Thinking of these, mist gradually filled his dark eyes.
Although the fog surrounding her became thicker and thicker, everything was as she said before. He believed that the moment when the fog was darkest would be the beginning of the fog dissipating.
At least, everything is not traceable, and there is always a clue to help him clear the fog.
The clue was small, but he could afford to wait.
Yu Qiansi took the brand back into his arms and smiled nonchalantly: "His ability is indeed worthy of this brand."
In his words, he actually expressed some recognition of Yu Qianshan's ability.
Then he looked back at Boyi calmly, as if he had seen through what he was thinking.
"No need to guess, the rumors are true. I have indeed been sponsored by Du Ruozhai. When the Yuli Pavilion was first built, for the sake of convenience, I occasionally carried that brand a few times. I think it was noticed by someone who was interested."
When Boyi saw her indifferent expression, his throat, which had just been relieved for a moment, felt a dull pain again.
She must have known the consequences of joining the Punishment Division, and she showed a look of not caring about her reputation, but she still carefully put away the Du Ruozhai sign that had helped her. It was clear that with this sign, she would get more preferential treatment from the world.
, but worried that he would drag down other people under Du Ruozhai's care.
While he was taking the medicine, Yu Qiansi picked up a pair of small tweezers, picked up the letter he had just put aside, and shook it a few times in the curling smoke.
"This smoke?..." After finishing a bowl of medicine, Boyi noticed the incense burner next to him.
"The special incense made by the Yu family can remove toxins and purify the mind."
Although I don’t know what method the medical ladies used to detoxify Boyi, the follow-up care cannot be neglected. After all, there is nothing wrong with clearing the lung meridian.
After smoking the paper, she carefully opened the paper, which had been soaked in water and air-dried. It was already a little brittle.
The handwriting on the ink book was more or less blurred, leaving circles of light or heavy traces of decadence through the back of the paper.
After a long while, he handed the paper to Boyi.
After reading it, Boyi sighed softly: "Although it is written to the people who bought Huanyan, it tells how this thing works, but it is not very detailed."
Not many clues.
Yu Qiansi doesn't think so: "It says that using the phantom face requires a drop of the blood of the person being replaced. But even so, the face will not be exactly the same, it will just be roughly similar."
This is very important.
This can explain why the people who were replaced by Queen Mingde and left the palace were all living in isolation and were not taken seriously by the various governments.
She nudged it gently, and Boyi suddenly realized.
To use Huanyan, two conditions must be met.
First, the person's blood must be replaced; second, the person must be someone who is not easily noticed in daily activities.
The group of old people in the palace ten years ago naturally replaced each other so as not to arouse suspicion.
But in this case of the Ministry of War, where did the replaced person go? Did he obey voluntarily, or was he forced to donate blood? No matter which point, it is a clue that can be traced.
The corner of his mouth curled up, this trip to Yunzhong City was not in vain after all.
But when he thought of the mysterious man who was dying of consciousness last night, he still felt uneasy.
Why does that man keep emphasizing his identity as Wuyawei?
"You...what do you think about Yun Zhongjun?"
Seeing that Yu Qiansi was silent in reply, he couldn't help but feel nervous: "He is the master of the ghost market from above, but he used such a sneaky method to let us leave. No matter how he looks at it, he is deliberately trying to sell it to you. That's the case.
, why do you care so much about your official status? You should be cautious, I am worried that there is fraud..."
Yu Qiansi recalled Boyi's nervousness when the mysterious man had something to say last night. After thinking about it, he truthfully told Boyi the whole story of meeting those medical women last night.
"I heard that although Mr. Yun Zhong is the master of the ghost market in name, he has never interfered with the operation of the ghost market for thousands of years. That's why he used this roundabout way to help us, but it doesn't count as a good sale.
.Especially after listening to those medical women..."
In fact, I have firmly decided to go and meet Yun Zhongjun.
Boyi naturally knew that he could not persuade Yu Qiansi, but secretly made up his mind to accompany her secretly to prevent her from encountering danger.
But I always felt that something was not quite right about the conversation between the two of them just now.
He tilted his head slightly and sipped the food for a long time, feeling refreshed, and then infinite joy surged up. Suddenly, it was like a bright candle in the sky, making people feel a new sense of warmth.
"You...why did you tell me so much just now?"
Regardless of Du Ruozhai's past or his experiences in Yunzhong City, in the past, Yu Qiansi would never have told him the truth.
In Boyi's eager eyes, she felt a little embarrassed and stared at the smoke between the two of them for a long time.
Piao Ran said: "If I hadn't told you anything, you wouldn't have been poisoned by it. You followed me through life and death, so naturally I should be honest with you."
The flame of joy in Boyi's eyes quickly extinguished: "You know, I didn't mean what I said at that time."
"Bo Yi, eating rats from the river, all I want is a full belly. I just want the people around me to be at peace, and don't want any inexplicable disasters to happen because of me. Do you understand?"
Why didn't he understand? The smile at the corner of his mouth was still there, but it seemed like the green pine had faded.
Seeing that she cared so much about her mother, he wanted to push her away cruelly, pretending to be cold-hearted.
