In Linzi City, shocking news spread throughout the city at a terrifying speed.
On the streets and alleys, there are taverns and teahouses, and the sound can be heard.
"Have you heard? When Zhao Xuan, the official of the Ministry of Rites, was assassinated in Xiaolianqiao, those assassins with no way out of hell were Qingyangzi who protected them from entering the city! And then he protected them from escaping!"
"Oh no?"
"No? Su She, the leader of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, happened to bump into their conspiracy outside the city, and was killed on the spot! The people who did it were Hell Wumen King Qin Guang and King Guan Guan, who were both silenced, and
The groom from Bow's Car Shop!"
"That's not right, didn't Su Shegou jump over the wall, buy the news about Bao's Carriage and Horse Racing Company, and directly ambush Qingyangzi on the official road, only to be killed by Jiang Wang, Chong Xuan Sheng, and Chong Xuan Sheng's personal bodyguard together?
"
"Do you believe this? At that time, Jiang Wang's inner palace was not yet established, let alone Chongxuan Sheng! What did they use to kill Su She?"
"Didn't you say that Jitu secretly suppressed it?"
"When Chong Xuan Sheng and Xi Tu left the city, Su She was already dead!"
"Then the Chongxuan family..."
"Hey. Don't say it, don't say it..."
…
"Do you know that the genius of our country is actually the secret son of Ping Ping? He only won the emperor's trust by singing a double act with Cui Zhu at the master's ceremony. In fact, he has only been in Qi for a few years, so how can he be qualified to represent Qi?
country to participate in the competition?”
"Don't talk nonsense, he is the leader of the Yellow River and the pride of our people!"
"What a piece of bullshit pride, you deserve to be sold and you still help count the money! Do you know about the Weeping Temple Case?"
"What are you talking about! This is taboo!"
"Hmph, when the Crying Temple incident happened, apart from Zhang Yong, the only one present was Jiang Wang. Tell me, why is it that every time the Ping Ping Kingdom does something, Jiang Wang is there?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence..."
"Ha! Coincidence! So this time he was covering for the remnants of the Yang Kingdom royal family and killed all the people in Zhaoheng City. Isn't it a coincidence? He stood up for the remnants of the Yang Kingdom royal family and instigated General Cao Jiu to teach Huang Yixing a lesson. What did he cause?
Is it also a coincidence that the people of New Qi and the people of Old Qi are fighting against each other?"
"Isn't this case still under investigation?"
"Let me tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else. My brother-in-law is on duty at the Inspection Office in the capital. The evidence in this case is solid. In fact, there is nothing to investigate at all! I'm just worried that Jiang Wanggang took the title of the leader of the Yellow River and received a heavy reward from the emperor.
, for the sake of the court’s face, we suppressed the matter for the time being. Wait a few years for the limelight to pass, will you take a look again?”
"I still don't believe it. Jiang Wang is the best in the world and has a bright future. Why do you want to be the secret agent of Pingping Country? What good can it do?"
"What people want is ideals, not futures! It's just that their ideals are very extreme. Let me tell you, Jiang Wang has fled abroad now. Do you think he can come back?"
…
…
Rumors like this have created a storm in the city in a very short period of time!
After all, he was a hero praised by the whole country just a while ago. It can be said that no one in Qi State knows Jiang Qingyang. The rumors about him have spread extremely fiercely.
In a luxury carriage passing slowly by the tea house, Li Fengyao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard a few words in the wind: "I said I was just coming back to see his scenery, how come it suddenly spread like this?
"
Li Longchuan, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, it's too sudden. We were drinking together a few days ago, and it was normal at that time. He just went to Zhaoheng City to investigate a case this time.
Unexpectedly, after checking, the person was missing. When I turned around, I saw a pile of cases on my head!"
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know. I can't get in touch with him right now. There's no news from Chong Xuan Sheng."
"Leaving Qi State at this juncture is not a wise choice." Li Fengyao said.
"Who says it's not the case?" Li Longchuan frowned.
Li Fengyao thought for a while and said: "Jiang Wang is not a fool. The only reason why he made such a stupid choice is that he did not leave Qi voluntarily."
