Chapter II: Identity
With Situ Zhong's shock, in an instant, more than a dozen chains with hooked claws flew up from the hands of the surrounding officials and took them in the direction of Li Xuan.
This made Li Xuan both shocked and angry, and his whole body was chilled.
And before he could react, Zhang Taishan roared angrily: "Situ Zhong, you dare!"
He slashed out a series of sword-like rays in front of Li Xuan's body, and actually slashed back all those hook and claw chains.
Peng Fulai also waved his hand, and a total of nineteen darts flew out of his sleeve, bouncing back all the hooks and locks that came from the second wave, and nailing them to the surrounding beams and pillars one by one.
"Can't you talk well? Situ Zhong, you don't have any evidence or physical evidence, so you dare to convict my brother?"
Situ Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Is this an attempt to resist arrest?" ”
He put down the teacup in his hand with a calm face, and at this time, his figure seemed to be motionless, but there was a strong black fist condensation, like a fierce tiger, and it bombarded Zhang Taishan's blade fiercely.
The latter couldn't resist at all, and the whole person flew backwards like cannonballs, shattering more than a dozen layers of wooden walls one after another.
Peng Fulai was ignorant for a while, in the past, the two of them had always relied on this to support the scene and be a meat shield, how could this be good?
And just as the debris was flying, Situ Zhong had already flashed in front of Li Xuan and Peng Fulai, still with an ordinary black fist, smashing into the little fat man standing in front.
Li Xuan finally came back to his senses, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he immediately pulled Peng Fulai to his side, and at the same time used his palm to freeze the ice, and tried his best to block the fist gang on the opposite side.
With a muffled sound of 'boom', the marble floor under Li Xuan's feet shattered instantly, and his people involuntarily continued to retreat, and they couldn't stop until they were twenty steps away, and almost every step stepped out of the deep pit.
However, Situ Zhong was also shocked, and glanced at his right hand in surprise.
"Sure enough, it's a cold breath. ”
I saw that a layer of cold ice had condensed on his arm, and even the qi and blood of his skin had been affected, and he was a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, Situ Zhong also found that Peng Fulai, who was next to him, lifted his sleeves violently, revealing a crossbow with a purple and gold body and a layer of aura lingering on his arm. It was a powerful magic weapon, and it was pointing at him from afar.
"Are you crazy, Situ Catcher? My brother is the son of the Sincere Bofu, the founder of the country! Don't you know that he can't be punished by the sergeant? Even if he commits a crime, it will not be your turn to deal with it in the Heavenly Mansion!"
"Really?"
Situ Zhong looked disdainful, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his words: "We Ying Tianfu is not qualified to manage, but at most an hour, Li Xuan, you will be glad that your case fell into the hands of our Ying Tianfu, you should know who Cui Hongshu is, right? He is the descendant of the Boling Cui clan, his mother is the lord of Boping, and his father is Cui Chengyou, the superintendent of Nanzhili. I guess now, the cousin who oversees the imperial history, the soldiers and horses under Cui Zizhan, the commander of the right guard of the Nanzhili Mansion Army, may be on the way to come. ”
Li Xuan finally stopped, and at this time, his chest and abdomen had already turned over and over, and a line of blood spilled from the corner of his lips.
Situ Zhong smiled coldly, his tiger eyes were still staring at Li Xuan, like a wolf and a tiger: "Come with me, Li Gongzi, I can guarantee that you will at least have no worries about your life in Yingtianfu." ”
Countless thoughts flashed in Li Xuan's mind for a while, he was a little flustered at first, whether it was as a small forensic doctor in his previous life, or as a gentleman in this era, after encountering such a thing, he would inevitably panic.
But after he got through the initial confusion, he realized that panic could not solve any problems, and his mind became unusually calm and clear.
Li Xuan knew that the lord of Boping and the Boling Cui clan were indeed offended by his family, and if it was "confirmed" that they were murderers, not only might he die in prison, but he would also affect his family.
However, judging from the current situation, he only needs to deal with it properly to defuse the crisis.
First of all, you must not follow this Situ Zhong, even if you make a big fuss here, you can't do what the other party wants.
