Zhenfu Division.
Li Ang looked calm on the surface, but his thoughts were racing in his mind.
He had long expected that this scene would happen,
When he followed Jiao Cheng and others to leave Chang'an City and go to the underground palace near the ghost market,
The appearance has been seen by several Pingkangfang women on the painted boat.
In addition, the silver thread used to suture wounds also remained on the corpses of Jiao Cheng and others in the underground palace.
After Jiao Cheng's death, Pingkangfang had a new manager, and Dali Temple, Wannian County and other departments tacitly agreed not to investigate further.
But if you want to investigate, sooner or later the clues can be traced back to Li Ang.
The only question is... why Zhenfu Division, and why now.
Li Ang paused his chin and said "I'm free" to the two pacification judges while thinking crazily.
His current status is as a disciple of the Academy and an uncle of the founding county. He has a title and has already entered the privileged class. Even if he meets court officials or even the royal family, he does not need to bow to him.
In the absence of conclusive evidence, who dares to doubt him and investigate him?
The two magistrates of the Prosecution Department are far from qualified. They must be at least envoy-level figures.
What's more, even if the Zhenfu Division has evidence on hand,
Confirmed that he was seriously involved in the case of Jiao Cheng's death, and secretly hid the alienated objects in the tomb of the Sword Immortal.
It should also be the Zhenfusi and Xuegong who come together - there is no direct conflict between the Zhenfusi and Xuegong, and they often handle things together when they encounter problems.
Could it be that there is a deeper hidden secret?
For example, someone, or some people, suspected that they had secretly hidden the files left by Jiao Cheng, which recorded a lot of dirty information about powerful people, so they risked taboos and knocked on the door to give hints?
Or is it that Mo Si in the tomb of the Sword Immortal is far more important than he imagined. The mastermind behind Jiao Cheng wants to take risks?
"I think this is a misunderstanding. I can go to the Zhenfu Division, but I need to be accompanied by a doctor from the Academy. Is that okay?"
Li Ang asked: "This request should be within the scope of the Zhenfu Division's permission, right?"
"This..."
The two judges frowned slightly and looked at each other.
Li Ang simulated the thoughts of the two people opposite him in his heart.
The Zhenfu Division is overbearing and tyrannical in handling cases. For Huai Rui, a fifth-grade doctor from the Ministry of Finance, he will be directly imprisoned and tortured after the guilt is determined.
Generally, criminals are frightened half to death when they hear that they are going to the Zhenfu Division. There are also some who commit suicide out of fear of crime.
The reason why they are so polite is entirely because of Li Ang's status as a disciple of the academy and uncle of the founding county.
Otherwise, instead of asking for assistance in the investigation, a large group of people would directly drive into Jinchengfang and kidnap Li Ang away.
"Yes, yes,"
A middle-aged judge raised his voice slightly, "But Mr. Li Xiaolang, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Huh?"
Li Ang paused for a moment, what do you mean? Isn't it normal for a disciple of the Academy to ask for help from the Academy when something happens?
Is the other side conducting a secret investigation?
"I don't understand what you two are talking about."
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, silently awakened Mo Si, and activated the new function Mo Si had obtained by swallowing the blue and black stone statue - emotional perception.
With the surge of thoughts, Mo Si awakens,
Complex and dense fragments of information poured into Li Ang's brain.
The resentment, quarrels, anger, and all the negative emotions from the neighbors rushed towards Li Ang, making him feel irritable out of thin air, wanting to spread the ink and ignite the fire of karma.
Li Ang suppressed his irritation and looked at the two magistrates of the Prosecution Department standing at the door, his eyes suddenly paused.
There is no emotion or emotion on the other side, it’s just like...
Two walking corpses.
The two judges smiled slightly and said, "The fifteenth house on Huaidefang Third Street.
The seventh store on the west bank of Zhenshui Qiaotou in Zhenzhou.
Li Xiaolangjun, do you still have any impression?"
"..."
Li Ang's eyes suddenly froze, and a murderous intention rose from deep in his heart.
"You are not from the Zhenfu Division."
Li Ang said indifferently, the chill in his tone almost freezing the air.
The two addresses reported by the other party are the residences of Song Shaoyuan and You Duzhi, and the location of Aunt Song's Lansheng Building in Zhenzhou City.
No matter how arrogant and wanton the mid-level officers of the Zhenfu Division are, no matter how hard Jiao Cheng is behind the scenes, he wants to get the so-called information.
I will never risk the disapproval of the world and threaten the relatives of the disciples of the academy.
This is something that touches the bottom line of the academy. Even if you are a relative of the emperor or the prime minister of the dynasty, if you are exposed, you will definitely die without a burial place.
