Please calm down your anger

Chapter 387 God's capital cloud is treacherous, the assassin's case is in the case

The cell was dark and cold, and the torches flickered.

In the corridor, the thick bluestone walls were inlaid with copper talismans, exuding a suppressed and chilling breath, and behind the black iron gates, there was a faint sound of painful groans.

Several head arresters from the Ministry of Criminal Justice walked in quickly, the leader with a sick look on his face, it was the head arrester Qin whom Wang Xuan had seen at the Dead Man's Gap.

"Cough cough..."

Qin Tutou stopped suddenly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then opened it to see that it was covered with blood.

"Qintou, are you okay?"

A few head catchers next to him asked with worried faces.

Qin Catcher shook his head, put away his handkerchief, and said hoarsely, "It's okay, the lung meridian has been injured by practicing, and it's an old problem."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the iron gate ahead, "Open!"

squeak~
Accompanied by the sound of teeth grinding, the heavy iron door was opened by the arrester, and an old man inside was wearing an officer's uniform, his hair was loose, and his hands and feet were tied to the wall by iron chains.

It was Zhao Sicheng, a merchant in Shendu, who was former Captain Zhao.

"My lord, this old man was wronged!"

Seeing someone coming in, Zhao Sicheng struggled quickly, the iron chain rattled, although he was in a mess, he was full of energy and was not injured.

Qin Tutou frowned, turned his head to look at the prisoner next to him, and said hoarsely: "Putting people into death row, and still fighting like this, who told you to do this?"

The head of the cell hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's Master Tuoba, he said that it's related to the Southern Jin Dynasty and should not be locked in an ordinary cell."

Qin Butou glanced lightly, "There are some things that we can't get involved in, so don't be treated as a knife."

The cell leader was sweating, and he didn't dare to speak.

Qin Butou shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhao Sicheng, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't panic, Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm here to ask again about your son-in-law's background."

Zhao Sicheng swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "The old man lost his official position in Bingzhou. Since he came to Shendu, he has been cautious and never dared to provoke disputes."

"The man's name is Qi Luochuan, and he met Li Shilang in the Ministry of Industry. According to him, he is a child of a poor family in Haizhou, and he came to God's City to find a future."

"That Qi Luochuan is good at making incense. The old man saw that Lie Xin was happy, so he hired him as an offering. The business in the store immediately improved a lot. He is polite, knowledgeable, and my daughter likes it very much. The old man recruited him as his son-in-law. Who would have thought It's a traitor from the Southern Jin Dynasty..."

Speaking of this, he said with a mournful face: "I dare not hide anything, I am really wronged!"

"Li Xuan from the Ministry of Industry..."

Qin Butou was thoughtful, then nodded and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Zhao, let's go."

After all, he wants to take people away.

Zhao Sicheng became anxious when he saw it, "Hey, my lord, don't go..."

Qin Butou turned around, hesitated for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't panic, Shopkeeper Zhao, Lord Bingzhou has arrived in Shendu today."

After finishing speaking, he closed the iron door and left quickly.

In the darkness, Zhao Sicheng heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said with a wry smile: "I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have come to Shendu..."

……

Mingshanfang, the old residence of Mo Mansion.

"Southern Jin Assassins..."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhongmou's eyes narrowed slightly, "No accident happened before, but it happened at this time, could it be aimed at adults?"

Wang Xuan pondered for a while, "Zhao Shibo married his daughter last year. At that time, I was still developing wasteland and had no time to take care of him, so I had to send someone to send a congratulatory gift."

"At that time, Yong'an didn't attract much attention. It shouldn't be arranged in advance, maybe it's just Zhao Shibo's unlucky years... What is the current situation of this case?"

Mo Xunchu, a member of the Mo family, wondered: "Young master, I have just come to God City not long ago, and I haven't established a relationship yet, and I don't have any acquaintances in the Ministry of Punishment."

Guo Luquan next to him suddenly sneered and said, "You guys, are you treating this old man like air?"

"Most of my Yin sect disciples work in the imperial court. If it is the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, there is really no way, but the Ministry of Punishment has gathered masters from the public sect, and the old man's words are still very useful."

Xiao Zhongmou laughed and said: "That's right, I heard that when the Emperor Sect is established in the future, the Gongmen inheritance will also be included in it. With Guo Lao's current status, it will naturally be easy."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Old Guo."

Guo Luquan laughed, "It doesn't need to be the relationship between you and me, but Captain Zhao is really unlucky. The last time Fucheng rescued him, now the gods have come out again. We need someone to go to the house to check Fengshui."

"Wait!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and strode away.

