Chapter 398 Ye Jianzhong is going to be the backstage, with horses and guns and pawns
In the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, everything was as usual. People from Huanhai came and took a look around, but no one knew about it.
Of course Qin Yang doesn't know either...
No matter how vigilant he was, he never expected that in Jixiang Street, and when Jian Tianxiao was still there, someone would dare to impersonate his identity and do something in the Hidden Xiang Pavilion.
He would never have thought that after talking to him so much, he would also be warned about Huan Hai's bastard Tianxiao...
It's not even a human being at all, it's just an illusion transformed by Huan Hai's secret magic.
Similarly, people from the Huanhai clan would never think of anything...
Let alone Tianxiao, who came to ask Hai Guanlan if he killed him, it would be useless even if his own mother came. No matter who came, the same thing would happen, and it was impossible to say that he had seen Hai Guanlan even if he was talking in his sleep!
Who is Hai Guanlan? This is the first time I heard this name. I, Ji Wudao, have never seen the person you mentioned before, let alone such a powerful physical opponent.
I don’t know what happened. Anyway, I didn’t kill the person.
Maybe there is a slight possibility that some public-minded and righteous man happened to be passing by, so when he saw the injustice, he drew his sword to help, and took out the Haoyang Bell with an unknown name, which shocked Hai Guanlan to death and failed to do good things.
Leave your name and disappear into the vast sea of people.
Ever since, the first time Qin Yang came into contact with the Huanhai clan, without him even realizing it, he had somehow distanced themselves from the relationship, and then conveniently made the other party think about it, and he didn't know where the association went.
Qin Yang collected Hai Guanlan's body just because he was used to it...
They contributed a purple skill book, but not a coffin. Did you find a chance to find a place to bury them...
If they were in the wilderness at that time, even those dead soldiers would have been buried by Qin Yang.
It's a pity that he couldn't help doing this anymore. After coming back, he always felt uncomfortable and felt that something was missing.
But when it comes to others, who can think of the real reason?
Hai Guanlan's body was gone, and all traces were gone. He disappeared completely, as if he had never appeared before. But he just happened to be dead. How and where he died is still unclear.
Everyone has everyone’s ideas…
In Lidu at night, some places were shrouded in divine light, and some places were as if covered with a layer of black veil, dotted with stars. The handsome young master of the Huanhai clan drove his chariot through the dark night and came to Duke Xianguo.
near the mansion.
The patrolling city guards passed by the drivers, but no one took a second look in this direction.
The sound of the jade chariot approaching and the fluctuation of spiritual power, although covered, are not perfectly hidden.
Even the palace lantern held by the person leading the team cast the shadow of the jade chariot, standing there brightly.
They still didn't respond.
Young Master Jun walked out of the jade chariot, glanced sideways at the city guards, and looked at the residence of Duke Xianguo in front of him.
This is the strongest point of the Huanhai clan's illusion skills. It only creates an illusion that can be seen by people. It is only the entry level of a direct lineage of the Huanhai clan.
The real master of the direct lineage of the Huanhai family is to let you see, let you hear, and let you feel. Your consciousness and everything about you will also tell you that you saw nothing and heard nothing.
.
Let yourself deceive yourself. This is the main reason why the Huanhai clan can gain a foothold in the Great Ying Dynasty with only illusions, and no one even wants to provoke them at will.
There was nothing to gain in Zangxiang Pavilion, so Master Jun naturally came to Duke Xian to investigate.
When he reached the gate of Duke Xian's residence, Mr. Jun paused slightly in his steps. Looking at the pair of bunks hanging above the gate, his slender eyes narrowed slightly.
The head of the pavement is red copper. According to the regulations, the head of the pavement in front of the door of the Duke of Xian is the ring of Chi's head. There is nothing special about it.
However, at this moment, in Young Master Jun's eyes, Chi's head twisted slightly, turning into a pair of misty eyes with double pupils, staring at Young Master Jun.
"Back then, there was a fantasy beast in the fantasy sea as a tribute to the emperor. I didn't expect that it would eventually fall into the hands of Duke Xianguo. What? Today I want to enter Duke Xianguo's mansion, and you want to stop me? Or maybe you can give Duke Xianguo a warning.
What?"
"If the young master dissipates the illusion and visits you normally, I will never stop you. It is your duty at this moment. If the young master takes a step forward, I will not dare to offend the young master. I can only give a warning." The pavilion above the gate spat.
People speak, their posture is very low, but their tone is very firm.
