Lin Youxie has a special identity.

She is the only remaining descendant of the four major Qingpai families.

The four famous Qingpai families were once the earliest core of the Qingpai system. They flew across the Eastern Region with Qingpai, hunting down lawbreakers, and capturing all thieves, and their fame spread far and wide!

Today, the Inspection Office of the Capital City is the absolute core of the Qingpai system. The captain of Beiya was personally ordered by the emperor to take charge of the counties to catch the heads. Every word and deed truly represents the will of the entire Qingpai system. It is not high.

His official rank became the core of power in Linzi City.

Lin, Li, Wu and Cheng, these four glorious surnames have been eclipsed in the torrent of history.

The only remaining strong men in the divine realm, Uriel and Li Yougui, died one after another.

If the former dies, he will still have honor to make up for it; if the latter dies, he will be punished and beheaded.

The last afterglow of the Qingpai family disappeared with it.

As the orphan of the famous arrester Lin Kuang, Lin Youxie also chose to leave Qi after Feng Gu's case and went to the Sanxing Palace for further study.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but think too much about her loss of contact.

So why did he come to Beiya in person, and why did he look into Zheng Shangming's eyes.

Of course he understood that with the current situation of Emperor Qi, he could completely tolerate Lin Youxie who abandoned the country. Even if the descendant of the Qingpai family was guilty, he already deeply hated Qi Ting and believed that the Jiang Dynasty had betrayed Qing.

Even Lin Youxie, the only remaining descendant of the Qingpai family, has a high chance of becoming a weapon of public opinion in other countries.

Since Emperor Qi has given Lin Kuang and Wu Lie honorable names, he will not do anything to Lin Youxie anymore. He is the son of Qingshan, and he will not be entangled in the ruthlessness of these corners.

But Jiang Wang had no confidence in the Queen of Daqi.

After all, he was a big shot who dared to commit murder under the eyes of the emperor and wipe out all clues about the past. After all, she could do it and throw the body of a father in front of his young daughter.

Whether it is decisive or ruthless, what Jiang Wang thinks in his heart is that he is not like the mother of the country.

Of course, it is unusual for the current empress to be able to secure her position as the head of the harem in the Da Qi court. She has stood firm for many years, gained the respect of the emperor, and is highly respected by both the government and the public.

What Jiang Wang saw and observed was just the tip of the iceberg.

It was just this corner that made him feel cold...

Zheng Shangming quickly made tracing Lin Youxie's whereabouts a top priority for the inspection office. Among the many disappearance cases, it was given the highest priority.

Then he said to Jiang Wang: "Go sit in my room and talk about this matter in detail."

Judging from Zheng Shangming's performance, he should be unaware of Lin Youxie's disappearance, and he even had some uneasy speculations.

But the Qingpai police officers are all very observant, and Zheng Shangming is from a family background. Jiang Wang is not sure of his judgment.

So he just said calmly: "Okay."

The two quickly left the Beiya Hall and came to Zheng Shangming's independent office room.

The room layout is very simple.

A scroll of portraits of the magical beast Haechi is hung on the front wall, with vivid brushstrokes and majestic aura.

In front of this huge portrait is a desk filled with files. In the sixteen-foot-square room, there are only two chairs, one in front of the desk and one behind the desk.

The wall on the right side of the desk is completely blank, while the wall on the left is covered with various drawings. Some of them depict people, and some depict crime scenes, all of which are detailed and realistic, as if they were there.

Speaking of painters, there are also biases in the world's prominent schools. For example, painters from the Taoist and Confucian schools mostly focus on freehand brushwork. The painters of the Art of War and Mo style pay more attention to realism. The Buddhist painters do not have a fixed impression, and they paint all kinds of things.

There are all.

Of course, this is not absolute, but the mainstream style is roughly the same.

Bai Gexiao, the dean of Qingya Academy, painted a long scroll called "A River Comes into the Brightness of Thousand Flowers for the First Time". Thousands of flowers are different and each shows their beauty. It is still regarded as the pinnacle work of realistic style.

But the painters of Qingya Academy have always been able to express their feelings to everyone.

Let’s talk back to Zheng Shangming.

His painting skills are quite average, not good or bad. At least Mr. Jiang can't appreciate the reason. He can only see the care in each stroke, and there are also pieces of paper stuck to the corners of the painting, which are full of words.

