Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 140 All Beings (4)

This person's name is Zhao Xun, and he was also a generation of handsome when he was young, and his cultivation qualifications are better than Zhao Ning's father, Zhao Beiwang. So although he was born to Zhao Xuanji's concubine, he also has an extraordinary status in the Zhao family.

After becoming an adult, Zhao Xun went to Yanmen Pass to serve, and in the third year, he took a team of subordinates to inspect the grassland tribes, and fell in love with the daughter of a chieftain, so he wanted to bring the other party back, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the first warrior of that tribe.

In order to compete for that grassland beauty, the two had a fair contest, and Zhao Xun, who was not far from the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm at that time, was defeated by the grassland cultivator in public, and he was not lightly injured.

Born in Jiangmen, and was favored by Xiao, Zhao Xun is also an unruly character, plus he was still young at the time, he couldn't afford to lose this face, he couldn't swallow this breath, and the chief's daughter was also fond of him, so he refused to admit defeat and took the other party to slip away at night.

Unexpectedly, this move was discovered by the tribal warrior, and he led people to catch up halfway, and this time the two sides were a real fierce battle.

Zhao Xun, who was already injured, was undoubtedly defeated, and because the other party shot too hard, he damaged the foundation of his cultivation, and since then, he has not made any progress in cultivation, and several of his men have been killed and injured.

Afterwards, although Zhao Xun was personally sent back to Yanmen Pass by the tribal chief who did not dare to offend the Zhao family and was nervous, and prepared a generous gift to make amends, Zhao Xun's mind and self-esteem were greatly hit, and he felt shameless.

After seeing Zhao Xuanji at Yanmen Pass, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, but fortunately Zhao Beiwang found out in time and stopped him, and he has been by his side since then.

Zhao Xun didn't die, but he also collapsed, and never showed up in front of people easily, left Yanmen Pass and returned to Yanping City, and all day long, he either locked himself in the room and drank, or went to the Qinglou.

It's already like eating and waiting to die.

People who are smooth sailing are the most unable to withstand setbacks, and young and prominent people are the most unbearable to fail.

Over the years, Zhao Xun only returned to the rivers and lakes to wander around, and when he came back, he brought back Zhao Yujie, the other party's father, who was one of his subordinates who died that day.

Zhao Xun also felt guilty, so he wanted to compensate Zhao Yujie.

That battle was a very faceless thing for Zhao and Daqi, the point was not because of a woman, but because Zhao Xun lost twice and folded a few subordinates.

Therefore, at that time, Zhao Xuanji discussed with the uneasy tribal chieftain, and said that Zhao Xun's injuries and the losses of his subordinates were caused by helping the tribe exterminate a horse thief.

In this way, those Zhao Xun's subordinates who died also had the reputation and treatment of dying for the country. After all, all the grassland tribes were nominally subservient to Daqi, and the garrison of Yanmen Pass had the duty to inspect the nearby grasslands.

Counting, it was ten years ago, when Zhao Xuanji was not the governor of the capital, but the chief general of Yanmen Pass, and the great-ancestor of the Zhao family was still alive.

Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Xun and withdrew his gaze.

The other party's crime happened last night.

As usual, at night, Zhao Xun went to a green building drunk, drank and had fun with a few familiar Qingqier, and lingered in the middle of the night.

The problem is also here, the Qingqi'er who accompanied Zhao Xun overnight was killed by Zhao Xun.

This kind of thing, you can imagine how big the impact is.

Before coming to Dali Temple, Zhao Ning had already asked Yipinlou to check this matter and chatted with Zhao Xun for a while.

Originally, according to Zhao Xun's self-abandoning temperament, it was impossible to tell Zhao Ning about this, but after many cases broke out and the Zhao family fell into a crisis, Zhao Xun knew everything.

Although Zhao Xun has been self-exiled, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very shrewd, even if he is drunk, he remembers the events and circumstances at that time very clearly, which is not comparable to Zhao Lie, who has no scheming.

The problem is here, Zhao Xun also didn't find anything abnormal last night.

If there is anything special, it is nothing more than that Qingqi'er, who is familiar with him, seems to be much weaker last night, not too energetic, otherwise he would not have been killed, but there are no obvious injuries.

In addition, Zhao Xun was in a high mood last night.

But this is not a problem, Zhao Xun has been wandering for so many years, his body has long been hollowed out by wine, and the spirit of Ryoma is maintained by the medicine of the tiger and wolf. It was the same last night.

Zhao Ning asked the people of Yipinlou to check the Qinglou, but the final result was not good, the dead Qing Qi'er, and the other people in the Qinglou, including the old bustard, did not design or participate in the design of Zhao Xun.

Things are tricky.

Zhao Ning is not surprised by this, the conspiracy to harm people, regardless of whether it is the person who is bought or the person who is bought, the fewer people involved, the better, so that the action can be more hidden, and the less likely it is to be found out afterwards.

Like the dock murder case and the Shimen County dam fighting case, Chen Yi and Feng San are all flaws.

Although the Mendi had already controlled them and their families, and it was seamless under normal circumstances, it still allowed Zhao Ning to find a breakthrough.

In Zhao Lie's case, there were a lot fewer operators, and the tuberculosis ruffian died on the spot, and there were even fewer traces. But there is still that Jingzhao Mansion official who can be caught by Zhao Ning.

In Zhao Xun's case, there is no one who can be investigated.

There are not many such cases, and the vast majority of harmful things need to be done, and there are no people to do it, and there is no ghost to drive them.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ning deduced the situation last night.

Zhao Xun's tiger and wolf medicine may have been dropped and replaced with a more ferocious one.

But that wasn't enough for him to kill a young man alive.

So there must be something wrong with that Qingqi'er himself.

