Demon detective

Chapter 212 Eagle Robe

woo woo woo...

woo woo woo...

Shen Yu's mouth was sealed and he could only make a whining sound. Perhaps the other party knew that Shen Yu's strength was extraordinary, so several people rushed up at once, and then he was able to control Shen Yu.

The development of the situation made Xu Zhen unexpected and unable to guess.

Who would have thought that Shen Yu and Meng Zhixiao would not fall into the hands of Ning Zangfeng, but instead be captured by such a group of mysterious people.

However, at the critical moment, Xu Zhen calmed down very quickly.

Because he saw that the men in black in front of him were not wearing night clothes, but black satin brocade clothes, and the clothes on each chest were embroidered with eagle patterns.

The eagle flies across the sky with fierce momentum.

This extremely special pattern made Xu Zhen feel very familiar.

Correct!

He quickly remembered that it was recorded in "The Way of Demons" that the person who could wear this kind of brocade robe and eagle robe was none other than the Daxuan Dynasty's Royal Guards!

It's the inner guard again!

Although the spies who entered the academy were also internal guards, their levels were much different from those of the eagle-robed internal guards.

In fact, the internal guards of the Daxuan Dynasty were more like a combination of the Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the previous Ming Dynasty. They were not only responsible for supervising officials, obtaining intelligence, patrolling guards, arresting and interrogating other important tasks, but they could also provide specialized services to the emperor and handle matters. Many difficult or secret tasks can be described as having great power.

Therefore, the division of the internal guards of the Daxuan royal family was also relatively complicated. There were two general managers at the top: one was in charge of the foreign affairs office, served by military attachés or royal relatives; the other was in charge of the internal affairs office, served by eunuchs or close ministers.

The two men directly obeyed the emperor's command, handled cases cross-wise, and checked and balanced each other.

Under the general manager of internal and external affairs, there are four cabinet leaders in the east, south, west and north, responsible for important tasks such as intelligence, field service, arrests and interrogations.

For example, at the Yanping County Government Office, when Lan Yanxi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, read out the imperial edict to Xu Zhen and others, Mei Dong, the leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion who was guarding him, was the West Pavilion Leader of the Internal Guard Foreign Affairs Office.

This person has superb martial arts skills, so he often performs important field missions, mostly as escort.

Xu Zhen remembered that the official robe Mei Dong wore at that time was also an eagle robe, except that his eagle robe had an extra large word "内" embroidered with gold thread.

Therefore, those who can wear the eagle robe should be the senior internal guards of the Foreign Affairs Office!

At this moment, through Xu Zhen's observation, he found that there were thirty or forty people in the eagle-robed inner guards in front of him. The sudden appearance of so many high-level inner guards clearly showed that the situation was very serious.

Naturally, there are not so many eagle-robed inner guards in Daguan City. They must have just arrived from Xuanmiao City, the holy capital.

In just one night, they rushed over from the Holy Capital, indicating that they had already received reliable information and were specifically here to deal with this incident.

So... what impact will their arrival have on me?

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Zhen was quickly analyzing, another surprising thing happened. A high-pitched and sinister voice came from the sedan:

"Hmph, you dare to burn down my demon building, you are so tired of living!"

Wow!

Xu Zhen and Sima Xin were shocked. They didn't expect that there was a living person in the sedan!

Moreover, listening to this cold and high-pitched voice, it seems that he is still a eunuch!

The two people quickly turned to the sedan, but found that the curtain of the sedan had not moved, and the people inside had no intention of showing up.

"Since Daxuan founded the country, I have never encountered such a disaster in the memorial court. What a bunch of rebellious ministers and traitors. They are so determined to destroy the nine tribes!"

Hearing the anger of the people in the sedan chair, Cai Jin was already trembling with fear. He quickly fell to his knees and kowtowed.

Oh……

Xu Zhen seemed to understand something. Cai Jin had known for a long time that there was a member of the internal guard sitting in the sedan, so he acted so panicked before. And the senior official in the sedan just said "burn my demon tower", coupled with his eunuch voice, and so many eagle-robed guards, Xu Zhen had already guessed the identity of this person.

This person is probably Lianji's boss and the real owner of Jinzouyuan. He is either a certain cabinet leader or - the general manager! ! ?

Wow……

Xu Zhen took a breath again. He had already realized that no matter whether it was the cabinet leader or the manager, he was probably going to be in trouble!

Think about it, Yaolou is the intelligence station of Jinzouyuan. Jinzouyuan is not only responsible for collecting diplomatic intelligence, but also handles many secret reports about princes and nobles. It is an extremely secretive and important royal intelligence department.

Now that the demon tower is destroyed, he must be in big trouble.

Although the demon building was burned down by Ning Zangfeng and because Lian Ji was involved, if it were really investigated, he would not be able to escape his involvement.

"Ah? Where are the people? This...this..." It was only then that Sima Xin realized that Dongfang Meiyan, Lianji and others were all gone, leaving only him and Xu Zhen, which was naturally a mess.

However, Sima Xin was not stupid. He quickly guessed that the person in the sedan must be a member of the imperial court, so with the support of his inherent feudal thoughts, he still let him kneel down with Cai Jin.

After kneeling down, Sima Xin kept winking at Cai Jin, but Cai Jin just crouched and buried his head, not looking at him at all.

"Please... please tell me clearly," Sima Xin boldly explained to the people in the sedan, "all of this was done by Ning Zangfeng, the cavalry commander of Daguan City! This person is a spy who rebels against the party and has committed a heinous crime! Please!" Your Excellency, you have a clear understanding, you have a clear understanding..."

After Sima Xin defended himself, Jiaozhong suddenly became quiet.

All that could be heard was the collapse of wooden beams from the ruins of the demon tower in the distance, and the whining sounds of Shen Yu struggling.

After being quiet for a while, the man in the middle hummed again: "Ning Zangfeng... what is this? Who are you?"

"Sir, I... I am Sima Xin, who has joined the army in Songzhou." Upon hearing the response, Sima Xin quickly introduced himself, and then continued to explain, "Ning Zangfeng has informants all over Daguan City. He has ulterior motives. It was him... he burned the monster. building……"

"Well..." The man in the sedan was obviously angry and asked tremblingly, "Tell me, why did he burn down my demon building? What is all this going on?"

"Yes, yes..." Sima Xin kowtowed quickly, and then impatiently told the whole story of the incident, starting with Fang Wubing's disappearance.

At the same time, Xu Zhen was thinking about other things.

its not right?

No...isn't it good?

Xu Zhen thought that the Taoist nun Dongfang Meiyan saw after they came out of the secret room just now should be Dongfang Yanrao, the chief arrester of the Divine Catcher Division.

After that, all the people from their Divine Catching Division quietly disappeared, which may still be reasonable.

The Divine Catcher Division is different from government agencies and internal guards. They only focus on their own cases and do not participate in any political disputes, so it is normal for them to choose to avoid it.

But...where is Lianji?

There were Lianji and Lianji's two subordinates at that time. Why, they were also missing?

Since the internal guard officer in the sedan came for the Demon Tower, how could he allow the Chief of Police to take Lian Ji away?

Lian Ji is the supervisor of the Demon Building and is very important. She has to stay and ask questions no matter what, right?

What does this mean?

Is this internal guard also afraid of the Divine Captor, or has he reached some kind of agreement with the Divine Captor?

Or... he's not just here for the Demon Tower?
