Chapter 82 Lead the snake out of the hole
Lu Yan's heart was beating fast at the beginning of today, and she knew what would happen today. During dinner, she was still absent-minded. Lu Yan's mother, Mrs. Zhou, was very fond of her daughter, and waited until the maids had retreated.
He whispered some comfort.
Someone who had just calmed down heard that the door of the room was pushed open. The person who came in was the third prince Jiang Qi with a frosty look on his face. There must be a person in the room who had saved him back then. Jiang Qi.
Qi Ye could only bow before telling Lu Yan the purpose of coming here tonight.
"Xiao Lian, the third prince is definitely the killer of Hanmo City." Lu Yan was surprised and then hurriedly added: "I wonder what evidence the third prince has?"
Tian Jun, who was following behind, immediately put a token on the ground and handed it to her, but Lu Yan took a look and shook her head: "This is not something from Hanmo City." After saying that, he gently broke the token with his hand and it broke into pieces.
The two halves turned out to be solid inside.
"And the material of this token is wrong! Someone deliberately led the clues to Hanmo City."
Lu Yan's mother came out from behind. When she saw the guests, she looked at the windy and handsome mother-in-law. She asked in a low voice: "Are you Qi'er?"
After all, he was the one who saved his mother back then. Jiang Qi still respected the senior in front of him very much.
"Qi'er, see Aunt Fang!"
Mrs. Fang smiled and said: "Well, let's not mention the things of the past years. Today I met your mother and the princess's mother. Since you two are destined to be destined to have no connection, the original engagement will be concluded.
Right, just Yanzi’s child and his husband?”
Jiang Qi knew about those two people, so he told them in detail. Then he talked about what happened in the Imperial City today, and when he mentioned the forbidden arts of the Xiqin clan, Fang's eyes darkened and he said secretly: "I can't help with anything else.
, but I know all too well about the forbidden technique you mentioned that takes away other people's life span."
"Mom!" Lu Yan was also a little scared and took several steps back.
"Don't worry, in fact, according to close blood relations, I am the last direct descendant of the Xi Qin clan. It's just that the years have caused our clansmen to lose the ability to communicate with the world. However, some bloodline power still exists." Fang
Shi held Jiang Qi's hand tightly and said: "Once the forbidden technique is used, the consequences will be disastrous. If I guessed correctly, this matter must be related to the Guo family."
"Aunt Fang, is this the Guo family?"
Mrs. Fang shook her head: "I don't know, but our Fang family was wiped out overnight. The general Guo who led the team took away the ancient books on forbidden arts that the Fang family guarded."
Jiang Qi thought about the Ji family and asked, "Aunt Fang, I know that a peerless genius came out of the Ji family two hundred years ago."
"Are you talking about the legend of the girl from the Ji family?" Fang quickly organized her words: "The legendary girl from the Ji family takes her mother's surname. She was originally a child of the Fang family. Qi'er, wait a minute!"
I didn’t expect that I wanted to come to Lu Yan to lure the snake out of the cave, but I would know such a big secret. If everything about the Fang family and General Guo family is really as what Fang said, could it be Guo Pingfang? It’s better not to be him. If it is him, then this
It’s really hard to handle.
The Guo family has been very close to Prince Su recently, and the consequences would be really disastrous if they were really allowed to get involved.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ms. Fang walked out of the inner bedroom with a pale face. Lu Yan rushed over and saw a piece of bloody jade in her mother's hand. Then she lowered her head and glanced at her leg.
There's gauze wrapped around it, but there's something else I don't understand.
Jiang Qi hurriedly took out the elixir that mortals could eat from his storage bag and stuffed it into Fang's mouth: "Eat it quickly!"
Fang swallowed it without any doubt. It wasn't long before she heard Fang's voice lowering her head: "This is the cracking hair of the taboo technique. You take Yanzi with you. She is the only one of the Xiqin family.
His descendants will definitely be able to help you."
The situation was urgent, so Jiang Qi produced a bottle of medicinal solution and handed it to the maid beside Fang. He told her to apply it on the wound for a while, while leading Lu Yan to the front hall. When a few people came to the front hall,
Jiang Qi suddenly saw someone who shouldn't be here. He actually appeared here.
The visitor was none other than Situ Lan's aunt Situ Tianlan, followed by Situ Xiaonan and Situ Shanshan.
