Chapter 680 Secret Information

The jailers here are no different from those outside, and it is difficult for prisoners sent to Yang Palace to get out again, so it is common to deduct prisoners' expenses and meals.

But the jailer was polite to Qingyang Imperial Master, let alone his subordinates.

Qingyang Imperial Master picked up the food box and walked to the table, sitting down to eat.

Others were worried and unable to eat in the first few days of being locked up in Yang Palace. But she ate and slept, as if she had let go of everything.

Today's prison meal is two large yellow steamed buns, each bigger than her palm, steamed soft and fluffy, with a piece of half-fat and half-lean fragrant braised pork belly and stir-fried bean sprouts in the middle.

There is also a big red apple and a bowl of Hericium erinaceus stewed chicken soup.

When other prisoners saw this meal, their mouths would drool all over the floor. But for Qingyang Imperial Master, before entering the prison, she hadn't eaten such... down-to-earth food for many, many years.

The chicken soup was too full, and I don’t know if it was because the attendant or the jailer bumped it too much when bringing it in, but in any case, the soup spilled all over the bottom of the food box.

Qingyang Imperial Master just picked up the meat bun and took a bite, and found that the soup at the bottom of the food box began to shrink.

This may be a natural phenomenon, because the bottom of the box is painted red and waterproof.

But Qingyang Imperial Master glanced at the back of the jailer outside the prison, and intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the candle on the wall, and casually put the lid of the box half on the food box, just blocking the change of the bottom of the box.

This action is particularly natural, and many people also put the lid of the box in this way.

For Qingyang Imperial Master, the candlelight on the wall is more worthy of vigilance than the jailer. The long-burning candles in the Heavenly Palace have various magical uses, and the most basic one is monitoring and insight.

Since she is in Yang Palace, her every move is monitored by the gods.

But at the moment, it is very likely that only Qingyang Imperial Master saw the mystery at the bottom of the box:

The soup quickly gathered and turned into dozens of words.

Nian Zanli's Nanxinzhuang warehouse found snails and a large amount of Prunella vulgaris, with purchase records and witnesses.

A few words but a big deal.

Especially the words "snail" and "Prunella vulgaris", which made the pupils of Qingyang Guoshi, a calm person, shrink slightly.

After just a few breaths, the soup dispersed and the words disappeared.

This magical power was performed without a trace.

Qingyang Guoshi ate the steamed buns slowly, then blew the chicken soup to cool it down and drank it, with thoughts circling quickly in his mind.

As the person behind the killing of the monster and taking the pearl, she certainly knew that Nian Zanli had nothing to do with snails, Prunella vulgaris, or even the entire immortal medicine case.

The sudden appearance of snails and Prunella vulgaris in Nian Zanli's warehouse was most likely a frame-up.

Why choose this time?

Is it because it is more convenient for snails and toads to go out after the heavy rain?

No, it should be more than that simple. She was arrested just a few days ago, and the snail toad that disappeared for two months appeared in Lingxu City?

Wait a minute, is it because she betrayed Dong Rui?

In the eyes of outsiders, the snail toad appeared in Nian Zanli's warehouse, which can only mean that General Nian is also related to the immortality medicine case.

But in the eyes of Qingyang State Master and other insiders, the focus of this case is on the source of the divine blood!

She has already explained to the Heavenly Palace that the source of the divine blood is Dong Rui, and this person is likely to be lurking in Lingxu City.

And the snail toad is Dong Rui's masterpiece.

Now, the snail toad appeared in Nian Zanli's warehouse, feasting on summer cypress.

This equation can be directly drawn, which is equivalent to the divine blood and Nian Zanli related?

Don't forget that a few days ago, an old oak tree in a private house on Xiangmai Street suddenly mutated, and the neighbor's sheep demon ate its leaves and went crazy, killing people and destroying the street, making a big fuss.

Two points have been found out afterwards:

First, the mutation of the old oak tree may be caused by the divine blood.

Secondly, the source of the commotion was that the servants in the house were cleaning up the items left by the previous owner and accidentally smashed them on the roots of the oak tree.

In other words, the previous owner secretly possessed the divine blood.

Who was this person?

Nian Zanli.

Both cases were related to Nian Zanli. To put it bluntly, the divine blood and the immortality medicine case, two deadly points that even the upper nobles dared not touch, are now all on Nian Zanli.

Her first thought was that this was deliberately done by Master Shuangye. After all, Dong Rui and Xi Yunhe are both under his command, aren't they?

Should she follow his wishes?

But this was strange, because she knew in her heart that Master Shuangye really wanted to take this opportunity to dig out the god behind her.

He had finally set up this situation, how could he give up halfway?

Or, now that he has the advantage, how could he let it go?

What's more, there is a god standing behind Master Shuangye. Now that this has happened, did he act on his own, or did the gods behind him intend to ease the situation?

The struggle between the gods is like her relationship with Master Shuangye, sometimes peaceful, sometimes smooth, and sometimes to the death!

She finished her meal, and the jailer came in to take away the leftovers.

Master Qingyang took a soft towel to wipe his mouth, walked to the glass window, and sat facing the mountain view.

Or perhaps, other forces in Lingxu City were also involved?

Should she seize this opportunity?

