Evergreen Immortal.

"Qintian Supervisor Si Chen and Fu Huan have met these two adults."

A young man in plain clothes and a white square crown bowed respectfully to Cao Wei and Chai Jin.

"Master Fu."

Cao Wei and Chai Jinggong also returned the gift.

Si Chen, the Imperial Supervisor of the Qin Dynasty, was a ninth-grade sesame official in the previous dynasty.

The fifth-level powerful people like Cao Wei and Chai Jingong would not even look at them.

But after the founding of the Yu State, the status of Qin Tianjian rose again and again, and his official position was mentioned again and again.

Si Chen, who was originally ninth grade, was suddenly promoted to sixth grade.

In the capital, a sixth-rank official is not considered a big official. After all, the third-rank official is everywhere. But if he goes to other states, he is a high official, and he comes with the emperor's order.

In a sense, they are imperial envoys. As local officials, Cao Wei and Chai Jinggong must be careful in handling them according to the rules.

Regardless of their rank, they should be treated well.

"I have been entrusted by the prison to assist you two in investigating Gao Zhen's case. I only hope that my little skills as a sorcerer can be of use."

Fu Huan was extremely humble.

Cao Wei looked at the young man.

"It's really irritating to compare people to each other."

Fu Huan looked like he was only in his early twenties, and his realm was only at the seventh level, and he was already at the sixth level.

Even military attachés are often of a lower rank because they have too much real power.

But Fu Huan was too young, and getting the sixth grade was too easy.

Not to mention that the Qin Tian Jian is more noble than the Ministry of Rites. This word "noble" is reflected in the official rank. He has little power, but his promotion speed is much faster than that of the officials of the six ministries.

What Fu Huan was talking about was an alchemist, not a Taoist priest.

Taoist priest is the title of Taoist disciples.

It is a title that only came into being after Li Daozu evolved Taoism.

The origin of the alchemist is even older.

It can even be traced back to ancient times, and can be understood as a group of people seeking immortality, so in calculation, the hermit sects in Wenxian Tower can be regarded as alchemists.

Alchemists are also Taoist priests.

There is no clear definition.

In the past, the Imperial Master was undoubtedly the leader of the alchemists in the world. Now that the master of Wenxian Tower has become the supervisor of the Qintian Prison, the alchemists are also becoming divided.

Cao Wei laughed and said, "Master Fu, there is no need to be too modest. Master Jianzheng's vision is not wrong."

"It's getting late today. Why don't we give Mr. Fu a break first and then talk about the case?"

Fu Huan came from Qintian Prison in the capital.

There should be no lack of etiquette for entertaining.

Whether others go or not is one thing, but whether you ask yourself is another.

If Fu Huan hadn't notified An Ning Guard in advance with a document, Cao Wei would have waited at the reception pavilion ten miles in advance as he had done to welcome Chai Jinggong before.

Qin Tianjian is a good member of Lin Dang.

But when it comes to each official, of course, it is impossible to say that the relationship was stalemate at the first meeting.

Not to mention that he hoped that Fu Huan's alchemy skills would really help the case.

Fu Huan shook his head: "Master Cao, let's take a look at the case first."

Cao Wei raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Chai Jinggong and then at Fu Huan.

He didn't expect to meet two workaholics for the first time today.

This was rare in the Yu State court.

Generally speaking, it is the normal procedure to go to the Jiaofang Office for three days of fun first and then talk about business.

"Master Fu is dedicated to serving the public, I admire him."

Cao Wei complimented.

Fu Huan said, "Mr. Cao, I wonder where Gao Zhen's residence is. Maybe I can find some clues using the aura method."

"I'll take Master Fu right away."

Cao Wei acted vigorously and immediately took Fu Huan to Gao Zhen's house.

Upon seeing this, Chai Jingong was also curious about Qin Tianjian's famous Qi-gazing technique, so he stopped looking at the file and followed the two of them out of the compound.

Gao Zhen's residence in An Ningwei is very close to the general's residence.

After a while.

The three of them came to a large house.

Wujin's house was empty, with no one around.

It turned out that all Gao Zhen's servants were controlled by Cao Wei at the first opportunity and put into prison.

Also interrogated.

But no one knew anything about Gao Zhen's whereabouts.

Because no one was living there, the house was already covered with a layer of dust.

Fu Huan looked at Cao Wei: "Master Cao, which room is Gao Zhen's room?"

"This room."

Cao Wei pointed to the largest room in the house.

"good."

Fu Huan nodded and walked into the room.

Under the curious gazes of Cao Wei and Chai Jingong, Fu Huan pinched the fingers of his left hand rapidly.

"Divination?"

Cao Wei took it seriously.

The most well-known thing about Qin Tianjian, besides formulating the calendar, is the art of divination.

Once upon a time, there was a generation of Qin Tianjian who observed the sky at night and found that it was the result of Yingzhuo guarding the heart.

With shocking deductions, we can conclude:

"Great chaos will arise, and trouble lies in the east."

Eight words.

The emperor was convinced of this and sent secret guards to the eastern states to investigate. Unexpectedly, he actually found out that Duke Xuan was plotting to rebel. Then the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress him in advance, thus avoiding a major chaos.

Since then, everyone in the world has known that Qin Tianjian has the ability to spy on heavenly secrets.

