Chapter 123 Assassin
Chapter 123 Assassin
Because of the magistrate Hong's recommendation, and the fact that Qingu had killed so many wanted criminals before, this Hou Futai valued Qingu's performance very much.
Therefore, she seems to have a lot of trust in Qingu.
Let's start with the current politics.
In the current imperial court, the old emperor originally appointed the eldest son as the crown prince, but later deposed the crown prince due to some incidents...
Now the youngest son, who is only six years old, is made the crown prince...
Seeing that the old emperor is about to die, what can this six or seven-year-old child do?
The result is nothing more than the dictatorship of the mother and the interference of relatives in politics!
Therefore, the former eldest prince's party resolutely supported the eldest prince, and other forces also supported a prince one after another...
In fact, everyone must support the prince who is good for them to consolidate their power and interests.
So these political parties fought endlessly in the court, and the battle gradually extended to the rivers and lakes.
Then gradually those sects came into being.
And these sects often fight back and forth over trivial matters.
Ordinary people will always be the last to suffer.
Ordinary people were affected, killed, or their property was destroyed. As long as it was said that people in the Jianghu did it, the government would have nothing to do.
Because if the investigation continues, the result must be that a certain sect is involved;
Check again, and it will involve a certain official in the court;
If you continue to investigate, a large number of people will be involved.
This is why the government finds it very difficult to do so.
…………
Hou Futai had a long heart-to-heart talk, but did not receive the expected outrageous response.
Qingu said straightforwardly: "Thanks to Master Hou's attention, but I'm just a warrior, I don't know anything about the court affairs at all, and I don't want to know, Sir just need to tell me about the wanted criminals, if I can help, I will definitely not postpone it. "
Qingu didn't know that the other party said so much, so why didn't she want to recruit her into a certain political party and work for it.
Qingu felt that the disputes between the imperial court and political parties have been like this in all dynasties.
She has never been in politics, and she doesn't understand the tricks involved.
Once a political novice like her falls into it, she doesn't even know how she was played to death.
What's more, since they are independent, they have their own reasons in their respective positions.
How can she judge who is wrong and who is right? Why do you want to kill someone whose political stance is opposite to yours?
Qingu can't judge those, but he can judge those wanted criminals.
She can still tell the difference between rape, robbery, murder and arson.
Seeing that Qingu was unmoved at all, Hou Futai's expression became a little cold.
However, this was recommended by his own students, and the other party was very strong and willing to work for the government.
Simply stop forcing him to join a certain political party, and took out a stack of portraits that are wanted by the government.
This includes the wanted criminals in major cases years or even decades ago, which is extremely difficult.
The perpetrator was never caught and the case remains unsolved.
Qingu asked to dig out the files related to these portraits.
The main reason is to collect more information for easy retrieval by Little Z.
These are all old cases, and the person in charge of the archives helped to search for a long time before finally finding them.
Three days later, Qingu took the portrait and started a new round of hunting.
This time, the people Qingu faced were not only vicious, but also real masters.
Fighting again and again, growing step by step.
Qingu finally reached the eighth level of Houtian, only one step away from the final peak.
Only one step away, martial arts can be turned into a skill, which can be collected in the skill warehouse of the space-time hut, and can be practiced on other clients in the future.
Qingu rallied and honed his martial arts even harder, improving day by day.
…………
two years later.
Qingu tracked down the whereabouts of the last wanted criminal, and followed the clues to this cliff.
In front of him was a towering middle-aged man in a white robe, with a face like a crown of jade, holding a suet white jade flute in his hand.
Qingu saw that the other party was extraordinary, and his cultivation was also on the eighth or ninth floor of the day after tomorrow.
I couldn't help but confirm with Xiao Z again: "Little Z, is this person sure to be the heinous Wang You'an who let go of the criminal and cast Gu worms, causing the whole village to suffer from a serious disease?"
Little Z: "...this person's attribute shielding is a bit high, and I can't find it out yet. But I can be sure that this person is definitely not Wang Youan..."
Qingu thought to himself, since it wasn't, why would it be him who came to the address pointed to by the clues he traced?
Then there is only one answer: the other party did it on purpose.
Qingu understood, and asked: "Your Excellency is so elegant and dignified, may I ask who you are, Wang You'an?"
The implication: You don't look like a bad guy, why would you help a wanted criminal?
The corner of the man's mouth was raised slightly, and his voice was light and authentic: "Who are you? Why do you want to track him down endlessly?"
Qingu: "So, you blocked me this time just because of him?"
The man raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency hasn't said who you are yet?"
Qingu: "Me? A person who draws his sword to help when the road is uneven, and takes it as his mission to eradicate the wicked in the world."
The man smiled contemptuously: "When the road is injustice, he draws his sword to help, and eradicates the wicked as his duty? I never thought that a professional killer who "uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and kills without batting an eye" can be so noble."
Qingu thought, if you want to ask me what kind of person I am, of course I can smear as much gold as I can on my face.
Qingu's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, you're here just to wait for me?"
It seems that this person knows her, or Shiqi very well, but it's a pity that Xiao Z's memory to retrieve Shiqi is limited, and there are many details. It is difficult to restore everything without personal experience.
Since the other party knew him so well, he knew that when he was a killer before, he only looked at the task and not the person.
But now she is doing things for the government, chasing and killing wanted criminals... Although it is the same killing, the meaning is still different.
But the man only said that she was a killer without batting an eyelid, which showed that the other party did not agree that he was "just" doing things for the government.
Man: "Half guessed right."
Qingu said, "What do you want?"
Man: "It's very simple. I know the whereabouts of the person you want to find, and I can take you there..."
Qingu: "And then?"
Man: "Then...you will know after you go there."
……………
Just on the other side of the mountain, Qingu saw Wang You'an who was tied up and thrown in a broken thatched hut.
Qingu glanced at the attribute value bubble above the opponent's head, and was sure that it was the wanted criminal he was looking for.
Name: Wang Youan
Age: 45
Charge: Using living organisms as gu poison experiments to cause a large-scale plague
Skills: Poison
Heaven reward: 50 merit points
It seems that the higher the crime value, the more merit points rewarded.
Unexpectedly, the records in the previously known case files were incomplete. The truth is: he was not the one who assisted another murderer to escape.
It was that the murderer was his accomplice, and he was experimenting with voodoo poison, because the leak of voodoo poison caused a large-scale plague.
