Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 430: Sharing the Same Hatred with You
"Li Shao Zhang.

When [Liu Feng] dies, this letter will be sent to you.

At that time, I died because of Yu Hu's betrayal, and everything we talked about became true.

I know you have been wondering why we were caught off guard that night in Bowang and why our actions could be so easily manipulated. So did I.

He gave a lot of plausible reasons, but I was not convinced.

There is only one possibility that I firmly believe in - Huansilou has indeed been supported by the Shaolong officialdom for ten or twenty years, and this person has never been found or even suspected.

I am sorry that you have tried so hard to convince me of this in person in Bowang City and in previous letters, but I ignored you every time.

Because I can't leave any trace of my thoughts anywhere.

Including Xianren Terrace.

The moment doubt was planted in my mind, I knew that a faceless enemy was standing on the other side of the wall.

We can't see each other and will never tell each other that the war has begun, but we believe that the other side must have realized it.

I made my first attempt at the bottom of the lake in Jinyuzhai. That time, my target was the two Tuanshen from Huansilou. If I died, Liufeng would bring the result out.

But we killed the two actors [Sun] and [Liu] together and took over Jinyuzhai. By the time I wrote this letter, Xianren Terrace had been traced back to at least seven branches of Huansilou.

It almost made me look away from him.

Because that doesn't make sense - if he doesn't intend to be exposed, then there is no need for the two Tuanshen to come and die.

They came here to ambush me with the confidence that they would definitely kill me. Those two faces appeared at the bottom of Jinyuzhai Lake not to die in our hands.

Now that I am in Kongtong, I can see how short-handed they are. If [Sun] and [Liu] were both there, it would be almost impossible for Pei Ye to present the evidence to Lianxin Pavilion.

So I think Sui Zaihua will definitely not stand on the side of Huansilou.

This is an absurdity that needs no proof. I have known him for nearly twenty years, and the entire Shaolong government has known him for nearly twenty years. We have become accustomed to his existence.

But this also put me in a difficult position, because it meant that my depiction of the enemy on the other side of the wall was completely wrong.

My second attempt was to send the soul bird to Kongtong.

[Liu Feng] could have completely escaped being blocked by the Kongtong Mountain Formation, but I removed its key accessories, causing it to be captured by the mountain formation.

So that night, Pei Ye was really ambushed and killed by Qu Zhu in the Sutra Library.

There were signs that the Soul Bird's letter tube had been opened in advance. In a few days, the Immortal Platform would definitely write in the case file that it was Huansi Tower that intercepted the Soul Bird's secret letter and used the leaked information to plan an ambush on Pei Ye.

But if Qu Zhu really wanted to read this secret letter, there would be no trace left on the mailbox, and you would not even notice that the soul bird had been intercepted.

Apart from the Soul Bird, only Sui Zaihua and I knew this news.

Then I suddenly realized that Sui Zaihua could certainly go against Huan Si Lou, because the person who was connected with him was actually Qu Zhu.

Pei Ye told me Qu Zhu's life story in detail twice.

This person will never be willing to be inferior to Huansilou.

Then we have too many doubts - Sui Zaihua is one of the most important ministers in the government office, and Qu Zhu is second only to one person in Huansi Tower. How did they break away from their respective affiliations and stand together so firmly?
How could they cooperate so perfectly and trust each other so deeply? If Qu Zhu wanted to control [Xi Ting Xin] alone, then what did Sui Zaihua want?
For a minister with such a bright future, what else can Huan Silou and Qu Zhu give him?

The lives of hundreds of ghost actors and the tentacles that have infected several states are not enough. It is almost impossible for him to be bribed. The only one who may impress him is probably [Xi Ting Xin].

But there is only one [Xi Ting Xin].

If both of them wanted Xi Tingxin, then it would be impossible for them to trust each other like this.

If Lord Sui had been assassinated and now he was being disguised as a ghost, that would make more sense.

It was this thought that stunned me.

I have long realized that it exists in the corner of my mind, but I have never touched it, because Sui Zaihua is right in front of me. We first met in the government office twenty years ago, and we fought side by side at the bottom of Jinyu Lake three days ago. These two figures are definitely the same person.

He was the Shaoqing and Changshi of the government office, dealing with countless government affairs every day, many of which involved several agencies and even spanned four to five years.

He is not the kind of person who lives in seclusion. He is a gathering point. Once such a person is really replaced, there will be clear sounds of fractures around him.

So this is ridiculous conjecture.

