Chapter three hundred and thirty fifth death escape
After Su Wen returned to the inner factory, he discovered that the inner factory did not have any information about Wang Cizhi.
This is no wonder. The inner factory is not a real spy agency. Its main function is to deal with extraordinary powers. Wang Cizhi lives in seclusion. When the inner factory determines that he has no monitoring value, he hands over the information he has to other relevant agencies and ignores it.
this matter.
However, it is relatively easy for the internal factory to retrieve relevant information. It quickly found a lot of information about the Wang family from the database of the Ministry of Household Affairs, including some records about Wang Cizhi. Unfortunately,
These records are not as numerous as those archived by the Internal History Museum.
However, based on the information from the Internal History Museum and some information from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Su Wen still found some clues.
At least Su Wen can be sure that Wang Cizhi is still alive.
Cui Wenwen corresponded with Wang Cizhi before, and Wang Cizhi's address has never changed, which is in Daliang City.
According to the records of the Household Department, Wang would trade some rare materials with the Household Department every year in exchange for three materials from Guixu, all of which Su Wen knew.
The three materials all grow in a world of chaotic order and can be used to prepare secret medicines, but they can suppress out-of-control dark forces.
Previously, Wenling Palace had a firm control over the production of Guixu, and there were quotas for the materials given to the imperial courts and extraordinary forces of various countries. However, the wealthy families in various countries were classified into the secular world and could not trade directly with Wenling Palace, so the Wang family
If you want to obtain such materials, you can only make deals with the imperial court.
This was also one of the methods used by the imperial court to restrict aristocratic families.
"Black silver, ghost willow roots, gold-backed fish bones..."
Su Wen had never seen a golden-backed fish, but the golden-backed fish is one of the specialties of Shenhun Bay. In the territory where the fish-headed people live, human extraordinary beings have repeatedly attacked the territory of the fish-headed people, in order to seize the gold in this sea area.
Carrying fish resources has a lot to do with it.
The flesh of the goldenback fish is highly poisonous, and a drop of the toxin in the meat juice can kill a Sequence Three transcendent. But burning its fish bones to ashes and taking them can detoxify the goldenback fish. The fish of the goldenback fish
Bones can also gather the dark atmosphere in the human body, condense it into substance, and induce vomiting.
This is the orthodox way in the Guixu world. It is the cheapest way for low-sequence transcendental beings to expel the darkness pollution in their bodies. Since the Wenling Palace began to develop Guixu on a large scale, the golden back fish has been a strategic material, and the quota given to the surface world is very small.
The Wang family was able to exchange gold-backed fish bones from the Ministry of Household Affairs, which shows that the Wang family is indeed capable and has a good relationship with the court.
This also shows that the Wang family also has characters who need to restrain the power of darkness all year round. It proves that some of the core members of the Wang family cannot do without the golden-backed fish bones - ordinary members cannot get this treatment. After all, on the ground, a palm is as big as a hand.
The gold-backed fish bones are converted into five hundred taels of gold, and Wang exchanges them for twelve pieces every year, which is six thousand taels of gold per year. This is only the price recorded on paper. In private, Wang wants to exchange it smoothly.
The necessary strategic materials have to be managed up and down, and the sacrifices of favors and property are naturally difficult to calculate.
"Check, this Wang Cizhi's... whereabouts in the last one or two years..."
Su Wen called the factory guard and handed over the task. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was of little use and gave up the idea.
According to the known information, Wang Cizhi is like an old turtle, living in seclusion for hundreds of years without any trace of activity.
He even suspected that within the Wang family, there were not many juniors who knew that Wang Cizhi was still alive.
If the inner factory went to investigate Wang Cizhi at this time, he was destined to get no information. Even if there was any information, it would not be what he wanted.
"It's better to go directly to Wang Cizhi!"
Su Wen took a deep breath.
He believed that Wang Cizhi at this time must not have expected that someone had already targeted him.
A sudden attack would not only catch Wang Ci by surprise, but he might even be able to find the taboo object "blank paper".
As long as the "blank paper" is found, it can be confirmed that Wang Cizhi is the person behind the scenes.
Su Wen took out the seal and sent a message to Nangong, telling him his findings and thoughts.
"...Your Majesty, that's it...eh..."
Nangong, who was reporting the progress of the case to Ji Changge, suddenly felt something in his heart. He took out the seal and took a look at it, and his expression froze.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Ji Changge, who was dressed in casual clothes, was half-lying on a soft couch with his eyes closed. A palace maid knelt behind him and gently rubbed his temples. There was also a palace maid on each side tapping his legs. It felt very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Su Wen... seems to have found the suspect."
Nangong is someone who has seen big storms, and he boasts that he has seen all kinds of scenes.
But...he had never seen such a quick case solved, especially a mysterious case involving forbidden objects.
He looked at the leak not far away and sighed in his heart. Su Wen found the second suspect from a lot of messy information, and it didn't even take two days!
"Oh, who is so brave?"
Ji Changge touched his short mustache and narrowed his eyes.
Nangong couldn't explain who Wang Cizhi was for a while, so he could only start from the beginning: "Your Majesty, does he remember the imperial examination fraud case during the reign of Emperor Xiaomin?"
