Chapter 761 Inspection

It was raining heavily in Fengri City, but the scorching sun was in the sky over the Imperial City. The ground could fry eggs after continuous exposure to the sun. The salesmen who yelled on the road almost disappeared. guest.

In this weather, people who are still hanging out at noon are desperate, and the bright sun will burn them to death.

But there are really many people walking outside under the scorching sun on the road. Either it is for making a living, and there is no choice; or it is an errand, which cannot be shirked.

Those who make a living are ordinary people, or people who suffer. And those who have to travel around under the scorching sun are public servants. For example, people from the Department of Major Cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

People with higher cultivation bases such as Xue Gui and Li Qing are better off, after all, they can rely on their infuriating masks to insulate themselves from most of the heat waves. Although they are very stuffy, they are much better than being exposed to the sun. And those with low cultivation bases, or those with no cultivation base at all, feel very uncomfortable. They can only rely on cups of herbal tea to cool themselves off from the heat, and their whole body can be soaked to the point of dripping in a day.

The death of King Jing completely led the "big test" to the later stage.

King Jing, King Qian, and King Lu, whom everyone was optimistic about before, were killed one after another. Now the strongest one among the remaining four princes is the seventh prince who was least expected before, King Ling Shu.

The remaining Shou Wang, Wu Wang, and Qi Wang, although these three are not weak, they will definitely not be the opponents of the current heyday King Ling in a one-on-one situation. That is bound to be another joint siege situation.

The first time when King Qian died, the emperor was still furious. When King Lu died for the second time, the emperor only asked questions. When King Jing died tragically for the third time, the emperor didn’t even have to ask questions. Law enforcement is gone.

The attitude of the emperor shows that all the fig leafs can be torn off at this time. The "big test" between the princes will also begin a bloody stage within a limited range. As long as you don't touch the people in the city, the fight between the princes is considered to be allowed by the emperor by default. But the premise is to stay one.

King Jing's death is fundamentally different from the previous deaths of King Lu and King Qian. That is, the impact is too bad.

King Lu died in his own palace, and King Qian died in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. To the outside world, it was just "it seems that a prince died". But the death of King Jing was different. Not only in broad daylight, but also on the street, the death was also a tragic death. Although there were not many pedestrians on the road at that time, there were still people who witnessed the whole process. This is the same as the previous two cases. It's very different.

Witnessing a prince's tragic death in the street is not a glorious thing anyway.

What's more, the topics of "I saw it with my own eyes" and "a friend of mine saw it with my own eyes" are definitely much more topical than the previous cases of King Lu and King Qian.

Of course, this kind of blatant assassination put enormous pressure on the Criminal Department's Major Case Division.

"You mean that King Jing was invited to drink tea at Fuji Tea House? Who invited him?"

"A luthier named Fu Ji. We saw the invitation today, and this Fu Ji should be just a cover, because King Qi and King Wu were also invited."

Xue Gui was sitting in a temporary arbor outside the tea house, facing Li Qing, the adjutant who had just completed the first investigation of the situation and came back to report.

The three princes meet together to drink tea and listen to music. No matter how you look at it, this is a private meeting under the pretext of "listening to music and drinking tea". There should be some important matters to discuss, right?

"Why did you choose this place?" Xue Gui pointed to the signboard on the teahouse suspiciously. This Bu Er tea house is indeed very famous in the upper circles of the imperial city, but behind it is the "tea" of the imperial merchant, and the actual controller of the "tea" of the imperial merchant is Ling Wangshu. Leaving King Wu and King Qi aside, King Jing and King Ling are probably in conflict, so why would they come here to drink tea?

Facing Xue Gui's inquiry, Li Qing replied: "Go back to your lord, I heard that the place was decided by King Jing."

"This teahouse appointed by King Jing?" Xue Gui frowned, his heart raced, and it took him a while to understand the twists and turns.

According to Xue Gui's idea, King Jing deliberately chose to meet King Qi and King Wu in King Ling's shop, the purpose should be a warning and demonstration. It means: You can take a look, what's the use of suing everywhere? My alliance is still reliable!

The results of it? As soon as he arrived at the door of the Fuji Tea House, five masters who suddenly came out cut his neck.

Seeing that Xue Gui didn't make a sound, Li Qing continued: "According to the memories of the staff in the tea house, King Qi and King Wu arrived first and drank tea in the innermost wing room, while the lute master Fu Ji also played a song to cheer up the scene. Wang came from behind. At that time, the man was standing at the door and saw King Jing's carriage from a distance, and when he was about to go forward to meet him, the murderous intent arrived.

The sightings are basically consistent with our on-site inspection. First, the Earth Protrusion Technique destroyed the carriage that King Jing was riding in, then the Earth Trapping Technique and the Soul Suppression Technique delayed the reaction of the guards following King Jing, and then three of the five assassins targeted the two royal guards close to King Jing, and another Ming used three flying swords to attack and kill the surrounding guards, and the remaining one went straight to King Jing.

After succeeding, the five of them withstood the three combined blows of the surrounding guards with the combined attack technique, and then broke out of the encirclement before being encircled, and escaped with the earth escape and the Qi restraining talisman.

At present, the entire city is under martial law, and everyone in the yamen who can run has been sent out to track down the murderer, but they haven't been found yet. "

As the saying goes, one can kill the King Jing who is under strict guard in broad daylight. The cultivation bases of these five murderers are unanimously considered to be the ninth level of the Yuandan Realm, and they may even be perfect, and they have extremely high concealment. means. When he was escaped at the time, it would be too difficult to find him out later. Li Qing didn't say anything, but she really didn't think that the five murderers could be found behind.

Xue Gui nodded. He personally participated in the on-site inspection. There is nothing to say about the traces, except for the magic remnants left by the five people on the scene. With a kind of eerie feeling.

This is not an illusion caused by Xue Gui's sensitive nerves, but a very common residual phenomenon of spells. It is difficult for ordinary monks to detect it, but people who have reached the Yuandan state and have perception expertise can distinguish the difference and clues.

On the one hand, the remnants of the spells are the remnants of the power of the world driven by the spells. For example, there will be water vapor remaining after the spell of the five elements of water is released, and the dissipating time is related to the strength of the spell. The stronger the spell, the slower it dissipates, and vice versa. In addition, in addition to the remnants of the power of heaven and earth, there is also the remnant of true energy or true energy of the caster who triggered the power of heaven and earth.

True qi or true energy energy is very different, mainly different from martial arts, Xue Gui can't detect the subtleties, but generally he still has experience to support it. For example, the normal five-element exercises, or some unorthodox enchantments such as Love Flower Valley, or the evil arts that are famous for evil, Xue Gui can generally distinguish them based on experience.

Xue Gui's feeling was gloomy and cold. He secretly thought that those five people might have used evil methods, or were they simply evil monks?
