Zhao Gao sent people to monitor the mysterious Taoist nun. In fact, in her eyes, this was not a secret at all.

Because from the moment she entered the city, she knew someone was following her.

But she didn't care. She came here just for one person.

Early the next morning, Jing Ke came to Qi County and met with Zhao Gao.

At this time, the factory guards still did not notice anything unusual about the guards who stayed behind at the palace.

On weekdays, except for dining out or wandering around the streets when guarding the palace, those guards basically never had any contact with the outside world.

But Zhao Gao still stubbornly believed that there must be some problem among those guards.

Otherwise, even if you are a master of land gods, it would be impossible for you to drop such a large meteorite in the palace without being noticed.

Zhao Gao felt that he needed a breakthrough now. Once he found this breakthrough, he would know what happened to the meteor that suddenly appeared silently in the palace.

According to people who witnessed it with their own eyes at the time, a star fell from the sky and hit the palace.

But according to the guards who stayed behind in the palace, they didn't hear any noise and just appeared for no reason.

There is something strange and even more bizarre.

There can only be one explanation, and that is that the other party wanted to make this matter watertight and thus create suspicion.

Afraid of exposing myself because of this.

What he fears is exposure, not getting burned.

noon.

Zhao Gao and Jing Ke gathered together to discuss the matter.

The former said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia Xujia of Jin Yiwei, I have heard from His Majesty that he is a man of extraordinary intelligence. It is a pity that he did not come to assist me in discussing the meteorite issue today."

Jing Ke showed his sharp edge and said: "Supervisor Zhao, this matter was assigned by His Majesty. Therefore, even if the two guards jointly handle the case, the Jin Yiwei should be the main one. Now I ask Supervisor Zhao to take control of you."

Let’s talk about the information.”

Zhao Gao snorted a few times and did not answer.

He winked, and a subordinate next to him immediately understood, cupped his fist at Jing Ke and said, "Vice Commander Jing, based on the information we currently have, we know that the person who can accomplish this means that he is at least a land god.

At present, we have closely monitored all the warriors in the city, and if anyone has any trouble, we will immediately go to arrest them."

Jing Ke heard this, but he did not dare to agree with such a method that could not defeat me. He asked bluntly: "How many warriors are there in the entire Qi County?"

The Dongchang guard said neither humble nor arrogantly: "There are about a hundred of them, most of them are not locals, and quite a few of them have wandered around the palace."

Jing Ke looked at Zhao Gao, who had been drinking tea leisurely and remained calm, then sneered and said, "Supervisor Zhao, you must remember that your Majesty only gave us seven days to investigate this matter.

And now, a whole day has passed, and you are just relying on guesswork and waiting until that person reveals his flaws?

It's really ridiculous. Is this the standard of work of the governor of the East Factory? Since your factory guards are indifferent to this matter, it's better to leave it all to our Jin Yiwei to handle it personally."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left here, very decisively and resolutely, without looking back.

Zhao Gao looked at Jing Ke's leaving figure and chuckled twice.

The Dongchang guard next to him said: "This man has just served as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, but he dares not to take you seriously, the governor. Do you want your subordinates to find a few people to trip him up?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "We are all your Majesty's ministers, why should there be such a stalemate? Since he said that the Jin Yiwei had a solution, he just asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate. We just need to witness it with our own eyes and see how the dignified Jin Yiwei handles this task.

That’s all.”

The subordinate suddenly understood and said: "You mean, as long as we keep an eye on the Jin Yiwei and run the errands, we can be invincible?

If they find something, we can take the opportunity to get a share of the pie; if they don’t find anything, we will report Jing Ke’s arrogance today to His Majesty?”

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you go and keep an eye on them for me, the governor? Remember, if you stare blatantly, divide it into several groups to stare, both openly and secretly.

We have to arrange our people well."

When the factory guard heard this, he clasped his fists and stepped back.

After Jing Ke came outside, he immediately summoned the four hundred Jinyi guards he had brought from the capital this time and said to them: "No one is allowed to let go of any warrior in the city.

Check them one by one without any omissions. As long as you find out who is suspected, you must immediately extort a confession through words and deeds. Especially the high-walled warriors in the city who cannot be dealt with by themselves or who are super powerful warriors in the realm of land gods, must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Come and report to me, remember?"

Four hundred Jin Yiwei clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "No!"

This is the first thing that Jin Yiwei has taken on that His Majesty attaches great importance to, so the result can only be good and there can be no mistakes.

This is very stressful for Jing Ke.

