Chapter 47: Mission
Turning the corner, he did not return to the Xu family and went straight to the Yuelai Inn.
Returning to the Xu family it was already late at night, Liu Wu Xie continued to devote himself to cultivation, the investigation mission was like an uncertain sword that could behead him at any time.
The Great Desolate Heaven Swallowing Skill allowed him to have a transcendent dantian, unrivaled true qi, and a strong physical body, the drawbacks were equally obvious, the speed of breakthroughs, it was much slower than normal people.
All things have their pros and cons!
The sky is slightly bright, the entire Canglan City has a kind of wind and rain, the four great families of words and orders to prohibit the family disciples to minimize out, the investigation team today stayed in the four great families, from them to start the investigation.
Exhale a mouthful of turbid air, after a night of cultivation, the true qi is quite strong, from breaking through the innate four, there is still a long way to go.
"Family master, the investigation team entered the Song family first, start the investigation from them."
A piece of news was sent back to the Xu family, Xu Yilin sat in the main hall and waved his hand, the scouts continued to probe for news and came back to inform at the first opportunity.
Liu Wu Xie was practicing his sword technique inside the courtyard, his father-in-law told him to stay at home as much as possible without anything else, and not to go out for the last two days.
An hour later, the inspection group walked out from the gate of the Song family, Song Tianhao personally sent them out, the entire Song family breathed a sigh of relief, this time, the inspection group, representing the Great Yan Imperial Family, the leader was a flower-armored old man.
"Elder Kong, poor hospitality, please bear with me, when the investigation is over, Mister Pine will definitely sweep the couch, I won't delay you all, I hope the investigation goes well."
Song Tianhao bent his luggage, the flower armor old man surnamed Kong, his real name is Kong Yi, the great Yan imperial dynasty husband general big man, does not have any real power, but highly respected, because he also has another identity, the great Yan imperial dynasty today's crown prince's enlightenment teacher.
The other four people, there are military figures, the royal family, even the Imperial College has sent a person to come, the death of a few soldiers, once now is the Imperial College students.
Killing the enemy on the battlefield, thousands of soldiers died, would not be so laborious, this time is different, these stone broken army left the camp without authorization, after investigation, they embezzled ten million gold coins military expenses.
With such a big problem erupting within the Stone Broken Army, this matter must be investigated clearly, live and let live, die and let die.
If carrying military expenses to defect to an enemy country, it would be a great humiliation for the Great Yan Dynasty, and that should be the key.
"Song family master will be sent here, please forgive me for the disturbance!"
Elder Kong bent down and bowed, although he was a husband, he did not have the slightest stance, which was the most important reason for being highly respected.
Seeing the investigation group leave, Song Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief, none of the five people are old and refined characters, a slight mistake, fall into their full set, fortunately, the Song family these days, there are no disciples left Canglan City, the investigation will soon be over.
"Family master, the next place is the Wan family."
The Grand Elder came over and whispered, the Pine Family set aside their relationship, the remaining three families, each one of them was like sitting on pins and needles.
"I heard that the Xu family boy has returned?"
Song Tianhao asked, although the Formation Hall was stabilized, it was not fully restored, the materials that Liu Wu Xie needed had been prepared a few days ago, waiting for him to come and repair the formation, the fate of the Song family, had been tied together with him.
"Yes, came back yesterday!"
The Grand Elder answered truthfully, mentioning Liu Wu Xie, a trace of scorn flashed in his eyes, that day's knife, his heart palpitated.
"Organize it, tell the Xu family what the investigation team asked about today, word for word, don't let anyone know."
Song Tianhao suddenly made a decision to inform the Xu family in advance about what the investigation mission asked about, so that they could prepare for it in advance, and it would be a great sin if it reached the ears of the investigation mission.
"Family Head, this is not appropriate!"
