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

Chapter 123 Monk Sanyang, the blood debt twenty years ago

Detaining all Privy Council officials and sealing off the entire Privy Council, Cao An's move was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and completely igniting the whole place.

"Cao An, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?"

"Cao Shuixiu, what you're doing is inappropriate. Even if you want to investigate the case, you can't seal off this place!"

"I'll run away first."

"Cao An, Your Majesty asked you to handle the case, not to act recklessly based on his favor!"

……

Questions and accusations came overwhelmingly.

You must know that the Privy Council is the intelligence center of the entire Daxing Dynasty. It has never been stagnant since its establishment.

But now, Cao An wants to mobilize the imperial army to forcibly stop them. He is absolutely crazy.

Pang Shi also looked shocked and warned in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this. The status of the Privy Council is extraordinary. You actually asked me to lead the imperial army to surround you?"

"Didn't you just come out from the Holy Sage? The gold medal in my hand is still warm. I am fully responsible for this case."

"But is the purpose of surrounding the Privy Council to solve a case?"

"Yes, I will bear all the consequences. Just do it. Don't worry, a quarter of an hour is enough. It won't take too long."

Cao An was still stubborn, but his behavior was just like a maid at home who made a mistake and shouted for someone to ransack the house. Even if it was to investigate a case, there was no need to do so.

Pang Shi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and left, turning around to mobilize the imperial army.

This move was very risky, but he still chose to trust Cao An's judgment. This mistake must be a serious mistake.

Soon, Cao An used the gold medal as a sign and asked Pang Shi to mobilize the imperial army to completely block the surroundings of the Privy Council, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

As for the officials of the Third Law Department, they either ran away in a hurry or were kicked out by Cao An. The more than 500 people gathered outside the Chancellor's house at this moment were all spies or instructors of the Privy Council.

Cao An nodded with satisfaction and asked Princess Wen Zhao, who was crying but still persisting, "How is it? Do you still have the strength to investigate the case?"

"Yes!" The little princess was stubborn and strong. She must avenge the master.

"Okay! You are familiar with the library of the Privy Council. You and Huorong will help me retrieve a piece of information about the Ye family's tragedy 20 years ago. Remember, this is very important. Don't tell anyone but us."

The annihilation of the Ye family was the root of everything. It could have led to the death of the dignified head of the Privy Council. There must be a huge secret hidden in it.

Cao An wanted to investigate the case secretly and try not to alert the mastermind behind it, so that he could take the initiative.

But as soon as he said these words, Sanyang beside him suddenly changed his expression, said the Buddha's name, and stepped forward: "Let the poor monk and Princess Wenzhao go together to find the files. The poor monk is faster."

Is it fast to find files? This sounded a little awkward, but Cao An didn't care, nodded and let them go.

At this time, the entire Privy Council spies also gathered. Most of them had to perform secret missions, so when they met in the daytime, they either wore masks or cloaks and looked quite mysterious.

The only problem is that he has a bad temper. At this moment, all hostile eyes have been focused on Cao An. Some people even have their hands on the hilt of the sword, as if they want to attack at any time.

The Privy Council is not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries, and it will not obey the orders of the Tsing Yi Department. From the moment they enter, they have erased their names and wandered on the dark border.

He is usually responsible for inquiring about information and assassinating enemies. Not only does he have outstanding abilities, he also has extraordinary combat prowess.

They thought they had made no mistake, but instead they were surrounded by the imperial army sent by Cao An. With such a treasonous move, they already had the idea of ​​breaking out of the encirclement and filing a complaint to the emperor.

The masters and instructors beside him questioned Cao An even more angrily. If the deputy commander hadn't suppressed him calmly, the flames of war would have been ignited.

Seeing that the people gathered in front of him were almost there, Cao An finally took a step forward and said:

"Everyone, please introduce yourselves. I am Cao An and Shui Xiu from the Tsing Yi Department. I have asked you all to come here with only one purpose: to find out the mastermind behind the ambush on me last night."

"Boring." As soon as Cao An finished speaking, there was a sharp snort from below, turned around and left.

His departure seemed to ignite the emotions of the spies, and nearly a hundred people followed him away in an instant.

Of course, this reaction was also expected.

If Cao An had gathered them now to discuss the death of the leader, they would still listen, and they would definitely try their best to avenge the leader.

But Cao An was only there to be ambushed?

Just ask the guards to investigate directly. Most of them were not even in the Privy Council last night. What does it have to do with them?
  After the death of the leader, external informants and arrangements will be in turmoil. They must go to suppress it, otherwise the intelligence network that the leader has worked so hard to establish will fall short.

