I made the villain right.
Chapter 168: More Than One Person is Unlucky
Overnight, rumors spread among the secret guards of the Second Hospital that the dean had a secret meeting with someone in the middle of the night.
The next day, after Luo Yi woke up, he checked and recorded the accounts in the accounting office as usual.
But Mu Ning, who was standing beside her, looked at her for a long time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Yi couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked her: "Mu Ning, do you have anything to say?"
Mu Ning felt that her thoughts were seen through, so she answered truthfully: "Dean, what did you do last night?"
Mu Ning's question brought Luo Yi's thoughts back to the memories of last night.
The scene of her and Shi Sheng together last night appeared in her mind, vividly.
She felt that her reputation was ruined and she felt like she was about to explode.
Seeing that she was silent and her face was uncertain, Mu Ning asked with concern: "Dean, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Yi calmed down a bit, then asked, "Why did you ask me what I did last night?"
Mu Ning thought for a moment before speaking: "There are rumors in the hospital that the dean had a tryst with a dark-skinned guard last night. He said that you have a strange taste."
Luo Yi's eyes were filled with gloom, and then he laughed angrily and argued: "What do you mean by dark-skinned? That's obviously..."
She stopped talking halfway when she realized that the point was not here.
However, Mu Ning saw the flaw in this point and realized that the rumor was not groundless.
After Luo Yi regained his balance, he frowned, clenched the account in his hand, and said, "Okay, you dare to spread gossip about me, I think they are too idle to be healthy."
Now she had no intention of working, so she walked out of the accounting office after saying this.
Afterwards, he gathered all the secret guards in the courtyard and sent them to the Bugui Valley for training.
There are many dangerous checkpoints in the Valley of No Return. It is a place specially used by Fengyun Pavilion to train killers. Only those who have broken through all the levels are qualified to become a killer of Fengyun Pavilion. Therefore, all the killers of Fengyun Pavilion have experienced life and death here.
There is only one entrance and exit to the Valley of No Return. Once the level is activated, there is no way to return. You can only get out after passing all the checkpoints.
When Luo Yi led his men to the Valley of No Return, there was quite a big fuss. On the way to the back mountain, they attracted the attention of people from other courtyards.
In addition to being the head of the five colleges, Yunchuan is also responsible for supervising each college.
Seeing this, Yunchuan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Yi glanced at him and replied calmly, "They are too idle and have been neglecting their training. I should take them out to stretch their muscles today."
After she finished speaking, she continued to lead everyone forward.
Yunchuan didn't stop him.
The dean has the right to manage the secret guards of each academy. As long as they don’t do anything that is detrimental to the interests of Fengyun Pavilion, he will not say much.
After everyone arrived at the Valley of No Return, Luo Yi began to explain.
"I heard that you all have the time to make fun of me. I guess you have been too lazy recently and neglected to practice martial arts. Let's practice in the Bugui Valley today. We must reach the valley entrance before dark."
The dark guards below said in unison: "We obey your orders." Then they entered the canyon in an orderly manner.
Among the crowd, the five secret guards who patrolled last night entered the depths of the canyon with bitter faces, and immediately felt regretful.
Mu Ning stood beside Luo Yi and muttered, "Rumors are not to be believed. At first glance, there is no one with a dark complexion in our courtyard. Could it be that he is from another courtyard?"
Hearing this, Luo Yi glanced at her and threatened: "Mu Ning, I think you need to go in too."
Mu Ning's expression froze when he heard this, then he showed a dry smile and refused, "Dean, I won't go."
Mu Ning thought of something, so he reported to her: "Dean, Madam's brother didn't come today."
"Hmm," Luo Yi responded indifferently.
In fact, I have a lot of thoughts in my mind.
Why didn't he come today?
Could it be that I frightened him away last night because of my embarrassing behavior?
However, Shi Sheng was currently catching up on sleep in his room.
It wasn't just the secret guards from the Second Hospital who were unlucky today; Shi Wei wasn't doing well either.
When Shi Wei woke up, he found that his throat was hoarse and he couldn't speak, which scared him a lot.
I recalled what happened last night and looked at the jar of wine on the ground. Suddenly, I felt like I was awakened from a dream.
