Chapter 220: Where to Start?
"What!?" In the chamber of the Internal Guard Mansion, when he learned of the situation, Zhao Yu was so shocked that his jaw was almost gone, "Why is there such a big thing?" Genmon ...... Xuanmen ......"
As soon as he said that, he couldn't help but look at Ani.
"Qingzhou and Qizhou are relatively close to the holy capital, and the news came quickly," Xu Zun said, "It is not known at the moment whether there are any other princes who have been killed." ”
"Then ......," Zhao Yu said, "Isn't this a big mess in the world?" The death of the prince will also be blamed on the head of the queen mother? Isn't the situation that the Queen Mother is facing now very bad? ”
"Of course," Xu Zun said, "King Yu of Qingzhou and King Jin of Qizhou are both elder brothers of the first emperor, and they are highly respected in the royal family, and their assassination will inevitably arouse the suspicion of other princes."
"In addition, Xu Yusheng of this military department is also an unstable factor," Xu Zun said, "I suspect that the reason why he was assassinated was not because he was lucky, but because the assassins deliberately let him go!" ”
"Yes," Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, "He has a heavy army in his hands, and he is leading the troops to inspect the exercise, if he holds a grudge because of this incident and leads the troops back, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Anuche," Huo Anu scolded, "I really can't imagine that those girls in Qinglanguan are actually used for this purpose?"
"Those princes and ministers are also enough, half of their feet are already in the coffin, and they still like such a young concubine, it's good to earn themselves, right?"
"Of course you don't understand," Zhao Yu said with a grin, "It is precisely because half of your foot is in the coffin that you are even more greedy for the world and for the red face!" ”
"Anuche," Huo Anu slapped the table and pointed at Zhao Yu and said, "I find that since you admit that you are the son of the Zhao family, you have become more and more indebted!" ”
"Hey," Zhao Yu hurriedly moved to the other side of the table, "I'm telling the truth, what are you anxious about?" ”
"Woo ......" Xu Zun hurriedly persuaded and shouted, "Xuanmen's Heavenly Tribulation Plan has been launched, it seems that we can't do anything about it!" ”
"What?" Zhao Yu immediately asked, "Lord Xu, if we can find out the Xuanmen rebel party and let them confess their guilt to prove the world, won't we be able to save the situation?" ”
"Humph......"
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he got a cold snort from Ani.
Obviously, Ani thinks that Zhao Yu's words are simply fantasy and a dream.
"My lord," Huo Anu asked eagerly, "is it...... Can we only watch Xuanmen succeed? Shall we not do something about it? ”
"Impossible," Zhao Yu took over and said, "Use your brain to think about it, since the internal guard has already told Lord Xu such a thunderous and urgent news, how can it be possible to let Lord Xu stay out of the matter?" ”
"Clever," Xu Zun snapped his fingers, "Although there is no official appointment, I have been given clear instructions from above, let us thoroughly investigate this large-scale assassination!" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu frowned, "My lord...... Did I hear me right? The assassination has already happened, what else is there to investigate? Shouldn't the task given to us be to catch the Xuanmen and oppose the party? ”
"It is the task of the internal guards to catch the rebels," Xu Zun said, "As for the impact of the killing of those princes and ministers, it is naturally something that you and I cannot control."
"So, our task is still the same as before, to investigate the case."
"Seventeen princes and ministers were assassinated at the same time," Huo Anu said worriedly, "just the four of us, can we find out?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Lord Xu, is it ...... Do you think those Miss Assassins are still in the Holy Capital? As long as they are caught, there is still a turning point in this case? ”
As soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, Cai Kun, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, came in from the outside, followed by three people behind him.
