"Ningzhou Governor? Guard Chief? If you don't stay well in Ningzhou, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you know that the places where seals are posted are strategically located for military strategists? Come here!"
Di Renjie took out a token and said calmly: "No need to call, Mr. Di is carrying the holy edict and is here to investigate the case!"
"Investigating the case?"
Zhou Min couldn't help but sneer: "We have been investigating this place for a long time but there is no progress. How are you going to investigate the case? Do you think you are more powerful than dozens of people from the Criminal Department?"
Di Renjie came over in advance because he was anxious. The notification was still on the way. This also caused Zhou Min to not receive the message. He was a little unconvinced.
Di Renjie walked towards Zhou Min with a faint smile.
"Regardless of whether there is any doubt, it's good that this token is real. Now that I'm here, Di has something to ask you."
Having said this, Di Renjie's eyes flashed, he stared at Zhou Min and asked:
"Master Shangshu, you have made no progress in your investigation for so long. Is it because there are no clues, or is it because... the person who committed the crime is related to you?"
Zhou Min trembled inwardly, but managed his expression very well, and said with a smile: "Of course it's because there are no clues. Do you think that as the Minister of Punishment of the Ministry of Punishment, you can still know the law and break the law? Conceal it or report it?"
"Oh~~I see." Di Renjie walked out slowly.
"The Holy One has decreed that Lord Shangshu should work with Mr. Di to solve the case. I need to know who Zhao Jinnan has been in contact with and where he has been."
"I believe that Lord Shangshu is ready. I will trouble you next. If you still have any questions, you can ask His Majesty in person!"
After the words fell, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang walked out.
Li Yuanfang took a deep look at Zhou Min, wondering if it was an illusion. He seemed to have felt a trace of killing intent just now, and it was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to sense it.
Zhou Min slowly turned around and stared at the backs of the two people as they left.
"Somebody come!"
Suddenly several companions came outside the door.
Zhou Min said expressionlessly: "Target all the matters concerning the investigation of Zhao Jinnan and hand them over to the two people who just went out."
"yes!"
After giving the instructions, Zhou Min got up and left, found a secluded place, took out a homing pigeon and let it fly.
At Yuan Tiangang's residence, a homing pigeon landed on the back of Li Yunxiao's hand.
Opening the envelope, a line of words came into view.
[Things have changed. Your Majesty has sent another person to investigate the case. His name is Di Renjie, and Li Yuanfang is the leader. Do you want to kill him? 】
"Haha, I have been so busy that I forgot that there is a person like you."
"Well, let's see what a genius this Wenquxing is! Is he the person he imagined?"
Li Yunxiao slowly stood up and walked down the mountain.
....
Inside the sky tower.
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang sat among them and ordered a lot of delicious dishes.
"Yuan Fang, how do you see?"
"What do you think?"
"What do you think about this matter, what are your thoughts?"
Li Yuanfang ate a piece of barbecue and replied: "Zhao Jinnan Courtyard is located in Wannian County, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles around. If there is a fight, there is no reason why they can't hear it, unless the other party solves it very quickly, making people think it is an auditory hallucination."
"Judging from the extent of the fight, it is difficult to determine their strength, but it is definitely not as simple as the star level. At least the perpetrator's strength will be at Xiaotian level or above."
"Yes, it's pretty much what I guessed, but this person has only been in court for a month. Do you know who has such a big feud with him?"
Li Yuanfang smiled lightly and said: "You are joking, sir. I don't know where to go. But maybe it's not true for Daqiu. I heard that the person who came here must have a clear purpose and only killed Zhao Jinnan. Maybe he annoyed some people or... He knew something about certain people, so he caused trouble and was eliminated in the middle of the night."
Di Renjie nodded.
At this time, a book was placed in front of him by someone who was trotting over.
"Master Di, this is what you want. All the investigation and interview records are in it." After the words fell, the man stood aside.
Di Renjie waved his hand, and the man turned and left.
"Let's see what they found out."
Di Renjie picked up the book and started to read.
After a while, he couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange. There are more than twenty servants, but no one saw the assassin. It's so strange..."
"What's weird about this? A group of people surround one person, kill him and then leave. What can ordinary people like them see clearly?"
"No, that's not what I'm referring to. Yuan Fang, let me ask you, if you want revenge or revenge, what will you do?"
"Of course there are grievances and vengeance."
"Then how come it is such a coincidence that none of the slaves in the courtyard heard any sound? Since you are a martial artist, you should know that there are heavy traces of fighting in the courtyard. It is impossible that there is no movement at all."
Li Yuanfang frowned slightly: "Hi~~! Are you saying that some of those servants deliberately concealed it?" At this point, Li Yuanfang was suddenly stunned.
"No way. Could it be that all the slaves told lies?"
"possible."
Li Yuanfang suddenly shook his head: "That's not right. If so, it proves that that person is not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Is there something fishy going on?"
Di Renjie nodded and couldn't help but sighed: "You finally got it right. A year ago, three ministers who cared about life, headed by Changsun Wuji, the elder of the three dynasties, monopolized the government affairs."
"Although most of the rights have been taken back now, it is because His Majesty is concerned about his feelings and does not want to fight with him. After all, he is His Majesty's biological uncle."
"According to my observation, our new queen seems to be interested in recruiting people to serve as officials in the court. She is expected to have a big goal, but I don't know whether this is His Majesty's will or the Queen's."
Li Yuanfang murmured: "Are you saying that Changsun Wuji did this? He was afraid that the Queen or His Majesty would bring in too many officials and swallow up his remaining rights, so he only killed that person and did not involve the slaves?"
Having said this, he shook his head again: "I don't think so. Think about it, now that the world is at peace and Changsun Wuji's rights no longer threaten His Majesty and the Queen, why would you involve yourself in this matter? Is it still so obvious?"
"Besides, how can any murderer in the world be so anxious to send people over to investigate the case? Isn't that making himself uncomfortable?"
Di Renjie frowned slightly and shook his head.
"The world is so vast, full of wonders. You only see the calm water on the surface, but you don't know the tidal abyss underneath. I have a vague feeling that when we come to Chang'an this time, we will never be able to escape easily."
"After all, when we stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into us."
Li Yuanfang vowed: "Don't worry, as long as your subordinates are here, no one will hurt you!"
Di Renjie sneered and suddenly called the waiter.
"Please call the boss here."
The waiter asked doubtfully: "But the food is not to your liking? If so, I can change it for you. This is our rule in Xiaolou. You will definitely be satisfied."
"No, no, no, the food is very good. I just want to ask your boss about something, please excuse me."
The waiter waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble."
After the words fell, within a moment, Se Yunchou twisted his waist and walked out.
"Hey, you two are so handsome. It's really an honor for me, Xiaolou. I'm the boss here. Are you looking for me?"
Di Renjie smiled and said, "I'm looking for you. Judging from the boss's appearance, you must not be a local, right?"
