Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 148 Girl Killer

The sky is bright.

The fog was steep.

The entire Shangyuan City was shrouded in mist...

The fire at Qinglan Temple has been extinguished by the soldiers, and many Taoist nuns have also been captured one by one.

At this moment, Xu Zun and others are interrogating one of the nuns in the classroom of Qinglan Academy.

"...I really don't know. I'm just an ordinary disciple. I will execute whatever order Daoist gives, but I don't know exactly what's going on..."

The person who was interrogated was an older Taoist nun. According to others, this Taoist nun was of a higher rank and had access to the main deity of Qinglan Temple.

"Where did those girls come from? What did you feed them?" Xu Zun asked, "Also, when did it start?"

"I don't know where it came from. It seems that people from Chongtian Temple brought it back from all over the country!" Taoist nun replied, "Dao Zun asked us to give them a kind of pill. After eating, those children will be very obedient. , let them do whatever they want...

"As for when it started," she recalled, "about four years?"

"So, you already know that those Taoist priests in Chongtian Temple are also subordinates of your temple master?" Xu Zun asked.

"I didn't know at first," the Taoist aunt replied, "We didn't know until a few days ago when a large number of Taoist priests moved into the Moon Tower."

"Those girls are trained to be killers, where are they going to be sent?" Xu Zun asked again, "In the past four years, have any of them been successfully trained?"

"Yes!" Taoist nun nodded, "More than a dozen outstanding girls have been successfully trained, but we don't know where they were sent..."

Hearing this, Xu Zun and Shen Xinglian glanced at each other, both of them realized that this matter was not only of great importance, but also touched the safety of the saint!
You must know that Qinglan Temple was conferred by the Empress Dowager herself, and the master of Qinglan Temple can send female Beijing officials to the capital Xuanmiao City every year, and Marquis Changping also has the right to recommend the draft in the palace.

If the dozen or so trained assassins had already entered the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The matter is of great importance, although Xu Zun has already sent someone to call Li Yan, the governor of Tangzhou, but now it seems that even if Li Yan comes, he must be caught blind!

Therefore, Xu Zun made up his mind and wanted to send someone to Xuanmiao City immediately to inform Dali Temple and Neiwei Mansion so that the palace would pay attention to it, fearing that something serious would happen if it was too late.

However, Shen Xinglian raised a different opinion.

"Xu Zun," Shen Xinglian persuaded, "the case hasn't been cleared yet, so it's not too late to send the letter after the trial is over!? If you send people over in such a hurry, I'm worried if the matter is unclear. It will backfire!"

"No," Xu Zun said decisively, "I'm worried that they have a big conspiracy, and now it has been exposed, which will be detrimental to the imperial power!"

"Xu Zun, listen to me..."

Shen Xinglian looked around, then pulled Xu Zun into a corner, and whispered his biggest worry:

"Xu Zun, could there be other reasons for this matter!" He lowered his voice and said cautiously, "The Lord Qinglan is well appreciated by the Queen Mother, I suspect...the things here are not as you and I imagined... It's all... all that!"

"Yeah!" Xu Zun nodded and said, "Xinglian, I understand what you mean, I have also thought about it before, is it possible that the Master Qinglan is cultivating good-looking and qualified girl killers in the temple? Working for the Empress Dowager, those girls are all used by the Empress Dowager?"

"Yes, yes!" On such a cold day, Shen Xinglian was sweating profusely, obviously already extremely nervous, "If that's the case, wouldn't we have stabbed a hornet's nest?"

"Impossible," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this matter is absolutely impossible to be ordered by the Queen Mother!"

"Ah?" Shen Xinglian was surprised, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple," Xu Zun said, "After I came to Shangyuan City, there was no resistance in solving the case of the female corpse in monk clothes, but as long as I wanted to investigate the case of the missing girl, I would encounter obstacles from many parties, even Lu All bookstores were burned down!

"But the more it was like this, the more unusual it was for me, so I joined forces with Lu Mingyue to continue the investigation, and finally... some people couldn't take it anymore!

"In order to prevent us from continuing the investigation, they deliberately let Luo Yu show his feet in the bank, and then killed Yuyangzi.

"Then we sent Wei Beihui to lead us to break through the concept of worshiping heaven, so as to find the missing Lu Xiaofeng!
"In order to have a clear understanding of my situation, they also painstakingly arranged for me a spy, that girl from Yuanzhou, Ani!"

"This..." Shen Xinglian still couldn't understand, "What does this have to do with what we are worried about?"

"Listen to me," Xu Zun said, "What they mean is that as long as Lu Xiaofeng is found, Lu Mingyue will no longer insist on those missing girls.

"And Li Yan and I are bound to be involved in the case of Chongtianguan, and have no time to investigate those missing girls.

"At the same time," Xu Zun said again, "They are also sure that Lu Xiaofeng will be settled in the Marquis Mansion by Lu Mingyue, so they take the opportunity to prescribe medicine to Lu Xiaofeng every day to ensure that Lu Xiaofeng will not reveal the secret...

"I said so, do you understand?"

Shen Xinglian grinned, showing that he was even more confused.

"Think about it," Xu Zun said, "If this matter is really related to the Queen Mother, and those female assassins were all trained for the Queen Mother, then...do they have to give up such a big view of heaven to attract attention?

"All you need is for the inner guard to come forward, give Li Yan or me an order, arrange a mission for us at will, and transfer us away from Shangyuan City, won't we be done?"

"Oh..." Shen Xinglian pondered carefully, and only then did he understand what Xu Zun meant.

"If my guess is right," Xu Zun said, "the Chongtian temple trains thugs, that is, the watch bandits who attacked the county government. Girl, take her captive to Qinglan Temple.

"And these girl killers cultivated in Qinglan Temple are their ultimate goal!"

"Tsk tsk..." Hearing Xu Zun's analysis, Shen Xinglian finally understood how urgent the situation was, and said hastily, "In this case, I will send someone to Xuanmiao City right now! What if those girl killers are already beside the Queen Mother and Long Live?" , then it will be troublesome!"

"Star Chain," at this time, Xu Zun expressed his greatest worry, "Think about it, if they give up such a big concept of worshiping the heavens, they abandon it as soon as they say it, so does it mean... um..."

"Ah!?" Shen Xinglian turned pale with shock, "You mean, there is not only Chongtian Temple under them?"

"Shangxuan defeats the strange, and the gods return to the original." Xu Zun asked recalling, "Xinglian, have you heard of these two sentences?"

"What... what is this?" Shen Xinglian shook his head, "I've never heard of it!"

"It's a bit like the slogan of a cult." Xu Zun said, "It was said by a girl who was brainwashed. It's strange, if it's just training assassins, it seems that there is no need for them to say these slogans, right?

"I suspect..." he said with his brows furrowed tightly, "Qinglanguan may not be the mastermind behind them, maybe there is an even more evil and powerful force behind them..."
