Daxianguan

Chapter 371 Master Mu is Confused
"Whether it's a frame-up or not, we'll know in a while." Chu Xian took out the soul-nourishing incense, lit it, and began to cast spells, calling the messengers of the underworld to question him.

At the same time, someone from the outer gate came to report that it was Liu Shiyuan and Du Longxing who had rushed back, and they actually asked several black sword guards to arrive at the scene with a rotten coffin covered in mud.

This battle obviously alarmed the entire Ziyun Temple, not to mention Ziyun Temple, carrying a rotten coffin all the way through the market, even the common people and other officials knew about it immediately, and they were well-informed Everyone knows that this is a major case involving the theft of the Immortal Palace, which is being investigated by the Chief Criminal Officer Chu Xian.

Moreover, I also heard that when Wu Daowei was carrying the coffin across the street, he accidentally dropped it. The coffin fell to the ground, and the coffin boards fell off. The onlookers were startled, afraid of seeing the bones inside. But it was soon discovered that the coffin was actually empty.

No one was dead inside.

The news has already been spread widely.

Although Chu Xian asked Mu Sicheng in the room, in fact, Chu Xian came to Ziyun Temple to investigate the case with great fanfare, and the news that he wanted to ask Mu Sicheng had already spread like wildfire. It is estimated that everyone in Ziyun Temple already knew about it. up.

Now Wu Daowei came in carrying a rotten coffin, and the news that the coffin was empty also spread.

Liu Shiyuan and Du Longxing entered the room, and said: "The next official, according to the order of the general pusher, went to open the coffin for an autopsy on the place where the head of the inner guard died ten years ago, but when the coffin was opened, there was It was empty."

Hearing this, Chu Xian immediately turned his head to look at Mu Sicheng, and said, "Master Mu, this is the head of the inner guard with the best swordsmanship among the sixteen dead that year. You said he was dead, why are there no bones in the coffin?"

Mu Sicheng had a look of disbelief at the moment, he got up and looked at the coffin, and was sweating profusely for a while: "Impossible, impossible, I did the autopsy according to the rules, and I roughly looked at all sixteen corpses. However, they are all dead bodies, how could someone cheat death and I don't know?"

Chu Xian slapped the table at this moment: "Master Mu, this fact is different from what you said. If you still don't admit it, you think that I, Chu Xian, deliberately messed up and put the blame on you. Okay, then I will summon the underworld." The Yin official of the government, let's ask clearly."

After finishing speaking, the spell was already cast, and a ghost appeared on the soul nourishing incense after a while.

There is a strong wind blowing around, there is no doubt that there are Yin officials appearing.

Mu Sicheng is also a well-informed person, he knew at a glance that this was not a fake, and after the yin official appeared, the surroundings became much colder out of thin air, and the wind howled, so he knew it was not an ordinary yin official.

What he thought in his heart was that even if Chu Xian deliberately framed him, it would not be able to affect the Yin official, so Mu Sicheng looked at the Yin official expectantly.

Soon he discovered that this yin official was actually a judge of the underworld.

According to the level, the judge of the underworld is very powerful, only under the Lord of the underworld, unexpectedly, even the judge of the underworld appeared this time.

But Mu Sicheng felt more at ease, if it was an ordinary kid, he might be bribed by Chu Xian, but this judge of the underworld definitely wouldn't.

Because according to the rank, Chu Xian's official position may not be higher than that of other underworld judges.

At this moment, Chu Xian didn't need to speak, Mu Sicheng couldn't help but want to prove his innocence, to prove that he had no faults or mistakes in the inspection back then, so he asked.

"This judge, please also check the book of life and death, and see whether Zhang Xu, a person from Jingzhou, is alive or dead. If he is dead, when and what month did he die in?" Said, obviously, for the sixteen dead inner guards, Mu Sicheng did remember very clearly.

At this time, the judge in Yanghun Xiangli glanced at Chu Xian without showing any trace. Seeing that Chu Xian hadn't said a word, he coughed and pretended to be dignified: "Okay, just wait a moment, and I will go to check the book of life and death."

So the people waited.

After half a stick of incense, the judge came back and said directly: "It has been found out, Zhang Xu is not dead at all, he is still alive now."

"Ah, what!" Hearing these words at this moment, Mu Sicheng stepped back a few steps as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.

"How could it be, how could it be possible, I've seen it clearly, although I haven't done a detailed autopsy, how could I not be able to tell if it's life or death? Every one of them was stabbed in the chest, pierced through the veins of the heart, bloody and bloody, how could this feign death ? Even if the Taoist Immortal suffers such a fatal injury, there is no way out."

Mu Sicheng kept talking, but right now, the coffin was opened for an autopsy, and there was no corpse, and he went to the underworld to check the life and death book, and said that the person was not dead at all, and coupled with Chu Xian's deduction before, these three aspects converged. It is to make a very reasonable and well-documented conclusion from the whole matter.

That is, the dead chief of internal guards was a murderer who stole treasures and killed people, brought out the treasures in a clever way, and then disappeared by feigning death.

