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

Chapter 262 Harem Battle
  Is there any enmity between Daxing and Daomen?

Of course, Emperor Wan Jing signed a contract with the Taoist sect to help the Arowana become a fairy beast in exchange for the support of the Taoist sect and the right to use the Arowana for fifty years.

In the 48th year, Emperor Wan Jing launched the Changtianmen War.

With the silent help of Jian Zheng and Huorong's mother, he successfully severely injured Arowana and sealed him in the immortal tomb under the black slaves.

The Taoist elders who were stationed in Shangjiang City also fled far away, and a ten-year blockade of the East China Sea was launched.

Anyone who knows the truth about the Changtianmen war will feel that the Dongzhou Daomen will cross the thunder field and come here to achieve ambition.

"But this time I boarded the holy ship and got to know many Dongzhou monks. They were very friendly to me and were not as hostile to Daxing as I imagined."

"Why? What happened back then should be regarded as Emperor Wan Jing breaking the contract unilaterally. Aren't they going to take revenge?" Everyone asked in confusion.

Cao An shook his head.

“Of course revenge must be avenged, but Dongzhou is Dongzhou, Daomen is Daomen, and enemies are enemies.

“Dongzhou is very large, and there are countless Taoisms distributed on it, such as the Alchemy Taoism, Talisman Taoism, Huangquan Taoism, etc. that we know.

"To put it simply, the dozen Taoist sects I met on the boat have no grudges against Daxing. Even the golden arowana, they have only heard of it and don't know its origin at all."

The golden arowana comes from the Taoist sect. This is the news that Emperor Wan Jing deliberately spread.

But after Cao An's in-depth investigation, this golden arowana actually came from the arrangement of [Ten Eyes]. Even if they control some sects in Dongzhou, they cannot represent all orthodoxies.

Including the largest immortal alliance in Dongzhou, no one has issued a pursuit order against Daxing.

It can be said that Daxing's current wariness against the Dongzhou Taoism is entirely due to the anxiety unilaterally caused by Emperor Wan Jing. Regardless of whether the other Taoism in Dongzhou shows goodwill or not, they are all blocked from the East China Sea.

"So, our Daxing isolation from the East China Sea for ten years is a complete waste of troops?" Zhu Xian took a look at the abacus and roughly calculated the military expenditure. The speed of burning money made him feel distressed.

The Bailang Army in the East China Sea chose to be stationed all year round in order to prepare for the large-scale invasion of Dongzhou Daomen.

But if the opponent is just [Ten Eyes], what's the use of blocking the entire East China Sea coast?
  The enemy can break them into pieces and sneak across to Nanchu.

For example, Yushi, who had already stationed troops on the islands near Nanchu, was unable to defend himself.

"What did your Majesty think of such a stupid policy of sequestering the country?" Ying Changfeng couldn't help it and cursed directly.

If the Bailang Army had not been guarding the coast of the East China Sea all year round, they would have been able to mobilize the navy and march towards Nanchu, and they would not be in such a passive situation now.

Even a prince from the Viper Kingdom would dare to jump in front of them.

But this time, Cao An wanted to speak to Emperor Wan Jing: "He is not stupid. Blocking the South China Sea is probably a last resort."

"Have you guessed what he was thinking?"

"It's just a rough guess, but the final determination has to wait for the results of the Imperial City Division."

When King An launched the rebellion, everything from the palace to the harem was attacked to varying degrees. The Tsing Yi Department even took away the treasures in the secret treasury, which shows how chaotic it was at that time.

Looking back now, a powerful treasure like the jade seal is not used to protect the secret treasury, but to protect the palace prison?

Then the people detained in the heavenly prison are very important!
  It is related to the life and death of the entire Imperial City Division. Pang Shipang and his son Pang Hong will definitely try their best to cooperate and find out the truth, which will not be too far away.

Cao An drank the tea in the cup, straightened his clothes and stood up, preparing to do some activities before going to investigate the case.

But today, I feel like something is not quite right. What is wrong?

"It seems... too quiet? That's right! Where are Tinder and Red Fox? Where have they gone?"

Cao An suddenly discovered that the girls who were usually the most noisy and loved listening to stories were suddenly missing.

