Chapter 152 Murder in the Rain Curtain
But because of this, Li Mengzhou was always secretly alert, but the result was calm. Thinking of this, Li Mengzhou suddenly became a little angry. This was a waste of his feelings and wasted his time. He was definitely unforgivable!
However, although he noticed the gaze that was staring at the courtyard, the other party seemed very cautious. Every time Li Mengzhou's thoughts were released, he could no longer sense the existence of the gaze.
In this way, it is difficult to catch the other party unless it is actively showing up.
As the realm of the practitioner increases, the visual distance will also expand. Although this seems to be a very light ability and can see through the movements of hundreds of miles, in fact, if someone deliberately wants to hide, unless his or her realm is far higher than the other party, there will be a situation of "not visible".
Just like Li Mengzhou was able to enhance his thoughts through the "Silks of Silkworms", temporarily concealing the world and avoiding the perception of Bei Zangfeng, there is also the same in the world, and the difference in realms is small so that it is not perceived.
But according to common sense, and Li Mengzhou's speculation, the person who secretly peeps in the dark will definitely be less than the lower level of the fourth level. Then Gu Shiyan is very close to the peak of the fourth level of cultivation. Even if the other party hides deeply, he will eventually find some clues.
The enhancement of thoughts in "Silks of Silkworms" is unique. Li Mengzhou's ability to avoid Bei Zangfeng's divine travel perception at a weak state does not mean that others can do it.
By the same token, Li Mengzhou's idea of wandering is far stronger than that of cultivators in the same realm, and cannot be viewed by common sense. However, the person who secretly peeked into the courtyard can hide the perception of Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan. Even if his cultivation level is not very high, he must be no ordinary person.
Li Mengzhou picked up a handful of water from the wooden barrel and slapped it on his face, slightly dispelling some of the hot air. Looking at the alley outside the yard with a faint candlelight, he thought seriously: "Since you choose to peek in the secret, and even occasionally there is a trace of murderous intent in your sight, you must be someone who knows me and has some hatred."
"The disciples of Cangnan Mountain have already left the capital. Even if they come back, their main target should be He Zhengrong. Xu Hexian is suspicious, but he will not use such means. The Minister Zhu of Xuanzhengsi has this possibility. Besides, who else wants to kill me?"
There are not many people who have had a grudge against Li Mengzhou in the capital, but there are definitely many, but there are very few people who really meet the requirements.
Like Tang Tian, who has not fallen into the mountains, although he has some grudges, he is not as good as killing people. Moreover, with Tang Tian’s cultivation level, it is impossible to hide his perception.
Guan Muyun's possibility is not high. He is a disciple of the academy after all. Even if he had a murderous intention towards Li Mengzhou, he would not bother to hide in the dark and peep in the dark. Moreover, Li Mengzhou didn't think that Guan Muyun had any reason to kill him.
Many remaining people have basically been killed by Li Mengzhou, and it is impossible for the dead to take revenge again, so there is no need to consider it. Just talking about the living people, of course, Xu Hexian is the most suspicious one.
However, Xu Hexian's identity was not allowed to be seen by himself. Moreover, because of the murder of Yue Shiting, he was afraid that he was too busy to pay attention to Li Mengzhou. On the contrary, Zhu Zaitian, a subordinate of Xu Hexian, was even more suspicious. He was also a low-level practitioner in the fourth level. Although his realm was higher than Li Mengzhou, he was weaker than Gu Shiyan, which was very consistent with his previous speculation.
What's more, Zhu Zaitian also had a precedent in trying to intercept him outside the capital before the Panlong Banquet. Li Mengzhou suspected Qi Xiaoran who had killed Yue Shiting, but with Qi Xiaoran's cultivation, he did not need to secretly peek and encounter him directly, which was enough to kill Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan.
After thinking about it, it seems that Zhu Zaitian is the most suspicious.
"We may need to take the initiative."
Li Mengzhou looked at Gu Shiyan and said calmly.
It is very uncomfortable to be peeked at by a pair of eyes for several days.
Since he doubted Zhu Zaitian, then Li Mengzhou would do something.
He was not an official who had never killed the court. Even if killing Zhu Zaitian would be relatively troublesome, he would not retreat when this idea arose.
Gu Shiyan's mind moved, then slowly stood up from the rattan chair, picked up the long sword that was standing beside her, and said lightly: "Do you know who it is?"
Li Mengzhou informed Gu Shiyan of his own conjecture and said, "Although he is not sure if it is Zhu Zaitian, his suspicion is the greatest. He wanted to intercept me outside the capital earlier. I didn't plan to tear him directly because of the banquet, so I ignored him. But if the person who secretly peeped at me this time was really him, I would have to solve this problem."
Gu Shiyan frowned and said, "The capital has caused a lot of controversy because of Yue Shiting's murder. If the minister of Xuan Zhengshi was killed, it would probably be a big trouble."
Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "Dan Tai Jing was assassinated before, and Yue Shiting died at the hands of the mysterious man outside the East City Gate. Xu Hexian has not yet solved the case of Dan Tai Jing being killed. If there are any officials in the court who died, wouldn't it also be a trouble for Xu Hexian?"
Gu Shiyan nodded suddenly and said, "Compared to causing trouble for people, it is nothing to kill Zhu Zaitian. Although Xu Hexian seems to have no ability to solve cases, he is indeed an extremely intelligent person. It is risky to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth. It is also very interesting to think about it."
Xu Hexian was the head of the Xuanzhengsi, and he targeted cases related to practitioners. Ordinary cases and suspected cases of court officials were the duties of the Jingzhao Prefecture of Langya. However, at some point, the Xuanzhengsi also had the power to intervene in the Jingzhao Prefecture of Langya.
If we say that the case is solved, of course, Langya Jingzhao Prefecture is better. Xuanzhengsi only solves some things that Langya Jingzhao Prefecture does not have the ability to solve.
But it cannot be said that Xu Hexian has no at all accomplishment in solving the case. It is just a coincidence that because of the murder of Dan Tai Jing, he transferred from the Jingzhao Mansion of Langya to the Xuanzhengsi to take over, and has not been solved so far. On the surface, it does seem that Xu Hexian's ability is not very good.
And it was precisely because Gu Shiyan was the real murderer who killed Dan Tai Jing, she certainly had the right to ridicule him. But in fact, although Xu Hexian did not doubt Gu Shiyan, he had already suspected Zhang Chong and Dan Tai Jing's death to Li Mengzhou. When Xu Hexian sent Zhu Zaitian to arrest Li Mengzhou, it was not entirely a frame-up.
But for some special reasons, Xu Hexian did not pay attention to this matter anymore.
But at least in Gu Shiyan's eyes, Xu Hexian does not have much ability except for his profound cultivation.
She didn't think about it either. If Xu Hexian really solved the murder of Dan Tai Jing, then she would be the one who was unlucky in the end.
The capital city is a very complicated place, and everyone has a deep mind, let alone the big figures in the court.
Xu Hexian was able to sit in the position of the head of the Xuan Zhengsi Department, but it was not just because of his strongest strength in the four realms.
Many things that appear on the surface may have deep meaning hidden in secret.
For example, no one in the entire capital knew about the relationship between Xu Hexian and Prince Lu.
Although the powerful monk's thoughts cover a long distance, it can only be seen but cannot be heard. Moreover, no one is so bored. He is observing other people's privacy every moment. Perhaps such people do exist in the world, but there are absolutely no one in the capital.
Because there are too many powerful practitioners in the capital, if you are not careful, if you touch something that cannot be touched, you may be in trouble for eight lifetimes.
Moreover, the formation technique set up by the formation master Cao Rushan in the capital covers almost every corner of the capital. Although it does not have the function of monitoring or monitoring, it cannot guarantee whether there will be any malicious people being noticed by Cao Rushan.
In the capital city, unless it is necessary for special periods, the idea of traveling in a divine city is prohibited. It is easy to detect, and no one does that. It is like a wild cult named Peng De. When he was about to come to the capital to kill Mr. Wu, he only traveled half of the capital city, and Qing Yi came to him and warned him.
Except for the few people in the capital who can be allowed to talk about certain things at home but are known to outsiders, it basically does not exist.
Of course, among ordinary people, if someone deliberately climbs on the wall and eavesdrops, it is inevitable.
No one knew that in the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane, there was a man and a woman planning a plot to kill the Minister of the Xuan Zhengsi.
......
A flash of lightning suddenly descended from the night sky.
There were also gusts of cool breezes blew in the streets and alleys, and a slight cool raindrop fell on the skin. It seemed that the feeling of heat and fatigue for a day disappeared. Although the people were looking forward to rain, they would not expect heavy rain. Seeing the lightning and thunder in the night sky, it seemed that the rain would not be too small.
The streets of the capital, which were originally lively, quickly became empty and while the rain was still small, pedestrians who were playing on the street returned home one after another.
The light rain slapped the doors and windows, making a sound, the rain curtains covered the capital, and the thunder and lightning were dotted with colors. A heavy rain, not raining, gradually swept through most of the Jiang Kingdom.
The rainfall near the capital was not very large, but the roar of lightning and thunder was not weak, and no one could see any pedestrians on the streets of the capital.
The cool night wind blew the connected rain curtain, and in a lane in the inner city, cat faces and rabbit faces appeared again.
Unlike in the past, the original black and white outfits turned black and were better hidden in the middle of the night.
The man in black who was neither fat nor thin, looked a little tight and looked very muscular. The starry eyes under the cat's face were shining with brilliance. A knife hung around his waist, which was a simple knife, extremely sharp.
The woman with a more graceful figure was holding a sword in her hand. They quickly moved between the alleyways and finally stood in front of a yard.
They are naturally Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan.
