“Didn’t Feng Gu leave anything else?” Jiang Wang asked Lin Youxie.
"Of course there are some other clues, but they are all used to create suspicions. In order to confuse the people handling the case, and even more so the people behind the scenes. His clues were given to me, and he knew I could see through the fog," Lin Youxie said.
: "Because my father is Lin Kuang."
"With all due respect." Jiang Wang said calmly: "If there is no ironclad evidence, no matter what you do, it will be meaningless. Our analysis here can only be analysis."
Lin Youxie said: "I can't prove who is the murderer of Concubine Lei's assassination, but I only need to prove that my father's death is related to the current queen. This is why Feng Gu wants me to participate in this case."
Lin Kuang died while investigating the assassination of Concubine Lei. If it can be proven that his death was not suicide and was related to the queen, it can indeed be regarded as an important piece of evidence that can link the death of the current queen and Concubine Lei.
“How do you plan to prove it?” Jiang Wang asked.
“This is my business.” Lin Youxie said.
Jiang Wang originally thought that Lin Youxie came to ask for help today, and was even ready to help, but she didn't expect that she was not. It seemed that she jumped into the carriage halfway just to tell Jiang Wang what she believed to be the truth.
“Why are you telling me this?” Jiang Wang asked.
Lin Youxie paused and said: "My father is the best one since the establishment of Qingpai. He has solved countless cases in his life and devoted himself to his duties. He will not commit suicide, nor should he commit suicide... I hope that if something happens to me,
, there are still people who will remember these things.”
“I hope nothing happens to you.” Jiang Wang said slowly, “Because no one will remember him for so long except you.”
Lin Youxie's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything lowered slightly, and his gaze fell on the corner of his clothes: "When we were on the offshore islands, you told me that you were going to save someone at the sea festival ceremony.
I think you must be lying to me, and you are using such ridiculous and unrealistic reasons to lie to me.
But the strange thing is...I still believe it.
Then I thought, how are you going to do it?
I can’t think of it.
But I saw it.
I saw you went to the Tianya Platform and suspended the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony. I heard that you went to the Lost World and completed the almost impossible task of cleansing your sins.
You went to Tianya Terrace for the second time, killed Ji Shaoqing, and pressed your sword against Diaohailou. No one in the same area dared to challenge you.
At that time, the entire offshore archipelago was spreading your name.
You return as a hero...
Perhaps you don’t believe it, but you inspire me.
I’m not as strong as you, but my heart is just as determined as yours.”
Jiang Wangdao: "The reason why you believed me at that time was because you were also chasing the impossible. You are also such a determined person. I have only been involved in this case for a few days, and I already feel the suffocating pressure. And you
But after working hard for so many years under this kind of pressure...do you have any impulsive plans now?"
"You are overthinking it." Lin Youxie said: "It's just that you are the most genius person I know. I believe that one day, you will be able to reach the top. I mean if... if something happens to me.
I would like to solemnly request you to reopen my father's case when you have spare capacity."
After saying that, she faced Jiang Wang and bowed down in the carriage.
Jiang Wang put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her back to her seat: "Lin Baotou, how can it be so easy to be in the top position? It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."
He thought for a while and finally asked: "There is a man named Du Fang, who was born in Qingpai. Do you know him?"
Lin Youxie was startled for a moment, and then he said after a long silence: "The person who threw my father's body in front of me back then... is called Du Fang. He is my father's subordinate, and he can be regarded as half of my father."
Disciple, his explanation at the time was, 'because he was emotionally excited and couldn't accept it for the moment'."
She narrated in a calm voice: "Li Youyun investigated Du Fang, and later gave the conclusion that because of the rules of the Qingpai family, my father refused to teach Du Fang many secret techniques, so Du Fang gradually developed hatred
He wanted to destroy me after my father died. Not long after, Du Fang died unexpectedly while handling the case, and the matter ended."
Li is guilty......
“Who did Du Fang’s death?” Jiang Wang asked.
"I would have told you firmly before that either it was an accident or someone silenced me, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the four major Qingpai families. Because the teaching we have received since childhood is to act within the rules and follow the law in everything.
