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

Wu Youjue searched the mountains at night to find Wu Siyue, his old disease relapsed and he was bedridden.Wu Siyue took the initiative to ask Ying to help with the security work of the Lantern Ceremony.

Wu Youjue said that he wanted to find her a helper, so he found Baili Hongyi.

Baili Hongyi took advantage of the situation and asked about his brother.

Wu Youjue said that he, Baili Kuanren, and Zhao Wang were once classmates and friends, and they had a close relationship.But he firmly told Baili Hongyi that Baili Kuanren was dead.The coffin was empty, the body was stolen.

"Wu Youjue is lying," Jia Le said, "It is possible to steal the corpse, but who stole the corpse and put stones in it? And sealed the coffin neatly?"

Baili Hongyi: "Yes. I just don't understand why he lied to me. He is my brother's friend. Shouldn't he tell me about my brother? He also reported a dead body with six fingers on his right hand Fool me."

"How could it be possible to die of fear within half a month? But Feng Yulang said that's what the medical worker said. The medical worker is also dead now, and there is nowhere to check."

"He knew that your brother was still alive, but he didn't tell you. He didn't want you to investigate further, and he blocked all the roads that could be investigated... Then he must know that your brother joined the Spring and Autumn Dao."

"Oh," Jia Le said, "I think I'd better accompany you into the palace and talk to the saint. This Wu Youjue always makes people feel uncomfortable. To be honest, I think he is a bit like your brother."

Baili Hongyi glanced at her.

"Look," Jia Le said, "he's dropped the whistleblower case a long time ago, right? There was an accident at the Weeping Willow Bank, and he hastily withheld a corruption case for your grandfather and closed it hastily. He and your brother The relationship is so good, did you go to marry him?"

Baili Hongyi interrupted her, "I'm not married."

Jia Le waved his hand, "I know, that's what I meant. You see, he didn't go to the wedding banquet in Baili Mansion, so he was very active in convicting your grandpa. He also said that the copper mines that were corrupted by ink were confiscated in Songliang's Gyeonggi Camp That's it. How much is there? It's just the group that Gao Bingzhu met that night."

"Did Wu Youjue take an active part in the case of Liu Xiang and Song Liang after that? Not only did he not investigate it himself, but he also refused to let Wu Siyue investigate. He also did not investigate the whereabouts of the copper mine. In his eyes, the case of the copper mine was closed. He was not in a hurry when the inner guard got out of the inner ghost. After finally catching Dai Zhou, he took the opportunity to get the title of British Duke. Gao Bingzhu and Bailang caught it. The Spring and Autumn Dao is a taboo in the hearts of saints, so he just covered it Don't let it be opened."

"I know he wants to whitewash the peace and make peace, but it's a bit too much. It's easy to be backlashed, but he doesn't seem to be worried at all."

"In short, when I thought your brother was an undercover agent, I felt that these two people were too similar. Their attitude towards Chunqiu Dao was exactly the same. They were indulgent and indulgent. They even wanted to help cover up and let Chunqiu Dao achieve what they wanted as soon as possible. .I couldn’t understand it at the time. But now that your elder brother is a person of Spring and Autumn Taoism, it is understandable.”

"As for Wu Youjue, it wasn't that he was assassinated by Song Liang. I really doubt that he is also Chunqiu Dao."

Baili Hongyi: "Song Liang obeys Zhang Qiu's envoy, maybe that's not what Zhang Chun envoy meant."

Jia Le: "But the assassination of the inner guard Feng Yulang, such a big matter, the Zhangchun envoy will not be unaware of it. I know it, but I don't stop it... Sigh, it seems that this is not the first time that the Zhangchun envoy has done such a thing."

The two looked at each other.

His grandfather was assassinated, and Zhang Chunshi had the same virtue.Informed, but not prevented.If he killed him, he would kill him. If he didn't succeed, he wouldn't go to the trouble of making up for it.

Just... it doesn't matter.

Sure enough, the envoy Zhangchun was going to do "big things".

Two days later is the lighting ceremony.Wu Siyue began to take up the post of guard, checking the defense work everywhere.

Then it was discovered that more than a dozen refugees who were supposed to be banned from entering the capital of the gods before the ceremony came in at once.

"what happened?!"

The subordinate hesitated, "If you don't wait for Beidou-kun to come back, you can ask him yourself."

"What does this have to do with Li Beiqi?!"

The seal of "Neiwei Beidou" was clearly printed on the Kanhe, and it was really Li Beiqi who put it in.

