Chapter 104: The Daughter of Taishou
Tang Xuan left, Jiang Chen was relieved, collapsed on the dragon chair, he retired the dancers and musicians, leaving only Wei De.
"Just ...... Thank you, I only know now that there are few loyal ministers in this court, otherwise Tang Xuan would not have entered the palace so easily and made a fool of me. Jiang Chen finally realized something.
"Your Majesty is obsessed with alchemy and immortality, the traitors in the court and the middle of the court, and the old ministers have served Your Majesty for many years, and seeing Your Majesty like this, my heart hurts like a wrench." Wei De knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you can know that the people are in distress, evil is rampant, and the people are already struggling to make a living. ”
"The people? It's very cheap, how much grain there is, how many people will breed, and there will always be people who are hungry......" Jiang Chen has not been in the court for a long time, and his words are very rude, not like a king at all.
Wei De stood up, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, "Prime Minister Li Chunyang is a member of the Red Blood Sect, I have long reminded Your Majesty that if such a person is appointed to control the government, how can the world not be chaotic!" That Tang Xuan has made many great contributions, and he once had the grace of saving his life, but His Majesty intended to get rid of him and almost forced him to rebel...... Acting in this way shows that His Majesty is not fit to be the emperor. ”
"You...... Do you want to do the opposite? Jiang Chen pointed at Wei De with his hand, and his body trembled.
"No, I'm just a mere ordinary person now, and I'm just making some suggestions to Your Majesty...... Your Majesty might as well follow the example of the sages, pass the throne to the prince, and be the emperor, otherwise today's events will be repeated. "Wei De is completely dead to Jiang Chen, and he is still maintaining this dilapidated court.
After becoming the emperor, although he lost his power, he could freely refine the pill in the future and pursue his own way of immortality, which was also a pleasure.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chen nodded, "What my father-in-law said is very true, I should also abdicate and make way for Xian." ”
Jiang Chen didn't want to face Tang Xuan anymore, as long as he stepped down as emperor, he would have no more troubles......
……
The new emperor succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world.
Jiang Hong, the original sixth prince, became the emperor, Jiang Hong came up to rectify the rule of officials, many traitors in the court and the central government were eliminated, and new regulations were formulated, and the capital seemed to have a new look.
Tang Xuan successfully sat on the top spot of Jin Wuwei and became the general of Jin Wuwei, and all kinds of terrible legends of Lord Tang were circulating in the capital, and everyone in the world talked about the tiger's color change.
The comfortable life did not last long, two hundred miles south of the capital, there was a major incident, many people in the south of the capital lost their lives in their sleep, but there was no trace on their bodies, this incident alarmed the emperor, so Tang Xuan was sent to investigate in person.
Tang Xuan hurried overnight and rushed to the accident site in the evening.
Nanping City!
This city is the southern gateway of the capital, the scope of the city is not large, but the city is high and deep.
Walking into the city, the streets are dark, the drizzle still does not stop, the streets are lined with some gray and black buildings, the houses on the roadside are closed, and there is not a single pedestrian on the whole street.
"Uncle, come in and play!" A woman's call came, Tang Xuan helped his hat and looked up.
This place seems to be a brothel, and some young and beautiful girls are waving with brocade handkerchiefs on the second floor, calling down to Tang Xuan, trying their best to attract customers.
What a poor woman!
Now the streets are cold, and they still have to shout here without covering, the wind has ruffled their hair, and the temperature on their bodies has taken away them, and if there are no guests upstairs, I am afraid that they will be scolded again.
In the past, Tang Xuan must have entered it, drank some tea, listened to small songs, and warmed up his body by the way, which was both helpful and fun, very happy.
But since his second visit to Immortal Island, Tang Xuan has had some shadows in his heart, and he always feels that there is a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark......
This Li Qinyin's cultivation is extremely high, and she may have the ability to understand the past, if one day she regains her freedom, then Tang Xuan will be unlucky...... Thinking about the hardships he had suffered when he was on Immortal Island before, Tang Xuan's restless and careful thoughts were taken back.
"Now that I am the Duke of Liang Guoan, my every move represents the face of the imperial court, if I am seen to be nostalgic for the land of fireworks, it is too embarrassing......" Tang Xuan muttered, he lowered his hat and continued to walk forward.
As soon as it was dark, every house closed its doors, and even this inn was not open, and the door was closed tightly!
Tang Xuan didn't want to alarm the local government, so he knocked on the door from door to door, trying to find a place to live, but it backfired, and none of these people answered.
Tang Xuanniu's temper came up, and he directly climbed over the wall into the courtyard of one of the houses, and took advantage of the night to touch the room......
It seemed to be just an ordinary farmhouse, Tang Xuan walked into the hall, it was dark inside, and he asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone, I'm in!" ”
It stands to reason that there should be a female voice inside: Dead ghost, why are you only here now~
But unexpectedly, there was silence in the house, and perhaps no one was in the house......
Today's rainy day, there are no stars and moons, after entering the bedroom, he couldn't see his five fingers, Tang Xuan carefully touched the couch, and put his hands into the quilt......
Can't go into details......
"Ah...... Girl, please forgive me, I have no intention! Tang Xuan screamed softly, took a step back, and apologized again and again.
But there was still no answer, Tang Xuan calmed down, listened carefully, and there was no sound of breathing, Tang Xuan touched the table, waved his hand to light the candle, and there was some light in the room.
Lifting the quilt, there was a woman lying on the couch, this woman was beautiful, looking about twenty years old, her eyes were round, her small mouth was abnormally open, and she did not move.
