Jiang Wang didn't know why Zhong Xuansheng was so sure that Lin Youxie must still be in Lushuang County.
Could it be that all other possibilities have been eliminated and the remaining one is the only truth?
But he completely believed in Chong Xuan Sheng's judgment.
So he just said slowly: "But in Lushuang County, the inspection office has already screened it... If there are clues, they will not miss it."
As long as this matter does not involve the queen, Zheng Shangming's ability and attitude can be trusted.
If Lin Youxie really never left Lushuang County, how could there be no news from Qingpai?
"Zheng Shangming is just like you. In this matter, we can't look at things outside of the situation." Chong Xuansheng said: "Because of Wang Yiwu's incident, he had a new understanding of power. Later, he gave up his military post and returned to Qingpai. , wants to take over from his father and serve as the captain of Beiya. Who does the power of the captain of Beiya come from? "
"If he wants to be the captain of Bei Ya like his father, then he must be absolutely loyal to the emperor like his father."
"When Lin Youxie disappears, the first thing you think of is the queen, and so does he. Because you all know the truth about Lin Kuang's incident back then, and you all know why Lin Youxie suffered from phobia. What do you think of the current queen? The cognition is actually the same. You feel the same depression and fear. It's just that one is moving forward and the other is retreating."
"But your perceptions are incorrect."
Zhong Xuansheng's voice was very calm: "It's like you were trapped in anger from the beginning, thinking passionately about justice and justice, and almost fell into Bao Zhongqing's trap. Zheng Shangming, who was afraid from the beginning, so what? Is it possible to find the truth? Anger will blind your eyes, fear will also make him lose his sensitivity."
He did not say more about Zheng Shangming, but instead said: "Lin Youxie's disappearance, I am more inclined to think it was an accident. Lushuang County is considered the territory of the Lei family, and they may need to rely on their help for this matter... You and Lei Zhan are doing this Did you still keep in touch later?"
The conflict between Jiang Wang and Lei Zhanqian originated from the Seven Star Secret Realm. That time, he used the star power absorbed by the Burning Bone Lotus to knock Lei Zhanqian out of the game in the life-and-death chess game. When they were in Qixing Valley, the two almost started fighting again, but were restrained by Tian Anping, who appeared wearing evil shackles.
There were two subsequent fights, one at the Invincible Martial Arts Arena and one at the Master's Ceremony. Both times, Lei Zhanqian was beaten to the point of losing his face.
But later Jiang Wuqi married Qiu Shuang, and before his death, he ordered to ease their relationship. There is actually no conflict at all between Jiang Wang and Lei Zhanqian.
After Jiang Wuqi's death, the Changsheng Palace was locked away, and Lei Zhanqian was almost helpless. The genius who used to be arrogant and promised to monopolize the world later became discouraged and drank to drown his sorrows all day long.
For Jiang Wuqi's sake, Jiang Wang had already erased the past and even thought about comforting him.
Chong Xuan Sheng also knows these things, so I ask this question.
Jiang Wang shook his head: "Because of the relationship with the eleventh prince, I had the idea of visiting him, but I never made it. The tight schedule is one reason, and the other reason is that I don't know what to say..."
At this moment, Fourteen suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I met that Lei Zhanqian that day in Lushuang County."
Zhong Xuansheng frowned and asked, "Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"I forgot... and we just met and didn't even say a word." Fourteen said in a daze: "At that time, I was worried that he was going to fight me, but he took one look at me and left directly. "
Chong Xuansheng and Jiang Wang looked at each other.
"Is it related to the Lei family?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Within Lushuang County, anyone who is close can do it. But why should the Lei family deal with Lin Youxie?" Chongxuan Sheng said: "Please help me think of a reason now."
Jiang Wang thought for a while and shook his head: "Unexpected."
Chong Xuan Sheng pondered: "I can't think of it either. There is really no such reason in terms of emotion, reason, or profit."
Lin Kuang died investigating the case of Concubine Lei. The Lin family had only kindness and no hatred towards the Lei family. Lei Zhanqian and Lin Youxie are two people who have almost no intersection at all.
On the other hand, when Jiang Wuqi was still alive, he was very willing to give Lin Youxie a chance - he was not only willing to give opportunities to the heirs of the Qingpai family, but also to the run-down families like the Fengxian Zhang family. Because he was such a person, he gave Ping Ping an opportunity to build the Zhang Yong Crying Temple. Also because he was such a person, he was mourned by people for a long time after his death.
Whether starting from the Lei family itself or Jiang Wuqi, the Lei family and Lin Youxie are friends rather than enemies.
"But why did Lei Zhanqian appear there at that time?" Jiang Wang asked puzzledly: "Although it is the territory of Lushuang County, the dense forest is inaccessible. Lei Zhanqian is not a person who wanders around."
"How about asking directly?" Chong Xuansheng did not rush to make a judgment, but just said: "He may know something."
…
Lin Youxie's disappearance was obviously not as simple as Zhong Xuansheng said. He said it was simple, mostly to curb Jiang Wang's impulse and calm Jiang Wang's anger, so that he would not face the black wall recklessly.
