Chapter 103
"Wuyan, Yu Sizhi, you are all masters in investigating cases. From your professional perspective, what do you think?" Qi Jinglin eagerly sought the approval of professionals.
Yu Qingfeng clapped her hands and agreed sincerely: "That must be the case. Those who can cultivate dead soldiers must be powerful people, people in the palace."
Qi Jinglin was only half relaxed, he still cared more about Pei Wuyan's opinion.
"It can be considered that way for the time being." Pei Wuyan still wanted to retain his rigorous personality and leave himself a way out.
Qi Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief, "The leader who sent dead soldiers to secretly kill the palace people must be the lackey of the real murderer who murdered my mother."
Yu Qingfeng heard the implication in Qi Jinglin's words, "Your Highness, you have already chosen someone? It is impossible for this person to personally cultivate dead soldiers. It must be his lackeys who are doing this for him?"
"Yes, I have a very suspicious object."
Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan looked at each other again, and once again tacitly understood who this person Qi Jinglin was very suspicious of. But they still couldn't tell, they had to wait for Qi Jinglin to say it himself.
"After the death of the queen, Zhaoyi ascended the throne of the queen - the Zhou family!" Qi Jinglin gritted his teeth and gave the answer.
Sure enough, the answer is the same. The first queen is dead, so the current queen is obviously the winner of the palace fight. Whoever benefits is suspicious, and Queen Zhou is indeed the most suspicious.
"Wuyan, Qingfeng, I regard you as one of my own and my friends. Please help me avenge my mother!"
Yu Qingfeng understood that since they were outside the palace, there was no way to find evidence of Queen Zhou's crimes in the harem. Qi Jinglin wanted them to find other palace residents who had been dismissed from the palace, so that those who knew the truth could accuse the real culprit.
No, that's not right. Yu Qingfeng immediately rejected her speculation. Let the palace people testify against the current queen? Impossible.
Qi Jinglin must have wanted them to find the palace servants in Dali Temple, and thus find the dead men, who would then testify against Queen Zhou's lackeys, and the lackeys would then testify against Queen Zhou.
Although there are a lot of procedures to go through and the success rate doesn't seem to be very high, this is indeed Qi Jinglin's only way.
"No problem." Yu Qingfeng agreed first. After all, this is the mission of these people and they cannot escape. Only by success can the drama end.
"Wuyan?" Qi Jinglin was still more concerned about Pei Wuyan's attitude and wanted a promise from him.
Yu Qingfeng was ignored by Qi Jinglin again, and she turned to look at Pei Wuyan.
Pei Wuyan was watched expectantly by the two people and had to express his stance.
"I try my best."
It's still watertight, very Pei Wuyan.
Qi Jinglin smiled bitterly and patted Pei Wuyan on the shoulder, "I believe you will not let me down."
Yu Qingfeng sighed: "If the mastermind of the murder and silence is really Empress Zhou, I have to admit that she really doesn't mind the trouble. A dead soldier kills someone and assassinates him, but he has to create a case. Every time he kills a person, he loses one person.
Death warrior."
Pei Wuyan explained: "Dead soldiers are for losses. If it is an assassination, one or two is okay, but the Queen's Chunhua Palace has nearly a hundred people. If there are too many assassinations or missing persons reported from various places in a short period of time,
These cases are all foreigners with no relatives, so they will definitely attract the attention of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."
Yu Qingfeng later realized that the costume dramas she had watched were either about machinations, martial arts or romance. If there were dead men, they would just kill them and not delve into what would happen next.
Nowadays, in ancient costume suspense dramas with Dali Temple Qing as the protagonist, murder cases are the main focus. Naturally, you can't just kill whoever you want. Every dead person must have a follow-up explanation.
Qi Jinglin clapped his hands, "Yes, it is safest to hide these silenced targets in murder cases involving personal grudges. Otherwise, once the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishments discover the clues and conduct an in-depth investigation, they will still find out the commonalities of these deceased people, and then investigate
To the mother's side.
"So Wuyan, you have to look for suspicious cases among the cases reported to Dali Temple and see if there are any murderers who have slipped through the net and are still alive.
"It would be better if we could find the former palace maid before the dead man. Firstly, we can protect the palace maiden and testify in the future. Secondly, we can set up a trap to wait for the dead man to fall into the trap."
The main plot case sounds like a hot potato. The opponent may be the queen of the dynasty, and there is also a group of dead soldiers, but as the male protagonist, Pei Wuyan has to take it.
"I obey the decree." The three words Pei Wuyan actually mean "try your best" and there is no guarantee of results.
"By the way, Your Highness, you said that the palace officials in Chunhua Palace know the truth about the murder of the late Queen. Did they witness the murder of the late Queen with their own eyes?"
Of course, Yu Qingfeng was convinced that Queen Zhou, that is, Zhou Zhaoyi, could not directly enter Chunhua Palace and kill the queen. The palace fight must have used more secretive methods.
Qi Jinglin pursed his lips, shook his head slowly, and stopped talking several times, as if he had something to hide.
Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan still did not rush, and slowly waited for Qi Jinglin to calm down and organize his words.
"One month before my mother was killed, she lingered on the bedside. She was thin and haggard, and she was suspicious. She told me that she, she was hit, she was hit..."
"Evil?" Yu Qingfeng suddenly realized that all the cases in this drama involve superstition. It seems that the late empress also died in a strange incident.
