Gao Wu: Jinyiwei killed the star, the emperor asked me to calm down

The earthquake did not happen in the entire Beizhenfu Division as Ye Beixuan had expected! When Li Cheng reported the news to the centurion Yang Shan, Yang Shan was shocked and said that the case was beyond his jurisdiction and must be carefully checked. Then he left the centurion in a hurry. Then the whole incident was like a drop in the ocean, without any news. This made Ye Beixuan and Li Cheng very puzzled. "Beixuan, something seems to be wrong." Seeing that the time was almost over, Yang Shan had not come back yet. Li Cheng said to Ye Beixuan. Ye Beixuan nodded. Under normal circumstances, such a big event of the Dragon God Cult would definitely cause a stir.

But now it has been a whole morning, and there is no other situation.

I didn't even hear anyone discussing it.

At this time, Lin Tao suddenly ran over from a distance in a hurry.

His face was very ugly, and when he ran to the two of them, he said directly: "Uncle Li, Brother Ye, it's not good!"

"What happened?" Li Cheng asked.

Lin Tao panted: "Prison... It's prison. The deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Envoy, Xu Kun, is dead!!"

"What!?"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Cheng stood up in an instant.

Ye Beixuan's expression also changed slightly.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

Jinyiwei has many prisons, and there are three in each Qianhu Hall.

They are used to imprison demons, sneaky people, and living people.

After Xu Kun was captured yesterday, he was imprisoned in a place dedicated to guarding living people.

The prison was not guarded too strictly, but you have to know that this is the North Pacification Division, the headquarters of the Jinyiwei!

It is simply a foolish dream to want to rob the prison in this place.

Anyway, Ye Beixuan has never heard of any prisoner who was imprisoned here being robbed.

As for death...

Jinyiwei will not let you die, and you can't die even if you want to.

But... Xu Kun died.

After entering the prison.

There are already many people around.

The centurion Yang Shan, who disappeared for a whole morning, is also here at this time.

Ye Beixuan looked at the bloody and blue-faced corpse of Xu Kun, and he knew that this person had run through the Naihe Bridge without even sniffing.

His peripheral vision swept to a corner again.

His face changed again, and he walked over quickly.

That was where the bodies of the three assassins from last night were placed.

Originally, two of them were killed by Ye Beixuan with a knife in the throat, and another one died of poison, and there were no wounds in other places.

But the three assassins' faces were all bruised now.

Ye Beixuan turned over the place where they had marked the Dragon God Cult's mark yesterday.

The skin there was directly shaved flat.

Ye Beixuan took a long breath and stood up.

He looked at everyone in the cell.

Except for him, Li Cheng and Lin Tao.

The others were all the confidants of the centurion Yang Shan.

He already had an idea in his mind.

Yang Shan came over at this time and sighed: "General Li, Xiaoqi Ye, you said Xu Kun colluded with the Dragon God Cult, but now Xu Kun is dead, and there is no evidence."

"Of course, I am not doubting you two, it's really too much of a matter, and I don't know how to report it for a while."

Li Cheng clenched his fist slightly, but then released it.

"Just tell the truth, sir. We didn't expect that Xu Kun would die for no reason after entering our Jinyiwei prison."

Yang Shan laughed: "That's right. Life and death are determined by fate. However, he is a traitor who attacked and killed Jinyiwei last night. I will report him to the captain immediately. Such a thief must be confiscated and exterminated!"

"Then I'll trouble you, sir."

Li Cheng and Ye Beixuan left the cell immediately.

As soon as he left the house, Lin Tao spat angrily and said: "Bah! This is not to treat us as fools. Xu Kun's death is definitely related to Yang Shan!"

Li Cheng patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then looked at Ye Beixuan: "Beixuan, see, this is the officialdom."

"A higher-ranking official can crush people to death. We have to listen to what Yang Shan says."

Ye Beixuan also had a more specific understanding of the ancient dynasty for the first time.

He was too idealistic before, thinking that everything would be fine as long as he caught the murderer.

Unexpectedly, reality turned around and gave him a series of fights.

Or it was because his strength and official position were not enough.

If he had the cultivation of a grandmaster or even a celestial being now, if Yang Shan dared to fart with his eyes open, he would definitely chop him off with a knife.

