Demon detective

188 Top Secret
"Wubing is a stubborn person..." Lian Ji's eyes were dark when she spoke, still in the grief of losing her old lover, "Six years ago, I tried to persuade him, but in order to capture the illusory truth, He still stubbornly stayed on."

Tripartite forces...

Xu Zhen secretly analyzed in his heart: the official represented by Fang Wubing, the mysterious organization that Fang Wubing joined, and the person or organization that once stole the Rusty Knife.

And the key to this case is that—the rusty knife!

Although the Rusty Knife was the saber of the founding emperor, it was only a saber, and logically it shouldn't cause so many people to worry about it.

Could it be... is there really any secret in this knife?
"What happened later?" Dongfang Meiyan seemed to realize something, and immediately asked with a gloomy expression, "What happened later?"

"Originally," Lian Ji replied, "Fang was arrested and imprisoned without illness, and stayed in the prison in the county government. My superiors also arranged for corresponding people to enter the prison for close monitoring and protection. Just waiting for someone to take the bait.

"But... in the second year of being imprisoned without illness, a major event happened... oh..."

Lian Ji sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"So that's how it is," Dongfang Meiyan nodded and asked, "Then... has it affected your affairs?"

Ok?
Xu Zhen was confused, and hurriedly searched his memory, but quickly found the answer.

It turned out that the second year of Fang Wubing's imprisonment was the first year of Changle, which was also the time when Xuanxinzong died and the new emperor Li Xin ascended the throne.

Although Xuanxinzong Li Xing was 61 years old, he had always been in good health. His death was so sudden that Prince Li Xin, who was only 12 years old at the time, was unprepared.

Since Fang Wubing was entrusted by the new sect, the death of the former emperor and the ascension of the new emperor naturally affected his mission.

"It's not influence, but destruction..." Lian Ji said, "Since the death of the first emperor, I have never contacted my superiors."

"You...who is your superior?" Dongfang Meiyan hurriedly asked.

"Although we are all internal guards," Lian Ji said, "because we completed top-secret missions, we all operated according to secret orders, and I have never met my superiors.

"The line is broken!" Lian Ji said, "People around me have withdrawn from their posts and disappeared one after another, and no one is watching the county prison."

"Is there such a thing?" Dongfang Meiyan was shocked, "That Fang Wubing is really an undercover agent, wouldn't he be unable to turn himself around forever? Back then, who else knew about this?"

"In addition to the late emperor, there is also the disease-free master Yue Jinglei and the late emperor's close ministers, but Yue Daxia has long passed away, and the late emperor's close ministers don't know who it is..."

"Then..." Dongfang Meiyan said, "Why don't you contact your current superior in the Inner Guard Mansion, or directly submit a letter to the emperor?"

"Of course not," Lian Ji said, "If you think about it, you know that the disappearance of the personnel involved in secret orders is not as simple as dismissal.

"I can feel that most of them will not survive!
"During the past four years, I also lived in fear every day, for fear that I would lose my life someday."

"It's actually like this..." Dongfang Meiyan frowned, her face was gloomy, obviously thinking of something even more terrifying.

Although Xu Zhen didn't understand the court, he could also think of it: the problem has become extremely serious!
The prison robbery in front of me is just the tip of the iceberg!
If Lian Ji hadn't lied, then it was very likely that Fang Wubing was an undercover agent.

The mysterious organization that Fang Wubing joined, or the person who stole the Rusty Knife, had already ascended the throne through the new emperor, cutting off all ties with Fang Wubing.

The former wanted to find Rusty Knife through Fang Wubing, while the latter wanted to find the batch of goods in Wanfeng Bank through Fang Wubing.

Therefore, the organization that wants to torture Fang Wubing with words and deeds, whether it is the former or the latter, must be a super powerful force.

They could even be so strong that they broke the late emperor's secret organization!
"Then..." Dongfang Meiyan thought for a long time before asking the key question again, "Where are the things that Fang Wubing snatched from Wanfeng Bank back then?"

"Of course it was hidden by Fang Wubing himself!" Dongfang Meiyan said, "He wants to use himself as bait to lure these two groups, so he must have the capital to negotiate.

"On the one hand, the mysterious organization doesn't know if there are rusty knives in that batch of goods, so they will definitely come to find Fang Wubing;

"On the other hand, that batch of goods is very important to the owner of the goods, and he will also come to find Fang Fang."

"What about the Buddha head gold?" Dongfang Meiyan asked, "What about the Buddha head gold?"

"I don't know either," Lian Ji said, "However, I can guess a rough one.

"After Fang Wubing was arrested, although I didn't dare to meet him directly, I kept inquiring about relevant information from the side. I guess, when the robbery was carried out, some accomplice took the sheep and took the money in the vault. Buddha head gold!
"Fang Wubing probably didn't know about it, so the Buddha head gold was left on the corpse..."

"Oh..." Dongfang Meiyan took over the conversation, "The government has never found Fang Wubing's accomplices, and the mysterious organization must have disposed of their bodies. That is to say..."

Lao Li and his group are that mysterious organization!

The latter sentence was said by Xu Zhen in his heart.

"The person who robbed Fang Wubing was chanting the slogan of Tianxuanzong against the party," Dongfang Meiyan still said, "Could it be that the group of people who want to get the rusty knife are Tianxuan against the party?"

Xu Zhen didn't speak, because he felt that those jailor spies said this sentence deliberately, but it seemed like a line prepared in advance.

"It's possible," Lian Ji said, "The Neiwei Mansion has always regarded the Tianxuan Rebel Party as the number one enemy. Moreover, it is said that the Emperor Taizu had some conflicts with the Patriarch of Xuandao.

"I don't know, is the secret in that rusty knife related to this?
"Otherwise, apart from the royal family, who would care about that knife?"

No way?
Xu Zhen instinctively thought of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", the Yi Tian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Knife contained the Nine Yin Scriptures, so what would be hidden in the Taizu Emperor Li Xuanzhen's knife?
Could it be... There is a contract to share the world equally with others?

"Lian Ji," Dongfang Meiyan asked, "The reason why you said you were sorry Fang Wubing..."

"It's because I can't help him!" Tears welled up in Lian Ji's eyes again, "The enemy must be powerful, if I go to the Imperial Palace or the emperor, then not only will I not be able to save Wubing, but I will die in vain.

"Death is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the enemy will definitely torture me and demand my confession.

"The reason why I am still alive may be only because my superiors did not betray me!

"You two," she said, slumped on the seat, "I've already told you everything I know, and after today, I'm very likely to become a dead person!
"However, as you said, I am dead without disease, and my life is meaningless..."

As she said that, she looked at Dongfang Meiyan and Xu Zhen with strange eyes.

This glance immediately made the atmosphere extremely tense.

Obviously, Lian Ji suspects that there is a villain among the two of them! ! !
