Chapter 304: The Truth of Despair

The Tantric case files of the Taiqing Pavilion are all locked in the backyard library here, and unlike the Lotus Pavilion Library, the order here is stricter and the guards are more tight.

Five years ago, a fire swept through the area, burning two officers of the Intelligence Division.

One is a mediocre envoy of the Intelligence Department, named Xu Jin, not many people remember him, with his rank, grade, and influence, he died like this, without setting off the slightest wave.

The other person is different.

Shen Ling is one of the only nine remaining young leaders of the Tiandu Intelligence Division.

Not only that, he was also Yun Xun's right-hand man back then, and the Intelligence Department was at its peak that year, and the Law Enforcement Division fought against each other in Tiandu, and they were evenly matched, because of this fire, Yun Xun once entered the palace to face the saint and went to the Lotus Pavilion to find the teacher to ask for an explanation...... And the chief priest who put on a tough posture intervened like this.

In the end, the case was closed.

The case file that Shen Ling and Xu Jin were responsible for was a first-class secret, and the Law Enforcement Department and the Intelligence Department were competing to grab a case file...... Both parties invested great effort and manpower, and the project was abruptly halted.

The Law Enforcement Division withdrew, and the Intelligence Division issued a choke order.

However, two "guys" who did not know the height of the sky decided to go their own way and continued the investigation against the order, so the night before the file was submitted, the fire was encountered.

In fact, they are three guys who don't know the height of the sky.

There is also a Gu Qian.

He was one of the lucky ones, and before deciding to disobey the order, Shen Ling destroyed the file and secretly stuffed it into the Law Enforcement Division as a seed, waiting for the day when it would take root and sprout...... So the seed escaped and took root without any problems.

Gu Qian, who was hiding in the shadows at the beginning, once pinned his hopes on the big names in Tiandu that there would be a kind-hearted person who would take the lead for the Intelligence Department and avenge his two brothers, but then he was slowly disappointed.

The case sank.

And there is no chance of "Zhaoxue".

After two sessions of great changes.

Gu Qian finally stood on a high place.

He finally had the opportunity to uncover the secret of the fire in Taiqing Pavilion that day.

"Gu Zuo. ”

"Master Gu. ”

The carriage stopped.

The current garrison of Taiqing Pavilion has changed a group of people, the Taiqing Pavilion of the year, it was the Taoist Taoist who was responsible for garrisoning, with Chen Yi losing power, Li Changshou was in charge of the cabinet, and the garrison here was replaced by the old policy of the small pavilion, and became the imperial guards in the palace.

The guards at the gate only recognize His Highness's orders.

Gu Qian, who was wearing a black cloak, walked all the way, and all the people he saw on the road bowed with low eyebrows and respectful expressions, paying homage to this left envoy.

The shoe is on the other foot.

He nodded his head one by one, and he had seen it, but his brows were furrowed, obviously thinking about other trivial matters.

In the past, the crown prince took out a large number of scrolls, which had nowhere to be placed, and were divided into three groups and placed in three places.

East Chamber. Kunhai Tower. Taiqing Pavilion.

And the fire case file requested by Gu Qian was locked in the Taiqing Pavilion Library.

He stepped briskly into the backyard library and took a deep breath, forcing himself to cheer up.

The amount of work involved in the investigation of the tantric case file is too great...... There are three reasons, the first is that the fire of that year destroyed a lot of resources, and a lot of information has been lost.

Second, the old case I want to investigate is too long.

The third point is that this matter is really inconvenient to use Kunhailou's manpower, after all, Gu Qian's own intelligence department files have been destroyed, and he is now in his body

As the left envoy of Kunhai Tower, every move was magnified countless times, and it was difficult to explain the motive for sending people to investigate the fire in Taiqing Pavilion.

Therefore, Gu Qian could only flip through the book building alone and conduct this secret investigation.

The outside world didn't know what he was looking for.

If someone knows, they may also think that the Zuo envoy is too stubborn, the two fire victims five years ago, what is there to check in the case file?

Gu Qian knew what he was investigating.

He also knew about the death of Shen Ling and Xu Jin.

It can't be a coincidence, and it can't be an accident.

......

......

"The Aoyama Mansion is a suspicious case. The three divisions decided to investigate the theft of the tomb of Ying Tianfu Academy, and the new sword master Hou Ningyi was seriously suspected, Shen Ling, the head of the special intelligence department, and the ......head of the law enforcement department, Shen Ling, the head of the law enforcement department.

Gu Qian flipped through a case file that had fallen into the dust.

This case file records in detail the investigation tasks that Shen Ling participated in before.

It turned out that after the Qingshan Mansion, the three princes of the western realm began to thoroughly investigate the suspect who infiltrated the academy, in fact, the identity of this "suspect" seems to have been determined, it is Ning Yi, but because His Majesty's attitude is very subtle, the three divisions are also very cautious.

Gu Qian's finger hovered over the text of the dossier.

He fell into thought......

Gu Qian clearly remembered that at that time, Ning Yi was the first on the star list and the most favored cultivator in Tiandu, after the battle with the academy, instead of being blamed, he was awarded the title of "Marquis of the Sword Walk", and he was knighted, and he had a good future, at that time, if it were not for the instructions of the three princes behind his back, the Intelligence Department and the Law Enforcement Department would never take the risk to investigate Ning Yi.

Then, Shen Ling was also involved in this turmoil at this time.

Continuing to read, Gu Qian's heart suddenly chuckled.

"On March 19, the head of the Law Enforcement Division insisted and ordered the Law Enforcement Department to completely stop the investigation. ”

The investigation order against Ning Yi was forcibly suspended here-

What is the reason for this?