The other party may have also been secretly drugged, causing the body to suddenly become weak and fragile, so that he could not bear the tossing in the middle of the night.

Since the people in Qinglou were not involved in this matter, the people who changed the medicine and gave the medicine may be the elite of the family's arrangement.

The other party may have pretended to be a guest, kept staring at Zhao Xun, and when the tiger and wolf medicine was served, he passed by the guy, relying on his own cultivation, and secretly put a certain medicine into it.

It's even easier to drug that Qingqi'er, as long as the other party can eat and drink, there will definitely be a chance.

It's not just the method of drugged, since it's a disciple cultivator, you can completely pretend to knock down the other party when you pass by with Qing Qi'er, leaving a secret wound on the other party's heart, and as long as you exercise vigorously, you will die.

This doorman disguised as a guest will definitely leave quickly afterwards and go into hiding. For this person, no matter how capable the people in Yipinlou are, it is impossible to trace it, after all, there are too many guests in and out of the Qinglou.

The medicine given to Zhao Xun and that Qingqi'er, they ate it, and there was no trace, even if there were residues, or there were residues in the soup bowls and teacups, those residues, soup bowls, and teacups could also be taken away by the minions of the door.

In this way, the human and physical evidence is gone.

The investigation of Yipinlou confirmed these speculations of Zhao Ning.

The current situation is untraceable.

In order to act in front of the eyes of Tang Xing, the emperor, Zhao Ning still asked Zhao Xun some questions on the spot.

At the end, Zhao Xun, whose eyes were gloomy and had nothing to love, said:

"If my grievances cannot be washed away, I am willing to die to apologize. Use my life to compensate for the life of a clear child, and no one can say anything. Although Zhao's family voice will be affected, it will not be too big. ”

Zhao Ning has long seen that Zhao Xun has no expectations for life.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, such a muddy and hopeless life, every day is a kind of torture, since life is endless pain, death is also a relief.

After ten years of hopeless life, it's normal to want to end it.

Zhao Ning didn't allow such a thing to happen, he turned to Tang Xing and said: "That Qing'er's death, in the final analysis, was because he was poisoned or was secretly injured, and when he did an autopsy, he should be able to find out some clues." "If there is no suspicion in the work, then there is a problem with the work, and it is not difficult to find out who gave him advice. ”

Tang Xing is a smart person, he also thought of this just now, after listening to Zhao Ning's words, he was about to answer, Zhao Xun suddenly said:

"If the poison in that Qingqi'er only made her weak and unable to withstand the impact, this is not a deadly poison, and I can't say that her death has nothing to do with me;

"If she was suffering a dark injury, then it was possible that the cultivator had just blocked her heart with her true qi and was unable to breathe violently. Then after she dies, this true breath will also dissipate, leaving no trace of it. ”

This is indeed true.

Zhao Ning did not speak.

Tang Xing chuckled, "As long as she is poisoned, it proves that there is something wrong with her death, and as for how big the problem is, the government has the final say;

"If she is secretly injured, there may indeed be no traces, but whether there is any residual true qi is also up to the government. ”

After that, Tang Xing went to the door, explained to an official for a while, and asked the other party to do something.

Although he is not an official of Dali Temple, he is one of the people who are most familiar with Zhao Ning among the officials of the Hanmen, and this time he is by Zhao Ning's side, responsible for coordinating the cooperation between Zhao Ning and the officials of Dali Temple, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly, didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhao Ning more.

The flaws in this case can be said to be negligible, if not nil. But this can't bear to have its own people in the government, as long as it is the official who investigates the case, then what the outcome of the case is, the government has the final say.

Mo said that there is no suspicion to create suspicion, and there is no evidence to create evidence, not to mention that this case is not half of the place where there is no traceability.

What Zhao Xun didn't expect was that Tang Xing and others would help the Zhao family so much. But whatever Zhao Ning wants to do, the other party will immediately mobilize the power of Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion, and there is almost no bottom-line support.

Yes, there is no bottom line, no black and white, no right or wrong, only a set goal to be achieved.

This made Zhao Xun, who was not very clear about the struggle between the Zhao family and the family this time, and his evaluation of Zhao Ning in his heart rose several steps. Obviously, the other party is presiding over the overall situation on the Zhao side.

I don't know how much preparation Zhao Ning made and how much hard work and sweat he put in before this.

This sixteen-year-old heir to the head of the family is thoughtful, calculating, and has the wisdom of power struggle that ordinary generals do not have.

In front of Zhao Ning, an outstanding junior, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel ashamed.

As soon as this shame appeared, it became extremely intense, and in a short time it completely occupied his heart, making him miserable.

As a once famous genius of the Zhao family, Zhao Xun also had a glorious past, and when he was young, he thought very highly of himself and wanted to contribute to the family.

And now, he still needs a sixteen-year-old junior to rescue him, clear his grievances, and make sure that he will not interfere with the Zhao family. Zhao Xun has never felt that he is so defeated and so unbearable.

He has no place to be ashamed.

He didn't think he should go down like this walking dead again.

He still has self-esteem, although it is not much, but it is this self-esteem that makes him unable to face the Zhao family at this moment, let alone Zhao Ning, who has worked hard for the family.

Even if he becomes a "waste man", he can't allow himself to become a pest of the family.

Zhao Ning saw the pain in Zhao Xun's eyes.

This comforted him.

He remembered what Zhao Yujie said in his previous life after betraying the Zhao family.

The meaning of that sentence is that Zhao Xun adopted her, just to see her appearance, she was greedy for her body, ill-intentioned, and immoral, so she should betray the Zhao family, and she didn't need to feel guilty.

But Zhao Ning knew that although Zhao Xun was lustful, he was not so bottomless, and he had no idea about Zhao Yujie.

Next, Zhao Ning continued to arrange to solve other difficult murder cases.
