Chen Jia was stunned for a moment, then she laughed awkwardly, "Rui Qing, the silver hairpin on my head is not a precious item. It is not worthy of your status."

In fact, what she wanted to say was that a man is not suitable for a woman with a silver hairpin.

Wei Lang was very satisfied that Chen Jia subconsciously called him Ruiqing. The smile on his face became even brighter, and he took out an identical silver hairpin from his sleeve.

Wei Lang waved to Chen Jia, and Chen Jia cooperated and moved closer to him. He took off the silver hairpin on her bun and replaced it with a new one for her.

"Rui Qing, what are you doing..."

Wei Lang played with the silver hairpin in his hand, "I know about your falling out with the Yang family."

"Well, Yang Hui was spoiled before, and I just let her know when to stop."

"I am very satisfied that I have completely broken away from the past." Wei Lang looked at the silver hairpin in his hand, "This can be regarded as a witness."

"Witness what?"

"There are fewer people around you. I will ask a craftsman to remake this hairpin so that I can wear it more easily."

Chen Jia's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the tea splashed on her fingertips. She took out a handkerchief and wiped them without leaving a trace.

Wei Lang glanced at Chen Jia, his smile was like a summer breeze, strong and hot.

This guy Wei Lang...hiss...does he have a strong sense of ritual in his heart?

Chen Jia didn't think too much about it, but changed the subject. If she couldn't continue with this ambiguity, she would find it a little hard to bear.

"Can you show me Sima Fei'er's clues?"

"it is good."

Wei Lang was straightforward and took her around and around until they came to a secret room.

When she opened the secret room, she saw piles of wastebaskets, which were classified into different categories, and the secret letters in each basket were different.

Wei Lang took out a secret letter from the southeast trash basket and handed it to Chen Jia. Chen Jia smelled the scent of beeswax on the secret letter. The beeswax had a strong aroma and it seemed that the news had been delivered not long ago.

The secret letter stated that Sima Fei'er was purchasing supplies in Shouchun City on the day the city fell, and the supplies included a large amount of sand.

Chen Jia immediately discovered the problem. She asked in confusion, "Huaiyang already has sand, why do we have to go to Shouchun to buy it?"

Wei Lang moved closer to Chen Jia, and he stroked the back of her hand seemingly unintentionally. The numbing feeling made her face flush, and she felt her hair stand on end when she heard the heavy, fiery breathing beside her ears.

She was not used to being so close to a man, and her heart beat faster unconsciously. She looked away and blinked continuously.

When Wei Lang saw Chen Jia's shy look, he smiled secretly, took out another secret letter from the trash basket, and pretended not to notice her embarrassment.

"Rumor has it that when Shouchun City was captured, there was a large amount of yellow phosphorus in the southeast corner of the wall."

“Yellow phosphorus?!”

Chen Jia regained consciousness and knew what yellow phosphorus was. It was a yellowish-white powder obtained by mixing urine residue, sand and charcoal, heating it and cooling it with water. It was also called white phosphorus.

"If lime is mixed with yellow phosphorus and then with water, do you know the result?"

Chen Jia opened her eyes wide. She remembered the night she escaped from the city with Ajue. The blue-white flames shot up into the sky from the southeast corner! Many people said that it was the ghost soldiers of the enemy country passing through the battlefield, and the ghost fire was taking revenge. Could it be that Sima Fei'er had planned this? !

If it was really Sima Fei'er's plan, she could not be convicted simply by purchasing sand. After all, Shouchun was not far from Huaiyang, and Sima Fei'er could purchase sand to make sandbags for city defense.

"How do you know she didn't purchase the sand to strengthen the city's defenses?"

"Because she had accumulated a lot of feces and urine in Shouchun."

"Shit and piss?! She is also in charge of making golden water?!"

"Correct."

"So she had enough urine to extract the yellow phosphorus, and enough time."

Wei Lang smiled and rubbed the top of Chen Jia's head. Chen Jia's face turned red again. Is she just a little girl in his eyes?

