Only in this way can Zhou Zhan be extracted from this case. It has been more than two months since Gui Lao disappeared, and all traces have been faded and difficult to find.
Moreover, Zhou Zhan acted cautiously and handled his tail very cleanly.
"I heard there were many corpses at the scene. Who are they?"
The corpses were so decomposed that it was difficult to tell their identities in life. If he hadn't known in advance that these people were the guards secretly raised by Zhou Zhan, Si Yiluo would have been suspicious.
"I don't know."
Wei Heyan leaned back in his chair with a lazy expression.
"Anyway, it's not a case that I'm investigating, so Sir Si can handle it. I have only one request, to find Mr. Ghost. It's not a good thing for you and me to have such an expert hermit hidden in the capital, Sir Si.
I’m not afraid that one day my food will be poisoned..."
This is what Si Yiluo is worried about. Common poisons on the market are easy to distinguish, but the kind of poison that is colorless, odorless and invisible to people is really scary.
She is not afraid of death, but she also doesn't want to die in confusion.
Seeing that she was frightened, Wei Heyan chuckled.
"Master Si, don't worry too much. Colorless and odorless poison can be found everywhere. The person who asked Gui Lao to leave may have a bigger conspiracy. For example..."
Regicide!
He put away his joking expression and exchanged a look with Si Yiluo.
"This governor can fully cooperate with Mr. Si to find the person behind the scenes."
His boldness and arrogance depended on Emperor Yao's trust. Even if he planned to use him and even wanted to replace him, now was not the time.
If something happens to Emperor Yao, all his plans will collapse.
King Zhan, who was supported by Si Yiluo, had no chance of winning. King Chen was the direct descendant, King Rong was the elder, and the new emperor was probably one of them.
"Have people investigate Prince Rong and Prince Chen more closely." Wei Heyan ordered, "It's best to investigate Zhou Chang as well."
Zhou Chang is leaning towards Zhou Chen on the surface, but he has done a lot of things secretly, and he may have wanted to replace him. Maybe he kidnapped Gui Lao, poisoned Emperor Yao, and framed Zhou Chen, so that Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen
Sandpipers and clams fight.
Take down two powerful enemies at once.
Everyone is suspect.
Si Yiluo reminded: "Princes have fame but no power. If they want to ascend to the throne, they cannot do without powerful ministers. The most powerful people in the court, apart from the governor, are only Prime Minister Shen and the two pavilion elders."
Wei Heyan looked at her with his chin raised, and said with admiration: "Does Mr. Si know something, or does he rely entirely on reasoning? I think the matter is not simple."
Si Yiluo just played a little trick in front of him, but he saw through it.
She could only lie to get through it.
"This official is just inferring that if there is something wrong, I would like to ask the governor to enlighten me."
She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. Wei Heyan stood up, walked to her, and tapped her on the forehead.
"Every time I feel guilty, I just look at the ground and pretend to be good. Is it true that the governor can't tell?"
He...he just hit her on the head?
Si Yiluo's eyelids almost opened, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Why did he speak in such an ambiguous tone...
Miao Cong's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he could fit an egg into his open mouth.
Only Si Hai was not surprised. He looked at Wei Heyan's back and wiped away tears of relief. His governor was mainly getting along with Mr. Si, so that he would be able to eat and sleep in the future, and he would have less to worry about...
Maybe the governor of his family is in a good mood and can reward him with a daughter-in-law!
Si Yiluo took half a step back and distanced himself from him.
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
Wei Heyan pressed forward: "What are you afraid of?"
He leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Master Si is the only one who dares to leave the Governor's banquet without saying goodbye, and does not give the Governor face in this way."
He doesn't remember her trying to kill him?
Then...doesn't he also remember the cousin she called out?
Xihai reached out and covered Miao Cong's eyes. Miao Cong felt that he must have been hallucinating because he hadn't seen the sun for too long and smelled the corrupt air in the cell all day long.
"The governor in the palace will pay attention. I will leave the investigation and finding the person to Mr. Si. I believe Mr. Si will not let me down."
Wei Heyan strode away, and Miao Cong's eyes finally regained sight. He hesitated to speak and looked at Si Yiluo, asking: "Do you have that kind of, uh, that kind of relationship with the governor?"
Si Yiluo looked at him when he heard this and frowned: "What kind of relationship?"
Miao Cong bravely raised his hands into fists and nodded with his two thumbs facing each other.
No wonder they, the Jin Yiwei, targeted Wei Heyan and arrested Si Hai's cousins, but they didn't come back with any revenge. If it was the calm before the storm, it would have lasted too long.
He received a blank look from Si Yiluo.
"If you are too free, just dissect the body that Song Yehe sent back and see if there are any clues."
How did Zhou Zhan's guards die? How long did they die? It can be deduced when exactly the ghost elder disappeared, entered Shengjing City, or was sent to other places.
With Gui Lao's poisonous skills, even the most powerful master in the world might not be able to hurt him. Did he follow others on his own initiative or was he coerced?
Check these.
"Also, strengthen the monitoring of the two pavilion elders Shen Sanxing and Bo Bao. If there is any trouble, report it immediately."
Miao Cong and Chen Wang were her direct confidants. Miao Cong had a more calm personality, and he lived in seclusion and spent many years in prison. People outside did not know much about him.
It was perfect to leave such a secret matter to him.
Miao Cong responded yes, looked at her again, and said tangledly: "My lord, I would like to say one more thing. Although Governor Wei has great power, our Jin Yiwei are also trusted by the emperor. You don't have to condescend to lie down in front of him."
Be low and be small.”
"If you have been wronged, we brothers are not vegetarians. There were many people who were not convinced back then, but the situation was not as strong as others, so we could only endure it... Now you have some face in front of the emperor, let's stand tall.
As a human being, I am not afraid of them!"
Si Yiluo behaved openly and honestly, and protected the people under his control from being mistreated in front of outsiders. He also dared to be tough with people from several major yamen. He could snatch cases from the Three Law Divisions and get credit for them, and he would also reward them based on their merits.
unambiguous.
It doesn't matter if such a boss is a woman, Miao Cong just said what was in his heart.
Si Yiluo didn't expect that he would defend her in this way. His defense was broken and he even glared back.
"Which of your eyes saw that I was afraid of Wei Heyan?"
Even though she was frightened, she never gave in to anything she had to do. If it came to a life-and-death situation... the worst she could do was to die with him.
Only then did Si Yiluo realize the reason why she was not confident in defeating him. She had no confidence. The Jin Yiwei in her previous life was Wei Heyan's family dog. Although she also had confidants, even she was just a knife. The people under her hands
How dare you change the world?
Miao Cong's words made her re-examine herself. In this life, it's not that she can't turn the world upside down... it's whether she wants to turn the world upside down!
What if, instead, Wei Heyan humbled himself in front of her?
That scene is exciting just thinking about it.
"It's okay, sir. I'll take my leave first."
Once people's concepts change, inherent thoughts are broken, and the pattern is opened, Si Yiluo finds that the wild horse in her heart is released and runs wild on the prairie.
Only then did Si Yiluo realize that she was also ambitious. Her ambition was fed by him little by little. Her desire for power and her persistence in him were all secretly promoted by him.
If that's the case, why can't she take the initiative?
