Chapter 203: Foresight

Foresight

The Underworld King Order, the front is the target's name, the back is the buyer's name!

Long Jingyun was so shocked he couldn't speak. But then Leng Tianfang grabbed the Underworld King Order, put it back into his bosom, and looked at Long Jingyun coldly.

Leng Tianfang didn't speak. But meeting his eyes, Long Jingyun immediately covered his mouth, which was wide open in surprise, and nodded.

"Don't worry, Uncle Leng, I will absolutely not say anything! This is the rule, I understand!"

If Long Jingyun were not a member of the palace, or even more, not the son of Sheng Ziyan and Long Zhantian, Leng Tianfang would have already killed him to silence him. Long Jingyun naturally understood this principle, and then he made a gesture of sealing his lips!

Seeing this, Leng Tianfang withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice,

"I'm leaving."

"Oh, take care, Uncle Leng. By the way, don't forget to tell my mother when you go back, just say..."

Knowing that Leng Tianfang was leaving, Long Jingyun didn't forget to nag a bit. But before he could finish his sentence, Leng Tianfang had already disappeared without a trace.

Jinshui Town was Jin Qi's hometown, and this graveyard was the ancestral graveyard of the Jin family!

Now, the Jin family had been cleared of their grievances, but the Jin family had no successors. Emperor Shuncheng then ordered Yin Fengzhan, who was a relative of the imperial family, to come here in person to send the ashes of Jin Qi and the Jin family members back here, which could be considered returning to their roots and highlighting the vast imperial grace!

But in Nie Jinxuan's view, all of this was ridiculous. The people were gone, and they were still talking about imperial grace?! It was just for the sake of appearances!

Of course, Nie Jinxuan only thought about this in her heart. Knowing that Yin Fengzhan was coming, she followed along. After all, even if Yin Fengzhan didn't come, Nie Jinxuan would have come herself.

At this moment, looking at the tombstones engraved with the Jin surname one by one, Nie Jinxuan felt a blockage in her heart. At this time, Yin Fengzhan had already ordered people to bury the ashes of Jin Qi and his family members, and then burned incense to pay respects. After everything was done, Yin Fengzhan came to Nie Jinxuan's side.

"It's almost done."

Yin Fengzhan spoke in a low voice. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan pressed her lips together slightly, then followed Yin Fengzhan to a tombstone and stopped.

Then, Nie Jinxuan raised her head and saw that on the tombstone in front of her, there were several large characters written:

Tomb of the beloved son, Jin Jingyuan.

Clearly, this was the tombstone Jin Qi had set up for his son Jin Jingyuan years ago. Looking at the tombstone, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but press her lips together and said,

"Back then, Jin Jingyuan was the son Jin Qi valued most, but who would have thought that the old would bury the young. Jin Qi's mood at that time was truly unimaginable..."

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan sighed on her own, then said to the servants beside her,

"Alright, let's begin!"

"Yes!"

Responding respectfully, the servants who followed behind began to move the tombstone away and started digging the grave with shovels...

But just then, the servants who had only dug a few times suddenly stopped. Then, a servant ran quickly to Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan and said,

"Your Highness, Third Miss, we just found this under the grave!"

The servant said, and then brought the thing in his hand to Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan. Nie Jinxuan looked closely and saw that it was an iron box.

Suddenly, Nie Jinxuan felt a bit strange. After all, how could this thing be placed under Jin Jingyuan's tombstone? Nie Jinxuan frowned and was about to reach out to take the iron box... but just then, Yin Fengzhan took the iron box first and handed it to Zhongli beside him.

"Open it!"

Clearly, Yin Fengzhan's concerns were thorough. After all, a mysterious iron box had appeared out of nowhere, and no one knew what was inside. If there were any hidden weapons or poisons hidden inside, wouldn't it hurt someone?!

At this moment, seeing Yin Fengzhan hand the iron box to him, Zhongli had a few black lines on his face, but he still took it without hesitation and opened the iron box neatly.

