Chapter 57: Treacherous Waves (7)

In addition to cultivation or cultivation in the past two days, Shen Ning basically hasn't participated in any entertainment activities, if he accompanied Ying Xianhui to visit Clothes Street two days ago, it doesn't count.

The economy of the Great Jin Dynasty is developed, in fact, there are many activities that the people use for entertainment, such as the opera garden, the flower street hook, and the cockfight...... And so on and so forth.

Among them, of course, the most interesting is to listen to music and arrange flowers and jade.

In the past, Shen Ning was still young and devoted to cultivation, so he didn't have the time or the heart to go to such a place, but now he has a mind, but as a quasi-concubine, he still has to care about his reputation, so he can only regret that his life is not perfect.

So when Gu Yanwu and Zi Fu Lingyue asked him what he had done in the past few days, Shen Ning said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner that he was thinking about loopholes for their plans.

"Really?" In Gu Yanwu's courtyard, he looked at Shen Ning with suspicion.

"Naturally." Shen Ning's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Have you made any progress in the past few days?" ”

The best way to divert an embarrassing topic is to bring up something else that you care about.

Zi Fu Lingyue didn't think about it so much, and summarized the clues summarized in the past few days into one sentence, "Their style of acting over the years has been very cautious, and they have all covered up their murder methods for the sake of demons, and they can't see that the person who shot is from the hundred families of Xianmen, and there has been no assassination recently." ”

Shen Ning had already expected this, they had already put things on the table, as long as the other party was not stupid, they would not make any moves in a short period of time, so as not to leave a flaw in the evidence.

"There's no progress on that, but I've got this." As she spoke, Zifu Lingyue took out a black wooden sign from her waist with the word "dark" written on it.

Shen Ning took the token and looked at it, he didn't belong to any of the Mingfang forces in Shenjing City, so he set his eyes on Zifu Lingyue.

"On my way here, I noticed someone following me, so I took him out of the city, and after a fight, I barely kept the token." Zifu Lingyue's tone was very flat, as if it wasn't her who was being followed.

Shen Ning sighed, shook his head and said: "King Qin was not as calm as he imagined, he knew that he wanted to make things bigger, but he didn't dare to assassinate you at such a dangerous juncture, so he had to send someone to keep an eye on you, but he accidentally left this token." ”

"Any other clues?"

"Nope."

Shen Ning put the token away, and then pondered: "You can change the current direction and use the token as a breakthrough to see if you can figure out the origin of this token." ”

"Okay."

I don't know where to start, Zifu Lingyue can be regarded as obedient to Shen Ning.

After the two finished talking, they looked at Gu Yanwu in unison.

"See what I'm doing?" Gu Yanwu crossed Erlang's legs, sat on the chair and swayed, his tone was lazy, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for you saying that King Qin had a problem, judging from his style, I think there would be no such good king in the history books of the Great Jin Dynasty." ”

"Tell me what he's done, then?"

Gu Yanwu took out a small notebook from his arms, which recorded the whereabouts of King Qin that he had observed in the past few days, and read aloud: "On August 12, King Qin left the palace and came to the Sansi Yamen (the department responsible for fire prevention and anti-theft patrol in Dajin) to deal with the dispute caused by a fire a few days ago. ”

"On August 13, King Qin worked in the Yamen of the Third Division for a whole day, did not go out, and when he passed by a restaurant, he ordered a plate of fennel beans and soju, and returned to the palace after eating."

"August 14th, today's King Qin is lazy, with a servant raised in the house to visit Peach Mountain, happy to think of Shu, on the way also composed a few poems, among which the better name is "Peach Blossom Nunnery Meets Immortals" At that time, the peach blossom tree met for the first time...... When spring comes in March, the incense is sent, and the flower slave asks Jun'an. The poem is very well done, but the servant does not show a smile. ”

"August 15, the King of Qin invited an old Taoist priest who practiced divine sense, let him use the magic in the door in the Jokhang Temple to restore the specific experience of the night when the evil demon escaped from the road, the old Taoist priest was willing to spend 30 years for the righteousness of the world to use magic to snoop, after whispering with the King of Qin, and then spit blood, unconscious, is currently guarded in an inn, after settling the Taoist, the King of Qin immediately entered the palace to meet His Majesty."

