Evergreen Immortal.

"Hey, why did he say what I said?"

Li Rui, who was hiding in the dark, hissed softly in his heart.

Yes.

The person standing in front of Chai Jinggong and speaking was not him.

In other words, it might have been him originally, but someone else beat him to it.

Ever since he heard the news from Fu Huan, he had been squatting in the military camp every night, monitoring every move of everyone in the Criminal Department.

Chai Jingong's actions tonight all happened under his nose.

If he wasn't worried about Chai Jinggong's pig nose, he could even follow him even closer.

no way.

Chai Jinggong is really awesome.

There were almost no clues, but the scene was still found by Chai Jinggong.

This is where he killed Gao Zhen, and Chai Jingong almost touched the truth of the matter.

Of course Li Rui couldn't let such a thing happen.

Since the problem cannot be solved, we can only solve the person who raised the problem.

Chai Jingong is only at the sixth level, and he is still in useless form, so he should be easy to kill.

Li Rui quietly put away the Tibetan Feng that had been unsheathed for a few inches.

He chose to wait and see.

Not far away.

Chai Jingong looked at the strange masked man in front of him warily. The terrifying aura on his body made him dare not act rashly.

"Oops!"

His face became extremely ugly.

Sometimes he is so focused on the case that he forgets that his actual strength is only level 6, but not level 5 like his official position.

After all, he is just a criminal official investigating the case, not a military commander.

In fact, he was already on guard.

Chai Jingong thought he was cautious enough.

He confirmed several times that no one was following him.

Unexpectedly, even though the mantis was chasing the cicada and the oriole was behind it, it was still blocked in the forest.

There is no village in front of here and no store in back.

Even if he yelled at the top of his lungs, Cao Wei and Jiang Linxian couldn't hear him.

Even if he could hear it, he would definitely be dead by the time he got here. His fate would be exactly the same as Gao Zhen's, and the next person from the Punishment Department might not be able to find this place.

"Calm, calm, and a turnaround."

Chai Jingong swallowed hard with his dry throat.

The person in front of him could follow him without him noticing, so his strength must be far greater than his.

You will definitely not be able to get through by force.

He has the shape of a pig and is good at solving crimes, but compared to fighting, he is almost at the bottom of the sixth rank.

"This person didn't kill me directly, which proves that at least he doesn't want to kill me now."

Chai Jingong finally plucked up the courage to look into the eyes of the masked man.

In the face of life and death, everyone is actually the same.

He forced himself to stay calm, his brain was spinning rapidly, and when the two were confronting each other, he said something shocking: "Are you from Duke Wei?"

As soon as these words came out.

Even Li Rui, who was hiding in the dark, shrank his pupils.

Surprise also flashed in the masked man's eyes, and then he chuckled:

"He is quite a smart man."

As he said that, he actually pulled off the towel from his face.

Chai Jingong wanted to stretch out his hand to stop him, but the man's movements were too fast and there was no time.

I still saw the man’s true appearance.

Chai Jingong's face instantly became extremely ugly. After a long time, he sighed softly: "So Duke Wei is going to kill me to silence me?"

He is an investigator of the Criminal Department.

Very clear about the psychology of criminals.

Many times, murder does not occur during a meeting, but when the identity of the other person is revealed.

His identity is known, so if he doesn't kill him, why should he keep it to avenge himself later?

He revealed the other party's identity just to scare him, but he didn't really want to know the other party's specific identity.

Appreciation showed in the man's eyes:

"You're a very good boy, you can actually guess my origin."

He grinned: "Since you have seen my face, let's get straight to the point. I will give you two ways. One, die."

Chai Jinggong was not even interested in hearing the first point.

Because this is all used to scare people, a common tactic used by gangsters.

He had pricked up his ears and was ready to listen.

The man's mouth curved even further: "Second, leave everything to the Guiming Cult, and then take this pill. As long as you don't tell the truth, you won't die."

Said.

The man took out a small, dark, round pill about the size of his thumb from his arms.

"really."

There was a trace of bitterness on the corner of Chai Jinggong's mouth.

In the face of life and death, how do you choose?

No choice.

In fact, as long as the man in front of him didn't bring up anything that would involve the nine tribes, such as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he would agree without hesitation.

He is obsessed with solving crimes.

That is to know the truth. Now that the truth has been solved, there is no need to seek justice.

Nothing is more important than life.

Moreover, Duke Wei Guo has already taken action, so this kind of justice cannot be served by him as a small-time criminal doctor.

"Okay, I'll eat."

Chai Jingong was quite decisive. He grabbed the elixir almost as soon as the man finished speaking and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Even on the scene.

It's because he is more afraid of men regretting it.

The man's face was even more astonished and he smiled more: "Interesting guy, I can't bear to kill you. Why don't you join the Duke's Mansion and I'll give you the antidote."

What he didn't expect was.

This time Chai Jingong chose to refuse firmly: "The threshold for Wei Guogong's mansion is too high, and the young one is not worthy."

The man felt a little sorry.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

After hearing the man's words, Chai Jingong breathed a sigh of relief.

Saw the man slowly disappearing into the night.

