After rebirth, I found out that the tyrant's white moonlight is me

"The thirteen cities in the northern region don't believe in ghosts and gods, so they don't pay much attention to rituals," Chu Lingyue went on to say, "The incense candle business of the dealer is not easy to do in the northern region."

"Yes," Xie Qian gestured, and took the lead to walk down the altar, "But Changfujing is different from Southeast, where ancestors are sacrificed to the dead during many seasons of the year."

Speaking of this, Xie Qian was puzzled for a moment: "But isn't the foundation of the dealer's business rice? Candles are not even a sideline business, and their power is not in the south. Will they expand their business area here?"

Chu Lingyue said: "It shouldn't be the owner of the dealer's idea. The children of the dealer will earn a living by themselves after they grow up. This is also the evidence for the selection of the owner in the future."

Xie Qian was stunned, and wanted to continue talking, but there were too many people around at this time, so it was inconvenient to discuss further, so he finally just asked casually: "Yanshan City is a city in the north, how do you know so well?"

Chu Lingyue: "..."

Xie Qian didn't listen to his answer, and turned his head to look in doubt, but saw Chu Lingyue's face was difficult to say. Xie Qian looked more and more strange, and Chu Lingyue couldn't help rolling down his Adam's apple.

There was a sudden stalemate in the scene, and finally Xie Qian clapped his hands, leaned over and said mysteriously: "I see! I heard that your Shenshu Mansion has an agency that collects intelligence from all over the world, isn't that true?"

Chu Lingyue didn't expect someone to hand him a pillow when he fell asleep, so he responded, "Yes."

"Then don't you know everything?"

Because Xie Qian was watching him walk, he didn't pay much attention. Seeing that he was about to bump into someone else, Chu Lingyue quickly grasped Xie Qian's shoulders, and said while leading him forward, "No, the Shenshu Mansion knows the news. It’s not too deep, if your Chi Ling Mansion pays attention to investigate these things, you can also find out.”

"Really?" Xie Qian looked back at him suspiciously. He was slightly shorter than Chu Lingyue, and at this moment he was very close. When he turned around, he saw Chu Lingyue's pale lips, "Then you checked our Chiling House?"

Chu Lingyue continued to embrace him, paused after hearing the words, but still told the truth: "...checked."

It's nothing, and it's nothing to worry about if you can find it out. Xie Qian smiled and didn't care too much, and asked, "Then did you check me on purpose?"

Chu Lingyue looked down at him slightly after hearing the words: "Do you have a secret?"

Xie Qian's face froze, and his smile froze a little, but he quickly returned to normal: "Who doesn't have a few secrets?"

Chu Lingyue looked at him, and his expression was a little dazed: "That's right."

Xie Qian noticed his expression and thought he was thinking of someone, so he lowered his eyes and stopped talking about it.

But this time the sacrificial ceremony was completed, and it was inconvenient to drink and have fun on the festival day, so there was nothing left, and Wen Yu would not hold him back, so Xie Qian hurried back to Changfujing after greeting them.

Chu Lingyue was with him, and they went straight to Taichang Temple after they returned. As expected, the people from the Shenshu Mansion had already found the remaining incense candles in the room where the ritual supplies were kept.

After inspection, a small amount of non-combustible clay was found in the incense candle.

Only Shaoqing is on duty in Taichang Temple now, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this, and kept explaining that they tried to burn it before, which was obviously not the case, and someone must have dropped things; or the owner of the incense and candle shop had ulterior motives!

"Official sacrificial supplies have always been customized by special shops. They are all old shops that have been cooperating for many years. Some words come without opening their mouths." Xie Qian frowned, "When did this batch of goods enter the warehouse?"

That Shaoqing quickly replied: "Seven days ago."

"Check all the people who have entered and left the warehouse in the past seven days. If there is any cover, I will question you; besides, keep your mouth shut, I don't want to hear any rumors."

According to the rules of etiquette, the entry and exit of such confidential places should be registered. It is not difficult to check this.

It can be said that, Xie Qian also knew in his heart that there was probably nothing to be found out, and if he had the courage to do this, he would easily leave his feet for no reason.

But he insisted on doing this. To accomplish this, there must be cooperation from both inside and outside. During this period, there will be many people who will handle it. Once it is out of balance, it will always show its feet.

As for the remaining batch of incense candles in Taichang Temple, although they can be counted as evidence, they are actually useless. They just want to tell those who are secretly observing that they want to check the register.

When they left Taichang Temple, Chu Lingyue suddenly asked, "Do you have someone you suspect?"

Xie Qian looked at him: "You don't have it."

"Zhuang Zhiyuan came to Beijing recently, and the incense and candle business in Beijing is almost monopolized by those long-established shops. He has a motive."

In fact, Xie Qian just suddenly remembered Zhuang Zhiyuan at the time. There was no such thing in his previous life. It's related: "Why do you suddenly suspect him?"

Chu Lingyue said: "He's too high-profile, just doubt it."

"..."

Hearing Chu Lingyue's words, Xie Qian was speechless for a while, and couldn't help thinking, was it the same after he ascended the throne of God in his previous life?If this is the case, it is indeed casual enough, and his reputation is not in vain.

Thinking of this, Xie Qian turned his head to look at him for a while, and suddenly asked: "Do you occasionally have any taboo thoughts? Just the kind of thoughts that cannot be expressed in words and will not be easily expressed?"