He's dead!
No wonder I didn't hear her breathing, but this person should have just died, and his body temperature was no different from that of ordinary people, and it was still hot.
The woman was in excellent shape, and eighty percent was a little widow who lived alone.
Tang Xuan removed the woman's clothes and separated the woman's legs, wanting to study why the woman was killed......
At this moment, the window suddenly exploded, and a black shadow rushed into the house, and a long sword stabbed at Tang Xuan, seeing that the figure was a woman!
Tang Xuan's attention was all on this corpse, but he ignored the situation in the courtyard, and he didn't even notice that he was approached at such a distance.
Fortunately, the other party's cultivation was not high, and it seemed that he only had the appearance of the four levels of the Qi Condensation Realm, but this sword was very exquisite, the blade was full of true qi, and the tip of the sword trembled like a spiritual snake, coming towards Tang Xuan's back.
Tang Xuan turned around, grabbed the blade of the sword between his two fingers, the other party flew up and kicked at Tang Xuan's head, Tang Xuan reached out and grabbed the other party's instep.
This person reacted very quickly, and quickly kicked his foot to the ground, but the shoes were grabbed by Tang Xuan in his hand, and the woman kicked Tang Xuan with a flirtatious leg.
Tang Xuan let go of the sword, turned around, and hid to the side.
"Who are you?" Tang Xuan threw the woman's shoes back.
At this time, Tang Xuan saw the woman in front of him clearly, this woman seemed to be only in her cardamom years, and her small appearance was extremely delicate, although it was not as thrilling as Liu Yueling's thrilling beauty, but it made people look very comfortable.
Dressed in black, she sets off a delicate and good figure, she is not very old but really good, her face is full of collagen, the baby fat is just right, and there is some heroism between her eyebrows, plus the stubborn expression of a little anger, which is indescribably cute.
The woman grabbed her shoes, blushed, and said angrily: "Come on, take down this disciple!" ”
After finishing speaking, two yacha rushed out from behind him, blocking Tang Xuan with a blade in hand.
Tang Xuan snorted coldly, took out the Jin Wuwei token from his waist, and said sharply: "Jin Wuwei handles the case, and the idle people retreat!" ”
The two yacha looked at each other, stepped forward cautiously to check, then turned their heads and said to the woman in black, "Miss, it seems to be real......"
"It's not like, it's true, in Xia Jin Wuwei Tang Xuan, as soon as he arrived here, he found that someone had been killed." Tang Xuan put the token away.
Since Tang Xuan had only been promoted recently, and Jin Wuwei had always kept a low profile, it was rare for outsiders to know Tang Xuan's name, and this girl was still a little suspicious.
"Jin Wuwei? Just you? The woman in black looked Tang Xuan up and down, a little suspicious.
"Who is the girl? Who are you to question my identity? Tang Xuan's face was displeased, he was an existence that everyone feared in the capital, and he was actually looked down upon by a little girl here.
The girl in black looked arrogant and said, "Listen, I'm Li Xiuya, the daughter of Li Songting, the Taishou of Nanping Mansion!" ”
"It turned out to be too guarded and disrespectful! In the following case, I came specifically for the murder of the people of Nanping Mansion, if there is any abruptness, please forgive me...... When I first arrived, I asked the girl for advice! Tang Xuan didn't care about the other party, after all, this Li Xiuya was a little girl, and after being too guarded, it was normal to be rude.
"To tell you the truth, I went out to practice, and I only returned to Nanping City yesterday, and I heard that there were already more than 30 victims...... I'll start with the body. ”
Li Xiuya seems to have been exposed to homicide cases, she first asked her subordinates about the identity of this person, the deceased is a local widow, usually in-depth Jane, there is no enemy.
Li Xiuya specially prepared gloves and began to examine the body, she looked very carefully, carefully examined every hair, even the ears and mouth.
After a pillar of incense, she stood up and said: "The corpse has been dead for about half an hour, because it is covered with a quilt, the body is still warm, there are no injuries on the body, there are no traces of violation, the cause of death is unknown!" ”
"Miss Li, what does the deceased's mouth mean?" Tang Xuan looked at the corpse and mentioned Li Xiuya with a smile.
"Oh! I know! Li Xiuya suddenly realized, "The murderer is a young man who fell in love with the widow's beauty, strangled her to death, and then did something very disgusting to her...... You see, there are obviously foreign objects in and out of the deceased's mouth, indicating that the murderer is a pervert! Tang Xuan, it won't be you! ”
"Fart...... How can your thoughts be so dirty at such a young age! This is obviously being sucked out of your soul, you yourself are shallow, don't blame me! Tang Xuan was so angry that he directly burst into foul language, he hadn't said dirty words for so many years, and today he finally broke the defense.
"My dad said that anyone can be a murderer, so you have to make a bold guess and then rule them out one by one...... You're the biggest suspect right now. Li Xiuya was not angry, and continued to observe the corpse.
"You said that more than 300 people have died, is this the case?" Tang Xuan asked.
"Lord Bao, most of the dead are in the same situation, not only the common people, but also some people from the government, and their cultivation is extremely high..."One of the officials replied.
"I once investigated the Red Blood Sect in Southern Fengqi City, and those Red Blood Sect demons often collect souls to feed the gods, maybe this Nanping City is mixed with the remnants of the Red Blood Sect." Tang Xuan made his own judgment.
"Now that you're the most suspicious, and your identity hasn't been confirmed, come with us!" Li Xiuya actually wanted to interrogate Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan did not refuse, and rushed to the Taishou Mansion with Li Xiuya.
