In charge

The news of King Qin Yang's conviction reached Qin Yang, Sheng Ci sat on a chair covered with blankets, with pens and ink on the table in front of her, and she was writing a reply letter to Shu Yunci.

Long before Shu Yunci announced King Qin Yang's crimes, he sent someone to send her a letter asking her about the situation here.At that time, she fell ill because of the wind, and Xue Cang took her to reply a letter hastily. Now that she is better, she still needs to write another letter to explain the situation.

She has gained a lot during this time.First of all, there is the girl named Shurui, the blood silkworm has a delicate mind. During Shurui's recuperating period, she quietly tried several times, and finally found out that Shurui can know martial arts, so her existence is very problematic.Moreover, the timing of her appearance in front of Yue Yingxi was so coincidental that it was hard not to be suspicious.

Yue Yingxi is very caring about Shu Rui, and she does not give her medicine or food every day.Hua Yihong has disappeared for several days.She was not from the imperial court in the first place, as long as she was determined to be a friend rather than an enemy, Sheng Ci would not care about her of course.

Shu Rui's injury healed quickly, and she was able to speak after a few days.She said that she and several girls from Fengyi Building were arrested and brought into Qinyang Palace, and several people dressed as guards brought her into a room to be rude.She struggled desperately, probably because she made too much noise, and was exhausted by one of the people strangling her neck with a rope. As for what happened afterwards, she didn't know at all.

When Yue Yingxi told Sheng Ci these words, Sheng Ci was noncommittal and just asked: "Miss Yue, is this the story you told me, or your final interrogation statement."

Yue Yingxi's expression was a little unnatural. "Miss Four..."

"Actually, you have a judgment in your heart, right? You are proficient in criminal and prison trials, a person who can even find flaws in blood silkworms, it is impossible for you not to see the problem."

Yue Yingxi often commits two crimes, but she has a specialization in art. It is too difficult for a person to make up stories in front of her.

"Miss Si, I didn't hide it on purpose. Shu Rui...is really deceiving people." Yue Yingxi didn't want to admit this, but as a prison officer, it is the most basic point not to be emotional.

There was one thing that made Sheng Ci very curious, "Miss Yue, why are you so special to Shu Rui?"

"This..." Yue Yingxi scratched her head. "I met a little girl about my age when I was a child, and she could play the pipa, although not very well. We got along for about a year, then she moved away with the family, and I never I've seen her before. Her name is Feng Shurui. Although this Shurui is not her, I will always think of her."

When Sheng Ci heard this, his expression immediately became serious. "So you think it's a coincidence?"

"Is not it?"

Sheng Ci stopped talking, her mind was running fast.What kind of purpose would the other party design a woman against Yue Yingxi?Is it for Yue Yingxi or for her?Or, for His Majesty?

Xue Cang came in with a medicine bowl and saw Sheng Ci meditating. She looked at Yue Yingxi displeasedly. Yue Yingxi waved her hands hurriedly, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

"You should take your medicine."

Sheng Ci took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, which made Yue Yingxi feel bitter in his mouth.Sheng Ci put down the empty medicine bowl, and the blood silkworm reached out and gently brushed the corner of her mouth to wipe off the little medicine juice left.

Yue Yingxi was terrified when she saw it, and thought that another couple who liked to show off their affection would lose their eyesight!She hurriedly found an excuse and went out.Inexplicably being stuffed with dog food, Yue Yingxi felt as depressed as she could be.Going back to the room, she had to face the problematic Shu Rui, Yue Yingxi thought about it and let it go.As soon as she left the main courtyard, she met Hua Yihong who hadn't been seen for a few days. "Where have you been these few days?"

Hua Yihong glanced at her, then looked past her at the main courtyard, "Tell me in my courtyard."

The two went to Xikuanyuan.In the room, Hua Yihong was still leaning against the bedpost like a snake, and Yue Yingxi was worried that she would suddenly climb up the bedpost.

"Your darling has a problem, do you know?" Hua Yihong spoke in a very bad tone.

Yue Yingxi scratched her head, why did she smell vinegar?Illusion, must be illusion. "I know." She admitted honestly.

