Chapter 369: Master Mu was stunned
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll find out in a moment. Chu Xian took out the soul-nourishing incense, lit it, and began to cast a spell, summoning someone from the underworld to interrogate.
At the same time, someone from the outer gate came to report, it turned out that Liu Shiyuan and Du Longxing rushed back, and the two actually let several black knife guards carry a coffin with mud and decay to the scene.
This battle obviously alarmed the entire Ziyun Temple, not to mention the Ziyun Temple, carrying a rotten coffin through the market along the way, even the people and other officials also knew about it for the first time, and well-informed people knew that this was a major case of the theft of the Immortal Palace.
I also heard that when the black knife guard was carrying the coffin across the street, he accidentally fell, the coffin fell to the ground, and the coffin board fell down, and the onlookers were startled, afraid to see the bones inside, but soon found that the coffin was actually empty.
There were no dead people inside.
The news has already spread ten, ten, and hundreds.
Although Chu Xian was indoors to inquire about Mu Si Cheng, in fact, Chu Xian came to Ziyun Temple to investigate the case with great fanfare, and the news that he wanted to inquire about Mu Si Cheng had already spread far and wide, and it was estimated that Ziyun Temple had already known about it.
Now another black knife guard came in carrying a rotten coffin, and the news that the coffin was empty also spread.
Liu Shiyuan and Du Longxing entered the room and said, "According to the order of the chief magistrate, Xia Guan went to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy on the burial place of the chief internal guard who died ten years ago, but the coffin was opened, but there was no one inside. ”
As soon as he heard this, Chu Xian immediately turned his head to look at Mu Sicheng and said, "Lord Mu, this is the chief of the internal guard with the highest swordsmanship among the sixteen deceased that year, you said he was dead, why can't there be bones in the coffin?"
Mu Sicheng looked incredulous at the moment, he got up and looked at the coffin, and was sweating profusely for a while: "Impossible, impossible, I performed an autopsy according to the rules, sixteen corpses, I have roughly seen them, they are indeed all dead corpses, how can someone cheat to death and I don't know?"
Chu Xian slapped the table at this moment: "Master Mu, this fact is different from what you said, if you still don't admit it, think that it is me Chu Xian who deliberately messed up and blamed you, okay, then I will summon the Yin official of the underworld, let's ask clearly." ”
After speaking, it was already a spell, and after a while, a ghost appeared on the soul nourishing incense.
There is a lot of wind around, and there is no doubt that there is a yin official.
Mu Si Cheng is also a well-informed person, he knew at a glance that this was not a fraud, and after the Yin official appeared, the surroundings were much colder out of thin air, and the Yin wind was howling, and he knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary Yin official.
What he thought in his heart, even if Chu Xian deliberately framed him, it would be impossible to affect the Yin official, so Mu Sicheng also looked at the Yin official with an expectant expression.
Soon he found out that this Yin official was actually a judge of the underworld.
According to the level, the judge of the underworld is extremely powerful, only under the king of the underworld, I can't imagine that this time even the judge of the underworld has appeared.
However, Mu Sicheng was even more relieved in his heart, if it was an ordinary ghost, he might be bought by Chu Xian, but this judge of the underworld would definitely not.
Because according to his rank, Chu Xian, the magistrate, may not have a higher status than the judge of the underworld.
At this moment, there was no need for Chu Xian to speak, Mu Sicheng couldn't help but prove his innocence and prove that he was not at fault or wrong in the inspection back then, so he opened his mouth to ask.
"This judge, please also look at the book of life and death, to see whether the people of Jingzhou, Zhang Xu, are alive or dead, and if so, what year and month he died. Saying that, Mu Si Cheng said the eight characters of the chief of the internal guard, obviously, for the sixteen dead internal guards, Mu Si Cheng did remember very clearly.
The judge in the soul nourishing incense glanced at Chu Xian without a trace at this time, and when he saw that Chu Xian didn't say anything, he coughed, and pretended to be majestic: "Okay, wait for a while, and wait for this official to inspect the book of life and death." ”
So they waited.
After half a pillar of incense, the judge came back and said directly: "I found out, this Zhang Xu is not dead at all, and he is still alive." ”
"Ah, what!" When Mu Sicheng heard this at this moment, he was like being struck by lightning, and he took a few steps back in a row, and the whole person was stupid.
"How could it be, how could it be, I have clearly seen it all, although I have not carefully examined the autopsy, but whether life is death, how can I not tell it? That one by one has a sword in the chest, penetrating the heart, and the flesh and blood are blurred, how can this be faked to death? Even if Dao Immortal suffered this kind of fatal injury, there was no way to live. ”
Mu Sicheng kept saying, but right now, the coffin was opened for an autopsy, there was no body, and he looked for the hell to check the book of life and death, saying that the person was not dead at all, and coupled with Chu Xian's inference before, these three aspects converged into one, and it seemed that the whole thing had been made a very reasonable and conclusive conclusion.
That is, the dead chief of the internal guard is a murderer, who steals treasures and kills, uses an ingenious method to bring out the treasures, and then disappears by swindling death.
