The last thing Jiang Wuqi did before his death was to use his body as bait to wipe out the spies of the Ping Dynasty in Qi State.
Li Yougui, who was in the Divine Realm, and Yan Tu, who was in the Dongzhen Realm... were all cleared away.
With such wisdom and courage, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated?
Why did he remain silent and why didn't he avenge his mother's murder?
The cold poison enters the hatred of life, why doesn't he snow?
Even more, why did Gongsun Yu leave on New Year's Eve last year?
The paradox is...
Jiang Wuqi stopped talking and Gongsun Yu stopped talking.
Why did Feng Gu end up dying to force him to discover the truth?
Jiang Wang thought hard, and he vaguely felt that he was very close to the clue. But it was like looking at flowers in the fog, and there was always something behind him.
what is it then?
Jiang Wuqi, Feng Gu, Gongsun Yu, Yang Jing...
Gongsun Yu...cut off his tongue!
A person who cannot speak is said to be "dumb".
The door that had been stuck in my mind for a long time suddenly opened.
Among those confusing clues, one suddenly became clear and stood out before our eyes.
Jiang Wang turned around and went out, immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare the car, and rushed directly to the Changsheng Palace.
He wished he could fly there directly, but in a place like Linzi and at such a delicate time, he had to follow some rules.
His heart was racing like a galloping horse, but Jiang Wang's expression remained calm in the gentle carriage.
The more anxious you are, the more quiet you need.
Be still and be able to maintain your composure without losing your original intention.
He even abandoned all distractions and began to practice.
In the practice of Taoism, time always passes leisurely.
The Changsheng Palace is not far away and it didn't take long to get there.
Jiang Wang felt that he had calmed down and lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Go straight to the Changsheng Palace.
"Sir, according to the rules, someone must accompany you before you can go in." The leading Qingpai police officer stopped him.
A new batch of green police officers guarding the Changsheng Palace have been replaced. Of course, all the green police officers in Linzi know Jiang Wang. Even if you have not seen him in person, you should have seen his portrait. Although
Responsibilities lie, but they are also respectful.
"Then you accompany me in." Jiang Wang said directly.
The leading detective shook his head: "None of us are qualified to enter the Palace of Eternal Life."
Jiang Wang, who was focused on the clues, suddenly remembered that during the blockade of Changsheng Palace, which was the scene of the crime, only he, Lin Youxie, and Zheng Shangming, the three green cards responsible for the case, could solve the case.
Enter.
You are not allowed to enter alone, at least two people must supervise each other.
Of course, he was fully capable of sneaking into the Changsheng Palace quietly, so that the policemen wouldn't be able to find him. But in such a chaotic time, there was no need to break the rules.
Sometimes the "shortcut" right in front of you is the extremely tortuous "long road".
If you sneak into the Changsheng Palace quietly, no matter what evidence you get in the end, it will no longer be credible.
"Go and invite Zheng Shangming." Jiang Wang directly ordered: "Just say that I will ask him to accompany me to collect evidence. If Zheng Shangming is not here, deputy envoy Lin Youxie Lin can also do it. In short, whoever you see first, you invite. I'm here
Wait here."
With his current weight, there are very few people in the Qingpai system who don't buy it. Not to mention that there are vague rumors that he will take over as the captain of Beiya.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a green-ranked police officer quickly walked away to the Bei Yamen to ask for help.
Jiang Wangze stood outside the palace gate. After a while, his soul sank into the sea and he began to practice.
Although time is short, it is wasted in waiting, but there is always some benefit in practicing.
If you accumulate steps for thousands of miles, small streams will turn into rivers and seas, and you will climb up from the foot of the mountain step by step.
When Zheng Shangming hurried over, Jiang Wang just opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Shangming asked.
Jiang Wang just said: "Go in and talk."
Two of the three people responsible for the case were present at the same time, and the door of the Changsheng Palace was opened.
The palace has become increasingly deserted, and its popularity has completely disappeared.
Jiang Wang had a clear goal and walked directly to the screen wall with pictures of all living beings.
"Have you discovered anything new?" Zheng Shangming asked again.
Jiang Wang stood in front of the screen wall and carefully looked at the mural left by Jiang Wuqi without saying a word.
Zheng Shangming also fell silent.
There are too many characters and too complicated scenes in this picture of all living beings, which almost includes all of Jiang Wuqi’s observations on “people”.
Anyone who looks at it carefully can notice its beauty.
But if there are any clues hidden in it, there are so many clues and a "key" is necessary to get them.
Jiang Wang had been wondering if he had missed any clues. He had studied this mural repeatedly before. But it was not until he thought of Gongsun Yu's severed tongue today that he suddenly made the connection.
