Chapter 1547 The friendship between life and death, Jin'an condolences to the old King Ling
As Fatty Li said, the death of King Lao Ling soon caused a huge sensation in the capital.
This is not only related to the death of the prince, the whole country mourns.
It even involves death in the fourth realm!
The first fallen strongman of the fourth realm!
One can imagine how big of a storm this incident caused in both secular and spiritual circles!
That is the fourth realm!
Not the third realm!
Before the Four Symbols of the End of Heaven and Jedi are broken, the third is the pole. How many prodigies and phoenixes, giants and old monsters in seclusion are eager to one day break through the fourth realm, break through the limits of life and death, and the limits of the shackles of the world, jump out of the fish pond, and soar ten
Thousands of miles away, you can travel freely and travel a wider world.
That is the goal that everyone strives for all his life! For several lifetimes!
It would have been an unattainable daydream before!
Suddenly one day, you tell those people in the sea of suffering that the fourth realm is not invincible. As soon as the shackles of the world are broken, as soon as someone breaks through the fourth realm, they are immediately cut off!
The avenue that I have been pursuing so hard was suddenly mercilessly cut off one day. This kind of blow to the heart, shock to the soul, and deterrence to the soul cannot be described in words. It was a blow to the worldview that had been around for thousands of years like a dream and a bubble.
Broken emptiness!
This is not to say that the fourth realm cannot fall, but that as soon as the shackles of the world are broken, many people are still immersed in the joy and shock brought by the fourth realm, and soon a strong man from the fourth realm will fall! And this person who fell.
, he is also a well-known big shot, the elder of Tianshi Mansion, a top powerhouse who has been famous for a long time!
The fact that King Lao Ling entered the fourth realm cannot be concealed, because too many people in the entourage saw the scene of King Lao Ling holding up the clouds to break through, so when they heard that King Lao Ling had fallen, they immediately thought of it
Fall to the fourth realm!
Whether it was the fall of a strong man in the fourth realm or the death of Old King Ling, the news was too shocking. On the first day, half of the hot spots in Jin'an in the capital were taken away by the death of Old King Ling.
The focus of people's attention shifted from Jin'an to King Lao Ling.
Jin'an killed the ministers, ransacked the residences of the academicians of the Imperial Hospital, and kidnapped the nobles around the queen...these influences were limited to the secular world.
But the death of King Lao Ling shocked the secular world and the spiritual world, which is why the scope of influence spread so quickly.
Pieces of information were passed into the Criminal Investigation Department like snowflakes, then classified, and finally presented to Jin An.
This information is the latest reaction of the people of the capital, important figures, and various forces to the death of Old Ling Wang, as passed back by informants from all over the capital.
It also includes Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion.
Now the threshold of Tianshi Mansion and Prince Ling's Mansion is almost trampled to pieces by mourners. Even the princes came to the mansion to express their condolences immediately.
In the eyes of these princes, this is the best time for them to express their stance, win the favor of Tianshi Mansion, and win over Tianshi Mansion to join their side.
It's exactly what I said: If there is no benefit, don't start early.
The fall of a strong man in the fourth realm is a heavy blow to an empire. Now the whole city is in a storm, and everyone is speculating about the cause of the death of Old King Ling. Could it be that he was besieged by the great witch master of the Prairie Khanate? Are there any other accomplices of Cheng Baiqing lurking in the capital?
?
Therefore, the informants placed in various places by the Criminal Investigation Department have taken the initiative to carry out investigations without the need of orders from their superiors, and passed encrypted information like snowflakes to Jin An, the Criminal Investigation Department, to help Jin An solve his problems.
What's more, there is also the story of "the friendship between Jin and Luo".
Everyone knows that Jin'an and the Tianshi Mansion have a deep friendship, which is a brotherly relationship, so whether it is public or private, it is reasonable for the subordinates to take the initiative to help their commanders and solve their problems.
If they knew that Old King Ling died at the hands of their commander, and that the whole family was killed by their commander himself, I don't know what the officials in the Criminal Investigation Department would think.
