Daxianguan

Chapter 401

Inside the Shoufu Pavilion.

In front of Yang Zhenqing and several Shoufu Pavilion officials, an official bowed his head and saluted.

"Yin Jianzhi, this matter is entrusted to you Dongzhu Division to investigate secretly. In addition, I will give you the right to kill first and then report. You must find out about this matter." Yang Zhenqing said with a serious expression at this time.

"The next official takes orders." Yin Jianzhi's expression remained unchanged.

Situ next to him also said: "Cambodia, you are the governor of the Dongzhu Division and hold great power, and the thirteen witch ancestors are something that ordinary people can't do at all. In your opinion, how many possibilities are there for this matter?"

Yin Jianzhi thought about it for a while, and said: "The Holy Dynasty has no plan to assassinate the Wu ancestor, and it is definitely not the hand of the adults. This can be confirmed. Then, there are only three situations left. The second type is that there is another force to sow dissension. By killing the thirteen ancestors of witches, the misfortune will be diverted to the east, and the two clans will be provoked to fight. Sudden onset."

"Then check in these three directions, one by one, let's go." General Qin Yuanmou waved his hand at this moment, and Yin Jianzhi bowed his head and retreated.

Here, Da Situ sighed: "On the bright side, the Criminal Division will investigate the case, and secretly, the Dongzhu Division will investigate one by one. How likely is it to find the real culprit?"

With this sentence, Da Situ was asking others as well as himself.

General Qin Yuanmou shook his head again and again: "I don't think there will be any results. We have to plan ahead and mobilize troops to gather in Wuzhou. I have issued an order to mobilize elites from all states and gather in Wuzhou. It can be regarded as a precautionary measure. If the Wu clan dares to invade indiscriminately, let them all die on Chiyan Mountain."

Qin Yuanmou's words were full of murderous intent.

"The Shoufu Pavilion has decided to mobilize 50 red gold troops to Wuzhou, but this is not enough. The Wuzhou army only has 20. Even if 50 are added, it is only 70, and the Wu tribe claims to be able to mobilize a million troops. , if it was the witch clan who had long wanted to lead the war, I am afraid there will be more, and if it is really their bitter plan to find an excuse to use force, the previous seven-day deadline is also a sham, so from now on, we must be careful The attack of the witch clan."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuanmou said again: "The battle will be led by General Yu and I, and Zhao Heng, Minister of the Ministry of War, will respond later. This matter cannot wait for a moment, so soon, the two of us will go to Wuzhou to prevent the Wu clan from advancing." Invasion."

At this time, Da Situ said again: "How should the other Wu clan members of the Wu clan mission group be dealt with? Everyone is here, let's talk about it."

Xiao Yu over there said: "Treat each other with courtesy, and be on guard in secret."

The other immortal officials nodded repeatedly. These eight words can be said to be the best way to deal with it.

"All kinds of possibilities must be taken precautions. Once a war breaks out, these Wu clansmen cannot be released back, so we must ensure that the news from Wuzhou is accurate." The first immortal of the Holy Dynasty, Grand Master Lu Yan I spoke.

The immortal officials present were all members of the Shoufu Pavilion. If such a major event happened, only the members of the Shoufu Pavilion would be qualified to participate in decision-making in the future. This is also the highest right of the Holy Dynasty.

In the Heavenly Tang Dynasty, since the ancestor of Taizong, no king was allowed to monopolize the power of the government. In the Heavenly Tang Dynasty, there were only royal families, but no immortal emperors.

This is also a measure and method adopted by Taizong's ancestors to ensure that the holy pilgrimage can survive for a long time.

The royal family has status but no power, so the Shoufu Pavilion can make decisions on any matters.

At this time Yang Zhenqing suddenly said: "Wang Shizhong, you said you went to see the Thirteen Witch Ancestors this morning, what happened to him at that time?"

This question was asked to Wang Shenling.

In the Shoufu Pavilion, Wang Shenling was not a core member. Hearing Yang Zhenqing's question at this moment, he felt a little unhappy, because Yang Zhenqing was obviously 'doubting' himself.

Of course, Wang Shenling had to explain this kind of thing clearly, because at this moment, everyone was looking at him, and even Lu Yan looked puzzled, obviously not understanding why Wang Shenling went to see the Thirteen Witch Ancestors alone.

It was also because Grand Master Lu Yan did not attend the court meeting today, so he did not know what happened at the court meeting.

Wang Shenling said this time: "This morning, I went to the Thirteen Witch Ancestors. Many people saw it. I went to him to talk about Chu Xian's entry into the Zodiac Witch Clan."

"Chu Xian?" Lu Yan said something at this time, and after a little thought, he asked a fairy official next to him, "But that Chu Xian who was appointed to the punishment department?"

"It's him!" the fairy official hurriedly said.

"Oh, when is he going to join the Wu Clan, why don't I know?" Lu Yan asked, and it was these small things that usually wouldn't disturb the first immortal of the Holy Dynasty, so from the beginning, this kind of intermarriage between the two clans , Lu Yan did not know.

So the fairy official next to him whispered a few more words, and Lu Yan finally understood.

Wang Shenling continued at this time: "I went to visit the Thirteen Witch Patriarchs, mainly to talk about this matter. I said that Chu Xian and my granddaughter are in love with each other, so they can't join the Wu Clan. About this matter, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors heard about it. , I also agreed to withdraw the previous request, and then I left. From the beginning to the end, the thirteen ancestors of the witches did not have any abnormalities, and it did not seem to have any serious hidden diseases, which can be proved by the people of the witch clan."

