"Yes, this is the working process of the Imperial Physician's Office," Tie Jing introduced to Xu Zun in the study room of the Imperial Palace. "Because the Imperial Physician can enter the harem and must take medicine, the supervision of the Imperial Physician is also very strict.
"The eunuchs and Jin Wuwei will accompany you throughout the entire process to monitor and supervise any medicines brought into the palace. Finally, there will be extravagant officers to test the medicines, so..." Tie Jing pointed to the location of the Imperial Physician's Mansion on the map, "There will be no such thing in this place.
Problem!"
At this moment, in addition to Xu Zun and Tie Jing, Chen Taiji, Dongfang Yaorao, Cai Kun, Zhao Yu and others were all present.
Everyone seemed extremely anxious because nearly half of the seven-day deadline had passed, but there was no progress on Xu Zun's side.
"Special Envoy Xu..." Dongfang Yaorao couldn't help but ask, "Do you think those Xuanmen rebels are going to be detrimental to the Queen Mother? You have been asking about the affairs of the Imperial Physician's Office. Do you suspect that they want to poison her?"
Xu Zun frowned and did not answer Dongfang Enchanting's question. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Eastern God, I am assuming that if I am a Xuanmen rebel and I want to initiate a catastrophe, what method should I use?"
"This..." Dongfang Enchanting shook his head, "Your hypothesis requires a premise. You must understand Xuanmen.
"Maybe... Operation Heavenly Tribulation is an assassination operation, but it just didn't achieve the effect they wanted."
"No!" Xu Zun recited the secret formula of Xuanmen with a solemn expression, "Go up to the Xuan to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their origin. Up to cut off the nine gates, and down to destroy the sycophants. Xuan has the way, and is infinitely mysterious; Xuan has no way,
You will suffer disaster!
"This large-scale assassination operation can at best correspond to 'killing the nine sects at the top and destroying the sycophants at the bottom'. And the heavenly catastrophe is their real purpose!
"Heavenly Tribulation is the highest calamity of Xuanjiao. If I want to initiate a Heavenly Tribulation, then I must kill the supreme ruler of Daxuan before it can be called a Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Ah!!? This..." Everyone was surprised, and Chen Taiji asked, "Then do you think they will take advantage of the Queen Mother?"
"There will be no problems in the Imperial Physician's Office," Cai Kun said from the side, "Especially Imperial Physician Xu. He has superb medical skills and a humble man. Our internal guards have already found out about him."
"Dongfang Shenzhen," Xu Zun turned to Dongfang Enchanting and asked, "Do you know the situation in Xuanmiao City? If all the Xuanmen assassins who escaped were hiding, where would they most likely hide?"
"You..." Dongfang Enchanting frowned, "There seems to be something wrong with your question."
"Impossible!" Cai Kun answered in the affirmative, "After the assassination, the entire Xuanmiao City has been thoroughly investigated several times, and any unidentified persons have been taken to Songzhou Prefecture for thorough investigation.
"Whether it is a shop, a house, a Taoist temple, or an abandoned house or a warehouse, no matter whether it is the princes, nobles, or the poor, no place or person is missed!
"Let me tell you this," Cai Kun said, "Including the imperial palace, the Imperial Household and other important departments have also conducted strict inspections.
"If those assassins hadn't left the city, they wouldn't have had anywhere to hide!"
"Isn't this a bit arbitrary..." Xu Zun asked, "What if they are hiding in a secret room?"
"Don't say it, it is indeed possible!" Cai Kun said, "But... they have to come out, right? Now Xuanmiao City has a curfew, and strict inspections must be carried out during the day. We have sent the assassin's shadow image to various checkpoints.
Once they show up, they can no longer run away."
"Yeah..." Tie Jing murmured from behind, "I heard that because the assassins are all young and beautiful women, all the temples and flower buildings in the Holy City have been closed down for rectification!
"Some people even gave it a nickname, calling the whole city to catch beauties..."