Young Master Jun squinted his eyes, thought for a moment and then said.
"If I kill you, and others know that a person from Huanhai has turned against Huanhai, I'm afraid he will become a laughing stock. I won't embarrass you. You happen to be here, and if the Duke Xianguo Mansion responds to the matter, I'm afraid
Not much can escape your eyes. I just want to ask you some questions. If you answer them truthfully, I will turn around and leave."
"Young man guarding the door is your duty. Thank you for your understanding. In addition, if the young master has any questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Pushou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
"Has Guanlan been sent out by Duke Xian to do dirty work?"
"Mr. Guanlan is very talented in physical training. He is about to pass the test. It is time to accumulate knowledge. When he is transitioning from movement to stillness, Duke Xian will act as a guarantor and let him stay in Lidu to practice. Before that, Lord Duke did have something entrusted to him.
To Mr. Guanlan, I don’t know what it is exactly.”
Young Master Jun did not speak, he just raised his head and glanced at Duke Xianguo's mansion again, turned around and left.
Guanlan is a direct descendant of the Huanhai clan. Even if he is expelled from the Huanhai clan, he still cannot die. At this moment, Young Master Jun feels more and more that someone is deliberately dragging the Huanhai clan into the quagmire to drive away the tigers and wolves.
Before understanding this, the Huanhai clan must not take action casually and be used as a gunman.
He didn't want to know more about the rest of the matter. At this moment, it was enough to confirm that Hai Guanlan was indeed sent by Duke Xian.
I have checked it before, and there is no business trip, no overseas assignment, and no record.
Somehow Duke Xian Guo persuaded Hai Guanlan to let the Huanhai clan die in some shameful matter. Now that people are dead, the first person to be accounted for is naturally Duke Xian.
Mr. Jun did not go for a head-on confrontation, but left for the time being and waited for things to develop.
…
At Duke Xianguo's Mansion, after day and night, Duke Xianguo still did not go to practice or rest, and was still discussing matters with his staff.
"Everyone, the matter has already happened. It is useless to worry about what went wrong. We can no longer deal with Ji Wudao in Lidu. He is just alone. Wuxingshan has no intention of intervening, and that person is not included.
Cheap Tianxiao who does serious business can't accomplish anything.
What is worth noting is who sent the dead soldiers and who was behind it to add fuel to the flames. Who in Lidu wants to kill me? This person must be found out as soon as possible!"
Duke Xianguo had a sullen face and a cold glint in his eyes. If he had just been accused, he had nothing to worry about. Even though the evidence was irrefutable and everyone knew it, if no one from the government took action to deal with him, a mere rural cultivator could only
Can you sue a duke with just a piece of complaint?
What a joke.
If someone takes action and turns this spark into a prairie fire, that will be a big problem.
"Sir, Marquis Chentian has been executed for several years. His other incarnation has still not been found out. This incarnation is not a person in the court, but with the power of Marquis Chentian back then, the incarnation may not have power in the court...
..." A staff member gave a guess.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't deny that the late Marquis Chentian was the only one who had such a big hatred against Duke Xian in recent years.
"Sir, the emperor himself has not appeared for many years, and those princes have already had some ideas. Could it be that they secretly wanted to bring down the master and cut off a large arm of the East Palace?"
Some people also speculated from another angle. If this is involved, even if there is no hatred, they may seize the opportunity and take action against him.
But it is impossible to determine who it is, there are too many suspects...
Many staff members gave many guesses, and no one had a definite possibility.
At this moment, behind Duke Xianguo, Mu Ruxin, who was wearing a black undershirt, slowly spoke.
"Instead of making many speculations, it is better to solve the current matter first, because the interception and killing incident in front of the Punishment Department offended Lord Ye, the Minister of Punishment, so much so that Lord Ye revealed the news to Huan Hai. Hai Guanlan died because of his secret dispatch. According to Huan Hai,
With Hai's acting style, we haven't seen any movement so far, but secretly, I'm afraid something has already been done, so you must first appease the Huan Hai clan before talking about anything else."
"The letter has been sent, but the people who are going can't find Huanhai or the people of Huanhai at all. I also want to shake hands and talk with the Huanhai clan first, but after so many years, they have closed Huanhai
, has not appeared for many years, and there is no response this time. It is impossible to say that the Huanhai clan is already weak and does not want to participate."
Duke Xian sighed secretly. He promoted Hai Guanlan at that time, of course, with the intention of making friends with the Huanhai clan. He once heard Hai Guanlan mention vaguely once that the Huanhai clan had inherited the talent, and the number of people was becoming increasingly thin.
