Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Three Delivering the Knife
Qin Lang said in a daze: "I asked you to check on Miss Hongyu. What a big deal if she is not there?"
Gu Xiefei Zhenzhen said, "Why are you so stupid? Although Miss Hongyu is not here, there is still Mei Mei. Do you know what indirect attacks mean?"
Qin Lang said: "Looking at how you are, you should not only question indirectly, but also interrogate from left to right."
Gu Xiefei said with a shameless face: "Of course! Do you think my silver is white? Miss Hongyu went to Dabaoen Temple to burn incense early this morning. I heard that she would visit Prince Qing's Mansion in the evening, so she probably wouldn't come back."
Qin Lang glared at him: "Tell me earlier!"
Gu Xiefei stretched out his fat hand to him again.
"What's the meaning?"
"Give me some more gold, I promised the Qingmei girl to spend the night in Ruyun Pavilion tonight."
Qin Lang was stunned: "Lao Gu, your mission has been completed." This guy is too deeply involved in the show.
"A gentleman says a word and a quick horse whip. Of course, I promise others that I must do what I promised. And I found that there are too many strange things in this Ruyun Pavilion, so I want to check it in depth and carefully, and maybe there will be greater discoveries."
Qin Lang nodded while touching Gu Xie's gold, so he was not deep enough? Why didn't he find Lao Gu in the past?
Gu Xiefei said: "Don't forget the bad things about me, we are divided into two groups. Ji Congliang did appear in Ruyun Pavilion. Maybe he will come today. I work hard and work harder than you."
Qin Lang attached himself to his ear and whispered: "Young man doesn't know that Yuan Yang is noble, and when he is old, he looks at Ji Kong and cry." This is what Gu Xie didn't advise him in the past, but now he just returns it as it is.
Gu Xiefei sighed and said, "Only all things can be reborn. The running water will not rot and the door hinge will not rot. Brother, your Taoism is still too shallow." He pinched the golden leaves and turned away, his sleeves fluttered, and his back was arrogant.
Qin Lang looked at Gu Xiefei's bloated but much more relaxed back and saw the back of his head with a messy bun.
Where is the face?
It was already Xu time, and Hongyu obviously could not continue to stay in Dabaoen Temple at this time, but why did she go to Dabaoen Temple for? Qin Lang couldn't help but think of Chen Weiyu, who was chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in Dabaoen Temple. Could this be related to her?
Qin Lang thought it was necessary to tell Chen Qiunian about this, and he should be more nervous than himself in this matter.
The renovation of Chen's mansion has been completed, and Chen Qiongnian has moved here. In the past two days, he has become the focus of Yongdu. Not only is his daughter confirmed to be the Empress of Dayong, but he was also appointed as the Minister of Justice and promoted to the second rank. Chen Qiongnian has not left Yongdu for this period of time. Of course, he is aware of the changes in the court. The empress dowager wanted to implement reforms, but was submitted by all officials. Unexpectedly, she started with the establishment of the Ministry of Justice. What Chen Qiongnian did not expect was that she would take the lead in pushing herself to the forefront.
The powers of the Minister of Justice and the Tingwei overlapped. Although the Empress Dowager claimed that the powers of the two remained unchanged, everyone knew that the person in charge of the criminal law of Dayong was Chen Qiunian rather than Xu Daoyi, and the former had already come from behind.
The spring river is warm and the duck prophet, and the officials with keen sense of touch have begun to compete with the upstart of Dayong through various channels. In order to avoid trouble, Chen Qiongnian simply came and stayed in the door in the past two days. He called him sick and no one saw him. He privately asked the Queen Mother to return to Chiyang to deal with the affairs of the Demon-Standing Department, and arranged the Chen family's move to Yongdu. In fact, Chen Qiongnian wanted to avoid the recent troubles. Fortunately, the Queen Mother agreed and approved him for a month. After he returned to Yongdu, he would start to establish the Ministry of Justice.
Qin Langliang released the demon-suppressing order given to him by Chen Qiongnian, and successfully entered the Chen Mansion.
Chen Qiongnian led him to his study. When Qin Lang went in, he saw Chen Qiongnian wiping a knife. The shape was a bit strange. I had never seen it before. It seemed that it could be folded with an elbow.
Qin Lang believed that Lao Chen had a purpose in wiping the knife at this time, and clearly used it to show him. While wiping the knife, he aimed at his vitals with his downward 45 degrees.
Kill the chicken with eyes exposed!
Chen Qiongnian soon realized that his murderous gaze could not shock the boy. Qin Lang was very calm. He was not afraid of himself at all. This guy grabbed his weakness. Chen Qiongnian felt helpless, and he remembered the red bust in his mind. His weakness was on his daughter.
