Chapter Twenty-Five: Fear of Speaking Out
y: “There’s no need to play games here. No matter how you act, the Li family, please remember one thing: whoever dares to touch what Jiang Wang possesses, I, Chong Xuan Sheng, will go all out and make...Zheng Shangming strode away.
He still had one sentence unsaid in his heart—however, even you, Jiang Wang, the legend you're creating now, only exists at the level of the inner court.
After the outer building is the divine arrival, after the divine arrival is the cave truth, and after the cave truth comes the Dao. This world is too vast! The great power is too great! Some things, can you really change them
Zheng Shangming, who had once resolutely refused to rely on his family's reputation and had hidden his identity to join the army, stubbornly fighting alone, was in Wen Lianmu's game, in front of the Zhen Guo Marshal's Mansion, smashed all his pride by Wang Yiwu's fist.
After that, he resolutely joined the Qingpai system and adapted to Beiya at the fastest speed.
Today he had different choices than Jiang Wang, but this wasn't a choice he made today.
Whether this is growth and transformation, or compromise and downfall, it's hard to say for sure.
Every person lives in their own moral system.
All the struggles, faith, excuses... throughout a lifetime, it's all just to rationalize after making a choice.
Sometimes, a person's change can happen overnight.
But there are always some people who never want to change.
Perhaps
According to Buddhism, a world is born and destroyed between the blooming and falling of flowers.
This is a paragraph.
Who can be sure they aren't a flower person
Jiang Wang sat quietly at the stone table in the courtyard, raising a finger again. In the gust of wind, she watched the fireworks bloom and wither, contemplating the profound mysteries of Taoism.
Perhaps today was not suitable for cultivation. Not long after, Xie the steward came to report again, saying that there were guests at the door.
The name card is beautifully made.
Visitor, Yang Jing from Biwu County.
Jiang Wang snuffed out the fireworks and lightly frowned.
Zheng Shangming's visit was expected, but Yang Jing's arrival was a surprise.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Unforeseen events always leave a sense of insecurity.
Despite this, he still got up and walked out to greet the guests in person.
No matter how you say it, his unannounced visit last time was indeed abrupt. It was also because the other party gave him face that they didn't hold it against him. There's no reason why, when the other party came to visit again, he started putting on airs.
He still can't pull off that kind of vibe.
His haughty demeanor, as Lord Jiang, was usually reserved for his close friends. He would occasionally tease and berate his buddies like Chong Xuan and Xu Xiangqian.
Yang Jing was dressed in black today, looking austere. He wasn't accompanied by any attendants and stood alone outside the door. His bow and sword were sheathed, but his sharpness remained undiminished.
"Welcome, honored guest! I, Jiang Wang, apologize for not having greeted you sooner."
"My lord is too kind," Yang Jing looked at him, "How about we speak in the inner room"
Jiang Wang immediately stepped aside, "Come to my courtyard!"
Fortunately, Chong Xuan is not here today. Otherwise, he might come and meddle in this. His Shadow Guards being beaten up in Biwu County really angered him.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other.
Yang Jing didn't even offer a greeting. He went straight to the point and said, "Gongsun Yu is dead."
>
"I don't know." Yang Jing said, "So I came to Linzi."
Linzi was so vast!
How many officials and nobles there are!
Yang Jing's nonchalant remark held a kind of solitary courage, like an army of thousands marching alone.
It seems he and Gongsun Yu are really good friends.
Jiang Wang said seriously, "I absolutely have nothing to do with it. I swear I had no knowledge of his death."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to your residence alone."
It seems he has already checked it privately...
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then asked, "When did he die"
>
Yang Jing said, "After you left, I went to accompany him for a while. At that time, he was still in good spirits and reading. When I went to pick him up the next morning after arranging his new hiding place, he was gone. There were no external injuries, Tongtian Palace, Five Factions all shattered and died."
"What do you think, elder brother" asked Jiang Wang.
Here is the translation of the content within "
"Perhaps. But protecting him is what I, as a friend, want to do most." Yang Jing said this, then got up and said, "Since you can't tell me anything, I'll take my leave now."
