I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 116 Call me princess
  Riding a carriage and arriving six doors away, this place was jointly established by the three law divisions.

There are so many masters among them, and there are countless capable ones. Even Cao An had to admit that the first official office must be the Six Gates.

Just from the bustling scene of this bustling crowd, you can see how much work the six doors have. Compared with the idleness of the Tsing Yi Department, these six doors are really conscientious.

However, no matter how powerful the government is, there are still things to be afraid of.

Cao An is a person who makes the entire six sects fearful.

The moment I got out of the car, the entire six doors fell silent, and the clerk at the door even crawled and rushed inside, shouting: "Quick! Go and notify Capt. Lin! Cao An is coming!"

"..."

"It's not that exaggerated. Is my reputation so cruel?"

Cao An admitted that he had indeed sent away the Minister of Justice and arrested six blue-clad detectives, but these were normal cases! I am quite nice, so why...

"You sent your own Tisi to jail yesterday."

"..."

Well, it looks like his bad reputation can never be erased.

After taking a few steps forward, the chattering policemen took a few steps back. For those who didn't know, they thought he was here to cleanse the six doors with blood.

Fortunately, a red-robed head catcher appeared. Excluding the officials from the Three Law Divisions, the red-robed head catcher was already the highest level in the police system.

However, looking at this man's appearance as if he is facing a formidable enemy, it seems that yesterday's court battle and Cao An's style of hiding murderous intentions have spread throughout the six doors, and everyone is worried that they will be tricked.

The red-robed catcher's eyes narrowed slightly. Cao An came with Pang Shi today. He didn't really want to check for any black rings, right? This is much more difficult to deal with than a gangster.

After calming down, the red-clothed catcher stepped forward and said, "I have seen Pang Duzhi and Cao Shuixiu. I wonder if you two are here. What's the important matter?"

Pang Shi knew this person and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Mr. Lin. In Shangjiang City, he is also famous for being an expert in solving cases."

"How dare you boast that you are a god in solving cases in front of Cao Shuixiu?" Lin Captou quickly said politely.

He is also considered to be an older generation of police officers. He has seen many dignitaries and treacherous criminals, but Cao An is the only one he cannot see through.

Because you have no idea what Cao An is here for.

Discuss the case? Deliberately looking for trouble? still……

"I'm here to visit your six doors. I heard that you have a plaque, which is very impressive. I want to see it."

"???"

I can’t understand, I really can’t understand!

What's the point of going to someone else's house to see someone else's plaque?
  Captain Lin made an invitation gesture and sent Cao An in. He quietly pulled Pang Shi's clothes behind him and asked softly, "Pang Duzhi, what do you mean?"

"To be honest, I don't know either." Pang Shi himself was confused. Cao An's actions were unconstrained. Who knows what the meaning of the plaque is?
  "However, he told me that he came here with no ill intentions. You just need to cooperate and treat it as an investigation."

No one can understand Cao An's thoughts, because what prompted him to come here to find out was the newly obtained "Tenth Generation Canghui Sutra".

The memories passed down in it emerged in Cao An's mind, especially the last scene, which was too familiar. He had heard countless people talk about it.

Cao An walked around and soon found the plaque in an inner hall.

[The sword is drawn for justice in the world]

"How long has this plaque been hanging here?" Cao An suddenly asked.

"How long?" Lin Captou had never thought about this question, so he called a clerk and asked him to check the records, and he quickly came up with the answer.

"It has been more than 50 years. It was given by the late emperor himself, encouraging us to draw the sword for justice and justice in the world."

The meaning is very good, but unfortunately there are very few people who can do it nowadays.

Including this plaque, few people even looked up.

Cao An sat silently in front of the plaque. This posture and position were unmistakable. The scene in the inheritance was exactly this place.

"Help me check one more person." Cao An looked at the official holding an information book.

The official quickly bowed and responded: "Sir, please speak."

"There was a man who entered the government at the age of fourteen and was appointed an official at the age of twenty. At the age of thirty, he entered the court and participated in politics and rose to prominence. He is extremely skilled in swordsmanship and is good at..."

""Eight Directions Sword Technique"."

Before Cao An finished speaking, Capt. Lin on the side had already spoken.

"Does Captain Lin know this person?"

"I know him. He is my master, the number one agent in the Six Gates." Captain Lin's voice was full of admiration.

Sure enough, the so-called "Ten Life Canghui Sutra" is not a simulated scene, but a real existence.

But why did these people's memory of the exercises turn into a secret page of enlightenment?

Cao An pondered for a moment and then continued to ask: "Is there any connection between the "Bafang Sword Technique" you mentioned and the "Bafang Hidden Sword Style"?"

"Of course there is a connection. The Eight Directions Hidden Sword Style is the highest sword intention of this martial arts."

"Can you cast it once so I can see?"

"It's a pity that after Master, no one can succeed."

"Well, forget it, what do you call your master?"

Lin Captou looked at Cao An suspiciously. These questions were really strange.

"My master's surname is Gong."

"Gong...Gong? Wait, what is his connection with the former Minister of Justice Gong?"

"It was his father. Unfortunately, the master passed away young more than ten years ago."

Gong Shilang’s father?

Pang Shi looked at Cao An in surprise.

