"Didn't Feng Gu leave anything else?" Jiang Wang asked Lin Youxie.
"Of course there are some other clues, but they are all deliberately set up. In order to confuse the person handling the case and the person behind the scenes. His clues are for me to see. He knows that I can 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 solid 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 the murderer of Imperial Concubine Lei is, but I only need to prove that my father's death is related to the current Empress. This is the reason why Feng Gu wanted me to participate in this case. "
Lin Kuang died because of the investigation of Imperial Concubine Lei's assassination. If it could be proved that his death was not a suicide and was related to the Empress. It could indeed be regarded as an important piece of evidence that could link the current Empress and Imperial Concubine Lei's death together.
"How are you going to prove it?" Jiang Wang asked.
"This is my business." Lin Youxie said.
Jiang Wang thought that Lin Youxie had come to ask for help today and was even prepared to help. He didn't expect that she was not. It was as if she jumped into the carriage halfway just to tell Jiang Wang the truth she believed.
"Why are you telling me this?" Jiang Wang asked.
Lin Youxie paused and said, "My father is the most outstanding person since the establishment of the Blue Medal. He solved countless cases in his life and was loyal to his duty. He would not commit suicide, nor should he commit suicide … I hope that if something happens to me, there will still be people who remember these things. "
"I hope nothing happens to you." Jiang Wang said slowly, "Because other than you, no one will remember him for so long."
Lin Youxie's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, lowered slightly and her gaze fell on the corner of her clothes. "When we were in the offshore islands, you told me that you were going to save someone at the sea ceremony.
I thought you must be lying to me, and you used such a ridiculous and unrealistic reason to lie to me.
But the strange thing was … I still believed you.
Later I thought, how did you do it?
I couldn't think of it.
But I saw it.
I saw you go to the Tianya Stage and stop the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony. I heard that you went to the Bewildering World and completed an almost impossible mission to cleanse your sins.
The second time you went to the Tianya Stage, you killed Ji Shaoqing and suppressed the Fishing Ocean Tower with your sword. No one in the same realm dared to challenge you.
At that time, your name was spread throughout the entire offshore archipelago.
You return as a hero …
Maybe you don't believe me, but you inspire me.
I am not as strong as you, but my heart is as determined as yours. "
Jiang Wang said, "The reason why you believed me at that time was because you were also chasing the impossible. You're also such a determined person. I've only been involved in this case for a few days, but I'm already feeling suffocating pressure. But you've been working hard for so many years under such pressure … Do you have any impulsive plans now? "
"You think too much." Lin Youxie said, "It's just that you are the most talented person I know. I believe that one day, you will be able to stand at the peak. I mean, if … if something happens to me. I want to solemnly ask you to reopen my father's case when you have the strength to do so. "
Then, 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. "Constable Lin, how can the peak position be so easy? It's better to rely on yourself than on others. "
He thought for a while and finally asked, "There's a person called Du Fang who came from a Blue Medal family. Do you know him?"
Lin Youxie was startled at first. After a moment of silence, she said, "The person who threw my father's body in front of me … was called Du Fang. He was my father's subordinate and could be considered half of my father's disciple. His explanation at that time was that 'he was too emotional to accept it at the moment'. "
She said in a flat voice, "Li Yougui investigated Du Fang. Later, the conclusion of the investigation was that because of the rules of a Blue Medal family, my father refused to teach Du Fang many secret techniques. So Du Fang gradually developed hatred. After my father died, he wanted to destroy me. Not long after, Du Fang died in the process of investigating the case. The case was left unsettled. "
Li Yougui …
"Du Fang's death, who did it?" Jiang Wang asked.
"In the past, I would tell you very firmly that it was either an accident or he was killed. It definitely had nothing to do with the four Blue Medal families. Because we have been taught since we were young to act within the rules and follow the law. Du Fang's death sounded strange, but the actual case was very normal. The suspect he was chasing was indeed only in the Soaring Dragon Realm, but the one who really killed him was the suspect's father … "
Lin Youxie said, "But now I can't be sure."
