Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 231 Time is limited
In the evening of that day, the Neiwei Mansion was brightly lit.

Xu Zun, with his hands behind his back, was looking up at the bright moon in the sky, thoughtful.

It took a whole day today, but he still failed to walk through all seventeen crime scenes.

The holy capital is really too big, and the residence of these officials is somewhat scattered, and most of the time was wasted just for the journey.

He could only pick and choose, and investigate the suspected victims first.

"My lord..." At this time, Annie appeared behind him holding a bowl of soup, "This is the refreshing soup I asked the kitchen to make for you."

"Oh?" Xu Zun raised his eyebrows, looked at the steaming medicinal soup, and asked, "Wake up?"

"Yeah..." Ani smiled faintly, "I learned it from Taoism, using musk, calamus calamus, bezoar, star gallbladder and other medicinal materials to make it."

"This..." Xu Zun took the bowl and sniffed it lightly.

"What?" Seeing Xu Zun's hesitation, Ani pursed her mouth, "Don't you dare to drink it? Don't worry, there is no poison in it, do you need it... I'll give you a taste first?"

"No..." Xu Zun smiled slightly and clarified, "That's not what I mean. What I need now is sleep aid soup, not brain refresher soup!"

"Sleep aid?" Ani frowned, "Do you want to sleep? The case... is not investigated anymore?"

"Hehe... I am also a human being!" Xu Zun felt a little comfortable when he looked at this unbelievably beautiful beauty from Yuanzhou.

No wonder people say that beautiful women are seductive!

"Then..." Ani said, "I also know a prescription that can help you sleep, so I'll cook it for you again?"

"No need," Xu Zun joked, "As long as you are willing to warm the bed for me, I will definitely be able to sleep soundly!"

A Ni blushed slightly, and murmured: "It's a pity that I couldn't help the adults!"

"It's okay," Xu Zun patted Ani's shoulder lightly, "I still have six days to squander."

"My lord..." Ani said, "I see that you are so concerned about this assassination case, have you found anything?"

"Hehe..." Xu Zun smiled wryly, "The case is complicated and my mind is confused, where can I find the clue?"

"Perhaps..." Ani reminded, "The reason why Xuanmen makes such a big commotion is to make us lose our clues?"

"Um……"

Xu Zun nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Ani said was quite reasonable.

Ever since he came into contact with this case, he had a feeling that there seemed to be some bigger conspiracy hidden behind this mass assassination of Xuanmen!

The key to uncovering the conspiracy lies in the seventeen victims.

Therefore, Xu Zun has already made up his mind, he must investigate the seventeen assassination cases thoroughly, in order to see the real mystery of Taoism!

……

That night, Xu Zun forced himself to sleep well.

The next day, he went step by step and continued to visit the scene of the assassination case, keeping the circumstances of each assassination case firmly in his heart.

Xue Guihua, Duke of Liang State, Yingrang Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Ren, Duke of Lushan, Han Zhang, Inspector of Songzhou, Lao Liange, Minister of the Cabinet, Liu Jin, Secretary of Dali Temple, Cao Ding, Minister of Water, Xu Chi, the Imperial Physician...

Each of these names is deeply imprinted in Xu Zun's mind like a brand.

After checking the assassination scene, Xu Zun went to Neiwei Zuoge Leader Bi Sheng to check the Xuanmen information.

Unexpectedly, there is a mountain of Taoist materials, and it is impossible for him to see them.

However, Xu Zun's brain was active. He knew that Bi Sheng was not an ordinary person, so he asked Bi Sheng to answer his own question in person.

Because of the edict in hand, Bi Sheng didn't dare to resist the edict, no matter how unconventional he was, so he could only patiently answer Xu Zun's questions one by one.

Through Bi Sheng's answer, Xu Zun roughly figured out the origin of Taoism, and also understood the royal family's attitude towards Taoism.

It turned out that this Taoist sect did not revive, but that they had always existed during the hundred years since the founding of the Daxuan Dynasty, but they had never become popular.

As Tie Jing said, what everyone thinks of Taoism is just some petty thieves who shout slogans and engage in spiritual movements, and they are basically unworthy.

Those so-called Xuanmen rebels who were caught before were just some people like Chongtianguan Guanbandit. They joined Xuanmen just to make a living, and they had no access to the insider secrets of Xuanmen.

It can also be said that before Xu Zun revealed the secret base of Qinglanguan, the royal family did not pay enough attention to it.

Therefore, the current rise of Xuanmen is absolutely abnormal!

Not only Xu Zun, but even the queen mother has already felt that there must be an expert commanding behind this mysterious sect.

Because of this, Xu Zun has even more reason to believe that the ultimate goal of Xuanmen is definitely not just the immediate assassination.

but……

Xuanmen probably underestimated the ability of Empress Dowager Lin. They thought that this assassination would cause chaos in the world, but unexpectedly, the empress dowager "use it for me" and suppressed it with the strongest means in history. crisis.

Perhaps, the so-called "Heavenly Tribulation" operation of Xuanmen has been disrupted by the queen mother, right?
Of course, after finally catching a capable person like Bi Sheng, Xu Zun asked him about the details of the seventeen victims.

This time, Bi Sheng didn't dare to use that Xiaoyi to perfunctory, but answered Xu Zun's questions.

After questioning, as expected by Xu Zun, Bi Sheng controls Daxuan's highest intelligence department, and the information he knows is indeed different from what the outside world has said.

For example, Lushan Gong Li Ren was addicted to alchemy and wanted to become a fairy, so he was admonished by the Queen Mother.

The cabinet minister, Mr. Lian Ge, participated in the buying of officials, and he was about to retire and return home.

The transfer envoy of the Holy Capital filled his own pockets and embezzled public funds, and is under investigation by the internal guards.

Han Zhang, the governor of Songzhou, is even more outrageous. He likes to steal wives, and he was sued for imperial court...

The Minister of Dali Temple, Liu Jin, also has many stains, which is even more interesting.

On the day of his death, the reason why Li Jinlou invited Liu Jin to come to his home was to arrange a crime against Xu Zun to avenge Yuancheng.

Hearing this news, Xu Zun narrowed his eyes slightly, already feeling murderous.

He said in his heart, how dare you, Li Jinlou, plot against me.

You wait for me, if I, Xu Zun, can't solve the case, then you'll be right.But if I solve the case, I will never forget you!

……

In the evening of the same day, news came from the Neiwei Mansion that General Jing Hui had sent someone to detain Ye Hanchen, the Daoist of the Xuanmen Southwest Road, to the Neiwei Mansion, and Cai Kun and others were stepping up their interrogation.

Now, Ye Hanchen is the only high-ranking Taoist who has been captured alive, so the inner guard naturally attaches great importance to it.

However, Xu Zun had already made a prediction. Through the heart-to-heart chat with Zijian and Feishuang along the way, he already knew that these people's knowledge was limited.

They are just tools used by Taoism to make money, and they don't understand the advanced operation of Taoism at all.

Therefore, to arrest the Xuanmen rebellious party, we have to start with the assassination case...

……

On the third day, Chen Taiji, Tie Jing and Dongfang Yaoluo finished their work and returned to Xu Zun to report.

The three of them thought that Xu Zun was going to take them around again, but Xu Zun didn't go anywhere, but asked them questions for a whole day while facing the two maps.

Of these two maps, one is for the Holy Capital Xuanmiao City; the other is for the Daxuan Palace...