After peeling away the cocoon, it still seems that all the clues are useless.
If Chong Xuan Sheng's judgment is correct and Lin Youxie really has not left Lushuang County, then where is she and what is her condition? Do we have to turn the entire Lushuang County upside down?
Even if he and the two princes Chong Xuan Sheng were here, it would not be an easy task to thoroughly investigate a county. What's more, the person they are looking for has already removed his green card. No matter how he is not from Qi, he is no longer important to Qi Guo.
In what name can they do such a thing?
Lin Youxie has been missing for a long time and cannot be delayed any longer.
Chongxuan Sheng and Shi Shi went to their yard to simply change into regular clothes, and then set off with Jiang Wang to Lushuang County.
"The Lei family and the Eleventh Prince have a mutually beneficial relationship. However, since the Eleventh Prince is dead, their situation is not too bad. Because to the other palace masters, the Lei family is no longer a threat. They I don’t mind showing mercy to the Lei family. But after losing the support of the Changsheng Palace, the decline of the Lei family is inevitable. Everything we ate and took now has to be vomited out.”
In the carriage speeding along the official road, Zhong Xuansheng narrated slowly: "There were no outstanding figures in the previous generation of the Lei family. Among the younger generation, the only ones who can be considered outstanding are Lei Zhanqian and Lei Yikun. The latter is bigger Not as good as the former, but the former has also lost all its energy. If there are no other changes, in another ten or twenty years, even in Lushuang County, the Lei family may not be able to speak louder."
Jiang Wang said objectively: "Lei Zhanqian's talent is definitely not bad. If he can cheer up, he may not be able to shoulder the future of the Lei family."
The heart of a strong person is more evident in adversity than in good times.
Judging from Lei Zhanqian's character after his failure, his prestige, which was once equal to that of Wang Yiwu, was mostly supported by the Master of Changsheng Palace.
But he can hold the thunder seal in his hand, seal the world, and even enter the pre-selection list of the Yellow River Society, so he is by no means a mediocre person.
"No matter how good his talent is, if it is left unused for too long, it will really be useless. So I say, the most important thing is to see how he spends the next ten years." Zhongxuan Sheng said calmly: "Let's wait and see."
…
Under the command of Qing Zhuan, Marquis Wu'an's carriage drove straight to the Lei family clan in Lushuang County.
The middle door of Lei's old house where the clan leader lived was opened wide. Lei Zongxian, the leader of the Lei clan, personally greeted him outside the door, shouting the honorable titles of the two marquises and bowing to the bottom. Lei Zhanqian, Lei Yikun and other younger members of the family also bowed respectfully behind him.
Judging from past experience, Lei Zongxian's talents were mediocre, and the most important reason why he was able to secure his position as patriarch was... Concubine Lei Guifei, who was once extremely favored by the emperor, was his biological sister.
He must have a lot in common with Gao Xianchang, the current patriarch of the Jinghai Gao family.
Of course, Lei Zongxian also gave birth to Lei Zhanqian, who had the magical power of taking off the Thunder Seal. He was once known as the Lei family's hope for the next five hundred years, which made him fully qualified to speak out in the family.
So why is it said that things in the world are unpredictable and the sea of people is ups and downs.
If we really have to push it forward a year, if Jiang Wuqi was still alive, even if Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng came to the house with the honor of a prince, there would be no need for Lei Zongxian to go out to greet him personally, and let Lei Zhanqian greet them instead. It's respectful enough.
The wind and rain in life are not only about breaking old branches and drenching old friends.
Jiang Wang didn't show any airs as a marquis, he quickly got out of the carriage, greeted Lei Zongxian first, and then took the initiative to support Lei Zhanqian.
The last time the two met was not long after Jiang Wuqi's death.
At that time, Jiang Wang was still Qingyangzi, but today he is the Marquis of Wu'an.
At that time, Lei Zhanqian was dejected, but today's Lei Zhanqian is even more dejected, and even his eyes are a little numb.
He is still the same person as before, with the same facial features, the same clothes, and the same loose hair, but the domineering aura of dominating the world and looking down on the world has completely disappeared.
He bowed honestly in the crowd, but at first glance, he was far less eye-catching than Lei Yikun standing next to him.
Lei Zhanqian is the son of the patriarch Lei Zongxian, and the short and stocky Lei Yikun is the grandson of Lei Zhanqian's grandfather. The two are slightly distant cousins.
Jiang Wuqi and Lei Zhanqian are closer in blood, and their relationship is deeper. But when Jiang Wuqi was around, Lei Yikun always went with him to do things.
Back in Yunwu Mountain, Lei Yikun, who had a tough personality, looked down upon Jiang Wangji. Today, when Jiang Wang looked at him again, he only showed a kind smile.
Chong Xuan Sheng and Shi Shi walked out of the carriage hand in hand and said directly: "Lei Shibo, don't be too formal. To be honest, Marquis Wu'an and I came here today to ask for something. Isn't it convenient for us and Brother Zhanqian to be alone for a while?" "
It's just that the duke is wearing rich robes, and today's emphasis on Xuan Sheng is no longer the same as in the past few days.
