Chapter 169 Is it too coincidental?
When Jiang Yunxi went downstairs, he saw Liu Qingbai sitting at a table near the window. He was sitting upright, dressed in a white robe that was as white as snow, and looked spotless.
She walked towards him.
From his facial features and the reading of his palm last time, she couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with him at the moment. She only knew that he couldn't keep his original intention and would definitely make a big mistake in the future.
"Mr. Liu."
"Miss Jiang." Liu Qingbai stood up quickly.
"Let's go together?"
"good."
The four of them quickly left Huangquan, with Jiang Shixue and Hu Xinghua walking behind them.
"What medicinal herbs do you want?" Jiang Yunxi asked casually.
"Red Blood Ginseng." Liu Qingbai said.
This was the first time Jiang Yunxi had heard of this. "What disease does this herb treat?"
Liu Qingbai smiled gently, "This isn't for curing illnesses, it's for replenishing the body. My master doesn't know how long he'll be in seclusion, so I'll find it first and give it to him when the time comes."
"You have a good relationship with the National Master?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile. She was actually quite interested in this National Master. He must be a very powerful person in the Xuanmen.
"He is my master and like a father to me." Liu Qingbai's face was full of admiration.
"I must meet your master if I have the chance." Jiang Yunxi smiled.
Liu Qingbai looked at her and said, "When he comes out of seclusion, I tell you, Master will definitely be very interested in you. He likes people from the Xuanmen with good talents."
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "Okay."
"By the way, why were you looking for that thing before?" Liu Qingbai asked.
"The daughter of the Minister of Revenue was murdered the night before yesterday, and the skin on her face was peeled off. More than a dozen female corpses were also found in the former Prince Yu Nan's residence, their faces also peeled off."
There was a chilling coldness in Jiang Yunxi's eyes. Why were all the women suffering?
"Such a cruel thing actually happened. The person who did it is so vicious." Liu Qingbai said in a deep voice with an expressionless face and full of anger.
"They are indeed cruel, and they are all young women." Jiang Yunxi's eyes were full of murderous intent when he thought of the pain they suffered before their death.
Although she had argued with Yu Qingwan, she didn't want her to die tragically like that.
She brought disaster upon herself with her words, but the crime was not punishable by death.
"What does the murderer want to do? He actually picked all the young women." Liu Qingbai's face was full of indignation.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him. The expression on his face didn't seem like an act. He was really angry for the dead women. What happened to her?
You actually suspect that Liu Qingbai is involved in this incident?
But she could see no cause and effect in him.
"Mr. Liu, do you still remember what I gave you last time?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a faint smile.
"Only by keeping your original aspiration in mind can you achieve your goal." Liu Qingbai said it without hesitation. He remembered this sentence clearly.
Jiang Yunxi: "Just remember it. I hope you will always remember it."
When she first met him, she had a good impression of him. She really didn't want him to be someone she suspected, and she didn't want him to go astray.
The four of them left the black market together.
Jiang Yunxi took Jiang Shixue and Hu Xinghua away.
Liu Qingbai stood there looking at Jiang Yunxi's back until her figure disappeared, then he turned and left in another direction.
…
At nightfall.
Zhan Beiyuan arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. He was here to pick up Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Yunxi had been waiting for him for a long time. When she saw him coming, she quickly got on the carriage and told him about her trip to the black market and the Huangquan Shop during the day.
"You went to Huangquan Shop?" Zhan Beiyuan didn't expect her to go there.
"Well, there's a cream out there that's odorless but can mask the smell. I suspect the corpses were all coated with that stuff, so there's no smell."
Jiang Yunxi planned to touch the corpses later.
"It seems that the murderer bought that kind of ointment from the underworld." Zhan Beiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The matter of the corpse in the former Prince Yu Nan's mansion had already alarmed the emperor.
The emperor ordered that the Jingzhao Yinfu and the Dali Temple investigate the matter at the same time and make sure to get to the bottom of it before the end of the year so as not to affect New Year's Eve.
When he thought of New Year's Eve, his heart sank.
If Jiang Yunxi cannot extend her life, she will die after New Year's Eve.
"It should be. What is the origin of this Huangquan Shop? It looks quite mysterious, and there are many things from foreign races." Jiang Yunxi looked at him and asked.
Zhan Beiyuan said seriously, "The boss of Huangquan is not from Tenglong Country, but from the Southern Barbarians. As for who he is, I have never seen him before."
"Why can the people from the Southern Barbarians open shops in the black market? I think there are a lot of things in the underworld." Jiang Yunxi said thoughtfully.
"This is allowed by the royal family. Back then, the Southern Barbarians helped the Tenglong Kingdom, and later the royal family allowed the Southern Barbarians to open shops in the capital." Zhan Beiyuan said lightly.
"So that's how it is. I said Huang Quan must have a backer, but I didn't expect it to be from the royal family." Jiang Yunxi curled her red lips and smiled.
"I've been there before, and it does look a bit strange."
"It's just a trick. There's no real ghost anyway."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The carriage soon arrived at the former Prince Yu Nan's Mansion.
at this time.
Torches were burning at the gate of the palace, and guards were guarding the gate. The courtyard was also brightly lit, and guards were patrolling back and forth.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan walked in together. The night wind was a little cool.
The two arrived at the yard they had visited during the day.
More than a dozen bodies remained lying there without moving.
Jiang Yunxi quickly walked forward and reached out to touch the corpse. Although a long time had passed, she still felt a familiar feeling.
They were indeed smeared with that kind of ointment, so there was no smell when their bodies rotted.
"It's a paste." Jiang Yunxi stood up and said. It seems that as long as they know who bought the paste, they can narrow the scope and check one by one.
"I will go to Huangquan with you tomorrow." Zhan Beiyuan said coldly. He wanted to see what the other party wanted in order to reveal the customer list.
"Okay, by the way, I met Liu Qingbai in Huangquan." Jiang Yunxi hadn't told him before.
Zhan Beiyuan's face darkened, "Why is he there?"
Jiang Yunxi told him the reason.
"Is it a coincidence that you ran into him there?" Zhan Beiyuan became suspicious.
"Is it just a coincidence? We'll know later. I can't see the cause and effect on him right now, so I can't be sure if he was involved, but I reminded him today."
"I hope he can really understand what that means." Jiang Yunxi said in a deep voice. She didn't want him to do anything unforgivable.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
She still values Liu Qingbai so much.
Jiang Yunxi did not leave immediately, but made a gesture. There was no soul here, not even other souls.
I guess the souls of the corpses on the ground have disappeared long ago.
Either they went to the underworld, were destroyed, or were imprisoned.
"Where is Yu Qingwan's body?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"The coroner came to check and said that the Yu family has taken the body back. They said that it will be buried according to normal procedures." Zhan Beiyuan was in Jingzhao Yin Mansion in the afternoon, so he naturally knew about this.
Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's go to the Yu family right now."
She wanted to confirm something.
