He left the morgue and stepped on the bare floor tiles. When he passed by the prison, he bumped into Zheng Shangming.
Or rather, Zheng Shangming had calculated the time and was waiting for him here.
"You're done with the examination?" Zheng Shangming asked.
At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to him. "Brother Jiang, you have to make a decision about the Commandant of the Northern Yamen as soon as possible."
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.
He understood that Zheng Shangming had probably found some clues.
Of course, the Commandant of the Northern Yamen was not something that could be discussed in public. After experiencing the strange behavior of the Blue Medal constable in the morgue, Jiang Wang did not trust the internal security of the Northern Yamen.
He said, "I've already examined the body. There's nothing wrong with it."
He replied telepathically, "I understand."
Zheng Shangming nodded. "Then, Brother Jiang, take care. I'll pick you up at your residence tomorrow."
Jiang Wang refused. "There's no need for that. I'll meet you outside the Longevity Palace tomorrow morning."
At the same time, he sent a telepathic message, "Investigate the constable who accompanied me into the morgue. There's something wrong with him. At the same time, check Feng Gu's body. I suspect that he did something to it. "
Zheng Shangming smiled. "It's not that it's not troublesome. It's the rule. We have to get on the Northern Yamen's carriage when we go out. We can't contact anyone else."
He replied telepathically, "Don't worry. If there's something wrong with this person, he won't be able to hide it. I'll find a new clue tonight, and then I'll examine the body again. I'll let you know if there's any news. "
"Since it's the rule, we'll follow it." Jiang Wang cupped his hands. "I'll take my leave first."
"Take care."
Zheng Shangming watched him leave, then turned and walked back to the iron house.
Everyone in the Northern Yamen knew that the two of them were friends. Their small talk would not arouse any suspicion.
Jiang Wang did not look for Lin Youxie. Instead, he left the Northern Yamen alone.
The Northern Yamen's carriage was still waiting outside, waiting to take him home.
Although Linzi was prosperous, not many people were willing to come to a place like the Northern Yamen.
A candy vendor was pushing a wheelbarrow and hawking his wares. A few pedestrians looked anxious.
Jiang Wang couldn't help thinking …
Where was he supposed to be in Jiang Wuqi's mural of all living beings?
The mortal world was like a net, how many people could break free from it?
Jiang Wang stooped down and sat in the carriage. As the wheels slowly turned, he quietly played with the red makeup mirror in his hand.
Earlier, when he had achieved the Outer Tower in the depths of the universe, it was thanks to the Red Makeup Mirror that he had temporarily frozen the Dragon God and created an opportunity for Master Guan Yan to completely peel off the Dragon God.
He once thought that the Red Makeup Mirror had awakened some kind of power.
However, after careful investigation, he did not discover any new changes to the Red Makeup Mirror.
All functions were the same as before.
His body entered the mirror world and was still in the white space. As for the Divine Soul Tribulation, he did not dare to try it for the time being.
Jiang Wang speculated that perhaps the Red Makeup Mirror only had a special reaction to dragons.
In fact, there were many signs in the morning.
The Red Makeup Mirror came from Hu Shaomeng of the Fishing Sea Tower. From the later situation, the secret of the Red Makeup Mirror should be shared by Hu Shaomeng and his master, Hai Zongming …
The Red Makeup Mirror itself naturally came from overseas.
In the Overturning Seas Tribulation, the name of the female voice that had traversed all the Divine Soul Tribulations was also "Overturning Seas".
At the end of the Overturning Seas Tribulation, a big sun roasted the ocean dry.
So much information was related to the "sea".
And the biggest threat to the human race overseas was the Sea Clan.
In ancient times, the Dragon Clan led nearly half of the Sea Clan to retreat to the sea. After a long time, they evolved into the Sea Clan of today.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but think that the existence called "Overturning Seas" had some kind of relationship with the Dragon Clan.
From the battle in the depths of the universe, it could be seen that the Senhai Dragon God obviously had a certain understanding of the Red Makeup Mirror. However, now was not the time to dig out any information from him …
Given that old dragon's craftiness, the more interested Jiang Wang was in the Red Makeup Mirror's origins, the more he would be manipulated.
The Red Makeup Mirror should have greater potential, but before he had the ability to survive the next Divine Soul Tribulation, he probably wouldn't be able to discover anything.
However, Jiang Wang wasn't thinking about the Red Makeup Mirror itself as he caressed it. Instead, he was thinking about the words that the Dragon God had said in the Alioth Star Tower.
He had said that he had managed the Senhai Origin World for a thousand years, but in the end, he had no one to follow him … He had said that there was no distinction between good and evil, and that he didn't repay good for good.
Of course, this was bullshit.
The Dragon God only knew how to use and plunder. He had done too much evil. After his true colors were exposed, he naturally lost the hearts of the people and had no one to follow him.
Jiang Wang couldn't be bothered to listen to those bewitching words.
