Chapter 397: Pick someone to take the blame
Chu Xian and Kong Qian could imagine that at this moment, in this palace, many Dao Immortals in the upper echelons of the Holy Dynasty should be negotiating with the people of the Wu Clan.
To Chu Xian's surprise, during the period, he saw Yang Kexing walking in in a hurry, or rather, he was a little distracted, crying with a sad face, like a dead father, and he couldn't see the usual arrogance and calmness at all.
Yang Ke was able to enter, probably by virtue of the identity of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors.
While waiting, Kong Qian suddenly spoke: "Chu Xian, I have something to tell you. ”
Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, but still said respectfully: "Master Kong, if there is anything, just ask." ”
Kong Qian said: "Lord Shilang Zhong took us here to explain the strange death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, if this matter is not good, it will trigger a death fight between the two clans, and I don't know how many people will die on the frontier at that time." That is to say, no matter how the thirteen witch ancestors died, they must find out, but obviously, the matter is not that simple, and I hope I am too worried, I mean, if the criminal division is going to investigate this case, you better not get involved. ”
Chu Xian understood.
The sudden death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors must involve a lot of money, maybe now they don't even know how the Thirteen Witch Ancestors died.
An existence beyond the level of Dao Immortal died like this, and he didn't even know how to die, even if he wanted to say it, he couldn't talk to the Wu clan.
You can't tell the Wu clan that your thirteen Wu ancestors came to the Holy Dynasty and died quietly, but it has nothing to do with us.
How did the Thirteen Witch Ancestors die?
None of this is known.
Obviously, this can't be done, not only the Wu people won't agree, but the Holy Dynasty can't tolerate this kind of thing.
Therefore, it must be clarified before contacting the Wu Clan, otherwise the Wu Clan is likely to think that it was the Holy Pilgrimage Dao Immortal who secretly attacked and harmed their Wu Ancestor.
Once that happens, conflict is bound to arise.
Chu Xian knew that it was dangerous, and Kong Qian said this to protect himself.
Because, there is another possibility.
That is the one who killed the Thirteen Wu Ancestors, that is, the Holy Dynasty Dao Immortal, and it is the meaning of the top of the Holy Dynasty, if so, then the truth is absolutely impossible to 'find' out, so if the Holy Dynasty wants to investigate this case, it is only a formality, when the time comes, no matter who investigates, if the result is not found, they will be responsible, at least, the road of official career must end here, and it is impossible to make any more progress.
Chu Xian thought for a moment and whispered, "Master Kong means that the Thirteen Witch Ancestors may have been ...... by the upper echelons."
Kong Qian hurriedly made a gesture of silence.
"Chu Xian, this kind of thing, it's good that you know it in your heart, of course, this is just a guess, yes or no, it's still two words. What's more, I don't think it's very likely, but after all, you have to be careful, even if it's not, the existence that can kill the Thirteen Witch Ancestors without knowing it is definitely not so easy to find out, maybe, in the end, it will be fruitless. ”
Kong Qian is obviously an old man.
Although Kong Qian has no intention of climbing up, he is also very aware of the greasy and gloomy in his career.
This case, if it can't be found out, it's a fault, and if it is found, maybe it's also a mistake, in short, it's a thing that is best not to touch, and because of this, he asked Chu Xian not to get involved.
This is the protection of Chu Xian.
Chu Xian didn't say much, Kong Qian's care for him really moved his heart, if that was the case, Chu Xian would naturally not let Kong Qian bear it alone, as the chief promoter of the Criminal Division, no matter what, it was his duty, not that if he didn't participate, he could be confused.
At this time, Shi Langzhong walked out from the front and let the two of them in, Kong Qian stepped forward and said, "My lord, there are still many things on the side of the Criminal Division, it is better to let Chu Xian go back first, here, I can be alone." ”
He has been working with Kong Qian for more than ten years, and he can't see that Kong Qian is protecting Chu Xian, but at this moment, he shook his head and said: "Kong Tuiguan, don't talk about me in this matter, even our Shangshu adults can't control it, don't talk about the rest, you adults are waiting inside." ”
Kong Qian frowned when he saw it, but he also knew that there was no way, so he could only sigh and enter with Chu Xian.
This outside is guarded by the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty, and after entering, there are many warriors of the Wu clan, but at this moment, the Wu people are all indignant, all of them are murderous, and the atmosphere is already dignified to the extreme.
Entering the inner hall, Chu Xian and Kong Qian were stunned, but all of them were high-ranking officials of the Holy Dynasty, and almost all of the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion were there, and in addition, none of the other immortal officials were lower than the fourth grade.
On the other side, there was a Wu clan, and at this moment, a tall voice holding a black dragon staff of nine skulls was speaking.
"The immortals of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, my thirteen witch ancestors died mysteriously in the land of your Jingzhou, no matter what, you have to give an explanation, if you don't hand over the murderer, my Wu clan will definitely fight with you to the end. After speaking, he smashed the Nine Skulls Black Dragon Staff in his hand on the ground, and a force of impact rippled out, and his strength was not good, so he only felt that his body was shaky, and he almost fainted.
