Chapter 172: Ironclad Evidence (Subscription Request)

What is supposed to come, will come.

With so many major events happening in Longzhou, the imperial court cannot allow reports to be made at lower levels. It will definitely send an investigation team to verify the truth.

But Chu Wujiang didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo would come to Longzhou in person and take charge of Taodu.

Zhiping continued to explain:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the Duke of Zhenguo and Xiang Taifu, one principal and one deputy, jointly investigate the case of the Xuanqiong star official taking over the body."

"At the same time, find out how the evil god invaded and eradicate the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

"I just received an urgent report that the Duke of Zhenguo personally led a team to uncover the conspiracy of the Demon God Palace to create the [Flying Yaksha], and at the same time killed the second elder of the Demon God Palace, Dugu Chou, and wiped out the Demon God Palace's branch in Longzhou in one fell swoop, gaining countless rewards."

Chu Wujiang took a breath of cold air.

Although the Mandate of Heaven was in decline, the court's ability to intervene was enough to scare the rebels.

In order to resolve the situation in Longzhou, the imperial court sent four or five Yuanshen Zhenren, who all arrived in a short period of time and suppressed the situation.

Yuanshen Zhenren needs to guard the key places, but as long as the nine evil demons cause trouble, they can respond positively and work together to suppress it.

Zhiping Jushi seemed to be shocked by the court's decisiveness this time. He continued to explain:
"Within three days, the Duke of Zhenguo will come to Longcheng in person."

"Lord Longcheng must be cautious. Master Xiang reminded me that the Duke of Zhenguo does not believe that the Xuanqiong Star Officer has been possessed by someone."

"He even thought it was a dirty murder."

"The Duke of Zhenguo strongly requested that Master Dafan come to Tianjing to be tried by the three judges to check whether he is colluding with the Demon Palace."

Mr. Zhiping is a Yuanshen Zhenren, so he can naturally maintain communication with the top management of Yuanji Academy over a long distance.

When Chu Wujiang was still in Yinfeng Cave, he learned the news of Xuanqiong Star Official's death and held the same view as Chu Wujiang.

Who could have thought that the Duke of Zhenguo would turn the tables!
"The Xuanqiong Xingguan was possessed by the Master of the Ten Thousand Ghosts and gave birth to an evil god. The evidence is irrefutable. How could he slander the Great Brahma Master?"

"Can the Duke of Zhenguo be so unreasonable?"

"If we really want to frame Xuanqiong Xingguan, wouldn't it be better to directly classify him as colluding with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?"

Chu Wujiang's face changed slightly, and he immediately retorted.

He had long anticipated that the death of Xuanqiong Star Official would trigger a political storm.

But Chu Wujiang was not afraid.

The reason is simple, he didn't kill the person.

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to find someone to blame, he could only go to Master Dafan. What does it have to do with him, Chu Wujiang?
And Master Dafan is a True Person of Yuanshen, and a True Person of Yuanshen has privileges.

Taken together, nothing happened.

Now it seems that he was only half right.

The Duke of Zhenguo did not come to cause trouble for Chu Wujiang. His purpose was to bring down Master Dafan directly.

Chu Wujiang could not accept this result.

Otherwise, not only will he not get any credit, but he will also become an accomplice?

Zhiping Layman also looked troubled and said with a headache:

"Lord Longcheng, I think so too."

"The Academy's attitude is clear. Imperial Tutor Xiang opposes the escalation of the case and hopes that the matter will end here."

“It’s just that I’m not capable of that.”

Chu Wujiang and Master Dafan gave enough face to the Duke of Zhenguo and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory in this matter, and determined that the Xuanqiong Star Official was a person possessed by Nangong Hen.

In this way, the Xuanqiong star official himself will not be held responsible, and the Sitianjian and the Zhenguogong Mansion will not be implicated.

If they really want to take advantage of the situation and frame someone, they should characterize the incident as Xuanqiong star official colluding with Wangui Sect and expand the scope of the attack.

As a result, the Duke Zhenguo did not intend to accept such a face. Instead, he questioned Master Dafan whether he was taking the opportunity to retaliate, fabricate the incident, and carry out political assassination.

