Chapter 184: Evil Gold on the Blade
"This is evil gold frost."

In Luoyang Hongdao Temple, Changqing looked at the strange water that gradually turned into blue in the white porcelain bowl, frowned and said: "This kind of thing is obtained by refining the external elixir, but it is not a panacea to help people practice, let alone It is close to improper heat, causing the metal and eight stones to be refined into slag waste. If ordinary people accidentally eat this evil metal frost, the internal organs will be consolidated and necrotic in a moment."

"Is it so poisonous?" Cheng Sanwu stood in front of a cabinet filled with bottles and jars. Hearing Chang Qing's explanation, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

After dealing with the king who stayed in Dongdu, Afu informed Changqing of the interrogation results. Hearing that the poison used on the assassin's blade was special, Changqing suggested coming to Hongdao Temple in the city to find out.

This Hongdao Temple is a famous external alchemy sect in Dongdu. It often refines bait and medicine for local dignitaries. There are also various alchemy cauldrons in the temple, which can be used to detect poisons.Daguan Zhenren had frequent contacts with the master of Hongdao Temple, and Changqing also made good friends with him, so he easily borrowed an alchemy room.

After some fiddling with Chang Qing, it didn't take long for the poison to be identified, and several antidotes were quickly prepared. Afu ordered someone to give it to Da Yi immediately, and the three of them relaxed for a while and discussed the assassination.

"Evil golden frost is not something ordinary people can get." Chang Qing pointed to the alchemy stoves of different sizes and shapes in the alchemy room, as well as various utensils and medicines: "It is said to be slag waste, but it also needs to be matched with various kinds of gold and stone. Only by using it can it be refined. If the elixir for prolonging life is about its benefits, then the Evil Golden Frost is about its harm."

Afu asked: "Can you find out the specific origin of this evil golden frost?"

"Are you asking about the specific person who made the elixir?" Chang Qing pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy, especially for experts who are proficient in refining the elixir. Most of them are good at avoiding ghosts and gods, and often choose to set up furnaces in remote mountains that are inaccessible. Li Ding. Even if you are acquainted with me, you will not publicize your actions of making alchemy everywhere."

"Do you want to interrogate that Zhao Teng again?" Cheng Sanwu pinched the knuckles of two fingers and made a snapping sound.

"I guess he doesn't know where the poison on the knife comes from." Afu felt a little angry: "It's unusual for a little-known martial arts sect to be able to obtain such poison."

"He claimed to be sent by the King of Wuyi County, which is bizarre enough." Changqing tapped his forehead: "The move of assassinating Damenyi is really unnecessary at the moment. With the strength of Bohai County, we must deal with us with all our strength. When Daxia marches on a crusade, it doesn’t seem like he still has the strength to send people to assassinate him.”

"And it's said to be an assassination, but all the people used are Daxia people." Afu sneered: "Wuyi County Prince has such ability, it is better to break through Youzhou early, maybe everyone will eat pots of juice along the way to welcome the king Master."

Cheng Sanwu rubbed his chin: "I think that Zhao Teng is quite capable. Although he has just touched the threshold of Gang Qi Luck User, it will cost a lot of money to hire such a person to assassinate him, right?"

"This is not a matter of money." Chang Qing asked: "Don't you think that Zhao Teng and those assassins were all desperate when they assassinated the masters? This is closer to the likes of dead soldiers."

Cheng Sanwu was puzzled: "It's almost the same when I'm fighting."

"You are a fool, how can others compare with you?" Afu also discovered the problem and said bluntly: "There should be someone behind Zhao Teng, or in other words, he thought he was acting under the orders of Prince Wu Yi."

"What about He Xiaotong?" Cheng Sanwu asked, "This man seems to have a high status in the Liushou Mansion."

"More than that." Chang Qing said: "The Jinping sect is one of the most famous martial arts sects near Dongdu. Their foundation is located in Jinping Mountain, Shou'an County. It is said that its founder accidentally saw an immortal dancing a sword in the mountains, and thus learned a set of superior swordsmanship. . My master speaks highly of them."

"This person is extremely suspicious, but if we attack him, I'm afraid Dongdu will be left behind. It's better to wait for Yan Fengjun to speak first." Afu is by no means a person who is afraid of trouble, and even likes to tease others, but the current situation is unclear, she Don't want to get involved in any more trouble.

The three of them had just left Hongdao Temple when someone on the way reported that Yan Fengjun had arrived in Luoyang.

Changqing couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "It came so fast! How many days have it been since the letter was sent to Chang'an? Even the [-]-mile postage horse could not make the round trip."

Afu explained: "Because Yan Fengjun can really fly, he can travel back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang in one night."

"Hey, this is the real master." Cheng Sanwu felt a bit of fighting spirit in his heart.