The Grand Elder wanted to stop it, this was not in line with the rules, firstly, the Xu Family was ranked at the bottom, the Song Family was ranked at the top, and the order of this investigation mission was similarly divided according to the family rank, with the Song Family being the first to be chosen.
Secondly, leaking the news is equal to secretly tipping off the investigating group, if the investigating group knows about it, the Song family will be doomed.
"Recently, our Pine Family lacks a few weapons, send someone to the Weaponry Workshop to purchase a few weapons and return."
Song Tianhao waved his hand, turned around and walked into the gate, the Grand Elder understood and immediately arranged for people to handle this matter, at this time, if he directly went to the Xu family, wouldn't it be the most appropriate thing to do, to purchase weapons.
Half an hour later, Xu Yilin received an unexpected surprise, the Song family's investigation report was sent to him.
"The Pine Family intentionally leaked the investigation information to us, what kind of medicine are they selling inside their gourd?"
Xu Yilin hands a pinch, the report in his hands, turned into ashes, the investigation information inside, as much as he knew.
"Anyway, it's not a bad thing, we know in advance what the investigation group inquires about, so that we can be prepared!"
Deacon Blue could more or less guess some of it, for the time being, he was not sure, it was not good to jump to conclusions.
One hour later, the investigation group walked out from the Wan family, Wan Rongzhe personally went out to see them off, followed by a few Wan family elders, looking at the expressions on their faces, the Wan family had withstood the test, the investigation group hadn't found out anything.
Next stop Tian family!
After investigating for a full two hours, walking out from the Tian Family, it was already mid-afternoon, and the investigation team still didn't have any clues, the clues provided by the several big families, as well as their recent trajectory of activities, didn't have the slightest connection with Shi Baojun at all.
Before arriving at the Xu Family, Xu Yilin was already standing outside the main door to greet him.
"Late generation Xu Yilin, meet Old Kong ......," bending his luggage, he then arched his hand towards the several people behind him as a greeting.
"Master Xu is courteous, we are under orders, if we have offended, please bear with Master Xu."
Elder Kong returned the greeting with a big salute, and the group entered the Xu Family's main hall under Xu Yilin's leadership, the Xu Family's deacons who were outside, all rushed back, they were all to be investigated.
Each took their seats, Xu family deacons stood on both sides, waiting for their interrogation, everyone did not dare to breathe a bit, Xu Yilin, although he received the investigation report sent by the Song family and thought about how to answer, he was still a bit nervous.
"Xu family master, I'll ask you the first question now, ten days ago in your Xu family, what people have entered the Sunset Mountain Range."
Kong Lao did not speak, from behind him, a middle-aged man stepped out, a military figure, with the report provided by the Song family, not far from the report, this person was called Bai Qiu, serving as the position of the Ten Thousand Captain of the Heavenly Character Battalion of the Stone Breaking Army.
The dead Zhou Hu as well as the fifty Stone Breaking Army were precisely under his command, it was normal for him to be the one to ask the questions.
"Back to General Bai, recently our Xu Clan had three groups of caravans that entered the Sunset Mountain Range to transport resources and ores, this is their information."
After saying that, Deacon Blue took out a list and handed it over to Bai Qiu, on which detailed information about each person was recorded, including their family members, strength division and so on, the records were very detailed.
Bai Qiu read through it and the list was handed over to Elder Kong.
Among the characters recorded on the list, Deacon Chi had the highest strength, but he was only at the seventh level of the innate, which was not enough to deal with Shi Baojun.
Obviously they do not have the ability to kill Shi Baojun, it can be ruled out, everything has to be an exception, how can the investigation team cover up because of a list.
After Kong Lao read it, he didn't comment, and the list was handed over to the others for them to read it over.
One passes one, and finally passes to an eagle-nosed middle-aged man, looking much more carefully than the others, a drop of cold sweat slides down from Xu Yifan's forehead, the other few people he is not very worried, only this person.
