Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 41 The Ancient Sword Gate

in the library.

"How's the investigation going?" Qin Wei asked Zhuge Zhengwo.

"It is certain that Lu Shangqing was behind the assassination of His Highness by hiring Jing Wuying and the previous poisoning of His Highness, but we have no evidence." Zhuge Zhengwo said solemnly.

The person who hired Jing Wuying to assassinate Qin Wei didn't know where he went. Although Jing Wuying knew that he was from Cheng Guogong's mansion, he couldn't prove that he was hired by Cheng Guogong.

Although Zhuge Zheng and I found Lu Shangqing along this line, and also identified the specific murderer who poisoned Qin Wei, it is a pity that he did not find the murderer.

The murderer should be a Jianghu martial artist recruited by Lu Shangqing outside Cheng Guogong's mansion. He has a seventh-rank cultivation and is good at poisoning.

Zhuge Zheng, I found a lot of information about this person, but since Qin Wei was poisoned, this person has disappeared in the capital.

I don't know whether it was silenced or gone far away.

The same goes for the people who contacted Jing Wuying.

Now all the clues point to Lu Shangqing, and Lu Shangqing did have the motive to kill Qin Wei, but Zhuge Zheng and I just couldn't find the relevant evidence.

Without evidence, Lu Shangqing cannot be convicted.

Qin Wei leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table.

Naturally, he would not let Lu Shangqing go.

"Investigate other crimes!"

Zhenwusi should pay attention to evidence in the investigation of the case. Since no evidence can be found in the case of assassinating him, he should convict Lu Shangqing from other aspects.

Anyway, as long as Lu Shangqing can be killed.

"No need to investigate, this Mr. Lu has committed a lot of crimes!" Zhuge Zhengwo laughed.

"As long as His Highness needs it, the subordinate officials can convict him of more than a dozen crimes."

Qin Wei frowned.

"What are the crimes?"

"Indulging slaves and committing crimes, robbing civilian daughters, forcing good men into prostitution, and harming the royal family~~"

"Wait, murder the royal family?" Qin Wei stared.

"That's right, two years ago, Lu Shangqing beat up Zhenguo Lieutenant Qin Shangze in the street." Zhuge said straight to me.

The titles of the royal family are divided into eight ranks: prince, county king, general of Zhenguo, general of Fuguo, general of Fengguo, lieutenant of Zhenguo, lieutenant of Fuguo, and lieutenant of Fengguo.

Inherited in the way of grace descending from generation to generation.

For example, for Qin Wei's later sons, the eldest son can be named General of Zhenguo, while the rest of the sons will be named General of Fengguo.

Each generation descends until they become ordinary people.

Although Lieutenant Zhen Guo is considered a relatively low title in the royal family, he is also a genuine royal family.

"Lu Shangqing is so bold?"

"Why didn't the Clan Mansion take care of this matter?" Qin Wei felt a little inconceivable.

Zhuge straightened me and said: "Compared to a lieutenant of Zhenguo, Duke Cheng's mansion has more power, and the clan's mansion only wants to make big things smaller and small things smaller."

Qin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, each of the four major kingdoms was extremely powerful.

Behind them is the entire Xungui Group, involving every aspect of Dali.

Compared with the Duke's Mansion, a small Zhen Guo Lieutenant is really not an important person.

"Enough, this alone is enough to kill Lu Shangqing."

"The clan's house doesn't care, so we will take care of it!"

"Then Lu Shangqing is also a warrior?"

Qin Wei asked.

"Fourth rank warrior!" Zhuge Zhengwo replied.

"As long as they are warriors, our Martial Arts Division can take care of them." Qin Wei sneered.

"We should also let these nobles know that Zhen Wusi cannot be messed with."

The honorable group is a group of existences that share the same fate with the imperial dynasty. The title of the Dali royal family is inherited in a descending manner from generation to generation, but those nobles can inherit the title of their ancestors from generation to generation.

The four major kingdoms had already existed in the early days of the Dali Dynasty, and it has been more than 300 years since they enjoyed the prosperity and wealth brought by Dali, but they did everything possible to hollow out the foundation of Dali.

In fact, there are not only some greedy people in the Xungui Group, but also many talented people with outstanding abilities, such as Nanyanghou, and Jingguogong.

It's just that most of the nobles are incompetent people who only know how to fill their own pockets.

When Emperor Li had just ascended the throne, he had attacked the Xungui Group. At that time, the Xungui Group almost controlled 20% of Dali's army. Therefore, Lihuang turned the six princes into the four princes, and more than [-] marquises became four. Became the Twelve Marquises today.

Because of this, Xungui has restrained a lot in recent years, but as Lihuang gets old, these Xungui groups seem to have recovered from their old ways, and they may have forgotten the prison platform where blood flowed like a river.

"Let's go, let's meet that old dude Cheng." Qin Wei stood up and said softly.

……

Chengguo government office.

Lu Shangqing was receiving two distinguished guests with great interest.

These two distinguished guests are from Tianzhou, they are the two elders of Gu Jianmen, Xuan Huang and Ding Ruoheng, both of them are rank nine warriors.

