Chapter 115 Choice
According to the Black Armor Guards' estimate, about four or five households may have noticed what happened tonight.
The first clash between the two groups of black-armored guards broke through the courtyards of two households.
Given the commotion that later became so loud, it's very likely that two nearby households also heard it.
Although they hadn't lit any oil lamps, the Black Armor Guards had already rushed in and taken control of everyone inside.
Inside the dark room, soft sobs could be heard intermittently.
Sun Qiao'er stood in front of Ding Yi, awaiting his decision.
Ding Yi glanced at the sky, then said to Sun Qiao'er:
"Take care of things here as soon as possible, don't leave any clues. I'm going back now, I have to go on duty tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er asked:
"Sir, should we arrange for you to be assigned to the Censorate?"
"No need. Our relationship remains normal. I am just a spy you sent into Baiyun Martial Arts School. Do not reveal your identity."
Ding Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Understood."
Sun Qiao'er answered in response.
"By the way, wait for me in my courtyard tomorrow. I have some questions to ask you."
"Also, was that huge noise I heard in the yard this time from explosives?"
Ding Yi suddenly thought of something and said to Sun Qiao'er again.
"Yes, sir. These were originally controlled by the imperial army, but somehow the Chaotic God Cult got hold of the recipe. They love to use these strange contraptions to ambush worshippers."
Sun Qiao'er replied.
"I want these explosives."
Ding Yi said.
“Well, sir, I will try my best to keep an eye out for you. Even if we can’t find it this time, the Censorate has some explosives.”
Although she didn't know what Ding Yi was going to do, Sun Qiao'er still agreed.
Ding Yi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. With Sun Qiao'er's help, many things were finally starting to become simpler.
Finally, Ding Yi gave Sun Qiao'er a few more instructions before heading towards his own courtyard.
At this moment, the black-armored guards who had been rushing around the city had finally disappeared. Every household kept their windows tightly shut, fearing that they might have seen or heard something that would bring unnecessary trouble.
Severed limbs and dried, dark brown bloodstains were frequently seen on the wide streets.
Some police officers were loudly reprimanding some laborers, telling them to clean up the bloodstains and debris on the street as soon as possible.
The laborers looked tense, their hands trembling slightly as they held brooms and mops, but they still worked hard to clean up the traces on the street.
Some officers were still hurrying through the streets, carrying portraits and searching suspicious places according to the portraits.
At this moment, Ding Yi had already taken off his black clothes and was still wearing his Flying Cloud Robe.
On the way, some officers came to question him, but Ding Yi said that he was on a mission and that he was not on the wanted poster the officers were holding, so the matter was dropped.
Before attacking Yu Rongguang, Sun Qiao'er had already sent someone to the patrol office to explain Ding Yi's situation. Otherwise, given Ding Yi's status as a true disciple of the Bai family martial arts school, he would probably have been arrested by the officers with his portrait long ago.
And so it wasn't until almost dawn that Ding Yi finally returned to his small courtyard, somewhat exhausted.
This was the longest night he had ever spent.
Fortunately, the result was good.
He not only successfully controlled the special envoy Sun Qiao'er, but also resolved the variable of Yu Rongguang. Next, as long as Baiyun Temple is removed, there will be no unstable factors in the entire Qingfeng County for the time being.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he glanced at the corpse still lying in the courtyard and slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten about this unlucky fellow.
Ding Yi went into the house and came out again shortly afterward, holding a porcelain bottle containing "corpse-dissolving water" in his hand. He then took off his flying cloud robe and the black clothes he had stuffed into his arms, and threw them at the man.
As the corpse-dissolving liquid was poured out, white steam immediately rose from the corpse. The corpse, along with its bones, began to rapidly melt into blood, just like last time, and seeped into the soil in the yard.
Seeing this, Ding Yi returned to the hut with a normal expression, took out a wooden bucket filled with water, and began to pour water onto the red soil to dilute it.
After working for half a day, it was already getting light. Ding Yi realized he didn't need to sleep anymore, so he went back to his room, got dressed, and prepared to go straight to his shift.
One can imagine how exciting today's duty roster will be after last night's dramatic turn of events.
As Ding Yi stepped out of the courtyard, he found that many people had already walked out onto the street.
Officials on horseback began to ride through the streets, announcing that the ban on closing doors had been lifted and everyone could resume their daily work.
But those who walked out of the courtyard still looked frightened and were talking to each other in hushed tones, as if they were discussing what they had seen and heard the night before.
"My goodness! You have no idea, three rioters broke in last night, and I chased them all away with one punch each!"
A man was excitedly describing to his neighbor what had happened the night before.
"Come on, you coward! You wouldn't kneel down and call the rebels 'grandpa' if you met them, and you'd punch them all?! Bah!"
"If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. Why are you even swearing at me!"
"In the middle of the night, you wouldn't believe it, the sound of the black-armored guards' horses' hooves kept ringing. I even suspected that these rebels hadn't all been captured!"
"They definitely haven't finished catching them all! I could hear people climbing in and out of my yard, it scared me to death!"
"You didn't wet your pants?"
I'll pee in your mouth!
"Stop arguing, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Just wait for Master Chai to arrest them all!"
Ding Yi glanced at the residents who were actually quite excited, shook his head slightly, and then headed towards the patrol office.
Upon arriving at the Inspection Division, Ding Yi immediately sensed the unusually heavy atmosphere.
Many signs are missing from the wooden frame. It's time for roll call, so it seems these people won't be able to come.
As for why they couldn't come, everyone knew the reason for the chaos last night, so the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Zhao Xuan's face turned even more ashen. He stood in the courtyard, looking at his team, which was almost half missing, and suddenly pointed at Wu Qingfeng next to him and started cursing.
"Wu Qingfeng!! You made a good choice!! Picking a rebel as deputy captain!! I think you did it on purpose!!"
Faced with Zhao Xuan's accusations, Wu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged; instead, he simply snorted coldly.
"How would I know if Nangong Tian is a rebel? As for this position, it was all appointed by Lord Wang. What, do you suspect that our lord is protecting rebels?"
"you!"
Zhao Xuan looked at Wu Qingfeng with hatred, his teeth clenched, but he couldn't say anything.
Just then, everyone suddenly heard a report coming from outside the door.
"Order received!"