When Situ Lan saw Jiang Qi's arrival, he seemed to think differently. After Jiang Qi saluted, he told the news he had just heard from Fang. Situ Tianlan stared at Lu Yan, and suddenly
He tapped more than a dozen acupoints on her body. Every time he tapped an acupoint, Lu Yan's whole body trembled.
After tapping the last acupuncture point, Situ Tianlan returned to the main position again.
"Yes, Lu Yan's mother did not lie. She does have power in her body, but it is weak at the moment. Even if she can help, it is a very small help." Situ Tianlan said: "Jiang Qi, what do you think our next step is?
what to do?"
Seeing Jiang Qi's confused look, Situ Lan quickly explained: "Now that Xiao Feng'er is unconscious, you are the backbone of everyone. Just give the orders!"
Father has always said that he is too sincere and won't beat around the bush. It's okay to lead soldiers and generals to fight on the battlefield, but when it comes to fighting with others, her little Feng'er is better. This is why Father is so fast.
The reason why he agreed to let Situ Lan’s daughter become his third prince’s wife.
Returning to his thoughts, Jiang Qi nodded: "The situation is urgent, we need to confirm two things first. Is there someone who deliberately trended the Fang family case more than thirty years ago, just for the forbidden skills of the Xi Qin family? The second one
It is to determine whether the person carrying out the imperial edict is our Guo Pingfang. If he is, he must suppress this person as soon as possible. He cannot be allowed to escape from the Imperial City."
"The other thing is why the Guo family has monks working for them, Senior Tianlan. The two people captured by Tuantuan and Aunt Lan were handed over. The interrogation must bring out the results."
Situ Lan said, I will slow down the situation. She will use the Divine Searching Technique. If she uses the Divine Searching Technique directly, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible if the result is obtained.
After figuring out Lu Yan's problem, there is no need to involve her in the affairs of the police. Jiang Qi took Situ Xiaonan with him when he left. Only two elders from the Saintess Hall could only stay outside Shen Qianfeng's room to take charge.
It's the duty of the guard.
Tonight is the first time Mr. Cao Xi, the Minister of Household Affairs, has worked overtime. The reason is very simple. The third prince has given him a task. It is to find out how the missing county magistrate of Rongcheng County got the green light to rise to the top. After two investigations
For an hour, the more he checked, he felt that his body was struggling fiercely.
All the evidence points to one person, Mr. Ji Shi. He is the most trustworthy subordinate of his, mainly because he is in line with the promotion and deployment of officials. But when he sent people to arrest him, how could the Ji family still have the whereabouts of Ji Shi?
?
When Cao Xi was sitting alone in his study in a daze, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. When the guard guarding the door wanted to speak, he was stopped by Tian Jun who had caught up.
Jiang Qi pushed the door open, and Cao Xi, who was sitting behind the desk, felt a cold wind coming from the dark side. When Mr. Cao raised his head, he was so frightened that he rolled off the chair. He said with a struggle: "Third Prince
Spare your life, spare your life, Third Prince! We can't find Ji Shi. Now it's confirmed that it was Ji Shi who sent Guo Nan to the position of magistrate of Rongcheng County. But!" He glanced at the Third Prince again.
Jiang Qi sat on the Grand Master's chair on the left: "But Ji Shi has disappeared, hasn't he? Wait, you said that the magistrate of Rongcheng County is from the Guo family? Who is Guo Nan?"
Tianjun's eyebrows were almost knotted before he thought of someone and immediately asked: "The Guo Nan that Mr. Cao mentioned is the number one gangster in the Imperial City. It's hard to be the eldest son of General Guo Pingfang's younger brother Guo Pinglong. The eldest son of General Pingyuan."
son?"
Cao Xi nodded hurriedly: "That's him, that's him! But I don't know, why would someone who suffered a thousand cuts choose such a person?"
Jiang Qi nodded: "Well done, you continue to finish your work. Form a copy and report it to Mr. Xingyun. After that, there will be no more business for you. By the way, how much do you know about Mr. Fang Heng?"
The name Fang Heng was too old. Cao Xi only remembered that incident when he was about to break his head at his age. After clearing those mundane thoughts from his mind, Cao Xi slowly recalled what happened to Jiang Qi back then. It turned out that Fang Heng was Fang Heng's name.
Your Excellency, the position held by He Yuan thirty years ago was the position occupied by He Yuan today.
