Chapter 148, the undercurrent under the calm

Ling Rui put Ling Xuan down, and Ling Xuan suddenly felt his body ache, so he sat aside to rest.

After coming over for a while, Ling Xuan knew that Ling Rui had something to say to him, so he took the lead and said, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Ling Rui said softly: "Your Majesty has asked me to investigate the case of Yan Fu's death, and my father is very worried about your comfort, so I will come to see you, otherwise my father will not be able to rest assured." ”

As he spoke, Ling Rui's eyes looked at Ling Xuan, seeing his weak appearance, his brows tightened slightly, thinking that the prison guard said that Zhao Hai had come, he wondered if he had done anything to Ling Xuan, but it could be seen that Ling Xuan did not have any scars on his body, and he couldn't help but wonder, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, Zhao Hai has been here, but what has he done to you?"

Ling Xuan was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine." ”

He didn't intend to tell Ling Rui something, even if Zhao Hai had done something to him, he couldn't do anything without any evidence, even if there was evidence, Ling Xuan really didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he simply didn't do anything to make others worry.

Seeing Ling Xuan shaking his head, Ling Rui didn't have any doubts, so he didn't ask anything more.

Ling Xuan asked, "By the way, big brother, what did Yan Fu's death find?"

Hearing this, Ling Rui glanced at Ling Xuan, his face showed hesitation, as if he had something to hide, but finally spoke, "Do you remember the case of the official being killed last time?"

Ling Xuan nodded.

Of course he remembered, so to speak, that it was the biggest battle scene he had ever seen.

Not to mention the battle, the name of the Sword Saint alone made him unforgettable.

Ling Rui said: "I suspect that this death may be related to the last time an official was killed. And...... In fact, the murderer is not simple, if you don't guess wrong, the murderer should be a person from the Demon Domain. ”

"People of the Demon Realm?"

Ling Xuan's heart was suddenly shocked, and then his expression changed slightly, thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

Ling Rui sighed slightly and said, "Although the modus operandi of the two cases is different, it has to be reminiscent. ”

"What's the difference in modus operandi?" Ling Xuan asked.

"In the last case of the killing of officials, the fatal injuries of the deceased were more casual and in different positions, obviously, the murderer just wanted to take their lives, and did not care what form it was, but this time the death of Yan Xuan was different, the difference was that his fatal wound was in the neck, the wound was very deep, and it seemed that only a light stroke of the murder weapon was needed, which seemed very deliberate and formal. ”

Ling Xuan said, "Big Brother means that the murderer is specially here for Yan Fu, that is, to ask for his life?"

Ling Rui nodded and said: "That's right, this is the difference between the two cases, but I always feel that the two cases must be related, especially since the murderer in the previous case is a person from the Demon Domain, I'm afraid the murder is not simple." ”

Ling Xuan frowned and asked, "Big brother, are you sure that the killing of the official was done by the people of the Demon Domain?"

Ling Rui nodded, very sure: "The murderer must be from the Demon Domain. ”

Ling Xuan's face was gloomy and he nodded, he believed Ling Rui.

It's just that......

Ling Xuan muttered in a low voice, "Then what was their purpose in killing Yan Fu?"

Ling Rui's eyebrows relaxed, looked at Ling Xuan and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, third brother, I took over this case, and you will be safe in prison in the future, but the murderer has not been caught, and he can't prove your innocence, so I have to wronged you in this dungeon first." ”

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, eldest brother can handle the case with peace of mind, don't worry about me." ”

Ling Rui patted Ling Xuan's shoulder and didn't say anything more.

...

The door of the interrogation room was opened, Ling Xuan walked out, and was taken by the prison guards to a very clean cell, Ling Rui solemnly explained to the prison guards: "You need to take good care of this person, you must not hurt him in the slightest, and you must not make any mistakes, and report any situation to me in time." ”

After speaking, Ling Rui hurriedly left.

......

Zhao Mansion, backyard.

In a unique pavilion filled with the fragrance of flowers and surrounded by flowers and plants, two middle-aged men sit.

It can be seen from it that they are all capable people who are very deep in the city.

Zhao Chuan and Mrs. Yan have close contacts on weekdays, and this is the norm.

Today is different.

The difference is that they don't drink tea today, they drink wine.

Zhao Chuan poured two glasses of wine, handed a glass to Mrs. Yan, and slowly spoke: "The old man knows that the master is not in a good mood today, so he specially found some good wine to relieve the worry of the master. ”

Mrs. Yan didn't speak, her face was gloomy, and she picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Chuan poured another cup for Mrs. Yan and said, "I hope that Mrs. Yan will mourn for the affairs of his virtuous nephew, let go of his mood, don't be too painful, and his body should be important." ”

Mrs. Yan exhaled and said, "The old man has been an official for decades, and he has encountered a lot of big and small storms, one after another, and a lot of things have been seen one by one, so there is no need to worry about this for the country." ”

Zhao Chuan said: "This is naturally the best." ”

Afterwards, Zhao Chuan took a sip of his wine glass and said, "Now under the light and calm appearance of the Holy Heaven City, there is already an undercurrent, and the situation has gradually changed. ”

Mrs. Yan said, "What does Zhengguo want to say?"

Zhao Chuan said: "In fact, in the case of the last official being killed, the old man had already found some clues, but he didn't say much, and hid it in his heart, in fact, the murderer of the official was a person from the Demon Domain." ”

"What?

Mrs. Yan was immediately shocked when she heard this, and her face was very ugly.

Zhao Chuan nodded calmly.

Mrs. Yan frowned and said, "Zhengguo wants to say that Fu'er's death was also done by the people of the Demon Domain?"

Zhao Chuan put down his wine glass and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

"Actually, I did not report this matter to Your Majesty. And in addition to me, there were other people who found out about this matter, and at that time the case was handed over to Xuan Shizi, who saw the fight between the sword saint and the murderer with his own eyes. Therefore, Xuan Shizi should also know the identity of the murderer, therefore, King Xuan should also know, and he has not reported it to His Majesty. ”

Mrs. Yan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does Zhengguo mean ......?"

Zhao Chuan drank another glass of wine and said, "I think it's time to inform Your Majesty about this matter, I'm afraid that the development of the situation is beyond our control, and maybe there will be a greater impact." ”

Mrs. Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.

......

As time passes, the sun tilts and the light goes from bland to blazing to dim.

The patrol team in the Holy Heaven City has doubled, and ironclad soldiers can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Although the people walking through the lively street market were puzzled when they saw this, they didn't pay much attention to it, as if nothing happened.

The door of the Qingqing Pharmacy was open, but not many people came, perhaps because it was newly opened.

Of course, this is what Yelan wants to see, after all, the pharmacy is just a hiding place, a disguise. The more people come, the more likely it is to have problems.

Looking at the ironclad soldiers passing by.

Yelan's face did not change, he was still calm, but his eyes revealed thoughtfulness.
