After the immortal disappeared

The further you go towards the main city, the busier the roads become.

Teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, foot shops, bathhouses, theaters, coliseums and government offices are all available for people's livelihood and public needs.

He Lingchuan even saw a giant restaurant on the roadside, with five floors, each floor covering several thousand square meters. It was brightly lit and the guests of honor were noisy.

But it is not the largest and most splendid building, the temple is.

Just behind the main street, where every inch of land is precious, He Lingchuan can always see the roofs of various temples, some big and some small. The names enshrined in the temples are also different.

Anyway, those who can establish a name and open a temple in Lingxu City are not ordinary gods.

According to Fu Shanyue, the suddenly rich and wealthy people especially like to donate money to build or renovate temples. Otherwise, it would be good to add a temple roof. If Lingxu City does not allow the use of golden roofs, maybe everything will be glittering with gold. The nobles not only gain face by telling them about their deeds, but also seek continued blessings from the gods.

"efficient?"

As soon as He Lingchuan asked the question, he felt stupid.

Fu Shanyue laughed loudly: "The gods are silent, but sincerity is the spirit!"

When it gets dark, we face an accommodation problem.

If officials from various places or vassal kingdoms come to Lingxu City to wait for orders or do business, they usually have to live in a post house to facilitate summons from above.

Fu Shanyue entered the capital on his own this time and could freely choose his residence. But he still chose to stay in the post house temporarily, so as not to be unable to find anyone when the superiors wanted to summon him.

With just such a detail, He Lingchuan knew that this person was rough on the outside but subtle on the inside.

Or maybe there are too many big names in Lingxu City, and even Fu Shanyue doesn't dare to act recklessly here.

Although it is a post house, domestic and foreign envoys and officials from other places stay here when they come to the city, so the conditions are quite good, with a quiet environment, exquisite utensils, and the smiles of the servants are sincere and natural.

Of course, the posthouse is also divided into three levels. When officials from other small countries come to Lingxu City, they are usually only sent to second- or third-class post houses, and no one dares to have any objections.

As a matter of course, Prince Chiyan wanted to live in the highest level, so He Lingchuan also moved in.

If the inns that He Lingchuan stayed in before were all small guesthouses where the front desk clerks often disappeared for no reason, then the first-class inn in Lingxu City was at the level of a five-star hotel.

As his men were busy settling down, Fu Shanyue wanted to drag He Lingchuan to drink and wash away his dust, but the latter refused:

"I have something to do."

Talking nonsense, Fu Shanyue glared: "It's your first time in Lingxu City, what can happen to you!"

"Visiting relatives and friends." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, "To be honest, I will meet you for a drink tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go."

He Lingchuan thought for a while, then went back to his guest room, released the eyeball spider onto the beam, then quietly left the back door of the inn, boarded a deer cart, and rushed to his next destination.

Less than two hours after he left, the guard came in and announced:

"Your Highness, the messenger from Heavenly Palace is here to deliver the order!"

"Now?" It's dark now. Is the emperor so anxious?

The more Fushan saw the envoy, it turned out that Zhaixinglou actually announced that he would see him overnight.

His decision to stay in the post house was indeed the right one. Fu Shanyue straightened his clothes and went with the envoy.

The other party didn't mention He Lingchuan at all.

Young Master He was still a key figure in Bai Shaqiang, but he was nothing here. It was enough for Bai Ziqi and Fu Shanyue to express their love in person. As an insignificant outsider, He Lingchuan was not even qualified to be summoned by the emperor.

Bai Ziqi brought him to Lingxu City just to be prepared in case any master wanted to know more about the situation but couldn't find the case handler of Prince Chi Yan.

Of course He Lingchuan knew that he also had other motives.

￥￥￥￥￥

Heavenly Palace, Star-Zhaing Tower.

Bai Ziqi knelt down and recounted his investigation of the case in Bai Shaqian. This was not only for the Demon Emperor, Master Duyun, but also for the Lord Lingxu.

He handled the case meticulously, and all the physical evidence, witnesses, and prisoners involved in the case were brought back to Lingxu City, including the bodies of Fu Songhua, Wu Kai, and Cheng Yu.

The Demon Emperor listened for most of an hour and couldn't help but yawned: "You mean, Cen Boqing confessed?"

"I admit it, but Mrs. Cen brought witnesses to prove that he was just an accessory. There is someone else behind the scenes."

The Demon Emperor asked again: "It's so difficult for Wu Kai to open his mouth, so how come it was so easy for Yao Xingning to catch the actor who was hooking up with him?"

Bai Ziqi shook his head: "Mrs. Cen said she was lucky."

"I'm afraid someone secretly helped her." The Demon Emperor said lazily, "You don't need to ask her. She is Ma Daha, and she probably doesn't even know it. Can you continue to investigate this case?"

Bai Ziqi hesitated slightly:

"I'm afraid it involves a lot."

"You check first, the results will not be announced yet." The Demon Emperor said slowly, "Da Sinong has been crying to me for several days, saying that his family has no idea what his son-in-law has done; the Zhongsun family, they are here to aggrieve. , we want to track down Zhongsun Mou’s whereabouts, saying that we want to see people alive and see their corpses when they die.”

Bai Ziqi said: "They are also involved in the elixir case."

