It was night.
Talking with Munampin until the ugly hour.
The two of them finally said goodbye.
Mu Nan Lime went back drunk, still babbling all the way, something about being really delicate, soft and beautiful, some nonsense.
It was obvious that she was having fun.
After seeing Mu Nanping off, Li Xin made a special trip to find himself and brought one thing.
Wu Yan’s dossier.
Wu Yan’s dossier was not considered a difficult task, as for Cheng Lidong’s hair it was a bit difficult, Li Xin needed to find an excuse.
Xu Qingnian advised Li Xin to bring something to Cheng Lidong’s house to look for him, as it would not be difficult to find something like hair.
Li Xin agreed, and after a few words of small talk, he also went back to rest.
As for Wang Ru, he went to the inn in company with Xu Qingnian.
Outside the inn, however, it was already crowded, with many scholars waiting for Xu Qingnian.
As it was already the ugly hour, Xu Qingnian did not want to disturb others’ dreams, so he did not go through the front door and climbed straight up.
Xu Qingnian had not forgotten that he was a martial artist.
As a ranked martial artist, it was easy to climb through a window.
With two steps, he entered the room.
It was a good thing that he hadn’t closed the window when he left, so the junior didn’t dare to enter the room at will, and even to clean it, he had to ask the guest himself before he would arrange for someone to go up.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain what was missing.
Especially when dealing with a group of literati, where have there been literati stealing since ancient times? Even if there was, it would have been borrowed.
In the room.
Xu Qingnian fumbled for a torch and lit an oil lamp before starting to look at Wu Yan’s dossier.
The entire dossier was very detailed.
There was the time and place of capture, and even who had captured them.
Everything had to be written clearly and unambiguously, nothing could be overlooked, and often what was overlooked could be the key to solving the case.
But Wu Yan’s dossier is already a cover story.
What Xu Qingnian wanted to know was.
Who exactly was Wu Yan.
The entire dossier was sprawling with four to five thousand words.
Xu Qingnian read each and every word carefully.
Halfway through, a word instantly attracted Xu Qingnian.
[White-clothed Sect]
“White Cloth Sect!”
Xu Qingnian was a little surprised, this White Clothes Sect he knew what it was.
The most wanted criminals wanted by the court.
And it was the number one wanted criminal.
The reward for catching a disciple of the White-Clothed Sect was a hundred taels of gold and the title of a prospective hundred household, and this hundred taels of gold was a real hundred taels of gold, not the kind of so-called reward of three thousand, which was actually a pile of bra*s.
The reason why such a generous reward was given was because the White Clothes Sect was a rebellious force.
And it was the number one rebel group.
The best part was that the White Cloth Sect was a rebellion under the banner of the Martial Emperor.
The first half of Emperor Wu’s life was one of extraordinary bravery and resourcefulness, and although he did not wipe out the barbarians in his seven northern expeditions, the first few were hard fought and the barbarians cried out in agony.
The last few went downhill, one at a time, with more trouble.
In the end, Emperor Wu returned to the dynasty, and in his later years, he was so faint that he listened to treacherous words and slaughtered the loyalists, so to speak, his reputation was ruined.
This is what the history books record.
However, the White Clan believes that Emperor Wu was not faint in his old age, but was controlled by treacherous officials in the dynasty and lost his mind, becoming a puppet.
It is unbelievable that he even installed a female son as emperor. At the same time, the White Cloths believe that Emperor Wu had a son who should have succeeded to the throne, especially this son of Emperor Wu, who had the appearance of being prosperous.
The White Cloths were a great blessing to the empress and the people.
The White Clan came out to find the son of Emperor Wu, who had been left behind, to kill the traitors, and to overthrow the empress and establish a new Wei.
From these starting points, the White Cloths are simply doing the right thing for heaven and the people, returning a clear and clear sky to Wei.
But this is just rhetoric.
Who would say that they had come out without a name?
It is doubtful whether Emperor Wu had a son.
It was another doubt whether there were traitors in control of the court.
It is still a doubt whether or not it was normal for a female emperor to ascend to the throne.
Without evidence, it is useless to rely on mere words.
The greatest dream of the White Clan is to find the orphan of Emperor Wu, so that they can rebel in name only.
However, the attitude of the Great Wei Dynasty towards such organisations is one word.
Kill.
Two words would be.
Kill.
Absolutely no mercy would be shown.
But this Wu Yan, why was he not directly executed?
Xu Qingnian was a little puzzled, but did not ponder, instead continuing to look down.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Xu Qingnian finished reading all the remaining parts of the dossier.
It was just that the second half of the dossier contained nothing of value, most of it was interrogation information, interrogating Wu Yan about the purpose of his visit to South Yufu, and where the other disciples of the White Cloth Sect were.
Throughout the whole dossier, the only information Xu Qingnian got was.
Wu Yan was from the White Cloth Sect and had fallen in South Yufu.
Other than that, the other information was not of much value.
“The White Clothes Sect?”
“In other words, the person Wu Yan asked me to meet is also a disciple of the White Clothes Sect?”
Xu Qingnian frowned.
If he were to get involved with such a person, it would be a big trouble in the sky.
A disciple of the White-Clothed Sect was punishable by nine clans.
If one was involved with the White Cloth Sect, one would also be executed.
The court of the Great Wei had a very strong attitude towards the White Clan and was totally committed to eradicating the root of the problem.
