Chapter 528 Bai Ziqi, New Arrival

"Envoy Du Yun serves the gods and rarely interacts with courtiers." Fu Shanyue said seriously, "The one they see most is the emperor!"

Are you sending a special envoy who doesn't take sides?

Is Lingxu City's attitude impartial?

"In Beijia, the status of the attendants of the Star-Zhain Tower and the lantern-keeper are very high, not to mention Duyunshi." Fu Shanyue said quickly, "This Baidushi often walks around in accordance with the will of the gods. You will see you soon. It’s here, don’t neglect it!”

When these last four words came out of the mouth of the lawless Fu Shanyue, He Lingchuan knew that the person coming was something special.

Aren't these the clergy who serve the gods?

Fu Shanyue stood up and went out to greet him personally.

There were already two people in the inn lobby, and one of them turned out to be Fan Sheng.

Fu Shanyue walked over and said with a smile: "Master Bai, long time no see!" Then he nodded to Fan Sheng, "Commander Fan."

The other visitor, let alone good-looking, looked not only mediocre, but even a little trivial. Standing next to Fan Sheng was a huge difference.

But He Lingchuan did not dare to despise him.

On the one hand, Fu Shanyue, who had always been domineering, changed his attitude when facing Bai Ziqi; on the other hand, Du Yunshi's first function was to serve the gods. In terms of the God-respecting system of the people of Bejia, there was no need to talk about the selection of waiters. Eyes, and at least good appearance, to show respect for the gods.

Bai Ziqi has such a distinguished appearance, but he can still be the deputy envoy of Duyun, so he must be extraordinary.

Let's talk about Fan Sheng, the arrogant second-in-command of the Tongxin Guards, standing behind Bai Ziqi at the moment.

When Bai Ziqi saw Fu Shanyue, he was also smiling: "Your Highness! Haha, last time we met, I was the eldest son, and now I am your Highness, congratulations!"

When he smiles, there is a strange contagiousness that makes him seem less annoying.

The two people had known each other before, exchanged a few words of greetings, and asked each other to sit down.

Fan Sheng and He Lingchuan also sat down respectively.

Bai Ziqi directly explained his purpose of coming without any official accent: "I was originally in the Twilight Plains, but the Emperor Feiying gave me an urgent order and rushed me here on errands."

"Twilight Plains?" Fu Shanyue was startled, "No wonder it's so fast. I thought it would take less than half a month to send envoys from the imperial capital."

Twilight Plains is located in the south of Chiyan. It is some distance away from here, but it is still much faster than starting from Lingxu City.

"It must be like this in the past." Bai Ziqi sighed, "Isn't it just that I'm outside? The emperor probably didn't want to see the old men arguing in front of him, so he pointed at me from afar, and I hurriedly came."

"Did Commander Bai go to Twilight Plains on business?" Fushan Yuecai didn't believe that he only stayed in Twilight Plains. A few steps to the north, you will enter the border of Chiyan Country. 90% of these goods have passed the customs and entered the country!

Why did the envoy of Lingxu City sneak into the territory of Chiyan Kingdom without making a sound?

"Of course, do you think I like to wander around with nothing to do?" Bai Ziqi laughed and brought the topic back, "The whereabouts of the youngest of the Zhongsun family are still unknown?"

"The monster that devoured him has not appeared again." Fu Shanyue said with a heavy expression, "It's not optimistic."

He turned back and pointed at He Lingchuan: "The emperor designated the case of the missing White-shouldered Eagle Messenger to be investigated and handled by the Chiyan Kingdom. My father did not dare to neglect it. This is the special envoy appointed by me personally to investigate the case. He followed the clues all the way from Zhitian Township and unexpectedly found out what he is now. Big fish."

Big fish, of course, refers to Cen Boqing.

Sitting next to him was He Lingchuan. Bai Ziqi had looked at him several times and then let out a long oh, "I heard that you are from Fu country?"

He Lingchuan met his gaze: "Exactly."

"Tell me about this case from beginning to end. The more detailed it is, the better."

Although he had read Fushan Yue Ti's case statement, the content there was definitely not as detailed as the person handling the case.

He Lingchuan said it exactly as it was, trying to be as concise as possible without adding any exaggeration or jealousy.

Of course, I won't mention the fact that Mai Xuewen came to visit him privately. After Zhong Sunmou was killed, He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue exchanged their confessions more than once and decided to hide this "little thing" to avoid misunderstanding by the envoys of Lingxu City.

He had only been working on this case for a short time, only a few months, but the content was complicated and tortuous, and it took him almost half an hour to basically finish describing it.

During this period, beads, portraits, and the "Record of Worshiping Gods" used by Mai Xuewen to solve puzzles were also brought out.

Fan Sheng was quiet throughout the whole process and didn't say a word.

Bai Ziqi listened very carefully and occasionally asked questions, but He Lingchuan answered everything he knew.

He had long made up his mind that what he had to do when facing the Lingxu City envoy was to be "honest".

Restore the original appearance of the incident and expose the entire process to the sun as much as possible so that no one can find anything wrong with a magnifying glass. Then He Lingchuan himself will be safe.

After retelling the case, Bai Ziqi said "Okay, okay" three times, and then said: "It sounds like the special envoy handled the case appropriately. In other words, the current difficulty lies with Wu Kai. His identification, Is it the key to Cen Boqing’s conviction?”

"Exactly."