And this matter, he definitely can't do it alone, he needs a helper, and right now, no matter how he looks at it, this helper seems to be inseparable from him.

At this moment, Mu Sicheng was yelling for injustice, and he couldn't argue with his mouth. There was a feeling that he couldn't clear it up.

"This, this is someone trying to frame me. I don't accept it, I am wronged." Mu Sicheng shouted, because he was really in a hurry, so his voice was loud, even people outside could hear him clearly.

Especially Pan Wenxiang, although he said that he was avoiding, but he was waiting at the outer door. He was also clear about what happened before, and with the voice he heard, he was basically clear about this matter.

"It turns out that it's Prime Minister Mu Si, whoops, this is really unexpected, unexpected." Pan Wenxiang muttered to himself beside him.

Interestingly, this incident spread quickly, and it was said that Mu Tera Cheng was arrested as a suspect, waiting for interrogation, and there were rumors, there were several versions, and the most exaggerated thing was that Mu Tera Cheng had already admitted that he did it. Yes, and the evidence is overwhelming.

Of course, how many people believed these rumors, then I don't know, anyway, the rumors spread fiercely and quickly.

In the hall, Chu Xian said: "Master Mu, don't worry, it's just an inference right now, it needs to be checked further, just need Master Mu's help, don't go anywhere for now, let's go to the Criminal Division Have a good chat."

This is scary to hear.

Mu Sicheng looked aggrieved at the moment: "Officer Chu Tui, I was really wronged, how could I do such a thing, it really has nothing to do with me."

"It's okay, I'll find out when the time comes, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Chu Xian comforted by the side, and then ordered: "Chu San, bring the Wudaowei in, first escort Mr. Mu to the Criminal Division, and then call Thirty, oh, no, fifty Wudao guards come to Ziyun Temple, the place where Mr. Mu works, and where the mansion is located. They must go and check. Mr. Mu, I believe you will not object. After all, this is also to prove your innocent."

Chu Xian smiled and said without a smile, it just so happened that this scene was also seen by people from Ziyun Temple outside, and everyone secretly scolded that Chu Xian was really ruthless. Bad luck.

"Okay, I'll let you check. I want to see if there is justice in this world." Mu Sicheng also raised his head at this moment, and followed Chu San and the others out.

And people outside saw that Mu Sicheng was taken away by Wu Daowei, and heard that the office and mansion of Mu Sicheng were searched.

Obviously, people who don't know much about the situation have already started brewing various rumored versions.

Chu Xian walked out, and Pan Wenxiang came up to meet him. It could be seen that Pan Wenxiang had a trace of fear on his face, and his laughter was a little awkward.

It's not his fault, Chu Xian's tactics are too fierce, and he will investigate a fifth-rank official in the blink of an eye, and it seems that Mu Sicheng is completely finished, otherwise how could the Criminal Division come to investigate him with such a big fanfare?
That is to say, the current mention of the Criminal Division is to determine that Mu Sicheng has something to do with the unsolved case ten years ago.

Pan Wenxiang is also considered an old man in the officialdom, of course he knows some unspoken rules in the officialdom, if there is no conclusive evidence, or if no one above nods, how dare the Criminal Division investigate and deal with a fifth-rank official?
That is to say, no matter whether Mu Si Cheng did it or not, Mu Si Cheng's position as Si Cheng could not be kept.

the reason is simple.

If it was him, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, and those who deserve punishment will be punished, there is no doubt about it.

But if it wasn't for Mu Sicheng, then there was another possibility. After all, the case in the Immortal Palace had been pending for a long time without any results, and there was no face up and down, so sometimes, a scapegoat was needed.

A scapegoat.

If someone memorizes this crime, then at least on the bright side, it can be said that this case has made a major breakthrough and found one of the perpetrators. In this way, everyone's face will be saved. In all aspects, it is a great achievement pieces.

Don't think that this kind of thing won't happen. Sometimes, it will happen. Officialdom is sometimes so dark. Pan Wenxiang feels that he understands this very well.

So of course he was in awe of Chu Xian, who held the 'power of life and death' in his hands. He pulled down a fifth-rank official after he came for more than an hour. You just drink a pot.

You can't be respectful, you can't be afraid.

Therefore, Chu Xian then said that he wanted to visit Ziyun Temple and both the inner and outer courtyards. Pan Wenxiang agreed to this request without saying a word, and took the initiative to be the guide.

Although he was also wondering why Master Chu didn't interrogate Mu Sicheng right away, but it was not his turn to ask about this kind of matter, so it is the best policy to serve this God of Killing first.

At the outer gate, fifty Wudao guards had already been ordered to come. Chu Xian led a group of officials, and under the guidance of Pan Wenxiang, wandered around Ziyun Temple.

The outer courtyard quickly turned around, and then went to the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is a real place for monks, a Buddhist sanctuary, and a mountain can be seen from a distance. There are [-] pagodas scattered on the mountain. It is said that in each pagoda, there is a relic of a Buddhist major cultivator. in.