Watching the other party's figure disappear into the snowy night, Wang Xuan touched Ah Fu's head, and suddenly turned his head thoughtfully, looking at the night sky on the left.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

"Someone just cast a spell to peep..."

……

Dongcheng, Xiuyifang.

The candles in the dark room emit green light, and a one-eyed old man sits cross-legged, with a copper basin placed in the altar in front of him.

In the copper basin, the clear water quickly became dirty.

"What a powerful spiritual sense!"

The one-eyed old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "The old man just glanced at it, and was detected by the other party's spirit dog."

After all, with a wave of his hand, the originally emerald green candle light returned to normal, and the dark room became bright.

There were several people standing around, if Wang Xuan was present, one would find two acquaintances among them, Shangguan Qiu of Tongzhou, and Sima Wei of Huaizhou, the remaining few people also had extraordinary faces and deep breaths.

"You guys are too careful..."

A middle-aged man with a handsome face played with the jade fan in his hand, "Although Wang Xuan has a great reputation, his foundation is shallow."

"The Taotie Nine Route Army, the Luo family united with the southern states, at least they can get the Three Route Army horses, our family must have two routes, the combination of the two parties, isn't it up to us to decide?"

Shangguan Qiu glanced coldly, "Brother Qiu, don't be careless. I have dealt with Wang Xuan before. He is a man with deep plans and ruthless methods. He is not an easy person."

"The news has come from the mountain city that Xumizong will not stop supporting us. The Zhang family in Lingzhou is bound by the Shanhai Academy and has refused to join. There are also people from the Luo family who have a lot to do with the Southern Jin Dynasty. Disasters will happen in the future. Don't be close friends. We can only find a way by ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked to the side: "Brother Tuoba, I heard that you let the children of the clan take action and put Zhao Sicheng in death row?"

"We are an offensive and defensive alliance, why don't we say it?"

A man with profound facial features and double pupils glanced sideways, and said coldly, "I'm not an idiot, how can I use such infamous means, it's useless except disgusting people."

"There are other reasons for this matter. Li Xuan of the Ministry of Industry is from the Diyuan Sect. The Diyuan Sect and my Tuoba family are both in Zhangzhou. We don't see each other when we look up and we see each other when we look down. The relationship is not bad."

"A few days ago, there were rumors that Emperor Wei You appeared in the Forbidden Palace of Eternal Life. In order to deal with it together, our two families have reached a cooperation."

"The dead minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xuan, came from the Diyuan Sect. It can be said that the Diyuan Sect was talking about it in the court. Naturally, when this happened, the Diyuan Sect would not let it go. They were afraid that Wang Xuan would take advantage of the power of the prince to win people, so he entrusted I got the Tuoba family to take action."

Speaking of this, there was gloating in his eyes, "Then it is a fact that Zhao Sicheng's son-in-law is a Southern Jin spy, and he has hidden somewhere. If Wang Xuan wants to catch someone, he will have to find a Southern Jin assassin."

"If he goes around hunting for people, then he will definitely turn against the Diyuan Sect. We can also take the opportunity to publicize this matter and use our own selfishness to destroy the law. Even if he joins the gluttonous army, how can we convince the crowd?"

Shangguan Qiu's eyes lit up, "Brother Tuoba is very calculating."

"Not always!"

The handsome middle-aged man who spoke just now sneered and said: "If someone finds the assassin, not only will he have an account with the Diyuan Sect, but his reputation will also increase greatly. Don't forget, the first battle of Wang Xuan's fame saved his uncle."

"Huh, Bingzhou Capital City came once, and Shendu came again. Could it be that you know the truth, I feel that these two are acting..."

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately laughed secretly.

Shangguan Qiu glanced at it, his expression worried.

The handsome middle-aged man who spoke was Qiu Yin, a member of the Qiu family in Luzhou. He looked like a good-looking talent, but he was actually lustful and joking, but he was good at morals, so he was sent by the Qiu family.

Luzhou is located in the south of Zhangzhi. Although it is not as good as Tongzhou, it is still an important water and land route in the middle of the country. If he had to unite several families, he would not bother to associate with such people.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Shangguan Qiu's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then let him never find it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked different.

Shangguan Qiu's intention was very clear, to find the Southern Jin assassin first and kill him, so as to turn the case into a non-existent one.

It's just killing someone, it's still a Southern Jin assassin, everyone naturally doesn't care, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, if you do this, you will form a death feud with Wang Xuan.

What they want is to reap benefits, not to cause trouble.

Seeing that no one agreed, Shangguan Qiu looked a little embarrassed. He turned his head and saw Sima Wei who was wearing a red robe and drinking lazily. His eyes moved and he asked, "What do you think of Miss Sima?"