"She has the conditions, but I don't have any evidence yet. So, I invite you to collect them together."

“Are there any directions for collecting?”

"Normally, Huaiyang City should have enough for her to make gold water, but she wanted to make it in Shouchun. You were also in the city at that time, so you should have an impression of her."

Impression? At that time, all her attention was on protecting Ajue's safety, and inspecting the preparation of bows, crossbows, and feather arrows. She had no time to care about who was in charge of Jinshui.

Besides, Sima Fei'er was unknown at the time, so there was no need for her to pay attention to an insignificant passerby.

However, just because she didn't care at the time doesn't mean she has no impression at all.

Chen Jia recalled carefully, had she met Sima Fei'er? Or, how did her master ask Sima Fei'er to come to Shouchun after she was admitted to Huaiyang?

Wei Lang asked in a low voice, "Did you think of anything?"

"I don't have much impression of her. I only vaguely remember that Master said that an important person from Huaiyang was going to be escorted here, and asked me and Ajue to guard the prison."

"Important person? Do you remember what he looks like?"

"that person……"

Chen Jia felt a chill all over her body. She remembered what that man looked like. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. He was castrated alive, his tongue was pulled out, and his body was covered in feces and urine.

The man looked at her with a crazy look, as if he was seeking death.

"Did you remember anything?"

"That man was in a miserable state, covered in wounds. He looked as if he had just been castrated and humiliated by feces and urine. He was completely insane."

"Do you remember who brought you here? Did your master say anything else?"

Who brought them here? She didn't have a deep impression, after all, they were all strangers from Huaiyang, and she couldn't remember.

But Master...

"I don't know who brought him here. But after my master saw that man, he made a special trip to clean his wounds. He also told me and Ajue to treat him well. Later, when the city was captured, I was only concerned with taking Ajue to escape and didn't care about him anymore. You ask me this, that man must be very important. Who is he?"

"The third prince of Qi, the famous god of war, Gao Zhan."

Gao Zhan?! Could it be that the person who looked like a nobody and even confused was Gao Zhan?!

No wonder Qi attacked Shouchun City at such a desperate speed. No wonder after the city was captured, the Qi army killed everyone they saw. No wonder, no wonder!

It is a shame for Qi that Gao Zhan was tortured like that, and Qi will not leave him alive.

Chen Jia came to her senses and understood the fundamental reason why Wei Lang asked her to come here. "You mean, there was a person named Sima Fei'er in the escort team from Huaiyang to Shouchun. Do you suspect that Sima Fei'er abused Gao Zhan and caused the fall of Shouchun?"

"Correct."

Chen Jia gasped. If this was true, how did Sima Feier get the reputation of a female military advisor and how did she get praised as a female Zhuge Liang? The whole story needed to be thoroughly investigated.

"At that time, in addition to Master pleading for Sima Fei'er, someone in the court also presented a petition to her, and that's why His Majesty gave her the beautiful name of the Female Zhuge Liang, right?"

"You are also familiar with this person. He is the nephew of Minister Chen, Jia Mo, the Minister of the Honglu Temple."

Jia Mo?! In the previous life, among those young men who called Ajue to go out and play, one of them was Jia Mo.

It seems that everything is connected! Sima Fei'er is not just Sima Fei'er, and Ajue's death in the previous life was not a simple death!

"Where is he now? How can we find out?"

Wei Lang grabbed Chen Jia's hand. Chen Jia tried to shake it off, but he held it tightly and took her into a secret passage. After passing through the long secret passage, they came to a wall with a hole.

There was a bamboo cylinder on the wall, and they could clearly hear what was happening on the other side of the wall from behind.

The sound of Jamo's extravagant and dissolute voice came from inside. It seemed that Jamo was next door.

Wei Lang put his hand on Chen Jia's lips and whispered in her ear, "Shh, listen to what he says first."

Chen Jia blushed. She had never thought that Wei Lang would be such a person who liked to make moves when they were alone.
