Thinking of this, Sanxu Shangqing was shocked and suddenly realized that this case was unusual and was definitely not a simple murder. It was very likely an action by the five regents against the Tianting Dao Kingdom, and Yundan’s death was just a prelude.
Fang Jian was also surprised that the Heavenly Kingdom actually had a special envoy in Yujing City, and this special envoy had forged an imperial edict and escaped from Yujing City last night?
It was obvious that with what Shangqing Gupeng said, the special envoy from the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom who suddenly forged the imperial edict and escaped from Yujing City was the most suspicious.
As soon as Lord Gu Peng said that, the entire Qianguang Palace fell silent and everyone fell silent.
Even Lord Lie Yi began to look at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth. Fang Jian glanced sideways and it seemed that everyone had changed all of a sudden. They seemed to... not want to get involved in this matter.
"Captain Fang, you can follow this clue first. A month should be enough." Shangqing Gupeng said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian pondered for a moment, then said, "But that envoy from the Heavenly Dao Kingdom escaped from the city last night. I'm afraid he's already disappeared..."
Gu Peng Shang Qing said, "Don't worry, he won't get far. The Cha Yu Dian of the Ministry of Geography has already grasped his general whereabouts. With your strength, Captain Fang, it won't be difficult to catch him."
The news that Gao Zaidao and nine others were killed by Fang Jianzhen has spread like wildfire in the past three months. At least the high-ranking officials at the level of Shangqing in the Dao Court know this news.
Hearing Gu Peng's words, Fang Jian secretly thought that this was forcing the issue. It was obvious that the Honglutai really wanted Fang Jian to capture the special envoy of the Tianting Dao Kingdom as soon as possible and put the blame for the murder of Yundan hostage on the Tianting special envoy.
If this crime is once convicted and put to death on the Tiantian Special Envoy, then what choice will the Jingshan Dao Kingdom have? There is no doubt that the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and the Tianting Dao Kingdom will go to war.
You should know that the previous wars with the Dao Kingdom of Heaven were all carried out by the Dao Kingdom itself, and the other Dao Kingdoms just stood aside and cheered for the Dao Kingdom, and had no intention of getting involved.
Fang Jian seemed to have seen through this, so he didn't want to capture the Heavenly Envoy. No matter what the reason was for him to escape from Yujing City, he had no interest in capturing this person.
Fang Jian then said, "Shangqing Gupeng, I am also a hostage of the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom. According to the regulations of the Honglutai, I cannot leave Yujing City. Please send someone else to capture the special envoy of the Tianting Dao Kingdom."
Gu Peng Shang Qing seemed to have anticipated what Fang Jian would say, so he said, "Everything has its exceptions. You are not only a hostage of Xuan Jian Dao State, but also a lieutenant officer of the Night Patrol Lieutenant's Office."
At this point, the other ministers of the Court Law Department, including the Minister of Gu Peng, said, "According to the laws of the Dao Court, any hostage serving in Yujing City who needs to leave Yujing City on official business can leave the city with only a chief official from the Court Law Department's 'Inspectorate' accompanying him."
As soon as Senior Minister Gu Peng finished speaking, a Senior Minister from the Ministry of Justice immediately stood up and said in a graceful voice, "Indeed, I will accompany Captain Fang out of the city to capture the escaped Tianting Dao Kingdom envoy 'Zhen Qian'."
Fang Jian turned his head and saw that the man was wearing a Taoist robe with jade-like gauze and floral patterns, a purple gold crown on his head, bright eyebrows and eyes, and a natural beauty. It was the 'Ren Mi Shangqing' who appeared with Jiang E last night. He was also one of the five regents, the grandson of Taiji Daozun, and ranked fourth.
Gu Peng Shang Qing nodded and said, "Okay, Captain Fang, this time, the Inspector General Ren Mi will accompany you out of the city. Her duty is to supervise your duties."
Only then did Fang Jian realize that the top brass of the Dao Court had already arranged everything. He only needed to go out of the city to perform and capture Zhen Qian and then come back to report.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian no longer refused, but after pondering for a moment, he made up his mind to help Zhen Qian escape from the control of the Da Dao Court.
Fang Jian raised his head and glanced at Ren Mi Shangqing beside him, only to see that she was also looking at him, with a pair of bright eyes and a natural temperament.
"Yes, I will obey your command." Fang Jian bowed his hands. At the moment when he bowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
After the ministers discussed some specific arrangements, the meeting at the Honglutai was declared over, and the Garrison Office and the Court Law Office went back to arrange their affairs.
On the way back to the Garrison Office, Sanxu Shangqing called Fang Jian to his carriage and said to him, "This matter must have been arranged by the higher-ups. No matter who kills Yundan, the final result must be that 'Zhen Qian'. I was wrong before. I didn't mean to put the blame on you, but..."
Having said that, Sanxu Shangqing stopped talking and just said to Fang Jian, "You just need to do what Honglutai Gupeng Shangqing said, and everything will be fine. It will be good for you, me, and everyone else."
"I am giving you this advice because you are so capable and smart." Sanxu Shangqing said to Fang Jian with a smile.
Fang Jian thanked him verbally, but sneered in his heart. You are not helping me because of my ability, but because of the great power of the 100,000 dusts.
Soon Fang Jian bid farewell to Sanxu Shangqing and returned to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion. As soon as he returned to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, he saw Yu Censhuang, who was guarding the gate, coming up.
"Sir," Yu Censhuang said, "We found something on Yundan's body."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately stopped Yu Censhuang and said, "Don't talk about it here, go to Changyou Palace."
Yu Censhuang nodded, and then went to Changyou Hall with Fang Jian. After entering Changyou Hall, Yu Censhuang stepped forward and said, "Sir, we found a jade bead on Yundan's body."
After saying this, Yu Cen turned his white wrists, and an extremely simple and unpretentious, pure and natural jade bead immediately appeared in his jade palm.