Jin An, instead of blaming this flattering behavior, praised him very much, which shows that the Criminal Investigation Department operates efficiently and accurately controls intelligence from all over the capital.
It just so happens that it can also help him hide his eyes from others.
Just after learning about the death of King Lao Ling, the Criminal Investigation Department immediately ran the Intelligence Department efficiently to spy on intelligence from various places and help Old Ling Wang find his enemies. Who knows about the brotherhood between the Criminal Investigation Department and the Tianshi Mansion?
"When I change into official uniform, Fatty Li will come with me." Jin An put down the intelligence letter in his hand and started to walk out.
"Where to go?" Fatty Li didn't react for a moment.
Jin An: "Since all the officials in the capital have gone to Prince Ling's Mansion to express their condolences, and they are all colleagues in the court, how can I not express my feelings and persuade the Tianshi Mansion to be sad and amenable to change? People who die cannot be resurrected."
ah?
oh.
Fatty Li ran quickly to keep up.
As he ran, he murmured in his heart, if Taoist Jin An went to Prince Ling's Mansion to express his condolences, something might happen...
Only Fatty Li in the Criminal Investigation Department truly understands the relationship between Jin'an and the Tianshi Mansion, as well as Old King Ling. They are real life-and-death friends, and it's either you who die or I live...
The old dog who likes to join in the fun also wanted to follow, but Jin An glared back: "You haven't made up for the fact that you were riding on the Feng Shui Turtle of the Criminal Police Division, you haven't redressed the people's grievances, and you haven't helped the people solve a hundred cases, you're not allowed to go anywhere."
The old dog started acting again, lifting one front leg to pretend to be lame, and howling in pain.
The rest of the Criminal Investigation Department were astonished at what they saw. The Commander-in-Chief was indeed an extraordinary person. All the pets raised by the Five Zang Taoist Temple were understanding of human nature and spirit.
The Bifan carriage was traveling again, causing quite a stir in the capital. People thought that the Criminal Investigation Department had another big case to handle, so they followed to watch the fun.
Fatty Li put down the curtain: "Today, the public's enthusiasm for you, Taoist Jin'an, is not as lively as the past few days. Many people are discussing the death of old King Ling."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you have never seen the scene a few days ago. There were thousands of people in the streets, just to get a copy of the strange story about solving the case related to you. Even the booksellers from the north and the south were fighting for you, Taoist Jin'an."
"In the past, I only heard about women fighting for favor. A group of five big men and three big men started fighting over you, Taoist Jin'an. It was a strange story through the ages. In those days, the people in the city were doing nothing else but talking about you, Taoist Jin'an.
.But the heat has dropped a lot today. The sudden news of the death of Lord Ling from the Tianshi Mansion was so sudden that the whole world was shocked."
Fatty Li was very excited when he talked about the fight between the northern and southern study rooms for the publication of Jin'an. He was writing back and forth with his hands and feet, just to watch the excitement and not think it was a big deal.
Jin An also put down the curtains to isolate the noisy sounds in the market: "In fact, the Tianshi Mansion has long known about the death of the old King Ling."
ah?
Fatty Li looked at him in confusion.
Knock, knock, knock——
Jin An tapped the solid wood armrest of the seat with his fingertips, and said in a cold voice: "Great sects like these have soul tablets or soul lamps to detect the safety of people who go out at any time. If a person dies, the lamp will go out."
"In fact, as early as the first day after Old King Ling's death, the soul card left by Old King Ling in the Tianshi Mansion had been broken. The Tianshi Mansion had already learned about the death of Old King Ling on the first day."
Fatty Li's mouth opened in surprise, and Jin An continued to say indifferently: "I guess the Tianshi Mansion has been concealing the death of Old King Ling, probably because of three concerns."
"First, I don't want to be the laughing stock of the world. The majestic Tianshi Mansion, one of the three holy places in the world, was the first to fall to the fourth realm. How will the world view Tianshi Mansion in the future? This has shaken the reputation of Tianshi Mansion among the people.
