Chapter 66: Names that Disappear and Reappear
"Xuanzheng Division handles the case!
At the same time as Li Mengzhou turned around, he also heard this shout very clearly.
Faced with a black robe wrapped in a black robe and a sword at his waist, the armor soldier stepped on a heavy and neat step and descended on the market.
The appearance of these people was very abrupt, and the shout was like thunder.
For a while, the people in the entire market noticed, no matter what they were doing, their eyes were all in the direction of the market entrance.
The people have a natural sense of fear of the people in the yamen, not to mention that in terms of actual power, the Xuanzheng Division has to overpower Jingzhao Mansion, for ordinary people, it is simply a beast-like existence.
Those who could run began to run, and those who couldn't run away for a while also hid in stalls or shops, and in a short period of time, the center of the market street became empty, leaving only Li Mengzhou standing at the entrance of the market street.
This also shows how much the Xuan Zheng Division has a deterrent effect on ordinary people, and they all seem to have scuds, and they run faster than the other.
Li Mengzhou looked down at a watermelon that rolled to his feet, and sighed a little wordlessly.
Although he hadn't thought of it beforehand, he knew in his heart that he might be in some trouble today.
Because the leader of those Xuanyi armor soldiers is an old acquaintance.
Once in Li Mengzhou, he was forced by Gu Shiyan's 'kindness', and sneaked into Taijing's mansion at night, and then was visited by Xuan Zhengsi's man in the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane, and the leader of the troops at that time was the middle-aged man in front of him.
Because of the appearance of Jiang Tingyu, the one who sweated and obediently withdrew from Chaosi Lane was also this middle-aged man.
The Great Monk who advanced to the Four Realms.
Li Mengzhou thought that he shouldn't have done anything too high-profile recently, why did he provoke the old acquaintance of Xuan Zhengsi, who couldn't avoid him?
In addition to the case of the killing of Taijing, which was temporarily suppressed, it can only be a matter of Swallow Town if it can be found by the Xuan Zheng Division.
But a short time has passed since the assassination of Taijing, and Li Mengzhou also believes that the matter of the Kui family in Yanzi Town should not have been reported to the capital, otherwise something should have been done a long time ago, and it would be impossible to find him directly.
But in addition, Li Mengzhou couldn't think of why this scene happened, and secretly guessed that something was wrong?
Or is it because Yue Shiting has long known about the affairs of Swallow Town, and he didn't have time to act because of the Panlong Banquet before, but now he finally started to act with the help of Xuan Zhengsi's hand?
The only thing that made Li Mengzhou feel that there was a loophole was whether Yue Shiting arranged eyeliner at the Kui family in Yanzi Town, and whether that eyeliner died that night.
When he couldn't find any signs of Yue Shiting's abnormality, Li Mengzhou could only deduce that the eyeliner arranged by him in the Kui family was dead, but if the appearance of the Xuanzheng Division's people in the market was really related to Yue Shiting, then his previous estimation was completely wrong.
Of course, he won't say what he thinks in his heart, and he will never admit it, Li Mengzhou watched Xuan Zhengsi's people besiege him, and the middle-aged man stood in front of him, staring at him with cold eyes, so he stretched out very comfortably, yawned, and laughed softly: "What is the purpose of this adult stopping me on the street?"
As a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, in addition to facing the court giants of the level of the head of the five divisions, he is not suppressed by ordinary officials, even if Li Mengzhou is not in the court, but his status is not beyond the reach of ordinary officials.
Even if the middle-aged man has a lot of power within the Xuanzheng Division, but in fact, the official position is not high, in addition to Xu Hexian, the head of the Xuanzheng Division, there are many subordinate officials and servants who perform their duties within the jurisdiction.
It is equivalent to the right-hand man of the head of the first division, even if the position in the Xuanzheng Division is second only to the head of the department, but in the entire court, he is not a big man, and he can only barely be at the intermediate level.
Zhu Zaitian is one of the Xuanzheng Division's attendants, not the strongest, but the most loyal to Xu Hexian, so Xu Hexian is also willing to use him more.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Zaitian was ordered to investigate Li Mengzhou, who lived in Chaosi Lane, thinking that it was just a very simple matter, but he did not expect that in the end, he provoked the head of the Heavenly Privy Yuan, and had to leave in embarrassment.
Although Xu Hexian did not blame him afterwards, Zhu Zaitian could not forget his unbearable appearance at that time, and because there was an unwarranted intersection between Jiang Tingyu and Li Mengzhou, Xu Hexian put a lot of attention on the young man who was rising quickly in the Palace Sword Academy.
And Zhu Zaitian also volunteered and began to secretly investigate everything about Li Mengzhou after he appeared in the capital, and recently really found some problems that were easy to ignore.
That is, Li Mengzhou has been to Tongming Lane more than once.
Maybe ordinary people can't connect anything from Tongming Lane, but as Xu Hexian, who regards Jiang Tingyu as his sworn enemy, he knows that Tongming Lane is the only place where Jiang Tingyu stays outside the palace.
From this, a number of questions can be deduced.
Zhu Zaitian thought about what Xu Hexian had said to him before, and looked at Li Mengzhou even more unfriendly.