I just came out of seclusion yesterday and rushed to investigate without paying attention. I still haven't seen him today. This is something wrong.

"Oh, you were in seclusion before, and Red Fox couldn't sit still, so he decided to go back to the Monster Clan first." Ying Changfeng waved his hand and explained casually.

A practitioner's retreat may take a long or short time. Especially when Cao An accepted Xiaojiu's consecration and practiced Ksitigarbha Buddhism, no one knew how long it would take for him to achieve enlightenment.

Red Fox has been away from the demon clan for ten years, and now he has finally recovered his body. He really can't wait to go back and see it.

Ying Huorong is also a noisy master, so the two sisters decided to form an unparalleled duo to bravely conquer the monster clan.

Ying Changfeng did not stop him. Back then, Red Fox could become the Demon King, but now that he is more powerful in battle, it shouldn't be a big problem to regain the throne... right?

"Okay, then I'll focus on solving this assassination case first."

"Oh? Do you have a clue?"

"No, but if you go to the harem for a walk, you will definitely gain a lot."

……

There is no government today. In the past, officials would take advantage of their holidays to relax.

But in today's imperial court, the situation is unstable, and officials can only turn into good ministers who love to work overtime, getting busy early in the morning and coping with changes at any time.

Ponzi is one of them.

I stood at the entrance of the palace early and waited for an hour.

It wasn't until Cao An drank morning tea and reviewed the game with Hua Zhi for a while that he came over leisurely.

"Hi~ Morning!"

"Morning? Why is it early? It's already three o'clock in the morning!" Pang Shi was so anxious!

Early in the morning, his father went to the Tsing Yi Department and told him when he came back: Today, things are going to change.

Who can still sit still!

Before Cao An sent someone to report, he waited here in advance, wanting to launch an investigation as soon as possible.

The assassination case of Emperor Wan Jing was jointly handled by the Imperial City Department, the Forbidden Army, and the Six Gates, and the case remained unsolved for ten days.

To put it harshly, they even made no progress.

The most fundamental point is that the method of murder in this case is still unclear.

There are imperial guards guarding the outside of the house, and formations are also set up on the windows of the room. It can be said that the only way to enter the house to commit murder is through the front door.

But Emperor Wan Jing was still conscious at the time. Was he that stupid to let the prisoner come to him and give him a brick?
  This case is too strange.

"Actually, it's not strange. There's just some evidence that you guys can't find." Cao An said very confidently, showed his gold medal, and went straight to the harem.

"Why? We are conducting a joint investigation among the three agencies. What went wrong?"

"The mistake is that you represent the court, and I represent the Tsing Yi Department."

Pangshi followed behind with a strange look on his face: "What's the difference?"

"Of course it's different, because you are doing things for Emperor Wan Jing, and I am capable of taking care of Emperor Wan Jing." Cao An smiled mysteriously and stood still.

Before Pang Shi could understand, Eunuch Yu had already trotted over.

"Old slave has seen Cao Shuixiu and Pang Duzhi." Eunuch Yu appeared.

Different from before, Cao An directly accepted the imperial edict this time, followed by Pang Shi, and allowed him to investigate in the harem.

There is no need for Mr. Yu to lead the way, and the investigation time is even more casual.

But as soon as the two of them entered the harem, Eunuch Yu appeared. Does this mean that this person had received the order and was waiting for his arrival?
  Cao An smiled slightly: "Long time no see! Eunuch Yu, do you have any business with me?"

"I heard that Cao Shuixiu is investigating the assassination of the Holy Emperor. The Queen has some clues and would like to discuss them with you."

Pangshi next to him heard this, his eyes widened.

This is what Cao An said, the clues will come by themselves?
  Do you think he is a fool? Where is the clue here! This is the prince's party, trying to win over Cao An, right?
  How many spies of Emperor Wan Jing are scattered throughout the harem? Are you recruiting people directly and openly? Isn’t that a little too much!
  Pang Shi wanted to ask, but he saw that Cao An had followed him without hesitation, all the way to the East Palace without hesitation.

Is this not hidden at all?

Pangshi covered his head with a headache. Today, things are really going to change.