There is poison in this wine, it made him mute!
He hurried to find Ran Ke, and when he saw Ran Ke preparing herbs in the pharmacy, he rushed in.
As he couldn't speak but wanted to express that his throat was hoarse, he pointed at his throat and gestured, his expression was particularly vivid.
Ran Ke found this a bit funny.
"What's going on here?"
After Shi Wei gestured for a while, Ran Ke probably understood what he meant, so he asked, "Does your throat feel uncomfortable?"
Shi Wei nodded.
Shi Wei was too lazy to gesture, as it would make him look stupid.
He looked around the pharmacy, as if looking for something. After his eyes settled on the paper, ink, brush and inkstone on the desk, he immediately walked over and wrote a sentence.
Seeing this, Ran Ke curiously moved to the desk and watched what he was writing.
After stopping writing, there was a sentence written on the paper.
The wine is poisonous. My throat has been poisoned and I can't speak. Please, Brother Ran, help me with the treatment.
Ran Ke's eyes were wandering and he touched his nose guiltily.
Shi Wei never thought that he was being treated as a guinea pig.
This wine was a new product he had just brewed, and Shi Wei happened to be craving for wine so he gave it to him.
But he was sure that the wine was not poisonous. He had tasted it before and it just tasted a little spicy.
I never thought he would have such a reaction after drinking it.
Ran Ke smiled and said: "There is no poison in this wine, you must have drunk too much."
He then asked, "How much did you drink?"
Shi Wei wrote: A whole jar
Ran Ke raised his eyebrows and then asked, "What are the symptoms of your throat?"
Shi Wei wrote: It hurts so much
Ran Ke saw that Shi Wei looked nervous, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, General, I will prepare some medicine for you, and you will recover in two or three days."
Shi Wei heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But if he doesn't talk for a few days, he will definitely feel suffocated.
After Wei left the pharmacy, Ran Ke wrote a sentence on a piece of paper: Don't drink too much mute wine. It will burn your throat and make you unable to speak.
The name of the new wine was born.
Kyoto, Prime Minister Qin’s residence.
After the imperial guards searched Jiuqu Alley and nearby streets for a day and a night, they received news that they had not found any suspicious clues.
Qin Yixian became furious when he heard the result.
Yan Cheng, who was temporarily in charge of leading the team, was scolded by him. He dared not breathe or raise his head in front of him, for fear that he would be angry again if he saw him.
The atmosphere in the house fell into depression.
At this moment, a man came in from outside the door to deliver a message and happened to run into the muzzle of the gun.
"His Highness the Fourth Prince has refused to eat or drink in prison recently, and has been clamoring to see Prime Minister Qin."
Qin Yixian was already angry and his face was already ugly, and it became even gloomier because of these words.
He snorted coldly and cursed: "No, he can eat it or not, it's better if he dies."
"Yes," the man took the order and left.
After a moment, Qin Yixian regained some sense and immediately called out to the person who was walking outside the door, "Come back!"
After hearing this, the man turned back and said respectfully, "Prime Minister Qin, do you have any other instructions?"
"What did he want to see me about?"
"His Highness the Fourth Prince wants to go out and visit Miss Yun, and he also wants to know the progress of Prime Minister Qin's investigation."
Qin Yixian was silent for a few seconds. When he spoke again, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and the anger on his face subsided a lot.
He said in a deep voice: "Tell the Fourth Prince that his life and Miss Yun's life are in my hands. If he makes trouble, he will be able to see Miss Yun's body in seven days. If I want to see him, I will invite him. If not, he can only stay in prison obediently."
After the man left, Qin Yixian asked the people around him to leave, and for a moment Qin Yixian was the only one left in the room.
Qin Yixian sat quietly for a while and calmed down the anger in his heart.
They searched the entire Kyoto, even the secret rooms and secret passages, but there was no trace of Fan Hua and Shi Jin, which made him wonder whether the two had already escaped from Kyoto.
Originally, I wanted to use the Sky-shaking Bomb incident to deal with the Yunbo Marquisate, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the outcome will not be satisfactory.
Not long after, Leng Yue came to Prime Minister Qin's residence.
The matter that Prime Minister Qin asked her to investigate has yielded some results, and she is now reporting to him.
