Chapter 1711 Because of Autumn

Lin Youxie has a special identity.

She is the only remaining descendant of the four major Qingpai families.

The four great Qingpai families that once flourished were the earliest cores of the Qingpai system.Flying across the Eastern Regions with the green card, arresting illegals, catching all the thieves, and becoming famous!
To this day, the Metropolitan Inspection Office is the absolute core of the Qingpai system.The captain of the Beiya was personally ordered by the Son of Heaven, and he was in charge of the prefectures. His words and deeds truly represented the will of the entire Qingpai system.With a low official rank, he became the core of power in Linzi City.

Lin, Li, Wu, and Cheng, these four brilliant surnames have faded away in the flood of history.

Uriel and Li Yougui, the only remaining powerful gods, died one after another.

If the former dies, there is still honor and name to make up for it.The latter died, but was punished by guilt.

The last afterglow of the Qingpai family disappeared.

As the orphan of a generation of famous arresting Lin Kuang, Lin Youxie also chose to leave Qi State after Feng Gu's case and went to Sanxing Palace for further study.

Jiang Wang couldn't think much about her loss of contact.

So why did he come to Beiya in person, why did he look into Zheng Shangming's eyes.

Of course he understands that with the current pattern of Emperor Qi, he can fully accommodate the next Lin Youxie who abandons his country.Even if the descendants of the Qingpai family were as guilty as Li, they already hated Qi Ting deeply, thinking that the Jiang Dynasty had lost the Qingpai family.Even Lin Youxie, the only remaining descendant of the Qingpai family, has a good chance of becoming a weapon of public opinion in other countries.

Since Emperor Qi gave Lin Kuang and Wu Lie honorable names, he would not do anything to Lin Youxie again.What he fell is the son of Qingshan, and he won't worry about the ruthlessness of the corners here.

But Jiang Wang had no confidence in the Queen of Da Qi.

After all, he was a big man who dared to commit murder under the eyes of the emperor and smother all clues in the past.After all, she could do it, throwing a father's body in front of his young daughter.

Whether it is resolute or ruthless, Jiang Wang thought in his heart, 'Wang is not like the mother of the country'.

Of course, it is not unusual for the current queen to be able to hold the position of the head of the harem in the Daqi court, to stand for many years, to be respected by the emperor, and to be highly respected and loved by the court and the opposition.

What Jiang Wang saw and saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

It's just this corner that makes him feel cold...

Zheng Shangming quickly listed the whereabouts of Lin Youxie as the top priority of the inspection office. Among the many disappearance cases, the priority was mentioned the highest.

Then he said to Jiang Wang, "Go to my room and have a seat and talk about this in detail."

Judging from Zheng Shangming's performance, he should be unaware of Lin Youxie's disappearance, and even he himself has some disturbing speculations.

But the Qingpai catchers are a group of guys who are sensitive and subtle, and Zheng Shangming has a family background.Jiang Wang was not sure about his judgment.

So he just said calmly: "Okay."

The two quickly left the Beiya hall and came to the room where Zheng Shangming worked independently.

The room layout is simple.

A scroll of portraits of the dharma beast Xiezhi hangs on the front wall, with vivid brushstrokes and a majestic aura.

Before this huge portrait is a bookcase full of files.There were only two chairs in the sixteen-foot-square room, one in front of the desk and one behind the desk.

The wall on the right side of the bookcase is completely blank, and the wall on the left is covered with various drawings.Some depict people, some depict crime scenes, all of which are detailed and immersive.

Speaking of painters, there is also a bias in the contemporary school.For example, the painters of Taoism and Confucianism mostly focus on freehand brushwork.The painter of the art of war ink is more realistic.The painters of the Shi family did not have a fixed impression.

Of course, this is not absolute, but the mainstream style is roughly the same.

Bai Gexiao, the dean of Qingya Academy, painted a long scroll of "One Stream Begins to Enter a Thousand Flowers". The flowers are different and each has a beautiful appearance. It is still regarded as the pinnacle of realism.

But the painters of Qingya Academy have always been freehand.

Back to Zheng Shangming.

His painting skills are quite satisfactory, not good or bad, at least someone Jiang can't appreciate it.I can only see the care in a single stroke, the corners of the painting, and there are slips of paper filled with notes.

The time he spent in handling the case is clearly reflected in these real details.

Zheng Shangming closed the doors and windows, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."

He strode to the front of the book desk and neatly packed the files.Classified and meticulously organized.

