When he entered the Zhenwu Division, Zhuge Zhengwo greeted him.
"Your Highness, Jing Wuying has made a move."
"Oh! So fast!" Qin Wei was slightly surprised.
Zhuge Zhengwo looked a little embarrassed and said: "The methods of the prison chief of the punishment department are a bit ruthless."
Although he had borrowed the jailers from the Ministry of Punishment, he did not expect that their methods would be so cruel.
Those tortures were more terrifying than the eighteen levels of hell.
Qin Wei didn't care about the methods of those prison officials, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"Chengguo Duke Mansion!" Zhuge Zhengwo said.
"Dong Cheng!" Qin Wei frowned.
"Probably not. Duke Cheng's methods should not be so despicable. I suspect it is Lu Shangqing, the eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion!" Zhuge Zhengwo said.
Jing Wuying only knew that the person who contacted him was from the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, but he didn't know who was behind the scenes.
Qin Wei frowned and walked into the study.
"Continue to investigate, as well as the matter of my last poisoning, everything will come to light."
"I want to see if this Lu Shangqing is really bold!"
"Here!" Zhuge said straight to me.
"Your Highness, I have something I would like to ask Your Highness to agree to!" he said again.
"What's up?"
"The lower official would like to invite Jing Wuying to join the Zhenwu Division."
Qin Wei looked at Zhuge Zhengwo in surprise, "Can he be trusted?"
"Although this person has a despicable personality, he is not without weaknesses. The subordinates can control him."
Zhuge Zhengwo said.
Qin Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "It's up to you."
An assassin like Jing Wuying doesn't know how to be loyal. Leaving him in the Zhenwu Division will most likely become a disaster. If Zhuge Zhengwo hadn't requested it, Qin Wei would not have given Jing Wuying a chance to live.
He doesn't believe in Jing Wuying, but he believes in Zhuge Zhengwo.
Zhuge Zhengwo has extraordinary wisdom and strong charisma. Since he said he can control Jing Wuying, it is not unreasonable.
"Your Highness, something happened!"
Just as Qin Wei and Zhuge Zhengwo were talking, a burst of rapid footsteps accompanied by exclamations broke into Qin Wei's study.
The two frowned and looked towards the door.
I saw Cui Shimao running in with a panicked look on his face.
"What happened?" Qin Wei asked.
"The Yunyan Sect was wiped out last night. A total of 340 people from the Yunyan Sect, from the sect master to the disciples, as well as the sect's servants, died tragically overnight, leaving not a single person alive," Cui Shimao said.
Qin Wei's expression changed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
The Yunyan Sect was wiped out!
This is really an unexpected thing.
As one of the three major sects around Kyoto, the Yunyan Sect is not weak in strength. There are two eighth-level warriors, six seventh-level warriors, and more than 300 disciples in its sect.
But overnight, the Yunyan Sect was massacred, and the force that took action was definitely not an ordinary force.
"Gather the troops and head to Yunyan Sect!"
Qin Wei ordered Cui Shimao.
The Zhenwu Division has the responsibility to crack down on crimes committed by warriors. For such a major case, the Zupwu Division will naturally be involved in the review.
"Here!" Cui Shimao responded.
"Your Highness, do you want to go down and go with us?" Zhuge Zhengwo asked.
"No, you should first investigate the matter of assassinating this king." Qin Wei said.
After a while, the gate of the Zhenwu Division suddenly opened, and hundreds of soldiers galloped out on horseback.
The Yunyan Sect's sect is located in Yunyan Mountain, twenty miles west of Kyoto.
The Yunyan Sect's Yunyan Mountain, the Xinyi Sect's Cuiming Mountain, and the Fengqing Sect's Qingling Mountain. These three sects are all located in the west of Kyoto. The three peaks are in the same line, and they all belong to the remnants of the Beiling Mountains.
Three peaks surround Mingxin Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
Qin Wei rode a horse on the official road at an extremely fast speed. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the Mingxin Lake.
At this time, the fog on the lake has not dissipated. The mist is hazy, and coupled with the bright sunshine falling on the sky, it is a beautiful scene with clear water and clear water.
Unfortunately, Qin Wei was not in the mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery at this time. He just glanced at it and flew towards Yunyan Mountain.