Since Li Yougui secretly joined the Pingdeng State, the ancestral teachings of the four Blue Medal families naturally couldn't interfere with him. Even Lin Youxie herself couldn't rule out the possibility that the four Blue Medal families killed him for revenge …
So Lin Youxie said that she couldn't be sure of the cause of Du Fang's death.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything for a while.
Lin Youxie continued, "When Li Yougui was tortured, I was at the execution ground. I shouldn't have gone, but I couldn't not go. "
"Li Yougui's relationship with my father was actually very bad. Grandpa Wu said that he wanted to fight with my father for everything, but he couldn't win anything … But after my father died, Grandpa Wu resigned and disappeared for a long time. It was Li Yougui who had been taking care of me."
"I saw him on the execution ground. Someone cut off his flesh, and it fell piece by piece. I saw his expression. I knew that he wanted to curse, curse something like the imperial court being unfair to the four Blue Medal families … "
"He wanted to curse, but he didn't."
"Because there were still people alive in the four Blue Medal families, and because I was still alive, he didn't want to find trouble for me."
"Grandpa Wu didn't plan to take in any more disciples. I'm the only descendant left in the four Blue Medal families. "
Speaking of this, Lin Youxie seemed to have finally calmed down. She looked at Jiang Wang with a penetrating gaze again. "Why did you suddenly mention this person?"
The State of Qi had developed too quickly, and it had grown too strong too quickly. In the process, too many people had been neglected …
Li Yougui didn't belong to the Pingdeng Country from the beginning. His situation was completely different from Yan Tu's.
He couldn't find an exit in the glorious history and declining current situation of the Blue Medal families. As a Blue Medal family member, he couldn't do anything about Lin Kuang's death. Lin Kuang, who was much more outstanding than him, died without any weight. What could he do?
What was the future of the four Blue Medal families? Obviously, he was confused and lost.
He made a different choice from Urie and Lin Youxie, but his concern for Lin Youxie wasn't fake.
People were so complicated.
The more Jiang Wang saw, the more he didn't dare to judge a person lightly.
He just said, "Du Fang has a close friend from the same hometown called Gu Xing. He used to be the general of the Chasing Wind Army. In the 38th year of the Yuanfeng Era, he was dismissed from his military post and went to sea. Now, he is the island master of Tyrannical Horn Island.
Lin Youxie's eyelids twitched.
Tyrannical Horn Island belonged to the Tian Clan of Daze!
And she suspected the Tian family from the beginning!
Urie had been investigating the Tian family in secret for so many years after he resigned. He already had a lot of clues, but he still couldn't get the core evidence.
If Gu Xing, the owner of Tyrannical Horn Island, was related to Du Fang's actions back then, it was undoubtedly an important piece of evidence that tied the Tian family of Daze and the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei together!
"I know." She looked at Jiang Wang deeply. "Thank you."
After that, she got up directly.
Looking at her swift and decisive manner, Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "Actually, life is very long. You've waited for so many years. There's no need to rush."
Lin Youxie reached out to hold the door and said lightly, "But the Eleventh Prince can only die this time."
Jiang Wuqi would only die this time, and Emperor Qi would only be sad this time.
The time to thoroughly investigate the old case might not come again.
Because the child that was cut out from Imperial Concubine Lei's belly back then was no longer there …
The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the person was gone.
Only the faint smell of herbs was still describing her.
Jiang Wang was speechless for a long time.
If …
If the current Empress was indeed the mastermind behind the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei, the Tian family was the knife she used back then.
If Du Fang's actions were really related to Gu Xing, it was under the control of the Tian family and carried out the will of the current Empress.
Then, throwing Lin Kuang's body in front of Lin Youxie was not only a deterrent, but also a strong sense of venting anger.
No matter what Lin Kuang did, no matter how "unappreciative" he was, he was already dead. It was really narrow-minded of him to vent his anger on a three-year-old girl.
If the Empress of a country was so narrow-minded … would it be a blessing for the world?
If the mastermind was the Empress, it could indeed explain a lot of things and connect all the existing clues.
