Chapter 322 Heart Talisman
Five days.
The Monster Hunt Office was extremely busy, with many people coming in and out. Lu Jiu came a few times and wasted little time, so he quickly left.
Everyone was waiting and watching, after all, they didn't know how far the investigation was. During this period, the Hu family and Shen family members in the imperial guards were taken to the Monster Hunting Office and never came out again.
Zhang Tianshi stood in the room on the second floor, squinted his eyes slightly, and his ears moved from time to time.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
With the response, Master Zhang Tian opened his eyes, walked down from the couch, stood at the window, stared at several locations outside the Monster Hunters, and looked at them for a few more times, then turned around to face the ghost-faced man.
"Tell me!"
The first man knelt on one knee, turned his body in the direction where Master Zhang was walking, and said:
"Reported to the Heavenly Master, I found a letter at my home outside the mound, which was hidden in his womb and stuck in the crack of the book. It said, "For my father's trip, he will not return. You will take care of your mother. There is a jar buried under the locust tree in the yard, with a hundred taels of gold inside."
Master Zhang Tian stretched out his hand and took the letter. It turned out to be just a few short words. Looking at the crease, he should not make a false statement. A sentence goes away but never returns, obviously he knows that he will die.
"Has the gold been found?"
"Yes, the gold has been brought back. There are 100 taels of gold in the jar and some jewelry. It depends on the regulations that come from the palace."
As he said that, a tray was sent up, half of which were gold bars and half of which were some jewelry.
Master Zhang took a look and his eyes stopped on the jewelry. One of the collars was very special, and the filigree red gold Ruyi collars seemed to look familiar.
I picked it up and looked at it, reached out and removed the Ruyi lock on it. With this action, the collar under the Ruyi lock was exposed naked, and the words "secret" in the Tang Palace above were particularly conspicuous.
"Interesting, the things that flow out of the palace can be checked and archived. Which palace is the object from which palace is this? If I remember it well, is it the original Fengyi Palace and Queen Liu's inventory?"
The ghost-faced man seemed to be stunned for a moment and quickly lowered his head.
"The wise master of the Heavenly Master is indeed an object left by Fengyi Palace. After the prince's wedding, all these inventory has been moved to the East Palace."
Zhang Tianshi just nodded and didn't say much. The commander of an imperial guard who could receive such a reward was enough to hide it and not reveal it.
"The people from the Shen family are detained and waiting for the fall. Who can go to Crescent Valley to find the cave and the villagers who disappeared from that village?"
The two ghost-faced men behind quickly moved forward and knelt on one knee.
"Report to the Heavenly Master, the cave has been found. When we arrived, several men in blue cast spells and left. We failed to catch up. After the talisman at the entrance of the cave was removed, a large number of imperial guards' armor, robes and weapons were found inside.
After counting the number, we found that there were a total of 500 sets in it. In order to come back quickly to report, the cave was kept guarding. We only brought back twenty sets of armor and other items. The evidence was all below and the disciples had already sealed it."
This man paused for a moment, spread the map and placed it in front of Master Zhang, pointed to two places and said:
"We have found this village. In addition to the marks of swords, we have found some arrows and blood in the secret place. Fights have occurred here, but someone has cleaned the scene. Perhaps in a hurry, some traces of the secret place have not been cleaned up.
Then, the surrounding area began to explore. In a valley on the east side, a place where the corpses were buried was found. More than 400 corpses were dug out, including both young, young, female and children. All were beheaded and buried. Arrows were found on the bodies, all of which were the configurations of the imperial guards."
Master Zhang raised his head when he heard this. Sure enough, all the evidence was towards the speculation that Zhou Ze did not explain.
Although Hu Hua and Shen Conglin are both imperial guards, they are not what they said to be for escort. Perhaps they wanted to perform a play, in order not to allocate funds to Zhennan Army, and to blame Zhennan Army and Ning Wang.
Although the Monster Hunt Office did not participate in party struggles, he could not tolerate killing the imperial guards in this way and used for party struggles.
"Did Gong Zhixiang admit it?"