The fundamentals of this are something that the Tianshi Mansion will never tolerate."
"Second, everyone knows that the old King Ling of the Tianshi Mansion has entered the fourth realm. Why not continue to raise the banner and seek more benefits for the Tianshi Mansion in this chaotic world of great strife, or in other words, strive for more
More time."
"Third, maybe they also used this to lure out the real murderer of King Lao Ling, and secretly observed who was most likely to kill King Lao Ling."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, how did you know that Old King Ling was already dead..." Fatty Li suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widened like bull's eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely shocked.
Having been in the Criminal Investigation Department for such a long time, he is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very shrewd as he often interacts with all kinds of people in the world. He already has a very scary suspicion in his mind.
Fatty Li felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn't help but shudder, and said with trembling lips: "Taoist Master Jin'an..."
"I……"
Fatty Li was so shocked that he couldn't say a single word.
Jin An nodded lightly.
Although Fatty Li has not finished what he said, everything is silent at this moment. This is the tacit understanding among smart people.
Fatty Li gathered his thoughts for a while, and then said with emotion: "Taoist Jin'an and the Tianshi Mansion are indeed close friends of life and death. Taoist Jin'an, if you go to Prince Ling's Mansion to express your condolences to the old Prince Ling today, it will definitely touch the heart and make people cry."
As for who will be moved to tears, only God knows.
"Since the Tianshi Mansion wanted to conceal the death of Lord Ling, why did it make it public now?" Fatty Li asked in confusion.
Jin An sneered and said nothing.
The reason is very simple, because it wants to divide people's hearts.
Now he has shown signs of great achievements, the people support him, and tens of thousands of people are scrambling for books on the buyout case. Now his word "Jin'an" represents the aspirations of the people.
Some people don't want to see the situation develop like this anymore, so they try their best to interrupt it and suppress his limelight. They can no longer let the situation develop like this.
He didn't announce it sooner or later, but he chose to announce the death of King Lao Ling at this time. The intention of suppressing it was too obvious.
As for who wants to suppress him?
Don’t you want to see people’s hearts continue to lean towards him?
Perhaps it was some Shinto masters who were wary of his martial arts status.
Or maybe he is the one who is afraid that he will achieve great results.
Or maybe two parties with a common goal join forces to suppress it.
He is now at the height of his popularity. If he wants to interrupt people's hearts, divide people's attention on him, and gradually forget about his popularity, that is, he can cause a big earthquake in the secular world and expand his scope of influence in the shortest time.
There is news of the death of King Lao Ling.
…
The official residence of King Lao Ling is located on Wangfu Avenue outside the Dragon Gate of the inner city.
Before the Bi'an carriage approached Prince Ling's Mansion, it was blocked from the main avenue of the Prince's Mansion and could not enter. It was not that some blind people dared to stop the people from the Criminal Investigation Department, but the news of the old Prince Ling's death was too sudden, and there were many more people at once.
People came to express their condolences.
No matter how spacious the street is, with several carriages lined up side by side, it is normal for the prominent dignitaries in the capital to ride carriages and gather on Wangfu Avenue, causing congestion.
Afterwards, Jin An got off the carriage and asked the people from the Criminal Investigation Department to wait outside the Wangfu Avenue to help him take care of the Biwan carriage. He took only Fatty Li and walked to Prince Ling's Mansion.
During the walk, he met many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government who, like him, got off the car and walked to the residence of King Lao Ling, including civil and military officials.
As soon as these officials saw Jin'an, their expressions changed drastically. After saying hello in a hurry, they left in a hurry, eager to stay away from Jin'an.
Jin An is now addicted to arresting people. Both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital have fallen into Jin An's hands this time. Those below the fourth grade will not even dare to take a breath when standing in front of Jin An.
Even the favored eunuchs around the queen can be tied up at will. I heard that the queen sent people to the Criminal Investigation Department several times to request people but failed. Who dares to raise eyebrows at this time?
They all wished that Jin An would let them go as if they were a ball of air and not keep an eye on them.
