"Envoy Duyun serves the gods and rarely interacts with courtiers." Fu Shanyue said seriously, "The one they see most is the emperor!"
Are you sending a special envoy who doesn't take sides?
Is Lingxu City's attitude impartial?
"The status of the attendants and lantern keepers in our Bejia Star-Zhaing Tower is very high, not to mention Du Yun Envoy." Fu Shanyue said quickly, "This Bai Du Envoy always walks around in accordance with the will of the gods. You will see him soon. , don’t neglect it!”
When these last four words came out of the mouth of the lawless Fu Shanyue, He Lingchuan knew that the person coming was something special.
Aren't these the clergy who serve the gods?
Fu Shanyue stood up and went out to greet him personally.
There were already two people in the inn lobby, and one of them turned out to be Fan Sheng.
Fu Shanyue walked over and said with a smile: "Master Bai, long time no see!" Then he nodded to Fan Sheng, "Commander Fan."
The other visitor, let alone handsome, looked not only mediocre, but even a little bit trivial. Standing next to Fan Sheng was a huge difference.
But He Lingchuan did not dare to despise him.
On the one hand, Fu Shanyue, who had always been domineering, changed his attitude when facing Bai Ziqi; on the other hand, Du Yunshi's first function was to serve the gods. In terms of the god-respecting etiquette of all Bejia people, there was no need to talk about three courts and five eyes in selecting waiters. , at least have a good appearance to show respect for the gods.
Bai Ziqi has such a distinguished appearance, but he can still be the deputy envoy of Duyun, so he must be extraordinary.
Let's talk about Fan Sheng, the arrogant second-in-command of the Tongxin Guards, standing behind Bai Ziqi at the moment.
When Bai Ziqi saw Fu Shanyue, he was also smiling: "Your Highness! Haha, last time we met, I was the eldest son, and now I am your Highness, congratulations!"
There's something strangely contagious about his smile, which makes him seem less annoying.
The two people had known each other before, exchanged a few words of greetings, and asked each other to sit down.
Fan Sheng and He Lingchuan also sat down respectively.
Bai Ziqi directly explained his purpose of visit without any official accent: "I was originally in the Twilight Plains, but the Emperor Fei Ying gave me an urgent order and rushed me here on errands."
"Twilight Plains?" Fu Shanyue was startled, "No wonder it's so fast. I thought it would take less than half a month to send envoys from the imperial capital."
The Twilight Plains is in the south of Chiyan. It is some distance away from here, but it is still much faster than starting from Lingxu City.
"It must be like this in the past." Bai Ziqi sighed, "Isn't it just that I'm outside? The emperor probably didn't want to see the old men arguing in front of him, so he pointed at me from afar, and I hurriedly came."
"Is Baidu going to the Twilight Plains for business?" Fu Shanyue didn't believe that he only stayed in the Twilight Plains. A few steps to the north, he entered the border of the Chiyan Kingdom. Ninety percent of this guy has already passed the customs and entered the country!
Why did the envoy of Lingxu City sneak into the territory of Chiyan Kingdom without making a sound?
"Of course, do you think I like to wander around with nothing to do?" Bai Ziqi laughed and brought the topic back, "The whereabouts of the youngest of the Zhongsun family are still unknown?"
"The monster that devoured him has not shown up yet." Fu Shanyue said with a heavy expression, "It's not optimistic."
He turned back and pointed at He Lingchuan: "The emperor designated the case of the missing White-shouldered Eagle Messenger to be investigated and handled by the Chiyan Kingdom, and my father did not dare to neglect it. This is the special envoy I personally appointed to investigate the case. I followed the clues all the way from Zhitian Township, and I didn't expect to find out what I am now. A big fish."
Big fish, of course, refers to Cen Boqing.
He Lingchuan was sitting next to him. Bai Ziqi had looked at him several times and then let out a long "Oh, I heard that you are from Fu country?"
He Lingchuan met his gaze: "Exactly."
"Tell me this case from beginning to end. The more detailed it is, the better."
Although he had read Fushan Yue Ti's case statement, the content there was definitely not as detailed as the person handling the case.
He Lingchuan said it exactly as it was, trying to be as concise as possible without adding any exaggeration or jealousy.
Of course, I won't mention the fact that Mai Xuewen came to visit him privately. After Zhong Sunmou was killed, He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue exchanged their confessions more than once and decided to hide this "little matter" to avoid misunderstanding by the envoys of Lingxu City.
He had only been working on this case for a short time, only a few months, but the content was complicated and tortuous, and it took him almost half an hour to basically finish describing it.
During this period, beads, portraits, and the "Record of Worshiping Gods" used by Mai Xuewen to solve puzzles were also taken out.
Fan Sheng was quiet throughout the whole process and didn't say a word.
Bai Ziqi listened very carefully and occasionally asked questions, but He Lingchuan answered everything he knew.
He had long made up his mind that when facing the Lingxu City envoy, all he had to do was be "honest."
Restore the original appearance of the incident and expose the entire process to the sun as much as possible so that no one can find anything wrong with a magnifying glass. Then He Lingchuan himself will be safe.
After retelling the case, Bai Ziqi said "Okay, okay" three times, and then said: "It sounds like the special envoy handled the case appropriately. In other words, the current difficulty lies with Wu Kai. His identification, Is it the key to Cen Boqing’s conviction?”
"Exactly."
