The night grew darker.

Stars dot the night sky.

It was very quiet in the Xuan Zheng Division.

Xu Hexian slowly put down the paperwork in his hand and said with a smile: "With the dual identity of a disciple of the Palace Sword Academy and a member of the Heavenly Cardinal Council, how can I say that I am also a character in the capital, but I didn't expect it to be involved in four murders, which is really interesting." ”

Like Zhu Zaitian's thoughts, Pei Ruyu of Yingshui Town is a cultivator after all, and the incident did not happen in the capital, Xuan Zhengsi's hand is not stretched out that long, but the death of a royal historian and a general in the military department is related to Li Mengzhou, which is definitely not a trivial matter.

However, thinking about the identities of Taijing and Zhang Chong, Xu Hexian couldn't help but fall into a long period of contemplation.

He silently looked at the documents on the bookcase, and suddenly said: "The scene outside the gate of the palace asked, the dead disciple Zheng Qian, who did not fall into the mountain, was really done by Li Mengzhou?"

Because of the conclusive evidence that King Yu had a rebellion at that time, Xu Hexian and Qingyi were both ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to monitor King Yu's every move in the capital.

Asked about the decisive moment, Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue, including Tang Tian, who did not fall from the mountain, all had the conditions to commit murder, Xu Hexian also suspected it, but because his attention was on King Yu, he did not investigate deeply, but he didn't expect that this matter really had another hidden secret.

If this is the case, then the two assassins sent by King Yu who pretended to be disciples of the mountain were not aimed at Zheng Qian, but Li Mengzhou, but there were some accidents in the middle, and the two assassins and Zheng Qian were all dead.

There are already clear rules in the capital, as long as the cultivators don't kill ordinary people, or make too much trouble in the capital, the court won't care, Li Mengzhou is a disciple of the Sword Academy, Zheng Qian is a disciple of the Mountain Sect, even if Zheng Qian was killed by Li Mengzhou, the Xuanzheng Division is not qualified to go to the trial, it is a matter of the two major cultivation mountain gates, and they need to solve it themselves.

Zhu Zaitian replied at this time: "The subordinates of this matter can't find any useful evidence, but Li Mengzhou was present at the time, and he has a grudge with Zheng Qian, Li Mengzhou is qualified and has the most motive to kill." ”

Compared with this incident, the death of Zhang Chong, the general of the military department, is traceable, and it seems that it was Li Mengzhou who blocked the road at night and killed people on the unmanned streets at night in order to be gentle with a Qing man in the township. ”

"But what is more suspicious is that when Zhang Chong was killed, Li Mengzhou didn't seem to have advanced to the realm of Yuanyou, and he wasn't even a cultivator, I really couldn't figure out how he killed Zhang Chong in the third realm, not to mention that Zhang Chong still had attendants around him to protect him. ”

The death of Pei Ruyu in Yingshui Town, Li Mengzhou has already stepped into the third realm after all, and it is not completely impossible to kill Pei Ruyu who is a little higher than the realm, but Zhang Chong's death is very strange, even if Li Mengzhou's qualifications are demonic, it is impossible to kill the cultivators of the third realm when he has not stepped into the cultivation path.

It is precisely because there are great doubts in these murders, and even those that cannot be ignored, even if Zhu Zaitian investigates that Li Mengzhou is present to prove that these murders are present, he really can't find out how Li Mengzhou did it.

There was a lot of heat in the room with the doors and windows closed, and Zhu Zaitian subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead as he spoke.

Xu Hexian was silent.

Putting aside the matter of Pei Ruyu and Zheng Qian, after all, Taijing and Zhang Chong are court officials, one died in the capital, and the other died outside the capital, which can be equivalent to the most serious case the year before last, and it has not been solved until now.

Xu Hexian has reason to believe that even if Li Mengzhou is really evil to that extent, it will never be without flaws, and there must be someone behind him to wipe his ass, and the only one who has the ability and reason to do so is the Heavenly Lord's Court.

In other words, even if he guesses the truth of the facts, he can't come up with absolute evidence, and the only one with obvious clues is the gentle Qingqi man who will naturally be very critical.

However, Xu Hexian is in this position, and he knows the background of Gentle Township better than ordinary people, and he can't do it without any scruples to target Gentle Township, and since Li Mengzhou is willing to kill Zhang Chong for a Qinglou woman, the relationship between the two must be very unusual, and it will not be easy to get the Qinglou woman to come forward to identify him.

Come to think of it, things still seem to be in a very complicated situation, and it takes a lot of time to use formal means, and now there is not that much time.

Xu Hexian looked up at Zhu Zaitian, thinking that maybe he still had to use the original plan.

......

Li Mengzhou didn't have the ability to predict like a divine arithmetic, but he thought that Xuan Zhengsi should not be so upright, so he had been making preparations, and when night fell today, he faintly sensed an unusual killing intent from the fluctuations of the aura wandering between heaven and earth.