"The knife is good!"
Chen Qiongnian showed a sneer on the corner of his lips, and he didn't say anything to let Qin Lang sit down, and helped popularize the science: "This knife is a gift from Eunuch An."
Qin Lang understood that this was a castration knife. Chen Qiongnian wiped the castration knife in front of him. His intention was self-evident. He told you that I and your daughter were innocent and even threatened to castrate me. Old Chen, Lao Chen, you are too unkind.
Qin Lang praised again: "A good knife, such a good knife must be used in the right place."
Chen Qiongnian said meaningfully: "My sword skills have always been good."
"Mr. Chen, how can you use slaughtering a cattle knife to kill a chicken?" Qin Lang sat down calmly opposite Chen Qiongnian.
Chen Qiongnian almost wanted to laugh when he heard what he said. This kid was really interesting, but his face became more and more gloomy: "This is the killing knife!"
"Mr. Chen has a broad vision and a broad mind. He definitely won't do anything to kill chickens and retrieve eggs."
Chen Qiongnian was actually a little happy: "It depends on my mood." The cold light knife handed forward.
Qin Lang actually plucked up the courage to pinch the blade with his hands: "Sir, I will do this for you even if you have the intention of killing the chicken and retrieving eggs."
Chen Qiongnian let go of the hilt and laughed: "I'll give it to you." For some reason, the more I looked at this boy, the more I liked him. I remembered that if his daughter could be a perfect match with him.
Qin Lang said politely: "You should keep this knife for yourself."
Chen Qiongnian's face turned dark and he was a little arrogant. I am the Minister of Justice, do you actually want to castrate me?
Qin Lang observed his expression and stopped when he saw that he was fine. He quickly put away his knife.
Chen Qiongnian said: "Tell me, what are you asking for me?"
Qin Lang told Chen Qiunian about his discovery.
Chen Qiongnian knew that he wanted to use his own strength to investigate. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't be anxious. If this matter is really related to some officials, you should not startle the snake too early. You need to set up a long line to catch big fish." This kid is still capable. He actually found Prince Qing, who is also very smart, knowing who can move and who can't move.
In fact, Chen Qiongnian had long suspected that this matter was related to the princes and ministers in the court, and also quietly ordered his subordinates to investigate, but his investigation was not yet clear.
"Did you tell Lord Sang about these things?"
Qin Lang said: "I heard that Lord Chen is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, so I came to ask for your opinion first."
Chen Qiongnian looked at Qin Lang with a smile, and he really admired him more and more. Judging from Qin Lang's current performance, he and Sang Jingtian are not the same as each other. If he really wants to be unfavorable to him, he would not save his daughter when he was in Pingyuanyi.
Chen Qiongnian said: "Wei Yu read that right, you are indeed responsible for your work."
Qin Lang whispered: "Have you heard new rumors recently?"
Chen Qiongnian nodded: "I heard that, it's all rumored that you are my illegitimate son."
"I am deeply sorry for causing trouble to the adults."
Chen Qiongnian waved his hand: "No need to apologize, this matter was originally something I had someone spread."
Qin Lang was not surprised at all. He had guessed that this matter was probably done by Chen Qiunian. However, Chen Qiunian's smart person was not considering this carefully enough. He didn't think about it if someone spreads something about his illegitimate son and his daughter, wouldn't that be a bigger scandal?
Of course, from the current point of view, Chen Qiunian's approach of fighting poison with poison has been effective. Now everyone's attention has changed from the relationship between Qin Lang and Chen Weiyu to the relationship between Qin Lang and Chen Qiunian. Chen Qiunian is good at creating public opinion and is well aware of the principle that water can overturn the boat and can carry the boat.
"You don't have to be bothered by this. If necessary, I will clarify this matter." Chen Qiongnian did not intend to clarify now.
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is not a person who often says that the clear is clear. In fact, the clarification may become darker and darker as it is, let alone this matter is not harmful to me."
Chen Qiongnian was stunned for a moment.
Qin Lang said: "There are many people asking me about this, and my answer is to ask them to ask Lord Chen in person."
Chen Qiongnian sighed inwardly, wouldn’t such a response mean deliberately misleading the outside world? Thinking about how he could create rumors, this guy should take advantage of it. Chen Qiongnian said, “I will go back to Chiyang tomorrow.”
"So fast?" Qin Lang felt a little sudden. After all, Chen Qiongnian had just been named the Minister of Justice, and he thought he would stay in Yongdu to form the Ministry of Justice.