"Your Highness, there is a letter..."

There were no hidden weapons or poisons in the iron box, but there was a letter. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan's eyes turned to glance at it, but the moment he saw the letter, he couldn't help but frown.

As it turned out, on the envelope, Nie Jinxuan's name was actually written!

And those three characters, Nie Jinxuan, were written in a graceful and elegant hand, clearly from the hand of a woman, and a very talented woman at that!

Seeing this, a flash of light appeared in Yin Fengzhan's eyes. At this time, Nie Jinxuan also saw the letter with her name on it. She reached out and took the letter. After looking at it back and forth, she opened the envelope and took out the letter inside!

But the moment she saw the letter, Nie Jinxuan was stunned.

"It's Second Sister!"

Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but exclaim. She raised her eyes to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her, then cast her gaze back to the letter, and saw that the letter read:

Jinxuan, when you see this letter, I just want to say one thing to you: thank you!

I know that the moment I had the heart for revenge, my ending could only be one: death! But I have no regrets. And I also know that Jingyuan must hate me, because he was so kind, so he must not be able to accept such a vicious me, but I really couldn't control the resentment in my heart. It was like the most ferocious poisonous snake, a devil that confuses people's hearts, step by step making me unable to struggle! Because I hate, I hate everyone who hurt Jingyuan, so they must die, even if it means sacrificing this life, even if it means entering the eighteenth level of hell, even if Jingyuan will hate me, I will not hesitate!

It's just, Jinxuan, I hurt you, because you trusted me so much. And I used your trust, but I had no choice, I had to send those villains to hell one by one. Let them also experience the suffering Jingyuan once endured!

Of course, I am writing this letter not to hope for your forgiveness, Jinxuan, but to tell you that the Jin family case is by no means as simple as it is now!

Actually, from the very beginning, I should have thought that Jingyuan's death was by no means that simple. It's just that at the time, my heart was only thinking of revenge, and I ignored the big picture. And when I realized later that there was something else behind the scenes, I discovered that the whole thing was far, far bigger than I had imagined!

Later, I tortured Huang Boqi and Wang Tianhai, and found the account books from the clues they provided. And I also knew that by doing this, I must have already attracted the attention of the person behind the scenes. But at this time, I could no longer turn back, and I didn't want to turn back. With my ability and strength, I couldn't investigate to the end, so no matter what, I had to find the most appropriate time to hand the account books to you!

But at the same time, I know your temperament too well, Jinxuan. You are so kind and so upright, so according to your personality, you will definitely hand the account books to the Emperor later. But you are wrong, Jinxuan, the Emperor is not a god, he has his considerations, he has his court, and he has his concerns. So even if the account books are handed to the Emperor, the Emperor will not handle this matter completely fairly!

The Emperor might even use his own thoughts to take this opportunity to eliminate the people he wants to eliminate and the forces he wants to eliminate. And the truth will be forever sealed in darkness, known to no one!

So Jinxuan, at the same time I decided to hand the account books to you, I made another copy, and what you handed to the Emperor later was just a copy. But the real account books were left by me in this iron box. Because I know that no matter how the Emperor uses this incident, the Jin family will definitely be cleared of their grievances.

Then, in order to save face, the Emperor will also build a memorial hall for the Jin family, so you will definitely come to bury me and Jingyuan together! Therefore, only you will be able to see this iron box and see this account book!

Of course, Jinxuan, you must remember that I left this real account book for you, not because I want you to go back and settle scores with the Emperor immediately, because that would be like throwing an egg against a rock. It is because according to the Emperor's approach, after the matter is over, the Emperor will definitely have people destroy the previous account book, so you will not be able to investigate the truth again. So, I left the account book for you, the purpose is just to hope that you will keep this account book well, Jinxuan, and then slowly find out who the person behind the scenes is!