"The art of being tired of winning." Qi Jinglin took a deep breath and gave the answer helplessly.
"The trick of getting tired of winning is to stab the villain?" Yu Qingfeng said quickly.
Qi Jinglin pursed his lips and nodded stiffly, "The empress believed it. She said that her body often hurt here and there, numbness there, and she vomited and fell into coma for no reason. She saw the imperial doctor, but could not find anything wrong. She drank some nourishing and precious medicinal materials.
Still no improvement.”
"The art of being tired of winning," Pei Wuyan said playfully, "using this technique to kill people and kill their hearts is so destructive."
"Wuyan, do you believe in the art of being tired of winning?" Qi Jinglin was surprised.
"Of course I don't believe it. But the reason why the art of hating victory can harm people is that it can only harm those who believe in it."
Yu Qingfeng secretly lamented that the murderer who murdered the late empress was really a master in killing without blood and leaving the other person to perish. What she had to do was to create an illusion and plant a seed of fear in the other person's heart, and then do something small.
, just wait for the good news.
"Oh, my mother has always believed in this, but I can't blame my mother. Isn't it the same with my father? He worships the Imperial Master and thinks about refining elixirs and ascending to heaven every day."
Qi Jinglin really regarded Pei Wuyan as one of his own, and complained about his own father, the emperor, again and again in front of them.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty intends to suppress the truth about the death of the late Queen, wouldn't you be going against His Majesty? Even if we have the evidence, if His Majesty does not admit it, there are of course countless reasons for not admitting it."
Pei Wuyan is very pessimistic, and Yu Qingfeng thinks he is very unheroic.
But Yu Qingfeng soon realized that no, Pei Wuyan's lack of optimism was necessary.
Because the plots of the two dramas are intertwined! Changes have occurred on both sides, and everything has become unpredictable.
Qi Jinglin's character remains unchanged. He said firmly: "I have no intention of inheriting the throne. What I want is not the country, but the truth and justice. If my father cannot give me what I want by then, I will
Then he will find his own way to take revenge."
Pei Wuyan nodded and sighed heavily. He knew Qi Jinglin. If this knot in his heart was not solved for him, he might really break up with the emperor, as long as the beauty did not want the king.
As soon as they returned to Dali Temple, the two went straight to the bookstore where the records were stored in Dali Temple.
Originally, Duan Ling, the chief bookkeeper of Dali Temple, was in charge of the archives, and Duan Ling's duty should be to search for case files with them, but Pei Wuyan directly asked Duan Ling to stay alone, saying that the two of them should get along alone and find some interesting people.
Compare the cases.
Duan Ling obeyed the order. Pei Wuyan wanted to be alone with Yu Qingfeng. Anyone who understands will understand.
The two of them were busy from afternoon to evening, asking the cook to bring the food in, eating and watching, and they were busy until the end of the day.
It's better to go paperless and digitally. After entering the conditions, the results will come out. Now, it's better to rely on human eyes to see. The most important thing is that they flipped through piles of case files and found a suspicious person.
Didn't find it.
Yu Qingfeng's eyes were sore, so she leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to rest, while she massaged her cervical spine.
"You go back and rest first. I'll take a rest after watching for half an hour." Pei Wuyan took the time to look up at Yu Qingfeng and said, "Be careful of dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."
"The first thing a new official should do when he takes office is that it's a good time to make contributions. How can we be afraid of hardship and fatigue?"
Yu Qingfeng's wishful thinking has not changed. If she wants to be the female minister of Dali Temple, she must be at least a young minister, but this cannot be said clearly.
"Okay, then go and cook two bowls of ginger soup and bring it to us. At this time of year, the night is still cold."
Yu Qingfeng appreciated it, but Pei Wuyan asked her to go out to stretch her muscles and give her eyes a rest.
"Okay, I'll go and come back quickly."
It was already so late, and Yu Qingfeng didn't want to bother other servants. She went to the small kitchen to make ginger soup, poured it into the teapot, took two teacups and put them on the tray, and then returned.
The road was very quiet, and occasionally a few patrolling guards could be seen. The shadows of the trees were dancing under the moonlight, the wind was passing by, making a rustling sound, and occasionally there were a few unknown birds chirping strangely.
Coupled with some underworld soundtrack, it has an absolute horror movie atmosphere.
Yu Qingfeng suddenly felt a little flustered and quickened her pace.
Seeing that the library was approaching, suddenly a black shadow flashed across the roof. Yu Qingfeng couldn't tell whether it was a person or the shadow of a tree.
If it were a person who climbed over eaves, walked over walls, and climbed onto rooftops in the middle of the night, wouldn't he be the man in black?
Yu Qingfeng quickened her pace and ran into the bookstore. As soon as she entered, she heard the door behind her slam shut.
Ancient doors were not automatic and had no springs. This meant that someone closed the door behind her!
Putting down the tray in her hand, Yu Qingfeng quickly turned around and pushed the door open.
I can't push it open, someone locked the door!
If the routine was followed, Yu Qingfeng should continue to push the door hard and shout: Let me out, who are you? Let me out quickly!
Whenever she sees this kind of plot, Yu Qingfeng will complain: This is just like shouting the word "stop" when you are chasing someone. It is nonsense and a waste of time.
If the villain is so obedient, then his acting is useless.
Chapter completed!
