Ouyang Jie was sitting in the main hall, and the iron whip behind him seemed to be crossing his official hat.
He frowned because he had just received a reply from Zuo Qiuwu, the dean of Qinku Academy. There was too much information in it and he had to decipher it word for word.
He and Zuo Qiuwu have a personal relationship.
Many people know this and it is not a secret.
When the Central Empire was suppressing Pingguo, this was the reason why Zuo Qiuwu was able to escort Zheng Wulou Mingbi, a teacher in the academy, to surrender so quickly.
Of course, it is also because there are no clues that can point to Zuo Qiuwu's involvement with Ping Pingguo, coupled with the influence of Qinjin Academy itself, and the academy's consistent upright attitude, this special matter was handled.
Zuo Qiuwu's reply was in response to the issues raised in his earlier letter.
At that time, when he returned from the East China Sea, he was shocked to see an insect leaving his body. At that time, he was eager to participate in the suppression of Yi Zhendao and failed to investigate it personally. However, he also sent a message to more knowledgeable people in order to find out the truth.
He had entrusted people both at home and abroad, but Zuo Qiuwu was always more convincing in this regard.
"...This insect is so weird, but it doesn't have a name, and I haven't heard of it. People have erased the traces and hidden themselves from the world.
"...When I was investigating this bug, I seemed to feel a historical resistance.
"...Later I bathed my mind in the sea of learning, went to the Book Mountain to search, and read through the old classics. I found a fragment of a medieval chapter, which recorded this insect. The details are similar."
It has five wings and is as frightened as a human being's viscera, so its name is [human insect].'
"Also close to the scriptures of ancient immortal masters, the "Xianfang Jing" says: 'Fifteen-winged insects are dragged down the Milky Way. Strange figures are carved into the sky.'
"There is also a saying in "The Biography of Thousand Beauties of Various Countries", 'Emperor Wu played with the imperial concubine, and deceived the fearful worm into thinking that she was enjoying the pleasure of the boudoir.'...
"All these things verify each other. Although they are not entirely reliable, the long and short of them are combined with each other. It is a broken jade and a complete jade, which may be a proof——
"The name of this insect is [Human Insect]. It is passed down by the Yiluo clan. Its use cannot be confirmed. It should have the function of deception and can lead to heaven's secrets."
Peeling away the other contents of this letter, this is the core message.
Of course, with Zuo Qiuwu's style, I wish I could break one word into ten and use it, and there won't be too many pleasantries in the letter. It is nothing more than a process of searching for chapters, quoting evidence, and providing detailed evidence.
After reading this letter, Ouyang Jie could no longer sit still.
Human insects, Yiluo tribe, the direction is too clear!
He felt that there was a huge net that had been spread out on the sea battlefield. When he was fishing at Qiantang Junbolu in Jingguo, he, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, also touched someone else's fishing hook!
Or earlier than that…
The world is a game of chess, and everyone is in the game.
But in any case, subsequent investigation is useless.
There is only one place to go now, and only one thing to do now——
Central prison!
Although it had only been a few days since the day when the human insect got involved, in such an urgent situation, it had been delayed for a long time - the leader of Yizhen Dao, Dezhen, had already been executed. This was a great purge against Yizhen Dao.
, has entered the final stage. As the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, he can stop and sit here and read the letter!
He himself found other people to look up various information on the Zerg to no avail.
The search for the flying insect turned up no trace.
Zuo Qiuwu's reply came very late.
The most terrifying thing...may have already happened!
Just at this time.
Ouyang Jie felt something in his heart. He raised his eyes and saw Huang Shoujie, the leader of Daotai, in the flow of people coming and going in the hall. He just left the official room where he was and strode towards this side.
How should I put it? The person in front of me is indeed Huang Shoujie, but he is definitely not Huang Shoujie.
The body is still the same, but the movements, eyes, and even temperament are all very different.
The most obvious point - Huang Shoujie has a deep mind and is very good at hiding it. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he will never look at his boss so unscrupulously!
Why didn't you get to know Huang Shouxie well before you walked out like this?
In the eyes of a master-level figure like Ouyang Jie, who has been a criminal for a long time, this is tantamount to running naked in the city, which is very conspicuous.
In his experience in handling cases, there are countless fools who boast of magical powers, but are defeated by a word or a look - the fool never learns his lesson.
Instead of occupying his body, it is equivalent to replacing his body!
"The Zodiac!"
Ouyang Jie had absolute confidence in his own judgment and was very decisive in his actions. When this claim came out, he had already taken action. With his eyes filled with divine light and murderous will, he raised his head in the court.
But he also heard a cry of "Director Ouyang!"
Bang bang!
His heart suddenly beat.
Boom!
Suddenly, with the sound of war and drums, he suddenly became timid!
Then came the apprehension and hesitation.
His Tao body seemed to be divided into two parts, with one half going up hard and the other half going down hard.
I'm so worried.
Seven ups and eight downs.
Only then did he understand a fact——
The human bugs did not leave.
