Chapter 465 Zhao Faxian [asking for a monthly ticket! ]
At noon the next day, in a private room of a restaurant near the street corner.
Liang Yue sat at the elegant little table and finally saw Zhao Faxian, whom he had been looking for for a long time, but his mood now was very different from before.
The man in front of him was about thirty years old, thin, with a slightly weathered complexion. He looked like an frustrated scholar. It was hard to associate him with an important official of the court like a city's prison official.
"It's really not easy to meet Lord Zhao." Liang Yue pushed the poured teacup over and started with a smile.
Zhao Faxian turned his head and glanced downstairs. The crowd was surging and the whole city was gathering. He smiled softly and said, "Even if Sir Liang didn't come to see me, I would come to see you soon."
Today is the largest beheading scene in Yunlu City. Dozens of important figures, including Zhou Baihe, the head of the Zhou family, will be executed in public, so there are huge crowds of people.
Liang Yue did not keep the biggest limelight for himself, but let the prince personally preside over the execution. Strictly speaking, these evil families were killed by the prince as an imperial envoy, and Liang Yue, the prison officer, was just investigating their crimes under the wise leadership of the prince.
"Because your goal has finally been achieved, right?" Liang Yue said, "The dark clouds over Yunlu City have been lifted."
After the Yihuo Sect's attack on the camp ended, Liang Yue began to have doubts in his mind.
Those who often kill people know that it is important to deal with the corpse.
During the previous interrogation, they learned that the bodies on Yungong Mountain were not dealt with because Madam Yungong was soft-hearted and buried all the victims in the villa in one place, hoping that they could rest in peace.
In the end, these corpses caused a major case after the wildfire.
And if those deserters from the Nanzhou Military Town were killed by the Yihuo Cult to silence them and were just left outside the city, then they really didn't learn any lesson at all.
But if this was done by someone else, what was the motive?
Is it possible that they wanted to alert Liang Yue to the identities of these people, so as to alert him to the Nanzhou military town, so as to prevent the Yihuo Cult from succeeding...
If someone really knows all this inside information, why can't they just say it?
So Liang Yue thought of Zhao Faxian.
Apart from the people inside the Righteous Fire Cult, who is most likely to have insight into their plan? It should be this former prison officer. He had been investigating the Righteous Fire Cult before, and had a deep understanding of it. He may have already obtained some important intelligence.
If you think about it carefully, the files about the Yungongshan case were also given to Liang Yue by Zou Shiyi in the name left by Zhao Faxian.
The Yungongshan case was the first blow to the aristocratic families, so the guidance of this file was also very important.
Since entering Yunlu City, checking the Qi Family, Yungong Mountain, and the Yihuo Sect... Liang Yue's entire path of behavior seemed to be to search for Zhao Faxian and complete certain assigned tasks step by step.
This feeling was inexplicably familiar, just like when he was investigating a case under the guidance of Liang Fuguo. The methods were similar, which awakened Liang Yue's memories.
He began to think about the possibility that Zhao Faxian directed and acted in the film himself. If so, there must be someone inside the Criminal Justice Department who would cooperate with him and synchronize the progress of Liang Yue's investigation with him, aligning the granularity at any time.
The most likely person is naturally Zou Shiyi.
So Liang Yue found Zou Shiyi, and after insisting several times, he confirmed that Zou Shiyi knew where Zhao Faxian was, so Liang Yue asked him to help make the contact.
This is how we have today's meeting.
……
"Oh--"
There was a thunderous cheer from below. As the prisoners were taken to the execution ground, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sat on the execution platform.
The little fat man had seen some big scenes, but looking at those respectful faces, he still felt a little nervous. This was different from the previous trips when everyone was respectful to him. Those people respected his clothes and his identity as a prince. But now, these people respected his actions and the real him.
The prince's face trembled twice, and Hu Delu beside him whispered, "Your Highness, it's time to say something."
"Oh oh..." The prince was startled and stood up quickly.
Liang Yue had already written the speech for him, and he was afraid of forgetting it, so he sewed it on his sleeves. At this moment, his mind was blank, so he pretended to wipe the sweat off his face, took a quick look, and then cleared his throat and said loudly: "For thousands of years, many noble families have been attached to Qingdu, and it has been passed down to this day. How dare you say that Qingdu is the Qingdu of the noble families? Today, everyone must know that Qingdu is the Qingdu of the people! The noble families are unkind, and their chaos should be stopped..."
The long street was silent, with only the fat boy's gradually relaxing voice echoing.
Liang Yue from upstairs also said, "I'm a little curious, don't you have the ability to do this? Even with the support of the Left Prime Minister, you can't defeat the Qingdu family?"
"Maybe, but it's definitely not as simple as you." Zhao Faxian said, "The reason why I don't show up is not completely voluntary."
Liang Yue leaned back in his chair, showing a gesture of wanting to hear more.
Zhao Faxian began to narrate, "I have been secretly investigating in Yunlu City for a long time, and I have some knowledge of the activities of several major families and the Yihuo Sect. Just when I wanted to launch a thorough investigation, something disrupted my plan..."
It turned out that while he was an official in Yunlu City, he met a woman, fell in love with her, and became husband and wife. They were very loving.
But not long ago, he got hold of important clues about Yungong Mountain, and it was his plan to use the Yungong Mountain case to attack several major families. But just before the plan began, an accident broke all his plans.
His beloved wife turned out to be Bashan's spy.
She left a letter to lead Zhao Faxian to the ruined temple outside the city, where a group of rebels from Bashan appeared and kidnapped Zhao Faxian. Liang Yue knew this before, and it matched what Chunyu Fu said.
What Chunyu Fu did not mention was the part about the spy from Bashan.
When he said this, Zhao Faxian's eyes were dim and he seemed to be in pain. It seemed that he still couldn't get over the fact that he was deceived by his beloved.
"When I was being kidnapped, it was Master Liang who appeared and saved me." Zhao Faxian continued.
"Lord Zuo Xiang?" Liang Yue was a little surprised when he heard this. "He came to save you personally?"
"Yes." Zhao Faxian looked at Liang Yue in surprise, "Don't you know? Master Liang is not only outstanding in knowledge and talent, but also has top-notch talent in Qi training. Back then in the Sword Academy, he and Song Zhili were both amazing practitioners."
"But even so, to cross from Shendu to Qingdu in one go..." Liang Yue frowned and thought. Even if Chen Suyi was a great god, it still took him a lot of time to get here.
Liang Fuguo was able to appear so timely, could it be that his cultivation was stronger than Chen Su's?
No way?
How many surprises does he have...
"After returning to Longyuan City, I found out that someone went to my house to search and found the letters between me and Bashan..." Zhao Faxian continued, "There is no doubt that this was done by Yu Niang again. In the past few years that we have been together, she has become very skilled in imitating my handwriting and even got my seal. It goes without saying that Bashan's forgery was flawless."
"I discussed with Master Liang and decided to take this opportunity to hide and see what these mountain thieves were planning to do. Master Liang then came up with this plan, asking to be imprisoned, and then sending someone else to finish the job. I didn't expect that the person he sent was you, and I even had some doubts about you..."
At this point, Zhao Faxian smiled, obviously feeling ridiculous for doubting Liang Yue's ability.
He accomplished a hundred times better than he had imagined.
Liang Yue nodded and said, "Since the conspiracy between Bashan and Yihuo Cult has been exposed and the Qingdu family has been destroyed, you can also show up to clear the suspicion for Zuo Xiang, right?"
But Zhao Faxian suddenly shook his head and said, "Not yet."
