Chapter 1544 The truth about the previous generation of martial arts immortals
After listening to the conversation between Jin An and the old Taoist priest, Deputy Wei Wei, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, his eyes darkened and stopped pretending. He was about to bite the poison hidden in his back teeth, but his vision went dark and he lost all consciousness.
Jin An is not only a pseudo-fourth realm martial arts immortal, but also a pseudo-fourth realm spiritual master. Under his spiritual consciousness, everything is as clear as fire, and there is nothing to hide. No small thoughts can be hidden from his spiritual surveillance.
As soon as Vice Chamberlain Wei was about to make a move, his concentration robbed him of all his thoughts and he fell into a deep sleep and coma.
The turmoil caused by the Criminal Investigation Department tonight was too big. Many good people followed the Biuan carriage all the way to the outside of the Imperial City Square. Many people saw the scene where the Criminal Investigation Department forcibly abducted the nobles among the queen's close ministers, which once again caused a lot of trouble.
riot.
Are the Criminal Investigation Department addicted to arresting people tonight?
The spice shop chopped off the head of the ninth-grade chambermaid in public, which was not enough!
Then breaking into the residence of the academician of Taiyuan Hospital is not enough!
Now, in front of everyone, he was guarding outside the imperial city and forcibly kidnapped the nobles around the queen!
That is the Queen’s most favored chamberlain and deputy chamberlain!
He is a great eunuch from the fourth rank!
Not a ninth-grade eunuch!
From the fourth-grade eunuchs onwards, they would kidnap anyone they asked, and they would kidnap him forcibly outside the imperial city. They really had no scruples at all!
Next, will even the queen be kidnapped and taken to the Water Prison of the Criminal Investigation Department to be tortured to extract a confession? Of course, this sentence can only be kept in the heart, no one dares to discuss the royal family affairs in public!
It can be said that one wave after another happened. The news that the Criminal Investigation Division intercepted and kidnapped a noble member of the Queen's courtiers outside the Imperial City quickly spread throughout the capital with the force of a wild lake explosion, causing thunderous reactions among the people.
That night, the people in the city had almost no sleep, and they were all discussing the series of major moves made by the Criminal Investigation Department. Will there be any bigger moves next?
Just as people were speculating, a news quickly spread in the capital. Shenwuhou Qingjun had made a contribution and was summoned by Emperor Kangzhao. He was appointed as an imperial envoy to continue hunting down the old remnants of the enemy's country. He had the privilege of killing first and reporting later.
Marquis Shenwu was wise and discerning, and as soon as he was appointed, it was discovered that Deputy Chamberlain Wei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and had been taken to the Water Prison of the Criminal Investigation Department to be tortured and tortured by the old remnants of the party.
As soon as this news came out, there was another uproar, both in the imperial hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Has the imperial city been so riddled with holes?
The common people hated these traitors and shouted for a thorough investigation. They applauded and praised the Criminal Investigation Department.
It was a bit unexpected for the Criminal Investigation Department and the Five Zang Taoist Temple to receive such great support from the public.
I thought people would be panic-stricken. With the Criminal Investigation Department arresting so many people overnight, there would be many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
Unexpectedly, the voice of public support has soared.
This is also due to Jin'an's good reputation and his repeated solving of strange cases, which has laid a solid foundation for Jin'an in advance, so he has huge public opinion among the people.
There is nothing more desirable than this.
When the Biwan carriage entered the Criminal Investigation Division, not long after, the Criminal Investigation Division issued a formal official announcement, making the details of the case and the closed case files public to the public to stabilize people's hearts.
"Su Susu, the shopkeeper of Tiangong Miao Pavilion, colluded with foreigners, bribed the imperial doctors, promised money and beauty to seduce them, and refined the chronic poison rouge, makeup powder, and Shidai, in an attempt to use this covert method to harm all the officials in the capital and disrupt the country's foundation. God favors me.