However, he suddenly thought of something …
What about Jiang Wuqi?
After Jiang Wuqi's death, the huge Longevity Palace seemed to be completely silent. There was no movement at all.
Given the Senhai Dragon God's perverse behavior, he naturally couldn't avoid being abandoned. However, how could Jiang Wuqi, an extremely charismatic noble, have no one to follow him?
Even a peerless Tianjiao like Jiang Wang, who had only interacted with him a few times, was already full of admiration for him.
What about his confidants?
Where did they go?
Even if the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, it shouldn't be just the old eunuch Feng Gu.
Perhaps before Jiang Wuqi made such a decision, he had already severed ties with his people, allowing Da Qi to belong to Da Qi. He had completely opened up his political resources and allowed his brothers and sisters to divide them …
However, there were still some people who couldn't be severed. No matter how they severed, they couldn't remove the mark of the Longevity Palace.
For example, Feng Gu.
For example … Lei Zhanqian.
The entire Lei Family was Jiang Wuqi's maternal family. How could they sever this kind of blood relationship?
Of course, Feng Gu and the Lei Family didn't remain silent.
Feng Gu cooperated with Wen Yanyu to manage Jiang Wuqi's funeral and died after the funeral.
The Lei Family also mourned for Jiang Wuqi. On the day of Jiang Wuqi's burial, it was Lei Zhanqian who carried the coffin …
However, Jiang Wuqi's confidants who were deeply marked by the Longevity Palace weren't limited to just these few people.
For example … Gongsun Yu, a disciple of a famous family.
Jiang Wang still remembered that when he first met Jiang Wuqi at Mount Yunwu, there were a few important people beside Jiang Wuqi.
One of them was Lei Yikun, from the Lei Family. One of them was Zhang Yong, needless to say. Another one … was Gongsun Yu.
Because he was the descendant of Gongsun Ye who wrote, "Exchanging cups of wine to rest, sleeping with Wen Yu's guest," he had a deep impression of him.
Later, he also heard from Chung Geng Sheng and the others that Gongsun Yu was Jiang Wuqi's most trusted confidant and one of his most trusted people.
Since when did this Gongsun Yu stop appearing?
What happened?
Including Jiang Wuqi's funeral, this person didn't seem to have come …
The carriage stopped while Jiang Wang's thoughts were churning.
"We're here, Lord Jiang," the coachman said.
"Sorry for the trouble." Jiang Wang thanked him, got off the carriage, and walked towards his residence.
"Someone asked me to pass a message to you," the coachman suddenly said behind him.
Jiang Wang stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around.
The coachman continued, "As a rootless Xinqi person, it wasn't easy for you to get to where you are today. It's best if you don't meddle in things that you shouldn't meddle in. "
With that, he shook the reins and was about to drive the carriage away.
Jiang Wang suddenly turned around!
The horse that was driving the carriage was stopped by an invisible force. It raised its hooves and neighed, but its sound couldn't be heard.
Then, it knelt on the ground, motionless.
The coachman tried his best to struggle, but his body couldn't move!
Raging waves seemed to rise in the Sky Reaching Sea. The entire spine of the dragon seemed to be held by an invisible hand. Even its head and limbs were trapped in the wind of various shapes and sizes!
Transcendent-grade Dao technique, Dragon Tiger!
It coiled the dragon, made the tiger crouch, and made the man a prisoner.
It was too despairing. There was no room for resistance!
And that world-famous Tianjiao slowly walked over in such despair.
"Am I too good-tempered?" he asked softly.
"Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pass a message to me, right?"
The coachman's mouth wasn't sealed, but he remained silent.
He gritted his teeth and saw a pair of clear eyes. Then, boiling killing intent engulfed his mind!
Such killing intent, such sharpness!
He felt fear. His body trembled, and sweat poured out. He almost knelt down, but he was fixed in place and couldn't move!
Jiang Wang had reason to be angry.
From the constables at the morgue to the coachman driving the carriage, the patrol office was full of infiltration. This was unavoidable. The Northern Yamen was a yamen that was in charge of law and order in the capital city. Anyone who had some power in the court would have a few connections with it.
Even the Beiya Commandant, Zheng Shi, tacitly approved of this. The yamen was too big and had too many people. It was impossible for it to be too clean. He only completely controlled some key positions to ensure the core strength of the Blue Medal. He could only tolerate the other positions.
However, the person behind the scenes shouldn't have been so careless as to let a coachman pass on a message.
The other party just wanted to prove their infiltration of the Beiya. They just wanted to emphasize their strength in the Qi Department.
Look, our people are everywhere. If you offend us, you have to be careful even when you're in the carriage.
This wasn't a reminder at all. It was a blatant threat.
Along the way, Jiang Wang had experienced countless battles of life and death. He had defeated those who were stronger than him. He had turned the tides of battle countless times.
He killed strong enemies, won big battles, and became a legend.
