She is the only remaining descendant of the four major Qingpai families.
The four famous Qingpai families were once the earliest core of the Qingpai system. They flew across the Eastern Region with Qingpai, hunting down lawbreakers, and capturing all thieves, and their fame spread far and wide!
Today, the Inspection Office of the Capital City is the absolute core of the Qingpai system. The captain of Beiya was personally ordered by the emperor to take charge of the counties to catch the heads. Every word and deed truly represents the will of the entire Qingpai system. It is not high.
His official rank became the core of power in Linzi City.
Lin, Li, Wu and Cheng, these four glorious surnames have been eclipsed in the torrent of history.
The only remaining strong men in the divine realm, Uriel and Li Yougui, died one after another.
If the former dies, he will still have honor to make up for it; if the latter dies, he will be punished and beheaded.
The last afterglow of the Qingpai family disappeared with it.
As the orphan of the famous arrester Lin Kuang, Lin Youxie also chose to leave Qi after Feng Gu's case and went to the Sanxing Palace for further study.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but think too much about her loss of contact.
So why did he come to Beiya in person, and why did he look into Zheng Shangming's eyes.
Of course he understood that with the current situation of Emperor Qi, he could completely tolerate Lin Youxie who abandoned the country. Even if the descendant of the Qingpai family was guilty, he already deeply hated Qi Ting and believed that the Jiang Dynasty had betrayed Qing.
Even Lin Youxie, the only remaining descendant of the Qingpai family, has a high chance of becoming a weapon of public opinion in other countries.
Since Emperor Qi has given Lin Kuang and Wu Lie honorable names, he will not do anything to Lin Youxie anymore. He is the son of Qingshan, and he will not be entangled in the ruthlessness of these corners.
But Jiang Wang had no confidence in the Queen of Daqi.
After all, he was a big shot who dared to commit murder under the eyes of the emperor and wipe out all clues about the past. After all, she could do it and throw the body of a father in front of his young daughter.
Whether it is decisive or ruthless, what Jiang Wang thinks in his heart is that he is not like the mother of the country.
Of course, it is unusual for the current empress to be able to secure her position as the head of the harem in the Da Qi court. She has stood firm for many years, gained the respect of the emperor, and is highly respected by both the government and the public.
What Jiang Wang saw and observed was just the tip of the iceberg.
It was just this corner that made him feel cold...
Zheng Shangming quickly made tracing Lin Youxie's whereabouts a top priority for the inspection office. Among the many disappearance cases, it was given the highest priority.
Then he said to Jiang Wang: "Go sit in my room and talk about this matter in detail."
Judging from Zheng Shangming's performance, he should be unaware of Lin Youxie's disappearance, and he even had some uneasy speculations.
But the Qingpai police officers are all very observant, and Zheng Shangming is from a family background. Jiang Wang is not sure of his judgment.
So he just said calmly: "Okay."
The two quickly left the Beiya Hall and came to Zheng Shangming's independent office room.
The room layout is very simple.
A scroll of portraits of the magical beast Haechi is hung on the front wall, with vivid brushstrokes and majestic aura.
In front of this huge portrait is a desk filled with files. In the sixteen-foot-square room, there are only two chairs, one in front of the desk and one behind the desk.
The wall on the right side of the desk is completely blank, while the wall on the left is covered with various drawings. Some of them depict people, and some depict crime scenes, all of which are detailed and realistic, as if they were there.
Speaking of painters, there are also biases in the world's prominent schools. For example, painters from the Taoist and Confucian schools mostly focus on freehand brushwork. The painters of the Art of War and Mo style pay more attention to realism. The Buddhist painters do not have a fixed impression, and they paint all kinds of things.
There are all.
Of course, this is not absolute, but the mainstream style is roughly the same.
Bai Gexiao, the dean of Qingya Academy, painted a long scroll called "A River Comes into the Brightness of Thousand Flowers for the First Time". Thousands of flowers are different and each shows their beauty. It is still regarded as the pinnacle work of realistic style.
But the painters of Qingya Academy have always been able to express their feelings to everyone.
Let’s talk back to Zheng Shangming.
His painting skills are quite average, not good or bad. At least Mr. Jiang can't appreciate the reason. He can only see the care in each stroke, and there are also pieces of paper stuck to the corners of the painting, which are full of words.
Comment.
The effort he put into handling the case is very clearly reflected in these tangible details.
Zheng Shangming closed the doors and windows, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."
He strode to the desk and packed up the files quickly. He divided them into categories and organized them carefully.
