Zheng Xingyong pondered for a moment and said, "These two Japanese officials have been on duty at the city gate and have never seen any suspicious people entering the city."

Li Xiuran frowned and said, "Where are the monks from other places?"

Zheng Xingyong said: "There are some of these, but as the capital, there are many people coming to Beijing from other places every day. Isn't this suspicious?"

"Is the number of people the same as usual? How about cultivation? Is there any expert?"

"It's almost the same, I don't know the cultivation level. If you are really a master, you have to deliberately conceal it, ordinary people will not be able to discover it."

That's right... Li Xiuran nodded slightly, thinking in his heart.

The murderer must need manpower to fight against the Demon Suppression Division, but no suspicious people entered the city, and the number of monks from other places who came to Beijing was not abnormal compared to the past. Could it be that the murderer had not replaced the city gate captain with his own people, so he had not started to take action yet?

Or is Zheng Xingyong lying?

Or... the murderer has other ways to fight against the Demon Suppression?

Li Xiuran frowned and walked twice while thinking. The corner of his eyes flashed through the ground inadvertently, and his eyes suddenly paused.

The ground paved with green striped stone slabs is neat and atmospheric, and has been paved for some time, with the edges being quite smooth.

However, the edges of the stone slabs in front of him were slightly damaged, and they were fresh traces. The overall part was slightly raised than the surrounding floor.

Could it be that it has been snatched recently?

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Xiuran's eyes, he took two steps forward, and thought of checking carefully in front of him.

Zheng Xingyong noticed his movements, his face changed slightly, and he stepped forward as if nothing had happened, just stepping on the stone slabs: "Is there anything else Li Pianwei wants to ask?"

Um?

His expression was stiff, his eyes dodged, he talked to me but didn't dare to look at me, you seemed very nervous... Li Xiuran's eyes narrowed, and he made a quick judgment in his heart, and he wanted to divert his gaze!

I was fine just now, but when I saw me noticed an abnormality on the ground, I suddenly became nervous and deliberately stepped forward to try to divert my sight. This only means that there is indeed a problem here! And he also knows this!

"Does go!"

"Hmm?" Zheng Xingyong frowned and said unhappy: "Li Panwei, I respect you, have the emperor's will, so I am polite to you, but you can't be more arrogant and just shout at me!"

"bass!"

Li Xiuran drew his sword directly and said in a deep voice: "I let you go! I dare to stop the case handler and kill him without any hesitation!"

"you!"

Originally, he wanted to give a warning, but he didn't expect that Li Xiuran would change his face and even pull out the knife. He didn't take him seriously at all. Zheng Xingyong was instantly angry and embarrassed.

Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan and Lin Fengkai were also stunned, and they didn't expect Li Xiuran to suddenly react so much.

But all three of them understood his attitude, their eyes fixed on Zheng Xingyong, and their hands also touched the hilt of the knife and sword at their waist.

The soldiers guarding the city beside him were also shocked when they saw this and immediately pulled out their weapons and surrounded them.

Li Xiuran glanced, took out the gold medal and raised it high, and scolded: "I came to investigate the case under the order of Your Majesty. I have a gold medal awarded here. Do you want to rebel? Don't retreat yet!"

The officers and soldiers' faces changed and they hurriedly retreated.

After lifting the gold medal, Zheng Xingyong had no choice but to give up his position with unwillingness, looked at Li Xiuran hatefully, and said with a gloomy face: "Li Panwei is really powerful. If you can't find out today, I will report this matter to Your Majesty!"

"I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to make a report." Li Xiuran glanced at him, and with his eyes that were about to spit out fire, he came to the stone slabs, bent down and checked carefully.

The broken edges and corners are freshly knocked out, which are indeed traces left recently. They seem to be forced to be pried up by a sharp weapon. Although they have been carefully placed back in place, the corners and corners that have been knocked out cannot be changed.

Li Xiuran stood up and glanced at the officers and soldiers next to him: "Come here."

The officers and soldiers who were accused were stunned and confused, but they did not dare to hesitate. They quickly stepped forward and said, "What's the matter with me, sir?"

Li Xiuran said lightly: "Pry open these stone slabs for me."

"Ah?" The officers and soldiers looked surprised.

Zheng Xingyong was even more frivolous: "Li Xiuran, you are blaspheming the face of the court. Do you know what the crime is?"

With such a big reaction, it seems that the problem below must be quite big... Li Xiuran looked at him and suddenly looked forward to it even more: "I am also responsible for the guilt. Why are you so worried about it?

Pry it for me!"

Zheng Xingyong's face suddenly turned red and his eyes flashed.

"...Yes." The officers and soldiers hesitated for a moment, then agreed with a gritted teeth, walked to the stone slab, pulled out their swords and inserted them into the ground through the gap, and then left, the stone slab was pried up.

Moving the stone slabs to the side, he pried up several stone slabs next to them, revealing that the stone slabs were somewhat damp and obviously like loosened soil.

Li Xiuran's eyes lit up: "Soon dig down."

The officers and soldiers took the order and used a knife as a shovel. After digging for a few seconds, they suddenly encountered a hard object. They cleared out the soil and exposed a stone surface of more than half a foot thick.

Sure enough, there was a problem... Li Xiuran was excited: "Dig it out for me."

Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan, and Lin Fengkai also hurriedly surrounded him.

The officers and soldiers suddenly increased their pressure and hurriedly continued to excavate. After a while, a stone pillar that was more than a half foot thick and nearly one meter long was dug out, and there was a layer of complex patterns on the surface of the column.

Li Xiuran and the other four quickly stepped forward and began to check around the stone pillar.

Chi Qingwan frowned slightly: "It looks like a formation base."

"Grade Ji?" Li Xiuran was stunned and turned his head to look at her.

Chi Qingwan explained: "It is the cornerstone of the formation."

Li Xiuran suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly thrilled, formation?!

This is probably the means the murderer is preparing to use to fight the Demon Suppression Division!

The practice room in the Demon Suppression Department is created by the Spirit Gathering Array, which has increased the concentration of spiritual energy inside several times and greatly increased the speed of cultivation, which shows the strength of the formation.

And this is still the spirit gathering array. If it were replaced by the killing array, its power would definitely be even more terrifying. It seems that it is not impossible to fight against the Demon Suppression Division with this.

"Can you tell what formation this is?"

"I just know the fur of dot arrays, and this is just a formation base, how can I see it?" Chi Qingwan rolled her eyes.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Li Xiuran's face, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Xingyong.

He was on duty these two days. Such a large formation base was transported into the city and buried under the city gate. It was definitely unrelated to him!

Seeing that the Array Ji was dug out, Zheng Xingyong changed his face, and the anger in his eyes was replaced by fear. While the few people were checking Array Ji and before he noticed him, he quietly withdrew from the crowd and was about to escape.
