Chapter 248: The Ghost in the Imperial City
The crested ibis swayed and emerged from a dry well.
The cunning rabbit has three holes.
This exit was the third one from the previous one to the east, and unlike the dilapidated one, this one was clean and tidy, and it looked like it had an owner.
"Yo, meet again."
As soon as the crested ibis exhaled that breath, he heard a familiar voice, he put his hands on the edge of the well, looked up speechlessly, and saw the two familiar faces of Gu Shiwei and Wei Changming come into view again.
He climbed up angrily and rolled his eyes at the two.
"The two little ancestors don't trust me to follow me? Or do you have a grudge against me and want me to expose my identity and die without a place to bury? ”
Gu Shiwei held the sword in both hands, leaned against the big pillar of the log, and shook his head at the crested ibis, "Don't be angry, an identity like you should be extremely calm after being sworn to the sky by lightning after being sworn by lightning." How panicked is this? ”
"We're not stalking you, you're on earth and we're in heaven, how to stalk? There is no grudge either, this place is still in the gate, how can you expose it? ”
"It's just that I have one thing I want to ask you......"
Gu Shiwei said and stormed towards the crested ibis.
The crested ibis's pupils shrank suddenly, and like that spider, he spewed out silk threads and rolled towards Gu Shiwei's long sword, he had already heard that there was a new official in the Imperial City Division, and he heard that he was famous for his outstanding martial arts, and even Wei Changsheng was not her opponent.
When he saw it today, Gu Shiwei's skills were simply terrifying, and he didn't see her sword drawing clearly at all.
Crested Ibis thought that Gu Shiwei's long sword had reached the tip of his nose, his face was calm but he was already startling, "What is Gu Shi's business going on......
Before he finished his words, Gu Shiwei had already withdrawn his long sword.
"When was the last time you went back to Bianjing?"
Crested Ibis can be an undercover agent in the Northern Dynasty for such a long time, and he is not an ordinary smart person, and he instantly understood what Gu Shiwei thought, he shook his head, "If you suspect that I am a traitor in the Imperial City Division, then I can tell you that I am not." ”
"I haven't been back to Bianjing for five years, and the imperial city envoys have all been replaced, and the imperial court still hasn't recalled me."
"When you go to the royal capital, you will know that everything I said is true."
It is easy to talk to smart people, Gu Shiwei looked at the silk thread in the hand of the crested ibis, which was almost invisible to the naked eye, and said to the crested ibis, "When I was in Bianjing City, I was attacked by the ghosts in the Imperial City Division, although he was a sword-wielding person, but he also used the silk thread to manipulate the puppet to swing the sword array. ”
"So, do you understand?"
Silk thread is a weapon, first of all, the weapon itself is difficult to get, spider silk and the silk thread used for embroidery on weekdays are too soft and easy to break, if it is thick and strong, it becomes a whip and it is too easy to attract attention.
Secondly, soft weapons are really difficult to use, and the people who use this kind of weapons in this martial arts are either some little girls who like to use red and white silk, or some masters don't care what kind of weapons they use, and the internal force alone is one enemy hundred.
This kind of weapon is very niche, and it is too much of a coincidence that two people use it at the same time in the Imperial City Division.
Even if the crested ibis was a fine worker in the Northern Dynasty at that time and had been excluded, the silk thread of the puppet array at the beginning was related to the crested ibis.
The crested ibis's face changed dramatically, as if he had thought of something, and his unremarkable face was as white as a snowman on the side of the road.
"Why didn't Master Gu ask in the first place? Now ......"
Gu Shiwei blinked calmly, "I forgot at first." That's why I came here to block you, after all, the next time we meet, we are strangers to Master Zhu. ”
The crested ibis's face was still not good, he pursed his mouth, and his throat seemed to be stuck with phlegm, and he couldn't speak at all......
Gu Shiwei instantly understood, "You didn't say anything, but you said everything." ”
"The ghost in the Imperial City Division, it's Zhai Di, right?"
"Before leaving Bianjing, I ruled out one by one, there are only three possible ghosts, Zhai Di, Ma Fengchun and Jiang Yi. The latter two are the Imperial City Division that only entered after Zhang Chunting became the Imperial City Envoy, and you have never seen them at all. ”
"Whether they are internal ghosts or not, they will not touch your heart at all. You are so embarrassed because that inner ghost is your good friend Zhai Di. ”
The crested ibis looked at Gu Shiwei, as if he was a ghost.
He raised the silk thread in his hand and said to Gu Shiwei, "So you thought so much because you saw that I was using silk thread...... thought of Zhai Di. ”
"That's it!" Wei Changsheng on the side was even more shocked, "What? Why is Zhai Di an inner ghost? What are you two playing dumb puzzles? I don't know how it is! ”
Gu Shiwei patted Wei Changming's shoulder perfunctorily to show comfort.
"It's not because I see your threads. I guessed before that something happened to Master Zhang. The person who can take over the Imperial City Division cannot be the person he single-handedly, and the questionable Ma Fengchun and Jiang Yidu are too junior to convince the public. ”
"The most suitable candidate is neither a person promoted by Lord Zhang, nor a recruit, nor a personal servant who needs to stay by the official's side. In this way, the person who is now acting for the affairs of the Imperial City Division should be Zhai Di. ”
Others don't know, but she knows it in her heart.
Previously, she asked Wei Changming to write a letter to test it, and sure enough, as soon as the letter was sent, she immediately received an attack from Ma Hongying, what does this mean? It shows that the person in charge of the Imperial City Division is a problematic inner ghost, or that the inner ghost has mastered the internal communication channel of the Imperial City Division.
Three suspects, at that time, she thought that that person was Zhai Di nine times out of ten.
Now seeing the expression of the crested ibis, I am even more certain.
The two of them used to be colleagues, and they should have obtained this silk thread in the same place.
Moreover, the person who came to investigate the matter between Ma Hongying and Wu Jiang was also Zhai Di. Jing Li used to work under Zhai Di and said it to her personally.
However, there is no need to explain these things to the crested ibis in detail.
Hearing this, the crested ibis sighed, and he said with some nostalgia, "In the past, Zhai Di and I often did tasks together. It can be said that it is a very good friend. ”
"Our Zhu family has used this silk thread as a weapon for generations, and there is a secret method of forging in the family that can forge this kind of silk thread. This kind of silk thread can not only kill, but also weave soft armor. Before I accepted a secret mission and left Bianjing, I once gave Zhai Di a piece of soft armor. ”
"Our Zhu family is a small family, and the heirs are not prosperous, and I am the only heir in this generation."
"So Master Gu, when you started talking about soft armor, I immediately thought of Zhai Di...... Ke Zhai Di ...... Zhai Di, how could he be a traitor? ”
Crested Ibis said with red eyes, and he raised his head sadly to look at Gu Shiwei and Wei Changsheng opposite, wanting to find the answer.
But he met two pairs of four shining eyes at once.
It's like seeing a dog with flesh and bones, and it's almost written on my face that I want soft armor!
The crested ibis's face was dark, and he couldn't cry if he wanted to, such a sloppy Imperial City Division, Zhai Di's betrayal was called escaping from the oil pot in advance, right?
"No, I don't have a surname Zhu, and I don't have any soft armor, it's all nonsense from me. I'm leaving now, don't say you know me in the future! ”
Those two pairs of eyes were unmoved, still looking at him brightly.
There may only be one shift today, so don't wait for the second shift, babies!