.

"I know you still don't check her? It can be seen that she is really reluctant to expose her and is willing to deceive herself." Hua Yihong rolled her eyes.

The truth is indeed such a truth, but it still sounds very harsh to say it directly.

"Have you checked?"

Hua Yihong raised her chin, "That's right, I'm boring, do you have an opinion?"

"What did you find?" Yue Yingxi moved the chair forward with interest.

Hua Yihong kicked her, "Stay away from me!"

Yue Yingxi was unmoved, and widened her eyes to express that she wanted to hear the answer.Those big eyes were so innocent, so anticipating, just like a dog's eyes, Hua Yihong's aura just now disappeared all of a sudden.What should I do if I really want to rub my hair?

"Cough..." Hua Yihong, who realized that she was thinking wildly, coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment. "That Shurui is a member of Chengyejiao. She entered Fengyi Tower half a year ago to secretly find rich people as targets of Chengyejiao. Do you know why so many people in Qinyang City believe in Chengyejiao?" ?”

Yue Yingxi shook her head, and continued to look at her with dog eyes.

Hua Yihong's hands felt itchy, and she really wanted to rub her hair.She tried to resist the urge to reach out and distracted herself with words.

"Because most of the rich people are cheated of a lot of property by Chengyejiao. People like Shu Rui exist in many places in the city. They are called 'whistles'. The person in charge of preaching will come to the door." Hua Yihong said so thirsty, she got out of bed to get the tea on the table.

Yue Yingxi hurriedly poured tea and passed it over, "But how can the people from Chengyejiao be sure that these wealthy households will believe them? There are always people who don't believe it?"

After drinking half a cup of tea, Hua Yihong asked, "How can you be sure that the person you're interrogating is telling the truth?"

Now Yue Yingxi understood, illusion. When she was investigating Shu Rui, she met a scholar who knew illusion in a house before. It seems that there are not a few such people in Chengyejiao.

"Even if you use illusion to seize the rich family's property, so what? What does this have to do with the assassination sent by King Qinyang?" She still couldn't figure it out.How do you think that karma education is nothing more than money, but what can you do if you have money?

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" Hua Yihong was so seduced by Yue Yingxi's doggy eyes that she finally couldn't help reaching out to touch her.

At this time, the distance between the two is not far, but it is not within reach.Hua Yihong stretched out her hand to Yue Yingxi and hid back, which angered Hua Yihong.How dare you hide when this girl touches you?With the red gauze rolled up, Yue Yingxi was pulled in front of her, including the person and the chair.

"You... What are you doing?" Yue Yingxi spoke well, why did she suddenly tie her up?

Hua Yihong reached out and finally touched Yue Yingxi's head, and seeing the shocked and questioning expressions in those eyes, she found it very amused.Lugging is also addictive.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Yue Yingxi quit.For no reason, he came to touch his hair. Is this little red sick?

"Do you still want to hear it?" Hua Yihong pulled the soul veil, and Yue Yingxi's face was almost pressed against her.

"Think." Yue Yingxi flattened her lips.

"Hey, don't move around." Hua Yihong rubbed Yue Yingxi's hair, it was so soft, it looked like a person who had no opinions.

"Say it!" Yue Yingxi said aggrievedly.

"What is Cheng Yejiao accumulating money for?"

"Rebellion! Oops!" Yue Yingxi had just said two words when she was hit on the head by Hua Yihong. "I won't guess! Tell me!" Yue Yingxi sulked.

"Of course the purpose of making money is for pleasure, don't you think things are too complicated?" Hua Yihong said with a smile.

Yue Yingxi was silent for a while, then suddenly yelled: "Show me, you think I'm stupid, don't you? You should be a man with your tail between your legs for pleasure, and King Qin Yang can go to the capital to assassinate His Majesty?"

The sound made Huayihong's ears buzz.She covered her ears and waited for a while before she began to pat her chest, "You scared me to death, why are you so fierce? I'm joking with you

don't know?Cheng Yejiao wants to rebel, do you have to say?Even a fool can see it, okay? "

"Let go of me!" Yue Yingxi felt that she would be a fool if she sat here and listened to Hua Yihong's nonsense.