"If he doesn't plead guilty, both himself and Cen Boqing are not guilty." Bai Ziqi shook his head, "Isn't the case stuck here? Do you have any countermeasures?"
"Wu Kai's subordinate Yang Song has confessed and identified him." Fu Shanyue answered, "But there is no physical evidence. Wu Kai is very cautious. If you have a good strategy, please ask Baidu Envoy for advice."
"I'm new here, so I need to listen more and see more." Bai Ziqi acted very modestly. "In addition, the prince thinks that Cen Boqing colluded with Zhongsun and made false confessions for the messenger case to cover up the truth? This is a very serious accusation."
The Zhongsun family, the Cen family, and Da Sinong, the three powerful families in Lingxu City of Chiyan Kingdom were offended in one fell swoop.
"The felon Fu Songhua, whom they accused of being the murderer, and Pang Denian, Wu Kai's subordinate who bribed the prison boss and entered the prison to conspire with him, are both in custody and have also written confessions."
"Where's Fu Songhua's confession?"
The sooner Fushan prepares it, the better to ask people to serve it at this time.
Bai Ziqi spread it out and read each page very carefully.
He Lingchuan noticed that he read almost word for word, especially the last few pages, which he only turned over in a long time, and his expression became more solemn.
Why does the time spent reading the last few pages exceed the total of the previous pages?
He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly as he remembered something.
Cen Boqing took precautions and prepared a false confession long ago. Once the incident comes to light, he will put the blame on fugitive Fu Songhua's forehead.
But there is one point that Cen Boqing cannot avoid, that is, he must make it clear in his false confession: why did the "mastermind" Fu Songhua know the departure time and route of the White-shouldered Eagle Courier?
Otherwise, how can we be sure that he is a female cadre?
Therefore, Fu Songhua "must" have an internal correspondent in Lingxu City.
Such a name did appear in the confession.
But because the disappearance of the White-shouldered Eagle Messenger was an unexpected event, even Cen Boqing himself could not predict it.
If he wants to add new content to the false confession he has prepared, and if he wants to disguise the accident as deliberate, it will be difficult for him not to reveal his flaws.
Therefore, the name of this "internal response" is very crucial. Lingxu City will only accept this false confession if it finds something based on this investigation.
Bai Ziqi read it, thought for a long time, and then said: "The biggest doubt about this case is that Mai Xuewen's behavior does not make sense."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue both had question marks on their faces.
"He doesn't live in Baishajing at all. He doesn't even buy a house here. He only comes here twice a year at most. Why is his food, clothing, and everything related to Baishajing? It's like he's afraid that others won't know."
He Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was slightly dazed. These clues are buried in the complicated case, one to the east and one to the west. The content of Fushan Yueshang's memorial was just a simple list, but Bai Ziqi could find something strange in it.
He Lingchuan felt strange at first because he was handling the case personally and was right there, so he could see and feel it.
Bai Ziqi can find out the doubts through simple and cold files.
He is truly worthy of being the envoy entrusted with important tasks by the Demon Emperor.
"Maybe he just likes these tunes?" Fu Shanyue shrugged, "Just like Chiyan also produces chewing tobacco, but I only like Baoshu Country."
"Even if I don't say it, from now on the Cen family and Zhongsun
Everyone will use these doubts to criticize the prince. Bai Ziqi politely nodded to him and said, "By the way, where is the suspect named Wu detained? I want to see him."
"It's right here with me." Fu Shanyue glanced at He Lingchuan, "Fu Songhua was previously imprisoned in the county jail, but the prison leader was bribed by the Cen family. It's no longer safe there."
He Lingchuan suddenly stood up and sprinted out of the hall. He moved very quickly, and the person disappeared in a flash. Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "Is this?"
What's going on outside?
Fushan Yue happened to speak at the same time: "It's evening, will Bai Duzhang come to my place for dinner? I have some of the best cooks in Baishaqiang. Baishaqiang is rich in products, including things that swim in the water, things that fly in the sky, and braised vegetables." It tastes delicious, it’s not easy to eat such fresh food in Lingxu City.”
"I appreciate the prince's kindness." Bai Ziqi looked at the sky, "I have to go to the Cen Mansion later."
Fu Shanyue said, "Is Bai Du going to the Cen Mansion again?"
"I have to listen to both sides." Bai Ziqi smiled half-heartedly, "The case is difficult to handle, but the emperor takes it very seriously."
He couldn't just listen to the prince's words. Cen Boqing's side of the story was also one of the key points of the emperor's explanation.
"If the case is easy to handle, how can Labor Bai Dujia be able to do it?" Fushanyue coughed, "If it is found out that Cen Boqing is the mastermind behind it, what will Bai Duzhi do?"
"Investigate and handle according to law." Bai Ziqi said meaningfully, "I have said that the emperor attaches great importance to it."
"What if there is someone else after Cen Boqing's death?" This is what Chiyan King and his son care most about.
Bai Ziqi smiled: "You're taking it step by step, Prince, why should you be anxious?"
Fu Shanyue sighed: "Before I came here, my father specially told me that this case must be investigated to the bottom of the case, the real culprit must be caught, and the victims of the demon people in Chiyan must be given a satisfactory explanation!"
To put it simply, the attitude of the King of Chiyan is just eight words:
We will never stop until we get to the bottom of it.
Just as Fu Shanyue was about to speak, the tiger Jiao Yu rushed in from outside, leaving an afterimage so fast that there was no nonsense in his mouth:
"The suspect vomited blood!"
