On the second day of the morning dynasty, because the prince was guarding the emperor's sickbed at this time, he could not preside over the early dynasty, so Yin Ziping presided over it.

In the early court, Yin Ziping told the high-ranking officials about Shen Li's assassination yesterday, and then handed it over to Feng Geng, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Sima Lang, the commander of the Yulin Army, to investigate and handle it, and Shen Li supervised it.

"Your Excellency! The lower officials have something important to report! 100,000 urgent! A blue-robed official ran into the court in a panic.

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Yin Ziping said.

"Just now, just now! Someone is going to assassinate the prince! The blue-robed official said breathlessly.

"How bold! Is the prince okay? Yin Ziping said indignantly.

"The prince is fine, he has the protection of a master, but he let the assassin escape." The blue-robed official said.

"Feng Geng, Sima Lang, the assassination of the prince and the assassination of Shen Li will be handled together, you two will investigate now! Shen Li also went forward. Yin Ziping said.

The three named men came out of the ranks, saluted, and then retired from the court.

Shen Li and the three of them hurriedly came to the door of the emperor's bedroom, and Shen Li saw a very familiar figure here, so he went up to talk.

"Fourth grandfather, why are you here?" Shen Li asked.

"Yo, it's Shen boy, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are an official?" The fourth elder of the Xiao family said.

"The fourth grandfather smiled, the prince was just assassinated, and the prime minister sent the three of me to investigate the case." Shen Li said.

At this time, Sima Lang and Feng Geng also ran over to greet the four elders.

"Someone wanted to kill my grandson, but I stopped him, I think this person is also the Jindan realm, but the body is ridiculously fast, I can't catch up with him, he escaped." The fourth elder of the Xiao family said.

"Even Elder Xiao can't catch up? The Jindan realm people who live in our city have all been recorded and filed in our criminal department, and I have never heard of those who are so fast. Feng Geng shook his head and said.

"Have you ever heard of a sect that was given its lair by the Qingyunmen and the other sects thirty years ago because of its many evils, and the remnants of the forces have not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years." Sima Lang said, holding his chin.

"Sima boy, you mean the Red Lotus Sect?" The four elders asked Sima Lang uncertainly.

"Exactly! Back then, the encirclement and suppression of the Red Lotus Sect was not wiped out, and many disciples escaped, hiding incognito for many years, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Qingyun Sect, the Red Lotus Sect is known for its body and palm skills! Yesterday I examined the bodies of horses and coachmen, and the fatal wounds were like red lotus palms! Sima Lang said.

"That's not easy to do, the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect have always come and gone without a trace, their body is outstanding, and their palms are sharp, and our entire criminal department is just a golden pill period for me, so how can I catch it? Why don't we report to the prime minister quickly? Feng Geng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said.

"Can you do it, a squire of the Criminal Department? What a coward! Sima Lang said disdainfully.

"They didn't complete the assassination mission, and there is a high probability that they will have to do it. Their target is not only the crown prince is me, if you assassinate the prince, it is obvious that it has something to do with the seizure of the throne! But why assassinate me? It may be because I am an envoy sent by Qingyunmen, and the assassins have a grudge against Qingyunmen! Shen Li analyzed.

"You three hurry up and check, I don't like to use my brain, I'm only responsible for protecting my cousin." After the four elders finished speaking, they turned around and entered the hall.

"Shall we go in and ask the prince?" Feng Geng looked at Sima Lang and Shen Lidao.

"Let's go, I won't be able to ask any clues, you hurry back and send the arrester from your criminal department to the city to investigate the foreign population and suspicious people." Sima Lang said.

"Is our life a quick catch not a life? If we really encounter the remnants of the Blue Lotus Sect, wouldn't we be able to shoot our catchers into mud with one palm? Feng Geng asked Sima Lang rhetorically.

"Do you have a problem with your horse? You won't let the catcher change into civilian clothes and go on an unannounced visit? What cases have you cracked in the past few years? What a bunch of rubbish! Sima Lang said angrily.

