The next morning, after a break from the rain, Zhou You, who had just arrived at the Inner Guards Mansion, was summoned by Huang Chengyan, the chief of the Inner Guards Mansion.

"What? All the internal guards who went out of the city to respond died in Yongji Village near Shendu?" Huang Chengyan's words surprised Zhou You slightly.

After receiving the news sent by Sun Dianchen before his death, he learned that some internal guards were traveling back to Beijing with Sun Dianchen, so he informed Huang Chengyan of the matter.

Sun Dianchen was killed in Luoyang City, which also made Huang Chengyan realize that the internal guards outside the city might also be in danger, so he specially sent people to respond. Unexpectedly, early this morning, he received the news that they all died tragically in Yongji Village

.

"Killing each other to death?" After asking about the death of these internal guards, Zhou You couldn't help but be even more surprised when he learned that they actually killed each other.

Huang Chengyan continued: "According to our people's investigation, the place where they took shelter from the rain late at night was a haunted house in the village. The dead guard brothers had hideous and terrifying expressions. It seemed that they were obsessed with evil spirits, so they killed each other.

.”

"Fire ghosts kill people?" Zhou You raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Naturally, he would not believe such nonsense. He was probably like Wu Zetian, who had been addicted to drugs such as ecstasy, so he became insane and wandered like a sleepwalker.

The knife slashed wantonly: "Aren't you going to play the bloody eagle? It's a good trick to be obsessed with ghosts! It can indeed make people suspicious. However, it's not that easy to lie to me."

"Leader of the Grand Pavilion, leave this matter to me! I will definitely investigate this matter clearly," Zhou You, who took the initiative to ask for orders, quickly left the divine capital.

..Outside of Luoyang City, on the official road in Mang Mountain, Di Renjie was invited by the new Jingxian County Magistrate Zeng Tai to solve a strange case.

At the scene of the crime, a carriage was parked on the official road. The driver was lying outside the door, missing his head and left arm. In the grass not far away, there was also a body without a head and left arm.

Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Zhou You came at a gallop. When he got closer, he saw government servants guarding both sides of the official road. He dismounted his horse and walked straight over. He measured the horseshoes as big as a bowl of ocean at the look of surprise on his face.

Li Yuanfang, who was standing at a distance, said: "Yuanfang, how are you? Have you and your Excellency found out anything?"

"Zhou You, why are you here?" Seeing Zhou You, Li Yuanfang asked in surprise.

"My people were killed, can't I come and check?" Zhou You asked back, which immediately made Li Yuanfang even more surprised: "Your people? You mean, the ones who were killed were your internal guards?"

"

"It should be," Zhou You nodded lightly, and then asked: "I saw that you seemed to be measuring hoof prints just now. You looked very surprised. What did you find?"

"I discovered some strange things. You Zhou, don't you think the distance between these hoofprints is too big? What kind of horse can have such a long stride? It is more than one and a half steps of an ordinary war horse, and the hoofprints are as big as a sea bowl.

It's actually more than twice as big as the horses' hooves from the Western Regions, it's really unbelievable," Li Yuanfang frowned and said.

"Oh? These should be the hoofs left by the horse the murderer rode, right?" Zhou You raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that the murderer was riding a very big horse!"

Li Yuanfang shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible! There is no horse in the world that can take such a huge step. This is definitely not a horse!"

"What could it be if it weren't a horse? Could it be a monster?" Zhou You also shook his head and smiled: "Yuanfang, everything in the world is always a little strange. It is not impossible that some particularly tall horses are occasionally born among horses.

However, such a horse, such a tall and magnificent horse, I am afraid there will be no such thing among the people, unless it is..."

Before Zhou You finished speaking, Di Renjie and Zeng Tai had already walked out of the grass not far away. Seeing Zhou You, Di Renjie was also a little surprised and unexpectedly came forward and said: "Zhou You!"

"Sir, I know that wherever there are strange cases, you are indispensable!" Zhou You also came forward and said with a smile: "How is it? From the look of your Excellency, you must have gained something, right?"

"Well, we have some clues," Di Renjie said and asked: "By the way, Zhou You, why are you here? Could it be that this dead person..."

"Sir, you are indeed wise. It seems that you have guessed it. Yes, if nothing else happens, the person who died should be the inner guard," Zhou You nodded.

"What? The one who died was the inner guard?" Zeng Tai on the side stared in surprise, and then suddenly said: "Oh, no wonder the teacher said that people who drove to the capital of the gods overnight could open the city gate. It turned out that he was the inner guard.

Wei! Yes, that makes sense."

Di Renjie on the side suddenly said: "So that's it! Why did the murderers cut off their heads and left arms? It turned out that they were afraid that we would find out the identity of the deceased. But why did they kill the internal guards?

Wei Yuye rushed to the capital of the gods, why?"

"Of course it is an important matter. The purpose of the killer is not to let them bring a message back to the capital of the gods," Zhou Youlian said: "Yesterday, my inner guard leader Sun Dianchen was killed in Luoyang City. And he died here.

, just his entourage and substitute."

"That's it!" Di Renjie said, "Who is it that wants to kill the inner guard? Zhou You, do you already know something?"

Zhou You was noncommittal, and stretched out his hand to signal Di Renjie to come aside and talk. After the two of them were in a secluded patch of grass, Zhou You's words made Di Renjie's expression change: "Yesterday in Luoyang City, it was Hu Jinghui who killed Sun Dianchen.

"

"What?" Di Renjie was taken aback, and then said hurriedly: "Didn't you say that he had disappeared into hiding? How could he appear in the capital again?"

"I don't know, but I know that Hu Jinghui and the people behind him are probably targeting the emperor," Zhou You said, shaking his head, and then said seriously.

"Emperor?" Di Renjie was startled again when he heard this, and then looked at Zhou You in surprise: "You mean the person behind Hu Jinghui? Could it be..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou You nodded slightly: "I suspect that it is very likely that he is the mastermind behind the Youzhou case. This power should not be underestimated, and has even penetrated into the internal guards. Moreover,

, A few days ago, the palace was haunted, and I accidentally found some ecstasy drugs in the incense burner in His Majesty's palace."

"Does the emperor know the inside story?" When Di Renjie heard this, his brows furrowed and his expression became serious, and then he asked quickly.

"Of course! This matter is important, how dare I hide it from the emperor?" Zhou Youlian said: "Moreover, their target is the emperor. If I didn't remind your majesty earlier, I'm afraid your majesty might really fall into their scheme. But now,

I still don’t know what the plot of these people is. But they dare to use the Bloody Eagle case to massacre the internal guards. They are really bold and their power cannot be underestimated."

"The Bloody Eagle? Are you saying that the Bloody Eagle cases that happened in Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong were the purges of the internal guards by these people?" Di Renjie gasped again when he heard this.

Zhou Youlian nodded and said: "Yes! I have received the news from Sun Dianchen a long time ago. There is a force infiltrating among the inner guards with evil intentions. Before his death, there was also news from Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong.

News of the murder of Dao Neiwei."

"It seems that this is indeed no ordinary case. There is an undercurrent hidden behind this case, and there is a big hand controlling everything!" Di Renjie said seriously.

"So, I hope you can investigate this case in detail and maybe dig out some useful information," Zhou Youlian said: "The people behind this are too powerful. Only by breaking the cover can we hope to expose them."
