Chapter 341: I Just Came to the Capital and I'm Blamed
The first day after returning to the imperial capital.
No.
It was only half a day.
After dealing with a bunch of messy things, Dou Changsheng, who had just laid down to rest, got up again.
Reaching out to pick up the clothes and put them on, Dou Changsheng pushed open the door and said to Wu Junyi outside: "Speak?"
"What happened?"
Dou Changsheng also knew that there must be something important when he came late at night.
After Wu Junyi bowed respectfully, he said: "The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice is dead."
Dou Changsheng frowned and said unhappily: "The minister of the Ministry of Justice is also dead."
The minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xiong Shilong, participated in the prince's plan to harm himself. Although he survived that fight, with his growing power and the surrender of the left and right prime ministers, this minister of the Ministry of Justice was not only dismissed from office, but also directly liquidated.
This situation happened because Xiong Shilong didn't know what was good for him. He could have retired and returned home after the matter was over, so he could have left a decent face. But who made him stay and stay, so this disaster happened.
It wasn't the six ministers who died. Although the ministers were also high-ranking officials, it was a time of trouble.
For a provincial governor, it was inevitable that he would die, and once he died, he would be dead.
Wu Junyi immediately explained: "The minister of the Ministry of Justice not only died an untimely death, but was involved in a strange incident."
"I don't know when a headless corpse appeared in the imperial capital."
"Originally, this was not a big deal, and it was handled directly by the Kyoto Prefecture."
"But then the case began to explode, and headless corpses appeared one after another, which attracted the attention of the Kyoto Prefecture. They believed that it was done by a martial arts master, so they handed the case over to the Six Gates directly."
"The imperial capital is the foot of the emperor, the best place, and such a shocking case appeared, so the Six Gates naturally attached great importance to it."
"The divine eye of one of the ten famous detectives The detective was in charge personally. "
"After the detective with divine eyes came out, I thought it would be easy to solve the case and catch the real culprit behind the scenes."
"But I never thought that the case would not be contained, but continued to expand. Originally, after an outbreak, only five or six people died a day. By the time of the detective with divine eyes, there were already 20 to 30 people, which is not a small number. "
"Especially the strength of the deceased has begun to involve the middle third rank, no longer ordinary people and lower third rank warriors."
Dou Changsheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "Speak to the point."
"This detective with divine eyes died, and Zhao Tingzhi of the Six Gates also died."
Zhao Tingzhi is the master of the Six Gates.
It is obvious that the case has not been settled. Now it continues to expand. Even the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice has died. The detective with divine eyes is definitely in danger.
Wu Junyi said with a wry smile: "The body of the famous detective with divine eyes is now lying in the Six Gates."
"The court is not a decoration. After Zhao Tingzhi personally took action, this master of the Six Gates lived up to his reputation and calmed the situation in a short time."
"But today Zhao Tingzhi mysteriously disappeared, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice died, and his head disappeared."
"The headless case broke out again, especially when it began to involve the upper three ranks, and the death was such a big shot. This matter can no longer be suppressed, and it must be handled by His Highness."
Wu Junyi briefly introduced the process, and Dou Changsheng's expression became solemn. He spoke in a deep voice: "Someone doesn't want me to leave the imperial capital."
Although there was no evidence, Dou Changsheng saw the truth of the headless case at a glance.
This is a person with ulterior motives. He deliberately used this headless case to delay his energy and let himself focus on the imperial capital instead of the world.
The other party is very insidious, but the effect is good.
If the headless case continues to develop, everyone in Daqian will be in danger, and the imperial capital will be in turmoil. Dou Changsheng will definitely not be able to take care of other things. He must deal with the headless case.
"The Six Gates have been investigating for so long, and Zhao Tingzhi has even calmed it down once. He must have a lot of clues."
"After reading the information, who do you suspect is the traitor? Tell me first?"
Yes.
It's the traitor.
A headless case has caused such a big storm.
Even an important official like the Lord of the Six Gates disappeared. If there is no traitor, Dou Changsheng will definitely not believe it.
Even Dou Changsheng has doubts about Zhao Tingzhi in his heart. This person is the chief officer investigating the case and the missing person.
It is difficult for others to complete the headless case, and it is even more difficult to make a strong man in the late stage of the Heavenly Man Realm disappear quietly and mysteriously, but if it is Zhao Tingzhi himself, everything will be very simple.
Wu Junyi did not answer immediately, but bowed his head and said dryly: "After Zhao Tingzhi disappeared, the imperial capital spread the rumor that the headless case was because His Highness was refining ghost soldiers."
