Chapter 23 Seventeen Years

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Most elderly people are like this. They have experienced too much and have been like this for most of their lives, so they are actually more stubborn."

The tall and slender Li Fengyao was walking in the garden of the Hou Mansion, making all the flowers pale in comparison. The always cold and distant voice was somewhat gentle to Jiang Wang: "I don't want you to step on the pits they have stepped on again. The mistakes they have made are not the same." I hope you do it again. They hope you can have the good things 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 Too concerned."

"Ah, no."

In front of Li Fengyao, Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

For him, the image of Li Fengyao was first established through the descriptions of Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian. These two were treated docilely by Li Fengyao, and meeting Li Fengyao was like a mouse meeting a cat. As their best friend, Jiang Wang was born short. Li Fengyao's head.

Every time we meet, we are respectful and cautious.

Although Li Fengyao didn't treat him as cruelly as the rumors said, he didn't even show him any mercy...

Compared to Mr. Jiang, Li Fengyao himself was more generous. As he walked, he asked, "Which star field is your outer building built on?"

The topic became so sudden that Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.

"What?" Li Fengyao stopped and looked at him with those frosty beautiful eyes: "I'm not worthy to discuss cultivation with you, the first genius of Daqi?"

"No such intention!" Jiang Wang explained hurriedly: "I was just thinking about the case... Yu Heng, it's Yu Heng."

A smile flashed in Li Fengyao's eyes, he turned around and continued to walk forward: "Qingpai has its own position. You shouldn't tell me about the case."

"Yes, I'm just thinking about it in my heart and won't say it out loud." Jiang Wang was as reserved as a young boy who had just entered school. He could completely understand the moods of Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian.

This sister... has such a strong aura.

"But we can talk about spiritual practice. After all, the road is far away, and we can confirm each other." Li Fengyao raised his head and glanced at the sky, and suddenly saw two bright stars, echoing each other from a distance.

Since the Qixing Valley group, Li Fengyao has never been seen showing his strength again.

Jiang Wang didn't realize until today that Li Fengyao had already erected two star towers without saying a word!

If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be a surprise.

As early as in the Seven Star Valley, when he was still in the Tenglong realm, Li Fengyao was already in the realm of the inner palace of supernatural power. At that time, I heard that the magical power she took off was not convenient for fighting, but it was helpful for practice.

After the end of the Seven Star Valley Secret Realm, she has been practicing on Ice Phoenix Island, and it hasn't been long since she returned to Linzi.

And this sister Fengyao is a ruthless character who changed her name in the Shimen Li family tree!

Even if he is favored by his elders, how could he change the Li family's rules at this age without extraordinary talent?

"The Star Tower is the foundation for describing the Tao, and the Wailou Realm is the realm for describing the Tao." But no matter what Li Fengyao's level was, Jiang Wang instantly became more calm when talking about cultivation.

To his 'sister' he felt awkward, but to his 'fellow Taoist' he talked eloquently: "It's nothing more than summarizing the past knowledge of life, even if it's a little superficial, it must be close to the truth. Truth is the basis of questioning. Take Yuheng as an example , I have been thinking about what kind of 'Tao' can stand proudly in the universe and stand firm in all directions. Where do I want to go and what do I want..."

Li Fengyao obviously didn't expect that he would actually talk about cultivation, but he listened carefully to the end. Then he said: "Speaking of Wailou Realm, my father is in charge of Zhufeng, the Nine Soldiers, and there is a general in the Wailou Realm named Gu Xing.

, which impressed the old man deeply."

Jiang Wang also didn't understand why Li Fengyao suddenly talked about the general in Zhufeng Army, but he did his best to listen carefully: "This person is very strong?"

Li Fengyao glanced at him: "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 relieved of his military duties and went to sea for many years. Now it is Bajiao Island

The owner of the island."

"Is this person very important in the Zhufeng Army?" Jiang Wang asked.

"If it was important, why would he leave? How could Zhufeng let him go?" Li Fengyao said softly: "I just thought of him today... Do you think it's strange? He has a fellow countryman, I don't know if he is a good friend, but after all

We know each other. His surname is Du Mingfang, he is a head catcher in Beiya, and he is also a cultivator in the Wailou realm. This catcher, in the process of arresting a Tenglong level suspect, actually died together with the suspect."

