Capital.

This is the first time Bai Shier has been here, but apart from the taller city walls, the more magnificent city gates, and the soldiers guarding the city look more decent, Bai Shier feels that the capital city is not much different from the many cities he has been to before.

Especially when he saw beggars and refugees in the city like other cities, he didn't think there was any difference between this city and other places.

Bai Shier is still like this. Zhu Jinxuan, who had been playing in the city for more than half a month and hadn't been helpless, would never want to return here again. She would have no good impression of this city that many people dream of coming to.

However, Zhu Jinxuan did not object to Bai Shier's idea of ​​going around the Forbidden City.

Although he didn't have much favorable feelings for the palace where he had been imprisoned for more than ten years, Zhu Jinxuan, who grew up in it since childhood, finally missed her in her heart after nearly a year of leaving.

Moreover, the feeling of secretly going to go over and taking a distance and not being discovered was something she had never had before, which made her feel a sense of excitement.

...

Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were wandering in the capital.

After arriving in the capital, Zhu Jinxuan's original worry had greatly relieved.

The city was already prepared for the North Pole of Tianyan Gate. In this way, what she had worried about before should not have happened, and her spirit that had been tense naturally relaxed.

She was not stupid either. Without using Bai Shier to "suggestions", she figured out what the so-called "flying thief" was.

However, these six door constables who used the excuse of searching for the whereabouts of the thief, as well as more Jinyiwei and Dongchang men dressed in plain clothes, also brought considerable trouble to Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan.

After all, Zhu Jinxuan has a special identity, so it is naturally impossible to use her real identity to enter the city and register in the store. Even Bai Shier can only use a fake identity because of "being involved" Zhu Jinxuan's light.

But the fake is fake after all. Even if it is done realistically, it will never avoid some mistakes. If it is the Six Gates, the search force of Jinyiwei and the East Factory is a little smaller, but it is not bad. With such a large search force, the two of them are under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Bai Shier is very good at forging household registration, and can also use some shameful means to stamp the forged household registration with real official seals at night. Zhu Jinxuan is very good at disguise, so they can still deal with it in a short time, so they don’t have to worry about being visited by Jinyiwei, Dongchang or Liushumen when they are sleeping one day.

Moreover, whether it is the Six Gate, the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, the leaders knew in their hearts that although they used the excuse to search for the thieves who sneaked into the city this time, their real goal was the North Pole Heaven of Tianyanmen, which had been rooted in the city for many years. Therefore, the target they focused on was actually those "locals" who had lived in the city for many years, rather than those who had just arrived in the capital.

Therefore, for the guests staying in the inn, they just pretended to send a few novices to investigate. The real elites and "old fried dough sticks" were sent to investigate those suspicious "local households" who had lived in the city for many years.

It is naturally not difficult for Bai Shier to deal with these novices.

...

Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan are not in trouble, but Xuanwu is not in trouble.

Because I had leaked the news to those censors in the past, hoping to hinder the investigation of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, but I shot myself in the foot. Not only did I fail to delay the investigation of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, but I also involved Liushenmen, the "big Buddha" who is famous in the world.

With three major yamen, six doors in the open, and the Dongchang and Jinyiwei were in the dark, under the comprehensive investigation of two-pronged approach, his life naturally became increasingly difficult to get over.

Even though he had already ordered all the disciples of Tianyan Sect to escape from the city safely during this period, those who could safely leave the city will quickly leave the city. If there was no way to leave the city, they would stay in the city honestly and do nothing. They would use their disguised identity to hide and avoid the government's investigation.

But he never thought that with the common behavior of most of his disciples who had fought and made a living by fighting and fists, he could hide the practice of hiding the six doors, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang those sophisticated "fire eyes" in the Jinyiwei and the East Factory.

In the past two days, two of his subordinates have not had a low status, and they have fallen into this situation one after another.

After all, a store that has few customers on weekdays and has a very bad attitude from top to bottom. No matter how you look at it, it will definitely lose money. But it will last three to five years, or even longer.

It would be strange if this is OK.

The six-door detectives, Jinyiwei and Dongchang men who focus on investigating these strange stores may not be able to hit each time, but they will gain something in the end.

Prey needs luck every time, but hunters only need luck once.

The hunter, who had been lucky twice, caught two big and small fish under Xuanwu and took the two strongholds that he had been operating for five or six years.

At this point, the Tianyan Sect, which has only thirty or fifty years of experience, especially the Beiji Tian, ​​which has only more than ten years of experience, is far less suitable than the Tianji Pavilion, which also relies on disguise to cover up its identity.

No matter where Tianji Pavilion is disguised as a bookstore, a dry goods shop, or a blacksmith shop, there is absolutely no clue from the outside. Perhaps their business cannot be too prosperous, but it can definitely reach an average level.

Moreover, whether it is a bookstore, a dry goods shop or a blacksmith shop, the shopkeepers and the shopkeepers are definitely "working and loving every thing". They dare not be said to be top-notch in "professional knowledge", but they can definitely reach an excellent level.

However, "sadly", although it was done perfectly, these disguises were not used by Tianji Pavilion.

Although the things done by Tianji Pavilion and Tianyan Sect seem to be similar, and they both collect intelligence, the starting points of both sides are completely different. Tianji Pavilion uses this intelligence to make profits, while Tianyan Sect was established by King Ning to collect intelligence.

With different starting points, the behavior of the two organizations is naturally very different.

Although the Tianji Pavilion, which needs to make profits with intelligence, uses disguise to isolate ordinary people, it is completely transparent about potential targets.

