Chapter 30: The Thirty-eighth Year of Emperor Yuanfeng
sn't vain, but often, pomp and circumstance could speak volumes about one's capabilities.Even when he was still in the city by the river, he never cared about the Lin family's property. What he saw wa...Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, recalling the marquis who had been stripped of his clothes and beaten so badly he couldn't even stand at the ceremony. Finally, she digested the news and then said, "What Wu DaRen means is... it was Tian Xili who made the move back then How dare he"
Lin Youxie didn't answer directly, but instead said, "Wanling Tongsnow is not a naturally occurring poison. It's not even considered poison. It was first created because of a school of magic called San Jiu Hantian. This school of magic was powerful and strange, and the cultivation process was extremely difficult, with only one out of ten thousand cultivators able to succeed. But if Wanling Tongsnow was used as an aid, it could quickly achieve success."
Jiang Wang thought to himself, "This is similar to the introduction of skills in magic."
Lin Youxie continued, "The creation of Wanling Tongsue involves taking the fingertip blood of nine infants with completely different destinies. Then, you need the eyebrow blood of nine girls with distinct personalities, and the heart's blood of nine adults from different professions. Finally, infuse it with the souls of nine different creatures and melt them together using the secret method of Sanjiu Hanchan... In the end, it will form a single snowflake. Because the combination of materials is impossible to calculate with over ten thousand possibilities, it is called Wanling Tongsue."
This is a simple translation.
Later, people discovered that even without using it for the cultivation of the San Jiu Han Chan, just the Wan Ling Frozen Snow itself, once it came into contact with human blood, would instantly cause a cold poison to enter the body, leaving no chance of rescue. After that, it was considered a poison and ranked among the most toxic substances in the world. Each person's finished product is different.
“Once Wan Ling Dong Xue comes into contact with human blood, it can only be saved if a completely targeted antidote for Wan Ling Dong Xue is taken within three breaths. But even if someone recognizes Wan Ling Dong Xue, who could concoct the right antidote within three breaths Without knowing which of the nine types of destinies, personalities, professions, and creatures are involved, this cold poison cannot be resolved… Besides the one who refined Wan Ling Dong Xue, who else could know”
“Therefore, Wanling Frozen Snow is nearly impossible to counter, and every single piece in the world is unique.”
“In a critical moment, there are very few things left behind. I think the clue left by Lao Wu is saying - he found a Wanling Dongsue that perfectly matched the Lei Guifei case in Tian Xili's place. Or maybe he finally found evidence confirming that Tian Xili was the one who made that Wanling Dongsue.” Lin Youxie said: “And this, probably also the reason why he died.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wang couldn't help but remember the portrait of all beings in Changsheng Palace.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The observation of the myriad beings in the murals, is it not also a dissection of the coldness within Jiang Wuqi himself
And so, Prince Eleven, has he also been observing, which fingers' blood, whose brows' blood, whose heart's blood... have been refined into the cold poison that he was born with
Perhaps the cold poison had invaded his life, there was no cure, but even if it could alleviate just a little, giving him a step closer to understanding the truth, maybe there would be different results...
Jiang Wang sighed: "I suppose even if there were any evidence of the Wanling Frozen Snow, it would have been destroyed by now"
“So it is.” Lin Youxie said.
Originally, if I had that piece of evidence, I could have used the unique properties of Wanling Frozen Snow to pin down Tian Xili. But now the evidence is gone, and Ulie is dead as well...
In such a case, the most difficult thing is not the investigation. In terms of investigative ability, there are few in the world who can compare to Uriel. But this case, what's difficult is facing the people involved, that shadow that devours everything.
Though it was supposed to be a sunny day outside, he still felt like the night stretched endlessly before him.
"Things have come to this." Jiang Wang cheered up. "We already know that the assassin from back then was connected to the Dazawa clan. In the end, we've clarified the direction and locked onto our target. We investigate slowly, and they will eventually reveal themselves."
“It’s not.” Lin Youxie shook his head. “The person who assassinated Lei Guifei back then wasn’t from the Daze Tian clan.”
"Not a member of the Oze family" Jiang Wang felt a bit confused.
Lin Youxie said seriously: "The Dazed family should have provided the Wanling Frozen Snow, but the person who actually did it is unrelated to them."
"Wait, you mean the assassination of Lei Guifei back then was the result of cooperation between several parties" Jiang Wang said sharply. "For something as big as a family being destroyed with just one misstep, how could they divide it into several groups to do This is unreasonable and definitely not a smart choice."
From the perspective of the assailant, assassinating someone as prominent as Lady Lei was a matter that required minimal involvement and simplicity. The fewer people involved, the lower the risk of leaks. Each additional person introduced an element of exposure, increasing the chances of being caught.