His name is Xue Chunyu, he is an official in the imperial court, he serves as the minister of the household department, he is a member of the Xue family of the Imperial City, the Xue Yu that he met in the last coliseum is also from the Xue family, this time, the investigation of the Wan family and the Tian family is very smooth, this person can't be blamed for this.
"Master Xu, this list is not right!"
Xue Chunyu leather smile, ruthlessly slammed the list on the table, very angry, this answer, even Kong Lao was stunned, the four great families, but also dare not provide a fake list, Xu family like a rootless floating ping pong, neither bows to God's Capital City great families, not to mention any backing, in the face of investigative mission tracing, dare to deceive the top and try to fool the past with a fake list, this is a great crime of deceiving a king.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yilin hardened his head, stood up, and asked cautiously.
"As far as I know, your son-in-law entered the Sunset Mountain Range eight days ago, and only returned yesterday, am I right."
Xue Chunyu pursued, a cold smile surfacing at the corner of his mouth.
"Reporting back to Servant Xue, the investigation team investigated those who entered the Sunset Mountain Range ten days ago, your son-in-law did enter the Sunset Mountain Range, you also said that it was eight days ago, so it did not appear on the list."
Xu Yilin hurriedly explained that Liu Wu Xie's entry into the Sunset Mountain Range could not be concealed, so he simply admitted it.
The last time Shi Brejun appeared in Canglan City was half a month ago, and since then, there was no more news.
Liu Wuxie entered the Sunset Mountain Range eight days ago, and there was a slight gap in time between the two sides.
Qi Enshi of course would not admit that Shi Baojun was sent out by him half a month ago to plunder the Xu Family's veins, no one mentioned it, including the Tian Family and the Wan Family, after Shi Baojun entered the Sunset Mountain Range, he lost track of him.
When Shi Brejun disappeared, Liu Wu Xie was still practicing in Canglan City, and anyone who understood knew that the two sides were not related.
"Who told you that we are only investigating the list of characters who entered the Sunset Mountain Range ten days ago, you are deliberately concealing this person, could it be that you know of any news or is it that your Xu Family is deliberately harboring this person, Shi Baojun's disappearance, is it related to him."
This is nakedly pressing a charge on the Xu family, Bai Qiu revealed a trace of strange color, according to reason, eight days ago into the Sunset Mountain Range, indeed there is not too much suspicion, the four great families probably situation, before coming Qi Enshi has already made a detailed report.
The matter of Liu Wu Xie being a waste, naturally appeared on the list as well.
"Servant Xue, what do you mean by this, our Xu family has always been impartial and law-abiding, we have never done anything to harm the heavens or the earth, much less anything that would harm the Great Yan Dynasty, please respect our Xu family."
Xu Yilin raised his head, his gaze was rigid, it was still unclear why Xue Chunyu was targeting the Xu family, he must not get a little bit involved with the disappearance of Shi Brejun.
"What I mean is simple, let your son-in-law come out and confront him face to face, these eight days in the Sunset Mountain Range, what did he do, what people did he meet, there must be witnesses present to prove his innocence."
If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse!
Xu Yilin heart flashed through eight big words, nakedly impose a crime on the Xu family, this investigation, there must be an answer, if not, how to explain to His Majesty.
Just a breath of time, Xu Yilin figured out the key, in the end, they need a scapegoat.
Shi Brejun's mysterious disappearance was a humiliation for the Great Yan Dynasty.
This humiliation needed to be borne by someone, and if he disappeared in Canglan City, then of course he would be borne by the people of Canglan City.
The Wan family and the Tian family have tied up with the Xue family this big tree, naturally do not dare to move, the Song family and the Imperial City Li family close, before the investigation, the Li family is expected to have greeted, coupled with the Song family does not have disciples to enter the Sunset Mountain Range, the investigation only took less than half an hour.
The hall fell into a silence, Xu family deacons are not stupid, has heard the string outside the voice, a heart sunk to the bottom.
