Lin Yi left the living room, and Yuan Huan, who was waiting outside the door, was anxiously waiting for the result.
Seeing Lin Yi coming out, he hurriedly greeted her: "Sir, has my wife's matter been clarified?"
Lin Yi said to Yuan Huo: "Master Yuan, everything is clear. The theft of the palace has nothing to do with Mrs. Yuan. It was the palace maid who bit someone. I will report it to the Holy One when I get back. Master Yuan's reputation will not be damaged.
of."
Yuan Huo felt relieved after hearing this.
He said with a look of relief: "I knew Madam was innocent."
But Yuan Huo didn't know that his wife, who he regarded as a good wife and loving mother, was a master of poisoning.
Lin Yi said: "The matter has been clarified, and I have to go back to resume my life. Mr. Yuan took his leave."
The golden-faced guard found out the truth and cleared his wife's name. Yuan Huo was also grateful, and he personally sent Lin Yi and others out of the house.
Now Lin Yi knows that the man in black with two guns is Wu Lie. Lin Yi knows that Wu Lie must have been ordered by someone. Otherwise, he has no grudges against him, and Wu Lie will not risk his wealth and life to harm him. Wu Lie is a third-grade official.
Lin Yi clasped his hands behind his back, raised his golden face slightly, and cast his gaze towards the boundless sky.
The water is really too deep.
If it doesn't work, even if he is a gold-faced guard, he will capsize.
If things break out, which side will the emperor take?
The person behind Wu Lie was in a high position and had no rebellion. He just wanted to kill him.
The emperor may not punish him.
Although he and the emperor were sworn brothers, the emperor had to weigh the pros and cons of who was most important to the royal family and the country and who had the greatest influence. The two powers would harm each other and choose the lesser.
Perhaps a good outcome would be for the emperor to act as peacemaker and let him and the mastermind behind the scenes resolve their grudges.
If bad results...
Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't think about it anymore.
Lin Yi is not the same person he was three years ago. No matter how far things go, he will never let himself be put in jail again, and he will never let anyone control his destiny again.
The matter was of great importance, and he had to think about how to deal with it first.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry to find Wu Lie.
Lin Yi was also very worried about the Iron-faced Lord.
Lin Yi asked most of the guards to go back first. He took Qinghong and ten gold belt guards to find Dongmen Tiehu.
When they arrived at the Xinghua Yamen, the gatekeeper saw the golden-faced guards coming and quickly invited Lin Yi and others in. An official took Lin Yi to the living room first, and then went to report to Tiehu at the east gate.
Dongmen Tiehu also just came back not long ago.
The incident between Miaoxue and the "iron-headed weirdo" made the emperor furious, and Dongmen Tiehu, the top hunter, was also very worried. He hadn't had a good rest in the past two days and personally led the investigation.
Dongmen Tiehu was having a secret discussion with Ximen Zhen, and when his confidant reported that the gold-faced guard had arrived, Dongmen Tiehu went to the living room to meet the gold-faced guard first.
Dongmen Tiehu and two deputies arrived in front of the living room, and saw Qinghong and ten gold-belted guards standing in front of the hall door.
Qinghong is the deputy commander of the Nighthawk Guards and is someone close to the emperor, so the officials usually have to respect him a bit when they see him.
Dongmen Tiehu said to Qinghong: "Master Yu, why are you standing outside? Please come inside...these subordinates are really ignorant. I will reprimand them soon."
Qinghong smiled and said: "The golden-faced guard wants to talk to Lord Dongmen alone."
Qinghong's meaning is self-evident. No one else is allowed to enter this living room except Dongmen Tiehu.
Dongmen Tiehu asked his two deputies to stay outside the living room while he went in alone.
Lin Yi was sitting on a chair drinking tea and thinking about something. Dongmen Tiehu came in, and Lin Yi stopped his thoughts.
Dongmen Tiehu stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Lin Yi stood up and said, "Master Dongmen and I don't need to be so polite."