It's hard to imagine that he once hated Qingpai's job so much.
Now he sat down in front of the long desk. After gathering all the files, there was an undisguised heaviness in his eyebrows. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Brother Jiang, when was the last time you saw Lin Youxie?"
when?"
"At the beginning of May, in Lushuang County." Jiang Wang said clearly: "At that time, she said that she was going to Sanxing Palace for further study. After that, she never contacted her again. Until a while ago, when I came back from my mission to the grassland, I wrote to
I went to Sanxing Palace and asked her some questions. As a result, the letter was returned intact, saying that this person was not found."
"Is there any misunderstanding at Sanxing Palace? I mean, is it possible that she is studying in some important place, or that ordinary Sanxing Palace disciples don't know that she went to Sanxing Palace?" Zheng Shangming continued to ask.
road.
"Probably not. But I have asked someone to confirm it again," Jiang Wang said.
Zheng Shangming said: "Okay. I will mobilize the best Qingpai to trace the whereabouts, and I will also focus on searching from Lushuang County. The intelligence network of the Qingpai system will not be retained. But you still need to be mentally prepared. Time has passed so much.
For a long time, it is difficult to trace the traces in Lushuang County. This is probably a long-term process..."
Jiang Wang just said: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Zheng Shangming waved his hand and stopped talking.
Jiang Wangdao: "Brother Shang Ming, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."
Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment, and then said: "If..."
After hesitating for a while, he continued: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do?"
He didn't say "what if", but both parties understood.
After all, the death case of the chief eunuch Feng Gu Shen that was launched in Changsheng Palace was an investigation started by the two of them and Lin Youxie.
They were all well aware of all the changes that had occurred during this period. They were sure of the important clues in the case. It was also in this case that they confirmed that they were different and could not become close friends.
That huge shadow never shrouded only Lin Youxie.
It's just that some people die, some stay silent, and some do what they can.
'If Lin Youxie is really killed by the current queen, just like her dead father and dead grandfather Ulie, have you ever thought about what you would do?'
This is the question that Zheng Shangming failed to really ask.
This issue is too serious and too serious.
So Jiang Wang thought seriously for a moment and then said slowly: "Before the result is confirmed, I don't know what I will do."
He may have another answer in mind, but he doesn't need to tell Zheng Shangming, and he won't tell Zheng Shangming either.
But even this answer still silenced Zheng Shangming.
Faced with such a terrifying and huge shadow, how can your answer be "I don't know"?
I don’t know, which means there is still a huge possibility of impulsiveness.
However, in the face of such an existence, how can you be impulsive? If the emperor is the sky and the sun, then the queen is the moon and the sky, and the rest are just stars, no matter how dazzling they are. You are the youngest military meritorious prince in Qi State, how can you
how?!
But Zheng Shangming also understood.
This is where Jiang Wang differs from him.
So he remained silent.
After a long time, he managed to calm down: "I don't think so. We just can't get in touch now. There are too many possibilities in this matter, and I don't think we will encounter the worst possibility so easily.
"
Jiang Wangdao: "Yes. Maybe she was just tired of Qi State and wanted to alienate me as an old friend, so she wandered around the world in silence. This is not something difficult to understand."
"This is very likely." Zheng Shangming also tried to make his tone more relaxed: "The Lin Captou I know is the kind of person who doesn't show it on the outside, but has great ideas in his heart. Maybe he will travel far away and make a name for himself in the world.
And practice the law.”
People with green cards hanging around their waists are really not suitable for making optimistic guesses, because they often start from the worst-case scenario.
The two of them were silent for a moment.
"Shang Ming." Jiang Wanghu said authentically.
"Say." Zheng Shangming looked at him.
Jiang Wang's voice was extremely serious: "You can have no results, but you can't lie to me."
Zheng Shangming paused and nodded seriously: "I understand."
He knew very well that if he deceived Jiang Wang this time, he would not even be able to be ordinary friends in the future.
So he acted very cautiously.
But what he knows better is...
If necessary, he will.
This "necessary" refers to the will of the current Emperor Qi.
This is the path he has chosen long ago.
Apart from that, he is willing to fulfill his duty as a friend.
It can be said to be a kind of sadness that we have to talk about the duty of a friend under such restrictions.
However, who has been working hard as a mediocre person, how can he have the qualifications to say "I don't know what I will do"? He is different from Jiang Wang. He must know what he will do, and he must understand what he can and cannot do.
What.
These necessities are not the necessities of being a human being.
