Inside the Shofu Pavilion.

In front of Yang Zhenqing and several immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion, an official bowed his head and saluted.

"Yin Cambodia, this matter will be handed over to your Cave Candle Division to investigate secretly, in addition, I will give you the right to cut first and then play, and I must find out about this matter. Yang Zhenqing said with a solemn expression at this time.

"The subordinate officer received the order. Yin Cambodia's expression remained unchanged.

Da Situ next to him also said: "Cambodia, you are the commander of the Cave Candle Division, and you hold great power, and the matter of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, ordinary people can't do it at all, in your opinion, how many possibilities are there for this matter?"

Yin Cambodia thought for a while, and then said: "The Holy Dynasty has no plan to assassinate Wu Zu, and it is definitely not the hand of your lords, this can be confirmed, then, there are only three situations left, one is that the Wu clan thief shouts to catch the thief and deliberately leads the war, the second is that there is another force to sow discord, by killing the thirteen Wu ancestors, causing trouble to the east, instigating the two clans to fight, and the other one, the thirteen Wu ancestors died by themselves, maybe there is some hidden illness and serious illness, and the disease suddenly appeared. ”

"Then check in these three directions, one by one, and go. General Qin Yuanmou waved his hand at this moment, and Yin Cambodia bowed his head and retreated.

The big Situ here sighed: "On the surface, the Criminal Division came to investigate the case, and secretly, the Dong Candle Division investigated them one by one, so how likely is it that the real murderer can be found?"

In this sentence, Da Situ is asking others, but also asking himself.

General Qin Yuanmou shook his head again and again: "I think, there shouldn't be any results, we have to take precautions, mobilize troops, and gather Wuzhou, I have issued an order to mobilize the elites of various states and gather Wuzhou, which can be regarded as a precaution, if the Wu clan dares to attack indiscriminately, let them all die on the Red Flame Mountain." ”

These words, Qin Yuanmou said with a murderous aura.

"The Shoufu Pavilion has decided to mobilize 500,000 Chijin troops to Wuzhou, but this is not enough, the Wuzhou army is only 200,000, even if it adds 500,000, it is only 700,000, and the Wu clan claims to be able to mobilize a million male divisions, if the Wu clan has already had the intention of leading the war, I am afraid that there will be more, and if it is really a bitter plan they do, find an excuse to use force, the previous seven-day deadline is also a trick, so from now on, we must beware of the attack of the Wu clan. ”

After speaking, Qin Yuanmou said again: "The war, led by me and General Yu, and Zhao Heng, the secretary of the military department, will do the response, this matter cannot wait for a moment, so soon, the two of us will go to Wuzhou to beware of the Wu clan coming in advance." ”

At this time, Da Situ said again: "What should we do with the other Wu people in the Wu Clan Mission? Everyone is here, let's talk about it." ”

Over there, Xiao Yu spoke: "Treat each other politely and be secretly vigilant." ”

The other immortal officials all nodded again and again, these eight words can be said to be the best way to deal with it.

"All possibilities must be prevented, once the war breaks out, these Wu people cannot be put back, so it is important to ensure that the news of Wuzhou is accurate. "The first immortal of the Holy Dynasty who has never spoken, Taishi Lu Yan has opened his mouth at this moment.

The immortal officials present are all members of the Shoufu Pavilion, and when such a major event occurs, only the members of the Shoufu Pavilion will be qualified to participate in decision-making in the future, which is also the highest right of the Holy Dynasty.

The Tiantang Holy Dynasty, since the Taizong Holy Ancestor, is not allowed to have a king monopolize the power of the dynasty, the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, only the royal family, but not the immortal emperor.

This is also a measure and means taken by the Holy Ancestor of Taizong to ensure the longevity of the Holy Dynasty.

The royal family has no status, but no power, so any matter can be decided by the first and auxiliary cabinets.

At this time, Yang Zhenqing suddenly said: "Wang Shizhong, you said that you went to see the Thirteen Witch Ancestors this morning, what was abnormal about him at that time?"

These words were asked to Wang Shenling.

In the Shoufu Pavilion, Wang Shenling is not a core member, and when he heard Yang Zhenqing's question at this moment, he felt a little unhappy, because Yang Zhenqing was obviously 'doubting' himself.

Of course, Wang Shenling wanted to explain this kind of thing clearly, because at this moment, everyone looked at him, and even Lu Yan was puzzled, obviously puzzled why Wang Shenling wanted to go to see the Thirteen Witch Ancestors alone.

It was also because of today's court meeting, Taishi Lu Yan did not attend, so he didn't know what happened at the court meeting.

Wang Shenling said this time: "This morning, I went to look for the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, and many people saw it at that time, and I went to him to talk about Chu Xian's entry into the Wu Clan. ”

"Chu Xian?" Lu Yan said at this time, thought for a moment, and asked an immortal official next to him, "But that Chu Xian from the Criminal Division?"

"It's him!" said the immortal officer hurriedly.

"Oh, when is he going to join the Wu Clan, why don't I know?" Lu Yan opened his mouth to ask, it is also these little things, which generally do not disturb the first immortal of the Holy Dynasty, so from the very beginning, this kind of intermarriage between the two clans, Lu Yan did not know.

So the immortal official next to him whispered a few more words, and Lu Yan understood.

Wang Shenling continued at this time: "I went to visit the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, mainly to talk about this matter, I said that Chu Xian and my granddaughter are in love, so they can't join the Witch Clan, this matter, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors heard this, and also agreed to withdraw the previous request, and then I said goodbye and left." From beginning to end, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors did not have any abnormalities, not like they had any hidden diseases and serious diseases, which the people of the Wu Clan could prove. ”

"In other words, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, this morning, were still safe and sound, but after that, they encountered an accident?" Lu Yan asked at this time.