"If he doesn't plead guilty, both himself and Cen Boqing are not guilty." Bai Ziqi shook his head, "Isn't the case stuck here? Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Wu Kai's subordinate Yang Song has already confessed and identified him." Fu Shanyue answered, "But there is no physical evidence. Wu Kai is very cautious. If you have a good strategy, please ask Baidu Envoy for advice."

"I am new here, so I need to listen more and see more." Bai Ziqi acted very modestly. "In addition, the prince thinks that Cen Boqing colluded with Zhongsun Mou and made false confessions for the messenger case to cover up the truth? This is a very serious accusation."

The Zhongsun family, the Cen family, and Da Sinong, the three powerful families in Lingxu City of Chiyan Kingdom were offended in one fell swoop.

"Fu Songhua, the felon they accused of being the murderer, and Pang Denian, Wu Kai's subordinate who was responsible for bribing the jailer and colluding in the prison, are both in custody and have written confessions."

"Where is Fu Songhua's confession?"

Fu Shanyue had prepared it long ago and asked someone to bring it to him.

Bai Ziqi spread it out and read it page by page very carefully.

He Lingchuan noticed that he read it almost word by word, especially the last few pages, which he only turned once in a long time, and his face became more and more solemn.

Why did he spend more time reading the last few pages than the total of the previous ones?

He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly and he remembered something.

Cen Boqing had prepared for a rainy day and had prepared a false confession long ago. Once the truth came out, he would put the blame on the fugitive Fu Songhua.

But there was one thing that Cen Boqing could not avoid, that is, he had to explain clearly in the false confession why the "mastermind" Fu Songhua knew the departure time and route of the white-shouldered eagle messenger?

Otherwise, how could he prove that he was a spy?

Therefore, Fu Songhua "must" have an insider in Lingxu City.

Such a name did appear in the confession.

But because the disappearance of the white-shouldered eagle messenger was an accident, even Cen Boqing himself could not predict it.

He had to add new content to the false confession he had prepared, and it would be difficult not to reveal his tracks if he wanted to disguise the accident as intentional.

Therefore, the name of this "insider" was very critical.

Lingxu City would only accept this false confession if it found something based on this.

After reading it, Bai Ziqi thought for a long time, and then said: "The biggest doubt in this case is that Mai Xuewen's behavior does not make sense."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue both had question marks on their faces.

"He doesn't live in Baishaju at all, he didn't even buy a house here, and he only came here twice a year at most. Why can his food, clothing and daily necessities be linked to Baishaju? It seems that he is afraid that others don't know."

He Lingchuan's expression did not change, and he was slightly frightened in his heart. These clues are buried in the complicated case, one end in the east and one in the west. The contents of Fu Shanyue's memorial were just a simple list, but Bai Ziqi could find something strange in it.

He Lingchuan felt strange at first because he was handling the case in person, and he was on the scene, so he could see and feel it.

And Bai Ziqi could find the doubts through the simple and cold files.

He is really worthy of being the special envoy entrusted with an important task by the Demon Emperor.

"Maybe he just likes these tunes?" Fu Shanyue shrugged, "Just like Chiyan also produces chewing tobacco, but I only like the ones from Baoshu Country."

"Even if I don't say it, the Cen family and Zhongsun family will use these doubts to attack the prince in the future." Bai Ziqi pointed at him tactfully, and then said, "By the way, where is the suspect surnamed Wu detained? I want to see him."

"Here." Fu Shanyue glanced at He Lingchuan, "Fu Songhua was previously imprisoned in the county jail, but the jailer was bribed by the Cen Mansion, and it is no longer safe there."

He Lingchuan suddenly stood up and jumped out of the hall.

He moved quickly, and he disappeared in a flash.

Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "What is this?"

What happened outside?

Fu Shanyue just spoke at the same time: "It's evening, Envoy Bai will have dinner here, right? I have a few of the best chefs in Baisha. Baisha is rich in products, and the things swimming in the water and flying in the sky are delicious when cooked together. It's not easy to eat such fresh food in Lingxu City."

"I appreciate the prince's kindness." Bai Ziqi looked at the sky, "I have to go to Cen's mansion later."

Fu Shanyue said, "Is Envoy Bai going to Cen's mansion again?"

"I have to listen to both sides." Bai Ziqi smiled, "The case is not easy to handle, and the emperor attaches great importance to it."

He couldn't just listen to the prince's words, Cen Boqing's side's statement was also one of the key points of the emperor's instructions.

"If the case was easy to handle, why would we bother Bai Dushi?" Fu Shanyue coughed, "If it is found that Cen Boqing is the real mastermind behind the scenes, what will Bai Dushi do?"

"Investigate according to the law." Bai Ziqi said meaningfully, "I said that the emperor takes it very seriously."

"What if there is someone behind Cen Boqing?" This is what the father and son of the King of Chiyan care about most.

Bai Ziqi smiled: "Take it step by step, why should the prince be in a hurry?"

Fu Shanyue sighed: "Before I came here, my father specifically told me. This case must be investigated thoroughly, and the real culprit must be arrested, and a satisfactory explanation must be given to the victims of Chiyan!"

In short, the attitude of the King of Chiyan can be summed up in eight words:

Investigate to the end and never give up.

Fu Shanyue was about to speak when the fierce tiger Jiao Yu rushed in from outside, so fast that he left a shadow, and there was no nonsense in his mouth:

"The suspect vomited blood!"
