Chapter 144: The Importance of Society
Compared to the capitals of other countries, Xin'an Fortress is not grandiose.
Not to mention that compared with the capital of Yongguo, even Dingwu City, the capital of the Mo Kingdom, is not comparable.
When Zhuang Chengqian, the Taizu of Zhuang State, was in the capital of Hualin County, the country was still poor and white.
After several generations of operation, he slowly saved some money and successively repaired and expanded. But this capital can't get rid of that little family spirit.
A minister proposed to tear down the city and rebuild it, but Du Ruhui stopped it.
Du Ruhui admonished: "The solidity of mountains and rivers, the weight of society, in the absence of people, in the king is not in the city." ”
Zhuang Gaoxian happily accepted it, and said that the country will not be strong for a day, and the capital will not add a brick.
When Lin Zhengren came to the city cautiously, what he saw was a sharp and flamboyant figure, sitting on the city tower with a horizontal gun. Like a door god, stationed in Xin'an.
Last night's rainstorm has passed, and the morning sun is rising.
The sun broke free from the long night, shining so brightly.
He shot here alone, which means that he is in this city and reassures the people.
No matter what opponent, no matter what enemy, it is impossible for him to take a step forward in Sinanseong before his gun is broken.
Lin Zhengren narrowed his eyes.
It's too glaring. He thought.
But he had to admit that when he saw Zhu Weiwei in the city tower, the caution and anxiety in his heart had dissipated.
Sin'an is safe now. I wish I can bring people such a feeling.
"I wish you, senior brother!" he greeted without humility or arrogance.
Zhu Wei I only glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Lin Zhengren's expression was very calm, he had never known that Zhu Wei looked down on him.
"On the orders of Lord Saku, I have returned from the frontline battlefield to investigate the current situation in the capital. ”
He still explained to Zhu Wei and me, and then said to the guards who were standing tall in front of the city gate: "Where is the place where Dong met the victim? Take me to see the situation at the scene." ”
The long street where the battle took place has been completely cordoned off, and all clues have been preserved as much as possible. Because the strongest people in Zhuang Guo are not in the national capital, and the death of the deputy prime minister must have a result, so they can only seal the scene and wait for the return of those big people.
Homes on both sides of the long street could only enter and exit through the back door until the lockdown was lifted.
Dong A's head and limbs were cut off, and the body remained in the long street, untouched.
The two junior brothers who returned to Xin'an City together turned pale.
Lin Zhengren's face was expressionless, and he carefully examined the details of Dong A's body.
None of the items, including the storage box, had been touched, and the two rulers were across his severed hand.
On the torso, there is a cyan jade, which is not very valuable.
The incisions between the limbs and the skull were very smooth, and the murder weapon was a sword, a very sharp sword, which cut off the body of a supernatural inner monk, but met almost no resistance.
The severed limbs and skull have small slender openings, which are supposed to be caused by needle-like magic instruments, but they are thicker than ordinary needles......
Lin Zhengren observed very carefully, and even checked Dong A's hair several times before getting up and inspecting the entire battle environment.
Last night's showers washed away many traces, but some of them could not be washed away by the heavy rain.
For example, broken floor tiles, such as the traces left by various Taoist techniques......
Lin Zhengren bent down, picked up a lump of tarnished objects at his feet, and rubbed his fingers to confirm that it was a piece of rotten wood.
"Go back first and deliver the message to the sacrificial wine. He turned to the two junior disciples and ordered: "Dong Xiang was killed, and there was only one murderer, and he has now escaped." Xin'an City now has Senior Brother Zhu Wei in charge, and it is safe. The rear is worry-free, please fight at the front with confidence. ”
The military situation was urgent, and the trip was mainly based on wishing only me, and the two juniors and disciples of the National Academy were instructed to fly to the front in a hurry.
Lin Zhengren was very patient, and walked back and forth from the street to the end of the street four times to make sure that he did not miss a single detail.
Finally, he walked up to the castle tower and walked next to Zhu Weime.
"I wish you brother. He beckoned.
Zhu Weiwei turned his head to look at him, quietly waiting for his next step.
"I took a closer look at Dong Xiang's body. It was found that his severed limbs and skull had small slender openings, which were caused by needle-like magic instruments. I speculate that the effect of that magic weapon should be just enough to restrain Dong Xiang's endless supernatural powers. ”
Lin Zhengren had already finished the draft and said slowly: "This is enough to show that the murderer is completely aimed at Dong Xiang, he is very familiar with Dong Xiang, and he has made targeted preparations. ”
Zhu Wei still didn't speak.
"Judging from the traces of the fighting at the scene, I found that both sides of the war consciously controlled the area and did not affect the civilian households on both sides. Lin Zhengren continued: "Prime Minister Dong is the vice minister of the country, and it is natural to defend the people, but what is the reason for the murderer?"
"I guess the murderer should also be from Zhuang Guo. At least once a native of Zhuangguo. He analyzed this, and made a joke by the way: "Or, the murderer is a good person." ”
Zhu Weiwei was obviously not interested in his humor, there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly: "Say something I don't know." ”
Before Lin Zhengren, Zhu Wei and I must have also inspected Dong A's death scene, and the details that he Lin Zhengren could see, Zhu Wei and I would not miss it.
For Zhu Wei's impatience, Lin Zhengren was not angry.
It's just that his expression became serious: "The Lin family was destroyed, I don't know if you have heard of it, senior brother?"
Zhu Wei's eyes also changed: "Something to do with this?"
"That person is also a monk of the Inner Mansion with supernatural powers, and it is indeed possible to kill Dong Xiang. And ......"
Lin Zhengren said: "There is one thing that everyone may have ignored at the time, or they didn't pay much attention to it, and so did I. That person broke into the Wangjiang City Daoist Academy and forcibly demanded a Dao technique from the Daoist Academy's dean, called Rotten Wood Decision!"
Zhu Wei and I contacted the scene almost instantly: "Are you sure it's the same Dao technique?"
"It's much more powerful, but it's definitely from the same source. That kind of power...... I'm familiar with it. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zhengren was also quite annoyed, why didn't he pay attention to the rotten wood at that time, how could it be easy to be favored by a supernatural inner house monk?
He continued: "Fu Baosong of the National Court has also practiced this technique, so he should be able to determine this matter. ”
Zhu Wei's voice became obviously serious: "So what do you know about this person?"
"I was very strange at the time, for some reason, the man seemed to hate my brother Zhengli so much that he was going to put him to death. Moreover, he deliberately chose the way to drown him. This reminds me that there was a disciple of the Dao Academy of Fenglin City, who borrowed the gun of your salary from Senior Brother, and came to my Lin clan to block the door. ”
Zhu Weiwei's face was expressionless, but the air around him had become scorching.
Lin Zhengren's heart was like a peaceful lake, and he was not affected by Zhu Wei's attitude at all, and still used his own unique rhythm to say slowly: "My younger brother Lin Zhengli is just a gentleman in a small town. What kind of connection can he have in common with the highly respected Dong Xiang? I just want to get one thing, and that is the young monk named Jiang Wang. ”
"Maybe everyone in the Maple Forest City at that time was not dead. The one named Jiang Wang is back......"
"Just ......"
Lin Zhengren looked puzzled: "If that person is Jiang Wang, why did he kill Dong Xiang? Wasn't Dong Yuan his teacher at the time? Could it be that the incident in the Fenglin City was ...... in the first place?"
He stopped at this point.
That's enough.
More than enough is too much.
