[The Wind Rises in Luoyang] The Extraordinary Branches of the Festival

When the informer was hunted down, Princess Yongchuan was playing in Nanshi.What no one knew was that Princess Jiale was also there.She is in the restaurant opposite Dangyang Restaurant.

"Oh, God's capital is not peaceful." Jia Le put down the binoculars and sighed.

"Princess, the father and daughter don't know who they are," the maid Nongyue said, "It looks like they are from other places, and I don't know Baili Erlang, what do you want him for?"

"He came from Cangshan, looking for Erlang to inform him." Jia Le would whisper, but he "saw" their conversation without hearing it.

Guard Fufeng: "Princess, do you want to take care of it?"

Jia Le picked up the teacup, "Aren't Lord Yuehua and Neiwei here? Let's not meddle in our own business."

As soon as Fufeng showed up, everyone knew that she had sneaked out.

Li Junyao, Princess of Jiale, is different from her cousin Li Lu, Princess of Yongchuan.She went out of the mansion in disguise, and brought Fufeng and Nongyue with her; as soon as Yongchuan went out, the Neiwei Mansion wished to dispatch all the staff.

There are many internal guards here, how difficult is it to catch a pursuer?

At this time, the doubt in her heart was the same as that of Baili Erlang: the informer told the news, instead of looking for the Chen Qingsi, he went to Dangyang Restaurant wholeheartedly, why did he ask Erlang from Baili's family?

Moreover, he clearly knew that someone was chasing him, so he finally met with him. He didn't say anything about the informant, but he said a lot of things about being assassinated along the way.

What grievances are you still complaining about at this time?Shouldn't the news be conveyed as soon as possible?

"The princess doesn't know something," Fufeng said, "I heard that the cruel officials fell a few years ago, and there was no secret to report, and the Chenqing Department has become useless. Now it has withdrawn."

Just as Jiale was about to raise his hand, Nongyue stopped him and said, "Princess, let's go back when the street stops for a while. Whether it's informers or pursuers, aren't there guards in charge? Are you really interested?" , when they catch someone, let Fufeng go and investigate."

Jia Le thought about it, and lowered her slightly raised hand.

"Alright. Fufeng, we'll go back to the mansion later, you go to the Neiwei mansion to inquire about the news."

However, everyone soon discovered that things developed a little unexpectedly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to assassinate Yongchuan?" Jiale was surprised.

This is going to be a mess.The informer and the little lady were at odds.

"Let's go," Jia Le got up, "Let's go out for a walk too."

Nongyue was so anxious that she couldn't stop her, so she had to follow Fufeng closely.

This circle walked a little far, and walked to the construction site of the Paradise Project.

"Let me tell you, this marriage is settled! You have to get married if you want to, and you have to get married if you don't want to!" Bai Liyan shouted at the back of his son.

Jia Le came over with a hand-cranked fan and smiled, "Shangshu Baili, are you forcing a marriage again?"

Bai Liyan looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and couldn't help being taken aback.

Princess Yongchuan has returned to the palace safely, and at this time she is bowing in the arms of the princess with aggrieved eyes.The inner guard Feng Yulang Wu Youjue, and his younger sister Yuehuajun Wu Siyue bowed their heads and knelt down to listen to the reprimand of the princess's yin and yang.

Bai Liyan was sitting in the "Yujian Chunjiu" Qingcha Club, "Princess, today there are many assassins in Nanshi, how can you walk around without bringing an inner guard? What should the sage know?"

Jia Le smiled and said, "Don't worry, isn't it all right? Speaking of which, what does Shangshu Baili think, that he must force Erlang to marry Qiniang from the Liu family?"

Bai Liyan sighed, "To tell you the truth, Erlang has reached his age, and he will get married sooner or later. In that case, it is better to marry Qiniang of the Liu family. The two have known each other since they were young, and Qiniang has affection for him. The first is that we have climbed high..."

Jia Le said: "Shangshu Baili didn't think it was wrong? Everyone said 'marry low and marry high', are you marrying a daughter-in-law or a son? And the Liu family, why did you agree to this marriage?"

