Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 219 An unexpected harvest, the loyal minister Lao Song (Xie Zhuoyao leader, 7k)

Yu Ziqing crushed a jade slip and sent a message to Xin Shihao, wanting to ask him something.

After waiting for more than a day, the new tenth quietly appeared.

"There's something I want to ask you, in more detail."

"Is it important?"

"Very important.

I would like to ask, how are the screening people selected over there, and is there any screening recently? "

"Newcomers will appear from time to time, there is no fixed time, and there are still some who are not qualified to go out.

But these days, there are indeed newcomers coming.

There are also a lot of newcomers falling, and newcomers disappear from time to time.

Moreover, the loss of those who went out to the task was not small, and the manpower must be increased.

New tasks also require more manpower, and the current manpower is definitely not enough. "

"I understand."

No matter how much you think, no matter how much you speculate, you still have to confirm it at Xinshihao, so that Yu Ziqing can rest assured.

And it is also possible to be sure whether he should contribute a little bit next time.

Lao Song wants to do something, but this matter is not only related to Lao Song.

The relationship between them, because of the relationship between Lao Song's two children, is actually very close.

Yu Ziqing had no reason to just eat melons and watch the show, without any effort.

At least we have to find an opportunity to see if we can add some insurance at critical times.

After thinking about it, Yu Ziqing quietly went to the southern border of Dali.

Judging from the information given by Lao Song, [-]% of them cannot be wrong.

The Dagan prince is willing to bite the bullet and intercede, which proves that this person is still very important.

The concubine's natal family is also very powerful, and those who have no strength will not do these things.

This kind of person, Bai Shuidan will definitely not give up.

And there is a big possibility that Bai Shuidan intentionally tried to influence the game.

Lao Song is also cautious enough. He doesn't want to turn over the old score, but wants to make it seem like an accidental discovery and be forced to catch the current situation.

Yu Ziqing wanted to go and see for himself.

All the way to the southern border of Dali.

To the west of the battlefield is Kuihou Kingdom, and to the east is another small country.

Between the two small countries, there is a battlefield stretching six to seven thousand miles wide, which is also the widest area directly bordering Dali and Dagan.

In fact, the eastern coastal area, logically speaking, borders on a larger area, but the two gods tacitly did not go there to fight.

Going there is particularly easy to involve the Sea Clan, and if not done well, it will become a three-party melee.

The Hai Clan doesn't have the cohesion of the God Dynasty, and the strong Hai Clan can't control the people below well, and their ideas are different, so it's best not to gamble on many things.

During the years when Dali and Dagan have been at war, there is one big battle every year, and several small battles every month, and the two sides fight back and forth.

After a big earthquake, eating melons and watching the theater was enjoyable, and it was a joy to take the opportunity to farm and accumulate strength.

As for Lihuo Yuan and Langya Yuan, you have been coming and going these years. Overall, Langya Yuan has suffered heavy losses.

There are quite a few people who have been poached by the Lihuo Academy, and those who have their beards cut off, ranging from ascetics to bigwigs with high achievements in a certain field.

Yu Ziqing borrowed from Kuihou Kingdom, and he could already feel the impact of the war before he stepped out of the border.

In the eastern part of Kuihou Kingdom, near the border, there are far fewer people, and many fields have been abandoned.

Yu Ziqing rubbed his face, pinching his face into a different appearance, not as ugly as before, with crooked mouth and eyes.

But it's not much better. It seems that he has encountered a fire and suffered serious injuries. He doesn't have enough money to take good elixir, and he hasn't recovered well.

Wearing ordinary clothes, Yu Ziqing restrained all his aura, absorbed all the energy and blood into the acupuncture points, and slowly entered the city closest to the border.

There are not many people coming and going, but there is a sense of doomsday carnival in the depression.

There are no guards at the city gate to collect money, so it must be a lot of trouble, otherwise, with the temperament of the Lord Kuihou, he doesn't care about things, and if there is less money, he will really kill him.

With a glance, Yu Ziqing saw at least a dozen guys who were definitely deserters.

I just don't know if it's Dali's or Dagan's. No one here will ask them.

When the two gods clashed, they also tacitly did not involve the two small countries next to them. No matter how much they fought, they would never enter the borders of the two small countries.

Once this kind of head is started, it will never end again.

The hottest places in the city are still brothels and kilns of various grades, and shops selling talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons.

And it seems that the latter has a higher traffic flow than the former.

In addition, a large number of shops are closed, and the number of ordinary residents has decreased significantly.

This is still a situation where the battlefield has not directly affected here, if it is directly involved, it will only be worse.

