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

Chapter 46 Emperor Wan Jing’s plot
  Ying Huorong, the daughter of Ying Changfeng, the department's treasurer, is the treasure of the entire Tsing Yi Department.

Why are there so few people in the Tsing Yi Department?
  Because Ying Huorong's secrets must be kept, the selection of members within the agency is particularly stringent.

"But isn't your secret too obvious?" Cao An thought to himself, almost laughing.

He eats too much, has too much fighting power, and can even chat with the auspicious beast Zou Wu. Can you believe this?

Although Cao An didn't say anything, his heart was open. I'm afraid this person is related to the demon clan.

Thinking that Ying Huorong would get lost inexplicably, Cao An analyzed that the demon should not be Ying Huorong's body, but in her body.

It should be similar to the feeling of a portable grandpa who found something bad and deliberately covered her eyes.

I couldn't find Qiwenlou in the ghost market last time. I must have felt sorry for her because she was always working, so I deliberately prevented her from finding the location and promised her three days of indulgent play.

There is also the classmate who I have been pursuing for three years, but in the end I couldn't even remember his name. He must have discovered that this person had evil intentions and deliberately blocked his name.

Then he conveyed the concept of the demon clan's supremacy of force to Ying Huorong, and then he developed Ying Huorong's simple and rough character.

In addition, he has a great affection for Cao An, which matches the "Green Grassland Picture"; he also loves to eat roasted wings of phoenix birds, which also matches the fairy tale.

This so-called secret is not a secret in Cao An's opinion.

……

These words made the people in front of him fall silent.

It is true that as Ying Huorong grows older, there are more and more flaws in his body.

Especially in terms of combat power, at the age of 20, the strength of the fourth grade is the best in the entire Kyoto, as dazzling as a fire lotus, no one can suppress her blazing heat.

What's even more troublesome is that Cao An saw Ying Huorong's problem after only joining for a few days. Then the others...

"Others have naturally noticed it. You don't think that Pang Shi is a waste, do you? He is known to the Imperial City Director and a close associate of the Holy Emperor. He has no ability. How can he sit in this position?"

Cao An's analysis made everyone feel shocked again.

Pang Shi treated Cao An to delicious food and drinks when they met, and he was willing to help Cao An. This was indeed relying on his ability, but he was also getting closer to Ying Huorong.

All those who have made achievements are not that simple. They can pretend to be stupid, but you must never take others as stupid.

Pang Shi is well known to the Imperial City Director. It is very intriguing whether his current deliberate approach is his own wish or the arrangement of the royal family.

Liang Qifeng's horse face was still dark and gloomy, and he asked in a low voice: "Cao An, I really want to know, what do you think of Tinder?"

"She is a very nice person, very generous, and quite interesting. She has no shortcomings except for being noisy." Cao An's evaluation is similar to that of everyone in the Tsing Yi Department.

"But aren't you afraid of the demon inside her?"

"Demon? Are you scarier than humans?"

Cao An's rhetorical question gave everyone the most satisfactory answer.

The horror of monsters only exists among the people. The education that people have received since childhood is that monsters can eat people.

But when you really step into the official world, you will find that humans are more terrifying than monsters.

The mass graves south of Nanshan were man-made, but it was the auspicious beast Zou Wu who discovered this disaster.

It’s self-evident who is more terrifying.

"Regarding Tinder, it involves a past event. If the Master can find that place, everything will be settled. But before that, do you have any suggestions? Do you need to let Tinder temporarily avoid the edge?"

"Is it too late to avoid him now? Although Pang Shi is very smart, he is not necessarily an enemy."

"Tch, that's not possible. With his careless appearance, isn't he still here to pursue Tinder?"

……

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

Emperor Wan Jing clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the Daxing Jiangshan Map in front of him with deep eyes.

Perhaps for every emperor, longevity is their lifelong wish, but this pursuit seems a bit out of reach.

Turning his eyes, Emperor Wan Jing looked at the middle-aged man waiting in the room. "Pang Hong, how is your son doing lately?" Emperor Wan Jing asked.

