The emperor walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then asked: "So, there are only two of them at the scene, and apart from Yuyang's body, there is only the national master in the Gongde Tower?"
"That's right." Jiang Wenfeng paused and added, "At the time of the incident, an elder was patrolling the Taoist platform. When he heard the screams, he rushed to the Gongde Tower. He was very sure that no one was found. And the Gongde Tower's
There are no other buildings around the location, and there is only one door straight up and down. It can be said that it is no different from a secret room, and the suspicion of the Imperial Master is high."
The emperor nodded: "If someone else discovered it, they might not have noticed the master leaving. As the elder of Xuandu Temple, it is extremely unlikely that he could leave silently under his nose."
"It's even fair to say there isn't."
The emperor sighed: "The imperial master refuses to say?"
"Yes." Jiang Wenfeng reported, "I asked several times, but the Imperial Preceptor made it clear that he could not say anything. I also asked the elders. When they caught the Imperial Preceptor, the Imperial Preceptor did not resist or give any excuse."
It can be said that Xuanfei's behavior is very detrimental to himself. If he insists on refusing to say anything, he will not be able to clear away the suspicion in the end, and he will have to bear the crime.
"Qing Jiang, the Imperial Master's reaction is unreasonable. Is there some mystery behind it?"
Jiang Wenfeng paused and heard the emperor's attitude from these words.
He wanted to protect Xuanfei.
Also, Xuanfei handled several things to his liking, and Yuyang was of no importance to the emperor. Even if he really killed Yuyang, the emperor would not care.
Being a selfless Qingtian doesn't mean that he doesn't have to consider the emperor's opinion. What's more, Jiang Wenfeng himself wants to protect Xuanfei. In any case, everyone is rebelling against the alliance, right?
But what he said was: "Your Majesty, according to my experience in handling cases, the prisoner is unwilling to accept the reality and will even be more excited than the innocent. It is possible that the Imperial Preceptor reacted like this because he deliberately created doubts."
The emperor frowned slightly: "Really?"
"In addition, there is another doubtful point in this case." Jiang Wenfeng said, "I ordered people to search the Gongde Tower, but the murder weapon was not found."
The emperor was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it on the Imperial Preceptor?"
"No."
The emperor said: "Then he may be innocent. The murderer may be a master. He escaped from the merit tower after killing someone. The elder was unaware and asked him to escape."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
First aggravating Xuan Fei's suspicion, and then releasing this possible doubt, Jiang Wenfeng finally laid the groundwork and revealed his true intention: "Your Majesty, this case is very special. All involved are Xuan Shi. I need experts in this field to help sort out the case.
.However, those who cooperated in the past were all the immortal elders of Xuandu Temple. It is difficult to guarantee that their stance will not be biased this time. Therefore, I would like to ask an outsider who is proficient in mystical arts to help."
The emperor nodded: "As it should be. Do you have anyone to choose?"
"I went to Dongning to investigate the case of Geng Sanyi three years ago and got the help of Miss Mingqi. Therefore, I thought of her first."
"Oh, her!" The emperor remembered that in the previous dispute over the master of Xuandu Temple, she also reached the final stage and watched the national destiny with Xuan Fei Yuyang. The emperor still remembered what she said at that time, because these three
Years of time have proven it. She said that the killing star rose in the northwest, and indeed a big war was fought.
Thinking of Mingwei's relationship with Yang Shu, the emperor didn't really want to use her, so he asked: "Is there any other candidate? She is already engaged to the King of Yue, so she can show her face like this..."
Jiang Wenfeng's expression did not change: "Your Majesty, in the early years, in order to restrain Xuanmen, Taizu issued an edict that when Xuanmen masters come to the capital, they must report to Xuandu Guan, so they will not come to the capital unless they have something to do. Xuanmen is now in the capital.
Scholars are not considered experts, otherwise, would you issue an order to Xuanmen?"
After his reminder, the emperor remembered the matter. He could indeed issue a transfer order. The court usually turned a blind eye to Xuanmen. In return, Xuanmen was willing to be dispatched. However, most Xuanmen masters were unruly and conceited, so such transfer orders should be kept.
Send it at the critical moment. If you send it too much, it will be worthless.
For Xuan Fei alone, the emperor felt that it was not worth issuing such an order.
"That's all, since you already have a candidate, why bother looking for something far away? When the people come, I'm afraid the body will be rotten. Just ask the King of Yue."
"I obey the decree."
Jiang Wenfeng resigned after achieving his goal.
After leaving the palace, he immediately asked someone to send a message to Mingwei and went to Prince Yue's Mansion himself.
Not long after, Mingwei also arrived at Prince Yue's Mansion.
"The Holy One has agreed to let us participate in this case?"
Hearing Yang Shu's words, Jiang Wenfeng corrected him: "It's Miss Ming, not His Highness."
What the emperor said was just a dodge, but he borrowed it and used it. He was really using chicken feathers as arrows.
Jiang Wenfeng thought for a moment: "It is reasonable and reasonable for the King of Yue to have such a request."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
After talking about the business, Jiang Wenfeng said: "I will go back to the Yamen to take care of things and arrange the affairs for the next day, and then go to Xuandu to watch. This case is of great importance, and I am afraid I will have to stay there for a few days."
Mingwei said: "I will also go back and explain to my uncle." He looked at Yang Shu again, "Do you want to go back with me?"
Yang Shu couldn't get what he asked for.
Seeing that it was already getting late, the two of them prepared their cars and rushed to Ji's house without delay.
Mr. Ji had already returned from school. He didn't want His Royal Highness the King of Yue to come to the door, so he hurriedly came to greet him.
Mingwei didn't want to disturb the Ji family, so after seeing the ceremony, she asked Yang Shu to get down to business quickly.
When Mr. Ji heard that it was the emperor's intention, he agreed and immediately asked Mrs. Ji to help Mingwei pack things and bring some people.
Mingwei declined politely and took only Duofu with him. Before nightfall, he and Yang Shu rushed to Xuandu Temple.
When Ning Xiu saw them leaving and returning, he was very disgusted and said, "There is no extra room here. You can live in the temple."
Yang Shu didn't want to live here. In such a small courtyard, you can hear everything you do.
Ming Wei said: "Without further delay, we will settle down at Xuandu Temple and go to see Xuan Fei immediately. Sir, would you like to come with us?"
Ning Xiu hesitates.
"Are you having trouble?"
Ning Xiu said: "The riddles left by Master are unsolvable, and I always feel uneasy. This place has been spied on before, and I'm afraid that someone will come and take away important things while I'm away."
Mingwei said: "You can ask Duofu to stay. With her current strength, she may not be able to take advantage if the man in Tsing Yi comes again."
Ning Xiu thought for a while and agreed: "Okay."
The three of them rushed to the Taoist Tower. Due to the emperor's will, although the people in Xuandu Temple complained, they did not stop them, and the three of them entered the Merit Pagoda smoothly.
Stepping into the pagoda gate, one sees Xuanfei sitting cross-legged on a futon, with five or six people standing around. (To be continued)