But why did the Empress want to harm Imperial Concubine Lei?
Seventeen years ago, Jiang Wuqi was not even born yet, and the power of the Lei family was also mediocre. What threat could Imperial Concubine Lei pose?
Jiang Wang couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, he already understood the choice in his heart —
He was also looking for the answer.
…
…
Time moved forward with difficulty. Jiang Wang cultivated hard while waiting for the news.
The Shadow Guards' investigation of Gongsun Yu's broken tongue, Lin Youxie's investigation of the Island Master of Tyrannical Horn Island, Gu Xing …
Jiang Wang wouldn't insist on doing everything himself. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Transcendent power was his foundation.
So he waited, so he cultivated.
However, the first one to come to the door was Zheng Shangming.
It was the winter moon, and the wind was cold.
Everyone in the Jiang Mansion, from the butler to the door guards, had changed into new cotton-padded clothes.
Their spirit and appearance were refreshed.
In any case, they had some semblance of a noble family.
Zheng Shangming came riding on the north wind. He was dressed in martial attire and looked very neat. The majesty in his temperament was also more obvious. After operating in the Northern Government for so long, he was gradually taking over the authority of the Zheng family.
Any new Commandant of the Northern Government who was not recognized by the father and son would find it difficult to get rid of their influence in the Northern Government.
However, at the same time, Jiang Wang had no doubt that if he took over the Commandant of the Northern Government, he would work very happily with him.
Because the current Zheng Shangming was already a qualified successor, a sufficiently clear-headed person.
He understood what should be done and what should not be done.
The Zheng family was also a person who knew when to stop and when to stop. He would definitely be able to make things more comfortable for all parties.
However, sometimes he would inexplicably feel that it was a pity that the original Zheng Shangming would never be able to see him again.
The memories of the past were like the north wind blowing in the Southern Tower.
Jiang Wang stood alone in the courtyard in a green robe. A flame flower was born and extinguished at the tip of his finger.
The detailed text of the Flame Flower Incineration flowed slowly in his heart.
In terms of the "Flame Flower" alone, Jiang Wang had not seen many fire-element Dao techniques that were on par with Zuo Guanglie's original creation.
As the foundation of the Flame Flower Incineration, it could also be said to have constructed the system of Zuo Guanglie's fire-element Dao techniques.
In terms of this technique, Jiang Wang had already bloomed his own flower and infused it with a unique vitality. Therefore, his Flame Flower Incineration would definitely be different from Zuo Guanglie's.
Zheng Shangming stepped into the courtyard and saw the endless flame flower. The most intuitive feeling was "beauty", and then he sighed in admiration of its vitality.
"Your Flame Flower should have surpassed Zuo Guanglie's, right?" He could not help but ask.
The flame flower at the tip of his finger returned to a spark and returned to the tip of his finger. It did not waste any Dao Energy.
"Just at this level, there is a limit. We are all at that position, so there is no need to talk about surpassing. If we talk about more advanced applications, we are still far from it. "Jiang Wang looked at Zheng Shangming." It seems that regarding this case, you are a hundred percent confident. "
"Only eighty percent." Zheng Shangming said, "There is still a key piece of evidence missing."
"Then I have to congratulate you." Jiang Wang said.
Zheng Shangming asked, "Shouldn't I be the one congratulating you?"
Jiang Wang was in the courtyard. He extended his hand and invited him to sit. "I have always felt that perhaps Lin Youxie found out the truth first."
"We could have kept Lin Youxie out of the case. It's just that … "Zheng Shangming sat down and said in an indifferent voice," Although the four great blue tile clans have vanished, they were still the cornerstones of the earliest establishment of the blue tile system. Their remaining influence cannot be underestimated. Even the Emperor feels that he should give them an explanation. Beiya is even more so. "
"Your so-called explanation is to let her participate in the case that she should have participated in?" Jiang Wang sat opposite him and asked softly.
There was a small stove on the stone table. A pot of tea was boiling on the stove. At this time, steam was rising in spirals.
