Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 239 The Abyss

"Shi Chun has been complaining about Cao Ding's housekeeper," Ah Xiuzai said, "blaming him for killing Tie Jing.

"He said that their plan was flawless, even if they let us know that Tie Jing and Cao Ding had a deal, it's okay, we can't be sure of any connection between the two.

"But it's completely different if he kills Tie Jing rashly. In this way, we will instead focus on the relationship between Tie Jing and Cao Ding..."

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked again, "Where's the butler? What did he say?"

"The butler didn't make any excuses," recalled Ashio, "he just said that the overall situation is settled, and no one can stop them, and then... Then he mentioned Heavenly Tribulation, but because the voice was too low, I couldn't hear it clearly.

"Afterwards, I don't know which of them made the first move, but suddenly they fought and smashed through the gate, exposing me.

"When I saw it, Shi Chun had already been pierced by the sword, and then I fought with the housekeeper..."

"Ani," at this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly gestured to Ani, and said, "If you had come down earlier, maybe the situation would have been different!"

"Me?" Ani frowned, "What do you mean?"

"That butler's sword moves are fierce, just like yours!" Zhao Yu said shyly, "It's really fierce!"

"What?" Ani was more sensitive, and immediately asked with wide eyes, "Are you suspicious of me? Do you suspect that I have known the housekeeper?"

"I didn't say that." Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and took a step back.

"I think it's because you didn't get caught and you just wanted to find an excuse! Hmph!" Ani snorted coldly, obviously angry.

"Okay," Xu Zun stopped the conversation between the two of them, and said, "No wonder, this master craftsman, Shi Chun, would openly tell us about the relationship between Tie Jing and Cao Ding!
"The more you say it so naturally, the more we won't be suspicious. What this butler did is indeed unwise."

"Probably..." Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "Tie Jing and Dongfang Yaoluo were chatting in the living room, and as they were chatting, Tie Jing remembered that he had made a deal with Cao Ding, and from this he wondered if it would be a mystery The conspiracy hidden in those ancient maps...

"As a result, the butler, who is an undercover agent, became more and more frightened after listening to it, so he decided to assassinate Tie Jing and Dongfang Yaoyao on the spot!
"Look? Is my guess reasonable?"

Xu Zun nodded slightly, but doubts arose in his heart.

its not right?
Since it was murder to silence, why did the housekeeper only wound Dongfang Yaoluo after killing Tie Jing?

Shouldn't Dongfang Yaoluo be assassinated with a single sword?
call……

Thinking of this, Xu Zun was startled for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt unsure.

Because, the reason why the housekeeper seriously injured Dongfang Yaoluo might be that Dongfang Yaoluo had martial arts and he couldn't kill her easily.

That's why he used smoke that can cause people to become unconscious.

Maybe... the housekeeper knew that Dongfang Enchanting martial arts was not weak, so he seriously injured him first, and then killed Tie Jing.

And when he wanted to kill Dongfang Yaoyao again, he had already been discovered and had no choice but to escape?

Of course, there may be another even more terrifying possibility!

That is the Xuanmen's Heavenly Tribulation plan is about to start, he doesn't need to kill Dongfang Yaoluo at all, he only needs to be seriously injured and unconscious.

By the time Dongfang Enchanting woke up, it was already too late.

Gee...

The more Xu Zun thought about it, the more terrifying he became. The scene in front of him is enough to explain two things.

One is that Xuanmen really has a real plan for catastrophe!
The other is that they will probably act soon!

"My lord..." Li Xing said to Xu Zun after observing carefully for a long time, "You can see that the surface of this ditch is not smooth, and it seems to have trampled marks!"

Xu Zun bent down to look, and sure enough, he found some fresh imprints on the canal wall, as if someone had stepped on it.

"Perhaps..." Li Xing speculated, "They built a secret door here, which was used for rappelling before, right?

"Look!" he said, pointing to a protruding metal rod at the door, "this should be used for tying ropes, or for ladders.

"My lord!" He looked down and said excitedly, "Xuanmen rebels are probably hiding below!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yu was eager to try, "My lord, let's go down and have a look!"

"Okay!" Xu Zun also pretended to be excited and said to Zhao Yu, "Then you go down first!"

"Okay! Well... this..." Zhao Yu realized that he had no rope at all.

"My lord," said Ashio, "this matter is extremely urgent, we should inform the Inner Guard Mansion first! Oh..."

However, he saw that Ah Xiu Tsai was pale due to excessive blood loss, and looked extremely painful.

"That's right," Zhao Yu said, "God knows how many Xuanmen rebels are here? Let's send more people over here."

"Hmm..." Xu Zun nodded, and said worriedly, "I'm not afraid of crowds, but I'm afraid I won't find them!"

Xu Zun's words brought everyone back to reality. Now everyone knows that there are many ancient cities under Xuanmiao City, countless underground canals, and thousands of ravines. Even if they can lead troops down, how can they easily find people?
What's more, there is no rope hanging from the wall of the gully, which shows that the people below have no intention of returning to the same way.

Or maybe, this is just one of the many entrances and exits leading to the dungeon.

Xu Zun soon realized that the clues he had found now seemed important, but they might not really help him catch the Taoist rebellious party.

Therefore, if we really want to solve the problem, we must know where are those Taoist rebels?
And more importantly, what are they going to do?
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun ordered, "You take the two of you to stay here.

"Li Xing immediately prepares ropes and other supplies, and then prepares his manpower, and goes down first to find out the truth."

"Yes!" Li Xing agreed.

"Remember," Xu Zun urged, "when you see something bad, come up quickly, don't go deep blindly, in case you make a mistake."

"Yes!"

"Everyone else follow me back to the Neiwei Mansion!"

After Xu Zun gave the last order, he asked Ani to help Axiuzai, and was about to leave the secret room.

However, when Xu Zun was about to leave the bedroom, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

Hey?
He stopped immediately and took a closer look at the bedroom.

However, in addition to the bed, bedding and other things in the bedroom, there is actually a dressing table.

Rouge and other items were also placed on the dressing table, and the aroma was emitted from those items.

woman! ! ?

Xu Zun thought secretly, and suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be... this is the hiding place of one of the Taoist female assassins?
Could it be Cao Ding's wife?

call……

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Zun suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

Think about it carefully, Cao Ding's wife, housekeeper and subordinates are all Taoists, what does this mean?
It shows that Cao Ding is completely monitored by Xuanmen, and it also shows another crucial issue.

Cao Ding is very important to Xuanmen's Heavenly Tribulation!
To be more precise, the ancient maps in Cao Ding's hands are the most important. Only by uncovering the secrets of the ancient maps can we know what they are going to do...
