Chapter 217 The Heavenly Tribulation Has Started

Heavenly catastrophe! ! ?

"My lords," Xu Zun stood up and asked, "What happened? Xuanmen...has really taken action?"

"Speaking... I'm really ashamed!" Cai Kun shook his head helplessly, and said to Xu Zun, "Xu Zun, Shangyuan City, we have already found the clue, but unfortunately... we checked the wrong direction!"

"Ah? What?" Xu Zun was even more confused and astonished, "Lord Cai, what happened?"

"At noon the day before yesterday," Cai Kun said with trembling cheeks, "an unprecedented mass assassination occurred in Xuanmiao City. A total of 17 people, including princes and ministers, were killed by the assassins..."

"what!!?"

Xu Zun only felt his head buzzing. Before that, he had never expected such a thing to happen.

"Liang Guogong Xue Guihua, Ministry of Industry Minister Yingrang, Lushan Gong Li Ren, Songzhou Governor Han Zhang, Cabinet Minister Lian Gelao, Dali Temple Minister Liu Jin..." Lin Chaofeng stood up and said heavily, "There is also the transfer envoy of the Holy Capital, General Habayashi Wei, Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Master Craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, Prison Envoy of the Ministry of Punishment, Supervising Censor, and even the Imperial Physician Xu Chi was not spared..."

While speaking, Lin Chaofeng's body swayed and was on the verge of falling, and he had to hold on to the incense burner to support his body.

Oh my God……

As if struck by lightning, Xu Zun asked inconceivably:
"This... is this impossible? These people are all princes and nobles, and they have bodyguards around them, and it is daytime. How could such a large-scale assassination be possible?"

"Xu Zun..." Cai Kun said tremblingly, "Didn't you discover that Xuanmen has cultivated many beautiful assassins after you broke the Qinglan concept?
"At that time, we entered into a misunderstanding. We only thought that those female assassins entered the palace through Qinglanguan and Changpinghou. So, we only checked the palace, but... but... oh..."

"Ah?" Xu Zun was shocked again, "So... so... those female assassins were not sent to the palace at all, but all... all sent to these ministers' residences?"

"Yes!" Cai Kun said with difficulty, "At noon the day before yesterday, a tragedy broke out, and some assassins were shot dead on the spot, and it turned out that the assassins were all the concubines of these princes and ministers!
"They have been dormant for many years, and they are delicate and beautiful, defenseless..."

"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Have you caught all the assassins?"

"No," Cai Kun shook his head, "Only a few were killed on the spot, and two of them committed suicide on the spot because they couldn't escape.

"The rest all escaped smoothly and disappeared without a trace!

"That day..." Cai Kun said helplessly, "The incident happened suddenly, and the city gate didn't receive any news, so most of them must have escaped from the city, right?"

"Huh..." Xu Zun staggered two steps and bumped into the chair behind him.

Given another thousand chances for him, he would never have imagined that those female assassins who were trained would be used in this way.

"The matter is of great importance," Cai Kun said again, "Once the news spreads, there will be panic, so the queen mother decided to temporarily block the news and investigate the case strictly.

"Now, you can't see anything outside, but the palace and the ministers' homes are already in chaos!"

"Wait...wait..." Xu Zun suddenly felt puzzled, and said, "It seems... unreasonable, right? The Xuanmen went against the party and prepared for several years, just to assassinate princes and ministers like me, Daxuan?
"Lin...Master Lin," he asked Lin Chaofeng, "Where did you get the term 'Heavenly Tribulation'?"

"Heavenly Tribulation is the most difficult calamity in Taoism," Lin Chaofeng said, "Those who defy the sky will suffer from Heavenly Tribulation. They are implying that I, Daxuan, violate the way of heaven!"

Lin Chaofeng spoke cryptically and did not answer Xu Zun's question.

But Xu Zun has already guessed a rough idea, since the Xuanmen has become a threat, presumably the inner guards have already placed undercover agents in the Xuanmen, right?
"Xu Zun..." Cai Kun frowned, as if he had aged many years overnight, "Xuanmen's attack this time has a very clear purpose. Although it can't be fatal immediately, it's almost there!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun was even more puzzled, "Why? My Daxuan is full of talents. Killing these princes and ministers can still touch the foundation of my Daxuan?"

"Hehe..." After Xu Zun finished speaking, Lin Chaofeng suddenly laughed, but the laughter was obviously full of bitterness.

"It's not as simple as you think," Cai Kun said, "First of all, you may not know that among the 17 people who were assassinated, none of them were from the Imperial Palace!
"There is no Inner Guard Mansion, there is no God Detective Division, there is no Wanfu Palace, and there are no people from the Lin family..."

