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

Chapter 265 Breaking the situation
  The post house in the north of the city is extremely noisy today.

This place is responsible for receiving officials entering Beijing on weekdays, and it is also a place for receiving envoys from foreign countries.

Naturally, those few envoys were the only ones who dared to make trouble in this place.

Among them, the most popular one is She Huai, the prince of Viper Kingdom.

"You, Cao Shuixiu, said it yourself yesterday. We have no suspicion. Why aren't you letting him go today?" She Huai shouted at the receiving officials.

But this official was helpless!

How could he dare to release people at will without receiving an order from above to unblock them?

Now that Daxing is in turmoil and they don't dare to offend them, the officials can only endure their grievances and explain again and again.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but you can't leave yet. The follow-up investigation requires the cooperation of several people."

"Cooperate? It's been ten days, haven't we cooperated enough? I want to meet the Holy Spirit, and I will let Cao An give an explanation today!"

She Huai took the other two envoys together and took advantage of Daxing to show weakness and forced them to explain, which made the receiving officials sweat profusely.

But soon they discovered that She Huai had stopped talking.

The arrogant posture just now seemed to have waned in an instant, the roaring voice stopped, and he even took a step back silently.

The officials quickly looked back, and sure enough, Cao An led the team and strode forward. Only this man could control the situation!
  "Cao Shuixiu!"

All the officials in Daxing, regardless of their official rank, bowed respectfully when they saw Cao An, and silently retreated to both sides to make way for him.

Of course Cao An refused to give in. He simply said hello to them and walked up to She Huai.

Looking at the old enemy in front of her, She Huai swallowed nervously, trying to gain momentum and speak.

But Cao An had no intention of giving him a chance.

boom!
  Without saying a word, Cao An suddenly flew up and kicked She Huai in the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters.

He smashed the door of the post house, rolled back into the yard vomiting blood, crawled back a few steps on his hands and feet, and looked at Cao An with a look full of horror.

When the two armies fought and didn't kill the envoy, Cao An used force mercilessly? Is this person crazy? Do you really want Daxing to be attacked from all sides?

The officials and envoys around him were all shocked and speechless by this kick.

The envoys from the Viper Kingdom rushed over in a panic to check on their prince, pointing at Cao An and yelling, accusing Daxing of being unkind and unjust.

But similarly, these incompetent barks gradually subsided.

The reason is simple, Cao An sent out his army.

The Jinwu Guards, the Imperial City Division, and the Six Gates were all dispatched, with nearly a thousand people, surrounding the post house.

Looking at the crowds of people outside the window, I am afraid that the two nearby streets are also filled with soldiers.

This posture is not to explain to them, but to kill people and silence them!

No matter how they negotiate terms with the Holy Spirit, they must still be able to get out of this room.

She Huai clutched his chest, suffocating in pain. The kick just now had already caused internal injuries to him.

Don’t you just want to go out for a walk? Is this wrong?

She Huai felt very aggrieved, because the assassination of Emperor Wan Jing had nothing to do with him, and being locked up here all the time was not an option!

I just babbled a few words to myself, never expecting that Cao An could be so cruel.

I can only compromise by saying, "We have something to talk about. If you want to investigate, I am willing to cooperate!"

The stupid snake who was unfamiliar with fighting was frightened again.

But Cao An's face was still full of coldness, and he didn't want to let this person go at all.

"You have something to say? Then tell me quickly. If you don't, you won't have a chance."

"What! No, no chance? What do you want?" "No idea, I am a kind person and I won't drag you to quarter."

She Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

"At most, it's a cut in half."

"What! Are you, are you crazy?"

Everyone was frightened by Cao An. Although She Huai was arrogant, he could only complain a few words. There was no need to be so ruthless. He was an envoy!
  The Imperial City Division doesn’t care?
  Everyone looked behind them. Pang Shi and Shi Xiaowei all stood still, as if Cao An's order was an imperial edict and no one could refute it.

"No! You can't do this. The diplomacy between the two countries and the envoy of Buza, you actually want to kill me for personal vendetta?"

"Stop pretending to be here. The prerequisite for not killing the envoy is that you can be an envoy in a safe and sound manner. But you assassinated my Emperor Daxing ten days ago. You should be executed for your crime!"

"No! I didn't assassinate him, I'm innocent! You can't slander me?"

"Slander? I have a witness who saw you secretly playing the flute and riding a snake after the meeting that night. You still want to deny it?"

She Huai's face turned pale. Cao An could point out his little moves so accurately. He must have been noticed.

But he just wanted to try and use the little snake to check the defenses of the side hall, hoping to find a loophole and continue to eavesdrop on the information.

"Those snakes can't assassinate the emperor at all!"

"Oh, when you lie, it is already a crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you think it is necessary for me to listen to your nonsense?"

"But I..."

"Come here, arrest all the envoys from the Viper Kingdom! Put them in prison and kill them!"

Directly sentence Qiu Hou to behead?
  Cao An's efficiency in handling cases was so fast that people were caught off guard.

Are you avenging a private vendetta? Or do you want to get someone to take the blame and close the case?
  No matter what, She Huai was frightened. When he saw the soldiers surrounding him, he shouted loudly: "I am unjust! You want to say that I did something strange that night, but they did too!"

"Oh? They have them too?"

"Yes! They also have evil intentions!" She Huai no longer cared about it and argued hard, even trying to drag people into trouble.

"That night I saw Fan Boxun, the envoy from the Northern Yan Kingdom, whispering to the imperial guards and sending a secret message. He was the one who assassinated him!"

When Fan Boxun heard this, he jumped up: "I'm just catching up on old times and delivering a message. I'm not as vicious as you. Besides, if I have a problem, the envoy of Fengyu State in Southern Chu will have a bigger problem."

"What! What does it have to do with me?" The fat envoy from Fengyu Country was also frightened and sweating profusely.

"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with it? When you went in, you were empty-handed. When you came out, you had a few strings of jewelry on your body. I'm afraid you took something along the way."

"You, you are so slanderous!"

"..."

The absurd farce began. He didn't know each other well when he asked, and he had hatred when he checked. Pang Shi cast an admiring look at Cao An.

Without the hesitation of the imperial court, Cao An directly used force to scare, and the result was much better than expected.

After reporting each other, no one was clean in the end, but we got a lot of information!
  Unfortunately, these are all irrelevant things.

After letting them quarrel for a while, Cao An felt that the time was ripe, so he walked over and grabbed She Huai.

"W-what are you going to do? I don't want to die! Let me go..."

boom!
  Cao An knocked this man unconscious with a knife. Thinking of the people behind him, he reluctantly explained: "I want to interrogate him alone, so you can just wait outside."

Everyone looked at the unconscious She Huai, and then at the figure that Cao An was dragging along: This man is already fainted, can he still be interrogated?
  Ignoring the chaotic situation behind him, Cao An entered the room, tossed the idiot away, walked straight to the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and moistened his throat.

Behind him, there was an empty room, and the door made a slight creaking sound, and for some unknown reason, it slowly closed.

The sunlight that shines into the room gradually becomes dim, as if the windows are covered with a dark shadow. The eerie feeling makes people can't help but send chills down their spines.

Darkness enveloped She Huai and gradually climbed onto Cao An's shoulders, as if a ghost was pressing on his back, trying to drag him into the darkness.