Chen Qiongnian said: "The last emperor has been buried, the new king ascended the throne. I must go back and deal with the matters on Chiyang. I will come back in about a month. No matter what you investigate, it is best not to act rashly and wait for me to come back." Chen Qiongnian originally wanted to remind him not to tell others, but then he thought about it. This kid was clear about the importance of the kid and came to inform him of the situation he found tonight but did not tell Sang Jingtian as soon as possible. This also proves that Qin Lang does not trust Sang Jingtian. Does this kid want to join his camp?
Qin Lang deliberately said, "Will there be any problems with Dabaoen Temple?" When he heard that Hongyu went to Dabaoen Temple to burn incense, the first thing he thought of was whether Chen Weiyu would be targeted again.
Chen Qiongnian shook his head and said, "It's okay, Master Yichan has come back today. With him in charge, there will be no problems there."
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, but Qin Lang was frightened by the news. When he and Yan Ruyu met, Yan Ruyu specifically proposed that he wanted to leave Dabaoen Temple before Master Yichan returned because he was afraid of this old monk with profound Buddhist teachings. Qin Lang had been paying attention to this matter, but he had never heard of the old monk coming back. The news that Chen Qiongnian said in person should be accurate.
Qin Lang couldn't sit still. Could it be that Yan Ruyu was in trouble?
Chen Qiongnian seemed a little uneasy when he saw the boy and whispered: "Is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Chen, for some reason, I always feel uneasy. This feels very similar to when I was in Pingyuan Post that day."
Chen Qiongnian understood that he was hinting that his daughter might be in danger, and smiled indifferently: "I worry about it all."
Qin Lang became more and more frightened as he heard this. He quickly stood up and said goodbye: "I will leave first."
Chen Qiongnian nodded and suddenly called him again and said, "Qin Lang, does Sang Jingtian have a niece named Sang Xuewu?"
When Qin Lang heard him mention Xue Wu's name, he stopped again and looked at Chen Qiongnian vigilantly: "Yes!"
"She is the fox demon of Chidorizumi, right?"
Qin Lang felt a deep heart. It seemed that Chen Qiongnian had already investigated Xue Wu. It was not difficult to find out this information with Chen Qiongnian's power. Could it be that he wanted to be unfavorable to Xue Wu?
Chen Qiongnian didn't look at Qin Lang and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't attack a little fox demon, but I recently got some news that someone from Jiuyou Sect came to Yongdu, as if it was for her."
This matter is closely related to Xue Wu, so Qin Lang quickly sat down again: "Mr. Chen, can you explain it clearly?"
Chen Qiongnian said: "I was not interested in this kind of thing at first, but I thought that you have helped Wei Yu. I would like to remind you that the Empress Dowager has pardoned the Seventh Princess for not guilty and restored her identity. It is said that the Jiuyou Sect will soon send her back to Yongdu."
Qin Lang frowned. Chen Qiongnian was clearly hinting that there seemed to be some kind of agreement between Jiuyou Sect and the Empress Dowager. Could it be that Xuewu was used to exchange Baiyu Palace? If Chen Qiongnian knew about this, Sang Jingtian should have known that he would be indifferent to it? Didn’t he say that Grandma Sang saved his family?
Qin Lang said: "Thank you, Lord Chen, for your reminder."
Chen Qiongnian said: "These things actually have nothing to do with me, and they don't have much to do with you. With Lord Sang's current status, it should be easy to solve." He not only sold Qin Lang a favor, but also got a divisive relationship with him and Sang Jingtian. He killed two birds with one stone, why not do it?
After Qin Lang left Chen's mansion, he rode his horse to Dabaoen Temple. Although Yan Ruyu said that it should be fine to escape back to him when she was in danger when she was in danger, everything was unexpected. From Chen Qiongnian's relief expression, he knew that this Master Yichan was an extremely powerful person, and Yan Ruyu himself was very afraid of this person, otherwise he would not have offered to leave early.
When he arrived near Dabaoen Temple, Qin Lang turned over and dismounted, took out Yan Ruyu's portrait and spread it out. Yan Ruyu should be able to sense it at such a distance, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see any reaction and began to feel something was wrong.
At this time, Qin Lang discovered that Yan Ruyu's portrait was becoming dim. At first, he thought it was because of the dim light, but he soon realized that Yan Ruyu's portrait was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This painting was painted by Qin Lang in Wumo Bookstore. At that time, the original work that Yan Ruyu used to live in was destroyed. Qin Lang used the assistance of Shenming to complete the portrait. Yan Ruyu's soul body and this painting had been successfully established. In other words, Yan Ruyu's soul is in danger. According to Qin Lang's past experience, if Yan Ruyu in the painting completely disappears, she is very likely to face the danger of being dispersed.
