Chapter Fifty-Seven

Shen Ning has basically not participated in any entertainment activities in the past two days, except for training. If the visit to Clothing Street with Ying Xianhui in the past two days is not included.

The Jin Dynasty had a developed economy, and the people actually used a lot of entertainment activities, such as theaters, flower streets, cockfights, and so on.

The most interesting ones are of course listening to music and arranging flowers and jade.

In the past, Shen Ning was still young and devoted to cultivation, so he didn't have the time or the inclination to go to such a place. Now he has the intention. But as the quasi-consort, he still has to care about his reputation, so he can only regret that his life is not good. Perfect.

So when Gu Yanwu and Zi Fulingyue asked him what he had done in the past few days, Shen Ning said righteously that he was thinking of loopholes in their plan.

"Really?" In Gu Yanwu's courtyard, he looked at Shen Ning with suspicion.

"Of course." Shen Ning asked without blushing, "Have you made any progress in the past few days?"

If you want to change the subject that embarrasses you, the best way is to bring up something else that you care about.

Zi Fulingyue didn't think so much, and summarized the clues summarized in the past few days into one sentence, "They have been very cautious in their behavior over the years. They cover up all their killing methods as the work of monsters. It is impossible to tell the origin of the person who did it." There has been no assassination incident recently among the hundreds of families in the Immortal Sect."

Shen Ning had already expected this. They had already put the matter on the table. As long as the other party did not act stupidly, they would not make any moves in a short period of time to avoid leaving evidence gaps.

"Although there is no progress in this area, I got this." As she said that, Zi Fulingyue took out a black wooden sign from her waist with the word "dark" written in red on it.

Shen Ning took the token and looked at it. He found that it did not belong to any of the public forces in Shenjing City, so he turned his attention to Zi Fulingyue.

"On my way here, I noticed someone was following me, so I took him outside the city. After a fight, I reluctantly kept the token." Zi Fulingyue's tone was very calm, as if the person being followed was someone else. She is the same.

Shen Ning clicked his tongue, shook his head and said: "The King of Qin was not as calm as he thought. He knew you wanted to make things bigger, but he didn't dare to assassinate you at such a critical moment, so he had to send people to keep an eye on you. I accidentally left this token behind."

"Are there any other clues?"

"there is none left."

Shen Ning put the token away and then said thoughtfully: "You can change the current direction and use the token as a breakthrough point to see if you can figure out the origin of the token."

"good."

I don’t know where it started, but Zi Fulingyue started to obey Shen Ning’s words.

After the two people finished talking, they all looked at Gu Yanwu.

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Yanwu crossed his legs and swayed on the chair, speaking in a lazy tone, "Let me tell you, if you hadn't said that King Qin had problems, judging from his style, I think the Great Jin Dynasty I'm afraid there is no such a good king in the history books."

"Then why don't you tell me what he did?"

Gu Yanwu took out a small notebook from his arms, which recorded the whereabouts of King Qin he had observed in the past few days, and read aloud: "On August 12, King Qin left the palace at Mao hour and came to Sansi Yamen (the Jin Dynasty is responsible for fire prevention and theft patrol). The city's department) handled a dispute caused by a fire a few days ago. Before noon, I had no time to eat. During the report of my subordinates, I personally led the arrest of a bandit and worked in the Sansi Yamen until the third watch. Go back to the palace."

"On August 13, King Qin worked in the Sansi Yamen all day without going out. When passing by a restaurant, he ordered a plate of fennel beans and soju. After eating, he returned to the palace."

"On August 14th, the King of Qin was lazy today. He took an actor supported by his family to visit Taoshan. He was very happy to miss Shu. He also wrote several poems on the way. One of the better ones was called "The Story of Encountering Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple" on that day.

, we met for the first time under the peach blossom tree... When spring comes and the fragrance of March blows in the wind, it is the flower slave who greets you. The poem is very good, but the actor does not show his smile. "

"On August 15th, the King of Qin invited an old Taoist priest who practiced spiritual consciousness and asked him to use his magic to reconstruct the details of the night when the evil heretics escaped in the Jokhang Temple. The old Taoist priest was willing to shorten his life by thirty years for the sake of the world's righteousness.

