Chapter 1023: The Unexpected Person
Xiao Yibai returned to the room and saw his younger brother's nervous expression. He just smiled and shook his head to relieve him. Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment and leaned weakly on the bed and rubbed his forehead that was painful.
"Don't eat randomly." Xiao Yibai joked, eased the atmosphere, "Destroyed the mechanical phoenix bird, defeated the pure blood Xinmo, and was finally knocked down by a few mushrooms. Fortunately, Yun Xiao did this matter, but if someone else had to arrest him and interrogate him, what's the purpose."
Xiao Qianye seemed to be distracted for a moment and heard a sigh that was almost inaudible in his ears: "Don't worry, she is much stronger than you think."
Strong... These two words are like sharp arrows in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter has nothing to do with her, and I don't want to get her in anymore. This is the dereliction of duty of the Three Pavilions, so those who are interested can take advantage of the situation. Five Rats are some of the three religions and other people. Even if they hide from the Three Pavilions in a sensible way, it is impossible for them to have no evidence of the case in these years. Go back and check carefully and report all the problems."
The two major generals looked at each other tacitly, Xiao Yibai coughed lightly and sighed: "You are not here in the past few years, and you don't know many things. Before the Five Snakes collapsed, these mobs used their names to pretend to be the powerful of the tiger, but once the Five Snakes fell, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the above was going to be eradicated. How could those who change their minds dare to use the name of the "Five Snakes" again?"
"You mean..." Xiao Qianye frowned and felt a little inexplicably irritated. Xiao Yibai tsk his tongue and continued, "I have indeed caught many thieves, robbers and human traffickers over the years, but no one will admit that he is the Five Rats, and he can't find anything even if he reverses the case."
"No one?" Xiao Qianye asked in disbelief. A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on Xiao Yibai's lips. "After the breaking, the four major realms were busy in the past few years. How could they have time to deal with those small fuss? Most of them were arrested and imprisoned for a while, fined some money and warned them and let them go. Not to mention reporting to the third pavilion of the imperial capital, I am afraid that even the local inspectors may not know it."
"Inspectorate?" Xiao Qianye raised his eyes and looked straight at his brother. The cold light in his eyes seemed like a sharp sword unsheathed. Xiao Yibai then remembered that the Inspectorate was newly established after he left, and quickly explained, "Feiyuan used to rely on the Sixingtai to monitor the entire area. Later, His Majesty demolished all the Sixingtai. After the fragmentation, he changed it into the Inspectorate on its original site, which was directly under the management of the Mo Pavilion. He personally appointed local officials to garrison. On the one hand, he assisted the three Pavilions in public security management of surrounding cities, and on the other hand, they supervised each other. It has been almost three years since it was established."
"Then let the responsible officials come to see me and check the thieves, robbers and traffickers again." Xiao Qianye withdrew his gaze and blurted coldly.
Xiao Yibai and the two major generals both had numb scalps. If it weren't for the accidental mention of Aunt Hong, they wouldn't even know that there were so many trivial things under their noses that seemed to be messy but caused chaos. Although the administrative agency has made considerable adjustments, the three Pavilions are still the center of power. With the temper of the young Pavilion Master, not only the inspector's office cannot avoid this scolding, but they probably have to be punished together.
Just as the few people were thinking about it, a crisp "click" sound suddenly came from the window. A hummingbird sending a message flew directly to the Xixue Clinic. Xiao Yibai took it strangely and muttered: "Why are you here? Is it yours?"
While speaking, he habitually twisted the hummingbird's tail to check. Suddenly his eyes sank, and his hands immediately stopped, lowering his voice: "It's not our hummingbird."
"Show me." Xiao Qianye subconsciously stood up, and before he could get out of bed, his feet softened, his pupils that had been as lightning suddenly dissipated. He staggered and almost fell down, as if he could hear the sound of bones loosening in his body. Fortunately, Zhao Song quickly helped him and put him back on the bed.
Xiao Yibai handed the hummingbird to him and said seriously: "Don't move around, the meringue is very medicinal. Now you can't even pinch an ant to death. This hummingbird just looks very similar, but it doesn't have the mark of the military pavilion, it's a counterfeit."
This sentence made the two deputy generals speak seriously at the same time and say in unison: "It is illegal to forge hummingbirds."
This hummingbird is not from the military pavilion. It has neither a formal number nor a lock made with a sea soul stone, so he can open it directly with just a slight twist. There was a small piece of letter paper in the belly cabin. Xiao Qianye carefully took it out, and his face changed color instantly.
"Qianye?" Xiao Yibai called him. He put down the hummingbird in his hand, shook his head and showed an unexpected expression, and threw the letter to him: "It's really surprising that it was him."
Xiao Yibai hurriedly read it, and he kept gasping for a while after seeing the last signature, and blurted out in disbelief: "Chonglan? Isn't he the Xinmo clan who broke into the imperial capital last time?"
