Chapter 365: I Didn’t Disappoint Mr. Dou, the Situation Really Got Out of Control
Zhao Tingzhi disappeared again.
This was the news obtained on the third day after Dou Changsheng gave the order.
Dou Changsheng was not too anxious to pull the Heart Demon King out of the imperial capital. Instead, he trusted professionals to solve the problem. Zhao Tingzhi came forward and started the investigation. Finally, he locked the Heart Demon King and then he took action to catch him.
In Dou Changsheng's view, this was not a sure thing, but at least there was a very high probability.
Zhao Tingzhi was entrusted with an important task and believed that he could establish Qigong.
Unexpectedly, after only two days, he gave himself a big surprise on the third day.
Zhao Tingzhi, who had the support of the court and could mobilize countless strong men from the six gates of the imperial capital, successfully disappeared again.
This made Dou Changsheng feel surprised, shocked, and unbelievable. All kinds of emotions emerged one by one.
This person had a lesson from the past, but he did not learn any lessons and still did such a stupid thing. If it were me, as the master of the six gates, I would definitely bring three or five strong men with me when I traveled.
Among them, at least one must be in the Heaven Realm, and the rest must be at least in the Soul Realm, and they must be equipped with a first-grade magic weapon. I dare not say that everyone has a first-grade magic weapon, but at least two people have it. Including Zhao Tingzhi himself, there are four people in the Heaven Realm.
Such a powerful lineup cannot be said to be able to eliminate the enemy, but at least it can save lives and buy some time for itself, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
This is still a conservative estimate. If Zhao Tingzhi is a little obsessed, this combat power can be increased. No matter how you look at it, the probability of disappearance is very low, but reality is so magical that this thing happened.
Dou Changsheng sighed, looked at Wu Junyi who was hurriedly delivering the message to him, and finally asked: "Who do you think is the best person to entrust this matter to?"
Wu Junyi pondered for a moment, then spoke: "Lord Zhao is already the master of the Six Gates, and his own strength is not weak. The enemy's strength can be imagined to make Lord Zhao disappear so quickly. Ordinary people are definitely not capable of it."
"In my opinion, only Lord Xiao is suitable."
This Lord Xiao is Xiao Wangzhi.
Zhao Tingzhi is missing, so ordinary people in the Heavenly Man Realm are naturally not suitable.
Only people who are stronger than ordinary people in the Heavenly Man Realm, and Xiao Wangzhi, who controls the semi-immortal weapon, the Innate Invisible Sword, is a very suitable candidate.
Dou Changsheng thought about it and found that this person was not suitable.
Xiao Wangzhi was also busy. Don't look at the eradication of the Overlord Valley, the world was shocked, and countless ambitious people disappeared for a while, but that was just an appearance. They just hid deeper, did not openly rebel, and began to seize power secretly.
As long as they don't rebel openly, you can't tell whether they have evil intentions.
After all, fighting for power, taking bribes, bribing superiors, and seeking official positions are all basic operations. Everyone does this, and you can't tell whether this person is loyal or treacherous.
You must know that although many people fight for power and do all kinds of bad things, they really have no intention of rebelling.
Xiao Wangzhi is suppressing these people with ulterior motives. To be frank, most of the power of the court is now used on this. Of course, the most important thing is that this is their own task and they must have a sense of participation.
Now Zhao Tingzhi is missing, but this trick of throwing a stone to test the water is very successful. The disappearance of a heavenly realm must have left clues. As long as we start investigating along the clues, we can dig out the inner demon king.
Dou Changsheng had planned to wait a little longer, but now he couldn't wait any longer, so he said to Wu Junyi: "You lead the way yourself, and we will go to the place where Zhao Tingzhi disappeared."
Wu Junyi responded, and then led the way himself. Dou Changsheng did not go alone with Wu Junyi. After knowing that there was danger, of course he brought all the people with him, including the Laughing Monk and the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord.
Dou Changsheng had the Emperor's Sword hanging around his waist, and the Vajra Pestle was also wrapped in red cloth and placed in a treasure box, which was carried by Wu Junyi. At the critical moment, he could not only call on the power of Emperor Taizu, but also use the Emperor's Sword to let the Laughing Monk use the Vajra Pestle.
With such a lineup, Dou Changsheng didn't believe anything would happen.
