Seeing Chu Xian nodding, the little official went to inform the subordinates and guards who had been summoned to prepare for them to leave.

Most of these people didn't say anything, only a few were quite dissatisfied with this kind of summoning and waving away, and deliberately said loudly as they walked: "Ask this and that all day long, I think this inspection department is nothing more than that, and if you can't find out the truth about the murder of Lord Yushi, you know how to toss people and make these useless efforts." ”

At the moment, many small officials and even officials in the Inspection Department have a bad face, and there are also people who are not convinced by Chu Xian, their eyes swept to Chu Xian, watching him make a fool of himself, you must know that this time Chu Xian ordered to summon the subordinates and guards of the Imperial History Mansion to come for questioning, which is already considered ultra viress, originally this kind of thing can only be led by the Imperial History, so there are already officials from the Inspection Department who plan to wait for Cui Huanzhi to come back and sue Chu Xian for the crime of acting beyond his authority.

This includes Zhang Jin, the chief secretary of the Inspection Division, who was loyal to him and willing to take refuge in Zhou Fang, Zhang Jin wanted to enhance his influence in the Inspection Division, so he accepted this Zhou Fang, but Chu Xian found an excuse to punish Zhou Fang, which in Zhang Jin's opinion, was tantamount to deliberately cutting his face.

According to the official position, Chu Xian is still a subordinate of his main writing order, but this Chu Xian only listens to Cui Huanzhi's orders, which makes Zhang Jin very uncomfortable.

"Chu Xian, Chu Zhibi, you are so bold, do you still have me as a Shangguan in your eyes? Suddenly summoning witnesses for interrogation in the middle of the night still makes people panic, let me ask you, who gave you so much power? Or do you have any ironclad evidence? If you find out something, it will be forgivable, but have you found out? You are very good at bluffing and pretending. ”

Zhang Jin's voice was very loud, and everyone was shocked to look at the inspector master Shuling, of course, everyone knew very well in their hearts that Zhang Jin was just using the topic to play.

Zhou Fang hid in the crowd, sneering and watching all this, the worse Chu Xian was trained, the more he felt relieved of his hatred. It's best if Chu Xian is unfavorable and loses his position, that's what he wants to see the most.

Chu Xian faced the scolding, but he was not in a hurry or annoyed, just now he was looking through the inquiry record in his hand, and at this moment he raised his head and said: "What Lord Zhang reprimands is that the lower officials must self-reflect, if there is any more action, they must first report to Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang will decide first." ”

That Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Chu Xian to be so calm, no matter his attitude or tone, he couldn't find anything wrong, which made it difficult for him to say the reprimands he prepared later.

To put it in layman's terms, Chu Xian doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, besides, Zhang Jin thought about it, he really can't hold Chu Xian, the other party's backer is Cui Huanzhi, that is the inspection of the imperial history, and it is impossible for him to cross the inspection of the imperial history and how to take Chu Xian.

Therefore, he could only stop there, flick his sleeves, and leave a sentence: "You can do it yourself." ”

After saying that, he walked back.

At this time, an old man over there came over with the subordinates and guards of the Imperial History Mansion, and said to Chu Xian: "Lord Chu, if there is nothing wrong, we will go back first." ”

Chu Xian knew that this old man was an old housekeeper who had followed Wang Xianming's imperial history for nearly 20 years, surnamed Guo, and now he was over seventy years old.

"Steward Guo, it's okay, it's so late, and I'm bothering you to take someone on this trip. Chu Xian said very politely, and then turned to Wu Ping behind him and said, "Wu Ping, take someone to escort Steward Guo back." ”

"No need. Steward Guo shook his head: "Lord Chu is loyal to his duties, investigating the case, we all understand, it's just a trip, there is nothing to worry about, I just hope that Lord Chu can solve the case as soon as possible and give Lord Wang justice." ”

After saying that, the old butler led the people away.

Chu Xian watched the old housekeeper go out, then turned around and ordered everyone to disperse, leaving only Qi Chengxiang.

"Sir, you should rest early. Qi Chengxiang knew that Chu Xian had been doing his best to investigate the case in the past few days, which was extremely energy-consuming.

Chu Xian nodded, and then suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Master Cui and Brother Li went out yesterday, did they find anything?"

Qi Chengxiang shook his head, obviously Cui Huanzhi and Li Yanji went to investigate, and he didn't know.

Chu Xian would go to the study at this time, look at the files on the table, and then tap the table with his fingers, making a knocking sound.

"Chief Qi Dao, if I assume that Wang Yushi was secretly placed under house arrest a month before he was killed, just ask, in the entire Fengcheng, who can do this?" Chu Xian still felt that his previous guess would not be wrong, but he did not find evidence, but this did not prevent him from hypothetically inferring.

Qi Chengxiang thought about it very seriously, and said: "Being able to put under house arrest a supervising imperial history must be monstrous in Fengcheng, I think about it, only three people have this ability, one is the Emperor of the Sui Prefecture Assassin Mansion, he is the lord of a state, and he has the ability to do it, and the other is the long history, and he also has the ability to do it, and the last one is the military government Sima, only these three people have such power, but it is not right, if any of them do this, the other two cannot be unaware." ”

"Yes, but in fact, in addition to the three of them, there is another person who can do this!" Chu Xian nodded, and just now, he suddenly thought of a possibility, which could be regarded as an idea, as if lightning flashed, and this idea popped up.

Qi Chengxiang obviously didn't believe it: "Who?"

Chu Xian squinted his eyes and said, "The big butler of the Imperial History Mansion is the old Mr. Guo just now." ”

Qi Chengxiang thought about it for a while, then patted his head, nodded and said: "Yes, to do this kind of thing, you don't have to be a powerful person, just now I fell into a misunderstanding, I only thought that I had to be powerful to do it, but if I am the chief steward of the Imperial History Mansion and control the entire Imperial History Mansion, I do have this ability, but it is ......"

"I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, a housekeeper has this ability, but how can he put a six-rank imperial history who has an official name, holy power, and proficient in official skills under house arrest, yes or no?" Chu Xian's eyes lit up at this moment, and the guess in his heart became clearer.

Qi Chengxiang nodded hurriedly, his face full of curiosity.

Chu Xian got up at this time, grabbed his coat and walked out, and said at the same time: "Cultivation is not everything, if the tiger fights alone with the Orion, the ten Orions are not the opponents of the tiger, but if you use traps, bows and crossbows, or, poison, there is a calculation or not, a hunter can hunt a tiger without much effort, Qi Daochang, you come with me." ”

Qi Chengxiang was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately equipped himself with a knife, and followed Chu Xian out of the official residence quickly.