Afterwards

At worst, he can just walk away. If he can't work in the officialdom, he can go to the rivers and lakes.

But he is only a congenital one now, and he can't do it. Ye Beixuan nodded without saying anything.

Lin Tao couldn't help asking: "Uncle Li, why did Yang Shan do this? Is he also a member of the Dragon God Cult?"

Li Cheng looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not something we should get involved in."

"No matter who he is, you have to remember that in the Jinyiwei, the less you know, the longer you live."

But after saying all this, Li Cheng was still a little upset.

He continued.

"When I went back last night, I checked the information and found that the reason why Xu Kun was able to get the position of deputy envoy of the salt transport was because he hugged a thigh."

"Thigh? Who?" Lin Tao was a little curious.

Li Cheng's eyes were a little complicated: "If my guess is right... it should be the son of Pingnan Hou."

Son of Pingnan Hou?

Ye Beixuan was also slightly startled when he heard the name.

He knew about the Marquis of Pingnan.

One of the thirty-six marquises of Dali.

It was a title passed down since the founding of the Dali Dynasty.

It is the sixth one now.

And the family is becoming more and more prosperous!

His eldest daughter entered the palace at a young age, and now she is even named a concubine.

The family power is first-rate in Jinling, and there are many masters in the mansion.

It can be said that he is the top dignitary in Dali.

The Marquis of Pingnan has three sons, all of whom are in high positions.

Among them, the eldest son Xiao Mingzhe has even become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He is a second-rank official!

And the Salt Transport Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.

In an instant, Ye Beixuan figured it out.

Xu Kun is Xiao Mingzhe's man!

He and others arrested Xu Kun last night, and it is estimated that Xiao Mingzhe got the information at the first time.

For such a person, it is easy to kill someone in the Jinyiwei prison with just a few words.

Maybe when he and others reported the information to Yang Shan, the people of the Ministry of Revenue were listening not far away.

As for why Xu Kun, the subordinate of the Ministry of Revenue, colluded with the Dragon God Cult and was even able to command the assassins of the Dragon God Cult.

No one knows whether there was any instruction from the Ministry of Revenue.

But this obviously has nothing to do with Ye Beixuan.

Even if Xiao Mingzhe is also a member of the Dragon God Cult, the Dragon God Cult will destroy Dali tomorrow.

He is just an official for the new emperor.

It's not him who will die, so why care.

He just wants to make a contribution and climb up, and it doesn't matter if the court is rotten to the ground.

That's what he thought.

Ye Beixuan was no longer entangled, and smiled and said to Li Cheng: "Uncle Li, let's not worry so much. Even if Xu Kun died, our achievements cannot be faked. Maybe the higher-ups will ask us to raid Xu Kun's house later."

"This bastard's family is definitely rich."

Li Cheng was slightly startled when he heard what Ye Beixuan said, and then he also smiled and said: "Well said."

The work of raiding the house is definitely a career that all Jinyiwei are passionate about.

Although most of the property seized from the house must be confiscated, who among those officials does not have a small treasury in their homes.

Any amount of money is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Who doesn't love the white silver?

As for the Dragon God Cult? At their level, provoking such an organization will only cause trouble for themselves, without any benefit.

Quitting while you are ahead is the basis of survival.

Seeing that the two of them let go of the matter so easily, Lin Tao was still a little confused: "Uncle Li, Brother Ye, we were tricked by Yang Shan, why aren't you angry at all?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and glanced at him: "Angry? What are you angry about? Is Ma Shuang's case closed?"

"Yes."

"Xu Kun attacked the Jinyiwei and was caught on the spot by us. Will his family be confiscated and exterminated?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you angry? Isn't the credit all ours?"

"But the Dragon God Cult..."

"What Dragon God Cult? We have never seen that thing."

Lin Tao wanted to speak again, but Ye Beixuan patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Young man, you can't get fat in one bite. Sometimes you take too big a step and you will get hurt."

After that, he left with Li Cheng, talking and laughing, leaving Lin Tao standing there with a confused face.

He took a step forward and touched the back of his head in confusion: "What does taking a big step have to do with pulling the balls? Could it be that his is too big? Impossible, mine shouldn't be small either!"
