Chapter 36 Lingya Three List
"Here."

Since Ling Yuanbao asked for help, he did not hide anything at all. He directly took Liang Yue back to the Ministry of Justice, took out the account book from the locked cabinet, and placed the file in front of him.

Liang Yue also discovered the advantage of Captain Ling, which is that he is obedient.

Or in other words, trust the people you employ.

After all, he had not yet completely gotten rid of his identity as a suspect in this case, so he just handed over all the evidence and files. Then he sat opposite with his hands on his chin, looking like he was in complete control.

Liang Yue didn't say much, sat down and started looking through the account book.

The account book was not thick, and it recorded some of the daily expenses of the Zhen Mansion. It was a bit fragmentary, mostly trivial matters. Zhen Zhushi had no other income besides his salary, so it didn't look complicated.

The daily expenses of the Zhen family were indeed very frugal. Apart from the food and clothing expenses of the father and son and the old gatekeeper, and Zhen Xiaohao's expenses in the academy, there was basically nothing else, and there was indeed no personal relationship at all. This thin booklet recorded all the accounts in recent years.

Although it was thin, Liang Yue read it very slowly, as if he wanted to read every word carefully and seriously.

After a while, Ling Yuanbao felt a little bored and asked, "How can I help?"

"Please pour me a glass of water." Liang Yue said very naturally without raising his head.

"Eh?" Ling Yuanbao tilted his head, feeling something was wrong, but seeing that Liang Yue was focused, he stood up and poured Liang Yue a cup of tea.

After a while, Liang Yue just finished looking through the account book, put it down, exhaled, and said: "The income and expenditure of the account are consistent. There is no need to check these trivial things. It seems that there is really no problem."

"You can't see the problem either." Ling Yuanbao was slightly disappointed.

"It's okay, I'll look through the files again." Liang Yue smiled and said, "There's no rush for this kind of thing."

Although he was an eyewitness to the murder, there were many things in the subsequent investigation by the Ministry of Justice that he was not aware of, so he read the file again.

There was nothing much to say about the investigation of the crime scene. After his last reasoning, he had determined that the murderer was a martial arts master who had committed the murder in a very bold way.

It is impossible to identify the murderer from the scene.

His focus was on the investigation of Zhen Changzhi's interpersonal relationships.

Liao Zhongchun, the head of the Ministry of Justice who had visited him before his death, was also questioned and said that he had visited him simply to chat about his recent situation. The two had been classmates since childhood and had a deep relationship. They would meet like this every few days.

As for the letter Liang Yue mentioned, he was completely unaware of it.

There are basically no clues here.

But Zhen Changzhi did not have any enemies. As the head of the Ministry of Industry, he was responsible for reviewing engineering drawings and auditing construction costs, and he had been working diligently for many years.

If there was anything wrong, there would not be such a clean reputation for the officials.

Sitting in his position, it is inevitable that he will offend some people. Indeed, someone once accused him of accepting bribes and raising the cost. However, after multiple investigations, it was found that he had no private contact with anyone at all, and these were all false accusations.

He is so clean!
Anyone who has read the file may have doubts...Did Zhen Changzhi pick up those tens of thousands of taels of silver while walking one day?

Or maybe someone built a wall into his house while he was sleeping and framed him?
After checking it out, Liang Yue put down the book, rubbed his eyes, and then looked up and said, "I really can't see any problems for now. I'll go back and think about it carefully."

"Okay." Ling Yuanbao seemed to have lost hope and said, "You can't take the original with you, but you can make a copy."

"No need." Liang Yue smiled and pointed to his head, "It's all here."

Ling Yuanbao blinked, "Huh?"

……

Liang Yue was not exaggerating. After a careful check just now, Zhen Changzhi's account books and files were already in his mind.

It is said that when one reaches a very high level of cultivation and has a strong spiritual consciousness, one will have the power of photographic memory. Or a mystic who cultivates the soul will also have this ability at an earlier level.

Liang Yue naturally had nothing to do with these, it was just a trivial test preparation trick. When he was reading the book, he found that as long as he repeated every sentence in his mind, he could remember it.

However, when he shared this technique with others, everyone generally felt that it was not very practical.

When I returned to the station, I found that everyone was gathered together, discussing something enthusiastically.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue asked in confusion, "Isn't today the day to pay the monthly salary?"

"There are new changes to the Lingya Three Lists, and all the major restaurants in Shendu have posted them." Chen Ju turned around and handed him a booklet. It was obvious that someone had written it in sloppy handwriting.

"The Lingya Top Three?" Liang Yue asked as he took it, "Why are you paying attention to this?"

"The battle for the city will be held next year, so everyone is paying more attention to it. Any slight change in the list at this time will cause discussion," Chen Ju explained.

"Oh, that's right." Liang Yue finally understood.

The Lingya Three List is a grand event in the world.

There is an island called Lingya in the South China Sea. On the island there is a towering mountain. One of the mountain walls is extremely flat, and the surface is all smooth and warm jade. The scale is amazing and the value is inestimable.

The owner of this island calls himself "Wuzhizhi". No one has ever seen his true appearance, but anyone who acts wildly on Lingya Island will be punished by him.

On the first day of every month, the jade wall of Lingya would shine brightly, and on it would appear three lists deduced by Wuzhi.

The “Tiantian List” ranks the strongest people at the highest level in the human world.

The "Young Unicorn List" ranks the young geniuses with the highest level under the age of 20.

The "List of Immortal Objects" lists the greatest treasures in the world, including magical weapons, magic tools, spiritual plants, etc.

