He is also looking for answers.

 Time is moving forward hard, Jiang Wang is practicing hard while waiting for news.

Shadow Guard’s investigation into Gongsun Yu’s Duanji incident, Lin Youxie’s investigation into Bajiao Island’s owner Gu Xing…

Jiang Wang doesn’t have to do everything by himself, and leaves professional matters to professional people. Extraordinary strength is his foundation.

 So wait, so practice.

 But the first one to come to the door was Zheng Shangming.

It is the winter month, and the frost and wind are already cold.

 Everyone in the Jiang family, from the housekeeper to the doorkeeper, put on brand new cotton clothes.

 The mental outlook is completely renewed.

 At least he has the appearance of a wealthy family.

Zheng Shangming came riding on the new wind. He was well-dressed and neat, and his majesty in his temperament became more and more obvious. After operating in Beiyali for so long, he gradually took over Zheng Shi's authority.

 Any new Beiya Captain who is not recognized by his father and son will have a hard time getting rid of their influence in Beiya.

But at the same time, Jiang Wang had no doubt that if he took over the position of Captain of Beiya, he would work very happily with him.

 Because Zheng Shangming is now a qualified successor and a sober enough person.

 Understand very well what should be done and what should not be done.

Zheng Shi is a person with excellent sense of proportion, and he can definitely find the point where all parties are comfortable.

 It’s just that sometimes I feel inexplicably sorry that the original Zheng Shangming can no longer be seen.

 Recalling the past is like the wind blowing in the south tower.

Jiang Wang put on his green shirt, and in the independent courtyard, a fire flower appeared and died at his fingertips.

 The detailed explanation of "Fireworks Burning the City" flows slowly in my heart.

Taking only "Fire Flowers" as an example, Jiang Wang has yet to see several Taoist arts of the same level that can rival this Taoist art created by Zuo Guanglie.

 As the basis of Fireworks Burning the City, it can almost be said to have constructed Zuo Guanglie’s fire-moving Taoism system.

In terms of this technique, Jiang Wang has already bloomed his own flowers and injected his unique vitality. Therefore, his fireworks burning the city must be different from Zuo Guanglie's.

Zheng Shangming stepped into the courtyard and saw this flower of flames that was constantly growing and dying. His most intuitive feeling was "beauty", and then he was amazed by its vitality.

“Your fireworks should have surpassed Zuo Guanglie’s, right?” He couldn’t help but ask.

 The flames at the fingertips returned to a spark and fell into the fingertips again, without wasting any energy.

"Only at this level, there are limits. They are all at that position. It cannot be said to be super or not. When it comes to more advanced applications, it is still far away." Jiang Wang looked at Zheng Shangming: "It seems that there is something wrong with this.

You are already 100% sure about the case."

“Eighty percent.” Zheng Shangming said, “There is still a little bit of key evidence missing.”

 “Then I want to congratulate you.” Jiang Wang said.

Zheng Shangming asked back: "Shouldn't it be me who congratulates you?"

Jiang Wang was in the courtyard, extending his hand to invite him to sit down: "I have always thought that maybe Lin Youxie found out the truth first."

"We could have excluded Lin Youxie from the case. But..." Zheng Shangming sat down and said quietly: "Although the four major Qingpai families have disappeared, they are the cornerstones of the Qingpai system in the first place. The remaining influence is not

Look down. Even the emperor feels that they should be given an explanation, especially our Beiya."

“What you call an explanation is to let her participate in the case that she should have participated in?” Jiang Wang sat opposite him and asked softly.

There is a small stove standing on the stone table, and a pot of tea is boiling on the stove, and the steam is rising.

"It's hard not to admit that if Beiya didn't nod, she wouldn't even have a chance to find the truth." Zheng Shangming said this very coldly, but it was indeed a heavy fact.

"Are you so sure that you will be able to find the truth before her?" Jiang Wang said: "Lin Youxie has a death wish. How dare you look down on a person who acts with a death wish?"

“That was her choice.” Zheng Shanming said quietly, looking at Jiang Wang: “Brother Jiang, I just want to know your choice.”

It should be said that after Zheng Shangming took the initiative to express his goodwill in the capital inspection office, until now, he and Jiang Wang have been getting along happily, and can even be called "friends".

On the contrary, Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie had a lot of disagreements before.

Lin Youxie has been holding on to Jiang Wang from the beginning. Because of the suspicion that there is no way to hell, he wants to find evidence immediately and nail Jiang Wang to the sky prison.

 For a long time, Jiang Wang stayed away from Lin Youxie.

 But at this moment.

Jiang Wang could only say: "Brother Zheng, I can't take the position of Captain of Beiya."

Zheng Shangming didn't seem very surprised. After all, Jiang Wang had been hesitating about this issue for too long.

 But he still asked: "Why?"

Jiang Wang looked up at the clouds on the horizon and asked with some emotion: "Brother Shang Ming, you said that the position of Captain and Inspector of the Capital Inspection Office represents what exactly does it mean? Is it power or responsibility?"

Zheng Shangming didn't think much about it and answered directly: "It represents the huge power to control the Qing Pai system. As for the rights and responsibilities...the rights and responsibilities are integrated. If you control the Qing Pai, you must bear the responsibilities of the Qing Pai."

Jiang Wang asked again: "So what is Qingpai's responsibility? Of the four words 'inspection captain', which one is more important, 'inspection inspection' or 'duwei'?"

"I think I understand what you mean." Zheng Shanming said slowly: "You have to choose the so-called truth. But Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about, 'eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor'? The Capital Inspection Office is

It is directly under the emperor, not your fiefdom in Qingyang Town. The position of patrol captain...the important thing is not 'inspection' or 'commander', but the unwritten word."

Jiang Wang let out a long sigh of relief and said calmly: "So I can't sit in this position anymore."

Zheng Shangming looked at him: "Brother Jiang, I have always admired you and know that you are a determined person. But today I want to sincerely advise you that the emperor's trust in you is known to the world. Have you ever thought about it?

, how disappointed will the emperor be if you refuse this position? What you refuse is not only the captaincy of Beiya, but also the opportunity to express your loyalty to the emperor. Do you know that your future career may very well be because of your choice today?

And promotion is difficult?”

 Of course Jiang Wang knows.

 Even if he didn’t know, Chong Xuan Sheng had already told him about it.

But he just said calmly: "Qi is a big country, and there should be enough space to accommodate all kinds of people. If not, I don't think it is my loss."

Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment and said, "Although I don't agree with it, I respect your choice."

 He sighed: "Brother Jiang, sometimes I feel that you are really an enviable person."

"What do I have to envy?" Jiang Wang chuckled: "I am alone and have no pride. You are a third-rank official. How many people listen to what you say?"

“People will always envy those who they cannot be.” Zheng Shangming pursed his lips and said, “Brother Jiang, I’ll take my leave now.”

 He got up and walked out.

 When I was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, I heard Jiang Wang’s voice coming from behind me.

"Brother Zheng. Speaking of which, when you were manipulated by Wen Lianmu's setup...if I killed you by mistake at Cuma Mountain, which would trigger the anger of your father, Captain Beiya. Have you ever thought about it?

Do you need the truth?"

 Zheng Shangming stopped.

 “I’ve thought about it, I’ve thought about it very seriously.”

 He said: "What I'm thinking is, I need power."

 He just stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with his back to Jiang Wang.