In this picture of living beings, let alone those with sound limbs, there are blind people talking endlessly to the deaf, deaf people gesticulating to the blind, and smellless people fishing by the river...
It can be said to depict all sentient beings.
But as the saying goes, "deafness, blindness, and muteness are the four deficiencies" (yong), Jiang Wuqi painted the appearances of all living beings. Since he has deafness, blindness, and muteness, how could he miss a "dumb" one?
The answer is actually very simple. The place where the mute should be is Jiang Wuqi's "mute", which is his unspoken words!
The location where the mute should be was easy to find, and Jiang Wuqi didn't hide it too deep on purpose.
Divide this map of living beings into nine palaces.
The deaf and blind men are in the lower left corner of the painting, in Gen Palace.
The person with carbuncle is in the Duigong in the middle on the right side. A small river runs from Duigong to Qiangong and passes through the outside of the painting. On the river bank, farmers are carrying dung and walking, and the person with carbuncle is fishing with a pole.
Based on the positions of the deaf and blind people on the entire painting, the corresponding location of the deaf person should be the direction of the Li Palace, which is the middle position on the upper level of the painting.
In this place, what is painted is a barren mountain, with the rolling mountains extending out of the picture.
Specifically, based on the location of the person with carbuncle, the precise corresponding location is on the barren mountain...
A lonely grave!
This is an inconspicuous solitary grave. Of course Jiang Wang had seen it before, but he only passed by it in a hurry.
At this time, I locked this position and looked closely, and then I noticed the tombstone in front of the grave. There were only four words engraved on it.
It is unlike any other epitaph format.
These four words are what Jiang Wuqi wanted to say.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What is engraved is——
"The deceased is gone."
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.
In his analysis, he thought that Gongsun Yu cut his tongue not only to cut off the truth of that year, but also to hint at the answer left by Jiang Wuqi on the wall.
A person's muteness itself is a key.
Therefore, Jiang Wang took it for granted that Jiang Wuqi hid the truth of the major case here.
But Jiang Wuqi just left his choice here...
This is the tomb of Concubine Lei...
The words "The deceased has passed away" on the tombstone are Jiang Wuqi's choice and a warning to those who pursue the truth to this point.
The mute person who was not drawn was Jiang Wuqi himself.
He depicted all living beings in one painting and told too many stories. When it was his turn, he only said "that's it"...
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.
The assassination case that year led to the death of Concubine Lei Gui, which led to Jiang Wuqi's death from cold poison when he was born. Of course, it also led to the death of the famous arrester Lin Kuang and Lin Youxie's phobia.
The huge whirlpool it created is still involving human lives seventeen years later.
He gave up the position of Captain of Beiya that was easily available and chose the word truth. He also wanted to thank Jiang Wuqi for his heroic sympathy and seek the truth for him.
But Jiang Wuqi had already found out the truth of the case.
His Royal Highness chose to remain silent.
This can also explain why Gongsun Yu left the Changsheng Palace and why he told Yang Jing, "I'm afraid it's hard to stop talking."
It seems that Gongsun Yu was one of the important members who investigated the truth at that time. After learning the truth, Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent and asked everyone to keep it secret.
Gongsun Yu was worried that he could not keep the secret, so he took the initiative to cut out his tongue and retired to Biwu County at a young age.
What truth needs to be this way?
That truth...
what exactly is it?
In addition, Jiang Wang also clarified another key issue.
Feng Gu used suicide to trace the old case, which was indeed not Jiang Wuqi's decision.
It was more of Feng Gu's own decision.
Feng Gu is indeed loyal to Jiang Wuqi, but as a living person, he also has his own independent will.
He said that Jiang Wuqi had gotten what he wanted, which was not false. He said that he had not gotten what he wanted, and that was also true.
Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent.
And he wanted Zhang Ming.
Why would he make a different choice from Jiang Wuqi?
The answer to this question may no longer be known after his death.
Maybe it was because he was still worried about the death of Concubine Lei, or maybe he had given up after Jiang Wuqi's death and didn't want to think about the political situation anymore...
Anyway, that's what happened.
What Jiang Wang needs to consider is——
Do you want to explore the truth now?
The biggest culprit in the assassination of Concubine Lei, and the person most qualified to pursue the case, have already made their choice!
"This painting is very complicated and vivid." Zheng Shangming asked at this time: "Are there any clues you want in it?"
"You've seen it too, haven't you?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zheng Shangming shook his head: "I don't understand."
Perhaps he meant that he did not understand the painting. Perhaps he meant that he did not understand Jiang Wuqi's choice.