"His Highness was born in the Tianshi Sect and mastered the magic martial arts of refining corpses. Now he has taken a step further and extracted the soul to cast headless ghost soldiers to suppress the world."
"Such nonsense news, many people now believe it."
Dou Changsheng frowned again. If this continues, forehead wrinkles will inevitably appear.
Nothing is worry-free. Such false news can be distinguished by anyone with a good head, but there are still many believers, which can only mean that many people have evil intentions and they do it deliberately.
This is also normal.
When I returned to the imperial capital, I gained the power of Daqian and was united.
That was purely a scene in a dream.
Everyone has selfishness.
Some people are willing, and naturally some people are unwilling.
Even these smart people saw that Daqian was going to end.
Loyal people will naturally die with Daqian, but there are also many people who are willing to sell Daqian for a good price and then jump ship to change to another owner.
"This matter is deliberately framed, and it is not very useful."
"They are hitting my prestige and forcing me to deal with the headless case."
"So as long as the headless case is dealt with, everything will end."
"Can you tell me the clues first?"
Wu Junyi said: "Before Zhao Tingzhi disappeared, I just looked through the information sorted out and found that the God Eye Detective and Zhao Tingzhi both believed that this headless case was similar to the headless case in Xidu Shen'an that year."
"Whether it is the way the bodies of the headless cases died, or the scale of each outbreak, the time interval is exactly the same."
"Someone deliberately imitated the crime, and he is also a person who is very familiar with the headless case."
Dou Changsheng's eyes became deep. Dou Changsheng was not unfamiliar with the headless case in Xidu Shen'an in the past, because Dou Changsheng had contact with more than one eyewitness at the time.
The headless case in Xidu Shen'an was solved by Li Xuanchu and Miao Shenwu, which made Miao Shenwu famous and began to rise to the top.
This was just the version Dou Changsheng first understood. In fact, there was a big fish hidden in it, that is Lin Yucheng.
This person, who was friends with his master Badai and regarded as a close friend, also took the initiative to embark on this road of no return with a dream of the rivers and lakes.
No, it cannot be said that there is no return.
The rivers and lakes are dangerous, but for people like Lin Yucheng and Badai, they are like fish in water.
And this time, the case involved not only them, but also the Ninth Prince.
Don't think that the Ninth Prince died early and was killed together with Zhou Tiansi, which is not worth mentioning.
In fact, the Ninth Prince is the face of the court. To put it bluntly, he is the pillar of the court in recent years.
Since the headless case, the Ninth Prince has been friends with Qingxuan and the Eighth Generation. During the Blood Demon Rebellion, the Ninth Prince represented the court. He is a figure that cannot be bypassed in the past one or two hundred years.
Zhou Tiansi is also not weak. He became famous when he was young. In the end, he won a great victory in the encirclement and suppression of the Twelve Linked Docks and became famous all over the world. He killed a brother of the big boss and broke his state of mind.
However, these two are dead, and no matter how glorious the past is, it is not worth mentioning.
On the contrary, some people who were involved in the headless case in Xidu Shen'an in the past are basically alive now.
Li Xuanchu is a disciple of the Tianlang Sword Sect. Now he is in seclusion. Miao Shenwu has turned into a ground-level wonder, neither dead nor alive.
The Eighth Generation and Qingxuan were also suspected to be in Xidu Shen'an at that time.
They did not participate heavily, after all, their status was not high at that time.
Qingxuan even served as Li Xuanchu's little follower for a while.
Not many people paid attention to that period of time, but not long after, the members of this team all broke through to the Heavenly Man Realm, which can be regarded as a great story of the generation. Now it seems even more extraordinary, and it can already shake the world.
The scale of the headless case was not too high in those days.
It only involved the middle third grade, barely the third grade level. After all, Miao Shenwu and others at that time were just young talents.
But this case was very critical and was the cornerstone of the rise of Lin Yucheng and Miao Shenwu.
The Eighth Generation and Qing Xuan and others also met for the first time because of this.
In this way, the headless case is very important.
The scale of the outbreak now, Zhao Tingzhi was actually the death of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. No one thought it was the headless case of the past. They would only think that the manipulator behind the headless case was related to the person who solved the headless case at the beginning.
The first suspect is naturally the Eighth Generation.
Not only can he think of it, but most of the others are the same.
This also explains why Xiao Wu did not say the suspected target, but changed the subject, because the Eighth Generation was too special to him, and Xiao Wu was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Dou Changsheng sneered, it was really interesting.
