Chapter 442: Impostor
Prince De was obviously very kind, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since it is a new thorn history, of course I want to see it, and I will inevitably move around more in the future, and I heard that Lord Chu is very talented, and I never get tired of reading the book "Chronicles of Rivers" you wrote, I will make a special trip to ask for some of this heirloom in a while, and I hope that Lord Chu will answer my questions." ”
Chu Xian's heart jumped, and the secret path came.
Although there was a guess in his heart, Chu Xian's acting skills were not covered, and he bowed down and said at this moment: "Since Prince De has doubts, Chu Xian must know everything, and please wait in the study for a while, Chu Xian will meet with the officials of Liangzhou here, get to know each other, and come to answer for Prince De." ”
"Okay, Lord Chu is busy first. ”
After Prince De finished speaking, he walked into the study, there was Prince De's guard outside the door, Chu Xian looked at the royal guard, and then walked over and got to know the officials.
Obviously, Liangzhou suddenly changed the history of assassination, this incident simply shook the officialdom of Liangzhou, after all, it was too sudden, and it was simply without warning.
Some people even speculated that the previous Guo Son-in-law's assassination history made some big mistake and was controlled?
Of course, speculation is speculation, and no one will be stupid enough to ask.
As for this newcomer, Chu Xian, he is also very famous, and many people know that Chu Xian used to be a county magistrate in Dinghai County, Liangzhou in his early years, and he also made great contributions, so he greeted him with a smile at the moment.
At this time, Chu Xian also knew that the current governor of Liangzhou was called Li Ji, and the military government Sima was Xia Yuan, all of whom took office a few years ago, including Guo Zi, the assassin of Shi.
This matter has to be traced back to the previous invasion of the demon clan, when Chu Xian was only the county of Dinghai County, because of the invasion of the demon clan, the three giants of Liangzhou, the assassin Shi Suwen is telling the old man to return to his hometown, in fact, the town guards the border, the long history Gu Qingzhou and the military government Sima Peng Sihai also surrendered to their official positions, made a county order, and went to the town to guard one side.
It was because of this incident that the three highest officials in Liangzhou were replaced.
Unexpectedly, in the past few years, the assassin history has suddenly changed, compared with the stability of other states, the replacement speed of senior officials in Liangzhou is indeed too fast.
Li Ji and Xia Yuan have the submission and stability of high-ranking officials, and when they meet Chu Xian, they are already in the middle of the rules, and they can't find any faults, for them, no matter who the assassin changes, they will come to the errand at a normal pace, and there will be no special changes.
Compared with these two, the other officials are much more apprehensive.
The assassin is the highest governor of a state, and for them, it has the 'power of life and death', especially the officials promoted by Guo Son-in-law before, and they are even more frightened at this moment, for fear that the new Lord Assassin will replace them one by one.
In that case, all the previous efforts and efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, Chu Xian didn't have that kind of thought at all, relying on the divine sea supernatural powers, Chu Xian wrote down the names, official positions and appearances of all the officials, and even wrote down their reactions one by one.
"It's getting late today, so I won't disturb your rest, let's go back, I'm new here, and I'll have to help you a lot in the future. Chu Xian was polite, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was okay for the time being.
Seeing off the officials, Chu Xian took a deep breath and walked towards the study.
The royal guards did not stop it, and let Chu Xian in, and after entering, Chu Xian saw Prince De.
This Prince of Germany is now waiting for himself.
Knowing that this Prince De was fake, Chu Xian couldn't show it directly, so he still saluted and honored Prince De.
However, at this time, Prince De waved his hand, and then cast a secret method, which was to release an isolation circle to isolate the entire study.
Then he said: "Lord Chu, I am waiting here on the order of Lord Zhongshu, and tell Lord Chu the ins and outs of what I know, and ask Lord Chu to find out the truth about Prince De's disappearance as soon as possible." ”
Although the voice is still the voice of Prince De, the tone and tone are different.
Chu Xian said secretly, it was indeed a fake.
That's right.
If Prince De is missing, then I am afraid that it will immediately cause an uproar, after all, a big living person, how can he say that he can't find it?
So in order to reduce the impact, the above must be thought of 'masking'.
This method is to make an imposter.
Not to mention, this imposter is really powerful, even Chu Xian doesn't seem to see any problems, after all, it was arranged by Xiao Yuzhongshu, which means that this imposter must be someone who is very familiar with Prince De, otherwise it is impossible to imitate it so vividly.
But obviously, this imposter is the most suitable to deceive the people below, if it really arrives a month later, at the royal ceremony to commemorate the Holy Ancestor of Taizong, then if this impostor goes, it will inevitably be exposed.
In other words, the time for me to find out about this matter is only this month, or rather, less than a month.
The person who pretended to be Prince De was obviously also a Dao Immortal, and he should use a mask of some kind of quality, not illusion, after all, if it was an illusion, there were too many possibilities to be recognized.