If it is true, as the people in Dongchang say, that the person who can accomplish this is a land god, and if the other party deliberately hides his cultivation level and does not want to be exposed...then, we can only use the elimination method, step by step

The warriors in the city were slowly eliminated.

All of a sudden, all the Jinyi Guards brought by Jing Ke were dispatched and began to search for cultivators with outstanding martial arts in the city.

In the event of a conflict, Jin Yiwei from various streets in the city will come to inquire as soon as possible.

Moreover, most warriors are not willing to have a head-on conflict with Jin Yiwei.

Just because Jinyiwei, a newly-established organization, is affiliated with the imperial court, and His Majesty the Emperor has just stepped into the world, frightening everyone in the world.

Therefore, once a dispute breaks out, the result is obvious. Those warriors in the world force themselves to endure their tempers and surrender one by one, waiting for the interrogation of the Jin Yiwei.

This kind of meaningless conflict happens about six or seven times every day.

But Jin Yiwei still got no results.

Three days later, in a teahouse.

Zhao Gao stood at the highest point of the teahouse and looked down. He happened to see the conflict between the Jin Yiwei and the local warriors. He smiled at the people around him and said: "Although the method used by the Jin Yiwei is a bit clumsy, it is still a good one."

Method."

The important official of the East Factory next to him was very confused and asked respectfully: "Master Governor, I have something that I don't understand. Isn't Jin Yiwei doing this just to alert the enemy?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Do you think the master who dared to carve those words on that meteor would be frightened by the little brawl of the Jin Yiwei in front of him? Since he chose to go against the imperial court, he wouldn't do it because of this

I was shocked by the little things.

Now, it's time for our Dongchang to take action, and order our people to pay more attention to people who come in and out of various places where information can be obtained, such as some restaurants, brothels, etc., and we are not allowed to let these places go."

The subordinate replied: "I understand, Lord Governor, I will do it now."

Zhao Gao nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "What is that Taoist nun doing now?"

The man said: "Reporting to the governor, the little Taoist nun has not shown up since she entered the inn."

When Zhao Gao heard this, his expression suddenly changed. His face instantly became embarrassed. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes. This was murderous intention. He just wanted to kill someone.

He glared at his subordinate and said: "You are really a fool. Now, let the governor seal that inn! If that little Taoist nun no longer inns, let the whole city be sealed off."

Even if we turn everything upside down, we must find that Taoist nun!

If this governor’s guess is correct, she is the key to breaking the situation!”

The factory guard was so frightened that he resigned.

He rarely saw Zhao Gao get angry. Every time he saw him get angry, he felt as if he had lost half his life and became distracted.

Sure enough, when he led his people to search the inn, the Taoist nun had disappeared.

After Jin Yiwei learned the news, he immediately went to search the whole city for the Taoist nun.

At such a critical period, and under the eyes of the imperial court, he dared to put on makeup and escape. This means that this person is willing to have something to do with what happened recently.

Even if it doesn't matter, it goes against common sense. If anything goes wrong, he must be a monster and should be caught.

At the foot of Mount Tai, beside the Jishui River.

Zhao Changqing and Xuan Lingzi, the head of the Taoist Palace, are fishing.

The area with a radius of more than thirty miles was strictly guarded by the imperial army, and not even a bird could enter.

They were afraid that those birds would disturb His Majesty the Emperor's enjoyment today.

At this time, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei presented Qijun's affairs to him in an eight-hundred-mile expedited manner.

Zhao Changqing didn't want to read it, so he asked Jianyi to read it.

This time, Zhao Changqing felt a little surprised.

Because the factory guard and Jinyiwei's reports are roughly the same.

To sum up, we are working hard, but we have not found out who placed this meteorite in the palace and what conspiracy he has.

Zhao Changqing took a breath, not wanting to ruin his good mood because of the two guards. He said to Jianyi: "Bring a message to Zhao Gao and Jing Ke. They only have three days. If it is within three days,

, and if we still can’t find out the cause, then I will punish him.”

Although the words were said lightly, Jian Yi felt great pressure.

He immediately arranged for someone to ride on a thousand-mile horse and asked him to convey His Majesty the Emperor's wishes to Zhao Gao and the others.

After a while, when Zhao Changqing saw the fish taking the bait, he suddenly raised the rod and a red carp was brought ashore by him.

Looking at the red carp, Xuan Lingzi said thoughtfully with praise: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the first fish caught today is a red carp. This is also a kind of auspiciousness, and it is a sign of great prosperity for our country of Wei."