And this matter, he definitely can't do it alone, he needs help, and now, no matter how you look at it, this helper seems to be inseparable from himself.
Mu Sicheng is shouting that he is wronged at this moment, he is simply speechless, and he has a feeling that he can't be washed.
"This, this is someone picking up dirt and framing me, I don't accept it, I am wronged. Mu Sicheng shouted, because he was really in a hurry, so the voice was very loud, even the people outside could hear it clearly.
Especially Pan Wenxiang, although he said that he was evasive, he was waiting at the outer door, and he was also clear about what happened before, and coupled with the voice he heard, basically he was also clear about this matter.
"It turns out that it's Musi Cheng, oops, this is really unexpected, unexpected. Pan Wenxiang muttered to himself beside him.
Interestingly, this matter spread quickly, and it was said that Muji Cheng was arrested as a suspect and awaiting interrogation, and there were several versions of the rumors, the most exaggerated thing is that Musi Cheng had admitted that he did it, and the evidence was conclusive.
Of course, if a few people believe these rumors, then they don't know, anyway, they spread very fiercely and quickly.
In the hall, Chu Xian said: "Master Mu, don't worry, it's just an inference at the moment, isn't it, it needs to be further investigated, that is, you need Lord Mu's help, don't go anywhere for the time being, let's go to the Criminal Division and have a good chat." ”
It's terrible to hear.
Mu Sicheng looked aggrieved at the moment: "Chu Tuiguan, I was really wronged, how could I do such a thing, it really has nothing to do with me." ”
"It's okay, when the time comes, I'll know, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. Chu Xian comforted beside him, and then ordered: "Chu San, bring the black sword guard in, first escort Lord Mu to the Criminal Division, and in addition, mobilize thirty more, oh, no, fifty black sword guards come to Ziyun Temple, where Lord Mu works, where the mansion is, you have to go and check, Lord Mu, I believe you will not object, after all, this is also to prove your innocence." ”
Chu Xianpi smiled and didn't smile, just this scene was also seen by the people of Ziyun Temple outside, and they all secretly scolded this Chu Xian in their hearts It was really ruthless enough, and if it was like this, Mu Sicheng was afraid that he would be unlucky.
"Okay, I'll let you check, I want to see if there is justice in this world. Mu Sicheng also raised his head at this moment and followed Chu San and the others out.
And the people outside all saw that Mu Si Cheng was taken away by the black knife guard, and I heard that Mu Si Cheng's office and mansion would also be searched.
Obviously, people who don't know much about the situation have begun to brew various versions of rumors again.
Chu Xian walked out, Pan Wenxiang greeted him, and it could be seen that Pan Wenxiang had a trace of fear on his face, and his laughter was also a little embarrassing.
This is not to blame him, Chu Xian's set is too fierce, and he will investigate a five-grade official in the blink of an eye, and it seems that Mu Si Cheng is afraid that he is completely finished, otherwise how could the Criminal Division come to investigate him with such fanfare?
In other words, the current criminal department is determined to have something to do with the unsolved case ten years ago.
Pan Wenxiang is also an old officialdom, of course he knows some unspoken rules in officialdom, if there is no conclusive evidence, or there is no nod from the people above, how dare the Criminal Division investigate a five-grade official?
In other words, no matter whether this matter was done by Mu Si Cheng or not, the official position of Mu Si Cheng cannot be kept.
The reason is simple.
If it is him, there is no doubt that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished, and he who should be punished will be punished.
But if it's not Musi Cheng, then there is another possibility, after all, the Asgard Palace has been unsolved for a long time, and there has been no result, and there is no face up and down, so sometimes, there is a need for a substitute ghost.
A black pot on the back.
Someone memorizes this crime, so at least on the bright side, it can be said that there has been a big breakthrough in this case and one of the murderers has been found.
Don't think that this kind of thing won't happen, sometimes, it will happen, officialdom, sometimes it's so dark, Pan Wenxiang feels that he knows this very well.
So of course he was very in awe of Chu Xian, who held the 'power of life and death', and in the time that people came for more than an hour, he pulled a five-grade official off the horse, in case he saw that anyone was not pleasing to the eye, just arrange it, and you will drink a pot.
You can't be respectful, you can't be afraid.
Therefore, Chu Xian said next, if you want to visit Ziyun Temple, go to the inner and outer courtyards to see, this request, Pan Wenxiang didn't say a word, directly agreed, and took the initiative to take on the guide.
Although he also wondered in his heart, why didn't this Lord Chu immediately interrogate Mu Sicheng, but this kind of thing, it was not his turn to ask, so it was the best policy to serve this killing god first.
At the outer gate, fifty black sword guards had already been ordered to arrive, and Chu Xian and a group of officials, under the guidance of Pan Wenxiang, walked around in Ziyun Temple.
The outer courtyard quickly circled and then went to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is the real place of monks, the Buddhist gate sanctuary, you can see a mountain in the distance, there are one hundred and eight stupas distributed on the mountain, it is said that in each stupa, there is a Buddhist monk's relics stored in it.