"The Liu family has always had a high threshold and a high vision. Liu Qiniang has accepted countless marriage certificates. The high-ranking family doesn't want it, and the royal family disdains it, so they chose your family's Erlang."

"If it's Qiniang's deep love for Erlang, Liu Xiang dotes on Qiniang, but the marriage is a big deal, the two surnames are married, Liu Xiang is just Qiniang's uncle, and the head of the Liu family is still there, so he makes the decision?"

"Baili Shangshu, if the Patriarch of the Liu family loves his daughter, I can understand that this matter is decided by the master; but this is clearly decided by Liu Xiang, and it is inconsistent with emotion and reason! Isn't he afraid that his elder brother will blame him in the future?"

"Especially your heavenly project, where you don't even know the pine and willow trees, and your Erlang resigned from the Ministry of Industry. I don't know how long the construction period will be delayed. When the saint blames you, you will be the first to be punished. Isn't Liu Xiang afraid of being implicated?"

"You may think that you have found a backer for Erlang, but unfortunately, this backer may not be reliable. Why would someone be willing to be a backer for someone? There must be some unknown benefits in it. Baili Shangshu, how many taels have you sold your son? Money?"

Bailiyan was startled.

Outside the East Palace.Wu Siyue was arguing with her elder brother: "...the assassination case in Nanshi is obviously suspicious. First, why was the princess assassinated because he was not involved in government affairs? Second, why did he kill innocent people indiscriminately? Third, why did the pursuer Do you want to take poison and kill yourself?"

South City.A scene after the catastrophe.The minister of Dali Temple, Gao Sheng, arrived in a hurry and ordered people to collect the body and investigate the murderer, hoping to unseal Nanshi as soon as possible.

The criminals were also snatched from the Neiwei Mansion by Dali Temple.The official business that can be handed over face to face has turned into a scene of fighting for success and poaching each other's corners.

But this is a good thing for Gao Bingzhu.Because at this time, he was working as an embalmer in Dali Temple.

Sure enough, as Jiale had expected, the informer was more vicious than good, and he escaped all the way after chasing and killing him. He finally reached the capital of God, but failed to escape.

Gao Bingzhu witnessed the bodies of the informer's father and daughter.The cross wounds on their bodies were exactly the same as those on his brother five years ago!

After being an embalmer for so many years, he finally saw such a wound again!

That killer with a halberd appeared again!

Five years ago, seven of his brothers died tragically.For five years, he has been obsessed with tracking down the murderer.But he only found out that it was related to the organization that should have been extinct long ago - Chunqiu Dao, and the murderer has never been found.

"Tell me, who is that killer with a halberd? Where is he now?"

Gao Bingzhu sneakily attacked the guards and entered the prisoner's cell.He stabbed the criminal three times, none of which was fatal.If this person is the killer who is good at the halberd, he will definitely let him die instantly.

However, the informer father and daughter were not killed by him.The man was holding a long sword.

People in Chunqiu Taoism have always been stubborn.This is the No.13 he encountered, the same.Gao Bingzhu didn't know anything from him, except that "there are only informers, but no informant letters".

No whistleblower letter.This is also a point of Jiale's doubts.After finally meeting someone, if you don't have time to speak, just stuff the informant letter, wouldn't it be fine?

Or if you can't see anyone at all, then find someone to deliver the trust, isn't it okay?

It just needs to be passed on by word of mouth...a secret that cannot be leaked from generation to generation?

If it were her, if it was too late to tell the secret, she would definitely make the secret known to everyone.There is nothing worse than this.

Yuyan Tower.

"What is the princess Jiale looking for?" Wu Siyue was in a hurry to go to Dali Temple, not wanting to be stopped by Jiale on the way.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Ah Yue and I have separated," Jia Le said with a smile.

Wu Siyue was embarrassed, but Jia Le continued to laugh and said, "Ah Yue is going to Dali Temple? In my opinion, forget it if you don't have official documents. It will only increase your tongue."

Just as Wu Siyue was about to defend herself, Jia Le waved her hand, "I didn't come here to stop you. I just wanted to ask you, I heard that an informer came to Shendu. Is there no one in your inner guard to respond?"

