"After Xue Zongwu's death, Qingyang, Chongwu, and He Xiao have all been extremely busy." Bai Ziqi pondered, "Besides, who is the beneficiary of Xue Zongwu's death?"
The servant boy immediately replied: "Qingyang State...Regent."
Bai Qi said, "It seems like He Xiao is living a better life."
"On the surface, Qingyang gained short-term benefits and was able to gain an advantage over King Yao; but after He Xiao gave King Yao some advice, the situation quickly reversed." Bai Ziqi took another sip of tea. "Whether it's Youhu Villa or the eastward expansion of the capital, do you think these two plans were thought up on the spur of the moment?"
The two followers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Without understanding every aspect of Tianshui City, how can we propose these plans in accordance with local conditions and circumstances?
Without understanding the situation and struggles in the court, how could He Xiao help King Yao successfully fight back against Qingyang?
"This is all a deliberate plan." Bai Ziqi murmured, "He Xiao has a deep understanding of Tianshui City and the rulers and ministers of Yao Kingdom, but on the surface, this is his first time entering Tianshui City."
He took a deep breath.
The evening breeze brought the refreshing fragrance of Epiphyllum, but Bai Ziqi smelled a hint of conspiracy and ill intention.
It was hidden very deeply, but he still noticed it.
Is there any connection between He Xiao and the Nine Nether Emperor? Bai Ziqi has not yet pieced together direct evidence, but since he set foot on the Shining Gold Plain and heard He Xiao's name, he has been concerned about this person in his heart.
I couldn't really explain why, and I could only attribute it to my spiritual perception that had been trained over the years.
But Bai Ziqi now understood that this was because he subconsciously discovered that he had made a mistake.
When He Xiao was in Beijia, Bai Ziqi not only investigated him, but also walked with him all the way from Chiyan to Lingxu City. At that time, he commented on this young man as being smart, righteous, fearless, daring, and quite intelligent. If he had not died in Lingxu City, he would have become a great man in the future.
This time when he came to the Shining Gold Plain and looked into He Xiao's actions, Bai Ziqi realized that his previous judgment was biased.
This guy is clearly a man of deep thoughts, and he makes plans before taking action.
In the past in Beiga, He Xiao's appearance in front of him, and even in front of Fu Shanyue, was probably all pretended.
Thinking of this, Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just then another evening breeze blew by, and the night-blooming cereus bloomed even more vigorously.
Wait! Thinking back, why did I meet He Xiao in Chiyan Country? At that time, he was investigating the unusual movements of the Dafang Pot!
He Xiao and Fu Shanyue happened to be within the scope of the investigation. However, Bai Ziqi himself was involved in the immortality drug case and had to take over.
After returning to Lingxu City, he was still somewhat suspicious of He Xiao, so Miaozhan used the Eye of Truth on He Xiao.
After He Xiao successfully passed the goddess's test, Bai Ziqi had to suppress his doubts about him. After all, he could not question the fairness of the goddess's judgment.
This time he came to the Shining Gold Plain to investigate Emperor Jiuyou.
The relationship between Emperor Jiuyou, the black dragon, and the Dafang Pot is the focus of the gods' attention.
But He Xiao appeared in his sight again and walked into his investigation range again.
Once his target is related to the Dafanghu, he will be able to meet He Xiao again even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Pengguo, Baimao Mountain, Shizhoutou, Liuping, Mangzhou and Zhuowei... He followed the clues of Emperor Jiuyou and Zhenren Qianhuan to these places, but he could hear news about He Xiao and Yangshan Islands everywhere.
At this moment, a blue goose landed on the window sill of the inn and spoke in human language: "Baidu Envoy!"
The servant boy walked over, fed it a pill, and then took a small bamboo tube the length of a little finger from its mouth.
The bamboo tube was very thin, but the silk pulled out from it was very long and continuous, as thin as a feather. When unfolded, it was actually one square foot in size, with many small words on it.
The servant boy unfolded it and took a closer look, then handed it to Bai Ziqi: "My Lord, this is the description of the forces near the last few black dragon marks."
When searching for clues about the Nine Nether Emperor in Peng State, Bai Ziqi asked people to collect information, centering on the dozen or so black dragon marks, and to investigate all official and unofficial, armed and unarmed forces within a day's journey.
This was no easy task. Bai Ziqi mobilized Bega's power on the Shining Golden Plains and even had his men visit many wild gods before he could slowly advance the investigation.
Investigation and handling of cases are very unpleasant most of the time. They are time-consuming, labor-intensive and often produce no results.
Even with the efficiency of Bai Ziqi and his group, it still took a long time to collect and piece together the information bit by bit.
"Let me see." Bai Ziqi took it and glanced at it, and by the way, he took out the previous information and put it on the table for comparison.
Are there any overlaps?
Of course there is.
The names of certain forces will appear once or twice in several intelligence reports. Is there any force that appears near all 18 locations?
No.
Bai Ziqi looked at it carefully for a long time and eliminated them one by one manually.
Cross out local forces with bad reputations.
Bandits’ lair, crossed out.
In the end, apart from the wealthy and powerful landowners, most of those who were able to stay were chambers of commerce.
"There are only three pieces of information mentioning Changlong Wuxing and Yangshan Chamber of Commerce?" This frequency is completely reasonable. After all, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is doing a booming business in the western and central parts of Shanjin, with branches everywhere.
Bai Qi said from the side: "This Doctor Li has also appeared twice. He himself leads an army of rebels and has several manors of his own."
"It's not him." Bai Ziqi waved his hand, "The Nine Nether Emperor would not come to the stage on his own."
"It's very well hidden. Some of the organizations on this list must be controlled by the Nine Nether Emperor as a cover for their actions." On the surface, there was nothing unusual. "Not only can he consider such details, but he can also do it. In other words, he has penetrated deeply into the Golden Plains, and there is nothing he can't do. This is terrifying."
The chaos in the Shining Gold Plains and the independence of local forces are the best cover for Emperor Jiuyou.
That's why Bai Ziqi put the focus of the investigation on Xiaotao Villa. The environment inside Yao Country is very different from the outside plains, and he hopes to clarify the clues and find a breakthrough here.
Now there were two pieces of cloth in front of him, and the blood words on them had turned black.
One reads "Deserve to Die";
The other one had more words on it, "The crimes are so heinous that they cannot be described in words! Justice is clear, and retribution will come!"
These were the verdicts that the Great Emperor Jiuyou left for Qi Yunsheng and Xue Zongwu respectively, and they were hung next to their heads at the time.
Bai Ziqi looked at the two pieces of blood-stained cloth and fell into deep thought, not noticing the passage of time.
Outside the window, the fragrance of the nightshade is strong.
His attitude simply meant that he didn't want to be disturbed. The servant boy stood beside him with his hands clasped in silence, even his breathing had to be light, and he didn't dare to come forward to pour tea or water.
