"Old people are often like this. They've experienced too much and spent most of their lives like this, so they're actually even more stubborn."
The tall and slender Li Fengyao walked in the marquis's estate's garden, causing the flowers to pale in comparison. Her voice, which had always been cold and distant, was somewhat gentle towards Jiang Wang. "I don't want you to step into the pits they've stepped into, and I don't want you to make the same mistakes they've made. They want you to have the beauty they see. They stubbornly believe that with their life experiences, they can build everything for you. But the world is changing, and everyone's life is different … You don't have to care too much. "
"Ah, I don't."
In front of Li Fengyao, Jiang Wang was somewhat unsure of what to say.
To him, Li Fengyao's image was first established from Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian's descriptions. These two had been subdued by Li Fengyao, and when they saw Li Fengyao, they were like mice seeing a cat. As their scoundrel friend, Jiang Wang was innately inferior to Li Fengyao.
Every time they met, they would be respectful and cautious.
Although Li Fengyao didn't treat him as cruelly as the rumors said, and didn't even give him a hard time …
Compared to Lord Jiang, Li Fengyao herself was natural and unrestrained. As she walked, she said, "Which star region is your outer tower located in?"
The change in topic was too sudden, and Jiang Wang was stunned.
"What?" Li Fengyao stopped and looked at him with her frosty, beautiful eyes. "Am I not worthy to discuss cultivation with you, the number one Tianjiao of Da Qi?"
"I absolutely didn't mean that!" Jiang Wang hurriedly explained, "I was just thinking about the case … Yuheng, it's Yuheng."
A trace of a smile flashed through Li Fengyao's eyes. She turned her head and continued to walk forward. "The Blue Medal has its own position. You shouldn't talk to me about the case. "
"Yes, I'm just thinking about it in my heart. I won't say it out loud." At this moment, Jiang Wang was so reserved that he was practically like a child who had just entered school. He could completely understand Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian's feelings.
This older sister … had a strong aura.
"But we can talk about cultivation. After all, the path to the Great Dao is long, and we can verify each other. "Li Fengyao looked up at the sky and saw two resplendent stars resonating with each other.
Ever since the trip to the Seven Stars Valley, he had never seen Li Fengyao display his strength.
It was only today that Jiang Wang discovered that Li Fengyao had already erected two Star Towers without a sound!
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't too surprising.
Back in the Seven Stars Valley, when he was still in the Soaring Dragon Realm, Li Fengyao was already in the Divine Power Inner Mansion Realm. At that time, he heard that the divine power she had removed was not suitable for battle, but it was beneficial for cultivation.
After the Seven Star Valley Secret Realm ended, she had been cultivating on Ice Phoenix Island and had not returned to Linzi for long.
And this Big Sister Feng Yao was a ruthless character who had changed her name on the Li Clan's genealogy!
Even if she was doted on by the elders, how could she change the rules of the Li family at her age if she did not have extraordinary talent?
"The Star Tower is the foundation of Dao Narration, and the Outer Building Realm is the realm of Dao Narration." But regardless of Li Fengyao's realm, Jiang Wang was instantly much more relaxed when talking about cultivation.
He was uneasy with his' sister ', but spoke frankly with assurance with his' fellow Daoist '. "It's nothing more than summarizing the knowledge of the past. Even if it's a bit shallow, it has to be close to the truth. The truth is the foundation of Dao Querying. With Yuheng as an example, I've always been thinking about what kind of 'Dao' can stand proudly in the universe and shine in all directions. Where do I want to go, what do I want to ask for … "
Li Fengyao clearly did not expect him to really talk about cultivation, but he still listened attentively. Then he said, "Speaking of the Outer Building Realm, my father is in charge of the Chasing Wind Army of the Nine Soldiers. There's an Outer Building Realm general in the army called Gu Xing who left a deep impression on him."
Jiang Wang also did not understand why Li Fengyao suddenly talked about the general in the Chasing Wind Army, but he still listened attentively. "Is this person very strong?"
Li Fengyao glanced at him. "He's probably not as strong as you are now. But this person, a long time ago … Probably in the year 3920 of the Dao calendar, he was dismissed from the army and went out to sea for many years. He's now the Island Master of Tyrannical Horn Island. "
"Is this person very important in the Chasing Wind Army?" Jiang Wang asked.
"If he's important, why would he leave? Why would Chasing Wind let him go? "Li Fengyao said faintly." It's just that I thought of him today … Don't you think it's strange? He had a fellow villager. I don't know if they were good friends, but they knew each other. His surname was Du and his name was Fang. He was a constable in the Northern Yamen and also an Outer Building Realm cultivator. This constable, in the process of capturing a Soaring Dragon Realm suspect, actually died together with the suspect. "
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment before he said, "It's very strange."
