Chapter 144: Clues
An hour later.
Chen Che and Shen Kunpeng arrived at the headquarters of the Tiantong Trading House in Shenhuo City, this time without a mask.
Fan Yu looked at Chen Che's young face, and his heart felt like a stormy wave.
In fact, Tiantong Commercial Bank received some information very early on, saying that the Void Prince of the Survival Alliance and Chen Che, the true disciple of the Divine Fire Sect, were likely to be the same person.
But he didn't want to believe it all along.
After all, Chen Che was only in his early twenties, and stepping into the Qi Transformation Realm at this age was already a rare genius in Daxia for decades......
And the virtual prince is a master at the peak of the Xuan Qi Realm.
Stepping into the peak of the Xuanqi Realm in his early twenties is too outrageous.
But today he finally saw the true face of the virtual son......
It was Chen Che of the Divine Fire Sect!
This person came to Tiantong Commercial Bank this time to show his true face directly, could it be that he has already ......
Fan Yu's Adam's apple rolled and didn't continue to think about it.
"Shopkeeper Fan, did I ask you to inquire about the information?"
Chen Che asked softly.
"Hit ...... I have inquired, you wait. β
Fan Yu replied cautiously, and then he turned around and walked to the shelf behind him, then took a small wooden box from the shelf and placed it on the table.
Open the small wooden box, which is filled with paper full of words.
"Chen Gongzi, in addition to the detailed information of the thirty Jinshi twenty-one years ago, there is also the information of all the second-rank and above officials in the imperial court before, please take a look."
Fan Yu whispered.
"Ahem......"
Chen Che coughed lightly twice, then walked to the small wooden box and began to read it carefully.
According to the data, a total of 30 Jinshi were born in that scientific expedition 21 years ago......
The first sheet of this pile of materials is written in the name of thirty jinshi.
Chen Che saw the name Chen Zhao at a glance.
It's just that there is a "missing" note after the name.
Chen Che naturally didn't take these two words seriously.
If that person really disappeared, he wouldn't have encountered so many things in Stonefire City.
β¦β¦
Chen Che flipped through the information of these Jinshi one by one, and at the same time kept analyzing it in his heart.
Since the father who had never seen him needed to deal with it so carefully by a big force like the Jishi League, this showed that he was definitely not a petty official.
Even if there is no extremely good minister, it must be above the second grade.
And there are less than twenty Jingguan above the second grade in the entire Great Xia.
Very early on, he had seen similar lists from his teachers and had memorized the names of the twenty highest ranking officials.
It's just that he only knows the names of these people all along, and he doesn't know anything about their birth age.
And today, all the materials of these people are in front of him.
"The fact that the JesΕ« League wants to deal with him shows that he is not from the JeΕ«sm.
In addition, he probably is not from the faction of the Righteous Army.
If he is from the Yijun faction, the teacher will let me know.
So he could only be a faction of the Imperial City Army, or some other faction. β
As soon as Chen Che thought about it, he immediately screened out ten of the twenty adults.
Of the remaining ten people, he sifted out some of them that were too different in age, and in the end only five people remained.
Then Chen Che began to take out the list of Jinshi and compare them with these five people one by one.
Even if Chen Zhao changes his name and surname, he must obtain the status of a jinshi before he can become an official.
Therefore, his changed name is likely to be in this list of jinshi.
After a while, Chen Che screened out the two of them in the list of jinshi.
Both of these people have achieved Jinshi fame by special means.
One of them is named Li Shuyuan, and this person is a Jinshi who was replaced after Chen Zhao's disappearance.
Before the start of the war, this person had already been in the military department.
At the same time, this Li Shuyuan is still in the list of five people screened by Chen Che.
The other is named Xu Shi......
This person was originally a jinshi who was recommended by the Great Xia Academy.
This Xu Shi has a great reputation, and he has been the prime minister of Great Xia for eight years before the war, and he is really under one person and above ten thousand.
Legend has it that the proposal to build the Sun Palace was proposed by this man, so this person has a very bad reputation among the people.
And whether it is Li Shuyuan or Xu Shi, they all belong to the old imperial party.
To put it simply, these two people were loyal to the first emperor and did not belong to any faction of the Imperial City Army.
Li Shuyuan...... Xu Shi ......"
Chen Che whispered the two names.
Not surprisingly, one of these two people was his father, whom he had never met.
Chen Che continued to look at the information.
According to the information, after the death of the first emperor, there was a great war in the capital.
Li Shuyuan, the secretary of the military department, and Xu Shi, the prime minister, both disappeared after that battle.
Their family members were secretly sent out of the capital by the masters, and there has been no news so far.
"Both are missing......"
Chen Che secretly gritted his teeth.
There are 37 states in this great summer, how difficult is it to find two missing people?
Not to mention the chaos of war now......
A missing person sometimes means death.
