But just when they thought they had achieved their goal, something terrible happened again. ┢-

In the exile center, another exile laborer was found. Similarly, most of his head was gnawed off. The death was very miserable. And no one saw or heard the abnormal noise, and the place where he died was next to the residence.

Whether it is a human, a ghost, or a mountain demon, this thing is beyond trace, and it is really hard to guard against. Therefore, the terrifying atmosphere quickly spread throughout the exile, and some people began to flee. More people asked Taoist monks to chant scriptures and catch ghosts, otherwise no one would survive, and people were panic for a while.

Although all the exiled prisoners who escaped were arrested one by one, there were still people who wanted to escape. After all, staying here may mean death, and there may be a way out after escaping.

In this case, local officials could only send letters of emergency to the capital like asking for help.

After seeing this, Huang Ding, the minister of Dali Temple, knew that the situation was serious, but he did not dare to report the matter directly to the emperor, so he thought of 6 Jinping. He wanted 6 Jinping to find out the truth first and see if the case could be solved.

Because in Huang Ding's view, the so-called ghosts and monsters are not enough to believe, and wild beasts seem unlikely now, because the army has strengthened its vigilance and went into the mountains to search for old hunters but did not catch monster beasts that eat people. The old hunters also ruled out that wild beasts were injured. In this way, the most likely one is internal murder. The murder case 6 is best at Jinping.

6 After reading this letter, Jinping thought for a while and said, "Since the lord trusts me, I will set off to Bazhou to investigate the matter, and I hope it will be too late."

6 Jinping said exactly what Huang Ding was worried about. Although the letter was delivered in a hurry, it took several days to deliver it from Bazhou. And these days, plus the few days that 6 Jinping rushed there, I don’t know what happened.

Although the Exile Institute mobilized many troops to strengthen its vigilance and defense, the Bazhou area was not a border, so there were not many troops. ┞┞┞┠┟┠═. (The transferred troops were not enough to resist the collective riots of thousands of exiled prisoners.

6 Jinping stood up and said to Huang Ding: "Does Lord Huang have any explanation?"

Huang Ding also stood up, with a solemn face on his face, lowered his voice and said, "There is another news. The sender told me privately. It was not written in the letter. I will tell you, you have a preparation in your heart."

6 When Jinping saw his serious expression, he couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart and nodded, saying, "Please speak with Master Huang."

"According to unverified information, in the Bazhou area, some people were secretly contacting to prepare for rebellion. But so far, there is no conclusive news, so local officials suspected that these three bizarre murders might have been intentionally carried out by mobs who conspired to rebel, so as to cause riots to cause thousands of people to move. Once the riots arise from exile, they can take the opportunity to incite. Therefore, you must be very careful."

"This time, we must not only investigate these three murders, but also investigate whether there are signs of rebellion mentioned by officials in the local area. However, there is also a possibility that some local officials often fabricate some sensational rumors to report in order to attract the attention of the court, and this situation is also true. So you need to go and identify it in detail."

6 Jinping nodded slowly. Indeed, the situation that Huang Huang Ding mentioned just now is possible. If it is really a premeditated rebellion, it will be a bit tricky. Fortunately, he has the plum blossom inner guard who can be mobilized, but the plum blossom inner guard is all female generals. It is not appropriate to use it as a means to suppress the rebellion of the rioters. What's more, it would be too much of a sudden that mobilized all the entire plum blossom inner guard to Bazhou. It is very likely that it would alarm the snake.

It would be better to take the elite plum blossom guards directly to go there. Anyway, my main responsibility is not to go to suppress, but to find out accurate news. As long as you get accurate news, you can mobilize the army to deal with it immediately.

After thinking about it, 6 Jinping bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will investigate in detail and find out the truth. ═┝.(."

Huang Ding thought about it and added: "This case has only been a common murder case so far. So, you don't need to report to the prince for the time being. The prince is now helping the emperor to handle state affairs. He is very busy with business every day. This matter is still groundless and has no real evidence, so it's better not to worry him first."

6 Jinping nodded and agreed, "Then how should I tell him?"

"I have already thought about this. I will inform you of the next official document. Prince, you will personally lead the team to Bazhou to collect prisoners. At the same time, two Dali Temple Chiefs and several constables accompanied you. I will only say that you are going to collect prisoners. After arriving, I will also send another secret letter to the Bazhou governor to tell him that everything is up to you."

Prison registration is a common system since ancient times, which means that higher-level judicial organs send officials to various parts of the country or some places to review cases and rehabilitate unjust prisons. Therefore, it is normal for 6 Jinping to go on this name.