When they arrived at Yunyan Mountain, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture had already blocked Yunyan Mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Qin Wei looked up and saw pavilions and golden roofs among the green mountains and forests.
"Meet His Highness the County King!"
When Lu Tong saw Qin Wei coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
Qin Wei dismounted, followed closely by Yuwen Chengdu, Tie Shou, Shi Luan and others.
"What's going on? Why don't you go up?" Qin Wei asked with a frown.
This Yunyan Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. If such a major case occurs, Shuntian Prefecture Yamen will naturally be the first to take charge.
Lu Tong shook his head slightly, pointed at a group of government officials in green clothes halfway up the mountain, and said, "Dali Temple is already investigating the case up there!"
Dali Temple is specially responsible for the trial of prison cases and reviews serious prison cases in various parts of the dynasty. Dali Temple can participate in the investigation of any major cases.
Especially within Shuntian Prefecture, Dali Temple has the most powerful prison power, which is higher than that of Shuntian Prefecture.
It is normal for Dali Temple to be involved in the Yunyan Sect's massacre.
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said, "Let's go up and have a look together."
Lu Tong hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Afterwards, everyone walked along the mountain path towards the mountain.
"Stop! Dali Temple is handling the case, no one is allowed to come near!"
But when they were halfway up the mountain, a group of Dali Temple officials stopped them.
Qin Wei winked at Tie Shou beside him.
Tie Shou immediately stepped forward and said: "We are from the Zhenwu Division, and we have to go up the mountain to handle the case!"
Several government officials looked at each other and said, "Sorry, no one is allowed to go up the mountain until Dali Temple has completed the review of the crime scene."
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.
They actually didn’t let the Zhenwu Division participate in the investigation!
If before the Zhenwu Division was established, Dali Temple blocked Yunyan Mountain and investigated the case alone, there would be no problem.
But now there is the Zhenwu Division. For cases like this among folk martial arts sects, the Zhenwu Division is the first review office, and Dali Temple only has the power of review and coordination.
Qin Wei glanced at the government officials and stepped forward without bothering with them.
Clang!
These government officials actually drew their swords!
"Stop, if you dare to get close again, don't blame me for being rude!"
However, before he could finish his words, Dai Xu had already led the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division forward to subdue him.
"Let's play while we're at it. If you dare to be verbose again, I'll chop your heads off!" Dai Xu said fiercely.
If you dare to draw a sword in front of His Majesty the Duke, it would be a great mercy not to chop off their heads.
Several officials from Dali Temple looked at the blades on their necks and did not dare to say another word.
Qin Wei didn't care about this little incident and led everyone to continue climbing.
However, when they arrived at the mountain gate of Yunyan Sect, another group of Dali Temple officials blocked their way.
"Who are you?"
An official wearing a blue official robe shouted.
At the same time, there were dozens of crossbow arrows pointed at Qin Wei and others.
Now Qin Wei's face darkened.
"Has Dali Temple always been so overbearing?"
Qin Wei asked Lu Tong.
Dali Temple was right in handling the case, but it was unreasonable to prevent other yamen from coming forward to investigate the case.
Even if there is no Zhenwu Division, there is still Shuntianfu Yamen!
Lu Tong laughed softly and said: "Dali Temple has always been like this!"
In terms of official positions, Lu Tong is the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, with the third rank, and the Minister of Dali Temple is the third rank, and Lu Tong's official position is higher.
But in terms of the power of punishment and prison, Dali Temple is indeed superior to Shuntian Yamen.
Therefore, whenever there was a major case in Kyoto in the past, Lu Tong would let Dali Temple investigate first, so that he could have some peace of mind and save a lot of trouble.
"This Shuntian Prefecture Yin really has no face at all!" Qin Wei glanced at him and said.
When he arrived in a hurry, Qin Wei did not wear official uniforms, and few people in the Zhenwu Department wore official robes that would get in the way, so it was normal for the government officials not to recognize them.
But the Lu Tong in front of him was wearing a crimson official robe, and he was actually stopped by an official wearing a green robe.
Lu Tong sighed helplessly.
What he, the governor of Shuntian, did was indeed very frustrating.