Then Wu Siyue discovered that Li Beiqi was missing, and more than a dozen refugees were also missing, and the addresses reported were all fake addresses.

"May I ask Mr. Yuehua, if you meet Mr. Beidou, if he arrests you, will you arrest him or shoot him?"

Wu Siyue paused, "Bring me back."

Everyone should be, but I don't know what they think in their hearts.

But soon Wu Siyue knew.Several people were discussing behind the scenes.It happened to be heard by her, "Li Beiqi will only see you for a day, so you arrange him! If you have something to do in the future, who will help you?"

Then he punished everyone to recite the inner guard's engraved training a hundred times.

Just...how should I put it?Is it time for you to punish someone?Even if you put it off for a hundred days after the lantern ceremony!It is better than taking up a quarter of an hour of manpower at this time.

However, Wu Siyue could ignore official duties, so she had to let Li Beiqi out on the spot.

Wu Youjue soon discovered that Li Beiqi was missing and questioned Wu Siyue.

"Now it's our own people who have a problem..."

Before Wu Youjue finished speaking, Wu Siyue interrupted, "Li Beiqi is fine!"

"No problem? What guarantee do you have?"

"I absolutely trust him. There must be something inside. Wouldn't it be nice to wait for him to come back and explain the matter clearly?"

Wu Siyue and Li Beiqi grew up together, and Li Beiqi has a deep affection for her, making her doubt Li Beiqi is almost as difficult as going to heaven.

Kang Jin's death changed someone, whether it was Wu Siyue or Li Beiqi, the traitor had already been caught.But Wu Siyue only cared about comforting Li Beiqi, and asked him to write a document about the incident.

So Jiale reasoned and analyzed, one is to entertain himself, and the other is to stop.

No one really believed her.Bailiyan didn't believe it, Gao Bingzhu didn't believe it, Wu Siyue didn't believe it.The only ones willing to listen to her talk were Fufeng and Nongyue.Later, Baili Hongyi was added.

It's good that no one believes her, because she doesn't believe herself now.Chunqiu Dao made her subvert all logic and concepts.

Chunqiu Dao made a copper box out of the mountain copper that he obtained so hard, and Baili Kuanren could ignore his grandfather's death... If he went back and asked Baili Kuanren instead of Zhangchun envoy, she would definitely It is believed that Baili Kuanren has nothing to do with Spring and Autumn Taoism.Because Chunqiu Dao assassinated his grandfather.

Seeing her lack of interest, Nong Yue didn't even analyze the little song sung by Xiaoyaozi, and asked with concern: "Princess, where is the nest where you don't talk about Spring and Autumn Dao?"

Jiale: "Didn't Gao Bingzhu come to look for Bailang? There are also Baili Hongyi, and Lian Fang. There are so many capable people, I'm not missing one."

Suddenly he laughed again, "I never thought it meant that. Sigh, the simple question is complicated."

In the northwest of Shendu, there is a place with a big toon tree.This is the meaning of "Those who had big toon in ancient times were born in the northwest".

Jia Le thought of "Eight Pillars Kingdom, Twelve Generals", and was stunned to analyze the behind-the-scenes people for a long time.

Nongyue comforted her and said, "Princess, 'Menji Sichen' is right, they want to overthrow the saint; 'Fire Burns' is also right, they want to use fire and thunder; that is, what is 'Gui Zang Feng', we Don't know yet."

Jia Le said: "Well, I won't guess. This world cannot be changed by my analysis. The lantern ceremony is coming soon, and disasters are coming soon. Tell the whole house to take strict precautions. Stock up on food, vegetables, fruits and clean water for five days. Those who have family members visiting relatives and friends go home and close their accounts."

"We can't control other people. I just want to protect the people I care about. Let Fufeng follow Baili Hongyi, and Taxue follow Dongchuan King. Then the princess's mansion will be locked and closed, so you can't leave the mansion for nothing. "

Nongyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Princess, what should I do if the county horse comes to look for me?"

Jia Le: "It's not like there's no concierge when the house is locked. The county horse and the king of Dongchuan can come in at any time, and the rest will report first."

Bailang didn't enter Lianfang, but entered the princess mansion.The Palace of the Princess has delicious food, good drinks and good accommodation, and Bailang lives very comfortably.The old house is occasionally visited, and it becomes a resting place and contact point.

The ancestor of Bailang was Lianshantang Yushuizhi, so Gao Bingzhu came to him.The two analyzed and discussed Xiaoyaozi's Xiaoquer together, locked on a certain forest in the northwest of Shendu, and Gao Bingzhu set off.