Hua Yihong shook her hand, and the soul veil loosened.Yue Yingxi got up and left without even looking at Hua Yihong.

"Hey! You are heartless, I have checked for several days anyway, and you are doing this to me?" Hua Yihong shouted behind her.

Yue Yingxi was still a soft-hearted person. She stopped and turned her head. She wanted to say a few words of thanks, after all, she didn't have the obligation to do so.But when she saw Hua Yihong's enchanting and charming appearance, she became angry.

"What are you supposed to do, don't make trouble." She opened the door and went out, leaving Hua Yihong with a surprised expression on her face.

A moment later, Hua Yihong's high-pitched cry came from the Xikua courtyard, "My surname is Yue, this girl is incompatible with you!"

Sheng Ci and Xuecan in the main courtyard first heard Yue Yingxi's roar, and now they heard Hua Yihong's roar. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

Sheng Ci said enviously: "The two of them are really energetic."

"It's really noisy." The blood silkworm made a disgusted face.

After dinner, Sheng Ci and Xue Cang learned the results of Hua Yihong's investigation.Yue Yingxi originally thought that Hua Yihong wouldn't get involved even if she didn't leave after this unpleasant experience, but she didn't expect that Hua Yihong just showed her face and smiled at Sheng Ci Xuecan and others Welcome, I found out that Cheng Yejiao worked harder.

Shu Rui couldn't get out of bed yet, and every time a maid brought food to the room.During this period of time, because Shu Rui was in her own room, Yue Yingxi could only live in the side room next to her, which was actually quite miserable.

A few days later, Hua Yihong found out something new, and Sheng Ci's subordinates also found new clues. After summarizing many sources, the truth is still easy to find out.

"The Chengye Sect controlled the entire Qinyang City, with the aim of becoming a country of its own. They used King Qinyang as a puppet, and originally hoped to unite with the Huazhi Kingdom to split the soil as a neighbor, but Huazhi Kingdom was scared by our country and refused. They, that's why they now want to unite with the Qing Dynasty. On the surface, the whole matter seems to be controlled by that old man named Xia Qing. That old man is a real expert in illusion, so he can see the depth of Miss Yue at once. .” Sheng Ci slowly said his conclusion.

Yue Yingxi raised her hand, "Since they want to rebel, why did they still make trouble in the palace? If I were a member of the Chengye Sect, I would just fight to the death and kill us all. Why bother to make such a big fuss?" Give us the handle?" Yue Yingxi still has a clear mind when it comes to trial in prisons.

Hua Yihong glared at her, "Fool, you didn't hear Miss Fourth say that they want to unite to celebrate the country. Do you know where the country is?"

"Of course I know, in the northeast, the closest place is a city across the country of Liu. Don't forget that I am from the country of Liu, and I am much more familiar with geography than you." Yue Yingxi said unconvinced.

Hua Yihong didn't even bother to look at her, and said to Sheng Ci: "So the people from Chengye Sect are trying to get the golden cicada out of its shell?"

Sheng Ci smiled and nodded. "Flower girl is really good at everything."

"That's right, I don't want someone blowing fire with a rolling pin - I don't know anything about it." Hua Yihong squinted at Yue Yingxi.

Yue Yingxi looked at Sheng Ci aggrievedly, "Miss Si, she said me."

This poor little appearance made the others laugh, including Hua Yihong.Sheng Ci comforted: "Miss Yue, Miss Hua is teasing you, she has no malicious intentions."

Yue Yingxi stared at Hua Yihong with wide eyes, her expression seemed to ask again: Is this really the case?

The dog's eyes appeared again, and Hua Yihong looked away uncomfortably.He muttered softly: "Where is the malice? Aren't you stupid?"

Yue Yingxi deliberately pretended not to hear, the most important thing is to understand the case.

