Evergreen Immortal.

Li Rui finally decided.

It's the immortal energy.

Wang Zhao slept with the Red Dragon Horse every night. By chance, the immortal energy connected with the Red Dragon Horse, allowing him to understand the horse's language.

"Junior brother, what a great skill!"

Liu Tiezhu gave Wang Zhao a thumbs up.

Being good at martial arts is of some use. Look at my little junior brother who understands horse language. Who in the world understands this?

So never underestimate any profession.

See, you can achieve great things by raising horses.

As the old saying goes, if you practice three hundred and sixty, you will be the number one scholar.

Yang Yong and Liang He noticed something unusual here and gathered around.

When they heard it, they were all amazed.

Wang Zhao scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Rui's eyes became even weirder.

Listen.

Perhaps his apprentice was crazy, but he would sleep in the stable instead of sleeping in a good bed late at night.

Perhaps it is this reason that creates the connection with the red dragon horse's aura.

"What an idiot."

Wang Zhao was born with a love for horses, otherwise it would have been impossible to do it just by relying on the immortal energy.

But it is this crazy energy that can produce this incredible change.

Sword Crazy and Sword Crazy have heard of it a lot, but this is the first time for Horse Crazy.

Li Rui chuckled and patted Wang Zhao on the shoulder:

"You will definitely become a great horse master in the future."

As the saying goes, interest is the greatest motivation.

Wang Zhao loves horses, has perseverance, and can now communicate with horses. These points alone are enough for him to become an excellent horse trainer.

If he can improve his martial arts in the future, he will become a great horse master.

Wang Zhao nodded seriously:

"Master, I will never disappoint you."

Looking at the three young men in front of him, Li Rui was even pleased.

It's good for everyone to go their own way, but if everyone is the same as a martial artist, that's boring.

Li Rui waved his hand:

"From now on Dahong will be your horse."

Hear the words.

Wang Zhao's eyes widened immediately: "Master."

Li Rui saw that Wang Zhao was almost moved to tears, and he laughed and cursed: "If you could become a great horse master, you would be more useful to me than a horse, and you have slept with him, how can I break you up? "

"."

"."

Liang He and Liu Tiezhu were speechless for a moment.

Although something sounds wrong, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Wang Zhao did sleep with Chi Longma.

This is true.

After a while, Wang Zhao thought about it in his heart and nodded firmly: "I will definitely not let down Master's expectations."

"That's right."

Li Rui laughed.

It's just a horse, there's nothing to be reluctant to part with it, not to mention it's not for others, but for my own apprentice.

Others are a man and a sword, but Wang Zhao is now the only one who is a man and a horse.

The red dragon horse itself has half the strength of a seventh-grade warrior. With Wang Zhao controlling it, it can match a seventh-grade warrior.

In Wang Zhao's hands, it is much more useful than simply being used as a mount.

And if Wang Zhao masters the art of horse control in the future, Li Rui will also be able to gain insights from the immortal energy in his body.

A win-win good thing, why not do it.

"Master Chai came all the way, hard work, hard work."

Beside the official road.

Yingchun Pavilion.

Cao Wei was talking to a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a blue official robe and a white coat.

Yingchun Pavilion, also known as Jieguan Pavilion, is a place specially set up to welcome distinguished guests.

Cao Wei met him at the reception pavilion ten miles in advance, which could be said to be a sufficient arrangement and also showed the importance of the other party.

It can be seen from the official robe of the middle-aged Confucian scholar that he is a civil servant of the fifth rank.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar also clasped his fists and returned the salute: "Master Cao, we have to say goodbye to each other in the capital. It has been five years since we saw you again. I feel so nostalgic."

Cao Wei laughed and said, "I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."

This official named Chai is Chai Jinggong, a doctor in the Yunzhou Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the past, when he was working as a foreign minister in the Ministry of War, Chai Jinggong went to Beijing to review his duties, and the two had met once.

The Criminal Department is one of the six departments and is responsible for hearing cases and implementing criminal laws.

Together with Dali Temple and Duchayuan, they are collectively known as the Three Law Divisions.

The so-called three-court joint trial refers to these three departments.

It's just that the three have their own division of labor. The Metropolitan Procuratorate's duty is to be a picket official. It also has the responsibility of supervising the trial of cases by the Criminal Department and does not directly participate in the trial of the case.

As for Dali Temple, although it also participated in the trial of the case, it focused more on reviewing the case after the Ministry of Punishments heard it.

The Ministry of Punishment has agencies stationed in every state of Yu State, namely the Qing Officials Department.

The chief official of the Qing Li Department was called Langzhong.

Chai Jingong waved his hand: "Brother Cao, it's still too early for this matter. You also know that His Majesty attaches great importance to Gao Zhen's case. Gao Shangshu even ordered us to solve the case as soon as possible. I was just standing in front of him. I heard that some time ago The great alchemist from Riqin Tianjian will also come."

Cao Wei heard this.

"Qin Tian Jian?"

Chai Jingong nodded: "Yes, I heard that the alchemist from Qintian Prison has promising skills, which may be helpful in solving the case."

Cao Wei's heart sank.

As he expected, Gao Zhen's death had a great impact.

Generally speaking, the Qintian Prison only obeys the emperor's orders. If the Qintian Prison is here, it means that His Majesty the Emperor has noticed this matter.

