Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 244
"It's scary enough," Xu Zun couldn't help saying with emotion on the way to the Temple of General Daye, "If such a person is used by bad people and is not good for the court, then it will be bad!"

"My lord, you don't have to worry too much," Zhao Yu said from the side, "There are not many masters like Yue Jinglei in the whole Daxuan.

"Besides, people who can practice peerless martial arts are mostly people with a strong will and will not be easily bewitched by others."

"Indeed," Dongfang Yaoluo said, "The reason why the Empress Dowager established the Shenhun Division was to recruit these masters of the rivers and lakes and let them serve the imperial court.

"But today, there are very few masters who are willing to contribute to the imperial court.

"But having said that... there are not many people who oppose the court, especially the top experts."

"Tsk tsk..." At this time, Ani interjected, "I'm really curious, that female ghost, oh no... Is our bitter mother really the opponent of this Yue Jinglei?"

"That's it..." Everyone evaluated independently, but obviously no one could give an answer.

"By the way," Dongfang Yaoluo was curious, "I don't know who the heroine Yue Jinglei mentioned is?"

"Oh, a friend." Xu Zun gave a vague answer.

"You say..." Huo Anu understood Xu Zun's thoughts best, knowing that Xu Zun didn't want to mention Ku Niang, so he changed the subject and asked, "Will the sudden appearance of Yue Jinglei be related to the case we are going to handle now?" Is it related? Isn't it a bit of a coincidence?"

"Probably not," Dongfang Yaoluo thought, "If he is really from the Taoist sect, how could he be so flamboyant?"

"That's right," Zhao Yu echoed, "In my opinion, this Yue Jinglei is fairly well-behaved. If it's really against us, I'm afraid... alas..."

"No way?" Huo Anu was obviously dissatisfied, "Do you mean that with so many of us just now, it was impossible to capture him?"

"I can't say whether I can beat him," Zhao Yu replied, "but I really want to catch him, but I can't do it.

"As the saying goes, if you don't have diamonds, you can't do porcelain work. If he is not absolutely sure, it is impossible for him to choose to meet Master Xu at the gate of Neiwei Mansion!"

"Then..." Huo Anu worried, "Master Xu, do you really want Ku Niang to compete with him?"

"Hehe," Xu Zun asked with a bitter smile, "Do you think I have the ability to order Ku Niang? I just made it clear that I am only in charge of passing on the message. It is up to me to decide whether to fight or not!"

During the discussion, as the carriage stopped, everyone had come to the back of the Temple of General Daye.

After getting off the bus, I saw a row of dilapidated one-story houses behind the General Temple, with seals on them.

Obviously, this is where the underground entrance Dongfang Yaoluo mentioned is located.

Zhao Yu opened the door first, but saw that the beams inside had collapsed, dilapidated, and rubbish everywhere.

"Come with me, inside."

Dongfang Yaoluo said, and immediately led everyone into the depths.

There was an inner guard holding a torch next to them, and everyone passed through the houses until they came to the innermost one.

It seems that this place used to be used for sacrifices. There are dilapidated portraits hanging on the front wall, and there is also a collapsed thing that resembles a Buddhist altar.

Looking at the side of the altar, there is a pile of thick mounds, and bricks are mixed in the mounds.

"Ah!?" Dongfang Yaoluo said in surprise when he saw the mound of dirt at first glance, "This... this place has been sealed before, this is..."

Xu Zun stepped forward and soon smelled a fresh smell of soil. Obviously, the soil was dug out not long ago.

Next to the mound, there is a big hole that has been dug. The hole is pitch black and bottomless.

"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Envoy said excitedly, "It seems that we have found the right place, and this must have been dug up by the Xuanmen against the party."

"That's right," Zhao Yu pondered for a while, "Go down here, it's very close to the palace, maybe we can really find them!"

"It's very deep down here," Dongfang Yaoluo said, "When the place was seized back then, those gamblers made a rope ladder, which looked like three or four feet.

"There are still big blue bricks down there, like a tunnel, but..." she reminded, "There are many forks in the road below, and it is easy to get lost if you go wrong. We still need to make some preparations before going down..."

……

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

At the beginning of Yin, the people from the Shenhun Division arrived with equipment, about 30 people, plus the Neiwei House, a total of 40 people were ready to sneak into the ground.

They not only brought rope hooks and side weapons, but also pine oil torches, compasses, and some dry food and water.

No one knows when they will go down this time.
Dongfang Yaoluo wanted to go down in person, but due to her serious injuries, she could only wait outside.

Xu Zun asked Huo Anu and Hou Zhen to stay outside, while he asked Zhao Yu and A Ni to sneak into the ground to check.

Someone in the God Detective Division has gone down before, so they lead the way at the front.

As the rope descended, Xu Zun entered the dark underground.

Thirty feet is equal to ten meters, Xu Zun felt that he had dropped fourteen or five meters.

Sure enough, the bottom is covered with blue bricks, and its material is similar to the culvert found in the dry well of Shi Chun's house before, but it is drier than there.

"Be careful sir..."

At this time, the voice of the passerby came from the front. It turned out that after descending to the bottom, the aisle became extremely narrow, and even a little fat person could not pass through.

Everyone was holding torches, and the large number of people made the space even more narrow.

However, after passing through the narrow passage, the situation improved slightly, but the tunnel was still too narrow to breathe.

In this way, everyone walked around in the tunnel for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to a relatively spacious place.

However, huge stone pillars and beams collapsed here and there, and the stone pillars and beams intersected to form several open spaces.

ho...

Xu Zun felt incredible, but judging from these stone pillars and beams, they were definitely not used in ordinary buildings.

Sure enough, there were people from Shenzhusi talking about it, saying that these stone pillars and beams came from the palace of a certain dynasty.

Passing through these spaces, there will be more and more forks, and almost everywhere can be passed.

"My lord, my lord..." At this time, Xu Zun, an officer of the God Detective Division, called out to the front of the team, pointed to the marks on the ground and said, "Look, the footprints here are all fresh, which means that someone has been here recently. !"

Under the light of the torch, Xu Zun saw some footprints on the ground.

According to his experience, these footprints are messy, big and small, obviously more than one person.

Moreover, those smaller footprints seem to be left by women.

woman……

It seems that it should be the female assassin?
Seeing that the footprints might be left by the Taoist rebellious party, everyone became more excited and immediately followed the footprints.

Turning around these places raised by the stone pillars and beams, and walking not far forward, a damp cool wind blows head-on.

This feeling seemed familiar, and sure enough, after walking tens of meters, a bottomless gully appeared in front of my eyes.

Looking down, it is the same as what I saw in the dry well chamber before, all of them are underground channels and ditches made of large bluestones.

However, the ditches here are seriously damaged, and there are still many huge stones and beams lying between them.

Seeing this, the people from the Shenhun Division immediately prepared to descend with a rope.

"Wait a minute," Xu Zun reminded, "Search for them first to see if they have left any traces?"

Hearing the reminder, everyone immediately searched carefully along the edge.

When Xu Zun turned his head, he saw a familiar figure, but at some point, Ku Niang had appeared behind him...