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and then said: "It's very strange."

Only then did he react.

The year 3920 of the Dao calendar is the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng!

Where was Li Fengyao discussing the cultivation at the outer building level? He was providing him with clues to the case that year!

"Okay. After wandering around for so long, we can all do business." Li Fengyao gave a rare smile.

Such an iceberg beauty with unparalleled appearance, just smiled softly, as if the entire frosty winter was relieved, and the winter moon became bright because of it.

Even though Jiang Wang's mind was already involved in the turbulent case, he was stunned for a moment in front of this chuckle.

"Go back." She said.

"Hey, okay." Jiang Wang responded obediently.

"Then I won't give it away." Li Fengyao stopped and said, "Grandma likes you very much. Come and see 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 Devastating Marquis' Mansion.





Speaking of my relationship with the Shimen Li family, it started with Li Longchuan.

When they first met in Tianfu Secret Realm, Jiang Wang's attitude towards Shimen Li was actually cautious.

Mainly because of the poem "Everyone in the world praises Shimen Li, who else knows about Fengxian Zhang?"

Both are top-notch sects and were heroes of the restoration of the country. Why can the Li family of Shimen remain standing, while the Zhang family of Fengxian has fallen to this?

While I feel sorry for the Fengxian Zhang family, I can’t help but look more closely at the Shimen Li family.

Later, he sent Qiu Shan's bow to Li Longchuan on behalf of Chongxuan Sheng, and with Xu Xiangqian's help, the two parties officially became friends.

What kind of aristocratic family is the Shimen Li family?

The ancestors were able to enjoy the merits of restoring the country and established a spiritual shrine in the Palace of Protecting the Country, at the forefront!

Over the years, famous generals have emerged in large numbers and talents have never been exhausted, and they have always been among the top famous families in Daqi.

Jiang Wang, a country man from a small and remote country, has never felt the slightest arrogance in his contacts with such famous families. Whether it is Li Longchuan, Mrs. Li, Li Fengyao...

From the beginning to now, all he felt was respect.

This is true now, and it was true when he was far from famous.

So why can the Li family of Shimen enjoy such glory for so long?

Maybe this is the reason.

Sitting on the carriage returning home, Jiang Wang thought quietly.

A family of the Shimen Li family's level can naturally ignore many rules.

But as a member of the Qingpai system, Jiang Wang has to be cautious when participating in important cases investigated by Qingpai.

Li Fengyao would not mention Dao Li 3920 without any reason, let alone Gu Xing without reason.

To put it bluntly, how could Shimen Li be so obsessed with a mere outsider-level figure?

Only where Gu Xing went later is quite worth pondering.

Bajiao Island is an island controlled by the Tian family overseas.

Gu Xing was dismissed from Zhufeng and chose to go overseas. Is this related to the Tian family?

And what Li Fengyao specifically mentioned, the Qingpai head catcher named Du Fang, who was practicing outside the building and died together with the Tenglong realm suspects, what role did he play in that major case that year?

Li Fengyao would not be idle and mentioned this person.

Every additional clue brings you closer to the truth.

Jiang Wang had a hunch that he was not far away from it.

While I was thinking, suddenly the curtain moved and a figure flashed in.

Although Jiang Wang was frightened, he opened his big hand and destroyed Daoyuan violently. The power of his soul was even more surging, and his left eye had turned red...

It all happened in an instant and subsided in an instant.

The five protruding fingers were pressed to the other party's door, hovering for a moment, and then withdrawn.

"I almost killed you!" He frowned.

Lin Youxie sat down in the carriage, still wearing a green scarf and men's clothing. He said without any fluctuations in his expression: "If you can't even control this, then you are in vain to be called the first genius of Qi. Unless

, you really want to kill me."

To be able to close this distance with a cultivation level that is far inferior to his... can only be said to be Lin Kuang's daughter.

There must be many unique secret techniques such as "Nian Chen"...

"Master?" the coachman said from outside the curtain.

"It's okay." Jiang Wang responded loudly.

He casually suppressed the sounds in the carriage, and Jiang Wang said with a headache: "If you want to visit me openly, you can come to the door with a name card. If you want to visit me secretly, why did you get into my carriage on the street?

?”