But I suddenly had an even more ridiculous fantasy. Because if one possibility could really explain everything, then no matter how ridiculous it was, it could be——

Or, just say it directly, Li Shaozhang."

The girl slept peacefully in the smoke, the fatigue between her brows finally nowhere to hide, here is the warm and comfortable top floor of Taishan Medical Building, Pei Ye sat on the edge of the couch, lowered his eyes to look at the familiar handwriting that was wet, wrinkled and stained with sporadic blood.

In the early morning of that autumn day in Kongtong, in the tragic battlefield with broken trees and rocks, everything was quiet and gone. An old man with bloodstained clothes sat alone on the broken rocks under a tree, his gray hair was disheveled, and the old blood on his clothes was settling into spots bit by bit.

There were only the quiet wind and the slow waves around him. He quietly looked in the direction where the boy left, lowered his eyes again, and the cold morning light was shining on the back of his hand. He picked up the pen and wrote silently:
“I call it the truth.”

“For the third temptation, I will use this life and my sword.

[Jade Tiger] was made by Donghai Sword Furnace and Yangyi Tower twenty years ago, but the [Pulling Silk] pattern did not come from either of them, but was provided by the Weaponry Bureau. The sword also belonged to the government office after it was forged.

I checked the case files, and the Weaponry Bureau did not record who was sent to contact the two masters this time. However, one month after the sword-making was completed, Sui Zaihua was promoted to Junior Supervisor of the Weaponry Bureau.

Of course, they could have taught whom, but the sword that could betray its master must have been forged by Qu Zhu himself.

So I have to complete this judgment. If [Liu Feng] is really dead, then this letter will be handed to you: Li Shaozhang, Qu Zhu and Sui Zaihua have always been the same person.

This replacement did not happen at some later time, but when he first entered the Shaolong government office and met each of us, there was a completely different soul inside.

Therefore, I cannot find any evidence in Shaolong Mansion that proves that he is not “him”, because everything about “Sui Zaihua” has been buried in Bowang City.

I know that this is an irresponsible conclusion that will bring disaster to the investigators.

Now, I ask you to find evidence for this conclusion.

The first direction is the origin of the 'Soul-stealing Orb'.

"

This was a very long letter, clear, calm, and meticulous. On that morning when he was left alone in the mountains, he delivered everything to the girl hundreds of miles away without missing a single detail, because he had seen her extraordinary insight and calm hatred in many of her letters. Pei Ye finished reading the last paragraph, slowly closed the letter, and put it back into the girl's bag.

".
Goodbye, Li Shaozhang. I know this is a gamble, I may win, but I am more likely to lose, but I have no other choice.

Because if that is the truth, then all of us are too far away from it. Only I have been lucky enough to connect it with a vague line, which has no support and is completely climbed by my mind. Now I am bleeding and some functions are becoming dull. Maybe at some point in my trance, I will no longer be able to connect it.

Now there is no help available in Kongtong, I have to find a way to fix it.

It sounds like a heavy responsibility. However, crossing Kunlun alone has always been Hejian’s mission.”

Of course he did it, he didn't die under Kunlun, nor did he lose to Qu Zhu, "Using your own corpse to solve a case is a skill that every Hejian has."

Pei Ye still remembers the last scene of his separation with Wu Dong. He said he wanted to take a gamble and could not help him anymore.

"Next, you may have a hard and painful life, and you may even die in this vortex. No one can guarantee anything." The old man looked at him and whispered, "But if we win, we will win completely."

Only then did Pei Ye see clearly the pair of quiet gray eyes.

It turned out that the old man was already in a desperate situation at that time.

He had gone further than anyone else, and by the time he discovered all this, he had no companions around him.

That is the deep mountain of Kongtong. The Master of Mingjian and the Lotus Heart Pavilion are trapped in the [Jiu Zi in the Mountain]. The Huansi Tower is about to carry out their twenty-year plan. This is a complete devil's den. The founder of Kongtong and the master of Huansi Theater have been in collusion for a long time.

He had no way to turn the tide, nor could he control such a huge case; he certainly couldn't tell Pei Ye, because that person had noticed the young man earlier than him, and letting him drift under that person's control was more likely to survive than bringing him to his side.

Yes he believed him.

He had known him twenty years ago, and three days ago they were fighting side by side at the bottom of Jinyu Lake. They had been living together day and night for the past few days, standing apart from each other by the wall.