Only then did he realize.
The year 3920 of the Dao calendar was the thirty-eighth year of the Yuanfeng Era!
Li Fengyao was not discussing the cultivation of the Outer Building Realm. He was providing him with clues about the case from back then!
"Alright. After strolling around for so long, we can report back to our superiors. "Li Fengyao gave a rare smile.
Such a peerless icy beauty, with just a gentle smile, seemed to melt the winter cold. Even the winter moon was bright because of it.
Even though Jiang Wang's mind had been swept up in the raging fury of the case, he was still dazed by this gentle smile.
"Let's go back," she said.
"Oh, okay," Jiang Wang replied obediently.
"Then I won't send you off." Li Fengyao stopped in his tracks. "Grandmother likes you very much. Come visit her more often."
"Okay." Jiang Wang said softly, "Sister Fengyao."
Then he turned around and walked away on the flower path, leaving the deep courtyard of the City Destroyer Manor.
…
…
Speaking of which, his relationship with the Li Family of Shimen started with Li Longchuan.
When they first met in the Heaven's Secret Territory, Jiang Wang's attitude toward the Li Family of Shimen was actually very cautious.
It was mainly because of that line in the poem, "The whole world praises Shimen Li, but who knows Fengxian Zhang?"
They were both top-notch noble families, descendants of heroes who helped restore the country. Why was the Li Family of Shimen able to stand tall, but the Zhang Family of Fengxian had fallen to such a state?
While he felt sorry for the Zhang Family of Fengxian, he couldn't help but examine the Li Family of Shimen more.
Later, he represented Chung Geng Sheng to send the Qiushan Bow to Li Longchuan, and with Xu Xiangqian's help, the two sides were officially connected.
What kind of noble family was the Li Family of Shimen?
Their ancestors enjoyed the glory of restoring the country, and their ancestral shrine was set up in the National Guardian Hall, at the forefront!
For so many years, they had produced many famous generals, and their talents had never died out. They had always stood among the top noble families of Da Qi.
Jiang Wang was a country bumpkin from a remote small country, but he had never felt arrogance in his interactions with such a noble family. Whether it was Li Longchuan, Old Madam Li, Li Fengyao …
From the beginning until now, he had only felt respect.
It was like this now, and it was like this when he was far from being famous.
So why was the Li Family of Shimen able to enjoy glory for so long?
Perhaps this was the reason.
Sitting in the carriage returning home, Jiang Wang silently pondered.
A noble family at the level of the Li Family of Shimen could naturally ignore many rules.
However, as a member of the Blue Medal System, Jiang Wang had to be careful when he participated in the important cases investigated by the Blue Medal System.
Li Fengyao wouldn't mention the year 3920 of the Taoist calendar for no reason, and he wouldn't mention Gu Xing for no reason.
To put it bluntly, how could a mere Outer Building figure be worth the Li Family of Shimen's attention?
Only Gu Xing's whereabouts were worth pondering.
Tyrannical Horn Island was an island controlled by the Tian Family overseas.
Gu Xing was fired from Zhufeng and chose to go out to sea. Was it related to the Tian Family?
And what role did the green-badge arrester named Du Fang, whom Li Fengyao had specially mentioned, play in the big case that year? He was at the Outer Tower and had died together with the suspect of the Soaring Dragon Realm.
Li Fengyao wouldn't mention this person for no reason.
Every additional clue brought him closer to the truth.
Jiang Wang had a premonition that he was close to the truth.
While he was thinking, the curtain suddenly moved, and a figure flashed in.
Although Jiang Wang was shocked, he didn't panic. He opened his hand, and his Dao Energy surged. His left eye had already turned crimson red …
All of this happened in an instant and disappeared in an instant.
His five outstretched fingers had already pressed against the door. They hovered for a moment and then retracted.
"I almost killed you!" he said with a frown.
Lin Youxie sat down in the carriage. Her hair was still tied up with a green scarf, and she was dressed in men's clothing. Her expression didn't change as she said, "If you can't even control this, then you don't deserve the title of the number one Tianjiao in Qi. Unless you really want to kill me. "
To be able to get close to him with a cultivation far lower than his … She was indeed Lin Kuang's daughter.
She must have a lot of secret techniques like "Nianchen" …
"Master?" the coachman said from outside the curtain.
"I'm fine," Jiang Wang replied.
Jiang Wang casually stopped the sound in the carriage. He said with a headache, "If you want to visit me openly, you can come with a name card. If you want to visit me secretly, why did you get into my carriage on the street? "
"Because if I come with a name card, I have to ask your butler to ask about your background. I also have to consider your mood and whether you are willing to meet guests," Lin Youxie said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Wang was speechless.
