When Xue Gui reported the discovery of the remnants of the on-site magic to Ma Xuanlin, it basically meant that all the main persons in charge of the Ministry of Punishment knew about it.
The Ministry of Justice is leaking from all sides. Although the people inside often smile at each other, they all have their own plans in mind. Now that the "big test" is coming to an end, who doesn't want to choose a team?
As a result, this very important and suspicious point of the case was spread out from all the mouths that should not have opened their mouths.
Of course, these words would not be heard in the marketplace, but almost everyone in the top circles of the imperial city knew that the murder of King Jing was most likely the work of five evil monks, and these suspected evil monks were identified as the murderers. There is one from the Lingwang Mansion.
Brother-killing itself is not a glorious thing, and now he is suspected of being a "culprit of evil monks". It has to be said that the good situation of the Spirit King has once again been reversed. Even Shou Wang Lin, who just wanted to temporarily unite with the Spirit King, had to take three steps back and never mentioned the word alliance.
Evil monk! This dirty thing that the whole country avoids, if he is really labeled as "trailing evil monks", then the Spirit King will be finished.
The news changes three times a day, and for the Spirit King, the ups and downs are like swinging on a swing.
First, he was besieged by King Jing because of the death of King Lu; then he fought back with all his might, defeating King Jin who was considered the strongest in terms of force despite the disapproval of everyone, and opened a gap in the desperate situation; and then because of Xuan A file handed over by the Qing guards backhandedly sued King Jing to the Ministry of Justice and the Royal Ancestral Hall for "treason", which suddenly reversed the disadvantageous situation and gained considerable initiative.
But before the Spirit King could be happy for two days, his mood hit rock bottom. King Jing is dead, and all clues point to King Ling, and the Ministry of Punishment also links him to the evil monks.
How can this... Spirit King's anger be described?
It was already noon on August 12th when Shen Hao received the news that "there may be evil monks under the command of King Ling".
"Is this... Will the Spirit King be so angry that he gives away the rest of his palace? Haha, what is this called? It's so fast! Tsk, tsk, when it comes to sophistication, Yang Wenguang is really good at adapting to the situation. So fast and so cruel, I'm afraid the Spirit King can only vent his anger on Yueying Tower now, right? And even if he wants to take revenge, he has to wait until the "big test" is completed and won, otherwise he can only be taken advantage of.
Are people from the Major Case Division still handling this case? "
Standing in front of Shen Hao was Wang Jian, also with a smile on his face, and replied: "Your Excellency, it is indeed the Major Case Department that is responsible for the investigation. When I just replied to the message, I mentioned that the chief officer of the Major Case Department, Xue Gui, was We are collecting clues at the crime scene."
"Haha, Xue Gui is also unlucky. He was responsible for investigating the deaths of several princes. In the end, it was a mess. Ma Xuanlin could not protect him in the end. Even Ma Xuanlin himself was afraid that life would be difficult. Once the "big exam" is over , the Ministry of Punishment will also follow suit."
Shen Hao saw these things clearly. Not to mention Xue Gui, Ma Xuanlin might even be sacrificed to the flag. There is also the same trouble with Ye Lansheng, the left prime minister who deliberately concealed himself during this period. The civil service group is afraid that there will be a "big earthquake" in the future.
"But the most unlucky one is the Spirit King. This time he probably has no tricks to play and can only compete head-on with the other three princes. Maybe the results of this "big test" will be released this month or next month. You tell the spies in the imperial city to cheer up and keep a close eye, and report any trouble immediately."
"Yes, my subordinates must keep their eyes open and never make mistakes."
Shen Hao knew that Wang Jian was very busy recently. Under the chaotic situation, there is a "major examination" of the royal family at home, a national war and military affairs outside, and even the country's money and food shortages are already spreading. It is said that it will enter the second stage at the end of this month. By then, even ordinary people will experience the impact of war on their lives. bring huge obstacles.
But these chaotic situations are definitely a golden opportunity for intelligence agencies. Today's black water can be said to be blooming in all directions, and the area covered has long exceeded the boundaries of Jingxi. There were Heishui spies operating in all the major cities within the Jingji Dynasty.
It's just that under the current situation, Blackwater's focus is still on the Imperial City and the City of Wasted Death.
And the expansion of power not only brings "more people", but also the improvement and sorting out of a system, all densely packed with things. Although Wang Jian only needs to control the general direction now, he is also so busy that he wants to split one person into two.
"I heard that your family has arranged a marriage for you? Are you planning to get married soon?" Heishui is not the only one who has news about Shen Hao. Blackwater is the secret channel of information for Black Flag Camp, while the bright side is inherited from Xuanqing Guard. Especially internally, Shen Hao still has many eyes and ears.
What's more, Wang Jian is his number one confidant, and things in his private life are sometimes not trivial. Shen Hao should be concerned about both public and private affairs.
"Ah? I'm scared, sir. I'm sorry, sir. My family has indeed arranged a marriage for me. The date has been set, and it will be on the 28th of this month. I thought I would ask you for leave in two days. I'll make you laugh, sir." Wang Jian smiled and bowed. Wang Jian is not shameless in this regard, on the contrary, he is rather shy.
The main reason was that Wang Jian felt that Lord Shen was still single even though he was older than him, so it was hard for him to speak in front of Lord Shen after getting married.
In fact, according to the standards of this world, people of Wang Jian's age are already considered to be extremely late in marriage. Generally, men from ordinary families basically get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen. And someone like Shen Hao who is over thirty and has not yet gotten married is considered a "bad guy that no one wants".
Of course, no one in the dignified Black Flag Battalion commander would dare to say that he is a scumbag. There are many people who want to follow the trend. However, Master Shen has a reputation of being too vicious and busy, so no one dares to introduce him to a blind date.
Shen Hao himself didn't think there was anything wrong with being alone. Besides, he had a fox girl at home and a goblin who was having an affair with him in Hong'en Courtyard. He was not in a hurry about marriage or anything like that. I have never seen Bai Changqing, who is over seventy, still able to wrestle with a couple. He, Shen Haoyuan, a monk in the Dan Realm, can still fight ten with one even if he is sixty or seventy years old.
"Do you have an invitation? Send me one. If not, I will go directly to your Wang family to ask for a drink. You won't be unwelcome, right?" Shen Hao laughed. To be honest, when he heard that Wang Jian was getting married, he immediately asked his housekeeper Lao Hu to prepare generous gifts, but he did not receive the invitation. He understood Wang Jian's concerns, so he expressed his feelings directly.
Wang Jian quickly bowed and said: "It will be an honor for my Wang family if you can come, and my subordinates will be waiting for you!"