Zhang Chunshi joined Chunqiu Dao that year and made an oath in front of Xiaoyaozi.

"Disciple Baili Kuanren entered the Spring and Autumn Shinto today. Since then, he has no father, no mother, no relatives, no relatives. All the people of the Shinto are my brothers and sisters; the people who are not my Shinto are all weeds."

"The weeds are wild, and the open fire burns them."

what for?Get rid of all unbelievers.This kind of way, of course, will not support the Li family, the Wu family, the pilgrimage saints, or the remnants of the previous dynasty.They want to rule the country by themselves.

With the deepening of the investigation, more and more suspicious points appeared, but Wu Siyue still refused to believe, "I know what you are going to say. But I want to see the evidence. Go, go to his room and have a look."

If it were someone else, he would go to the room to check it out right away, right?

After all, as soon as the room was checked, he became a suspect.Wu Siyue was more cautious and patient when dealing with Li Beiqi.

In her memories of Li Beiqi scene after scene, her subordinates found a small box in the underground compartment, opened the box, and found a small note inside.There were four names on the note: Kang Zhanbi, Kang Jin, Li Ji, and Dai Zhou.

Among them, the first three names were crossed out, leaving only the name "Dai Zhou".

The deaths of Kang Jin and Li Ji are not surprising, but even the death of Kang Zhanbi was caused by Li Beiqi.This shows that Li Beiqi has the venom of the Shachi snake.Then, Li Beiqi, who accompanied Wu Siyue to the wedding banquet in Baili Mansion, is also very likely to be the murderer of Bailiyan.

The men then found a pack of wasp needles.Kang Jin was stabbed by the poisonous needle, and the poison was wasp venom.

The death of Kang Jin made many people lock on Li Beiqi.Jiale, Baili Hongyi, Gao Bingzhu...but Wu Siyue stubbornly refused to believe it.

She wants to see the evidence.Now the evidence was finally before her.

In other words, shouldn't she be strengthening the inspection and defense of the gods now?This makes people look for Li Beiqi and investigate the case, won't it delay the matter?What if I can't find out for a while?Don't care about the lighting ceremony?

A major event is imminent, either let people memorize the inscriptions, or let people help find childhood sweethearts, even if you send people to inspect key places everywhere!If your childhood sweetheart does something bad there, you can just catch it.

Without evidence, Baili Hongyi did not enter the palace.Jiale walked around by himself.

"Oh? Dalang from Baili's family is not dead?"

"Returning to the saint, I'm just guessing, I dare not count. Didn't Erlang be arrested by the Tiandaomen of Yuncui Temple a few days ago? Fortunately, Lord Yuehua and Lord Zhuguang led people to rescue him."

"When he was in custody, Erlang accidentally found some handwriting, which looked familiar. When he thought about it, it was his brother's handwriting. But when his brother passed away, Erlang was still young, and his memory was not clear. But the matter involved Chunqiu said, the granddaughter should come and report to the saint."

"Why didn't he come himself?"

"Isn't there no evidence? He didn't dare to speak falsely in front of the saint."

"Understood. I don't know what your plan is. Don't worry, Baili Erlang is the only son left in Bailiyan, and he is your future county horse. If something happens to his brother, I will not take my anger on him. "

Jia Le happily flattered her and returned home.

Her elder brother, King Dongchuan, was not treated so well.

"Fuhuo Leiting?" Yang Huan said, "Chunqiu Dao developed such a murderous weapon, didn't you Lianfang not realize it before?"

King Dongchuan was speechless.

Yang Huan pressed on step by step, "Does Lianfang know where Chunqiu Dao wants to use this thing?"

The king of Dongchuan kowtowed to the ground, "I know that I have neglected my duties, and I deserve to die for my crimes..."

The saint interrupted him, "There is no need to say too much about self-blame. You come to see me, you have an idea."

King Dongchuan: "Because of the existence of Fuhuo Leiting and the lighting ceremony, the minister is afraid of danger, so I beg to postpone the ceremony."

Yang Huan was startled, "You mean, Chunqiu Dao wants to use this weapon to destroy the Lantern Ceremony, is it to create chaos, or..."

"Assassinate me." The saint said calmly.

Holding a note and a pack of poisonous needles, Wu Siyue wandered around the Neiwei mansion, recalling the past bit by bit.

In the face of Spring and Autumn Dao and Fu Huo Lei Ting, such an important matter as the security of the Lantern Ceremony should be busy in an orderly manner.