The ghost-faced man shook his head, and Master Zhang waved his hand.
"Let's retreat, keep the evidence well, even our people cannot get close to you, everything is controlled by the ghost-faced man."
Everyone said that they were retreating. Master Zhang got up and went downstairs and headed straight to the cell on the next floor. Although this place was not a prison, his interrogation ability was even better. He could withstand so many days, both Chen Zhongyou and Gong Zhixiang were very endurance.
However, the previous interrogation was just a formality, especially when Lu Jiu came a few times, he was concerned about whether to use torture, so there was no need to worry about it now.
When he came to the door of a closed stone chamber, the guard saluted him, and Zhang Tianshi waved his hand slightly.
"Open the door."
The iron door of the cell opened, Master Zhang walked in, Chen Duo came out of nowhere and followed Master Zhang in.
"Master, shall I interrogate?"
Master Zhang Tian glanced at Chen Duo, then his eyes fell on Gong Zhixiang and he laughed directly.
"You have been following me for more than ten years and have transferred you back to the capital. Do you know the reason?"
Chen Duo's expression changed slightly, but he still said well-behavedly:
"It's because my disciples are obedient."
Zhang Tianshi smiled, shook his head slightly, stared at Gong Zhixiang in front of him, lit Chen Duo twice with his backhand, then waved to the door, and the door closed.
"It's because from the day you started, I knew that you were sent by He Wenqing. Although you had no internal strength at the beginning, there was a heart talisman controlling you. What you said and what you did were controlled by He Wenqing at all times.
Keeping you is just an immature time. I also hope to put you in a specific position and make it easier to control.
I have been thinking about the matter of the mind talisman, you don’t know. Once this thing leaves your body, all your skills will disappear. It’s time to give it to me.”
As he said that, Master Zhang Tian patted Chen Duo twice, then cut a hole in his chest, and a bamboo tube as thick as a finger fell out, carrying Chen Duo's blood and his body temperature.
Chen Duo opened his mouth. Compared with the shock, the shock at this moment made him panic. Because he came to the capital, he didn't want to contact He Wenqing again, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing on him.
As the bamboo tube was pulled out, Chen Duo seemed to have had his last bit of strength and fell directly to the ground, with his mouth open and the blood was constantly used. Several ghost-faced people came in and picked up Chen Duo directly.
Master Zhang Tian opened the bamboo tube, removed a small golden talisman, pinched it in his palm, and instantly turned into nothing, then he looked at Chen Duo.
"A match between master and apprentice is also considered fate. I will not take your life, but your remaining life will be spent in the Monster Hunting Department. After all, if you leave here, you will be killed, and even your family will be unable to escape. Take it on!"
These words were not warm at all.
The ghost-faced man left with the limp Chen Duo. Master Zhang threw the diabolic tube in front of Gong Zhixiang and waved it casually, covering the cell with an isolated light cover.
"You may be thinking that it's very short time to choose to enter the prince's camp, so you probably won't be hit, haha!"
Zhang Tianshi smiled, walked to Gong Zhixiang, and then squatted down and stared at Gong Zhixiang's eyes.
"I'll let you see it."
As he said that, Zhang Tianshi poked Gong Zhixiang's chest with his fingers. A burst of heart-wrenching pain came. Gong Zhixiang couldn't move at all if he wanted to resist. He could only watch Zhang Tianshi's fingers move constantly on his body.
As the fingers moved, something seemed to be under the skin. As Master Zhang was traction, he moved towards his arm. When he reached the wrist, Master Zhang stopped moving.
He lifted Gong Zhixiang's sleeves, and a piece of bulging skin was very conspicuous. In terms of form, there was no need to introduce him to Zhang Tianshi. Gong Zhixiang knew that this should be the same as the thing taken out of the man who dragged it out, and it should be the bamboo tube containing a golden talisman.
He looked shocked. After all, he went to the East Palace for a limited number of times. In addition to meeting He Zhenren, he met him in the East Palace so once, and he had no close contact, nor had he eaten anything.
But how could this talisman appear on him?
