Judging from Qi Xuansu's experience in dealing with Qiniang, Qiniang's words cannot be disbelieved but not fully believed. It is difficult to distinguish clearly what is true and what is false.
So Qi Xuansu was dubious.
Qiniang once again put on the veil of the new era - large sunglasses, and said: "Just think of me as an empath. A man, a real man, should take the world as his own responsibility, and carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements.
Don't be pretentious all day long, just do what you have to do."
There are many words that have been kept unsaid and kept in the heart, as if the water level keeps rising. Over time, the whole person's mentality will inevitably be affected, but once said out, it is like opening the floodgates to release the flood, but it makes people feel relieved.
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "I'm going to make great contributions now."
Qiniang turned around and entered a portal.
Qi Xuansu left the "Dream Meeting".
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu came to the mortgage room as usual. Not long after, Ke Qingqing came in in a panic: "Sir, something happened."
"What's the matter?" In front of Ke Qingqing, Qi Xuansu put away all his fragility. He was no longer a child in front of Qiniang, but a decisive, thoughtful and ruthless boss Qi.
Ke Qingqing took a breath: "Gao Mingyin, he's dead."
Qi Xuansu, who was sitting behind the desk, suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the signing room.
Ke Qingqing hurriedly followed behind.
When Qi Xuansu came to the underworld, he saw several helpless spiritual officials.
Qi Xuansu did not rush for accountability, but asked: "Where are the people?"
A spiritual officer hurriedly led the way to the secluded room where Gao Mingyin was, opened the doors, and saw Gao Mingyin lying on his back on the stone bed, his eyes wide open, but his eyes had turned gray.
The spiritual officer who led the way said: "When we first noticed something was wrong with him, he was lying on his side on the bed, facing the wall. We came in to check the situation and patted him, and he became like this now. He was no longer alive."
Qi Xuansu stared at Gao Mingyin's face, was silent for a moment, and then ordered: "Go to the Supervisory Department and ask an old man to do it."
Ke Qingqing was startled for a moment: "We in the underworld have a special autopsy department."
"I can't trust them. Gao Mingyin died in a heavily guarded prison with no external injuries and no signs of intrusion. Can I still trust them?" Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice, "Go to the Superintendent's Department. They were willing to help last time.
We can see that they are not the same people as those behind Gao Mingyin. No matter how powerful the King of Liao is, he cannot dominate the imperial capital with one hand. The imperial court has never been monolithic."
"Here." Ke Qingqing responded, quickly turned around and left.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Who has Gao Mingyin seen recently?"
Several
The famous spiritual officials looked at each other, hesitating and speechless.
Qi Xuansu emphasized his tone: "Say."
"Yes...it's Deputy Palace Master Qian." A spiritual official said in a low voice.
Qi Xuansu suppressed his anger: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to see Gao Mingyin?"
Several spiritual officials lowered their heads: "Deputy Palace Master Qian is in charge of Nether Prison. She wants to interrogate Gao Mingyin, and we can't stop her."
Qi Xuansu knew that these spiritual officials could not be blamed for this matter, so he softened his tone: "I understand, I will tell Deputy Palace Master Shi that you don't go anywhere in the past few days, just stay in the Jade Palace."
"Yes." Several spiritual officials responded.
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "We have nothing to do with you here for now, go ahead."
Several spiritual officials breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
Qi Xuansu stood alone in the secluded room, recalling the last time he and Qian Xiangyun met, and summoned an accompanying Taoist priest.
At this time, a seventh-grade Taoist priest stepped forward and said softly: "Master."
Qi Xuansu looked at Gao Mingyin's body and ordered: "Report what happened here to Deputy Palace Master Shi."
"Here." The Taoist priest left quickly.
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that Qian Xiangyun is the biggest suspect, but it cannot be concluded so simply that Qian Xiangyun silenced Gao Mingyin. Even if it was Qian Xiangyun who did it, as Qi Xuansu's chief executive, there is no way to do anything to her. The key is
It would take Shi Bingyun coming forward.
Not long after, Shi Bingyun arrived before Wu Zuo.
Since Qi Xuansu handled this case, Shi Bingyun has provided support and inquired about the progress of the case, but has never directly intervened. This is the first time that Shi Bingyun has directly participated in the case.
As Shi Bingyun walked along, both spiritual officials and Taoist priests saluted one after another. However, Shi Bingyun didn't even look at him. He came to the quiet room as if no one else was around and looked at Gao Mingyin on the stone bed.
She could roughly determine how Gao Mingyin died, but the specific details still required professionals.
"Qian Xiangyun did it?" Shi Bingyun asked.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "There is no direct evidence yet."
Shi Bingyun sneered and said: "You really have hands and eyes that can reach the sky, and you can even reach out to the Imperial Palace. This matter cannot be solved."
Qi Xuan Suping retreated from the others and said softly: "I heard that the Shenshu Imperial Army, Qingluan Guard, and Xuanhui Academy have been undergoing frequent changes recently."
Shi Bingyun did not ask Qi Xuansu where he heard about it, but just said: "The capital camp is divided into two parts. The Shenji camp is no longer responsible for the defense of the imperial capital. Only the Shenshu camp is left alone. According to the usual practice, a nobleman or clan member will be in charge.