Wu Siyue was taken aback for a moment, "Informant? Someone in Nanshi assassinated Princess Yongchuan today, even innocent passers-by, and his subordinates are going to Dali Temple to investigate. The prisoner who is currently detained in Dali Temple is our Neiwei Mansion today. The only one caught alive."

"Where did the informer come from?"

Now it was Princess Jiale's turn to be startled, "In that case, you can go." She might as well ask Dali Temple directly.

"One more thing," Wu Siyue saluted, "I heard that the princess walked around Nanshi privately without notifying the inner guard today. This subordinate thinks it's inappropriate. If the princess has something to do, the inner guard The government cannot absolve itself of the blame. I also ask the princess to consider our internal guards more in future actions."

"It's fine for other days, the Nanshi is in such chaos today, why did the princess put himself in danger?"

"That is to say," Jia Le didn't think he was disobedient, and laughed, "I came out of Dangyang Winery and wandered around half of Nanshi until I reached Taichu Palace. 'Eight big characters were engraved on my head. No one paid me any attention."

"It seems that I have been away from God for a long time. Everyone only knows my cousin Yongchuan, and no one knows who I am."

Wu Siyue was taken aback, "The princess means..."

Jia Le smiled, "I didn't say anything. I just feel deeply sorry for your inner guards. The timing of the assassination of Princess Yongchuan is too unfortunate. If it wasn't for this, maybe the informer has been protected by you now."

"By the way, Princess Yongchuan today, why did you come to Nanshi to play?"

Wu Siyue was stunned.

Only then did Nongyue, who was serving beside her, understand why the princess had to walk around the street when there was chaos in the street.

After meeting Princess Jiale, Wu Siyue went to Dali Temple alone.As expected, Wu Siyue had a verbal argument with Gao Sheng without Feng Yulang's official seal.

Precisely at this moment, the jailer discovered that the prisoner had been stabbed.While Gao Sheng ordered people to treat her, he reported Wu Siyue to the Neiwei Mansion.

What's the mess with our Dali Temple?The prisoner was attacked at the opportunity, was it someone's conspiracy, or was it deliberately done by your inner guard to fight for profit?

Wu Siyue was severely reprimanded by her elder brother.Dirty water was splashed on her head, but Wu Siyue remained as if nothing had happened.Wu Youjue was deeply worried.

This younger sister has really been spoiled by him since she was a child!Acting so recklessly and recklessly, without realizing it, how can he protect himself in the court?If troubles arise in the future, even if he appears in person, he may not be able to keep her!

In order to let her avoid Dali Temple, Wu Youjue ordered her to investigate the whereabouts of the informer's father and daughter.

"Informant?" Wu Siyue was startled.How did Princess Jiale know in advance what she had just been told by her brother?

Sure enough, the Neiwei Mansion sent someone to respond, but it was empty!

Looking at the portrait, Wu Siyue remembered that she had seen this father and daughter on Nanshi Street.

According to Princess Jiale's wishes, could it be that they have already met with unexpected events?

After Baili Hongyi resigned from the Ministry of Industry, the title of "No. [-] Gourmand in the City of Gods" seems to be more suitable for him.

This morning, I went to the cheese shop in Chunhuafang to evaluate their cheese, and then went to Nanshi to eat the first bowl of mutton soup from Lao Tao's house.

It was also here that he met Gao Bingzhu for the first time.

Gao Bingzhu was the only one who knew so far that the informer's father and daughter were dead, and now Baili Hongyi became the second.

Except for the murderer, of course.

Soon, Wu Siyue became the third one.She went straight to Dali Temple again.The bodies of the informer father and daughter are here.

Coincidentally, more information about the informer was not found, and the murderer who was chasing them was stabbed to death.

Wu Siyue suspects that there is a mole in Dali Temple.Whether it was because of being stabbed three times and dying of serious injuries, or being killed by someone after being sent for medical treatment, Dali Temple cannot escape the blame.

How could Pei Jian, the head of the pavilion of Dali Temple, tolerate such a stigma? He was going to be strictly inspected immediately. Unexpectedly, Gao Bingzhu, the embalmer, stood up and said loudly: "I killed it."

Wu Siyue looked back suddenly, and saw the smile on the brows and eyes of the person who surrendered himself.

This was the first time she saw Gao Bingzhu.