The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, Quanzi is assisting the Tsing Yi Department in investigating the case. The progress is now good. The target has been targeted at the Ministry of Industry. The results will be available soon."

The identity of the middle-aged man is about to emerge, it is Pang Hong, Pang Shi's father.

As close associates of the royal family, the Pang family, both father and son, held important positions in the Imperial City Department and were deeply favored by the emperor. Although their official status was not high, they were treated with courtesy by everyone in the court, which was a great honor.

However, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. This imperial favor has gradually become too much for Pang Hong.

Emperor Wan Jing raised his teacup, gently cut away the vapor of tea, took a sip, and asked, "I'm asking about Pang Shi's marriage. How did it go?"

The emperor's intervention in the marriage affairs of his ministers may seem to many people to be a favor.

But this was like asking a common question, but it made Pang Hong sweat on his head and he had to lower his body lower: "The dog is naughty and has failed the emperor's favor. Although he has a slight friendship with Ying Huorong, it is far less than discussing marriage." Degree."

If Cao An were here, he would definitely scold Pang Shi for being shameless, eating royal food and falling in love under orders?

No wonder that boy has been running to the Tsing Yi Department every day recently. It seems that the investigation is part of the investigation, and more of it is to get close to Ying Huorong.

But even so, Emperor Wan Jing was still not satisfied.

"I have no patience to wait any longer. You can find a group of young people of the right age and pass on my instructions privately, saying: Anyone who can marry Ying Huorong will be given a third rank."

Third grade!

This is already higher than the Prince Consort!

"Your Majesty, you..." Pang Hong wanted to persuade him, but unfortunately when he raised his head, what he saw was Emperor Wan Jing's cold eyes, and a chill hit his heart.

In order to achieve his goal, has the Holy Spirit already risked everything?
  Pang Hong followed the order and exited the door, looking up at the gloomy sky. He was afraid that the Daxing Dynasty, which had been settled for a long time, would cause another storm.

……

In the Tsing Yi Department, Cao An rested for half a day and was forced to return to work.

There was no other way. News came from the outside that the matter of the human bottle had spread.

"There have been several auctions in the ghost market, but at that time they were all based on famous porcelain masters. The characters painted were lifelike, and they were indeed sought after."

"What's the price?"

"Each piece of porcelain costs about a thousand taels of silver."

After listening to Pang Shi's information, Cao An's frown deepened.

In this world where force is paramount, a piece of ornamental folk kiln porcelain can be sold for more than a thousand taels, which is already considered a very good price.

But this price is completely out of proportion to the investment.

Thinking about it, Ying Huorong put all the files compiled during the day in front of Cao An. They were all cases handled by the blue-clad detective who died violently three months before his death.

"You asked us to find out anything related to the Ministry of Industry. They're all here, but it doesn't seem like there's anything special. They're all just trivial matters."

As one of the six ministries, although the Ministry of Industry has little power in the court, it is still an official.

Compared to the extremely vicious gangsters in other cases, the Ministry of Works cases were at best minor cases involving warehouse thefts.

"No, these small cases are often the source of everything."

Cao An scanned around and quickly selected one of them: [A theft occurred in Xiunei's warehouse. After investigation, it was found that a guard had committed theft. After the investigation, he was sentenced to beheading. 】

Pang Shi, who was beside him, glanced at the files. Although he was curious about where Cao An's clues came from, it was good as long as he had a clue.

"Act now. I have already asked the Holy Order. Officials below the fifth rank can be taken down directly. No one dares to delay your handling of the case." Pang Shi showed his trump card. This case must be investigated to the end.

But Cao An looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "You rushed me in a hurry just now and went to ask for the Holy Oracle. What happened? Please explain clearly."

Pang Shi clenched his sword, and a trace of resentment flashed across his face: "The news just came that the prince-in-law went to the Yamen to claim the corpses, and one of them is his young master."

Cao An's pupils shrank. This case actually involves members of the royal family?
  Have those people gone crazy?
