Chapter 554: Spread on the table
The further you go to the main city, the more prosperous the road becomes.
Tea houses, restaurants, restaurants, foot shops, baths, theaters, red halls and government offices, all for people's livelihood and public use.
He Lingchuan even saw a huge restaurant on the side of the road, with five floors up and down, each floor has thousands of square meters, and the lights are bright and the guests are noisy.
But it's not the biggest and most splendid building, the temple is.
Just behind the main street, where every inch of land is valuable, He Lingchuan can always see the roofs of various temples, large and small. The names enshrined in the temple are also different.
Anyway, those who can open a temple in Lingxu City are not ordinary gods.
According to Fu Shanyue, the rich and noble especially like to donate or renovate the temple, otherwise it is good to build a temple roof, if it is not for the Lingxu City is not allowed to use the golden roof, maybe everywhere will be glittering. The nobles not only have face to say this, but also ask the gods to continue to bless them.
"Effective?"
As soon as He Lingchuan's question was spoken, he felt that he had made a fool.
Fu Shanyue laughed: "The gods are silent, but sincerity is spiritual!" ”
When it gets dark, there is a problem with accommodation.
If the officials of the various regions and demon kingdoms enter the Lingxu City to wait for orders or do business, they usually have to live in the post house to facilitate the summons.
Fushan Yue entered the capital on his own this time, and he was free to choose his residence. But he still chose to stay in the inn temporarily, so as not to find no one when the higher authorities wanted to summon him.
With just such a detail, He Lingchuan knew that this person was thick on the outside and fine on the inside.
Or maybe there are too many big names in Lingxu City, and even Fu Shanyue doesn't dare to act recklessly here.
Although it is a post house, domestic and foreign envoys and foreign officials live here when they enter the city, so the conditions are quite good, the environment is quiet, the utensils are exquisite, and the slaves and maids smile sincerely and naturally.
Of course, there are also three levels of inns. When officials from other small countries come to Lingxu City, they are usually only arranged to go to second- and third-class post houses, and no one dares to have an opinion.
And Prince Chiyan naturally wanted to stay at the highest level, and He Lingchuan also followed suit.
If the inns where He Lingchuan lived in the past were all small guest houses, that is, the kind where the front desk attendants often disappeared for no reason, then the first-class post house in Lingxu City is the level of a five-star hotel.
The subordinates were busy settling down, and Fu Shanyue wanted to drag He Lingchuan to drink and wash the dust, but the latter refused:
"I've got something."
Talking nonsense, Fu Shanyue glared: "The first time you go to Lingxu City, what can you do!" ”
"Visit relatives and friends." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, "To be honest, I'll look for you for a drink tomorrow." ”
"Okay, let's go."
He Lingchuan thought about it, first went back to his guest room, released his eyeballs and spiders on the beam, and then quietly left from the back door of the post house, boarded a deer cart, and ran to the next destination.
Less than two hours after he left, the guards came in and said:
"Your Highness, the envoy of the Heavenly Palace has come to give an order!"
"Now?" Now that the night is dark, the emperor is in such a hurry?
When Fu Shanyue saw the messenger, it turned out that the Star Picking Tower actually announced that he had come to see him overnight.
His decision to stay at the inn was correct. Fu Shan Yue straightened his clothes and went with the messenger.
The other party didn't mention He Lingchuan at all.
He Dashao is still a key figure in Baisha, but he is nothing here. Bai Ziqi and Fu Shanyue are enough to show their affection in front of each other, and He Lingchuan, as an insignificant outsider, is not even qualified to be summoned by the emperor.
Bai Ziqi brought him to Lingxu City, just to be prepared, in case any lord wanted to know more about the situation, but he couldn't find the case handler of Prince Chiyan.
Of course, He Lingchuan knew that he also had other intentions.
¥¥¥¥¥
Heavenly Palace, Star Picking Tower.
