Chapter 455 Investigation Results

Gyeonggi, Shangyuan City.

Yu Linglong changed her usual leisurely pace and rushed back to Dadu almost day and night. Along the way, she saw many convoys on the official road - these carriages did not carry the banner of the Chamber of Commerce as in the past, all the goods were covered with black cloth, and the escorts were fully armed cavalry. Seeing this, she realized that the Privy Council had changed the encirclement and suppression plan, and the war would come earlier than expected, which made her speed up her pace further.

After arriving in Shangyuan, Yu Linglong returned home first, carefully wrapped the two books she had brought back from Jinxia, ​​and hid them in a secret room as if they were treasures.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She spent a lot of money to buy it from a student - obviously Xia Fan did not take precautions in this regard, and it is not known whether he did this deliberately or ignored the possibility of leakage.

Although it was a bit unkind to do so, Yu Linglong knew the importance of "evidence". Even if she was tongue-tied, she couldn't make all the core members of the Privy Council change their views immediately. Therefore, testimonies and evidence were equally important. She didn't think that if she asked Xia Fan for teaching materials, he would definitely give them to her, so it would be better to buy a set quietly. A compromise approach.

Start with Qian to make him temporarily suspicious, then show the evidence and invite him to visit Jinxia. As long as Qian can stand on his side, Weihuang, Du Yelong and others will all become targets one after another.

After all, the Privy Council also believes in the saying that cognition changes one's mind and knowledge enhances one's skills.

Without constant research into the mysteries of the world, Fang Shu would not be as flourishing as it is today.

"The flower pot on the windowsill has been touched." Shadow said suddenly.

Yu Linglong walked to the window sill and took out a piece of paper from under the flowerpot, "It's Wei Wenwen. He found what I wanted."

"Are you talking about Feinian's life experience?

"Yes, he also said that there is no big problem on the surface. If you want detailed information, he will be waiting at home at night." Yu Linglong tore the note into pieces and stuffed it into the soil of the flower pot. "Then after nightfall, first Let’s go visit this friend.”

She thought clearly that if she could get clues about the evil forces infiltrating the Privy Council, it would be easier for others to stop the siege. Even if she gained nothing, she had nothing to lose.

"I wish you would never go to the Privy Council Palace." Shadow curled his lips, "Can't you wait for others to rebel before you rebel? No one who wants to be the first in anything will end well."

"Who takes the lead is not the point at all, but if this war can be stopped, many people will not have to die, and Yan Qing can wash away the stigma of a traitor." Yu Linglong smiled, "If you wait for others to do everything , Why did I join the Privy Council in the first place?”

…

At 4:00 pm (eight o'clock in the evening), Yu Linglong arrived at her friend's residence and was led all the way to the study by the housekeeper.

"Master Yu, you are well." Wei Wenwen was writing something in front of the table. When he saw Yu Linglong, he immediately put down his pen, stood up and said with enthusiasm.

Although he is a sixth-grade alchemist from Gyeonggi Province, he is now over forty years old and has reached the end of his path of Qi sensing practice. Yu Linglong had helped him when he was in the most difficult time, so he could be considered a debt of gratitude. In addition, Wei Daowao was an official in the Recording Department, so he could help him when he needed to check personnel information.

"You too." Yu Linglong smiled and replied, "Is Jiu'er okay?"

"Hey, thanks to you, Quan Zi is doing very well. However, he is twelve years old and has no signs of awakening, so he probably doesn't have much hope of becoming an alchemist." The other party shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't look like he has extraordinary talents. It seems that I plan to find a job for him when he turns sixteen."

"It may not be hopeless," Yu Linglong said half-jokingly, "How about you send him to Jinxia City to study, maybe he will wake up in a year or two."

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Wei Wenwen looked surprised, "The Privy Council is about to start a war on Jinxia City, where do you want me to send Jiu'er?"

"Don't worry, this war won't really break out." Yu Linglong found a chair and sat down.

"Not going to start a fight? Can you take this news seriously?" He was really surprised now. You must know that the Privy Council has already spread the word, describing this siege as a suppression of rebellion and rebellion. If it is stopped halfway, it will be a slap in the face.

However, seeing that Yu Linglong had no intention of going into details, he retracted the idea of ​​questioning - maybe the core members knew something very different from those of them, the foreign alchemists.

"Everything you want is here." Wei Daodao opened the bookcase behind him, took out a stack of documents, and handed it to Yu Linglong, "The first part is Fei Nian's personal file, and the second part is where I asked some Fei Nian family members to inquire Transcript made later.”

Did you also specifically ask the Fei family alchemist? This is considered a very serious approach to her request.

Yu Linglong took the document and said, "Thank you very much. You are considerate."

"It's nothing compared to what you've helped me with." Wei Daodao waved his hand, "As long as I can help you, it will be my honor."

She opened the file, which recorded Fei Nian's life story and official position, and also included a portrait. This person was born in Suzhou. After awakening the ability to sense qi, he had a smooth journey and has now become a representative of the younger generation. As Wei Wendao said, there is no problem at all just looking at this.

She then opened the transcript section and asked questions mostly about daily trivial matters that would not be recorded in the file. When she saw the fifth page, Yu Linglong was suddenly attracted by a word.

"Special Objects Appreciation Party".

The question mentioned that the Fei family would send people to attend this meeting almost every year, and this was also one of the rare days when Fei Nian left Suzhou.

"If I remember correctly, the Wonders Appreciation Meeting should be a grand meeting for the families that study mechanical arts. Why does the Fei family like to join in the fun?" Yu Linglong asked curiously.

"I am also a little concerned about this question, so I asked one more question." Wei Wendao replied, "But the alchemist of the Fei family said that the master thought that this meeting could enhance knowledge and expand cognition, and some strange magic tools could also help learn magic, so he organized disciples to go."

"This is the first time I heard of it." Yu Linglong muttered.

"The location of the Wonders Appreciation Meeting is usually held in the capital of Xu State, and there are more than one or two people going there. There is nothing strange about it." Shadow sighed, "If this meeting is held on the Xiema Island, it can also be related to the An family. Going to Xu State is simply normal."

"It would be great if I could learn more about the appreciation meeting from Mo Yun." Yu Linglong said with reservations.

Unfortunately, she didn't find any more suspicious clues until the end.

Wei Wendao saw her close the book and asked hurriedly, "How is it, did you find anything?"

"Except for this mechanical exhibition, which surprised me a little, other places are fine." Yu Linglong shook the information, "Do you mind if I take them away?"

"Even if you don't take them, I will destroy them all." Wei Wendao smiled and walked towards the door, intending to see his benefactor off, "In this way, I will find another opportunity to ask the high-level alchemists of the Fei family. Their schedules are quite tight, so they may need time to make an appointment."

"Is it convenient for the officials of the Recording Department to do this?"

"Of course, updating personnel files is our responsibility."

Yu Linglong also stood up, "Then I won't stay here for long. When you have news, contact me in the old way."

"Okay, just leave it to me." Wei Wendao turned the door handle and said softly, "Strange..."

"What's wrong?" She asked subconsciously.

"The door seems to be stuck." The other party frowned and said.
