Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

She recalled those statues with strange faces, and said: "The carving of this statue is not like this dynasty. I don't know which generation left it, but it is a bit strange. I can't remember where I saw it."

Yuan Sui signaled everyone in the house to go out, but now Huan saw that she had something to say, so she ordered: "Stay outside, and no outsiders are allowed to peep."

At this time there were only the three of them in the room, Jin Huan said: "What Master Yuan wants to say, I can say it now."

Qing Ping quickly opened his mouth and said, "My lord, is that statue sunk near the embankment?"

Jin Huan lowered her eyes and said: "Exactly, the two adults have asked so many questions, can you tell me what you are investigating here?"

Qing Ping and Yuan Sui looked at each other, Yuan Sui said: "The investigation is of course the case, and the real culprit is of course to be found. I wonder if there is a story in this book, can my lord read it?"

She didn't know when she opened the book and pressed one of the pages. Jin Huan picked it up and looked at it a few times, and said, "Bi Luo City? It's interesting, Mr. Yuan is not here to check this, is it?"

Yuan Sui said calmly, "I don't know what your lord thinks?"

Jin Huan sneered and said: "Predecessors' illusory talk is not enough to believe. Let alone how to build this city, tens of thousands of labors alone are needed. It is nothing more than a fool's dream to want to build this city out of thin air under the eyes of the court."

Qingping took out something from his sleeve and said, "I wonder if my lord has seen this before?"

Jin Huan frowned and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Master Li also saw the statue. I saw that it had a strange shape, so I asked someone to print it. There is also such a logo on the back of the statue. It looks like It's an eye." She glanced at Qingping's face and said, "Could it be that there's something else to pay attention to?"

Qingping said: "At the beginning of the court meeting, a national teacher of Fanbang died, and there was such a sign in her room. At that time, Mr. Yuan and I suspected that this national teacher was secretly hidden in the mission, and he never told Honglu The temple and the Ministry of Rites reported that the mission stopped in Chenzhou for a while." She paused and said, "My lord, to tell you the truth, this logo has a lot to do with Xirong."

Jin Huan looked at her strangely, then looked at Yuan Sui, and said slowly: "You suspect that the Xirong people are lurking here to make trouble? No wonder you two are flickering in your words and refuse to make a decision easily. Anyway, this matter is of great importance, indeed. You can’t just say it, if there is no real evidence, the court may not be able to convince the public. But it’s also a coincidence, I also discovered one thing, now it seems that it seems to be on the right track.”

She took out a roll of blueprints from the box and spread them out, pointing to a place and said, "If my guess is correct, this is where the waters of the three rivers converge after the breach. Please take a look, both of you."

Yuan Suidao: "It's where the Seventh Army is stationed."

After the war, Yunzhou rested, and the Seventh Army of Yunce Army retreated back to Chenzhou. The Seventh Army also took charge of coastal defense. For this reason, it was the first army to withdraw from the front line.

Jin Huan clapped her hands and said, "It's exactly here. If it's as the two of you said, then it seems that there are many anomalies in the river this time, and it seems that it can be explained."

Xirong Laowo and even the royal court were taken over by Zhou Gan, and Erlan grassland, which had been away for a hundred years, returned to the territory of Dai Kingdom.It is natural for the remnants of the Xirong Party to have revenge in their hearts. The Ministry of War also thought this way and did not let down their vigilance. The gates of each state strictly verified the identity documents of the passers-by.

Qingping glanced at the book, Yuan Sui just said that the key to the Chenzhou case is all tied to this book.

In the final analysis, it still has something to do with this book. What is the identity of the person who wrote the book, and what is the relationship with the old events of a hundred years ago?

Based on the cloud, does the city hanging in the sky really exist?

Yuan Sui closed the book seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Exactly."

Jin Huan pondered for a long time, and said: "If there is really a remnant of the Xirong Party making trouble in Chenzhou, I would like to ask Mr. Yuan to submit the papers earlier."

After Jin Huan left, Qing Ping said: "Why did Master Yuan hide so much from Master Jin and didn't say what he said?"

Yuan Sui said: "Isn't Master Li the same?"

Qing Ping said with a smile: "Before there is no solid evidence, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better."

Yuan Sui nodded and said: "That's right, although the attendant is a member of the Ministry of Industry, but everything is hard to say, above the court, I don't know how many adults will be from 'It'."

Qing Ping said: "It's much easier to decide this case with the remaining party of the Western Rong, but it's still too light for the crime of rioting."

Yuan Sui handed her a stack of paper, and said: "'It' has been arranged for many years, if you just want to make Chenzhou mess up, you don't need to make such painstaking efforts. Master Li might as well take a look at this."

Qing Ping quickly flipped through the pages, wondering: "Is this a manuscript?"

Yuan Suidao: "A woman surnamed Wu came to report the case and presented these things."

"Is it Wu Yue?" Qing Ping turned over and said, "She and I are old acquaintances."

Yuan Sui smiled and said, "Master Li didn't avoid suspicion, he just said that."

Qing Ping said casually: "Wouldn't it be more clean and neat to avoid this case together..." She suddenly raised her head and said, "Who wrote this thing? Master Yuan, did you find Mo Heng?"

Yuan Suidao: "Exactly, Master Li, Mo Heng's name is Wu Yi, and she comes from the Wu family in Hezhou. She used to work in Chenzhou, but was dismissed because of the Hongbo Rebellion."

