"Envoy Du Yun serves the gods and rarely interacts with courtiers." Fu Shanyue said seriously, "The one they see most is the emperor!"
Are you sending a special envoy who doesn’t take sides?
Is Lingxu City's attitude impartial?
"In my Bejia Star-Zhaing Tower, the status of the lantern-keeper is very high, not to mention Du Yun." Fu Shanyue said quickly, "This Baidu always walks around in accordance with the will of the gods. You will see him soon.
, don’t neglect it!”
When these last four words came out of the mouth of the lawless Fu Shanyue, He Lingchuan knew that the person coming was something special.
Aren't these the clergy who serve the gods?
Fu Shanyue stood up and went out to greet him personally.
There were already two people in the inn lobby, and one of them turned out to be Fan Sheng.
Fushan walked over and said with a smile: "Master Bai, long time no see!" Then he nodded to Fan Sheng, "Commander Fan."
The other visitor, let alone handsome, looked not only mediocre, but even a little petty. Standing next to Fan Sheng, there was a huge difference.
But He Lingchuan did not dare to despise him.
On the one hand, Fu Shanyue, who had always been domineering, changed his attitude when he met Bai Ziqi; on the other hand, Du Yunshi's first function was to serve the gods. In terms of the god-revering manner of the people of Bejia, there was no need to say three courts and five eyes in selecting waiters.
, at least have a good appearance to show respect for the gods.
Bai Ziqi has such a distinguished appearance, but he can still be the deputy envoy of Duyun, so he must be extraordinary.
Let's talk about Fan Sheng, the arrogant second-in-command of the Tongxin Guards, standing behind Bai Ziqi at the moment.
When Bai Ziqi saw Fu Shanyue, he was also smiling: "Your Highness! Haha, last time we met, I was the eldest son, and now I am your Highness, congratulations!"
There's something strangely contagious about his smile, which makes him seem less annoying.
The two people had known each other before, exchanged a few words of greetings, and asked each other to sit down.
Fan Sheng and He Lingchuan also sat down respectively.
Bai Ziqi didn't use any official accent, but directly explained his purpose: "I was originally in the Twilight Plains, but the Emperor's flying eagle gave me an urgent order, so he rushed me here on errands."
"Twilight Plains?" Fu Shanyue was startled, "No wonder it's so fast. I thought it would take less than half a month to send envoys from the imperial capital."
Twilight Plains is in the south of Chiyan. It is a bit far away from here, but it is still much faster than starting from Lingxu City.
"It must be like this in the past." Bai Ziqi sighed, "Isn't it just that I'm outside? The emperor probably didn't want to see the old men arguing in front of him, so he pointed at me from afar, and I hurriedly came."
"Is Commander Bai going to the Twilight Plains on business?" Fu Shanyue couldn't believe that he only stayed in the Twilight Plains. A few steps to the north, he entered the border of the Chiyan Kingdom. Ninety percent of this guy has already passed the customs and entered the country!
Why did the envoy of Lingxu City sneak into the territory of Chiyan Kingdom without making a sound?
"Of course, you think I like to wander around with nothing to do?" Bai Ziqi laughed and brought the topic back, "The whereabouts of the youngest of the Zhongsun family are still unknown?"
"The monster that devoured him has not shown up yet." Fu Shanyue said with a heavy expression on his face, "I'm not optimistic."
He turned back and pointed at He Lingchuan: "The emperor designated the case of the missing White-shouldered Eagle Messenger to be investigated and handled by the Chiyan Kingdom. My father did not dare to neglect it. This is the special envoy I personally appointed to investigate the case. I followed the clues all the way from Zhitian Township, and I didn't expect to find out what I am now.
A big fish."
Big fish, of course, refers to Cen Boqing.
Sitting next to him was He Lingchuan. Bai Ziqi had looked at him several times and then let out a long "Oh, I heard that you are from the Fu country?"
He Lingchuan met his gaze: "Exactly."
"Tell me this case from beginning to end. The more detailed the better."
Although he had read Fushan Yueti's case statement, the content there was definitely not as detailed as the person handling the case.
He Lingchuan said it exactly as it was, trying to be as concise as possible without adding any extravagance or jealousy.
Of course, let’s not mention the fact that Mai Xuewen came to our door privately. After Zhongsun Mou was killed, He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue exchanged their confessions more than once and decided to hide this "little thing" to avoid misunderstanding by the envoys of Lingxu City.
He had only been working on this case for a short time, only a few months, but the content was complicated and tortuous, and it took him almost half an hour to basically finish the description.
During this period, the beads, portraits, and the "Record of Worshiping Gods" used by Mai Xuewen to solve puzzles were also taken out.
Fan Sheng was quiet throughout the whole process and didn't say a word.
Bai Ziqi listened very carefully and occasionally asked questions, but He Lingchuan answered everything he knew.
He had long made up his mind that when facing the Lingxu City envoy, all he had to do was be "honest."
Restore the original appearance of the incident and expose the entire process to the sun as much as possible so that no one can find anything wrong with a magnifying glass. Then He Lingchuan himself will be safe.
After retelling the case, Bai Ziqi said "Okay, okay" three times, and then said: "It sounds like the special envoy handled the case appropriately. In other words, the current difficulty lies with Wu Kai. His identification,
Is it the key to Cen Boqing’s conviction?”
"Exactly."
"If he doesn't plead guilty, then both himself and Cen Boqing are not guilty." Bai Ziqi shook his head, "Isn't the case stuck here? Do you have any countermeasures?"