"He was on an arrest mission..." Li Longchuan paused here and asked: "You mean, there is something wrong with the two arresters who accompanied him? The third-level green brand Li Yougui, and the arresting god Yue Leng
, they are all long-established gods who have struggled in the Qingpai system for most of their lives."
"I take it for granted. If they have any problems, they won't let them go if they come to the capital inspection office." Li Fengyao glanced at his younger brother: "You seem to have something on your mind?"
Li Longchuan pursed his lips and finally said: "I won't talk about other things. But the story about Jiang Wang leading Hell No Gate into the city... seems to be true."
Li Fengyao raised his chin slightly, his long neck was dazzlingly white, with a cold and proud arc.
"How do you say it?" she asked.
"The time and place for the killing of Su She by King Guang of Qin and the King of Guan Guan were exactly right. Also, when the inspection office was investigating the murder of Xiaolianqiao, one of Chong Xuanzun's subordinates happened to be implicated.
, although his innocence was proven in the end. But you also know that that was when the fight between Chong Xuan Sheng and Wang Yi Wu was fierce."
Li Longchuan said slowly: "In addition, Jiang Wang and Yin Guan... indeed knew each other before coming to Qi State. This matter will be known once they are investigated in You State."
"If this is true, I would like to ask." Li Fengyao said: "The only people present at that time were King Qin Guang, King Wuguan, Jiang Wang, and Su She. Since the first three were in the same group, Su She was already dead.
Yes. Then who spread the news about this?"
"So...there is still some doubt about this matter."
"How do you make it at home?" Li Fengyao asked.
"My father personally went to the Inspectorate to put pressure on him and demanded that he be dealt with impartially. My uncle was able to speak in Donghua Pavilion." Li Longchuan said: "No matter what, if we meet friends, I will not let anyone wrongly accuse him.
"
Li Fengyao opened the car curtain, glanced at the sunny sky, and said: "It's going to rain!"
…
…
The capital inspects the capital.
In a secret room.
Xie Huai'an, the court official, sat upright and looked at the person opposite: "Yue Baotou, what do you have to say?"
Yue Leng put his hands on his knees, sat upright, and said seriously: "Li Yougui has a problem!"
Almost at the same time, almost the same words rang out in another secret room.
It's just that the person speaking was Li Yougui, and the person asking the question was Beiya Captain Zheng Shi.
“There’s something wrong with Yue Leng!”
Li Yougui faced Zheng Shi with an excited tone: "If he has no problem, why did he suddenly join our pursuit? We Qingpai have procedures for handling cases. Although he has a special status and can be more casual, he can't do it as he pleases."
Meng Lang shouldn't be like this! He was originally a sure-shot pursuit, but in the end he was discovered by the other party in advance, and he came to divert the tiger away from the mountain, causing Jiang Captou to disappear as well!"
Zheng Shi looked at him and said slowly: "Can I understand it this way? Li Captou, don't you think there is something wrong with Jiang Wang?"
"I think those rumors outside are completely nonsense!" Li Yougui said: "Although I don't have much contact with Jiang Baotou, I also know that he has a very good character. What's more important is that he was in my university.
Qi has a bright future. No matter where he goes, there will be no better development. He did those things only because his brain was in trouble!"
"But the whole family in Zhaoheng City was wiped out..." Zheng Shi said: "The scene was indeed Jiang Wang's sword style."
Li Yougui said decisively: "It's too easy to imitate, and it's not enough evidence! If Yue Leng used his alias to catch gods and deliberately arranged the scene, who could see through it?"
"What do you think?" Zheng Shi asked, "What is Yue Leng's motive?"
"I don't know about that." Li Yougui's eyes flashed: "Maybe it's for the Dongzhen Realm's qualifications, maybe it's for some other reason. Maybe... Equality Country? If possible, I suggest you search directly
soul!"
Zheng Shi lowered his head and flipped through the files without speaking.
This suggestion is completely impossible. Considering Yue Leng's identity and status, let alone the fact that there is no conclusive evidence at present, even if he has been convicted, the emperor's consent is required to search for Yue Leng's soul.
For practitioners, having their souls searched is the greatest shame. Having their secrets known to others throughout their lives leaves them with no self-esteem. Nine times out of ten, those who have their souls searched will have their Taoist hearts collapse.
In the process of soul searching, if you are not careful, your soul will be destroyed.