In short, he would not share the truth about Concubine Lei's assassination with Jiang Wang after he rejected the position of Captain of Beiya.
The reason why Jiang Wang came to the Changsheng Palace today without hiding it from Zheng Shangming, and even took the initiative to ask Zheng Shangming to accompany him, was because he knew that he could not hide it. When he came to the Changsheng Palace, Zheng Shangming would definitely follow him, so he simply acted openly and did not hide anything.
"Have you decided who will take over as the captain of Beiya?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zheng Shangming gave a bitter smile: "How much power do you think my father has? This matter can be decided by us behind closed doors after a few discussions? We are looking for you because you can sit in this position, because you are Jiang Qingyang
.Do you think whoever I name can be the one?"
Jiang Wang didn't believe that Zheng Shihui didn't have an alternative. How could such a person who knew how to play the Qingpai system and was so comfortable in Linzi bet all his money on one person?
In the end, he rejected the position of Captain of Beiya, and his friendship with Zheng Shangming ceased to be just ordinary friends.
"gone!"
Jiang Wang turned around and walked out.
"Don't look at other places anymore?" Zheng Shangming asked as he walked behind.
"No need." Jiang Wang said, "There is only one last key to unlocking the truth."
"I thought only Chong Xuan Sheng likes to play riddles. Why don't you learn from it?"
Zheng Shangming's tone was relaxed. Maybe he was sure that Jiang Wang couldn't get the last key, or maybe he was closer to the truth.
In short, what he is more worried about now is who will transition the power vacuum between him and his father.
A person who is not very powerful will not be able to get the position of Captain of Bei Ya, but a person who is too powerful usually has too much ambition. It is not impossible to turn around and kick him away when he gets to the position, and not give him a chance to take over.
The two of them only stayed in the Palace of Eternal Life for a short period of time, so short that the team of police officers outside the palace gate didn't even finish the second topic.
This period of time is also very long, long enough for another Qingpai agent who reported the news to rush outside the Changsheng Palace.
"Master Zheng, the latest news!"
Zheng Shangming stepped forward quickly, took the urgent letter from the green agent's hand, opened it and took a look.
After a brief pause, he forwarded the letter to Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was very curious. There was no need to hide the urgent news. He took it and unfolded it -
"Retired arrester Ulie was confirmed dead. His body was found in the waters near Haimen Island and has been rushed back to Linzi."
Uriel is dead...
Uriel died like this?
So far, the once famous "Nanwu Beilin" in the Eastern Region has become empty.
Jiang Wang was surprisingly not surprised by the news of Uriel's death.
As early as he knew that Uriel was investigating the Osawada clan alone, and that Tian Huanwen had already attacked Uriel, Jiang Wang had a vague feeling that this day would come.
The path Uriel took was a road of no return.
As the person said, life and death have long been ignored.
But Jiang Wang didn't expect that it would come so suddenly.
After so many years.
We have survived many storms and waves, only to fall just when the truth is about to surface.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who picked up the body?" Zheng Shangming asked.
The catcher replied: "Yang Wei and deputy envoy Yang went to pick it up in person, and the captain will greet the coffin in Beiya."
Uriel devoted most of his life to the Qingpai system and only left Qingpai after Lin Kuang's death. His contribution to the Qingpai system and Beiya can never be erased.
Yang Weitong, the deputy inspector general who held the real power, went to receive the body, and the captain of Beiya personally stayed at the inspector's house to welcome the coffin, which was as it should be.
Even though strictly speaking, Uriel has been out of office for many years and no longer has a green card around his waist, but who can deny that he is a totem-like existence in the green card system?
The so-called god-catching Yue Leng, in front of him, was just a laggard.
To this day, there are too many rules in Qingpai's handling of cases, all set by people of Ulie's generation. There are too many methods of handling cases that have been inherited from the old days. Among them, the two great arresters, Ulie and Lin Kuang, have the greatest influence.
Ulie and Lin Kuang are equally famous, and Ulie is much older than Lin Kuang. The two have been close friends for many years and can be said to be both teachers and friends.
Relatively speaking, Uriel also has a higher status in the Qingpai system.
The inspection office must express a sufficient attitude towards Uriel's death. All those who wear green cards on their waists must express sufficient respect for Uriel himself.
This is not even about personal emotions, but a kind of inheritance of past history.
Zheng Shangming looked at Jiang Wang and said in a complicated tone: "Let's go, let's go to Beiya and wait together."
"It's time to wait." Jiang Wang said.
Yet he knew.
The clues about Gu Xing on Bajiao Island...should be broken.
In other words, he and Lin Youxie lost the last key to the truth.
