Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Lu Xunhuan looked at the old man sitting in the hall, and then looked at the two young people, a man and a woman, standing on both sides. Seeing that they were both extraordinary and dressed gorgeously, he knew that the person who came must be no small figure.

He bowed and said, "Yes, sir," then walked into the lobby.

When he reached the prefect, the prefect whispered, "Hurry up and meet the Sixth Prince."

Only then did Lu Xunhuan realize that the old man sitting in the hall was actually the Sixth Prince of the Zhou Empire.

The Sixth Prince is so old, so how old is the King?

He bowed again and said, "Your humble servant Lu Xunhuan greets the Sixth Prince."

The Sixth Prince stared at him for a moment with a sharp gaze and asked, "What have you found out?"

Lu Xunhuan reported, "According to my investigation, a masked man stole the body and fled south. Judging from his skills, he must be a cultivator."

The Sixth Prince seemed dissatisfied: "Is that all?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "From my analysis, that person is heading south. Could he be from the Southern Liang Kingdom?"

The Sixth Prince hadn't considered that the person who snatched the corpse might be from the Southern Liang Kingdom. After hearing Lu Xunhuan's words, he stroked his beard and pondered, "If they were from the Southern Liang Kingdom, why didn't they come to rob the people for decades, but waited until they were dead before snatching the body? What's the logic behind this?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I am just guessing. Otherwise, why would he come south?"

The Sixth Prince said dissatisfiedly: "You've said a lot of nonsense, do you have any other clues?"

Lu Xunhuan shook his head: "No more."

The Sixth Prince snorted, "A bunch of trash, come here."

Outside the door, a group of yamen runners came in response.

The Sixth Prince ordered, "All of them are thrown into prison and await their fate."

A group of provincial officials, each looking as pale as death, were dragged by yamen runners and taken to jail.

Lu Xunhuan was naturally not spared and was also taken away and locked up in a cell.

The daylight hours gradually passed and it was dark outside again.

Lu Xunhuan stopped practicing, stood up, walked to the small window and looked out.

That silly girl Ye Feihong was still waiting for me to have dinner with her. Now that's good.

At this time, in a restaurant in Zhongzhou City, the Sixth Prince brought two young people and made an appointment with Qiao Zheng, the chairman of the Zhongzhou branch of the Immortal Friends Association, and Qiao Zheng's daughter Qiao Yunzhi. While having dinner, they chatted secretly about the old man.

During the banquet, the Sixth Prince asked, "President Qiao, your Immortal Friends Association has spies all over the world. What do you think about this?"

Qiao Zheng bowed and said, "The Immortal Friends Association mainly manages the affairs of the immortal family, and pays less attention to other matters."

The Sixth Prince asked again, "You really don't know?"

Qiao Zheng said, "I'm really confused. It's said that the body of an old man who had been imprisoned for decades was stolen. Who was this old man? Why was he imprisoned in Zhongzhou Prefecture for his entire life? Now that he's dead, why would someone steal his body?"

He saluted again: "I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

The Sixth Prince pondered for a while, stroking his beard, and felt a bit of a headache.

It has been forty years since the story of dragon bones came to light, and not many people knew the inside story.

Over the past forty years, most of those who knew the inside story have passed away.

Nowadays, there are only a few people who still know the truth. Who else knows that the old man is related to the dragon bones? Who stole his body and what was their intention?

Since he didn't speak, no one dared to speak either, and the table became dull.

After pondering for a long time, he turned his gaze to Qiao Zheng: "Has there been any unusual movement in Zhongzhou City recently? For example, anything suspicious, anyone worthy of suspicion?"

Qiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing suspicious, really. Everything is still normal. As for the people who are worthy of suspicion..."

Beside him, Qiao Yunzhi stretched out her foot and secretly stepped on him.

But he still said, "Zhongzhou is a barren place. Originally, there was only one second-rate immortal sect, and it had never made much progress. But this year, a disciple suddenly rose to prominence within the sect. According to our investigation, he is at least at the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm. I wonder if this is worth doubting..."

He didn't know that Lu Xunhuan was no longer in the Qinxin realm. He had already broken through the Tengyun realm and had now reached the ninth level of the Tengyun realm.

The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment and said, "A sect that has always been weak suddenly has a disciple who rises to prominence. Could it be that there is a master who is secretly guiding him? But why would such a master guide a disciple of a small sect?"

He asked Qiao Zhengdao, "Where is that disciple now?"

Qiao Zheng replied, "Your Highness, he is now the captain of the left camp of the Zhongzhou City garrison. I heard that Your Highness has imprisoned him."

The Sixth Prince stroked his beard and said, "I remember now. The last one to come was called Lu... Captain Lu something?"

The young woman at the side took over the conversation: "Lu Xunhuan."

The Sixth Prince smiled faintly: "Sixteenth Princess has a good memory, yes, Lu Xunhuan."

He stood up and said, "President Qiao, thank you for the clue."

After saying this, he left with Princess Sixteen and the young man.

After they left, Qiao Yunzhi complained to her father, "Dad, what are you doing? Why did you tell Lu Xunhuan about this?"

Qiao Zheng snorted and said, "I don't know which side this Lu Xunhuan is on. Let the Sixth Prince investigate him."

Qiao Yunzhi hesitated to speak, and in the end she didn't dare to tell what she thought was the truth, and left very unhappy.

