Chapter 339: Strange Fog
After returning from the Ministry of Communications, Ji Zhong locked himself in his office, pacing repeatedly, restless. "How did Guan He die! How did Guan He die!" he repeated these two sentences, his heart beating suddenly. "The thing on the wall belongs to the wolf clan...... It's the wolf clan. How did it appear there, how did it appear in the Ministry of Communications! Isn't it all cleared! Damn Guan He, could it be that he lied to me back then?
In the middle of the night, Yan Lu said outside his room: "Lord of the country." ”
"Come in!" Ji Zhong said loudly, "Have you received the news from the Hearing Department, and how did Guan He die?"
"Listening to Lin Cong's report, Guan He died of a heart attack. There has been no reply to the clue so far. Yan Lu said.
"Heart ......" Ji Zhong said with a frown, "How can it be a heart attack...... Lin Cong's explanation is the truth...... What does it mean that you haven't replied yet?"
"The body is still in the hands of the Hearing Department, and the clues have not been directly reported. I sent an inquiry, but he didn't respond. ”
"They're still checking ......," Ji Zhong thought, "Have the people from the Ministry of Military Affairs gone back?"
"It's also returned. ”
"There's really no clue about it...... Otherwise, the Ministry of Military Affairs would not have left so easily. Could it really be a heart attack?" Ji Zhong couldn't believe it.
"Father. At this time, Ji Shixian's voice sounded outside.
"It's so late, what is he doing here!" Ji Zhong has never liked his son very much, and he can't say why. When Ji Zhong and Hu Mei'er came back from the Western Fan Kingdom, Hu Mei'er became pregnant and soon gave birth to Ji Shixian. Whenever he saw Ji Shixian, Ji Zhong could remember that he was threatened by Shura. If he didn't agree to Shura to give him the family emblem back then, Shura dragged the naked Ji Zhong and Hu Mei'er and threw them in front of the Guozheng Hall in Xifan.
Ji Zhong is not Shura's opponent at all, and at that time, whether he admits to his reluctance or not, it will also make him lose face and lose his reputation. He couldn't take that risk. In addition, Ji Shixian's spiritual law is mediocre, which makes him feel that this son is not up to the task, so he has always been mean to him.
"Father, have you rested? ”
"I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Ji Zhong said impatiently. Ji Shixian waited outside the door for a long time and didn't see his father open the door, so he left alone. Soon after, Yan Lu also left. Ji Zhong sat alone on the soft sofa and was anxious. At that moment, the pot of long-letter grass on his desk blossomed, and a white petal grew. Ji Zhong was dazed and delirious, his eyes swept away, and his sleepiness was suddenly gone! He got up from the sofa, went straight to the long table, and pulled down the letter petal. I saw a few words written on it: "Ask to see the lord of the country and tell Guan He the truth." ”
After Ji Zhong finished reading it, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't wait for his fingertips to turn into ice, his hair to turn into frost, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. He shuddered as he held the fresh petal, which had not yet fully grown into a lettercard. This pot of Changxin Grass is the secret key of the Guozheng Hall, which records the spiritual patterns of Ji Zhong and his father Ji Yuan, and only the cronies of both of them at the same time can find them through this pot of Changxin Grass.
"It's not him, it's not him. Ji Zhong muttered, looking at the letter card in his hand, the note on it was not the person he expected. There is only one living person in the world today who knows the secret key of this long letter grass, and the other two are dead, but this trace is clearly not the living person. Ji Zhong's cold sweat broke out.
"Who is it, who the hell is it," Ji Zhong's lips began to tremble, "Donghua and Ye Youxin are both dead...... Who else will it be......"
Suddenly, another message came from the letter card: "Lord, I am here, please open the door." ”
As if he had seen a ghost, Ji Zhong threw away his letter card and stared at the door! Suddenly, there was a "knock" sound from under the floor of Ji Zhong's living room! Ji Zhong almost screamed out with a swing. "It's a ghost, it's a ghost!" he shouted in his heart, not daring to say anything. In a moment, the sound of tapping under the floor was heard again. Ji Zhong's face was bruised, and he shivered and said in fear: "Who!"
I only heard a soft voice coming from under the ground: "Lord of the country, my subordinates have something to tell you, and please open the secret passage." ”
Ji Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "It's not Donghua!" He boldly asked again: "Who are you! How can you know this secret way!"
A respectful voice came from under the floor: "I am the one who clears the obstacles for you, you open the secret door and know that if you are afraid and do not want to summon you, your subordinates will leave." ”
Ji Zhong gasped sharply, thought for a long time, raised his hand and waved, the heavy sunken wood desk was like a cargo box, which was easily moved aside by him, he stared at the floor under his feet, full of dust, that place has not been opened for ten years, since Donghua died. He mustered up his courage, and as soon as he opened up, the wooden floor under his feet was opened, and a hole appeared there. Slowly, a person walked out of it, his light brown hair obediently stuck to the sides of his face, his crooked smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, my subordinates have greeted you." ”
"It's you!" Ji Zhong said in surprise. The person in front of him was Lian Wu, the catcher of the prison department.
"It's the subordinates. When his subordinates came, they were offended, and they asked the lord of the country to surrender their crimes. But it happened suddenly, and the subordinates were anxious to report to the lord of the country, so as not to make the lord uneasy, and I ask for your forgiveness. Lian Wu bowed and reported, the etiquette was very thick, and he didn't dare to cross the distance.
"You, how do you know about this secret passage! and the secret key of this long letter grass!" Ji Zhong asked uneasy.
"It was found by a subordinate during a search of Tung Wah's confidential files. "Even the fog road.
As soon as he heard Donghua's name, Ji Zhong's hairs rose again, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "What do you have to do with Donghua!" I only heard Lian Wu say unhurriedly: "You forgot that your subordinates are Donghua's apprentices and Pei Xi's junior brothers." After Donghua's death, his subordinates came to Dongling Prison to make a living. ”
After Ji Zhong heard this, the spiritual power in his hand struck out instantly, and he didn't wait. I just saw that the spiritual power arrived in front of Lian Wu's body, exhaled, and melted. He didn't attack, he didn't resist, but melted Ji Zhong's spiritual power silently. I only saw that Lian Wu's body was bent lower. Pious Path:
"There is no malice in the subordinates coming here, and the lord of the country is asked to know. Donghua died early, Pei Xi defected, and his subordinates had nothing to do with them. The subordinates are alone in Dongling, just looking for an employer and a side to rely on. Now I want to do things for the country, share your worries for you, and hope that you will take a high look, so that I will no longer be trampled under their feet and let others trend. Donghua's lewd thief has done a lot of evil, early death is better, Pei Xi is uncertain, he doesn't look at me at all, why should I do things for them. In order to prove the clarity, the lord of the country is also asked to be clear. ”
"How do you know that Donghua is a thief, he took you as an apprentice, shouldn't you be grateful to Dade. Don't try to fool me with rhetoric. Why are you here today? If you don't believe it, you won't be able to get out of my National Hall!" Ji Zhong said.
"He raped my mother, killed my father, and harmed my entire tourist village, and I had no enmity with him, and I wanted to kill him with my own hands, but who would have thought that on the eve of my arrival in Dongling, he was already dead. Lian Wu said all this calmly.