Yu Ziqing originally thought that there would be problems if he came here, so he came to Kuihou Kingdom first, but now it seems that he thought too much.

Walking out of Kuihou's country, before seeing anyone, he felt the murderous aura of the army lingering in the air.

The six cities that were thrown away in one go before the Daqian were all attached to Kuihou Kingdom, from north to south, like a sharp thorn inserted straight down.

The second prince has now counterattacked back and regained five cities, and the sixth is probably coming soon.

Dali will not stick to it, it doesn't make much sense.

Yu Ziqing came all the way to the vicinity of the sixth city, opened Yinshen's eyes, took a look from a distance, and was completely sure.

The evil spirit of soldiers seems to cover a large area, but in fact it is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. There may not be many people left. Dali is already preparing to retreat, and he may not even want to fight.

The gates of the city are wide open, and there are many people coming in and out, and more people come in and less people come out.

This abnormal sign is also very indicative of the problem.

Yu Ziqing mixed in the crowd, found a few people with the bloody soldier's aura on them, and followed them.

The few people just glanced at him, saw the face that seemed to have been burned by fire, and seemed to have been severely injured by a secret method, so they didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and let him follow.

It was very smooth to sneak in, and the guards only glanced at it, and didn't even question him.

After Yu Ziqing entered the city, he randomly found a small house with no one to live in, but within a few days, he heard the screams of killing outside.

The soldiers left behind by Dali only resisted a little, and retreated directly from the north city gate, letting the city out.

On the second day, Dagan continued to take over the city, and on the third day, someone came to check every house.

When the visitor saw Yu Ziqing's face that had been badly injured, his face was beyond recognition, he walked with a limp, and when he was interrogated, his eyes were numb and waiting to die.

Someone came into the room to search, only to find the cold stove, the leftover porridge with long hairs in the pot, and the rice in the rice jar could not even cover the bottom.

There was a jingle of poverty, and there was nothing of value, so they didn't ask much.

They have seen too much of this kind of people recently, and they are also numb.

Under the chaos of war, only blood will appear particularly fresh.

Yu Ziqing sighed secretly, when he was far away, no matter how much he listened to, he never came to personally feel the true feeling.

After waiting for a few more days, after the city under his feet had initially stabilized, he finally heard the news.

Someone outside is shouting that at noon tomorrow, the general Zhonglang who fled without a fight and abandoned the city will be killed in public, and everyone who is free will go to see the beheading.

Watching beheadings can be regarded as a rare entertainment for these frontier residents.

The next day, Yu Ziqing didn't dare to come too early. When he arrived, there were already crowds of people here. At first glance, it looked like a market.

As far as the eye could see, most of the people didn't seem to care about beheading, and were busy going to the market.

This caught Yu Ziqing in a daze.

While rushing to the market, they were busy arranging the execution platform. It was almost noon, and the second prince appeared surrounded by people, and after Lao Song also appeared, the crowd calmed down a little.

Yu Ziqing felt that these people were probably just taking advantage of this time to take a break at halftime, and then they would continue to go to the fair after they were done.

On the execution platform, there was a heavily tied man kneeling, but on the surface, he was not injured or tortured, and his hair seemed to have been re-styled.

He just knelt there numbly, expressionless, with the posture of hanging his neck and waiting to die.

The stinky and long sentence was pronounced, and the crimes were listed. It took a whole stick of incense to read, and the time here is almost up.

The people in the army stepped forward and verified their integrity. If it is dealt with by ordinary military law, this is enough.

The second prince looked at Song Chengyue who was watching the play, and said.

"Master Song, it has been verified that Jin Yiwei has been doing the body, and this thief is not simply dealt with by military law. I will thank Mr. Song."

Song Chengyue frowned slightly, then immediately looked at Jin Yiwei who was following him, and took out a magic weapon and handed it to him.

"Go ahead."

Song Chengyue seemed a little unhappy, but he was very clear in his heart.

As long as he was present, if the second prince wanted to kill the prince, in order not to be singled out, he had to be involved.

He didn't want to intervene, and the second prince would definitely ask him to intervene.

Originally, the Jinyiwei here had three tasks that might be sent to verify the spirit.

But Song Chengyue didn't bring them when he came today, he only brought one of his cronies.

It's just to show that this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just a spectator. If it wasn't for protecting the second prince, I wouldn't have come here at all.

The magic weapon to verify the soul is this top-notch high-end item that he carries with him, and the entire Jinyiwei Yamen is the only one, and it is the top-notch magic weapon of the official gods.

There is no problem in verifying body, face, and body. The people of Jinyiwei hold magic weapons to verify the soul. The steps are the same, but the effect is completely different.