Qiao Zheng shook his head: "Is this kid bewitched by that brat Lu Xunhuan?"

In the prison, Lu Xunhuan looked at the night scene outside the window for a while, then turned around and sat on the ground.

Next door, the prefect whispered, "Do you have anyone?"

Lu Xun Huan turned his head and glanced at him, then said, "I'm thinking about how to break the deadlock."

When the prefect heard that he needed to think, he didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he just shut up depressed and said no more.

After a while, the prison door opened and footsteps were heard.

The Sixth Prince, accompanied by the Sixteenth Princess and the young man, walked in under the guidance of the yamen runners.

The bailiff brought the three people to Lu Xunhuan's cell door and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, Lu Xunhuan is here..."

The Sixth Prince nodded slightly and said, "Take Lu Xunhuan out. This Prince wants to question him."

The bailiff quickly opened the door, went in and grabbed Lu Xunhuan: "Let's go."

Lu Xunhuan didn't say anything. He left when the bailiff told him to.

The Sixth Prince waited for Lu Xunhuan to leave the prison, then looked towards the adjacent cell and said, "Take the prefect away as well. This Prince wants to question him as well."

The prison, the secret interrogation room, the cell door is closed.

Lu Xunhuan was brought in and put in shackles and shackles.

The Sixth Prince said, "I heard that you were originally an obscure disciple of the Dengtian Sect, but suddenly rose to prominence. Can you tell me how your strength skyrocketed overnight?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "One night, I encountered a ball of golden light in the mountains behind Dengtian Gate. That golden light struck my body, and I instantly broke through to the Qin Heart Realm."

The Sixth Prince frowned: "Golden light?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Yes, the golden light was wrapped in immortal energy. I don't know where it came from, but I broke through without realizing it."

The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why don't you stay in your sect and cultivate your immortality? Why are you seeking a job in Zhongzhou Prefecture? Do you have some ulterior motive?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "After my strength increases, I want to come out and make some spectacular achievements, so that others will admire me and bring honor to my family."

The Sixth Prince asked again, "You are a disciple of an immortal sect with no connections and no means of escape. Yet, you came to Zhongzhou City and unexpectedly became a captain. Is it that easy?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "There were four candidates for the position of captain at the time. After an open competition, I stood out due to my strength and talent. It was not easy for me to become a captain."

His answer was flawless. Even if the Sixth Prince didn't believe that there was any fairness or justice in this place, he couldn't find any loopholes for the time being.

The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment, then said to the Sixteenth Princess, "You two stay here and continue questioning him. Ask whatever comes to mind. I'll go ask the prefect."

The two young men saluted: "Yes, Uncle Wang."

When Lu Xunhuan heard this, he was surprised. Two young men called the Sixth Prince "Uncle Prince"?

This means that these two young people must be members of the royal family, maybe even a princess and a prince.

After the Sixth Prince left, the Sixteenth Princess walked up to Lu Xunhuan and looked him up and down. "Tell me, was it you who stole the body?"

When Lu Xunhuan heard this, he almost laughed out loud. How could you ask that?

He shook his head and said, "I'm also investigating this matter. How could it be someone who snatched the body? I'm quite confused about this matter. What on earth is there in that old man's body that's worth snatching?"

Princess Sixteen asked, "Do you know about dragon bones?"

When Lu Xunhuan heard this, he was surprised at how naive she was, as she revealed a shocking secret in just two sentences.

He shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. How come that old man has a dragon bone hidden in his body?"

Princess Sixteen said, "I heard from Uncle Six that forty years ago, a dragon bone fell from the sky and was picked up by that old man's family. However, the old man and his family refused to acknowledge it. Later, the whole family died, and only the old man was imprisoned for forty years."

Lu Xun Huan pretended to be enlightened: "So that's how it is. It's not hard to understand why someone would want to steal the body."

Princess Sixteen asked, "Can you find out who stole the dragon bone based on this?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "If the princess lets me go, I will do my best to track me down."

Princess Sixteen pondered and said, "Letting you go... requires the permission of Uncle Sixth Prince..."

Meanwhile, in another interrogation room, the Sixth Prince, holding instruments of torture, said to the prefect, "How much bribe did that boy named Lu give you to make him a captain? Tell the truth."

The prefect shuddered with fear: "It's unjust. I didn't confiscate a single penny. It was entirely because of his ability and leadership skills."

The Sixth Prince said sternly, "Is that so? Is Zhongzhou Prefecture really so honest and upright?"

He raised the torture instruments and was about to torture the prefect.

The prefect begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will tell you, I will tell you."

The Sixth Prince retracted the torture instrument half an inch and said, "Speak."

The prefect said, "I really didn't confiscate a single penny. He is indeed talented, but the most important thing is... Your Highness, he is a member of the Royal Court, and he said he came to Zhongzhou City to investigate corruption on behalf of the royal family."

The Sixth Prince had an incredible expression on his face: "What, Wang Tingsi?"

The prefect said, "Yes, Your Majesty, he is from the Royal Court and has received orders from the King. I dare not disrespect him."

The Sixth Prince's face was gloomy and uncertain. He pondered for a while and then asked, "How many people know that he is from the Wang Tingsi?"

The prefect replied, "Anyway, I have kept this secret. As for whether anyone else knows, I don't know."

The Sixth Prince suddenly attacked, striking the Prefect in the chest: "You know too much."

The prefect covered his heart, his eyes bulging, and collapsed in fear.
