Chapter 464: Exposed

There is a breakfast stall across the street not far from Taihe Building. Although it is still light, there are already several early customers sitting at the stall.

The breakfast stall is run by a middle-aged couple. The woman has a ruddy face and a plump waist, while the man is thin. They have just opened the stall.

The couple is busy in the steaming heat...

But in such a busy time, the man's eyes often glance at the door of Taihe Building. When he just opened the stall, he found that there was a waiter waiting there. At this time, some time has passed. More and more waiters gather at the door of Taihe Building, shouting and yelling, but the door of Taihe Building is still closed, and it seems that there is no intention to open it.

The man brought a bowl of wontons and a tray of buns to a seat, but walked over quickly and said to the woman who was making wontons with her shadowless hands: "You are busy first, I will go across the street."

"I am busy! Why are you running around?!" The woman scolded the man, but her hands did not stop making wontons.

This is the technique she has practiced for many years, which is so fast that it is a bit dazzling. One hand uses a spoon to scoop the fillings, and the other hand pinches the skin to wrap the fillings. The two hands are sometimes separated and sometimes combined, and there is already a certain rhythm.

However, she is not a martial artist. There are many talented people in this world who actually have no chance to learn martial arts.

The man ignored the woman's anger and turned his head to the other side of the street.

The woman glared at the man's back and sighed. She had to stop making wontons. She put all the wontons into the pot, and then took a few trays of buns and went to the seat. Several guests were already sitting there waiting.

After serving the buns, she returned to the stall. The wontons were almost cooked. She quickly placed four bowls in front of the steaming pot, threw several kinds of seasonings into the bowls, and then used a large spoon to scoop up half a spoonful of wontons. With a shake of the spoon, four bowls of wontons were ready. He added soup and brought them over...

Here, the man came to the front of Taihe Building. He swept his eyes gloomily from the doors and windows of Taihe Building, wiping his hands with his apron as he walked. From time to time, a waiter went forward to knock on the door, but the building was dark and silent.

The man suddenly walked slowly to a place on the side of Taihe Building. He slightly turned sideways and looked up. He saw the pigeon cage hanging under the eaves high up. The bottom was empty, and the whole pigeon cage became a transparent state of wire.

The man was startled. The warning was activated, but he did not receive it.

What this means is self-evident!

The man's face suddenly became very ugly. He turned around quickly, crossed the street, and returned to the stall.

The woman saw him coming back so quickly, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Take these bowls of wontons over. You are so busy, why are you still running around?!"

The man said gloomily, "I have something to go out for. You watch the stall first."

The woman was stunned for a moment, but the man had already taken off his apron and strode away.

At this time, the guests at the seats urged again. "Hurry up! The buns are almost finished, and the wontons are not served to me. Do you want to choke me to death?"

"I'm coming!" The woman responded and took two bowls of wontons.

But her eyes were a little red. There were more and more people in a while, how could she handle it alone?

The man walked quickly into an alley in the dim light. He turned into the alley and looked around. Seeing no one in the alley, he suddenly moved, flashing and whizzing away...

The man guarding the wonton stall was obviously a hidden master, and his body skills were not weak at all...

Zhu Peng drove the carriage to an alley. Duan Rong's body flashed and he jumped out of the carriage. He jumped across the alley and came to a house.

Duan Rong's spiritual sense swept in, but he was slightly stunned. The bedding in the room was turned over and messy, but there was no figure.

He suddenly jumped, and his body flashed into the room like a ghost. His eyes moved, and he reached out to touch the inside of the bedding. There was still residual heat inside. The person on the bed had obviously left not long ago.

And the room was in a mess. Before the man left, he was obviously looking for something.

Duan Rong stood there and sighed softly. The truth was exposed earlier than he thought.

"It seems that Ge Rushong must have arranged other means in Taihe Tower."

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, Ge Rushong was a shrewd man and had been in charge of the Tongzhengshisi for many years.

Duan Rong thought that if he failed in one place, he would fail everywhere.

The line of Taihe Tower could only be dug up here.

That night, they arrested more than 20 people in Taihe Tower and more than 30 people from all over Shenyun Mansion.

In one go, they caught nearly 60 people.

Moreover, many of them were masters of the True Qi Realm, and many of them had been lurking for many years. For Ge Rushong, these people were cultivated with great effort, but they were wiped out by Duan Rong overnight.

Since he had failed, Duan Rong flashed out of the house.

As the saying goes, if you pull out a radish, you will also find mud. Although the radish whiskers are now a little broken in the mud, he has done what Zhu He ordered to pull them out by the roots.

Duan Rong flashed out of the alley. Zhu Peng was sitting in the carriage. Seeing Duan Rong return empty-handed, he frowned and asked, "Where is the person you caught?"

