"What!!?" Xu Zun asked in shock, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Report to the special envoy," the inner guard said in panic, "The Iron Temple Chief was killed! The Eastern God Captain was seriously injured..."

"Impossible!" Zhao Yu shouted anxiously, "Where did the assassin come from so many guards?"

"Yes..." The inner guard replied in a hurry, "It may be that Cao Ding's housekeeper did it! We never saw him again after the accident!"

"Don't panic," Xu Zun suddenly calmed down and asked, "Tell me carefully, what happened? What were the Iron Temple Chief and the Eastern God Captain at that time?"

"After the special envoy left..." the inner guard replied, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the Iron Temple Chief and the Eastern God Captain went to the hall to rest.

“Not long after, we heard a fight in the hall and white smoke came out…

"We rushed in quickly and saw that the Iron Temple Cheng had been assassinated by the assassin, while the Eastern God Captain suffered internal injuries and was already vomiting blood and was in a coma..."

"Baiyan!?" Huo Annu asked hurriedly, "Where did Baiyan come from?"

"I don't know," replied the inner guard, "that white smoke may cause people to fall into a coma. After we entered, we felt dizzy and exhausted. We covered our mouths and noses and then we were fine."

Xu Zun carefully looked at the inner guard. This person was indeed one of the guards guarding Cao Ding's family at that time.

only……

Now all the information is heard by him alone, so Xu Zun naturally won’t believe it, so he asked about these many details.

Now through this person’s answer, what he said is true, Tie Jingba is definitely in danger!

"Why...why?" Chen Taiji was both shocked and scared, "It makes no sense, why...why should I kill them both?"

"This means..." Xu Zun's eyes suddenly lit up and he gritted his teeth and said, "We checked the direction correctly! The problem lies with Cao Ding!!"

"Sir..." Zhao Yu said impatiently, "Then why are we still standing there? Hurry up and take a look! Did they find something in Cao Ding's family? That's why they were brutally killed?"

"They were attacked in the hall of Cao Ding's family," Anni said thinking, "What can be found there? Could it be that they said what?"

"By the way!" Finally, Chen Taiji suddenly remembered and hurriedly said to Xu Zun, "Before coming, we were indeed discussing about Cao Lingcheng. Tie Jing said... he had a friendship with Cao Ding... and... he also said..."

"What else do you say?" everyone urged.

Chen Taiji was about to blurt out, but Xu Zun stopped him, waved his hand at Chen Taiji, and pointed at his ear.

"Oh..." Chen Taiji understood what Xu Zun meant, and hurried to Xu Zun approached him and said softly in his ear, "He also said that Cao Ding is introverted, not good at socializing, and only likes to fiddle with his model design. He cannot be a spy in the Xuanmen."

In fact, these are not secret information. Xu Zun had already investigated them clearly and saw the model designs in his study, which were basically related to water conservancy projects.

However, after Xu Zun finished hearing this, he still widened his eyes in shock and said in surprise: "What is this kind of thing!!"

Xu Zun's excitement also aroused the curiosity of Zhao Yu and others.

"What the hell is it...what?"

At this moment, even Chen Taiji himself was very surprised. He felt that there seemed to be no clue in his words?

"Zhao Yu is right," Xu Zun pointed to the door and said, "No need to delay, let's go back to Cao Ding's mansion to take a look!"

After saying that, everyone hurriedly left the Ministry of Water Resources.

The rain outside was still not diminishing, and the sound of running water was clattering around.

When everyone came to the door, the ones who were about to ride a horse and the ones who got on the bus, Xu Zun suddenly stopped everyone.

He first glanced at the Ministry of Water Resources, then flashed to the door and ordered everyone:

"Huo Anu, you and Hou Zhen will return to Cao Ding's mansion to check the situation, find clues, and see how the injury of the Eastern God Captain was?" Xu Zun said, "If she wakes up, ask her immediately what's going on!"

"Yes! What about you?" Huo Annu was puzzled, "Aren't you going?"

"Zhao Yu," Xu Zun pulled Zhao Yu to him, muttered a few words to him, and then said, "You and Ashuzai will do this!"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

So he pulled Ashuzai aside, and the two disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Ani..." Xu Zun said to Anni and the remaining guards again, "You go to the same place with me!

"Hou Zhen..." Then, he whispered a few more words in Hou Zhen's ear, and then ordered, "Go and call Li Jinlou to me, I have something to ask him."

"Yes!" Hou Zhen did not dare to be negligent, and immediately turned over and whipped away...

...

Dada dada...

The sound of horse hooves was loud, and they stepped on the ground and caused splashes of water.

“Well…”

With Liu Dong's shout, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded house located in Jianyefang.

This is the home of Dali Temple Chief Tiejing.

Because Tie Jing's ancestors had Buller blood, he prefers to live in Jianyefang, where most foreigners are.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

A guard named Li Xing, under Xu Zun, smashed the door with force, and it took a while for a moment to hear the movement inside the door.

"Who is this so rude? Do you know whose house is here?" The door opened and the manager poked his head out, "Do you understand the rules?"

Bang!

Li Xing didn't care about that, and immediately kicked the door open and shouted loudly: "The Inner Guard Office investigates the case. This is the special envoy personally appointed by the Queen Mother. Why don't you greet him quickly!?"

It turns out that people are good and bullied. Li Xing was so arrogant that the manager was frightened immediately and bowed and said:

"I've been here by chance. My master is not at home!"

"I know I'm not at the mansion," said Li Xing. "Stop talking, lead the way quickly, and concentrate everyone in your family in the hall to speak!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the Tie family members came to the hall.

Recently, major events have occurred in the Saint Capital. The Tie family members don’t know what happened. When they saw Xu Zun and others’ arrogant appearance, they were all frightened.

In order to avoid trouble, Xu Zun asked Li Xing to take out the imperial edict, glance at the Tie family, and first reveal his identity.

Seeing that Xu Zun was indeed the special envoy personally appointed by the Empress Dowager, the Tie family became even more frightened and thought that Tie Jing had committed something.

"You don't have to panic," Xu Zun asked, "This envoy came here just to find out one question. As long as you can answer it, you won't make things difficult for you.

"Think about it carefully. Mr. Tie and Cao Ding, the Water Lingcheng of the Ministry of Works, once had a relationship. Does anyone know about this?"

ah?

The Tie family stared at each other, all of whom were stunned by this strange question.

After a few seconds, everyone shook their heads one after another, and they all expressed their ignorance.

"Sir..." Tie Jing's housekeeper asked even more, "What is Shui Lingcheng?"

Depend on……

Xu Zun was depressed and suddenly realized that he might have found the wrong place. Instead of coming to Tiejing's house, it would be better to go to Dali Temple.

It seems...it can only be second best.

Seeing everyone looking at each other, Xu Zun wanted to ask them, Tie Jing and those close friends?

As a result, he had just opened his mouth and had not spoken, but suddenly a sound came from behind him.

"I...I know..."

Xu Zun turned his head and saw that Hou Zhen had brought Li Jinlou over, and it was Li Jinlou who was speaking.

"Oh?" Xu Zun widened his eyes, "You know?"

"Yes...yes..." But Li Jinlou, who had already become a scattered chicken, said timidly, "Shui Lingcheng Cao Ding likes to study ancient monuments, especially the ancient ways of canals.

"There was someone from the Tie Laozu who worked in the surveying and establishment institute, so there were some ancient city maps in his home. Cao Ding liked them very much, so he bought them for a lot of money..."