The magic weapon is so powerful that it actually directly projects the phantom of its soul.

At first glance, it is exactly the same as himself.

Song Chengyue's heart skipped a beat, secretly wondering, could it be wrong?

In the crowd, Yu Ziqing, who was watching the excitement, was also a little dazed when the projection of the spirit appeared.

Would those white water eggs really give up such a top-notch consumable?

It is absolutely impossible.

That guy with numb eyes and no fluctuations is [-]% a scapegoat.

And Bacheng is a white water egg who is not qualified to go out to do missions and cannot be alone.

He quietly formed a seal, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the execution platform.

In an instant, there was a wave of fluctuation in the numb eyes of the person kneeling on the execution platform.

The moment he opened his mouth, three talisman phantoms suddenly emerged and sealed on his mouth, and the phantoms of six chains emerged from the void, hooking the two ends of the talisman.

The moment this fluctuation appeared, the man's numb eyes suddenly became hollow.

The phantom of the soul that manifested also slowly changed at this moment, and the facial features projected by the soul became blurred and disappeared.

The sudden change shocked everyone.

The projection of the spirit and soul did not match, and there was also a magic spell of silence.

Anyone with a brain, the first thing that comes to mind is that something big has happened, and someone has replaced the death row.

The second prince's expression was shocked, and he was overjoyed when he was shocked.

The prince is crazy, and the princess's natal family is also crazy, and they dare to change the death row.

In exchange for a death row prisoner bestowed by the emperor himself!
However, the great joy in the second prince's heart had not yet fully arisen, and the expression of a servant who had been following behind him changed slightly.

The same three staggered talismans, with chain phantoms, turned out and sealed directly on his mouth.

Yu Ziqing dismissed the Yin Jue, just like everyone else, confused and shocked.

Anyone who looked at it at this moment was completely flawless, and he was really shocked.

He just felt something was wrong, and wanted to give it a try, to see if he could activate the magic spell of silence and disrupt the situation.

How could he have imagined that not only the condemned prisoner was activated with the magic spell of silence, but there was also a person next to the second prince who was forcibly activated with the magic spell of silence.

Although Song Chengyue was shocked, he had already expected it in his heart. The first time he saw this scene, he shouted loudly.

"Take it!"

Song Chengyue ignored the death row prisoner, but kept his duty, and immediately appeared beside the second prince, and slapped the servant on the face.

In an instant, the servant's neck was twisted half a circle, and his face was ripped apart.

Flying backwards in a circle, when it landed not far away, the skin on half of the waiter's face had fallen off, revealing half a white egg.

"Come here, there are assassins, protect His Highness."

Song Chengyue stood by the second prince's side, looking like a dog who was dedicated to his duty and put the protection of the second prince first.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

That Bai Shui Dan pretending to be a servant, was exposed, one eye didn't care about the other, but quickly looked around, trying to imprint everything around it into his mind.

He never expected such a sudden change.

It was just an inexplicable power that emerged in his heart, and he followed the death row prisoner to activate the magic spell of silence.

He didn't even know when he had been under the curse of silence.

I don't understand why this is the case.

But now is not the time to think about these things, he needs to figure out why it was triggered, because he didn't think about anything at all, and it was definitely not triggered by himself.

He supported his head, twisted it back, and backed away quickly.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Song Chengyue's eyes, really thought you could escape if I didn't take action?
In just two breaths, that Baishuidan's figure suddenly receded, and as he slowly disappeared, six beams of light appeared around him for hundreds of feet.

Up and down, left and right, front and back, there is a Jin Yiwei wearing a flying fish suit standing in the air, each holding a magic weapon.

"A net of heaven and earth."

With a loud shout, the sky and the earth, all directions were blocked by the big net formed by the halo.

There was also a white-haired Jin Yiwei, who stepped on a tortoise, stood in the air, squeezed the Yin Jue, put his hands together, and yelled loudly.

"town!"

In an instant, within the control area of ​​the sky net, the air flow stopped slightly.

The tortoise at the foot of the white-haired Jin Yiwei raised one foot and slowly lowered it.

Immediately, waves of waves dissipated.

In the heavenly net, Bai Shuidan's figure suddenly emerged, he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and the painted skin on his body cracked and shattered.

The large net formed by the surrounding rays of light continued to shrink, binding it tightly.

As for the other prisoner, his limbs had already been roughly broken, and he was pinned down on the ground.

After taking the two together, Song Chengyue turned to look at the second prince.

"Song's investigation was so lax that he allowed the assassin to sneak into His Highness's side, and asked His Highness to forgive him.