When the three of them rushed to the Yamen Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Luoyang, Yan Fengjun had obviously heard about the assassination last night, but he still congratulated Cheng Sanwu first: "Mr. Cheng's face is radiant. It seems that not only his injuries have healed, but his skills have also improved." There is also great effort!”

Cheng Sanwu was not polite and said with a bold smile: "Hahahaha! With what Yan Fengjun said, how can I dare to be lazy and sleep? Why don't I get up quickly and serve the court?"

When Changqing heard this from Cheng Sanwu, he only felt an indescribable strangeness. At this time, Yan Fengjun also looked at him, cupped his hands and said: "This time, it is thanks to Mr. Changqing that I have a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security. General. In addition to defeating a powerful enemy in the previous battle at Yongning Temple, it can be said that he has made outstanding achievements."

"It's just a branch office. Mr. Yan Feng is so complimentary." Changqing felt vaguely inappropriate as soon as he said these words. He thought he was helping Cheng Sanwu, but if it spread to Mr. Yan Feng's ears, who knew if he would be rejected by him? The attitude of the Prime Minister?

Fortunately, Yan Fengjun immediately asked about the assassination: "I just came to Luoyang City and heard that Damen Yi was assassinated at Tianjin Bridge?"

"That's right, but we took action in time and Daen Yi's life was saved. However, he is currently suffering from poisoning and still needs to be nursed back to health..."

Afu was about to give a detailed account of the details before and after the assassination, as well as the information tortured from Zhao Teng.

After learning that He Xiaotong, one of the Eight Swordsmen of Luoyang, had conspired to participate in the assassination, Yan Fengjun's face became ugly.

"This is roughly what happened." Afu actually really wanted to see the appearance of Yan Fengjun when he was embarrassed, so he went a step further: "This matter may involve the Dongdu Liubei Mansion. Just after the assassination last night, the Dongdu Liubei Wang Xie then led a group of armored soldiers to press for questioning, with a tyrannical attitude. If Changqing had not come forward to dissuade him, I am afraid that Damen Yi and Zhao Teng would have been taken away by him, and I don't dare to think about what would have happened."

Changqing did not interrupt, but he found that Afu clearly intended to lead the situation to a more extreme situation.

"The assassination failed, and the person who planned it may take action." Yan Fengjun asked: "Where is Zhao Teng at this moment?"

"He is in the dungeon and is being held in solitary confinement. To prevent him from committing suicide, we have someone keeping an eye on him." Afu gestured to somewhere in the government office.

"Since Zhao Teng has revealed He Xiaotong, if he doesn't die, people who want to kill him and silence him will come one after another." Yan Fengjun said: "At this point, it may not matter that Wang Xie is left in Dongdu. He was just last year. He Xiaotong has been in the left-behind mansion for nearly 20 years. He is a key player in the Dongdu area. He has been in business for a long time, has a wide network of contacts, and has enough means and opportunities."

Afu snorted coldly in her heart, Yan Fengjun's words were clearly intended to separate Wang Xie and He Xiaotong, and not to implicate the crime on Dongdu Liushou.When she thought about how easily that incompetent fool could escape the danger, she felt quite dissatisfied, and she secretly thought about how to avenge this person's stupid offense.

"Cheng Langjun, what do you think?" Yan Fengjun asked again immediately. "Hehe, since they are inside and outside the enemy, they should be killed. If not, why don't they wait for the New Year?" After Cheng Sanwu smiled, he seemed to remember that yesterday was the Lantern Festival: "Oh, the New Year is already over."

Yan Fengjun thought about it and said: "I plan to let the wind go, escort Zhao Teng to Chang'an, and lure He Xiaotong to take the initiative. What do you think?"

A Fu asked: "What if He Xiaotong doesn't take action?"

"When the real evidence is found out, he will be unable to deny it."

Afu found that Yan Fengjun was obviously very conservative in this matter.The Ministry of Internal Affairs is investigating a left-behind government official. Why should it be so cautious?So what if He Xiaotong is the leader of some big sect?

Even if it is Yongning Temple, the leading Buddhist sect in Hebei, Afu can still lead people to break into it. After a big war, the temple is almost destroyed and the family is wiped out. She herself is not guilty at all. This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
"Then I'll arrange for people to spread the news." Afu said.

"No need." Yan Fengjun looked at Cheng Sanwu with a smile: "I think it's best to leave this matter to Cheng Langjun."

"Me?" Cheng Sanwu was a little confused: "But I don't know what to do."

Yan Fengjun was not too worried: "The assassination happened in public last night. If He Xiaotong wants to find out the news, he will definitely send someone to secretly monitor every move of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Cheng Langjun might as well go to the market and walk, maybe someone will take the initiative to inquire." "

Cheng Sanwu nodded in confusion. Afu saw this and realized that Yan Fengjun was clearly testing Cheng Sanwu. He wanted to say a few more words, but Cheng Sanwu suddenly asked: "The most famous brothel in Luoyang City." Where?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled. Even though you, Yan Fengjun, are used to seeing monsters and ghosts, you still didn't expect Cheng Sanwu to be so straightforward and unrestrained. He then smiled and said: "How can a great man like Cheng Langjun be worthy of the vulgar?" Pink? Everyone in the Eastern Capital knows that if they want to see beauties, their first choice is Guoseyuan."