Moreover, Du Fang’s death only sounds strange, but the actual circumstances of the case are normal. The suspect he was chasing was indeed from Tenglong Realm, but the one who really killed him was the suspect’s father..."
Lin Youxie said: "But now I'm not sure."
Since Li Yougui has secretly joined the Ping Ping Country, the ancestral precepts of the four major Qingpai families naturally cannot interfere with him. Even Lin Youxie himself cannot rule out the possibility of revenge and murder by the four major Qingpai families...
So Lin had a theory, and she couldn't determine the cause of Du Fang's death.
Jiang Wang did not speak for a while.
Lin Youxie continued: "When Li Yougui was being punished, I was at the execution ground. I shouldn't go, but I had to go."
"Li Yougui's relationship with my father was actually very bad. Grandpa Wu said that he had to fight with my father about everything, but he couldn't fight for anything... But after my father died, Grandpa Wu resigned and disappeared for a long time.
, it’s Li Yougui who has been taking care of me.”
"I saw him in the execution ground, and someone was cutting his flesh, and it was falling piece by piece. I saw his expression, and I knew he wanted to curse, something like the court's unfair treatment of the four famous Qingpai families.
if……"
“He wanted to scold but didn’t.”
“Because there are still living people in the Four Qingpai Family, and because I am still alive, he doesn’t want to cause trouble for me.”
“Grandpa Wu does not plan to accept any more disciples. I am the only heir of the four major Qingpai families.”
At this point, Lin Youxie seemed to have finally calmed down her emotions. She looked at Jiang Wang with that insightful look again: "Why did you suddenly mention this person?"
The State of Qi developed too fast and became too strong. In the process, too many people were neglected...
Li Yougui did not belong to the country of equality from the beginning. His situation was completely different from that of Yan Tu.
He could not find an exit amid the glorious history and dilapidated current situation of the Qingpai family. As a Qingpai, he was helpless in the face of Lin Kuang's death. Lin Kuang, who was much better than him, died so weightlessly.
.What can he do?
Where is the future of the four major blue-brand families? Obviously he is confused.
He made different choices with Uriel and Lin Youxie, but his concern for Lin Youxie was not false.
Human beings are so complex.
The more Jiang Wang saw, the less he dared to judge someone lightly.
He just said: "Du Fang has a familiar fellow countryman named Gu Xing. He used to be a general of the Zhufeng Army. He was relieved of his military duties in the 38th year of Yuanfeng and went to sea. Now he is the owner of Bajiao Island.
Lin Youxie's eyelids twitched.
Hajiao Island belongs to the Osawada clan!
And she was suspicious of the Tian family!
Ulie has been secretly investigating the Tian family for so many years since he resigned. He has obtained quite a few clues, but he has never been able to obtain the core evidence.
If Gu Xing, the owner of Bajiao Island, is related to what Du Fang did back then, it will undoubtedly be important evidence tying the assassination of Osawada and Concubine Lei!
“I understand.” She looked deeply at Jiang Wang and said, “Thank you.”
After saying that, she stood up directly.
Looking at her vigorous and resolute look, Jiang Wang couldn't help but said: "Actually, life is very long. I have been waiting for it for so many years, so there is no need to rush."
Lin Youxie stretched out his hand to hold the car door and said softly: "But His Highness Eleven can only die this time."
Jiang Wuqi died only once, and Emperor Qi was saddened by it only once.
The opportunity to thoroughly investigate old cases will probably never come again.
Because the child that was cut out from Concubine Lei’s belly is no longer here...
The car curtains were lowered and no one was left.
Only a faint smell of herbs still describes her.
Jiang Wang was speechless for a long time.
if……
If the current queen is indeed the mastermind behind the assassination of Concubine Lei, Tian Jia was the knife she used back then.
If what Du Fang did was really related to Gu Xing, it was under the control of the Tian family and the implementation of the current queen's will.
Then smashing Lin Kuang's body in front of Lin Youxie not only served as a deterrent, but also had a strong sense of venting anger.