"It is hard for you not to admit it. If Beiya does not agree, she will not even have the chance to find out the truth." Zheng Shangming's words were cold, but they were indeed heavy facts.
"Are you so sure that you will find out the truth before she does?" Jiang Wang said, "Lin Youxie is already prepared to die. How dare you look down on someone who is prepared to die? "
"That is her choice." Zheng Shangming said calmly and looked at Jiang Wang. "Brother Jiang, I just want to know your choice."
It should be said that since Zheng Shangming took the initiative to show his goodwill in the capital, he and Jiang Wang had been getting along well. They could even be called "friends."
On the contrary, Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie had many disagreements before.
Lin Youxie had been holding on to Jiang Wang from the beginning. Because of the suspicions of the "No Door to Hell", he could not wait to find evidence to nail Jiang Wang in the Heavenly Prison.
For a long time, Jiang Wang kept a respectful distance from Lin Youxie.
But at this moment.
Jiang Wang could only say, "Brother Zheng, I can't take the position of Beiya Commandant."
Zheng Shangming did not seem to be very surprised. After all, Jiang Wang had been hesitating on this issue for too long.
But he still asked, "Why?"
Jiang Wang looked up at the clouds in the sky and asked with some emotion, "Brother Shang Ming, what do you think the position of Beiya Commandant and Chief Inspector of the Capital Inspection Office represents? Is it power or responsibility? "
Zheng Shangming did not think much and answered directly, "It represents the great power to control the Blue Medal system. As for power and responsibility … power and responsibility are one. Once you control the Blue Medal, you have to bear the responsibility of the Blue Medal. "
Jiang Wang asked again, "Then what is the responsibility of the Blue Medal? The words' Beiya Commandant ', is the important thing' Beiya Commandant 'or' Commandant '? "
"I think I understand what you mean." Zheng Shangming said slowly, "You have to choose the so-called truth. But Brother Jiang, have you ever thought, 'Eat the Emperor's salary, and be loyal to the Emperor'? The Capital Inspection Office is directly under the Emperor, not your Qingyang Town's fief. The position of Beiya Commandant … The important thing is not the 'Beiya Commandant', nor is it the 'Commandant', but the words that are not written. "
Jiang Wang let out a long breath and said calmly, "So I can't sit in this position."
Zheng Shangming looked at him, "Brother Jiang, I have always admired you, and I know that you are a strong-willed person. But today I want to sincerely advise you – the Emperor's trust in you is known by the whole world. Have you ever thought that if you refuse this position, you will disappoint the Emperor? You refuse not only the position of Beiya Commandant, but also the opportunity to express your loyalty to the Emperor. Do you know that your future career may very well be difficult because of the choice you made today? "
Of course Jiang Wang knew.
Even if he did not know, Chung Geng Sheng had already told him.
But he just said calmly, "Qi is very big, and it should be able to accommodate all kinds of people. If not, I don't think it will be my loss. "
Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment and said, "Although I don't agree with it, I respect your choice."
He heaved a long sigh. "Brother Jiang, sometimes I feel that you're really a very enviable person."
"What do I have to be envious of?" Jiang Wang chuckled, "I am alone in the world, and I only have pride. Speaking of which, I am a third-rank official, how many people will listen to me? "
"People will always envy those who can't be like them." Zheng Shangming pursed his lips, "Then Brother Jiang, I will leave first."
He got up and walked out.
When he was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Jiang Wang's voice behind him.
"Brother Zheng. Speaking of which, when you were being manipulated by Wen Lianmu … if I accidentally killed you in the Horse Rushing Mountain, it would arouse the anger of your father, the Beiya Commandant. Have you ever thought that you need the truth? "
Zheng Shangming stopped.
"I have thought about it, and I have thought about it very seriously."
He said, "What I think is that I need power."
He just stood at the gate of the courtyard, with his back facing Jiang Wang.
He said calmly, "Brother Jiang, not everyone can be like you, a genius who can break the legend, and the courage to break the rules. I am just … a mediocre person working hard. "
