Chapter 26: Unspoken Words

s a scourge to humankind. I am barely able to hold them back on my own. And you, with your exceptional talent and extraordinary abilities, are the perfect person to help rid the world of this evil!”“D...Jiang Wuki's last act in life was to use himself as bait, eradicating all the spies of the Equal Nation within the borders of Qi.

All of them, including Li Yu with the realm of divine presence and Yan Tu with the realm of profound truth, have been erased.

With such wisdom and fortitude, what kind of enemy could not be overcome

For the vengeance of his mother, why did he remain silent Why didn't he seek retribution

Deep hatred for the poison that invaded his life, why didn't he seek revenge

Even, why was Gongsun Yu allowed to leave on New Year's Eve last year

...the contradictory point is...

Yet, why did Feng Gu ultimately resort to death to expose the truth of that year

Jiang Wang pondered deeply, he vaguely felt that he was very close to the clue. But like seeing flowers through mist, there was always a layer of something separating him.

What is it

Jiang Wuqì, Feng Gu, G公孫 Yu, Yang Jìng...

Gongsun Yu...cut his tongue!

If one is unable to speak, it is called "dumb".

The gate in my mind, which had been firmly shut for so long, suddenly swung open.

Among those chaotic clues, a single thread suddenly became clear, leaping out before my eyes.

Jiang Wang turned and went out, immediately instructing the housekeeper to prepare the car and rush directly to Changsheng Palace.

He wished he could fly there directly, but being in Linzi at this delicate moment meant he had to follow protocol.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

His heart raced like a galloping horse, yet in the calm carriage, Jiang Wang's expression remained tranquil.

The more urgent the time, the more one requires stillness.

Stillness while safeguarding oneself, without losing one's true nature.

He even abandoned all distractions and began his cultivation.

In the practice of Taoist arts, time always flows with ease.

Changsheng Palace wasn't that far, it didn't take much time to get there.

Jiang Wang felt that her emotions had calmed down, so she lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Head straight for Changsheng Palace.

“Sir. According to the rules, someone must accompany you before you can enter.” The leading blue-plated constable blocked their way.

The blue-paved constables guarding outside Changsheng Palace had changed shifts. Of course, in Linzi, no blue-paved constable didn't know Jiang Wang. Even if they hadn't met him in person, they should have seen his portrait. Although it was their duty, they were still respectful and reverent.

Please note that I've removed the unnecessary "" from your input. If you have more text to translate, feel free to provide it!

Then you come in with me.” Jiang Wang said directly.

The leading officer shook his head: "None of us are qualified to enter the Changsheng Palace."

Please note that the content within the "" tags was empty. I have simply kept the HTML tags as they were. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang, whose mind was focused on the clues, suddenly realized at this moment that during the time the Changsheng Palace crime scene was sealed off, only he, Lin Youxie, and Zheng Shangming, the three Qingpai who were specifically responsible for the case, could enter.

It's not possible to enter alone, at least two people need to supervise each other.

Of course, he was fully capable of silently infiltrating Changsheng Palace, and those guards wouldn't even notice. But during this time of heightened tension, there was no need to break the rules.

Sometimes, the seemingly "shortcut" right in front of you can be an incredibly winding "long road".

If one were to stealthily infiltrate the Palace of Longevity, no matter what evidence was obtained in the end, it would be unreliable.

"Go and summon Zheng Shangming," Jiang Wang commanded directly. "Tell him I want him to come with me to gather evidence. If Zheng Shangming is unavailable, please invite Lin Youxie, the deputy envoy. In short, whoever you see first, please ask them. I'll be waiting here."

Given his current standing, few in the Qingpai system would dare to disobey him. Moreover, there are rumors circulating that he is about to be appointed as the Northern Palace Commandant.

Hardly had his voice fallen when a green-robed constable swiftly strode away, heading for the North Yamen to summon reinforcements.

Then, Jiang Wangze stood outside the palace gate. Not long after, his spirit sank into the sea and he began his cultivation.

Though time may be short, it is wasted if used for waiting, but always brings some gain if used for cultivation.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a great river is formed from countless streams. Even reaching the peak of excellence is achieved by climbing step by step from the foot of the mountain.

When Zheng Shangming arrived in a hurry, Jiang Wang just opened his eyes.

"What's wrong" Zheng Shangming asked.

Jiang Wang only said, "Go in and speak."

Of the three people responsible for this case, two were present, and the gate of Changsheng Palace thus opened.

The palace grew increasingly deserted, the air devoid of people.

Jiang Wang had a clear goal and walked directly towards the mirror screen depicting all beings.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Do you have any new discoveries" Zheng Shangming asked again.

Jiang Wang stood before the screen, carefully looking at the mural left by Jiang Wuqi. He remained silent.

Zheng Shangming then fell silent.

This panoramic view encompasses a multitude of figures and intricate scenes, virtually encapsulating Jiang Wuqidi's observations on humanity.

Anyone who takes a closer look can sense its extraordinary nature.

