Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 570: Secret Investigation on Rainy Day, Confusing

"It's raining"

In a restaurant in Tianqi City, Lei Wujie sounded somewhat melancholy.

Xiao Se did not intend to give up on the issue of imperial examination cheating, but instead investigated it thoroughly.

However, the resistance to the investigation was extremely great. None of the ministers they visited today received them, and they could not force their way in under broad daylight, so they had been busy for a whole morning but still had gained nothing.

"If you ask me, just go in directly. It's irritating me to death to put up with all this humiliation here!!"

Sikong Qianluo was still somewhat indignant about what happened today.

"Okay, my dear aunt, didn't Xiao Se tell us before that we must not force our way in? At this moment, they are likely to sacrifice their own vehicles to save their own. If we are not careful, we will not only fail to investigate the matter, but also get into trouble. That would be a loss."

Tiannvrui pulled Sikong Qianluo to the other side and comforted her.

Before coming, Xiao Se told them clearly that they should be careful to guard against those who are desperate. If they break in without any precautions, what if that person commits suicide or is assassinated, and they are caught in the trap? At that time, they will be in big trouble, and they will be in big trouble.

"It looks like this rain won't stop any time soon."

Tang Lian reached out to catch the raindrops falling from the eaves, her tone a little strange.

"Lian, what do you want?"

After all, she was a confidante. Just by hearing the change in Tang Lian's tone, Tian Nurui guessed Tang Lian's plan.

"It's getting dark. There are fewer and fewer people on the street. Let's climb over the wall and see if we can get some useful information. Lei Wujie and Qianluo will be on guard outside. If anyone comes, please ventilate us."

"It should have been done long ago. These crooked officials deserve to die!!!"

Sikong Qianluo did not have any good impression of these officials, and even said that he wanted to stab them through with a gun.

Hearing this, Tang Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Killing people was easy, but what Xiao Se wanted to do couldn't be solved by killing people.

On the other side, in a dilapidated temple in the south of the city, a man in black walked out. Outside the dilapidated temple, there was another group of men in black. These people were wearing black veils and were carrying special crossbows, giving off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

"The people have left, but judging from the traces, one of them should be injured."

"Sir, do you need to continue chasing?"

A man in black in the crowd asked.

"Are you so eager to die?"

The man in black smiled coldly. The two people they were chasing were not ordinary people. They were both in the Profound Realm of Divine Wandering. In a one-on-one situation, he might not be a match for either of them, let alone the people under his command.

“I heard that Dark River, Wushuang City, and Fire Dragon Immortal have all taken action. Instead of fighting them to the death, why not wait until they are both defeated and then we can reap the benefits!!”

The man in black smiled coldly. He saw clearly in this matter that the Shenyou Xuanjing was not so easy to kill. The person who took action first would definitely face the most intense counterattack.

Half an hour later, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, with only three or two people left. Tang Lian greeted Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo and Tiannvrui.

The four of them then put on their straw raincoats and disappeared into the rain.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Lei Wujie looked at the few people walking further and further away and couldn't help but ask a question.

After all, in his impression, those officials were all extremely rich, so how could they live in such a remote place?

"Fu Hong, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works, is the lowest-ranking official on the list provided by Ji Xue. His residence is in a remote area, so choosing him as the target will not attract much attention." Upon hearing this, the entourage thought for a moment and nodded.

In Tianqi City, there are more than one or two people wandering in the mysterious realm. Although it is raining now, there is still no guarantee that those people will not notice, so Fu Hong, which is located in a remote area, is a good choice.

About an incense stick later, they arrived at their destination. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Lei Wujie seemed a little unconvinced.

Even Sikong Qianluo who was standing by couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, could this be a mistake?"

Tang Lian frowned. The location was provided by Bai Xiaotang, so it shouldn't be wrong. But looking at the current situation, something seemed a little wrong.

"It should be correct. Ji Xue gave us the information. However, it seems that the group of people are not of the same mind. This is good news for us."

Tian Nurui suddenly spoke. When the others heard her, they were stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

If things are really as they imagined, then the next thing will be easy to handle. The worst thing about many things is uneven distribution of spoils. Perhaps Fu Hong is an excellent breakthrough point.

Tang Lian gave an order to Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie, then climbed over the wall with Tiannvrui. Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo, one of them hid under the main gate of the courtyard, while the other went to a shack not far away and stayed on guard.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in less than half a cup of tea, Tang Lian and Tian Nu Rui appeared.

Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo, who were watching closely, were stunned. Although they admired Tang Lian's interrogation methods, they couldn't get anything out of her in such a short time, right? ?
The three people gathered in the courtyard and sent a signal to Lei Wujie in the distance. Tang Lian and Tian Nurui looked unhappy, and they left without even having time to explain.

Under a pavilion, several people took off their raincoats. Lei Wujie asked curiously, "Brother, so fast?"

Tang Lian stood there, with an unnatural solemn look in her eyes. Tian Nurui beside her said, "We didn't interrogate him."

Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie looked at each other. They came here just to get the information about these people. Did Tang Lian and Tian Nurui go in and do nothing? ?
"Brother!!"

Sikong Qianluo looked at Tang Lian again.

"When Rui and I went in, Fu Hong was already dead!"

Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie were stunned as if struck by lightning.

"This is impossible!!"

"Haven't Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin already left Tianqi? And Anhe and Wushuang City have already sent people to hunt them down. They don't have time to return to Tianqi City to commit crimes!!"

Tang Lian clenched her hands, her mood becoming even more complicated.

"This is also what I don't understand. They clearly didn't have time to commit the crime, or was Fu Hong's death a move by those people to sacrifice the pawn to save the king?"

“Is there anything else at the scene?”

Tang Lian took out a letter that had not yet been sent from her bosom. The letter was signed by another person in charge of the Ministry of Works.

"This is the only thing we have. There is nothing else. Another thing is that all of Fu Hong's family members are also dead. They were killed with a single blow. The method was extremely neat."

"A signed letter?? Strange, why didn't the murderer take it?"

"Could it be."

As if he remembered something, Tang Lian's expression suddenly changed.

"not good!!"