β¦β¦
"Chen Gongzi...... What do you think? Are you satisfied with the information we provide? β
Seeing that Chen Che's face was constantly changing, and his body began to exude an astonishing cold aura, Fan Yu asked in fear.
Now there are still rumors circulating in Shenhuo Prefecture that the virtual prince may not have much time.
Although he has his back to the Tiantong Commercial Bank, he will inevitably feel worried in the face of an unscrupulous Tongshen Realm martial artist who has little time to live.
"It's okay."
After Chen Che responded, he asked, "How much balance should I give you Tiantong Commercial Bank?" β
Fan Yu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Gongzi Chen, forget about this golden ticket...... Even if it is my Tiantong Commercial Bank and Chen Gongzi, you have a good fate. β
"Thank you to Shopkeeper Fan, I brought these materials back."
Chen Che said and closed the wooden box.
"Chen Gongzi is light."
Fan Yu said respectfully.
"Well, farewell."
Chen Che picked up the wooden box, took Shen Kunpeng and turned around and left Tiantong Commercial Bank.
β¦β¦
On the way back, Chen Che fell into deep thought.
Nowadays, there are only two ways to find out the truth.
The first way is to find Li Shuyuan and Xu Shi, and then ask them directly.
The second way is to go to the capital and capture the high-ranking members of the Jishi League or the Imperial City Army alive, and then ask them about the situation.
Since the Jishimeng had sent people to Stone Fire City to find him, there was a good chance that he would know some truths.
In addition, the Imperial City Army also sent people to kill themselves, indicating that they also knew some hidden secrets.
To be honest, Chen Che really wanted to take the first path.
Because some things are more credible if they are confronted face to face.
But if he really can't find those two, then he can only take the second way.
Now Great Xia is almost unified......
He wants to go to the capital to capture the high-level people alive, which is difficult to imagine.
Thinking of this, Chen Che subconsciously took out a Soul Nourishing Pill from his arms and swallowed it.
Although he has stepped into the realm of the gods, his strength has not yet reached the point where he cannot advance.
He was going to continue to work hard to improve his strength while looking for someone.
β¦β¦
Back at the mountain base, the snow had completely stopped.
At the door of her home, Wang Rou was clearing the snow.
Seeing Chen Che coming back, she immediately put down the broom.
"Che'er, I haven't seen you for some days, why do you have time to come back today?"
Chen Che looked at his mother's haggard face, and said helplessly: "Mother, it's not like no one has done these things, why do you have to work yourself?" β
"It's not a heavy job, it's fine, and it's always good to move more."
Wang Rou said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Wang Rou paused and whispered, "Che'er, I heard some news that the Fengyi Army seems to have been defeated, right?" β
"Hmm."
Chen Che nodded slightly.
Wang Rou looked at Chen Che's pale face, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Che'er, to be honest, my mother really didn't expect you to have such a talent in martial arts......
I heard from the people of the Divine Fire Sect that if you want to step into a higher realm, you need to leave Great Xia, right? β
"That's right."
Chen Che answered again.
"If you want to go, just go......
This world is very wide, and my mother doesn't want to be a drag on you. β
Wang Rou gently wiped the snow off Chen Che's shoulders and said with a smile.
Chen Che's nose was sour, and he squeezed out a somewhat ugly smile.
"Mother, don't worry, if I want to leave Great Xia, I will definitely take you and my uncle with me."
"But I heard that I want to leave Great Xia......
Before Wang Rou could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Che and said, "What others can't do, I can do it with your son." β
Speaking of this, Chen Che changed his words and said directly: "Mother, I started to investigate my father's matter." β
Wang Rou's expression froze when she heard this, and her eyes instantly became extremely complicated.
After a moment, she sighed lightly and said, "What else to check?" Nine times out of ten, he is no longer alive. β
Seeing that his mother's face was full of longing, Chen Che felt a pain in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses.
What is the reason why he wants to find out about this?
Isn't it for the mother?
But if the truth is too cruel, can the mother accept it?
"Mother, what kind of person do you think your father is?"
Chen Che asked softly.
Hearing this, a hint of remembrance flashed in Wang Rou's eyes, and she replied softly:
"He's a good ...... Very upright people. β
Chen Che didn't know what to say for a while.
If he finds out the truth and finds out that one of the two is Chen Zhao, and it is confirmed that Chen Zhao abandoned his wife and children.
When the time comes, this truth will be told to the mother, will the mother be able to bear it?
In contrast, it would be better to tell her that the man did die halfway through.
"Che'er, if you find anything, you can tell me directly, no matter what the result is, I can accept it."
Wang Rou whispered.
"Hmm...... Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely tell you the results as soon as possible. β
Chen Che solemnly agreed.
"You haven't been back for almost a month, so my mother will cook you a meal first."
Wang Rou diverted the topic.
"Okay."
Chen Che responded with a smile, but his heart was entangled.
Because he doesn't know what kind of truth...... is the truth that can cure my mother's heart disease.
