"Judging crucian carp, Haihua, you are the presiding judge, and we will observe." Jiang Qingchen said.

Ye Haihua sat on the top of the court, and several people sat on one side.

Ye Haihua asked the forbidden army to bring the crucian carp to the hall.

Soon two officials pressed one, and a weak scholar in his early twenties entered the court.

When Jiang Qingchen saw him, he was very angry, because the eight generations of the ancestors of the crucian carp were all natives of Xiliang Beijing, and they were still from a good background, but how did you become a spy of Zhu Ziguo's code name? I don't ask you to be more patriotic, but you still have to have a basic concept of right and wrong, right?

To say that there are people in Zhu Ziguo's spies who will be disguised, this is something that has been known for a long time. It was only recently that it was confirmed who this person was.

Geography and people are divided by geography and nationality, but technology is not.

There are three well-known Yixiang sects in the rivers and lakes, from three different countries, the Thousand Faces Gate of Xiliang Kingdom, the Cheek Sect of Zhu Ziguo, and the Yan Society of Nancy Kingdom.

For the purpose of technical exchange, the three schools will hold a meeting every two years, which will be held by the three schools in turn.

A few years ago, Yu Heng went back to the Thousand Faces Gate to see Master, and he heard Master say that at the gathering of Zhu Ziguo's Cheek Sect this year, the Great Elder of the Cheek Sect inadvertently mentioned that his nephew was in the capital of Xiliang and had not seen him in the previous year, so he thought about it.

Yuheng's master Cui Lanying said that his apprentice Yuheng was working in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, and nothing else was possible, but it was still possible to find someone, and he could ask the apprentice to help bring a word, and said that the Great Elder missed him, and asked him to go back to the Cheek Gate to have a look.

The Great Elder of the Cheek Gate was very flustered after hearing this, and hurriedly said that he had said something wrong, it was in the capital of Nancy Country, Cui Lanying felt very strange, the Great Elder has always been known for his shrewdness, how could he make such a low-level mistake, but people denied it, and it was not easy to ask too much, but when he saw Yu Heng, he remembered this matter.

The so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Yu Heng knows the nephew of the Great Elder, both of them participated in the Three Kingdoms gang gathering when they were children, and they had a good time, although they have not been in contact since then, but they have a good memory in each other's hearts.

Yuheng, a person who accompanies Jiang Qingchen every day to catch Zhu Ziguo's spies, heard that the person who will change his appearance from Zhu Ziguo's cheek faction may be in Xiliang Capital, how can he not be suspicious? When I go back, I will report to Jiang Qingchen and investigate carefully.

But the two haven't seen each other for many years, and they don't know what they look like, so it's too difficult to check. The matter has been put on hold, and later in the repeated Zhu Ziguo spy actions, everyone can detect that the other party is a person who can change his face.

Later, by catching the spy and interrogating, this was also confirmed, saying that it was called crucian carp, and he was very cautious in doing things, and he was notified of the place of disguise on the same day, and the makeup of the crucian carp was different every time he saw it, and it was obviously easy to be disfigured.

Jiang Qingchen has never found conclusive evidence, that is, he feels that every time the place of disappearance is near the place where the crucian carp lives, in the past two years, the crucian carp seems to have changed its place of residence, and the place of disappearance has completely changed.

On the night of August 29, when Jiang Qingchen was destroying a joint point of Zhu Ziguo's spies, he was caught alive and interrogated. I got reliable news that there was an action the next day, and it was actually a series of plans with the burning of Duting Xiyi.

The plan is to find someone to disguise himself as Wen Junyu, the prince of Nancy, and flirt with women from good families on the street at the entrance of the vegetable market, arousing public anger.

This plan is a bit clever, the day before the people of Xiliang were still very sympathetic, the princess of Nancy died unexpectedly, and the next day, he told the prince of Nancy that he was not a good person, so that the saint was in a dilemma when dealing with the relationship with Nancy.

Princess Zhu Ziguo died in a fire, and Xiliangguo must give an explanation, but shouldn't the prince of Nancy give an explanation if he molested a woman from a good family? But Wen Junyu has never done this, and it is difficult to explain it clearly, and he is bound to have a grudge against the monarch of Xiliang, and there will be bitterness between the two countries.

The plan definitely didn't work out in the end, but Jiang Qingchen took advantage of this incident to track down the crucian carp.

Crucian carp was born in the capital, there is no father on the household registration file, it is said to be an illegitimate child, and then there is a record of studying in the Beijing Academy, a few years ago he was admitted to the people, after being introduced by his classmates, first he was a staff member in the Zhongshu Lingfu, and last year the three princes became married, and he was recommended to the three princes by Lord Shi.

He is currently a staff member in the Three Princes' Mansion.

After being promoted, not being an official, being a staff member without rank, is also the choice of many people with connections in Beijing, after all, everyone wants to be a Beijing official. If you raise people and are not jinshi, you will be given a very low rank, and if you are a local magistrate for a lifetime, you may not have a bright future.

Being a staff member of the mansion of a court official is different, this is an opportunity to make your way up, it can allow you to enter the core political circle of the imperial court, you do a good job, and you are a person, and someone will naturally promote you.

Crucian carp has no immediate family in the capital, his grandparents have died a long time ago, his mother also died a few years ago, and those distant relatives in the family have little contact. The only person in the world who misses him may be the Great Elder of the Cheek Gate, the cousin of the crucian carp.

