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

Wu Siyue's head was hot and confused, which really made the inner guard feel uneasy.

A group of people standing outside, waiting to be taken in one by one for trial, started talking there.

"Li Beiqi is Li Beiqi, and others are others. The one who trusts Li Beiqi the most is clearly Mr. Yuehua himself. Now that he is interrogating others like a prisoner, wouldn't it be chilling for the brothers!"

There is truth in this statement.Li Beiqi is Wu Youjue's confidant, and the person Wu Siyue trusts the most, probably even more than Gao Bingzhu.Who made Li Beiqi fall in love with her!This gave Wu Siyue great confidence in Li Beiqi.

The two leaders of their inner guards are so fond of Li Beiqi, if Li Beiqi asks them to do things, which one of them is not a fart?Can it be their fault?It works!

It is better for the inner guards to check themselves first.

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and everyone could only obediently obey orders.These words can only be whispered in the stomach.

On the day of the lantern-burning ceremony, the sage will drive from the Taichu Palace, go out of the palace for a parade to show his holy grace, and finally return to the Heavenly Hall to light the lanterns to pray for blessings.

Jia Le: "Closing the city is the most simple, direct, fast and effective method, but Wu You absolutely disagrees with it, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"It's just that since saints are going to parade, the purpose of Spring and Autumn Dao must not be as simple as targeting saints. Which is easier to assassinate among the crowd, or to spend all your time doing fire and thunder and waiting for an opportunity to blow up heaven? In my opinion, it is easier to assassinate on the street." easy."

Baili Hongyi: "You mean that the goal of Chunqiu Dao is not to blow up heaven, but to have other conspiracy?"

Jia Le: "Do you remember what he said when you judged Hua Qingzhi? Zhang Chun envoy looked down on Zhang Qiu envoy, thinking that Zhang Qiu envoys were narrow-minded things, and what he did was the big one. .”

"At first I thought he was referring to such things as greed for copper mines, smelting copper coins, forging weapons, and assassinating caravans, but after thinking about it carefully, they both were doing Fuhuo Leiting, but they had different divisions of labor. Beidi Xuanzhu, one is in charge of refining. If Zhang Qiu does not do these things, what refining does Zhang Chun use? What right does he have to criticize her as 'narrow'?"

"That's why the 'narrow' things Zhangqiu envoy Zhang Chun said did not refer to these things. The two of them are consistent in doing the matter of subduing fire and thunder, and they work together with one heart."

Baili Hongyi continued: "The inconsistency is what they do with the Fuhuo Leiting. The envoy Zhang Qiu uses the Fuhuo Leiting to do 'narrow things', and Zhang Chun uses it to do 'big things'."

Carol nodded.

"So on the day of the lantern-burning ceremony, two major events will happen. One is instigated by Zhang Qiu envoy, and the other is instigated by Zhang Chun envoy." Baili Hongyi pondered.

"It's very possible." Jia Le said, "It's easier to succeed if you do two things at the same time. If I were Zhang Chunshi, I would do it like this. While your eyes are on Zhang Qiushi, I will do mine." event."

"One is to sabotage the lantern-burning ceremony, what will the other be?" Baili Hongyi said, "I heard that you asked the people in the mansion to hoard food, why? Do you think they will start with food?"

Jia Le was taken aback, "Isn't it normal to buy more food for a few more days in the face of the chaos, and spend these days behind closed doors, instead of going to the streets to cause trouble?"

"But hearing what you said, it's not normal." Jia Le pondered, "Oh, the sage won't doubt me, will he?"

Baili Hongyi got up and left.

Gao Bingzhu set off to explore alone.With a simple bag on his back, Bailang caught up with him at the city gate.

"Yo, what a coincidence?" Bailang said with a smile.

Gao Bingzhu stopped him, "Don't think I don't know what you are going to do. Go back quickly."

Bailang smiled and said: "Don't worry about you. You said that you are the only seedling in your Gao family. What a pity that you are gone before you leave a queen? I will go with you, in case something happens , so I can come back and let you know."

Wu Siyue: "Three days ago, Dali Temple came to take over the official business, and it was your seal; that night, Shendu entered a group of refugees, but it was Li Beiqi's private seal when it was inspected and closed. What's going on? explain!"

Say, did you steal Li Beiqi's private seal!

Unexpectedly, the answer Wu Siyue got was: "I was on duty for Li Beiqi. However, when Li Beiqi asked me to take his turn, he said that Feng Yulang asked him to go out of the city to handle errands."

Now, let's do a thorough investigation, have you found out about your own family?That is to say, you brothers and sisters should check yourself first.Only after you prove your innocence can you interrogate others.

When Gao Bingzhu and Bailang approached the miasma forest, they encountered a little lady who was being hunted down.The two acted bravely and rescued the man.

The woman said that she went to the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally broke into an academy.Then he was chased all the way out.

Wu Siyue checked with Wu Youjue, "Li Beiqi went out of the city that night according to Yulang's orders. Is what Sui Xin said true?"

What can this ask?Whether it is true or not, it is a no!

Sure enough, Wu You said decisively, "It's not true."

So Wu Siyue began to suspect Li Beiqi, "Li Beiqi went out of the city and let a group of refugees in under the guise of Feng Yulang. Then he found a list in his room, which was the target of Chunqiu Dao. Then all of this Pointing to, Li Beiqi is related to the Spring and Autumn Dao."

No, does this mean that Li Beiqi is a fake?If Li Beiqi is found in this case, you and your brother and sister should avoid suspicion. Now that your brother says "not true", you will convict Li Beiqi?

This is the bad thing about the Neiwei Mansion, the brothers and sisters cover the sky with one hand.