He walked step by step to the position of Da Qi's third-grade Golden Melon Warrior, fourth-grade Blue Medal Constable, and Noble Qing Yangzi. But there was still someone who didn't know anything and just casually sent a lackey to threaten him!
Looking at the immobile coachman, Jiang Wang said coldly, "If I kill you now, no one will speak up for you. No one will dare to come to me because of you. No one will even admit that they asked you to pass a message. You will die today, nameless and silent. Not even a sound will be heard … So, do you understand what you are and what the people behind you are? "
The coachman was already rolling his eyes.
Jiang Wang untied Longhu.
The horse immediately stood up, and the coachman's entire body almost went limp, but he still managed to hold on.
"You're lucky that you're in front of my house. I don't want to kill anyone." Jiang Wang patted his shoulder and said lightly, "Help me pass a message back — if you want to teach me how to do things, at least stand in front of me. If you don't even have the guts to face me, how can you have the face to give me advice? "
The coachman nodded reluctantly.
Jiang Wang looked into his eyes. After confirming that he understood, he turned and walked into the mansion.
The Jiang mansion wasn't located in a remote area. It was also in the core area of Yaoguang Lane.
There were passers-by on the road who had noticed this scene, but they only saw —
A carriage from Beiya stopped there. The horse pulling the carriage seemed to be tired and knelt on the ground. The coachman helplessly pulled the reins … Lord Jiang stood in front of the carriage, as if he was saying something.
Although no sound could be heard, he looked very cordial.
After saying a few words, Lord Jiang turned and returned to the mansion. The coachman drove the carriage away.
It was a very harmonious scene.
This was an ordinary day in Yaoguang Lane, no different from the past.
Other than the servants of the Jiang mansion looking at their master with more reverence, everything was normal.
After entering the house, Jiang Wang first went to the courtyard where Chung Geng Sheng lived.
Because he had increased the sound of his footsteps in advance, the courtyard door was already pulled open when he reached the door.
At this time, Chung Geng Sheng was half lying on an exceptionally wide recliner. His eyes were half closed, and he seemed to be enjoying himself.
The recliner was standing beside a small pond.
This small pond was dug out by Chung Geng Sheng after he moved in. Some water plants were planted in it, and a few small turtles were raised there.
On his left, there was a bamboo rack. On the rack, there were a few pots of exceptionally beautiful fruits. Fourteen removed his armor and was slowly peeling the fruits for him.
This fatty's recent life seemed to be similar to Jiang Wuxie's. He was really carefree.
When Jiang Wang walked in, the fatty on the recliner moved and lazily glanced over.
"You seem to have gained something?" He asked with a slightly amused tone.
Who was a mere cultivator with two mansions and one supernatural power looking down on?
Jiang Wang was not in the mood to argue. He only said, "Help me investigate Gongsun Yu. See what he is doing now. Make sure to be discreet. Don't let anyone find out."
Chung Geng Sheng did not ask for the reason. Seeing Jiang Wang so serious, he also said seriously, "I'll get the Shadow Guards to do it right away."
Fourteen's knife spun and finished peeling the fruit in his hand. The black fruit skin formed a strip and was placed on the plate. The white and tender fruit flesh was placed in Chung Geng Sheng's mouth.
Then, she put on her armor and walked out without a word. To the Shadow Guards, her orders were no different from Chung Geng Sheng's.
Jiang Wang could not help but ask, "When you left, you were eating porridge. When you came back, you were eating fruits. Haven't you been cultivating these few days?"
"Aren't I waiting for you?" Chung Geng Sheng chewed on the fruit flesh in his mouth and muttered, "If I don't keep an eye on you, what will I do if you leave the country without a word?"
He deserved a beating for bringing up his sore spot!
Jiang Wang waved his hand and closed the door after Fourteen left.
"Cough," Chung Geng Sheng's expression turned serious, "Tell me, what's troubling you?"
Jiang Wang walked to the small pond and looked at the patterns on the shell of a small turtle. He said, "Zheng Shangming told me about the Northern Yamen Commandant."
"Oh …" Chung Geng Sheng's chubby hand grabbed a green fruit and took a bite. He said as he ate, "It seems that Feng Gu's death is not simple. It will involve a lot of people …"
He glanced at Jiang Wang and asked, "Does Zheng Shangming want you to lead this case, and then his father will be promoted and leave a position for you?"
Jiang Wang was already used to this fatty's wisdom. He could only nod, "That's true."
Chung Geng Sheng took another bite of the fruit, and the juice splashed everywhere, "Lin Youxie should have some demands, and he has a conflict with Zheng Shangming. Otherwise, you don't have to be so troubled by such a good thing … "
"Why are you troubled by Lin Youxie …" He ate the fruit and said vaguely, "Oh … Lin Kuang?"
He swallowed the fruit flesh in shock and sat up, "The case of Imperial Concubine Lei?!"
