Heavenly Palace, Starry Hall.
Gao Guan, who came with Sima Wentian, opened his mouth. Qing Zhu, who was sitting behind the long table, stood up and glared at him. "Dead? How could he commit suicide? What is wrong with the Right Supervisory Department? You can't even handle such a small matter. What else can you do? "
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that we didn't do a good job. It's just that it happened too suddenly …" Gao Guan reported the details.
"Sister? What kind of nonsense is this? What does Jiang Yiyi mean by killing himself without rhyme or reason? " Qing Zhu put his hands on the table and said angrily, "Didn't you hear anything suspicious? There must be something hidden behind this. Why didn't you dig deeper and just let it go?"
Gao Guan immediately replied, "I also think there's something hidden. Jiang Yiyi seemed to be passing a message to someone before he died. If I'm not wrong, Chief Shangguan, you should know it."
They all looked at Shang Guanqing. Shang Guanqing was a little embarrassed and hesitant.
Qing Zhu glared at him. "What do you know? Tell me now!"
Shang Guanqing said awkwardly, "It seems that the Great Ensemble took his sister as a hostage in order to control Jiang Yiyi. It seems that Jiang Yiyi used his death to prove that he didn't confess anything even though he was tortured."
It seems? Sima Wentian's lips curled up.
Qing Zhu was stunned. He looked at Shang Guanqing up and down and understood a little. What did it mean by "seems"? This old guy must know very well that there must be such a thing. It's just that it was too despicable to say such a thing.
Therefore, he didn't delve into it. He understood that there were some things that could not be helped. If they wanted to do it well, they would inevitably use some dishonorable means. Qing Zhu's anger subsided and he slowly sat down. "He didn't hesitate to die! In other words, it's very likely that he didn't confess anything. "
Shang Guanqing didn't dare to make such a guarantee. "We still need to see the reaction of the Pavilion of Loyalty."
"What about Niu Youde?" Qing Zhu squinted and said, "He is in cahoots with Kou Lingxu now. Jiang Yiyi is ambushing outside the Governor's Office. Can you guarantee that Niu Youde didn't try to pry open Jiang Yiyi's mouth?"
"This …" Shang Guanqing hesitated. He couldn't guarantee it.
Gao Guan said, "According to Jiang Yi's confession before he died, Niu Youde did not interrogate him."
Qing Zhu's eyes shifted. "If Jiang Yiyi hid his confession to the Pavilion of Faith and Justice, why can't he hide his confession to the Governor's Office? No matter how I look at it, this matter feels strange. If he wanted to commit suicide, why did he have to commit suicide at the moment of handover? Why can't you come back and make things clear? Wouldn't it be better to come back with your death? "
Gao Guan said, "Perhaps he was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance to commit suicide when he came back. If he didn't take advantage of the moment when the seal on his mana was undone, he wouldn't have had the chance to commit suicide."
"Is that so?" Qing Zhu sneered and declined to comment.
On the other hand, Sima Wentian, who had been standing silently by the side, sent a voice transmission, "Your Majesty. According to the report of the spy planted around Niu Youde, Niu Youde indeed did not interrogate Jiang Yiyi. He had been wondering if the Pavilion of Faith and Justice had any other intentions by sending Jiang Yiyi to him. He did not dare to act rashly against Jiang Yiyi. Niu Youde also did not expect that Jiang Yiyi would commit suicide. "
Qing Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly. After hearing this, the doubt on his face gradually disappeared.
Gao Guan and Shangguan Qing looked at each other. They both noticed that Sima Wentian was secretly sending a voice transmission to Qing Zhu. They did not know what they were communicating secretly, but Qing Zhu snorted coldly. "Let's wait and see if Old Man Xiahou will make things difficult for us. If he really does, you old killer will have your head cut off as an apology to the world!" He pointed at Shangguan Qing's nose and scolded loudly. Then, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Shangguan Qing lowered his head with a sullen face. He understood that if this matter was really exposed, everyone would know that he was in charge of the Great Ensemble. It was possible that he would have to take the blame. If he didn't take the blame, was he going to let Qing Zhu take the blame? Qing Zhu was a person who cared about his reputation. He was used to being high and mighty, sacred and inviolable. How could he stand this?
After Qing Zhu left, Sima Wentian walked to Shangguan Qing's side. He seemed to have guessed what Shangguan Qing was thinking and patted his back. "Don't worry. His Majesty said those words in anger. Everyone knows that if this matter is exposed, it will not do the Xiahou Clan any good. The Xiahou Clan will at most use this matter as a threat. If the Xiahou Clan really knows about it, they will use it as an exchange of benefits. His Majesty will also give in. He will not take your head as an apology to the world! "
"Sigh! Why did he fail? Jiang Yiyi has never failed before! "Shangguan Qing shook his head and sighed.
Sima Wentian put his hands in his sleeves. "Even if he failed, it depends on who he was dealing with. He went to the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness and even sent Jiang Yiyi, who is of great importance. I don't even know what you were thinking. How could you do this?"
Shangguan Qing looked around and said in a low voice, "At that time, His Majesty couldn't swallow Old Kou's arrogance and insisted on messing with Niu Youde and Yun Zhiqiu. It just so happened that Niu Youde involved Jiang Yiyi in the matter of the Youding Region. This is also Jiang Yiyi's expertise, and His Majesty doesn't want to bear any suspicion or infamy. If I didn't send Jiang Yiyi, who else would I send? I couldn't possibly tell His Majesty that this matter was difficult and that I had to wait until I had a more reliable method. If I really said that, do you believe that His Majesty would think that I was useless on the spot and would definitely scold me? You can't really think that His Majesty really doesn't know Jiang Yiyi's identity, right? "This was a private complaint.
