Chapter 54: Deyue Tower
Shi Ziling said: "Now that we have a basic clue about the ins and outs of the matter, all that remains is how to take out the royal secret record and arrest the murderer." ”
"But these two things are quite difficult to do, Mrs. Wuchen and I have some relationship, I didn't want to have more entanglements with her, but I didn't expect that now my duty is to have to arrest her. ”
"As for the mysterious sect leader behind her, it's even more troublesome. Let's not say that we don't know the details of Lu Dao, even if we know Lu Dao, with her strength, I'm afraid that it is not far from me, and it will be very difficult to capture her alive. There is also the 'Deyue Tower' is the property of the Xiahou family, if we go there to hunt for treasures, I don't know what trouble will be caused. ”
Ma Yu said with a smile: "Who made you also a contender for the nine-yuan clearance diagram, if you want to reach the legendary realm of transcendent sainthood, you can't hide from these troubles." ”
As far as I know, the place where Deyue Tower is located was not the property of the Xiahou family before, but later they spent a huge amount of money to buy this place in order to have a foundation in the prosperous and wealthy Songhu City, and built the current famous 'Deyue Tower'. ”
"It should have been a hundred years ago that the Huang Ting faction buried the royal secret record, at that time, the Xiahou family should not have bought this place, let alone built the Deyue Tower, so naturally they would not have thought that there would be such a royal secret record under this land. ”
Shi Ziling said: "From your point of view, should we go directly to the 'Deyue Tower' to see what is going on?"
Ma Yu said: "If you want to go, I'll accompany you, but it seems to be a little early, if you want to go to find the royal secret, it seems that it is more appropriate to go at night." ”
"By the way, I remember that you seem to be quite favored by Miss Su, and you have climbed the West Tower of Little Su. I've been in Songhu City for so many years, and I've only seen her twice in total, so why don't you take me to meet Su Xiaoxiao, and think of it as my reward for giving you advice." ”
Shi Ziling smiled: "Why are you so, I won't tell you, I've always been a little afraid of seeing Su Xiaoxiao, so I'm thinking about whether I should sneak into the 'Deyue Tower' to check out, it's best not to alarm Su Xiaoxiao." ”
Ma Yu was disappointed and said in surprise: "Everyone is eager to see Su Xiaoxiao's side but can't get it, why are you afraid to see her? Are you afraid that you will be fascinated by her and unable to extricate yourself, so that it will be difficult to explain to Miss Yu and Xiaohui?"
Shi Ziling smiled silently, he thought that every time he saw the magic power in Su Xiaoxiao's body, he would always have an abnormal reaction, and he still hadn't figured out what the reason was. Although the magic power, spiritual power and true yuan in the body have now been integrated, it is still difficult to say whether it will be difficult to control when he sees Su Xiaoxiao.
There is also Su Fengxian and Xiaohong in "Deyue Tower", I don't know what is happening now, I have also had a ridiculous time with the two of them, I don't know what it will be like to see the two of them again.
After Shi Ziling and Ma Yu agreed to meet in the "Deyue Tower" at night, Ma Yu left Nanying, and Shi Ziling did not stay in the camp, but came to Huilongguan not far from Nanying alone.
I haven't been here for more than half a year, Huilongguan is still deserted, there is not much popularity, Shiziling has gone all the way, and I haven't seen a few pilgrims passing by.
When I came to Huilongguan, I didn't see the fortune teller Kong Mingzi Dao come out to set up a stall.
Shi Ziling heard Xiao Hui say that Kong Mingzi and Wuchen Shitai have contact, so he specially came here to find out. Seeing that Kong Mingzi didn't set up a stall, he asked a small Taoist priest in the Taoist temple.
The little Taoist priest told Shi Ziling that Kong Mingzi had not come back since he left the Taoist temple the day before yesterday, probably because he had gone to other places again.
Shi Ziling listened to it and felt a little strange in his heart, the night before yesterday happened to be the day when Wuchen Shitai assassinated Chen Gongzhao's father and son, and it was on this day that Mingzi left Huilongguan, and never came back, I wonder if the departure of Mingzi was related to the assassination of Chen Gongzhao?
I remember that Kong Mingzi once said to Shi Ziling in person that he decided to quit the "Dark Dao" from now on, and planned to wash his hands in this golden basin, I don't know if this time the leader of the "Dark Dao" came to Songhu City in person, did he find Kong Mingzi?
Shi Ziling went to the bamboo forest behind Huilongguan to take a look, but he found nothing, so he had to return to Nanying alone.
In the evening, Shi Ziling and Ma Yu walked into the "Deyue Building" together, although the city's garrison Chen Gongzhao's family had accidents one after another, but the interest of all the dignitaries and nobles to linger in the land of Fengyue did not seem to be affected much, and the business in the "Deyue Building" was still prosperous.
Not long after Shi Ziling and Ma Yu entered, someone welcomed the two of them into the VIP room. Shiziling is now a big celebrity in Songhu City, and the men and maids in the "Deyue Tower" have also admired his name for a long time, and immediately reported the news of his arrival to the thirteenth aunt.