Bai Ziqi knelt on the ground, and 1510 summarized his investigation in Baisha, which was not only for the Demon Emperor, but also for the Lord Duyun, and also for the Spirit Void Holy Venerable.
He handled it meticulously, and all the physical evidence, human witnesses, and criminals involved in the case were brought back to Lingxu City, including the bodies of Fu Songhua, Wu Kai and Cheng Yu.
The Demon Emperor listened for most of the hour, and couldn't help yawning: "You mean, Cen Boqing confessed?" ”
"I confessed, but Mrs. Shum brought witnesses to prove that he was only an accomplice. There is someone else behind the scenes. ”
The Demon Emperor asked again: "It's so difficult for you to make Wu Kai speak, why is it easy for Yao Xingning to catch this scene that connects with him?" ”
Bai Ziqi shook her head: "Mrs. Cen said that she was lucky. ”
"I'm afraid someone secretly helped her." The Demon Emperor said lazily, "You don't have to ask her, she is Ma Daha, and I probably don't even know it." Can you still investigate this case? ”
Bai Ziqi hesitated:
"I'm afraid it's very involved."
"You check first, and the results will not be announced for the time being." The Demon Emperor said slowly, "Da Si Nong has been crying to me for several days, saying that his family doesn't know what his son-in-law has done; Zhongsun's family, one by one, came to find out the whereabouts of Zhongsunmou, saying that he wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. ”
Bai Ziqi said: "They are also involved in the elixir case. ”
"Oh, Qingfu Temple and the people inside were burned down by a fire, Wu Kai was also dead, and there was no physical evidence, so the old man Zhongsun came out to deny it with confidence, saying that he had not taken the elixir, saying that it was impossible for his grandson to cover Cen Boqing in Baishaqian to make false testimony, all of which were framed by Cen Boqing. This cunning old thing...... Well, when you investigated the case in Baisha, did you find any direct evidence that Zhongsun Mou committed perjury on behalf of Cen Boqing? ”
Bai Ziqi thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "The progress of this case in Baishaqi is slow, and it is almost impossible to investigate, because there is no direct evidence of Zhongsun Mou and Cen Boqing. Wu Kai handled things very thoroughly, in the case of the disappearance of the messenger, the false confession he provided was also written by Fu Songhua himself and stamped with his fingerprint, even if he was investigated afterwards, Zhong Sunmou was only a crime of credulity and negligence and ineffective handling of the case. ”
Therefore, the charge of Zhongsun's family buying elixir privately is just hanging, but Zhongsunmou's disappearance has made his family a real sufferer.
"I expected it to be like this." The Demon Emperor snorted, "The Zhongsun family still wants to trouble the Cen family now. You say, should it be? ”
"If Mai Xuewen's robbery and killing of Zhongsun Mou was an independent action, not instructed by Cen Boqing, then ......"
"Mai Xuewen is still at large, you haven't even touched his shadow. It looks like he won't be coming out anytime soon. ”
Bai Ziqi lowered his head: "The subordinates are incompetent." ”
"Okay, regardless of the Zhongsun family, you can continue to follow the clues provided by Mrs. Cen......"
Before the Demon Emperor finished speaking, a few red words suddenly appeared on the Book of Heaven:
Killing chickens and monkeys makes an example of the middle grandson's crimes.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
With a few words, the Zhongsun family is about to come to a catastrophe.
This is the will of the gods.
After a while, the Demon Emperor said: "For more than a hundred years, Zhongsun has been a spiritual minister. ”
This can be regarded as a plea, but the Book of Heaven did not react, and it is obvious that the Heavenly God does not intend to take back his fate.
The matter of privately refining and buying elixir is really a big violation of their taboo.
The Demon Emperor coughed again: "If you want to do it, you must do it according to the rules, and you can only do it if you have evidence!" Bai Ziqi pursued it, and the buyers and sellers of the elixir could not escape, and the Zhongsun family was punished...... And why rush? ”
For a long time, there were no new instructions from the Book of Heaven, probably by default.