His legs softened, and he leaned against the tree trunk and sat on the ground.

A full quarter of an hour later.

Chai Jingong finally smiled bitterly.

"It was a close call, I almost died."

He had been handling cases for many years and had experienced many dangers, but most of them were controllable.

After all, there were not many people in the court who dared to kill him.

This also cultivated his habit of risking his life to solve cases.

A very bad habit.

"This habit must be changed in the future!"

Chai Jingong made up his mind secretly.

He had an eighty-year-old mother above him, a beautiful wife in the middle, and three sons and four daughters below.

But he must not die.

For a case that had nothing to do with him, his wife remarried and his son called someone else dad.

It was painful to think about it.

He was almost certain that if he hadn't revealed his identity as a man tonight, he would probably have been dead.

The Duke of Wei just didn't participate in politics.

But the power of the previous dynasty was not bad in the State of Yu.

Killing him, a small sixth-rank official, couldn't be easier.

Even the Gao family would turn a blind eye to this matter for the sake of the overall situation.

He was just a small official, why did he sacrifice his life for his cause?

He was not sacrificing his life for his cause.

"It should be that Gao Zhen was secretly communicating with the Ghost Sect, and the Duke of Weiguo found out and sent a master to kill Gao Zhen to avoid getting into trouble. Yes, that must be it."

An analysis of the whole case emerged in Chai Jingong's mind involuntarily.

If the person who killed Gao Zhen was the Duke of Weiguo, then everything would be clear.

The process was dangerous, but the feeling of solving the case made Chai Jingong feel numb all over, and it was this feeling that made him unable to stop.

Maybe he would dare to do it next time?

Snap!

Chai Jingong slapped himself hard.

He must put an end to such terrible thoughts in the future.

If he encounters this situation again, he may not be so lucky.

He felt that he had regained strength and hurriedly got up.

Go down the mountain.

The forest returned to silence again.

Li Rui's eyes became strange.

"Duke Weiguo"

He heard the conversation between the two just now clearly. Perhaps the man in the Duke Weiguo's mansion did not expect that there was actually an old shaman like him.

Duke Weiguo's intervention probably made Chai Jingong think that everything was done by Duke Weiguo.

He was actually cleared of suspicion by mistake.

No need to think, it will be announced to the world soon.

Gao Zhen was killed by the Ghost Cult.

He no longer has to worry about this matter.

"But why did Duke Weiguo intervene in this matter?"

Li Rui knew it very well.

Gao Zhen died in his hands. Duke Weiguo had almost nothing to do with this matter, but he had to forcibly interrupt everything at this time.

Soon, a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"Duke Weiguo also secretly communicated with the Ghost Cult!"

In fact, Duke Weiguo was a surrendered old man of the previous dynasty, and the Ghost Cult was a defeated old man of the previous dynasty who fled south.

It is not surprising that the two of them have a connection, as for what the connection is between Gao Zhen and Duke Weiguo.

"Chaos, chaos, chaos."

Li Rui rubbed his temples.

Dayu looks prosperous on the surface, but there are many things in the dark.

He stayed there until the sky was a little light.

After making sure that there were no like-minded people, he went down the mountain and returned to the military camp.

Five days later.

Chai Jingong found Cao Wei:

"General Cao is as good as a god. The one who killed Gao Zhen is indeed the Ghost Sect. This is the sorted file, and there is evidence."

Cao Wei looked at the thick stack of files in Chai Jingong's hand.

He smiled from ear to ear.

He thought to himself that this Lord Chai was really smart.

'That's right, is the truth important? '

'Not important at all! '

He opened the file and saw that it was densely written with nearly tens of thousands of words. The evidence was detailed and the regulations were clear. There was nothing wrong with it.

"Lord Chai is really good at doing things."

Cao Wei praised sincerely.

With this file and evidence, handing it over to General Xue and the court will definitely satisfy those bigwigs.

At least it can reduce the crime to a minor one and keep the official position.

Chai Jingong:

"Thanks to Lord Cao's help these days, I remember when I first came here, Lord Cao said that I would not leave until I was drunk?"

Then he showed a smile that only men can understand.

Cao Wei raised his eyebrows. He usually saw Chai Jingong as an upright and honest official, but he didn't expect that he was also an interesting person.

"Of course, I can't forget it."

That night.

The Jiaofangsi received another big order.

The next day.

Chai Jingong took the Ministry of Justice to Yunzhou to report.

Fu Huan also left Qinghe and returned to the capital on the same day.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Li Rui's mansion.

The line of the Imperial Observatory was tied by Li Rui in this way.

The matter was perfectly resolved. At least on the surface, it was perfect.

The Annan Army was satisfied, the Ministry of Justice was satisfied, the Duke of Weiguo was satisfied, and the Gao family was probably satisfied.

As for the Ghost Sect, no one in Yu State cared whether they were satisfied or not.

Everyone was happy.

Li Rui was still the same since he returned to the barracks from the mountains.

No one could see anything unusual.

That day.

Late at night.

He sat cross-legged on the futon in the room.

Suddenly!

Lines of small words appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - immovable as a mountain. ]