He wouldn't have asked for trouble, he could have used the power of the Heavenly Council or the Palace Sword Academy to settle the matter, but after the Xuanzheng Division found out the origin of the so-called murder of Taijing, then whether it is true or not, the Heavenly Council should avoid suspicion, who made Li Mengzhou the new Qingjiu of the Heavenly Council.

Qingyi came forward to stop Zhu Zaitian's actions, and there were problems in itself, and it was impossible to continue to prevaricate with this rhetoric, otherwise the entire Heavenly Council would be involved.

Although Taijing is not a very important figure in the court, he belongs to the second position in the Yushitai after all, and his assassination is not something that can be mixed up casually.

Especially once the Heavenly Council is also involved, even a small matter will become a big thing.

Of course, the premise is also that there has been no movement in the Heavenly Council in recent days, and Li Mengzhou does not know what Jiang Tingyu's final attitude is, if he decides to watch, even if he comes to the door to ask for help, it is meaningless.

The killing of Taijing is absolutely unadmitted, and the Xuan Zhengsi has already called the door, and Li Mengzhou is unwilling to continue to sit idly by.

Under the cover of night, Li Mengzhou held a sword in his left hand and looked out of the wide open courtyard gate, looking indifferent.

Gu Shiyan was still sitting on the rattan chair under the eaves, silently wiping the sword.

The sound of footsteps in Chaosi Alley gradually became clear.

A flash of light flashed in Li Mengzhou's eyes, and his right hand slowly pressed the hilt of the sword, not only being ready for battle, but of course always having the initiative to draw the sword at the first time.

The night was already very deep, and the lights in the entire Chaosi Alley had been extinguished, so it seemed very quiet, and the small courtyard was the only place where the lights were still on, as if it was guiding the direction of those who appeared in the Chaosi Alley.

The sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Li Mengzhou narrowed his eyes and slowly clenched his right hand holding the hilt of the sword.

The first to cross the threshold is still old acquaintances.

Zhu Zaitian held the knife in his hand, and his gaze at Li Mengzhou was very flat, but if he looked closely, he could still find a trace of weirdness faintly appearing in his eyes.

"Looks like you know I'm coming. ”

"A few days ago, I blatantly planted the blame, and now I choose to play some dirtier methods in the middle of the night, isn't it normal, but I have a deeper understanding of your Xuanzheng Division. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't say what he felt about Xuan Zhengsi, aside from the fact that they deliberately blamed him, in fact, no one was right or wrong in this matter itself, after all, Li Mengzhou did do some bad things, and Xuan Zhengsi wanted to come to him for trouble, which was originally his duty.

He looked at Zhu Zaitian who was standing in the courtyard and said, "Since you appear here, you don't plan to speak with evidence, so I have nothing to say, and I can't do it if I am restrained, so I can only resist." ”

Zhu Zaitian said: "I didn't come alone. ”

Li Mengzhou said with a smile: "I know, because I heard more than one person's footsteps, but I still want to remind you that you didn't dare to swing a knife in Chaosi Lane a few days ago, so it's best to find more people, and your cultivation can't be lower than you, otherwise you may not be able to get out of Chaosi Lane tonight." ”

Zhu Zaitian frowned, bypassed Li Mengzhou and looked at the girl who was calmly wiping the sword under the eaves, and said with some self-deprecation and unwillingness: "This girl doesn't even bother to look at me, although there are many cultivators who have entered the Four Realms at a young age in the entire world, but the existence of crossing the upper realm is not easy to see, at least in this capital, there are a few, and the details of each person, I Xuanzheng Division is very clear." ”

"I haven't seen the girl, but the girl is much stronger than me, so I have also investigated it in the past few days, but unfortunately the time is limited, and there are too few traces of you in the capital, I can only figure out which mountain gate you are from the Western Jin Dynasty, but I don't know. ”

Gu Shiyan didn't pay attention to Zhu Zaitian, and was still wiping the sword body very seriously.

Zhu Zaitian's face was not good-looking, he looked at Li Mengzhou again, and said: "Those armor soldiers outside the gate of the courtyard are all cultivators of the third realm, and there are no other squires of the same level as me, but in order to complete the task as quickly and smoothly, my Xuanzheng Division sent a sword, many people in the capital city do not know the existence of this sword, but his sharpness is enough to cut everything in the world." ”

His expression gradually became calm, and there was even some madness, as if he had absolute confidence in the sword in the Xuan Zheng Division.

Li Mengzhou was silent.

Consciousness wanders beyond the courtyard walls.

There are many Xuanzheng Division's armor soldiers standing there, even if there is no shortage of people with the pinnacle of the Three Realms, it is difficult for him to take it seriously.

As his vision swept over the armor warriors, he saw an unusual person.

He was dressed in the costume of the Genseisi Division, but it was not the same as that of the ordinary members, and he was very young.

He clutched his sword in both hands and kept his head down.

At the moment when Li Mengzhou's fugue power was close, he slowly raised his head, and the two of them seemed to be looking at each other across the wall, but they could see each other very clearly.

In just a short breath, Li Mengzhou's mind seemed to be pricked by a needle, his vision became blurred, his fugue power was disconnected, a muffled snort came from his mouth, and his face turned pale in an instant.
