Chapter 1394: Unspoken Words

The last thing Jiang Wuqi did before his death was to use his body as bait to wipe out the Ping An spies in Qi State.

Li Yougui, who was in the Divine Realm, and Yan Tu, who was in the Dongzhen Realm... were all cleared away.

With such wisdom and courage, what kind of enemy cannot be solved?

Why did he remain silent and why didn't he avenge his mother's murder?

The cold poison enters the hatred of life, why doesn't he snow?

Even more, why did Gongsun Yu leave on New Year's Eve last year?

The paradox is...

Jiang Wuqi refused to mention it, and Gongsun Yu stopped talking.

Why did Feng Gu die in the end to force him to discover the truth?

Jiang Wang thought hard, and he vaguely felt that he was very close to the clue. But like looking at flowers in the fog, there is always a layer between them.

what is it then?

Jiang Wuqi, Feng Gu, Gongsun Yu, Yang Jing...

Gongsun Yu...cut off his tongue!

The person who cannot speak is said to be "dumb".

The door that had been stuck in my mind for a long time suddenly opened.

Among those confusing clues, one suddenly became clear and stood out before his eyes.

Jiang Wang turned around and went out, immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare the car, and rushed directly to the Changsheng Palace.

He wished he could fly there directly, but in a place like Linzi and at such a delicate time, he had to follow some rules.

His heart was already racing like a galloping horse, and Jiang Wang's expression remained calm in the gentle carriage.

The more anxious you are, the more quiet you need.

Be still and be able to maintain your composure without losing your original intention.

He even abandoned his distractions and began to practice.

In the practice of Taoism, time always passes leisurely.

The Changsheng Palace is not far away and it didn't take long to get there.

Jiang Wang felt that he had calmed down and opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Go straight to the Changsheng Palace.

"Sir, according to the rules, someone must accompany you before you can go in." The leading Qingpai police officer stopped him.

A new batch of Qingpai agents guarding outside Changsheng Palace have been replaced. Of course, every green policeman in Linzi knows Jiang Wang. Even if you haven't seen him in person, you should have seen his portrait. Although it is a duty, it is also respectful.

"Then you accompany me in." Jiang Wang said directly.

The leading detective shook his head: "None of us are qualified to enter the Palace of Eternal Life."

Jiang Wang, who was focused on the clues, suddenly remembered that during the blockade of Changsheng Palace, which was the scene of the crime, only he and Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming, the three green cards responsible for the case, could solve the case. Enter.

You cannot enter alone yet, at least two people must supervise each other.

Of course, he is also fully capable of sneaking into the Changsheng Palace quietly, and he is expected to be unable to be discovered by these detectives. But in times of uncertainty like this, there is no need to break the rules.

Sometimes the "shortcut" right in front of you is the "long road" with extremely twists and turns.

If you sneak into the Changsheng Palace quietly, no matter what evidence you get in the end, it will no longer be credible.

"Go and invite Zheng Shangming." Jiang Wang directly ordered: "Just say that I will ask him to accompany me to search for evidence. If Zheng Shangming is not here, deputy envoy Lin Youxie Lin can also do it. In short, whoever you see first, you invite. I'm here Wait here.”

With his current weight, there are very few people in the Qingpai system who don't buy it. Not to mention there are vague rumors that he will take over as the captain of Beiya.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a green-branded policeman sped away, heading to Beiya to ask for help.

Jiang Wangze stood outside the palace gate. After a while, his soul sank into the sea and he began to practice.

Although time is short, it is wasted in waiting, but there is always some progress in practicing.

If you accumulate steps for thousands of miles, small streams will become rivers and seas, and you will climb up from the foot of the mountain step by step to reach the extraordinary peak.

When Zheng Shangming hurried over, Jiang Wang just opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Shangming asked.

Jiang Wang just said: "Go in and talk."

Two of the three people responsible for the case were present at the same time, and the palace door of the Changsheng Palace was opened.

The palace has become increasingly deserted, and its popularity has completely disappeared.

Jiang Wang had a clear goal and walked directly to the screen wall with pictures of all living beings.

"Have you discovered anything new?" Zheng Shangming asked again.

Jiang Wang stood in front of the screen wall and carefully looked at the mural left by Jiang Wuqi without saying a word.

Zheng Shangming also fell silent.

There are too many characters and too complicated scenes in this picture of all living beings, which almost includes all of Jiang Wuqi’s observations on “people”.

Anyone who looks at it carefully can notice its beauty.

But if there are any clues hidden in it, there are so many clues that a "key" is necessary to get them.

Jiang Wang had been wondering if he had missed any clues. He had studied this mural repeatedly before. But it wasn't until I thought of Gongsun Yu's tongue-cutting today that I suddenly made the connection.