If they found it, they would kill it, not giving it a chance.
But now Wu Yan was asking himself to meet up with people from the White Clothes Sect, which was a bit tricky.
If this was a meeting with other fugitives, Xu Qingnian would be fine.
The people from the rebel group, what kind of people are they?
They were all desperate people.
It was also extremely dangerous to get involved with them.
“I can’t touch them.”
Xu Qingnian immediately shook her head, deciding that she couldn’t go to the joint.
But soon, Xu Qingnian shook her head again.
“No, you can’t not go to the joint.”
The reason was simple, Wu Yan had died, and the people of the White Cloth Sect might not know the information, but if one did not go over to the joint within the corresponding time.
I am only afraid that this group of people will definitely go to investigate.
Once investigated, the biggest suspect would be himself.
Cheng Lidong could guess that he was fishy.
There was no way that the people from the White Clothes Sect could not guess.
When the time comes, this group of people will definitely come looking for themselves.
If this group of people came to my door, I would be in even more trouble.
It could be a dead end.
Oh, no, take away the possibility.
It must be a dead end for oneself.
A rebel group that could fight against the entire Great Wei Dynasty, not to say how strong it was, but it would still be relatively easy to kill a Confucian student.
Don’t look at yourself now, you have a thousand famous words in front of you and a great article in the back.
But in the eyes of such people, they are nothing.
Can you make me an emperor with a thousand famous words and a great essay?
No, right?
What’s the point of not being able to do so? What do I need your writings for? To show off?
There’s a good saying.
Your beloved goddess is really just a rich man’s ….
The ultimate essay, famous for a thousand years, is priceless in the eyes of some people.
But in the eyes of some, it is not as valuable as a penny.
So it’s more trouble to not go to the joint.
It has to be a joint.
“Tell them directly, so that the imperial court can send someone and have a clean sweep?”
Suddenly, Xu Qingnian thought of this method.
Only after pondering for a while, Xu Qingnian immediately shook his head.
This was even worse.
What could be done by catching another group of White Cloth Sect?
Even if the people who are in contact with Wu Yan are a bit higher than him, they are not much higher.
So arresting a group of minions will only draw the attention of the White Clothes Sect.
What would be the result?
It’s still your own bad luck.
Hiss.
The more Xu Qingnian thought about it, the more he felt that something wasn’t right.
The matter of Cheng Lidong hadn’t been resolved yet, and now there was another White Clothes Sect.
I should have known better than to look at the dossier.
Looking at it only added to the trouble.
I don’t know.
This Cheng Lidong really deserves to die.
The more Xu Qingnian thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that this Cheng Lidong deserved to die.
“No, should I set up a design to make Cheng Lidong do the job for me?”
Xu Qingnian suddenly thought of designing a way to get Cheng Lidong to die.
Only once the thought came to her, it was immediately vetoed.
There was no other reason.
Given Cheng Lidong’s character, he would probably submit directly to the White Clothes Sect when he saw it, and then take advantage of it, or even use it to target himself.
Instead, he would be raising a tiger as a problem.
“Wait!”
“Cheng Lidong, the White-Clothed Sect.”
At this moment, an excellent thought appeared in the middle of one’s mind.
Half an hour later.
Xu Qingnian perfected his plan completely, and then let out a long breath of relief.
There was even a smile on his face.
He had come up with a way to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he could solve the scourge of the White Cloth Sect, and on the other hand, he could also solve the trouble of Cheng Lidong.
The solution was simple.
Meet with the White-Clothed Sect and lie that he was a secret agent trained by Wu Yan and had been hiding in Ping’an County.
The fact that he was fatherless and motherless, yet he had managed to survive until now, could be explained as being secretly helped by Wu Yan.
Secondly, Wu Yan went to Ping’an County for two things. One was the supernatural arts. Secondly, he came to find himself so that he could bring the things over, otherwise why did he come when he knew he would surely die?
Again, this could be explained.
The most important thing is that one would make a new booklet, and an identical one at that, and give it to the White Clan.
The other side’s defences would be dispelled.
When the time comes to lend the hands of the White-clothed Sect to get rid of Cheng Lidong, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Is there a flaw in this plan?
Yes!
That is, they do not believe in their own identity.
If it really comes to this, is there a solution?
There is!
Join the White Clan.
Join with all sincerity.
As for the Empress or not, let’s not care about her.
I’ve already lost my own life, so what do I care about the Empress? It’s not like we know each other.
Is it dangerous to do so?
Yes, it is.
But is it dangerous not to do so?
More dangerous.
One has a 50/50 chance of being spotted, but there is a chance of salvation.
The other is a 90% chance of being targeted and then waiting for death in fear every day of your life.
As for telling the imperial court so that they can protect themselves?
That would be meh.
Not to mention whether they would take themselves seriously, even if they did, would they want to leave the capital?
You can’t stay in the capital for the rest of your life, can you?
Even if you stay in the capital.
Couldn’t they do it in the capital?
The White Clan specialises in killing ministers in the imperial court, but aren’t those ministers protected?
So, if you rely on others, you are just a princess.
If you rely on yourself, you are the queen.
Xu Qingnian never wanted to rely on others.
Be your own sun.
Why do you need to borrow the light of others?
Very well, the plan is set.
Go back to Ping’an County in a couple of days.
Investigate some things and then…
Then we’ll go to the meeting.