Sima Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Seniors are so clever, how dare I, this junior, talk too much."

Shangguan Qiu smiled and said: "This statement is wrong. Huaizhou is adjacent to Bingzhou. Miss Sima is one of the two prides. She is extremely intelligent and has dealt with Wang Xuan. She must have a clever strategy."

Seeing everyone's eyes, Sima Wei glanced lightly, "Anyway, I won't mess with that fierce tiger, why do you think the impermanent old ghost of the Wei family retreated, that guy wanted to dismember the Wei family at that time, he was crazy but dared to do anything! "

Shangguan Qiu's face turned ugly, "Then what are you talking about, I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, why should we fight!"

There was a trace of disdain in Sima Wei's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, "We don't need to do anything, just tell the Luo family about this matter in secret."

Shangguan Qiu's eyes froze, "Borrowing a knife to kill people, wonderful!"

Sima Wei stared at the wine glass in her hand with a calm expression: "Killing people with a knife is a trick, and conspiracy is the best strategy. At the same time, we also need to inform Wang Xuan of this matter."

"We don't help each other... sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

The night was darker, and the lanterns swayed slightly in the snow.

Dongcheng Xiuyifang, two figures left, one in front and one behind, carefully avoiding the cavalry army, one went to the Luojia Haizhou Chamber of Commerce in the North City, and the other headed towards Mingshanfang...

……

At the same time, the old house of the Mo family in Mingshanfang.

"Old Guo is back!"

Mo Xunchu reported in a hurry, Wang Xuan and Xiao Zhongmou rushed out to meet him.

Xiao Zhongmou looked a little surprised, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the Emperor's sect should not be underestimated in the future, it moved so fast."

Just as he was speaking, Guo Luquan came in from the front yard, Zhen Qi shook off the snow on his body, and said to Wang Xuan in a deep voice: "Something is not good, the assassin is indeed from the Southern Jin Dynasty, and Captain Zhao may not be able to escape the responsibility."

"It just so happens that Mr. Liu Jindao's eldest apprentice is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This case will be handled by him. You can ask any questions you have."

After finishing speaking, a person appeared behind him, bowed his hands deeply to Wang Xuan, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Wang, we meet again."

"Captain Qin?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Wang Xuan's eyes, "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be a disciple of Senior Liu Jindao."

Liu Jindao is a senior of Bingzhou Gongmen, with high morals and high prestige, Fucheng Shi helped him out.

Qin Butou shook his head slightly, "Master, the old man often writes about Mr. Wang in letters. We will talk about this later. This case is far from simple, and Mr. Wang may be needed to help."

"Also, that storekeeper Zhao was put on death row by someone, and it was the Tuoba family who made the move. It is estimated that he is going to make trouble..."

"what?!"

When Wang Xuan heard this, his expression became gloomy.

At this moment, Mo Xunchu hurried in again, holding a note in his hand, "My lord, just now a mouse suddenly jumped out of the snow and crashed to death on the door, with this in its mouth."

After Wang Xuan opened it, his eyes turned cold, "It wasn't the Tuoba family, but the Diyuan sect who wanted to avenge Li Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Guo Luquan had a toothache when he heard this, "The Diyuan Sect seldom participates in government affairs, but those earth masters are not easy to mess with. Besides, with Cen Xuzhou's relationship, they can't tear their faces at will."

"The Diyuan Gate is not a problem."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "As long as we find that Southern Jin assassin, we can clear Zhao Shibo's innocence, but this news has already been known by the Luo family, so I'm afraid it will be a hindrance."

"If they kill that person..."

Xiao Zhongmou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Qin Tutou, can you explain this case in detail below."

Qin Butou nodded, "That day, I found the poisonous worm in the checkpoint. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, I hurried back to the capital. Unexpectedly, Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry died suddenly at the banquet that night."

"At that time, a master of the Diyuan Sect immediately sealed off the Shilang's mansion and kept all the guests. They went down to investigate the scene and found that Li Shilang's death was exactly the same as that of the guard of the Xiaocai Army!"

"I know something is wrong. Fortunately, Mr. Wang found the body of the poisonous insect that seduces the soul, and there are also spirit beasts in the punishment department. The murderer was found immediately. It was the son-in-law of shopkeeper Zhao."

"Although the opponent is good at hiding his aura, he used the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Sect to escape in a hurry. He is undoubtedly an assassin of the Southern Jin Dynasty."

Xiao Zhongmou frowned and said, "This matter is a little suspicious. Li Shilang and the general guarding the pass are not important figures in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Why did the assassin attack these two..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he swallowed, "My lord, I'll think about it for a while."

"The Ministry of Industry and the Xiaocai Army are all related to one thing!"