Oh?
Hearing these words, Xu Zun seemed to understand something.

Wanfu Palace is the Empress Dowager's bedroom. The Empress Dowager's surname is Lin. The Lin family is the Empress Dowager's main family. The Neiwei Mansion and the Shenhun Department are both direct descendants of the Empress Dowager.

"But... Huh..." Cai Kun took a deep breath and continued, "Among the seventeen people, it seems that only the imperial doctor Xu Chi and the Queen Mother have no holidays, while the others..."

Depend on……

It's so poisonous!
Xu Zun finally understood that the reason why Xuanmen assassinated these seventeen people was to provoke Daxuan's internal conflicts and take the opportunity to blame the Queen Mother.

Xu Zun already knew before that there are three main factions in the current court, one is the real power faction of the Queen Mother, and it is also the current power faction;
One is the imperial power faction headed by the cabinet, who loyally support the emperor and always want the emperor to be in charge.

The other one is the Huangshu faction, these people are the brothers and relatives of the former emperor, they wander between the two factions, and they will not offend either side.

Now, the seventeen people who were assassinated happened to be members of the other two factions, so people's suspicions will inevitably arouse. Could it be that the Queen Mother was responsible for the assassination of these seventeen people?
Great!

It's amazing!

Xu Zun was secretly startled, it seems that this Xuanmen is really not someone to wait for.

Assassination is not terrible, the most terrible thing is the human heart!

"Besides..." Lin Chaofeng added, "This assassination and attack has not only alienated the forces in the court, but also aroused the empress dowager's suspicion.

"The queen mother thinks this way..." Lin Chaofeng said nervously, "Why are some ministers assassinated, but some ministers are fine? Those ministers who are fine, would they... have long known that there is such a thing?" assassinated?"

I click...

Xu Zun gasped, Lin Chaofeng's words were really horrifying after thinking carefully, according to the queen mother's intention, could it be that the surviving ministers also...also...

"A stroke of heavenly calamity, what a stroke of genius!" Lin Chaofeng said bitterly, "These Xuanmen rebels really deserve to be hacked into pieces!"

"My... my lord..." Xu Zun swallowed and asked, "Since the assassination has already happened, then... then... I..."

"The Empress Dowager originally wanted to summon you," Lin Chaofeng said after returning to normal, "but in this situation, it is naturally impossible!

"Xu Tixing, the Empress Dowager already knows what you did in Yonghui," he turned around, looked at Xu Zun and said, "Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted you to finish that matter, but now it seems that it is not right for you. We have to make other arrangements!"

"I don't know..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "What are the arrangements?"

"Hehehe," Lin Chaofeng smiled slightly, "Let's tell you the truth! Over the years, no one has ever caught the Daoist of the Taoist sect!

"So... your next mission is to eliminate the Xuanmen!" Lin Chaofeng said, "As long as you eliminate the Xuanmen, you can clarify the assassination incident, solve the empress dowager's worries, and relieve my great mystery!"

"Mm... my lord..." Xu Zun pondered for a few seconds, then clasped his fists at Lin Chaofeng and said, "Xu Zun is naturally obliged to eliminate the Taoist rebellious party.

"But...Xu has three conditions, which need to be agreed by adults!"

"Wow?" Lin Chaofeng sized up Xu Zun and said in surprise, "You actually... told me the conditions?"

"Xu Zun..." Cai Kun reprimanded, "Don't make mistakes!"

"Don't!" Lin Chaofeng waved his hand and asked, "Xu Zun, tell me, what conditions do you want?"

"First," said Xu Zun, "reward me with my old house!

"Secondly, don't touch the Yuanzhou woman Timur Ani under my command, because if you want to destroy Xuanmen, this woman will be of great use."

"Old house? A woman?"

Lin Chaofeng looked at Cai Kun.

Cai Kun hurriedly explained Xu Zun's background and Ani's situation.

"Oh... what are the conditions for me?" Lin Chaofeng smiled, "You just need to meet these two conditions, but the premise is that you really have two brushes, otherwise...

"By the way," he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "What about the third condition?"

"The third condition is to give me the greatest investigation authority," Xu Zun said, "Even the princes and ministers have to cooperate with me unconditionally, otherwise, no one will be able to handle this case!"

"What...heh?" Lin Chaofeng heard the words were wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Xu Zun, what do you mean by that? What are you investigating the princes and ministers for? Could it be...do you think there is an inner ghost?"

"My lord," Xu Zun said solemnly, "I think this assassination is just the beginning, and the real catastrophe has not yet come..."
