If you want to figure out why Wu Ci was killed, you naturally have to understand the people and things he came into contact with during this period.
Obviously, the document library can provide some clues.
After Zhao Xun calmed down, he went straight to the case library and retrieved files related to Wu Ci.
As the big data of this era, the document database can cover almost everyone, including bad people.
Although Wu Ci is a hidden target for bad people, as long as he is a human being, he will leave traces.
From the records in the archives, Zhao Xun could clearly understand the person Wu Ci was monitoring recently - Wang Zhongyi, the governor of Shuozhou.
When Wang Zhongyi returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he should have kept a low profile. Unexpectedly, he threw a big banquet. According to records in the archives, officials from six ministries were present at the banquet.
Did Wu Ci notice some weird behavior of Wang Zhongyi and was silenced?
Zhao Xun's first instinct was this, but he had to investigate carefully.
However, Wang Zhongyi holds a high position and holds military power. Without conclusive evidence, even bad guys cannot directly investigate him.
So Zhao Xun decided to conduct a secret investigation.
No reason, just to be able to live up to Brother Jia and live up to the promise I made with Brother Jia.
This incident naturally alarmed the bad guy Feng Hao.
Just when Zhao Xun was planning to go to the vicinity of Wang Zhongyi's residence in Changlefang alone to investigate, the bad guy Feng Hao ordered him to go to the second floor.
"Wu Ci is dead."
When Zhao Xun appeared in front of Feng Hao, the bad handsome man said coldly.
"Yes, so I want to find out who the murderer is."
"This matter has something to do with Wang Zhongyi."
"The records in the archives all point to Wang Zhongyi. Regardless of whether the murderer is Wang Zhongyi or not, my subordinates will investigate from here."
Zhao Xun looked very calm, so calm that Feng Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"Your thinking is right. Our bad people's backstory cannot be a matter of principle. Wu Ci decided to investigate Wang Zhongyi to prove that there must be something wrong with him. What we have to do now is to find out Wu Ci's
Whether the death was caused by Wang Zhongyi? As for the shameful things about Wang Zhongyi, whether he is the murderer or not, we will dig them out one by one."
Feng Hao's eyes were very sharp, as if his eyes could kill people.
Zhao Xun felt warm in his heart.
It is obvious that this bad handsome man is a very protective person.
No matter whether he is a high-ranking official or a powerful official or a famous general, anyone who dares to touch his people will have to pay the price.
Zhao Xun could also guess from Feng Hao's attitude that there was something wrong with Wang Zhongyi.
With Feng Hao's support, Zhao Xun felt even more confident.
…
…
An autumn rain and a cold.
Looking at the light rain falling under the eaves, Wang Zhongyi stood by the study window with his hands behind his back, concentrating and saying nothing.
Quiet, everything is too quiet.
He could hear his breathing and heartbeat.
After careful calculation, he has not lived in this mansion for three years.
This luxurious mansion in Changlefang was given by the current emperor, Emperor Xianlong, and occupies one fourth of Changlefang.
However, Wang Zhongyi was stationed at the border all year round and rarely had the opportunity to live here.
This time, it was because he returned to Beijing to report on his work that Wang Zhongyi was able to live in this mansion for ten days.
In Wang Zhongyi's view, Chang'an City is just like its name, too comfortable.
If you stay in such a comfortable place for a long time, your whole body will become weak and weak, and you only want to enjoy yourself without making progress.
Wang Zhongyi felt that he was very uncomfortable staying in Chang'an and even seemed a little out of place.
According to the rules and regulations, work is reported every three years.
After debriefing, you can return to your station.
However, it has been more than ten days since Wang Zhongyi came to Chang'an, and His Majesty still has not summoned him.
Has His Majesty forgotten him?
Wang Zhongyi felt that this was possible. The emperor had many things to do and had to deal with many government affairs every day, so it was normal for him to forget about him.
But there is still a possibility that the emperor does not want to see him.
This possibility frightened Wang Zhongyi.
If a general with a heavy army is jealous of the emperor, his fate will be extremely miserable.
If the emperor deliberately left him alone, could it be that he had already lost trust in him?
The more Wang Zhongyi thought about it, the more frightened he felt, so he called his confidants and said: "Go quickly and invite Mr. Wei to come to the mansion to discuss matters. Hurry, hurry..."
…
…
As a hidden stake, the most important thing is to hide your identity and not be followed.
Zhao Xun followed Wu Ci's footsteps and repeated them, but did not get any useful information.
Also, if the murderer is really Wang Zhongyi, he will definitely erase all traces as soon as possible.
When he came to the gate of Changle Square, Zhao Xun was lost in thought when he heard someone calling him.
He looked up and saw that the person walking towards him was his master Wu Quanyi.
Zhao Xun was slightly startled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
To be honest, although Wu Quanyi was his master, the first impression he left on him was not very good.
Apart from telling him that he was more suitable for literary cultivation rather than martial arts cultivation and leaving behind a secret book called "The Initial Enlightenment of Wenzong", it did not have much impact on Zhao Xun's path of cultivation.
We met by chance today. Zhao Xun was worried again and really didn't know what to say.
"Zhao Xun, there is a lot of inconvenience here. You can come with me as my teacher."
After Wu Quanyi said that, he turned and left.
Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment and then followed.
After leaving Changlefang, Wu Quanyi walked eastward and came to Leyouyuan.
Zhao Xun was confused and quickly stepped forward and asked: "Master, why did you bring me here?"
"Master has a Taoist temple in Leyouyuan. It's easier to talk inside. You can come in with me."
Wu Quanyi pushed open the door and entered, and Zhao Xun quickly followed.
The Taoist temple is not big, and it can be seen that there are not many pilgrims on weekdays.
Except for a Taoist priest sweeping the temple, there was no one else in the temple.
When the Taoist priest saw Wu Quanyi, he immediately stopped what he was doing and bowed slightly to salute.
Wu Quanyi nodded in return.
He walked straight into a side room, and when Zhao Xun followed, he closed the door with a creak.
"Zhao Xun, you should be wondering why you met my teacher in Changle Square today. Because this was not an accidental encounter, my teacher took the initiative to find you."
Wu Quanyi said leisurely while stroking his beard: "You went to Changlefang to collect evidence, right? You are tracing the truth about Wu Ci's death!"
Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "How could Master know?"
This matter is kept secret even among the bad guys. Except for the bad guys, Feng Hao and Jia Xingwen, and Wangcai, no one else will know about it.
Could it be that there was a traitor among them?
As if seeing Zhao Xun's doubts, Wu Quanyi sighed: "Wu Ci is my teacher's nephew, so my teacher is also investigating this matter. One day ago, my teacher went to the bad guys' yamen and had an affair with Mr. Feng."
After some conversation, I learned that you were investigating this matter, so I came here to meet you."