He thought that this life-and-death friendship would open up her guard a little, but unexpectedly, it made her even more cautious.
However, this is a good start.
At least she was willing to say these heart-to-heart words to herself.
One day, he will know whether it is the past of the Yu family or the case related to the bead.
"Master Jade, my Master Jade——"
Shang Fu drawled his voice, carrying a corner of his robe, taking small steps to avoid the wind, and jumped into the house.
Sui Feng behind him looked annoyed: "Sir, I can't stop you..."
"No problem," she motioned Shang Fu to sit down: "Master Shaoqing, is there any progress here?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Jade, you are so awesome!"
According to her instructions, Dali Temple continued to follow the deputy general's lead. Without any effort, he discovered that the deputy general who left a blood letter had a great background in the peak before he was transferred to the capital.
"It is General Xiang who is stationed in the northeast. When envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty enter Beijing, they are personally accompanied by General Xiang."
Before the Qi State conquered Xidan, its sphere of influence had always been eastward, and Xiang Jiajun had many encounters with them. Although they came under the command, they did not like to make peace with them.
Pointing out the direction so easily? Yu Qiansi, who was checking Boyi's pulse, chuckled. It was not that she was powerful, but that the murderer wanted her to think so.
But could this be the murderer’s ultimate goal? To blame a military general from the northeastern border?
When Boyi saw this, he explained her confusion and said: "You don't know something. General Xiang's wife and children were harmed by the Northern Qi people using unscrupulous methods. Therefore, he determined to kill all the Northern Qi people. This time he took the initiative to take him to Beijing.
I am afraid that I am doing this errand to express my love to the Holy Spirit."
Only then did Shang Fu notice that something was wrong with Boyi's voice, and looked over in surprise.
"I heard that you were injured, why is your voice like this? Is it because it hurts so much that you become dumb?"
Boyi raised his low eyebrows and caught a glimpse of Yu Qiansi listening attentively, and then he suppressed the angry words that almost blurted out.
Continuing back to the topic: "The most important thing is that although he is over 150 years old, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He is quite successful in marching. The stability of the Northeast is mostly due to his Xiang Jiajun."
After the war ten years ago, most of the prosperous military generals' families were abandoned on the battlefield, and their numbers were withered. The peace gained from the tragic war has corroded the fighting spirit of most people. Now that the country is in peace, the imperial court has launched an imperial examination, and people from poor families have
Now that there is a promising future, few people are willing to go to war generously, and now the border is in a lean state.
Although Boyi was in the northwest, he felt deeply about this situation.
Today's ambitious young generals lack actual combat experience, and there are not many experienced veterans left, which is really worrying.
When Shang Fu heard this, he became a little more worried: "I heard that he will go to the palace today to meet the saint. Since he is so active in the battle, and his subordinates are causing these things, will Your Majesty be in danger...
....”
Boyi couldn't help but give him a helpless look: "What can he do if he enters the palace alone?"
"That's not necessarily true! I found out that he brought a lieutenant and a counselor with him this time! Maybe he really has some dangerous ideas!"
Although it was because General Xiang was injured on the battlefield in his early years, the saint authorized him to bring a few close servants back to the capital. But it always seemed strange to bring a counselor.
Boyi, however, did not take it seriously and sneered: "It is essential to be on guard against others." When military generals enter the capital, they always have a narrow escape. If he were in this situation, he would also want more protection.
Yu Qiansi stood up and stood by the window, with his back to the two people in the room, and thought for a long time with his eyes closed.
When military generals and envoys go to Beijing, although the army is drawn from other places, they have to take a lieutenant and counselor with them...
Boyi and Shang Fu didn't know what she was thinking, they only heard the sound of Yuli Qiankun, which seemed to be nothing.
After a long while, her faint voice fell into the house along with the chirping of birds outside the window: "When will he leave Beijing?"
Shang Fu thought "Hmm" for a long time, feeling a little unsure: "A border general naturally hopes to leave as soon as possible..."
Even if the saint is not in charge, the people who support the army will definitely be afraid of returning to the capital, let alone in such troubled times now.
"Lord Shaoqing, could you please go into the palace and find a way to detain this general while I go to meet the others."
The person behind the scenes points out the path, and you have to walk it yourself to see what his purpose is.
As expected, Yu Qiansi and his party were stopped outside the general's residence.
A frail middle-aged man wearing a Confucian scarf, thin but determined, blocked the door of the Criminal Division.
"Mr. Lin, we are just conducting a routine inspection. We naturally know that the general will not be so reckless about the lives of his subordinates, but we must give an explanation to outsiders."
He glared at Yao Guang, who was holding his fists politely at the foot of the stairs, and didn't appreciate it.
"Lin is very familiar with the calculations in the court, and he is used to calling black things into white. If I ask you to investigate, I am afraid that even those who don't have them will be slandered. The crime of fraud is not the most common use of Mr. Yu, who is responsible for the punishment department.
Means?"
It was clear that he was threatening Ma to join the army when discussing the guillotine case, causing him to make a huge mistake.
