Chapter 172 The True Purpose of the Six Gates

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Six Gates are not a good place to go.

You should know that the Six Gates manages all the major criminal cases of the Li Tang Dynasty. If it is just an ordinary homicide case, it is not qualified to be included in the Six Gates' files.

In other words.

In modern times, the Six Gates are a bit like the national security department, but they are responsible for various difficult and strange cases, and their status is quite high.

This time Jia She was attacked in Ningguo Mansion. It is said that the attacker was the famous flower-stealing thief Tian Boguang.

Just now, this case was included in the investigation of the Six Gates.

Lin Chen came to the Six Gates, but he was calm and relaxed, without any nervousness. He was still leisurely and didn't forget to ask Zhuge Shenhou for a cup of tea.

He still remembered that the old man was worried about the struggle in the court and threw the case of the granary theft to himself.

From a certain perspective, Zhuge Shenhou owed him a favor.

Who would have thought

Before the tea was served, Wuqing placed a list of files in front of Lin Chen.

Hmm?

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and picked up a file to read.

This file contained clues obtained by the Six Gates from the search of Jia She's courtyard that day.

"Two people left handprints on the left door and window sill, suspected to be a man and a woman."

"There were footprints under the flowerbed by the side window. It was reported that they were left by the servant of the Jia Mansion when watering the trees that day."

"Fragments of clothing suspected to be those of Tian Boguang were found on the rocks in the courtyard of Marquis Jia En."

It has to be said.

These files collected by the Six Gates opened Lin Chen's eyes.

I never thought that in this ancient world, there was such a detailed evidence collection process.

But... this is not enough!

Immediately, Lin Chen looked at Zhuge Shenhou with a bad tone.

"What? Could it be that the Six Gates suspected that Jia Enhou's injury was related to me?!"

Zhuge Shenhou was indeed an old fox. He took a sip of tea without changing his expression and chose to play deaf and dumb.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry, and his eyes swept over the four famous detectives led by Wuqing.

As for Di Pangpang, he was watching the nose and the heart at this time, pretending to be an outsider.

The reason was very simple.

As an official of the Dali Temple who was seconded to participate in this case, he was an insignificant little character.

At the same time, the Six Gates and the Dali Temple had disliked each other in the past.

Today, the Six Gates pointed their spearheads directly at the fourth-rank military officer in the court, and it was natural to be defeated.

From Di Renjie's wise eyes, it was difficult to be sure that General Lin in front of him might be related to the Jia She case.

Indeed, even Wuqing suspected Lin Chen because of the traces at the scene.

That night, in addition to Tian Boguang who went to Jia She's courtyard, there was another martial arts master.

The two even had a conflict.

Wuqing found out through investigation.

In addition to the guards, the Jia Mansion was visited by Lin Chen, an outsider, during that period.

It is said that Lin Chenjia is a martial arts master who once fought against thousands of White Lotus thieves alone, killing them all in blood. He is an unparalleled killer!

This is of course some unrealistic flattery, illogical, but it was spread by some people in the capital with details, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Wuqing heard this rumor and felt that although it was exaggerated, Lin Chen's martial arts skills must be extraordinary.

"What a joke."

Hearing Wuqing say this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh, and his tone was also a little impatient. "Just these few words, you want to convict this general?!"

"Of course it's more than that!"

Wuqing heard the sarcasm in Lin Chen's words, and immediately got a little angry, like a big cat that was provoked and angered, quite cute.

Just when she wanted to refute, Zhuge Shenhou stretched out his hand to signal Wuqing not to continue.

"Okay!"

Zhuge Shenhou smiled and talked about the real reason for inviting Lin Chen here this time.

"Please don't misunderstand, General Lin. It's like this..."

So.

The case of Marquis Jia En is not the focus.

The focus is Tian Boguang!

The nobles in the capital don't know Fanfan. Who doesn't have an unmarried daughter?

If such a rapist humiliates their reputation, it will be a disgrace!

Although Jia She was unlucky this time, the Jia family was ridiculed.

But among the rumors outside, there are many ridicules and vulgar words about the female members of the Jia family.

This is extremely damaging to the reputation of the daughters, and may even cause criticism when the female members of the Jia family get married in the future!

Because of this, many nobles began to make trouble for the Six Gates, asking them to arrest Tian Boguang as soon as possible!

However, the name of Wanli Duxing is not blown.

This Tian Boguang is very good at light work and acts cautiously.

Recently, he has not appeared in the capital. It seems that he plans to wait until this storm is over.

If so, it's fine.

Among the difficult cases handled by the Six Gates, Tian Boguang is not outstanding.

But!

A recent incident forced the Six Gates to devote a lot of energy to it, leaving them no time to care about Tian Boguang's affairs.

"General Lin, do you know the name of the Beggars' Gang?" Zhuge Shenhou said in a slightly depressed tone.

"Bag Beggars' Gang?"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, motioning him to continue.

He naturally knew about the Beggars' Gang.

He had dealt with the Beggars' Gang in Chicang County when he was exterminating the White Lotus Sect.

Its leader was also a famous hero, Qiao Feng!

I wonder if Qiao Feng's life was still miserable under this world background.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind, but his face did not change much.

According to Zhuge Shenhou.

The former leader of the Beggars' Gang was suspected to have died at the hands of Murong Fu, a famous Jiangnan martial arts master!

Qiao Feng, who succeeded the gang leader, planned to make it clear to Murong Fu.

However, Murong Fu, who has been active in Jiangnan, has no news recently and his whereabouts are unknown.

In the eyes of the Budai Beggar Clan, this is a sign of guilty conscience.

If so, things will stop.

Who would have thought that in Jiangnan and other places, a group of Jianghu forces in the name of Murong Fu would appear out of nowhere, accusing the Budai Beggar Gang of being too arrogant and not taking them seriously.

All in all, this thing sounds quite magical.

In any case, they were just a bunch of martial arts people of the highest rank, doing evil in the name of Murong Fu.

The people in the Budai Beggar Clan were all dumbfounded, wondering where did you come from?

Finally, someone released the news that Murong Fu had appeared in the capital.

Then a magical scene appeared.

A large number of martial arts people began to rush to the capital, seemingly wanting to watch Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng compete.

Don't underestimate the thoughts of Jianghu people.

The six doors that heard the news felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

People in the martial arts world are used to being undisciplined.

If he is allowed to cause trouble in the capital, the six gates will definitely be impeached by the censor.

So there is no time for him to take care of the six doors?

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with thoughtfulness.

"So the Lord God invites me to be...?"

Lin Chen pretended to say "please" and emphasized his tone to express his dissatisfaction.

When Zhuge Shenhou heard this, his old fox-like eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and refilled Lin Chen's tea as an apology.

When Lin Chen saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Whatever.

This Zhuge Shenhou is not a simple person, let’s wait and see first.
