and seizing Chongji Island were just small steps Gu Huixin took to vie for speaking rights. To outsiders, these actions seemed shocking, but they were merely minor details in the grand scheme of thin...“This bowl of medicine is very complex, I can't tell much just by smelling it.” Lin Youxie put the bowl of medicinal soup into his storage pouch: “I’ll take it back to do more specific research.”
As for Lin Youxie's judgment, Jiang Wang naturally believed it.
He found it hard to forget the sight of Lin Youxie quietly concocting medicine. That tranquil feeling of enduring pain, in a way, was somewhat similar to Jiang Wuqian's. Lin Youxie being able to create his own remedies to suppress his fear syndrome naturally meant he had a deep understanding of pharmaceuticals.
Zheng Shangming seemed not to be surprised either, tacitly allowing Lin Youxie to put away the bowl of medicine. He didn't offer any opinion, just used a cautious gaze to scan the study.
Jiang Wang stood at the door, behind him was a skylight that could hardly be called brilliant. In front of him were two blue-plaque police chiefs, each busy with their own tasks.
The study is silent, yet it speaks a unique language, describing the trajectory of a favored child of heaven.
Every visitor tries to find that special language, to communicate with the library.
Including Jiang Wang himself.
His gaze fell upon the two green-card holders, but it was scattered. He thought of many things in an instant.
After taking a painting and a book back that day, there were still three days of mourning for Jiang Wuqì in between.

This study really hasn't changed at all.
It seems like no one has come in for all these days in between.
He couldn't help but think...

Feng Gu was simply mourning Jiang Wuqi, not wanting to disturb his pre-death arrangements, but still wanted to leave something behind
If this study could yield any interesting information.
Was it Jiang Wuqi who left it, or Feng Gu
Feng Gu committed suicide.
Suddenly, Lin Youxie's voice transmission came to Jiang Wang's ear, which made him stunned.
He didn't know why Lin Youxie deliberately avoided Zheng Shangming and communicated in whispers, but he was still shocked by the information in this sentence and couldn't help but look over.
"Just a bit more natural." Lin Youxie's voice echoed in her ears.
Jiang Wang then naturally glanced at Zheng Shangming, fulfilling his duty as a "supervisor".
I don't quite understand why, compared to the upright Zheng Shangming, Lin Youxie seems to trust himself more. However, Jiang Wang is very convinced by his analysis of Lin Youxie. His ability and sense of responsibility are both very obvious.
"How do you know" Jiang Wang replied via voice transmission.
Lin Youxie's voice continued, "Although he deliberately misled people into thinking his suicide was a perfect setup by the perpetrator. He did a good job. But it's easy to deceive others, but difficult to deceive oneself. His body tells me that he really did commit suicide."
Jiang Wang remembered what Lin Youxie once said, "A corpse is made up of clues."
Sever all complex relationships behind the corpse, and seek answers only from the body itself.
She must have studied Feng Gu's body more than once to be so certain.
Just as Jiang Wang was about to speak, another voice reached his ears——
My father is about to arrive.
>
Zheng Shangming's voice.
At this moment, the son of the Northern Palace Cavalry Captain was standing in front of a huge bookshelf opposite his writing desk, scrutinizing it inch by inch... just as Lin Youxie was carefully inspecting Jiang Wukui's seat.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It's hard to believe he was also quietly whispering to Jiang Wang.
Three people, a mere three, actually opened up two private chat "battlefields."
It is clear that Zheng Shuming and Lin Youxie, although they get along well, are not on the same side.
Zheng Shangming was Zheng Shi's only son, and as such, he was also the emperor's direct descendant. He represented the emperor in a sense, of course, but he also had the interests of his Zheng family in the Inspectorate.
Where is Lin Youxie
Do the represent the four fallen Qing Dynasty clans, or is it her
“Why would he do that”
Jiang Wangxian transmitted a voice to Lin Youxie, then transmitted a voice to Zheng Shangming: "Congratulations."
Although such a congratulatory remark felt a little sneaky and strange, facing Zheng Shangming's sudden topic, there was really no other way to respond.
Especially the content Lin Youxie expressed at this moment was quite captivating, so he merely perfunctorily addressed Zheng Shangming and let it go.
Lin Youxie's voice continued to echo in his ears: "Feng Gu knew very well about the investigative capabilities of the Beiyuan. He knew it would be difficult to stage a perfect crime without leaving any trace, and after his death, he wouldn't be able to control anyone anymore. So he simply gave up on tampering with his own body and just hanged himself so plainly. With only a letter full of implications, he created the perfect murder illusion. As for his purpose...what his death would ultimately lead people to suspect, that was his goal. He wanted to use his death to guide the Beiyuan's investigation into something else."
Zheng Shangming almost immediately relayed the message. He was straightforward: "Brother Jiang, are you interested in the position of Northern Garrison Captain Your current cultivation level is just right. If you want to take this position, we will fully support you."
He didn't say what he wanted in return. His willingness to speak with Jiang Wang on this matter itself was a condition. Since the Zheng family now supported Jiang Wang, then of course they would support Zheng Shangming when it came time for Jiang Wang to leave his position.
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment.
Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming were both continuing with their work, no one urged the other, and they both felt that Jiang Wang was thinking seriously...
Jiang Wang was indeed thinking, but it wasn't just about one problem.
Meanwhile, having private conversations with two people, both of whom were giving him so much information, made it hard for him to sort things out immediately.
First is the question of Lin Youxie.
>
Jiang Wang transmitted his voice back, "What do you think... Feng Gu wants the Northern Camp to investigate"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, Zheng Shuming said something.
To be honest, the position of North Camp Commandant is one that no one would refuse.
It was only at the fourth rank in terms of official position. But this post actually wielded power close to that of the great figures in the Departments of Civil and Military Affairs!
This official, formally known as "Imperial City Inspector General, concurrently serving as the Chief Inspector of the Imperial City and holding the title of Imperial City Inspector," had the power to control all blue-plaque holders throughout the country, effectively carrying out operations across the Eastern Region without hindrance. Furthermore, with the designation "directly under the emperor's command," the political influence this position could wield was difficult to describe simply.
He can be said to be a model of humble position and high authority, the highest peak that outer-realm cultivators can reach in the state of Qi!
It's no secret that Zheng Shi will be leaving his post. At his age and current state, if he doesn't advance to the Divine Realm soon, it will affect his future cultivation.