Nian used magic to spy, and after whispering to the King of Qin, he vomited blood and fell unconscious. He is currently being guarded in an inn. After settling the Taoist priests, the King of Qin immediately entered the palace to meet His Majesty."

"On August 16th, King Qin left the palace at Mao Shi, and everything was as usual."

After Gu Yanwu finished reading, he spread his hands and said: "It's just some random daily routine. I don't know what the purpose of asking me to monitor him is. Are you telling others that King Qin keeps actors in captivity?"

The Jin Dynasty attached great importance to ethics, but was extremely tolerant in this aspect, which was not considered a big deal.

After listening to Gu Yanwu's detailed report, Shen Ning looked at him with disdain and then explained: "If you want to defeat someone, the best way is to find a breakthrough in his daily life. What you just said

Those daily routines provided us with at least three useful clues."

"The first point is the actor. From the fact that the King of Qin wrote poems for him, it is not difficult to see that he is very favored by the King of Qin. He may know some secrets. The second point is the old Taoist priest. According to my guess, this Taoist priest is

The Hundreds of Immortal Schools should be quite famous. Their ability to look back at time trends and observe world events is probably unparalleled. For the sake of the righteousness of the world, this is just a superficial statement. In fact, it is very likely that they have been influenced by it.

Whether it is a threat or a favor from King Qin, there is no doubt that he will lead the clues to Qingyi Division. If nothing happens, King Qin will definitely take action against Qingyi Division in the next few days! The third point is that Your Majesty,

According to the intelligence compiled earlier, King Qin has reported the matter to His Majesty, but the fact that he has not taken action yet may be because the evidence is not sufficient, or it may be due to other reasons."

After Zi Fulingyue heard this, her brows furrowed.

Gu Yanwu looked confused. He was stunned for a moment and then asked: "So what should we do."

Shen Ning's mouth twitched, these two people really knew nothing about intrigues!

"It's very simple. We have three clues corresponding to three directions of exploration. The first is to kidnap the actor to see if he can get any useful information. The second is to start from the inn where the old Taoist priest lives. The third is to

Let's start with His Majesty and see if we can find out something.

The third method is too risky, so I suggest giving it up. No matter which of the remaining two options you choose, there is a risk of alerting the enemy, so the best situation is to be able to defeat the enemy with one strike and get enough evidence, otherwise we will wait for you.

It will be the backlash of King Qin."

"Can't we wait any longer?" Zi Fulingyue asked, "Let's see if we can find any other clues."

Shen Ning immediately denied: "We can't wait any longer. The escape of the evil heretics is an immeasurable loss to Shenjing City. What happened in the imperial city is also a thorn in His Majesty's heart, and it is no longer irritating all the time." He is targeting Mingjun. I suspect that King Qin may have obtained His Majesty's tacit approval and is just preparing for action. After all, Qingyi Division, as a cultivator institution of the Jin Dynasty, has a lot of responsibilities. Acting rashly will bring consequences. I can't bear the consequences. If I wait until King Qin takes action, it may be too late by then."

"There are quite a few cultivators from Qingyi Division who follow the crown prince. It's impossible for the King of Qin to kill them all, right?" Gu Yanwu asked a question at this time that made both of them look contemptuous.

Shen Ning rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Killing is impossible. Your Majesty will definitely not allow anyone to massacre Qingyi Division on a large scale. What King Qin wants to do is just to get rid of a few core people. Even if No, it would be best to imprison him. As for the remaining people, he alone has the final say whether to win over or assassinate them."

While Shen Ning and the other three were discussing, a crow suddenly flew from outside and stopped on the window sill, shouting, "Your Majesty has an order. All Tsing Yi Division personnel who are in Shenjing City must return to the Tsing Yi Division as soon as possible." , return to Qingyi Division quickly."

When the three people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