"Wu Kai's subordinate Yang Song has already confessed and identified him." Fu Shanyue answered, "But there is no physical evidence. Wu Kai is very cautious. If you have a good strategy, please ask Bai Dushi for advice."
"I'm new here, so I need to listen more and see more." Bai Ziqi acted very modestly. "In addition, the prince thinks that Cen Boqing colluded with Zhongsun Miao and made false confessions for the courier case to cover up the truth? This is a very serious accusation."
The Zhongsun family, the Cen family, Da Si Nong, and the Chi Yan Kingdom had angered the three powerful families in Lingxu City in one fell swoop.
"Fu Songhua, the felon whom they accused of being the murderer, and Pang Denian, Wu Kai's subordinate who bribed the prison boss and entered the prison to make confessions, were both detained and have also written confessions."
"Where's Fu Songhua's confession?"
The sooner Fushan is ready, the sooner he can ask someone to serve it.
Bai Ziqi spread it out and read each page very carefully.
He Lingchuan noticed that he read almost word for word, especially the last few pages, which he only turned over in a long time, and his expression became more solemn.
Why does the time spent reading the last few pages exceed the total of the previous pages?
He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly as he remembered something.
Cen Boqing took precautions and prepared a false confession long ago. Once the incident came to light, he would put the blame on the fugitive Fu Songhua's forehead.
But there is one point that Cen Boqing cannot avoid, that is, he must make it clear in his false confession: why did the "mastermind" Fu Songhua know the departure time and route of the White-shouldered Eagle Courier?
Otherwise, how can we be sure that he is a female cadre?
Therefore, Fu Songhua "must" have an internal correspondent in Lingxu City.
Such a name indeed appears in the confession.
But because the disappearance of the White-shouldered Eagle Messenger was an unexpected event, even Cen Boqing himself could not predict it.
If he wants to add new content to the false confession he has prepared, and if he wants to disguise the accident as deliberate, it will be difficult for him to avoid revealing his flaws.
Therefore, the name of this "neiying" is very crucial. Only if Lingxu City finds something based on this investigation will it accept this false confession.
Bai Ziqi read it, thought for a long time, and then said: "The biggest doubt about this case is that Mai Xuewen's behavior does not make sense."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue both had question marks on their faces.
"He doesn't live in Baishajian at all. He doesn't even buy a house here. He only comes here twice a year at most. Why is his food, clothing, and everything related to Baishajian? It seems he is afraid that others won't know."
He Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was slightly dazed. These clues were buried in the complicated case, one to the east and one to the west. The contents of Fushan Yueshang's memorial were just a simple list, but Bai Ziqi was able to find something strange in them.
He Lingchuan felt weird at first because he handled the case personally and was right there, so he could see and feel it.
Bai Ziqi can find out the doubtful points through simple and cold files.
He is truly worthy of being the special envoy entrusted by the Demon Emperor with important responsibilities.
"Maybe he just likes these tunes?" Fu Shanyue shrugged, "Just like Chiyan also produces chewing tobacco, but I only like the ones from Baoshu Kingdom."
"Even if I don't say it, from now on the Cen family, Zhongsun
Everyone will use these doubts to criticize the prince." Bai Ziqi politely nodded to him and said, "By the way, where is the suspect named Wu being detained? I want to see him."
"It's right here with me." Fu Shanyue glanced at He Lingchuan, "Fu Songhua was imprisoned in the county jail before, but the prison leader was bribed by the Cen government. It's no longer safe there."
He Lingchuan suddenly stood up and sprinted out of the hall. He moved very quickly and disappeared with a breath. Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "Is this?"
What's happening outside?
Fushan Yue happened to speak at the same time: "It's evening, will Bai Duzhang come and have dinner at my place? I have some of the best cooks in Baishaqiang. Baishaqiang is rich in products, including things that swim in the water, things that fly in the sky, and things that can be stewed."
It tastes delicious, it’s not easy to eat such fresh food in Lingxu City.”
"I appreciate the prince's kindness." Bai Ziqi looked at the sky, "I have to go to the Cen Mansion later."
Fu Shanyue exclaimed: "Is Bai Du going to the Cen Mansion again?"
"I have to listen to both sides." Bai Ziqi smiled half-heartedly, "The case is difficult to handle, and the emperor takes it very seriously."
He couldn't just listen to the prince's words. Cen Boqing's side of the story was also one of the key points of the emperor's explanation.
"If the case is easy to handle, how can Labor Bai Dujia be able to do it?" Fushanyue coughed, "If it is found out that Cen Boqing is the mastermind behind it, what will Bai Dujia do?"
"Investigate and handle in accordance with the law." Bai Ziqi said meaningfully, "I have said that the emperor attaches great importance to it."
"What if there is someone else after Cen Boqing's death?" This is what Chiyan King and his son care most about.
Bai Ziqi smiled: "You're taking it step by step, Prince, why should you be anxious?"
Fu Shanyue sighed: "Before I came here, my father specially told me that this case must be investigated to the bottom of the case, the real culprit must be caught, and the victims of the demon people in Chiyan must be given a satisfactory explanation!"
To put it simply, the attitude of the King of Chiyan is just eight words:
We will never give up until we get to the bottom of it.
Just as Fu Shanyue was about to speak, Tiger Jiao Yu rushed in from outside, leaving an afterimage so fast that there was no nonsense in his mouth:
