Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 233 The calamity is still there
In the deep prison, there is no sky.

Xu Zun did not expect that the fake Qiu Yongnian was imprisoned underground in the Neiwei Mansion. Who would have thought that there would be a prison in the Neiwei Mansion?
It is conceivable that the prisoners held in this place are naturally very important.

However, to this day, the inner guards have not interrogated the real name of the fake Qiu Yongnian.

squeak...

As the heavy iron door was opened by the guards, Cai Kun led Xu Zun into a dark cell.

Since this place is an important place for internal guards, it must be led by Cai Kun to enter.

To mask the bad smell, incense was burned in the cell.

Under the faint light of the fire, one can see the fake Qiu Yongnian with disheveled hair, chained to a stake.With an arm missing, one of the chains went directly around his neck.

Gee...

Xu Zun was almost unrecognizable, but he was haggard and scarred, he had long lost his former vigorous appearance, and even lost his human appearance.

"Magistrate Qiu," Xu Zun approached and called softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you still recognize Xu?"

Hearing Xu Zun's question, Qiu Yongnian shook his head and opened his eyes.

One of his eyes has been disabled, presenting a colorful kaleidoscope.

Unexpectedly, after recognizing Xu Zun, he shook his head and hummed something.

"Look, that's the virtue!" Cai Kun complained helplessly.

Before, Cai Kun had already introduced to Xu Zun the situation of the fake Qiu Yongnian, who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused.

If you grit your teeth and say nothing when you are awake, and talk nonsense when you are confused, no matter how torture is used, it will be useless.

And as time went on, his sobriety became less and less.

Sure enough, Xu Zun tried to talk to Qiu Yongnian again, but he just kept shaking his head, his eyes were dull like a fool, and he was still muttering to himself.

"Cough cough..." Xu Zun cleared his throat, and tried to drink, "Shang Xuan defeated Yi, and the gods returned to the original. Go up and cut the nine gates..."

He deliberately left a sentence to see if the fake Qiu Yongnian would pick it up.

"Hey hey hey..." Fake Qiu Yongnian suddenly laughed, "So you are also from the Taoist sect!"

"Hey?"

Cai Kun was taken aback.

Before that, they tried countless times with Xuanmen formulas, but he didn't respond at all.

When I saw Xu Zun today, I suddenly had a reaction.

Xu Zun was also very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Why, do you know someone from Xuanmen?"

"Hum hum……"

Fake Qiu Yongnian's cheeks trembled, and there seemed to be some kind of fear or some kind of disdain in his eyes, but...he trembled for a long time, but he didn't answer Xu Zun's question.

"The Heavenly Tribulation Plan is about to start," Xu Zun tried to ask again, "How is it, are you excited?"

As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian did not respond.

"Let me tell you..." Xu Zun approached the fake Qiu Yongnian and said, "I already know what is inside the iron coffin! Do you want to know?"

After the question was over, Qiu Yongnian grinned silly and sang a ballad: "The demon dragon went out to sea and swept the wind and waves, the wind and waves were over three thousand feet high, Chikaku, Arrieta, Anu Anuguri..."

"This..." Xu Zun was puzzled.

"This is a ballad of the Japanese people in the East China Sea," Cai Kun explained in a low voice, "We suspect that this person should be a Japanese assassin."

"You sang really well." Xu Zun asked the fake Qiu Yongnian the fourth question coldly, "Let me ask you, how did those Japanese assassins enter the palace during the assassination in the palace 15 years ago?"

"what!!?"

As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian did not respond, but Cai Kun was suddenly surprised.

"Hey hey hey..." Fake Qiu Yongnian continued to sing with a smirk, "The son of all demons came out of the east, unwilling to be the king of the sea with the monster dragon, weeping for him, and the miniature dog Sangta begging..."

ho...

Xu Zun seemed to be able to hear something, and felt that it was a bit similar to a certain language in his previous life.

"Xu Zun, you..." Cai Kun wanted to ask.

However, Xu Zun made a gesture, motioning to leave.

"What?" Cai Kun was even more confused, "Let's go now?"

After leaving the cell, Xu Zun said to Cai Kun: "It's useless to ask any more. First, he has only met people from Taoism; This investigation is of no use."

"No, no, no..." Cai Kun waved his hands and said, "I didn't ask this, I asked, why did you ask about the Japanese assassin 15 years ago? Why are you asking this?"

"Okay," Xu Zun asked, "Lord Cai, tell me, how did the Japanese assassins get into the palace?"

"At that time, when all nations came to the court, those assassins mixed into the Izumo mission and killed the envoy, so that they could get the chance to assassinate!"

"Really?" Xu Zun said, "A dozen assassins mixed into the mission group? So easy to mess around?"

"Yes," Cai Kun replied, "I was the commander of the internal guards at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that all the envoys were killed in the inn where they were staying.

"Obviously, they killed the envoys and then sneaked into the palace pretending to be Izumo envoys."

"What about the weapons?"

"Weapons are all soft swords, which can be hidden in the waist! Xu Zun," Cai Kun asked Xu Zun with frowned eyebrows, holding Xu Zun's arm, "Are you digressing a bit? Don't you think our internal guards are all fools? "

"I don't know anything else," Xu Zun said, "but the assassination case 15 years ago looks more like a catastrophe. As long as I have any doubts, I have to find out."

"You..." Cai Kun was speechless for a few seconds, and said angrily, "Okay, since this is the case, I will order someone to bring you the 15-year file later!
"You are absolutely wasting your time, wasting your precious time!"

……

That night, even though Xu Zun was lying on Ku Niang's lap, he still couldn't sleep.

"Bitter mother," Xu Zun habitually buried her in Ku Niang's arms, and said, "I'm really a little confused this time!
"I finally understand a truth, since the Daxuan Royal Court has all mobilized and tried their best, but they still haven't found those Xuanmen rebels, so why can I find them?

"I began to suspect that the Xuanmen's Heavenly Tribulation Plan may have been stranded!

"According to the law of the development of things, their plan should be to use large-scale assassination to cause chaos first, and then take advantage of the chaos to carry out the catastrophe.

"But right now...it doesn't seem to have achieved their desired effect.

"But if you think this way, it still means that the catastrophe is still there!" Xu Zun said worriedly, "Especially, those female assassins disappeared mysteriously, I feel that there must be a demon in it.

"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun rubbed his head in the poor mother's arms, lamenting, "My life is enough, it seems like I have been blessed, why can't I share some small things?
"However... if you say you have no clue at all, it's not absolute.

"Through the current investigation, I discovered something that has been ignored by others," Xu Zun finally caught the meaning of sleepiness, and said wearily, "Are the seventeen victims themselves clean?

"I suspect that some of them are members of the Taoist sect. Their murders may have been murdered to silence them, but they were covered up by other assassinations...

"Huh...huh..."

After saying this sentence, Xu Zun finally fell asleep steadily...
