I can see the script of life

Chapter 174
Chu Nantian died, only to see the weird mirror and the magic mountain disappear in an instant, and then countless strong men in the sky rushed towards Jiang Yueheng in an instant.

Jiang Yueheng's face was sluggish, and his whole body was stiffly pinching the head that Chu Nantian stuffed into his hand before he died.

He walked out of the encirclement surrounded by strong men and guards in a daze.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Grandson."

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?"

Jiang Yueheng ignored these people, he cherished Chu Nantian's head in his arms, stood on the roof of the carriage, and solemnly bowed deeply to the people around him, without saying anything.

Escorted by a group of already terrified masters, they left quickly.

……

The vortex outside the city had ended, but what happened next was the most terrifying storm.

The most elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are nine branches, named after the nine sons of the dragon, known as Zhou Jiulongwei.

Xu Cheng's subordinate Habayashi Wei was not among them at all.

Among them, there are four guards guarding the capital, named Yazi, Xiaofeng, Suanni, and Biyan.

After the news of Jiang Yueheng's assassination spread, the Zhenjing Four Dragon Guards had already dispatched one after another.

This is the first time Xu Cheng has seen the horror of these war machines.

One branch takes blood-changing warriors as soldiers, Ming Jin is Shichang, Huajin is Centurion Commander, and Quan Jin is Thousand Commander.

Although the number of people is less than 20, it is still extremely terrifying. The foundation of the Great Zhou's founding of the country for thousands of years has finally revealed a mysterious corner in the huge storm of Taisun's assassination.

Da da da!
The thick qi and blood set off a series of tremors in the unified pace.

A big man with a beard and silver armor was full of strong murderous aura. It was a terrifying murderous intent tempered by countless fights in the army. He stood still in the air outside the city, "Everyone, from now on, whoever moves will die! !"

For a moment, the outside of the city became quiet.

Because he's talking about...everyone!

Although the strong man who came to rescue Jiang Yueheng at the first time was dissatisfied, it seemed that no one dared to say anything more when facing Cao Sheng.

Xu Cheng stood quietly on the top of the city gate. Whether it was him or all the city guards around him, they were shocked by this man's murderous aura.

The silver-armored man was as strong as a horned dragon, and he was astonishingly thick. He assisted him to fall slowly from the air, and lowered his head slightly, "Cao Sheng, the commander of the Yazi army, respectfully invite the grandson to return to the palace!"

Jiang Yueheng took one step at a time, and walked towards the city like a walking corpse.

Whether it was Chu Nantian killing his head in front of him, or this terrifying army battle, and his remorse for what he had committed, all intertwined and brought unbearable pain to his small body. hit.

But he is the grandson of the royal family, and as a martial artist, no accident, he will definitely be the one who will inherit the great line in the future.

He has to be strong.

With a slightly strange tone in her voice, "Send me back to the palace!"

Cao Sheng's voice was still loud, as if he spoke like this, "Send the grandson back to the palace!"

Immediately, several hundred soldiers of the Yazi army quickly stepped forward, protecting Jiang Yueheng in an indescribable formation.

Cao Sheng looked around and murmured in a low voice, "The smell of origin qi, is it a monk of immortality?"

……

The entry of the Yazi army is just the beginning, and the storm has only risen for a short time so far.

A Sergeant of the Yazi Army walked to the Donglin Gate. Judging by his clothes, he should be the Chief of the Wanfu, that is, the Jingongjing.He shouted loudly, "Where is the commander of Donglinmen?"

Xu Cheng walked out, "East Gate Commander Xu Cheng is here."

"Bring me the roster of all the gates entering and exiting the Donglin Gate today."

Xu Cheng didn't care about the tone of this person's words, and obediently asked Qin Xiu to take out the list of Donglinmen's recent few days.

Anyway, due to the blockage of people outside the city at Donglin Gate in the past few days, very few people came in and out of the city gate.

Now I have to thank the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce.

Captain Wan of the Yazi Army looked at the list and frowned tightly, "Why are there so few people?"

Qin Xiu explained, "In the past few days, the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce has been serving porridge outside the city, and the people are crowded, and the number of people entering and leaving has decreased."

Mr. Wan blinked, without saying a word, turned and left with the roster.

Xu Cheng sighed slightly.

The storm... is coming.

"This is the first thing." Li Yinglian's voice came.

Xu Cheng frowned, "Don't talk if you don't want to die."

This woman really doesn't know what it means, but Cao Sheng doesn't know what level of cultivation is, once she finds a flaw, everything will be over.

Li Yinglian in the mirror space did not say any more.