6 Jinping said goodbye and left Dali Temple, returned to Jingzhao Mansion, and immediately reported to Li Longji. He did not tell the truth, because this matter has not been verified yet, so there is no need to worry him.

Li Longji did not doubt it. Instead, he said that he had been in the capital for a long time and would be good to go on a walk. Especially since the people in Bazhou were living in a difficult and difficult road to Shu and the terrain was steep. He took this opportunity to investigate the local people's conditions. He should report to him immediately if there is any existing matter.

6 Jinping felt that Li Longji was really familiar with the situation in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. Although he had not received any news, he had already predicted that there was such a possibility. He couldn't help but admire him, and agreed immediately and bowed his farewell.

6 Jinping returned home, called Xiaoxiao and told this matter. Xiaoxiao immediately carefully selected ten martial arts inner guards, who were highly skilled in martial arts, as personal guards, and went out with 6 Jinping to Bazhou.

Then, 6 Jinping entered the palace to say goodbye to his mother Shangguan Wan'er.

Since Li Longji took the Tanglong coup, Shangguan Wan'er has been deprived of all power, but it is much better than the ending of Xiangxiaoyufen in history. She also fully knew that Li Longji was vigilant against her. Now that she has found her son, she has enough wish, so she simply retreated with this moment, withdraws from the whirlpool of power struggle, and lives in seclusion in the inner courtyard of the palace.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard that 6 Jinping was going to Bazhou to recruit prisoners, she frowned and said, "Shu is not easy to go. On the way from Chang'an to Bazhou, it was very steep and crossed the Jiange mountains. You must be extremely careful."

6 Jinping nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that cute, wouldn't I just climb mountains and cross mountains? Isn't it difficult for me to do it. Besides, there are elite guards of the plum blossom inner guards, plus the Xiaoxiao girl's personal guards, so there should be no trouble."

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "You don't know martial arts. Even though you have the inner guards of the plum blossoms, these people can only be considered first-class martial arts. When you meet a real master, you are still unable to do so. So, take Ning Mou, and with you two guards, you can rest assured."

6 Jinping shook his head and said, "My guards are enough. Besides, there are also constables from Dali Temple. Stay with your eyes by your side, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"What's wrong with me? I live alone in the inner courtyard of the palace, so who is not good for me?"

6 Jinping shook his head and said, "No, no one hurts the tiger and the tiger is harmful to the hearts of others. It is difficult to accurately understand what they think in their hearts when they truly know that they are going to be unfavorable to you, so a strong guard must be left by your side, so I can go with confidence."

Shangguan Wan'er stopped arguing with her and said, "Okay, then be careful on the road. After finishing the matter, come back early. I'm afraid that it's already winter when I come back, so I should bring more clothes."

6 Jinping quickly agreed, chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

the next day.

Two Dali Temple Chiefs, Wu Jie, brought about 20 constables and criminal clerks from Dali Temple to wait outside the 6-jinping royal palace. They also rode horses.

6 Jinping also sent someone to notify the current Jingzhao Prefecture Captain Xiong, who was transferred from Tongzhou, and asked him to follow him to go with him. The Bear Xiong also brought a few close confidants and followed 6 Jinping to Bazhou.

Everything was ready, and 6 Jinping took Ye Qingqing and set off for Bazhou under the escort of Xiaoxiao and ten plum blossom inner guards.

In order to make it easier to walk along the way, these ten plum blossom inner guards, including Xiaoxiao, all dressed in men, and they all rode horses to facilitate walking on mountain roads.

6 Jinping's equestrian skills are already quite skilled, and with Xiaoxiao guards next to them, it's not a problem.

They headed west to Bazhou, passing through the stretching mountains, entering the Shu Road from Chang'an, and passing through Li Bai's masterpiece of the eternal song, the Shu Road was difficult than the Jiange Mountains that climbed to the blue sky.

From the capital Chang'an to the west and before Huangniling, the journey was still flat, and there were no difficulties or obstacles or accidents. We arrived at Huangniling smoothly.

At this point, the heart of 6 Jinping began to hang up because Huangniling is the most difficult road to Shu Road. It winds for dozens of miles of winding mountain roads, and the mountains are steep. Although there is a post road, the road is extremely narrow and can barely pass through a carriage. Moreover, there is a steep cliff on one side. Once the carriage falls down, the corpse will inevitably remain.

And when they got here, it started to rain.

This makes the mountain road up the mountain even more muddy, and once you slip on the muddy mountain road, it is also very dangerous. Therefore, everyone got off the horse and led the horse up. 6 Jinping was guarded in the middle, with constables from Dali Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture in front and behind, and 6 Jinping's plum blossom inner guards were guarding each other personally.
