The light rain in Tianjie is as moist as cake.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down, and the water stains on the streets that were wetted by rain also turned into water vapor and slowly dissipated under the rays of the setting sun.
People were coming and going around, and a white horse left Tianlao and walked slowly along the straight road towards the majestic palace in the distance.
After a trip to Tianlao, although he gained thousands of fortunes, the people he wanted to conquer were not conquered, and the things he wanted to ask were not asked. Yuhuatian's face looked a little unhappy.
He originally thought that Gu Santong had already become famous in the world in twenty years, and had been in Tianlao for twenty years, so he should have broken through to the Grand Master. However, he did not expect that Gu Santong was a useless waste, not only because of a ridiculous He promised to be trapped in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years, but he also gave up on himself and gave up martial arts without even thinking about breaking through the Grand Master.
"The ancient three-way road is not feasible, and it is even more impossible for Zhu to ignore it! Then...it seems that we still have to make time to go to Wudang."
Yuhuatian pondered deeply.
Now that he has gained the appreciation of Zhu Youxiao for knowing the national treasure, as long as the drowning case is investigated again, Zhu Youxiao will definitely trust him more. By then, his status in the court will no longer be weaker than that of Zhu Youxiao. Ignored.
But in terms of strength, it is always a flaw.
Although he has never fought against Zhu Wuwu, Yuhuatian must prepare for a rainy day. Even if Zhu Wuwu is not a grand master, he must be treated as one.
Only by finding an opportunity to seize the opportunity and completely eliminate Zhu Wuli, can he truly be called "one person below ten thousand people."
At that time, no one can threaten him except the emperor!
This is the first step in his current plan!
However, breaking through the Grandmaster is not that simple.
Even Gu Santong said that the great masters of Jianghu people basically made breakthroughs after decades of accumulation.
But why does it have to go through decades of precipitation?
Do you have to reach a certain age to make a breakthrough?
But this is unlikely. If this is really the case, then there are many master warriors in the world, but why are there so few great masters?
So, in the end, it still depends on talent and understanding.
But if we only talk about talent and understanding, my own talent and understanding should not be bad, not to mention the help of the system. No matter what kind of martial arts you practice, as long as you have enough luck, you can achieve it quickly.
So what exactly is needed to break through to Grandmaster?
Could it be that the level of the exercises currently being practiced is not high enough...
"By the way, the skill level?"
Suddenly, Yu Huatian's eyes flashed. It seemed that in the world, he had not heard of any techniques that could lead people directly to the Grand Master after practicing.
Even after Zhang Wuji mastered the top-notch internal skill "Nine Yang Divine Skill" to great perfection, he only reached the peak of the master's level and did not break through to the great master.
Could it be said that breaking through the Grand Master does not rely on martial arts?
In other words, if you practice other people's martial arts, you can't break through the great master...
Yu Huatian was thoughtful, as if he had grasped a thread in his heart, but he did not grasp it completely.
"Tap tap tap..."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the street, interrupting Yu Huatian's thoughts.
He looked up and saw a group of guards galloping through the street. The pedestrians on both sides were so frightened that they hurriedly hid in both directions. Judging from the direction, they should be heading towards Dongchang.
"People from Nansi?"
Yuhuatian frowned slightly. It was impossible for him not to recognize the Jinyiwei from Beizhen Fusi once he had met them, but these people were very unfamiliar to him.
Then there is only one possibility——
These Jin Yiwei are from Nanzhen Fusi!
However, Nanzhen Fusi is mainly responsible for supervising laws and disciplines within the imperial court. Investigating cases and arresting people are generally the responsibilities of North Town Fusi.
And these Jin Yiwei, armed with swords and menacing, were obviously going to investigate the case.
Something happened in the East Factory, but it was the people from the South Division who were dispatched. It seemed that the people from the North Division were inconvenient to intervene...
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately turned his horse's head and chased after the royal guards.
After a while, Yu Huatian rushed to the East Factory and found that there were many people standing at the door, including people from the East and West Second Factory and the Jin Yiwei from the Nan Division.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, everyone immediately noticed Yuhuatian's arrival. Several people from the West Factory immediately showed joy and hurriedly came forward to greet them:
"Lord Lord!"
"See the Overlord!"
Looking at such a big scene, Yu Huatian frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
A West Factory fan replied: "We came with the stall owner to investigate the drowning case, and wanted to take Guo Zhen back to investigate, but we didn't expect that as soon as we got here, we saw that Guo Zhen was dead, and the people who followed the East Factory We arrived, and then things got serious, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, notified Nansi Jinyiwei and handed the case over to Nansi for investigation, and now the stall owner and the others are inside to take over."
Guo is really dead?
Hearing this, Yu Huatian frowned even more. After taking over the case, he immediately ordered Ma Jinliang and the others to arrest Guo Zhen first to prevent anyone from killing him to silence him. Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late.
"You guys wait outside."
Yuhuatian gave the order with a stern face, and then walked straight into the East Factory.
The Dongchang and the Jin Yiwei at the door also recognized Yuhuatian's identity at this time, and did not dare to stop him, so they allowed him to enter the Dongchang.