Chu Wujiang frowned. Judging from the reaction of Mr. Zhiping, Yuanji Academy did not seem to intervene in a particularly forceful manner. He could not help but ask:
"Master, could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo has some special evidence in his hands?"

Otherwise, the reaction of Mahayana Temple and Master Xiang would have been stronger.

The Mahayana Temple is not made of clay, so how could it allow the imperial court to try a Buddhist arhat?

Zhiping Jushi glanced at Chu Wujiang, pondered for a moment and said:
"Lord Longcheng is really smart."

"Well, everyone will know it in a few days." Zhiping Jushi took a deep breath and said:
"When the Duke of Zhenguo was destroying the Demon God Palace, he obtained a piece of information that Master Beiku of the Great Compassion Temple was colluding with the Demon God Palace."

"The plan for this evil god's invasion was entirely the work of Master Sadness."

"So the Duke of Zhenguo suspected that Xuanqiong Xingguan was murdered, and Dacheng Temple was also involved."

"Master Dafan vehemently denied it. Both sides have their own opinions."

"Taifu Xiang doesn't want to escalate the incident, so he can only remain neutral for the time being."

Shocking.

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Duke of Zhenguo dared to exert such pressure.

It's not because he's crazy and wants to overwhelm Mahayana Temple with his power.

But he also has a piece of evidence in his hand, which is the ironclad evidence that Master Beiku is colluding with the Demon Palace.

This information is also true!
[No, it should be said that the original plan of the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts was to expose the news that the Master of Great Compassion Temple was colluding with the Demon Palace after replacing the Xuanqiong Star Official this time.]

[When the time comes, Mahayana Temple will be involved in a scandal of colluding with the Demon Palace, and Mahayana Temple will need to give in to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory! ]

[This Nangong Hen is really too cruel. ]

[He colluded with the Demon Palace in the identity of Master of Misery, leaving behind enough hard evidence, and then the Duke of Zhenguo destroyed the Demon Palace and obtained the hard evidence.]

[That's why the Duke of Zhenguo was so timely and decisive in destroying the Demon Palace.]

Chu Wujiang finally figured out Nangong Hen’s entire plan.

It has to be said that the evil intentions that the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect had been holding back for hundreds of years were so earth-shattering once they were released.

【How careless. 】

[Both Dafan and I wanted to conceal the true identity of Master Beiku. Who could have thought that Nangong Hen had a backup plan? ]

[Now the Duke of Zhenguo is not completely unreasonable. ]

Chu Wujiang fell silent for a moment.

Mr. Zhiping coughed and said comfortingly:
"Lord Longcheng doesn't have to worry too much."

"Abbot Qian Fang of the Mahayana Temple has always been protective of his people and will not let the Duke of Zhenguo succeed."

"Just these days, it's best for you to stay in Dragon City and don't move around. I will take care of the rest."

"The imperial court has its own justice, and Master Dafan is not an ordinary commoner."

"The evidence from the Demon Palace is probably fake, so there is nothing to worry about."

Yuanji Academy still took the approach of keeping things quiet and wanted to suppress the matter.

Considering the identity of Master Dafan, Mr. Zhiping was still relatively optimistic.

[The problem is that this evidence is likely to be true.]

[How could the Duke of Zhenguo give up when he got such solid evidence? ]

Chu Wujiang could only say:

"Master, the Xuanqiong Star Officer was possessed by someone. It was not only seen by Master Dafan, but we were also witnesses."

"I am willing to clear the injustice for Master Dafan."

Mr. Zhiping nodded and said:
"It's natural."

"With Imperial Tutor Xiang here, he will definitely take the overall situation into consideration and not let the Duke of Zhenguo act arbitrarily and take advantage of the situation."

"Even if there is something wrong with Master Beiku, it has nothing to do with the death of Xuanqiong Xingguan."

Chu Wujiang learned of this confidential matter and did not plan to go to Taodu again. He immediately picked up the Hundred Ghosts Picture and said loudly:

"Ladies, we will not stay in Mangshan. Let's go back to Longcheng now."

After returning to Dragon City, find a way to absorb the Ghost King of Doom.

there is always a solution to a problem.

No matter whether they are mermaids or the Duke of Zhenguo, there will be no problem as long as we can defeat them.