"Of course I remember."
Ji Changge nodded. Emperor Xiaomin was the only emperor of the Liang Dynasty who was assassinated in the palace. Ji Changge was extremely impressed. As for the imperial examination fraud case that year, it was impossible for him to forget. It was through this opportunity that the royal family and major universities
The academy worked together to completely reverse the situation in which the aristocratic family controlled the government.
However, the consequence of this move is that the court, which was originally a competition between the royal family and the aristocratic families, has become a fighting field for the royal family, academies and aristocratic families. However, the three parties also formed a stable triangle. During the more than 100 years of the Liang Dynasty,
, the internal affairs were very stable until Ji Changge succeeded to the throne and decided to implement reforms, which caused conflicts between the royal family and the aristocratic family, causing a lot of turmoil.
The academies of various schools maintained an ambiguous attitude during Ji Changge's radical reforms. They did not blatantly support or oppose it with a clear-cut banner. Instead, they found policies in line with their own school concepts from the reforms and exerted influence, which made many extraordinary people of the school
Taking advantage of all the conveniences, he completed the promotion ceremony. It can be said that he was the profiteer in Ji Changge's reform.
This is also Ji Changge’s confidence in firmly advancing the New Deal.
If aristocratic families are ready to fight to the death and boycott the New Deal, by then, the imperial court may not have taken action, and the academy whose interests have been damaged may take action to deal with these troublemakers first.
Ji Changge's thoughts wandered for a moment, then he returned to reality: "You mean, the people involved in the case were deliberately retaliating?"
He is a smart man, so he can naturally hear the hidden meaning in Nangong's words.
"That's right." Nangong nodded, organized his words, and told Su Wen what he had discovered.
"Good guy..."
Nangong's words were concise, but they were enough for Ji Changge to know the cause of the matter.
"Cui Wenwen... If this person can extract three forbidden objects, the extraordinary power he accumulated during his lifetime can at least touch the threshold of the sub-sage."
Ji Changge commented on Cui Wenwen's extraordinary power. He was a military strategist and an emperor, so he naturally had excellent vision.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. It's a pity."
Nangong shook his head slightly.
Cui Wenwen spent his life in an ordinary way, and his cultivation stopped abruptly when he reached the level of a Confucian scholar. This shows that he did not actively seek opportunities to be promoted to a great Confucian scholar, and even took the initiative to extract the extraordinary power he had accumulated to prevent his own power from expanding. Such behavior
, whether from his or Ji Changge's point of view, it is incredible. Is there any reason why a transcendent would not want to become more powerful?
But thinking about it carefully, Cui Wenwen can understand Cui Wenwen's behavior. Cui Wenwen felt guilty for exposing the fraud and hurting many friends and fellow students. In fact, the knot in his heart has never been solved. He seems to be calm and graceful, but in fact
But he is in self-exile.
It was not until his death that he mustered up the courage to confess to his friends what had happened. He originally thought that his old friends would forgive him for what he had done, but he did not expect that he would lay the foundation for the family's troubles.
"This Cui Wenwen... is just too naive."
Ji Changge sneered: "I have read the books of sages for so many years in vain. I really don't understand how he came to be a Confucian scholar!"
After thinking about it, he thought of something: "Yes, after exposing the fraud in recruiting talents, he secretly corresponded to the Confucian promotion ritual behavior, so he easily reached the realm of Confucian scholars!"
"That's why he felt even more guilty, feeling that he had taken advantage of his friends to benefit himself." Nangong also sighed with emotion.
After sighing with emotion, Nangong quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have to deal with this matter. Please prepare an edict, otherwise the Wang family's deep compound and inner factory will not be accessible. It will be even harder to capture Wang Cizhi.
"
At this time, an eunuch came to the door, knelt on the ground and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the head of the Wang clan and the prince's young master Wang Huai sent people to the palace to announce his funeral. His father, the prince, passed away and passed away, and asked your majesty to give him a posthumous title."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Nangong's heartstrings vibrated.
Ji Changge's half-closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Is Wang Ci dead?"
Ji Changge couldn't believe his ears.
"Where is Wang Huai?" Ji Changge said calmly.
"Kneel at the palace gate. As a rule, ministers who have died are not allowed to enter the palace to meet the saint." The eunuch said quickly. He didn't understand why His Majesty reacted like this.
The Wang family is a big family, and when a big family member dies, they must promptly report to the emperor and seek a decent posthumous title and reward for the deceased. Wang Huai's reaction was quite satisfactory, but the eunuch was also confused. He had never heard that Wang Huai was still alive.
The old father is still alive. After all, Wang Huai is already over eighty years old. From the time when the eunuchs had impressions, they only knew that Wang Huai was the patriarch of the Wang family. However, they did not expect that Wang Huai's father was still alive and alive today.
"I know, tell the Internal History and the Ministry of Rites about this, and let them work out a posthumous title for Mr. Wang."
Ji Changge said calmly and looked at Nangong.
"Your Majesty...this guy, this guy wants to fake his death and escape!"
