Chapter 523: After a night, it feels even more sour
Yu Lingye nodded: "He can."
"He will send someone to test Qing Huang."
"The methods of testing are nothing more than bribery, assassination, poisoning, honey traps, etc. Qing Huang should have experienced them all."
Xie Yingmian sighed, "No wonder Qing Huang felt a faint sense of doom when she thought about returning to the Fan family. It turns out she was fed up with being tortured by those people."
"It's my fault too. I didn't think it through."
Yu Lingye smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself."
"When Qing Huang followed Fan Jingzhou back to the Fan family, I had already communicated with him and told him how to break the impasse."
Xie Yingmian: "Oh?"
Yu Lingye: "When you introduced the Blue Phoenix to the Emperor, you mentioned that the Blue Phoenix is mechanical on the inside, but covered in a layer of human skin. Human skin has a short shelf life and needs to be replaced every five years."
Xie Yingmian: I think I have made up this story before.
Yu Lingye: "Qing Huang and I took advantage of this."
"When the assassin sent by the emperor arrives, Qing Huang will inadvertently expose the metal parts under his skin."
"Qing Huang rebuked them for damaging the perfect human skin he had worked so hard to find, and inadvertently revealed how he skinned and killed people."
"Through this method, we let the emperor deduce on his own that Qing Huang skinned the man who was suspected to be Fan Jingzhou's biological son."
"The emperor is naturally suspicious, dark-minded, and conceited. He will believe what he infers, so he is very willing to see Fan Jingzhou being kept in the dark and accepting his enemy as his son."
"So far, it seems the emperor has believed it."
"The second branch of the Fan family allowed Qing Huang to be included in the Fan family tree. It was most likely the emperor's instruction. They are waiting to see Fan Jingzhou's joke."
Xie Yingmian was stunned when he heard this.
When masters fight, the winner can be decided without shedding blood. The ancients were right.
Yu Lingye and Qing Huang are the ones who quietly accomplish great things.
Xie Yingmian sighed, "I can finally empathize with my senior brother."
Staying with this group of smart people for a long time will not make her smarter, it will only make her look dumber.
Yu Lingye smiled softly.
The screens on the carriage were open.
Xie Yingmian leaned on the backrest of the carriage, just able to see the street view.
The long street looks like an inverted galaxy, with thousands of lanterns hanging from the eaves.
The candlelight floats in the hazy night, forming a flowing river of light.
The lights intertwined, and when the wind blew, it seemed as if the stars in the sky were scattered to the ground.
Xie Yingmian couldn't help but admire: "Aye, look outside."
"The colorful lanterns are like the upside-down Milky Way in the sky, the lights are the flowing water, and the colorful lanterns are the stars that embellish the Milky Way."
"The Milky Way continues to spread across the streets and alleys, dotted with stars, with sparkling lights and shadows, it's so beautiful."
"It's a shame I don't have enough words to describe this more beautifully."
As Xie Yingmian said this, the horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs, bringing up gusts of wind.
The night wind startled the waves of lights and also disturbed the flags entangled with the colorful lamp tassels.
After the carriage passed, the wind gradually died down.
The waves of light slowly sank back into the darkness, leaving only a series of erratic shadows.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Yu Lingye's mind: "What did you just say?"
Xie Yingmian: "I said that the colorful lanterns gathered together look like a galaxy."
Yu Lingye: "That's not it."
Xie Yingmian paused for a moment and asked, "What about the sentence 'Lights are flowing water, and colorful lanterns are dotted stars'?"
"Yes, that's it." Yu Lingye's eyes were bright. "Yingmian, I... seem to know what we overlooked."
"Um?"
Yu Lingye said in a deep voice: "I am the one who is in charge and I am confused. I am influenced by the stereotype."
"My initial thought was that someone was burning something, and the smoke was spreading through the sewer system all over Shangjing."
"What you just said reminded me."
"Smoke doesn't necessarily have to be burned; fog can also form on water."
"If you add something to the sewage in the sewer, it will fog up the water and naturally leave no trace."
Xie Yingmian narrowed his eyes: "You mean, the truth is in the water?"
Yu Lingye said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after investigating."
After returning to Prince Ling’s Mansion.
Yu Lingye immediately ordered people to collect water samples from sewers across Shangjing.
There are countless filth mixed in the sewage.
The stench was terrible, and the water sample also stank.
It is not easy to analyze certain components from these water samples.
But, Xie Ying sleeps for years.
The existence of Suisui is equivalent to a huge bug.
Sui Sui was very resistant.
Which good person wants to analyze sewage?
It would be fine if it only had one basin, but it needs to analyze more than ten basins of sewage one by one. How can people do that?
Rejected every year.
Xie Yingmian used his trump card—calling Sui Sui "brother".
Suisui immediately changed his mind.
Even though it's disgusting, my sister calls it brother!
It can endure it for the sake of being called brother.
Sui Sui analyzed all the sewage while retching.
"I was seriously injured by the sewage. Ugh, I'm going to check on my nine male models. Don't call me if there's nothing else. Ugh..."
He escapes year after year, leaning against the wall.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye looked at the sewage composition given by Sui Sui and looked at each other in surprise.
The composition of sewage is very complex.
In addition to human and animal excrement, there are also corpses of various animals, various rotten vegetables, and all kinds of messy debris.
These things come together and ferment very easily in this kind of weather.
Other substances are formed after fermentation.
Countless substances are mixed together, making it difficult to find useful information.
"I won't look at it for now." Xie Yingmian was dizzy from the smell of the beggars during the day, and was sickened by the smell of sewage at night.
I'll throw up my dinner if I keep reading this.
"Tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." Xie Yingmian closed the doors and windows with a snap.
Fu Mo looked at the yard full of stinky water basins with a very complicated expression.
"Last time, the princess was cooking shit in the kitchen."
"This time, the princess is laying out her shit in the courtyard. Is this a popular habit in the capital?"
Fu Feng: Be careful or the princess will beat you.
Fu Mo: "Fu Feng, have the prince and princess told you how to deal with these things?"
Fu Feng shook his head.
Fu Mo was in a dilemma.
Generally speaking, as long as the prince and princess close the windows and doors, it means that they want to enjoy their own world.
Experience told him that he must not disturb them at this time.
Otherwise, he would die a miserable death.
Fu Mo said, "How about moving it to the side?"
Fu Feng: "We need to add another layer of lid, no, we need to add two layers of lid."
The temperature at night is not too high, but not too low either.
After a night of fermentation, the smell of sewage became stronger, and even adding two layers of cover could not prevent the odor from leaking out.
Xie Yingmian was caught in the smoke as soon as she went out.
She immediately closed the door, turned to Yu Lingye and said, "It's bad, it's bad."
"I forgot to tell them to dump the sewage yesterday, so they dumped it against the wall. After fermenting overnight, the dozen or so basins of sewage now smell incredibly sour."
Yu Lingye: ...
He smelled it and didn't want the yard anymore.
"Fu Mo, get someone to pour it out quickly." Yu Lingye said.
The servants had had enough, and after receiving orders from their masters, they carried away the sewage as quickly as possible.
A quarter of an hour later, Fu Mo's noisy voice was heard.
"Prince and Princess."
"Something terrible is happening!"
