This is another person who refuses to die in peace at the hands of Lu Hanjiang.
The commotion just now was not small. If someone came here to investigate and found that the body was inappropriate, he would simply be a good person and go to the end, drag Shuo Xuan's body to a secluded place, and burn it clean.
Under the blazing flames, Shuo Xuan turned into ashes along with his unfulfilled ambition.
The Xiaoyao Sect was basically dead when it came to his lineage. Shuo Xuan's various Xiaoyao Sect martial arts were also destined to be discontinued with his death.
Lu Hanjiang and Huangfu Xiaoyuan watched the roaring flames without saying a word. When the fire finally dissipated, there was only a patch of charcoal and a handful of dust left on the ground.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan said expressionlessly: "This person is a great disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. If we keep him for questioning, we will definitely get a lot of precious information."
"Maybe." Lu Hanjiang didn't comment on this, but quietly watched the wind blow away, taking away Shuo Xuan's last traces in the world.
"Why don't you keep him?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan seemed puzzled.
Lu Hanjiang did not answer her question directly, but talked about another unrelated matter: "Did you hear about the murder of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than twenty years ago?"
"I've heard some rumors," Huangfu Xiaoyuan frowned and said, "All the accompanying guards died, but the culprits didn't leave any evidence. They said they were the work of martial arts masters."
"Yes, judging from the clues left at the scene, it must be a master of martial arts," Lu Hanjiang nodded in approval, and then asked: "Then do you know who was ordered to investigate this matter?"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan calmed down and thought for a moment, and finally shook her head. The matter occurred in Jianghu, and it was naturally Jin Yiwei who was ordered to investigate. However, she did not know who specifically investigated it.
Lu Hanjiang took the initiative to give the answer, saying: "One colleague, two colleagues."
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan was puzzled. From the looks of it, these people's positions were not low, and there was nothing strange about investigating this kind of thing.
But this time, Lu Hanjiang did not choose to answer her questions, but walked towards the Shaolin Temple.
Lu Hanjiang naturally knows what Huangfu Xiaoyuan said. In terms of value, Xi Qiu, Chu Wei, these people are not as good as Shuo Xuan. After all, he is the real deal. Bei Mingzi personally accepted the disciples, let alone
He said that he was still secretly plotting to seize the royal jade.
If he could be taken to prison and tortured, some old things would be revealed, and shocking secrets would come to light. But it's a pity that this man can't be kept.
It's not that Lu Hanjiang is afraid of his plans or backhand, but because in this matter, he can only make everyone feel at ease if he dies.
Lu Hanjiang just asked Huangfu the reason for the murder of the Crown Prince Xiaoyuan. He did not mention it casually, but he understood that after knowing about the old incident many years ago, Meng Yuan sat firmly in the capital and did not move even for such a major event as the Crown Prince's murder.
However, in order to destroy the Xiaoyao sect, the emperor actually ordered him to go there in person, which shows the importance of this matter.
The human heart is the most untrustworthy thing in the world. Lu Hanjiang will always remember Meng Yuan's teachings. Everyone in the world will betray you.
Torturing Shuo Xuan sounds good, but if we really ask about some shocking secret, how many people can bear it?
It would be fine if they were alone. Lu Hanjiang didn't want to cause trouble to implicate Meng Yuan. It was a pity to say that if the concubine in the palace hadn't given birth to a princess, they wouldn't have needed to spend so much brains.
But if a prince was really born back then, now...heh, who knows.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds high and far away, Lu Hanjiang's thoughts slowly returned to reality. Without looking back, he ordered Huangfu Xiaoyuan: "Now that you are out, go find Bian Guang and ask him to ask questions quickly."
The secret is in the letter."
"My subordinate understands."
After sending Huangfu Xiaoyuan away, Lu Hanjiang returned the same way and happened to meet several Shaolin monks. They must have been attracted by the big movement just now.
Several monks saw Lu Hanjiang coming and looked at each other. One of the older ones came forward, put his palms together, and said in greeting: "Amitabha, I saw the donor coming in a hurry earlier. I wonder what happened here?"
Lu Hanjiang casually made up a reason and said: "I met an unknown thief and fought with him, but the man was very powerful in martial arts and has fled far away now."
"I see."
Several monks suddenly understood and thanked Lu Hanjiang one after another. It's not that they are all simple-minded and believe whatever others say. It's just that the chaos happened outside the temple, and since they were sure that it was related to the Xiaoyao Sect, they could just report it.
.
Lu Hanjiang saw that they did not go into details and were happy to be alone, so he followed them back to the temple.
...
Over there, Huangfu Xiaoyuan dressed up in a sheep's clothing and walked up the road to the northern mountains and forests with the appearance of an ordinary river and lake woman.
Entering the guarded area of Jin Yiwei, she immediately felt a few eyes watching from the dark. She immediately took out the sign of Beizhen Fusi and hung it on her waist. Those dangerous cold lights immediately disappeared.
After entering the camp safely, Huangfu Xiaoyuan met Bian Guang directly, conveyed Lu Hanjiang's order to him, and then left in a hurry.
After she walked away, the hundred households around Bian Guang clicked their tongues and said jokingly: "I don't know how we, Mr. Lu, got such good luck. Although this girl has not shown up, she must be a stunning beauty. After all, she has Meng."
My lord, support me, this is just fun."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was wearing a bamboo hat when she arrived. Although the hundreds of households couldn't see her clearly, they could tell from her temperament that she was definitely not an ordinary woman.
After hearing this, Bian Guang slapped him in the face with an expressionless face. The unscrupulous Baihu immediately turned pale. Regardless of the dust on the ground, he immediately fell to his knees and tremblingly said: "The villain is crazy and rebellious.
, the villain made a mistake! Please forgive me, sir!"
After saying that, he kowtowed violently, and soon there was blood on his forehead. When the remaining households saw him, they all held their breath and did not dare to speak. They all stared at the tips of their shoes, as if they could see flowers.
"alright."
Bian Guang stopped the hundred households whose faces were covered with blood and snorted coldly: "You can't comment on what my lord has done. Go get a stick and get out of here."
"Yes, thank you for your mercy! Thank you for your mercy!" The hundreds of households bowed their heads one after another and retreated hastily, their eyes filled with joy of escaping death.
Bian Guang watched him walk away coldly, and then asked: "Who is guarding the criminal now?"
Baihu, who had a mustache, replied: "Sir, it's Tang Baihu."
"Tang Jin? How could it be him?" Anyone could hear the displeasure in Bian Guang's words.
"Sir, we are all taking turns to guard the woman. At this time, it is Tang Baihu's turn." The mustache Baihu said cautiously.
Bian Guang narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Go and bring her up."
"yes."
