Chapter 54: Conflict

Chu Xian's momentum was very strong, and unconsciously, the majesty of his many years as an official showed a trace, but even this trace was enough to deter those patrolling soldiers and make them dare not step forward.

After all, whether the official talisman is real or false can be seen at a glance, and there is no doubt that the young person in front of him is definitely a genuine official.

Chu Xian didn't waste time, because he had long known that this kind of secret investigation would soon be discovered, and after reporting to his home, it was estimated that there would be corresponding officials coming soon.

It's a good time to explore a little more.

After watching the murder scene, Chu Xian directly asked a soldier to inquire where Wang Yushi's bedroom and study were.

The soldier didn't dare to hide it, pointed in the direction, and Chu Xian walked directly over with Qi Chengxiang.

The Imperial History Mansion is not large, and the bedroom and study are built next to each other, but at the moment the door is closed, and the seal of the government is pasted.

But in Chu Xian's eyes, these seals were nothing, so he went up and took them off, and directly pushed the door to enter the bedroom. The furnishings in the room were simple, clean and neat, Chu Xian glanced around, reached out and wiped it on the side of the bed, stained his hand with dust, uncovered the lampshade, and Chu Xian looked at the candlestick inside.

"Let's go, go to the study. ”

Chu Xian immediately walked towards the study, also unsealed the seal, and pushed the door in.

The study room is equally tidy.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table are neat, the books in the bookcase behind are scattered and regular, and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are also neatly arranged, but at this time Chu Xian frowned.

Although the calligraphy and paintings on the wall look neat, there is a place that is empty, and if you arrange it yourself, it will definitely not be empty such a place, although it is harmless, but judging from the visiting habits of so many books in the shelves, it is impossible for the owner here to tolerate this kind of thing.

If you look closely, there is a slight color difference on that wall, which should be that there was originally a word or a painting hanging here, and then someone took it off.

So, was it before Wang Yushi was killed or after he was killed?

At that moment there was a noise outside, and a rush of footsteps was heard, and then a man was heard shouting, "Who told you to let people in?" ”

While talking, an official walked in.

This official must be thirty or forty years old, not tall, dark skin, and his face is not good at the moment, first he reprimanded the soldier on duty, and then looked at Chu Xian, and said with suspicion: "I heard that you are the penkeeper of the inspection department, what about the official symbol, this official will take a look." ”

Chu Xian showed a fish-shaped official talisman, and the official knew that it was not fake at a glance, and immediately changed his smile: "If it is really Lord Chu who is the pen of the Inspection Division, Lord Chu should not blame it, it is true that someone has pretended to be the official position of the Holy Dynasty to do evil, so the city order Lord has repeatedly ordered that any foreign official needs to check his identity." ”

Chu Xian also understood the things on the official's face, and said with a smile: "Where the accusation is, it should be, how do you call this adult?"

"Oh, I'm the king of the east gate of Fengcheng. This official called Wang Zan also showed his own fish-shaped official talisman, and when Chu Xian saw it, he knew that the other party was from the ninth grade.

From the ninth grade, it is one level lower than his own nine grades, and the gate pass order is actually the official position responsible for guarding the city gate, which can be done by literati and martial artists, Chu Xian looked at Wang Zan's dark complexion, strong blood and blood, obviously a martial artist.

After receiving the official talisman, the king praised: "Lord Chu is here to report it, no wonder we are nervous." ”

The implication is that Chu Xian secretly came to Fengcheng, and even sneaked into the Imperial History Mansion, didn't even say hello, and didn't understand the rules.

Who is Chu Xian, how can he care about this, and he laughed at the moment: "The inspection department has always acted like this, not against Fengcheng, please understand this point." ”

Wang Zan was stunned for a moment, he secretly said yes, seeing that this Chu Xian is not very old, he didn't expect to speak so old-fashioned, and he didn't leak. At the moment, he snorted a haha, and said: "Lord Chu, even if it is the inspection department to investigate the case, you have to follow the rules, I have already reported it, and soon the city government will send an official to contact the lord, Lord Chu, why don't we come out first?"

Wang Zan gave up a position and pointed out the door.

Chu Xian smiled, turned around and glanced at the book room again, and then walked out. As soon as Wang Zan saw Chu Xian come out, he immediately asked the soldiers to close the door of the study and guard the door.

At this time, an official came running from outside, this official had a big belly, and he couldn't breathe when he ran, so Wang Zan looked at the person and hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Tan, you can count on it. Wang Zan said with a smile, but the official scolded: "If you don't even keep the Imperial History Mansion well, you are simply a waste." ”

Obviously, it was because Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang sneaked into this imperial history mansion that Wang Zan was scolded by Shangguan, and the latter didn't dare to reply with a bitter face.

Looking at Lord Tan again, after coming over, he glanced at Chu Xian up and down, and saw the official talisman on Chu Xian's waist, but he didn't care, because he was from the eighth rank of Guan Cheng, and his official position was logically one level higher than Chu Xian's nine grades, so he just frowned and said, "Where is Lord Yushi of the Inspection Division?"

Obviously, this Lord Tan doesn't disdain Chu Xian's inspection and writing.

Chu Xian already knew the other party's official position from the other party's official talisman, so he just shook his head and said, "Master Cui is not here." ”

Master Tan immediately sneered: "Yushi is not here, you dare to come to investigate the case with this little pen, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications yet." ”

Obviously, this Lord Tan didn't take Chu Xian in his eyes at all.

Chu Xian is neither humble nor arrogant: "I was ordered by Lord Cui to investigate the case first, and there is a warrant from the imperial history, if this lord doesn't believe it, you can take a look and talk about it." ”

After speaking, he took out a warrant and handed it over.

This warrant is naturally written by Cui Huanzhi himself, and it has the official sigil mark of inspecting the imperial history, which is genuine.

At this moment, Lord Tan's face changed, stared at Chu Xian for a moment, and then said: "Even if you have a warrant from the Imperial History, you can't investigate the case without authorization, especially this Imperial History Mansion is the first scene of the crime, if you destroy any evidence, can you afford it with a pen?"

Directly a hat buttoned over.

At this time, Wang Zan was busy coming over to play a round just now: "Lord Tan, I think this Lord Chu has just arrived, and I don't know the situation in our Fengcheng yet, and this Lord Chu has already investigated just now, so the lower officials will reseal this place, and it will definitely not destroy anything." ”

"Hmph!" Then Lord Tan obviously didn't intend to just do it, and sneered: "A little Jiupin who hasn't grown any hair is holding a pen, what can be found, it's a joke, I see that there is no one in the inspection department!"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Chengxiang took a step forward, half of the long knife on his waist had been drawn, he was Chu Xian's guard, someone insulted him as an official, of course he couldn't sit idly by, Qi Chengxiang was a guard, not an official, so he didn't care about the other party's official rank.

Lord Tan was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and several soldiers around him immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to confront Qi Chengxiang.

Conflict is on the verge of breaking out.
