After King Zunyi entered the palace to meet the Holy Emperor, he did not return to Prince Zunyi's Mansion. Instead, he left the capital directly and went to Feihe Mountain where the ancestral tomb of King Zunyi is located.
King Zunyi stayed in Feihe Mountain for several days.
On this day, as soon as King Zunyi returned to the palace, the special carriage of the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department stopped outside the palace of Zunyi.
The two people who got off the carriage were Jin An and Fatty Li. Fatty Li was holding several door-stepping gifts in his hand, which Jin An had prepared in advance.
Only Jin An and Fatty Li knew the details of the bone-picking and cannibalism case. Today, Jin An came to Prince Zunyi's Mansion to plead guilty, so he only brought Fatty Li, not other senior officials from the Criminal Investigation Department.
This is not the first time that Jin An has come to Prince Zunyi's Mansion. He has been to Prince Zunyi's Mansion several times before. Once to see Mr. Yiyun for something, and once to thank Mr. Yiyun in person for rescuing him in the underworld.
But I haven't met Mr. Yiyun several times.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
"Master Commander, have you come to see our Princess Hanyun again?"
"Unfortunately, Princess Hanyun is at Feihe Mountain today and is not in the mansion."
The servant replied familiarly, he had repeated the same words more than once.
Jin An smiled and said: "I heard that King Zunyi is in the mansion. Please tell me, little brother, that the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department has come to visit King Zunyi."
The servant glanced at Jin An curiously: "Master Commander, please wait for a moment. I will go in and report to you immediately."
Jin An cupped his fists and said politely: "Then you'll have to work."
The servant quickly left and returned, saying that King Zunyi had invited him, and then personally led Jin An into the palace.
In the main hall of King Zunyi, the servant asked Jin An to sit for a while and admire the flowers and trees in the flower garden. King Zunyi happened to be meeting a few visitors and would be out soon.
oh?
Unexpectedly, someone else came earlier than him. Jin An suddenly became interested and asked about the other person's identity.
The servant replied: "They are some friends from the capital who have good relations with the prince."
The servant's answer was ambiguous, and it was obvious that he was very cautious in his words and deeds. Those who hold positions in the palace are smart and clever people who know what to say and what not to say.
At the same time, it can also be seen that Prince Zunyi's palace is usually very strict in discipline.
After Jin An learned the inside story, he didn't ask any more questions, embarrassing a servant. If he really wanted to know, he could let the Criminal Investigation Department investigate a little later and find out the truth.
In fact, he already had some answers in his mind.
Several guests received by King Zunyi were very likely to become officials in the court, and their positions were so high that even the servants did not dare to discuss them too much.
Afterwards, the maid brought some tea and cakes, but the two didn't sit there for long before King Zunyi came into the main hall to meet them.
King Zunyi wore ordinary clothes in the palace. His temples were slightly white, but his face did not look aged or rough. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were particularly black and bright. He had the insight and sharpness of a general who is marching and fighting.
Its radiance, whenever it is glanced at a person, will shock one's heart.
King Zunyi is tall, half a head taller than Jin An, but not burly. He gives people a sense of leanness with refined muscles and solid blood. His body exudes a deep and heavy aura, giving people a sense of support.
The majesty of heaven and earth.
As soon as King Zunyi entered the main hall, he noticed Jin An at first sight: "He is worthy of being the youngest martial arts immortal. He has destroyed the Holy Land of Wusheng and the Immortal Mountain."
"Marquis Shenwu has a majestic appearance and majestic weapons. He looks like a great hero at first glance."
King Zunyi is not as serious and severe as he appears on the surface, and he laughs heartily when he opens his mouth.
"I have met King Zunyi."
Jin An stood up and bowed with his fists, and Fatty Li quickly followed.
"Lord Shenwuhou, there is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, I have known Lord Shenwu for some time."
Jin An's eyes were puzzled. He thought for a while and was very sure that this was the first time he met King Zunyi today and he had not known each other before.
King Zunyi sat down on the Grand Master's chair and said with a hearty smile: "When I was guarding the border fortress, I had already heard various rumors related to Marquis Shenwu from traveling merchants from various countries. The Holy Land of Wusheng and the Everlasting Mountain are not earth-shattering.
Big deal. These are evil cults that have done harm to people for thousands of years. Marquis Shenwu wiped them out, eradicating the root of a thousand-year evil for the people, and the people support it very loudly."
Jin'an was always humble and did not take credit for himself.
King Zunyi was slightly displeased and said: "Marquis Shenwu doesn't have to be too modest. What young man is not young and energetic? As the youngest martial arts immortal in history, Marquis Shenwu will be too modest and will give people a bad impression, which will leave a deep impression on the city."
"Young people should be energetic and enthusiastic. Those hypocritical polite words are left to us pedantic old people."
Jin An clasped his fists: "King Zunyi is enlightened."
Jin'an Xiao flattered King Zunyi.
Fatty Li looked at the two people who were complimenting each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while. He secretly thought in his heart that it seemed that he had come to visit at the right time. King Zunyi didn't seem to be such a difficult person to talk to.
King Zunyi shook his head and said, "Marquis Shenwu, don't be too busy praising me. On my way back to the capital, what I heard the most was that the people were discussing Lord Shenwu, which further deepened my understanding of Lord Shenwu."
"Marquis Shenwu has single-handedly supported folk storytellers, booksellers and bookstores in several states. I am also obsessed with Marquis Shenwu's strange books on solving cases and have collected a complete set of them."
"I have carefully read every book related to Shenwuhou. After reading these case-solving experiences of Shenwuhou, I have always been curious about Shenwuhou."
Looking at Jin An's confused eyes, King Zunyi put away his smile: ""Taoist Priest Jin'an fought against the seven sisters of the Headless Rain Fairy", "The Legend of Shenwu Marquis Jiangzhou: The Coffin Marriage Case", "The Shenwu Marquis Jiangzhou Legend: The Coffin Marriage Case"
"Disaster Case", "The Case of Cannibalism and Bone Collecting by Marquis Shenwu", "The Case of Tomb Robbery by Marquis Shenwu in Gui Mo Mountain"...the strange cases and resolutions described in these books are really all experienced by Marquis Shenwu, and they were all personally handled by Marquis Shenwu.
settle a lawsuit?"
"It is not uncommon for some unscrupulous booksellers to fabricate random writings and fabricate some unjust cases out of thin air to disrupt civil order in order to make dirty money. Some of the books on villains have been classified as banned books by the imperial court, prohibiting private dissemination among the people."
When Fatty Li heard this, he knew that King Zunyi was here to investigate, and he used private printing of books among the people to lead to the case of tomb robbery.
Feeling that King Zunyi's tone became more severe as he went on, Fatty Li hurriedly pretended to lower his head to drink tea to avoid King Zunyi's majestic gaze.
Among the ten or twenty book titles reported by King Zunyi, only two books are the focus, which are "The Case of Cannibalism and Bone Collection by Marquis Shenwu" and "The Case of Tomb Robbery at Gui Mo Mountain by Marquis Shenwu".
Both cases happened to occur near the ancestral tomb of King Zunyi.
The atmosphere in the main hall began to become heavy and depressing, and King Zunyi kept his eyes on the two of them.