This person began to tell the story, although it was very fast, but it was clear and clear, so in just half an hour, Chu Xian already knew the general situation.
"Lord Chu, in the past few days, I will think of pretending to be Prince De, so that others will not see the flaws, and I hope that you can find out the truth according to the clues as soon as possible and take your leave. ”
After speaking, this 'Prince De' got up, and then remembered something, and said: "If Lord Chu has anything to find me, you can directly send a trustworthy person to the palace, I know, I will think of coming to see you, and also, the disappearance of Prince De, the entire Liangzhou, only the previous assassin Guo Son-in-law knows, in addition, only you and me, no one else knows, and please Lord Chu also keep it secret no matter what." ”
When the imposter left, Chu Xian sat on the chair and fell into deep thought for a while.
According to the clues he has now, Prince De disappeared last night, not in the palace, but in a very famous place in Liangzhou.
The members of the royal family, because there is nothing to do, have empty titles, so some have developed some bad habits.
This Prince De, who is in his fifties, is in the prime of life, but he likes to linger in the place of wind and moon the most, and he disappeared in that place last night.
As for that place, it has long been checked by impostors, and there is nothing suspicious, and there are no dark rooms or secret passages or the like.
A Dao Immortal, it is naturally very easy to confirm these things, the divine thought is swept away, not to mention the secret passage of the dark room, even if it is an ant all the time, it can't escape the consciousness of the divine thought, since this impostor said no, it should be no, as for whether the other party will lie, Chu Xian also feels that it is unlikely.
It's very simple, the other party is a person from the Chinese book, who is Xiao Yu?
If you don't have special trust, how can you be placed here? How can you become a secret chess piece, spying on Prince De.
"Wait a minute!" Chu Xian thought of an interesting thing at this time.
"Lord Zhongshu, why did you send a secret chess to spy on Prince De?"
Chu Xian was sure before that Xiao Yu Zhongshu must have other things that he hadn't told him, and the estimation was also some secret things, including why he had to spy on the royal family.
Surveillance means vigilance.
Xiao Yu represents the Shoufu Pavilion, then, the Shoufu Pavilion is on guard against the royal family.
The contradictions between the royal family and the Shoufu Pavilion have been going on for a long time, and these Chu Xian are clear, but I didn't expect that the contradictions between the two sides have risen to this point.
It's already very serious.
But on the surface, you have to pretend to be peaceful and pretend that the world is peaceful, which is like a game, called a game that can't be angry. Whoever is angry and turns his face first will lose.
The secret matter between the royal family and the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian can't interfere for the time being, and he is not qualified to interfere, Prince De's disappearance may be a conspiracy or an accident, but no matter what it is, it doesn't matter to him, the important thing is to find out the truth and find out Prince De, that's all.
Even if Chu Xian looks at this matter, it is extremely difficult to do, extremely difficult to investigate, as for why this unlucky errand fell on Chu Xian's head, Chu Xian analyzed it himself, and estimated that he still performed too well in the Criminal Division, including the advent of "Theory of Reasoning Cases", which is simply the code of pushing cases, the existence of textbooks in general, and it is estimated that it is because of this that Xiao Yuzhongshu will temporarily decide to stuff this errand to himself after getting the news at the court meeting.
And unlike the last time when he investigated and dealt with the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, this time, he was already the main force of the Zhongshu Lord, except for Xiao Yu Zhongshu, I am afraid that the other immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion also pinned their hopes on themselves.
The pressure is tremendous when I think about it.
But in a month, how to check?
The time is short, the difficulty is great, and you can't make a big splash, even if you check it, you have to act quietly, and you can't leak the news, just thinking about it makes you feel big.
And just now Chu Xian had clearly asked about the 'impostor' just now, since the other party can pretend to be Prince De without being discovered by his family, he must be very familiar with the circle around Prince De and Prince De himself, Chu Xian asked, could it be that Prince De himself was lost?
Chu Xian asked this, which also had an implication, and the imposter replied very simply: "Even if it is, Prince De must be recovered, even if it is to be arrested and tied back." ”
The meaning is clear.
Of course, looking for specifics, Chu Xian doesn't need to do it himself, Prince De is said to be a profound cultivator, second only to the realm of immortals, and his strength is strong, even if he wants to catch it, he doesn't have that ability to estimate it, what Chu Xian has to do is actually reason and analyze and point out the direction.
As long as you find the direction, you don't have to worry about Chu Xian, the secret power that the Shoufu Pavilion has planted in Liangzhou will rush over, not to mention one Prince De, even ten, and it can't be stopped.
After figuring out what he was going to do, Chu Xian didn't want to explore deeper secrets, such as the grievances between the royal family and the Shoufu Pavilion, such as the internal power struggle.
What Chu Xuan has to do is very simple, whether Prince De is hiding by himself or being kidnapped, in the end, he can only be found.