He suddenly changed his route and came to six doors to trace the identity of a person, and it turned out to be Gong Shilang's father? Pang Shi would never believe him if he said it had nothing to do with the case.

But Cao An is in chaos now!

Why did the "Tenth Generation Canghui Sutra" suddenly involve Gong Shilang's father?
  The deeper the investigation became, the more confusing it became, and Cao An's brain almost exploded. "If you don't understand, it's better not to think about it." Cao An patted Pang Shi on the shoulder and said that he couldn't figure out the connection either.

Could it be that someone who has been pretending to be dead for more than ten years is controlling the layout behind the scenes?

Or, as the old Taoist said, the entire Gong family may be the pawns of [Ten Eyes].

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to the Privy Council as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Lin."

"No need, you two adults go ahead."

……

The busy carriage set off again, and the unclear doubts made the two of them feel a little heavy.

The Privy Council, this place is the center of intelligence for the entire Daxing Dynasty.

Whether it is memorials from various ministries or local information, they will all be gathered here.

However, if you want to come here to collect information, you must obtain a secret order. Cao An was responsible for checking the black ring and showed his Class B authority token. The two of them soon entered the Privy Council.

Different from the imagined library, this place is more like a special official office.

The heavily guarded other courtyard is not only filled with officials who come here to collect information, but also many young people trained by the Privy Council itself.

Outside, whether it is the Yamen or the Six Gates, the main purpose is to train warriors to serve the country.

But here, what Cao An saw was a group of young people wearing cloaks and masks.

If the guess is correct, they should be intelligence agents, unable to see their faces, and living in darkness forever...

"Cao An! You're actually here too!" A voice suddenly stopped him in front of him.

Did you agree not to reveal your identity? Why did someone greet him just after he walked in?

Cao An followed the sound and saw a young man with a mask on his face. His true appearance could not be seen clearly, and he stopped in front of the two of them.

It’s just that this person’s voice sounds very familiar!
  "Are you a little thief?"

"..."

"What a little thief, Cao An, you are so rude. It is said that you are an expert in solving cases and are a role model for the younger generation. How could you say such vulgar words in public."

Cao An raised his eyebrows and glanced at this person with his arms crossed.

"Calling me vulgar? When you pretended to be pitiful and deceived me in Beiyan, I didn't see how elegant you were!"

"...Well, that's because of the situation. I'm usually very polite."

That's right, the man in front of him was the little thief who used the [Imperial Law] to smash Cao An's escape after his identity as a fake county magistrate was revealed.

No wonder he said before leaving that he would see him back in Kyoto.

"So you are from the Privy Council?"

"Humph! Yes, I also wanted to investigate the snow disaster. Who knew that there was a monster pretending to be the county magistrate first, so I took action."

"But why are you pretending to be yourself? Isn't it fun?"

"Of course it's fun...not fun! My identity cannot be disclosed, so I can only pretend to be the county magistrate to appease the people."

What he said makes sense.

The Privy Council is originally an intelligence organization, and all actions must be kept confidential.

During the great disaster in Beiyan, if the county magistrate suddenly died, the people's hearts would be shaken. His choice was not wrong.

"It's a pity that he is a little weak." Cao An pointed at this person and introduced him to Pang Shi in a funny way: "Let me tell you, this kid was actually plotted by two snowmen, haha~"

As Cao An said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

That snowman is so weak! It's so embarrassing to be stabbed in the back by a snowman and called a Privy Council spy.

"Ahem, Cao An, why don't we discuss this matter in the long term?" Pang Shi saw that the person in front of him had a bad expression and quickly interrupted Cao An's ridicule.

The little thief even had a sullen face and hummed: "Come with me!"

It was obvious that Pang Shi knew the other party's identity, so he dragged Cao An into the room.

The Privy Council is huge, so it would be nice to find an empty room to chat with.

As for Cao An's joke, he didn't think there was any problem. After all, he had had trouble with this little thief for a while, and he felt that he had a pretty good personality. Since we were all officials in the same dynasty, the misunderstandings in the past could be eliminated.

But it is a pity that this person is obviously not a gentleman and is very vindictive.

After entering the room, he lit a lamp of lamp oil, turned around and suddenly lifted his mask, and gently wiped his Adam's apple, and his voice instantly became clearer.

Her beautiful cheeks were as gentle as jade, her long beautiful hair fell from her hood and hung on her shoulders, and her smart eyes were full of pride.

Looking at Cao An, he said arrogantly: "Little detective, you haven't asked me to greet you when you see this princess!"

Princess!

Cao An looked at the camouflage materials lying on the ground. Nowadays, when women disguise themselves as men, can they even cover up their Adam's apple and voice?

Really...

and many more!

"Are you a princess?"

"Yes! If it's fake, I guarantee it!" The little thief felt that he could bully Cao An, so he twisted his body twice and was very happy.

But I found that Cao An's eyes gradually lost focus, and he seemed to be thinking about the problem, but the surprise on his face became more and more intense.

"What's wrong with you, Cao An? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, but I found an important clue that I have been missing."

"What clue?"

"The royal family! Members of the royal family also have the [Imperial Law], and they are also likely to command Minister Gong. The mastermind behind the scenes may not necessarily come from the Three Laws Division."