In the dynasty, the conspiracy of the Dog of National Subjugation was discovered before it could succeed. Today, Su Susu, the shopkeeper of Tiangong Miao Pavilion, Cheng Baiqing, academician of Taiyuan Hospital, the mastermind behind Su Susu and other thieves have been executed..."
The notice board in front of the Criminal Investigation Department was crowded with people, scrambling to read the details of the case. Some people read it aloud for those who came after them to listen.
The Criminal Investigation Department posted more than a dozen notices to publicize the details of the case one by one. This was not only to appease people's minds and avoid panic, but also to deter the surrounding gangsters during these troubled times.
Jin An had just returned to the Criminal Investigation Department, and before he had time to interrogate Deputy Wei, Fatty Li, who was sent out by Jin An to investigate other clues, ran into the Criminal Investigation Department in a hurry.
As soon as Fatty Li saw Jin An, he opened his mouth and asked, "Master Jin An, did you really kidnap Deputy Wei?"
His eyes were darting around, and when he saw Deputy Chamberlain Wei's head being pressed by the old dog's ass, Fatty Li's mouth widened in shock.
After a while, he gave Jin An a thumbs up: "Cowhide!"
Even the empress's most popular ministers dared to be kidnapped, and the number one criminal inspector in Kangding Kingdom must be Jin An.
"Taoist Master Jin'an made a big splash this time. He blew up this deepest hidden fish for the first time!"
“It’s okay if you don’t admire me!”
Fatty Li was speechless and amazed, but it soon turned into depression. He was beating his chest and regretting that he had missed so many exciting events in the future.
However, the old Taoist priest did not forget to stimulate Fatty Li at this time: "Old Taoist, I was summoned by the emperor, and he said that he would build an archway for me, and personally carve a plaque with my words on it."
Fatty Li immediately wilted.
It made several people and one dog grin.
At this time, there was a criminal inspector leading a chamberlain, and the queen wanted to announce Jin'an's entry into the palace.
Needless to say, Jin An must be looking for someone to hold him accountable.
But after finally catching a big fish, how could Jin An let him go so easily before he could be interrogated: "Fat Li, go and help me deal with it. No matter who comes, they say that I am interrogating the remnants of the enemy country and focusing on serving Emperor Kang Zhao Qingjun."
, no time.”
Fatty Li was surprised that he dared to disobey the Queen's orders. Only martial arts immortals had such confidence.
After Jin An finished speaking, the demonic calamity in his heart was activated, and he immediately interrogated Deputy Wei's secrets.
Jin An: "You bribed the bone picker several times, sneaked into the Ghost Moth Mountain, and raised the ghoul Liu Yun. Are you the mastermind behind all this?"
"A few days ago, you were the one who found the bone picker to sneak into Feihe Mountain?"
"Whose descendants are you looking for?"
Deputy Chamberlain Wei has fallen into an endless cycle of inner demons and has suffered endless reincarnations for hundreds of lives. His face is sometimes painful, sometimes sad, sometimes crying, sometimes angry, sometimes frightened. When a person is hurt, his mind is the weakest. He replied: "The late emperor had an orphan.
, was buried in the Gui Moshan mass grave after his death."
I never thought that this matter would involve the late Emperor!
Jin An was stunned, then looked solemn and continued to interrogate: "The late emperor you are talking about is Emperor Kang Heng who suddenly fell ill and died more than ten years ago?"
Deputy Chamberlain Wei seemed to see a scene of a fierce ghost asking for his life, and was so frightened by the inner demons that he cried and shouted: "It's Emperor Kang Heng."
"Your Majesty, forgive me. It's not the slaves who want to harm you, it's the people of the world who want you dead! As long as you are willing to commit suicide in front of the people of the world and write the edict of abdication, the slaves will go and intercede with you and let them hand over the little princess and let her go.
The princess has a way out!"
Um?
The more Jin An listened, the more frightened he became, so he decided to enter the dream of Vice Chamberlain Wei to see what he had experienced during the inner demon tribulation.
