Chapter 118: Losing the Pawn and Protecting the Commander

Zhu Zhixian saw that Yi Xingchen was very affectionate, but it was Yi Xingchen who saved his life, and after Liu Zhixian heard Zhu Zhixian's introduction, he also accompanied Yi Xingchen with a smile, after all, Yi Xingchen is Jinyiwei, although he is a dignified prefect, but he still has to be polite when he sees Jinyiwei.

At that moment, Yi Xingchen told them what happened, saying that after he got the tip, he pretended to be a member of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect to enter Yunshan Temple to spy on intelligence, but unfortunately he was discovered, and after being caught, he threw it into the hidden corpse cave under the Dengxian Cave, fortunately he found an iron chain in the cave, and by chance found a hidden cave, so he climbed out of Yunyun.

The whole story he said was not adulterated, but Tang Xiaoqi was omitted entirely, because Tang Xiaoqi could not be promoted, if he said that he was alone with Tang Xiaoqi in the cave, I was afraid that there would be gossip, but it would be unfavorable to her, so I simply hid it all, and I would reward her well in the future.

The whole thing was obtained by him through fortune-telling, and Yi Xingchen didn't mention anything about it, of course this kind of thing can't be known to others, otherwise it will cause unexpected trouble.

Liu Zhifu, Zhu Zhixian, and Zhang Jiang, the three of them, listened to Yi Xingchen finish the whole story, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and even gave a thumbs up, praising Yi Xingchen as a lonely hero, going deep into the tiger's den, dying nine times a life, and finally cracking the shocking case in one fell swoop and making great contributions.

At this time, more than a dozen stonemasons sent by Zhang to find people from the countryside had already arrived. Under Yi Xingchen's guidance, they entered the Dengxian Cave. The mountain wall that closed the entrance was directly chiseled open, and finally the hidden cave below was revealed, and I also saw the artificially made stone gate mechanism on the mountain wall, and I was sure that this was indeed a stone gate hidden by the mechanism. The hole below is closed.

Because it involves a murder, of course, it is the magistrate who takes over. Governor Zhang ordered the prefect's yamen and the county yamen to play with the catchers and beat torches. Go down the chain to the bottom of the cave and inspect it.

After the inquest was completed, all the corpses below were taken out with ropes and placed all over the hillside. Some were white bones, some were highly decomposed corpses, and some were corpses that had just been thrown down.

At this time, the families of the common people who entered the Dengxian Cave last time rushed to the back mountain after the notice of the official army, and they listened to the explanation of the yamen and the arrest of Kuai, and they didn't believe it at first, but they could see the bodies of their relatives taken out of the cave, and the bones and tendons were broken. I couldn't help but caress the corpse and cry bitterly.

The news spread quickly, and the villagers who had previously ascended to the immortal came one after another to identify the body. Of course, most of them are unrecognizable, because the corpses are all stripped naked, and most of them have long since decomposed, and quite a few have turned into white bones, and it is not known who is who.

However, after the twenty or thirty people who had just ascended to the immortal in front of them recognized that they were indeed their relatives who had ascended to the immortal, most of the others also began to believe that there must be their relatives among these bones. I couldn't help but cry too. Of course, there are many people who still firmly believe that their relatives are gone to the immortals, and the bones found are not their relatives, and they don't know who buried them in the back mountain, and they may not have done it by the people of Yunshan Temple.

Although these are no longer recognizable whose corpses are. It is impossible to blame the Heavenly Tribulation Sect Daoist of Yunshan Temple, but the twenty or thirty corpses that were just thrown down the cave are indeed the corpses of the so-called immortal people a few days ago. And these people were brought into the Dengxian Cave by the Taoist priest of Yunshan Temple and disappeared, deceiving their families that they had ascended to the Immortal Cave. However, their corpses were found in the corpse cave under the Waiting Immortal Cave, and Yunshanguan naturally could not escape this responsibility. Therefore, Governor Liu ordered all the Taoist priests to be brought back to Yamen and put on death row. At the same time, an official document was issued to arrest the fugitive Yunshan Temple presiding officer Kong Quanzi, as well as the Taoist Kong Xuanzi and the monk Kong Ming.

After the body was inspected, a record was made, and the testimony was extracted, it was handed over to the family for disposal, and the unclaimed bones were dug and buried in the back mountain. Then Governor Liu and the others returned to Tunzhou, Tang Xiaoqi went home by himself, but Yi Xingchen was still busy.

This case was taken over by the magistrate, but it was Jinyiwei who exposed the case, so after dealing with these, Governor Liu and Zhu Zhixian took Yi Xingchen to Jinyiwei Yamen in person to report to Ruan Baihu.

Ruan Baihu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and interrogated Yi Xingchen again, only to know that the captain of the spy group under his command had actually discovered such a big shocking case under his nose, and he couldn't help but feel very happy, and praised him repeatedly, and asked the master to write a report to the Thousand Households Institute to ask Yi Xingchen for credit.

This time, Yi Xingchen was directly reported to Ruan Baihu by Governor Liu and Zhu Zhixian, so those general flags and small flags couldn't blame him, and when they saw him, they also smiled and praised him, especially Yi Xingchen's top boss Liu Xiaoqi, who patted Yi Xingchen on the shoulder and praised him affectionately. Because he knew that after such a great contribution, Yi Xingchen was only afraid that the official position would be covered on his head one day, and it would not please him at this time, but he was afraid that Yi Xingchen would not give him a good face in the future.