Fu Huan's fingers moved faster and faster, almost becoming a ghost.

The next moment.

He shouted loudly:

"rise!"

He saw a palm-sized compass slowly fly out of his arms.

Fu Huan looked at the rapidly rotating pointer on the compass.

There are words in his mouth.

"Xiu Sheng was injured and Du Jing died in shock."

soon.

The pointer on the compass stopped. Fu Huan looked at the pointer and sighed: "Death's door."

Cao Wei couldn't help but ask: "What's the explanation?"

Fu Huandao: "Gao Zhen is not missing, he is indeed dead."

Hear the words.

The last hope in Cao Wei's heart was completely shattered. If Gao Zhen was just missing, he would be safe and sound if he was found.

But now that Gao Zhen is really dead, he, the chief officer of An Ning Guard, cannot escape the blame.

Although he won't be demoted, it may be difficult to move the position of Admiral An Ningwei for many years.

"It's destined to be such a disaster."

Cao Wei sighed softly.

Official luck, official luck, why is it said to be luck?

Promotion is not just about luck.

Gao Zhen was a gold-plated dandy who originally had little to do with him, but he died on his watch. It was pure bad luck.

It can only be said that it was bad luck.

Cao Wei continued to ask: "Master Fu, can you figure out who the murderer is?"

If Fu Huan can directly figure out the murderer, then he can just lead the troops to arrest him.

Fu Huan shook his head.

"The secrets of heaven must not be leaked. My Taoism is shallow and my calculation of good and bad luck and life and death is already at my limit."

A flash of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Cao Wei and Chai Jinggong.

However, if you think about it, you will understand that if the Qintian Prison can directly count all the murderers, then all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment will be laid off en masse.

‘I heard that divination will shorten one’s life span, and one can only calculate a vague general direction, but not the details. If one tries to pry, one will be counterattacked by heaven, and one will die suddenly before the result can be told. ’

Cao Wei remembered the rumors he had heard when he was a member of the Ministry of War in Beijing.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Mr. Fu. I hope that Gao Zhen's death will not be reported to anyone for now."

He has always said that Gao Zhen is missing.

That's why Gao's reaction was not too big.

If the news of Gao Zhen's death spreads, not only the Gao family will be furious, but perhaps even Duke Wei will put pressure on him. It will not be so easy to investigate the case with peace of mind.

Fu Huan nodded:

"You two adults, don't worry."

Cao Wei: "It's getting late today. I'll take Mr. Fu to stay first. We'll discuss the case tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Li Zhai.

Li Rui sat cross-legged on the futon.

"Only when the dantian is filled with true energy can the energy be condensed into essence."

The sign of strong energy is filling the Dantian with true energy.

His current immortal energy is at most one-tenth the size of his dantian, and there is still a long way to go before he can fill his dantian.

"No rush, take your time."

He practices Chang Chun Kung, and his lifespan is longer than that of ordinary warriors. He still has at least a hundred years to live, so he has plenty of time.

It’s this elixir that I really don’t need to take.

Not long after Li Ruicai crossed the dragon gate, his immortal energy increased by more than 70% compared to when he first broke through.

This has something to do with martial arts and skills, but the most important thing is the elixir.

He had eaten all six Qi-Building Pills.

Of course the effect is good.

One Qi-Building Pill requires four great powers, and he only has two great powers in total. He can't afford even one Qi-Building Pill.

"It seems that we have to find a way to go out and earn more military merit."

Li Rui thought.

When he was in Liujin, he could rely on elixirs to search for elixirs and spiritual irons so that there was no shortage of elixirs, but after reaching the sixth level, there was not enough.

After all, the money you can earn simply by being a businessman is limited.

When it comes to making money, it has to be those big families.

Sect leaders and the like, they don’t have to do anything, and they can receive massive amounts of gold and silver elixirs every day.

It is countless times stronger than fighting alone.

If not, why would the great masters of martial arts have to work so hard to establish a sect? After all, it is not only the support of one sect that can provide them with the massive resources they need to practice martial arts.

Otherwise, it would just be a failure to pass down martial arts.

Unless it is so strong that it does not require external help, operating power is an essential step.

You see, even if you are an official, you must have your own private property.

Relying on that meager salary?

I'm afraid that even if I practice for a hundred years, I won't be able to break through.

Fortunately, there is a very direct way to obtain resources in the military, and that is to earn military merit. This is almost the fastest way for individuals to obtain resources.

Of course, the premise is that the strength must be strong enough.

While Li Rui was thinking.

Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Li Rui pushed open the courtyard door with doubts, and saw a strange young man in white standing at the door with a smile.

"Who are you?"

The young man in white said: "Qin Tianjian Si Chen, Fu Huan."

Qin Tianjian?

Li Rui was a little surprised.

He had heard that Qin Tian Jian was going to send people to Anning Guard, but he didn't expect that people from Qin Tian Jian would come directly to his door.

Qin Tianjian came to Anning Guard to investigate Gao Zhen.

I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Is it possible that Qin Tian Jian really has powerful means to find me?"

Although he was confused, his expression did not change at all.

"Master Fu, why do you want to see me so late?"

Fu Huan smiled even brighter:

"It's true."

As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms:

"I heard that senior likes to read books, so Senior Sister Yao specially asked me to send you this book."