The admiral is the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs in the capital, and a civil servant serves as the assistant commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs in the capital is now the king of Liao."
Qi Xuansu was speechless and said: "His Majesty the Emperor actually trusts this fellow brother so much?"
"There is a lot of age difference between the two. They are brothers, but they are more like half father and son. The King of Liao was brought up by the Emperor, so their relationship is naturally different from that of ordinary brothers." Shi Bingyun had an affair with a prince. Regarding these,
The secrets of the royal family are naturally treasured in every household.
Qi Xuansu had more questions: "Then the Queen Mother..."
Shi Bingyun naturally knew what Qi Xuansu was wondering about, and said calmly: "It is said that the Queen Mother was only eighteen years old when she gave birth to your majesty, and she was thirty-seven when she gave birth to the King of Liao. There was nearly twenty years between them. They are not just like father and son.
age."
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that the current emperor ascended the throne in his prime years. In other words, the late emperor passed away not long after the birth of the King of Liao when he was still in his infancy. Naturally, there was no problem between the two brothers competing for the throne.
What else could Qi Xuansu say? He could only sigh: "The late emperor was also a very human being."
He couldn't help but think that low morals also had advantages. The moral level of the Taoist sect was high enough. He and Zhang Yuelu were still in the inspection stage of many elders. At most, they did not object, and it was not possible to say that they were in favor. It was such a waste of time.
We are about to turn thirty, so it is not easy to become a Taoist couple at the age of thirty. Look here, because seventy years are rare in life, so children can get married at the age of half a child.
He and Zhang Yuelu have had many children at their age, and they are almost able to become grandparents by the time they are in their thirties.
There is nothing that can be done about it. For ordinary people, a person who can live to be sixty years old is considered a long life. By the age of twenty, one-third of one's life has been completed. It will take more than ten years to raise a child. In addition, the child dies in infancy.
The rate of marriage is extremely high, so it is necessary to get married early and have children. Regardless of men or women, they must get married before they are twenty years old. If they are not married by the age of twenty, they will be punished and forcibly matched.
For many people here in Dao Sect, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is not difficult to reach a hundred years old. Twenty-year-old has just completed one-fifth of the journey. It is just the beginning. There is still a lot of time in the future. There is no need to rush to decide how many decades will follow.
It is a lifelong event. Anyone who marries a teenage girl will be punished.
Such differences are reflected in all aspects. Ordinary people and many women often say that they are "helpless". This is not a deliberate attempt to be miserable, but the truth. Men
It is not a compliment to say that the wife is the pillar of support. Without the adult men who support the family, it is just a matter of time to kick down the widow's door and end her family. Abducting women and children is a big industry. If a widowed woman has no brothers or adult sons in the family, she will
They will be plotted by others, often abducted by hired wanderers, or simply kidnapped while walking on the street.
But it's different when it comes to Taoism. It all depends on the level of cultivation. Strictly speaking, Shi Bingyun and Bai Yingqiong are both widows, and no one dares to bully them.
The actual situations of the two are different, and the moral standards are naturally different.
This reminded Qi Xuansu of what he learned in Shanggong: there is no eternal moral standard, and moral standards must constantly change according to the actual situation of the world.
In these troubled times, most people do not live to be fifty. If you are like Qi Xuansu and rush to get married at the age of thirty, that is not continuing the family line, but preparing to cut off the descendants. You must get married as soon as possible. At this time, morality must be
Make way for the actual situation and change. Therefore, the ancients mostly got married and had children in their teens. Later generations used moral standards adapted to their own actual conditions to criticize the moral concepts and codes of conduct of the ancients. They thought that their morals were far superior to those of the ancients.
Such foolish and arrogant behavior.
Qi Xuansu had no intention of using Taoist standards to judge the behavior of the royal family. He just sighed a little, then pulled back his wandering thoughts and said: "In this way, even if there is no matter about Gao Mingyin, sooner or later we will follow His Highness the King of Liao
match."
Shi Bingyun said: "As far as I know, the relationship between King Liao and Li Tianzhen is good."
Qi Xuansu's eyes were deep: "It's Li Tianzhen again. I've heard of this name since I entered Tiangang Hall. Later, when I went to Jinling Mansion, there was also his shadow behind the scenes. Now in the Imperial City, it's still Li Tianzhen. Why is this person still lingering?
"
"I frowned, unable to return to the world. I jumped to death, and finally fell into the trap of heaven and earth. I bowed my head to the dangerous ladder: Look, that piece of cloud is my sky." Shi Bingyun laughed, "It's not his ghost. They are not scattered, but the Li family is powerful and is everywhere."
Qi Xuansu laughed at himself: "Deputy Palace Master, do you think I'm jumping to death?"
Shi Bingyun said: "You can also let Li Tianzhen fall into Qiankun's trap. It all depends on your method."
About half an hour later, the arrest warrant officer finally arrived.
Shi Bingyun took one last look at the corpse: "After the autopsy, arrange for the alchemist to trace the earth's energy, compile the final results into text, and send a copy to my desk."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out, without looking back, she ordered the Taoist priest in charge of the underworld to see her off: "When you see Deputy Palace Master Qian, ask her to see me."