"The room is empty." Duan Rong said, "The person has left."

"Left?!" Zhu Peng was a little surprised. This was the first time they had come up empty-handed, and it was still dawn, and many people were still asleep.

"Let's go. Let's go back!" Duan Rong said, and got into the carriage.

Zhu Peng turned the horse's head, and the carriage rumbled back to the way it came.

Duan Rong sat in the carriage, his eyes tired. Since the information about the Taihe Building being taken down had been exposed, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. It was time to expose the matter and make a good article about it.

Duan Rong rubbed his temples. Although he was very tired at this time, he couldn't rest yet. There were still many things to do next.

Zhu Peng drove the carriage into the backyard from the corner. The two of them went to a farther place, and some carriages that went to a nearby place had already returned and parked there in a mess. Obviously, they were not the only ones who came back empty-handed.

Duan Rong and Zhu Peng walked into the dark room under the rockery. Seven or eight people were surrounding Zhu Cheng to report there.

When Zhu Cheng saw Duan Rong coming in, he immediately pushed through the crowd and walked over, clasping his fists and saying, "Sir, something's going on!"

Duan Rong glanced at the people who had just surrounded Zhu Cheng and said lightly, "All of them came in vain, right?"

"Yes!" Zhu Cheng's eyes moved slightly.

After a night, the dark room was already filled with a strong smell of blood. Duan Rong slowly walked to a stone chair, sat down, and said, "Zhu Cheng! Everyone has been busy all night, send someone to buy some breakfast outside. Eat a full stomach first."

Since the Taihe Building had been exposed, it was meaningless to rush to interrogate and arrest people. Now going there would basically be nothing.

Zhu Cheng was slightly surprised. He still had a lot of people on his side, and he hadn't interrogated them yet. Moreover, there was a problem with the arrest here, so why did Duan Rong act like nothing happened and asked him to send someone to buy breakfast instead?

However, Duan Rong was the person in charge of this matter. Since he said so, Zhu Cheng could only do as he said. He quickly called a few people and asked them to go buy breakfast.

When those people heard that there was breakfast to eat, their eyes lit up. They had been busy all night and their stomachs had been rumbling for a long time.

At the wonton stall diagonally opposite Taihe Building, some customers were already sitting there, knocking on the table and cursing. The woman wiped her tears while cooking wontons.

"Here, here!" She was turning around with two bowls of wontons, and suddenly a figure flashed beside her. It was the thin man who came back.

The man took the wonton and immediately walked towards the yelling customer. He put down the wonton and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry! Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

When the woman saw the man's expression, the resentment and anger in her heart were immediately swept away. She immediately started to wrap the wontons. The man also got busy around the stall. The yelling in front of the stall soon subsided...

In the dim light of the morning, in the endless mountains of the Changliu Mountains, clouds of mist floated...

A lush mountain peak, looming in the mist, was the Qingling Peak where the Tongzhengshisi was located.

In a remote room in the pavilion inside the peak.

Lv Zhongtang, Ge Rusong, Sun Fujia, Zheng Yi, Xu Qi, the five people were discussing in the room. The news from Shenyun Mansion had been sent back.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!

The result of the examination by the pharmacist sent by the Medicine Pavilion was that Li Shensi was not poisoned. This result was obviously beyond the expectations of the five of them.

Ge Rusong's eyes were solemn, and his expression was obviously a little unnatural. He looked at Sun Fujia and asked: "Elder Sun, is the pharmacist you sent reliable? Could it be that some poisons are more difficult to check and he missed them?"

Sun Fujia heard this, but just looked gloomy and did not answer.

Lu Zhongtang glanced at Sun Fujia and said, "How could the person chosen by Elder Sun be wrong? I'm afraid the problem lies somewhere else."

Sun Fujia's expression eased slightly when he saw Lu Zhongtang say this. He glanced at Ge Rushong and said, "I dare not boast that Pharmacist Guo is the best in the world in the way of poison, but in Qingzhou, there should be no one who can surpass him."

When Sun Fujia said this, Ge Rushong's pupils shrank, but he said, "That's strange!"

Sun Fujia thought that Ge Rushong was still questioning Pharmacist Guo's inspection results, and a flash of anger flashed across his face, saying, "Since Pharmacist Guo has checked that Li Shensi did not Poisoned, that means not poisoned. I believe him on this point. If Elder Ge doesn't trust our medicine cabinet, you can send someone to check it again. "

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Elder Sun! Elder Ge is probably not surprised that Li Shensi was not poisoned, but if Li Shensi was not poisoned, what method did Duan Rong use to kill Li Shensi? To make him crazy and hallucinated, and fall off the cliff to death?"

Ge Rushong said, "That's what Ge meant. Elder Sun, don't misunderstand me. I was rude at first because I was concerned and confused. I didn't mean to offend you."