Xu Cheng paid a lot for this trip. Not only did he use the relic's power once, but he also exposed the Mirror of Questioning Tribulation to the eyes of everyone. He needs to be careful in everything in the future.

In order to search for the murderer who assassinated the grandson, people in the city came out of the city in an endless stream.

I saw an old man in a saffron-red white crane robe. I don't know what he said to Cao Sheng. After a while, the Chief Wan who took away the roster arrived again.

"Dongmen Ling! Come with us." The tone was not very polite.

Xu Cheng got up, handed Gai Ying to Qin Xiu, and told him to go outside the city to help Gai Ying find his parents later, while he went downstairs to follow the master of the god palace.

He looked carefully, and it was clearly the old man in the red robe who said something in Cao Sheng's ear, and Cao Sheng had someone call him over.

"This brother, who is the one who talked to Cao Shuai?"

Ji Yun-[Current Plot]: Ji Yun is a member of the state and is the commander of the Yazi Army. In order to break through the shrine, his official luck is already insufficient, so he is ordered to search for the rebels who attacked the grandson. During the period, he worked hard... …

The plot is very simple, perhaps because Ji Yun is not a very important figure in the next action of the Yazi army.

Ji Yun was meticulous and ignored Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng said, "The assassin didn't seem to want to assassinate the grandson, but just wanted to kill Wang Fu beside him."

Ji Yun turned his head slightly, "Xu Lingjun knows?"

Xu Cheng cursed inwardly.

He was so rude just now, but now when it comes to clues, he is extremely positive. This soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes is still an official fan.

He asked again, "Who is that old man standing with Cao Shuai? Is he going to arrest me?"

Ji Yun wanted to know the news from Xu Cheng's mouth, so he said, "That man is Doctor Guanglu, whose name is Zhao Jie."

Zhao Jie...

The name is somewhat familiar.

Xu Cheng always felt that he had heard of it somewhere.

Ji Yun asked again, and Xu Cheng repeated Chu Nantian's words before his death.

Immediately, the two fell silent in a tacit understanding.

After a long time, Xu Cheng broke the silence,
"Where is this going?"

Ji Yun responded, "Everyone present today must go to Dali Temple."

Xu Cheng nodded without asking further questions.

……

When he arrived at Dali Temple, Xu Cheng looked at the group of people in front of him, and saw that each of them came in and out very quickly, as if they just asked and gave up.

I was slightly relieved.

But when he saw that Zhao Jie was interrogating, he frowned.

He remembered who this Zhao Jie was.

Before that, a county magistrate was killed in Qingshan County, Qingshan Prefecture. His name was Zhao Ji. After Zhao Ji died, his wife said that Zhao Ji had an uncle who was the current Guanglu doctor.

It's really unlucky, I guess I have to lose my skin.

Sure enough, it was Xu Cheng's turn to enter.

The lobby of Dali Temple is very wide, and there are mysterious beasts painted on the surrounding pillars. It is rumored that this beast is the best at solving crimes and can sneak into people's hearts. Above, paint this strange beast.

Zhao Jie looked at Xu Cheng, "You are Xu Cheng?"

[Name]: Zhao Jie
[Life level]: short-lived species

[Talent]: Martial Arts★★★★
[Destiny Script]: The Protagonist of "The Controversy of the Party Leaders" (Black)
[Playing script]: supporting role in "The Case of Concubine Ming" (red), supporting role in "The Eunuch Party" (purple)
[Current plot]: Zhao Jie is the doctor Guanglu of the current dynasty, and his duty is to shoot the prince. He was ordered to teach the grandson. The grandson was assassinated. In order to track down the murderer, he detained all the people related to the case, intending to find the murderer. , in order to compete for the position of the leader of the Gong Party, to curry favor with Li Qian, and with the death of Zhao Ji, he attempted to make things difficult for Xu Cheng, but was stopped by Duanrui, the minister of Dali Temple...

Xu Cheng sighed slightly in his heart, what a pity.

"Xu Cheng, the order of the east gate, I have met your lord."

"Where were you when the grandson was assassinated?"

Xu Cheng was neither humble nor overbearing, "The next official took office not long ago, and he is currently inspecting Donglinmen."

"I heard that you beheaded Wang Ping, the eunuch next to your grandson?"

Xu Cheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Jie, "That person deserves to die, he committed the crime of negligence!"

Zhao Jie was furious and slapped the gavel, "It's not your turn to kill Xu Cheng!"

"People in the palace are carrying royal secrets, and they are not allowed to leave the capital without a transfer order. Not only does he despise the lower officials, but he also tries to leave the capital privately. The lower officials have checked, and he has no transfer orders."

This was the original rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Emperor Yuanfeng trusted the internal officials, this rule has long been tacitly ignored by everyone in the court.

