Chapter 425 Investigation 1
At the same time, you contact other resistance groups in the imperial city and ask them to form an alliance with us to fight against this enemy together.
"Yes."
After his men left, the leader felt even more depressed.
Now, not only are his brothers encountering setbacks one after another, but his underground forces have also suffered a severe blow.
What's worse is that someone was pretending to be him and creating chaos in the bustling city. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare to do such a thing.
Although Qin Zheng's health was getting weaker, a single sentence could easily destroy him and the underground team he had worked so hard to build.
It must be those forces affiliated with Zhao Gao who framed him, but he knew that no one would believe such words.
At the same time, he also had to be wary of those brothers. After all, not everyone could resist the temptation of one million. If any of his brothers betrayed him to the police for the money, he would be really finished.
......
On the other side, the remnants of Zhao Gao gathered together, and things finally made new progress.
"What did you say? Has any citizen seen the person in the portrait appear in the city?"
"Yes, my lord.
The citizen said that the person in the portrait was one of the leaders involved in the illegal activity on the day when Lord Zhao Gao left the city.
"What? This person may have a deep hatred for Zhao Gao."
"Report!"
"explain.
“As soon as they heard the new intelligence, everyone around the table gathered around, eager to learn the latest situation.
"Sir, a young man said that on the day when Qinghualou caught fire, he saw this man enter Qinghualou. He didn't buy anything, but just looked around, as if he was looking for someone."
“Are you sure it’s this person?”
"You are very sure, because that person was very arrogant at the time and didn't apologize after bumping into you, so I have a very deep impression of him."
After listening, everyone started talking about it.
The fifth-rank official quickly stabilized the situation: "Everyone calm down, now there are two clues that are enough to prove that this person has a huge conflict with Zhao Gao.
After Zhao Gao died, he transferred his hatred to us and began to take revenge.
Now, we must send our men out to collect information about this person. Once we find him, we must catch him immediately and make these people pay the price! "
His words made those present grit their teeth. This man almost destroyed all of their property.
They must send everyone to catch him and punish him severely to relieve their hatred.
“Okay everyone, now that we have the intelligence, the next step is to find this person.
The city is now heavily guarded and he dare not leave the city easily.
We just need to search every corner of the Imperial City and we will definitely find him! "
After saying that, everyone left immediately, ready to go back and start the search operation.
The thief leader sat on the chair with a worried look on his face. He didn't expect that the people who were against him were so powerful. Now he didn't even dare to go out.
His portraits were spread all over the city. Whenever he went out, he would be reported by countless citizens and became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.
He was even a little afraid that it would be terrible if one of his brothers was tempted by money and betrayed him.
Thinking of this, he became even angrier.
Qin Zheng was furious about this matter. These people dared to set fire to the imperial city. They were simply shitting on his head.
He was so angry that he vomited blood and sent palace guards to investigate the matter.
The remaining troops of Zhao Gao were also tracking them down intensively. If they did not get rid of this group of people, they would never have peace and would have to sleep with one eye open, for fear that these people would come to assassinate them at any time.
The three parties were in a tense standoff, while Zhang Liang, the instigator of the incident, was leisurely sipping tea in his own garden.
He was fully aware of the situation in the imperial city and knew that he didn't need to take any action at the moment. He just needed to wait and see and let things continue to develop.
The fiery clouds in the sky dyed half the sky red, but where Zhang Liang was was still blue.
......
Feiyu and Hongyue recovered well after a night's rest.
Hongyue rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the chirping sparrows in the distance, then looked at the sleeping Feiyu, picked up a piece of dogtail grass and gently poked Feiyu's nostrils.
Feiyu was awakened by the itch, moved his nose, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Hongyue held back her laughter and poked his nose with the foxtail grass again.
This time, Feiyu finally couldn't help it. He shook his body and sneezed three times in a row.
Seeing this, Hongyue couldn't help but sit on the ground and laugh.
Feiyu rubbed his itchy nose, looked at Hongyue who was laughing, and instantly understood what was going on.
Feiyu jumped up and pounced on Hongyue. Hongyue had no time to dodge and was pinned under him.
Feiyu looked straight into her bright eyes and said, "Xiao Hongyue, you have grown up. You even dare to tease Brother Feiyu."
Hongyue gazed at Feiyu, his bangs brushed his forehead, swaying with the city breeze, adding a bit of unruly charm; his eyes, as deep as obsidian, sparkled with aristocratic pride, as bright as stars, and as tranquil as a mountain stream, revealing a touching tenderness.
Her long eyelashes were slightly curled, her nose was three-dimensional, and her thin lips were slightly parted, outlining a faint arc that aroused endless reverie. There was a unique and subtle smile on the corner of her mouth. Hongyue was fascinated and only focused on staring at Feiyu's eyes.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Feiyu quickly turned over and left Hongyue.
Hongyue's cheeks turned slightly red, and the two of them fell into a brief awkward moment, not knowing how to start.
After a moment, Feiyu broke the silence and suggested, "I have found the hiding place of the gang last night. It is on the top of a skyscraper not far away. It is inconvenient to move at night. Now that it is daylight, we can go and investigate."
Hongyue crossed her arms and nodded in agreement. The two packed their bags, found a secluded alley to hide their luggage, and then walked towards the tall building.
When they came downstairs, they found that there were densely packed buildings around. If the criminals' hiding place was not known, it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover the secret of this building.
After some searching, they finally found a passage leading to the rooftop. The entrance was covered by weeds and it took a lot of effort to find it.
The stairs leading upstairs were steep. Feiyu held Hongyue's hand and climbed slowly.
Being tightly held by Feiyu's strong hand, the red moon on the road surface turned red.
She stared at Feiyu's profile, which looked like a handsome young man in an urban idol drama. Her heart seemed to be gently touched, with a subtle change.
When they were halfway there, they heard a noise from upstairs, and Feiyu quickly pulled Hongyue into the nearby fire escape.
I only heard two people talking upstairs: "Why did our boss suddenly disappear? It's been so long, and the second in command didn't ask us to look for him. We can't just let the boss disappear without a clear reason."
"Alas, ever since the boss disappeared, the second in command has asked us to go out and rob every day, while he himself has been eating and drinking lavishly at the headquarters. I really suspect that the boss' disappearance has something to do with him!"
"Stop talking, be careful of the Second In Command's spies, if he finds out we'll be in trouble.
When the boss was here, he always led the team himself, but now, life is really hard!"
"Okay, let's go, or we won't have any food if we go back later!"
……
After the two left, Feiyu analyzed the conversation just now.
