Chapter 296: Shocking Conspiracy
Director
"Hmm" but didn't speak, and after a long silence, he said: "Old Shen, you are the oldest in our company, and I am the most trustworthy, so I have a confidential matter I want to tell you." Ignorance...... I don't know if you'll be able to hold it firmly. ”
The three words "hold firmly" naturally refer to the mouth. Shen Mingjian has been an inconspicuous little figure since he joined Heavenly Court, and anyone who comes over can reprimand and laugh at him.
Now that the director and Yan Yuese are talking to him, and there is a faint hint of cronies, it really makes Lao Shen grateful, and even gives birth to a share
The decision of "the one who is a confidant dies". He took a step forward and said loudly: "Please rest assured, no matter what you hear today, you will lock it in your heart and not say a word." If you are sent, you are willing to go to the soup and die without giving up!" The director smiled: "I really didn't look away." With a wave of his hand, the clouds and qi converged, forming a huge sphere that enveloped the two of them.
In this, there is not a sound at all. The director slowly spoke: "Old Shen, something has happened. Lord Tenra is dead. Shen Mingjian didn't react, and stammered: "Who died?" The director had to sigh and repeat: "Tianluo God is dead." Shen Mingjian was startled, and couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and feet, so he sat on the ground with his butt.
It turns out that the god of Tianluo is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, with an extraordinary status, and enjoys the treatment of opening the mansion and governing affairs. This entire Ning Shen Division is his subordinate.
Even if he is the director, he is only equivalent to the assistant of the god of Tianluo. Now that the Supreme Governor has died, it is tantamount to a ten-magnitude earthquake for Ning Shensi.
The most direct impact is that minor officials such as Shen Mingjian will lose their positions, and it is difficult to say whether they can continue to stay in Heavenly Court.
The director naturally knew what Lao Shen was thinking, and said with a pleasant face: "You don't have to be nervous. You are an old man, and you have a relationship with me, and it will not be your turn to downgrade. To be honest, for such a long time, everyone can see how you have performed. I'll hand you a note in a few days, how about making up a good errand for you?" As soon as these words came out, Shen Mingjian was really surprised and delighted, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for cultivating each other!" The director said: "It's all a trivial matter...... But I have something for you, and you have to figure it out to me. ”
"Eun Xiang even commanded. The director lowered his voice: "Old Shen, the prince died a strange death." Only then did Shen Mingjian turn his attention back to this matter.
He was born as a civil servant, and his reaction was quite agile, and after a while, he noticed many suspicious points, first, the most obvious, why did such an important person as Tianluo God die and keep it secret?
Second, his daily expenses are still being spent as usual, apparently to create the illusion that he is still alive. So where does that money go?
Who was planning the whole incident? Is it the director? Shen Mingjian had no clue, and for a moment he seemed to be falling into a cloud of five miles.
I only heard the director continue: "The meaning of the prince and the prince is not to mourn, and the reason is that the cause of death has not yet been investigated. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of the year of Gengzi in the mortal world, someone saw that the god Tianluo had not returned to the lower realm, so he went to ask the picket spirit officer. The spirit official and the prince usually call themselves brothers, but they only say that he went to the lower realm to have fun, and he didn't take it seriously at all. However, after another two days, the backlog of official documents in the official office increased, and everyone went to the saint to ask for instructions. It doesn't matter if you check this one, such a big Tianluo God is gone. The imperial court hurriedly sent people to search for the lower realm, and actually found the body of the prince in the ruins of the imperial capital of the Liang Dynasty. Shen Mingjian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Where is the body?" The director shook his head: "The upper side is hiding in order to block the news." There's an autopsy paperwork, I'll give it to you later. The general situation is as follows: the prince suffered several rather serious knife wounds on his body, but it was a kind of poison that directly caused his death. It stands to reason that if you suffer that kind of injury, you will definitely die, but why did the murderer still apply poison? Isn't this a snake to add to the problem? No one can guess what happened at that time, so I want to send you to investigate and solve this shocking case. Shen Mingjian, the son of the proposal, immediately entered the working state, he frowned and said: "Who did it, do you have a clue? Is it from the Demon Realm?" The director shook his head: "None of this is clear, it is up to you to investigate." Shen Mingjian nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it." However......" he once again saluted respectfully: "Please make it convenient for you to get documents and enter and exit the treasury." As soon as the director raised his hand, a shining jade plaque fell from the sky and fell in front of Shen Mingjian's eyes.
