Xu Zun did not expect that the fake Qiu Yongnian was imprisoned underground in the Internal Guard Mansion. Who would have thought that there would be a sky prison in the Internal Guard Mansion?
It can be imagined that the prisoners locked up in this place are naturally no small matter.
However, to this day, the internal guards have not found out the real name of the fake Qiu Yongnian.
Squeak...
As the heavy iron door was opened by the guards, Cai Kun led Xu Zun into a dark cell.
Since this place is an important place for internal defense, Cai Kun must lead him personally before entering.
To cover up the unpleasant smell, incense was burned in the cell.
Under the weak firelight, the disheveled fake Qiu Yongnian was seen chained to a wooden stake. Since he was missing an arm, one of the chains was directly tied around his neck.
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zun was almost unrecognizable, but he looked haggard and scarred. He had long lost his former high-spirited appearance and even lost his human appearance.
"Magistrate Qiu," Xu Zun came closer and called softly, "I haven't seen you for many days, but do you still recognize Xu?"
After hearing Xu Zun's question, fake Qiu Yongnian shook his head and opened his eyes.
One of his eyes is gone and looks like a kaleidoscope of colors.
Unexpectedly, after he recognized Xu Zun, he shook his head and hummed something.
"Look, this is the virtue!" Cai Kun complained helplessly.
Cai Kun had previously introduced the fake Qiu Yongnian to Xu Zun, who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused.
If you hold your tongue and say nothing when you are awake, and talk nonsense when you are confused, no matter how hard you use torture, it will be useless.
And as time went by, he spent less and less time awake.
Sure enough, Xu Zun tried to reminisce and talk to Qiu Yongnian again, but he just kept shaking his head, his eyes were dull like a fool, and he was mumbling to himself.
"Ahem..." Xu Zun cleared his throat and tried to drink, "Go to the Xuan to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their origin. Go up and kill the nine gates..."
He deliberately left it to see if the fake Qiu Yongnian would pick it up.
"Hehehehe..." Fake Qiu Yongnian suddenly became happy, "So you are also from Xuanmen!"
"Why?"
Cai Kun was stunned.
Before this, they had tried the Xuanmen formula countless times, but he had no reaction at all.
When I saw Xu Zun today, I suddenly had a reaction.
Xu Zun was also surprised and asked quickly: "What, do you know people from Xuanmen?"
"Huh...huh..."
Fake Qiu Yongnian's cheeks trembled, and his eyes seemed to reveal some kind of fear or disdain, but... he shivered for a long time, but did not answer Xu Zun's question.
"The Heavenly Tribulation Plan is about to begin," Xu Zun tried to ask again, "How are you, are you excited?"
As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian showed no reaction.
"Let me tell you..." Xu Zun approached the fake Qiu Yongnian and said, "I already know what is in the iron coffin! Do you want to know?"
After asking, the fake Qiu Yongnian grinned and sang a song: "The demon dragon comes out of the sea to make wind and waves, the wind and waves are more than three thousand feet high, Chikaku, Arrieta, Anua Nuguli, wow..."
"This..." Xu Zun was confused.
"This is a song of the Japanese people in the East China Sea," Cai Kun explained in a low voice, "We suspect that this person should be the Japanese assassin."
"Singing really well," Xu Zun asked the fake Qiu Yongnian a fourth question coldly, "Let me ask you, during the palace assassination fifteen years ago, how did those Japanese assassins enter the palace?"
"ah!!?"
As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian didn't respond, but Cai Kun suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Hehehehehe..." Fake Qiu Yongnian continued to sing with a silly smile, "The son of all demons comes out of the east, unwilling to accept the demon dragon as the king of the sea, crying for him, Lalita is over him, and the mini Gou Sangta is begging..."
Oops...
Xu Zun seemed to hear something about it, and it felt a bit like the language of a certain country in his previous life.
"Xu Zun, you..." Cai Kun wanted to ask.
However, Xu Zun made a gesture to leave before talking.
"What?" Cai Kun was even more confused, "Are you leaving now?"
After leaving the cell, Xu Zun said to Cai Kun: "It is futile to ask any more questions. First, he has only met people from Xuanmen; secondly, he is not from Xuanmen, so for us,
This investigation is of no use."
"No, no, no..." Cai Kun waved his hand and said, "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, why do you ask about the Japanese assassins fifteen years ago? Why do you ask this?"
"Okay," Xu Zun asked, "Master Cai, tell me how the Japanese assassins entered the palace back then?"
"It was the time when all the nations were coming to court. Those assassins infiltrated the Izumo Kingdom mission and killed the envoys. Only then could they get the chance to assassinate!"
"Is it true?" Xu Zun said, "More than a dozen assassins infiltrated the mission? Are they so easy to mix up?"
"Yes," Cai Kun replied, "I was the commander of the internal guards at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that all the envoys were killed in the inn where they were staying.
"Obviously, they killed the envoy and then pretended to be the envoy of Izumo and sneaked into the palace."
"What about weapons?"
"Weapons are all soft swords that can be hidden at the waist! Xu Zun," Cai Kun took Xu Zun's arm and asked with a frown, "Are you going off topic? Do you think that all our internal guards are fools?
"
"I don't know anything else," Xu Zun said, "but the assassination case fifteen years ago looks more like a catastrophe. If I have any doubts, I have to find out."
"You..." Cai Kun was speechless for a few seconds and said angrily, "Okay, in that case, I'll just order someone to bring you the fifteen-year files later!
"You are absolutely wasting your time, wasting your precious time!"
…
Late that night, even though Xu Zun was lying on Ku Niang's lap, he still couldn't sleep.
"Kuniang," Xu Zun habitually buried himself in Kuniang's arms and said, "I'm really confused this time!
"I finally understand a truth. Since the entire Daxuan Royal Court has mobilized and tried their best, but still can't find those Xuanmen rebels, then why can I find them?
"I'm beginning to suspect that Xuanmen's disaster plan may have been shelved!
"According to the law of the development of affairs, their plan should be to first use large-scale assassinations to cause chaos, and then take advantage of the chaos to carry out natural disasters.
"But right now...it doesn't seem to have achieved their ideal results.
"But if you think so, it still means that the catastrophe is still there!" Xu Zun said worriedly, "Especially, those female assassins disappeared mysteriously, I feel that there must be a demon inside.
"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun buried his head in Ku Niang's arms and said sadly, "My life is enough, as if I have been blessed, so why can't I do some small things?
"But...it's not absolute to say that I have no clue at all.
"Through the current investigation, I have discovered something that has been ignored by others," Xu Zun finally caught the meaning of sleepiness and said tiredly, "Are these seventeen victims themselves clean?
"I suspect that there are people here from the Xuanmen. Their murders may have been murders and silences, but they were covered up by other assassinations...
