Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 250
"Since we cooperate, let's talk about cooperation." Yang Guozhong sat on the seat and said lightly: "Why didn't you tell me about the treasure?"

"This..." Liu Tong hesitated for a moment, and said, "The lower officials didn't know about this matter, and the lower officials didn't know about it until after it happened."

"Hmph, His Majesty has already sent someone to investigate this matter. You better understand that concealing the facts will not do us any good." Yang Guozhong said coldly.

"Why did His Majesty suddenly send someone to investigate this matter?" Liu Tong frowned and asked.

"King Jianning got a brocade box from Li Canghai. It is said that there is an elixir of immortality hidden in the brocade box. The box needs a key to open. In order to obtain the elixir of longevity, His Majesty decided to wipe out the 'Nilin Xuanwu'." Yang Guozhong Stroking his beard, he said with a half-smile.

"The brocade box? But the brocade box taken out from the Underworld Palace?" Liu Tong asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's this thing." Yang Guozhong picked up his teacup, took a sip casually, and replied flatly.

"No wonder I searched Liangxiu's and Di's mansions, but I didn't find the brocade box, so it fell into the hands of King Jianning." Liu Tong murmured a few times, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "I don't know who the Holy One sent to investigate this matter? "

"Li Canghai." Yang Guozhong said word by word.

Liu Tong's face instantly became ugly, "Li Canghai, why is this guy again?"

"The person I originally recommended was Master Liu, but King Jianning has been deliberately opposing me. It is because of his efforts to recommend that the Holy Majesty decided to use Li Canghai." Yang Guozhong's face sank like water, and he said coldly : "A mere little king dares to go against the truth, hum!"

Liu Tong's face became serious, he bowed his head and thought for a while, and said, "Master Xiangguo, Lord Lin needs to be notified of this matter immediately, and I'm taking my leave."

"Stop." Yang Guozhong stopped Liu Tong, and said calmly, "Truth has done his best for your affairs, and now it's your turn to share for Truth."

Liu Tong was a little stunned, he thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what orders Mr. Xiangguo has?"

"Tomorrow Anlushan will escort Wusumish Khan to Luoyang. Anlushan is ambitious, but His Majesty is blinded by him and cannot see his true face. Now that he leaves Fanyang, it is precisely to get rid of him This is the best time." Yang Guozhong did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "The truth will make him stay in Luoyang forever!"

Liu Tong nodded without any hesitation, and said, "Xiangguo, don't worry, since An Lushan came to Luoyang, this Luoyang is his burial place."

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and said, "There is one more thing. I want to see your master. Since we are in a cooperative relationship, he must show his sincerity accordingly. I don't want to be someone else's scapegoat."

"This..." Liu Tong hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will report this matter to Lord Lin, and after Lin Lord makes a decision, the next official will notify Xiangguo."

"It's better to be quick, the truth's patience is limited." Yang Guozhong snorted coldly.

Liu Tong nodded: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. There are too many people in the palace, and I can't stay here for long."

Yang Guozhong waved his hand: "If you come to report on your work, no one will doubt you. Go."

Liu Tong bowed slightly to Yang Guozhong, and then left the room.

After Liu Tong left, Yang Guozhong sat on the chair expressionlessly and began to meditate.

After a while, he suddenly got up and wrote a letter quickly, and said to the screen: "Xiao, send this letter to Nalanda Temple quickly."

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared, took the letter from Yang Guozhong, and disappeared in place without a sound.

When Luoyang City was in turmoil, the small Zhengyang County was also undercurrent.

After Kang Xu left the county office, he immediately realized that the left arm of the unknown corpse was seriously injured and could hardly be lifted, so he ordered people to search for clues of the disabled person in the whole city inn.

Although it is difficult to identify the disabled left arm hidden in the sleeve, but the elbow of the left arm of the unknown corpse bulges inward, but it is easy to identify.

It is impossible for a person not to eat, and people like Wuming Corpse must go to the inn. As long as he has appeared in the inn, there may be someone who remembers him.

In the teahouse in the west of the city, Kang Xu was holding the steamed stuffed bun with one hand, biting each bite, but his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, but his eyes were fixed on the city gate where people came and went.

About a quarter of an hour later, a fast horse came galloping from the city. Seeing this, Kang Xu walked over unhurriedly.

There was a neighing sound, and the horse's front hooves were instantly raised.

The man on the horse struggled to hold on to the rein in his hand, almost falling off.

"Master Li? Why are you here?" Tao Ruozhu jumped off the horse and asked with lingering fear.

If he hadn't discovered Kang Xu and reined in just in time, the horse's hooves would have stepped over him.

"Brother Tao, where are you going?" Kang Xu waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him.

"I heard that the Holy Majesty is coming to Luoyang, so I want to go to see the Holy Majesty, and report the disappearance of my teacher to the Holy Majesty." Tao Ruozhu replied honestly.

"Brother Tao, with all due respect, if you go to Luoyang like this, you will definitely be punished. Lord Shangshu is missing, and you and the people who accompanied you are to blame. What's more, you didn't even find out how Lord Shangshu disappeared, so you went to Luoyang like this , isn’t it just asking for trouble?” Kang Xu said seriously.

"This..." Tao Ruozhu hesitated a little. Kang Xu said that he had really thought about it. However, this matter is of great importance after all, how dare he conceal it and not report it?

"As I said, Lord Shangshu is probably still alive, but if you report this matter to the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will be furious and send officers and soldiers to search Zhengyang City. If you don't say anything like this, you will also place your lord in In danger." Kang Xu said seriously.

Tao Ruozhu was a little stunned, he was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "I don't understand your lord's meaning, if the Holy Majesty sends someone here, wouldn't it be easier to find a mentor?"

Kang Xu shook his head: "I said that Master Shang Shu probably fell into the hands of the villains. From the nameless corpse, it can be seen that the perpetrators were definitely not good people. Master Cui fell into the hands of the villains but did not do anything. It is probably because they did not I know the identity of Master Cui. If the identity of Master Cui is leaked, in order to clear the guilt, it is hard to say that he will kill him to silence him."

Tao Ruozhu suddenly felt a little thirsty. Although what Kang Xu said was only a possibility, it was not impossible for this possibility to happen.If it is really unfortunate that Kang Xu said that the villain killed his mentor and silenced him, then he would really become a sinner through the ages.

Kang Xu patted Tao Ruozhu on the shoulder. He is a Confucian scholar and a Bachelor of Arts. How does he know that people are sinister?The level of official position does not have a deterrent effect on everyone, and it may often have the opposite effect.