When she arrived at the study, she found the door was closed, so she knocked softly.
After a while, I heard someone in the house ask, "What's the matter?"
"Master, the matter you asked me to investigate has already made some progress."
Qin Yixian let Leng Yue in after hearing her voice.
After Leng Yue entered the room, he got straight to the point: "The rumors in Yunshuijian were spread by Bai Yuhei. Someone paid him a high price to instruct him to do it. He claimed that two masked men came to his house. Although he couldn't see their faces, he accidentally overheard that one of the men was named Du Xuan..."
Hearing this, Qin Yixian's eyes became deeper, with a gleam of inquiry in them.
"In that case, the people who ordered him to do so are Du Xuan and Fan Hua."
"I think so," Leng Yue replied.
Then he asked, "What about the other thing?"
It has been verified that Li Muci did play Pai Gow with Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue recently. According to the informant, Fan Yuheng did not return home for a few days during that period. He was playing Pai Gow with Li Muci and owed him a lot of money. Not long after returning, he secretly went to the account office to get money to pay him back, but was chased and beaten by Chen. This matter has spread throughout the mansion. Wei Mingyue also did not return home for two days. In the end, Li Muci sent her back and covered for her."
"In addition, we also took the portraits of Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue to question the informant, and the informant also confirmed that the man and woman we saw that day were them."
Qin Yixian remained silent and sorted out some things carefully. After a while, he seemed to understand something and his eyes became sharp.
They seem to be led by the nose by someone...
At this moment he suddenly spoke and expressed his guess.
"Fan Hua is a man of great scheming. He planned every step carefully. He first used Feng Nanyi's matter to tie us up, and then used rumors and thunder to deliberately guide us to point the spearhead at Yun Bohou Mansion, in order to distract our attention and give them a chance to escape. We have searched the entire Kyoto but still haven't found them. I'm afraid they have already escaped from Kyoto."
During this period, a lot of troops were dispersed in order to investigate Feng Nanyiyi and Yun Bohou Mansion. In addition, they were extremely cunning and left almost no clues, so it was difficult to catch him.
Leng Yue thought for a while and finally understood something. At the same time, she was also impressed by Fan Hua's scheming and how he came up with such a complicated and sophisticated plan to deal with them.
Now that the matter has been clarified, Qin Yixian has no reason to deal with the Yunbohou Mansion.
He just still had doubts about some details.
So he was like a curious person, asking questions all the time, and started a question-and-answer session with Leng Yue.
"Since Fengyun Pavilion has already developed the Sky-shaking Bomb, why didn't they use it when we fought against them before?"
Leng Yue thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe it wasn't refined during that time? It was only successfully refined later."
Qin Yixian's eyes flashed, and he asked another question.
"If they had used the Sky-shaking Bomb in the battle at Jiuqu Alley, they would have been able to break through, but they chose to fight to the death. How do you explain this?"
"This……"
This question stumped Leng Yue.
She thought for a moment and gave a far-fetched answer.
"Perhaps they wanted to bide their time. Once they used the Sky-shaking Bomb, it would definitely attract the attention and fear of many forces, especially the royal family. That's why they didn't use it."
"Then why were you willing to use it during the raid on the Cloud City branch last night?"
Leng Yue's face showed a bit of bitterness, he had many doubts today.
She said calmly: "Maybe it's for revenge. Fan Hua is a vindictive man. We killed a lot of them, so he will definitely take revenge."
"Back then, I spent a lot of effort to learn the method of refining the Sky-shaking Thunder, but I was unable to refine it. Where did they get the method? How can they refine it?"
"I don't know this, I only know that Ran Ke from Fengyun Pavilion is a rare genius who is not seen in a century. He is not only proficient in the manufacture of various weapons, but also understands pharmacology. He was able to become the dean at a young age. The Thunder of Heaven may have been made by him."
Leng Yue responded to every question Qin Yixian asked.
Some people would even think that she was sent by the other party to smooth things over.
Qin Yixian didn't expect Leng Yue to be so honest. He answered every question, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, and just stated his guess, leaving everything for him to judge.
The answer she gave was reasonable, and Qin Yixian believed it most of the time.
