Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 157 Nowhere to escape?
"The inner guard didn't come with us..." Unexpectedly, after hearing Xu Zun's question, Chen Taiji actually said, "So...we don't know the specific news from the palace!"

"Ah?" Xu Zun frowned, and quickly asked, "Then the news we reported, has it reached the palace?"

"Of course, of course," Chen Taiji said, "otherwise, Master Li and I would not have been appointed by the Holy One.

"Now, no matter whether it is the Empress Dowager, the cabinet, or the Three Law Departments, they all know that such a major incident happened in Shangyuan City!"

"Master Chen, you still don't understand what I mean," Xu Zun said eagerly, "Daoist Qinglan and Marquis Changping have cultivated a group of young girl killers, and these killers may have sneaked into the palace for conspiracy, so... "

"Understood, understood," Chen Taiji nodded and said, "This case is of great importance, and concerns the safety of the Empress Dowager and the Holy Majesty, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple really have no way of knowing what is going on in the palace right now!
"Jiying," Chen Taiji motioned for Xu Zun to sit down and talk, and then said, "After receiving your report, our Sanfa Division conducted an investigation overnight. There are beautiful women.

"But..." Chen Taiji said helplessly, "It's very strange, except for a few talented women who applied for female officials in the name of Qinglan Academy, there is no other recommendation.

"Moreover, these talented women did not make it to the list."

"Ah?" Xu Zun was surprised, "No?"

"It's the same for Marquis Changping," Chen Taiji said again, "Although he has the quota to recommend a beautiful girl, he has never recommended a beautiful girl to the palace!
"So... Judging from superficial information, Taoist Qinglan and Marquis Changping seem to have nothing to do with the palace!"

"It's like this!?" Xu Zun frowned, puzzled.

According to common sense, if Daoist Qing Lan and Chang Ping Hou Jian pointed at the imperial power, then the training of these girl killers must be transported to the palace in order to pose a threat to the imperial power.

But now there is no such thing, so where did they send those girl killers?

They spend so much time and energy, it is impossible to train them just for the purpose of training killers, they must have a plan!

"Of course, no matter what you say," Chen Taiji said, "Jiying, you have made a great contribution, and you will be rewarded by the Queen Mother and the Holy One soon!"

"My lord," Xu Zun first looked at Li Jinlou, and then said in a low voice, "This matter is definitely not that simple. The humble official has now found out that this case is related to the Xuanmen cult that has disappeared for more than a hundred years!"

"This..." Chen Taiji also glanced at Li Jinlou unnaturally.

However, Li Jinlou acted as if he hadn't heard it, and sat in the center seat, sipping tea leisurely.

"Jiying," Chen Taiji said, "Although Xuanmen has been extinct for more than a hundred years, it is still a taboo word in the palace. It doesn't matter if you and I talk like this, but when you see princes and nobles in the future, you must be cautious." Say it!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun was surprised, he didn't expect that Xuanmen is still a kind of taboo.

But taboo doesn't mean it doesn't exist?

"My lord," Xu Zun said solemnly, "According to my speculation, Taoism is by no means as simple as resurgence. I am worried that they have even become a climate!"

"Bold!" Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Li Jinlou slammed his teacup on the table and reprimanded Xu Zun, "It's alarmist! It's just a small cult, what can it do?"

"You?" Xu Zun said, "Marquis Changping is the Marquis of Daxuan, and Daoist Qinglan is also appointed by the Empress Dowager. They built a secret base, cultivated a group of dead men such as Chongtian Temple, and secretly cultivated a group of mysterious Girl killer! Is this still called a small cult?

"Moreover, I suspect that they are also instigated by others, and there are even more powerful masterminds behind them, and the threat of Xuanmen is definitely not limited to Shangyuan City!"

"Bold! Speech nonsense!" Li Jinlou glared again, and said arrogantly, "I think you couldn't catch the culprit, so you deliberately exaggerated to cover up your crime of dereliction of duty!
"You also said that they are already so rampant, but you Tangzhou prefect and Shangyuan county are all blind without long eyes?

"In my opinion, you are all responsible for negligence! Hmph..."

"Lord Li, Lord Li, you are wronged!" Li Yan hurriedly got up and explained, "The Master Qinglan and Marquis Changping are of high status. How can our prefectures and counties dare to ask what they are going to do?"

"Yes, my lord, Mingjian," Dong Wanxing echoed, "In the entire Tangzhou, who dares to search Qinglan Temple and Changpinghou's Mansion?"

"Okay, okay!" Seeing that the scene was going out of control, Chen Taiji hurriedly stopped Li Jinlou, and said, "Xu Zun, we only saw the report before and didn't know the details. Let's talk!"

Seeing Chen Taiji smoothing things over, Li Jinlou closed his mouth, but still had an arrogant and arrogant face.

Xu Zun also knew that it was difficult to communicate with officials like Li Jinlou, so he pulled the chair in front of Chen Taiji and told about the whole incident of the girl's disappearance.

This is not the first time Xu Zun has told about the case, he immediately spoke vividly and vividly, especially the fierce battle in the Shangyuan County Yamen, which made Chen Taiji's palms sweat.

Then Li Jinlou frowned again and again, but he didn't expect the case to be so tortuous.

After the speech, Chen Taiji was so fascinated by it, he praised:
"Oh, during the iron coffin case, I amazed Ji Ying as a heavenly being!
"I didn't expect that this time I would continue to write the legend, and Tangzhou was promoted to be a criminal officer. This position is really suitable for you!"

"My lord, thank you!" Xu Zun said modestly.

"If you didn't see clearly," Chen Taiji praised, "I'm afraid no one will know about the thief's plot!"

"My lord," Xu Zun said, "I've already explained the case to you clearly, so from now on, I'll rely on your lord to preside over the follow-up work!"

"Hmm..." Chen Taiji stroked his beard and nodded, and said, "This time, the two of us came in a hurry, and the Holy Master just ordered us to know the details as soon as possible.

"So, the two of us are just monitoring. If we can really deal with the aftermath, we have to wait for the Holy Spirit's will!"

"Master Chen," Li Yan asked, "Other things are easy to talk about, but Marquis Changping is a Marquis after all. Look, did the Holy Spirit mention how to deal with it?"

"Master Li asked a good question," Chen Taiji continued to stroke his beard, "it happened so suddenly, it is impossible for the Holy Majesty to decree to cut down the nobles in such a short time, so the meaning of the above is to temporarily block the Marquis Mansion and detain the relevant personnel until the time comes." Find out the facts of the case, and then deal with it!

"However, don't worry, the Ministry of Punishment has joined forces with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to arrest Changping Marquis Lu Jinlong and Daoist Qinglan and others across the country.

"I believe, they have nowhere to escape..."
