Chapter 43: Extinguishing the Mouth
Judging from Qi Xuansu's experience in dealing with Qi Niang, Qi Niang's words must not be believed, and they cannot be fully believed, what is true and what is false, it is difficult to distinguish clearly.
So Qi Xuansu was skeptical.
Qi Niang put on the veil of the new era again-large sunglasses, and said: "You just treat me as empathy, man, husband, you should take the world as your own responsibility, lift the three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, don't be hypocritical all day long, what should you do." ”
A lot of words, I haven't said them, I hold them in my heart, as if the water level is rising, and over time, the whole person's mentality will inevitably be affected, but once I say it, it is like opening the floodgates, but I am relieved a lot.
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "I'm going to make a contribution." ”
Qi Niang turned around and entered a portal.
Qi Xuansu left the "Dream Meeting".
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu still came to the signing room as usual, and it didn't take long for Ke Qingqing to come in in a panic: "Chief, something happened." ”
"What's the matter?" In front of Ke Qingqing, Qi Xuansu put away all his fragility, and was no longer the child in front of Qi Niang, but the decisive and thoughtful Qi in charge.
Ke Qingqing took a breath: "Gao Mingyin, dead." ”
Qi Xuansu, who was sitting behind the bookcase, stood up abruptly and walked straight towards the outside of the signing room.
Ke Qingqing hurriedly followed.
When Qi Xuansu came to the Hidden Prison, he was confronted by several spirit officials who were at a loss.
Qi Xuansu did not rush to accountability, but asked, "What about people?" ”
A spirit officer hurriedly led the way in front, came to the secret room where Gao Mingyin was, opened the doors, and saw Gao Mingyin lying on his back on the stone bed, his eyes wide open, but his eyes had become gray.
The spiritual officer who led the way said: "When I first noticed that something was wrong with him, he was lying on his side on the bed, facing the wall, and we came in to check on the situation, and when we patted him, he became like this, and he was out of breath. ”
Qi Xuansu stared at Gao Mingyin's face, was silent for a moment, and ordered: "Go to the Arrest Division and ask an old man to do it." ”
Ke Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "We have a special autopsy in our dark prison. ”
"I can't trust them. Gao Ming died in a heavily guarded prison, with no external injuries or traces of outsiders' intrusion, can I still trust them? Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice, "Go to the Arrest Division, they were willing to help us last time, it can be seen that they and the people behind Gao Mingyin are not all the way, no matter how powerful the King of Liao is, it is impossible to cover the sky in the imperial capital, and the court has never been monolithic." ”
"Whoa." Ke Qingqing answered, turned around and left quickly.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Who has Gao Mingyin seen recently?" ”
Several spirit officers looked at each other, hesitating and speechless.
Qi Xuansu accentuated his tone: "Say." ”
"Yes...... It's the deputy lord of Qian. One of the spirit officers whispered.
Qi Xuansu forcibly suppressed his anger: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to see Gao Mingyin?" ”
Several spirit officials lowered their heads: "Deputy Mansion Master Qian is in charge of the dark prison, she wants to interrogate Gao Mingyin, and we can't stop it." ”
Qi Xuansu knew that he couldn't blame these spirit officials for this, so he softened his tone: "I know, I will tell Deputy Mansion Master Shi, in the past few days, you don't want to go anywhere, just stay in the Jade Emperor Palace." ”
"Yes." Several spiritual officers answered.
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "It's none of your business here for the time being, go ahead." ”
Several spirit officers breathed a sigh of relief and walked away quickly.
Qi Xuansu stood alone in the secluded room, recalling the last time he and Qian Xiangyun met, and recruited a Taoist priest who accompanied him.
This is a seven-rank Taoist priest, who stepped forward and said softly, "Chief." ”
Qi Xuansu looked at Gao Mingyin's corpse and ordered, "Report what happened here to Deputy Mansion Master Shi." ”
"Whoa." The Taoist priest walked away quickly.
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that Qian Xiangyun is the most suspicious, but it cannot be so simple to conclude that Qian Xiangyun killed Gao Mingyin. Even if it was really Qian Xiangyun who did it, as Qi Xuansu's principal, there was no way to do anything to her, the key was for Shi Bingyun to come forward.
It didn't take long for Shi Bingyun to arrive one step ahead of him.
Since Qi Xuansu handled this case, Shi Bingyun has given support and inquired about the progress of the case, but he has never directly intervened, and this is the first time Shi Bingyun has directly participated in this case.
Shi Bingyun walked all the way, whether it was a spiritual official or a Taoist priest, they all saluted, but Shi Bingyun didn't look at it, and came to the secluded room as if no one was around, looking at Gao Mingyin on the stone bed.
She can roughly judge how Gao Mingyin died, but the specific details still need professionals.
