Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Sorry, can't do that."

"I can already cut my soul apart, and the technology to infuse it into flesh is in your hands - there's no way you can't do it!"

The Grand Tutor frowned as he helped Qiao Yelan block the explosive momentum, and was secretly on guard in his heart. Mysterious patterns appeared on every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every stone in the garden, faintly echoing the Grand Tutor's words.

"Then first of all, you must be able to cut your sister out of your soul."

There was no expression on Qiao Yelan's face.

"But can you find your sister in your soul?"

Anger was revealed on the young man's face, and the pressure around his body became increasingly violent, but in the end, it was as if he had lost all his energy, and he turned back into an ordinary chess player.

"What the hell is going on... Why can't I find [Jie]? And why can I use all of her abilities?"

"This story is a long one, and it's related to how the twelve phases of your year beast were born. Master, would you like to listen to it?"

The old man said nothing, but he was concentrating.

Qiao Yelan chuckled and retelled the story he had told in Longmen.

After saying this, the Grand Master seemed to be lost in thought, while the Second Prime Minister fell to his knees on the ground in despair.

"Really... you can't come back?"

Qiao Yelan opened his mouth, and the tutor became nervous and wary as he moved.

Anyone could understand that at that moment, He was a man who was about to drown. If anyone gave Him a little hope, He would be willing to go crazy for them.

But he just smiled silently at the old man.

"Let's go."

The tutor pushed Qiao Yelan and left the yard.

The man still knelt there, tears dripping.

The two of them passed through the corridor quietly again, and Qiao Yelan suddenly spoke.

"You seemed very nervous just now."

"...Can you really split the age phases again?"

"Isn't this a good thing for you? If Sui Xiang continues to split and Sui can't wake up, Da Yan will be able to face other problems more calmly."

The old man was silent.

This is indeed the truth - but if he had said it just now, he would have found it hard to imagine that Qiao Yelan would use this bargaining chip to ask Him to do anything.

The request proposed by Qiao Yelan made the Grand Tutor more wary than the inevitable awakening of Sui.

The unknown is the most frightening thing.

"I'm no longer interested in him. I'll leave it to you guys to watch. I've already got what I wanted."

"What is [Spirit Art]?"

"Sui Xiang can use his own abilities to give inorganic creatures the ability to move. Both [Xi] and [Ling] have demonstrated this ability. These creatures can even move freely and have basic thinking patterns and combat capabilities."

Qiao Yelan picked up the paper in his hand.

"Have you ever thought that if this technology can be expanded, we can use recyclable consumables to fight against those evil demons?"

The Master's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Indeed, letting [Shuo] participate in [Yumen] is indeed a brilliant move, but in the end, this is based on his own hatred for Sui and his recognition of Da Yan - otherwise, why would Simuitai place such a huge force in Yumen?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The same is true in reverse. If you want the Sui Xiang to be of use to Da Yan, then you need more than just one person or one thing. The mobile city of Shang Shu relies on the magic iron provided by [Nian]. But what if [Nian] is willing to use her ability with metals to participate in the construction?"

Qiao Yelan patiently guided the old man's thoughts.

"Rather than letting them retreat to a deserted place, delaying the wear and tear of the souls of the Sui, and prolonging the Sui's sleep, it is better to let them come out and join the human race. Thousands of years ago, they were all killed by humans, and they were resentful giant beasts. Now, they are willing to make good connections, so they naturally have to add fuel to the fire."

"Let's not talk about how much help they can provide us in fighting against the evil demons and the Sui beasts. Even if we only have to deal with Sui's soul in the future, it's better than dealing with thirteen beasts at the same time - this is also the goal we hoped to achieve back then."

The Master nodded slightly.

It seems that since the disappearance of [Jie], Simuitai's behavior has gone a bit too far.

"I will rethink our relationship with the age-and I may need your help if necessary."

"Ask for it, but my price is not low."

"I'll be mentally prepared."

The Grand Tutor continued to push Qiao Yelan forward, but did not notice that a trace of power unique to the Sui Beast left them and returned to the depths of the corridor with what he saw and heard.

Where the old man couldn't see, Qiao Yelan smiled.

Now, the deal is done.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"They even dared to kill my special envoy - these thieves are simply lawless! Lawless!"

This was the first time the emperor slammed the table in front of his ministers.

"Dali Temple, have you found anything that you can report to me?"

Yu Shaoqing stepped out immediately.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the night before Zhu Rong Shao Qing left Beijing, he went to the bank to withdraw two sums of money. One was the deposit of Zhu Rong's family in the official bank, and the other was from a private bank. After investigation, it was found that the banknotes Zhu Rong Shao Qing held that night were from Wang's business, which was wiped out half a month ago."

Cai Yan and Chen Fan raised their heads almost at the same time.

Cai Yan was surprised that Chen Fan could actually bribe Zhu Rong Hui. These were the emperor's retainers, and apart from the eunuchs, they should be the most loyal group of people.

Chen Fan, who knew that he had never issued this order, felt dizzy - this was not bribing the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, that was the emperor's personal guards!

He now wanted to hold Minister Wang's head in his hand and ask him where he got the courage to bribe Zhu Rong Hui with money.