In other words, what left that time was only the image of the human insect, not the meaning of the human insect.
From the beginning to the end, the human insect's target was only him, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department.
No matter how much he checked himself, he couldn't find any problems.
Because the real crisis has to wait until now to break out.
Human insects are harmless to him, so he cannot detect them. What really wants to affect him is another existence that is not in front of him.
He suddenly understood what Zuo Qiuwu wrote in his letter - "When I was investigating this insect, I seemed to feel a historical resistance."
That resistance is real!
All chance encounters were planned in advance.
It wasn't that Zuo Qiuwu was slow in checking information, or that Ouyang Jie had too little knowledge, it was that his understanding of [Human Insect] could never have been obtained before this moment.
There is a kind of superior power in the dark, which describes such a process. It has its own boundaries that no one can cross.
No matter what kind of accident, it cannot affect its realization.
And isn’t this exactly the method of that one?!
When did He loosen the seal and release such a power that was close to a miracle?
There are thousands of waves raging in my heart, but my hands are holding the chair and I can't get up.
It was at this moment that he lost control, and Ouyang Jie's gaze was cut open by Huang Shoujie's gaze. His eyes were distracted for a moment, and the Taoist body that was about to stand up also fell down and sat back on the big picture representing the chief of the world's criminal prosecution department.
On the chair!
The officers of the Criminal Investigation Department walking through the hall only saw the two leaders in the department, greeting each other warmly, as close as brothers, and secretly sighed at the performance of the big shots.
Huang Shoujie strode forward and went directly to the hall to salute: "Chief Commander, you happen to be in the Yamen as well. I have something important to report to you!"
He just walked up to Ouyang Jie, bowed politely, and pretended to whisper. After a moment, he raised his hand and took off the iron whip that was enshrined behind Ouyang Jie.
"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's order and I will be responsible for this!"
Huang Shoujie made a formal official salute to Ouyang Jie, and then said: "Then I will not disturb you. You have been too exhausted during this period. Take a few days to rest and leave the rest to me."
He walked out with the iron whip, exited respectfully, grabbed the door knocker with both hands, and slowly pulled the main hall door shut.
Starlight and moonlight cannot penetrate the lights of the Criminal Investigation Department.
In Ouyang Jie's distracted eyes, the most majestic and majestic Yamen in the Imperial City's Third Division slowly closed its scenery.
The large government office was crowded with people, but no official dared to come near to listen.
Ouyang Jie was silent in his main hall.
The Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department personally told the Chief of Daotai about the matter. Who has such a strong head and can withstand the risks?
It is foreseeable that no one will bother Ouyang Jie for a long time.
Huang Shoujie thought for a while, took off the rope in front of the hall, stood in front of the closed door, and ordered: "Go two people and escort the criminal Lou Jiangyue over. I have been ordered by the headquarters to
Personally escort her to the Central Prison!"
Ouyang Jie, the dignified chief of the Criminal Division, possesses the highest level of cultivation and is the person in charge of the highest criminal power in the entire Central Empire.
Even a divine hero would not be able to kill him silently in Tianjing City.
It is absolutely impossible to control him like you control Huang Shoujie.
Even if they have the same conditions and the same opportunities, Ouyang Jie and Huang Shouxie have completely different weights, and the attention they receive is not at the same level.
It is already a very remarkable step to control him now and lock him in the seat of the chief criminal officer.
This is the core area, core location, and core characters of the Central Empire!
What Huang Shoujie wanted was not Ouyang Jie's life. The iron whip he needed for punishment was already in his hands.
Soon, two senior bailiffs loaded Lou Jiangyue into a prison cart and pushed her into the hall.
The prison van was also covered with a layer of cloth to conceal the appearance of the prisoner so as not to disgrace him.
Of course, the Criminal Investigation Department is not such a friendly place for prisoners... But after all, this is Lou Yue's daughter. Ouyang Jie personally went to Yushitai to pick up the prisoners. They did not need to carry them in sedan chairs, and they were already very abiding by the rules.
Huang Shoujie glanced at the prison car indifferently, and said naturally: "This is an official task assigned by the commander-in-chief, so there is no need to call anyone specifically. Just the two of you will lead the way. Let's go to the Central Prison."
This avoids the problem of not being familiar with one's cronies, and if one is really familiar with Huang Shoujie's cronies to accompany him, it will be easy to be exposed.
These eagle hounds have very sharp noses.
He added: "If there is any urgent matter in the yamen, please refer it to the other two Taoists first. If the matter cannot be resolved, just wait until I come back to deal with it. Don't disturb the chief."
All the officials bowed their heads and responded.
The two bailiffs happily carried the prison carriage into the official vehicle of the Criminal Investigation Department and drove the carriage to the Central Prison.
The "Three Imperial City Divisions" may sound like a system, but in fact they are independent and completely different. However, after so many years of cooperation with each other, they can be considered to know the basics.
Lou Jiangyue's identity and guilt destined her to go to the bottom of the Central Prison.