In this picture of living beings, let alone those with sound limbs, there are blind people talking endlessly to the deaf, deaf people gesticulating to the blind, and smellless people fishing by the river...

It can be said to depict all living beings.

But as the saying goes, "deafness, blindness, and muteness are the four deficiencies" (yong), Jiang Wuqi painted the appearances of all living beings. Since he has deafness, blindness, and muteness, how could he miss a "dumb" one?

The answer is actually very simple. The place where the mute should be is Jiang Wuqi's "mute", his unspoken words!

The location where the mute should be was easy to find, and Jiang Wuqi didn't hide it too deep on purpose.

Divide this map of living beings into nine palaces.

The deaf and blind men are in the lower left corner of the painting, in the Gen Palace.

The person with carbuncle is in Duigong in the middle on the right side. A small river runs from Duigong to Qiangong and passes through the outside of the painting. On the river bank, farmers carry dung and walk away, while the person with carbuncle is fishing with a pole.

Based on the positions of the deaf and blind people on the entire painting, the corresponding position of the deaf person should be the direction of the palace, which is the middle position on the upper level of the painting.

In this place, what is painted is a barren mountain, and the rolling mountains extend beyond the picture.

Specifically, based on the location of the person with carbuncle, the precise corresponding location is on the barren mountain...

A lonely grave!

This is an inconspicuous solitary grave. Of course Jiang Wang had seen it before, but he only passed by it in a hurry.

At this time, I locked this position and looked carefully, and then I noticed the tombstone in front of the grave. There were only four words engraved on it.

A different format than any epitaph.

These four words are what Jiang Wuqi wanted to say.

What is engraved is——

"The deceased is gone."

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.

From his analysis, he thought that Gongsun Yu cut his tongue not only to cut off the truth of that year, but also to hint at the answer left by Jiang Wuqi on the screen wall.

A person's muteness itself is a key.

Therefore, Jiang Wang took it for granted that Jiang Wuqi hid the truth of the important case here.

But Jiang Wuqi just left his choice here...

This is the tomb of Concubine Lei...

The words "The deceased is gone" on the tombstone are Jiang Wuqi's choice and a warning to those who pursue the truth to this point.

The mute person who was not drawn was Jiang Wuqi himself.

He depicts all living beings in one painting and tells too many stories. When it's my turn, I just say "that's it"...

Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.

The assassination case that year led to the death of Concubine Lei Guifei, and Jiang Wuqi was born with cold poison. Of course, it also led to the death of famous catcher Lin Kuang and Lin Youxie's phobia.

The huge whirlpool it created is still involving human lives seventeen years later.

He gave up the position of Captain of Beiya that was easily available and chose the word truth. He also wanted to thank Jiang Wuqi for his heroic sympathy and find the truth for him.

But Jiang Wuqi had already found out the truth of the case.

His Royal Highness chose to remain silent.

This can also explain why Gongsun Yu left the Changsheng Palace and why he told Yang Jing, "I'm afraid it's hard to quit."

It seems that Gongsun Yu was one of the important members who investigated the truth at that time. After learning the truth, Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent and asked everyone to keep it secret.

Gongsun Yu was worried that he could not keep the secret, so he took the initiative to cut out his tongue and retired to Biwu County at a young age.

What truth needs to be so?

That truth...

what exactly is it?

In addition, Jiang Wang also clarified another key issue.

Feng Gu used suicide to trace the old case. As expected, it was not Jiang Wuqi's decision.

It was more Feng Gu's own decision.

Feng Gu was indeed loyal to Jiang Wuqi, but as a living person, he also had his own independent will.

He said that Jiang Wuqi had gotten what he wanted, which was not false. He said he hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, and he meant it sincerely.

Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent.

And he wanted Zhang Ming.

Why would he make a different choice from Jiang Wuqi?

The answer to this question may never be known until his death.

Maybe it was because he was still worried about Concubine Lei's death, or maybe he had given up after Jiang Wuqi's death and didn't want to think about the political situation anymore...

Anyway, that's what happened.

What Jiang Wang needs to consider is——

Do you still want to find out the truth now?

The person who was the biggest culprit in the assassination of Concubine Lei, and the person most qualified to pursue the case, has already made his choice!

"This painting is very complicated and vivid." Zheng Shangming asked at this time: "Is there any clue you want in it?"

"You've seen it too, haven't you?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zheng Shangming shook his head: "I don't understand."

He may have meant that he did not understand the painting. Perhaps it meant that he didn't understand Jiang Wuqi's choice.