"On August 16, King Qin left the palace at the same time, and everything was as usual."

After Gu Yanwu finished reading, he spread his hands and said: "It's just some scattered daily life, I don't know what you want me to spy on him, do you want to tell others that King Qin is keeping a servant in captivity?" ”

The Great Jin attaches great importance to etiquette, but it is extremely tolerant in this regard, which is not a big deal.

After listening to Gu Yanwu's detailed report, Shen Ning glanced at him with disdain before explaining: "If you want to defeat a person, the best way is to find a breakthrough in his daily life, and in those daily lives you just said, at least three useful clues have been provided for us." ”

"The first point is that the servant, from the King of Qin wrote poems for him, it is not difficult to see that he is very favored by the King of Qin, maybe he will know some secrets: the second point, is the old Taoist, according to my guess, this Taoist priest should be quite famous in the Xianmen Hundred Schools, and the means of going back to the tide of time to watch the world are probably no one can control it, for the righteousness of the world should only be said on the surface, in fact, it is very likely to be threatened or favored by the King of Qin, there is no doubt that he will definitely pull the clues to the Tsing Yi Division, if nothing else, In the past few days, King Qin will definitely make a move to Tsing Yi Division! The third point is Your Majesty, according to the information summarized earlier, King Qin has already told His Majesty about the matter, but he has not done it until now, it may be that the evidence is not sufficient, or it may be due to other reasons. ”

After Zifu Lingyue listened, her brows tightened.

Gu Yanwu looked confused, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "So what should we do?" ”

The corners of Shen Ning's mouth twitched, these two people really don't know anything about intrigue!

"It's very simple, we have three clues corresponding to three directions to explore, the first is to kidnap the servant to see if he can ask for useful information, the second is to start from the inn where the old Taoist priest lives, and the third is to start with His Majesty to see if he can find out a little bit of style. The third option is too risky, and I recommend abandoning it outright. No matter which one the remaining two choose, there is a risk of being caught by surprise, so the best case scenario is to be able to defeat the enemy with one blow and grasp the evidence of the weight, otherwise what awaits us will be the backlash of King Qin. ”

"Can't you wait any longer?" Zifu Lingyue asked, "Let's see if we can find any other clues." ”

Shen Ning immediately denied: "I can't wait any longer, the escape of the evil demon is an immeasurable loss to the Shenjing City, and the fact that something like this happened in the imperial city is also a thorn in His Majesty's heart, and it will no longer stimulate him with the goal of Ming Jun all the time, I suspect that King Qin is very likely to have received His Majesty's acquiescence, and is just preparing to act, after all, Tsing Yi Si is a cultivator organization of the Great Jin, and the responsibility on his shoulders is not small, and he acts rashly, and the consequences are not bearable, if he really waits for King Qin to do it." It may be too late by then. ”

"There are not a few cultivators who follow the prince in Tsing Yi, it is impossible for King Qin to kill them all, right?" Gu Yanwu raised a question at this time that made both of them look disdainful.

Shen Ning rubbed his forehead and sighed: "It is impossible to kill, Your Majesty will definitely not allow someone to massacre Tsing Yi Si on a large scale, what King Qin wants to do is to get rid of a few core people, even if he can't, it is excellent to be imprisoned, as for the rest of the people, either win over or assassinate, he alone has the final say." ”

Just when Shen Ning and the three of them were discussing, a crow suddenly flew from outside, stopped on the windowsill, and shouted in his mouth, "Your Majesty has an order, all the personnel of the Tsing Yi Division in Shenjing City should return to the Tsing Yi Division as soon as possible, and return to the Tsing Yi Division as soon as possible." ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

"King Qin has done it."
