In the evening of the same day, the Interior Guard Mansion was brightly lit.

Xu Zun was looking up at the bright moon in the sky with his hands behind his back, thoughtful.

Today took a whole day, and he was not able to go through all the seventeen crime scenes.

The Holy Capital was so large that the residences of these officials were somewhat scattered, and most of the time was wasted just for the journey.

He could only pick and choose and investigate the suspects first.

"Your ......Excellency," at this time, Ani appeared behind him with a bowl of soup, "This is the sobering soup I asked the kitchen to make for you." ”

"Oh?" Xu Zun raised his eyebrows, looked at the steaming medicinal soup, and asked, "Wake up?" ”

"Yes...... Ani smiled faintly, "I learned it from the Xuanmen, and it is made from medicinal herbs such as musk, calamus, bezoar, and star gall. ”

"This ......" Xu Zun took the bowl and sniffed it gently.

"How?" Seeing Xu Zun hesitating, Ani pursed her lips, "Don't you dare to drink?" Rest assured, there is no poison in it, so you can use it...... Shall I give you a bite first? ”

"No......" Xu Zun smiled slightly and clarified, "I didn't mean that, what I need now is a sleep aid soup, not a brain awakening soup!" ”

"Sleep aid?" Ani frowned, "Do you want to sleep?" Case...... Don't check it out? ”

"Huh...... I'm a human being, too! Xu Zun looked at this incredibly beautiful Yuanzhou beauty, and felt a little comfortable in his heart.

No wonder people say that beautiful women are eye-catching!

"Then ......," said Ani, "I also know a recipe for sleep, and I'll go and boil it for you?" ”

"No need," Xu Zun joked, "as long as you are willing to warm the quilt for me, I will definitely be able to sleep soundly!" ”

Ani blushed slightly and muttered, "It's a pity that I couldn't help the adult!" ”

"It's okay," Xu Zun patted Ani's shoulder gently, "I still have six days to splurge." ”

"Your Excellen......cy," said Ani, "I see that you care so much about this assassination, have you found anything?" ”

"Hehe......" Xu Zun smiled bitterly, "The case is complicated and the mind is chaotic, where can I find a clue?" ”

"Perhaps," Ani reminded, "......maybe the reason why Xuanmen made such a big move is so that we can't find a clue?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Xu Zun nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Ani said was quite reasonable.

Ever since he came into contact with this case, he had a feeling that there seemed to be some bigger conspiracy hidden behind this large-scale assassination of Xuanmen!

And the key to finding out the conspiracy is among the 17 victims.

Therefore, Xu Zun has already made up his mind that he must investigate these seventeen assassination cases clearly in order to get a glimpse of the real mystery of Xuanmen!

……

That night, Xu Zun forcibly let himself sleep well.

The next day, he continued to visit the scene of the assassination case by step, and kept in mind the circumstances of each assassination case.

Xue Guihua, Duke of Liangguo, Lang Yingrang of the Ministry of Works, Li Ren, Duke of Lushan, Han Zhang, Assassin of Songzhou, Lian Gelao, Minister of the Cabinet, Liu Jin, Secretary of Dali Temple, Cao Ding, Shui Lingcheng, and Xu Chi, the Imperial Doctor......

These names are as deep as an imprint, and Xu Zun's mind is deep.

After checking the scene of the assassination, Xu Zun went to Bi Sheng, the leader of the Inner Guard, to check the information of Xuanmen.

Unexpectedly, the Xuanmen information was piled up, and it was impossible for him to see it.

However, Xu Zun had a lively mind, and he knew that Bi Sheng was not an ordinary man, so he asked Bi Sheng to answer his question in person.

Because of the edict in hand, Bi Sheng didn't dare to resist even if he had an alternative temperament, so he could only be patient and give Xu Zun answers one by one.

Through Bi Sheng's answer, Xu Zun roughly figured out the origin of Xuanmen, and also understood the royal attitude towards Xuanmen.

It turns out that this Xuanmen is not a resurgence, but in the hundred years of the Great Xuanjian Dynasty, they have always existed, but they have never become a climate.

As Tie Jing said, what everyone thinks is Xuanmen is just some little thieves who shout slogans and engage in spiritual sports, and they can't be on the stage at all.

The so-called Xuanmen rebels who were caught before were just some characters like Chongtianguan Guangu, who joined Xuanmen just to make a living, and they couldn't get in touch with the inside secrets of Xuanmen at all.

It can also be said that before Xu Zun did not expose the secret base of Qinglanguan, the royal family did not pay enough attention to it at all.

Therefore, the rise of Xuanmen today is definitely abnormal!

Not only Xu Zun, but even the Queen Mother has already felt that there must be a master behind this Xuanmen command.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Zun has even more reason to believe that the ultimate goal of Xuanmen is not just the assassination in front of him.

But......

Xuanmen was afraid that they underestimated the ability of the Empress Dowager Lin, they thought that this assassination was enough to cause chaos in the world, but they did not expect that the Empress Dowager would use a trick "for my use" and suppress this crisis with the most tough means in history.

Perhaps, Xuanmen's so-called "Heavenly Tribulation" operation has been disrupted by the Queen Mother, right?

Of course, it was not easy to catch such a capable person as Bi Sheng, and Xu Zun asked him for the detailed information of the seventeen victims.

This time, Bi Sheng didn't dare to use that little art to be perfunctory, but answered Xu Zun's questions.

After asking, as Xu Zun expected, Bi Sheng controlled Daxuan's highest intelligence department, and the news he knew was really different from what was rumored by the outside world.

For example, Li Ren, the Duke of Lushan, was addicted to alchemy and wanted to become an immortal, so he was admonished by the Queen Mother.

Cabinet Minister Lian Ge Lao participated in the purchase of officials, and was preparing to return to his hometown.

The Holy Capital Transit Envoy has filled his pockets, embezzled public funds, and is under investigation by internal guards.

Han Zhang, the assassin of Songzhou, is even more outrageous, he likes to steal people's wives, and he was even accused of the royal ......

Liu Jin, the secretary of Dali Temple, also has many stains, which is even more interesting.

On the day of his murder, the reason why Li Jinlou invited Liu Jin to be a guest at home was to arrange a crime for Xu Zun to avenge the revenge of Shangyuancheng.

Hearing this news, Xu Zun narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already moved with killing intent.

He said in his heart, you Li Jinlou, you dare to calculate me.

You wait for me, if I Xu Zun can't solve the case, then you are a little right. But if I solve the case, I will never forget you!

……

On the evening of the same day, news came from the Neiwei Mansion that General Jinghui had sent someone to detain Daozun Ye Hanchen of Xuanmen Southwest Road to the Neiwei Mansion, and Cai Kun and others were stepping up interrogation.

Now, Ye Hanchen is the only high-ranking figure in the Xuanmen who has been captured alive, and the internal guards naturally attach great importance to it.

However, Xu Zun had already predicted that through the heart-to-heart chats with the Zijian and Feishuang along the way, he already knew that the knowledge of these people was limited.

They are just tools used by the Xuanmen to collect money, and they do not understand the advanced operation of the Xuanmen at all.

Therefore, to arrest the Xuanmen rebels, we have to start with the assassination case......

……

On the third day, Chen Taiji, Tie Jing and Dongfang Enchanting handled the affairs of their respective units and returned to Xu Zun to report.

The three of them thought that Xu Zun was going to take them around again, but they didn't expect Xu Zun to go anywhere, but asked them questions for a whole day in front of the two maps.

Of these two maps, one is from the Holy Capital Xuanmiao City; One is the ...... of the Great Xuan Palace.