It's hard to imagine that he used to hate the green card job so much.

Now he sits down in front of the long bookcase, and after gathering all the files, there is an undisguised heaviness between his brows.After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Brother Jiang, when was the last time you saw Lin Youxie?"

"In early May, in Lushuang County." Jiang Wang said clearly: "At that time, she said she was going to the Sanxing Palace for further studies. After that, I didn't contact you again. Until a while ago, when I came back from the grassland, I wrote a letter to Sanxing Palace, asked her some questions. As a result, the letter was returned intact, saying that there was no such person."

"Is there any misunderstanding at the Three Punishment Palace? I mean, is it possible for her to study in some important place, or is it possible that ordinary San Pu Gong disciples do not know that she went to the San Pu Gong Palace?" Zheng Shangming continued to ask road.

"Probably not. But I've asked someone to confirm it again." Jiang Wang said.

Zheng Shangming said: "Okay. I will select the elite Qingpai to track down the whereabouts, and I will also focus on looking for it from Lushuang County. The intelligence network of the Qingpai system will not be retained. But you still need to be mentally prepared, the time has passed. For a long time, it is difficult to trace the traces in Lushuang County. This is probably a long-term process..."

Jiang Wang just said: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Zheng Shangming waved his hand, hesitating.

Jiang Wang said: "Brother Shang Ming, if you have something to say, you may speak bluntly."

Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment, then said, "If..."

After hesitating for a while, he continued: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

He didn't say "what if", but both sides understood.

After all, the death case of the chief eunuch Feng Gushen in the Palace of Longevity was the investigation they started together with Lin Youxie.

They were well aware of all the changes that occurred during the period.They have all the important clues in the case.It was also in this case that it was determined that they were different from each other and could not become close friends.

That huge shadow never only shrouded Lin Youxie alone.

It's just that some people die, some people keep silent, and some people do what they can.

'If Lin Youxie was really killed by the current queen, like her dead father and dead grandfather Uriel, have you thought about what you would do? '

This is the question that Zheng Shangming failed to really ask.

This question is too serious and too serious.

Therefore, Jiang Wang also thought about it for a while, and then said slowly: "Until the result is confirmed, I don't know what I will do."

He may have another answer in his heart, but he doesn't have to tell Zheng Shangming, nor will he tell Zheng Shangming.

But even this answer still silenced Zheng Shangming.

Faced with such a terrifying shadow, how could your answer be "I don't know"?

I don't know, which means that there is still a great possibility of impulsiveness.

However, in the face of such existence, how can you be impulsive?If the Son of Heaven is said to be the great sun, then the Empress is the next day, and the rest are just stars.You are the youngest military marquis in Qi, what can you do? !

But Zheng Shangming also understood.

This is where Jiang Wang is different from him.

So he was silent.

After a long time, he barely calmed down: "I don't think so. It's just that we can't get in touch now. There are too many possibilities for this matter, and I don't think we are so easy to encounter the worst possibility. "

Jiang Wang said: "Yeah. Maybe she was just tired of Qi, and at the same time she wanted to distance herself from my old friend, so she wandered the world silently. This is not something that is difficult to understand."

"It's very possible." Zheng Shangming also tried to make his tone lighter: "I know Lin Zhaotou, the kind of person who doesn't look obvious, but has a lot of ideas in his heart. And fix the law.”

People with green cards hanging around their waists are really not suitable for making optimistic speculations.Because they tend to start from the worst-case scenario.

The two were silent for a while.

"Shang Ming." Jiang Wang suddenly said.

"You said." Zheng Shangming looked at him.

Jiang Wang's voice was very serious: "It can be fruitless, but you can't lie to me."

Zheng Shangming paused and nodded seriously: "I understand."

He knew very well that if he deceived Jiang Wang this time, he would not even have to do it as an ordinary friend in the future.

So he acted very cautiously.

But what he knew better was...

If necessary, he will.

This "necessary" refers to the will of the emperor today.

This is the path he has long chosen.

Beyond that, he was willing to do his part as a friend.

It is really sad to have to say what a friend should be under this kind of limitation.

However, he has been doing a mediocre effort, where does he have the qualification to say "I don't know what I will do"?He is different from Jiang Wang.He has to know what he's going to do, he has to know what he can and can't do.

These are necessities, not the necessities of being born human.

But it is necessary for the position of [Beijing Commander].

