Chapter 151 (1/2)



151 The Gu clan (1)

“All of this seems reasonable at first glance, but you don’t have concrete evidence on either the first supervisor or the North vanquishing Prince.

“The North-guarding King has been guarding the border all year round. I don’t know him well, and neither do you. It was a little arbitrary to judge him with ill intentions.

besides, North vanquishing Prince is a third-rank martial artist. It’s not impossible for him to reach second-rank in the future. It’s hard to say if he’s willing to be the Emperor. Hehe, of course, since ancient times, power has always moved people. If I say that he won’t rebel, it would be arbitrary.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus analyzed.

“There’s no conflict between advancing to second grade and becoming an Emperor, right?” Xu Qi ‘an had his own opinion. this is just my assumption. I haven’t verified it yet. When I collect evidence, it will be clear whether the northern Prince is the mastermind or not.

“But Taoist priest, I can’t continue the investigation.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed. although Emperor Yuan jing ordered me to take charge of this case, North vanquishing Prince is a Prince. He is a Prince with a large number of soldiers. I can’t openly investigate his residence.

“The old eunuch of the Directorate of Celestials is feigning illness, so I can’t go to the stargazing tower to question him either. It’s very difficult.”

“Emperor Yuan jing?” The Golden Lotus Taoist squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Qi ‘an with an inexplicable meaning.

“It’s been many years since I’ve heard a Lackey of the Imperial court dare to call him that.” The Taoist priest’s eyes were filled with surprise as he clicked his tongue and said,

“I seem to have overlooked something.”

“What did you miss?” Xu Qi ‘an asked subconsciously.

“The donor has a rebellious bone in the back of his head.” The old Daoist priest commented.

‘I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense. Don’t accuse me …’ Xu Qi ‘an’s face was serious, and he said in a serious tone, “”I’m loyal to Your Majesty.”

Golden Lotus Daoist priest did not expose him.

“This case is very deep. Is there anything you want to teach me?” Xu Qi ‘an asked carefully.

“When you were pretending to be a scholarly disciple in the Heaven and Earth Society, you were quite clever.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus teased.

I knew that you would be smiling like an Auntie while watching us fight in the group … Xu dalang ridiculed this old silver coin in his heart.

let me analyze for you. There are a few things that are not right in your description.

“Daoist priest, please speak.” Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes lit up.

He had chosen to communicate with the old Daoist openly because he had taken a fancy to the old Daoist’s wisdom and rich experience.

Old silver coin was despicable, but if they were allies, they often gave people a sense of security.

The Golden Lotus Taoist pondered for a while and said, “”The first thing that’s not right is that the supervisor is standing by and watching. If the one suppressing sangpo was the first supervisor of the Directorate of Celestials, he should be the most anxious one. But he was very quiet … En, it’s also possible that this sinister and cunning old thing is no longer in the stargazing tower, and it’s unknown what he’s doing in secret.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded silently.

The first supervisor and the current one were like fire and water. The reason was simple. The master had been suppressed, but the disciple was still in charge of the Directorate of Celestials. It was obvious that the plastic master-disciple relationship had broken. Otherwise, with the strength of a first-grade supervisor, even the Dao chief of the human sect would not be able to stop him.

“The second thing that’s not right is Emperor Yuan jing. The day after the Sang Bo case happened, he lifted the city restrictions. Hehe … Don’t you think it’s strange? there’s no such thing as letting a Tiger return to the mountain.”

I’ve thought about these two questions, ” Xu Qi ‘an said immediately. my guess at that time was that perhaps they opened the city gate and lured the snake out of its hole … Well, I can’t get in touch with or grasp the state of the supervisor and Emperor Yuan jing, they are too high level.”

“That’s true.” this isn’t the only reason you wanted to talk to me, right? ” Taoist master Jin Lian asked. is number six related to the Sang Bo case? ”

“To be precise, monk Hengyuan’s junior Brother might be related to this case. After he lost contact for no reason, I was even more certain of this guess.”

“You have indeed been to Azure Dragon Temple and know Hengyuan’s identity.” Golden Lotus Daoist priest was not surprised. He asked, “”Junior Brother?”

“There’s a monk in the Azure Dragon Temple, his Buddhist name is Heng Hui. More than a year ago, he eloped with Prince Yu’s daughter, Princess Ping Yang. Prince Yu suffered a heavy blow and was bedridden. This matter is related to the struggle between the noble and civil officials.” Xu Qi ‘an grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of water. After soothing his throat, he continued,

“In order to hide Princess Ping Yang from the search, monk Heng Hui stole a Qi-concealing magic artifact from Azure Dragon Temple. I suspect that the magic tool fell into the hands of Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the Golden guards.”

Golden Lotus listened patiently, sometimes frowning and sometimes deep in thought. After Xu Qi ‘an finished, he said, ” so, you want to check on henghui through Hengyuan to verify your guess? ”

“Yes, this is the only breakthrough I have at the moment. Taoist priest, do you still remember? Hengyuan said that Junior Brother was kidnapped, and the abbot of Azure Dragon Temple said that henghui eloped. Hengyuan might have found some clues when he left Azure Dragon Temple to investigate …”

“You hope that I can bring you to him.”

“I’m counting on you, Daoist priest.”

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
