After hearing Chen Dong explain the origin of these things, Gu Cheng was already sure that they were definitely fruits grown on the Immortal Tree in the Hell Realm.
It has extremely powerful side effects, and after eating it, one becomes half-human and half-ghost.
This thing is useless. The so-called immortality is just a puppet of the sacred tree, just like the ghost city of the entire Song Dynasty.
But it cannot be denied that the fruit of the sacred tree in the hell realm is indeed related to immortality. Although it is immortality that has gone astray, it is still immortality.
What did the imperial court want by asking them to escort the fruits of the sacred tree to the capital? This matter is becoming more and more suspicious.
Of course, Gu Cheng would not withhold this thing. He just asked Chen Dong where it was sent, but it turned out that it was not sent to Jingyesi, but someone in the imperial city naturally handed it over to him.
Now Gu Cheng was even more sure that there was definitely something wrong with this.
Jingyesi naturally has a special department to study these things, but in the end they were transported to the imperial city. Isn't this a problem?
After the banquet, Gu Cheng personally sent Chen Dong out and found someone to take him to the imperial city.
At this time, Chen Dong suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, why did this guy come to the capital?"
Gu Cheng asked: "Who? Have you met someone you know?"
Chen Dong pointed at a fat man in his forties on the corner of the street, wearing a gorgeous embroidered yin and yang Taoist robe and said: "That's that guy, Wei Junshan, the divine fortune teller of Jiangbei.
The previous order for adults to go to hell to get things was brought by this guy.
But this guy seems to be a casual cultivator, when did he get involved with the imperial court?"
Gu Cheng stared at the fat man with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Wei Junshan? This name sounds so familiar.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and then realized that the group of leftist cultivators in Jiangjun Mountain in Heyang Prefecture were attracted by Wei Junshan's words.
But that was too far away, and Gu Cheng had forgotten about it a long time ago. He even forgot to inquire about this person when he arrived in Jiangbei later.
A wandering cultivator turned out to be a messenger from the imperial court. This fat man is very suspicious.
After sending Chen Dong away, Gu Cheng came to Liu Yuanping and said, "Have you seen that fat man? His name is Wei Junshan, and he is a well-known fortune teller in Jiangbei. I have been keeping an eye on him in the past few days.
See if there is anything suspicious about him."
Liu Yuanping nodded and immediately brought people to monitor him personally.
Liu Yuanping is cautious and nimble in his work. He is also an old man from Jingyesi in the capital. He knows the capital very well, so small things like this are not a problem for him.
When Liu Yuanping went to monitor, Gu Cheng walked to the North City Gate seemingly accidentally and started talking with Chu Youran, the commander of the Northern Territory.
"Mr. Chu, since I took over the Supervision Department, there have been quite a few people from all walks of life traveling to and from the capital. Even the imperial court has been transporting many strange and strange things to the capital recently. These were there before the Supervision Department was established?
"
Gu Cheng wanted to trick Chu Youran casually, but Chu Youran looked around, pulled Gu Cheng into the corner, shook his head and said: "Master Gu, you'd better not inquire about these things, no.
use.
In fact, as early as half a year ago, people from various parties came to Beijing with all kinds of messy things. My northern city gate has the largest number of visitors, so I have seen them several times.
I'm not the kind of person who would neglect his duties, so I definitely had to investigate. It turned out that the warrants held by those people were higher than mine. Not to mention that I was not qualified to investigate, even the commander was not qualified.
Investigative.
The capital is in chaos right now, but there are some things that you and I can’t control. Since you’re not qualified, just pretend you haven’t seen it.”
Gu Cheng helped him solve troubles in the Northern Territory before, which made him feel much more relaxed during this time, so what he said now was sincere, reminding Gu Cheng not to interfere in these matters.
However, with the establishment of the Supervision Department, Gu Cheng himself is already at the center of this storm. Even if he doesn't intervene, he is afraid that something will come straight to his face, just like what happened to Huang Jiuzheng last time.
Deep inside, he ended up like a fool who knew nothing and understood nothing. Gu Cheng didn't like this feeling.
He always likes to take the initiative by himself and doesn't like this kind of passive situation.
Three days later, Liu Yuanping moved very quickly and found out everything about Wei Junshan in the past three days, including how many meals he had eaten, how many times he went to a brothel, and how long he lasted.
Liu Yuanping said excitedly: "Sir, there is definitely something wrong with this fat man!
He was a casual cultivator from Jiangbei, and even though he had some status because of his status as a divine calculator, what he did in the capital was too suspicious.
He had met many representatives of the major sects traveling to and from the capital. Some of them just exchanged pleasantries, while others had been talking in secret for some time.
If the other party does something like this at this time, even a blind person will find it suspicious!
If we arrest this fat man and interrogate him, it might be a great achievement!"
Liu Yuanping was a gangster in Jingyesi before.
However, after following Gu Cheng, he cheered up. Now in the new government office of the Supervision Department, although he did not feel that it was the eye of the storm, he knew that if he made contributions at such a critical moment, no matter how big or small, on his resume
They will all look great.