Zhao Jie also suddenly remembered this rule, but he didn't panic at all, "You know that Wang Ping was originally to protect the grandson, and if you kill him, you will be the biggest accomplice in the assassination of the grandson!"

"Master Zhao's words are not correct. How can Wang Ping's mere strength protect his grandson?" A middle-aged official wearing a red official robe and holding a sword in his hand came in from outside.

The one who can easily walk into the lobby of Dali Temple at this moment is naturally Dali Temple Qing Duanrui.

"I think that the order of the east gate killed Wang Ping well. If Wang Ping hadn't died, the great grandson would have caused so much trouble. Perhaps Chu Da... the thief would not kill himself." Duanrui said Chu Nantian's At that time, there was an obvious pause, with a back cavity.

Duanrui-[Current Plot]: Duanrui, Qing of Dali Temple, used to be a disciple of Chu Nantian. In a few years, from Jinli to a half-step master, he was feared by the inner party. In the case of the grandson's assassination, the real culprit was very clear, but the accomplice was mysterious. Duanrui was the first to stand up and ask for Chu Nantian's favor during the emperor's court meeting. The verdict was reversed, and the officials were furious...

Xu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Chu Nantian would still have his best friend in court even after more than ten years of leaving office, so before Chu Nantian took action, did he find this Duan Rui?
Presumably not.

Strictly speaking, his methods are not brilliant, and the most critical loophole lies in the mysterious 'accomplice'.

Let Chu Nantian's death be covered with a trace of ambiguity.

Duan Rui walked up to Xu Cheng himself, and said to Xu Cheng, "Xu Lingjun is in an important position, and he can't take a break for a while, so let's go back as soon as possible."

Zhao Jie remained calm, "Official position is important, and grandson is not as important. Xu Lingjun, as a person who witnessed it, please tell the truth."

Duan Rui smiled, "Xu Cheng, have you finished what you know?"

Xu Cheng nodded, "I dare not lie, I have already told what I saw."

"Did you remember it all?"

The officer sitting in the far corner of the lobby nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

"I've written it all down, why keep him? Could it be that Mr. Zhao has a problem with Xu Lingjun? Or is there something between the two that I don't know?" Duan Rui said.

Xu Cheng said, "This subordinate has never met Mr. Zhao, Mr. Duan's words are serious."

"In that case, come and send Xu Lingjun out."

Duanrui smiled, and said to Zhao Jie who was sitting in the hall, "Master Zhao, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Xu Lingjun has important duties, and he is in the capital. If you really find out that he is related to this case, you can find him again." It's not too late for an interrogation."

Zhao Jie knew that the purpose of embarrassing Xu Cheng today could not be achieved, so he said with a smile, "It's all according to Mr. Duan, why don't you send Xu Lingjun out?"

……

The turmoil in the officialdom opened Xu Cheng's eyes a little.

It is said that there is serious party struggle in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the members of that party, Xu Cheng was a little surprised by their desire for luck.

Just like Zhao Jie, judging from his script, he has been entangled in the position of a party leader all his life, but judging from the level of his script, he should be successful.

According to Xu Cheng's estimation, the grades of scripts are from low to high.

The white script is his own script, which has almost no influence on the rest.

The green script can slightly affect the fate of others, but not much.

The blue script is somewhat powerful, and it should affect the fate of people in a county or even a prefecture.

The red script is about the world or a state, and has some influence but not much.

The purple script affects the world, and has a considerable influence on the situation in the world.

The black script has a decisive influence on the situation of the world and can even change the situation of the world.

There is also the first-grade immortal cultivator Moridan Falcon that I saw in Fuyue Shentong Mountain before. His script is in color, and it should affect the direction of a world.

A black script that can have an influence on the court situation and even the world shows that it is inevitable for Zhao Jie to become the leader of the Gong Party in the future.

After he came to the capital, all he met were high-ranking officials or public servants, so the high level of his scripts meant it should be.

But perhaps it is also because these scripts are too complicated, and his golden fingers are becoming less and less clear about the future trend of the scripts.

Feeling like walking on thin ice...

I still have to improve my strength in martial arts. The feeling of insecurity is getting worse. After solving the inner party, I will try my best to practice behind closed doors.

Xu Cheng closed his eyes, opened them again, and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

Returning to Donglinmen again, Qin Xiu clasped his fists to Xu Cheng and said, "Gai Ying's parents have been found, and I have sent them all to your lord's residence."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly and didn't say much.

After Zhao Jie's inquiry today, it was also a good thing for him, and his suspicion was cleared, and the next step was the performance of the adults in the court.

Modify the plot, practice!
