Chapter 229: Ranking

The holy capital of Xuanmiao City.

It was past noon, Xu Zun came out of the mansion of Xue Guihua, the Duke of Liang, to investigate the case, and sat in the carriage thoughtfully.

Liang Guogong's mansion is much more luxurious than the winning and Cao Ding families that I have seen before.

There are many houses and corridors in the house, and if no one leads them, there is even a possibility of getting lost.

And Xue Guihua is surrounded by a lot of guards, and there are also some people who are agile and have profound skills.

Because of this, Xue Guihua's concubine did not escape after stabbing Xue Guihua to death, but was forced into a corner by these guards, and committed suicide on the spot when she saw that she was cornered.

As a result, the assassin's body was also placed in the mansion, and Xu Zun performed a simple autopsy on it.

Through some investigation, Xu Zun also got some doubts that were different from before.

First, they didn't find the mysterious mark at the scene of the assassination.

On the day of the crime, Xue Guihua went back to the bedroom with the concubine to rest after lunch, and the concubine was able to assassinate him.

It's a pity that several of Xue Guihua's entourage happened to pass by the door and noticed something wrong, so they didn't let the concubine escape.

Xu Zun and Ani searched in the house for a long time, but they didn't find that strange mark.

Secondly, the concubine cut her throat with a dagger and killed herself.

This may seem normal, but it contains important information.

According to Ani, the Assassins had been given deadly poisons to swallow to their deaths to prevent them from being caught.

When Ani herself was captured, she had already taken out the pills, but unfortunately she was beaten by the quick-eyed Huo Anu and stopped it in time.

However, it seems unreasonable that this concubine did not carry this poison on her body, but chose to kill herself......

"My lord, my lord......" At this time, Zhao Yu lifted the curtain and entered the carriage and reported to Xu Zun, "The people from the Inner Guard Mansion said that the information you want from the Xuanmen is all with Bi Sheng, the leader of the Zuo Pavilion.

They said...... There are rules in Bi Ge Ling, and no information can be taken out, so ...... If you want to see it, you'll have to go there yourself......"

Well......

Xu Zun nodded slightly, this was one of the conditions he proposed to Lin Chaofeng.

Since you want to catch the Xuanmen against the party, you must understand the ins and outs of the Xuanmen. Therefore, Xu Zun wanted Lin Chaofeng to provide him with detailed information, including the origin of the Xuanmen, the anti-party members arrested over the years, and the interrogation records......

Lin Chaofeng naturally agreed, but he didn't expect to have to come to check.

"Okay," Xu Zun nodded, "I know, I'll go over when I'm done investigating these crime scenes." ”

"My lord......" Who knows, Ah Xiu Tsai came in again, and said to Xu Zun with a stack of materials, "My lord, these are the details of this assassination incident compiled by the internal guards, and they are all there." ”

"Good!"

Xu Zun wanted to come to these materials, but he didn't want to waste time on the road, and he had to use the fastest speed to understand the situation.

"My lord," Ah Xiu Tsai put down the information and asked, "Whose house are we going to next?" It is relatively close to Liu Jin's house in Dali Temple. ”

"Okay," Xu Zun agreed, "then go to his house first." ”

"Yes!" Ah Xiu Tsai exited the carriage and went to inform the driver.

At this moment, there are two girls in the carriage, Huo Anu and Ani, after last night's toss, the two girls are also quite tired, and they are leaning on the backrest to close their eyes to recuperate.

However, Zhao Yu was still in good spirits, and after the carriage started, he said in Xu Zun's ear:

"Dali Temple supervises the imperial history, isn't that Li Jinlou's position? Five-grade official, right? He pinched his fingers and said, "The Divine Dragon Catcher is very powerful, I won't tell you, I heard of it when I was in the Zhao family before."

"It is said that this Divine Dragon Catcher is the top master of the Divine Capture Division, and he is responsible for arresting those thieves with high martial arts, so he will often come to our Zhao family to buy news, hehe......"

Seeing that Xu Zun was concentrating on checking the information, Zhao Yu smiled as if he was bored, and sat down beside Xu Zun.

"Then ......" Who knows, Xu Zun looked at the information, but asked, "What about the special case investigation envoy of the Internal Security Mansion?" ”

"Hey, I was about to say that!" Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves and said, "This name, it's really the first time I've heard of it, and I want to ask you how many officials are here?" ”

"Anuche," unexpectedly, the fire Anu in the depths of the carriage suddenly spoke, "There are six and a half days left in seven days, and I don't care about the case, but I remember my official position." ”

"Huh?" Xu Zun held down the information and asked, "I think about it, among these victims, who has the biggest official position and who has the smallest official position?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yu and the others naturally couldn't say it.

Xu Zun hurriedly looked through the information, and the biggest official position was undoubtedly Xue Guihua, the Duke of Liang Guo, who had just been checked.

Guogong is a member of the Great Xuan First Grade, and his natural grade is the highest.

As for who's the youngest......

Xu Zun checked for a while and found that the Holy Capital Prison Envoy, the Holy Capital Transit Envoy, and the Supervising Imperial History were relatively low-grade, all of them were fifth-grade officials.

It's just that although these three official positions are slightly lower, they are all veritable fat differences, and it is generally difficult for those who have a tough background to hold this position.

Wait a minute...... It seems like...... There is a smaller one.

Xu Zun flipped to the back of the information and read out a name: "Imperial Doctor Xu Chi...... Tsk, this imperial doctor, how many officials is it? ”

"Hmmm......"

As a result, Zhao Yu and the others stared wide-eyed.

"There are many kinds of doctors," Ani said, "and they have a level, right?" ”

"Ah Xiu Zai!" Xu Zun lifted the curtain and asked loudly outside, "How many officials is Imperial Doctor Xu Chi?" ”

"Wupin," Axiu Zai replied from outside, "Xu Chi is the Tai Hospital's mention, from Wupin!" ”

The mention point of the Tai Hospital is the biggest official of the Tai Hospital, which means that Xu Chi is the head of the Tai Hospital.

But Rao is like this, but he is also ranked after the three people including the prison envoy, and he is the youngest of the assassins killed in this time!

Xu Chi......

Taiyi ......

Xu Zun remembered what Lin Chaofeng said before, among all the victims, only this Imperial Doctor Xu and the Queen Mother did not have a holiday.

Instead of celebrating the holiday, the relationship is very good, and he has won the trust of the Queen Mother.

So...... Xuanmen chose to assassinate him, could it have any purpose?

Seem......

Among all the victims, only this Imperial Physician Xu is the one who can enter Wanfu Palace and get close to the Queen Mother, right?

Gee......

The more Xu Zun thought about it, the more he felt that there was something suspicious here, so he opened the information and wanted to take a look at the circumstances of Xu Chi's murder.

And at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Liu Dong's voice came from outside:

"Your Excellency, it's here!"

All right......

Xu Zun had no choice but to put down the information for the time being and get out of the carriage.

But I saw a high-walled compound appear in front of me, and there were two stone lions standing at the gate of the courtyard, and the stone lions had lost their luster after experiencing many winds and rains.

"This is Liu Jin's home?" Xu Zun asked everyone.

"Yes, sir." When Ah Xiu Tsai replied, his face showed a slight strangeness.

Xu Zun didn't notice it at first, but when he took a few steps forward, he found that Hou Zhen and the others were lined up on both sides and didn't rush to open the door.

This......

Suddenly...... A stream of familiar memories welled up in his mind, and Xu Zun suddenly woke up, pointed to the door and said in surprise:

"This ...... Isn't this my home? ”

……