Gao Guan and Sima Wentian exchanged glances. Even without his complaint, the two understood that without Qing Zhu's instructions, Shangguan Qing naturally wouldn't rashly go against the Kou Clan. It was just that there were some things that he knew in his heart that he wouldn't say to others.
Sima Wentian coughed dryly and changed the topic away from Qing Zhu. "You too. How could you not have planned it thoroughly before making a move? Who else can you blame?"
Shangguan Qing spread his hands, "How can I not have a thorough plan? I'm already very, very, very careful. The key is that Jiang Yiyi hasn't made a move yet. He hasn't even revealed any clues, but he has already failed. Whether I'm wronged or not, I even doubt whether the Pavilion of Faithfulness can predict. "
Sima Wentian shook his head, "All right! Don't complain, the problem is still you. I've received news that a lot of people have been arrested by the Pavilion of Faithfulness outside the Ghost City's Zongzhen Mansion. Those who took a few glances at the Zongzhen Mansion along the way have all been arrested. Jiang Yiyi is just one of them. They've been cleaning up indiscriminately. Even the two spies that I sent to keep an eye on him have fallen into the hands of the Pavilion of Faithfulness. Jiang Yiyi dared to stay outside the Zongzhen Mansion, so it would be strange if he didn't get caught.
Gao Guan: "I also have three people who have fallen into the hands of the Pavilion of Faithfulness, but they have already released them."
Sima Wentian said in surprise, "Is the Pavilion of Faithfulness so easy to talk to? They just let them go so easily? "
Gao Guan: "I contacted Cao Man directly and said that those three people are my people. If he doesn't release them, I will go to the Heavenly Weng Mansion and bring Xiahou Ta to the Right Monitor Division to cooperate with the investigation. So Cao Man released them."
"…" The other two were dumbfounded. They had never seen someone so direct. However, the two of them believed that Gao Guan could really do such a thing. Moreover, the Right Division was not like the Left Division and the Heroes who could not see the light of day. Gao Guan could do such a thing openly.
Shangguan Qing gave him a thumbs up in admiration and praised, "You're ruthless! If I had known earlier, I would have asked the Pavilion of Faithfulness to get Jiang Yiyi out. It wouldn't have been so troublesome. "
Sima Wentian laughed, "Who told you to hide it from the beginning?"
Gao Guan sneered, "Are the two of you sick? Do you want me to say that Jiang Yiyi is from the Right Monitor Division? "
F * ck! Shangguan Qing was a little embarrassed.
"That's true. That pervert is from the Right Monitor Division and the Heroes Alliance. He can't even hide the fact that he's from the Heavenly Court." Sima Wentian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He then looked up and said, "That's right, Gao Guan, help me get the two people below me out."
"What's the difference between the two of them and that pervert? Who knows what shameful things they've done. You want them? Go find Cao Man yourself. " Gao Guan bluntly denied the accusation and said to Shangguan Qing, "Jiang Yiyi is dead, so there's no point in keeping his sister in your hands. I'm thinking about something here, so give her to me."
Shangguan Qing shook his head, "Who said it's useless? Jiang Yiyi prepared a lot of seals long ago. He can still control his sister. Gao Guan, it's not that I don't give you face, but some people can't be let go easily even if they're useless. After Jiang Yiyi's matter, I don't think I need to say more. "
"You're all jackals of the same tribe. Stop doing immoral things!" Gao Guan didn't force the issue. He turned around and left.
"Heh!" Shangguan Qing pointed at Gao Guan's back, "He's acting as if he's innocent. How many people have died in his hands?"
"Ah!" Sima Wentian sighed and crossed his arms, "There's nothing we can do. Who told his subordinates to do things in the open? We can only do things sneakily. If I were in charge of the Right Monitoring Department, I would have the confidence to say these words."
Shangguan Qing coldly snorted, "Words are better than singing. If you were in that position, could you be as ruthless as him? If you really dare to be like him, not afraid of offending anyone, maybe His Majesty will really consider replacing you. "
Sima Wentian chuckled and shook his head. He flung his sleeves and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Some words didn't need to be said. He admitted that he really couldn't be like Gao Guan, who didn't care about worldly wisdom. Shangguan Qing at least knew to show some goodwill to the outside world. But Gao Guan didn't even leave a way out for himself ah!
Hall of Faith and Justice.
"What? Jiang Yiyi committed suicide in the Ghost City's main government office? "Cao Man, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened her eyes and jumped down from the couch, asking in surprise.
Qi Jue nodded, "According to the spies over there, I heard that he committed suicide."
Cao Man, "Why would he commit suicide for no reason?"
Qi Jue, "The spies over there couldn't get in touch with him, so they don't know the specific situation. They only saw that Jiang Yiyi's body was carried out, and it seemed that his heart had exploded."
Cao Man immediately waved her hand and said, "You personally go and ask Niu Youde what's going on."
"Yes!"
After Qi Jue received the order and left, Cao Man paced back and forth in the room with a calm face. The sudden change had disrupted the plan here. He couldn't help but think about it, but he really couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only sigh softly and wait for the news.