Song will immediately plead guilty to His Majesty, and will never shirk responsibility.

Song will definitely torture the assassin severely and give the Second Highness an explanation. "

After finishing speaking, Song Chengyue waved at the Jin Yiwei.

"take away."

The second prince is a little numb.

What did he say, that this person was actually arranged by me, and I had some small cooperation with these people.

But the death row prisoner in the execution ground was replaced by someone, and the person next to him, whose identity was exposed, ran away when something happened.

Song Chengyue took one assassin at a time, and he was convicted of the crime when he came up.

It is impossible for the second prince to admit to knowing these things.

"Don't blame Mr. Song for this matter, this king will personally write a letter to Father Emperor, so Mr. Song does not need to worry too much.

This time, thanks to Mr. Song for his timely response.

To be so safe and sound. "

Bai Shuidan, who was caught, was also a little numb, and he still didn't understand why, why.

He didn't say a word, he definitely couldn't bite the second prince right now.

Falling into Jin Yiwei's hands, what will happen to him later, I already know very well in my heart.

To be able to die quickly is considered a great luck.

Song Chengyue acted quickly and dealt with the follow-up in an orderly manner.

Jin Yiwei will take over the next job.

The condemned prisoners were brought back for interrogation, and the captured Baishuidan was also taken back for interrogation.

And immediately, the photo stone and phonograph stone prepared to protect the second prince, together with a memorial, were sent to Miyagi.

He knew that someone must have intervened in the previous incident, and most likely it was someone from Jinlanshan.

The scope of the picture stone is only around the second prince and the execution ground, and there is no distant scene at all, for fear that someone will be accidentally included in it.

Even if it is said, there is a saying, he is to protect the second prince, not for anything else.

This time, Song Chengyue didn't stick to the pot, and he reacted promptly and handled it properly. No one could pick a thorn in his side.

Yu Ziqing saw that the matter was settled and there was no suspense, so he left quietly.

On the same day, a series of excerpts appeared on Emperor Qian's desk.

Emperor Qian looked at the second prince first, and talked about the matter, and by the way, said a few good words for Song Chengyue.

Qianhuang smiled and didn't care. After everyone else finished reading, everyone's details were different.

Song Chengyue's memorial, which he read last, even came with a picture stone and a phonograph stone.

Song Chengyue's excerpts are rigorous in wording, stern and precise, and completely repeat the facts.

The photo stone was activated to directly project the scene at that time, and even the conversation between the second prince and Song Chengyue was completely recorded.

It could be clearly seen that Song Chengyue was very cautious and didn't want to get involved in this matter at all, and the fleeting frown was clearly recorded.

Even the magic weapon is the one that I carry with me, everything speaks for itself.

The follow-up processing was quick, methodical and very well done.

There is also the self-proclaimed Song, who has a good sense of proportion.

After Qianhuang read it, he looked at Song Chengyue's excerpt again, and became more and more satisfied with Song Chengyue.

Whether the death row prisoner was replaced or other things, it really had nothing to do with Song Chengyue, nor did it have anything to do with Jin Yiwei.

Look at other people's books, and take the opportunity to criticize the prince's notes.

Take the opportunity to sell well to speak for Song Chengyue.

In a mess, a group of demons danced wildly.

Only Song Chengyue's excerpts are about the matter itself and what to do next.

This comparison makes Song Chengyue a clear stream.

Originally, Song Chengyue was pleasing to the eye, but now he appears to be more capable, dutiful, and loyal to his duties.

Emperor Qian glanced at the pile of notebooks that were delivered again.

"If you take the opportunity to criticize the posts, throw them all away.

Pass down the order and let Song Chengyue decide to investigate this matter thoroughly.

But those who disobey will be killed first and played later, including everyone. "

The old servant next to him fixed his eyes and immediately started to draft the imperial edict.

His Majesty personally ordered the death row to be replaced by others. This is a heinous case, and whoever stops him will die.

On the same day, Kunyou sent an imperial decree, Song Chengyue took the imperial decree and smiled secretly.

All the way to Jin Yiwei's death cell.

Bai Shui Dan had already covered his face, Qi Hai was crippled, and his body was nailed to death on the rack.

"I know that people like you are not afraid of death, but coincidentally, I rarely let people die.

Do you know where the most skilled life-saving doctor in the capital city is?
Right here in my Jinyiwei death cell.

It is difficult for you to die even if you are not allowed to die.

If you are honest, whoever sent to assassinate the Second Highness, I can give you a happy. "

Song Chengyue sat there, flipping through the confession.

This guy, from biting the crown prince at the beginning, to biting the second prince in the back, the two took turns biting.