No record was found in the case file.

So Gu Qian flipped through the other ancient scrolls.

"After the Hongshan Plateau, Song Jinglian entered the heavenly capital and got very close to Ning Yi, and in the follow-up rebellion of the Southern Xinjiang Law Enforcement Division, Song Jinglian and Li Baitao used an extremely wonderful 'teleportation array'...... It is suspected to be a gift from Ning Yi. ”

Gu Qian suddenly realized and muttered: "Red Mountain Demon Tide, return to Tiandu, Song Jinglian should have reached a deal with Ning Yi." Ning Yi handed over the 'teleportation array' to him, and he used his power in the palace to revoke the investigation order for Ning Yi. ”

Standing five years later.

Gu Qian understood why Ning Yi was afraid of the investigation of the third division in the first place...... He is indeed an orphan in Xiling, and he can't find any way to check it over and over again, but Pei Lingsu, who accompanies him, is a defector from the General's Mansion, and once it is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So thanks to Song Jinglian's blessing, the big men in the palace issued a certain will and interrupted the investigation of the case file. ”

He muttered, "It was also at this time that Shen Ling and Xu Jin decided to continue to go deeper and let the truth come out...... They had just found some signs when they encountered a fire in Taiqing Pavilion. ”

At that time, he suspected that the culprit of arson was Ning Yi.

But then he slowly understood the whole incident logically...... The arsonists of Taiqing Pavilion are indeed unlikely to be Ning Yi and Pei Lingsu.

Under the influence of Song Jinglian, the third division did withdraw the investigation, Ning Yi never knew Shen Ling and Xu Jin, let alone burned down the entire Taiqing Pavilion and escalated the incident.

At this point, another irrationality arises......

The Intelligence Division and the Law Enforcement Division were silent about this, acquiescing that it was a normal fire

Disaster.

The deaths of Shen Ling and Xu Jin were suppressed like this.

There must be a strong enough force behind this...... The one who can suppress the three divisions, in this heavenly capital, there is only the imperial power.

All of a sudden.

Gu Qian caught a hint of inspiration, he quickly flipped in front of the bookshelf in the library, a large number of case files about that year were turned out by him, Gu Zuo made the book extremely fast, ten lines at a glance, but did not leave the slightest detail.

"Taiqing Pavilion Fire ......"

"Intrauterine Action ......"

"If the imperial power is involved in this matter, who will it be, the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince?"

The table was littered with ancient scrolls.

Gu Qian's hair was scattered, without a boundary, he walked briskly, following the wisp of inspiration in his mind, and constantly searching for the "case file" that might touch the truth-

Finally he stopped.

At the bottom of the huge bookshelf, Gu Qian found a copy of the surveillance records of the Intelligence Department during that time...... He crouched on the ground, turned the first page of the book, and his fingers began to tremble.

This surveillance log was written by a dead soldier of the Intelligence Division, who successfully infiltrated the Western Frontier camp and was Li Bailin's royal groom during that time.

"The relationship between His Royal Highness and Shushan Ning Yi is extremely poor. After the Castle Peak Mansion Incident, the academy cut off contact with the western border, and His Royal Highness met with the head of the Law Enforcement Division overnight. ”

"March 20. The staff began to formulate a plan to investigate Ning Yi. Several of the Division's junior heads appear to have begun an investigation. ”

"On March 25, a big man in the palace ordered the investigation to be interrupted. The Third Highness was extremely angry, but after meeting with Xu Qingke, he strangely changed into a person and began to vigorously support the action of revoking the 'Investigation Order'. ”

"On March 26, the Law Enforcement Division actually dropped the investigation...... Third Highness, no, what the hell is Xu Qingke thinking? The Third Highness learned that there were still people in the Intelligence Department secretly investigating Ning Yi, and sent someone to warn him. ”

"On March 29, the day when the case file of the Taiqing Pavilion was reported at the end of the month, I saw a strange person under the Third Palace, this person had a hideous face and a scar on his face, like an evil ghost. I waited outside the house and overheard a few words. His Royal Highness seemed to be dissatisfied with the Intelligence Department, and the evil ghost man asked for advice and burned the Taiqing Pavilion tonight. ”

The monitoring log, followed by some intermittent trivialities, has nothing to do with this matter.

Gu Qian's eyes were fixed on the copywriting record of March 29......

"That evil ghost person, please come out and burn the Taiqing Pavilion tonight. ”

"The man of the demons...... Please come up with a ...... Burn the Taiqing Pavilion tonight......"

Who else will there be a demon person, and who else will there be?

Everything, everything, was opened up in his mind.

The third prince and Ning Yi had a deep enmity, and after some investigation, they knew that they had alarmed the palace, so they made up their minds to bury a long line and not get out of it...... All the ants that stand in the way have to be swept away, and Xu Jin and Shen Ling are the two ridiculous ants that stand in the way.

All in order to cooperate with Xu Qingke's "Fierce Tide" coup d'Γ©tat.

Even yourself...... It's no exception.

No wonder he was absorbed into the Law Enforcement Division, so smoothly under Gongsun Yue's door.

It is no wonder that after the fierce tide, Gongsun Yue took over the largest intelligence agency in the Great Sui...... But he never let himself touch the slightest core secret.

A secret buried deep in his heart.

In Gongsun Yue's heart, it is not a secret at all.

What a ridiculous thing......

He hated the murderer to the marrow.

It was he who had been in Tiandu for so many years...... The only friend.

(Happy August to everyone~)