"Old Shen, if you hold it, the nine divisions and six departments can travel unimpeded. But remember one thing: keep a low profile. ”
"Humble duty understands. Shen Mingjian respectfully took the token, but saw that it was carved with nine dragons grabbing pearls, which was extremely gorgeous.
He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, how had he ever used such a pompous thing in his life? So he swore again: "Even if you fight for your life, you will find out!" His voice was a little choked.
"Okay...... the director waved his hand, and the clouds suddenly dispersed, and the hall was lit up again.
"You hurry up and do it, if you delay for a long time, you may be suspected. Shen Mingjian immediately resigned from the palace and returned to the courtyard next to the Nantian Gate.
Fairy Chang'e has lifted the moon into the sky, and she herself is dancing in the Milky Way with her water sleeves, sprinkling ten thousand points of clear light.
Shen Mingjian walked with his head down, his shadow became longer and longer, and he walked by unconsciously. He has been thinking about the case in his head, and there are more and more doubts.
He couldn't see the body of Tianluo God, and only got an autopsy document. The five most serious stab wounds mentioned above were all cut on the front.
Based on the width of the scar, it was caused by the same knife. This is a problem, the strength of the Tianluo God is notoriously high, who can inflict such a heavy blow on him?
If it was done by the people of the Demon Realm, they would definitely publicize it according to their style, but there have been no such rumors recently, so it shouldn't have been their doing.
Could it be ...... Shen Mingjian's heart swelled with a bad premonition, and the spirit spirit shuddered.
"Old Shen, where are you going?" Shen Mingjian was stunned for a moment, and raised his head suddenly, and in front of him was a spirit officer in silver armor and silver armor.
"What are you thinking? If you go again, you will go out of the South Heavenly Gate. Shen Mingjian smiled awkwardly and arched his hand: "A little business, I didn't feel distracted." The big officials are not to blame. With that, he turned his head and walked back.
The Nantianmen Gate is only separated by a narrow street from the Ningshen Division, and it will be there in a few moments. After a while, Shen Mingjian saw the two warm fires at the gate of the courtyard, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in his heart, he had lived in this small yamen for a long time, and he had already regarded this place as his home.
Lao Shen hurried two steps, but saw a person walking out of the yamen. This person has the same five-short figure, his appearance is not amazing, and he has a pair of small eyes on his round face, but he is cute and cute.
Shen Mingjian recognized him, this was Chang Gui, the cook in his subordinates, who looked a little similar, and was often mistaken by people he didn't know.
Old Shen Gang wanted to ask him what he had for dinner, but he saw a person suddenly jump out of the shadows under the lampstand. The man was extremely agile, and without saying a word, he strangled Chang Gui's neck.
Chang Gui struggled violently, a muffled howl coming out of his throat. However, with a wave of the man's left hand, the red light bloomed, and Chang Gui fell in a pool of blood with a thud.
Shen Mingjian was shocked and couldn't help it
"Ahh The man jerked his head up, and saw blood-red eyes under the pitch-black hood.
Lao Shen suddenly reacted, pulled his legs and ran, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, it's murderous!" The killer chased after him, and Lao Shen ran to Nantianmen with all his strength.
He knew that if he wasn't discovered by the spirit officer on duty, his little life would definitely be confessed here. His fat body turned around the corner, bumped into something, and looked up to see that it was the spirit officer who had just spoken to him.
The spirit official said angrily: "What about the funeral? Old Shen, why are you again?" Shen Mingjian breathlessly said: "Kill ...... Killed......" The spirit officer was startled, drew his knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Stand back!" and walked forward cautiously.
turned the corner, but only the cold wind blew, and there was no shadow of a killer. Only Chang Gui was left lying on the ground, looking at the night sky with unrefreshed eyes.
After disposing of the body and recording the confession, it was already the second half of the night. Shen Mingjian lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he had an ominous premonition, the killer's target was not very expensive, but himself.
Chang Gui is just a cook, who can he offend? That guy can't let go of the slightest thing in his heart, he will tell everything, how can he have any secrets.
Shen Mingjian himself was like this, but from the moment he left Ning Shensi, things were different.
He became the guardian of a great secret. At the moment, the price is considerable. The killer will soon find out that he killed the wrong person, so he will definitely come back.