It can be said that for the safety of his life, he was armed to the teeth.
The Thousand-Handed Evil Lord, who left soon, appeared again, and this one looked at Dou Changsheng with displeasure.
After all, within a short period of time, being summoned again and again would make no one happy, especially the identity of the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord. Now he was just expressing his dissatisfaction to Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng simply pretended not to see such a result.
The group soon came to the south of the imperial capital. Dou Changsheng looked at the land in the south of the city, which was considered a slum.
The imperial capital is rich in the north and poor in the south. A large number of rich people gather in the north of the city. Most of the people in the south of the city live in civilians. Although this is the imperial capital, not everyone has money. No matter what time it is, the poor still occupy the majority.
These people are locals in the imperial capital. They have their own properties, which can still survive, but there are still many outsiders. They gather together and form a slum.
This slum is the destination of most outsiders. When they earn money, they will move away on their own.
But the imperial capital dream is destined to be in vain. After coming to this slum, it is impossible for 99% of people to get out.
Dou Changsheng had never been to this place. This was his first time in the imperial capital, so he went to the most prosperous place. Not to mention the south of the city, even the north of the city was not up to standard.
This is just a place for ordinary people. The real powerful people gather in the east and west of the city.
There are either rich or noble people, including big businessmen, top three warriors, princes and nobles, and high-ranking officials of aristocratic families.
The Heart Demon King began to erode people's hearts and control some people. These outsiders are most suitable. No matter when, the poor people in the slums are the easiest to attack. They are easily deceived by a vague hope.
Even if they die, it will not have any impact. Unlike the locals of the imperial capital, they have many relatives. If something really happens, they will definitely make a fuss and attract the attention of the government.
So this is also the place with the worst public security in the imperial capital and frequent bloodshed.
Wu Junyi quickly led everyone to an alley. Now there were six-door constables guarding outside the alley. There were no fewer people. When they saw Dou Changsheng coming, they all began to salute. Finally, Wu Junyi pointed to the alley and said, "Lord Zhao went here to investigate and then disappeared."
"The scene has been repeatedly inspected. There are no traces of fighting here. Lord Zhao disappeared again."
This word "again" is very spiritual.
Because last time, this Lord Zhao also disappeared in a similar way.
Two such incidents happened successively. For Dou Changsheng, this Zhao Tingzhi was completely useless and there was no value in continuing to train him, because no one wanted to have a subordinate who would disappear again next time.
It's time to start looking for the next master of the six doors. Dou Changsheng didn't have a suitable candidate in his mind. This position is very critical. There will definitely be more things happening next, so it can be handed over to Xiao Wangzhi.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind. Although Xiao Wangzhi's status was not low, he had never been honored. With Xiao Wangzhi's qualifications, he could directly ascend to heaven and become the master of the Six Gates. This was completely sufficient.
Let Xiao Wangzhi obtain the power of the Six Gates to continue to suppress potential ambitious people, which was also in line with the obligations of the Six Gates.
It was really difficult.
Daqian, this broken ship, was simply leaking everywhere, and there were too many things to deal with by himself.
This was also his own fault. After all, this was a step to heaven. Daqian was not opened up by himself, so there was no team dedicated to him. Today's small team has too little experience and too many components. There is no trust basis, so of course it is not suitable for use.
After taking a look at the scene, Dou Changsheng knew that this was definitely not the crime scene.
Unless Zhao Tingzhi rebelled, how could a powerful person in the Heavenly Realm be killed and captured quietly.
Only immortals can do it, or immortal weapons can do it.
When an immortal weapon is used, there will definitely be fluctuations, and the immortals of the time will definitely react. Even if I have recently started to refine the Emperor's Sword, I can use it to gain insight into the imperial capital.
This is something that other immortal weapons cannot do. The Vajra Pestle certainly cannot do it, but the Emperor's Sword can do it because the Emperor's Sword is an imperial immortal weapon. For the imperial capital that it controls, the Emperor's Sword has a monitoring function. In addition, with its own huge field of unity between heaven and man, it can detect the power of immortal weapons.
Wu Junyi naturally discovered what Dou Changsheng could judge, and he spoke directly: "At that time, Lord Zhao came alone. The last message sent to the Six Gates was this. People nearby were also visited, and some people could prove that they saw Lord Zhao coming here at that time."