At that time, for unknown reasons, Fang Heng's family was destroyed by a fire. Not long after His Highness Prince Su accepted the Divine Pavilion, he had been investigating for several years without any clues. Later, it was shelved as an unsolved case.
"What did you say?" Jiang Qi gritted his teeth: "Didn't the late emperor issue the decree to judge the crime?"
Cao Xi exploded when he heard this: "Nonsense, where did the Third Prince hear about it? The emperor had never issued such an imperial edict back then. If you don't believe it, you can ask Shen Pavilion to find information on the Fang family's case."
Jiang Qi really didn't expect that the situation would be so serious. Someone started to pay attention to the forbidden arts of the Fang family thirty years ago. Is it really for immortality? It's not just that simple, Guo Pinglong? I will do it now.
Go and meet you.
Jiang Qi turned and left, saying as he left: "Tianjun, please return to the headquarters and ask Mr. Xingyun to report the case to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Tianjun thought quickly and rushed out of the door. He disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.
"Tianhe, notify the city guard, General Suo. From now on, we will seal off the city and search for Ji Shi from house to house. Remember, you must capture them alive and do not kill them unless absolutely necessary."
"Yes!" Tianhe left at a faster speed.
With only Situ Xiaonan and Wu Song left by his side, Jiang Qi then ordered: "Xiaonan, take Wu Song and we will go to Pingyuan General's Mansion now!" After saying that, he met and thought of flying to the south.
go.
Situ Xiaonan stretched out his hand to take me away and fly away, but was stopped by the simple man in front of him. He took out a token from his backpack and handed it to him.
Situ Xiaonan immediately tied the token around his waist and led Wu Song to chase his master.
Pingyuan General Mansion.
When Jiang Qi's feet landed, he realized that he was already late. There were no guards at the gate, and the two lanterns at the door looked like they had not been lit in recent days.
"What's going on?" Wu Song, who had just jumped off Situ Xiaonan's flying magic weapon, asked, "Did you escape a long time ago?"
Jiang Qi didn't believe that such a bizarre thing could happen, so he quickly ran over and knocked on the door of the General's Mansion. The knocking on the door kept coming. It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that the door of the General's Mansion finally opened. From the door
There was a head seeping out from the crack, it was an old man in his fifties.
The old man glanced at it and said: "The general and his family left the imperial capital four days ago. I don't know where they are going."
The old man has lived here for several decades. He can get a rough idea of the backgrounds of the people coming and going or what they do for a living just by looking at them. These people at the door are not ordinary people.
Common people.
"Master, don't you need to go in and search?"
Situ Xiaonan on the side suddenly said: "No need, this old man is telling the truth. Apart from him, there are two maids and a cook, and there is no one else."
Of course Jiang Qi was not happy to be tricked. His determination to turn defeat into victory became even stronger.
After calming down the aura on his body, Jiang Qi said: "Wu Song, ask Xiaonan to come to your headquarters. Immediately send an order to the whole country to search for the whereabouts of Pingyuan General Guo Pinglong. Anyone who can report the information will be heavily rewarded."
"Master, what about you?" Wu Song had never seen his master so disappointed and wanted to comfort him, but it was best to follow Jiang Qi's order and leave.
Early the next morning, when Shen Qianfeng woke up, she heard the news from the palace, saying that last night, the third prince had directly broke into Wuyue Palace and wanted to talk to his father about something important.
Of course, Jiang Qi definitely didn't break into the inner palace. Even so, the emperor had better go out with a livid face to see his son.
Shen Qianfeng's hand holding the medicine bowl was a little wobbly. Fortunately, the younger sister took action quickly. Otherwise, this bowl of medicine was really made by Situ Yue after a lot of effort. She, Situ Yue, is a student of traditional Chinese medicine.
, it’s really so-so.
This medicine was really too bitter. Shen Qianfeng held her nose and drank it in one breath. Smashing it, she said, "What happened next? Was Brother Qi beaten by Father?"
The younger sister hurriedly explained: "No, no, it was the Queen herself who took action and rescued the prince, otherwise he would have been given a good beating."
Shen Qianfeng laughed loudly: "What happened to Brother Qi? Guo Pinglong escaped as soon as he escaped. As long as we are sure that he is the culprit behind the scenes, we will be able to see him again soon. But we just don't understand that this forbidden art is in his hands."
After so many years, why did we only start taking action a year ago?"