The imperial hospital almost poisoned the sage. Now the sage, Long Yan, is furious and has abnormal moods and moods. Everyone in the court is in danger, and they have a profound understanding of what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.
Being targeted by Jin An at this time, even if he is found innocent in the end, but if he is reported to the Holy Lord by a traitor, he will not be able to explain it clearly with ten mouths.
So the best thing to do is to stay away from Jin'an.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, I don't understand something. Why did you put on the uniform of a criminal prosecutor today to express your condolences to Prince Ling?" Fatty Li asked in a low voice as he saw the officials in the capital running away from Jin'an like a tiger.
Jin An explained calmly: "I changed out of the Wu Zang Taoist robe and put on the official uniform, which means that today I am not mourning the old King Ling as a person, nor as the leader of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, but as a court."
Condolences to the old King Ling."
Fatty Li fell into thinking.
…
When Jin An walked to Prince Ling's Mansion, the place was already hung with white silk and white paper lanterns and filled with words of dedication. Before anyone could get closer, he heard the servants of Prince Ling's Mansion kneeling at the door, wiping away their tears and crying to welcome the guests.
What a touching scene of deep love between master and servant.
Jin An's arrival was so conspicuous that wherever he passed, civil and military officials avoided him, leaving a large open space. As soon as he arrived at Prince Ling's Mansion, the steward of Prince Ling's Mansion in mourning clothes came out to greet him and took him all the way to the mourning hall.
There is a coffin in the mourning hall, and there is a portrait of King Lao Ling during his lifetime. In the portrait, King Lao Ling is wearing a royal robe, with a bright black fox fur cloak behind him flying like a black dragon in the wind and clouds. His figure is as tall and straight as a spear, with a mighty air and deep eyes.
He has the majesty of an overlord.
King Lao Ling was killed by Jin An himself, and he destroyed the body with his own hands. It is conceivable that the coffin was empty and was a tomb.
Beside the coffin, a large group of filial family members were sobbing and kneeling. There were many wives and concubines of Prince Ling, and there were only a dozen or so children.
The daughters are all grown up, some are waiting to be married, some are already married women, and the remaining few young sons and daughters are not as tall as a chariot wheel.
The only two talented sons of the old Prince Ling died in the hands of Jin An, and now the Prince Ling's Mansion has no successors.
"Marquis Shenwu has arrived." As the voice of the old housekeeper of Prince Ling's mansion came into the mourning hall, the air suddenly became quiet, and the eyes of the guests who came to express their condolences all focused on Jin An.
Nowadays, Jin'an has been able to intimidate people with its name alone, and has the supreme power to overwhelm the civil and military officials of the Beijing Dynasty and all the masters of Shinto.
Jin An came to express his condolences in official uniform today. His eyes were like stars, his forehead was bright with a golden seal, as if a divine light was shining between his eyebrows, and his body exuded a righteous energy to ward off evil. The prison-controlling majesty of the Criminal Inspector's official uniform, and
Coupled with his righteousness to ward off evil, he is upright, and his pupils are like thunder and cold lightning. When he appears, he carries a breathtaking aura that makes people dare not look directly at him, including the fifth prince, the seventh prince and several other princes.
Inside.
All civil and military officials were wary of his status as an imperial envoy.
The Shinto masters were wary of his martial arts skills.
As soon as Jin An arrived at the mourning hall of Prince Ling's Mansion, he didn't even say a word. Just three words, Shen Wuhou, suppressed the secular world. Most people in the spiritual world could not raise their heads, avoided looking at each other, and did not dare to look at each other.
Among the people who came to express condolences, there were many familiar faces. Jin An saw the elders of Yujing Jinque, including Zhenren Chiyuan, Zhenren Xuanlei, and Uncle Lin.
I saw people coming from Zhenguo Temple, including Master Xu Xing and Master Jing Chan.
Jin An nodded one by one.
The Tianshi Mansion had the most experts coming, and he finally saw all the elders of the Eight Scenery Sects of the Tianshi Mansion gather together for the first time...
