Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 266

"Quick!" Xu Zun walked out of the alchemy room quickly, and ordered to the guards, "There may be a secret passage in this alchemy room, come and find it!"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu rushed in and asked, "Where is it? Where is it?"

"The wall behind the alchemy stove, I just knocked on it, and it's empty!" Xu Zun pointed and said, "Hurry up and break down the wall, and others will search the alchemy room to see if there is anything else?
"You guys," Xu Zun ordered again, "Go and check Li Ren's residence. Since there are secret passages here, maybe there are also there!"

"Yes!" Someone took the order.

"You guys," Xu Zun ordered to the other team's inner guards, "take control of all the family members of Lord Lushan now, and bring them all to the hall for questioning, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The inner guards did not dare to neglect, and acted quickly.

"You," Xu Zun said pretendingly, pointing to Lushan's son-in-law, "come with me, I have something to ask you! Go..."

As he spoke, he pulled his son-in-law to him and led him towards the front hall.

When they arrived at the mourning shed, the family members of Mr. Lushan had all been taken to the front hall, and there was no one in the mourning shed.

The son-in-law didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately lay down under the coffin, stretched out his hand under the coffin, and didn't know what he was doing.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of a mechanism under the coffin, as if something had been opened.

The son-in-law hurriedly opened the curtain under the coffin, but there was an entrance under the coffin!

ho...

Xu Zun admired secretly, this Duke Lushan really has a way.

As early as when Xu Zun came here to investigate for the first time, he had arranged for the inner guards to search Li's mansion, but who would have thought that there would be problems under the coffin?
It's absolutely amazing!
Xu Zun pondered, even though the Taoist Heavenly Tribulation failed, if he could not find out the fault, then this "Lushan Gong" would be mourned smoothly according to the procedure.

From now on, no one will have any doubts about him.As for the secret passage under the coffin, no one will find it.

"Quick!" The son-in-law opened the curtain and was about to sneak in, trying to call his father-in-law to run away.

However, just as he lowered his head, his mouth was covered hard by someone.

But seeing Zhao Yu's face emerge from the shadows, he covered his son-in-law's mouth with one hand and strangled his son-in-law's neck with the other.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the son-in-law passed out.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Zhen, Ashizai, Li Xing and others appeared, followed by Cai Kun.

Everyone tacitly did not make any sound, raised their weapons one after another, opened the curtain, and carefully entered the secret passage.

After everyone went in, Xu Zun and Cai Kun looked at each other, and then followed behind into the secret passage.

The secret passage was not long, and after entering, I soon noticed a bright light coming from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, there were reprimands from Zhao Yu and the others: "Don't move, don't move..."

swoosh...

The sword swung through the air, but there was no fight.

Xu Zun and Cai Kun quickened their pace, and when they passed through the dark and narrow passage, an unusually wide hall suddenly appeared in front of them.

ho...

Just looking at it, Xu Zun and Cai Kun looked stupid.

But seeing that this hall is as big as two basketball courts, surrounded by various statues of gods made of stone.

Each statue is tall and majestic, lifelike.

However, Xu Zun could almost recognize at a glance that these statues were almost the same as the statues in the main hall of the Queen Mother's Wanfu Palace, and they were all gods from various legends in Xuan Dao legends.

There is a shrine in front of the statue, on which various fresh fruits are enshrined, and the incense burner curls up, which is very mysterious.

And in the deepest part of this underground hall, stands an extremely huge statue, which is the ancestor of the Xuandao Celestial Master.

The majestic statues of the ancestors stand tall, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

At this moment, Zhao Yu and other guards surrounded the middle of the hall, surrounding a person.

I saw a Dharma platform standing there, and a white-haired old man sat cross-legged on the platform.

Facing the swords of the guards, the old man remained unmoved, and still sat firmly on the altar.

"This..." Cai Kun seemed to see something, and hurried forward a few steps, and came to the front of the old man.

Although the old man was advanced in age, he did not show his old age. On the contrary, his face was rosy and his spirit was hale and hearty, just like a legendary fairy.