Although Aunt Thirteen was very busy, when she heard that Shi Ziling, the number one master in the east today, was coming, she immediately brought a few red-card girls to greet her.
After some greetings, the thirteenth aunt said: "I heard the good news that Shi Gongzi was promoted to the orthodox capital early this morning, but I didn't expect the two sons to come to visit our Deyue Tower in the evening." Shi Dutong, in order to congratulate you on your ascension, all the drinks cost of the two of you tonight will be counted in my account. ”
Ma Yu smiled: "It's rare for Aunt Thirteen to be so generous, so we have to drink two more glasses." But we are not just here to drink today, you also know that there has been an incident in Lord Chen Gongzhao's mansion recently, and Ziling has been appointed to be fully responsible for investigating this matter, and I came today to see if you have any news here. ”
The thirteenth aunt was slightly stunned and said: "We are here in the land of Fengyue, although there are all kinds of guests, and we will often hear some news and rumors, but how can someone talk about such a big thing as the assassination of Lord Chen." If Shi Dutong wants to find out the news here, he is afraid that he will be disappointed. ”
Shi Ziling smiled: "We don't necessarily have to find out what important news we have, but we just received news that the murderer related to Chen Gongzhao's assassination case will be haunting Deyue Tower these days, so let's come over and have a look, by the way, I want to ask if there are special guests visiting these days?"
The thirteenth aunt said lightly: "It turns out that Shi Dutong is here to investigate the case. Our business in the past few days is not much different from usual, it is still full of people coming and going, I don't know what kind of guests Shi Dutong thinks is special?"
Shi Ziling said: "The so-called special guests, on the one hand, mean that they rarely come here and are unfamiliar faces, and on the other hand, they do not have their minds on the wind and snow after they come, but pay attention to other matters. If there is such a guest, please pay more attention to the thirteenth aunt and tell me in time. ”
Aunt Thirteen said: "Most of the people who have come recently are regular customers, and even if there are occasional fresh faces, they are still coming for our many red-card girls, and there is not much special, Shi Dutong is afraid to be disappointed." By the way, there are a few strange guests here tonight, and they are seated in the private room next door, do you want Shi Dutong to go over and check it out?"
Ma Yu hurriedly asked, "Does the thirteenth aunt know who they are?"
Aunt Thirteen said lightly: "I heard that it was some prince from Yanjing City, who named the little girl who wanted to see my family, and was a little unhappy after being rejected by Xiaoxiao, and was drinking next door." ”
"Lord Wang?"
Shi Ziling and Ma Yu glanced at each other, thinking how could it be so coincidental that they actually met Luo Linhai here, this guy had just been involved in the assassination of Chen Gongzhao, but he didn't care about it at all, and he actually came here to be happy.
Shi Ziling said: "Thirteenth aunt, let's go next door to visit Lord Luo, besides, I want to visit Miss Su in the west building of the backyard later, I don't know if it is convenient?"
Aunt Thirteen frowned slightly and said: "This doesn't seem to be very regular, if Shi Dutong wants to see the little girl, I can pass it on for you, if you go by yourself, I'm afraid it will frighten her." ”
Shi Ziling said: "Then trouble Aunt Thirteen to pass it on on your behalf, maybe the little girl is willing to see me, and it may not be ......."
Luo Linhai, Xiong Tianying, and Xie Tianping were drinking boringly next door, and because You Tianhua was captured, Luo Linhai knew that he pretended to be a robber and attacked Chen's house at night to rob the property, but he was afraid that it had been exposed.
Although they had quietly returned the property, You Tianhua fell into the hands of Shi Ziling, who had evidence and physical evidence, and if Luo Linhai was to be accused, Luo Linhai would be unable to escape the charge of injuring Chen Gongzhao and robbing his family's property.
Although with his status as a prince, these charges may not be able to help him, but when the matter spreads, it is inevitable that his reputation will be ruined, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be impeached by several opponents in the court, and I am afraid that it will be very troublesome at that time.
What bothered Luo Linhai the most was that now Chen Gongzhao was suddenly assassinated, and all the evidence pointed to Luo Linhai and them, making him quite speechless. And the strength of Shi Ziling, who supervised the case, was obviously above him, if Shi Ziling insisted on planting the charge on Luo Linhai's head, Luo Linhai would not be able to beat him, and he would be afraid of falling into the truth, which was really a dilemma.
Luo Linhai stayed in the mansion and was distraught, so he thought of coming to this "Deyue Tower" to relax. It's a pity that Oiran Su Xiaoxiao refused to see him, which disappointed him.
The three of them were drinking sullenly in the private room, and were thinking about whether to call a few red card girls to accompany them, when someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.
Xiong Tianying said: "Probably the proprietress brought the red card girl to the prince to choose." Since the prince is here, he will pick a few escorts to relieve his boredom, and he will be bored in the mansion anyway. ”
Luo Linhai nodded, and motioned to Xiong Tianying to let the people outside in, but who knew that it was not the red-card girl who came in, but Shi Ziling and Ma Yu.