"Yes and no."
The two "judges" looked at each other and smiled, then both raised their hands, reached to their temples, and pinched something with their fingertips.
Zhi——
With a slight sound, the two "judges" pulled out a long, narrow, silver-white needle from their temples.
Because the thin needle is placed diagonally, its length and position are just right to penetrate into the left and right brains.
There are still blood beads and greasy red and white things remaining on its surface.
"And here, here, here."
The two magistrates of the Prosecution Department pulled out needles one by one from their heads and bodies, keeping a strange smile on their faces.
"Who are you?"
Li Ang asked calmly.
A normal person would be in so much pain that he would be unable to move after being stabbed into fish flesh full of fish bones.
The two judges in front of them were obviously controlled by someone or some people. They came to their door and threatened themselves with the lives of Song Shaoyuan, Aunt Song and others.
"To a certain extent, you should be regarded as my junior brother."
The two judges pressed the fine needles on the face and body back under the skin.
The voices were uniform, and even the angle of the smile raised at the corner of the mouth was exactly the same, "As a kind reminder, I know that you are wearing the protective talisman written by Lian Xuanxiao. As long as it detects spiritual energy fluctuations, it will automatically turn on and block it.
Any attack below the Xuanxiao realm.
You only need to open the talisman to attract the Zhenfu Si or Xuegong Doctor in Chang'an City.
But what’s standing here are just my two clones,
The time it takes for them to find a way to cut off the connection between me and my clone, or find my real body, and eliminate me is already enough for me to kill your relatives and friends many times.
In order to verify the authenticity of my words, there are lotus flowers planted in the water tank in the corner of Song Dalang's house. The ceramics used in the house are Yue kiln celadon, and the dishes are Xing kiln white porcelain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And the shopkeeper of Lanshenglou has recently sent a third letter, which contains fifteen hundred guan sent to you.
Am I right?
If this doesn't convince you...then I'll have to write a letter and tell the Academy that you secretly hid the alienated objects obtained from the Sword Immortal's tomb."
"..."
Li Ang slowly exhaled and said calmly: "What do you want?"
Money? The secret recipe for allicin? The secret information that Jiao Cheng has hidden? Or will he become the mole in the academy?
"I just want to chat with you, junior brother, and have a good meeting."
The two judges turned slightly sideways, revealing the carriage behind them, "Junior brother, are you going to have a talk outside the city?"
"Okay."
Li Ang didn't talk nonsense, stepped out of the courtyard, closed the door with his mind, and boarded the carriage.
One of the two magistrates from the Prosecution Department drove a vehicle toward the city gate, while the other sat across from Li Ang in the carriage and said with a smile: "Junior brother, I heard that your admission to the Academy was not smooth.
p>
I almost lost my spot by Xi Yangyu."
"Not bad."
Li Ang said lightly, thinking quickly in his mind.
The waist badges of the Judges of the Suppression Division worn by both of them are genuine. The Judges of the Suppression Division are at least acquired warriors or monks from the Listening to the Rain Realm.
To be able to manipulate them like puppets, one must at least be a Cloud Patrolling Realm monk.
‘The silver needles on the two men’s bodies are definitely alien substances.
Similar techniques were mentioned in the information in the Xuegong Library. During the pre-Sui Dynasty, some sects would use fine needles to pierce other people's bodies, seal their minds, and control their bodies. This caused serious disasters in the pre-Sui Dynasty.
Those sects were eventually destroyed by sectarian wars, and their evil magic and sorcery were lost...'
Li Ang silently stared at the judge on the other side of the carriage. The person behind the puppet who claimed to be his senior brother must be a monk above the level of Xunyun Realm. He was extremely confident and had no fear of being investigated by the academy.
Pu Liuxuan’s disciple?
No, not quite.
Before leaving Zhenzhou City, Pu Liuxuan never mentioned such a thing, and Cheng Juxiu didn't mention it at all.
Traitor of the academy?
There have been cases of defection in the Academy before, but what was the other party’s purpose?
He carries a talisman on his body, and he always has the ability to open the talisman and attract the Academy and the Zhenfu Division.
Even if the two sides fight to the death, Li Ang will not be in danger.
Secondly, it’s just that the other party knows about the display at Song Shaoyuan’s home. Is Aunt Song in Lansheng Building in Zhenzhou City also under the other party’s surveillance?
Chang'an City is thousands of miles away from Zhenzhou City, and there are only a few special items in the world that can achieve real-time communication.
For example, the level 1 demon [Clear Insect], or the communication copper pieces that are only eligible for school patrols.