She has been practicing the art of judging the situation for almost two hundred years. But at the moment, she is still very conflicted and entangled.

Is it more important to drag Master Shuangye into the water, or to close the case as soon as possible and regain her freedom?

If this page is not turned over, her new chapter will not begin.

Two hours later.

Bai Ziqi walked into the depths of Yang Palace and saw Master Qingyang sitting facing the setting sun, leaving only his back.

He made heavy footsteps, but the other party seemed not to notice.

Bai Ziqi approached, and the jailer immediately opened the door for him.

He walked into the cell, stopped at the side of the prisoner, and coughed lightly: "Master Qingyang."

After the second call, Master Qingyang slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly:

"Envoy Bai."

"Have you lived comfortably these days?" Bai Ziqi looked outside, "Did Yanggong neglect you?"

"Everything is fine." Master Qingyang looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Ziqi raised his eyebrows: "Do you know?"

"If nothing happened outside, how could a busy man like Envoy Bai have time to come and visit a useless old woman?" Master Qingyang laughed at himself.

Bai Ziqi looked at her carefully.

Even with the setting sun, the famous master of Qing Palace lost his original rosy complexion, and there seemed to be two more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Her beauty was fading at the same time as her halo.

Of course, Bai Ziqi would not be soft-hearted. What he was thinking was, although Master Qingyang was trapped here, was he really completely cut off from the outside world?

"Speaking of the list of people who bought the elixir..."

"I'm sorry, I've already told you to burn it down with the Qingfu Temple." Master Qingyang sighed, "How could I leave evidence against me?"

"Master Qingyang didn't write down the big customers?"

Master Qingyang smiled, "All these trivial matters are done by the Qingfu Temple, how can I have the time to turn them over page by page?"

Bai Ziqi also smiled, "It's a pity. The memorial from King Baoshu just arrived today, and it mentioned several names, saying that it was a list of suspicious people who had taken the elixir. I want to ask the emperor to help investigate after catching the mastermind behind the scenes."

After that, he held out a memorial, spread it on the table, and pointed to the few lines of words in red for Master Qingyang to see.

Master Qingyang came over, and was secretly shocked when he saw those names.

Good King Baoshu, this is adding insult to injury.

Bai Ziqi was calm and composed: "I am conveying the emperor's words, asking if you have any impression of these names?"

Qingyang State Master's eyes moved slightly.

The emperor's words?

She did not doubt that this was really the intention of the demon emperor. This matter was serious, and Bai Ziqi did not dare to falsely convey the emperor's intention.

Yes, there are many buyers of the immortality medicine, and it would be difficult to explain if a few were not arrested. Neither the common people nor the gods would be satisfied.

She had countless thoughts in her mind, and weighed them several times before pointing out a few names on the list: "Now that you mention it, I really remember it. Well, these few have bought it, and more than once."

Bai Ziqi carefully asked about the purchase of these few families, and Qingyang State Master told him everything he knew.

Du Yunshi personally took notes and handed them to Qingyang State Master: "Confirm that it is correct, then sign it."

Qingyang State Master's signature and fingerprint indicated that someone in the royal court was going to be in big trouble.

The wealth, power, and fame accumulated by these aristocratic families for decades or even hundreds of years are about to go down the drain because of a few casual remarks by Qingyang State Master.

This feeling of holding power... Qingyang State Master exhaled lightly. What a pity, this is the last time he can experience it.

"I came here today to ask you about someone." Bai Ziqi took out a pot of wine and two silver cups from his storage ring, "Want a couple of sips?"

Qingyang State Master smiled.

Bai Ziqi filled her cup, she took it up and sniffed it twice and said, "Mantingfang, at least thirty years old."

The Lord of the Qing Palace is of course very particular about what she eats and uses. This "Mantingfang" is one of her favorite fine wines. It is soft and meaningful in the mouth, with a long aftertaste. It is a special supply from the East.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink it in the future.

Of course, Qingyang State Master was as calm as water when tasting the wine, without showing any sound. Bai Ziqi, who was sitting opposite, was a smiling tiger. He was only kind on the surface, but in fact he was a sharp blade of the Heavenly Palace.

The two fought over the immortality medicine case, going back and forth for several rounds.

Before finding the temple keeper "Kong Jiaxiang", the fish that escaped the Qingfu Temple, Qingyang State Master was one step ahead of Bai Ziqi in everything, and handled almost all the clues cleanly, leaving him with nowhere to start, and being caught between the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor and public opinion.

Now that she has been caught, Bai Ziqi's visit to her is itself a demonstration.

She will not mention the truth or falsehood of Kong Jiaxiang again, it is meaningless.

"How much does Qingyang State Master know about General Nian Zanli Nian?"

As expected, she came for this matter. Qingyang State Master kept the cup in his hand: "I recognize him."

"I heard that he has always wanted to counterattack Yuan Country, and Qingyang State Master has also acted as a lobbyist for him to borrow troops several times."

"This man is determined and is a master at transporting and training troops."

Bai Ziqi smiled: "It is said that my Beijia has many famous generals."

Qingyang State Master glanced at him: "It is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is difficult to get a general. Which country would be so arrogant as not to want to recruit a few more strong generals?"
