Chapter 187 Nanhuai Mansion (7)

Letters all over the handwriting are spread under the drawing paper, and the densely packed text is placed there, which looks very shocking.

Wen Jisheng recovered from the initial surprise. At this time, Ban Xiyu had roughly read the contents of the letter. Then, when he turned his head, he saw Ban Xiyu reaching out and fiddled with the letter from under it. for a moment.

Then Ban Xiyu pulled out a map from under the pile of letters.

Wen Jisheng: "?" He couldn't help but leaned over to look, and asked at the same time: "What is this?" He glanced at the mountains and terrain depicted in the picture, and said, "It seems familiar..."

But at first glance, he couldn't tell exactly where the positions indicated on the picture were.

At this time, Ban Xiyu said: "It's the border map of Xuan and Rong." She spoke calmly, pointing out several locations on the map with her fingertips:

"This is Guicheng of Daxuan, that is Jiangchuan of Rongguo... and this river is the Yunhe River that crosses the two countries."

Wen Jisheng looked along the several places Ban Xiyu pointed out, and saw that there was a clearly marked route on the city pointed out on the map.This line starts from Jiangchuan, passes through Guicheng, then intersects with Yunhe, and finally ends in the east.

On this piece of paper, where the line breaks, is the blank space at the edge.That location was circled in red ink, with four characters written on it - "Xuan Guo Jingcheng".

Wen Jisheng: "...Excuse me for my ignorance, may I ask if this is the roadmap for their plan to attack Xuanguo?"

Ban Xiyu shook his head and said, "No, this is the road map for caravan business."

Wen Jisheng: "?" He was stunned for a moment: "Caravan?" Why is it related to the caravan?
Ban Xiyu pushed the letter in front of him and said, "You can understand after reading these secret letters."

Hearing this, Wen Jisheng's gaze immediately returned to the letters on the table.At the same time, Ban Xiyu explained from the side: "Among these letters, there is a letter that should be returned.

"In his confessional letter, Ying Zhao also admitted that during his tenure in Fuzhou, he once intercepted an illegally operating caravan. It was a businessman from Jiangchuan, Rongguo, who wanted to send a batch of animal skins to Daxuan capital to go.

"But the so-called 'animal skin business' is just a cover-up. What they really want to transport is a batch of medicinal materials that have been strictly prohibited by Da Xuan."

Wen Jisheng had already read most of the letter, and knew the real purpose of the businessmen.He was surprised and said: "Lost Soul Grass, they actually want to flow Lost Soul Grass into the major medicinal shops in Xuan Kingdom!"

Lost Soul Grass is Xiao Selin's unique herb, which has the effect of deceiving people's minds.Its medicinal properties are extremely strong, and only a small leaf can make people unconscious.

If the dose is increased, the Chinese herbal medicine practitioner will lose all five senses after waking up.Moreover, those who take this medicine will lose all pain sensation during the coma period, and their whole body will be paralyzed, even if a thousand arrows go through their hearts, they will be unconscious.

Wen Jisheng said: "If the Lost Soul Grass is used properly, it can also be used as an anesthetic. At first, the Lost Soul Grass was only unique to Xiao Selin in Shensha Prefecture, but a few years ago when the Wuyue Clan came here, they used the Lost Soul Grass as poison , widely poisoning the troops of Xuan and Rong."

Ban Xiyu nodded, and said: "Xuan Guo and the Wuyue Clan continued to fight. Although I was still young at that time, I had heard from my grandfather that in order to solve the trouble caused by the Lost Soul Grass, Xuan Guo spent a lot of money. With less manpower and material resources, it is still unavoidable that the Lost Soul Grass is gradually flooding in Daxuan."

Wen Jisheng: "In those few years, many sects in the Jianghu used the Lost Soul Grass to eliminate dissidents, but after the defeat of the Wuyue Clan and Daxuan's ban on the Lost Soul Grass, all the Lost Soul Grass circulating in the territory of Xuan Kingdom were all destroyed. After burning it out, it didn't take long for the Lost Soul Grass to disappear from Xuanguo."

As for Xiao Selin, which is rich in lost soul grass, it has long been burned by the fire, and not a single grass can grow.Not only that, Xiao Selin is also under the control of Xuan Guo, and no one can enter or leave it without the emperor's permission.

Wen Jisheng wondered: "Accordingly, the Lost Soul Grass is not kept in the world, where did this group of Rongguo merchants get it from?" The country's abacus?

"They want to rely on the Lost Soul Grass to plunge Daxuan into chaos again, so that they can take advantage of the fire and unify Xuanrong and Xuanrong in one fell swoop?"

Ban Xiyu shook his head: "It's hard to say what the people of Rongguo are up to right now. But if the good ones don't come, and the bad ones come, the origin of this caravan must not be simple—"

As she said that, she took out another letter and handed it to Wen Jisheng, and said, "Look at this again—this letter says that the one who will take over the caravan's goods is the 'Linlang Pavilion'. The 'Linlang Pavilion' in the capital ’, have you ever heard of it.”

Wen Jisheng thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any clue about the 'Linlang Pavilion'.He said: "I've never heard of a merchant named 'Linlang Pavilion' in the capital."

"But no matter which merchant the 'Linlang Pavilion' represents, it proves that there are collaborators and treacherous people in Daxuan territory. This person unites with court officials to try to bring disaster to Daxuan." Ban Xiyu said solemnly:
"There are too many suspicious points in this case. To investigate clearly, I'm afraid we have to start with this 'Linlang Pavilion'."

After finishing speaking, Wen Jisheng couldn't help but sighed, and said: "It's just a pity that I should return it... If it wasn't for the caravan's mistakes on the way, killing people because of some disputes, otherwise it would not be easy to be caught."

Because of the arrest of these businessmen, Ying Zhao also offended the local gentry and garrison generals in Fuzhou, and was hunted down to death.Ying Zhao is also well aware of the dangers of the Lost Soul Grass, and is determined to find out who is behind the scenes.

Ban Xiyu was full of regrets in his heart: "No one expected that Mr. Ying secretly pursued the clues, intercepted these letters as evidence, and wanted to report them to the court. But before the culprit was brought to justice, he died in a foreign land."

Wen Jisheng: "Fortunately, after going through twists and turns, we finally got back the clues that Ying Zhao left behind. With these letters, I believe that Ying Zhao will be able to redress her injustice in the near future, so you don't have to worry too much. "

He looked at the slender woman in front of him.She stood under the lamplight, with a look of sadness on her face that worried about the country and the people.For some reason, Wen Jisheng wanted to rub her for comfort.

But when he stretched out his hand, he stopped when his palm was about to touch the hair of the other party.

Although the relationship with Ban Xiyu is quite close, isn't this behavior inappropriate?While hesitating, Ban Xiyu raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of doubts:
"It's not really worrying, I just... what are you thinking about?"

Hearing the silence, he was shocked and immediately came back to his senses.He reached out and brushed her shoulder casually, and said with a casual smile, "It's nothing, I just saw mosquitoes here, and I chased them away."

Ban Xiyu: "Oh..."

Afterwards, Wen Jisheng left Ban Xiyu's house on the pretext of resting.He patted his face in frustration, and cursed secretly: Wu Jinsan, you are possessed!

 The me I am today is not the me I was yesterday!Today, I am JUNSHIBO!Just say, enough on time!
