Chapter 17: At your fingertips (Additional update for the leader of the alliance, I am a disciple!)
Chong Xuan Sheng was startled there.
Jiang Wang almost slipped his leg and stepped into the pool.
With his level of cultivation, he would never be able to control himself like this. It was just that Zhong Xuan Sheng's mind was spinning too fast!
He just started the conversation by talking about the Bei Ya Captain incident. Even before the conversation was over, Chong Xuan Sheng over there had almost pieced together the whole story of the Changsheng Palace incident.
This shows that he was quite sluggish when he was thinking hard in the Palace of Eternal Life.
He used one sentence to the left, another piece of information to the other, and two lines of sound transmission to figure out one, two, three, four...
"I told you to guess correctly." Jiang Wang didn't show any surprise, with a 'cowardly' expression on his face, and said calmly: "Lin Youxie judged that Feng Gu's death was suicide. She believed that Feng Gu's death was a suicide.
He chose to commit suicide in order to lead to the case of Concubine Lei."
"Suicide?" Zhongxuan Sheng thought for a while: "That makes sense..."
...what makes sense?
"What point are you referring to?" Jiang Wang analyzed it with him calmly.
"Who would be stupid enough to suppress the story after so many years? Who would be stupid enough to provoke the emperor at this time?" Chongxuan Sheng said: "I have been thinking about these questions for a long time!"
"What if Feng Gu has been secretly investigating for so many years and just now discovered the clues to that case?" Jiang Wang was a little unconvinced.
"The fact that Feng Gu died just after the funeral showed that everything was not a coincidence. Such an accurate time is enough to prove that his death must have been premeditated and not a temporary act." Chong Xuansheng glanced at Jiang
Take a look: "Whether it's suicide or homicide, since it was premeditated, how could it be 'just discovered'?"
Jiang Wang nodded seriously: "What you said makes sense."
Zhong Xuansheng ignored his nonsense and said with some annoyance: "When I saw Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie appearing at the same time, I should have thought of it. Even if Feng Gu's death was really a homicide, how could these two people come to investigate...
…You shouldn’t have been allowed to go!”
"Why can't it be these two people?" Jiang Wang habitually argued.
Chong Xuan Sheng angrily took a bite of the fruit: "One is asking for loyalty and the other is looking for the truth. No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't get involved in this kind of case. Unless this case just happens to satisfy them both... I am really in trouble with the bad chess player."
After playing chess for so long, I have lost even this sensitivity!"
"What a stinky chess basket?" Jiang Wang is very sensitive now.
"You're not a horse-faced king, hehe..." Zhong Xuansheng mumbled while eating the fruit, then asked: "Want one?"
"No." Jiang Wang had no intention of eating and walked around the pool: "Oh, by the way, before Feng Gu died, Lin Youxie also received a dissecting knife, which Lin Kuang used back then.
That’s why she found a way to get involved in this case.”
Zhong Xuansheng held the half-bitten fruit in his hand and paused: "That's it!"
Jiang Wang:?
How come this is so?
What, you are like this!
In the end, he just asked inexplicably: "Oh?"
It is recorded in "The Biography of Thousand Beauties of All Countries" that whenever Emperor Wu of Qi encountered complex situations such as competition for favor in the harem or beauties forcing their way into the palace, before he could figure out the situation, he would first ask... "Oh?"
In this way, he appears to be calm and unhurried, with a clear conscience. At the same time, he is invisibly taking control of the situation. He can also quietly extract information from the other party and find out the actual situation...
What a great idea!
Zhong Xuansheng didn't think too much and said casually: "I originally thought that Feng Gu's spirit was commendable and his intelligence was pitiful. Considering your mood, I didn't say it directly. Now that I think about it, he is not completely brainless."
"Oh?" Jiang Wang asked again.
Chong Xuansheng had long been trained to be patient by Jiang Wang, and he explained seriously: "The assassination of Concubine Lei was unsolved for historical reasons."
Jiang Wang nodded and reservedly motioned for him to continue speaking.
Chongxuan Sheng said: "In the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, Duke Loulan raised an army in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor personally conquered it. The battle was peaceful... Although the battle was peaceful, the aftermath lasted for ten years. The assassination of Concubine Lei took place during this period.
, another famous arrester Lin Kuang died in this case, causing uproar in the city... The emperor had no choice but to keep the situation stable and acquiesce in shelving the case indefinitely."
"Mr. Loulan?"
Jiang Wang was really curious. There was no duke in the Qi State, and he had never heard of Duke Loulan.
"Due to some historical reasons, our Da Qi does not have a hereditary Duke. In the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, there was only one Duke, Duke Loulan. In his early years, Duke Loulan joined His Majesty in conquering the north and south, conquering the city and destroying the country. His military achievements are shining brightly. His reputation is shining brightly.
Not inferior to the current God of War. His name has become taboo, you don’t know... let’s not talk about him for now.”
Chongxuan Sheng said: "In short, there was no result in the assassination of Concubine Lei that year. It was not that no result could be found. It was shelved due to political reasons. I think Feng Gu chose to pursue the old case at this time, and he also saw the emperor directly slashing it
Thanks to Yan Tu’s decisiveness, Da Qi is now qualified to withstand some turmoil.”
Jiang Wang frowned: "Pursuing the assassination of Concubine Lei will destabilize the country?"
"At least in the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng. Now..." Chongxuan Sheng said: "I think unless the God of War is the perpetrator, no one can shake the authority of the emperor."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Does this mean...the emperor knows who the murderer was who stabbed Concubine Lei to death?"
"Who knows? The emperor's heart is unpredictable." Chong Xuansheng said slowly: "But regardless of whether the emperor knew it or not, since there has been no result for so many years, the current emperor must not know. As for the current emperor
Whether you know... depends on whether you know how to be an official."
What Chong Xuan Sheng said was a bit awkward.
Jiang Wang only said
"oh?"
Chong Xuansheng had completely sorted out his thoughts, finished the fruits in his hands in two mouthfuls, and said in a relaxed tone: "First investigate, find out the truth of that year. If the emperor should know the truth, then report it to the political affairs hall. If the emperor knows the truth,
If you shouldn’t know, just report it to the emperor privately.”
He smiled: "Zheng Shi really has a vicious eye! Zheng Shangming is right. Seize this opportunity, and you will be the captain of Beiya!"
"What if it can't be found out?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Why can't it be found out?" Chong Xuansheng said: "As long as you agree to the conditions of Zheng Shi and his son, they will find a way to give you the truth. Even...not just them. Many people want to give you the truth.
"
"How to judge whether the emperor should know the truth?" Jiang Wang asked again.
"Isn't this simple? You just need to..." Zhong Xuansheng thought for a while, but probably still felt that it was not safe, so he changed his words: "Forget it, you can just ask me directly when the time comes, and Zheng Shi and his son will also help you with reference."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and grinned: "Everything is at my hand, I just need to stretch out my hand."
"Yes, you can just reach out." Zhong Xuansheng said meaningfully: "But only because you have such value, you have the opportunity to reach out. Because you shine in Xingyue Yuan, you are famous all over the world.
, because you have fought so many times and worked hard for so long... only now can you have glory and wealth at your fingertips."
His tone was serious: "You deserve this, Jiang Wang. Don't miss this opportunity."