"This is also what makes me suspicious," Lin Youxie said, "But the evidence we have is like this. Evidence does not lie."
Jiang Wang pressed his forehead: "No... If the person who assassinated Lei Gui Fei back then had nothing to do with the Daze Tian family, why did Wu Lie senior investigate the Tian family for so many years"
“Because of my father,” Lin Youxie said. “When my father investigated the assassination of Empress Lei, he personally arrested someone. Later it turned out that he had arrested the wrong person, but that person had already died in prison. The Northern Guard suffered immense pressure as a result, and afterward...that’s how the news of my father’s ‘suicide from guilt’ came about.”
“The man my father captured was named Tian Fen. He belonged to the Dazawa Tian clan. At the time, he was the deputy general of the Imperial City Guard's North Gate, responsible for the security of the nine city gates on the north side of Linzi. When Empress Lei was assassinated, he was drinking at a brothel. Later investigations proved that he was completely absent and had nothing to do with the assassination of Empress Lei; he was completely innocent...”
How could such an innocent person die in prison
Jiang Wang said, “Everyone says your father arrested the wrong person and then committed suicide out of guilt. But Uncle Wu doesn't believe he would commit suicide out of guilt, and he doesn't believe he arrested the wrong person... So for all these years, he has never given up on investigating the Tian family”
"Now the clues from the Wanling Frozen Snow have made everything clear," Lin Youxie said seriously. "My father certainly didn't arrest the wrong person back then, it's just that the evidence was destroyed at the time."
Looking at Lin Youxie's determined expression, Jiang Wang suddenly remembered that when they were overseas, Lin Youxie had once lost control of his emotions because he questioned Lin Youxie if he would ever make a mistake...
It turns out there was such a story.
For so many years that Lin Qing's innocence was denied, she worked tirelessly to solve cases, never minding the danger, all just to rebuild the reputation of the Blue Card family... not wanting to "mistakenly arrest" anyone again.
“I still don’t understand.” Jiang Wang said softly. “Since you are certain that the Tian family has a problem, why do you insist that the assailant is unrelated to the Dazi Tian clan”
“After my father’s death, the case was shelved. Grandpa Wu tried several times to reopen the investigation, but he was rejected and had to resign. During that time, he went into hiding and traveled to many places…”
Lin Youxie said: "Old Wu discovered that the assassin who attacked Lei Gui, was seen at the same tavern as He Fu before the incident. Of course, no one saw them talking. But this in itself constitutes a clue."
"Lord He," Jiang Wang said, "So you determined back then that the current empress was the true culprit"
>
“No,” Lin Youxie shook his head. “You don’t understand He Fu, this man is mediocre in talent and lacks the ability to carry out such a large-scale operation. The assassin's only appearance in public was at the same inn as He Fu… it’s obvious that it was a frame-up. So precisely at that time, Old Wu removed the current Empress from the suspect list.”
“Who could have guessed” she said, her expression a touch bitter. “Grandfather Wu initially suspected the current Empress, because not many people in the palace could erase all traces. After analysis and verification, he ruled her out. It wasn’t until Feng Gu used suicide again to emphasize to us… that the true culprit behind the scenes was the Empress.”
Jiang Wang pondered, "The fact that the assassin and He Fu appeared at the same inn might be a feint by the current Empress. Perhaps she used He Fu's foolishness to make people believe this was a frame-up, thus clearing her own suspicion."
>
"Thinking back now, there was a possibility..." Lin Youxie said, "But Grandpa Wu could only investigate alone at the time..."
"The assassin who killed Lei Guifei was an unknown person with no background. They were never identified, and they died at the scene, leaving no trace to follow."
But this itself is also a clue.
Before taking action, the killer did not contact anyone except for that one time at the tavern and left no trace of his existence in the world.
It's not something that can be cultivated by just any force.
They must be assassins raised by a powerful clan or influential sect.
Of course, there are many forces in the world that could meet this requirement. However, narrowing it down to the Eastern Region, and even to the state of Qi, there aren't many left.
Jiang Wang replied, "The Tian family is certainly one of them."
"The Lei family is the same too." Lin Youxie said.
>
“The assassin entered from the Wuning Gate in the afternoon. All the palace guards at the gate were executed afterward. If there were any clues, they should have been extinguished. But we found out that the leader of the palace guards at the time was surnamed Zhang. He had a two-year-old son who had gone missing before the incident.”
Lin Youxie said, "We found this boy... he grew up in the Lei family and is now the deputy commander of the Lei family's guards."
It has to be said that Ule and Lin Youxie's years of hard pursuit have not been in vain.