No matter what Lin Kuang did, no matter how "ignorant" he was, the person was already dead, and still venting his anger on a three-year-old little girl was really narrow-minded.
If the queen of a country is so narrow-minded...how can it be a blessing to the world?
If the person behind the scenes is the queen, she can indeed explain a lot of things and connect all the existing clues together.
But why did the Queen want to harm Concubine Lei?
Seventeen years forward, Jiang Wuqi was not even born yet, and the power of the Lei family was mediocre. What threat could Concubine Lei pose?
Jiang Wang couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, he already understood his inner choice
He is also looking for answers.
…
…
Time is moving forward hard, Jiang Wang is practicing hard while waiting for news.
Shadow Guard’s investigation into Gongsun Yu’s Duanji incident, Lin Youxie’s investigation into Bajiao Island’s owner Gu Xing…
Jiang Wang doesn’t have to do everything by himself, and leaves professional matters to professional people. Extraordinary strength is his foundation.
So wait, so practice.
But the first one to come to the door was Zheng Shangming.
It is the winter month, and the frost and wind are already cold.
Everyone in the Jiang family, from the housekeeper to the doorkeeper, put on brand new cotton clothes.
The mental outlook is completely renewed.
At least he has the appearance of a wealthy family.
Zheng Shangming came riding on the new wind. He was well-dressed and neat, and his majesty in his temperament became more and more obvious. After operating in Beiyali for so long, he gradually took over Zheng Shi's authority.
Any new Beiya Captain who is not recognized by his father and son will have a hard time getting rid of their influence in Beiya.
But at the same time, Jiang Wang had no doubt that if he took over the position of Captain of Beiya, he would work very happily with him.
Because Zheng Shangming is now a qualified successor and a sober enough person.
Understand very well what should be done and what should not be done.
Zheng Shi is a person with excellent sense of proportion, and he can definitely find the point where all parties are comfortable.
It’s just that sometimes I feel inexplicably sorry that the original Zheng Shangming can no longer be seen.
Recalling the past is like the wind blowing in the south tower.
Jiang Wang put on his green shirt, and in the independent courtyard, a fire flower appeared and died at his fingertips.
The detailed explanation of "Fireworks Burning the City" flows slowly in my heart.
Taking only "Fire Flowers" as an example, Jiang Wang has yet to see several Taoist arts of the same level that can rival this Taoist art created by Zuo Guanglie.
As the basis of Fireworks Burning the City, it can almost be said to have constructed Zuo Guanglie’s fire-moving Taoism system.
In terms of this technique, Jiang Wang has already bloomed his own flowers and injected his unique vitality. Therefore, his fireworks burning the city must be different from Zuo Guanglie's.
Zheng Shangming stepped into the courtyard and saw this flower of flames that was constantly growing and dying. His most intuitive feeling was "beauty", and then he was amazed by its vitality.
“Your fireworks should have surpassed Zuo Guanglie’s, right?” He couldn’t help but ask.
The flames at the fingertips returned to a spark and fell into the fingertips again, without wasting any energy.
"Only at this level, there are limits. They are all at that position. It cannot be said to be super or not. When it comes to more advanced applications, it is still far away." Jiang Wang looked at Zheng Shangming: "It seems that there is something wrong with this.
You are already 100% sure about the case."
“Eighty percent.” Zheng Shangming said, “There is still a little bit of key evidence missing.”
“Then I want to congratulate you.” Jiang Wang said.
Zheng Shangming asked back: "Shouldn't it be me who congratulates you?"
Jiang Wang was in the courtyard, extending his hand to invite him to sit down: "I have always thought that maybe Lin Youxie found out the truth first."
"We could have excluded Lin Youxie from the case. But..." Zheng Shangming sat down and said quietly: "Although the four major Qingpai families have disappeared, they are the cornerstones of the Qingpai system in the first place. The remaining influence is not
Look down. Even the emperor feels that they should be given an explanation, especially our Beiya."
“What you call an explanation is to let her participate in the case that she should have participated in?” Jiang Wang sat opposite him and asked softly.
