Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 203 The Deadly Truth

"Who the hell are you?"

Facing Tao Lang who was tied up, Xu Zun began to ask questions.

At this moment, the others had exited the bedroom, and apart from the corpse, there were only the two of them left in the bedroom.

Just in case, Xu Zun deliberately kept a little distance from Tao Lang and was close to the door.

After all, too many accidents had happened before, and Xu Zun couldn't believe his own judgment of the strength of the martial arts practitioners.

Although Tao Lang was double bound with iron chains and ropes, he could no longer rest assured.

"Who am I? Hehe..." Tao Lang smiled bitterly, "I am a Gongsheng in the first year of Taikang, and I was recommended to be an official in Tangzhou after being recommended by others. I was the magistrate of Wuling and Jinxuan, and was recommended by Li Yan, the governor. In the three years since Taikang, Yonghui has served as the sheriff."

"Oh..." Xu Zun pondered for a while and asked, "Then who is your superior?"

"I have already said that my official is the Governor of Yonghui, and my superior is Li Yan, the governor of Tangzhou." Tao Lang replied with a straight chest.

"I didn't ask this," Xu Zun said, "I'm asking about another superior of yours, the superior who asked you to commit the murder of evil spirits in Yonghui, and asked you to sow dissension and cause gang fights, which led to chaos in Yonghui!"

"That's it," Tao Lang paused for a moment, and said quietly, "Master Xu, can't I do this alone?

"After I came to Yonghui, I saw that the majestic county mansion was insulted by those Jianghu sects, and I was unhappy, so I secretly vowed to eradicate them all and restore my Daxuan law.

"Master Xu, is it wrong for me to do this?"

"You're not deaf, don't say you didn't hear what I just said," Xu Zun said, "First, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to convince Wan Qifeng; second, you don't need to pretend to be a trickster if you want to sow discord!"

"Oh?" Tao Lang pretended to be surprised, and asked back, "Then according to Xu's advice, what is the reason for me to commit the murder of evil spirits?"

"Kill people to kill people," Xu Zun said, "Using evil spirits to kill people is naturally to disturb people's hearts. It doesn't matter if there is chaos in Yonghui, but if people are confused, it will be a real disaster!"

"Well... it makes sense," Tao Lang nodded slightly, and said, "Xu Tixing is thoughtful and extremely smart, but sometimes, being too smart may not be a good thing!
"You really shouldn't have solved the case of the evil spirit Yonghui!"

"You haven't told me yet, who is your real superior?" Xu Zun said, "Should he have a lot of background, right? Even Wanqifeng has to obey orders?"

"What?" Tao Lang's eyes widened, "We've been talking for a long time, haven't you guessed the truth yet?"

"..." Xu Zun frowned tightly, savoring the meaning in Tao Lang's eyes.

"Let me give you a hint," Tao Lang said, "Do you really think that we were manipulated and instigated by some evil force, so we have devoted ourselves to planning today's action for many years?"

"You..." Hearing these words, Xu Zun faintly confirmed a thought in his heart.

Before, he had already guessed a certain truth, but this truth...is really unacceptable!
"Yonghui chaos," Xu Zun asked, "what's the use? Is it related to the Ruan family in Xiazhou?"

"Master Xu..." Tao Lang shook his head in disappointment, pointed to the secret passage in the wall with his eyes and said, "Go in and have a look! The answer is inside!"

Oh?
Xu Zun looked at the dark secret road and felt that the situation was getting worse.

"Zhao Yu!"

Xu Zun called out, and Zhao Yu came in with a knife.

"Come!" Xu Zun ordered, "Take Governor Tao, let's go in and have a look together!"

"Yes."

Zhao Yu didn't say much, immediately mentioned Tao Lang and pushed him to the secret path.

"There's no need to be so nervous," Tao Lang said, "After you go in later, you will take the initiative to let me go!"

Under Xu Zun's signal, the three of them walked into the secret passage and walked deep into the secret passage.

The secret road is relatively simple, with dirt on both sides, it is clearly a freshly dug earth road.

However, after walking to the end of the secret passage, a hall suddenly opened up in front of him.

There was a stench of animal dung in the air, and a smell of gunpowder like sulfur and saltpeter.

Among them, there are two grooves tied with iron chains, which are clearly the nests of the two leopards.

It seems that they trained the leopards from this place and disguised them as evil spirits.

Going forward, there is another wider hall.

Since the torches were lit on the wall, they could clearly see that there was a huge monster piled up in the center of the hall!
But seeing that this huge monster has a dragon-like head, scales all over its body, and huge sharp claws, it looks like a dragon, but it looks more like some kind of monster.

This thing is also woven with a special metal sheet, and there are various organs in the monster's stomach...

Seeing this scene, Xu Zun clicked his tongue instantly, stared in disbelief and guessed:
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the Suan Ni ghost in the local legend of Yonghui, right?"

"Haha," Tao Lang said with a smile, "Master Xu has good eyesight. Now that you have recognized him, you now know how much trouble you have caused, right?"

"What!?" Xu Zun hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Yu quit, holding up his saber and yelling, "How dare you speak wild words like a prisoner? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?"

Xu Zun raised his hand to stop Zhao Yu, the expression on his face also changed greatly.

"I understand," Xu Zun looked at Tao Lang and said seriously, "Master Tao, what I have to do now is to untie you, right?"

"What!?" Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Hehe, you're wise!" Tao Lang smiled triumphantly, "It's fine if you don't let go, it won't be too late for me to tell you the truth, but... are you sure, do you really want to know the truth?"

Xu Zun walked up to Tao Lang slowly, and said a shocking sentence:
"You...are the empress dowager!!?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu was tongue-tied, confused on the spot.

"Hahaha..." Tao Lang said with a smile, "Master Xu, let's go to the end! If you're lucky, you'll be the only one killed. Don't implicate your subordinates!"

"What... what..." Zhao Yu finally felt that something was wrong, and fear appeared in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun patted Zhao Yu's shoulder, "This is also an inner guard, who lives and dies with me, and is trustworthy. So, let us die to understand!"

"Don't...don't..." Zhao Yu was even more confused, "I... I don't know anything? Otherwise, you two have a good chat, and I'll go out to get some air first? I'm a little nervous here, ha ha ..."

"The [-] cavalry of General Jinghui of Hanzhou are waiting for orders at Yunlong Mountain!" Tao Lang said excitedly, "As soon as the Suan Ni ghost comes out, the [-] cavalry will step into Yonghui City!
"You..." Tao Lang stared at Xu Zun and the two of them and said, "Now you know whose way you are blocking?"

When Lang Lang...

Zhao Yu was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the knife firmly and fell to the ground.

"No way!?" Zhao Yu's eyeballs were almost falling to the ground, and he asked excitedly, "What are you kidding? Why did the iron cavalry enter Yonghui City? What's the matter with this suanni ghost? Besides... this suanni Isn’t the ghost ghost also a fake?”

"Master Xu," Tao Lang said angrily while staring at Xu Zun, "now you know who my superior is, right?