......
In the early hours of this morning, before the dawn of the day, Xu Hexian got up from the bed.
He didn't have a wife, and he didn't have a maid to warm the bed, and he didn't need a warm bed at this time.
Pushing open the door, the stars were still twinkling in the sky, and the moonlight was dim, for the morning sun was about to rise.
Xu Hexian lived in the Xuanzheng Division, as if this was his home, and listening to the miserable screams coming from the prison every night, he felt that he would definitely have a good dream again tonight.
Zhu Zaitian appeared under the eaves, bowed and saluted, and said, "I've seen the head of the house." β
Xu Hexian put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about the recent investigation, and said in a gloomy voice: "Although the nameless corpses that died in the capital years ago have been dealt with by very professional means, if you think about the problems more carefully, you can also find that these dead people have appeared outside Chaosi Lane. β
"And all this happened after Li Mengzhou lived in Chaosi Lane, which was originally something that was not cared about, but the interesting thing is that the person who helped Li Mengzhou buy the courtyard seems to have something to do with the Heavenly Lord's Court. β
"Don't you think it's interesting to link everything from Li Mengzhou's many appearances in Tongming Lane and when he listened to the rain in Chaosi Lane on Chinese New Year's Eve?"
Since Xu Hexian thought it was very interesting, then Zhu Zaitian would also find it interesting, but he knew that now was not the time to laugh, so he said very seriously: "According to the secret agent arranged by the head of the department to report in the Heavenly Privy Council, on the day Li Mengzhou came to the capital, it happened to be the day when Qing Jiu of the Heavenly Patriarchate carried the secret report of King Yu's rebellion all the way back to the capital. β
"In the eyes of outsiders, there is nothing wrong with this, but the strange thing is that Qing Jiu's name has been crossed out on the Tianshu list for a short time, but whenever the name is crossed out, it means that this person has been sacrificed, but in less than half a day, Qing Jiu's name appeared on the list again. β
"This was originally a very easy thing to investigate, but because no one paid attention to this point, it was not until recently that his subordinates secretly investigated Li Mengzhou on the order of the head of the department, and they found this clue. Combined with Li Mengzhou's close contacts with the Heavenly Council both openly and secretly, his subordinates couldn't help but have a bold conjecture. β
Speaking of this, Zhu Zaitian kept silent and just looked at Xu Hexian.
Xu Hexian admired Zhu Zaitian's attitude, and said with a smile: "The Heavenly Council will not make such a low-level mistake, it is not a trivial matter to have a member sacrificed, and it needs to be reported to His Majesty to know, if you make the decision to cross out the names on the list of members at will, even Jiang Tingyu can't afford this responsibility." β
"Qing Jiu must be dead, but since the name appears again, it means that someone has inherited this code name. β
The Heavenly Council is the most powerful intelligence agency in the Jiang Kingdom, and the information of its members is highly confidential, and life and death are also major matters, even if they are deceived when necessary, they must obtain the permission of His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if Jiang Tingyugui is the head of the Heavenly Council, he does not have the right to cross out the names of the undead members at will, unless that member betrays the Heavenly Council, and it is not as simple as crossing out the names of the betrayers.
And after the rules of the Heavenly Council became more and more stringent, there were few things that the people of the Heavenly Council would betray.
Then after Qingjiu's name was crossed out, it quickly reappeared, and there was a big problem.
Zhu Zaitian thought about these things, and he had absolute reason to suspect that Li Mengzhou was the one who inherited the Qingjiu codename.
Xuan Zhengsi did not investigate the relationship between Li Mengzhou and the murder of Taijing, but for Xu Hexian, the relationship between Li Mengzhou and Jiang Tingyu was enough for him to do something.
This seems to be the duty of the Xuan Zheng Division, but it is actually full of selfishness.
Li Mengzhou's suspicion of the matter of the Kui family in Yanzi Town under his perception was reasonable, but he never dreamed that Xuan Zhengsi's action against him this time was completely a fight between Xu Hexian and Jiang Tingyu.
It's just that because Xu Hexian discovered Li Mengzhou's identity as a member of the Heavenly Council, the real target is still Jiang Tingyu, and Li Mengzhou is just Xu Hexian's pawn to make trouble for Jiang Tingyu.
The purpose is to blame Li Mengzhou, and to implicate Li Mengzhou in the nameless murder cases in the capital and the cases of Taijing, so that Jiang Tingyu will be anxious.
In terms of the overall situation, Xu Hexian's actions are very naΓ―ve, because this cannot cause substantial harm to Jiang Tingyu, but if Li Mengzhou's crime is implemented, as a member of the Heavenly Council for murdering court officials, Jiang Tingyu, as the head of the court, will not be able to escape the blame, even if he cannot be dismissed because of this, he will be greatly affected.
When Xu Hexian and Zhu Zaitian were planning this matter, they never thought that those nameless murders were indeed assassins sent by King Yu who were secretly solved by the Heavenly Council to protect Li Mengzhou's safety.
This can be regarded as a coincidence that there is no book, and the blame is secretly blamed, but it is blamed on the main owner.
