Chapter 398: It can only be me

"Chu Xian, you ......" Kong Qian was stunned, but Chu Xian said to Xiao Yu: "Lord Zhongshu, Chu Xian has a question, and I also ask Lord Zhongshu to tell the truth and tell the truth no matter what." ”

Xiao Yu was also a little surprised, looked at Chu Xian, nodded and said, "You ask." ”

Chu Xian asked, "Is the death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors related to the Holy Dynasty?"

Shang Shusheng of the Criminal Department over there was afraid that Chu Xian would collide with the book order, so he immediately said, "Chu Xian, what do you mean by this?"

However, the jade general Run Boran raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Xian meaningfully, and Xiao Yu understood the meaning of Chu Xian's question, so he said: "I can tell you very responsibly that the death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors has nothing to do with the Holy Dynasty, at least, it has nothing to do with the official face of the Holy Dynasty." ”

This means to tell Chu Xian that the Thirteen Witch Ancestors were not assassinated by the high-ranking officials of the Holy Dynasty for some political reason.

When Chu Xian heard this, he nodded and said, "Then, Chu Xian has no problem, this case, Chu Xian is willing to be responsible for the investigation and handling, and within seven days, give the Wu clan a satisfactory explanation." ”

Over there, Kong Qian was anxious: "Chu Xian, you can't be like this, you have unlimited potential in the future, I, Kong Qian, am about to die, whether this matter is successful or not, it should be me to bear this charge, which is also to serve the Holy Dynasty." ”

Chu Xian shook his head: "Master Kong, you can give me Chu Xian this credit, don't rob me of it." ”

"Credit, what credit?" Kong Qian was stunned, not to mention him, even Xiao Yu and Run Boran also looked at Chu Xian curiously.

"Of course, it's the credit for finding out this big case. Chu Xian's face was serious: "The Thirteen Witch Ancestors were killed in Jingzhou, if this case is clarified, of course, it will be a great achievement." ”

General Yu over there smiled, and even Xiao Yu shook his head: "Chu Xian, didn't you listen carefully? This case has no trace at all, we have all gone to check, let alone seven days, even seventy days will not have results, can assassinate the Thirteen Witch Ancestors under the noses of the masters of our two clans, the murderer must have been carefully planned, and the cultivation is only above me, otherwise how can we deal with the enemy Thirteen Witch Ancestors? This case, which can't be found, takes seven days, and it's just to dispatch troops and prepare to deal with the revenge of the Wu clan, and even I suspect that this is a trick directed and acted by the Wu people. ”

Obviously, even Xiao Yu didn't have any expectations at all that he could find out the truth. Because, this matter is simply a conspiracy, a conspiracy to provoke the two races to fight and fight.

Since it is a conspiracy, then the case itself is no longer important, it is important to gather combat forces and go to Wuzhou Chiyan Mountain to prepare to deal with the crazy 'revenge' of the Wu Clan, or an attack.

You must know that the Wu clan still has twelve witch ancestors, and there are many scorching sun priests who are no less than Dao immortals, and the other party really kills with the strength of the whole clan, which is also an extremely troublesome and tricky thing for the Holy Dynasty.

"Master Zhongshu thinks that this is a self-directed and self-acting plan of the Wu Clan?" Chu Xian asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "It's not important, the important thing is that we can't come up with a result that satisfies them, and the so-called investigation is just a formality." ”

Chu Xian seemed to be very stubborn at this time, and said: "Then, if the murderer is found within seven days, can the possible war be quelled?"

Xiao Yu knew what Chu Xian was thinking: "Chu Xian, I know that you are young and vigorous, and I also know that you have unique features in investigating the case and judging the murderer, but this matter is extremely difficult, of course, if you can really find out the matter within seven days, and this truth is not damaged in the Holy Dynasty, then of course it is the best, in this way, you can resolve the war." However, Chu Xian, you must also know that the possibility of finding out the result of this matter is one in ten thousand, so it is necessary to prepare for war. ”

Chu Xian nodded: "This subordinate knows." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Kong Qian, who was already a little stunned: "Master Kong, I bother you to mention the Criminal Division to preside over the overall situation first, here, leave it to Chu Xian." ”

At this moment, in the hearts of Xiao Yu and General Yu Runboran and others, the importance of Chu Xian is even deeper, at least Chu Xian knows the difficulties and takes responsibility, which is much stronger than some people in the court.

"Chu Xian, you think about it clearly, this matter, several immortal officials of our Shoufu Pavilion have investigated, it can be said that there are almost no clues, the Thirteen Witch Ancestors were found dead in the study, there are no scars on the outside, but they have died of anger, we can confirm this, and there is no sign of fighting in the study, I think, the murderer must have used some kind of special technique, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, killing with one blow. Jade General Run Boran said at this time.