After all, the Emperor will not want the Jin family case to drag on for too long. And the people below naturally know this too. But they all forgot that since the person behind the scenes could successfully deceive Pei Yaoguang and the Emperor back then, how could they be caught so easily in a short time?!

Moreover, my investigation has already alerted the person behind the scenes, so I can say for sure that no matter whose head the Emperor cuts off in the future, that person will definitely not be the real culprit! It will just be a pawn!

Abandoning the chariot to save the commander is the usual practice of such cunning people!

So Jinxuan, you must remember, no matter what, you must find that person behind the scenes. Because you are too smart, Jinxuan, and you are fearless! And your intelligence and fearlessness will be the greatest threat to that person behind the scenes, so according to that person's secretive thoughts and schemes, the other party cannot keep you. Even if this matter passes, you have already become a thorn in that person's side, so if you don't find the other party, you will definitely be harmed by them in the future!

Remember, remember!

In addition, I want to tell you, Jinxuan, that Jin Jingwen is not dead. Back then, I used a plan to let Jingwen escape, and at the same time, I swapped out the newborn son of the eldest brother of the Jin family, Jin Jingxian, Jin Yuliang, who was still in swaddling clothes, and sent him to a small temple in the mountains twenty miles outside the capital.

But, Jinxuan, you must remember, until you have completely found the real mastermind, do not let anyone know Yuliang's whereabouts. Yuliang is the only bloodline of the Jin family, so you must protect him, otherwise, even if I die, I will not be able to close my eyes! As for your affairs, I have already told Jingwen. If I am harmed by that mastermind in the future, Jingwen will definitely come to help you.

I have said so much, but I hope you will be careful in everything, Jinxuan. Remember, do not trust anyone.

Nie Jinhui had written a full four pages. After reading it all, Nie Jinxuan was already shocked and speechless, and tears immediately flowed down.

At this moment, Yin Fengzhan, who had also finished reading, pressed his thin lips together and directly put the account book wrapped in cowhide paper from the iron box into Nie Jinxuan's hand. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan finally snapped back to her senses, but just as she was about to speak, Yin Fengzhan interrupted her directly.

"We'll talk when we get back!"

After saying that, Yin Fengzhan didn't wait for Nie Jinxuan to answer, took the letter from her hand, took out a fire starter from his bosom, and burned the letter in the iron box!

In an instant, the fire was raging, and in a short while, the churning flames swallowed the letter, finally turning it into a pile of ashes!

Everything turned into nothingness. Yin Fengzhan then had Zhongli dispose of the iron box, then stood up on his own, ordered people to continue digging the grave, and finally put Nie Jinhui's ashes in according to the rules!

Just as Nie Jinhui said herself, she was not a kind woman. But she was a woman of deep affection. For Jin Jingyuan, she turned into a demon, and for the Jin family, she sacrificed her life, so even if her crimes were too numerous to record, she was qualified to enter the Jin family's ancestral grave. I believe that the ancestors of the Jin family, if they have spirits in heaven, will also accept this daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family! What's more, if it weren't for her, Nie Jinhui, Jin Jingwen would not be alive, let alone Jin Yuliang, the only bloodline of the Jin family!

Subsequently, under Yin Fengzhan's arrangement, the burial of Nie Jinhui and Jin Jingyuan was successfully completed. Then the two returned directly to the inn where they were staying in the town.

As soon as they returned to the room, Nie Jinxuan bathed and changed her clothes. But just as Nie Jinxuan had finished dressing, Yin Fengzhan walked in.

Yin Fengzhan had also just finished bathing. He had taken off the dark purple python robe embroidered with gold thread and put on a lighter white shirt. Against his tall figure and peerlessly handsome appearance, he lacked a bit of his usual dominance and coldness, and had a bit more of an otherworldly and elegant air!

Seeing Yin Fengzhan arrive, Nie Jinxuan immediately dismissed Xiao Xiu and Shui Yun. After the two of them left, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Second Sister really is a smart woman!"

Nie Jinxuan spoke in a low voice. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan only glanced at her and then sat directly in the seat next to her.

