Han Shuolin is a very kind old man who often has a faint smile on his face. His forehead is more protruding than that of ordinary people, which looks a bit strange, but it is actually a symbol of wisdom, because many ancient sages have such foreheads.
However, only those who know Han Shuolin well know that as the head of the Han Fei family and a great Legalist scholar, Han Shuolin can be quite strict at times, especially when it comes to disputes over the holy way. He once shattered the literary courage of three people at a literary meeting.
Fang Yun stood up from behind the desk, asked Han Shuolin to sit on the soft chair on the side of the study, and then began to make tea.
As soon as the spiritual tea flower flame collected from the Blood Ray Realm was brewed, flames spurted out of the spout of the teapot, like a blooming flower, and a strong sound filled the air.
Han Shuolin raised his lips slightly, sniffed lightly, and said, "I have been running around for days, and even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Why don't you give me this can of Flower Flame Spirit Tea?"
Fang Yun smiled and pushed the spiritual tea in his hand in front of Han Shuolin, saying: "I will go to the Blood Mang Realm again on October 15th and get some more spiritual tea then. This last can is for you."
The two of them did not continue talking, but quietly tasted the spiritual tea. The whole room was filled with the energy of heaven and earth, and the aroma of tea was in the air.
After finishing the last cup of Huayan, Han Shuolin put down his teacup, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "I have already found out the whole story, and marked the main culprit and several accomplices with my literary courage. However, I suggest you stop at the right time, otherwise, I am afraid it will intensify the conflict between the two countries."
Hearing the word "intensified", Fang Yun immediately understood and said, "The murderer is in the territory of Qing? It seems that my previous speculation is correct. Xiangzhou originally belonged to Qing, and most of the spirit beast dealers in Xiangzhou are from Qing. People in Xiangzhou have also captured spirit beasts, but the spirit beast dealers in Qing colluded with the government and caught all the spirit beast dealers in Xiangzhou."
Han Shuolin nodded slightly and said, "The main culprit is currently hiding in a villa of Prince Zai of Qing State. Prince Zai is not involved in this matter. His sixth son, Prince Yong, likes to fight spirit beasts. In order to conveniently select spirit beasts suitable for fighting, he raised several spirit beast merchants and dealt with spirit beast dealers."
Spirit beasts are much smarter than ordinary wild beasts and easier to tame than monsters, so many people enjoy fighting spirit beasts. There are even many secret arenas that are large in scale.
"That Prince Yong dared to take him in even though he knew that he was the main culprit who killed fifteen people from my Qing country?" Fang Yun's expression changed slightly.
Han Shuolin shook his head and said, "According to my secret investigation, the murderer only said that he was targeted by the government and took refuge with Prince Yong. He did not say that he killed the people of Qing. Prince Yong agreed immediately. If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause disputes between the two countries. You must think carefully. If the main culprit is anywhere in Jingguo, even in the house of the left prime minister, I will capture him and send him here. But the main culprit is in Qingguo, so I can't do it."
"You are a great scholar of the School of Legalism. You cannot do something that blatantly violates the laws of the Holy Academy and other countries."
Han Shuolin said, "Saint Fang Xu, you don't know that with the friendship between you and my Han family, it is not impossible to make an exception once in order to catch the murderer. The reason why I didn't do it this time is because I felt that I was being spied on. Either one of the four ministers of Qing Kingdom used the seal of the prime minister, or the King of Qing used the jade seal to inspect the world."
Fang Yun said: "I didn't expect that they would even want to stop me from doing something like this."
"The hatred of the Yueyang Tower Literary Gathering is too deep to be resolved." Han Shuolin said.
Fang Yun nodded and was about to speak when he noticed that Han Shuolin's expression changed.
Without waiting for Fang Yun to ask, Han Shuo Lin said: "The mark of Wen Dan that I left on the murderer was removed by a powerful force!"
Fang Yun's eyes flashed with anger, and then he said: "It must be that the King of Qing or one of the four ministers used the imperial seal or official seal to erase it with the power of Qing's national destiny. Otherwise, there is no great scholar in Qing who can erase your mark of literary courage!"
"Indeed. That's why I wanted to tell you on the way back that you can't rush into this matter. Maybe... wait a few years and take advantage of their laxity before arresting people from Qing Kingdom." Han Shuo Lin said.
Fang Yun said: "Even if the Four Prime Ministers took action, Qing Jun must have known about it. It is too late for me to arrest them now. I can only contact Qing Jun through formal channels and put pressure on him!"
"If they do this, they must be unafraid of your pressure." Han said Lin.
Fang Yun was silent for a moment, and then he made tea and drank it again, then he said: "The principal criminal is in Qing State, but the other accomplices may not be there, right?"
Han Shuolin said, "They are a beast hunting team. The main culprit is the leader, and the other members are twelve in total. Four of them are in Qing Kingdom, two fled to Qi Kingdom, four left Xiangzhou and went to Jiangzhou, and the remaining two went deep into Moyao Mountain. I did not search for the two in depth, fearing a conflict with the Moyao Mountain monsters and delaying the search for the main culprit. I used the Wendan mark on the six people who went to Qing Kingdom or Qi Kingdom. I can quickly track down the four people who went to Jiangzhou with the code."
Fang Yun immediately said, "Let's ignore the two people who went to Mount Moyao for now. Qiguo and Jingguo have no deep hatred with me. I will contact Qi Jun, and he will definitely help me arrest those two people. As for the four people who went to Jiangzhou, please ask Mr. Lin to arrest them personally. As for the five people in Qingguo, the main culprit is difficult to arrest, but I must not let the other four go!"
Han Shuolin immediately stood up and said, "There is no time to lose. I will send the aura of the Wendan mark into your Wengong, so that you can quickly find the four accomplices. I will go to Jiangzhou and arrest them myself!"
"Okay!" Fang Yun said.
Han Shuolin sent the aura of the Wendan mark into the outside of Fang Yunwen Palace and immediately left the study. Fang Yun first sent a letter to Qi Jun, asking Qiguo for help. Qi Jun replied quickly, promising to do his best and escort the criminal to Baling City as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Fang Yun contacted Dong Wencong, explained the situation, and then left Baling City and headed for Qing State.
During the flight, Fang Yun's talent surged, and he disguised himself as a university scholar from Shu who had been in seclusion for many years, in order to avoid being discovered by Qing.
Standing on the cusp of success, Fang Yun closed his eyes and focused his mind into the Wen Palace.
Fang Yun saw that there were four things similar to government orders floating slowly outside the Wen Palace.
Fang Yun attached his divine consciousness to a token, and then felt a faint reaction from more than 7,000 miles away.
Afterwards, Fang Yun sensed the four orders one by one, and the one seven thousand miles away was actually the closest, so Fang Yun used all his strength to activate Pingbu Qingyun.
Fang Yun's rapid rise to prominence was faster than that of an ordinary scholar, but even so, it still took him more than an hour to reach the location of the first accomplice.
Time passed slowly. As he was far away from the city, he could not receive any letters without the power of the temple. Fang Yun did not know how far Han Shuolin or Qi Jun had gone. He felt a little anxious, but soon returned to normal. He sat on Pingbu Qingyun and began to read.
Not long after, Fang Yun entered Qing Kingdom, immediately put away the books and began to be on alert. Although Qing Kingdom would not take action against the dignified Xu Sheng, it was very likely that they would play some shady tricks, which was hard to guard against.