The reason why Lu Shangqing invited them to the Duke's Mansion was because he wanted to use Gu Jianmen's relationship to establish an interest chain belonging to the Duke's Mansion in Tianzhou.

Although Gu Jian Sect is named after Gu Jian, it is actually a newly rising sect in Tianzhou.

About 30 years ago, Jianghu martial artist Gu Jianfei established a sect in the Tianzhou boundary and recruited many disciples. Since then, Gu Jianmen has been established.

For more than 30 years, the disciples of the ancient sword sect have emerged in large numbers and developed extremely rapidly. In recent years, they have become the first-class sect in Tianzhou in one fell swoop.

The interests of Duke Cheng's mansion in Kyoto were damaged, and Duke Cheng prohibited Lu Shangqing from continuing to do things in Kyoto, so Lu Shangqing wanted to go to Tianzhou to find a new way to make money.

As for the Zongmen of Tianzhou, Lu Shangqing, who was too weak, looked down upon, and the Zongmen, which was too strong, involved too much. In the end, Lu Shangqing chose the newly-emerged Gujianmen.

Naturally, Gu Jianmen would not refuse the closeness of the Chengguo Duke's Mansion. Now the strength of Gu Jianmen is not weak, but the background is too shallow. Compared with those old sects in Tianzhou, the background is much worse, especially in court In terms of relationship in the classroom.

The two sides were looking for what they needed, and they fell in love with each other, so they got together.

"Eldest Young Master, there is actually one more thing I want to ask Eldest Young Master!" the old-faced Ding Ruoheng said softly.

"Senior Ding, please tell me!" Lu Shangqing narrowed his long and narrow eyes and smiled lightly.

Ding Ruoheng stroked his gray beard and said, "How should we get along with Zhen Wusi?"

Lu Shangqing's expression moved slightly, "Oh, the Zongmen in Tianzhou also pay attention to Zhenwusi?"

"It's more than concern?" Ding Ruoheng shook his head slightly and said, "With the establishment of the Martial Arts Division, all the sects are in panic."

Tianzhou is adjacent to Shuntian Mansion, and three hundred miles south from Kyoto is the boundary of Tianzhou.

Anything that happens in Kyoto can be reported to Tianzhou within a day.

As for the establishment of the Zhenwu Division and its recent actions, the major sects in Tianzhou are also full of fear.

Although there are many sects in Tianzhou, everyone knows that the power of the sect alone cannot compete with the court. If the court is determined to punish them, their situation will be very troublesome.

The corners of Lu Shangqing's mouth turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as Gu Jianmen cooperates with me, I can keep Gu Jianmen safe."

He wasn't drawing big cakes, nor was he fooling Ding Ruoheng.

Rather, he really felt that he could keep Gu Jianmen in the hands of Zhen Wusi.

It is true that Cheng Guogong's mansion lost a lot of benefits in Kyoto because of Zhen Wusi, but the ancient sword gate is in Tianzhou.

In Kyoto, many things are not easy for him to handle, but when he goes to Tianzhou, he thinks that he can control Wusi at will.

Now Zhenwusi has not left the capital, when Zhenwusi goes to Tianzhou, he will inevitably add some obstacles to Zhenwusi.

Anyway, he has already made up his mind to compete with Zhen Wusi in Tianzhou, which is one of the reasons why he wins over Gu Jianmen.

Ding Ruoheng looked towards Xuan Huang who was beside him, Xuan Huang nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Lu Shangqing's long and narrow eyes flashed a strange fluctuation.

Since he wanted to win over Gu Jianmen, he naturally knew the internal situation of Gu Jianmen.

There is a suzerain of Gu Jianmen, that is, Gu Jianfei, who has the cultivation base of the ninth rank peak. There are rumors that he has entered the innate realm, but no one can be sure if it is true or not.

Besides Gu Jianfei, Gu Jianmen also has four ninth rank elders, Ding Ruoheng and Xuan Huang are two of them.

Ding Ruoheng was old and had been famous for a long time. Lu Shangqing originally thought that he was the one who came here this time, but now it seems that Xuan Huang was the one who came here.

As for Xuan Huang, Lu Shangqing didn't know much about him, he only knew that he was the youngest elder of Gu Jianmen.

It seems to be only in the 40s these days.

People in the Jianghu called Lijian Xuanhuang.

Although this person has just gained fame in the arena, his strength has already been recognized by many people.

With the title of sharp sword, it can be seen that it has super strength in kendo.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangqing's attitude towards Xuan Huang became more kind.

As the eldest son of Cheng Guogong's mansion, he has always looked down on those martial artists who fight and kill, but he still attaches great importance to young masters with outstanding strength and great potential.

"With Eldest Young Master's protection, I, Gu Jianmen, can rest assured!" Ding Ruoheng smiled kindly.

"Haha, little things, little things!"

Lu Shangqing smiled and said: "My son is preparing a banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for the two of you. You two should appreciate it!"

"The Eldest Young Master invites you kindly, if we refuse, it will be too ignorant!" Ding Ruoheng said.

Xuan Huang didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just sat there expressionless.

But since Ding Ruoheng had already agreed, he didn't disrespect Lu Shangqing, so he agreed immediately.
