After the Fairy Disappeared - Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Each has his own thoughts
But the murderer is his own son, the only living blood.
The relationship between the father and son, tsk!
It seems more complicated and weird than him and He Chunhua.
Bai Ziqi also shook his head and sighed: “Who knows? What a mess.”
While talking, the two approached Cen’s residence.
Here was still surrounded by Lu Dutong’s men, but the officers and soldiers escorted people and goods in and out. Compared with the previous siege and no attack, it was an open fire without any scruples.
Among the wealthy families in Lingxu City who linger in Baishayu, there are not many families with a higher family status than Cen Boqing. It’s the time when the curtain falls on the Cen Mansion, and the neighbors all come out to watch, and the crowds are crowded on the street, pointing and pointing.
It’s more lively than the New Year’s Eve, and it’s only a matter of setting off a few firecrackers.
As soon as Bai Ziqi arrived, Lu Dutong rushed out: “My lords, we have captured the Cen Mansion and are currently searching for Cen Boqing.”
He Lingchuan frowned, and Bai Ziqi asked directly: “A search? Cen Boqing hasn’t been arrested yet?”
“The Cen Mansion is too big, but we are about to search it all over, but we haven’t found any trace of Cen Boqing yet.”
At this time, all the servants of the Cen Mansion were arrested, from the servant to the cook, none of them were missed. It was a little surprising that Zhang Zhang Luola was in charge of these at the scene, and it was Tian County Magistrate.
Under the light of the torches of the officials, County Magistrate Tian held his head high, and even the tone of his command was cadenced, which was very majestic.
Seeing Bai Ziqi and He Lingchuan, he immediately changed into a smiling face: “The prince is in the back garden, two adults…”
Bai Ziqi waved his hand to interrupt his polite words: “Have you asked your servants about Cen Boqing’s whereabouts?”
“Ah, it’s being interrogated, and those who have been asked so far say they don’t know.”
It is the first time for He Lingchuan to enter the Cen Mansion, not to mention the exquisite components and scenery. Here, there is a lot of flowers and plums, a natural spring flows through four gardens, and the koi raised are five feet long, graceful and rich; There are also jellyfish floating around, the small ones are like fists, and the big ones are like pumpkins. They will emit red, yellow, blue, blue and other colors of light when they touch anything. It must be really beautiful at night.
I don’t know what species it is. He Lingchuan used to think that there are jellyfish in the sea.
It’s August in midsummer, and the weather is very hot, and I’m sweating after walking two steps.
But the huge Cen Mansion has always maintained a normal temperature of 23 to 4 degrees, and the indoor and outdoor are equally cool, which shows that the heatstroke prevention array is working well.
This kind of formation consumes a lot of energy, at least the home of the head of Yuan Kingdom Xiazhou cannot afford to burn it.
Is it here, even the last hut can be enjoyed.
Bai Ziqi asked again: “Where is Commander Fan?”
“Commander Fan is carrying an axe, coming and going like a gust of wind, and I don’t know where he is now.”
He Lingchuan interrupted: “Does Bai Dushi want him to arrest someone?”
Bai Ziqi didn’t hide from him: “Yes, Cheng Yu.”
He Lingchuan’s heart skipped a beat. The special envoy of Lingxu City has just arrived in Baisha, why did he focus on Cheng Yu?
“That curse master?” He looked curious, “What’s so special about this person?”
“His spells are special, I may need this person’s assistance in my next case.”
“Bai Dushi’s next case is settled? You really are a busy man.”
Bai Ziqi still had a magic stick smile on his face: “It is my duty to share the worries of the emperor and the emperor.”
As soon as the three of them walked to the back garden, they heard Fu Shan Yuezhong’s angry voice:
“Break open the rockery, I’ll see if there is a secret passage!”
Here is a rockery with scattered heights, like a maze, and ordinary people will get lost when entering. Seventeen or eighteen officers and soldiers put the rope on the highest peak and pulled it hard, but it still didn’t move.
It’s no wonder that Fushan got more and more whimsical, and the secret passages of many mansions like to be built under the rockery. Because the back garden is generally located in a remote location, separated from the outer street by a wall or two, the movement of digging a secret passage can still be covered in the name of gardening.
The gardens of this kind of deep mansion compound must be meticulously crafted. It is normal to repair for two or three years, and it can take as long as twelve or three years.
More than a dozen officials went up to use their strength. The jagged rockery nearly two feet high finally pushed the golden mountain down the jade pillar and fell into eight petals.
All the officers and soldiers went into the mountain like wolves and tigers and trampled for a while, but they didn’t find the so-called entrance to the secret passage.
Bai Ziqi’s face was solemn: “The servants in this mansion, when was the last time I saw Cen Boqing?”
Lu Dutong came over and replied: “The boy in the second courtyard said that about an hour ago, Cen Boqing asked his servants to collect some messy things, which seemed to be materials for casting spells. But Cen’s house was trapped and could not get quail, so he had to Come to the rockery to catch two magpies instead… This is probably the last time they saw Cen Boqing, because the master went to find Cheng Yu from the side courtyard later, and when they talked, they waved away all the servants.”
At this time, County Magistrate Tian came striding over, reporting that all of Cen’s residence had been searched, and no whereabouts of Cen Boqing had been found.
Fu Shan said with a cold face: “Search, search again! Search more carefully for me.”
The county magistrate Tian also had to take orders to go.