Zheng Shi has been standing for many years, and the experience passed down after leaving office is only the word "loyalty".

……

……

The light turns like a shuttle, and the shadow of the sun flies.

Three full days have passed since the capital inspection house and his party.

It has been confirmed again in the three palaces of punishment, and there is no such person as Lin Youxie in the three palaces: Guitian Palace, Judi Palace, and Xingren Palace.Lin Youxie had never been to Tianxing Cliff.

There was even a man named Zhuo Qingru in the Palace of Three Punishments, and he personally replied with a letter to confirm the matter with Jiang Wang.

It was also confirmed in the letter that there was indeed a place for a true inheritance in the Judi Palace, and it was once agreed to arrest Wu Lie in recognition of his innovation in autopsy methods.Later, this position was also transferred by Uriel to a person named Lin Youxie.

But Lin Youxie had never reported to the Sanxing Palace.

For Jiang Wang, what this news confirms is that Lin Youxie does have the possibility of going to the Third Punishment Palace, which is in line with the plan described by Lin Youxie when they separated.

From this, it can be inferred that Lin Youxie's disappearance is most likely against her own wishes.

In other words, Lin Youxie is likely to have an accident...

On the Beiya side, after three days of investigation, no useful news came.

With Qi Guoqing's powerful intelligence ability, he could not find any trace of Lin Youxie at all.After May, she seemed to be completely out of this world...disappeared.

"Wharf, Bianjun, overseas. We've all sent people to investigate... If Lin Chaitou is determined not to let anyone find her, with her ability, she can do it."

In the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Zheng Shangming considered his words and said slowly, "I mean, there may be such a possibility."

"Okay, I see, I've troubled you for the past two days." Jiang Wang got up and said.

Zheng Shangming had to stand up: "Beiya will not give up tracking, I will notify you as soon as there is news."

"Okay. It's hard work." Jiang Wang said calmly.

Zheng Shangming looked at him, but he couldn't say anything, so he said goodbye.

Specifically in this matter, did Zheng Shangming have any intentions to find someone?He must have searched carefully, and even spread the net overseas.

But even Qingpai, who has poor handling skills like Jiang Wang, knows that to investigate a missing person, he must start from two clues.

One is the action trajectory of the missing person, and the other is the social relationship of the missing person.

Zheng Shangming went to check the wharf, Bianjun, and overseas.

Would he dare to investigate the Tian family where there is a huge suspicion?At the Queen's place, does he dare to check?

Let alone a thorough investigation, Zheng Shangming couldn't even extend it in that direction.

Jiang Wang didn't want to ask Zheng Shangming to explore in that terrifying shadow, he just realized after three days of waiting that this is all Zheng Shangming can do.

It is true that the disappearance of Lin Youxie may not be related to the current queen. So far, there is no clue to link them together.But with such a natural black wall standing, Zheng Shangming didn't even dare to take a look there, so it was doomed to be impossible to find out any results.

So he just thanked him and said nothing else.

For the use of the power of the green card, this is the end.

Even if you go to Yang Weitong, the new Beiya commander, it will not be any different from Zheng Shangming.

Jiang Wang didn't give himself time for hesitation and loss. He said goodbye to Zheng Shangming on the front foot, and went out the door alone on the back foot.

Without any cover, he flew to Lushuang County.

In Qi State, it was difficult for him to hide from the eyes of those who cared about it, and he simply showed his own attitude - he wanted to find Lin Youxie in person.

It is true that his ability to find traces is ordinary, and it can even be said that he is a complete layman.

But besides him, before the black wall that might be touched, who else would go to Lin Youxie?

Besides himself, who else would dare to take it seriously and do his best for it?

The last time I met Lin Youxie was in Lushuang County, in an inaccessible jungle.At that time, I came here because I was looking for Fourteen.

He asked Lin Youxie to help him for Chongxuansheng. Lin Youxie agreed without saying a word. As expected, he was the first to find someone without any clues and pulled the nearly collapsed Chongxuansheng out of the sea of ​​misery. .

Now that Lin Youxie is missing, who can find her?

Walking through the jungle, the birds are frightened.

The call is hoarse and noisy.

Today, when I revisit the old place, I see the yellow leaves of the thin tree, which is quite different from the old days.

The glade is still there, the two opposite cross branches are still there.

It's just that the open space is full of remnants of leaves, and the horizontal branches are bare and thin...

All seem lonely.

Jiang Wang thought to himself that it was because of the autumn.
