Chapter 202 The mystery of the fourth prince
She escaped for more than ten steps, but she didn't feel that Gu Liubai was catching up with him.
She was a little surprised, and when she turned around, she found that Gu Liubai had a wink at her.
She and Gu Liubai had a tacit understanding when they were in Heishawa. At this moment, she knew that someone must have come to Gu Liubai, but she didn't seem to want her to be present.
When she moved her heart, she had already figured out what was going on. She didn't stop and left the West Market and headed towards Yankangfang.
Gu Liubai remained silent, as if nothing had happened, walked into a street on the side, and then slowly entered a few shops, walked through a tea shop, entered the alley through the door of the backyard, and entered the side door of the shop.
This shop sells a variety of spices.
Gu Liubai didn't have to look at it. Just smelling the fragrance, you would know that the spices in this shop are of great value, and many of them are actually from overseas.
A middle-aged man in the yard wore a high hat and a big beard. His outfit and appearance were obviously Sogdian.
He bowed to Gu Liubai with a solemn look on his face, turned around and walked into a room behind him.
Gu Liubai followed in.
This is a tea room with thick walls and the inner partition is completely arranged in the practice quiet room. As soon as you walk into this tea room, the sounds outside are obviously isolated, very quiet.
“You should know who I am?”
The Sogdian immediately started making tea and asked tentatively.
Gu Liubai was once the most outstanding border army secret stake, Xishi, spice, and these two keywords appeared in his mind, and a name on the list of Uighur Goddess appeared in his mind, "Wei Qihan?"
The Sogdian's expression became even more solemn. He understood completely in his heart that Zhou Lingyu's judgment was not wrong at all. The goddess had indeed informed the young man of all the Uighurs secret falcons in Chang'an.
"Yes." He replied seriously immediately.
"I don't know you are Sogdian." Gu Liubai smiled slightly, "You don't have any Sogdian flavor in Chang'an words."
Wei Qihan explained: "My father settled in Chang'an when he was seventeen years old. My mother is from Guiyifang, Chang'an. I grew up in Chang'an since I was a child, so I can only be considered half a Sogdian."
Gu Liubai said curiously, "How did the Sogdians become Uighur's dark falcon?"
Wei Qihan answered questions and answered very seriously, as if he completely regarded Gu Liubai as his boss. "Sometimes it was not whether he wanted to do it or not, but because of the situation. My father and I were just serious businessmen, and he was safe and safe without any storm. But in the early years, a batch of goods annoyed a nobleman and eventually got jailed. If it weren't for the rescue of Zhou Mi's spy at that time, I might have died in prison. Later, in order to save the business at home, I had to repay favors, so I fell into it."
Gu Liubai smiled faintly, "It sounds helpless."
"Yes." Wei Qihan didn't have the intention of joking. He touched his beard and felt a little indescribable, "If I could live a peaceful life in Chang'an like my father, who would want to set foot in such an assassination scene, and who would want to live a nervous life?"
"Is Zhou Lingyu asking you to find me?" Gu Liubai was not interested in discussing with this Uighur secret spy about whether there is a choice in life, and he returned to the topic.
Wei Qishi nodded and said seriously: "After she met you that night, we closed the line. Some Uighurs may know or find out the hidden line, and all the secret lines have been silenced. There are a total of sixteen people. I will tell you the list later."
Gu Liubai nodded without commenting.
Wei Qishi continued: "The people from the third prince originally had two prisoners, and wanted to frame you for a crime of connecting us."
As soon as he said this, Gu Liubai couldn't help but laugh.
The third prince was a coincidence and wanted to frame him for communicating with the Uighurs, but the third prince probably didn't expect that there was such a thing.
Wei Qishi was serious, not laughing at all, and said in a deep voice as if he was reporting to his superiors: "Zhou Sishou used two students of Yuan, and returned it on the grounds that there was not enough evidence and he would never be able to kill you."
When Gu Liubai heard the three words Zhou Sishou, he asked, "When Zhou Lingyu saved you, he was still an ordinary secret spy, and now he has become your Sishou?"
Wei Qishi nodded and said solemnly, "Her identity as a leader is top secret, plus you and me, only Wei Liangshou in Chang'an City knows."
"The Right Chief of the Shangshu?" Gu Liubai had a deep memory of Wei Liangshou on the list.
In the entire list, except for Zhou Lingyu, who cannot be directly measured by his official rank, Wei Liangshou, the right chief of Shangshu, is among the highest official rank.
Wei Qishi nodded. He hesitated for a moment and said the truth: "If the leader of Zhou Si was not secretly exerted his efforts, Wei Liangshou would not be able to sit in his current position."
Gu Liubai just nodded and signaled Wei Qishi to continue.
Wei Qishi took out a small sheepskin roll from his sleeve and spread it directly in front of Gu Liubai, saying, "This is a secret word for contacting some of the secret spies in the city. It will be replaced every ten days. Before each change, I will hand you the new secret word in advance. If something happens to me, if you don't look for Zhou Sishou, Zhou Sishou should also look for you."
