Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 235 Major Discovery
"What!!?" Xu Zun was shocked and asked, "What did you say? Say it again!!"

"My lord special envoy," said the inner guard in panic, "Cheng Tiesi was killed! The Eastern gods were seriously injured..."

"Impossible!" Zhao Yu shouted anxiously, "With so many guards, where did the assassins come from!?"

"Yes..." the inner guard hurriedly replied, "It's possible that Cao Ding's housekeeper did it! We haven't seen him since the accident!"

"Don't panic," Xu Zun suddenly pondered, and asked, "Tell me, what happened? What were Tie Si Cheng and Dong Fang Shen Zhang doing at that time?"

"After the special envoy left..." the inner guard replied, "The rain was getting heavier, so Tie Sicheng and Dongfang Shenzhang went to rest in the living room.

"Not long after, we heard a fight in the hall, and white smoke rose...

"We rushed in quickly, and saw that Tie Sicheng had been assassinated by an assassin, and Dongfang Shenzhang had suffered internal injuries, and had already vomited blood and passed out..."

"White smoke!?" Huo Anu hurriedly asked, "Where did the white smoke come from?"

"I don't know," the inner guard replied, "The white smoke might be able to cause a coma. We all felt dizzy and weak after entering. We just covered our mouths and noses to be fine."

Xu Zun looked at this inner guard carefully, this person was indeed one of the guards guarding Cao Ding's house at that time.

only……

Now all the information is from him alone, so Xu Zun naturally won't believe it randomly, so he asked so many details.

Now based on this person's answer, what he said should be true, Tie Jing is probably more ominous than good!
"How... how did it happen?" Chen Taiji was both shocked and scared, "It doesn't make sense, why...why did you kill them both?"

"This means..." Xu Zun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We have checked the right direction! The problem lies with Cao Ding!!"

"My lord..." Zhao Yu said impatiently, "Then why are we still standing there? Hurry over and have a look! Did the two of them find something in Cao Ding's house? That's why they were murdered?"

"They were attacked in the lobby of Cao Ding's house," Ani pondered, "What can we find there? Could it be that they said something?"

"That's right!" Finally, Chen Taiji suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said to Xu Zun, "Before we came, we were indeed discussing about Cao Lingcheng, and Tie Jing said...that he had friendship with Cao Ding...and... ...and said..."

"What else?" the crowd urged.

Just as Chen Taiji was about to blurt out, Xu Zun stopped him, waved his hand at Chen Taiji, and pointed to his ear.

"Oh..." Chen Taiji understood Xu Zun's meaning, hurried to Xu Zun, and whispered in his ear, "He also said that Cao Ding is introverted and not good at communication, and he only likes to play with his model design, it is impossible He is a Taoist spy."

In fact, these are not secret information. Xu Zun has already investigated them clearly, and saw those model designs in the study, which are basically related to water conservancy projects.

However, after Xu Zun finished listening, his eyes widened in shock, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing!!?"

Xu Zun's excitement aroused the curiosity of Zhao Yu and others.

"What the hell... what's going on?"

At this moment, even Chen Taiji himself was very strange, he felt that there seemed to be no clues in his words?

"Zhao Yu is right," Xu Zun pointed at the door and said, "It's not too late, let's go back to Cao Ding's mansion to have a look!"

After finishing speaking, everyone left the Ministry of Water Resources impatiently.

The rain outside continued unabated, and the sound of rushing water was all around.

When everyone came to the door, those who were about to ride horses and those who got into the carriages got into the carriages, but Xu Zun suddenly stopped them all.

He first glanced inside the Ministry of Water Resources, then flashed to the door, and told everyone:
"Huo Anu, you and Hou Zhen bring two guards back to Cao Ding's mansion to check the situation, find clues, and see how the Eastern God is injured?" Xu Zun said, "If she wakes up, ask her immediately. what's going on!"

"Yes! What about you?" Huo Anu was puzzled, "Aren't you going?"

"Zhao Yu," Xu Zun pulled Zhao Yu to his side, whispered a few words to him, and then said, "You and A Xiuzi go and do this!"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

So, he pulled Ashio aside, and the two disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ani..." Xu Zun said to Ani and the rest of the guards again, "Go to the same place with me!
"Hou Zhen..." Immediately afterwards, he whispered a few words in Hou Zhen's ear, and then ordered, "Go and call Li Jinlou to me, I have something to ask him."

"Yes!" Hou Zhen didn't dare to neglect, he immediately got on his horse, and galloped away...

……

Da da da……

The horse's hooves sounded urgently, and the ground caused waves of water splashes.

"Call..."

Following Liu Dong's call, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded house in Jianyefang.

This is the home of Cheng Tiejing of Dali Temple.

Since Tie Jingzu has Buhler blood, he prefers to live in Jianyefang, where there are many foreigners.

dong dong dong...

One of Xu Zun's guards named Li Xing slammed on the door hard, and it took a long time before there was any movement from inside the door.

"Who is this so rude? Do you know whose house this is?" The door opened, and the manager poked his head out, "Do you know some rules?"

boom!
Li Xing didn't care about that, he kicked the door open immediately, and shouted loudly: "Inner Guard House investigates the case, this is the special envoy personally appointed by the Holy Queen Mother, why don't you greet him quickly!?"

Sure enough, people are good at being bullied. Li Xing was so arrogant that the manager was frightened immediately, and hurriedly bowed and said:

"It's unfortunate that you guys are here, my master is not at the house!"

"I know I'm not at the mansion," Li Xing said, "Stop rambling, lead the way quickly, and gather everyone in your family to the hall to talk!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the Tie family members came to the hall.

Recently, major incidents happened one after another in the holy capital. The Tie family didn't know what was going on. Seeing Xu Zun and others' arrogant appearance, everyone was terrified.

In order to avoid trouble, Xu Zun asked Li Xing to take out the imperial edict, show it to the Tie family, and first reveal his identity.

Seeing that Xu Zun was indeed the special envoy personally appointed by the Empress Dowager, the Tie family was even more terrified, thinking that Tie Jing had committed something.

"You don't need to panic," Xu Zun asked, "This special envoy came here to inquire about a question, as long as he can answer it, he will not make things difficult for you.

"Think about it carefully, Mr. Tie once had friendship with Cao Ding, Shui Lingcheng of the Ministry of Industry. Does anyone of you know about this?"

what?
The Tie family stared wide-eyed, all stunned by this weird question.

After a few seconds, everyone shook their heads one after another, expressing their ignorance.

"My lord..." Tie Jing's butler asked weakly, "What is Shui Lingcheng?"

Depend on……

Xu Zun was depressed, and suddenly realized that he might have found the wrong place. Instead of coming to Tie Jing's house, he might as well go to Dali Temple.

It seems...the only option is the next best thing.

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, Xu Zun wanted to ask them, who are Tie Jing's close friends?

As a result, just as he opened his mouth and didn't speak, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I...I know..."

Xu Zun turned his head and saw that Hou Zhen had brought Li Jinlou over, and it was Li Jinlou who was speaking.

"Oh?" Xu Zun's eyes widened, "You know?"

"Yes... yes..." Li Jinlou, who was already drenched, said timidly, "Shuiling Cheng Cao Ding likes to study ancient sites, especially the way of ancient water canals.

"Ancestor Tie has someone working in the survey and design institute, so there are some ancient city maps in his home. Cao Ding likes them very much, so he bought them at a big price..."