As soon as he fell into his dream, he saw a bloody world where the sky was shattering and the sword energy was everywhere. A bloody man was covered in blood, with strips of scarlet muscles exposed. His skin was stripped off and he was covered in blood. He happened to be standing next to Deputy Chamberlain Wei and the one who appeared in front of him.
Deputy Chamberlain Wei was in front of him next to him.
Even though his skin had been peeled off, the eyes in his eye sockets were still blazing, frightening, and terrifying to look at, making him look like a demon looking down on all living beings, giving him a feeling of swallowing the sky.
Then he casually slashed out a terrifying and majestic sword energy and strangled Deputy Wei who was just around the corner.
Jin Anxin was startled when he saw such a terrifying bloody man as soon as he fell into his dream. He sensed something was wrong and withdrew from Vice Deputy Wei's inner chamber before the sword energy hit him.
Then immediately go check on Deputy Wei's condition.
As expected, Deputy Chamberlain Wei was so frightened that he was turned into an idiot by the terrifying bloody man who suddenly approached him.
Although it was just a glimpse just now, Jin An still recognized the sword energy as the martial arts immortal who had saved him in the corpse cave in the underworld!
The late Emperor Kang Heng was a martial arts immortal from the previous generation?
This news was so shocking that Jin An immediately summoned Fatty Li: "Fatty Li, tell the truth, how did the late Emperor Kang Heng die?"
Fatty Li looked at Jin An with a very serious expression. He glanced at Deputy Chamberlain Wei who was kneeling on the ground and crying. He wondered in his heart, maybe there were clues to the bone-picking case. The twists and turns of the cannibalistic bone-picking case were related to the late emperor.
related?
Seeing Jin An's seriousness, Fatty Li quickly replied: "He died of illness."
Jin An raised his eyebrows heavily: "Seriously?"
"You didn't lie to me?"
Fatty Li cried out: "Taoist Master Jin'an, you know me, Fatty. Although Fatty is usually talkative and occasionally seems a bit unreliable, he never dares to be careless in serious matters! Fatty, I am so grateful to Taoist Jin'an."
I speak with all my heart and soul, and I will never dare to lie to you!"
"Everyone knows that the late emperor fell ill and died!"
"However, there is also a folk saying that the late emperor suddenly fell ill and died when he was in his prime. The empress contracted the disease outside and then infected it to the late emperor. The late emperor suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and all the medicines and stones were ineffective!"
Jin An raised his eyebrows again and said in a serious voice: "The late Emperor Kang Heng was a martial arts immortal and died in the siege of the world's Shinto masters. Don't you know?"
"!"
Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest were so shocked that they jumped up on the spot and exclaimed in unison: "This is impossible!"
Fatty Li: "I have never heard that the late emperor was a martial arts immortal. If the late emperor was a martial arts immortal, it would be a national event and it would be announced to the world. It is absolutely impossible to keep silent!"
Jin An: "Thousand-eyed Taoist Lord, you used to be an incense statue in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing. You saw with your own eyes the battle between the martial arts immortals and the world's Shinto masters that took place over the capital more than ten years ago. The identity of the martial arts immortals is also
Isn’t he Emperor Kang Heng, the first emperor of Kangding Kingdom?”
Jin'an knew that the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Daojun liked to join in the fun, so he sent a ray of his soul to the watchtower of the Criminal Investigation Department to directly talk to the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Daojun.
Statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord: "More than ten years ago, this Taoist Lord was just a little Taoist with one hundred eyes in a dilapidated Taoist temple who had neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm. His soul could not even look directly at the former martial arts immortal. His soul was the furthest away.
They can only go twenty or thirty miles away. Even the evil ghosts they control can only move around the Taoist temples. They can't even go out into the mountains. They can only hide in the Taoist temples in the mountains far away and watch the capital city change."
Jin An looked around at the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord, Fatty Li, and the old Taoist priest. He could naturally see that they were not lying to him.