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "You... no, I will personally bring people to arrest you!"
Wei Junshan, the divine fortune teller from Jiangbei, should have some skills, but Gu Cheng didn't know what kind of skills he had.
After all, he is just a fortune teller. Who in his right mind would cause trouble for him?
So to be on the safe side, Gu Cheng was still prepared to take action himself.
………………
In the southern part of the capital, in front of Chunfang Tower.
Wei Junshan tremblingly walked out of the brothel, took out a Sichuan embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his puffy face.
"These girls in the capital are wild, but we girls from Jiangbei are gentle, otherwise I wouldn't be so fast."
It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy is too cruel.
After finding a reasonable excuse for his speed, Wei Junshan walked out of the city humming a ditty.
The capital city has already started a curfew. It is evening at this time. If it were any later, the city gates would be closed, so there is an advantage to being faster, right?
At this moment, a group of Xuanjia guards suddenly came out and surrounded Wei Junshan in the center.
Chen Danggui sneered: "Who is Jiangbei Wei Junshan? Come with us."
When these Xuanjia guards first appeared, Wei Junshan was indeed startled, but then he raised his head and said proudly: "Which department of Jingyesi are you from? You don't even need to ask who I am, how dare any of you
move!
When I was in Jiangbei, I was a guest of the envoys from Jiangnan and Jiangbei.
In the capital, I have a good relationship with Feng Taisu, the Imperial Master of Daqian, the ‘Master of Yujing’. I even visited His Highness the Crown Prince to perform divination for him, how dare you touch me?”
Wei Junshan's series of names are indeed very deceptive. He is also the governor of the town, the prince of the state, and so on.
But Chen Danggui did not accept this trick, he sneered directly: "After talking so much, who do you think you are?
He's just a casual cultivator who tells people's fortunes. Where does he have the confidence to be so arrogant? Take him away!"
With that said, Chen Danggui waved his hand, and everyone rushed towards Wei Junshan.
Seeing that the other party refused to follow his own example, Wei Junshan was immediately shocked.
As soon as he moved, the aura of wind and spirit bloomed around him, and his figure actually floated upwards at extremely fast speeds.
In fact, Wei Junshan does have some cultivation, and his cultivation is not too weak, having reached the Sixth Level of Qi Refining.
But his sixth level of Qi Refining is a bit weak, he just squeezes out his cultivation, and basically has no fighting ability. What he is best at is using air control to escape.
Chen Danggui and others were all warriors. They jumped up with a burst of Gang Qi, but they were unable to use the force in the air and were pushed away by the opponent's ultimate spiritual energy.
But before Wei Junshan could be proud for long, Buddha's light shone in mid-air, and a huge slap suddenly fell, directly hitting Wei Junshan down.
Wei Junshan lay on the ground in a panic, his gorgeous embroidered Taoist robes now covered with dust.
"You are quite capable of running, but in the sky and on the earth, where can you escape in my hands?"
Seeing Gu Cheng Shiran approaching, Wei Junshan suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted in horror: "Gu Cheng!"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you recognize me?"
Of course Wei Junshan recognized Gu Cheng.
He had personally handled the incident at Jiangjun Mountain, and he also knew that someone had survived, but he didn't pay attention at that time. After all, Gu Cheng was just a minor character at that time.
After Gu Cheng rose to prominence, Wei Junshan investigated Gu Cheng's information, and then he realized that Gu Cheng was actually a survivor of the Jiangjun Mountain incident.
However, at that time, Gu Cheng was already the commander of the Four Domains, and was on good terms with the prince. He was definitely considered an upper-middle-class figure in the Jingyesi Division. Naturally, he did not dare to do anything to Gu Cheng.
Of course, there is no need to do anything, because Gu Cheng himself has absolutely no idea of the truth.
But Wei Junshan never expected that he would meet Gu Cheng at this time.
Wei Junshan rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Jing Yesi is the most outstanding young figure of the younger generation. His Majesty personally appointed him to take charge of the Supervision Department to oversee the peace of the capital. Who doesn't know Mr. Gu's reputation?
But I am a good citizen who abides by the law. Mr. Gu, what do you mean by arresting me? I have not offended you."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "During this period, you have been running around the capital, connecting with all the powerful factions in the world. Do you really think that our Inspectorate is just for a living and you can't see all this?"
Wei Junshan did not panic, but asked calmly: "Master Gu, you are making no sense. I, Wei Junshan, still have some reputation in the world. At this time, so many great sects and martial arts celebrities are coming to the capital. I think If you want to pay a visit to your home, which of Yasuji's rules does this violate?
Why, you, Jingyesi, are in charge of monsters and ghosts, and people in the world, but now you are also in charge of what people say?"
Gu Cheng was too lazy to argue with Wei Junshan. He waved his hand and said, "Take him back to the Inspectorate for interrogation."
Wei Junshan's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Let me go! Gu Cheng! You will regret it!"