This is currently the only thing they can do for the Privy Council.

Perhaps in their eyes, Cao An is just a clown who doesn't know the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the spy, and only takes the gold medal to do things for himself.

But Cao An didn't get used to it and shouted directly from behind: "I have arranged for the imperial army to seal the four gates. You can't get out."

The leading man, wearing a cold white iron mask, glared at Cao An with a stern look, then pulled out his sword and said coldly: "I want to leave, no one can stop me."

This person seemed to have quite a reputation among the spies. This action of drawing the sword instantly brought up a crowd of people, who were ready to kill at the door with their swords raised.

Not to mention the water embroidery department of Qingyi Department, even if the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries came, it would be impossible for the Privy Council to arrest them.

"But if you walk out now, then the title of trash will be pinned on your heads in the future." Cao An spoke again, but listening to these words, why does it feel like he is adding fuel to the fire?
  Now let alone the team of spies led by the Iron Masked Man, even Coach Ma on the side couldn't help but say: "Cao Shuixiu, I respect you for repeatedly solving strange cases and being blessed, but your words... Are you insulting our Privy Council?"

"Yes!"

Clang! ! !
  Cao An's straightforward answer made the group of spies finally couldn't bear it any longer and unsheathed their weapons.

Most of the people present did not know the inside story, and Cao An suddenly called him to insult him. No one could bear this tone.

Ying Huorong also hurriedly stood in front of Cao An and looked at him suspiciously, "You are scolding people for no reason at all?"

Of course there is a reason! Isn't that what I meant?

Cao An patted Ying Huorong on the shoulder and motioned for her to retreat, while he stood in front of a group of spies.

There is no way, you can't keep people if you don't say something cruel! Look, aren’t they all left here?

Although I wanted to stay and kill him, the result was similar.

Cao An scanned the crowd and continued: "I haven't even finished speaking, and everyone is leaving in a hurry. The bones in the commander's courtyard are still cold! You really embarrass him."

Tie Mian also walked up to Cao An, his murderous intention already locked on him: "We are also very painful after the death of the leader, but now we must go out and stabilize the situation to live up to the instructions of the leader. I don't have time to accompany you to make trouble, and you can't You have no right to call us trash."

Cao An chuckled: "Then what if the reason I told you can convince you?"

"Then I will call myself a waste. If you can't tell me, my sword will definitely kill you."

Gee, look at these killer spies, they have such bad tempers! He actually publicly threatened to kill the imperial official? It's terrible.

Fortunately, Cao An doesn't care. Now, he wants answers even more.

"I said, I was ambushed last night by three groups of men in black. One group wanted to burn down the library, one group helped to stop it, and the other group wanted to kill me. Do you know how they got in?"

Cao An's question made the spies frown slightly.

They heard about what happened last night, but they thought it was just someone taking advantage of the situation. After all, the work of a spy and assassin is often carried out at night. The Privy Council is relatively empty at night, so it is reasonable for it to be breached.

I heard that they killed the other party and didn't seem to cause much damage, so they didn't care.

Unexpectedly, there are actually three groups of men in black? It's a bit weird indeed.

Tie Mian was not in the Privy Council yesterday and could only look at Coach Ma beside him.

Coach Ma quickly stepped forward and replied: "Cao Shuixiu, what happened last night was indeed due to a slight laxity in defense. We are investigating the specific details of the infiltration. I believe it will be soon..."

"No need to check, I already know the answer. They came in from the south gate. Someone among you gave the order to change the defense, cooperated inside and outside, and sent the people in."

Cao An's affirmative tone made all the spies and assassins uneasy. Malfeasance and murder are two crimes!
  If someone in the Privy Council colludes with foreign enemies, murders officials, and persecutes princesses, this will definitely be a crisis for the entire Privy Council.

But Cao An's bombshell was far more than that: "My being assassinated is a trivial matter, but the more troublesome things are yet to come."

"Bigger trouble?"

"That's right. Why should I seal off the Privy Council? It's to save your face. Otherwise, if the news gets out, you losers will never be able to raise your heads in this life."

If you scold, just scold hard.

Zhu Xian stood behind, already starting to break out in a cold sweat. These were a group of killers! Brother, do you still want to sleep well tonight?
  The iron mask in front of him was even more impatient, and he directly shouted: "If you know who adjusted the defense, just say it in one breath, and we will kill him."

"do not know."

"Don't know?" Tie Mian has been scolded so many times as trash, and you tell me you don't know, you...