"Humph! You Yulin Army is not wasted? Assassins dare to run into the Imperial City to assassinate them! Slap in the face? Feng Geng didn't suffer either, and sneered at each other.

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" Sima Lang pointed to Feng Geng's nose and said.

Shen Li looked at Feng Geng, don't look as tall as Sima Lang, but he is also very strong, since he dares to argue with Sima Lang, his cultivation should be comparable to Sima Lang.

"Hmph, keep your mouth clean! Do you think Lao Tzu is afraid of you? What is the cattle ratio that comes out of Tiangangmen? Feng Geng did not show weakness.

Shen Li hurriedly stood between the two, separated the two, and said, "Okay, okay, that is His Majesty's dormitory, don't quarrel with the two of you, let's find a place to sit down and think about it in the long run." ”

"I listen to Shen Yushi." Feng Geng raised his head and said.

Sima Lang glared at Feng Geng again and said, "Hmph, something!" ”

The three of them first came to the yamen of the Criminal Department to find the record of the immortal cultivators in the Jindan period.

"There are only a dozen or so permanent residents, and the filings are all here." Feng Geng took out a stack of documents and said.

"Then let's take a look at them one by one." Shen Li said as he flipped through the documents.

"There are a total of six people who have not recorded the inheritance and sect, is it possible that the people of the Blue Lotus Sect are among these six people?" Shen Li said after reading these filings.

"Possibly." Sima Lang said.

"Feng Shilang, can you please lead me and Commander Sima to visit these six people one by one?" Shen Li said to Feng Geng.

"Shen Yushi is polite, don't bother, let's go." Feng Geng greeted Shen Li with a smile.

In Feng Geng's opinion, although he and Shen Li are both third-grade officials, the relationship between Shen Li and Yin Cheng is not ordinary, so it is natural to handle the relationship well, and even to lower his posture.

Feng Geng took Shen Li and Sima Lang to the place where the six Jindan immortal cultivators lived in the city, and investigated the six of them one by one.

Of the six loose cultivators in the Jindan period, one is the Xiao family, which can basically be ruled out; One is a guest of the Yan family, like Sima Lang, the pure body art school, unlike assassins; The two have been out of the city for a long time and have not returned; One is the bodyguard of the second prince, although it may be, but because there is no evidence, he can only be stopped; It wasn't until he saw the Jindan period bodyguard hired by the Chamber of Commerce that Shen Li found that something was wrong, Shen Li first glanced at this person, obviously feeling that this person's gaze was dodging.

Shen Li thought to himself: "This person is very close to the person who stabbed me that day in size and height, if you can determine whether this person has an injury to his left shoulder or back, you can basically conclude it." ”

"What the hell is going on with you? I've got to be busy. The chamber of commerce bodyguard said.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to disturb your time, but it's actually nothing, it's just to do a statistical survey on the physical health of the Jindan stage cultivators in the city." Shen Li said.

"I'm fine, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave now." The chamber of commerce's bodyguards have already begun to pick people up.

Shen Li gave Sima Lang a look at this time.

Sima Lang immediately understood, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed the left shoulder of the chamber of commerce's bodyguard with his big hand.

"What are you doing! Let go. The chamber of commerce bodyguard looked at Sima Lang and said in surprise.

Sima Lang saw that this person didn't make a painful expression, but was only slightly frightened, so he let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you." Shen Li first saluted the bodyguard of the Chamber of Commerce, and then said goodbye.

"It's okay, it's right to cooperate with the yamen." The bodyguard of the Chamber of Commerce said politely.

After it was determined that Shen Li and the three of them were gone, the chamber of commerce's bodyguard showed a very sad and painful expression on his face, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", his hands supported the ground, the wound on his left shoulder suddenly collapsed, blood flowed out, and gradually stained half of his clothes, at this moment he took out a pill and put it in his mouth, and then stood up with difficulty against the wall.
