There were so many crows that no one could get close, let alone snatch the corpse out.
Only when the Imperial Guards came and dispersed with fire did they save the last remains of the Emperor's uncle.
But the skin and flesh were completely destroyed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and all the bones were visible.
Embarrassing and terrifying.
Everyone couldn't help but hide their eyes and didn't dare to look, but Shi Qinghuan frowned and only looked away when the white cloth covered the body.
She wanted to witness all his fate.
Looking back, I saw a familiar figure not far away slowly walking away.
It was Liu Yuan.
There were mixed expressions in Shi Qinghuan's eyes, but they didn't show it.
He followed Bailiheng back to the Zen room to find the files, and then returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered the room, Shi Qinghuan let out a long sigh and drank a few sips of tea before suppressing the turmoil in his stomach.
Bailiheng looked at her with some unbearable eyes.
"Some things you don't have to see with your own eyes."
"No, I have to see it. I will see everything that Miaotong can't see."
"Then about Sun Meng, do you have to come in person?"
"Before, I borrowed a knife to kill people because I didn't have the status to do it myself. Now that I have it, I will definitely do it myself."
Knowing that he couldn't defeat Shi Qinghuan, Bailiheng nodded helplessly.
"That's fine! But I must know everything that follows."
"That's natural. Even if you don't tell me, I will tell you everything!"
"It's not urgent. Please answer me a question first."
"Sir, please speak."
"Lu Shangshu, do you look good?"
ah?
Shi Qinghuan dropped the file in his hand and almost bit his tongue.
He looked at Bailiheng in disbelief, "Is there something wrong with my ears?"
What question is Bailiheng asking?
Unexpectedly, Bailiheng looked serious, "I said, Lu Shangshu, is he good-looking?"
Turns out to be serious.
But asking this question...
Shi Qinghuan couldn't figure it out.
But he could only nod his head, "It looks good!"
Bailiheng's breath deepened, "Is this the person you like?"
Shi Qinghuan's eyes widened, he coughed several times, and even stepped forward and reached out to touch Bailiheng's forehead.
"Sir, you're not sick either, so why are you talking nonsense?"
"Why am I talking nonsense? Outside the meditation room, you stared at Lu Shangshu for a long time!"
Just because of this?
Shi Qinghuan didn't know how to express his speechlessness for a moment.
He had to explain with a wry smile, "I see him because he is Sister Shuxue's husband!"
Xu Shuxue, Shi Qinghuan’s former close friend.
Upon hearing this, the cold air on Bailiheng's body disappeared completely, and Shi Qinghuan continued, "Sister Shuxue and Sister Miaotong are both friends, and I know them too. They have been trapped in the mansion before and have never seen her husband. Since I saw you today, I naturally want to take a second look."
Moreover, she just looked at it. Why was Bailiheng so angry?
As if he could see the meaning in Shi Qinghuan's eyes, Bailiheng coughed lightly, "I just want to remind you, don't let the love between children delay important matters."
"Don't worry, sir. In my heart right now, the only thing I want to do is find out the truth. I will never think about my children's affair."
Bailiheng's expression changed slightly, as if he didn't mean it that way, but he hesitated and didn't say the next words.
In the end, there was only a sigh, "Please sort out the dossier evidence. I have to go find Lu Shangshu."
"good."
Bailiheng turned around and left, and Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but shrugged.
Bailiheng seems a little weird now.
Not too lazy to think about it, Shi Qinghuan started organizing the files according to the previous plan.
When it was noon, Bailiheng still hadn't come back, but there were guests in the courtyard.
Shi Qinghuan walked out of the room and saw a beautiful figure standing in the courtyard.
The brocade clothes are elegant, the face is gentle, and the aura around her body is as soft as water, with dignity and courtesy.
Shi Qinghuan's eyes lit up and he stepped forward quickly.
"Dare to ask..."
Without waiting for Shi Qinghuan to ask, the maid behind the woman spoke up, "I have met Master Su. My lady is Princess Xianyun of Sushanghou Mansion. She came here specifically to pay homage to Mr. Zuo Xiang."
Princess Xianyun.
Couldn't it be that she is Bailiheng's baby relative?
Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but froze for a moment, then hurriedly saluted, "I've met the princess, but you went out earlier and haven't come back yet."
"That's it."
Princess Xianyun smiled tenderly, took out a letter from the maid's hand, and handed it over, "Then Master Lao Su will help me deliver this letter to him."
"Okay, don't worry, Princess, I will definitely leave it in your hands!"
"Good work!"
Princess Xianyun turned around and left. Shi Qinghuan looked at her back and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
From this point of view, Princess Xianyun and Bailiheng do match each other.
His eyes fell on the letter, and after his expression moved slightly, he turned and entered the room.
When Bailiheng came back, it was already nightfall, and Shi Qinghuan had packed up the things he needed.
When he came in despite the cold wind, he thoughtfully handed him a cup of hot tea.
The movements are very skillful.
"We'll clean up later. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the city."
"No more sacrifices?"
"First the priest went crazy, and then crows pecked the corpse. It's like this. It's not appropriate to continue."
"Also, where is Sun Meng?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked you to come over. After I return to Kyoto, I will go to the prison of the Supervision Department. Now, I will be at your mercy."
"Who said my goal is just Sun Meng?"
Shi Qinghuan raised his lips and smiled, "Sir, do you want to catch another fish?"
Bailiheng looked at Shi Qinghuan, as if everything was as expected. He put down the tea cup and leaned lazily to one side, waiting for Shi Qinghuan's follow-up.
Shi Qinghuan continued, "Sir, are you interested in the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"You want to take action against Zhao Shu?"
"That's right, Sir, please accept the position of Minister of Household Affairs!"
Bailiheng smiled helplessly, "Are you so anxious?"
"It's just a matter of convenience."
"Is it really just a matter of convenience? I'm afraid that from the moment you knew what happened to Shi Miaotong, all of this was part of your plan!"
"Now that we've come this far, why do you need to compliment me so much? After all, don't you know all my plans? I owe a lot of credit to you for being able to complete them so easily!"
This is not a lie. All of Shi Qinghuan's plans are inseparable from Bailiheng, and he did secretly help a lot.
Those things that she can see or cannot see, she probably knows deep down in her heart.
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, I won't say these words in the future. How far are you going to go with Sun Meng's role?"
"As long as he reaches Zhao Shu, he will be useless from now on."
"If you are of no use, then lend me a hand."
Shi Qinghuan looked at Bailiheng in surprise.
She had investigated everything about Sun Meng and planned it, but she couldn't think of any other uses for it.
Bailiheng looked at Shi Qinghuan and reminded, "There are many other people's eyes and ears among the Forbidden Army."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Qinghuan understood.
"It's indeed a good time to pull out your eyeliner."
Her plans had always been centered around Cheng Yangfeng's obvious interests, but she had forgotten those that were hidden.
If such an important presence of the Forbidden Army was eliminated, it would have a big impact on Cheng Yangfeng.
"Have you thought about how to bring Zhao Shu into the game?"
Shi Qinghuan came to his senses and then smiled, "The method is very simple, but... it's a bit shameless!"