The headless case was not important, its main function was to tie up his energy and buy time for the person behind the scenes.
At the same time, it was also a deliberate attempt to involve all the participants in the past, so that if he was afraid to act rashly, the person behind the scenes would definitely get more time.
So after the suspicion of the eighth generation was reduced, the suspicion of Xiang Tianming of Overlord Valley increased dramatically.
Because this person was the first person to rebel, and dared to kill the first official, and the one he killed was the lord of a state, a frontier official.
Now Xiang Tianming is under the greatest pressure, and he is most afraid that the court will concentrate its firepower on him.
Dou Changsheng thought about it, and it is possible that someone might fish in troubled waters and deliberately frame Xiang Tianming.
However, Dou Changsheng did not care much about this, because Xiang Tianming rebelled and must be killed.
If someone behind the scenes is looking for a scapegoat, then the other party will undoubtedly be very successful, because Dou Changsheng does not intend to investigate any headless cases, but directly intends to cut the Gordian knot.
Directly regard Xiang Tianming as the murderer, and then kill him.
The other party would naturally not continue to attack, after all, the real murderer has come to light, successfully diverting his attention.
But if more people die, wouldn't it prove that Xiang Tianming is not the murderer?
After being used once, Dou Changsheng naturally would not give up, and after getting rid of Xiang Tianming, he started to attack him.
Dou Changsheng wanted to kill two at a time.
And the confidence?
Of course it was the system task.
For this kind of investigation, as long as the system task is started, most of the fog will be broken, and it is very simple to find the real murderer, so Dou Changsheng did not kill him, but chose Xiang Tianming.
It is because he wants the other party to think that the plan is successful, so he relaxes his vigilance and finally gives him a surprise.
The greatest despair of a person is to have gained hope.
This kind of revenge is worthy of him for harming himself.
Dou Changsheng sorted out the matter and thought that it was Xiang Tianming. This was a good thing.
Dou Changsheng told Wu Junyi his idea and finally ordered: "You go and complete this task."
"The case is solved. The real murderer is Xiang Tianming."
Wu Junyi nodded and left.
Dou Changsheng looked at the other person's back and began to think about his own brother Zhao.
It was the one who turned Miao Shenwu into a ground-level wonder.
The possibility of this person is not low. After all, the other party is a ground-level wonder, and the method of enhancing strength is very strange, that is, killing people.
Kill those who have practiced his skills.
Zhao Xuanyi cannot actively spread the skills, but he was willing to be a thug at the beginning. There must be many people willing to support him. As long as there are more people who are interested, it is inevitable that Zhao Xuanyi will be fattened up, and it is not impossible that he is too fat and out of control.
After all, you can only control yourself, not others.
You want to control the scale, but others don't. How many people would do such a strong man as a dog, seeking benefits and slaughtering enemies?
Dou Changsheng was unwilling to continue dealing with him because he saw the danger of this brother Zhao.
You should know that the other party is a living wonder with extraordinary potential. Although it is very difficult to be promoted to a wonder of the heavenly way, there is still hope.
If you think about it more, maybe some immortals also value the other party.
Willing to lend a helping hand and make it a wonder of the heavenly way.
These are all things that cannot be said.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
What?
I, Xiang Tianming, haven't taken any action yet?
I'm already the murderer?
Xiang Tianming's clone looked unhappy at this moment.
I thought it was a good thing that someone took action, but I never expected that Dou Changsheng was so unethical and directly framed me.
Declaring himself the murderer, this would make the imperial capital hate him, and then attack him in the name of revenge. Xiang Tianming saw through it at a glance, but he was not the real murderer, right?
Xiang Tianming also knew that the real murderer would definitely not continue to commit crimes. The other party was just holding back Dou Changsheng, and now the goal was successful.
Xiang Tianming sneered.
Qingxuan Sect.
Do you think I can't see it's you?
Kill Bawang Valley, ascend to the position of the head of the Nine Sects, take charge of the righteous way, and then hold back Dou Changsheng, killing two birds with one stone. You want to kill two birds with one stone, but you don't even look at your teeth.
Don't you know that there are still reports in the world?
Xiang Tianming no longer has the heart to make trouble, but wants to help the court investigate the real murderer and kill Qingxuan Sect.
This is not a crisis, it can be turned into an opportunity.
Just like the other party pitted himself, Qingxuan Sect is not small, enough to hold back Dou Changsheng.
No matter how many mistakes, they are all Qingyun's fault.
As for whether it is Qingxuan Sect?
That's not important.
Xiang Tianming thinks so anyway.
