Volume 4: Holy Capital Tribulation Chapter 264 Who is that person?
"This person used to be the Imperial College Master and the Minister of the Imperial Clan?" In the inner hall of the Zuo Neiwei Mansion, Xu Zun held a document and asked Bi Sheng in surprise, "He was later granted a title, but he is still in charge of the affairs of the Great Xuan Clan?"
"Probably not," Bi Sheng replied, "I told you before that this man has gone astray. How can the Queen Mother still let him take on such an important task?"
"Oh..." Xu Zun flipped through the information and asked again, "Why, you know the information about other people very well, but you still need to check the internal information about this person?"
"Because when this person was conferred the title, I had not yet entered the Inner Guard Office," Bi Sheng answered without hesitation, "and, this person is a member of the royal family. Without the Queen Mother's order, the Inner Guard Office could not investigate too much, so they don't know much about this person."
"Why..." Xu Zun asked again, "So many uncles and princes were appointed to various states, but he was left in the Holy Capital?
"Also, with such an important identity, why hasn't he been crowned king?"
"This..." Bi Sheng shook his head, "I just heard that he was originally a king, but because he made mistakes, he was demoted to a duke."
"Oh? What's wrong?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly.
"Well," Bi Sheng said, "as the head of the Inner Guard, I can't speak carelessly. You should ask someone else!"
"Okay, okay..." Xu Zun nodded and said, holding the information, "Then I will go ask Cai Geling now."
After saying that, Xu Zun turned around and was about to leave.
"Well, Special Envoy Xu," Bi Sheng suddenly stopped Xu Zun and asked, "You are so anxious to investigate this person. Did you find anything?"
"Yes!" Xu Zun admitted very seriously, "I suspect this person is the mastermind behind this Xuanmen assassination incident!!!"
"Are you... kidding?" Bi Sheng was surprised. "He's dead!"
"Big Leader," Xu Zun said very confidently, "Sometimes, what we see with our eyes may not be the truth!
"And if a person wants to find a reason to get rid of suspicion, then being dead is undoubtedly the best reason!!!"
After saying this, Xu Zun put the letter in his pocket, opened the door to the inner hall with one hand, and prepared to leave.
However, when he pulled it, the door was locked!
When Xu Zun turned around, he was shocked to see Bi Sheng, the Left Chamber Leader of the Inner Guard Bureau, standing in front of him.
His face was as gloomy as water, and his expression was melancholy, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.
"Leader Bi," Xu Zun instinctively felt something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean?"
"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it," Bi Sheng clenched his fist, making a mechanical clacking sound, "There's no door to hell but you break in!
"Xu Zun, you are not the smartest person I have ever met, but you are the one with the most sensitive sense of smell I have ever met."
"Shit," Xu Zun understood something instantly and waited for Bi Sheng to say, "So you really have a problem?"
"What?" Bi Sheng frowned, "Have you been suspecting me for a long time?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
"Wait a minute," Xu Zun saw Bi Sheng raise his hand and instinctively realized that this guy was probably carrying a hidden weapon, so he hurriedly reminded him, "I sent someone to inform you and came to find you. If I die here, how can you report to me?"
"Since you are so smart," Bi Sheng asked, "how do you think I should report to you?"
"Oh..." Xu Zun thought for a moment, holding up the information in his hand and said, "It seems that you didn't deliver at all.
"Would you rather die than protect this person? Do you think that killing me can really save him ?"
"Xu Zun, I'm not that easy to fool," Bi Sheng raised his arm, and a crossbow arrow appeared from his sleeve. "If you could really find out the truth, you wouldn't come to me to ask for information!
"Besides, you should have been able to stop the catastrophe a long time ago!"
"Shangxuan will destroy the aliens, and all gods will return to their origin." Xu Zun recited the formula, "I have always believed that Xuanmen has been able to operate quietly in the Holy City for so many years, and there must be people from their inner guards.
"It's just... I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Shangxuan will destroy the dissidents, and all the gods will return to their origin. Cut off the nine gates above, and destroy the flatterers below." Bi Sheng smiled cruelly, "I never thought that we would fail after so many years of painstaking planning!
"But..." He aimed the crossbow at Xu Zun, "I'll let you be buried with me before I die, which is also a way to repay those fellow Taoists!"
"Bi Sheng," Xu Zun remained calm and asked in a resolute voice, "Aren't you curious at all about how I saw through you?"
"Here we go again!" Bi Sheng sneered, "Want to delay time? I've been worried about this for a long time. When I gave you the information, I deliberately downplayed this person's information and misled you.
"In fact, with Lin Chaofeng's order, you could have taken the information away, but I insisted on answering your questions verbally in order to understand your movements and divert your thoughts.
"so……"
As he spoke, he shook his wrist and the crossbow arrow was about to be fired.
However, just as he shook his wrist, the door burst open with a bang, and several guards rushed in from outside!
The leader was Hou Zhen, followed by A Xiuzai, Li Xing and others.
"ah?"
Seeing that things were going badly, Bi Sheng immediately aimed at Xu Zun and fired a crossbow, ready to die together with Xu Zun.
However, Hou Zhen and others were all trained professional guards. Hou Zhen took the lead in holding a sword to block in front of Xu Zun, while Ashu threw a dart first and hit Bi Sheng's wrist.
Tu...
Bi Sheng's crossbow arrow was fired and hit the door beam.
"ah!?"
Bi Sheng wanted to resist again, but Hou Zhen and others rushed forward and captured him alive.
To prevent him from committing suicide, Li Xing simply slapped Bi Sheng on the back, knocking him unconscious.
Bi Sheng was a scholar after all, and was no match for the guards. He immediately fell to the ground and fainted.
At this time, the inner guards of the Zuofu who heard the noise rushed over. Seeing Bi Sheng lying on the ground in an unknown state, they drew their weapons and pointed them at Xu Zun and others.
"Stop it!" The next second, Cai Kun arrived with a large force and immediately surrounded the people from Zuo Mansion.
"Oh, I never expected this, never expected this!" Cai Kun sighed as he looked at the unconscious Bi Sheng, "Bi Sheng was promoted by the Queen Mother and is deeply trusted by her. I really can't understand why he would join Xuanmen?
"This person does not fight for fame or gain, and has worked diligently and loyally all his life. How could he be easily corrupted by the Xuanmen?"
"These are not the most important things," Xu Zun said, holding the information in his hand, "The most important thing now is whether we can catch this big tiger!
"Only when we catch him can the Xuanmen assassination case be truly resolved!"
"Xu Zun..." Cai Kun frowned and said, "Is it really him? To be honest, because he is a member of the Li clan, our internal guards have monitored him almost indiscriminately!
"It's not to mention that he is a coward, but it's true that he is physically weak. We have arranged for several imperial doctors to examine him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such evil ways!"
"Cai Ge Ling," Xu Zun said while holding the information, "Bi Sheng has just admitted everything. He deliberately did not give me all the information about this person because he was afraid that we would find any suspicious points on him.
"This person has not only served as a priest and a minister of the Imperial Clan, he has also served in the Sixteen Guards before. He knows all about the operation of the Imperial Guards' military camps and is very familiar with them."
"Then..." Cai Kun said worriedly, "Now that the Xuanmen assassination has failed, this person may have escaped, right?"
"No!" Xu Zun said, "He will definitely wait until the Xuanmen assassination is successful before retreating. Now that the Holy City has been sealed off, this person must be in the city!
"Besides," Xu Zun whispered in Cai Kun's ear, "We have missed several housekeepers before. We can't miss them again this time, right?"