"Guoseyuan? I've heard of this name several times, but I've never been there before." Cheng Sanwu turned to look at Changqing and said with great interest: "Come with me."

"Why, why?" Changqing was puzzled: "Isn't this inappropriate? As a Taoist, I shouldn't be in that kind of situation."

Yan Fengjun agreed: "Mr. Changqing, don't worry about it. There are also women's crowns in Guoseyuan. Going there to make friends with Taoists and come and go and sing for entertainment can show off your youthful charm."

"Come together, come together!" Cheng Sanwu raised his hand to hold Chang Qing's shoulders, patted his chest and said: "I already said I would take you to visit the brothel, and this time I just happened to do something on the way. But please remember to give me I am supporting the scene, but I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself and be treated as a joke."

Chang Qing was about to cry but had no tears. She thought to herself, Cheng Sanwu, had you often been treated as a joke in the past?He could only look at Afu, hoping that she would say something to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the dominatrix also became playful and covered her mouth with a smile: "This is just right. It would seem awkward for Cheng Sanwu to go to Guoseyuan alone."

"Then let's set off now and pick up some outfits on the way!" Cheng Sanwu laughed loudly and left with Chang Qing's shoulders in his arms.

Yan Fengjun watched the two leave with a smile on his face. Afu glanced secretly, and the other party noticed it and asked: "I see that Cheng Sanwu's whole body is extraordinary. He is more profound and profound than before. I guess it’s also thanks to Mr. Shangzhang?”

Afu narrowed his eyes and smiled. Cheng Sanwu received the help of Xuan Mizhu, which not only healed his serious injuries, but also greatly improved his skills.No matter how talented and extraordinary a person is, his rapid improvement in martial arts cultivation shows that he must have some adventures.

In fact, for experts like Afu and Yan Fengjun who have experienced a long time in the world, so-called adventures are not too rare.But when Yan Fengjun asked this, he was obviously testing Afu.

"Although I want to recognize it, it's really not all my fault." Afu smiled softly: "The person who was really responsible for treating Cheng Sanwu in the past six months was Chang Qing. He was inspired by the Taoism of Fu Zang Palace and created the A secret method that imitates the true form of the god general to reshape the meridians was first used on Cheng Sanwu."

These words were actually what Afu and the three of them had discussed in advance. After all, Cheng Sanwu had a special talent with two veins. If others from the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered it, they would inevitably dig into it.In this case, it is better to give all the credit to Chang Qing. Anyway, he himself had a similar misunderstanding at first.

"Oh, no wonder he is so close to Mr. Changqing." Yan Fengjun nodded slightly.

Seeing that he had dealt with it, Afu began to test the other party in turn: "There is one thing, I have to say - this assassination is extremely unusual. Although Zhao Teng claimed to be assigned by the King Wuyi of Bohai Kingdom, the people involved were related to Bohai Country has nothing to do with it.”

"Shang Zhangjun thinks that this assassination is related to the mastermind behind the chaos in Hebei?" Yan Fengjun reacted immediately.

"Everyone knows it well, so there's no need to hide it, right?" Afu showed a disdainful smile: "I just discovered now that Qiang Yujun's most powerful skill is not his archery skills, but his ability to figure out the intentions of his superiors. Since we can't find the real one, The mastermind behind the scenes, then put the blame on the Hebei nobles and give the saint a chance to move to Hongfan Academy. In this way, the origin of Pure Light Goddess can be ignored, and no one will care anyway. "

"The Minister of Internal Affairs is loyal to the saint, and it is natural for him to eliminate hidden dangers." Yan Fengjun smiled lightly.

"But now it seems that hidden dangers still exist." Afu's eyes were deep.

"There is something more than what you said in the last chapter."

"I still haven't figured out why Liu Xuantong was in Yongning Temple." Afu asked, "Jan Fengjun is very familiar with the stories of the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Could it be that he saw Liu Xuantong with his own eyes?"

Yan Fengjun thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm lucky to have seen it, but I was just a junior at that time, so I could only watch the heroes from all walks of life competing against each other."

A Fu looked curious: "Liu Xuantong's corpse, even if he can't exert his full strength during his lifetime, has left us almost unable to fight back. I really wonder how Emperor Taizu and Fu Shifeng did it back then?"

"Why does Shang Zhangjun want to know about this matter?" Yan Fengjun looked a little more serious.

"Since we want to investigate Fu Shifeng, we can't know anything about it." Afu sighed with a hint of resentment: "It's a pity that Mr. Yan Feng covered it up in the past, making it very difficult for us people."