But Tianyan Sect was not familiar with each other's situations between the various branches, let alone other outsiders.

Perhaps it is precisely this difference that ultimately creates the differences in disguise between the two organizations.

Although Tianji Pavilion is both a big network, the profits and losses of many stores operated by the branches in various places are managed by the branches.

In other words, except that the money in intelligence transactions is managed by the General Pavilion, the General Pavilion in other places will not be concerned about it.

In this way, the various departments are naturally very concerned about their operations. After all, the money they earn in the end is their own.

On the other hand, the Tianyan Sect base is really just a base, and the people who are in exchange for a lot of traffic.

If you don’t know when you will be transferred away by an order, naturally no one is willing to spend any effort on business.

Otherwise, if you finally managed the store and were about to make money, you were transferred away by a transfer order, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

There may be many people who will do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves, but there are very few people who will do things that harm themselves and benefit others.

This can be seen from the words of the saints and the great truths of the court, and behind them, the people who are benefiting themselves from the benefits.

Perhaps after experiencing this incident, Xuanwu may notice this and improve it.

But the premise is that he can survive this crisis safely.

...

Two strongholds, as many as ten disciples from the Beijitian Tian of Tianyan Sect, were arrested, and these disciples would definitely not be able to hold on under the torture of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Xuanwu was very sure of this.

The only thing he was worried about was how long these arrested people could last.

But no matter what, he must find a way to solve this dilemma now.

If the worst result is estimated, he must immediately send all other subordinates who are in contact with the two strongholds out of the city, or hide them, and evacuate other strongholds that may also be found out overnight.

However, now the city is full of Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi and Liushemen constables, and if there is a little turbulence, it may immediately attract these emperor's hawks and dogs. He does this like he will be distracted and fall into the trap.

Therefore, before doing these things, he must find a "explosion point" that attracts attention enough to at least attract those who like torture and squirt the most, so that he can detonate the court and then detonate the entire city. Only in this way can he turn the capital, which has become organized under the Six Gate, Jinyiwei and the East Factory, into chaos again.

Only by creating enough chaos can he take advantage of the chaos to complete the evacuation of the stronghold and expose his subordinates' ideas to expose their risks, so as to ensure the safety of him and the Arctic Sky.

"It's time to use this news for so long."

When another stronghold was destroyed by the constable of the Six Gates, and none of them escaped, and all the captured news came, Xuanwu knew that he could not continue to do this.

He must act immediately and muddle the water.

But just like this, he took out the news that had been hidden in his hand for a long time, and Xuanwu couldn't help but feel regret and unwillingness in his heart.

He originally wanted to use this news to leverage King Ning, and then attract the real master of the Tianyan Sect, the Tianyan Sect, to join the game, so that he could play with King Ning, and let the Tianyan Sect Beiji Tian completely turn into a deep listening that completely obeys him, and be on par with King Ning in an equal manner.

Unfortunately, in order to save Tianyan Sect and his power and life, he had to take it out in advance.

But he obviously did not expect that more than a month ago, someone had already revealed this to King Ning in order to save his life. Even if he didn't have to be here now, his original plan was doomed to fail.

...

"Investigate, find out for me who it is, who is so brave to reveal this news!"

In the Forbidden City, the emperor, who had just been happy that the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushumen had gained something, had his face covered with clouds, and lightning and thunder...

Cough cough, although the emperor is not the mother of Lei Gong and Ding, he can really emit lightning, but Mo Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei who kneeled in front of the emperor and did not even dare to raise his head, and Jiang Zhun, the governor of the East Factory, felt that the emperor's angry roar was even more terrifying than the thunder.

"A minister (slave) obeys the order."

Faced with such an angry emperor, both Mo Bin and Jiang Zong were as good as facing Tianwei, and did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately replied in unison.

"His Majesty calms down and be careful of his anger."

The queen, who had received the news to inquire about the situation, saw this situation and couldn't ask anymore. She added fuel to the fire and quickly spoke out to comfort her husband.

"Hmph, people say that the Forbidden City has layers of bans, so even a bird cannot fly in. But now? The matter I personally ordered to ban the city has caused storms and rain, and even the children in the city know very well..."

Faced with the queen's comfort, the emperor's mood showed no sign of improvement. He couldn't help but snorted again, and complained to the queen with a pale face.

The queen naturally had to comfort her again.

After a while, the anger in the emperor's heart finally dissipated and his face slowly returned to normal.

Seeing this, the queen finally explained her purpose.

"Your Majesty, although it is very important to investigate the leaked person, the most important thing now is how to calm this matter."

The queen's face was full of worry.

"If you don't suppress this matter as soon as possible, it will be more and more intense. By then, it will be difficult to deal with, and Sister Xuan'er's life will be over."

"Hey, how come I don't know this?"

The emperor's face was full of fatigue. I don't know if it was because the anger just now was too exhausted or because he thought about what was happening now, so he felt tired.

"But if I force myself to suppress it, the censors who provoked this matter will definitely not give up. At that time, if they insist on seeing the evidence, the most troublesome things will be."

Speaking of this, he sighed helplessly.

"On the contrary, if you drag it like now and turn a blind eye to them, you can continue to waste things. With teachers and important officials who know the general, you should not be able to make any big waves. After the major events of the state and government affairs such as autumn grain entering Beijing have been suppressed, you should be able to let the matter go to nothing."

Obviously, the emperor without confidence could only choose to compromise and drag it in a way that pretends to be deaf and be dumb.