Being alone with Jiang Wang is fashionable and discreet. In front of outsiders, his changes are almost completely transformed.
It is not only a change in status, but also has a real impact on the spirit and spirit, and is related to personal cultivation. In his fat body, otherworldly power is flourishing.
There is still a gentle smile on his face, but it does not make people feel that he is good and can be bullied. What you feel more is his majesty and kindness.
Jiang Wang has always felt that among all the peers he knew, Zhong Xuansheng was the genius most suitable for officialdom and the best able to take advantage of officialdom. Nowadays, an attack on a prince is indeed like a hidden dragon leaping across the abyss.
As soon as he got off the carriage and opened his mouth, he had an aura that dominated the situation.
Compared with Jiang Wang, who became a prince earlier, he has the majesty of a prince.
There were no fierce words, but Lei Zongxian was so frightened by his momentum that he stood there for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"Of course it is convenient. If there is anything the Lei family can do for the two marquises, I will not refuse." Lei Zhanqian took a step forward, took over the conversation, and extended his hand to guide: "You three, please follow me this way. .”
His brows were still gloomy, but he still managed to brace himself up to deal with the two unexpectedly visiting princes. After all, he is the only person in the Lei family who can hold up the situation.
"Then I'm sorry." Jiang Wang was very polite and followed Lei Zhanqian to the house.
Chong Xuan Sheng and Shi Shi also followed closely behind.
Qing Zhuan was guarding the carriage and waiting outside the house.
At this time, Lei Yikun suddenly followed a few steps and said sincerely: "As my cousin said, if the two marquises have needs, the whole Lei family will do their best."
"Okay." Chong Xuansheng turned his head and glanced at him with a smile: "Brother Yikun, please stay."
Lei Yikun stopped with a smile on his face: "I'll be waiting outside. If you have any orders, please feel free to tell me."
Lei Zhanqian was still leading the way silently, as if he was unaware of all this, or in other words, he didn't care at all.
Walk into the mansion, pass through the moon gate, and walk on the gravel path.
Jiang Wang walked beside Lei Zhanqian and said casually: "Based on Brother Lei's previous character, I think the fist has already fallen on him."
"In the past..." Lei Zhanqian walked steadily and said in a calm voice: "I can't see the future, and I can't remember the past."
"There was nothing bad in the past. Everyone has their youthful and energetic days." Jiang Wang said.
"Maybe there is nothing wrong with it, but it is no longer appropriate. What kind of strength matches what kind of temper, are you right?" Lei Zhanqian turned around and bowed to Jiang Wang seriously: "Zhanqian used to You are too arrogant and self-centered. Although Marquis Wu An is said to be generous, I still want to apologize to you."
Jiang Wang immediately supported him: "Those old things have been erased long ago. What are you doing, Brother Lei? I am not here to raise an army to hold him accountable."
Lei Zhanqian was startled for a moment, and then he said in a solemn voice: "Forgive me, the Lei family really can't afford to offend you now. I'm so incompetent, it's all because of my incompetence."
Things can change a person so completely.
Although he had no contact with Lei Zhanqian later on, it seemed that everything he and the Lei family had encountered and experienced since Jiang Wuqi's death could be glimpsed in these few conversations.
His edge was blunted and his vigor was drained.
Back in the secret realm of Seven Stars Valley, he used one move to attack the dragon and snake, and took the initiative to attack everyone without caring about anyone's identity. Among them are Li Fengyao and even Jiang Wuxie!
Now my waist is so bent and my head is so low.
In the past, I was ignorant and fearless, but now I am a helpless person.
The big tree in Changsheng Palace fell over, and the Lei family of Jiang Wuqi's mother clan was the only hozen that could not escape.
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.
Chong Xuansheng said: "On the way here just now, Wu Anhou and I were still worried about the future of the Lei family. Now that we see Brother Lei reborn and so stable, we know that we have worried too much."
Lei Zhanqian smiled bitterly: "It's just a matter of years, facing the wind and rain, and gradually knowing how much I weigh...how can I deserve the praise of the Marquis?"
As he spoke, he arrived at a quiet courtyard.
Lei Zhanqian waved his hand to drive away the servants, and then asked the three of them to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
When Jiang Wang and the others sat down, he was still standing, so he stood and asked, "I wonder why you two are here today? If there is anything Lei can do, please don't hesitate to teach me."
Jiang Wang said helplessly: "Brother Lei, please sit down and talk. If you do this, it will make us look like unwelcome guests."
Lei Zhanqian then sat on half of his buttocks.
Chong Xuansheng pointed at Fourteen and said, "This is my wife."
Lei Zhanqian then looked at Fourteen seriously and said politely: "I have met Mrs. Bowang Hou."
"Have you seen her before?" Chong Xuan Sheng asked calmly.
Lei Zhanqian showed an expression of "Sure enough," and sighed: "I've seen it before."
He stood up again, bent down and saluted: "I dare to inquire, the two princes are here today, but are they here to hunt for Lin Youxielin?"
