"Lord Lu is tired of carriage, it's not peaceful on the way from Chuzhou to here? I have already booked Fengning Tower and welcomed Lord Lu tonight!"

"How dare you let the prince spend money..." Lu Sheng was about to refuse, but he didn't want to be interrupted by Si En.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. One of the officials above the fourth rank of Xining Prefecture will come to another. If you don't come, you will not give me face. That's it. In the past year, you took Lord Lu to hand over your post. I'll go find my Xiaofeng..."

The King of Xiaoyao came silently, walked without breath, his figure flashed, and the person had disappeared. Seeing Si En's style, he looked like a martial artsman in the martial arts world.

"Don't blame Lord Lu, this Xiaoyao King is so unique... Just be accustomed to it."

"What? You often have contact with King Xiaoyao?"

"This is not, but King Xiaoyao often comes to Xining Mansion for a happy and romantic life, and every time he comes, he invites us officials above the fourth rank to dinner. He will be familiar with it after a while.

In fact, this person has a cold face and a warm heart. Although his words are sometimes unpleasant and can inadvertently hurt people's hearts, inviting officials at all levels to dinner is simply to know that Lanzhou officials are poor and find reasons to improve their food."

"It's like this!" Lu Sheng changed his mind about Xiaoyao, but he didn't fully believe it. He pushed the Xuantian Mansion away and it was cleaned up inside.

When I stepped into Xuantian Mansion, I exuded a strong fragrance of flowers. I walked into the backyard and painted sparse human figures with lime on the ground.

"Mr. Lu, after lunch time, almost everyone was killed in the canteen. These people had just walked out of the canteen and died of poison."

Meng's low voice sounded, pointing to the well covered with stone slabs in front of him and said, "The murderer poisoned the well water, and it can be confirmed that it was poisoned in the morning."

Because the canteen also uses this well water to cook in the morning, the Xuantian Mansion was not poisoned, but the well water was highly poisonous at noon."

"Premier Meng, I remember that Mo Cangkong should be a master of the innate realm, right? Ordinary poisons should be ineffective against him."

"But this time the poison was not an ordinary poison. The person who died of poisoning in Xuantian Mansion was golden all over, as if he had crossed a layer of gold. Moreover, after the poisoning, the corpse was as hard as gold, and the corpse did not rot. It has been almost a month since it has passed. There is still no sign of rot."

"Oh? There is such a magical poison? Where is the corpse sample?"

"In the mortuary of Xining Prefecture."

"Let's go, take me to see it immediately! Gai Ying, Xianyun, take your brothers to clean up the Xuantian Mansion. Don't move the well in the canteen, wait for me to come back to deal with it. Settle it yourself!"

"yes!"

Following Meng Xiannian to the Xining Prefecture Office, then led by the prefect to the morgue. Seven or eight corpses were lying quietly on the wooden boards. In the hot climate today, there was no anti-corrosion measures.

At Lu Sheng's instructions, the yamen runners lifted the white cloth and exposed eight corpses that looked like the golden body of Buddha. There was no pain on each corpse's face, and they walked peacefully.

If it weren't for knowing that these were all the corpses of Xuantianwei, Lu Sheng would have thought they were Buddhist Golden Body Bodhisattvas.

Lu Sheng stepped forward and carefully observed the corpse. The surface of the corpse was smooth, golden, and had metal reflection. The muscle texture was still full, without any dehydration or corruption.

Lu Sheng wore gloves and gently touched the body.

The touch was hard and cold, as if the person in front of him was really a pure gold figure. With a little force, the place where the fingers were pressed collapsed, but after pressing it, it did not bounce back here, but kept sinking like a can that was pinched flat.

"Get a knife!" Lu Sheng said lightly, and the yamen runner pulled out his sword and handed it to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng stared at the yamen runner in a daze, and the atmosphere was once depressed.

"Little Knife!"

"Oh!" The yamen runner quickly took the sword back into the scabbard and took out a knife from the drawer not far away. After Lu Sheng took it, he gently drew a hole around the collapsed position.

Golden blood overflowed and deposited in the sunken area to form a golden lake.

"Is he Mo Cangkong?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.

"good!"

"Does Mo Cangkong have enemies?" This is the first question that Lu Sheng thought of, vendetta! Because the murderer's purpose is very clear, it is Xuantian Mansion. Vengeance has always been the largest possibility of such a family-killing case.

"It's all from the sea of ​​swords and blood. How can there be no enemy?

Mo Cangkong had a distant life experience and had a tragic fate. He was originally the son of the leader of the Jienu tribe in Lanzhou. When he was young, the tribe rebelled and he escaped successfully under the cover of his loyal servants.

Later, he was taken in by a martial arts sect. Five years later, the rebels from his tribe were overthrown, and Mo Cangkong was welcomed again as the leader of the tribe.

At that time, Mo Cangkong had grown into a handsome young man. Mo Cangkong simply accepted the court's invitation, and the Jienu tribe completely surrendered to the court. Mo Cangkong acted as an envoy to persuade other scattered tribes to surrender, and personally joined the court's border army to take down all tribes in Lanzhou that had been in conflict with the government's governance one by one.

In the past, Lanzhou tribes have been in endless troubles, and Lanzhou officials are also the most dangerous in the 19 states of China. Sometimes when they sleep, they wake up the next day and become prisoners and are taken to sacrifice to the flag.

