Shan'er successfully attracted Jin Yiwei's attention. By the time Ji Qianli realized that he had been fooled, they had already chased Shan'er for a long distance.
"Damn it."
Ji Qianli cursed, stared at Shan'er who was kneeling on one knee with a stab wound in front of him and asked: "Quickly tell me, where are the other three people?"
"snort."
Shan'er sneered, and without saying a word, he stabbed himself with a sword. Neither Xiaoqi had time to stop him, and the other party turned into a mute corpse.
They also looked troubled and looked at Ji Qianli one after another and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Ji Qianli pondered for a long time and sighed softly: "You continue to chase down the path. Since these thieves are from Hengshan, they will definitely go west."
This is the conclusion drawn by inertial thinking. Hengshan is to the west of Zhili. They took the Nanshan Immortal along this route before. They were probably planning to go to Hengshan to avoid trouble.
Thinking of this, Ji Qianli ordered again: "Remember, chase if you can. If they have been protected by Hengshan, there is no need to force them. They can send a letter for help."
If the Hengshan sect really sends out masters to stop them, with one general flag and two small flags, they are naturally no match. Their superiors will handle it when the time comes.
"I humbly accept my order!" the two flags responded.
"You go, I will take the body back first and inform all the adults about this." Ji Qianli took Shan'er's body and returned to the capital. This matter was caused by him accidentally noticing the gap. How to fill it, he still had to The decision comes from above.
Ji Qianli couldn't help but sigh when he thought about how much trouble he had caused in his eagerness to seek credit this time.
A few days later, Ji Qianli returned to the capital. The tense atmosphere in the city had greatly eased. The Jin Yiwei had withdrawn their troops from the streets, and everyone was quietly relieved.
When he returned to the Zhenfusi Yamen, Ji Qianli could clearly feel that the Jin Yiwei brothers here also had a relaxed look on their faces.
The reason is very simple. Jin Yiwei is acting under the emperor's orders. Naturally, the things assigned by the emperor must be given priority. Now that Nanshan Immortal is in prison, everyone can feel at ease.
As for the rest, they are all trivial details, such as the Jianping Society or the disciples of Hengshan. Except for Mr. Lu who would be interested in such things, other adults are too lazy to take a second look.
Ji Qianli's report was handed all the way to the top, Mr. Lu. Looking at what was described above, Lu Hanjiang took a pen and circled the word "Hengshan": "Hengshan Sect"
Cui Yixiao, who was sitting at the bottom, was the person in charge of the case this time. When he heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Sir, the Hengshan sect is so out of control that they sent disciples to block the imperial court from doing things. They must be taught a lesson this time."
"How to give?"
Lu Hanjiang put away the written report, looked at Cui Yixiao and said, "Just a nameless disciple? If you drag the body to Hengshan, it doesn't matter if they don't recognize it."
"this"
Cui Yixiao was in trouble. Jin Yiwei acted in the world and could be unscrupulous secretly, but if they wanted to avoid causing chaos when doing things openly, they had to follow the rules. In other words, they had to be famous.
As Lu Hanjiang said, the dead Shan'er was a man of few words. Who in the world knew that such a high-ranking figure was a nobody. So what if the Hengshan sect refused to acknowledge him until death? The Jin Yiwei could not produce convincing evidence.
The result of force can only make all the factions in the world feel bitter and force them all to work together to deal with the Jin Yiwei. This is not what Lu Hanjiang wants to see.
At this moment, Cui Yixiao heard Lu Hanjiang ask again: "Do you have any clues about the whereabouts of the other three people?"
Cui Yixiao stood up hurriedly and said with shame: "My lord, please forgive me. I am humble and incompetent. There is no news at the moment."
Lu Hanjiang looked at him and took out another document, which was the whole story Liu Laosan had explained in the village. He used a pen to draw a circle on the three words "Miss Shi" on it.
"Send more people to investigate. You don't even think about how many surnames the Hengshan sect can have. That girl is the key. As long as she is caught, the Hengshan sect will not be able to escape the involvement."
Lu Hanjiang said: "Shi Suxue is a close disciple of Shi Jiuning, the former head of the Hengshan Sect. Everyone knows this. If we capture her, we will have the biggest leverage of the Hengshan Sect. We don't have to worry about our disciple being unknown."
Sometimes with Suxue in hand, they can hold the Hengshan sect accountable, and whether it is directly asking for conditions, or sending troops to settle the matter, there will be an explanation.
Even if the Hengshan sect's ancestral tombs are smoking, there is still a ruthless person like Shang Jidao. A strong man can cut off his wrist with determination. Lu Hanjiang also has a back-up plan, which is to directly use Shi Suxue's name as a banner to push her forward on the pretext of bringing order to chaos. In the name of ascending to the throne, he directly killed all the "rebels" in Hengshan in the process, once and for all.
"I understand my humble position, sir, please rest assured!" Cui Yixiao responded and stepped back.
After coming out of the commander's office, Cui Yixiao met Bian Guang. He didn't have a good expression at the moment. He just said hello stiffly: "Master Bian, are you here to see the commander?"
Don't blame him for not having a good look. Although Lu Hanjiang didn't scold him for being incompetent, if the current pace continues, Cui Yixiao will not be far away from being scolded.
The logic of officialdom is that whoever is in power is responsible. Ji Qianli lost track of the thief, Cui Yixiao can scold people, and for the same reason, when Mr. Lu scolds him in the future, he will have nothing to say.
Seeing that Cui Yixiao had a bad expression, Bian Guang naturally knew why, but he still smiled and stepped forward and said, "I'm here to find Mr. Cui. Please take a step to speak."
Cui Yixiao followed him to the side with a sullen face, and Bian Guang said apologetically: "This incident of Ji Zongqi is the trouble I caused to Brother Cui. I will apologize first."
After saying that, Bian Guang bowed and bowed, his attitude could be described as sincere.
"What did Brother Bian say? Please get up." Cui Yixiao's face softened a little, and he held up a hand and said: "You and my colleagues, although the matter of Ji Zongqi is annoying, it will not hinder Brother Bian after all."
"Brother Cui is grand and has a chest as broad as the sea. I admire you." Seeing that the other party relaxed, Bian Guang felt relieved and talked to the other party about the Hengshan Sect's involvement in the Nanshan Immortal case. The two of them walked and talked, The atmosphere has relaxed a lot.
On the other side, Ji Qianli, who knew he was in trouble, waited nervously for several days in the capital for news, but in the end there was no punishment from his superiors.
Ji Qianli knew that it was Bian Guang who had contributed, and wanted to say thank you, but at this moment he felt ashamed and was too embarrassed to see him. He thought of immediately going to the west to search for people and make up for his fault.
Before leaving, he planned to go back home to meet his sweetheart, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, several troublesome people came to his home.
"Senior Sister Pei! You're not dead! That's great!" Shuang'er said in surprise, holding Pei Xia's hand.
Although Shan'er and Shuang'er were orphans brought back by Jiuning when they were in charge, their talents were limited. Like Pei Xia, they were both outer disciples, but Pei Xia entered the school a few years earlier than them. On weekdays, these two junior sisters They also take care of each other, so their relationship has always been good.
"Shuang'er, hello," Pei Xia touched Shuang'er's head, and then looked at Shi Suxue with a complicated expression: "Junior sister is here too."
"Senior Sister Pei" Shi Suxue also didn't know how to speak. After the battle of the Five Sacred Mountains Conference, she had always felt guilty about the "death" of her senior sister. She thought she had a lot to say, but she actually saw that the other party was still alive. , but couldn’t say a word.