, that’s why the Fantasy Sea was closed and no longer appeared in the public eye.
This time, an abandoned child died, but no reaction was seen. It is impossible to say that Huan Hai's situation has become even worse, and he no longer wants to get involved in outside affairs.
"Sir, if the Huanhai clan did not appear, you should lower your posture first and explain it to Master Ye. As for whether you believe it or not, you have to have a posture. This time, Master Ye is also unusually angry. If it happens later,
During the joint trial of the three departments, Mr. Ye just dealt with it impartially, which made it worse for you."
"That's right. This time the misunderstanding is serious. As an official, Ye Jianzhong never supports anyone with a clear stand, and he never offends people. If he is abused this time, the gain will outweigh the loss." Duke Xian nodded, and then looked around.
Weekly: "No matter what method you use, you must find out for me who is behind it this time!"
Mu Ruxin nodded slightly, her lips slightly raised under the veil, her hands folded on her abdomen, and she quietly retreated behind Duke Xianguo.
…
In the office of the Ministry of Justice, Ye Jianzhong, with a slight smile on his face, stretched out his hand to guide someone, and watched someone leave.
Back in the back hall, looking at the handwritten letter in his hand, Ye Jianzhong shook his hand and read the contents of the letter.
Duke Xian spoke sincerely and lowered his posture a lot. He explained what happened before and said frankly that he really wanted to do it, but unfortunately someone took action first. He was not the one who sent the dead soldiers, nor was he the one who killed him.
He framed people from the Criminal Department.
Ye Jianzhong smiled brightly and threw the letter on the table.
No one knew better than him that he was the one who sent the dead soldiers. He used people and materials without concealment. This was the best way to avoid suspicion. Hai Guanlan was indeed entrusted by Duke Xian.
But he also accepted his order.
"Gong Xian, Duke Xian, don't blame me. Your time has come. It's destiny. I'm just sending you on your way."
Ye Jianzhong looked up at the door and shouted loudly.
"Come here, go to Jixiang Street and tell Mr. Ji that a meeting of the three divisions is about to take place. There are some things in the petition that are not very clear and are not in compliance with the regulations. I would like Mr. Ji to take some hard work and come to the office of the Ministry of Justice."
…
In Zangxiang Pavilion, Qin Yang was bored. He listened to Jian Tianxiao talking about things outside every day. When Jian Tianxiao was busy, he would also chat with some idle girls and listen to them talk about various gossips.
All kinds of news in Lidu, ranging from grievances and grievances in temples to the gossips of rich and powerful men, all kinds of messy news can be found in Jixiang Street.
Qin Yang has been here for only a few days and has already benefited a lot. He has learned a lot of information that would have been unavailable in serious intelligence.
He even had the idea that Qian Tianxiao happened to be here, and Chen Pi could come here to have a good time. At least it would save a lot of the opening process and a lot of difficulties.
While he was listening to a girl who was always thinking about his stalwart body, talking about the complicated marriage relationship between several important officials, someone came to see him.
The people from the Ministry of Punishment summoned him for a legitimate reason, so Qin Yang had no reason not to go.
He also wanted to know what medicine Ye Jianzhong was selling in this gourd.
When we arrived at the Criminal Department, we did not go to the main hall, but were led to the back hall. Ye Jianzhong had already made tea and was pouring it. The time was just right.
"I've met Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ji, please sit down. Today is not a normal meeting. There are just some details that I need to ask Mr. Ji. There is no need to be restrained."
Qin Yang stopped being polite. When he was about to sit down, he glanced at the piece of paper casually thrown on the table. The content on it was clear at a glance.
Qin Yang remained calm. After sitting down, Ye Jianzhong actually took out the complaint. After communicating with Qin Yang, he corrected several minor issues and some unclear areas.
After the changes were completed, Ye Jianzhong received the indictment and seemed much more relaxed on his face.
"It stands to reason that after the complaint is submitted, it must be sealed by the Ministry of Justice and will be brought out when the three divisions are jointly interrogated. But success or failure depends on the details. If it is not clear at all, it may bring variables to the judgment. Therefore, today I can only ask Mr. Ji.
Just took a trip."
"Master Ye is strict and meticulous in his work, I admire him."
"Young Master Ji is ridiculous. You are just doing your duty faithfully." Ye Jianzhong shook his head. After a pause, he raised his head and continued: "I will tell you the truth in private. I am in charge of the Criminal Department and I have always enforced the law impartially.
