Chapter 153 Disaster in the North
"The truth is..."

"I do not know either."

Baizhi: "???"

Bai Zhi asked with a half-smile, "I've already thought about what to cook for you tonight."

Shen Changyan's eyes brightened, "What?"

Let's not talk about anything else, this girl is really good at cooking!

Bai Zhi blinked her eyes, and said innocently, "Stir-fried scorpions with poisonous snake gall, steamed poisonous spiders, and an arsenic mixed with red crane's crown for dessert, what do you think?"

Shen Changyan: "........."

"As I said just now, the person on the execution platform is indeed Bai Weiwei. I also don't understand this point, so I can only get the answer if I find Mrs. Yang, or maybe there is someone who knows the answer." Shen Changyan touched He touched his nose and said while trying to stay calm.

"Who?"

"One River Daoist."

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, and a guess arose in her heart, "Why do you think he might know? After Bai Weiwei was sentenced, Yang went to him?"

"Yes, after Bai Weiwei was arrested, Yang went to ask Bai Yan to save Bai Weiwei, but Bai Yan refused, and then Yang went to the Taoist temple."

"Is Daoist Yi Jiang there?"

"Recently."

"Is there any way to change a person's face into another person?" Shen Changyan asked.

"Human skin mask."

"There is no human skin mask." Shen Changyan said.

For every prisoner sentenced to death, before and after the execution, the identity of the prisoner will be confirmed.

"I don't know." Bai Zhi said truthfully.

"I have never learned it, nor have I seen it. If such a technique exists, it must be a forbidden technique." Bai Zhi said.

If you want to change something through mystical techniques, you must pay a corresponding price for it.

When you choose to change what you are born with, the price you pay will be even greater, so even if it exists, it is a forbidden technique.

Including that the Purple Qi that originally belonged to Fu Zhuochen will appear on the body of the third prince is also one of the forbidden techniques, but this kind of forbidden technique is too inhumane. Her master was afraid that she would accidentally fall for it, so he agreed to let her understand and taught her Countermeasures.

Bai Zhi thought for a while, "Perhaps, if you find Bai Weiwei's body and take a look, maybe you can find one or two."

Shen Changyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Zhi, "She was sentenced to beheading."

"I know, so what?" Bai Zhi blinked her eyes without any fear on her face.

"So, her body, head and body are separated, aren't you afraid?" Shen Changyan asked meaningfully.

Bai Zhi looked very indifferent, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just being beheaded. If you have the chance, you should be allowed to see those ghosts who died tragically. Those who died by beheading are nothing."

Shen Changyan: "..."

It was he who had lost his knowledge.

So, the two of them decided to check the condition of Bai Weiwei's body very "happily".

However, the news that Yingze brought back was that Bai Weiwei's body was missing.

"Perhaps, our guess may really come true." Bai Zhi said with her lips curled up.

Shen Changyan ordered: "Continue to search. In addition to Bai Weiwei's body, we will also find out where Mrs. Yang has gone, and send someone to confront Daoist Yi Jiang."

"Yes."

It took a few days for the matter of Zhen Guogong's mansion to fade away.

At the same time, the third prince's disaster relief in the north also achieved good results.

According to the report sent back, it will not be long before the disaster will be completely brought under control.

The most worth mentioning thing is that after a heavy snowfall, a large ice cube appeared, and the pattern inside the ice cube looked faintly like a dragon.

Everyone said it was auspicious.

This incident was reported back to the capital, and the emperor was very happy after seeing it, and immediately praised the third prince, and sent an order to the north, saying that as long as the third prince came back after the disaster relief, he must be rewarded.

The auspicious matter was discussed in the capital.

Who wouldn't be happy to hear such auspicious signs?
However, Bai Zhi found that Shen Changyan's complexion was not very good.

"There are dragons engraved in the ice cubes. This kind of so-called auspiciousness is not difficult to make. If His Majesty likes it, dragons, phoenixes, if he likes to eat chicken, duck and fish, I can make some for him." Bai Zhi joked.

Shen Changyan was originally in a depressed mood, but after hearing Bai Zhi's teasing, he felt a little more relaxed.

"You just say some unreliable things." Shen Changyan scolded with a smile.

"Then who is frowning because of a so-called auspicious thing?" Bai Zhi glanced at him.

Shen Changyan looked at her and said with a proud look, "You don't know it yet!" "Who told you that I am worried about auspiciousness?"

After speaking, Shen Changyan showed a piece of information to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi opened the information suspiciously, and after looking at it, her expression became serious.

This is the true situation of the disaster in the north. Judging from the reports, the disaster in the north is still very serious. Many people have no food to eat and no shelter from the wind and rain.

Those who died of starvation died of starvation, those who died of cold died of cold, and the corpses littered the fields.

"The report sent back by the third prince is completely different from this one!" Bai Zhi said coldly.

"Their people drove the victims to at least ten miles outside the city. The people in the city were already rich, so it seemed that everything was fine." Shen Changyan sarcastically said.

"Hiding your ears and stealing your bell, you're deceiving yourself and others." Bai Zhi snorted lightly.

Then asked: "Then what should we do next? Do you want to tell His Majesty the truth?"

"This was found out by the power of Duke Shen's mansion, but the officials who accompanied him to the north have already been bribed, so His Majesty may not believe our information." Shen Changyan said.

Bai Zhi said angrily: "Then just let the third prince's people mess around like this?!"

"Those people gather for profit, and not all of them firmly support the Three Princes' party." Shen Changyan mocked.

"In two days, some real voices will appear." Shen Changyan said.

When the third prince was going to the north to provide disaster relief, he had already made preparations. He and the prince's people prepared everything in secret, and when they saw the opportunity, they would take action against the third prince's group.

Otherwise, given the circumstances at that time, the crown prince might not be able to compete with the third prince.

Simply let the third prince go, and then find a time to replace him, so as to suppress the power of the third prince.

These days, he pretended to break up with the prince, which also made the people in the third prince's faction relax their vigilance.

As Shen Changyan expected, he didn't even have to wait until two days later to finish talking with Bai Zhi. The situation of public grievances in the north had already been reported to the emperor's desk the next day.

After reading the memorial, the emperor was furious, but then he asked: "Why is it so inconsistent with the previous report? Is someone concealing the situation, or is someone exaggerating?"

The emperor was not willing to immediately believe that what the third prince said was false.