Since then, although Lanzhou is poor, the people do not need to live a life of fear. Don’t be as simple as Lanzhou’s achievements, it cannot be said to be a small profit. However, for this reason, there are many people who hate it as a slave, a traitor, and a traitor."

"Then how did he become the Xuantian Mansion General Town?" Lu Sheng was very curious about this.

The Xuantian Mansion is now divided into three major factions. The first is naturally the Jinling faction, mainly Wuzhou, Jeju and Chuzhou. The Xuantian Mansion General Town is all the senior leaders who left Jinling back then. Moreover, this faction is also called the Xuantian Mansion Directionality. At least, both the emperor and the court think so.

Another faction is the noble faction of the family. The strength of this faction can compete with the direct lineage of Xuantian Mansion, but everyone knows that their strength is only its own strength, but it does not have the heart of the emperor. In the court, if it does not have the heart of the emperor, it will not become a climate. If the emperor does not trust you, no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless.

The last faction is this kind of wild path, neither a clan nor from Jinling, but can stand alone and fight for the enemy.

"After helping the court to wipe out the Lanzhou tribe, Mo Cangkong served as the commander of the Lanzhou local security army, but Lanzhou already has border troops, so this position is a bit redundant.

But if there is no such position, it is impossible to satisfy the tribes who submit to the court. It happened that the Xuantian Prefecture in Lanzhou was established five years ago. With the strong support of various tribes and the local family members in Lanzhou were indifferent, Mo Cangkong took charge of Xuantian Prefecture.

Unfortunately... after all, his talent is limited, and his vision is too small. He is greedy for accepting bribes, lust, and mediocre, which is a waste of the golden signboard of Xuantian Mansion!" Meng Xiannian said this very bluntly.

When Lu Sheng saw Meng's tone change in previous years, he was also surprised.

"Lord Lu doesn't need to be confused. Merit is merit, and fault is fault! Some people have made contributions to the country and the country in the first half of their lives, and there is nothing strange about the country and the country in the second half of their lives. On the contrary, most people are like this.

People like Mo Cangkong put him on the battlefield to kill enemies and make achievements, but putting him in the position of Xuantian Prefecture is a misfortune of the family and country. I came to Lanzhou 17 years ago, and it can be said that he had gone from a meritorious official to a treacherous official step by step." As he said that, Meng looked at Lu Sheng deeply, which was considered a warning.

Lu Sheng sniffed and smiled, "Why did the prefect not expose it to the court when he saw this? He also let Mo Cangkong stay in Xuantian Mansion for so long?"

"The emperor naturally has his considerations." This is very clear. Reporting is useless!

"All the Xuantian Mansion's General Mansion were poisoned? There was no living person?"

"There are thirty-two survivors, but I was all sent to the prison and waited for the death penalty."

“Why?”

"The poison was poisoned in the morning, and people came and went in Xuantian Mansion at that time. If they could poison without knowing it, they would definitely be insiders of Xuantian Mansion. Among these thirty-two people, there must be a murderer who poisoned it."

"Premier Meng is too arbitrary?"

"Oh? What are your opinions?"

"At least I can calmly go to the well and then leave calmly, ensuring that I can't breathe without knowing it!"

Meng looked at Lu Sheng regularly and nodded seriously after a long time, "Since Lord Lu said that, it is indeed my official hasty. Since the court sent Lord Lu, he would definitely want Lord Lu to solve this case, and I should also hand over the case to Lord Lu.

The corresponding evidence and case information are all in the prefect's office. I will order someone to send it to Xuantian's office in a while."

"I'm working hard, where are the surviving brothers of Xuantian Mansion who were detained?"

"In the government office, heavenly prison!"

"take me!"

Lu Sheng's brows suddenly frowned when he was taken to the Tianzhu by the runners of Xining Prefecture. The environment of the Tianzhu can be said to be similar to the first time Lu Sheng went to the Suzhou Tianzhu.

It is gloomy, damp, and exudes a strong stench.

In the prison, it's like hell.

The more Lu Sheng walked in, the more gloomy the heart became. The weak wailing sounds were like crying from the evil ghosts in hell.

Each cell has a pair of dirty hands. With this environment and sanitary conditions, we will ensure that we will die of illness after living in less than a year.

"ah--"

"Is it a move?"

"ah--"

There were sounds of torture and Lu Sheng was taken to the interrogation room at the deepest part of the cell. Four or five naked men were tied to the cross with disheveled hair.

And the jailers with ferocious faces were torturing them.

"Is it a move?"

"They are the Xuantian Guards who survived Xuantian Mansion?" Lu Sheng's face changed drastically and he shouted sternly.

The aura of the Taoist master instantly scared the prison guard to collapse on the ground as if he had lost his soul. In the eyes of the yamen runners, Lu Sheng was as hideous as a beast that jumped out of the ancient times.

"Whether to do it..."

Before the whip was swung, Lu Sheng's figure instantly appeared beside the prison guard and grabbed the whip stained with water.

"Who are you..." The cold eyes made the prison guard's questioning just now and stopped.

The crimson official robe, the mighty shawl, and Lu Sheng seemed to squirt out the anger in his eyes, all scared the prison guards so much that they seemed to have slammed their bodies.

"Red robe... martial arts... is it... a brother from Xuantian Mansion?" In the cell on the side wall, dozens of people suddenly squeezed outside the cell fence and looked at Lu Sheng's figure eagerly.

When I saw the words Xuantian like golden light behind Lu Sheng's official robe, I even choked with tears.

Gold, silver, copper, iron and wood... Lord Xuantian Mansion General Town!
