In the early morning of the next day, many unidentified corpses appeared on various street corners in Xijing.
They are dressed in different ages and genders, but there is one thing that is surprisingly consistent: there is a black feather on their bodies!
Soon after these corpses appeared, the yamen servants of the capital yamen appeared and took them away. No one among the common people knew the real reason behind them.
Even the governor of the capital city just received an order to deal with the matter coldly without making a fuss and asking why.
In the morning, the sun had just risen in the east, so Li Chengfeng changed his clothes early, prepared some snacks and headed to Zuixian Tower.
Looking at the lively street scene along the way, Li Chengfeng lightly waved the paper fan in his hand like a handsome young man.
Before he arrived at the Zuixian Tower, he saw people gathering at the street corner in the distance, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"Isn't this the boss Liu of the **** shop in the east of the city? Why did he die here?"
"That's right! Today I saw those policemen picking up a lot of strange corpses."
"Do you think there are some gods and ghosts? Otherwise, why did Boss Liu die in such a strange way?"
"Isn't it? Look at your whole body, only the bottom of your trousers..."
"Hey, don't care about our business, the official will be here in a while."
Li Chengfeng's ears trembled slightly as he listened carefully to the conversation of the crowd, feeling a little curious in his heart.
Such a coincidence? I just woke up yesterday, and this kind of thing happened in the city today.
Squeezing away from the crowd, Li Chengfeng saw the strange corpse mentioned by the onlookers.
Only the underwear was left on the corpse, but other clothes were neatly folded beside the corpse.
Moreover, the deceased folded his hands on his chest and curled up into a ball.
He also had some vague smiles on his face, which made his scalp tingle.
Li Chengfeng was very puzzled and puzzled when he saw such a death. As a fan of past life reasoning, he couldn't think of a clue.
At this moment, there was the sound of orderly footsteps behind him, and a dozen or so fully armed soldiers wearing black iron masks ran towards the corpse.
Li Chengfeng had never seen the standard armor and masks on these people, and they had never appeared on the street.
The soldiers could not help separating the crowd, carried away the corpse on a stretcher and walked north of the city.
"North of the city? That's not the direction of the government office, nor the location of the office!"
Li Chengfeng left the crowd and quietly put down his snacks, secretly followed behind these officers and soldiers, and rushed to the north of the city.
After he disappeared, the shadow appeared in the same place where the corpse appeared just now.
"It's bad, why did the eighth prince get involved, this is troublesome!" Shadow cursed secretly.
After half an hour, Li Chengfeng, who had been following the army, went around countless corners, but lost it near the city gate.
Those black-armored guards disappeared before his eyes like the world evaporated.
You must know that even if his strength has not fully recovered, his perception is still far superior to ordinary people, and he has lost these ordinary people?
Just when he was full of doubts, Li Chengfeng saw the shadow standing behind him.
Facing Li Chengfeng who was full of question marks, Ying Ying did not immediately explain, but gestured for Li Chengfeng to follow him.
The two walked for another half an hour and came to a small bungalow with three connected rooms.
The walls of these small bungalows were covered with moss, and spider webs stuck the oil-paper windows full of broken copper.
"Eighth Prince, I have something to ask you!" Shadow stopped and turned to Li Chengfeng who was behind him.
But before Li Chengfeng could speak, Shadow opened the door and walked into the room full of cobwebs and dust.
Li Chengfeng looked around carefully, he would not simply think that the shadow brought him here just for conversation.
Sure enough, after looking around, he found an unusual place.
The entire room was full of dust, but there was one corner where the dust was very dense, as if it had been piled on purpose.
Seeing that Li Chengfeng noticed something strange in the room, the shadow beside him smiled wryly.
"It seems that the pretender is being lazy again. Since the Eighth Prince has found out, let's go in and talk!"
Shadow nodded, and led Li Chengfeng into the unusual corner just now.
Lifting the bluestone slab under their feet, a one-meter-wide passage appeared in front of the two of them.
The shadow jumped in without further ado, and Li Chengfeng followed him into the dark passage.
The whistling wind sounded in his ears, and Li Chengfeng finally saw the light again after two quarters of an hour in the passage of the Jiuqu ileum.
A square of more than ten square meters appeared in front of him, and a dozen black-armored soldiers walked around here.
In addition, Li Chengfeng was surprised to find the strange corpse he had seen on the street before.
Not only that corpse, but every man in black lay this strangely dead corpse in front of him.
Just when he was in a fog, the shadow beside him spoke.
Only then did Li Chengfeng understand the cause and effect.
It turned out that the corpses with black feathers on the streets today were all assassinated by these black feather guards.
They are the real power to secretly guard Datang, and they are the silent white gloves in Li Shimin's hands.
And those people who died were not ordinary people in the mouth of the onlookers.
Those who died and were assassinated by Heiyu were hidden stakes buried by the Kunsa sect in the east.
But the shopkeeper that Li Chengfeng met today was from Heiyu, and it was the demonstration of the Kunsa sect against Heiyu.
The most strange thing in the mind of the commander of the shadow as the black feather is that these colleagues who were killed did not have any scars on their bodies.
"So I invite the Eighth Prince to come here today, because I want His Highness to explain my confusion to you!" Shadow said, clasping his hands.
Li Chengfeng nodded, he could understand the shadow's thoughts.
Those Black Feather soldiers were all selected by Shadow, and he cultivated them day by day.
Now these people have given up their identities and families in order to protect Datang.
As their leader and eldest brother, Shadow naturally didn't want them to die in an unclear manner.
After pondering for a moment, Li Chengfeng finally agreed to Shadow's request, and walked with him to the corpses of those black feathers and dark piles.
Without exception, these corpses were all curled up, with a wry smile on their faces, without any wounds on their bodies.
He reached out and touched the arms beside the corpses, the cold touch made Li Chengfeng think of a possibility. UU Reading
This kind of death is very similar to the case of hypothermia in the forensic case he saw before traveling over.
A hypothermia usually requires a rapid drop in body temperature or cold weather to cause it.
So before he touched the corpse, he was afraid to confirm that the cause of death of the corpse was hypothermia.
"They should all be thrown into the ice cave immediately when they were unconscious or under control, and their body temperature dropped rapidly to cause such death!"
"If you want to find those members of the Kunsa religion, you should thoroughly investigate the places in the city where ice is stored." Li Chengfeng said slowly.
Shadow suddenly realized that he patted his forehead and suddenly realized that he had thought about poisoning and suffocating.
But they ignored the possibility of being frozen to death. After all, it is May, how could they be frozen to death when the weather is hot!
"My subordinates thank the Eighth Prince!" Shadow walked up to Li Chengfeng, knelt down and saluted Li Chengfeng deeply.