The carriage drove dully, with people outside the carriage and carriages and horses like dragons, all going to see the monks debating scriptures in the temple.
Soon, the vehicle drove outside the Golden Light Gate, waiting for inspection by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Put this on."
The judge in the carriage took out a leather face mask from his arms and threw it into Li Ang's arms.
Li Ang took the mask and felt it was slippery and weird, sending chills down his spine.
Li Ang stared at the other person, silently awakened the Mosi bodyguard, put on the mask, and turned into a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Next!"
The defenders who had finished searching the previous cart shouted,
The carriage silently came forward, and the judge driving the car took out a stack of documents for leaving the city that had been prepared in advance and handed them over.
Since the sudden change in Huai Rui, the censorship of Chang'an City entering and exiting the city has become much stricter. However, this censorship is based on the city defense formation.
The city gate guard didn't notice the problem and waved his hand to let the carriage pass.
"Junior brother, your beard is crooked."
The magistrate of the Prosecution Department smiled and pointed at Li Ang's cheek. Li Ang silently took off the human face mask and threw it on his seat——
This is definitely an alienated object. When I was wearing it just now, I could hear faint screams and wails.
Li Ang asked expressionlessly: "Where are we going?"
"Temple."
The judge in the carriage tilted his head, but his tone remained relaxed.
The carriage continued to drive along the official road. As the vehicle turned several intersections, the number of pedestrians and horses on the road gradually became sparse.
Pat.
The carriage ran over the stones on the roadside, drove into the field, and moved forward.
As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens, and the birds return to the forest.
The curtains of the carriage were blown by the evening breeze, and a temple appeared at the end of the horizon.
It was a long-abandoned Buddhist temple. Most of the bricks and tiles on the top of the temple were broken, the door and threshold had not been repaired for a long time, and the red paint was peeling off.
The outer walls of the temple are covered with dry vines, like the stagnant blood vessels of the deceased, giving off an aura of decay.
The temple was dimly lit with light, and the weather-beaten wooden Buddha statue still had a kind and gentle expression under the candlelight in front of the stage.
However, green mold spots and mushrooms have grown on one side of the wooden cheek, which looks evil.
A figure was already standing in the temple. It was a young man about the same age as Cheng Juxiu. He was wearing regular clothes and had the same smile as the two judges.
Squeak.
The carriage stopped in front of the ruined temple. The two judges jumped off the carriage, walked into the temple, and stood beside the young man.
Li Ang got out of the carriage expressionlessly and came to the young man, "Is this your clone too?"
Unlike the two judges, Mo Si sensed that the young man had some slight emotional fluctuations.
It's not like a completely unconscious zombie.
"Maybe."
The young man smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Introduce yourself, I am your senior brother. You can call me Yajiu."
Li Ang asked calmly, "The one who made the sword?"
He was talking about Zhang Yajiu, the swordsmith of the Yu State decades ago. The swords he forged were so sharp that Bai Letian once wrote a new Yuefu poem for him, called "Crow Jiu Sword-Thinking of the Yin"
》.
"It has something to do with it."
The young man who called himself Yajiu raised his hand, flicked the long sword tied to his waist, turned slightly to reveal the temple lobby, "Junior brother, please?"
We have walked such a long way, and we don’t care about visiting the temple.
Li Ang strode into the temple, his eyebrows raised subconsciously.
Behind the Buddha statue in the temple, a row of beautiful women are tied up.
They were all wearing silk clothes, their eyes, ears, and mouths were covered with thick cloth, and their hands and feet were tied.
Weeping and struggling under the pedestal of the Buddha statue.
"What does this mean?"
Li Ang turned around and looked at Yan Crow Jiu,
The latter smiled slightly and said in an easy-going manner: "My sincerity. Haha, junior brother, you have been in the limelight in Chang'an City during this period, and you have made so many achievements in just six months, but you are too soft-hearted and too kind.
There are three families behind Jiao Cheng, including a prince and two dignitaries from the Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
During this period, the reason why the Zhenfu Division and Dali Temple did not continue to investigate Jiao Cheng's case was that these three powerful men were secretly involved with each other, preventing each other from finding out the real cause of Jiao Cheng's death and finding the information left by Jiao Cheng.
.
Once the balance between the three is broken and someone wants to continue the investigation, they will inevitably find out that Jiao Cheng and his accomplices died in the underground palace, find out the tomb of the Sword Immortal, and finally investigate you, which will bring you trouble.
And these Pingkangfang women were all people who saw your appearance on the painting boat at that time, but you did not find out their identities afterwards and silenced them.
This is not thorough enough."