Until this moment, Jiang Qingchen didn't understand that a person from the capital who was born in the capital, and worked as a staff member in the palace of the third prince, obviously has a great future, don't do this, do you have to be a spy What is this purpose?

The crucian carp saluted everyone in the court.

"Yuan Zhengbin, you are a dignified citizen of Xiliang Country, you don't contribute to the country, you actually make Zhu Ziguo's spy crucian carp for money, are you guilty?" Ye Haihua knocked on the startled wood and said sharply, with a lot of momentum.

"Lord Ye, I am the young master of the pigeon gate, I have already sent a signal to my father, I think my father will enter the capital in a month at most, and then you will interrogate me again, I will not do anything to hide." Crucian carp said.

Everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect the crucian carp to have such a big background,

Pigeon Gate is a sect that sells carrier pigeons for a living, and its gathering place is on a small island, and it is not affiliated with any country. Maybe ordinary people don't care much about them, because the carrier pigeons sold at the pigeon gate are very expensive, and ordinary people can't use them.

However, carrier pigeons are very useful in the military, and the fate of the country will be different if the news arrives one day earlier, so the imperial court attaches great importance to the pigeon gate. Xiliang, Zhu Zi, Nancy Imperial Court will go to the pigeon gate every year to buy high-quality carrier pigeons.

If the crucian carp hadn't lied, he was really the young master of the pigeon gate, then as soon as his father arrived, his life would have been saved.

Jiang Qingchen understands that it is nothing more than another game, if you want to save your son's life, then exchange what you can do, such as helping to train the pigeon trainers of Xiliang Kingdom.

But these things have nothing to do with Jiang Qingchen, if the crucian carp doesn't make it clear, it will be difficult to close the case here. As for your father to negotiate, that's not his job either.

However, if the crucian carp is really the young helper of the pigeon gate, then he still knows some things.

A few months ago, Shangguan Song and Jiang Qingchen said that their friend Yi Xing, the owner of the pigeon gate, was looking for his son Yi Aaron, and he couldn't find it for several years.

Shangguan Song just knew that Yi Aaron was born to Yi Xing and a Xiliang woman, because the pigeon gate has rules that only intermarriage can be made within the sect, so even if Yi Aaron was born, this marriage was not approved by the old master.

Yi Xing was afraid that someone would harm his son, so he never took back the sect, and the father and son did not contact him for many years, until the old master died, Yi Xing dared to openly look for his son, and he had seen it a few times, but his son did not want to go back to the pigeon gate.

Yi Xing has been in poor health for a few years, and he knows that the matter of the successor must be decided earlier, so he wants to have a good talk with his son, if he is not willing to be the owner of the pigeon gate, forget it, after all, he still has a few capable apprentices.

Jiang Qingchen promised Shangguan Song to help him find someone, as long as there is a portrait of Yi Aaron and the person is in the capital, he will definitely be able to find it. In fact, Shangguan Song has never seen Yi Aaron, and he also needs to take care of Yi Xing, so so far Jiang Qingchen doesn't know what Yi Aaron looks like.

"Yi Aaron, you think highly of your own identity, even if the Yi Sect Master receives your distress letter, he may not be able to save you, as far as I know, several of his apprentices are also very covetous of the position of the Young Sect Master." Jiang Qingchen said.

The crucian carp was stunned, few people knew about his name Yi Aaron, including his closest aunt, how did Jiang Qingchen know?

"As far as I know, you don't have any lives on your hands, and if you give a good account, it is much more reliable to get leniency than to wait for your father to appear." Ye Haihua said.

"Zhengbin, if you don't explain honestly and delay time here, this is a crime that will be added to the crime, and you will be the one who suffers." The third prince said.

The crucian carp stopped talking, just knelt there with its head bowed.

Of course, Jiang Qingchen understood what he thought, he was afraid that if he confessed, he would be convicted directly, and when his father came, it would be too late. The sins are all condemned, and it is useless to say anything more. There is no precedent for Xiliang to change the charges.

"Yuheng, haven't you always wanted to see him? Give you a chance to meet your old friends. Jiang Qingchen said suddenly.

Yu Heng entered the public court, first saluted the adults, and then said, "Admiral Night, can I talk to him alone?" ”

Ye Haihua nodded in agreement, and then Yuheng pulled the crucian carp up and walked to a corner of the court, the two of them bowed their heads and spoke, their voices were very small, but with Jiang Qingchen and Li Yanfei's ears, they were not affected at all.

"You are?" The crucian carp asked suspiciously.

"Dabin, don't you remember me? I'm Xiao Dai, when you were a child, you came to our Thousand Faces Gate to attend a party, the two of us went up the tree to steal honey, and were stung by bees, and the swelling did not go down for half a month after rubbing the medicine, and my master called us two big head No. 1 and big head No. 2. Yuheng said.

"Are you really Xiao Dai? Why are you here, are you an official? Crucian asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, just eat with a mouthful. The last time my master saw your aunt, the Great Elder said that he missed you very much. It's been a long time since you've been back to see her old man. Yuheng said.

"I originally planned to go back to the cheek door to see her next month, hey, I can't go back this time." Crucian carp said.

"Don't think so, you have explained the matter, as long as there is no death, it is easy to discuss, and besides, won't your father also go back to Beijing to save you immediately?" Yuheng said.

"Xiao Dai, I don't lie to you, I don't have any lives on my hands, I'm just a disguiser, but if I confess immediately, my life may not be guaranteed, how can I say that I am also a spy of Zhu Ziguo, even if my father can come, it is estimated that it will be useless." Crucian carp said.