In the State of Yu, the things that the emperor cared about were big things.

It is no longer just the Gao family.

Chai Jingong gave a wry smile: "Brother Cao, let's discuss the case first and solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deliver."

Cao Wei nodded.

The man is dead and he must be held accountable.

A few days ago, he heard from his friends in Annan Town. After hearing this, General Xue was furious and scolded him a dozen times.

Who is the waste?

It's not just him, maybe there's Jiang Linxian as well.

If a person died in his jurisdiction, the case must be solved as soon as possible in order to make amends.

Say it.

Both of them had no intention of drinking anymore. Cao Wei simply mounted his horse and followed Chai Jingong straight to Anning Guard.

"This is."

"People from the Criminal Department?"

Some knowledgeable generals could tell at a glance that the riders following Cao Wei were from the Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Punishment.

Ge Hong and Li Rui also saw this scene.

Ge Hong said in surprise: "It seems that something happened to the person named Gao, otherwise the people from the Criminal Department would not have been alerted."

Everyone else nodded.

No need to think about it.

Looking at the post, you can see that all the doctors from the Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment are here. They are high-ranking officials of the fifth rank and are on the same level as Cao Wei. Of course, they can only come to An Ning Guard for the sake of high standards.

Wei Ming narrowed his eyes:

"It's Mr. Chai from the Criminal Justice Department. I met him before when I was in Yunzhou. I heard that he is very scheming and good at making decisions. He has solved many unsolved cases that have been suppressed for decades."

Ge Hong and Tan Hu were surprised:

"So powerful?"

Wei Ming nodded.

The State of Yu could rule for thousands of years, so its selection of people was naturally unique.

Mr. Chai can become the supervisor assigned by the Ministry of Punishment to preside over the punishment of a party, so he certainly has his own powerful methods.

Wei Ming remembered the rumors he heard in Yunzhou before:

"I heard that Mr. Chai's aura is that of a pig. He has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and can detect smells that ordinary people cannot."

"Pig shape?"

Hear the words.

Several people were dumbfounded.

It's really amazing that in this world, there are still people who gather their energy and turn into pigs.

Wei Ming also smiled happily: "The pig shape is not high in rank, but it advances very quickly. This Master Chai has some abilities. He has practiced to the sixth rank of Dragon Gate, and then he has solved crimes with the pig shape. His methods are valued by the bosses of the Criminal Department. "

Li Rui was surprised to hear this.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a useless spirit in this world, only useless people.

You see, Mr. Chai has become a fifth-grade official.

The official positions of military attachés of the Yu State generally correspond to their realms. For example, if Cao Wei is of the fifth rank, his official position is also of the fifth rank.

But civil servants are not so strict.

Although the higher the official position, the stronger the strength, but it does not mean that one has to reach the state to become an official.

That's why Mr. Chai was able to become a fifth-grade doctor of the Ministry of Punishment at the sixth-grade level.

"Pig shape."

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

General's Mansion, lobby.

"Brother Cao, are you saying that no one has seen Gao Zhen since he left the military camp?"

Chai Jinggong narrowed his eyes slightly after listening to Cao Wei's narration of the entire case.

"Um."

Cao Wei nodded.

Chai Jingong found something suspicious: "Since Gao Zhen said he was out on inspection, and it was daytime, I saw many caravans coming and going along the way, so no one should notice me."

"Unless...he wants to hide it on purpose."

Cao Wei sighed softly: "Brother Chai didn't know something. I felt the same way, so I sent people to investigate, but there were no clues. I couldn't figure out why Gao Zhen concealed his whereabouts and left the city alone."

Chai Jingong leaned back, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his nose twitched regularly.

Anyone who knows him well knows that this is his habitual action when analyzing cases.

Several subordinates from the Yunzhou Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment were waiting quietly. They had long been accustomed to it.

"There is no need to hide official matters from you, Mr. Cao, so it is most likely a private matter. Gao Zhen has not been in Qinghe for a long time. It should be a private matter that he has brought here since Lu Yang."

Cao Wei's eyes lit up.

This Chai Jinggong does have some abilities.

Just after hearing the case, he was able to quickly sort out and analyze this information, which is quite impressive.

"It seems that his ability to solve cases like a god depends on more than just a pig's nose."

When he was in the capital, he had already heard the name of Detective Chai Jingong.

If he didn't have this ability, how could Chai Jinggong, a third-grade Jinshi and a sixth-grade martial artist, be able to achieve the position of a fifth-grade doctor in the punishment department.

Cao Wei himself had achieved a breakthrough in his realm, and by chance, he met a nobleman from the Fifth Prince faction, so he was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank general.

"Then how will Master Chai solve the case?"

There are specialties in the art industry.

Since everyone from the Criminal Department is here, of course he just has to cooperate.

He and Chai Jingong have the same goal in solving the case.

Chai Jingong sighed softly: "We can only analyze the files first, and ask Master Cao to bring Gao Zhen's files and all the records since Gao Zhen came to An Ningwei."

Although he had some guesses, it was useless to rely solely on guesses. What His Majesty the Emperor wanted was evidence.

Is it possible that the dossier submitted when the case is closed should include speculation about low-level positions?

Therefore, we must start with the most basic dossier analysis. Don’t look at the vast dossier information that is fragmented and irregular.

But often the truth is hidden in this confusing information.

"check!"