"Chengyejiao does all kinds of seemingly unreasonable things. At present, it seems that they have only one purpose. They want to give up Qinyang. This place is located in the northwest, which is already the border of the hidden country. There are continuous mountains in the north, and it is impossible to go out. West It is Hua Zhiguo, and it is impossible to unite with them. No matter how far away Yan Guo was, it did not take advantage of our war. Naturally, it would not be for a

Qin Yangcheng will fight with us again.At present, the only country they can unite with that has not yet fought against our country is Qing.But Qing Kingdom is in the northeast, beyond reach.They should go to the northeast with enough wealth, and then create another Qinyang city in the same way. "Sheng Ci seemed to think of something again when he said this, he frowned and stopped talking.

Yue Yingxi wanted to ask again, but Xue Cang stopped her with a look.Yue Yingxi is flattening her mouth again, why is the blood silkworm's aura getting stronger and stronger?Anyway, I am a court official, not as dignified as a doctor.

She was being wronged, and suddenly felt that there was an extra hand on her head.She was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Hua Yihong who was touching her hair again.

"Hey! Do you have any plans for my hair?" Yue Yingxi was very wary.

Hua Yihong was stunned at this moment, "What can I plan?"

"For example... take a pair of scissors and cut off my hair while I'm not paying attention." Anyway, Yue Yingxi couldn't think of anything good in her mind.

Hua Yihong narrowed her eyes dangerously, and said sullenly, "I don't need any scissors, just a knife." As she spoke, she drew a dagger from her bosom, causing Yue Yingxi to jump up and push the door open. ran out.

Sheng Ci's thinking was interrupted, she looked up and found that Yue Yingxi was missing from the seat, she went to look at Hua Yihong beside her, at this time Hua Yihong had put away her dagger, and was sitting there very politely, seeing Sheng Ci's His eyes fell on himself, and he showed a very polite smile.

"What did you think of just now?" Blood Silkworm asked.

"I was thinking that even if Cheng Yejiao wants to abandon Qinyang City, there is no need to encourage King Qinyang to send someone to assassinate His Majesty, but think about it, what will be the consequences of doing so?" Sheng Ci's brains turned faster than ordinary people Much more, she just thought a lot at once, and that's why she needed to stop and think.

"The other party is the prince. I heard from you that he is still the cousin of Empress Ning Zhen, so someone in the royal family will definitely intercede. Empress Ning Zhen has always been tough, and she will definitely confront the royal family. If this prince has a few more friends in the court If so..." Hua Yihong covered her mouth with a smile and said, "The tougher Empress Ning Zhen is, the more she will fall into the schemes of the Chengye Sect. When the courtiers are separated and the clan is at odds, how long can your hidden kingdom last?" She She put one arm on the table next to her, "I'm serious, Empress Ning Zhen's recent reform measures are good for the common people, but they hurt the interests of too many people. She is taking a risk."

Sheng Ci admires Hua Yihong very much, and he can think of many reasons because he is the prime minister of Yin Kingdom, and he is very familiar with Yin Kingdom's government and national conditions.But Hua Yihong, a person who has traveled all over the world, can guess to such a point based on the little information he has. It is a pity that such a talent does not enter the court and become an official.

"Girl Hua is right. King Qinyang's incident seems to be a simple conspiracy, but if it is not handled properly, all the conflicts accumulated during this period will be brought to the table. This is what Cheng Yejiao hopes to see His majesty does not want to see this." As a subject, he eats the king's salary and bears the king's worries.Sheng Ci must do his best to calm things down here, and not let Cheng Yejiao's trick succeed.

"So what is Miss Si going to do? I think the real core personnel of Chengyejiao should have left here." Hua Yihong felt that what was left of Chengyejiao was just an empty shell, and it would be meaningless even if they were captured. up.But you can ask who the real core personnel are. As for whether you can find out, it's hard to say.Judging from Cheng Ye teaching people to be proficient in illusion, there is probably little hope.

"Now we understand the purpose of these people. As long as they are still in Yin Kingdom, there will always be a way to catch them." Sheng Ci sat for a long time, feeling a little difficult to breathe.

The blood silkworm on the side had already winked at her for countless times, Hua Yihong saw this and got up to leave.