"Then tell me first, where did you learn this technique?"

After Song Chengyue finished asking, he saw the magic spell of silence took shape.

"what……"

Song Chengyue smiled, got up and left.

"You continue the interrogation, call two doctors over, tell them that there is a special guy here, you can let them do anything.

As long as they don't die, they can do whatever they want. If they die, they won't be able to come back for the next 100 years.

All situations are recorded, and there is no difference in the slightest. "

Song Chengyue turned and left to see the other death row prisoner.

The death row prisoner is also a white water egg, with his head covered and a complete painted skin next to him. After verification, it belongs to the Zhonglang general.

"Tsk, in order to survive, he suffered a great crime and was stripped alive."

"Go, it's okay, I'll sort out some more cells, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people living here in the next period of time.

If it's not enough, find someone to continue to expand. "

After taking a look at the confession, this Baishuidan was the same as the other one.

Unable to bear the torture, he started talking nonsense, biting and biting indiscriminately.

But there is none of the key information, as long as he wants to say it, the magic spell of silence will be activated.

Not a big question, the question itself is part of the answer.

While watching, he suddenly sensed the call of the ring on the seventh floor.

Song Chengyue found a place, listened to the screams in the death cell, closed his eyes and meditated.

The guards around saw that the adults in their family had a rare sense of elegance, and even tortured them hard to show off.

On the seventh floor, Yu Ziqing was already waiting here.

"It's not very easy, is it?"

"You came to help before?"

"It's rare for you to do something, so I'll definitely help if I can, with a little trick."

"It's really not easy to interrogate. These people are under the magic spell of silence, and they can't even ask for valuable things." Song Chengyue sighed.

"I dare say that the man who lurks beside the second prince is definitely not trying to kill him."

"I know that too, but I can only treat him as an assassin."

"I'll give you some information. The King Qi who was shocked back then was tricked by these people. There was a Baishuidan who was killed by King Qi in the crack of the abyss, and his body fell into the hands of the hungry ghost.

Later, news about King Qi leaked everywhere, and it was these people who were taking revenge.

It has attracted the confrontation between the three gods, and these people are also fueling the flames.

I got a little clue over there, key words for you two.

Mother River, the land only.

By the way, you can also talk to the second prince, he must have some cooperation with these people.

There must be one on the prince's side, otherwise, there would be no exchange of death row prisoners.

A force that is not under the control of the imperial court has hooked up with the crown prince and the second prince at the same time, the two most promising successors.

This is where it gets interesting. "

"I'll think about it later." Song Chengyue knew that it was much easier to take revenge now.

But he had to think about what the Qianhuang thought and what the Qianhuang wanted to see.

Who would have thought, Yu Ziqing said next.

"I know that if the disturbance is too big, Emperor Qian will definitely stop it.

He needs stability for the next few hundred years.

So, at the critical moment, how do you think you are taking the blame?
Like, let the guy pretending to be a death row escape? "

"How dare I release this kind of prisoner."

"If you let it go, the matter will be logically impossible to investigate, but if the Emperor Qian knows everything, and why?"

"Huh..." Song Chengyue's expression changed.

If he really dared to dig into the dead, the other princes would definitely contribute to the flames, and if he found out some clues a little bit, he would get involved in a series of things such as the chaotic war between the Three Gods.

Then follow the mother river to investigate, and it is impossible for Emperor Qian to bear such a thing in Daqian territory.

There is no doubt that the concubine's family is doomed.

Next, the prince is also very likely to be abolished.

Then the second prince's family will become the dominant one.

The sky is really going to be turned upside down, and there will be no stability for the next few hundred years.

Therefore, he, a loyal minister, found out the key points, made people run away, took the blame, and found an excuse, and that's it.

It is indeed a bit operable.

But it's not enough, you have to go through the old accounts, turn over all the old accounts, and let the emperor know.

"You want this person?"

"That's right, he was all given up and went to die for him, I want to try, can I ask something.

You will definitely not be able to ask, he knows he will die, so why bother talking.

I'm different, with me, he won't die. "

"I'll go back and think about it, let's see the situation first." Song Chengyue didn't agree immediately, he had to judge according to the situation, otherwise he couldn't play well, and he didn't share the emperor's worries and took the initiative to take the blame, but he screwed up and took the blame.

　Hey, if it is written in detail, some people say it is watery, but if it is not detailed, more people say it cannot be connected. I also want to take care of most of them so that they can sort it out.

　　I’ll update it earlier, write it around seven o’clock, I can write as much as I can, and I can cook for my daughter-in-law earlier.