However, with so much evidence in front of her eyes, even her dearest brother had identified Li Beiqi, Wu Siyue still did not give up.

"There is another Dai Zhou here. I'm going to interrogate Dai Zhou! Maybe he can prove that Li Beiqi has nothing to do with this matter!"

Then Wu Youjue said: "I came here to tell you that there is news from the East Palace. Dai Zhou died in the well the day after he was sent back to the East Palace."

This... a person commits a crime. If your inner guard doesn't want it, then you can send it to Dali Temple!What do you mean by sending it back to the East Palace?Should you respond to the prince?Kill him by the hands of the prince?

The crown prince is also stupid, you just accept it when he gives it to you?A person who has already been convicted commits a crime, why do you take it back?Give you a chance to kill a good settler?

If you really dig a hole for you, you will jump, if you are given a trap, you will drill!But you are still a prince, just like a three-year-old young man who goes to the streets with a jade in his arms, who will you cheat if you don't?

Didn’t the sage tell you to think behind closed doors?Just let people in like this, what kind of door did you close?

Look, Wu Shenxing and Wu Youjue colluded with this matter, and the two teamed up to cheat the prince.There has to be a follow-up to this matter.

All clues have been broken, Li Beiqi is missing and cannot be questioned, Wu Siyue has no way to prove Li Beiqi's innocence, tears welled up in her eyes, and she murmured: "Impossible. The Li Beiqi I know is not such a person. "

"Impossible," Wu Siyue said "impossible" several times, flipping through in a panic, "Impossible. I must have missed some clue. Li Beiqi grew up with me, isn't Li Beiqi Such a person." Wu Siyue began to cry while talking, "Is there any other clue that I must have forgotten..."

You see, people like Wu Siyue cannot enter Lianfang.She is going to join Lianfang, fearing that she will mobilize the whole Lianfang to remove suspicion for Li Beiqi.Even if there is a lot of evidence in front of him, as long as there is even a slight possibility to prove Li Beiqi's innocence, Wu Siyue will cling to it.It is completely impossible to look at and solve problems rationally and soberly.

Not to mention that Lian Fang is not humane, he still needs to be clean to become a monk!Lian Fang didn't force anyone in either.It's not like anyone can get in if they want to.

Wu Youjue: "Siyue! Siyue! Don't check anymore!"

Wu Siyue's suppressed emotions finally broke out, "He will not betray us!"

See, here's the crux of the matter.It's not that Li Beiqi is guilty or innocent, it's not that he is suspected of having no age, but that he "won't betray us".

Wu Siyue was too unconfident, how good would it be to just say "he won't betray me"?This is what she has in mind!After all, after following her ass since childhood, how could he stop chasing her suddenly and do so many things without telling her?

This is too unacceptable!I do not accept!I do not believe!

"Even if he betrayed us, I will take him back with my own hands." Wu Siyue said tearfully.Yes, grab it back with your own hands, grab it back and ask clearly.Why did you betray me?You lied to me so much?You are the person I trust the most!

Wu Siyue got up and left.

Wu Youjue coughed continuously, "Wu Siyue! Wu Siyue!"

Wu Siyue hurriedly turned around and came back.Wu You decided to deal with Wu Siyue, the weak body is the best weapon to use.

"Where are you going to find him now? The most important thing now is not Li Beiqi, but the lantern ceremony."

What Wu Youjue said is justified.But he first prevented Wu Siyue from continuing to investigate, and now he prevented her from looking for Li Beiqi. This behavior can also be interpreted as that he was worried that Wu Siyue would hear something that he shouldn't hear from Li Beiqi.

Wu Siyue burst into tears immediately.Betrayed by Li Beiqi, a childhood sweetheart whose eyes are full of her, seems to be more intolerable than Gao Bingzhu's desire to join Lianfang back then.

"Grannary?" Young Master Chu turned around abruptly.

"Grannary, water source, everything is possible."

"What evidence?"

"They have the fire and thunder in their hands, and they can blow up anything. 'The people depend on food', and food and water are the most important. If they blow up the granary and destroy the river, the people of Shendu will have no way to survive The consequences are more serious than bombing heaven. But, there is no evidence." Baili Hongyi said.

"There are so many granaries in Shendu, and there are several rivers. It is possible to blow up any section. How to control it?"

"Guaranteed one river course, at least a few granaries, right?"

"What about the Lantern Ceremony?" Young Master Chu said solemnly, "The Habayashi Army, the Internal Guard, and the Dali Temple combined don't have so many people!"

After a while, Young Master Chu turned to An Baitan, "Quickly inform all ministries to strictly guard them!"

An Baitan: "Lang Jun, where is the evidence?"

Young Master Chu: "The grand ceremony is coming soon, and in an extraordinary period, isn't it their job to take care of the water source of the granary? What proof do you want?"

An Baitan took the order and left.Baili Hongyi let out a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, and the woman promised to take Gao Bingzhu and Bailang into the valley the next day.The two had nowhere to stay, and followed to the woman's home.

The woman took out the cake and shared it with the two.

"You live alone?" Bailang said while biting the cake.

The woman stared over, without saying a word.

Bailang choked in embarrassment: "It's fine to...live alone. I...I live alone too. Hehe."

The cake was too dry, Gao Bingzhu: "Is there any water?"

The woman paused for a while, then got up and scooped up water from the water tank.

Gao Bingzhu started chatting: "How old is this year?"

"eighteen."

"only you?"

"My grandpa went to the mountain to collect herbs, and he will come back in a few days."

"Do you usually sell medicine for a living?"

"There are a lot of herbs in this mountain, so my grandfather and I will take turns to deliver medicines down the mountain. What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

has a problem.That night, Renmeixinshan, the little girl who took the initiative to sleep in the woodshed, came to kill them.