No one can answer this question.

Wang Shenling glanced at Yang Zhenqing at this time, and was annoyed in his heart, but he said: "If you want to say that you know the Thirteen Witch Ancestors best, it should be Yang Ke, after all, Yang Ke is the righteous son of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, and he has been with him almost every day these days, so it is better to ask Yang Ke if the Thirteen Witch Ancestors have any abnormalities recently." ”

Yang Zhenqing's face was not good at the moment, but there was no way, what Wang Shenling said was the truth, and it was impossible for him to deny it.

Lu Yan glanced at Yang Zhenqing at this time, and said directly: "Brother Yang, I bother you to call your grandson, and I will ask you face to face." ”

Yang Zhenqing obviously knew that he would ask Yang Ke, so he said directly: "I have already let that kid wait outside, so I will let him in." ”

After speaking, he explained to the guards below, and soon, Yang Ke was brought up.

Even Yang Ke is cautious at the moment, after all, this is the meeting of the Shoufu Pavilion, and it is the top power center of the Holy Dynasty, and any immortal official here is stomping his feet, which can shake the existence of the Holy Dynasty.

Yang Ke saluted at all the immortal officials at this moment, extremely respectful.

"Yang Ke, after the Thirteen Witch Ancestors came, you were by your side every day, just start from the first day, and don't miss any details. Lu Yan said at this time.

On weekdays, Lu Yan is the absolute controller of the Shoufu Pavilion, and when such a big thing happens at this moment, of course he has to preside over the overall situation, if Lu Yan is serious, even Yang Zhenqing will not dare to compete with him.

Now, Lu Yan asked Yang Ke to say, Yang Ke has to say, and it must be 1510, telling all the details.

Yang Ke didn't panic, obviously, Yang Zhenqing had already explained to him, so at this moment he sorted out his thoughts and began to tell.

From the first day when the Thirteen Wu Ancestors came, they told the story until the last time they saw the Wu Ancestors.

During the whole process, no one spoke, they were all listening carefully, obviously, Yang Ke would not dare to lie about this kind of thing, because in the face of the immortals, any lie would be recognized.

In fact, Yang Ke didn't lie, the sudden death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors was also extremely sudden and even quite unfavorable for him.

Originally, the two clans were reconciled, and he could use the identity of the righteous son of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors to rise to prosper, but now that the Thirteen Witch Ancestors are dead, his position is suddenly embarrassing.

If the two clans fight to the death, then he will have no chance to come out, at least in the career of the Holy Dynasty, it is impossible for him to seek another official position, and he will even be monitored, or, more seriously, under house arrest.

Yang Zhenqing knows this, and Yang Ke also knows.

That's why he has the heart to cry now.

The immortal officials present can never forget, and after Yang Ke finished speaking at this moment, they savored it, especially the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the immortal officials who had contact with the Thirteen Witch Ancestors in the past few days, all comparing Yang Ke's words.

Obviously, Yang Ke did not lie, and it can basically be concluded that the death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors has nothing to do with him.

"Stand down. After Lu Yan finished speaking, Yang Ke was relieved and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, a guard came in from outside and whispered to Xiao Yu, and Lu Yan immediately said, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yu also looked solemn at the moment, his official position was obviously much worse than Lu Yan, and he said respectfully at this moment: "Back to Master Lu, it's Chu Xian, he is the chief promoter of the Criminal Division, and on the surface, he is responsible for investigating the case of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, he, he just came to me, saying that he wanted to see the body of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors." ”

As soon as he said this, most of the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion shook their heads again and again, obviously thinking that this Chu Xian really thought that he could find out the truth?

This matter, even they Dao immortals can't find a clue, what can a mortal do?

But this can't be said, the investigation of the criminal department is also their nod, and it is a 'gesture' that they must put on.

Pretend, you have to pretend.

Lu Yan nodded: "Give Chu Xian the right to investigate, let him investigate at will, Xiao Yu, you send someone to follow, take the token of the Shoufu Pavilion to him, and tell the people below that the criminal department will investigate the case, and no one is allowed to stop it." ”

When the immortals heard this, they were all taken aback.

Yang Zhenqing was the first to speak: "Brother Lu, I'm afraid there is no need for this, Chu Xian is just a mortal, and now he is an immortal-level master who is dead, what can he find out?

Obviously, this Shoufu Pavilion token is quite not simple, because with this token, it means that the Shoufu Pavilion is authorized, even if you want to catch an immortal official, you can cut it first and then play.

That's power.

Lu Yan shook his head and took a resolute attitude: "Give it to him, which of us here is not from mortal cultivation? Could it be that we are born with immortal bodies? Don't underestimate our juniors, especially like Chu Xian, who is from a humble background, but he can come up step by step, this is a real ability, the last time in the underworld, even if this Chu Xian was detained by the Yuan Shen, he did not have the prestige of the Fallen Holy Dynasty, just for this point, he should be given this trust, not to mention, the so-called dead horse as a live horse doctor, if he can really find out something, can stop us from fighting to the death with the Wu clan, then a mere Shoufu Pavilion token, what is it? So, give it to him. ”

As the first immortal of the Holy Dynasty, Lu Yan naturally has his authority, on weekdays, he can discuss with others, and even choose to compromise, but sometimes, once Lu Yan insists, no one can persuade him, unless he can overpower him in reason, otherwise, it is better not to touch that mold.