I have never shown any favoritism. Even if I am framed to ambush Mr. Ji this time, and a duke is involved, I will definitely deal with it impartially and without any favoritism."
"It is my highest expectation that your Excellency can handle this matter impartially."
After coming out of the Criminal Department, Qin Yang murmured secretly in his heart.
Just now, he didn't see any flaws. Even when he spoke, it sounded like high-sounding official language.
But Qin Yang understood clearly, and the translation of those words was: I am cooperating with you, I am helping you to sacrifice the Duke to death.
What Xianguo Gong did is naturally true. The so-called impartial handling means that the crime must be confirmed.
If he hadn't known the inside story before, Qin Yang would have almost believed that Ye Jianzhong was an upright man with a righteous heart. He would not hesitate to offend the Duke, or even offend the East Palace, to help him win the case this time.
After thinking about it again, Qin Yang almost jumped out of anger. What does Ye Jianzhong mean by this old silver coin?
Doesn't this mean that he should be used as a vanguard to kill Duke Xian without letting his mouth slip? He has the full support of Ye Jianzhong behind him.
Thinking back at this time, I figured out that Ye Jianzhong had played a trick and tricked himself just to have a grudge with Duke Xian in the eyes of everyone. Afterwards, he would deal with it impartially and impartially, so no one would think it was strange.
.
Even if this time he took down Duke Xian with a clear stand, no one would think that he was any different from Ye Jianzhong in the past.
Everyone will only think that there is something wrong with Duke Xian's brain. Why are you trying to frame Ye Jianzhong? If you want to kill people, you can't kill them where and who you can't frame.
Ye Jianzhong has even thought about his own escape route.
Qin Yang returned to the Cangxiang Pavilion and sat alone in the room, thinking for a long time.
I increasingly felt that my visit this time may have caused greater changes than expected. It was not the firecrackers of Duke Xian that were ignited, but maybe the firecrackers warehouse was ignited.
It's been a few days, and whether it's the rumors from outside or the news from Jian Tianxiao, it seems that they are not good for Duke Xian.
Moreover, Duke Xian himself is still kept in the dark and instead wrote to Ye Jianzhong to explain.
The fact that Duke Xianguo dared to do this proved that he had no suspicion that Ye Jianzhong was cheating him.
And Ye Jianzhong let himself see this letter, just to confuse the public and make him think that there are others who want to harm him, or to strengthen his determination to overthrow Duke Xian, it is best to risk his life like a mad dog
Charge into battle.
With such a person who no one would think twice about dealing with Duke Xian, Qin Yang didn't think that Duke Xian had any hope of getting through this disaster safely this time.
While Qin Yang was thinking about it blindly, Shi Tianxiao pushed the door open and walked in.
"Brother Ji, people from the Huanhai clan are here."
"Huh? Have you been here? When?"
"Hey, people from the Huanhai clan still don't understand me. They don't dare to use illusions on me directly. They think I'm hungry and don't choose food. This is a big mistake. I also have taste. Others don't know it. I like water drops and peaches.
, very fraternal, but I don’t like bird’s beaks, I have never touched them…”
What Jian Tianxiao said was unclear. Qin Yang had no idea what he was talking about, and he didn't know how he found out that the Huanhai clan's people were coming.
But Qin Yang thought that it was closed when Jian Tianxiao left yesterday.
"Around noon yesterday, did you come and tell me about the Huan Hai clan?"
"No!"
Having said this, both of them were absolutely sure that people from the Huanhai clan had arrived.
Qin Yang's hair was on fire. He never expected that the Huanhai clan's people had such deep tricks. Fortunately, he was always vigilant.
A new situation emerged, and Qin Yang felt it was time to think about what to do next.
Xian Guogong, Ye Jianzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Huan Haishi.
This person is either a car, a cannon, or a horse that doesn't follow the usual path.
He is the only pawn who has not yet crossed the river.
If Duke Xian was killed smoothly, then Ye Jianzhong, who had already taken action before and wanted to kill him casually, would most likely kill himself afterwards.
With this person's insidiousness and caution, he might not care if Qin Yang knew the inside story. He was just trying to eliminate the possibility of Qin Yang knowing the inside story and holding a grudge. Only the dead are the safest.
The situation is very unfavorable to me, and I can't just focus on the present.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Yang found a solution.
But the problem is, the vest doesn’t seem to be enough…
How to send a letter to Duke Xian to make him believe that the previous ambush was directed and acted by Ye Jianzhong...