Qingping said solemnly: "Now all our inferences have no real evidence. It is really hard to convince with the blueprints of Mr. Jin and the stories written by these predecessors. What's more, the things in it are too bizarre and cumbersome. A hundred years have passed in the middle, and many files have been incomplete. There are many cases involved here, Mr. Yuan, with your and my strength, it is like a drop in the bucket, it is really too difficult."

Yuan Sui looked at her and said: "No matter how difficult it is, someone needs to do it. A glass of water, as long as it is fast enough and diligent enough, it can still save people. The things in this world are probably the same, and so are the people in this world. Everyone So, what country are we talking about?"

"What's more, Mr. Li just persuaded me to retreat, but he himself has no intention of retreating. What's the reason?" Yuan's entourage took back the stack of papers from her hand: "It is commendable to be alone, but Mr. Li is not. You don’t have to be alone.”

Qing Ping couldn't help laughing, and said: "Master Yuan can see the ambition in my heart? I'm really ashamed. Since Master Yuan has such a powerful ability to read minds, why don't you come with me to identify a few masters and see What are they thinking in their hearts?"

As the heavy cell door was pushed open, the mice that had been clinging to the corner for food disappeared in the darkness in an instant, and the fire illuminated the wet ground. The prisoners who were locked in the cell opened their eyes and climbed to the railing Calling and cursing.

A person on the right scolded: "How dare you lock me up! Do you know who I am! Look at Zhaoye, who doesn't know me!"

Another person cried: "My lord, the younger one is just a buddy, a good citizen who keeps his own place and has never committed a crime. My lord, I am wronged..."

The prison chief was eager to lead the way for Shan Le, and when he saw this, he shouted: "Presumptuous, shut up!"

Shan Le's face was frosty, and he strode to the innermost room. The layout of the prison was very neat, and there were tables, dishes, candlesticks, and a stack of new quilts on the bed, which was particularly conspicuous. , the cell boss felt guilty in the end, and said: "My lord, there is nothing I can do about it..."

One person sat at the end of the bed, holding a book and immersed in it.She was dressed in a white robe, her posture was leisurely and leisurely, and she was not disturbed by the outside world at all.

The cell head was unlocked, Shan Le stepped in with a flick of his robe, and said, "Master."

The man didn't even look at her, he just said: "What's the matter."

Shan Le frowned, and said: "Master, I will ask you again, you and that carver Zheng Hehui are old acquaintances."

Master Guo patted his robe, and said leisurely: "Your Excellency is really difficult for others. There are thousands of carvers in Zhaoye. How can I have time to write down them one by one?"

Shan Le said coldly: "Zheng Hehui has already identified you, and it was you who sold her the special sesame oil for her to embalm her body."

Master Guo put down the book in his hand, sighed softly, and said, "My lord, I'm just the little master of the temple. I spend all day in the courtyard taking care of the internal affairs. How can I have time to do anything with this murderous carver?" The transaction... There is still a couplet written by Mr. Zhou in our temple, I really don't know what she will think if she sees this scene."

Shan Le was unmoved, and said: "Before the case was found out, the principal was wronged and stayed in prison for a few more days. Anyway, there are people serving here, so what's the difference between inside and outside?"

"You!" Mr. Guo said angrily, "It's really a big tone, but from the fifth rank's small punishment, you really think of yourself as something!"

Shan Le glanced at her, turned and left, after a while, a man came out from the darkness and stood quietly outside the prison door.

Master Guo was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, he couldn't help touching under the quilt, the man said something in a low voice, Master Guo froze and his face turned pale.

Although her voice is not loud, it can be heard clearly by those around her.She seemed to be saying something quickly, the language was too weird, but it was unheard of.

Master Guo approached the door with a candlestick. At this time, she was no longer as comfortable as she was confronting Shan Le just now, and her expression was very nervous.The flame illuminated the man's face, and the light-colored eyes reflected the faint candlelight, but they were as clear and translucent as glass, shining brightly in the dark.

Master Guo suffocated for breath, swallowed hard, and wanted to get closer.But that person took a step back and stood outside the range of the fire, her face soaked in the darkness. She was silent for a long time before she spoke a word.

And after these words, the man melted into the darkness, skimmed the ground lightly, and disappeared into the prison.The master's face changed slightly, and she didn't even notice that the corner of her robe was rubbing against the ground. She put down the candlestick, recalled what the man said just now, and fell into deep thought.

Qing Ping came out of the prison, took off the cloak on his body and handed it to his followers, and said to Yuan Sui, "Master Yuan, can you pay more attention just now?"

Yuan Sui held a portrait in his hand, glanced at her and said, "It's okay."

Qingping couldn't help laughing, and said, "Is it really similar?"

After careful comparison, Yuan Sui said: "In fact, the eyes and ears are not very similar, and the eyebrows are not the same. They still look somewhat similar at a rough glance."

"It's thanks to my face." Qingping touched his face, and stood beside Yuan Sui to look at the old portrait. The person in the painting is wearing a crown, riding a huge white wolf, carrying a bow|arrow , very heroic.The painter's skills are not superb, but they vividly show the charm of the people in the painting.

Yuan Sui gestured while watching: "This person is a little taller than Mr. Li, and his frame is much taller than ordinary people. He is not from Chenzhou."

Seeing her comparing constantly, Qingping couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty Yuan, you'd better think about it, I can't draw this bow."

Sure enough, Yuan Sui took the picture scroll and handed it over to the police as evidence to keep it away.Shan Le has been watching from the side, saluted and said: "I have the guts to ask Mr. Li, what did you say to those people just now when you were in prison?"

Qing Ping glanced at Yuan Sui, seeing that she had no objection, he said, "The last sentence I just said was—"

"'There are ghosts among you'."
