The people present may not know that the person who holds this kind of waist badge with the word "hole" is a person from the Insight Department.

It's no wonder, because the Insight Department is an organization that the public knows very little about, and most people don't even know it exists.

This is the purpose of the organization, which is to secretly investigate the truth behind public events, secretly arrest the culprits lurking behind the scenes, and solve problems that are inconvenient for the court to solve openly.

The Insight Department has three ranks from top to bottom: chief, deputy chief, and insight envoy. They have a high degree of freedom to investigate and are not subject to the jurisdiction of any agency. They only obey the orders of the Emperor of Chu and are directly responsible to the emperor.

This man is one of the four deputy heads of the Insight Department today. His name is Zhang Kaidong, and his internal strength has reached the state of transformation.

This woman is his favorite disciple, a close disciple named Lin Zhiruo, who has now achieved great success in internal strength.

The two of them were in Zizhou recently, but because they heard that a massacre occurred in Linzhou, and the people who died were Jiang Jingwei, the supervisor of the state government, and members of his concubine's mother's family, they immediately transferred to Linzhou. .

The two stayed in front of the notice for a while, walked into the city gate, entered the city, and first came to Jiang Jingwei's old mansion.

There was a seal of the state capital on the door of the mansion. When they saw no one around, they climbed over the wall and entered the mansion.

The two looked around casually and found that the Jiang family's property had been confiscated and all the rooms were empty.

The courtyards everywhere were desolate and deserted. Although they had been cleaned up, there were still faint traces of blood stains in some places.

Zhang Kaidong said expressionlessly: "According to the information we received, there were as many as a hundred guards killed in the Jiang Mansion. In such a small place, there should have been mountains of corpses at that time."

Lin Zhiruo said: "Master, listening to the people's comments, it seems that they all hate Jiang Jingwei deeply. In my opinion, most of the accusations in the notice are true."

"However, the government's announcement only mentioned that Jiang Jingwei and Liu Xuesheng would be put to death, and did not mention the extermination of the family at all. Even if Jiang Jingwei did many evil things, he should be punished by national law. And the extermination of the family is probably not something that the government can do.

This man with a butcher's knife was so lawless and ruthless, but the state government did not mention it at all. Who is this person that could allow Tu Wenbo to cover up so blatantly and deliberately! "

"Master, why don't we go directly to the state capital and ask the prefect Tu?" Lin Zhiruo said.

"Not yet!" Zhang Kaidong said without hesitation, "Since Tu Wenbo dares to do this, what can I ask him about?"

Lin Zhiruo lowered her head in shame.

"Aren't there any survivors in the Liu family? Let's go to the Liu Mansion first." Zhang Zhangdong said.

The two left the Jiang Mansion and came to Jiba Hall.

Standing at the door, Zhang Kaidong said with emotion: "When I was young, I went to Linzhou. At that time, Ji Ba Tang was so powerful. It was so beautiful. I didn't want to end up in this situation today."

Lin Zhiruo frowned slightly and said, "You dare to use the word 'Jiba' in your name. Is it a bit too public?"

At this moment, the door of the mansion opened, and Liu Shiyu saw two people standing outside the door. She was slightly startled and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Zhiruo picked up her waist badge and revealed her identity: "Insight Envoy Lin Zhiruo is here to investigate the case. This is my master, Mr. Zhang, the deputy head of the Insight Department."

"Insight Department?" Obviously, Liu Shiyu had never heard of this organization.

This was not the first time Lin Zhiruo had encountered such an embarrassing situation, and she was used to it.

"We are His Majesty's secret envoys. We would like to find out whether there is any injustice in the case of the massacre of the Liu family." Zhang Kaidong explained.

"Ah, His Majesty's Secret Envoy!" Liu Shiyu seemed to suddenly see the sun in the haze, and couldn't help being surprised, and immediately welcomed the two of them into the house.

In the lobby, Zhang Kaidong and Lin Zhiruo had just sat down when the maid served them tea.

Liu Shiyu knelt down with a plop, wiped his eyes, and said reluctantly: "The Liu family is in such a catastrophic situation. We hope that the two secret envoys will inform Your Majesty and make the decision for us!"

Lin Zhiruo helped her up and asked, "What is your name? Who is from the Liu family?"

Liu Shiyu said: "My lord, Liu Shiyu, a commoner's daughter, is the second daughter of the Liu family."

"Who else in the Liu family survived?"

"My lord, there are only three of us: my aunt, my sister, and me. My sister Liu Shiyun is the second wife of Mr. Jiang, the supervisor of the Linzhou Mansion. The Jiang family has also been exterminated. Unfortunately, my aunt today My sister and I are not at home, if you have any questions, just ask me."

He opened the hole and asked, "Were you present when the Liu family was massacred?"

"Sir, the daughter of the people was at the scene at that time."

"Oh?" Zhang Kaidong said with a smile on his face, "Tell me about the scene that day in detail. Speak slowly, the more detailed the better."

Liu Shiyu took his time and told what happened that day.

She didn't know how Ye Qingchen entered the house that day or how he killed people in the martial arts arena. All I know is that all the disciples were massacred, and in the end only his father Liu Xuesheng came with Ye Qingchen to drink tea.

Therefore, she made up random things about the martial arts field based on her imagination. She only said that Ye Qingchen was cruel and cruel, killing everyone on sight, and he was like a demon.

Later, when he talked about what he had seen, the scene was still vivid in his mind. He was still frightened, trembling, and crying.

Zhang Kaidong asked doubtfully: "Listen to what you said, this young man who calls himself the Sword Demon is only in his twenties, and your father is already a master of the heavenly realm. Why can't he defeat him?"

Liu Shiyu cried: "I don't know the reason. My father seemed to be very afraid of him at that time and was completely at his mercy."

He opened the cave and said: "The notice from the state capital said that your father, together with Jiang Jingwei, massacred twenty-seven people in Wuxia Village. Do you know about this?"

Liu Shiyu said aggrievedly: "Although I don't know much about my father, this matter is most likely framed. Because during this period, my father has been in the house and has never left. How can I go to the witchcraft house?" Killing people in Xia Village? Besides, my father has always abided by the law, how could he have any grudge against that Wuxia Village?"

Zhang Kaidong and Lin Zhiruo looked at each other, with doubts on their faces.

"What else do you know?" Lin Zhiruo asked.

Liu Shiyu said: "After the sword demon committed the murder in the Liu Mansion, he took my father's body to the Jiang Mansion. I originally wanted to go to the Chiang Mansion to file a complaint, but unexpectedly after entering the manor, I saw the tragic scene of the Jiang family being massacred. .”

"The Sword Demon let you go at Liu's house, but when he saw you later at Jiang's house, he still didn't kill you?" Lin Zhiruo asked in disbelief.

Liu Shiyu nodded slightly and said: "I don't know why. Maybe... maybe it's because... the prefect Tu was also present at that time, so he was afraid!"

Zhang Kaidong said in surprise: "What? You said that Master Tu was also present when the Jiang family was massacred? As an official of the imperial court, why would he let this happen? Moreover, it would be fine if he did not capture the sword demon afterwards, but instead killed Jiang Jingwei Are you and your father arrested?"

Liu Shiyu lowered her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face, as if she didn't dare to say something.