But it is necessary for the position of [Beiya Captain].
Zheng Shi has stood firm for many years. What he learned after leaving office is nothing more than "loyalty to the emperor".
…
…
The light turns like a shuttle, and the shadows of the sun fly.
Three full days have passed since the trip to the Capital Inspection Office.
It has been confirmed again that there is no such person as Lin Youxie in Guitian Palace, Judi Palace, Xingren Palace, and the three Dharma Palaces. Lin Youxie has never been to Tianxing Cliff.
There was even a true descendant from the Judi Palace in the Sanxing Palace named Zhuo Qingru who personally responded to a letter to confirm the matter with Jiang Wang.
The letter also confirmed that there was indeed a true biography quota in Judi Palace, and Daqi was once promised to arrest Uriel in recognition of his innovation in autopsy methods. Later, this quota was transferred by Uriel to a man named Lin You.
Evil people.
But Lin Youxie never reported to Sanxing Palace.
For Jiang Wang, what this news confirmed was that Lin Youxie indeed had the possibility of going to the Sanxing Palace, which was consistent with the plan Lin Youxie described when they separated.
It can be inferred from this that Lin Youxie's disappearance was most likely against her own wishes.
In other words, something might have happened to Lin Youxie...
As for Beiya, after three full days of investigation, no useful information was received.
With Qi Guoqingpai's powerful intelligence capabilities, there was no trace of Lin Youxie at all. Since May, she seemed to have completely...disappeared from this world.
"We have sent people to check the docks, border counties, and overseas... If Capt. Lin is determined not to let anyone find her, she can do it with her ability."
In the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, Zheng Shangming considered his words and said slowly: "I mean, maybe there is such a possibility."
"Okay, I understand, I have troubled you these two days." Jiang Wang stood up and said.
Zheng Shangming had no choice but to stand up: "Beiya will not give up tracking. I will notify you as soon as there is news."
"Good. Hard work." Jiang Wang said calmly.
Zheng Shangming looked at him, but finally couldn't say anything, so he said goodbye.
Specifically in this matter, did Zheng Shangming carefully search for someone? He must have searched carefully, and even expanded his network overseas.
But even a Qingpai with poor case handling skills like Jiang Wang knows that to investigate a missing person, one must start with two clues.
One is the movement trajectory of the missing person, and the other is the social relationship of the missing person.
The docks, border counties, overseas, and Zheng Shangming all checked.
Does he dare to investigate the Tian family, which has huge suspicions? Does he dare to investigate the queen?
Not to mention a thorough investigation, Zheng Shangming couldn't even extend it a little in that direction.
Jiang Wang didn't mean to demand Zheng Shangming to explore that terrifying shadow. He just understood after three days of waiting that this was all Zheng Shangming could do.
It is true that Lin Youxie's disappearance may not necessarily be related to the current queen. So far, there is no clue that can connect them together. But with such a natural black wall standing there, Zheng Shangming did not even dare to look over there.
It is destined to be impossible to find any results.
So he just thanked me and said nothing else.
The use of Qing Pai's power ends here.
Even if he goes to Yang Weitong, the newly appointed captain of Beiya, it will not be any different from Zheng Shangming.
Jiang Wang didn't give himself any time to hesitate or feel lost. He said goodbye to Zheng Shangming and went out alone.
Without any cover, he flew towards Lushuang County.
It was difficult for him to hide it from the eyes of interested people in Qi State, so he simply made his attitude clear directly - he wanted to find Lin Youxie personally.
It is true that his ability to find traces is ordinary, and he can even be said to be a complete layman.
But besides him, who else would go to Lin Youxie before he could reach the black wall?
Besides himself, who else dares to take it seriously and try his best for it?
The last time I met Lin Youxie was in an inaccessible dense forest in Lushuang County. At that time, I came here because I was looking for Fourteen.
He asked Lin Youxie for help for Zhongxuansheng, and Lin Youxie agreed without saying a word. As expected, he was the first to find the person without any clues, and pulled the almost collapsed Zhongxuansheng out of the sea of misery.
.
Now that Lin Youxie is missing, who can find her?
Walking through the dense forest, I was startled by the flying birds.
The cry is hoarse and noisy.
Today I visited my old place again and saw thin trees with yellow leaves, quite different from the old days.
The clearing is still there, and the two opposite horizontal branches are still there.
It's just that the open space is filled with residual leaves, and the horizontal branches are bare and thin...
They all seemed lonely.
Jiang Wang thought to himself that it was because of the autumn weather.