Xie Qian actually felt that as long as the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful and the river is Qinghaiyan, it doesn't matter to him who decides the world.

But he didn't want Chu Lingyue to bear the notoriety of seeking to usurp the throne. Although all this history would be turned into a handful of ashes and disappear without a trace after a hundred years, he still didn't want Chu Lingyue to be poked at the back of Chu Lingyue.

So he thought, since he and Chu Lingyue are friends, he can also try to enlighten him, if it doesn't work, then... Let's talk about it later.

As soon as Chu Lingyue heard this, her eyes fixed on him, as if Xie Qian could only be accommodated in one pair of eyes.

Xie Qian was stared blankly, wondering if he already had that idea right now?And it looks so hot!

But seeing that Chu Lingyue didn't intend to speak at all, he could only laugh dryly, and rounded up the words himself: "It's nothing, I'll just ask casually."

Then he quickly changed the subject: "Today's matter depends on whether anyone can't hold back tonight. Have you arranged your people?"

Seeing that he skipped it, Chu Ling looked away silently, and then nodded without saying anything.

But Xie Qian didn't wait until tonight, when the sky was about to turn dark, someone from the palace suddenly came to announce him to the palace for an audience.

It wasn't until Xuanhe Hall that he realized that Chu Lingyue was there, and Xie Qian suddenly understood that the matter on the altar was probably discovered.

After Xie Qian met Tianjing Emperor Chu Chun, he stood peacefully by the side.

Although Emperor Tianjing was middle-aged and had lines at the corners of his eyes, his brows were handsome and demeanor, and he could vaguely glimpse a shadow of suave and romantic in his youth.

And Xie Qian was a ghost since he was a child, and Emperor Tianjing had nothing to do with him; let alone Chu Lingyue, he didn't know what to say when he saw him.

At this moment when the two got together, Emperor Tianjing only felt a headache.

However, it is a big taboo to lose one's appearance before the mausoleum, and the officials on the side are eyeing it fiercely, so it is impossible not to pursue this matter.

Emperor Tianjing cleared his throat, and said seriously: "What else can you say?"

It really wasn't someone who deliberately poked this out, after all, no one wanted to mess with these two at the same time.

The bad thing is that the royal family ceremonies have historians to record the whole process, so the actions of the two of them at that time were all recorded, and the incense candles had not been extinguished at that time, so people who were far away only knew that the two of them were in vain. Playing with fire before...

Later, when this historical record was sent to Yushitai for review and preservation, it was dug out. The people in Yushitai have always been strict in their work, so they were presented to His Majesty.

Just as Xie Qian was about to say something, Chu Lingyue said stiffly, "No."

Emperor Tianjing: "..."

But what Chu Lingyue said is correct, it is better not to make a big deal about the incense candles for the time being, otherwise if someone interferes, maybe people will achieve their goals, so Xie Qian touched his nose and stopped talking .

Seeing this, the officer on the side trembled with anger, "Arrogance! How arrogant it is!"

Xie Qian couldn't help but said: "Master Li, I didn't say anything."

"Why didn't you say it!" Master Li blew his beard and stared, "Aren't you usually the most talkative, who are you challenging by keeping your mouth shut right now!"

Xie Qian: "..."

Emperor Tianjing's ears hurt when he heard it on the dragon chair, he rubbed his temples, and immediately made a verdict: "Xie Qian and Chu Lingyue's disrespect in front of the mausoleum is an unforgivable crime, but if they haven't made a big mistake yet, they can't be forgiven." This is the first accomplice, so the two are punished to light two thousand candles with open fire formulas in the Buddhist hall tonight, and chant sutras a hundred times to show repentance."

After the announcement, Emperor Tianjing didn't wait for any of them to reply, as if he didn't want to take another look, he immediately got up and left.

Afterwards, the imperial guards sent the two of them into the Buddhist hall together, and they had learned from the past. They were afraid that Xie Qian would escape, so they locked all the doors and windows as soon as they entered.

Xie Qian glanced at the closed door, turned around and complained to Chu Lingyue: "I haven't had dinner yet."

There are often consecrated cakes in the Lifo Hall, but Xie Qian always feels that the things here have a smell of incense and ashes.

The more Chu Ling knew that Xie Qian was a picky eater, he walked over to pick up a piece of pastry and tasted it, then signaled to Xie Qian: "There is no other taste."

Xie Qian was suspicious: "Really?"

Chu Lingyue didn't repeat the details after hearing the words, and said directly: "What do you want to eat? I'll go to the imperial dining room."

Now there are guards outside, and when they are discovered, they will have to be punished. Xie Qian immediately stopped him: "Don't, don't."

Then, to show his sincerity, he bit off the pastry that Chu Lingyue was holding in one bite.

Chu Lingyue curled her fingers, and couldn't help saying, "That's me, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Qian ate until his cheeks swelled up, and went to get two more yuan, "It's really tasteless, it's delicious, do you want some more?"

The more Chu Ling looked at his heartless and indifferent appearance, and was fascinated by Xie Qian's closeness to him recently, he felt a little arrogant for a while: "Hmph."

But Xie Qian didn't hear it, he was picking out other pastries, and when he turned around, he saw that Chu Lingyue's expression was normal, and he didn't care, he just fed him a piece of pastry, and then asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Chu Lingyue's anger disappeared instantly, and he blinked and replied, "...delicious."

The author has something to say: Qianqian: Fortunately, he can eat anything, thanks for testing the poison.
