Chapter 66 Names that Disappear and Reappear
"Xuan Zhengshi handles the case! Retreat quickly!"
While Li Mengzhou turned around, he also heard this shout clearly.
The soldier with a mysterious robe wrapped in black clothes and a sword around his waist descended to the market with heavy and neat steps.
The appearance of these people was very abrupt, and the shout was like thunder.
For a moment, the people in the entire market noticed that no matter what they were doing, their eyes were placed in the direction of the market entrance.
The people are born with a sense of fear of the people in the yamen, not to mention that in actual power, Xuan Zhengshi has to overwhelm the Jingzhao Mansion. For ordinary people, it is simply a beast like a prehistoric beast.
Those who can run started running, and those who can't escape for a while also hid in stalls or shops. In a short time, the center of Shiji Street became empty, leaving only Li Mengzhou standing at the entrance of Shiji Street.
This also shows how powerful Xuan Zhengshi has to deter ordinary people. They all seem to have scythes and run faster than the other.
Li Mengzhou looked down at a watermelon rolling to his feet, and sighed speechlessly.
Although he had never thought about it in advance, he knew in his heart that there might be some trouble today.
Because those soldiers in the dark clothes and armor were led by an old acquaintance.
In Li Mengzhou, he was forced to be "kind" by Gu Shiyan, and was then sent to the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane by the people of Xuanzhengsi. The leader who led the troops at that time was the middle-aged man in front of him.
Because of Jiang Tingyu's appearance, he was sweating profusely and obediently retreating from Chaosi Lane. This middle-aged man was also the one who had no choice but to leave Chaosi Lane.
A great monk who entered the fourth realm.
Li Mengzhou thought that he hadn't done anything that was too eye-catching recently, so why did he get an old acquaintance of Xuan Zhengsi who was avoided?
In addition to the case of Dan Tai Jing being killed, the case of temporarily suppressing it, being able to be found by Xuan Zhengsi is the only thing that can be done by Yanzi Town.
But it has been a long time since the assassination of Dan Tai Jing. Li Mengzhou also believed that the matter of the Wei family in Yanzi Town should not have been spread to the capital, otherwise he should have taken action long ago, and it is even more impossible for him to come directly to him.
But in addition to this, Li Mengzhou couldn't imagine why this scene happened. He secretly guessed that something was wrong?
Or is it because Yue Shiting had known about Yanzi Town for a long time and had no time to move because of the Panlong Banquet, and now he finally started to move with the help of Xuan Zhengsi?
The only thing that made Li Mengzhou feel that there was a loophole was whether Yue Shiting arranged an eyeliner at the Wei family in Yanzi Town, and whether the eyeliner died that night.
When he could not find any signs of Yue Shiting's abnormality, Li Mengzhou could only calculate that the suspicion he arranged in the Wei family was dead. However, if the people from Xuan Zhengsi appeared in the market were really related to Yue Shiting, then his previous calculation would be completely wrong.
Of course, I wouldn't say what I thought in my heart, nor would I admit it. Li Mengzhou looked at Xuan Zhengsi's people and surrounded him. The middle-aged man stood in front of him, staring at him with a cold look, then stretched comfortably, yawned, and laughed softly, "What's the point of stopping me in the street?"
As a disciple of the inner courtyard of Ligong Jianyuan, except for facing the great court objects of the Five Secretariat, he was not suppressed by ordinary officials. Even if Li Mengzhou was not in the court, his status was not something that ordinary officials could reach.
Even if middle-aged men have considerable power within the Xuanzhengsi, their official positions are not high. In addition to Xu Hexian, the head of the Xuanzhengsi, there are many officials and ministers who perform their duties under their jurisdiction.
It is equivalent to the right-hand man of the leader of the department. Even if the position in Xuanzhengsi is second only to the leader of the department, he is not a big shot in the entire court and can only barely be at the intermediate level.
Zhu Zaitian is one of the ministers of Xuanzhengsi. He is not the strongest, but he is the most loyal to Xu Hexian, so Xu Hexian is willing to use him more.
On New Year's Eve, Zhu Zaitian was ordered to investigate Li Mengzhou who lived in Chaosi Lane. He thought it was just a very simple thing, but he did not expect that the head of Tianshu Courtyard had to leave in a mess.
Although Xu Hexian did not blame him afterwards, Zhu Zaitian could not forget his unbearable appearance at that time. Because there was a false reason for the intersecting of books between Jiang Tingyu and Li Mengzhou, Xu Hexian focused a lot of attention on the fast-rising young man Ligong Jianyuan.
Zhu Zaitian volunteered to secretly investigate everything about Li Mengzhou's appearance in the capital, and recently he really discovered some problems that are easy to be overlooked.
That is, Li Mengzhou has visited Tongming Lane more than once.
Perhaps ordinary people cannot contact anything from Tongming Lane, but as Xu Hexian, who regards Jiang Tingyu as his mortal enemy, he naturally knows that Tongming Lane is the only place where Jiang Tingyu settles outside the palace.
From this we can infer many problems.