"How's your Gu worm caught?" Sheng Ci has been busy dealing with the news these days, including those women in the magistrate's yamen. Provoking officials and conflicts within the royal family made Shu Yunci lose the loyalty of courtiers.

The blood silkworm has been catching Gu worms for a few days, and some worms are only easy to catch when winter is approaching. In fact, if they can wait until winter, there should be more Gu worms that can be caught, but Sheng Ci's body

The body couldn't bear the cold here, so the blood silkworm had no choice but to give up. "It's almost there. Hua Yihong helped catch some. Her skills are really good."

Hua Yihong was like a curious baby, she heard that the blood silkworm was going to catch bugs, so she followed for a day, her soul yarn was really useful for this kind of thing.You don't have to worry about being bitten by bugs at all, and it's easier to grasp one by one than many people's hands.

"When I get better, we will return to Beijing. At that time, we will bring back the family members of King Qin Yang, and Qin Yang City will have to change people."

"What about that bunch core? Take it away?" Blood Silkworm still has to heal her every day.

"Let Miss Yue ask for a confession, and then hand it over to the prefect Li. She's just a scumbag, so there's nothing to worry about." Sheng Ci lay on the bed, Xue Cang took a pill from his medicine box and gave it to her, then infused it again. With a little internal energy to help her release the medicine, she was relieved to see her face turn from pale to rosy.

After Yue Yingxi was scared away by Hua Yihong, she went back to her yard to visit Shu Rui.

Shu Rui's trauma has already healed very much, seeing her come in, she smiled and said, "Sister Yue, you are back."

Yue Yingxi moved a chair and sat by the bed, "Shu Rui, look into my eyes."

Shu Rui lowered her head, her face flushed, "Sister Yue, why did you let me see your eyes?"

"It's because of this that you will tell the truth." Yue Yingxi made a sudden move, pinched Shu Rui's chin, and forced her to look up at herself.

Shu Rui raised her head, her eyes filled with horror, "Sister Yue, what do you mean?"

"Why are you called Shu Rui? Why are you approaching me?" Yue Yingxi usually made mistakes, but when she really turned cold, she was very scary.

Shu Rui was so frightened that she shivered, "Sister Yue, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Yue Yingxi resorted to the Heart Sutra, and Shu Rui fell under the illusion, and told everything she knew, but there was no valuable information.Yue Yingxi felt strange, she rubbed her chin to think, suddenly felt something on her head, she looked up, and saw a red veil hanging from her head.

Hua Yihong also imitated Yue Yingxi's way, rubbing her chin and thinking, seeing Yue Yingxi looking at herself, she said: "She probably only knows so much. I think that since the people from Chengye School are relieved to let her come Getting close to you means that she doesn't know anything. Since they can approach you with the name Shurui, they must know that your illusion is very powerful. Is it okay to find someone who knows everything?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, Yue Yingxi still felt that what Hua Yihong said was damn reasonable.As soon as she clapped her hands, the dazed Shu Rui suddenly passed out on the bed. "What do you mean they sent such a man near me?"

"Hmm..." Hua Yihong thought for a while, "Maybe it's just because you are the best at cheating."

The voice of Yue Yingxi grinding her teeth was very clear.Hua Yihong patted her on the head, "I'm just kidding, don't be angry. Have you ever thought that you are from the country of Liu, and there is just a country of Liu between Qing and Yin, which Yejiao is planning to unite with?"

"What does it matter?" Yue Yingxi didn't understand.

"How would I know? Think for yourself. After all, your master is Yue Guang'an, so you might know something valuable." Hua Yihong sat aside and waited for her to think.

Yue Yingxi held her head and thought for a long time, "I'm sure I don't know anything. My master said that my brain is not very good, so I usually don't tell me secret things."

Hua Yihong nodded, "Your master really understands you."

Yue Yingxi couldn't figure out the reason, but she always felt that there was a thorn in her heart. It didn't hurt too much, but it was very uncomfortable.

In his reply letter to Shu Yunci, Sheng Ci stated the current situation, and especially reminded Shu Yunci to pay attention to the handling of King Qin Yang's matter, and not to act too hastily, nor to punish him too severely.
