Chapter 229 Ranking

The mysterious city of the Holy Capital.

It was already past noon, and Xu Zun came out of the mansion of Duke Liang Xue Guihua, and sat in the carriage as if he was thinking.

The mansion of Duke Liang is much more luxurious and grand than Ying Rang, as well as the Cao Ding family, who has seen it before.

There are many houses in the mansion and many corridors. If no one leads you, you may even get lost.

There are also many guards and entourages around Xue Guihua, including some of whom are agile and have profound skills.

Because of this, Xue Guihua's concubine was not able to escape after stabbing Xue Guihua to death. Instead, she was forced to the corner by these guards and committed suicide on the spot when she saw that she was desperate.

Therefore, the body of the assassin was also put on hold in the mansion, and Xu Zun conducted a simple autopsy on him.

After some investigation, Xu Zun also got some doubts that were different from before.

First, they did not find the mysterious mark at the assassination site.

On the day of the incident, Xue Guihua and his concubine went back to the bedroom to rest after lunch, and the concubine was able to assassinate him.

Unfortunately, several of Xue Guihua's followers happened to pass outside the door and noticed something was wrong, so they did not let the concubine escape.

Xu Zun and Anni searched in the house for a long time, but did not find that strange mark.

Secondly, this concubine cut her throat with a dagger and committed suicide.

This seems normal, but actually contains important information.

According to Anni, Xuanmen has arranged deadly poisons for the assassins. Once exposed, they will swallow the medicine and die in order to prevent them from being captured and leaked.

When Anni was captured, she had already taken out the pills, but unfortunately she was knocked out by Huo Annu, who was quick-witted and stopped it in time.

However, the concubine did not carry this poison on her body, but chose to commit suicide, which seemed unreasonable...

"Sir, sir..." At this time, Zhao Yu picked up the curtain and entered the carriage and reported to Xu Zunhui, "The people from the Neiwei Mansion said that the information about the Xuanmen you want was in Bi Sheng, the Zuoge lead.

"They said... there are rules in Bige's place, and no information can be taken out, so... if you want to read it, you have to go there in person..."

Um……

Xu Zun nodded slightly, which was one of the conditions he had asked Lin Chaofeng.

Since you want to capture the Xuanmen Rebel Party, you must understand the origins of the Xuanmen. Therefore, Xu Zun wanted Lin Chaofeng to provide him with detailed information, including the origin of the Xuanmen, the members of the anti-party captured over the years, and interrogation records, etc.

Lin Chaofeng naturally agreed, but she didn't expect to come to check it out.

"Okay," Xu Zun nodded, "I understand. I will go there after I have investigated these crime scenes."

"Sir..." Unexpectedly, Ashuzai picked up the curtain again and said to Xu Zun with a stack of information, "Sir, these are all detailed information about the assassination compiled by the inner guards, and they are all."

"good!"

Xu Zun wanted to come with these information, but he didn't want to waste time on the road. He had to understand the situation as quickly as possible.

"Sir," Ashuzai asked, "Who will we go to next? This is closer to the Dali Temple Minister Liu Jin's house."

"Okay," Xu Zun agreed, "then go to his house first."

"Yes!" Ashuzai exited the carriage and went to notify the coachman.

At this moment, there were two girls Huo Annu and Anni sitting in the car. After last night's tossing, the two girls were also quite tired and were resting on their backs with their eyes closed.

However, Zhao Yu was still energetic. After the carriage started, he said in Xu Zun's ear:

"Isn't the Censor of Dali Temple the position of Li Jinlou? Should it be a fifth-rank official?" He pinched his fingers and said, "The God-Catcher's General is a powerful general. I'll tell you, I heard of it when I was in the Zhao family before.

"It is said that the Dragon Captain is the most powerful master of the Divine Captain Division, and is specialized in arresting those thieves with high martial arts skills, so they often come to our Zhao family to buy news, hehe..."

Seeing Xu Zun being focused on checking the information, Zhao Yu smiled like a boring smile and sat down next to Xu Zun.

"Then..." Unexpectedly, Xu Zun looked at the information and asked, "Where is the special case investigation envoy of the Inner Guard Office?"

"Hey, I was about to say it!" Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves and said, "This is the first time I heard of this name. I would like to ask you what kind of rank you are?"

"Anuche," unexpectedly, Huo Anu, who was in the deep carriage, suddenly spoke, "There are six and a half days left in seven days. I don't care about the case, but I'm thinking about taking up my official position."

"Hey?" Xu Zun held down the information and asked, "I remember, among these victims, who has the largest official position and who has the smallest official position?"

"This..." Zhao Yu and others naturally couldn't say it.

Xu Zun quickly looked through the information. The biggest official position was undoubtedly Xue Guihua, Duke Liang who had just been checked.

The Duke of the Kingdom was a first-rank official in Daxuan and had the highest natural rank.

As for who is the youngest...

Xu Zun checked for a while and found that the Holy Capital Prison Envoy, the Holy Capital Transfer Envoy, and the Supervisor Censor were of relatively low rank, and they were all fifth-rank officials.

However, although these three official positions are slightly lower, they are all veritable poor people. Generally, those who do not have a tough backstage will definitely find it difficult to take up this position.

Wait... it seems... there is a smaller one.

Xu Zun turned to the end of the information and read a name: "Imperial Doctor Xu Chi... Tsk, what rank is this Imperial Doctor?"

"Um……"

As a result, Zhao Yu and others stared at each other.

"There are many types of imperial physicians," Anni said, "they have levels, too, right?"

"A Xiuzi!" Xu Zun lifted the curtain and asked loudly outside, "What rank is the imperial physician Xu Chi?"

"Fifth grade," A Xiuzai's answer came from outside, "Xu Chi is the Imperial Hospital to recommend it, from the fifth grade!"

The Imperial Hospital mentioned that it was the largest official in the Imperial Hospital, which means that Xu Chi was the leader of the Imperial Doctor.

But even so, they have to be ranked behind the prison envoy and three others, and they are the smallest of the victims in this assassination!

Xu Chi...

Imperial Doctor...

Xu Zun remembered what Lin Chaofeng said before. Among all the victims, only Doctor Xu and the Empress Dowager did not celebrate the festival.

Not only did they not celebrate the holiday, but they had a good relationship and were deeply trusted by the Queen Mother.

So... the Xuanmen chose to assassinate him, would it have any purpose?

seem……

Among all the victims, the only one who can enter Wanfu Palace and get close to the empress dowager?

Tsk tsk...

The more Xu Zun thought about it, the more he felt that there was something suspicious about it, so he opened the information and wanted to see what happened to Xu Chi.

And at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Liu Dong's voice came from outside:

"Sir, we're here!"

All right……

Xu Zun had to temporarily put down the information and get off the carriage.

But I saw a high-walled courtyard suddenly appear in front of me, and two stone lions stood at the gate of the courtyard. The stone lion has lost its luster after countless winds and rains.

"This is Liu Jin's home?" Xu Zun asked everyone.

"Yes, sir." As Xiuzai answered, a little strange appeared on his face.

Xu Zun didn't notice it at first, but after he walked a few steps forward, he found Hou Zhen and others on both sides and was not in a hurry to open the door.

this……

Suddenly... a familiar memory surged in my mind. Xu Zun then woke up and pointed to the gate and said in surprise:

"This...isn't this my home?"

...

...
Chapter completed!