Comment.

The effort he put into handling the case is very clearly reflected in these tangible details.

Zheng Shangming closed the doors and windows, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."

He strode to the desk and packed up the files quickly. He divided them into categories and organized them carefully.

It's hard to imagine that he once hated Qingpai's job so much.

Now he sat down in front of the long desk. After gathering all the files, there was an undisguised heaviness in his eyebrows. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Brother Jiang, when was the last time you saw Lin Youxie?"

when?"

"At the beginning of May, in Lushuang County." Jiang Wang said clearly: "At that time, she said that she was going to Sanxing Palace for further study. After that, she never contacted her again. Until a while ago, when I came back from my mission to the grassland, I wrote to

I went to Sanxing Palace and asked her some questions. As a result, the letter was returned intact, saying that this person was not found."

"Is there any misunderstanding at Sanxing Palace? I mean, is it possible that she is studying in some important place, or that ordinary Sanxing Palace disciples don't know that she went to Sanxing Palace?" Zheng Shangming continued to ask.

road.

"Probably not. But I have asked someone to confirm it again," Jiang Wang said.

Zheng Shangming said: "Okay. I will mobilize the best Qingpai to trace the whereabouts, and I will also focus on searching from Lushuang County. The intelligence network of the Qingpai system will not be retained. But you still need to be mentally prepared. Time has passed so much.

For a long time, it is difficult to trace the traces in Lushuang County. This is probably a long-term process..."

Jiang Wang just said: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Zheng Shangming waved his hand and stopped talking.

Jiang Wangdao: "Brother Shang Ming, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment, and then said: "If..."

After hesitating for a while, he continued: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

He didn't say "what if", but both parties understood.

After all, the death case of the chief eunuch Feng Gu Shen that was launched in Changsheng Palace was an investigation started by the two of them and Lin Youxie.

They were all well aware of all the changes that had occurred during this period. They were sure of the important clues in the case. It was also in this case that they confirmed that they were different and could not become close friends.

That huge shadow never shrouded only Lin Youxie.

It's just that some people die, some stay silent, and some do what they can.

'If Lin Youxie is really killed by the current queen, just like her dead father and dead grandfather Ulie, have you ever thought about what you would do?'

This is the question that Zheng Shangming failed to really ask.

This issue is too serious and too serious.

So Jiang Wang thought seriously for a moment and then said slowly: "Before the result is confirmed, I don't know what I will do."

He may have another answer in mind, but he doesn't need to tell Zheng Shangming, and he won't tell Zheng Shangming either.

But even this answer still silenced Zheng Shangming.

Faced with such a terrifying and huge shadow, how can your answer be "I don't know"?

I don’t know, which means there is still a huge possibility of impulsiveness.

However, in the face of such an existence, how can you be impulsive? If the emperor is the sky and the sun, then the queen is the moon and the sky, and the rest are just stars, no matter how dazzling they are. You are the youngest military meritorious prince in Qi State, how can you

how?!

But Zheng Shangming also understood.

This is where Jiang Wang differs from him.

So he remained silent.

After a long time, he managed to calm down: "I don't think so. We just can't get in touch now. There are too many possibilities in this matter, and I don't think we will encounter the worst possibility so easily.

"

Jiang Wangdao: "Yes. Maybe she was just tired of Qi State and wanted to alienate me as an old friend, so she wandered around the world in silence. This is not something difficult to understand."

"This is very likely." Zheng Shangming also tried to make his tone more relaxed: "The Lin Captou I know is the kind of person who doesn't show it on the outside, but has great ideas in his heart. Maybe he will travel far away and make a name for himself in the world.

And practice the law.”

People with green cards hanging around their waists are really not suitable for making optimistic guesses, because they often start from the worst-case scenario.

The two of them were silent for a moment.

"Shang Ming." Jiang Wanghu said authentically.

"Say." Zheng Shangming looked at him.

Jiang Wang's voice was extremely serious: "You can have no results, but you can't lie to me."

Zheng Shangming paused and nodded seriously: "I understand."

He knew very well that if he deceived Jiang Wang this time, he would not even be able to be ordinary friends in the future.

So he acted very cautiously.
