know what material this mask is made of.

Well, based on the experience of the previous life, it looks like soft silicone... The whole body is painted in a Picasso style, and the mask seems to have several faces superimposed on it.

"Is this how the Thousand-Faced God relies on his disguise?" Zhao Duan asked curiously. Haitang glanced at him: "You are overthinking. There are many ways to disguise yourself, but those who can achieve the level of Thousand Faces all require years of hard training.

He is the master of the method given by the god, and this mask only has part of the ability.

For example, he can perfectly replicate someone else, but you can only change his face, body, etc., but there is nothing you can do. "

Zhao Duan was slightly disappointed, thinking that it could be ever-changing.

It seems that the biggest function of this mask is not to disguise yourself as someone else, but to change your own appearance to avoid being tracked...

Of course, if you have similar body shapes, it's not impossible...

"Haha, then I'll accept it."

Zhao Duan put the mask into the silver scroll and lamented that his cultivation level was average, but he had more and more treasures on his body.

At this time, Haitang's powder was served, but Zhao Duan stood up and prepared to leave.

The female relatives at home have been waiting for a day, and it is time for him to go back.

"By the way, does your Majesty know what's going on here?"

Zhao Duan was ready to report to the palace.

The key is that it's dark.

He wondered if he could take the opportunity to spend another night in the palace or something to deepen his relationship.

Haitang held her chopsticks and sneered:

"Eunuch Hai is going back first. Your Majesty will know about it later."

Lao Hai is not particular about it... No wonder he blocked my mouth with a mask, snatching my opportunity to report... Zhao Duan was disappointed for a while.

After taking two steps, he stopped again:
"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Haitang pinched the vermicelli helplessly, with the expression you said.

"Speaking of which, your surname is Hai, and Hai is also surnamed Hai. Are there many people with this surname in the capital?"

Zhao Duan was curious.

Haitang was silent for a moment, lowered her eyes, and let the heat in the bowl cover her brows:
"Not many people named Zhao?"

"...Haha, that's true."

Zhao Duan took a deep look at this female colleague with a mysterious background, laughed, and turned away.

There was a faint murmur in his heart.

but……

Too lazy to think too much.

Zhao Duan, who had solved a major hidden danger, had enough to eat and drink, and walked back slowly with the loot in his pocket.

As soon as they walked out of a street and returned to the place where the horses were tied, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them.

They were ten warlocks all wearing priest robes, walking silently and quietly.

The leader of the group looked with interest, and the smile slowly spread at the corner of his mouth:
"Are you Zhao Duan?"

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

When the sun sank into the ground, Xu Zhenguan was asking Mo Chou about something.

"...So, this is the result that Xue Shence gave? I asked him to investigate himself, and this is the only thing that was found?"

The empress' eyes were cold, and there was strong dissatisfaction in her slender eyes.

He dropped the envelope on the table.

Mochou stood aside and explained:
Envoy Xue said that he had tried his best and found nothing more. This was probably the one who joined forces with Zhang Changshuo at the beginning.

The empress snorted coldly: "So, Prince Jing's Mansion can steal the firearms craftsman without anyone noticing with just a sixth-grade military clerk?"

Mo Chou didn't dare to say anything.

At the beginning, Zhao Duan took revenge on Zhang Changshuo and accidentally involved a spy from Prince Jing's palace.

This indicates that there is a high possibility that there are senior officers secretly seeking refuge with Prince Jing in the Privy Council.

Due to the special circumstances of the Privy Council, Xu Zhenguan ordered Xue Shence to conduct a self-examination.

After so long, the person was indeed found, but the empress was not satisfied.

"Privy Envoy Xue is good at military affairs, and he is indeed not suitable for this kind of thing."

Mochou thought for a while and said tactfully:

"At the beginning, Ma Dugong was unable to find out the traitors in the imperial office, but it was not necessarily because he was unwilling to do things."

She knew that Xue Shence, as an important military minister in the imperial party, was always highly valued by His Majesty.

At this time, it was appropriate to pass up the stairs.

Xu Zhenguan sighed softly:
"No one makes me worry."

Mochou blinked and said:

"Skills have specializations. If you are talking about picking up traitors and playing tricks on people, you still have to find the right person to do it..."

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and knew who they were talking about.

"The Privy Council is different from other yamen, and the military is a completely different circle from the civil service..." The empress hesitated.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, the female officials guarding the door outside the royal study spoke one after another:
"Hai worship..."

The monarchs and ministers in the room were in high spirits.

Xu Zhenguan waved his hand, and the door of the royal study opened by itself.

The old eunuch in python robe floated inside, bowed and said:
"I've met your Majesty."

Xu Zhenguan was surprised: "But there is progress?"

In the evening, Eunuch Hai came out of the palace again, saying that he was protecting Zhao Duan, and at the same time, he was cooperating with Zhao Yamen to think of ways to catch the thief.

Now that I have returned suddenly, I am afraid there will be changes.

Eunuch Hai said "En".

Without haste, he explained how Zhao Duan searched for Ma Yan, located the traitor, and how he gathered a group of men to hunt him. Finally, he handed over his hand and said:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the true identity of the assassin and traitor has been arrested and imprisoned. All officials can have a good sleep tonight."