Dou Changsheng looked around and looked at this shabby area. He didn't expect that the imperial capital was so glamorous, but there was such a shabby place. Finally, he gave an order and said: "Lord Zhao disappeared because of some kind of poison."
"I believe that the poison has spread at this time. You go to block the four directions and let these people start to draw some blood from each household, and then mark their names and detailed addresses, and finally hand them over to the imperial physician."
"Start to test whether they are poisoned, and prepare a rescue method as soon as possible."
How to draw blood, for the superiors, there are too many ways, just make up a reason.
Wu Junyi did not question it, but responded directly and started to do it.
Dou Changsheng planned to test the blood here first, but he didn't have any hope in his heart. The Heart Demon King dared to let Zhao Tingzhi disappear here, so the possibility of there being clues here was very small.
However, the spread of the poison was a good reason. There was no poison nearby, so it would be better to expand the scope directly.
In order to complete a blue reward for himself, what does it matter if the imperial capital works harder?
Anyway, this is for them to eliminate hidden dangers and eliminate a potential threat of death. As for wasting the court's money, that is even more of a problem. Dou Changsheng never forgot one thing from beginning to end. The existence of Daqian is to help him practice, not the other way around, and he has to sacrifice for Daqian.
If the government executes it, the efficiency will definitely be a problem. For this area nearby, it will take at least one day, or even less. But Wu Junyi led the team personally, and it took less than an hour to complete what Dou Changsheng had told him.
The blood has been delivered to the imperial physician, and the imperial physicians began to test it.
They are the ones in the open, and the one who is really responsible is Qianshou Xiezun.
This one has been in contact with the Blood God, and he is an evil god from outside the domain, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
Drawing blood can mobilize many good detectives, but there are not so many imperial doctors, so this step is not very efficient. On the contrary, the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord is very efficient. Tentacles continue to extend from behind, waving their claws and teeth. As long as the tentacles are placed before the blood is placed, a test has been completed.
Looking at the busy people, Zhao Tingzhi, this waste, has brought everything back to the starting point.
Soon, the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord finished, while many imperial doctors were still busy. The Thousand-Handed Evil Lord came closer and whispered to Dou Changsheng: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you won the first prize."
"I'm afraid you won 500 million directly in this lottery."
"Of course, Your Highness may not understand this sentence. This is a statement from a world named after science."
The Thousand-Handed Evil Lord didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point: "All these people have been checked out to have the aura of the Blood God."
"This aura is very weak. Even if they stand in front of me, I can't detect it, even if they bleed. Yes, only by careful and repeated inspection can we see through the disguise. "
"So next, I want to verify one thing."
Qian Shou Xie Zun took a few steps, looked at the soldiers standing outside the door, and asked directly: "Who among you is a local of the imperial capital?"
Qian Shou Xie Zun did not wait for them to answer, and shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is too troublesome."
"It's better to be direct."
Tentacles began to stretch out, directly grabbing a soldier, letting the soldier resist and struggle. In front of Qian Shou Xie Zun, everything was weak and powerless. The squirming tentacles directly pierced their wrists.
After the blood began to overflow, it was directly swallowed by the tentacles of Qian Shou Xie Zun, and then the soldiers were thrown out by Qian Shou Xie Zun. Hundreds of people fell to the ground. Seeing this, other soldiers began to gather continuously, but were stopped by Dou Changsheng, who raised his hand and looked at Qian Shou Xie Zun.
Thousand-handed Evil Lord sneered and said, "It's just as I expected."
Pointing at a few of them, he said, "These people all have the aura of the Blood God. I believe they must be from the locals of the imperial capital."
"And since they can serve as soldiers here and are specifically responsible for protecting His Highness, their family background must be extraordinary. If even they have problems, I'm afraid that the imperial capital will have problems."
When Thousand-handed Evil Lord spoke, Dou Changsheng had already expected it.
But he still had to verify it. He looked at Wu Junyi. Wu Junyi left in a hurry. He didn't ask these soldiers about their origins at all, but directly retrieved their origin information.
After Wu Junyi returned, he not only brought the information, but also brought some blood.
While checking, Thousand-handed Evil Lord said, "Locals have problems, and just now it was a slum, and most of the people tested were outsiders."
"They also have problems."
"The situation is very serious."