As Peng Fulai said, the punishment is not for the scholars, which does not mean that the scholars are not punished, but not from the five punishments of ink punishment, slashing punishment, slashing punishment, palace punishment and Dapi, and cannot be interrogated by the local government.
In the absence of conclusive evidence, the local government could not directly arrest a noble like him, and even if there was ironclad evidence, he still needed to report to the Nanjing Criminal Department Shangshu, and only after obtaining permission could he interrogate someone.
But this Situ Zhong, the first thing he did when he entered Lanyue Tower was to arrest him, and this kind of practice could not but arouse suspicion.
Secondly, we must grasp the initiative, Li Xuan is sure that he has not killed anyone, then there must be clues to clear the suspicion, and he can first try to solve the problem in the way he is best at.
"Mr. Situ was arrested. ”
Li Xuan took a deep breath and bowed to Situ Zhong: "Even if you are in the same Lanyue Tower, you are the same cold palm power, it may not be my Li Xuan's doing." I wonder if Mr. Situ can let me see the corpse of this Cui Hongshu, so that I can prove my innocence?"
Situ Zhong couldn't help laughing: "Why?"
"It is a member of the Six Realms. ”
Li Xuan raised his hand and held a black wood token in his hand: "This Cui Gongzi's murder case, since it involves martial cultivation, then my Six Dao Division also has jurisdiction!"
About 1,200 years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil due to the division of local feudal towns. At that time, there were not only endless wars in the world, but also demons and evil cultivators rampant in the world. There are great sages who can't bear to see the people bored, so they take the lead between the six schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Mo, Law, and Bing, and prepare for the establishment of the 'Six Dao Division', which is responsible for killing demons and eliminating demons, and investigating all cases related to monks and demons.
After two dynasties, the power has not weakened, but has developed into a behemoth in the past thousand years, and its power is hidden above the imperial power.
Li Xuan's predecessor was just a gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but his father was quite capable, and he operated him into the Six Dao Division two years ago, although it was only the lowest status of the eight-grade 'Demon Patrol Inspection', but it gave Li Xuan in the past a crazy capital in Jinling, and also gave him the opportunity to break the situation today.
"Rokudo Division?"
Situ Zhong glanced at the token, and then fixed his eyes on Li Xuan, his eyes were even colder, and there was also ridicule, as well as a little disgust: "What about the Six Dao Divisions? As a suspect in this case, do you still want to take over this case? Let you see the corpse? Give you a chance to destroy the corpse? Take it down for me!"
Li Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, knowing that today's affairs could not be good, and he could not be at the mercy of this guy no matter what, so there was only one way left.
And just as the hook and chain in the sky flew up again, Li Xuan also put his hand into his sleeve and touched a Dao talisman inside, outside the Lanyue Tower, a soft and delicate sentence suddenly came, so that he could hear the sound that could make the ears pregnant.
"Interesting, I just heard people say that they look down on our Six Dao Divisions?"
When these words came in, the officials who were waving their hooks and chains, ready to arrest people, all looked like they had seen a ghost. Without exception, they all folded the hook and chain back around their waists with the same speed as flying, and the swords in their hands were all returned to their sheaths.
Situ Zhong's face was even more pale, he was already like an eagle with wings spread, flying close to the ceiling, and later he could condescend and use an eagle-like fist on Li Xuan and the others.
But after hearing this voice, this iron courage always caught a strange coil in mid-air, and fell back to a position four feet away from Li Xuan.
At this time, there was also a commotion outside Lanyue Tower, Li Xuan looked outside, and found that it was a girl wearing a purple narrow-sleeved skirt, covered with silver-white iron armor, tall and tall, and carrying a long knife at her waist.
This woman has delicate and beautiful facial features like animated characters, and her temperament is enchanting and charming.
She is obviously dressed in a military uniform, but she is wearing a thousand charming, amorous flavors, there is a single horn on her shoulders, a snow-white three-tailed spirit fox, it is lazy to lie on her stomach, the fox tail hooks the girl's snow-white neck, the black chirping eyes swept everyone at a glance, and she didn't care about lying down, as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate.
