Two more days passed without wind or waves. Green Hui hadn't seen Gongsun Li Zai since that day, and no one else had come to visit her. The days were calm, like the night before a storm.

On this day, it was night, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on the ground, casting the silhouette of branches and vines. The whole world seems to be immersed in a white expanse, as bright as day.

A sturdy figure like a spirit fox jumped from a low window into the study of Gongsun Mansion in the stars and moon, and its eagle-like eyes sparkled like dark gems in the night.

"How's it going?" At this time, Gongsun Li stood with his hands in his hands again, facing Feng Shang who was kneeling on the ground and waiting for his life.

"Hui Gongzi, I have searched almost the entire Guozijian and have not found the booklet that records the merits of various university schools!"

Gongsun Li Zai's face changed, and his expression was slightly solemn.

If it weren't for the fact that Guo Zijian's behavior became more and more excessive, turning a blind eye to their contributions to the Guiyuan faction, and often mentioning them in a few hasty strokes, he would not have thought to check the records to see who handled them and who did it for personal gain. These are kept secret from the outside world, and are only recorded in the record books.

At the previous briefing meeting, Guozijian treated the Guiyuan faction so hastily in front of all the participants that he had worked hard in the past five years, and he wanted to be mad at that time, but at that time, his father was in charge, and his father was a person who didn't like things and could get by, so he had to give up. The embarrassing thing is that he has to experience the feeling of being distorted and suppressed in disguise again at this coronation conference, and because his father is seriously ill this time, he is attending the conference as a quasi-head of the conference, and he shoulders the honor and disgrace of the entire school, how can he stop there.

He also knows that the result is already a boat, but if there is really a shady curtain in it, he must catch this "black hand".

"Are there any other suspicious findings?"

"We overheard that Guozijian seemed to be looking for a person inside them, and we heard that he had defected, and I don't know why. Guozijian's actions this time were completely silent, as if he wanted to keep it secret, which was completely different from the style he used to like to fanfare. I don't know if it has something to do with what we're investigating! ”

Lu Beiqi is a personal guard under the command of Gongsun Li Zai, which was trained by him himself, and is responsible for collecting intelligence and close guards.

In fact, each of the clans had their own independent armed forces in the area under their jurisdiction, and they were like the princes of all sides scattered under the land of the Putian Emperor in ancient times, as long as they united against the regular army of the imperial court, then they would become a one-sided formation.

This is also an important reason why Helian Sik respects the other four schools and does not dare to act arbitrarily. They are like a "cancer" growing in his body, hateful but ineliminable.

"Yes!" After thinking about it, it seemed that there was something missing, Feng Shang continued: "Also, according to our people's report, that person had a secret meeting with Cai Ye before he disappeared!" ”

It's Cai Ye again! Gongsun Li clenched his fists again, in fact, he knew that Cai Ye was playing tricks, he was just collecting evidence and waiting to confirm his guilt.

Cai Ye's power has penetrated deep into the internal organs of the entire Guozijian, and under his leadership, the Guozijian no longer respects the purpose of "treating each school fairly and justly and letting them bloom" when the ancestors founded the Guozijian, and the inside has been ** pus.

It is no longer possible to liquidate his entrenched forces overnight, and what he needs now is a lot of evidence. Only by completely pulling Cai Ye off the horse can they have a fair chance to compete with other factions, even if it is luck in the end.

"I see! Go down and get ready, don't miss every detail! "Gongsun Li Zai is already planning to end this conversation, and let them do their best to find out.

"Yes!" , Feng Shang didn't want to leave at this time, he hesitated, and said: "Childe, we have been monitoring Cai Ye's whereabouts according to your orders, and found that the final black hand may be the emperor!" ”

"Oh?" Now Gongsun Li is really interested.

He had always wondered why the scales were tilted in favor of the quaints every time. Even though the Guya faction has a large mass base and a history of ruling the Chongye Dynasty over the years, what they show to the people at critical moments is no longer really useful to the people, and the win is a bit pale. Take the last famine epidemic as an example, what to say to appease the epidemic people, psychological counseling for the epidemic people is even more important than giving them food, and afterwards to the deceased to go beyond the law, chanting sutras and reciting Buddha is also a great achievement, which really makes them unconvinced.

Even if the emperor did not collude with Cai Ye, he also acquiesced to Cai Ye's "favoritism" towards him.

Sure enough, the emperor is not an outsider.