"Oh, Qingfu Temple and the people inside were burned to death, Wu Kai was also dead, and there were no physical witnesses. Old man Zhongsun confidently denied it, saying that he had never taken the elixir of life, and that his grandson was here It's impossible for Bai Shaqian to cover up Cen Boqing and give false testimony. It's all framed by Cen Boqing. This cunning old guy... Well, when you investigated the case in Baishaqian, did you find any direct evidence that Zhong Sunmou perjured himself for Cen Boqing? "

Bai Ziqi thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "This case is progressing slowly in Bai Shaqian, and it is almost impossible to investigate, because there is no evidence that Zhong Sunmou and Cen Boqing were directly involved in the case. Wu Kai worked very carefully. In the case of the missing courier, he provided a false confession It was Fu Songhua who wrote and stamped it himself. Even if he is investigated afterwards, Zhong Sunmou will only be guilty of gullibility, neglect and ineffective handling of the case."

Therefore, the charges of privately purchasing the elixir of life for the Zhongsun family were only pending, but the disappearance of Zhongsun Mou made the family the real victims.

"I expected it to be like this." The Demon Emperor snorted, "The Zhongsun family still wants to cause trouble for the Cen family. Do you think that's right?"

"If Mai Xuewen's robbery and murder of Zhong Sunmou was an independent act and not directed by Cen Boqing, then..."

"Mai Xuewen is still at large, and you haven't even touched his shadow. It seems like he won't come out in a short time."

Bai Ziqi lowered his head: "This subordinate is incompetent."

"Okay, ignore the Zhongsun family and continue to pursue the clues provided by Mrs. Cen..."

Before the Demon Emperor finished speaking, several red letters suddenly appeared on the heavenly book:

If you kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, Zhongsun will not be punished lightly.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

With just a few words, the Zhongsun family will be in disaster.

This is God's will.

After a while, the Demon Emperor said: "Zhongsun has been an old minister with a weak spirit for more than a hundred years."

This was considered a plea, but there was no response from the Heavenly Book. It was obvious that the God had no intention of taking back his life.

The private refining and purchase of elixir was really against their taboo.

The Demon Emperor coughed again: "If you want to do something, you have to do it according to the rules. Only do it if there is evidence! If Bai Ziqi continues to pursue it, neither the buyer nor the buyer of the elixir can escape. If the Zhongsun family is punished... why bother in a hurry?"

For a long time, there were no new instructions from the Book of Heaven, perhaps by default.

The Demon Emperor immediately changed the subject: "Is there some progress at Qingfu Temple?"

Every day and on earth, there were no problems for him. If there is a chicken on the countertop, there may be a nest of chickens in the house. Zhongsun Mou bought the elixir for his old man. This was by no means an exception.

Is it the same as killing people, punishing them severely if they find a case?

How many subjects would be involved? What should I do if the royal court of Lingxu City is in turmoil?

But in Gao Aotian's dictionary of gods, where can the words "the law does not punish the public" appear?

Bai Ziqi didn't know what the Demon Emperor was thinking, so he just bowed his head and said "yes".

"As for the strange behavior of the big square pot, what do you think?" The Demon Emperor has just heard the statement, and now he wants to listen to Bai Ziqi's own opinion.

He glanced at the altar. It was quiet up there.

"The breath of Dafang Hu fluctuated twice before and after. From the perspective of time and space, Prince Fu Shanyue and Mai Xuewen of Chiyan probably appeared in that vicinity." Bai Ziqi said respectfully, "My subordinates believe that these two people must check."

"King Baoshu took the lead, and four or five demon kings came to the table one after another. Hmm, now is not a good time to touch people like Fu Shanyue. At least I have to wait until the case of the immortal medicine is over, lest the demon kings think that I am targeting the Chiyan Kingdom." Demon Emperor Looking at Bai Ziqi, "You'd better be polite to Fu Shanyue."

"Yes." Bai Ziqi hesitated.

The Demon Emperor immediately noticed: "Is there anything wrong? Tell me!"

"The special envoy sent by Prince Chiyan to investigate the case, his subordinates also felt that something was wrong with him."

"Oh? Is he the one who investigated the courier case and uncovered Cen Boqing?" The Demon Emperor raised his voice slightly, "How do you say that?"

Bai Ziqi didn't dare to be negligent and told the truth: "I can't find any connection or any evidence, not even indirect. My subordinates just... don't feel at ease when they see him."

"Spiritual perception is more important than evidence." The Demon Emperor didn't think there was any problem with this. "In that case, just call him for interrogation. It's such a small matter, why do you need to hesitate?"

"My subordinate understands."

Baishageng was the territory of Prince Chiyan, and it was difficult for Bai Ziqi to directly interrogate his subordinates there; but when he returned to Lingxu City, many of his worries disappeared or were simplified.

"It's not convenient for you to interrogate Fu Shanyue, but you can interrogate his subordinates." The Demon Emperor chuckled, "Isn't this just right?"

"Yes." Bai Ziqi thought for a moment and then said, "If neither he nor Prince Chiyan is the target we are looking for, can the Holy Lord cause the Dafang Pot to move again?"

There are only three things that can happen. If the Dafang Pot sends out fluctuations again and again, the difficulty of locating it will be greatly reduced.

There was no response from the Book of Heaven, and it was obvious that the gods were also pondering. The reasons for the two changes of the Dafang Pot were completely unrelated, and it was hard to say what the trigger would be.

The Demon Emperor was worried: "What if it finds out?"

Two lines of words slowly appeared in the heavenly book:

Mi Tian is dead. The large square pot has instinct and no spirit. Once it is opened, it cannot be stopped.

"Really? That's good."

Lord Duyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "The Holy Lord said that the big square pot had undergone many changes in Mitian's hands more than a hundred years ago. Someone saw it swallowing a water spirit, which shows that it is addicted to heavenly materials. Earth treasure."

There is another writing in the Heavenly Book:

"The large square pot integrates the laws of both worlds and likes to eat rare treasures from both worlds."

After hearing this, the Demon Emperor said: "Okay, isn't the Dunyuan sale in Golden Horn starting soon? Go to the warehouse to get a god's relic and test them."