"Ah?" Cai Kun identified it carefully, and finally found something, and asked in amazement, "You...you are the real Lushan Gong!!?"

Hearing the question, the old man opened his eyes slightly, but saw that his eyes were like torches, shining brightly, with indescribable sharpness.

The old man looked at Cai Kun for a few seconds, and then laughed loudly: "Who did I think it was! It turns out that Cai Ge got it!"

gollum...

For some reason, Cai Kun swallowed instinctively, feeling uncomfortable.

"It's really you..." Cai Kun said with wide-eyed eyes, "So...the one outside is just your substitute! But...but..."

"Why?" The old man smiled, "Everyone has come here, but they haven't figured it out yet?"

"Because this double has been for him for many years!" At this moment, Xu Zun walked around and glared at the old man and said, "It's also true that the double was addicted to alchemy outside and ruined his body.

"So, the assassination of Duke Lushan will not arouse anyone's suspicion!
"It's really unexpected," Xu Zun said in admiration, "For this catastrophe plan, you actually went to the trouble of hiding underground for so many years, it really took so much pains!"

"Oh?" The old man looked at Xu Zun, and after taking a good look, he said, "If the old man's guess is correct, you are the new prisoner Xu Zun, right?"

"It's right here," said Xu Zun, "Grand Lu Shan has really good eyesight!"

"The big roc spreads its wings and hates the sky, and it is amazing when it first shows its sharpness," the old man praised, "This is not the first time I have heard your name!"

By saying this, the old man admits that he is the real Duke Lushan.

"Yes, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a scene!" Xu Zun smiled slightly, "Mr. Lushan, let's have a good chat?"

"Okay," Li Ren asked without thinking, "Where do you want to start talking? How about... tell me first how you suspected me?

"I feel that I have considered the extreme. Logically speaking, no one should suspect me!"

"The main thing is that special fragrance," Xu Zun said, "I smelled a special fragrance when I was investigating in your residence a few days ago, and I felt a little familiar.

"In the mourning hall, alchemy room, and even your study room, there is that fragrance.

"At first I just thought it was a normal scent," Xu Zun took out a pill from his pocket, "But when we found this thing in the kitchen of the Beiya Imperial Army, I realized that the problem lies with you!"

"..." Hearing this reason, Li Ren opened his mouth, but closed it again, with a look of embarrassment on his face, completely lost the demeanor just now.

It seems that he never imagined that he had planned so detailed, but in the end, he lost in the taste of this little pill.

"Of course," Xu Zun explained, "Scent alone can't prove anything. What really makes me suspect is your previous status as Zong Zhengqing."

"Oh?" Li Ren was puzzled, "Zong Zhengqing?"

"Yes," Xu Zun said, "Lu Jinlong, Marquis of Changping in Shangyuan City, and Ye Hanchen, Marquis of Wuping in Shu Prefecture, they are all lords, but they are all willing to serve the Xuanmen against the party.

"I naturally suspect that they were all lobbied by the same person. And you have served as Zong Zhengqing for many years, and you have the opportunity to directly contact these princes.

"Then, it's not easy to look at your resume," Xu Zun said again, "Guozi Jijiu, who used to work in the Sixteen Guards, means that the holy capital is inside and outside, the palace and the army, you know it all like the palm of your hand!
"Furthermore, I heard that you used to be a very talented person, and you were especially good at understanding the world, and you were even supported by the clan." Xu Zun said, "But a few years ago, you suddenly became addicted to alchemy, and it always feels a little strange Son."

"Oh?" Li Ren squinted his eyes and asked in disbelief, "You doubt me just because of...just because of these points?"

"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "Actually, I'm just a little skeptical, and I'm not sure about anything, but it's a pity that Bi Sheng exposed it too early!
"In order to protect you, he deliberately gave me less information about you, so that I can't doubt you, right?"

"Ah..." Li Ren's body trembled, and his expression suddenly changed...