The Demon Emperor immediately changed his words: "There is also a little progress in the Qingfu Temple, right?" ”
On this day, day and earth, net problems for him. If there is a nest on the countertop, there may be a nest of nests in the house. Zhongsun Mou bought elixir for his old man, this matter is by no means unique.
Is it the same as killing a child, and if you find a case, you will severely punish it?
How many subjects do you have to implicate? What if the royal court of the Spirit Void City is in turmoil?
But in the dictionary of the gods outside the heavens, where are the words "the law does not blame the people"?
Bai Ziqi didn't know what the Demon Emperor was thinking, so he only bowed his head and responded "yes".
"As for the movement of the big square pot, what do you think of it?" The Demon Emperor had already heard the statement, and now he had to listen to Bai Ziqi's own opinion.
He glanced at the altar of God, and it was quiet.
"The breath of the Dafang pot fluctuated twice before and after, from the perspective of time and space, it is very likely that the Chiyan prince Fushanyue and Mai Xuewen have appeared in that vicinity." Bai Ziqi said respectfully, "My subordinates think that these two people should be investigated." ”
"The Baoshu King picks the head, four or five demon kings have come to the table one after another, hmph, now is not a good time to move these people in Fushanyue, at least until the elixir case is over, lest the demon kings think that I am targeting the Chiyan Kingdom." The Demon Emperor looked at Bai Ziqi, "To Fu Shanyue, you still have to be polite." ”
"Yes." Bai Ziqi hesitated.
The Demon Emperor immediately noticed: "What is inexhaustible? Say! ”
"The envoy sent by the Prince of Chiyan to investigate the case, his subordinates also felt that something was wrong with him."
"Oh? Is it the person who tracked down the messenger case and found out Cen Boqing? The Demon Emperor's voice raised slightly, "What do you say?" ”
Bai Ziqi didn't dare to slack off, and said honestly: "I can't find any connection, and there is no evidence, not even indirect, my subordinates are just ...... I didn't feel at ease when I saw him. ”
"Spirituality is more important than evidence." The Demon Emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "In that case, just call it directly for interrogation." Just such a trivial matter, do you still need to hesitate? ”
"My subordinates understand."
Bai Shaqi was the territory of the Prince of Chiyan, and Bai Ziqi was not good there to directly interrogate his subordinates; But back in Lingxu City, many of the concerns disappeared or simplified.
"It's inconvenient for you to interrogate Fu Shanyue, but you can interrogate his subordinates." The Demon Emperor smiled, "Isn't that just right?" ”
"Yes." Bai Ziqi thought for a while and said, "If neither he nor Prince Chiyan are the targets we are looking for, then can the Holy Venerable lead the Great Fang Pot to change again?" ”
It's just three things, if the Dafang pot repeatedly sends out fluctuations, the difficulty of locating it in the Star Picking Tower will be greatly reduced.
Tianshu didn't react, and obviously the gods were also groaning. The reason for the two abnormal movements of the Dafang pot is irrelevant, and it is difficult to say what the trigger can trigger.
The Demon Emperor was not at ease: "What if it is recognized?" ”
Two lines of words slowly appeared in the Book of Heaven:
Mi Tian is dead, the Dafang pot has instincts, no spirit, and once it is opened, it can't be stopped.
"Really? That's good. ”
The envoy of Duyun, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "The Holy Venerable said that more than a hundred years ago, the Dafang Pot underwent many changes in the hands of Mitian, and someone saw it devouring a water spirit, which shows that it is addicted to eating heavenly and earthly treasures. ”
The Book of Heaven has handwriting:
"The generous pot integrates the laws of the two worlds, and likes to eat the treasures of the two worlds."
When the Demon Emperor heard this, he said, "Okay, isn't the sale of the Golden Horn's Dunyuan about to start?" Go to the treasury and fetch a treasure of the gods and test them. ”
