Chapter 776: Suspicion
No matter so much.
There has to be a result.
The first suspect can't help but investigate, even if he has a good relationship with Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun considered that the investigation must obtain evidence, and considering that the place where the ceremony was held was not necessarily a place where the murderer often haunted, so he divided the labor among the people at the bottom, Yu Zixuan and Jin Mushi were natives of Yangzhou, and did not participate in this operation in order to avoid trouble.
Others were divided into several groups.
Let them go to several stations outside Zhengjia City to investigate.
Wang Goudan and Lan Xiang identify people who are closer to Zheng Xuan.
Their mission is to find a place where it is possible to hide the location of the ritual altar, or to trace the associated aura.
As for Xiang Yun himself, needless to say, the most troublesome thing has to be done by Xiang Yun himself, he wants to personally confirm Zheng Xuan's situation and see if he is really the real murderer behind the scenes!
Of course.
Safety first.
Xiang Yun brought Duguyue over.
Let her follow her.
"In front is Zheng Xuan's mansion!"
Xiang Yun took Duguyue to appear near the Juncheng Mansion.
Although Zheng Xuan is a member of the Zheng family in Yangzhou, he usually lives in the county official mansion on weekdays, after all, as the mayor of Yangzhou and the county of Yangzhou, he has a lot of things to do, and it is not convenient to take them home to do.
Duguyue asked lightly: "How are you going to check, breaking in or sneaking in?"
"There's no need!" Xiang Yun smiled slightly, he walked directly to the main gate, and said to the guards guarding the door: "A few old brothers, please tell Lord Juncheng, Xiang Yun asks to see!"
Xiang Yun?
Several guards at the door were stunned.
Xiang Yun is very famous in Yangzhou City, and several people, as the guards of the county guard, are of course no strangers to the word Xiang Yun, they looked at Xiang Yun a few times, and simply verified their identities, and one of them immediately ran in to report.
Soon.
And he rushed out.
The guard respectfully arched his hand and said, "Master Xiang, Lord Juncheng is in the study, please let the humble take you in." ”
Xiang Yun nodded: "It's hard work." ”
There is no need to dive in.
I didn't have to break in.
The word Xiang Yun is still very useful in Yangzhou, not to mention that he is currently a scholar of Chu University and a ranger general canonized by the King of Chu, if you want to talk about rank, it is actually not much different from Jin Zhengyi, at most one or two levels lower than Zheng Xuan.
Of course.
Xiang Yun has no real power.
He just hung up a false post in the army.
When Xiang Yun took Duguyue into the county guard's mansion, he began to look around, and in the process, he actually activated the divine pupil to scan the county guard's mansion inside and out without dead ends.
Yangzhou County is not as good as Ping'an County.
Ping'an County is a small city with a population of one million.
As long as Xiang Yun stands at the top, with his current ability, he can basically observe the entire town thoroughly, including many hidden secret rooms, mainly because the scale of Ping'an County is relatively small, and the residents who live there are ordinary people, and there are no special protective enchantments or other means.
Yangzhou City is different.
It is the seat of the county seat of the whole county.
There are a lot of various enchantments or prohibitions to prevent prying eyes, especially in a place like the Juncheng Mansion, where there are many prohibitions on the periphery, even Xiang Yun will be restricted.
Of course.
After walking in here.
There were no secrets to him.
Xiang Yun looked around, all the things in the secret passages of the secret room were all captured by his own eyes without exception, but he didn't find anything suspicious here.
This made Xiang Yun's confusion deeper.
In the study, Zheng Xuan was reviewing some government affairs documents of Yangzhou County, and when he saw Xiang Yun walking in with Duguyue, his expression was slightly stunned, and he stayed on Duguyue for a moment.
He could feel it.
This woman is very not simple.
Zheng Xuan put down the pen and showed a smile: "It is really rare for a scholar from Xiang University to visit late at night, do you have any advice?"
The other party is a Taoist master.
It is likely to have the ability to shield hexagrams.
If you rashly launch the Book of Heaven, I'm afraid that the other party will notice it.
Xiang Yun quietly activated his divine pupils, glanced at Zheng Xuan, and then said, "Don't dare, it's just about Ping'an County, I think Master Zheng should know." ”
"What you're talking about is a collective nightmare?" The expression on Zheng Xuan's face suddenly converged, he motioned for Xiang Yun to sit down, and then said to him, "It turns out that you are here for this matter. ”
Xiang Yun didn't sit down, just nodded: "Exactly." ”
Zheng Xuan said with a solemn face: "This is also a special headache for me recently, this matter is very strange, it is simply unheard of, although I ordered the Investigation Bureau to find out the real culprit as soon as possible, but it has been more than 20 people who have intervened, and there are still no clues." ”
Said this.
He glanced at Xiang Yun: "It seems that Zhai Jian is looking for you to go out of the mountain, since you came to me late at night, then presumably there is any special progress in this matter?"
Xiang Yun always observed the changes in Zheng Xuan's expression.
The Divine Pupil's insight is very powerful.
Even the slightest tremor of the eyeballs, the slight contraction of the pupils, or the changes in qi and blood, it was impossible to hide the pupils from any slight abnormal performance, but to Xiang Yun's surprise, Zheng Xuan did not show any abnormalities from beginning to end.
Is it really not him?
Xiang Yun didn't have anything to be afraid of, so he said straight to the point: "I did get some clues, Lord Zheng should know that I have a deep relationship with the ancient clan of the Zhang family, and recently went to his ancestral land and devoted myself to further study for a while. ”
Zheng Xuan's expression was strange: "I naturally know this, Zhang Daoxuan, the young patriarch of the Zhang family, didn't he come to Yangzhou not long ago?
"Well, that's right, the student is not talented but in the process of practicing in Zhangjiazudi, he successfully practiced a special ancient hexagram, with this hexagram, I got some enlightenment in Ping'an County, which may be related to the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"I am also a Taoist monk, and I am also involved in hexagrams, but I have never heard of it, this Zhang clan is really profound, and it is worthy of being the queen of the Taoist saints. ”
Zheng Xuan said this and asked, "What revelation have you got?"
Xiang Yun said calmly: "Qinglong Purple Star Sword." ”
There is no need to hide it.
Just say it.
What kind of person is Zheng Xuan? It is not easy for him to sit in the position he is in now, if everything is said about this, if he still doesn't know the purpose of Xiang Yun's coming here, then these decades can be regarded as a wasted life.
"You kid actually suspects me? It's ridiculous!"
Zheng Xuan couldn't help but stand up, he was a little annoyed at first, and then a little crying and laughing. is really worthy of being a guy who can drag the Chu family into the water, this guy actually ran in front of him so straightforwardly to question himself.
Xiang Yun said calmly: "The student doesn't dare to tarnish Lord Zheng's reputation, he just wants to find out the real culprit, the probability of my secret technique being wrong is very small, as far as I know, Yangzhou County has the Qinglong Purple Star Sword, it seems that only Lord Zheng Xuan!"
Zheng Xuan was not an ordinary person after all, he quickly regained his composure, shook his head and said: "Yes, twenty years ago, I was awarded a Blue Dragon Medal Sword by the King of Chu for meritorious service, but I never wore this thing on my body, and it has always been placed in the family temple. ”
Xiang Yun's brows furrowed.
Zheng Xuan didn't look like he was lying.
What's more, Xiang Yun really hasn't seen Zheng Xuan wear this knife, even if the Qinglong Purple Star Knife is a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, but Zheng Xuan, as a Taoist monk, is unlikely to use this knife even if he chooses a saber, right?
The doubts in Xiang Yun's heart deepened.