"Okay." Gu Liubai was not polite and accepted it all as required.
Wei Qishi continued, "Zhou Sishou asked me to tell you that the goddess had taken the initiative to contact her, but the goddess' letter did not mention what the mission was going to Chang'an to do, and her letter did not mention her own situation. Instead, she asked her to pay attention to the whereabouts of the four-eared demon cat."
"Four-eared demon cat?"
Gu Liubai was a little surprised. He frowned slightly and said, "Then you will send me a copy of your information about the Four-Ear Demon Cat."
Wei Qi said: "Cui Baita of Cui has entered the sword washing pond of Canglang Sword Sect."
Gu Liubai nodded.
This is not a new secret.
Wei Qishi continued: "The Zhang family of Wujun may bet on the third prince and sent a famous sword "Divine Gold" to Canglang Sword Sect."
Gu Liubai immediately sneered, feeling very bad.
It is very difficult to deal with just one Cui Baita. Now another top clan emerges. The name of the "Dianjin" sword is ordinary, but not only is the sword body extremely sharp, but the sword energy of the Dijin sword also breaks through other people's sword energy.
If two people with equal cultivation level fight, it is equivalent to people holding the Golden Sword holding to attack the opponent with their sword energy, but the opponent has to get close.
Fortunately, he is good at getting close.
After Wei Qishi said this, he felt relieved and said, "Today's report is over."
"That's my turn."
Gu Liubai poured out some tea directly, dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote several names on the table, "These are all practitioners of Cui's family in Chang'an City. I need to know their specific whereabouts and as soon as possible."
He is not the one who helps people work for nothing.
Since Zhou Lingyu used him as the protective umbrella of the Uighur Spy Department, he could not bear the reputation of communicating with foreign enemies for nothing, at least let these people help him work.
The fifth prince's men were originally helping him investigate, and with these Uighur spies, it is estimated that the whereabouts of these Cui cultivators will be quickly collected.
Obviously, Zhou Lingyu had already told Wei Qishi. Wei Qishi had nothing to say. He just stared at the names and confirmed that he had remembered them firmly. He wiped the tea with one hand and said seriously: "I understand."
"Notify Wei Liangshou and come to see me when it's appropriate. I have something to talk to him." Gu Liubai continued to give orders without any nonsense.
"Okay." Wei Qishi responded very simply.
Gu Liubai continued: "Help me find out two more things. After the emperor killed the fourth prince, what kind of thing did he want to lead. Also, Xie Wan was able to set up a situation like Heishawa. There should be many officials involved in it, so they all helped me find out as much as possible."
"Whether there is any hidden secret or major layout behind the emperor's killing of the fourth prince, not only us, but even Yuan is investigating it, but there is no clue." Wei Qishi said seriously, "This matter will probably be difficult to find out for a while. As for the people involved in Xie Wan, some of them should be found."
Gu Liubai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know that there are monks with the Depravity View in the Palace?"
Wei Qishi was surprised and said, "We don't know this."
Gu Liubai said, "Then tell Zhou Sishou that there are very likely two monks in the palace with the Depravity Concept. One should be the elders of the Depravity Concept, and the other should be the Depravity Concept Yin Daozi, let her check it out for me."
"I understand." Wei Qishi took a deep breath and agreed.
...
In the bleak Sixth Prince's bedroom, the Sixth Prince looked at the palace maid standing on his head in surprise.
"Are you sure the news is correct?"
"Confirm." The palace maid said neither humble nor arrogantly.
The sixth prince took a deep breath and pondered: "You can pass this news to my fifth brother first. If he and the green eyes have any speculation, you can also repay me as soon as possible."
"Okay." The palace maid bowed and left very simply.
Looking at the back of the palace maid, the Sixth Prince was silent, but his face was gloomy and sunny.
The people that Princess Anxing left him were very reliable, so that he could do what he wanted to do according to his own ideas and guesses without leaving the temple.
Why was the emperor so anxious to kill the Fourth Prince? What is his layout behind it? This is not only a problem that bothers Gu Liubai and the fifth prince, but also a problem that has always troubled him.
Those families in Chang'an are also investigating.
But I really can't find any clues.
But as an object that the fifth prince admires, the sixth prince’s ideas are indeed much broader than those of ordinary people.
He thought of asking Princess Anxing to carefully investigate the bodies of the fourth prince and the officials responsible for the funeral of the fourth prince, and all the people in charge of the fourth prince's funeral, to see if there would be any clues worth pondering.
Just today, an extremely amazing discovery was made.
A coffin carryr felt that the weight was a bit wrong.
Based on his experience, according to the figure of the fourth prince, his daily weight was obviously lighter.
This means that the body has been transferred.
What was put in was a corpse with a body that was much lighter than the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince is undoubtedly dead.
A lot of evidence can be confirmed.
But why should he transfer his body?
