Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 229 Ranking
The Holy City Mysterious City.

After noon, Xu Zun came out from Liang Guogong Xue Guihua's mansion to investigate the case, and sat in the carriage thinking.

Liang Guogong's mansion is much more luxurious than the ones I have seen before, and Cao Ding's house is much more luxurious.

There are many houses in the mansion, and there are many corridors. If no one guides you, you may even get lost.

Xue Guihua also had quite a few guards around him, some of whom were agile and powerful.

Because of this, after stabbing Xue Guihua to death, Xue Guihua's concubine did not escape, but was forced into a corner by these guards, and committed suicide on the spot when she saw no way out.

Therefore, the assassin's body was also shelved in the mansion, and Xu Zun conducted a simple autopsy on it.

After some investigation, Xu Zun also got some different doubts from before.

First of all, they did not find the mysterious mark at the scene of the assassination.

On the day of the crime, after having lunch, Xue Guihua and his concubine went back to the bedroom to rest, and then the concubine was able to assassinate.

It's a pity that several of Xue Guihua's attendants happened to pass by the door and noticed something was wrong, so they didn't let this concubine escape.

Xu Zun and Ani searched the house for a long time, but did not find that strange mark.

Secondly, the concubine cut her throat with a dagger and killed herself.

While this may seem normal, it contains important information.

According to what Ani said, Taoist sects have arranged deadly poisons for assassins, and once they are exposed, they will swallow the medicine and die to prevent being captured and leaking secrets.

When Ani herself was captured, she had already taken out the pills, but it was a pity that Huo Anu, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, knocked them out and stopped them in time.

However, this concubine did not carry this kind of poison on her body, but chose to kill herself, which seems unreasonable...

"My lord, my lord..." At this moment, Zhao Yu entered the compartment with the curtain drawn up, and reported to Xu Zunhui, "People in the Neiwei Mansion said that all the Taoist materials you want are with Bi Sheng, the leader of Zuoge.

"They said... Bi Geling has a rule that no information can be shown, so... if you want to see it, you have to go there in person..."

Ok……

Xu Zun nodded slightly, this was one of the conditions he asked Lin Chaofeng.

Since we want to catch the Taoism against the party, we must understand the ins and outs of the Taoism.So Xu Zun wanted Lin Chaofeng to provide him with detailed information, including the origin of the Taoist sect, the rebel members captured in these years, and interrogation records, etc...

Lin Chaofeng naturally agreed, but she didn't expect to have to come to check.

"Okay," Xu Zun nodded, "I see, I will go over to the crime scene after investigating these crime scenes."

"My lord..." Unexpectedly, Ashio came in through the curtain again, holding a stack of documents and said to Xu Zun, "My lord, these are the details of the assassination incident compiled by the inner guard, and they are all in place."

"it is good!"

Xu Zun wanted to come to these materials because he didn't want to waste time on the road, he had to use the fastest speed to understand the situation.

"My lord," Ashius put down the materials and asked, "Whose house shall we go to next? This place is closer to Dali Temple Minister Liu Jin's house."

"Okay," Xu Zun agreed, "then go to his house first."

"Yes!" Ashio exited the carriage and went to inform the driver.

At this moment, two girls, Huo Anu and A Ni, were sitting in the carriage. After the torment last night, the two girls were also quite tired, and they were leaning on the backrests and closing their eyes to rest their minds.

However, Zhao Yu was still in high spirits, and after the carriage started, he whispered in Xu Zun's ear:

"The supervisory censor of Dali Temple, isn't that Li Jinlou's position? A fifth-rank officer, right?" He pinched his fingers and said, "The Shenlong catcher is very powerful. To tell you the truth, I used to be a I heard about it when I was in the Zhao family.

"It is said that the Dragon Catchers are the top experts of the God Catcher Division, and they are responsible for arresting those martial arts thieves, so they often come to our Zhao family to buy news, hehe..."

Seeing that Xu Zun was concentrating on checking the information, Zhao Yu smiled as if he was making fun of himself, and sat down beside Xu Zun.

"Then..." Who knows, Xu Zun looked at the information, but asked, "Where's the investigator of the special case of the Neiwei Mansion?"

"Hey, I was just about to say it!" Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this name, and I want to ask you how many grades you are an official?"

"Anuqie," Unexpectedly, Huo Anu in the depths of the carriage suddenly said, "There are still six and a half days left in seven days, don't care about the case, but think about the official position."

"Hey?" Xu Zun pressed the file and asked, "I just remembered, among these victims, who has the most official position and who has the least official position?"

"This..." Zhao Yu and the others naturally couldn't say it.

Xu Zun quickly looked through the information, and the one with the highest official position was undoubtedly Liang Guogong Xue Guihua who had just checked.

Guogong is a first-rank member of Daxuan, with the highest natural rank.

As for who is the youngest...

Xu Zun checked for a while, and found that the Prison Envoy of the Holy Capital, the Transit Envoy of the Holy Capital, and the Supervising Censor were all lower ranks, all of whom were fifth-rank officials.

It's just that although these three official positions are slightly lower, they are all veritable fat jobs. Generally, it is absolutely difficult for those without a strong background to take up this position.

Wait...it seems...there's an even smaller one.

Xu Zun turned to the back of the file and read out a name: "The Imperial Physician Xu Chi... Tsk tsk, what kind of official is this imperial physician?"

"Um……"

As a result, Zhao Yu and others stared with wide eyes.

"There are many types of imperial physicians," said Ani, "they also have different levels, right?"

"Ah Xiu!" Xu Zun raised the curtain of the car and asked loudly, "How high is the imperial physician Xu Chi?"

"Fifth Grade," Ashio's answer came from outside, "Xu Chi is a suggestion from the Imperial Hospital, from the fifth grade!"

The point of the Imperial Hospital is that it is the largest official of the Imperial Hospital, which means that Xu Chi is the head of the Imperial Physician.

But even if it is so, it must be ranked behind the prison warden and the other three, and it is the smallest one among the victims of this assassination!
Xu Chi...

Imperial Physician...

Xu Zun recalled what Lin Chaofeng said before, among all the victims, only this doctor Xu and the Queen Mother had no feuds.

Not only was there no festival, but the relationship was very good and won the trust of the queen mother.

So... Xuanmen chooses to assassinate him, is there any purpose?

seem……

Among all the victims, only this imperial doctor Xu was able to enter the Wanfu Palace and get in touch with the Queen Mother at close range, right?

Gee...

The more Xu Zun thought about it, the more he felt that there was something suspicious here, so he opened the file, wanting to see the circumstances of Xu Chi's murder.

But at this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Liu Dong's voice came from outside:

"Sir, here we are!"

Ok……

Xu Zun had no choice but to temporarily put down the materials and get off the carriage.

But seeing a large courtyard with high walls suddenly appeared in front of him, and two stone lions stood at the gate of the courtyard. The stone lions have lost their luster after experiencing many winds and rains.

"Is this Liu Jin's home?" Xu Zun asked everyone.

"Yes, my lord." When Axiu replied, there was a slight strangeness on his face.

Xu Zun didn't notice it at first, but after he walked a few steps forward, he found Hou Zhen and others lined up on both sides, and he didn't rush to open the door.

This……

Suddenly... A familiar memory surged in his mind, Xu Zun came to his senses, pointed at the door and said in surprise:

"This...isn't this my home?"

……