Zhu Zaitian thought about what Xu Hexian said to him before, and his eyes on Li Mengzhou became even more unfriendly.
......
Early this morning, before the sky was dawn, Xu Hexian got up from the bed.
He did not marry, nor did he have a maid who warmed the quilt, and he didn't need to warm the quilt during this season.
Pushing open the door and facing the cool breeze outside, the stars are still flashing in the sky, and the moonlight becomes dim because the rising sun is about to rise soon.
Xu Hexian lives in Xuan Zhengshi, as if this is his home. Every night, he listened to the tragic screams coming from prison, and he felt that he would have a good dream tonight.
Zhu Zaitian appeared under the eaves, bowed and said, "I have met Sishou."
Xu Hexian carried his hands on his back and narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking about what he had recently investigated, he spoke in a sinister voice: "Although the unknown corpses that died in the capital a few years ago have been dealt with by very professional means, if you think about the problems more carefully, you can find that these dead people have appeared outside Chaosi Lane."
"And all this happened after Li Mengzhou moved into Chaosi Lane. It was originally something that he didn't care about, but what's interesting is that the people who helped Li Mengzhou purchase the courtyard seemed to have something to do with Tianshu Courtyard."
"Don't you find it interesting since Li Mengzhou appeared in Tongming Lane many times, and Jiang Tingyu appeared in Chaosi Lane on New Year's Eve, connecting everything together?"
Since Xu Hexian found it very interesting, Zhu Zaitian would also find it interesting, but he knew that it was not the time to laugh, so he said seriously: "According to the secret spy arranged by the Sishou to report, on the day when Li Mengzhou came to the capital, it happened that Qingjiu, the Tianshu Court, would return to the capital with the secret report of King Yu's rebellion."
"To outsiders, there is no problem in itself, but it's just that Qingjiu's name was briefly crossed out on Tianshu's list. If the name is crossed out, it means that the person has already died. However, in less than half a day, Qingjiu's name appeared on the list again."
"This was a very easy thing to investigate, but because no one has paid attention to this point, it was not until recently that his subordinates secretly investigated Li Mengzhou by the head of the Ministry of Justice that they discovered this clue. Combined with Li Mengzhou's close contacts with Tianshuyuan both openly and secretly, his subordinates couldn't help but have a bold guess."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zaitian kept silent and just looked at Xu Hexian.
Xu Hexian admired Zhu Zaitian's attitude very much and said with a smile: "Tianshu Academy will not make such a low-level mistake. It is not a trivial matter to have members sacrificed. You need to report it to Your Majesty. If you make a decision without authorization, you will be able to cross out the names on the member list at will, even Jiang Tingyu will not be able to bear this responsibility."
"Qingjiu must be dead, but since the name appears again, it means that someone has inherited this code name."
Tianshu Yuan is the most powerful intelligence agency in Jiang State. The member information is highly confidential, and life and death are both major issues. Even if you commit fraud when necessary, you must obtain the permission of His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if Jiang Tingyugui is the head of Tianshu Court, he does not have the right to cross out the names of undead members at will, unless the member betrays Tianshu Court, and the targeting of the betrayer is not as simple as crossing out the names.
Moreover, after the rules of Tianshu Court become more and more stringent, there are few things that people from Tianshu Court will betray.
Then when Qingjiu's name was crossed out, it soon appeared again, and there was a big problem.
When Zhu Zaitian thought about these things, he had absolute reason to suspect that Li Mengzhou was the one who inherited the Qingjiu code name.
Xuan Zhengshi did not investigate the relationship between Li Mengzhou and Dan Tai Jing's murder, but for Xu Hexian, the relationship between Li Mengzhou and Jiang Tingyu was enough to make him do something.
This seems to be the action of Xuan Zhengsi, but it is actually full of selfishness.
Under his impression, Li Mengzhou suspected that Dan Tai Jing and Yanzi Zhen Wei's family were reasonable, but he never dreamed that Xuan Zhengsi's actions against him were completely a fight between Xu Hexian and Jiang Tingyu.
It was just because Xu Hexian discovered the identity of a member of Li Mengzhou Tianshu Academy, and the real target was Jiang Tingyu. Li Mengzhou was just a chess piece that Xu Hexian caused trouble for Jiang Tingyu.
The purpose is to blame Li Mengzhou, and to involve the unknown murders and Dan Tai Jing cases in the capital and the cases of Li Mengzhou, making Jiang Tingyu frustrated.
In terms of overall situation, Xu Hexian's actions are very naive, because this cannot cause substantial harm to Jiang Tingyu. However, if Li Mengzhou's crime is implemented, as a member of the Tianshu Court, Jiang Tingyu, as the head of the court, will be very affected. Even if he cannot be dismissed from his post, he will be greatly affected.
When Xu Hexian and Zhu Zaitian were planning this matter, they never thought that those nameless murders were indeed assassins sent by King Yu who were secretly resolved by Tianshu Court to protect Li Mengzhou's safety. Although Dan Tai Jing was not killed by Li Mengzhou himself, he was really involved.