If it were normal, Tie Jing's words would definitely cause laughter.
But in the current depressing atmosphere, who can laugh?
"Hahaha... What a city-wide search for beauties!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the door, "This is a really good name!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Lin Chaofeng, the chief manager of the internal security, who came in.
"Manager Lin!"
Everyone quickly bent down and bowed their heads to salute, while Tie Jing suddenly looked embarrassed and regretful.
"All those present are the top smart people in Xuanmiao City," Lin Chaofeng looked at everyone and said, "Don't you all hear what Special Envoy Xu meant?"
When Lin Chaofeng said this, everyone looked at Xu Zun.
Unexpectedly, even Xu Zun himself was slightly stunned.
"We have searched the entire Xuanmiao City, but we have not caught the real Xuanmen assassin," Lin Chaofeng said, "Since we have not found any, there are only three possibilities.
"One is that the Xuanmen assassin has already escaped from Xuanmiao City;
“The second type is that they hide in a safe place and are difficult to find;
"And the third type is that they all have legal identities or are legally protected!
"Now..." he said, scanning the crowd, "the first possibility has been eliminated! Because we have searched the surrounding counties and found no trace of any assassin.
"And the second and third possibilities I mentioned may also be the same situation," Lin Chaofeng said, "that is, there is a traitor in Xuanmiao City, and the level of this traitor is not low!"
When Lin Chaofeng said this, everyone sweated on their foreheads.
"You... please don't think that Special Envoy Xu is a warrior!" Lin Chaofeng said with cupped hands, "There is nothing more important in this world than the safety of the Queen Mother!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
"Cai Kun," Lin Chaofeng ordered, "count how many people in Xuanmiao City are capable of protecting those assassins! Check them all for me. No matter how powerful he is, he must be treated equally!"
While speaking, Lin Chaofeng winked at Cai Kun.
Cai Kun understood immediately and quickly nodded in agreement.
"For the sake of fairness," Lin Chaofeng added, "you should search from my house first!"
"This..." Cai Kun nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zun smacked his lips secretly. If Lin Chaofeng hadn't added another sentence, Xu Zun would have thought he was looking for Xuanmen to be an undercover agent!
But now it seems that this investigation is inevitably involved in politics.
It is very likely that Lin Chaofeng went to find out the clues of the princes and ministers under the guise of investigating the case. As long as he has the clues, he can run rampant in the court without any worries.
My dear, you are such a bear, you are really an old fox...
Xu Zun cursed in his heart, that was not what he meant at all.
Lin Chaofeng's move was so damaging, he was treating himself as a gun! And it was also a machine gun!!!
Once the search goes wild, won't those princes, nobles and ministers have to turn against themselves?
In fact, everyone knows very well that even if there are Taoist traitors among the princes and ministers, how can they hide assassins in their own houses?
The reason why Xu Zun asked so many questions based on the map was obviously because he was thinking about how the Xuanmen assassin could contact the Queen Mother?
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, this seems to be an impossible task!
The palace was tightly guarded, far beyond his imagination.
If you can't get close, then you can only stage an abnormal natural disaster like those in movies and TV shows!
But... natural disasters are simply uncontrollable. There is a certain reason why Xuanmiao City was set as the capital of all dynasties.
There are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, so what else can Xuanmen use to carry out natural disasters?
At this time, Lin Chaofeng finished giving instructions and exited the study with great satisfaction.
well!
Xu Zun sighed and had no choice but to bow his head under the low eaves.
If you want to solve the case now, you must not offend the chief internal security manager. You can only let him toss it first.
"Xu Zun," Cai Kun said to Xu Zun, "I'm going to the front office to make arrangements. If anything happens to you, just send someone to notify me."
"Master Cai," Xu Zun suddenly called Cai Kun and said, "I have something to ask you now."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Cai Kun asked hurriedly.
"I want..." Xu Zun said seriously, "I want to meet that fake Qiu Yongnian..."
