In the following days, Shen Ning has been investigating the matter of Yingji's usurpation, he wants to get enough information, if the other party can't govern the world well, then this will be a big bargaining chip for him to bring down the other party.

It's a pity that there has been no progress in this matter, but when he came to the city wall of Shenjing City by chance, he saw a wanted notice.

The portrait painted on the wanted warrant, Shen Ning had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw it, for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and only in the next few days did he recall that the person wanted on the portrait shouldn't be the commander of the guards of the imperial city? It seems to be surnamed Luo, and he doesn't remember the specific name, which he still knew when he was summoned to the imperial city by Emperor Jing before.

After recalling the identity of the other party, Shen Ning was probably able to guess why this commander surnamed Luo was wanted by Yingji in the whole city, thinking that there should have been a fierce battle when Yingji was seeking power and usurping the throne, and this commander surnamed Luo should have survived that battle and hid somewhere in Shenjing City.

Thinking of this, Shen Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that the commander surnamed Luo was very likely to be the only breakthrough and the last clue to this matter.

After returning to the inn, Shen Ning immediately told Zi Fu Lingyue the news, and after hearing his story, the latter's brows furrowed slightly: "According to what you mean, our top priority now is to find this leader surnamed Luo before the imperial court." ”

Shen Ning nodded and said, "To a large extent, this leader surnamed Luo should have witnessed everything that happened that day, as long as he can be found, many mysteries can be solved." ”

Zifu Lingyue nodded when she heard this, agreeing with Shen Ning's idea very much, but she thought of a question, so she spoke: "But the current commander can't even be found by the imperial court, so how should we find him?" ”

After hearing Zi Fu Lingyue's question, Shen Ning's expression also became a little embarrassed, this is indeed a big problem, you must know that there are many cultivators in the imperial court who are good at tracking, in order to find Commander Luo, Ying Ji must have used these cultivators, but according to the current situation, the other party still has found nothing, and he and Zi Fu Lingyue are obviously not good at tracking others. It was obviously very difficult to find the commander surnamed Luo before the imperial court.

Just as the two of them were thinking about how to solve this problem, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the inn.

"Dead man."

"Come on, someone's dead!"

.............

After hearing this exclamation of fear, Shen Ning's brows furrowed slightly, he and Zi Fu Lingyue immediately put on masks, walked out of the inn, and saw a lot of people gathered outside a three-entry courtyard in a corner alley, and there was already a nearby patrol envoy at the gate of the courtyard who was in charge of guarding, and ordinary people couldn't get in.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ning had some doubts in his heart, you must know that Shenjing City belongs to the imperial city, and there are many cultivation towns here, whether it is evil cultivators or ordinary criminals, they dare not commit murder in Shenjing City, so the nerve layer is also very peaceful in this troubled world, things like murder rarely appear, but now there is this murder, which really surprised him, and he doesn't plan to leave, he wants to hear the specific process of the matter, in the discussion of the crowd, Shen Ning roughly knew the identity of the deceased, is actually a high-ranking official of the imperial court surnamed Leng, and this small courtyard is the residence of him and a wife he is in captivity.

Interestingly, Shen Ning also heard some other things from the mouths of the people nearby, this official surnamed Leng has a high status in the court, except for his own wealth, there will be no shortage of filial piety in all aspects, but his residence is the most dilapidated street in this Shenjing City.

Looking inside from the outside of the door, there are still some melons, fruits and vegetables, this official's life should be very poor, for his person, Shen Ning also has a preliminary opinion, should be an extremely honest official, as for why he suffered such a catastrophe, I think it should be offended by a certain force in the court, which caused the other party to kill it, you must know that although the current Shenjing City is dominated by cultivators, there are still many officials in the court who study hard and enter the center of power, These people are ordinary people who are good at governing the world, and they are also good at fighting for power, not only is the world not very peaceful, but the court has always been treacherous, this person is likely to be sacrificed in all aspects of the game, Shen Ning thought in his heart.

The chatter in the crowd didn't last long, because after this incident appeared, it didn't take long for a pair of cultivators from the Tsing Yi Division to rush towards this courtyard. When he saw these members of the Tsing Yi Division, Shen Ning was slightly surprised in his heart, you must know that the Tsing Yi Division has always been responsible for suppressing demons in various places, and some murder cases will not be dealt with, even if they are officials in the imperial court, at most they will assist, like these things, they have always been handled by the Tianfu Yamen, but now the people from the Tsing Yi Division appeared on the scene, which is really surprising.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Shen Ning didn't think much about it, but he and Zi Fu Lingyue hid behind the crowd, so as not to be identified by some cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division, and it didn't take long for two corpses to be brought out from the courtyard, it was the official surnamed Leng and his wife, both of them were covered with white cloths, and they couldn't see their dead appearances clearly, but Shen Ning vaguely felt a familiar aura on it, he was suddenly startled, and his eyes were a little more shocked.

But at this moment, he was not in a hurry to tell his guess to Zifu Lingyue, but quietly watched everything that happened in front of him, the personnel of the Tsing Yi Division first evacuated the crowd, and then took the two corpses to a carriage at a very fast speed, and the grandmother who found the scene for the first time, it was only now that Shen Ning had a general understanding of the cause and effect of this incident from the remarks of the surrounding people.

The reason for the matter is very simple, Leng Guan's wife is pregnant with Liujia, and Leng Guan's has always been busy dealing with government affairs, and he doesn't have much time to take care of his wife, so he spent a lot of money to find a confinement sister-in-law, and this confinement sister-in-law is the grandmother who was just taken away, when she came to Leng's house this morning, she saw two people die tragically in the hall, so she was so frightened that she immediately shouted, which led to the subsequent scenes.

Shen Ning, who knew the cause and effect, sighed slightly, and said softly to Zi Fu Lingyue: "This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, you come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

Although Zi Fu Lingyue had some doubts in her heart, she still followed Shen Ning back to the inn.