In recent decades, more and more people have gone to Lingya Island to observe and regularly copy the three lists and send them back to Kyushu. After various comparisons, it was discovered that Nanhai Wuzhishi's deduction had never been wrong.

Of course, there have been cases where those on the list have defeated those who are stronger than them, but this list is arranged based on realm and cannot directly indicate combat power.

Magical weapons, elixirs, talismans, formations... all these external objects; there are also the characteristics of cultivation, such as a fragile mystic being approached by a warrior; even the physical condition of the day, can affect the level of combat power and the outcome. But the realm is real, high is high.

Gradually, the Lingya Three List became the most credible list in the world.

However, this kind of thing was only widely spread among people in the martial arts world. Liang Yue had just started practicing martial arts and was working in the government. He had only heard people talk about it in teahouses and taverns before. This was the first time he saw the contents of the list.

He has never paid much attention to such things. No matter who is on the list, it will not be him in the end.

But since Chen Ju handed it to him, he took a look and saw that the first thing on it was the Tongtian Ranking.

"First on the Tongtian Ranking, King Zhu."

"Huh?" he asked, "Isn't the top of the Tongtian Ranking at the Immortal Realm?"

There are three great immortal realms in the world: the Jiuyang Martial God Kuo Muye, the Yin Dynasty’s Great Priest Bei Luo Shimen, and the Master of the Mysterious Heaven Chen Yandao. It’s hard to say who is stronger or weaker, but none of them can be challenged by the immortals.

There is absolutely no doubt about this.

"Hey, you don't even know this." Chen Ju said, "The Immortal Realm is not on the list. Since it is the Immortal Realm and is not in the Five Elements, the Heavenly Ranking lists those who are on the road to heaven, and the Immortal Realm is already above the sky. Nanhai Wuzhizhi certainly cannot deduce it."

"I see." Liang Yue nodded.

“So Zhu Renwang, who is at the top of the list, is actually fourth in the world.” Chen Ju raised four fingers and said.

Liang Yue said: "No wonder the Bashan bandits are so difficult to deal with."

Naturally, everyone knows the name of King Zhu.

The Bashan bandits have dominated Liangzhou for more than ten years, almost forming a country of their own, and the leaders of the bandits are the three brothers Zhu Renwang, Gu Renxiong, and Lu Renxian. The bounties offered by the court for them are all sky-high, and they are all on the list of the best.

To be able to make so many bigwigs in the Ministry of War helpless, he must have extraordinary abilities.

The second on the Tongtian list is Han Longxiang, the leader of the northern monks and abbot of Jilei Temple.

This man, who once rode alone into the Divine Capital and defeated the twelve divine generals of Wu'an Hall, was also an unparalleled warrior, and his second place is undisputed.

The highest ranking person in the imperial court is the imperial preceptor.

"Number seven on the All-Seeing Ranking, Li Longchan."

The Yin Dynasty's National Master has countless followers, and equally countless people who hate him. However, no matter whether they praise him or criticize him, one thing that everyone absolutely recognizes is that he has powerful cultivation.

There are a total of seventy-two positions on the list, covering all the warriors in the world, the three religions' Qigong practitioners, and the mystic masters. There cannot be any ordinary people on the list, and each of them is a well-known big shot.

Occasionally, a few do not show their real names, but instead use nicknames.

This is because the person himself has hidden his identity and has not used his real name in the world. Nanhai Wuzhizhi will not expose it.

This is also quite humane.

After all, not every strong person wants others to know how powerful they are.

After scanning the Tongtian List, Liang Yue looked at the geniuses under the age of 20 on the Youlin List. These were all people of their age.

"First on the Young Lin Rankings, Feng Nanjue."

Another familiar name.

It is said that he is the direct disciple of the Martial God Kuo Muye. He could tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands at the age of six. He has been training with the Martial God for twelve years. I believe that he will be the nemesis of the strong men in Jiuzhou in the future.

You can tell from his name that his attitude towards the Southern Kingdom's Yin Dynasty is not so friendly.

"Second on the Young Unicorn List, Qi Yingwu."

Liang Yue seemed to have heard of this name. He seemed to be the eldest senior brother of the Mei class of the Kendo Academy, and also a member of the Qi family, one of the four great families.

"Third on the Young Unicorn Ranking, Wu Qilong."

I don't know who this person is. Young prodigies are not as stable as famous strongmen, so it is normal for one to suddenly emerge.

Although they were all of the same age, to them, those who were on the Young Unicorn List were like heavenly beings and there would not be any intersection between them, so he just glanced over them.

The only one who allowed him to stay longer was the fourth place.

"Number four on the Young Unicorn Ranking is Wen Yifan."

"Miss Wen is so powerful?" he couldn't help but say.

"Hehe." Chen Ju laughed and said, "Besides, the Yu Jian lineage is the best in killing people in Xuanmen. In terms of real combat power, the above three may not be able to defeat her."

Thinking of the sharpness of her sword coming from the west, Liang Yue nodded in agreement.

"I dare not even think about it. If I can make it onto the Young Unicorn Ranking, even if I'm at the bottom." Chen Ju said enviously, "Then I'm afraid there will be countless beauties throwing themselves at me. I'll have three during the day and four at night... No, four during the day and three at night..."

"It's a pity indeed." Liang Yue said with a smile: "If there is a ranking of the most lustful people in the world, you will definitely be at the top of the list."

There are only thirty-six people on the Young Unicorn List, and above that is the Immortal Object List.

The first name made Liang Yue's pupils shrink and his expression was slightly surprised.

"Number one on the Immortal Items List, the Nine Secret Heavenly Book."

　Good morning.