"That is to say, the thirteen witch ancestors were safe and sound this morning, but something happened after that?" Lu Yan asked at this time.

No one can answer this question.

Wang Shenling glanced at Yang Zhenqing at this time, feeling annoyed in his heart, but he said: "If you want to say that the one who knows the Thirteen Ancestors best, it should be Yang Ke. After all, Yang Ke is the adopted son of the Thirteen Ancestors. During these days, almost Since you are with me every day, why not ask Yang Ke if there is anything unusual about the Thirteen Witch Ancestors recently."

Yang Zhenqing's expression was not good at the moment, but there was nothing he could do. What Wang Shenling said was the truth, and it was impossible for him to deny it.

At this time, Lu Yan glanced at Yang Zhenqing, and said directly: "Brother Yang, please call your grandson, I will ask you face to face."

Yang Zhenqing obviously knew that he would ask Yang Ke a long time ago, so he said directly: "I asked that kid to wait outside, so I asked him to come in."

After speaking, he confessed to the guards below, and soon, Yang Ke was brought up.

Even Yang Ke is still cautious at the moment. After all, this is the meeting of the Shoufu Pavilion, which is the top power center of the Holy Dynasty. Any immortal official here will be able to shake the existence of the Holy Dynasty.

Yang Ke saluted all the immortal officials at this moment, very respectful.

"Yang Ke, after the thirteen witch ancestors came, you will be with you every day. Just start from the first day and don't miss any details." Lu Yan said at this time.

On weekdays, Lu Yan is the absolute controller of the Shoufu Pavilion. Now that such a big event happened, he must take charge of the overall situation. If Lu Yan becomes serious, even Yang Zhenqing would not dare to contend with him.

Now, when Lu Yan asked Yang Ke to say it, Yang Ke had to say it, and he had to tell all the details.

Yang Ke didn't panic, obviously, Yang Zhenqing had told him long ago, so at this moment he sorted out his thoughts and began to tell.

From the first day when the thirteen ancestors came to tell the story to the last time I saw the ancestor.

During the whole process, no one spoke, and everyone listened carefully. Obviously, Yang Ke did not dare to lie about this kind of matter, because in the face of the immortals, any lie would be seen through.

In fact, Yang Ke did not lie. The sudden death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors was extremely sudden and even quite unfavorable to him.

Originally, the two clans reconciled, and he could take advantage of his status as the adopted son of the thirteen witch ancestors to rise to the top, but now that the thirteen witch ancestors died, his status suddenly became embarrassing.

If the two clans were fighting to the death, then he would have no chance to stand out. At least in the official career of the Holy Dynasty, he would not be able to seek an official position, and he would even be monitored, or, more seriously, placed under house arrest.

Yang Zhenqing knew this, and so did Yang Ke.

So now he has the heart to cry.

The immortal officials present can never forget it. Now that Yang Ke finished speaking, they savored it carefully. Words to Yankee.

Obviously, Yang Ke didn't lie, and it can basically be concluded that the death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors had nothing to do with him.

"Back off." After Lu Yan finished speaking, Yang Ke hurriedly retreated as if he was relieved.

At this time, a guard came in from outside and whispered to Xiao Yu, Lu Yan immediately said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yu also looked solemn at this moment, his official position was obviously much worse than that of Lu Yan, and he said respectfully at this moment: "Returning to Taishi Lu, it is Chu Xian, who is the chief officer of the Criminal Division, and he is responsible for investigating the thirteen ancestors of witches. Case, he, he came to me just now, saying that he wanted to see the physical corpse of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors."

Speaking of this, most of the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion shook their heads again and again, obviously thinking that Chu Xian really thought he could find out the truth?Find the real culprit?
Even Daoxians like them can't figure out this matter, so what can a mortal do?

But this can't be said, the criminal investigation case is what they nodded, and it's a 'posture' they have to show.

Even if you pretend, you have to pretend.

Lu Yan nodded: "Delegate power to Chu Xian and let him investigate at will. Xiao Yu, you send someone to follow, give him the token of the Shoufu Pavilion, and tell the people below that the criminal investigation case is not allowed to be blocked by anyone. .”

All the immortals were shocked when they heard this.

Yang Zhenqing was the first to speak: "Brother Lu, I'm afraid there is no need for this. Chu Xian is just a mortal, and now he is a master of the first level of immortals. What can he find out? Just put on a show, and let someone give orders to cooperate." No, there is no need to give him the token of the Shoufu Pavilion, right?"

Obviously, this Shoufu Pavilion token is not simple, because with this token, it represents the authorization of Shoufu Pavilion, even if you want to catch a fairy official, you can kill it first and then play it later.

This is power.

Lu Yan shook his head with a firm attitude: "Here, who among us here didn't come from mortal cultivation? Could it be that we were born with immortal bodies? Are we born so noble? Don't underestimate our younger generations, especially those like Chu Xian. , from a humble background, but he was able to step up step by step. This is a real skill. In the last incident in the underworld, even if Chu Xian was detaining his soul, he did not have the prestige of falling into the pilgrimage. , should give him this trust, what's more, the so-called dead horse is a living horse doctor, if he can really find out something that can prevent us from fighting to the death with the Wu Clan, what is a mere Shoufu Pavilion token? So, give it to him."

As the first immortal of the Holy Dynasty, Lu Yan naturally has his authority. On weekdays, he can discuss with others, and even choose to compromise, but sometimes, once Lu Yan insists, no one can persuade him. Unless you can overwhelm him in reason, otherwise, it's better not to touch that bad luck.