"Qian Xiangyun did it?" Shi Bingyun asked.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "There is no direct evidence yet. ”
Shi Bingyun sneered: "It's really all over the sky, and the hands are stretched out to the Dijing Dao Mansion, this matter can't be passed." ”
Qi Xuansu retreated from the others and said softly: "I heard that the Shenshu Forbidden Army, Qingluanwei, and Xuanhui Yuan have been moving frequently recently. ”
Shi Bingyun didn't ask Qi Xuansu where he heard about it, but said: "The Beijing camp is divided into two, the Shenji Battalion is no longer responsible for the defense of the imperial capital, only the Shenshu Battalion is left alone, according to the convention, a noble or clan will serve as the chief military officer of the Beijing Battalion, and a Wenchen will be the assistant commander of the Beijing Battalion Rongzheng, and now the one who is the chief military officer of the Commander of the Beijing Camp is the King of Liao." ”
Qi Xuansu was speechless: "His Majesty the Emperor trusts this fellow brother so much? ”
"The two are a lot of years apart, they are brothers, but they are like half a father and son, and the King of Liao was brought up by His Majesty the Emperor, and the relationship is naturally different from that of ordinary brothers." Shi Bingyun had an affair with a prince, and naturally treasured these royal secrets.
Qi Xuansu asked more: "Then the queen mother is ...... old man"
Shi Bingyun naturally knew what Qi Xuansu was wondering about, and said lightly: "It is said that when the Queen Mother was born to His Majesty, she was only eighteen years old, and when she gave birth to King Liao, she was thirty-seven years old, and there was a gap of nearly twenty years in between, which is not the age of father and son. ”
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that His Majesty the current emperor ascended the throne in the year of the crown, that is to say, not long after the King of Liao was born, he was still in infancy, and the first emperor died, and the two brothers naturally did not have any problem competing for the throne.
What else could Qi Xuansu say, he could only sigh with emotion: "The first emperor was also very human. ”
He couldn't help but think, low morality also has the benefits of low morality, the moral standard of the Daomen is high enough, he and Zhang Yuelu are still in the inspection stage of many elders, at most they are not opposed, and they can't talk about how much they agree, so after a few years, it seems that they are about to go to the age of thirty, and it is not easy to become a Taoist couple at the age of establishment. Look at this side again, because life is rare for seventy years, so the age of a half-grown child can get married, and at the age of him and Zhang Yuelu, many children have been born, and they can almost be grandparents in their thirties.
This is also a helpless thing, ordinary people, can live to 60 years old is a long life, 20 years old has gone through a third of life, and it will take more than ten years to raise the child to adulthood, plus the child death rate is extremely high, so it is necessary to get married early, regardless of men and women, less than 20 years old to get married, if you have not married at the age of 20, you must be punished, and forcibly matched.
On the Daomen side, for many people, as long as there are no accidents, it is not difficult to be 100 years old, and the twenty-year-old has just completed one-fifth, which is just the beginning, and the time in the future is still long, so there is no need to rush to decide the lifelong events in the next few decades. If anyone marries a teenage girl, he will be punished.
The difference is evident in various aspects. Ordinary people, many women often say that a sentence is "helpless", this is not deliberately miserable, but the truth, men are the pillars and is by no means a compliment, after the adult man who has no support for the door, kicking the widow's door, eating the house is just idle, abducting women and children is a big industry, widows, if there is no brother or adult son in the family, they will be plotted, often not by the hired prodigal children abducted, or simply kidnapped directly when they go to the street.
But it's different in the Daomen, it all depends on the level of cultivation, strictly speaking, Shi Bingyun and Bai Yingqiong are widows, and no one dares to bully them.
The actual situation of the two is different, and the moral standards are naturally different.
This reminded Qi Xuansu of what he had learned in the Upper Palace, there is no eternal moral standard, and moral standards must constantly change according to the actual situation of the world.
Catch up with the troubled times, most people will not live to be fifty years old, if like Qi Xuansu rushed to the age of thirty to get married, it is not to pass on the ancestry, that is to prepare to cut off children and grandchildren, and it is necessary to marry as soon as possible, at this time, morality must give way to the actual situation and change. Therefore, most of the ancients became their own children when they were teenagers, and later generations criticized the moral concepts and codes of conduct of the ancients with moral standards that adapted to their actual conditions, and thought that their morals were far superior to those of the ancients, which was a kind of ignorance and arrogance.
Qi Xuansu had no intention of judging the behavior of the royal family by the standards of the Daomen, but only sighed slightly, and then pulled back his loose and divergent thoughts, and said: "In this way, even if there is no matter of Gao Mingyin, sooner or later we will face up to this His Royal Highness the King of Liao." ”
Shi Bingyun said: "As far as I know, the relationship between King Liao and Li Tianzhen is good. ”
Qi Xuansu's eyes were deep: "It's Li Tianzhen again, since I entered Tiangang Hall, I've heard of this name, and then I went to Jinling Mansion, and there is also his shadow behind the scenes, and now I have arrived in the imperial capital, or Li Tianzhen, how can this person not go away?" ”
"Wow and crouch, there is no return from all over the world. jumped to death, and finally fell into the Qiankun set. Let's bow to the ladder: Look, that cloud is my God. Shi Bingyun laughed, "It's not that his ghost is not gone, but that the Li family is huge and ubiquitous." ”
Qi Xuansu laughed at himself: "The deputy mansion master thinks I'm a jumping monkey? ”
Shi Bingyun said: "You can also let Li Tianzhen fall into the Qiankun trap, it all depends on your means." ”
About half an hour later, the work of the Inspector finally arrived.
Shi Bingyun took one last look at the corpse: "After the autopsy, arrange for Fang Shi to go back to the ground, sort out the final results into words, and send a copy to my desk." ”
With that, she turned around and walked out, and without looking back, she instructed the Taoist priest who was in charge of the dark prison who sent her off: "After you see Deputy Mansion Master Qian, let her go to see me." ”