But all kinds of clues are related to the late Emperor Kang Heng.
The clues to his former savior were clearly right in front of him, but there was no way to find them out. The pain of hitting the cotton with all his strength and having no way to release his force made his heart burn with anger, his temples bulged, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more angry.
brain.
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility left. If the previous martial arts immortal was really the late emperor of Kangding, he was deliberately concealing his cultivation.
But something unexpected happened in the end, and the identity of the martial arts immortal was exposed, and he was besieged by the world's Shinto masters.
Jin An himself is also a martial arts immortal, so he knows very well how powerful the martial arts immortals can suppress the masters of the Shinto. At this moment, Qian Xinjie is frantically splitting his thoughts, and his thinking is constantly splitting to deduce various possibilities...
The old Taoist priest was still in the shock brought by the news and could not calm down for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he was dumbfounded and said: "Fat Li has a saying right. If the last emperor of Kangding Kingdom was a martial arts immortal, why would he
Wouldn't it be better to conceal it...to tell the world and show the might of Kangding?"
Jin An took a deep breath, his eyes flashing: "Because of the dispute between Shinto and Martial Arts!"
"Successive emperors have attached great importance to compiling history books, learning from history books, and using history as a guide! As long as we trace back the past dynasties, we can find that Shinto is afraid of martial arts, just like the battle between water and fire. Perhaps Emperor Kang Heng was worried about this!"
Jin'an's thoughts collided like stars rising and setting, and he continued to say with a stern expression: "What if we lived in a world where everyone believed in Shinto, and everyone burned incense to pray to ghosts and gods, and this cycle continued for thousands of years, and everything was peaceful... Suddenly one day, the man who had the power to dominate the world
The king of a country became a martial arts immortal. Emperor Kang Heng, who had thousands of mountains and rivers resources, was equivalent to opening up a huge arsenal. Then he promoted martial arts and suppressed Shinto. There were fewer people burning incense and worshiping ghosts and gods in temples, and martial arts halls were built everywhere.
And rise..."
"Maybe Emperor Kang Heng didn't have this intention, but if the people in the world say you do, you do, because letting the king of a country step into the martial arts world has shaken the balance that has existed for thousands of years!"
"Perhaps Emperor Kang Heng saw the powerful relationship here, so he chose to endure hardships. I don't know what happened later that caused Emperor Kang Heng to be exposed, and he was besieged and died by the world's Shinto masters..."
Looking at Deputy Chamberlain Wei who was frightened into an idiot by the inner demon on the ground, Jin An once again thought of the horrific scene he saw in the inner demon. That battle must have been tragic.
Jin An closed his eyes to collect his thoughts, and then opened his eyes again after a while: "After the death of the late emperor, the only orphan left behind, where did he go?"
Fatty Li replied solemnly: "He's dead too."
"Like the late emperor, he died of a serious infectious disease."
Jin An asked again: "Then where are their bones buried now?"
Alas, Fatty Li sighed: "Because all three members of the late emperor's family died of unknown infectious diseases, they cannot enter the ancestral site of the imperial mausoleum. The whereabouts of the bones are still unknown."
"But I later heard that he was taken out of the capital by a few young eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and buried in a random mass grave. Not long after the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came back, they also fell ill and died suddenly.
They are all miserable... Some say that they died of an illness, others say that the resentful spirits of the late emperor's family came out to harm others and wanted to find a scapegoat to reincarnate... These things were suppressed within a few days of being circulated. Don't forget to talk about the royal family and the late emperor."
Fatty Li carefully glanced at the serious Jin An, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "If Priest Jin An wants to know more about the late emperor, there are various documents from more than ten years ago in the Criminal Investigation Department's archives.
Files, maybe we can find some clues from the backlog of various files."
Um.
Jin An nodded and raised his hand to put away the sound-insulating wind beads. The surrounding air resumed flowing again, and external sounds also came in with the flow of air.