"Hmm."

Actually, Yin Fengzhan didn't have much of a feeling for Nie Jinhui. When he first met her, he only felt that she was quite talented, but after several contacts, it made Yin Fengzhan intuitively feel that she was not as simple as she appeared on the surface!

For example, several times when Nie Jinxuan went to find her, Nie Jinhui was either reading or practicing calligraphy. At the moment she was reading or practicing, her expression was so calm, but in the blink of an eye, she became lively and cheerful... The change in the blink of an eye was so drastic, which made Yin Fengzhan feel a bit strange!

And it was precisely because of this that Yin Fengzhan suspected her from the very beginning. It was just that the other party had shrewdly used Nie Jinxuan, causing Nie Jinxuan to stubbornly favor her.

But in any case, Nie Jinhui was indeed smart. This was an indisputable fact!

Yin Fengzhan didn't speak. At this moment, Nie Jinxuan was also secretly immersed in sadness. After a long while, Nie Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened her expression and said,

"However, it's useless to say these things now, Second Sister is already gone. And now she and Jin Jingyuan are buried together, which can be considered to have fulfilled her wish. But I really didn't expect that Second Sister would predict things so accurately, even predicting what would happen later! Even the Emperor..."

Judging from the time of the letter found today, Nie Jinhui clearly wrote the letter shortly after discovering the account book. Therefore, she didn't write down some of the things that happened later, or even who was going to take action against her!

At the same time, Nie Jinhui was also very right about Emperor Shuncheng's thoughts. Although Nie Jinxuan didn't understand court affairs, she had seen the account book. Although she didn't remember everything, judging from the final result, it was clear that Emperor Shuncheng did not handle it completely according to what was written in the account book!

"That's right! The Emperor indeed had his own calculations this time! If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor only moved one-third of the people in it, while the remaining two-thirds, the Emperor did not move!"

Yin Fengzhan didn't say that in this incident, Emperor Shuncheng also took the opportunity to strike at several ministers who were attached to him, and this was clearly a warning to him! After all, he had beaten the Crown Prince last time. Although Emperor Shuncheng only made him kneel in the Imperial Ancestral Temple for a few days on the surface, in reality, he had listened to what Empress Duan had said back then!

So, thinking of this, Yin Fengzhan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. But then Yin Fengzhan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Nie Jinxuan beside him.

"Then what are your plans for what happens next?"

"Naturally, I want to investigate to the end!"

Nie Jinxuan replied to Yin Fengzhan without thinking, then her gaze sharpened.

"After all, just as Second Sister said, even if I don't investigate now, the person behind the scenes won't let me go, so why should I retreat?! Even if I take a step back and say that the person behind the scenes won't do anything to me, I won't let them go! I must make the truth known to the world, otherwise, the Jin family will not be truly cleared of their grievances! And only by finding that person behind the scenes will I know who killed Second Sister back then!"

Nie Jinxuan's words revealed an indescribable persistence and determination. But after speaking, she changed the subject.

"However, Fengzhan, there is one thing I want to ask of you!"

"Are you talking about Jin Yuliang?"

"Yes!"

Knowing that Yin Fengzhan understood her heart, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, then smiled slightly.

"Second Sister sent Jin Yuliang to a temple outside the capital, which is a good hiding place. But just in case, I hope you can send someone to protect him secretly!"

"Hmm, I know!"

Nodding in response, without any hesitation, Yin Fengzhan looked at Nie Jinxuan quietly and said,

"That person behind the scenes is cunning and deceitful, so don't be too rash. I will also send people to investigate secretly!"

Yin Fengzhan looked serious. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan curled her lips into a smile.

"Okay, I know~!"

Nie Jinxuan's smile was charming, adding an indescribable charm to her usual elegant and orchid-like demeanor. Suddenly, seeing this, Yin Fengzhan's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he reached out towards her.

"Come here!"

See you tomorrow! ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