"Ji Ying," Cai Kun said, "I have already found you the person you want." Come on, I'll introduce you. ”
"Oops," Xu Zun recognized the front one, it was Chen Taiji, the Imperial History of the Criminal Department, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Lord Chen, I didn't expect it to be you!" ”
"Ji Ying," Chen Taiji hurriedly returned the salute, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon!" Last time you said goodbye in Shangyuan City, I thought something happened to you, but I didn't expect to be sent to Yonghui by the Queen Mother! ”
"I'm embarrassed to say it," Xu Zun hurriedly apologized, "The task is urgent, Xu Zun set off overnight, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to Lord Chen, I'm really sorry." ”
"Hmm...... Ahem......" Cai Kun coughed, pointed to an old man behind him and introduced, "Ji Yingna, this is our Dali Temple Cheng Tie Jing, Tie Lao is a treasure-level figure in our holy capital, knowledgeable and well-informed. ”
"I've seen Tie Lao!" Xu Zun hurriedly saluted.
"This one is the Oriental Divine Capture of the Divine Capture Division," Cai Kun pointed to a woman wearing a brocade dress and a quick catcher behind him, "The Oriental Divine Hunt understands the structure of the Holy Capital, and the people are sophisticated, so they will definitely be able to help you." ”
"I've seen Lord God Catcher!" Xu Zun saluted again.
When I looked up, I found that this goddess was about thirty years old, and her face was ruddy, like a peach blossom, not at all like that kind of heroic female catcher.
Her body is plump, round and jade, more like a broad wife of any family.
"This is Lord Xu Zun Xu, who was appointed by the Holy Empress Dowager," Cai Kun introduced to everyone, "It is a special envoy specially transferred from Tangzhou to investigate this assassination." ”
"Hello Special Envoy Xu!" Tie Jing and Dongfang Shenzhu greeted Xu Zun together.
Xu Zun secretly glanced at Cai Kun, and said in his heart, why did I become an envoy again?
In fact, there is no way to do it, after all, Xu Zun has not yet received a formal appointment, so Cai Kun must give Xu Zun a strong identity.
Otherwise, how could these Beijing officials serve a local petty official?
"Ji Ying," Cai Kun said again, "These three are all our own people, if there is anything, you can just ask." ”
"It's hard work!" Xu Zun bowed.
"Envoy Xu rest assured," Tie Jing stroked his beard and said, "There is such a big thing happening in the Holy Capital, and we, as courtiers, must do our best." ”
"This case is also the responsibility of our Divine Capture Division," Dongfang Shenzhu said with his fists clenched, "If there is anything, Special Envoy Xu will just give orders." ”
"Hehehe......" Chen Taiji said to everyone, "I have worked with Ji Ying twice, but I have seen him solve several amazing cases with my own eyes, otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have recruited him so far away."
"Ji Yingna," he turned to Xu Zun and said, "If you can solve the great problem of Xuanmen, then a few of us can also get rid of you!" ”
"Chen Yushi is in love," Xu Zun said modestly, "Those two times were just Xu Zun's luck." This assassination is not trivial, and I hope you will help! ”
As he spoke, several people were going to clench their fists politely.
"Okay, let's not be polite," Cai Kun said, "Ji Ying, Dai Long's injury has not yet recovered, I will choose one more person to add in, and the eight guards are still under your command." ”
"Okay." Xu Zun nodded, and then asked everyone, "I wonder if the three adults already know the facts of the case?" ”
The three nodded in unison.
"Well, I'm going to work hard for everyone tonight!" Xu Zun said, "We have to go to the scene of these 17 cases overnight to investigate. ”
Oh?
The three of them were obviously a little surprised, no one expected Xu Zun to be so anxious.
However, Xu Zun is now the leader, and the three of them naturally cannot have objections.
"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Shenzhu asked, "There are so many crime scenes, I don't know, do you want us to act separately, or do you ......?"
"Collective action," Xu Zun replied, "I need to know the details of each assassination." ”
"Then ......," Dongfang Shenzhu asked again, "which one shall we go to first?" Start with Liang Guogong? ”
"No," Xu Zun said categorically, "Let's go to the house of the Ministry of Works first, I heard that he seems to be in charge of some project now......