"Continue to follow your clues and investigate, and report to me if there is substantial evidence!" If it is really the emperor, this problem is even more complicated, because he can cultivate Cai Ye to become his minion, and he can also cultivate others.

But it takes time, so he has to do his best to kill Cai Ye and win time and opportunity for himself.

Suddenly, Gongsun Li thought about the poisoning that day, so he asked, "Did the poisoning at the dinner that day find out the results?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the orange is indeed given by Han Zhang to the cook, Lu Qi should just be a substitute for the dead! But we can't prove that Han Chang poisoned the oranges. We have no record of him purchasing arsenic in the pharmacy at this time. Including Lu Qi, there is none. ”

"If you can't find it, keep investigating, I'm sure there's nothing you can't do!!" Gongsun Li decided to get to the bottom of this matter.

However, after listening to Feng Shang's words, he was also a little confused, thinking that it was just a matter of touching the melon, but he didn't expect the clue to be broken at this juncture.

The remaining orange of the apprentice has been confirmed to have been injected with arsenic, and it stands to reason that the murderer must have a record of buying arsenic. Could it be that the murderer is not Lu Qi or Han Zhang, but someone else? Because arsenic can't be born out of thin air.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Li remembered the conversation between Lu Qi and Zhuang Luhui at the dinner that day, and thought about it carefully. Perhaps, it is not impossible to produce arsenic out of thin air, since Lu Qi knows that eating food together will also produce arsenic, they can completely make some self-made to commit crimes. Extracting poison is just a trivial matter for them.

It seems that he still underestimated Han Zhang.

Gongsun Li told Feng Shang his conjecture again, and asked him to get the evidence of Han Zhang's poisoning no matter what.

As soon as he finished explaining, another figure jumped into the study, but it was Feng Shang's subordinate Jing Yi, "Yu Gongzi, we have discovered the whereabouts of that person, he is actually in our territory in Yuliang, and we have already mastered the specific place!" ”

"The safest place is the safest place! Take me to see it! "Gongsun Li wants to find out the truth of the matter in person.

Suddenly, he remembered that today was the last day for the major factions to stay in Gongsun Mansion, and tomorrow the various factions would go their separate ways and return to their own places, and he would escort the people who had handed over the Green Hui to Cai Ye back to the capital anyway. So he must return to Gongsun Mansion before dawn tomorrow to deal with this "hot potato".

At this time, he actually felt embarrassed, and he would no longer be as sure as he was before to hand over the green club to Cai Ye.

Forget it, let's deal with the matter in front of us first, and wait until I come back tomorrow to make a decision.

Gongsun Li followed Feng Shang and they left Gongsun Mansion in a hurry.

As soon as they stepped out of Gongsun Mansion, a dark shadow that had been hidden in the darkness quietly slipped back to a guest room in the southeast, which was Cai Ye's residence.

"My lord, I saw with my own eyes that Gongsun Li Zai and they have left Gongsun Mansion, they should go to do something!"

"Okay, God help me!" He couldn't hide his excitement, he turned around and said to Cai Tingzhi, who was standing beside him: "Tingzhi, you clean up, we will take that girl back to the capital overnight!" ”

Cai Tingzhi obviously didn't know Cai Ye's decision before, and he asked suspiciously: "Isn't it tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Hmph, I wasn't going to send her on my way tomorrow. This girl really can't stay any longer, not to mention their grievances and grievances with us before the Danqing Palace, this poisoning incident has also ruined our good deeds, if it weren't for the emperor's secret order for me to escort her back to the palace for other purposes, I would have corrected her on the spot now! Cai Ye said angrily, the ruthlessness seemed to rush out.

"I used to think about secretly taking people away in the middle of the night tonight, but now that Gongsun Li is going out again, it's a good time. This kid doesn't know if he intends to protect her, and the so-called 'interrogation' before doesn't know if it's true or not, and recently according to the spies, the two of them don't get along like interrogating a prisoner at all. In order to avoid a lot of entanglement, we took the girl away without his knowledge, and when he came back, it was already empty, and it was too late for him to chase him. ”

"Sure enough, it's still Dad, you think thoughtfully, and the child understands!" Cai Tingzhi said admiringly, his eyes flashing.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pack up and get ready to go!" What Cai Ye wants is a quick solution and do his best to solve this thorn in the flesh.

Cai Tingzhi stopped talking when he heard this, and left the room in a hurry.

This night, the storm suddenly rose.