Believe in his strength and face his strength. In such a situation where the building is about to collapse and there are enemies everywhere, the only thing the old man can do is to gamble desperately.

He solved the case, even though no one enforced the results for him.

Except Li Piaoqing.

She must have spent a long time adjusting her mood and demeanor before opening her door.

They separated like that, they shouldn't have been able to meet each other so casually.

When Pei Ye opened the door and saw this face, he felt as if he was frozen, and his heart was suddenly clenched. He still remembered her situation when they separated, which made it almost impossible for him to even force a smile.

She should be in the same state. Now is not the time to comfort herself and smile after being frustrated. They are really separated. No matter how many times she dreams about him, she can only suppress her longing, and suppression will only lead to pain.

Just because she is carrying heavier things now.

Pei Ye didn't know what she was going to do. Maybe she contacted Tianshan and planned to report to the Immortal Platform after obtaining evidence; maybe she would continue the investigation in the capital city, even if the other party was truly omnipotent. In short, she had always been so tenacious.

Anyway, she would never give him any sign.

So she seemed very relaxed and happy, and in order to hide this, she also hid the sadness of separation.

Xi Yushu was in her bag. She knew what he had been through in the past few days and how glorious he was now. She would never reveal the burden she was carrying to him.

Now is not the time for vows of love; the commitment to mutual honesty has ceased.

The girl has always been very clear about the distinction.

But what could she do? Cui Yu had no business or backing in Shaolong, so who would recognize her as the head of Cui Yu?

But it was all about trying hard and risking one's life.

The girl came to this big city alone with serious injuries, and all she saw was boiling cheers. They were making a fuss and celebrating, and that name was in a high position of power and fame, and all his achievements were recorded in the Xiyu Book.

Because this matter should end here.

Pei Ye walked on the long and quiet street leading to the Immortal Terrace, thinking quietly.

Qu Zhu was not guilty of such a heinous crime. All he did in his life was just "rebellion".

Resisting the confinement of the Star Burial Tomb, resisting the control of the Happy Death Building, and resisting the judgment of God. Until now, as he said to himself, "I want to see what is controlling this world."

He did destroy the Huansi Building, so it's not unreasonable.

Besides, there is no evidence now.

Everyone knows that the case of Huansilou is over. At this time, what can you use to accuse a powerful and flawless new governor? His mouth?
Who would support him? If there was something wrong with this governor, then the entire Shaolong government office would be implicated in the past twenty years.

Of course, there is also the Immortal Terrace. He can have a serious talk with Master Zhang, or write a letter to Miss Ming, which are more reasonable ways.

But he was not familiar with this master. Perhaps Zhang Xiaozhu was also involved. The relationship between the sect and the court was so sensitive. Could Yunlangshan intervene in the court and overthrow a powerful governor? Qu Zhu might have been prepared for such a revelation. Would he be caught off guard? He sent a sword letter to Li Piaoqing, which might be a test. Moreover, he might have foreseen the girl's entry into the city. If he wanted to make trouble, he should pretend to know nothing.
But he was actually too lazy to think about it too much.

——He has lost to him three times.

Now he is already in the big circle he has created. If he is the most prominent upstart in Shaolong, then he is the most powerful backer behind him. When will all the strategies, guesses, and games come to an end?

Revealing it, whether he can win or not, he doesn't want to hand over the power of judgment to others anymore.

If it happened again, perhaps he would not persuade Yang Yan of Zhuoyue Tower.

What Lord Sui said the other day was very right. Many things are not about right or wrong, but conflicts of interests between different people. If he had not been impulsive at that time, Ji Changyun might have fought side by side with them in the Death Tower; if Qu Zhu was born with a better sword talent, he and he might have been the closest companions.

But I also answered at that time, "I am not among them."

Pei Ye listened to the enthusiastic cheers from the audience below the Jade Sword Stage. Being able to become famous with sword skills in front of hundreds of thousands of people must be what the young man from the mountain city has always dreamed of.

He listened to the applause in the pavilion in front of him. There was joy and harmony there, and everything was ready for him.

He drew out the jade tiger, held the sword in hand and walked in.

That morning on the cliff of Kongtong Mountain was not without value. When he tried his best and finally, in a rage, nailed the Heart-breaking Glaze into the chest of the man in black robe, he had demonstrated to him how to defeat the strong with the weak.

Compared to using [Shao Yu Jian] to overthrow [Da Yu Jian].

Perhaps he was more accustomed to using Liu Sheng to kill a Yeque.