Neither of them doubted the Dali Temple's conclusion.

This is what Qiao Yelan said, a double-edged sword has double advantages.

"It's Wang's Company again. I remember that Minister Wang is also related to Wang's Company, right?"

"Your Majesty's lesson."

"This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor! How dare these people act so recklessly? They are no longer ordinary bandits. We must strike hard! Where are the Yulin Guards?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards knelt down immediately.

The Emperor's wrath.

"The Jingzhao Yinfu and the Dali Temple are already unable to cope with the situation. I will mobilize the Imperial Secret Service to help you. At the same time, the Yulin Guard will also be dispatched. If you expect to encounter obstacles during your investigation, take the Yulin Guard with you. I want to see if there is anyone in the capital who dares to resist the Yulin Guard!"

"I will receive the order."

In the face of the emperor's anger, all the officials looked at each other with their eyes and noses, pretending to be wooden men.

No one wanted to offend the emperor at this time, and the emperor's order was completely reasonable and well-founded, so even Cai Yan did not say anything more at this time.

However, the frown on his face proved that the Prime Minister was not in a good mood at the moment.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------

As soon as the court meeting ended, Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel came to the Prime Minister's Residence.

"Master Cai, something is wrong."

He said to his mentor in a deep voice.

Cai Yan sat there silently, with a mountain of government affairs still piled up on his desk.

"Master Cai?"

"——This was not done by Chen Fan. He would never do such a thing."

Cai Yan spoke slowly.

"Yes, no matter how desperate Minister Chen is, he would never kill the emperor's special envoy. Moreover, the current situation is not the time to gamble everything on it! Even if he bribed Zhu Ronghui, what does it matter?"

Gao Cheng's voice sounded hurried and a little irritable.

"When faced with a big event, you need to stay calm - I've said this many times. If you don't change this habit, you can only be a minister!"

Cai Yan did not answer Gao Cheng's question, but scolded him instead.

Gao Cheng paused, didn't say anything, found a chair to sit down, closed his eyes, and opened them after a while. His expression had become calm.

"Our previous judgment may be wrong. The deaths of those two families may not be caused by Chen Fan."

Cai Yan said in a deep voice.

"I was wondering why Chen Fan wanted to put the blame on the Yulin Guards. Now that this has happened, it actually makes sense."

"What did the murderer want to do?"

Gao Cheng was also thinking, but it was still a mess.

"Killing Wang the shopkeeper was to stop the expansion of the Shaofu. Killing Wang the assistant minister was to frame the Yulin Guard. The reason for killing the imperial envoy is still unclear, but there is no doubt that whether Zhu Ronghui was on a diplomatic mission or not, the Zhu Rong family was originally a retainer of the emperor. Killing him was aimed at the emperor."

"You mean, the people who planned these murders targeted the royal family?"

Gao Cheng's face was filled with shock.

"On the surface, this is the only reasonable explanation, but the real purpose is only known by the planner himself."

Cai Yan sighed.

"We need to have a talk with Chen Fan - a frank talk."

"what do you mean......"

"The person behind this is not a simple person. In Beijing, apart from us, there are not many people who are capable and qualified to do this kind of thing."

Gao Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he thought about those few names and identities.

"At this time, we cannot let chaos happen internally. No matter how much we want to punish Chen Fan, we have to wait until this matter is over. Otherwise, the court will definitely undergo changes that we cannot predict."

At this point, Cai Yan raised his voice.

"Someone is coming."

"master."

"Go, invite Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Revenue to come to my house for a chat."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after the servant left, Cai Yan was just about to cheer up and deal with government affairs when he heard a commotion and then a servant came running in.

"what happened?"

He frowned, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.

"Master, please go and have a look! The officials from the Dali Temple said that the Minister Wang had come to our house before he died, but the gatekeeper said he had not been there. They said that the gatekeeper was suspected of colluding with bandits and wanted to arrest him for interrogation."

"what!"

Cai Yanteng stood up, and Gao Cheng beside him also stood up immediately.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

When the two of them hurried to the front door, they saw that the guards of the mansion were empty-handed, facing the door with nervous faces.

But when they looked outside, they realized why the guards of Cai Mansion were in such a state.

In addition to the Dali Temple, there was also a whole team of Yulin Guards who came to arrest people.

Fortunately, they are the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion and are well-informed. If someone dared to confront them with a knife today, the Cai Mansion might be massacred immediately.

When he saw the leader, Cai Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Eunuch Zheng, this is..."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Prime Minister."

Eunuch Zheng glanced indifferently at Gao Cheng behind Cai Yan, then bowed to Cai Yan.

"The man has been arrested. Why is he staying here? His Majesty took into consideration that the man he arrested was your gatekeeper, so he specially asked me to come and tell you. His Majesty believes that you will not do anything stupid, but after all, this case is too serious. From His Majesty to the court and the people, everyone needs an explanation - so it's better for you not to interfere in the matter of arresting people."

Cai Yan tried hard to control his expression, took off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Eunuch Zheng.

"Please explain clearly, this arrest order——"

"Master Cai, please don't make things difficult for our family."