“The Cen mansion is surrounded by groups, hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching, and they are not considered passers-by…” Bai Ziqi glanced at Fu Shanyue, but he didn’t say a word, even the prince himself was sitting in the town, “It stands to reason that Cen Boqing is such a big man. The living have no chance of escape.”
Fan Sheng got out of nowhere, and added: “There is also Cheng Yu.”
Two big living people, if they say they don’t see each other, they disappear?
Fu Shanyue’s anger was almost visible to the naked eye. The duck that managed to reach its beak actually grew wings and flew?
Then what happened to him repeatedly blocking back to Cen Bo for liquidation? Are people teasing him?
“Could it be a mountain-moving array?” Fan Sheng said again, “It can be teleported out.”
Fu Shanyue said coldly: “We have set up a ban on escapism, and the mountain-moving formation will not take effect.”
He Lingchuan thought of something, and his heart moved: “By the way, the night I chased Cheng Yu, his aura disappeared inexplicably as soon as he reached Fu Songhua’s house, and he couldn’t find it no matter how hard he tried.”
Fu Shanyue immediately said: “He still has some skills. It’s useless to waste here, go ask Wu Kai!”
Wu Kai is Cen Boqing’s confidant, and he should know best what the latter has.
So Bai Ziqi went back to the inn and interrogated Wu Kai.
Fu Shanyue called He Lingchuan into the water pavilion in the garden of the Cen Mansion, waved away the left and right attendants, and conveniently placed a sound-proof barrier.
Seeing his actions, He Lingchuan couldn’t help becoming serious: “What’s the matter, so cautious?”
“Bai Ziqi came here a little strangely, help me watch him these few days.”
“Strange?” He Lingchuan was slightly surprised, “Didn’t he be ordered to investigate the case?”
“Bai Ziqi said he came from the Twilight Plain. Heh, I don’t believe he stopped in the Plain.”
He Lingchuan said: “Has he entered Chiyan?”
“Ninety percent.” Fu Shanyue said, “When envoys from Lingxu City enter the demon country, they usually notify the local government first, and only then will someone receive them and cooperate with them.”
They are all officials, shouldn’t they pay attention to the cooperation of the upper and lower levels?
“But Bai Ziqi was sneaky this time, no one knew that he entered Chiyan, and no one knew where his destination was. If Zhongsunmou hadn’t had an accident and the emperor called urgently, I wouldn’t even know he was here.” Fu Shanyue slowly said, “What does he want to do?”
He Lingchuan replied with two words: “On business.”
“Nonsense, of course it’s on business. Do you think he wants to come here?” Fu Shanyue sneered, “Don’t think he’s easy-going. These people from Lingxu City think that they are born noble, but in their hearts they don’t look down on anyone. Unless they come to Baishahao Rest in a place of scenic beauty, otherwise they would not want to step into the feudal demon kingdom.”
He Lingchuan’s face is full of “I understand”, isn’t it just a chain of contempt?
Beja people look down on people from Fu and Yuan countries, and people from Lingxu city look down on people from Fanyao country.
“This Bai Dushi seems to be very powerful.” Bai Ziqi is kind to people, unlike Cen Boqing and Zhong Sunmou who like to look at people with their nostrils.
But He Lingchuan could feel that his kindness was all on the surface, just to let people down.
Bai Ziqi has been carefully looking at the people and things around him.
Every time this person glanced over, He Lingchuan felt uncomfortable, feeling that he was prying into the secrets of his heart.
But He Lingchuan is really a person with secrets.
“Du Yunshi’s position is aloof, he only obeys the orders of the gods and the emperor, and even ignores the national teacher. Is that seat available to ordinary people?” Fu Shanyue took a few steps, “Bai Ziqi He keeps a low profile, and most of them run secret errands, and I haven’t heard of many of them. But ten years ago, Baixiang Kingdom was in danger of civil strife, and the emperor sent Bai Ziqi to persuade him, and the two sides finally shook hands to make peace; If something happened, Bai Ziqi would still come forward to solve it.”
“It sounds like this is a person who can solve problems.” Whether it is a country or an organization, there will always be such a person.
“Well, there are various methods.” Fu Shan frowned and said, “But usually, the errands he does are related to the gods. Why did you come to Chiyan this time?”
He Lingchuan smiled and said: “If he wants to do something in Chiyan, he may ask you for help in the end.”
He also had a sudden shock in his heart.
Bai Ziqi sneaked into Chiyan quietly, what was he ordered to do?
If it is related to the gods, this is the country of Beka, a famous place of worship. Why did the gods order the messengers to act secretly when they were on their own territory?
“At least for now only the Bai Du envoy has arrived in Baisha. The forces of Zhongsun’s family and Da Sinong haven’t arrived yet.”
Fu Shanyue said in a low voice: “I see, the best show is yet to come!”
All the way out of the Cen Mansion, He Lingchuan was carefully thinking about what he had done since he pursued the case.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
“That emperor in Lingxu City really wants to investigate the case impartially?” The mirror suddenly asked him, “Isn’t this a good thing for you, you acted in accordance with the emperor’s heart, and the pressure was relieved all of a sudden. ”
“Why is there no bias?”
“He directly sent the most irrelevant person over.” The soul-destroying mirror said, “If Zhongsun’s family wants to complain, and Da Sinong wants to defend, there may be some forces that want to interfere with the selection of the special envoy.”
“Impartiality, the most irrelevant? Do you really think so?” He Lingchuan smiled, “Do you think you can understand people’s emotions after following two generals and a few powerful men?”