There is a small stove standing on the stone table, and a pot of tea is boiling on the stove, and the steam is rising.
"It's hard not to admit that if Beiya didn't nod, she wouldn't even have a chance to find the truth." Zheng Shangming said this very coldly, but it was indeed a heavy fact.
"Are you so sure that you will be able to find the truth before her?" Jiang Wang said: "Lin Youxie has a death wish. How dare you look down on a person who acts with a death wish?"
“That was her choice.” Zheng Shanming said quietly, looking at Jiang Wang: “Brother Jiang, I just want to know your choice.”
It should be said that after Zheng Shangming took the initiative to express his goodwill in the capital inspection office, until now, he and Jiang Wang have been getting along happily, and can even be called "friends".
On the contrary, Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie had a lot of disagreements before.
Lin Youxie has been holding on to Jiang Wang from the beginning. Because of the suspicion that there is no way to hell, he wants to find evidence immediately and nail Jiang Wang to the sky prison.
For a long time, Jiang Wang stayed away from Lin Youxie.
But at this moment.
Jiang Wang could only say: "Brother Zheng, I can't take the position of Captain of Beiya."
Zheng Shangming didn't seem very surprised. After all, Jiang Wang had been hesitating about this issue for too long.
But he still asked: "Why?"
Jiang Wang looked up at the clouds on the horizon and asked with some emotion: "Brother Shang Ming, you said that the position of Captain and Inspector of the Capital Inspection Office represents what exactly does it mean? Is it power or responsibility?"
Zheng Shangming didn't think much about it and answered directly: "It represents the huge power to control the Qing Pai system. As for the rights and responsibilities...the rights and responsibilities are integrated. If you control the Qing Pai, you must bear the responsibilities of the Qing Pai."
Jiang Wang asked again: "So what is Qingpai's responsibility? Of the four words 'inspection captain', which one is more important, 'inspection inspection' or 'duwei'?"
"I think I understand what you mean." Zheng Shanming said slowly: "You have to choose the so-called truth. But Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about, 'eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor'? The Capital Inspection Office is
It is directly under the emperor, not your fiefdom in Qingyang Town. The position of patrol captain...the important thing is not 'inspection' or 'commander', but the unwritten word."
Jiang Wang let out a long sigh of relief and said calmly: "So I can't sit in this position anymore."
Zheng Shangming looked at him: "Brother Jiang, I have always admired you and know that you are a determined person. But today I want to sincerely advise you that the emperor's trust in you is known to the world. Have you ever thought about it?
, how disappointed will the emperor be if you refuse this position? What you refuse is not only the captaincy of Beiya, but also the opportunity to express your loyalty to the emperor. Do you know that your future career may very well be because of your choice today?
And promotion is difficult?”
Of course Jiang Wang knows.
Even if he didn’t know, Chong Xuan Sheng had already told him about it.
But he just said calmly: "Qi is a big country, and there should be enough space to accommodate all kinds of people. If not, I don't think it is my loss."
Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment and said, "Although I don't agree with it, I respect your choice."
He sighed: "Brother Jiang, sometimes I feel that you are really an enviable person."
"What do I have to envy?" Jiang Wang chuckled: "I am alone and have no pride. You are a third-rank official. How many people listen to what you say?"
“People will always envy those who they cannot be.” Zheng Shangming pursed his lips and said, “Brother Jiang, I’ll take my leave now.”
He got up and walked out.
When I was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, I heard Jiang Wang’s voice coming from behind me.
"Brother Zheng. Speaking of which, when you were manipulated by Wen Lianmu's setup...if I killed you by mistake at Cuma Mountain, which would trigger the anger of your father, Captain Beiya. Have you ever thought about it?
Do you need the truth?"
Zheng Shangming stopped.
“I’ve thought about it, I’ve thought about it very seriously.”
He said: "What I'm thinking is, I need power."
He just stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with his back to Jiang Wang.
He said in a calm tone: "Brother Jiang, not everyone can be like you, with the genius to break legends and the courage to break rules. I'm just... doing the hard work of a mediocre person."