Uncountable people throughout the court and beyond were watching this spot. Zhang Weiyue's sudden attack on Jiang Wang in the Imperial Court last time, and his personal expedition to Qingyang Town for investigation, were stark examples of this.
Many people have already seen Jiang Wang as a direct competitor. With reminders from Chong Xuan, Jiang Wang was not completely unprepared for this.
He had never expected Zheng Shangming to suddenly bring up this matter in such a situation, and to express it so directly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After some thought, I decided to discuss it with Chongxuan first. I sent a voice transmission back: “This is too sudden, I need to think about it.”
>
Lin Youxie's voice sounded at this time, analyzing in an orderly manner: "Feng Gu, that person, was someone from Empress Lei Gui's palace when Jiang Wukui's biological mother was alive. After Empress Lei Gui's death, he served Jiang Wukui. To make him willing to risk his life to push for the investigation... what else could it be"
“Of course.” Zheng Shangming’s voice also came back: “But if you are interested in the position of North Gate Garrison Captain, then this case today is a good opportunity.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This transmits sound here, and that transmits sound there.
If Jiang Wang had not possessed the celestial bearing of a sound-hearing immortal and remarkable control over sound, it would have been truly difficult to cope.
But the tremor in my heart, it's truly indescribable!
He thought back to the day of Jiang Wuqi's funeral, when Feng Gu said that sentence in front of the mirror.
"His Highness has gotten what he wanted, but this old dog of mine still hasn't gotten what I desire."
It all makes sense now...
Feng Gu was willing to die to create the illusion of being murdered. He wanted to restart the investigation into the assassination of Empress Lei in the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Yuanfeng, and find the real culprit from back then!
He called himself just an old dog, but after Jiang Wuqidi's death, he had no scruples and must tear off a piece of flesh from his enemy!
Jiang Wang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and transmitted sound to Lin Youxie: "In that case, there must be clues left in Changsheng Palace that can directly connect to the assassination of Lei Guifei back then. Right"
Then, the sound transmission told Zheng Shuming: "What opportunity"

Lin Youxie's voice came back quickly: "There is no other explanation. I hope you can help me, this clue needs to be in my hands."
"Why" Jiang Wang asked back.
No wonder Lin Youxie wanted to communicate privately, acting so mysteriously. It turns out she wanted to sideline Zheng Shangming and single-handedly seize this clue. But what makes her think I would help her instead of Zheng Shangming, who has a closer relationship with me
Zheng Shangming's voice also rose at this time: "Because the background of this case is very complex, far more complicated than it appears now, involving many issues. The future Northern Censor should show his ability to handle complex relationships, and even more so, demonstrate his attitude to the Son of Heaven!"
In his conversations with Lin Youxie, Jiang Wang had realized how complex Feng Gu's death was. He therefore found it hard to understand why Zheng Shangming would take on the case and why Zheng Shi would agree to let Zheng Shangming handle it.