According to the direction from which the sound came, Yuhuatian rushed directly to Guo Zhen's mansion. After turning a corner, he found many people standing at the door of a government office in the distance.
Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, and several senior officials of Dongchang stood nearby. Ma Jinliang and Zhao Tong stood in the middle. Several Jinyi guards were asking questions, but they were sullen and silent.
There was also a Jin Yiwei wearing a white flying fish uniform beside him. He was talking and laughing with Cao Zhengchun with a smile, and he didn't look anxious at all.
"Master Ma, we are all on errands. Please tell us what happened. How did Eunuch Guo Zhen die? This way we can go back to work and not waste your time. Do you think that's right?"
A guard dressed in gilded clothes from a hundred households held a book of impermanence and persuaded him earnestly.
Ma Jinliang glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
Zhao Tong said with a cold face: "My lord is the Shangguan of Xichang. According to the rank, it is not your turn to ask questions. Either ask Huang Baichuan to come and ask questions, or inform my governor, and we will make the facts clear."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly stiffened. Several Jin Yiwei looked ugly and looked at the man in the white flying fish suit next to Cao Zhengchun.
Because this person was Huang Baichuan, the only person in charge of punishing thousands of households in their southern division.
Huang Baichuan also turned his head to look at Zhao Tong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "This sir has such great official power. Now that a father-in-law from the East Factory has died, I have been ordered to investigate the case. I also need to consult with you from the West Factory." What is the Governor’s opinion?”
"Do you have any opinions?"
A calm voice came from behind.
When everyone looked at it, their expressions changed.
"Lord Lord!"
Ma Jinliang and Zhao Tong quickly stepped forward to salute, their expressions slightly relaxed.
"Hey, Mr. Yu is here too?"
Cao Zhengchun said hello with a smile.
Yu Huatian ignored him and just looked at Huang Baichuan, his eyes calm but oppressive: "Is it your turn to interrogate me?"
Huang Baichuan's heart tightened. He wanted to be tougher, but for some reason, at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look directly at Yuhuatian. He swallowed hard and said in a difficult tone:
"In order to avoid suspicion, cases within the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei are generally not investigated by this department. This is a historical rule. It is also the duty of the subordinate to come to the East Factory to investigate the case..."
"Now you tell me the rules?"
Yu Huatian interrupted indifferently: "Whether it is the East-West Second Factory or the Jinyiwei, as long as I am involved, it is not your turn to intervene. What I say is the rule! Do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, even Cao Zhengchun's face darkened. Yu Huatian's words clearly meant that even he didn't take them seriously.
But Huang Baichuan didn't dare to refute, and said bravely: "It's a humble position, I understand."
"You understand, why don't you get out?" Yuhuatian said coldly.
Huang Baichuan looked ugly, glanced at Cao Zhengchun next to him, waved his hand and left with his people without saying a word.
But this time, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Yu, Huang Qianhu is right. What's more, this matter involves people from your West Factory, but it was my East Factory who died. People, if you do this, are you afraid it is against the rules?"
Yu Huatian looked at him with an expressionless face: "This Guo Zhen is related to the case of the emperor falling into the water. I have taken over the case. This time I asked them to bring him back to the West Factory. One is for interrogation, and the other is for Protect and prevent someone from wiping them out, but now that my people have not arrived, Guo Zhen is dead, and it is better to die on your own territory in Dongchang. Eunuch Cao should first think about how to explain to the emperor."
"What?!"
Cao Zhengchun didn't expect that this matter actually involved the emperor falling into the water, and his expression suddenly changed.
He knew that if this matter was not handled well, he would be in big trouble!
After all, Guo was really his, but he died on Dongchang's territory.
Cao Zhengchun's face was ugly: "Eunuch Yu, our family has no knowledge of this matter. If Guo really dies, it has absolutely nothing to do with our family."
"Explain these words to the Emperor yourself."
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he ignored him, turned to look at Ma Jinliang and the two, and asked coldly: "What's going on? Tell me!"
Ma Jinliang said in a deep voice: "Lord Governor, it was not our fault. As soon as we arrived here, Guo Zhen was already dead. He died no more than a quarter of an hour ago and the body has not even cooled down. We originally wanted to chase the murderer, so I was stopped by the people from Dongchang, and they came with the Jin Yiwei."
Yuhuatian didn't say much and asked: "Where is the body?"
Ma Jinliang stepped aside, turned around and looked at the body covered by a piece of white cloth behind him, and said, "That's him."
Yuhuatian walked over, lifted up the white cloth, and took a closer look. He found that the fatal wound was on his chest. So he opened the clothes and took a look, only to see a sunken palm print on his chest. There was a trace of cold air on it, and even that piece had already It was covered with ice crystals, and it was obviously a fatal blow.
"Ice Qi? And judging from the strength of the remaining Qi, the person who took action must be at least a Grandmaster..."
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly thought of someone in his mind.
But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible. After all, with that person's status, he shouldn't be in the capital.
But besides him, who else would cultivate such special Qi? ——
Third update, please order all!