But if there were clues hidden inside, it would be a tangled mess, impossible to unravel without the right "key."

Jiang Wang had been thinking, hadn't he missed some clue He had studied the mural repeatedly before. But it wasn't until today that he thought of Gongsun Yu's severed tongue that he suddenly connected the dots.

In this scene of life, let alone those with complete limbs, there are also blind people talking incessantly to deaf people, deaf people gesturing wildly to the blind, and those without a sense of smell fishing by the river...

It can be said that it depicts all beings.

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But the so-called "deaf, blind, festering and mute, all four lacking" (yong), Jiang Wugui painted the appearance of all beings. If there are deaf, blind, and festering, how could he miss one "mute"

The answer is actually very simple. The place where the mute should be is in Jiang Wukui's "mute," which is his unspoken words!

And the mute's position is also easy to find, Jiang Wuqidi didn't deliberately hide it too deep.

Divide this image of sentient beings into nine squares.

The deaf and the blind are in the lower left corner of this painting, at the Gen Palace.

The pustule was situated in the center-right, at the Duì Palace. A small river flowed from the Duì Palace to the Qián Palace, extending beyond the picture's frame. On the riverbank, a farmer carried manure, while the pus-covered person held a fishing rod and stood by.

Based on the positions of the deaf and blind people in the entire picture as signposts, the position where the tumor is located should correspond to the location of the palace, which is the middle of the upper part of this painting.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And in this place, a desolate mountain range is depicted, stretching endlessly towards the edge of the frame.

Specifically, refer to the location of the pustule for precise correspondence. The exact position is on top of a desolate mountain...

A solitary grave!

This was an unassuming solitary grave. Jiang Wang had certainly seen it before, but only glanced at it in passing.

At this moment, fixing one's gaze on this spot and looking closely, one would notice a tombstone in front of the grave. The tombstone only bore four characters.

It differs from any other epitaph format.

These four words are exactly what Jiang Wuqi wanted to say.

It is carved with——

> The departed have passed.

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.

In his analysis, it seems to Gongsun Yu cutting his tongue was both a way to sever the truth of that year and a hint at the answer left by Jiang Wuki on the screen.

The person's muteness itself is a key.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Therefore, Jiang Wang naturally assumed that Jiang Wuqi had hidden the truth about the case from back then here.

But Jiang Wuqi merely left his choice here...

This is the tomb of Lady Lei.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"And the inscription on the tombstone, 'The deceased has passed away,' is Jiang Wuqi's choice, and also a warning to those who have pursued the truth thus far."

>

That deaf mute who wasn't drawn, was Jiang Wuqidi himself.

He painted the myriad beings in a picture, telling too many stories. When it was his turn, there was only a "stop"...

Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.

That assassination back then resulted in Lei Gui Fei's death, causing Jiang Wu Qi to be born with a cold poison within her life. It also led to the death of renowned hunter Lin Qing, and caused Lin You Xie to develop a phobia.

Its creation of a massive vortex, continued to pull people into it for seventeen years.

He gave up the readily available position of Beiyaguan Commander, choosing the word "truth" instead. It could also be seen as a way of thanking Jiang Wuqi for his camaraderie and seeking out the truth on his behalf.

But the truth of the case, Jiang Wuqi had long since found out.

This Eleventh Prince, chose silence.

This explains why Gongsun Yu left Changsheng Palace and why she told Yang Jing, "I fear I may find it hard to hold my tongue."

Gongsun Yu must have been one of the key members investigating the truth back then. After learning the truth, Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent and asked everyone to keep it a secret.

Gongsun Yu was worried that he couldn't keep the secret, so he proactively cut off his tongue and retreated to Biwu County at a young age.

What truth needs to be like this

That truth...

What exactly is it

Besides, Jiang Wang also made clear another key issue.

Feng Gu used suicide to retrace the old case, and it turned out that it was not Jiang Wuqi's decision.

More of that was Feng Gu's own doing.

Feng Gu was indeed loyal to Jiang Wuqi, but as a living person, he also had his own independent will.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

He said that Jiang Wuqi had already gotten what she wanted, and this was not false. He said that he hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, and this was also true.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wuqi chose to remain silent.

>

But he wanted Zhang Ming.

Why would he make a different choice than Jiang Wuqì

Perhaps the answer to this question will die with him, lost forever.

Perhaps he was still dwelling on the death of Lei貴妃, or maybe after Jiang Wuqi's death, he had already become emotionally numb and didn't want to think about politics anymore...

In short, that's how things happened.

While Jiang Wang needs to consider——

Do we still need to investigate the truth

The biggest victim and the most qualified person to pursue justice in the case of Concubine Lei's assassination has already made their choice!

“This painting is very complex and vivid.” Zheng Shangming asked at this time, “Is there any clue in it that you are looking for”

"As you can see, can't you" Jiang Wang asked back.

Zheng Shangming shook his head. "I don't understand."

He might be saying that he didn't understand the painting. Perhaps he didn't understand Jiang Wuqi's choice.

