The three-day appointment is just a snap away.

The entire capital spent the first and second days in silent tension.

Xiao Yuci held the military power of the entire city and controlled the thunder without leaving any room.

The three fronts of the imperial army, the patrol battalion, and the palace secret guards worked in parallel, and based on the hidden hidden points of the hidden pavilion that had been previously locked, they cleared the area day and night and closed down the nets layer by layer.Streets and alleys, teahouses and inns, deserted courtyards on the outskirts of the city, river docks, every corner where secret agents were hiding were all removed one by one.

The Beijing eyeliner network operated by Ange for a century fell apart in just two days.

The strange traders and homeless travelers who used to hang out in the market all disappeared overnight and were quietly purged and taken away.There was no noise and turmoil, no bloody rumors, the court did not mention a word to the outside world, and the people were unaware of it. Only the top powers and the forces behind the scenes knew——

The century-old secret pavilion, the hidden thread that had been rooted in the capital for decades, was completely broken.

Tinglanyuan of the Prime Minister's Mansion became the temporary operations center for these two days.

Shen Qingyuan sat in front of the case, holding the old records of Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty, comparing the information on the dark pavilion strongholds, checking them one by one, and filling in the gaps.

She is familiar with the concealment methods, hiding habits, and communication methods used by the Ange. These are records passed down from generation to generation by the mother clan to restrain rebels, and ordinary people in the court have no way of knowing.

It was precisely because of her cooperation that Xiao Yuci's purge operation was so fast, thorough, precise and without any omissions.

"Three secret passages in the western suburbs, underwater piles in the river in the south of the city, and the mezzanine of an abandoned bank in the east of the city. These three places are the last secret communication points of the secret pavilion." Shen Qingyuan pointed his fingertips on the drawing and said softly, "The rest are all scrapped. Only these three places are left, and there are still a few people on duty."

Xiao Yuci stood beside her, looking down at the drawings with a stern look in his eyes: "At midnight tonight, we will eradicate them all. From now on, there will be no Ange spies or his eyes and ears in the capital."

No more eyeliners, no more subpoenas, no more backhands.

The master of the pavilion who is hiding in the dark will become completely alone. He has a century-old reputation, but is unable to move forward in the capital.

Chuntao stood aside, looking at the two people who were planning side by side for days, feeling reassured and nervous in her heart.

What is safe is that the prince is powerful and the young lady is unparalleled in wisdom, crushing the secret pavilion layout step by step.

The nervous thing is that once the three-day time limit is up, it will be the real peak confrontation, and no one knows the outcome.

"Miss, the master of the dark pavilion has never been able to hide, without even a trace showing up. Could he have another conspiracy?" Chuntao couldn't help but ask.

Shen Qingyuan raised her eyes to look out the window at the dark night, and said lightly: "He is not in a hurry, he is waiting."

"Wait for me to panic, wait for me to be confused, wait for me to get into trouble. He is used to manipulating people's hearts and arranging chess games. He is best at stopping people with silence and dragging them down."

But this time, she won't panic.

Xiao Yuci would not give her a chance to panic.

At midnight, the night is as dark as ink.

All the elite secret guards of the palace were dispatched to accurately attack the three final secret points of the secret pavilion.

In less than half a stick of incense, all the good news came back.

The last person on duty in the dark pavilion was all executed, and all secret letters, fragments, and communication equipment were confiscated and destroyed.