Sun Fujia's expression finally eased a lot, but the doubts lingering in everyone's hearts at this time became heavier.

The room was silent for a while.

Lu Zhongtang frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "We launched a fight in the Elders' Council, insisting that Duan Rong poisoned Li Shensi. Now that the inspection results are like this, how will it end? What do you think?"

When Lu Zhongtang said this, his eyes glanced at Ge Rushong indifferently, after all, he was the one who proposed to launch a fight in the Elders' Council.

"There must be something fishy about this!" Ge Rushong's eyes were deep, and he said thoughtfully: "Duan Rong has only been a direct disciple for half a year, but he was able to use some means to make Li Shensi fall off the cliff strangely, and made up the story of the rhinoceros fairy, eliminating the pressure of the market to govern the discussion of this matter. Even if Li Shensi died of poisoning, his methods have already made people dread. This is one of the reasons why I want to make trouble in the Elders' Council and bite him to death."

"But Li Shensi did not die of poisoning!" Zheng Yi said.

Ge Rushong turned his head and looked at him, saying, "So, it's even more terrifying. This shows that even we can't see through this kid's tricks. And he's just a junior who hasn't even achieved the cyclone realm."

Xu Qie suddenly said, "Don't forget, Elder Ge, when he was tested in the valley, he was half a step away from stepping on the stage! He almost became the first person in hundreds of years. This kind of guy can't be judged by common sense. And..."

Xu Qie's eyes drooped slightly, paused for a moment, as if he was thinking, everyone looked at him, he raised his eyes and continued, "After discussing him last time, I was curious about this kid, so I went to the database of the Tongzhengshisi, retrieved his information, and studied it. You know, after three years as an outer disciple, this kid has gained a great reputation as a detective in the four southeastern prefectures?"

Ge Rushong sneered when he heard this. He had naturally read these materials of Duan Rong a long time ago, but he didn't care. "It's just a remote place like the four prefectures in the southeast... What kind of detective is he? It's just a few trivial criminal cases. That beautiful woman plotted to kill her husband, and there is evidence of her absence... What kind of things are these? If you don't know, you might think he's listening to a story in a teahouse?"

Ge Rushong didn't take Duan Rong's so-called detective title seriously at all, and continued: "Yang Sixian solved many strange cases in the past, but no one called him a detective?"

Xu Qie didn't care about the contempt in Ge Rushong's eyes, and sighed: "Elder Ge, do you still remember the first dirty blood case in Xiangu County three years ago?"

Ge Rushong was slightly stunned. In that case, he was eager to get credit and almost made a mess. Although he eventually forced Wei Ziyang, one of the five chief altar envoys of the Dirty Blood Sect, to self-destruct, an inner disciple also died on the spot. For this, Chu Qiushan publicly blamed him.

Ge Rushong glanced at Xu Qie and said nothing. He didn't know why Xu Qie suddenly brought up this matter.

Xu Qie said, "The person who first opened up that bloody case was Duan Rong!"

"Is it him?" Ge Rushong's eyebrows jumped. This case was a failure in his hands. Later, he didn't ask about it anymore and handed it over to Jiang Zhe to handle. He didn't pay attention to who opened up the case in the first place.

"That's right!" Xu Qie said, "I have carefully read a few of the cases he has handled. Every case is amazing. This guy's name as a detective is not in vain!"

Ge Rushong's face was grim. He did glance at those trivial criminal cases and didn't care. After all, the information reported by the Tongzhengshisi every day was so much! If he hadn't wanted to take Duan Rong as his apprentice that day and checked his information, he wouldn't even know these. What he saw in Duan Rong was just Duan Rong's talent of half a step on the stage.

Ge Rushong was about to say something, but suddenly stopped talking, his face suddenly gloomy, and the others also stopped talking at the same time, because their consciousness had already scanned the corridor and saw someone coming.

After a few breaths, there were rustling footsteps at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock." Three knocks on the door sounded gently.

Ge Rushong's voice was cold and angry, and he said: "Come in!"

The door opened gently, and a middle-aged man dressed in a green shirt, dressed like a scholar, walked in slowly.

As soon as the man came in, Ge Rushong glared at him and said, "Chen Yu, didn't I tell you? We are discussing matters, no one is allowed to disturb us!"

The man bowed to everyone in the hall at the door and said, "I deserve to die for disturbing you adults' discussion!" Then he looked up and looked at Ge Rushong, saying, "Your Excellency, Taihe Tower has collapsed!"

"What!?"

Ge Rushong stood up suddenly, his hair and beard moved without wind, the tables and chairs beside him were all turned into powder, and there was a faint space fluctuation above his head...

As an elder, he was so angry that he lost his composure...