Especially Wulie, under the circumstances of leaving behind the support of Qingpai, single-handedly uncovering so many things, absolutely deserves the title of "one generation famous detective."

But Jiang Wang only felt that he had once again fallen into chaos: "Why would the Lei family want to kill Lei Guifei"

Lin Youxie looked at him and asked, "What if she's not dead"
This line should be indented to show that it's part of a code block. Here is the translation:Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As if a bolt of lightning had struck the night sky!
What if... Lady Lei Guifei hadn't died
Nobody would believe that a pregnant woman would design such a dangerous assassination plot herself.
So, what if she didn't die
Then the fact that the assassin and He Fu appeared in the same restaurant is enough to cast suspicion on the current empress.

That year was the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Yuanfeng's reign.
>
Three years ago, just as the news of the former prince being imprisoned in Qing Shi Palace broke, Jiang Wu Liang completely bid farewell to the throne, with no chance of ever regaining it.
The current Crown Prince also came to power in the second year of when the former Crown Prince was imprisoned in Qing Shi Palace, which was the 36th year of Emperor Yuanfeng.
By the time of Empress Dowager Yuan Fen's thirty-eighth year, when the assassination of Lei Gui Fei occurred, Jiang Wu Hua had only been crown prince for two years. His position as heir apparent was not secure... Let alone back then, even until today, Jiang Wu Hua's position as crown prince can hardly be described as unshakeable.
Here is your translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Otherwise, how did the subsequent Hua Ying Palace, Yangxin Palace, and Changsheng Palace come to be built
So, if at this time, Lady Lei was assassinated but survived, miraculously saving her child
How enraged the Emperor must be!
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
After the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince... it seems like it was all just a matter of time.
Then, does Lei Gui concubine have a chance to become empress
Does Lei Guifei's child have a chance of becoming the crown prince
Of course!
If it was Lady Lei Guifei who designed the assassination, then of course she could erase all traces. Of course, she could give the assassin a suitable opportunity within the heavily guarded palace.
>
Think about how bold this plan is!
When the emperor was leading his troops in a campaign, Empress Consort Lei became pregnant and prepared to give birth. At this crucial moment, a shocking assassination occurred that shook the Eastern Regions. The current empress was implicated...
Once you slip up, it's a double fatality. If discovered, death is the least of your worries.
This is a gamble with one's life for a higher position!
"Ke Lei貴妃 died in the end, after all…" Jiang Wang said with a strange emotion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"So why does Feng Gu believe that the current empress is the real culprit" Lin Youxie said, "Because Lei Gui Fei wanted to frame the empress, but she's not someone who can be manipulated at will, let alone someone Lei Gui Fei could scheme against. With a little effort, she turned Lei Gui Fei's faked death into a real one!"
Jiang Wang whispered, "For example, on the assassin's blade, secretly apply Wan Ling Frozen Snow..."
“And the one who actually carried out this operation was the Tian family.” Lin Youxie said dejectedly, “I only figured everything out last night.”
...Yes, yes!
This reconstruction of Lin Youxie's case is largely based on speculation. There are very few pieces that can truly be considered evidence, because most of it has been destroyed.
But Jiang Wang had already believed it.
Because he had one piece of information here that Lin Youxie didn't know—that Jiang Wuqi had also investigated the old case from seventeen years ago, and, relying on his identity and resources far superior to Ollie's, he had quickly gotten results, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Why the silence
Only today's Lin Youxie case details can explain this!
Because the entire assassination case was designed by Lei Guifei herself.
Lei Gui Fei was bold and reckless, she schemed an assassination but her abilities were limited. She faced a formidable opponent far beyond her reach, and was outmaneuvered. Ultimately, her own schemes led to her death, resulting in the child she carried being born with a deadly cold poison within its very life!
At the very end of her life, Lady Lei struggled desperately that winter night, pouring all her effort into protecting the child in her womb...
At that time, her mood...was despair, or guilt
Please note: The original content was empty. I have preserved the HTML tag as requested.
But regardless of everything, her love for the child in her womb was genuine.
Jiang Wuki had uncovered the truth, but he was unwilling to blame his foolish mother again after seventeen years! Even if uncovering this case could bring down the Empress and create an opportunity for him to vie for the throne.
Later, whenever the emperor mentioned Lady Lei Guifei, it was always with fond remembrance.
When the case is truly opened, how will the emperor think How will the emperor speak And how will he treat the Lei family
Therefore, on the tombstone in that painting of all beings, there was only "The deceased has passed away."
Now that the person is dead, what else can Jiang Wuqidi saye practically dancing on Qu's face.Once the imperial court of QuGuo knew that Hell's Gate was currently in YuGuang City, one could only imagine the fierce reaction...Of course, it's just wishful think...