The carriage of the Division of Punishment was parked outside the Central Prison, the prison carriage of the Division of Punishment was parked at the first door of the Central Prison, and the two bailiffs of the Division of Punishment were parked at the third door.
The group of people was peeled off layer by layer.
On the lowest floor, only Huang Shoujie and Lou Jiangyue were walking.
The guard at the door, locked in a stone helmet, only told them to keep moving forward and gave no other instructions.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
The constant dripping sound is like cruel knife cutting.
The people imprisoned here are all being delayed by time.
In this darkness where you can't even see your fingers, walking down a deep and unknown road, only dripping will last forever, making people want to crush their own hearts.
Fortunately, Lou Jiangyue is a walking corpse, and Huang Shoujie has no taboos.
They walked forward slowly until, out of the deep darkness, the extremely thin and hunched Sang Xianshou emerged.
The emperor pardoned Lou Jiangyue's death penalty and gave him an unlimited sentence.
This of course cannot give a clear text command.
But Sang Xianshou, who is in charge of the Central Heavenly Prison, naturally knows the result and is increasingly able to weigh the weight of the contract.
After all, the Criminal Investigation Department is not a place dedicated to holding prisoners, so it is logical to move Lou Jiangyue to the central prison.
Although Sang Xianshou was not notified in advance, a Daotai chief personally led the prisoners here, so there was no problem with the rules.
"Zodiac Platform." Sang Xian Shouyin's pitiful voice sounded: "What a rare visitor."
"I hope I won't come by myself next time." Huang Shoujie looked at him and said, "The criminal has been delivered, please Mr. Sang to verify his identity."
"No problem. It's indeed... Lou Jiangyue." Sang Xianshou said.
"Then I'll take my leave." Huang Shoujie said and turned around. He came cleanly and left cleanly.
No one is willing to stay in the central prison for a long time, and the leader of Daotai is no exception.
Lou Jiangyue always lowered his head and hung his hair, motionless and speechless, as if he was dead, but he was still alive after all.
Sang Xianshou would not find it strange if he was used to seeing people waiting for death.
He just stood in the darkness, quietly watching Huang Shouzie leave, until he was sure that nothing unexpected happened, and then he put away the prison bell that had been tied to his fingers - of course, not for Huang Shouzie, but for anyone who came to him.
He will be sufficiently vigilant about anyone who comes here.
As long as the spiritual thoughts he transmits are interrupted for a moment, the prison bell will ring and the entire central prison will be closed. The highest alert since the completion of the prison will occur.
No matter when, no matter what happens, there is always the most adequate preparation here to deal with the most unpredictable dangers.
Of course, this danger never occurred.
He Sang Xianshou is just a gatekeeper.
It is really a troublesome thing for Lou Yue's daughter to be sent here. Not only can she not be tortured, but she must also be held responsible if anything happens to her.
Is the Central Heavenly Lao a sanatorium?
It's really hard to find a less painful place.
Sang Xianshou said "Hey", pulled the chain off Lou Jiangyue's body, and led her into the darkness.
The sound of chains, clatter.
The sound of dripping, tap, tap, tap.
Even in the deepest part of the central prison, it is not always dark.
At a fixed time every day, when the morning star lights up, light will appear.
What a coincidence, it's just at this time.
It was precisely at this moment when Sang Xianshou pulled Lou Jiangyue into the darkness. The night in Tianjing City ushered in the dawn.
On the dark dome at the deepest part of the central prison, there was a single ray of light, and it just happened. Through the narrow fence, and projected on the ground, there was a very beautiful "well" character.
Its beauty is not due to the glyph structure, but because in a sense, it represents the only hope of this place.
God doesn’t know about human affairs.
The moon in the well, what year do you know?
I don’t know how many years have passed.
Time chases dreams!
Like every year and every day in the past, the sky only appeared for a brief moment.
The word "well" has gradually faded.
At the moment when it completely disappeared, in the opening in the middle of the word "well", two Jingguo characters flashed. These two characters closest to Taoism wrote..."Feng Chan".
These two words come and disappear with the light.
Week after week, day after day, from past to present to future, it never changes, as if it were eternity.
But the accident happened today.
The word "as if" is very interesting, it means "seem", it means "as if".
But it seems to be saying... "Fake Buddha".
It seems that he is not a real Buddha!
So the feeling that seems to last forever cannot come true.
Huang Shoujie came here today and brought the iron whip that has been enshrined by the Department of Punishment for nearly four thousand years.
This whip was personally awarded by Jing Taizu Ji Yusu, and represented the highest punishment power of the Central Empire - regardless of the common customs, regardless of the royal family!
It is also...the power of this era and the voice of this era!
Before the word "well" was completely dimmed, the shadow of the harsh whip was just a horizontal shadow falling on the mouth of the well, like the shadow of a branch looking at the moon in a well.
So the two words "Feng Chan" separated silently and disappeared silently!
This is not the "Feng Chan" ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.
But——
"Zen" is "sealed"!
Thank you to book friend "May Love Be Immortal" for becoming the leader of this book! It is the 837th alliance!