"Xinmo?" The two major generals' nerves immediately tense up, and Xiao Qianye nodded, "He is here to ask me for the body of Jinhe."
"How could I give it back to him?" Chen Xi shook his head without thinking. Thinking of what happened last time, he said with lingering fear, "It's already a blessing from outside the law to let him go. He dares to come back to ask for the body of his accomplice?"
Zhao Song also felt strange and asked, "Does he have any bargaining chips? Otherwise, it would be impossible to use imitation hummingbird to send messages to you so directly, right?"
"It is said that it can provide some information about Wen Shun. If you agree to the conditions, he will wait for you at the junction of the East China Sea in a month." Xiao Yibai handed the letter to the two of them and looked at his younger brother, "It is true that Chonglan went to Juao, Kuoshan City, or Wen Shun personally received him. They should know him."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qianye suddenly turned his head and looked at his brother, as if he realized something, frowned and asked, "I remember that body was taken away by you, so you shouldn't have already..."
Xiao Yibai's face turned dark, his expression became a little strange, and he muttered in a low voice: "The pure blood Xinmo is rare, and he's dead. I must check it out... But if he wants it, I can sew it back."
"Seam..." Chen Xi said this word lowly, shivering inexplicably. Xiao Yi's face showed awkward expression and lowered his head with guilt. Instead, there was a hint of expectation in Xiao Qianye's eyes and asked, "Have you found something abnormal?"
Xiao Yibai recalled and replied: "Xinmo is worthy of being the most dangerous race recognized by Liudao. I think his injury was that your heart was smashed by your sword. If anyone else died instantly, he should have been killed. But he should have lived for a while because his body had shown signs of recovery. Except for the heart, the rest of the internal organs have been repaired to varying degrees. If it weren't for the heavy injury, I even thought he could survive. In other words, the pure-blooded Xinmo tribe could heal itself quickly as long as he did not die with one blow. No wonder no one can defeat the Liudao Island."
Xiao Qianye did not respond. The Xinmo tribe had a special physique and had a close relationship with the fire on Yinghuo Island. The situation in Jinhe was like Yun Xiao in the past. I guess Chonglan didn't want some secrets to be revealed, so he had to ask him for the remains of the same tribe. He silently weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and quickly exchanged a subtle look with his brother, and finally nodded: "Then let it return it to him. The information about Wen Shun in Jingge is mostly true and false. If he could use a corpse to exchange real information, it would be a loss."
Before Xiao Yibai could speak, Chen Xi couldn't help but remind: "Young Pavilion Master, those two people were transferred to Xuecheng in violation of regulations. Now you want to return the body of the Xinmo tribe to another Xinmo. Do you have to report to Mo Pavilion first?"
Xiao Qianye thought for a while, looked at the elder brother expressionlessly, and urged: "Hurry up and go back to sew the body, put all the internal organs and other things back, Moge...you go and report."
"Okay." Xiao Yibai just smiled very calmly. He used magic to write a reply on the letter paper and stuffed it back into the hummingbird's belly cabin and released it. Xiao Qianye frowned and looked at the hummingbird flying farther and said, "Zhonglan promised that I would not step into Feiyuan again, but he knew the news of Jinhe's death as soon as possible, and found me so quickly to ask for the body. This shows that even if others were not in Feiyuan, there was still a way to know what was happening here. How did he know... The biggest possibility was still through the black market."
"Will Fengyu?" Xiao Yibai raised his eyebrows in confusion and saw a sharp light in his younger brother's eyes. "Well, Fengyuyu is a big merchant in the black market. Since Wushi has no clue, he took the initiative to find me and might find something else."
Xiao Yibai was obviously a little worried. He remembered the injuries left by his younger brother after the battle with Chonglan, and said worriedly: "There won't be any danger when you go to see him, right?"
Xiao Qianye raised his head, smiled bitterly and lowered again: "He is different from Jinhe. He is not the kind of person who will never die. Otherwise, he would not have stopped easily in Tianshoudao last time. Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility. You will continue to investigate the matter of Wushi reconciling Chaoxiu. I will deal with it on Chonglan."
Xiao Yibai was helpless, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't know what to say for a moment and asked casually: "Will you still see the people from the Inspectorate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his younger brother's face calmly and looked a little angry. This expression made Xiao Yibai burst out laughing and continued to himself: "Why don't you forget it. You are like this now, and you probably have to lie in the bed for a few days before you can move. Moreover, you have been in Xuecheng for a while. The Three Pavilions are the highest power center of the imperial capital. If you had been carrying large and small bags in line to visit you, now people have not brag about walking the horse to please you. Although you have been negligent over the years, your style is still OK. I will remind them to pay attention to the things mentioned by Aunt Hong. Don't you worry about it, take medicine honestly and relieve the medicinal properties of the mushrooms."
He pinched his five fingers that could not be strengthened at all, so he could only nod and agreed.