"Moreover," Lin Youxie said, "as long as you are calm enough, it is actually more covert during the day than at night. Suddenly getting into your carriage on the street is much more covert than knocking on your back door in the middle of the night … "
Looking at Jiang Wang's complicated eyes, she concluded, "It's just a little knowledge of handling cases. I hope it can help you."
"You came here today to teach me?" Jiang Wang asked faintly.
Lin Youxie was silent for a while and said, "I already know who the murderer is."
Jiang Wang's expression became serious, "The murderer of Imperial Concubine Lei's case?"
"In fact, Feng Gu has left a lot of clues," Lin Youxie said, "right in front of us."
"For example?"
"Feng Gu was hanged in the mourning hall, facing the northeast corner when he died. On the first day of the Eleventh Prince's funeral, who stood in the mourning hall … Do you still remember? "
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said seriously, "At first, it was Palace Master Huaying, then it was … Her Highness the Empress."
"This is the first clue Feng Gu gave, facing the Empress!" Lin Youxie said, "This is a clue for those who were also present at that time, of course, including you, Lord Jiang."
"This is too far-fetched," Jiang Wang shook his head and said, "the funeral lasted for three days. I don't know how many people entered the mourning hall to pay their respects."
"But there are not many people who can stand in that direction, almost no one else."
"How can the direction of the deceased be used as a clue?"
"Feng Gu committed suicide. This was a carefully planned suicide. Every detail was the result of his careful consideration. Generally, when someone hangs himself, he will either face the door or the direction he wants to see. Feng Gu is obviously the latter. "
As a person who also appeared on the first day of the funeral, Jiang Wang had already faintly believed it in his heart.
Because he had also been thinking about what clues Feng Gu had left for him!
But he still said, "This is not convincing."
"So there is a second clue," Lin Youxie asked, "Do you still remember the bowl of medicinal soup of the Eleventh Prince?"
Jiang Wang looked at her.
Lin Youxie said, "I have already told you the ingredients in that bowl of medicinal soup. In addition to me, there were other pharmacists in Beiya who had examined it, and the ingredients were exactly the same. But I didn't say the time. "
"Time?"
"There is a new medicine. It was added after the bowl of medicinal soup had cooled for at least one to two days. I can't think of anyone else who would do this except Feng Gu. This medicine is the red-bellied spider's foot. "
Jiang Wang was silent.
Usually, he would only pretend to know in front of Chongxuan Fat, but he really didn't know much about the red-bellied spider's foot.
If there was something wrong with this medicine, why didn't Zheng Shi have any reaction when he heard the ingredients of the medicinal soup that day?
"It is also a medicine to resist cold poison. It is not special to put it in this bowl of medicinal soup. But the red-bellied spider itself is very special, "Lin Youxie continued," It has another name, 'child-eating spider'. This spider produces children and eats them. It hatches ten spiders at a time, eating nine and leaving one. "
"Why did Feng Gu deliberately add this medicine? The Eleventh Prince is no longer here. This bowl of medicine is not for people to drink, but for people to see. For who to see? Maybe me, maybe you. The Eleventh Prince's birth mother is already dead. Who this child-eating spider refers to … I think, it is already self-evident. "
Jiang Wang was shocked!
If Feng Gu really wanted to hint at something, then these hints added together were indeed enough …
Then, the murderer of Imperial Concubine Lei's assassination in the 38th year of the Yuanfeng era was actually the current Empress?
If the person behind the scenes was really the Empress, then it was completely understandable that this case was so tightly suppressed.
If it was the shadow cast by the current Empress, as the chief eunuch of the Longevity Palace, Feng Gu could only use his death to influence the case!
But …
Jiang Wang quickly recovered from his shock and said calmly, "But these can only show Feng Gu's hatred at most. He can think that the current Empress is the murderer of Imperial Concubine Lei, but his suspicion is not evidence."
Jiang Wang's meaning was very simple —
These were far from enough to open the case of Imperial Concubine Lei's assassination.
To put it bluntly, Feng Gu was just a dog of the Longevity Palace. Compared to the Empress, what was he?
His bite was neither painful nor itchy.
His suspicion was insignificant.
Not only Feng Gu?
What was the difference between his suspicion of Jiang Qingyang and Lin Youxie and Feng Gu?
Only solid evidence could shake the Empress's authority.
Or else …
If they rashly opened their mouths to doubt, they would only die!
He hoped that Lin Youxie bumped into the carriage today and talked about this matter with evidence.
But Lin Youxie shook her head, "How can there be evidence?"
Her voice was extremely bitter, "So many years have passed. How can the person who did such a big case keep the evidence until now? "
Time never kept anything for anyone.
Therefore, in the past seventeen years, there was a heavy sense of despair.