Obviously, these words were reminding Chu Xian, and they were also telling the situation of the discovery of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors at that time, which was equivalent to providing clues to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian nodded: "Lord Zhongshu, General Yu, Lord Shangshu, this matter Chu Xian has already thought clearly, this case Chu Xian must be investigated, and since I am the chief promoter of the Criminal Division, it is even more of a responsibility." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yu looked with a hint of expectation: "Chu Xian listens to the order, from now on, you will investigate the case of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, and the case in the Criminal Division, you put it down first and hand it over to Kong Qian, remember, you only have seven days, and all the departments of the Holy Dynasty can be transferred at will as long as you need it, even if it is the Praetorian Guard and the Flying Armor Army, as long as there are no more than 100 people, you can also call it directly." Seven days later, if the real culprit is found out, it is a great achievement, if nothing can be found after seven days, the official will investigate and deal with it. ”

Chu Xian was seized: "The lower official receives the order." ”

Xiao Yu took a deep look at Chu Xian, then turned around and left.

Kong Qian stepped forward at this moment: "Chu Xian, why are you so troubled? This case, Lord Zhongshu has already said it very clearly, in fact, what can't be found, even if something is found, it may not be able to satisfy the Wu clan, this is just a formality at all, no one will think that anything can be found, including Lord Zhongshu himself." ”

Chu Xian shook his head: "That's true, but it's not, the current situation is indeed very dangerous, but as long as you look closely, you will be sure of one thing." ”

Kong Qian was stunned: "What are you sure about?"

Chu Xian said: "On the side of the Wu Clan, they didn't know that the Thirteen Witch Ancestors would die, in other words, at least the scorching sun priest called the Black Dragon didn't know, they were equally frightened, equally angry, and a little overwhelmed. ”

"How do you know?" Kong Qian didn't believe.

Chu Xian said: " Just now I carefully observed the people on the side of the Wu Clan, if it was a conspiracy of the Wu Clan, their reaction would not be so frightened and angry, even if most people can act, but some subtle actions can also be exposed, in addition, the seven days given by the Black Dragon Priest is not a nonsense time, and now the news of the murder of the Thirteen Wu Ancestors should have been transmitted back to the Wu Clan, if it is a bitter plan set up by the Wu Clan, then, they will not give us seven days, and they will use force immediately, but they don't, that is to say, the Black Dragon Priest should know that seven days is the longest time he can delay, at least the Black Dragon Priest also hopes that we can give them a satisfactory answer, otherwise, the two clans will fight to the death, which is not good for the Holy Dynasty and is not good for the Wu Clan. ”

Kong Qian sighed: "These are just your guesses, what if it's our wishful thinking?"

Chu Xian smiled: "There is no basis for speculation, but there is reason and evidence, for speculation, Master Kong, you should know that as long as there is a basis, then even if the result is small, it must not be forgotten, this is the criterion of pushing officials, and it has been written into the "Theory of Inference" by you and me." ”

Kong Qian was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "Okay, I can't tell you, if you are sure of this matter, then check it, not to mention, the matter has come to this point, even if you want to regret it." ”

Chu Xian nodded.

This matter, Chu Xian is not arrogant, first, although Kong Qian is experienced, if you investigate this major matter, you will not be able to find out the reason, but it is different if you are yourself, at least in the investigation of the case, even Kong Qian is not as good as himself, this confidence, Chu Xian still has it. Second, this matter is very strange, the thirteen witch ancestors were actually killed and died in a foreign land, this is simply an unbelievable thing, and it is related to the lives of hundreds of people of the two races, how can Chu Xian retreat. If you retreat in this matter, in the eyes of Xiao Yu and others, it will also leave a bad impression, so it is better to take the initiative to ask for help, break the kettle, and find out about this matter.

Chu Xian's investigation of cases, whether it is a big or small case, has his own set of regulations, no matter how chaotic the clues are, as long as they are straightened out, they can understand the whole thing.

Chu Xian is responsible for the investigation and handling of the murder of Wu Zu, this matter is unknown to ordinary officials and ordinary people, and only officials above the fifth rank of the Holy Dynasty will know about it.

Hearing this news, the officials had different thoughts. Some people think that this Chu Xian doesn't know what to do, and he can't do anything about it, you must know that this kind of case, how can he be investigated by a small criminal magistrate? Dead, but the thirteen witch ancestors of the Wu clan, what kind of existence does that have? And there must be an inside story in this, but no matter what it is, Chu Xian is not qualified enough. A mortal to investigate the case of an existence beyond the level of a Dao Immortal is like an ant trying to intervene in the battle between tigers, it is an act of seeking death. There are also people who think that Chu Xian is grandstanding, of course, there are also people who understand, knowing that Chu Xian is a last resort, when such a big thing happens, the Holy Dynasty always has to put on a posture of investigating the case, and since the case is to be investigated, according to the rules, in the land of Jingzhou, then the Criminal Division is the right one, Chu Xian is the chief magistrate, he is not up, who is on it?

In other words, since Chu Xian is the chief promoter of the Jingzhou Criminal Division, this matter will inevitably fall on him, and it is something that cannot be avoided.

"This Chu Xian is also unlucky, he actually ran into this kind of thing, it seems that his career is about to stop there. "Some officials have apparently seen through the essence of this matter.

After Yang Zhenqing learned the news, he was not surprised.

In this matter, Chu Xian, the chief promoter of the Criminal Division, is in charge, of course, Yang Zhenqing also knows that Chu Xian came to investigate the case, it is just a formality, in fact, on the side of the Holy Dynasty, there are also real elites all the way who are also investigating this case, to find out how the Thirteen Witch Ancestors died.