"Because when you come to the door with a name card, your butler has to ask where you are, and you have to consider your mood to see if you are willing to see the guests." Lin Youxie said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Wang:……

"Moreover." Lin Youxie said: "As long as you are calm enough, you are actually more concealed during the day than at night. Getting into your carriage suddenly on the street is much more secretive than knocking on your back door in the middle of the night..."

Facing Jiang Wang's complicated eyes, she concluded: "I hope a little knowledge of handling cases can help you."

"You came here just to teach me today?" 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 Concubine Lei's case?"

"Actually, Feng Gu has left many clues." Lin Youxie said, "Right in front of our eyes."

"For example?"

"Feng Gu hanged himself in the mourning hall, facing the northeast corner when he died. At the funeral of His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince, who stood in the mourning hall on the first day, and who was standing there... Do you still remember?"

Jiang Wang thought for a while and said seriously: "At first it was Palace Master Huaying, and later... Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"This is the first clue given by Feng Gu, facing the Queen!" Lin Youxie said: "This is the clue given to those who were also present at the time, including you, Lord Jiang, of course."

"This is too far-fetched." Jiang Wang shook his head and said, "The funeral lasted for three days, and 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 position, almost no one else."

"How could the direction the deceased was facing 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, he hangs himself from a beam, either toward the gate or in the direction he wants to see. Feng Gu obviously

It’s the latter situation.”

As someone who also appeared on the first day of the funeral, Jiang Wang actually had some vague belief in his heart.

Because he has been thinking about what clues Feng Gu 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 by His Highness Eleven?"

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 are other pharmacists in Beiya who have tested it. The ingredients are not bad at all. But I didn't tell you the time."

"time?"

"There is a new medicine. It was added after the bowl of medicinal soup had cooled for at least a day or two. Apart from Feng Gu, I can't think of anyone else who would do this. This medicine

, which is the red-bellied spider leg."

Jiang Wang was silent.

He usually only pretends to understand in front of Chongxuan Fatty, but he really doesn't understand the red-bellied spider legs very well.

If there is something wrong with this medicine, Zheng Shi also heard about the ingredients of the medicine that day. Why didn't he react?

"It is also an elixir to resist cold poison. It is not special when placed in this bowl of medicinal soup. But the red-bellied spider itself is very special." Lin Youxie continued: "It has another name, called 'food spider'. This is

Spiders give birth to their offspring and eat them. Ten spiders hatch at a time, nine of them are eaten and one of them is kept."

"Why did Feng Gu deliberately add such a medicine? His Highness Eleven is no longer here. This bowl of medicine is not for people to drink, but for others to see. Who should show it? Maybe me, maybe you. His Highness Eleven's biological mother

Dead, who does this food-eating spider refer to... I think it is self-evident."

Jiang Wang was shocked and moved!

If Feng Gu really wanted to hint at something, then the sum of these hints is indeed enough...

So, in the 38th year of Yuanfeng, the murderer of the assassination of Concubine Lei was actually the current queen?

If the person behind the scenes is really the Queen, then it is completely understandable that this case is so pressing.

If it were the shadow cast by the current queen, Feng Gu, as the eunuch in charge of the Changsheng Palace, could indeed only use his death to affect the case!

but……

Jiang Wang quickly pulled away from the shock and said calmly: "But these can only show Feng Gu's hatred at most. He can think that the current queen is the murderer of Concubine Lei, but his suspicion is not evidence.

"

What Jiang Wang wants to express is very simple

These alone are far from enough to uncover the assassination case of Concubine Lei.

To put it bluntly, Feng Gu is no match for a dog from the Changsheng Palace. Compared to the Queen, who is he?

When he took this bite, it felt neither painful nor itchy.

His suspicions were trivial.

More than just Feng Gu?

What is the difference between Jiang Qingyang and Lin Youxie's suspicions and Feng Gu's?

Only with solid evidence can there be any possibility of shaking the Queen's authority.

otherwise……

They rashly opened their mouths to doubt, only to die!

He hoped that Lin Youxie would crash into the carriage today and bring evidence when talking about this matter.

But Lin Youxie shook his head: "How can there be evidence?"

Her voice was extremely bitter: "So many years have passed. How could someone who could commit such a big case keep the evidence until now?"

Time never holds anything for anyone.

Therefore, during these seventeen years, there was a deep sense of despair.
