Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 722: Jingkong, the Tight-lipped One

Fahua, Fayan and Facheng looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.

They lived with Fa Neng day and night, but they didn't even notice that Fa Neng had been replaced right under their noses.

You know, the three of them and Fa Neng are internal guards!

They shoulder a great mission!

Someone attacked them, and the underlying purpose was definitely not simple. Perhaps it was to get the most vicious criminal in the dungeon.

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at the monk Jingkong at the same time.

The monk Jingkong also looked at them, and everyone's eyes met.

Finally, Jingkong shook his head and signaled them to stay calm.

The three of Fahua then forced themselves to calm down and concentrate, preparing to face the next possible questioning from anyone.

The four of them stared at each other in just one or two seconds. They didn't think anyone could notice their clues, but unfortunately they had already been spotted by Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou.

"Interesting, Brother Dayou, how come these people's styles of behavior are very similar to yours."

"Of course, they are definitely the inner guards. I can guarantee that these people are all inner guards, and the monk on duty might even be the leader."

"That's true. Those little monks all listen to him."

"Does Cunxi know this?"

"You should have noticed it. Didn't you see he was showing off?"

The two of them were whispering to each other, unknown to outsiders.

After the human skin mask on his face was peeled off, Fa Neng's true appearance was revealed.

It was a face that no one present had ever seen before, extremely ordinary.

"Abbot, I think the headless corpse in the back garden must be Fa Neng."

"It's really puzzling. After killing Faneng, this person was able to easily imitate Faneng without revealing any flaws. Even those close to him couldn't find any clues. Interesting, interesting."

Li Cunxi's tone was extremely sarcastic, and it was unclear who he was implying.

Fahua, Fayan and Facheng stood like ants, hoping that Li Cunxi would not call out their names.

The abbot sighed and said, "Your Highness, the incident at Hanguang Temple is truly unfortunate for us. Fortunately, we have found the culprit. Otherwise, we really don't know what would have happened."

"Master Abbot, there's no need to do this. However, I have already warned you that this place is no longer safe. Someone is hiding and may be planning to assassinate Your Majesty."

"Alas, I wonder what His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin intends to do?"

Li Cunxi said calmly, "Haha, but I wonder who are the monks who spend day and night with Fa Neng?"

The abbot pointed at Fahua and the other two.

"The friend you spend every day and night with has been replaced, and you were unaware of it. In this case, for the safety of His Majesty, arrest them all."

The monk in charge, Jingkong, glared at them and stood in front of Fahua and the other two without caring about anything else.

The Qianniu Guard, who was about to step forward to arrest someone, drew his sword and glared at Jingkong.

"Old man, I advise you to get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Ma Rong held the fake Fa Neng's head and looked at the monk Jingkong menacingly.

The monk Jingkong was very angry and immediately took out something from his arms and held it in his palm.

"I advise you all to stay out of some matters. Otherwise, if you anger His Majesty, you will be in big trouble."

"You make it sound like we're scared."

Wu Yanhao put his hands on his hips and squeezed to the front of the crowd.

"Humph, who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"

"Hey, I'm eighteen years old, the Duke of Liang, and the son of the King of Wei. So, you can't scare me anymore, right?"

Upon hearing this, the monk Jingkong burst out laughing: "I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be just a mere Duke of Liang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Cunxi also laughed.

"Brother Yanhao, he doesn't even take me, the King of Qin, seriously, and you, the Duke of Liang, have no respect at all."

Wu Yanhao didn't want to say a word. He thought that no one could underestimate the reputation of the Duke of Liang, but he was defeated by a small monk.

This monk Jingkong was really bold. He actually dared not to give him face.

Everyone in the court, whether civil or military, knew that Wu Yanhao had killed countless old, weak, women, or children in the Western Regions, and he had fought his way to the position of Duke of Liang.

How dare this person not give him face?

"Humph, you don't need to scare me with that name."

"I, Jingkong, have a great background!"

"You'd better leave now before I reveal my name, or I will not let you go!"

The monk Jingkong acted arrogant and glared at Li Cunxi and his group, like a high-ranking official.

But in today's Great Zhou, there are only a handful of people whose status is higher than Li Cunxi.

"cut."

Lu Dayou couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked out and pointed at Jingkong.

"You don't have to be so arrogant. You and I are colleagues. Don't force me to report you to His Majesty. Get out of here immediately and stop disrupting our investigation."

After saying that, Lu Dayou also took out something from his arms and showed it directly under the moonlight.

The monk Jingkong was suddenly startled and looked up at Lu Dayou, his hand holding the inner guard badge shaking constantly.

At this point, he still didn't understand that one of his superiors was standing in front of him.

This guy who looks like a simple and honest person is actually a leader of the Internal Guard Bureau!

"Captain, you, you..."

"There are eight leaders in my Inner Guards Department. I know the first seven. You are definitely not a leader."

"I, I'm not, but I also have a very important mission. It's best if you don't interfere, and you can't touch these people either."

Huan Bin remained silent from beginning to end. He leaned his head to look at the monk Jingkong and then continued diving.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Dayou snorted coldly and returned to Li Cunxi's back.

Everyone suddenly fell into an awkward atmosphere and no one spoke again.

Li Cunxi looked at Jingkong and found that the other person's face was covered with sweat. Knowing that his goal had been achieved, he prepared to leave.

"Forget it, since you are also an internal guard, forget it."

Li Cunxi started spouting nonsense, just waiting for the fire in the backyard to break out.

As expected, just as the hour of Chou arrived, someone came from the back garden, covered in dust.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

"Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, generals, and gentlemen, something terrible has happened! There's a fire in the backyard!"

"It started from the naked monk's small courtyard and spread to the entire back garden in a matter of seconds!"

Li Cunxi immediately shouted:

"Then why are you still talking? Go put out the fire!"

No one dared to delay and followed the soldier to the back garden.

From a long distance away, you can see the flames rising into the sky and the crackling sound carried by the wind.

"Where did the fire go? Why is it so big?"

Wu Yanhao was shocked. The fire was even more fierce than the one that burned down the inn in Liangzhou.

"Damn it, Cunxi, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Let's stay away from it, right?"

"I think what you said makes sense."