But Wu Siyue, who succeeded her elder brother in charge of leadership, has the time and leisure to reminisce about the past here.It's not her fault, it's Li Beiqi's untimely discovery.

The evidence was handed over to Wu Youjue, "What do you think?"

Wu Siyue: "Kang Jin and Li Ji died strangely. Now all the evidence seems to point to Li Beiqi, but I am more worried about Beiqi now. He disappeared suddenly, and these evidences were found in the room. Could it be someone Deliberately framed him. If so, then he should be in a very dangerous situation now."

Just... Sure enough, Li Beiqi was different in Wu Siyue's mind.Until now, she was unwilling to believe that there was something wrong with Li Beiqi.

If there is no evidence, I don't believe it. If the evidence is in front of me, I still don't believe it.Instead, she started worrying about him.

"What about the refugee's inspection and cooperation seal?" Wu Youjue asked, "Ah Yue, investigate Li Beiqi, I want to change someone."

"Brother, are you afraid that I will be emotional and favor Li Beiqi?"

"There is no need to discuss this matter any further. The top priority is to subdue the fire and thunder. I asked Baili Hongyi to help you."

It was Wu Youjue who made it clear, and directly returned to the current top priority.

Just listen to Wu Siyue say: "The Lantern Ceremony is coming soon, the loyalty of the inner guard is very important. Even if it is not for the sake of Bei Qi, I will thoroughly investigate the inner guard."

Yep, here we go again.Is this the time for you to engage in civil turmoil?Not to mention how much time it will take for a thorough investigation, how can you get them to work hard when you are making people panic?Don't check it sooner or later, but if something happened to Li Beiqi, you check it again, and you said it wasn't because of Li Beiqi?

Something happened to Kang Jin, so many people asked you to investigate Li Beiqi, why didn't you investigate?

Whenever there is a major event, first check the interior, this inner guard mansion is unnecessary.

But this time even Wu Youjue agreed.Anyway, if he is really of the Spring and Autumn Dao, it is exactly what he wants if the security can be delayed, and if it can be less manned, it will be less manned.

Lian Fang is sparing no effort to ensure the safety of the Lantern Ceremony, but the inner guard is busy with self-examination.

Even Wu Youjue couldn't find someone to hire.They were all called by Wu Siyue for questioning.

Just speechless.If you suspect that they are going to cause trouble, you can lock them up!Retrial after the Lantern Ceremony.What's going on with each other talking about mental arithmetic now?One of the brothers and sisters is sick, and they don't know whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, and the other can't tell the priority and slow down, so it doesn't matter whether you want your brother and sister to direct the security?

"Through investigation of the internal guards", can you thoroughly investigate the internal guards in a day or two?Is it clear that you can ask questions one by one?What they said is true or false, do you still need to investigate and collect evidence?Is the investigation going to take longer?

The lantern lighting ceremony is only one or two days away, you are all busy with Li Beiqi!

Brother and sister, one is old and cunning, and the other is emotional. How did the saint hand over the inner guard to you?Is it because your surname is Wu?

However, the sage dotes on these two brothers and sisters, and the Dongchuan Wang brothers and sisters are nothing compared to them.As soon as Shendu blamed Lianfang for his ineffectiveness in advance.No one has ever accused the inner guard, the inner guard just caught Dai Zhou, and Wu Youjue stepped on the prince to get the title of Duke of England.

Wu Shenxing is not satisfied with this, but also wants a Minister of the Ministry of War.

Jia Le said: "Wu You has no idea what's going on! An Fang didn't show up, let his sister mess around there, and even asked Baili Hongyi to help. Just let the son Chu pretend to be sick. Save time and effort .”

Baili Hongyi had a straight temper, and when he heard that the inner guards were conducting a thorough investigation, he immediately said, "Your inner guards' mansion is not clean, so I'll go to Dali Temple to find someone."

The inner guard was anxious and angry, "Who said our inner guard mansion is not clean?"

Baili Hongyi: "Clean and investigate thoroughly?"

Wu Youjue: "I will try my best to arrange some reliable people for you."

No, you are still busy with self-examination.Simply ask someone to go to another place for secondment.Wu Youjue probably felt that his family's ugliness should not be publicized, so he didn't agree.

In this self-examination, the inner guard has seen Wu Siyue flaunting his might all day long.What kind of lighting ceremony, what security, long forgotten.

If Jiale hadn't known about this woman's demeanor, he might have secretly labeled her as a party member of the Spring and Autumn Period.
