"Wu Bing is a stubborn person..." Lian Ji's eyes dimmed as she spoke, still in the sadness of losing her old lover, "Six years ago, I tried to persuade him, but in order to capture the elusive truth, He still stubbornly stayed.”
The tripartite forces...
Xu Zhen secretly analyzed in his mind: the official represented by Fang Wubing, the mysterious organization that Fang Wubing joined, and the person or organization that once stole the rusty knife.
The key to this case is the rusty knife!
Although the Rusty Knife was the saber of the founding emperor, it was just a saber. Logically speaking, it shouldn't arouse so many people's concerns.
Could it be...that there really is some secret in this knife?
"What happened next?" Dongfang Meiyan seemed to realize something, and immediately asked with a melancholy face, "What happened next?"
"Originally," Lian Ji replied, "Fang Wubing's arrest and imprisonment and his stay in the county jail were all part of the original plan. My superiors also arranged for the corresponding people to enter the jail for close surveillance and protection. Just waiting for someone to take the bait.
"But... something big happened during the second year of Wu Yi's imprisonment... Alas..."
Lian Ji lamented and shook her head helplessly.
"I see," Dongfang Meiyan nodded and asked, "So... does it affect your affairs?"
Um?
Xu Zhen was confused and hurriedly searched his memory, but quickly found the answer.
It turns out that the second year after Fang Wubing was imprisoned was the first year of Changle, which was when Xuanxinzong died and the new emperor Li Xin ascended the throne.
Although Xuanxinzong Li Xing was sixty-one years old, he had always been in good health. His death was so sudden that the prince Li Xin, who was only twelve years old at the time, was unprepared. This led to factional disputes in the DPRK and China, leading to today's chaos.
Since Fang Wubing was entrusted by the new sect, the death of the previous emperor and the ascension of the new emperor would naturally have an impact on his mission.
"It's not influence, it's destruction..." Lian Ji said, "Since the death of the late emperor, I have never contacted my superiors again."
"You...who is your superior?" Dongfang Meiyan asked hurriedly.
"Although we are all internal guards," Lianji said, "but because we are completing a top-secret mission, we all operate according to secret orders. I have never met my superiors.
"The line is broken!" Lian Ji said, "The people around her have withdrawn from their posts one after another and disappeared. There is no one monitoring the county prison."
"Is there such a thing?" Dongfang Meiyan was shocked, "That Fang Wubing is really an undercover agent. Wouldn't he be unable to turn over forever? Who else knew about this at the beginning?"
"In addition to the late emperor, there are also the healthy master Yue Jinglei and the late emperor's close associates. However, Yue Daxia has long since passed away, and the late emperor's close associates don't know who they are..."
"Then..." Dongfang Meiyan said, "Why don't you contact your current superiors in the Internal Guard Mansion, or write directly to the Holy Emperor?"
"Of course not," Lian Ji said, "If you think about it, you will know that the people involved in the secret order are disappearing one after another, and it is not as simple as withdrawing from their posts.
“I can feel that most of them won’t survive!
"In the past four years, I have lived in fear every day, fearing that I might lose my life someday."
"It's like this..." Dongfang Meiyan frowned, her face gloomy, obviously thinking of something more terrifying.
Although Xu Zhen didn't understand the court, he could still imagine that the problem had become extremely serious!
The prison robbery incident before us is just the tip of the iceberg!
If Lian Ji didn't lie, then it was very likely that Fang Wubing's status as an undercover agent had already been exposed.
The mysterious organization that Fang Wubing joined, or the person who stole the rusty knife, had already ascended the throne through the new emperor, cutting off all connections with Fang Wubing.
The former wanted to find the rusty knife through Fang Wubing, while the latter wanted to find the batch of goods in Wanfeng Bank through Fang Wubing.
Therefore, the organization that wants to torture Fang Wubing with his words and deeds, whether it is the former or the latter, must be a super powerful force.
They can even be so powerful that they can cut off the late emperor's secret organization!
"Then..." Dongfang Meiyan thought for a long time before asking the key question again, "Where are the things that Fang Wubing snatched from Wanfeng Bank back then?"
"Of course it was hidden by Fang Wubing himself!" Dongfang Meiyan said, "If he wants to use himself as bait to lure out these two groups, he must have the ability to negotiate.
"On the one hand, the mysterious organization doesn't know if there are any rusty knives in that batch of goods, so it will definitely come to Fang Wubing;
"On the other hand, that batch of goods is very important to the owner of the goods, and he will also come to Fang Wubing."
"What about the gold Buddha's head?" Dongfang Meiyan asked, "What about the gold Buddha's head?"
"I don't know either," Lian Ji said, "but I can guess a rough idea.
"After Fang Wubing was arrested, although I didn't dare to see him directly, I kept asking for relevant information from the side. I guess that when the robbery was carried out, an accomplice took advantage of him and took away the items in the vault. Buddha head gold bar!
"Fang Wubing might not know that, so the gold Buddha's head was left on the body..."
"Oh..." Dongfang Meiyan took over, "The government has never found Fang Wubing's accomplices. It must be a mysterious organization that disposed of their bodies. In other words..."
Lao Li and his group are that mysterious organization!
The following words were spoken by Xu Zhen in his heart.
"The people who kidnapped Fang Wubing chanted the slogans of Tianxuan Sect and rebelled against the party," Dongfang Meiyan still said, "Could it be that these people who want to get the rusty knife are Tianxuan who rebel against the party?"
Xu Zhen didn't speak, because he felt that the jailers and spies said this sentence a little deliberately, but it was like lines prepared in advance.
"It is possible," Lian Ji said, "The Imperial Guard has always regarded the Tianxuan rebels as their number one enemy. Moreover, it is said that Emperor Taizu had some conflicts with the founder of Xuan Dao.
"I wonder, does the secret in that rusty knife have something to do with this?
"Otherwise, who would care about that knife except the royal family?"
No way?
Xu Zhen instinctively thought of "The Legend of Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying". The Nine Yin Scriptures were hidden in the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Knife. So what would Emperor Taizu Li Xuanzhen hide in his sword?
Could it be that... there is a contract to share the world equally with others?
"Lianji," Dongfang Meiyan asked, "the reason why you said you were sorry for Fang Wubing..."
"It's because I can't help him!" Lian Ji's eyes filled with tears again, "The enemy must be extremely powerful. If I go to the Imperial Guard or the emperor, then not only will I not be able to save Wu Yi, but I will die in vain.
"Death is not terrible, but what is terrible is that the enemy will definitely torture me and demand a confession from me.
"Maybe the reason why I'm still alive now is just because my superiors didn't betray me!
"You two," she slumped down on her seat and said, "I have told you everything I know. After today, I will most likely become a dead person!
"However, as you said, if you are disease-free and dead, my life has no meaning anymore..."
As she said that, she looked at Dongfang Meiyan and Xu Zhen strangely.
This glance immediately made the atmosphere extremely tense.
Obviously, Lian Ji suspected that there was a bad guy among the two of them! ! !
