With a bang, Jiang Cheng slapped a thick file on the table and closed it. He had just carefully read the contents of this file twice, and his heart was filled with horror.
Although every word in the dossier is as sharp as a knife and is well-founded and accompanied by some empirical evidence, in the end most of it is still speculation and speculation. No matter how high the possibility is, Jiang Cheng still felt that it was impossible without direct evidence. Confidence.
"you sure?!"
Shen Hao, who was standing in front of Jiang Cheng, stood with his hands tied. When he heard Jiang Cheng's question, he quickly responded politely. Said: "Sir, every word above is the result of secret verification by my subordinates through the old channels of Heishui and Black Flag Camp. Xue Gui has problems both in his background and resume.
If the origin is the speculation or conjecture of his subordinates, then the cases that he later handled in Helin City that made great contributions cannot be explained by one or two "coincidences".
Therefore, combined with the current signs in the imperial city, my subordinates have reason to believe that Xue Gui is likely to have a blood relationship with Jin Wang Yang Wenguang. And the reason he has been lurking in the Jingjiu Dynasty for many years is to cooperate with the King of Jin to exact revenge on His Majesty or the Jingjiu Dynasty, disrupting the "Grand Examination" and finally forming a special situation so that Xue Gui can ascend to the throne! "
Shen Hao's words were as restrained as possible. But the deep cold revealed in the words still made Jiang Cheng subconsciously tighten his hands on the table.
Given Jiang Cheng's experience, he was still frightened by the "plan" mentioned by Shen Hao in the file. Because he doesn't need to think carefully, he can confirm that the "plan" in it is indeed very feasible by thinking about the words in this file. Especially considering the events currently happening in the imperial city and the doubts about Xue Gui.
What really made Jiang Cheng feel anxious was what Shen Hao said about Xue Gui's achievements in Helin City.
Murder, evil supplies, evil spirits, every major case can make people applaud when viewed individually. But when you list them together and sift out the commonalities, you can find that all the major cases solved by Xue Gui have the shadow of evil monks, and in the end, all of them were solved by Xue Gui and the leader of the thief was killed.
The case of the evil monk is considered a major case in the Xuanqing Guard. The local government's manpower is far inferior to that of the Xuanqing Guard. It must be a great achievement. The Ministry of Punishment must have repeatedly touted it, and Xue Gui has been promoted more and more. The higher.
But are evil monks really so easy to deal with? Is it really that easy to get caught?
Not to mention, as far as Shen Hao is concerned, during the ten years he lived and died in Xuanqing Guard, he could actually count the number of evil monks being captured with his own eyes on one hand, and there were several times when he almost lost his life. .
How much effort did pseudo-evil cultivators like Ma Sankui go through in circles later? How much manpower and material resources did it take to capture him alive?
Xue Gui? Why should he?
Xue Gui even described evil monks as idiots in his brief introductions to major cases. Even if this is different from the real dossier, it can't be that much different, right? The only explanation is that the evil monks who were killed by Xue Gui in the complete file were really just like idiots.
In other places and at other times, no one would think much about this kind of situation. At worst, even if Xue Gui is lucky, he always bumps into evil monks who look like idiots, right?
But now with Shen Hao's suspicion, Xue Gui's great achievements over the years can have a new explanation: giving away people, giving credit, and supporting him.
This series of actions was definitely inappropriate for Xue Gui, the dignified head of the Major Case Department of the Criminal Ministry, but now it seems so weird and appropriate.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said harshly: "In the end, these things are all your speculations. You still have no evidence that can kill him."
"Sir, this matter is actually very simple. As long as you take off the mask on Xue Gui's face, I think everything can be solved easily." Shen Hao directly stated his plan without being shy. If you take off the mask on Xue Gui's face, his appearance will definitely resemble that of Yang Wenguang.
As for disfigurement? And disguise?
Disguise is not plastic surgery, and if you can tell from plastic surgery, how about disguise?
Disfigurement is even less likely. Because if Shen Hao's speculation is correct, Xue Gui will accept the last part of Yang Wenguang's plan, which is to ascend the throne. A disfigured emperor? There is no such unsightly emperor.
Shen Hao even dared to assert that the reason why Xue Gui wore a mask on his face was simply to hide his appearance so as not to arouse suspicion. After all, the position of the Major Cases Department of the Ministry of Punishment is already quite high. It would be bad if word got out that people recognized him as "looking like His Majesty" and it would inevitably be noticed by interested people. In addition, the mask is still a magic weapon. Maybe it has other functions?
The method proposed by Shen Hao is quite simple, but you can't just come to your door and ask someone to take off the mask and show it to you. So if you want to prove that all the guesses are correct, you must use some tricks. Of course, Jiang Cheng must agree.
Already so familiar, Jiang Cheng understood his disciple's plan after hearing the first half of the sentence. He snorted and said, "Tell me, you must have a way. I'll see if I can use it."
"Hey, my lord, I'm aware of this. I think I can invite Xue Gui to come and sit in our Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. Then it won't be difficult to ask him to lift his mask and have a look, right?"
"Reason? Xue Gui is currently working as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and is nominally the officer in charge of the Major Cases Department. There must be a suitable reason for inviting him to the governor's office, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble. "Jiang Cheng shook his head gently. The situation is now delicate, and Xuan Qingwei must be cautious in every move he makes.
"Let's just say that there are clues about the murderer of King Jing. If my subordinate's guess is correct, then everything is easy to say, and it is not a problem to capture Xue Gui directly. If my subordinate's guess is wrong and Xue Gui has nothing to do with Jin Wang Yang Wenguang, then we will The identities of the five murderers who died in vain are given to Xue Gui. If it doesn't work, my subordinates can just bow and apologize to him."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "Bow down and apologize? Are you embarrassed?"
"It's okay. If I make a mistake, I just bow. If I'm right, Xue Gui will have to die. I think this deal is a good deal."
"It's indeed a good deal. But the ugly words are ahead. Until everything is decided, neither I nor the people in the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen are suitable to attack Xue Gui. If we do, if you guess wrong, it will be the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen and Liang Zi from the Ministry of Punishment, this is no small matter nowadays. It will offend Panda and even His Majesty. So you can only attack Xue Gui on the grounds of "private enmity". The success or failure depends on you.
You are now at the second level of the Yuan Dan Realm. What do you think you have a chance of winning against Xue Gui? "
Shen Hao said modestly: "Eight points."
