Outside the city gate, there was a gentle breeze, and yellow sand was flying in the wind, raising a layer of sand mist. Yan Qing rode a maroon horse and sat in the sand mist.
Gu Qiancheng sat in the carriage and did not go out.
Today, there were many people like her who came to see her off, but most of them sat in carriages and just watched from a distance, so as not to cause the sad farewell to the soldiers who were going forward.
Although the teenagers sitting on the horses could not see it, they knew that their families were there, waiting for them to return.
The young people who were passionate before now all had red eyes. No matter how violent they had been with their families before, at this time they only remembered the goodness of their families and wanted to say goodbye to them.
The young men on horseback, the oldest was only twenty, and the youngest was only sixteen. Seeing this scene, their eyes could not help but turn red, their voices were choked but they were speechless.
This is a farewell, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
This time we say goodbye, I wonder if we will see each other again.
Yan Qing knew that these young men were not firm-minded and if they continued like this, many of them might be shaken. He immediately said goodbye to the officials who saw him off and prepared to leave.
Once you leave, you can't come back, so it doesn't matter whether you want to leave or not.
"Drive!" Yan Qing was at the front and rode away.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back: he knew that the woman must be in the carriage. However, she was not here to see him off, but to see her brother off.
"Drive!" The young men behind him no longer hesitated and left one by one with their whips raised.
Goodbye, my parents!
Goodbye, my family!
Goodbye, my sister!
…
Cheng Huan was in the middle. He didn't look back. He kept looking firmly ahead. Even if there was someone behind him that he couldn't let go of, he still didn't look back.
He will not be shaken by anyone or anything. He will definitely achieve success and return home in glory!
The young people set off on their journey, and their relatives who came to see them off also left one by one. Gu Qiancheng was the last one to leave. It wasn't until Cheng Huan and the others were no longer visible, and not until everyone had left, that Gu Qiancheng asked to let the car go.
Drive back.
Chengyi left, Chenghuan left... There was no one in that home worthy of her nostalgia, and she didn't want to stay there anymore.
Returning to the city, Gu Qiancheng sighed softly when he saw the unfamiliar city guard at the city gate.
There are fewer and fewer things she is familiar with in the Imperial City.
His mood was low for no reason, and Gu Qiancheng didn't want to go home, so he sent someone directly to Liumenmen.
Cheng Huan has gone to the northwest, so she can concentrate on investigating the case of the missing pregnant woman.
In order to investigate the case of the missing pregnant woman, Qin Jiyan has been staying at Liumen for the past few days and has not been back to Prince Qin's Mansion for several days. After the emperor learned about this, he specially sent someone to care about him and told him not to be impatient.
If a case cannot be investigated, it will be shelved.
Seeing Gu Qiancheng come in, Qin Jiyan, no matter how busy he was, put down what he was doing and stood up to greet him: "Why are you here today? Isn't Chenghuan going to the northwest today?"
Although he was busy, Qin Jiyan remembered everything about Gu Qiancheng clearly and did not forget a single thing.
"We just sent him away." Gu Qiancheng was still a little sad about parting at this time. In order to divert his attention, he asked about the case: "Is there any progress?"
"Of course there is." After checking for so many days, if there is no progress at all, His Highness Qin will cry.
"Can you tell me?" Gu Qiancheng became interested and took Qin Jiyan to the desk, where they sat down across the desk.
"Take a look." Qin Jiyan did not hesitate and showed Gu Qiancheng a file. It recorded in detail the origin of the Zihe carts received by major drug dealers, as well as the number of Zihe carts.
, including the origin of the Zihe chariot brought to the palace.
"There are traces of these Zihe chariots. Most of them went into the palace, and only a small part stayed in the homes of powerful people." Qin Jiyan saw that Qin Jiyan had seen the same thing, so he explained to her.
"The price of Zihe cars is extraordinary. There are only a few Zihe cars in Beijing that can afford it. It is not difficult to check. The Zihe cars in their hands have good origins." In other words, those people concocted Zihe cars.
River carts are not for profit.
Gu Qiancheng put the case files together, looked at Qin Jiyan, and said, "Killing pregnant women to take placentas and make purple river carts is not for profit, then what is it for?"
"Longevity!" Qin Jiyan gave the answer, and this was exactly what Gu Qiancheng was thinking: "Yes, it's for longevity. They do Zihe Che for longevity. The reason why they don't wait for pregnant women to give birth is because they want to live forever.
Removing the placenta before a pregnant woman is about to give birth must be because they think the placenta will have the best effect at this time."
Qin Jiyan nodded: "I asked the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital, and they admitted this statement. Zihe Che has the effect of prolonging life. In order to study the effectiveness of Zihe Che, some people once took placentas from various stages and used them as medicine in order to achieve the best results.
Good results.”
Although it is possible to wait until the placenta naturally separates from the mother's body, it is possible to prepare a purple river car, but not everyone is willing to wait, or is willing to make do with a placenta that is not the best.
In order to increase the effect of the medicine, Yaowanggu can cut off Tang Wanjin's flesh, draw Tang Wanjin's blood, and cut Tang Wanjin's bones. Naturally, some people will do things to harm others in order to live forever.
"If the other party really wants immortality, this case will most likely have something to do with Yaowang Valley. Or the people in Yaowang Valley may know something." Gu Qiancheng didn't want to impose it randomly, but she had to say,
It was precisely because of Zino's appearance that the three female corpses were exposed.
Maybe these two things have nothing to do with each other, but there are not so many coincidences in the world.
"Let's go to the Medicine Garden." Gu Qiancheng said so. Qin Jiyan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Just in time, I also want to know what the relationship between Zino and Medicine King Valley is."
With Ji Nuo here, Qin Jiyan doesn't have to look for Jun Yian. To be honest, Qin Jiyan hates Jun Yian and is even more afraid of being entangled with her. He doesn't want to deal with Jun Yian at all.
"Let's go, we are all old acquaintances after all. Zino has been here for so long, we are waiting to say hello." If it weren't for Zino, how could Jun Yian show up.
Not to mention Zino's suspicious identity, Gu Qiancheng couldn't like him just because of this.
How much trouble has Jun Yian brought her?
In Yaoyuan, Ji Nuo was not surprised at all when he heard Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng come to visit.
"It's earlier than I expected. His Highness Qin is really capable." Zino didn't hide his arrogance without anyone else around.
Jun Yian's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Jiyan's arrival, and then he pretended to be disdainful and said: "Senior brother, you have left him so many clues. If he still can't find it, he is too incompetent."
"Be careful, don't show off your mistakes. Although we in Yaowang Valley are not afraid of trouble, we don't want to offend those old immortals." Ji Nuo was afraid that Jun Yian would be confused by Qin Jiyan, so he warned him.
.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I know how to do it." Jun Yian was full of confidence, but as soon as the two of them went out, they realized that they really thought too much...