Dongmen Tiehu said: "Haha, sir, you are a golden-faced guard, so you must be polite."
Lin Yi joked: "I have drunk meat and wine with Mr. Dongmen for more than three years. With this favor, you must not be polite to me."
Dongmen Tiehu reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Are you...Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi slowly took off his golden face.
When Dongmen Tiehu saw that it was Lin Yi, he said happily: "I have always suspected that the golden-masked guard is you. It turns out to be you! Now this layer of window paper has finally been pierced."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I respect you, so I just want to expose you."
Dongmen Tiehu said: "I understand, I won't tell others."
Then the two of them sat down.
Lin Yi said: "The matter between Hell Monk and Miaoxue made the Holy Emperor angry. I have checked for several days, but I still haven't found anything. Brother Dongmen is the number one arrester in the dynasty. I can't compare with my ability to handle cases and investigate people, so I came to pick up a ready-made one."
Yes, I wonder if Mr. Dongmen has any clues?"
In fact, Dongmen Tiehu has found out that the Iron-faced God is now hiding in Yunshan.
And the matter also involves the Lu family.
This is even more extraordinary.
Firstly, it involves Prime Minister Lu, and secondly, it involves the resurrection of the Blood Demon, so Dongmen Tiehu is extremely cautious and will not tell Lin Yi the truth.
Dongmen Tiehu said: "To be honest with Brother Lin, the Iron-faced Lord is still missing. However, there are clues about the hell monk."
Lin Yi's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Oh, where is he?"
Dongmen Tiehu said: "This evil monk broke out of the siege that night and first stayed in a small inn in the southwest of the city for half a night. Because there was too much noise in the city, our people were checking door to door, so the hell monk left the city. Now he
Hidden in a ruined temple in the mountains two miles northwest of the capital. My people sent word earlier that the hell monk is not in the temple now and will return after dark. I am preparing to make arrangements and dispatch experts to deal with him."
Lin Yi thought to himself that although Miaoxue was very powerful in martial arts, Dongmen Tiehu and Dali Temple were not vegetarians either.
And outnumbered.
He had to find a way to inform Miao Xue.
Dongmen Tiehu said to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, are you interested in going to deal with that hell monk together?"
Lin Yi joked: "This is Lord Dongmen's credit, so I won't snatch it away. Whether you caught the hell monk or killed him, it was a great achievement, and the emperor will appease you and reward you. I will still track down Tie
That devil, Mian Shen-kun."
Dongmen Tiehu went through so much trouble to track down the Hell Monk, and he didn't want Lin Yi to intervene. Half of the credit would be taken away by the Nighthawk Guards.
Dongmen Tiehu is also planning to use this merit to calm the emperor's anger.
Dongmen Tiehu said with a smile: "Then I wish Brother Lin to find the Iron-faced God soon, otherwise I will take your credit after dealing with the hell monk."
Then the two of them laughed heartily.
Lin Yi was worried about Miao Xue. He spoke a few words to Dongmen Tiehu and then made excuses to leave.
After Lin Yi left, Dongmen Tiehu returned to his house.
Simon Zhen was waiting in his room.
Dongmen Tiehu said: "Aunt Zhen, I have always suspected that the golden-faced guard is Linyi, the king of the southern border, but it turns out..."
Dongmen Tiehu told Ximen Zhen about the previous events.
This really surprised Ximen.
She said: "It turns out that the King of the South is secretly working for the Emperor. Then we cannot let him know about our affairs."
Dongmen Tiehu said: "Yes. Lin Yi is really getting more and more difficult to figure out now. Even if we deal with him in the future, we have to be careful. Also, although my people found out that the Iron-faced Lord entered Yunshan
, but the specific location hidden in the mountain has not been found. Aunt Zhen, I have to deal with the hell monk now, otherwise something will happen. You and Meier will disguise themselves and go into Yunshan to explore. See if you can find the Iron-faced God and the
The hiding place of the two monsters from the north and the south."