A few days later, Governor Liu set up a banquet in the prefect's yamen, called his subordinates and other adjutants to accompany him, and invited Yi Xingchen, the captain of the Jinyi Guard. Of course, Zhu Zhixian was also invited to accompany him.

Yi Xingchen didn't expect that the dignified prefect would invite him to a small soldier for dinner, and he was a little surprised today. And when his master Gongsun He heard the news, his white beard trembled with excitement, the prefect's master, a big official he had never seen before, actually invited his apprentice to dinner. This is enough to glorify the ancestors.

Of course, Governor Liu wanted to invite Yi Xingchen, because Yi Xingchen helped him solve this shocking case. This kind of case may be a bad thing for the magistrate, or it can be a good thing, and if the case cannot be solved, it will seriously affect the performance of the government. If it can be successfully cracked, it is a glorious political achievement.

Governor Liu ordered the sea to capture Kongquanzi and others, because the goal was clear, the proceeds were relatively smooth, and soon, Kongxuanzi and the monk Kongming were caught at a distance. Only the host of Yunshan Pass, Kongquanzi, is nowhere to be found.

After Kong Xuanzi and Kong Ming fled, they dispersed, and they didn't know where Kong Quanzi went.

After interrogation, Kong Xuanzi and Kunming both confessed that they pretended to be Dengxian and sold Dengxian scrolls at a high price to defraud the sect members of money, and after letting those people enter the cave, they gave them the so-called Dengxian water, which is actually a drug. Before the onset of the drug, they stripped naked and trousers. After these people fell asleep, they opened the mechanism and threw them into the corpse cave, deceiving their families, saying that these people had gone to the immortals, but in fact, they had been murdered.

So far, the case has been successfully solved, except for the main culprit who is escaping, all the other characters have been brought to justice, and only the matter of the national sea fishing spring is left. Because this case involves a wide range of areas and has a great impact, the imperial court attaches great importance to it and gives Governor Zhang a meritorious award.

Drink water and don't forget to dig wells, of course Governor Liu will not forget his subordinates, and reward him for his meritorious deeds, of course, the first merit is the Jinyi Wei Yi Xingchen.

Therefore, Governor Liu held a banquet to entertain Yi Xingchen to express his gratitude, and at the same time, he also expected that Yi Xingchen would definitely be promoted because of this matter, and while the appointment has not yet come down, he should quickly establish a good relationship first, and get along well in the future.

At the banquet, Governor Liu, Zhu Zhixian and other officials kept taking turns to toast Yi Xingchen, and at the same time praised Yi Xingchen for his promising youth and unlimited future.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yi Xingchen had a little bit of wine, and said to Governor Liu through wine: "May I ask my lord, will the imperial court order the ban on the Heavenly Tribulation Sect?" ”

Yi Xingchen really didn't have a good impression of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, before the Heavenly Tribulation Sect robbed Xiu Nu to refine the elixir for the sect leader, and now he cheated hundreds of believers out of money, not to mention, and threw people into caves to kill, and almost killed himself, so Yi Xingchen hated the Heavenly Tribulation Sect so much that he hoped to exterminate them as soon as possible.

Governor Liu diverted the topic and said: "Let's not talk about business today, let's talk about it another day, come and drink." ”

While talking, he secretly gave Yi Xingchen a look, and Yi Xingchen knew that there were probably still variables in this matter, and it was not appropriate to talk about it at the wine table, so he didn't mention this topic.

At the end of the banquet, Governor Liu invited Yi Xingchen to his study for tea.

The two of them went to the study and sat down, closed the door after serving tea, and then Governor Liu said apologetically to Yi Xingchen: "Brother Yi, the question you asked at the wine table earlier was inconvenient to answer at that time because there were many people, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Yi Xingchen hurriedly said: "Where is it, Governor Liu is polite, I am not doing more, I don't know the severity of the occasion to speak, which makes you embarrassed." Presumably, there is something strange in this matter, so it is not good for Governor Liu to say it in public, right? ”

"Yes, my brother is like a god." Governor Liu smiled and nodded, "The news I heard is that the imperial court has two opinions on how to deal with this matter, one group thinks that the Heavenly Tribulation Sect should be banned in its entirety, and the other group thinks that this is just a matter that a few disciples of Yunshan Temple have secretly done to hide from the sect leader, not the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect." Therefore, it is not possible to affect the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and it is only necessary to punish these people in Yunshan Temple according to law. ”

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the people of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect would be able to come up with this way to get rid of the crime of losing their pawns and protecting the handsome, but if you think about it carefully, many officials in the imperial court are Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples, and the national teachers around the emperor also have Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples, if the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect is banned, then they are afraid that they will also be unlucky, of course they are unwilling to have such a situation, so they unite to resist the entire ban on the Heavenly Tribulation Sect.

Yi Xingchen hurriedly said, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Governor Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm just a mere prefect, how can I know what the emperor means?" I don't dare to speculate. However, with my many years of experience as an official, I estimate that this matter will not affect the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect, after all, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect is too huge, although it is a recent rise, but it has expanded rapidly, and many court officials have become their disciples, of course they are willing to attribute this kind of thing to a small number of sect members in Yunshan Temple. ”

"However, the Heavenly Tribulation Sect sells Dengxian coupons, I'm afraid it's not the Yunshan Guan family, right?" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