Thinking of this, Lao Shen felt a chill on his neck, and his gratitude to the director was gone.
Isn't this pushing himself into the fire pit? But things also have a good side, and this assassination shows at least two problems: First, there is an eyeliner in the Ning Shen Division, and every move of himself, the director of the department, and even all his subordinates are clearly controlled.
Second, it shows that some people are afraid. They knew Shen Mingjian's ability, and even believed in Shen Mingjian, thinking that he had the ability to find out about this matter.
Otherwise, how could he do such an extreme thing as assassination? Lao Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was buried in the case file, thinking that no one appreciated him, but in the end he understood that he was actually an enemy, which was really a bit helpless.
He opened a crack in the window, and the moonlight shone brightly. Lao Shen sighed, he couldn't sleep tonight, so he simply analyzed the case.
His intuition told him that the point of starting this case was very important, and once he found the right breakthrough, all problems would be solved.
But here's where things get hard. The gods of Tianluo have a wide range of friends, and there are many enemies and friends, so it is difficult to clarify the stakes.
Shen Mingjian thought from east to west, and from south to north, but he still found nothing. Finally, when the light was bright, he couldn't hold it anymore and leaned against the pillow and took a nap.
In a dazed state, he seemed to have returned to the door of the Ning Shen Division yesterday, and his friend Yu gave something to suddenly say: "The amount is so large, Tianluo God can spend money." This was really a word that woke up the dreamer, Shen Mingjian sat up in horror, took a handful of cold water from the basin and splashed it on his face.
It was the bystander Qing who woke up Lao Shen yesterday with an unintentional mutter. Since half a year ago, the daily use of Tianluo God has suddenly tripled, and the cost of arrest is more than several times the usual.
At that time, the reason given by the god of Tianluo was that the demon world was in turmoil and needed to send more manpower. He is an old nature, he has the final say, and the people below only need to report to the court truthfully, as long as the amount matches the list, there will be no doubts.
But now that I think about it, it's so weird. The Demon Realm doesn't stop every year, but I haven't seen a time when the cost has increased so much.
Moreover, not long ago, the envoy also specially inspected the treasury of the Ningshen Division, praising them for their proper management, and the maintenance of weapons and armor was as good as new.
Fighting often, will these equipment still be brand new? Anyway, Shen Mingjian didn't believe it. I still remember that when he first joined the company, an old judge once told him: Those who are investigating officials must first check on their wealth and goods, and they will try all kinds of things, and he will forget this after a long time.
Fortunately, it's not too late to think about it. Shen Mingjian hurriedly ate some breakfast, and then studied Ning Shensi's accounts.
It doesn't matter if it's unbearable, he was startled when he saw it was really solid. Not only the daily expenses and anti-theft, but also other items have huge deficits.
Of course, each of these seems to be only slightly more than usual, but the sum up is quite large.
Shen Mingjian only felt his heart pounding, what did the Tianluo God want to do with so much silver?
"Money" does not refer to silver, it only means one thing: Nedan. Although mortals may not believe it, immortals also die, and the official saying is "silence" or
"Annihilation". As advanced as it sounds, dying is never pleasant. Moreover, immortals cannot be reincarnated when they die, they are supreme spiritual bodies, and there is no body to hold them, so the immortals disappear in the vast universe after death.
"Annihilation" does sound better than
"Dead" is more accurate. No god wants to die, and even though their lifespan is much higher than that of mortals, they still tirelessly pursue eternal life.
At least theoretically, for immortals, eternal life is feasible. The method is very simple, and that is to take Neidan.
The so-called Inner Pill is the essence of mana condensation, which can be taken by people, and the number of years of life extension is determined by its quality.
There are two main sources of Inner Dan, one of which is Taishang Laojun's furnace refining - this kind of Inner Dan has a very small output and is very valuable, and it is called
"Jindan" is often used as a reward, and each one can prolong the life of several thousand years. As for the second type, it is cultivated by each person, the quality is uneven, and generally speaking, the stronger the person, the better his inner pill will be.
A petty official like Lao Shen just exchanged his job for some Neidan and barely survived.
As for what Heavenly Court takes to pay everyone, this is an open secret - the Demon Fighting Realm. The people of the Demon Realm are also cultivating all the time.
Except for the strange taste, their inner pills have no different functions from the immortals. Of course, the Demon Realm thought of it with them, and so the war began.