In short, he would not share the truth about Concubine Lei's assassination with Jiang Wang after he rejected the position of Captain of Beiya.

The reason why Jiang Wang came to the Changsheng Palace today without hiding anything from Zheng Shangming, and even took the initiative to ask Zheng Shangming to accompany him, was because he knew he couldn't hide it. When he comes to the Changsheng Palace, Zheng Shangming will definitely follow him, and he will simply be generous and open-minded.

"Have you decided who will take over as the captain of Beiya?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zheng Shangming smiled bitterly: "How much power do you think my father has? This matter can be decided by us behind closed doors after a few discussions? We are looking for you because you can sit in this position, because you are Jiang Qingyang . Do you think whoever I name can be identified?”

Jiang Wang didn't believe that Zheng Shihui didn't have an alternative plan. How could such a person who knew how to play the Qingpai system and was so comfortable in Linzi bet all his money on one person?

In the end, he rejected the position of Captain of Beiya, and his friendship with Zheng Shangming ceased to be just ordinary friends.

"gone!"

Jiang Wang turned around and walked out.

"Don't look at other places anymore?" Zheng Shangming asked as he walked behind.

"No need." Jiang Wang said, "There is only one last key to unlocking the truth."

"I thought only Chong Xuan Sheng liked to play riddles. Why don't you learn from me?"

Zheng Shangming's tone was relaxed. Maybe he was sure that Jiang Wang couldn't get the last key, or maybe he was closer to the truth.

In short, what he is more worried about now is who will bridge the power vacuum between him and his father.

A weak person cannot be the commander of the Northern Court, but a strong person usually has big ambitions. It is not impossible that he will be kicked out after he gets the position, and he will not be given the opportunity to take over.

The two stayed in Changsheng Palace for a short period of time, so short that the team of detectives outside the palace gate had not finished the second topic.

This period of time was also long, long enough for another green-card detective who came to report the news to arrive outside Changsheng Palace.

"Sir Zheng, the latest news!"

Zheng Shangming stepped forward quickly, took the urgent letter from the green-card detective, opened it and took a look.

After a slight pause, he handed the letter to Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang was very curious about what the urgent news was that did not need to be hidden from him, so he took it and unfolded it to see -

"The resigned divine detective Wu Lie is confirmed dead, and his body was found in the waters near Haimen Island and has been sent back to Linzi in an emergency."

Wu Lie is dead...

Wu Lie is dead just like that?

So far, the "South Wu Bei Lin" that was once glorious and famous in the East Region has become nothing.

Jiang Wang was surprisingly not surprised by the news of Wu Lie's death.

As early as when he knew that Wu Lie was investigating the Daze Tian family alone and Tian Huanwen had attacked Wu Lie, Jiang Wang had a vague feeling that this day would come.

Wu Lie was on a road of no return.

As he said, life and death had long been out of his mind.

But Jiang Wang did not expect it to come so suddenly.

So many years have passed.

He had survived so many storms, but he fell when the truth was about to surface.

"Who went to pick up the body?" Zheng Shangming asked.

The constable replied: "Yang Wei and Deputy Envoy Yang went to pick it up personally, and the captain received the coffin in the North Yamen."

Wu Lie devoted most of his life to the Qingpai system, and only left Qingpai after Lin Kuang's death. His contribution to the Qingpai system and to the North Yamen can never be erased.

Yang Weitong, the deputy inspector who holds real power, went to welcome the body, and the Beiya Duwei personally waited in the inspector's mansion to welcome the coffin, which was also reasonable.

Even if strictly speaking, Wu Lie had been out of office for many years and no longer had a green card on his waist, who can deny that he is a totem-like existence in the Qingpai system?

The so-called God of Hunting Yue Leng is just a junior in front of him.

To this day, there are too many rules in Qingpai case handling, which were set by people of Wu Lie's generation. There are too many methods of handling cases that follow the old times. Among them, the two great detectives Wu Lie and Lin Kuang have the greatest influence.

Wu Lie and Lin Kuang are equally famous. Wu Lie is much older than Lin Kuang. The two sides are friends regardless of age. It can be said that they are both teachers and friends.

Relatively speaking, Wu Lie also has a higher status in the Qingpai system.

The inspector's mansion must express enough attitude towards Wu Lie's death. All those who hang a green card on their waists must express enough respect to Wu Lie himself.

This is not even about personal feelings, but a kind of inheritance of past history.

Zheng Shangming looked at Jiang Wang, and said in a complicated tone: "Let's go, let's go to Beiya and wait together."

"We should go and wait." Jiang Wang said.

However, he knew.

The clues of Gu Xing on Bajiao Island... should be broken.

In other words, he and Lin Youxie lost the last key to the truth.