When it comes to such complex and politically sensitive cases, it is extremely difficult for those involved to remain unscathed. History is full of tragic examples, so wise people should steer clear of them.
The death of Concubine Lei, after so many years, remains unresolved. How complex are the intricacies involved
Behind it all, a web of intricate entanglements exists, as deep and vast as the ocean. Just thinking about it sends shivers down your spine. How many people must have drowned in its depths before their stories were finally laid to rest
Zheng Shangming had every reason to avoid this whirlpool, yet he stepped right into it!
>
Why is that so
As soon as Zheng Shangming said this, he understood completely.
The position of Northern Palace Commandant only answered to the emperor and all that was required was his trust.
Zheng Shangming took charge of this case out of his own volition, it was a way of showing his loyalty to the Emperor. Just like his father, he only owed allegiance to the Emperor and wasn't afraid to offend anyone, even if it meant facing death.
Similarly, Jiang Wang also needs to have the awareness to dare to tear into anyone, in order to be recognized by the Son of Heaven and take the seat of the Northern Camp's Commander first.
Therefore Zheng Shangming said, this case is an opportunity.
This is indeed an opportunity...a tempting and dangerous one.
"I think I understand..." Jiang Wang replied to Zheng Shangming through voice transmission, "Let me think about it."
Lin Youxie's voice rang out again: "Because...before the Eleventh Prince died, the Changsheng Palace had always taken good care of me."
Jiang Wang frowned, thinking to herself, what reason could this be
He replied, “If it’s truly as you say, and there are such clues left in the Changsheng Palace, what difference does it make whether they are in your hands or Zheng Shangming’s If we both seek the truth together and witness it firsthand, wouldn't that be clearer”
Lin Youxie had already checked Jiang Wuki's desk and stood up to walk towards the bookshelf with paintings. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Jiang Wang: "An hour before Feng Gu committed suicide, someone put something in front of my door."
For some reason, upon hearing this description, Jiang Wang immediately recalled what Li Yougui had once told him...
When Lin Kuang died, someone threw his body in front of the three-year-old Lin Youxie, causing her to develop a phobia. As the heir of a prominent family, she was unable to face a corpse...
"What is it" Jiang Wang asked.
Lin Youxie's fingers glided over the bookshelf, a quiet voice trailing behind, "A scalpel... engraved with my father's unique mark. It was a tool he lost years ago."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang's hair stood on end in an instant.
Feng Gu's death was far more complex than imagined. It wasn't just possibly connected to the Lei Gui Fei case, but it also seemed to be linked to Lin Xiang, the renowned detective of that era
>
"Are you saying..."
"My father met his end investigating the case of Lady Lei Gui, losing both his life and reputation. For all these years, I have strived to uncover the truth behind his demise."
In the past, when Lin Kuang died, those who knew the truth have always kept it secret.
Is it because I got involved in the court intrigue surrounding Consort Lei's assassination
If Lin Youxie's claims at the beginning were only at the level of speculation, after combining with the anatomical knife from Lin Kuang's autopsy in the past, the target that Feng Gu suicide pointed to was already crystal clear.
The chief eunuch of Changsheng Palace hanged himself, which was a shocking case in itself.
But the reason behind it was even more terrifying, directly tracing back to seventeen years of history, all the way to the 38th year of Emperor Yuanfeng. It involved the death of Consort Lei, Jiang Wudi's cold poison taking hold... and the death of Lin Kuang, a renowned detective of his time!
This is a huge case that could shake the entire state of Qi!
Strictly speaking, its development could very well influence the entire political landscape of the Qi Empire.
Here is the translation of " >" The content inside the tags > is empty. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Think about it, who in the entire Qi state could have killed Empress Lei and suppressed so many affairs
Which one isn't high above!
It's no wonder Feng Gu said in his suicide note, "My life is short and insignificant. Death is nothing to regret; once the coffin is closed, it's all over."
He knew that his death probably wouldn't make much of a splash.
This was just his last effort.
There is no other way, only death.

"Don't you believe Zheng Shangming" Jiang Wang asked in a choked voice.
Lin Youxie said, “I don’t trust anyone in the Patrol Department.”
That's right. Lin Kuang must have found something back then, and there must be a mastermind behind the scenes at the Inspectorate, otherwise how could someone as famous and capable as Lin Kuang suddenly die
Died under mysterious circumstances.
So, Lü Lie, who was a close friend of Lin Xiang and was known as the "Northern Lü" and the "Southern Lin," would directly resign...
In this kind of situation, how could Lin Youxie dare to trust the people from the Patrol Department
"But you actually believe me" Jiang Wang asked.
“Because you are truly a trustworthy person.” Lin Youxie said.
She spoke very calmly.
But for a person who, after her father's death, maintained vigilance over the entire Qi State's inspection department and even the officialdom, the trust she bestowed was truly heavy!