Jiang Wang subconsciously asked, "Where are you going"
"I've told you everything I know." Yang Jing looked at him. "Next, I'm going to find the answers my own way."
You will die.
Almost as soon as the thought occurred to him, Jiang Wang's mind was filled with it.
>
He said very seriously, "Matters of investigation will naturally be handled by our Qingpai. The information you have and the information we have are not on the same level at all. Joining rashly would be useless. It's better for you to return to Biwu County first and wait for news. When there are results, I will notify you immediately."
The true culprit behind the assassination of Consort Lei is, even if not belonging to the current empress, inevitably someone with a similar level of power as the current empress.

The murderer who killed Gongsun Yu, Yang Jing couldn't track him down, thankfully. If he were truly found... the consequences would be terrible.
Let's not talk about anything else, just based on Yang Jing's loyalty to his friends, Jiang Wang wouldn't want to watch him go to his death.
"It seems I was right. The killer belongs to a powerful force, one that my Yang family can't afford to mess with." Yang Jing tugged at the corner of his mouth, sounding both sarcastic and mocking. "After all, otherwise, how could they so casually kill my friend"
"Please believe me." Jiang Wang could not say much after all, he could only emphasize, "I will not give up on this case, and I have already touched the truth."
“I know you’re trustworthy. But I’m sorry, I can’t put the burden of my friend’s death on a stranger.”
Yang Jing turned and left without any hesitation.
It came suddenly and left decisively.
This is a smart and sober person.
>
He came to Linzi alone, perhaps he had been prepared for it all along.
>
In the courtyard, where the cold wind fell, once again only Jiang Wang remained.
He sat alone on a stone chair, silently pondering the case.
This case can't be delayed any longer.
Where is the crucial evidence
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Will there be any gains on Lin Youxie's side
Jiang Wuqi, Feng Gu, Gongsun Yu... died one after another.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If Yang Jing were to run into the forces behind the scenes, it would also be extremely dangerous.
Who's next Is Lin Youxie absolutely safe
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even myself
Seventeen years ago, the case was like an infinitely deep and dark vortex, constantly expanding, trying to draw more and more people in...
>
From all aspects, a result needs to be produced as soon as possible.
Either tear away the curtain that obscures it, letting sunlight pour in to illuminate every corner within.
> Or, bury it completely and never speak of it again.
It is obvious that Gongsun Yu chose the latter.
... not right...
Thinking of Gongsun Yu at this moment, Jiang Wang felt as if he had touched something.
He has always, it seems, overlooked something extremely important.
What is it
Jiang Wang frowned, stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
>
What was overlooked
The cold wind howled outside, so he simply walked into the room and shut the door. He cut off all the noise so that he could think in peace.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What was overlooked
He paced back and forth alone in the bedroom, then suddenly stopped, seeing a hanging scroll on the wall—
That was a painting specially framed by an artisan, the last work written by Jiang Wuqi before his death.
"Heaven does not abandon Qi, nor does my ancestor Jiang abandon me!"
A flash of inspiration exploded in Jiang Wang's mind.
That's right... Jiang Wuqì!
>
He finally figured out what he had been ignoring all along!
Since Feng Gu used death to instigate an investigation into the case from that year and clearly left clues pointing to the Empress Dowager of Da Qi.
>
Moreover, it seems that Gongsun Yu also knows something now.
That is to say, both Feng Gu and Gongsun Yu possessed a portion of the truth regarding the assassination of Empress Lei.
Then, as the Palace Master of Changsheng Palace, would Jiang Wuqi be completely unaware
>
Could such an exceptional person be completely kept in the dark by their subordinates
This is not reasonable!
Since Ke Jiang knows the truth, why doesn't he handle this matter himself
With his intelligence, status, and influence, he is far more useful than Feng Gu.
But he never mentioned it until his death.
Why!at all, but Chuan Zi felt a little disappointed.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!On the way, I asked, "Grandfather Dugu, why don't you live in the city"Earlier, Jiang Wang...