In short, regarding the truth about Concubine Lei's assassination, after Jiang Wang refused the position of Northern Patrol Cavalry Commander, he wouldn't share it with Jiang Wang anymore.

And the reason why Jiang Wang came to Changsheng Palace today without concealing it from Zheng Shangming, and even proactively invited Zheng Shangming to accompany him, was because he knew he couldn't hide it. He came to Changsheng Palace, Zheng Shangming would definitely follow, so he might as well be open and honest, without any concealment.

"Have you decided who will take over as the Northern Camp Commandant" Jiang Wang asked.

Zheng Shangming let out a wry smile: "Do you think my father has that much power This matter can't be decided by us shutting the door and talking about it a few times We found you because you can sit in this position, because you are Jiang Qingyang. Do you really think I can just name anyone and they will become..."

Jiang Wang didn't believe Zheng Shihui had no backup plan. Such a person who played the Qingpai system transparently and was as comfortable in Linzi as a fish in water, how could he put all his eggs in one basket

In the end, he refused the position of North Temple Attendant, and his friendship with Zheng Shuming came to a halt at the level of ordinary friends.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Wang turned and walked out.

"Shall we not look anywhere else" Zheng Shangming asked as he walked behind her.

"No need." Jiang Wang said, "The key to opening the truth is only missing the last one."

“I thought only Chongxuan Sheng liked playing riddles. Why don't you learn from him”

Zheng Shangming's voice was light, perhaps he was confident that Jiang Wang wouldn't get the last key, or perhaps he himself was closer to the truth.

All in all, his biggest concern right now is who will bridge the power vacuum between him and his father.

A mediocre person can't hold the position of Northern Garrison Commander, but a truly capable person usually has too much ambition. Once they are in power, they may turn around and dismiss him, not giving him a chance to succeed them.

The two of them only stayed at Changsheng Palace for a very short time, so short that the patrolmen outside the palace gates hadn't even finished their second topic of conversation.

Here is your translated text:

It was a long time, long enough for another blue-clad constable who had received the report to arrive outside Changsheng Palace.

"Master Zheng, latest news!"

This appears to be an incomplete HTML tag. Please provide more context or the full code snippet so I can assist you with a proper translation. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zheng Shangming hurried forward, taking the urgent message from the Qingpai constable's hand. He opened it and took a glance.

He hesitated for a moment, then handed the letter to Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang was rather curious. What urgent message would not require him to be kept in the dark He took it, unfolded it, and took a look—

“The retired divine hunter, Ule, is confirmed dead. His body was discovered in the waters near Haimen Island and has been expedited back to Linzi.”

Uriel is dead...

Did Urie just die like that

Thus, the once illustrious and renowned "South Wu North Forest" has come to nothing.

As for the news of Ule's death, Jiang Wang was surprisingly not surprised.

As early as when he knew that Urule was investigating Daizawa alone, and Tian Huanwen had already attacked Urule, Jiang Wang had a vague feeling that this day would come.

The path Urie walks is a one-way street.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

As the saying goes, life and death are no longer a concern.

It's just that Jiang Wang didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

It's been so many years.

Through countless storms and hardships, we have persevered. Yet, we falter at the precipice of truth's revelation.

“Who will pick up the body” Zheng Shangming asked.

The constable replied, “Yang Wutong was personally received by Yang Fushi, and the Prefect is awaiting the coffin at Beiya.”

Wule devoted most of his life to the Qingpai system. Only after Lin Kuang's death did he leave Qingpai. His contributions to the Qingpai system and the Beiyuan will never be erased.

Yang Weiting, a powerful inspectary deputy envoy, went to greet the body. The Northern Camp's Commandant personally guarded at the Inspectary Mansion, welcoming the coffin. This was also appropriate and expected.

Even though, strictly speaking, Wulie has been out of the system for many years and no longer wears his blue badge, who can deny that he is a totemic figure within the blue badge system

Even Mount Capture-Gods would be considered just an amateur's accomplishment before him.

To this day, there are too many rules and regulations in the Qing Dynasty's case handling, all set by the U-lie generation. Too many investigative methods still follow old practices. Among them, the influence of U-lie and Lin Kuang, two great detectives, is the greatest.

Ulelin and Xiang are well-known figures. Ulelin is much older than Xiang, but they are close friends who can be considered both teachers and companions.

relatively speaking, Ulee also enjoys a higher status within the Qingpai system.

The Inspection Department must definitely express a sufficient attitude towards Urie's death. All those with blue tokens hanging from their waists must definitely express sufficient respect to Urie himself.

This is not even about personal feelings, but a kind of inheritance of past history.

Zheng Shangming looked at Jiang Wang, his tone complex: "Let's go to Beiya together and wait."

"It's time to wait." Jiang Wang said.

However, he knew.

Ba Jiao Island Gu Xing's lead... should be broken.

That is to say, he and Lin Youxie lost the last key to unlocking the truth.