And the immortals of the Holy Dynasty are all immovable.
"Black Dragon Priest, we promise that we will find out about this matter and give an explanation to the Wu Clan. It was Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yu who spoke, and he also looked solemn at the moment.
"From morning to now, you have been investigating for several hours, but what can you find? If you want me to say, do you still need to investigate this matter? Those who can kill our thirteen witch ancestors, the entire Holy Dynasty is just a few people, I think, it is the poisonous hand of your Holy Dynasty Dao Immortals. Next to the Black Dragon Priest, a hideous-looking witch man scolded.
"Yes, we followed Lord Wu Zu to be a kind guest, and you, secretly killer, kill Lord Wu Zu, our Wu clan will never give up, you have the ability to kill us all, when the time comes, the Wu clan's million-strong army will inevitably wave south and kill you. The other Wu clan also roared with hatred, his mouth full of fangs and sharp fangs, looking at it all seeping.
Compared with the wrath of the Wu clan, the officials of the Holy Dynasty were extremely restrained.
However, obviously you can't let the people of the Wu clan just make trouble like this, if it's just noisy, how can you get down to business.
Over there, the jade general Run Boran took a step forward at this moment, and in an instant, the entire hall seemed to be plated with a layer of jade, Chu Xian and Kong Qian were also heartbroken at this moment, and they actually found that they couldn't move at all.
"Fist!"
Chu Xian's scalp was numb, he was a master of boxing himself, he created the momentum of the True Yang Divine Fist, and he stepped into the realm of a martial arts master in one fell swoop.
But now, compared to General Yu's fist momentum, it is obvious that Chu Xian's divine fist strength is not worth mentioning at all.
Of course, this is also normal, General Yu is the second martial saint of the Holy Dynasty, and he has passed through the way with his fist method, stepping into the realm of the martial saint, it is conceivable that his fist method must be a shock, if he doesn't make a move, it will be enough, and once he makes a move, it is definitely a change in the color of heaven and earth.
Not only Chu Xian was affected by this fist, but also everyone in the Wu Clan over there.
Except for a few, such as the Black Dragon Priest, the Wu Clansmen who cultivated relatively high, the rest were all pressed by the fist and couldn't move.
At this time, the jade general Run Boran said: "If the Holy Dynasty wants to use force, one of you will not be able to get out of here alive, before you said that we have no sincerity, but this is precisely our sincerity, if the Thirteen Witch Ancestors are really killed by us, then there is no reason to let you go." ”
After speaking, General Yu withdrew his fist, and in an instant, the jade color in his eyes also disappeared without a trace, and many Wu clan masters were stunned in a cold sweat, with a look of jealousy.
The Black Dragon Priest said at this time: "I have heard that the Heavenly Tang Holy Dynasty Jade General has unparalleled fist skills, and I can see it today, it is really worthy of the name, since this is the case, then good, I will give you time to find out the truth, in short, our Thirteen Witch Ancestors died in the Holy Dynasty realm, this matter, there must be an explanation, otherwise, our two clans, except for death." ”
After speaking, he said: "Seven days, give you seven days to find out the real culprit, otherwise, there is no need to investigate, our two clans can only meet each other." ”
"Seven days, that's too little. Yang Zhenqing said a word at this time, but who expected that the black dragon priest just shook his head and said word by word: "It's only seven days." ”
Chu Xian and Kong Qian stood at the back, and during the whole process, no one cared about them, and no one paid attention to them, after that, the two were called to a side room by Shi Langzhong, and after waiting for a while, three people walked in.
Seeing these three people, Chu Xian and Kong Qian immediately saluted.
Of these three people, Xiao Yu is the first, followed by the Jade General Run Boran, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
After the three of them came in, Xiao Yu said directly: "What I want to say next, you listen to it in your ears and rot in your stomach, who dares to spread it indiscriminately, and will be punished for the crime of plotting chaos." ”
Then he glanced at Chu Xian and Kong Qian, and said, " You all heard it just now, the thirteen witch ancestors are dead, the two of you, I want one person to investigate and handle this case, but there are some things I want to say in front, this case, it is almost impossible to find out the results, seven days later, the person in charge of investigating and handling the case, will be dismissed from his official position on the charge of unfavorable affairs, because he is unfavorable, and he will inevitably be imprisoned, even if the career is abolished in the future, and it will not fall into a good reputation, both of you are the best officials in Jingzhou at the moment, one is highly respected, the other has unlimited potential, but there is no way, choose other people, it will make people see the clues, it can only be looking for you, you choose one person to come out, and you can't choose it, Go back, everything I saw and heard today is rotten in my stomach, it's best to forget it for me, the chosen person is just me Xiao Yu can't stand you, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only be wronged. ”
This is full of murderous words, obviously, Xiao Yu is not joking.
Kong Qian had already understood, at this moment he nodded at Chu Xian, and then he was about to step out, but at this time, Chu Xian pulled Kong Qian back.