"I know you are angry, but I am even more angry because the person who provided me with this information was a foreign spy! A spy planted among you!"

As soon as these words came out, all the spies' hearts jumped.

Cao An glared at Tiemian, then passed him and roared directly at the hundreds of people behind him, pointing at his nose and yelling curses.

"As spies and killers, you were not even aware that three groups of men in black infiltrated your home. The library was not set on fire, and it was only through the intervention of foreigners that they stopped it.

"I, Shui Xiu of the Tsing Yi Department, was forced to go to foreigners early in the morning and buy information about our Privy Council from them.

"Tell me, you are nothing but trash!"

Coax~~
  Cao An's words completely ignited the whole audience.

That's right, it doesn't matter now who asked Nanmen to deploy defenses.

The important thing is that the Privy Council is protected by foreign spies.

They claim to be the top killer spies in the dynasty, but they have been so thoroughly infiltrated by foreign spies.

They didn't know that a wolf had entered the house, and they didn't know that a tiger had entered the house. In the end, the wolf and the tiger made a scene in their house most of the night, and a group of people were too stupid to understand the situation.

What is it if it’s not waste?
  "Who is the foreign spy?" The man in the iron mask's eyes were red, and the tiger's mouth holding the sword was about to burst and bleed. The frustration at this moment made him just want to kill someone.

But Cao An just sneered back.

"I won't tell you. If you don't have the ability to detect it yourself, then I hope that the foreign spy can stay. If you all die in your sleep in the future, at least he can still send me a message for you. Collect the bodies.”

The unabashed insult made Zhu Xian take a few steps back silently.

It's too scary. Cao An is too scary today. It must be because he went to the Jiaofang Division this morning and was called in mid-work, so he had no place to vent his anger.

These hundreds of spies represent hundreds of killers!

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop him. Cao An was definitely the first person who dared to yell at the Privy Council like this.

What's even more frightening is that these people have been scolded, but no one seems to have fought back against Cao An?
  The fight among themselves has already begun.

Tie Mian turned around and shouted to the spies around him: "Who was on guard at the south gate last night! Get out!"

"It's us. We did receive a special order last night." Several responsible people stepped forward to explain without hesitation.

"Who gave the transfer order?"

"I don't know. It was placed in the Wenlue Hall last night. It is like this on weekdays. Now, the order is here, but we didn't see the person who ordered it."

"Let me take a look. There seems to be oil stains on the dressing. It smells... of grebe paste."

"In the evening, the only one still maintaining the sword is Coach Ma."

"What? You can't drag me into trouble! I also saw the Vice-President went to the Wenlue Hall yesterday."

……

The scene became chaotic.

If you talk nicely, these people will drag you to death and turn around and leave proudly.

Are you happy now that you have been scolded by Cao An?
  At this moment, they began to do their best to use their strengths, work hard to analyze the timeline, and drag each other down. Cao An didn't have to worry about it.

Seeing such a result, Ying Changfeng patted Cao An on the shoulder and praised his wit.

Zhu Xian looked at him with admiration.

Only Pan Daxi didn't seem to understand the situation, scratching his head and saying nothing.

As for Ying Tinder...

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" This man was clenching his fists and fanning the flames with great interest. He was obviously watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

At this moment, Princess Wen Zhao also came back, holding three files in her hand.

"Found it so quickly?"

It was difficult to review a case 20 years ago. Cao An thought it would take a long time to sift through the files, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

Princess Wen Zhao turned her head and glanced at Sanyang, then whispered: "It's all thanks to Monk Sanyang's help. You can ask him about the specific situation."

Cao An took the file and looked through it roughly:

"In the thirty-eighth year of Wanjingli, Qingyang County suffered a disaster, and no one of the 310 people in the village survived"

"In the thirty-eighth year of Wanjingli, the ship merchant Ye family of Qingyang County was robbed by horse thieves, their property was plundered, and their family was brutally destroyed."

"In the thirty-seventh year of Wanjingli, the rising star of the Daxing Dynasty came to the world, bringing continuous good fortune. 》

Cao An frowned slightly after reading the three files.

The first two were very clear and were exactly the information Cao An needed, but what did the last one mean? Is there any connection between the coming of Rising Star and the destruction of the Ye family?
  Cao An raised his head and looked at Wen Zhao, and Wen Zhao turned to look at Monk Sanyang: Sanyang picked this share.

Monk Sanyang's face was dark, with strange waves in his eyes. He sighed and clasped his palms together.

"Amitabha, the poor monk, is the orphan of the Ye family twenty years ago."
