Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 293: Replacer

In two days, various data gathered in Feinian's hands one after another.

First of all, in the registration information of the Shikao, there is nothing unusual about Shangguancai. She passed the exam at the Tomb of Lost Souls and ranked at the bottom. According to the Shangguan family's family background, she is unlikely to go to the border land to become an unknown eight-rank alchemist.

Secondly, the personnel file at the Privy Council of Jinxia did record the name "Shangguancai". Moreover, the identity and procedures are all in compliance with the rules, and the Ministry of Finance has also paid this person on time.

It can be said that there is nothing unusual about these documents. If it weren't for Shangguancai to reappear in Gyeonggi, it would not have attracted the attention of the reviewer.

But even so, this matter is only at the stage of imposter. An irritated person who failed the examination made a deal with another prospective alchemist to replace the latter to serve in the local Privy Council. Not to mention rare, but he couldn't get on the table. It was a waste of manpower and time on the investigation. .

——If this matter does not involve Jinxia City.

After all, of all the flaws found so far, this one is the closest to Xia Fan.

However, why does an inspired person who barely exceeds the pass line affect an elite alchemist like Xia Fan? He'er's calculation is by no means a rhetoric, there must be some specific reason for the rise in ranking.

"My lord, we found the person you wanted. She is in the execution hall of the command department now." A subordinate reported to him.

Fei Nian nodded, "I'll be there."

Maybe this replacement has nothing to do with Xia Fan, maybe he has found the wrong direction at the beginning, but at this time, he can only try his best and try his best.

He didn't want to disappoint His Royal Highness the second prince.

……

Two basins of charcoal fires burned in the Xingtang, setting off the gloomy room more closely.

This is the place where the commander used to rigorously interrogate prisoners. Various shackles and instruments of torture hung on the walls, making it chilling just to look at it.

The woman brought by her subordinates was sitting between the two braziers. Her hands were tied behind the chair. Although she struggled, she couldn't move. Because of the cloth in her mouth, she could only make a small whimper, and her wide-eyed eyes were full of panic and fear.

"How did you arrest people?" Feinian asked quietly after looking at her for a while.

"Back to the lord, the subordinates used her friend to pretend to ask her to have a party, and then moved their hands in the unmanned room."

"Very good. We don't have much time, we are fighting for a quick decision."

Before this, he had already touched the details of Shangguan's family thoroughly-the other party is six daughters in the family, who are very popular on weekdays, so they are arrogant, and they are also regarded as female sons in Gyeonggi. On weekdays, they often interact with other aristocratic women. Participating in activities such as poetry fairs, garden tours, etc., should not have experienced such battle.

Finian knew that without authorization, she couldn't really press a woman from a large family, and she couldn't even hurt her. Otherwise, once the disgust and resistance of this class is aroused, the subsequent unification work of the Privy Council will be greatly hindered.

That's why he chose a deterrent place like the torture room.

This inquiry must be completed before the Shangguan’s family becomes aware of the daughter’s accident.

Fei Nian strode to the other side, reached out her hand and pulled out the strip of cloth from her mouth, "Are you Shangguancai?"

"Where is this place!? Who are you? Why do you catch me?" She asked in a loud voice, emptying her mouth. Although the wording was very strong, the slight trembling tone exposed her inner fear.

Finian picked up a soldering iron in the brazier and shook it in front of her.

The latter closed his mouth immediately.

"From now on, I will only ask each question once. What is your name?"

"Shangguancai."

"Do you know you committed something?"

"I..." She hesitated, but after seeing the red soldering iron, she confessed, "I just lost the clerk's appointment papers. Isn't it a culpability?"

He didn't give any hints yet, so the other party took the initiative to mention the paperwork, and it seemed that he knew it in all likelihood.

"Lost?" Feinian said suddenly, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused? A while ago, His Royal Highness Prince was attacked in full view, and there was a shadow of the inspiring plan behind him. The Privy Council is working hard. Investigate this matter, and the name Shangguancai is also suspected of treason!"

"How is it possible?" The other party was surprised, "The man clearly said that he just wanted to be an eighth-rank official--"

"Who is that person?" Feinian leaned forward in front of Shangguan Cai.

The latter couldn't help but shrink back—she only realized that she had missed her words, but at this point, she couldn't take care of that much. After all, what the other party did was treason, and once they got involved, the family might not be able to save her. "I... I don't know, I really don't know! She came to me through an intermediary, and I don't know anything about her. I didn't want that appointment and dismissal, and that person was willing to buy it for a big price. , I agreed. Besides, there are such things everywhere, right?"

Seeing Shangguancai speaking, Feinian knew that his "deterrence" had worked. He sat back in his seat and said in a soothing tone, "Buyers are indeed everywhere, and it is understandable that you will agree. But. This matter is suspected of conspiracy, and the nature is quite different. If you can help us to find out the identity of the other party, you will not only have no faults, but have merit. Did she tell you anything?"

"We talked very little, mainly about remuneration. By the way, she also asked me to hide at home for the first half of the year and try to minimize going out, but I think no one would care about an eight-pin alchemist in a border area. "

"In other words, you have met her in person."

"We only met one side..."

"If you see her again, will you recognize her immediately?"

Shangguan Cai thought for a while, "I think...it should be fine."

"Very well, I will arrange for people to draw portraits. You tell them the basic characteristics, and they will draw head portraits that match them. You can choose the closest one." Fei Nian inserted the soldering iron back. The fire, put on a gentle smile, and untied the ropes behind her, "Since you have nothing to do with the rebels, we don't have to talk about it here. Please forgive the Privy Council’s faux pas. This case is very important. It is also a last resort."

His face with sword eyebrows and stars made the woman's cheeks blush, "...I understand."

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will ask my subordinates to send you to the living room~ IndoMTL.com~ After walking out of the execution hall, Fei Nian unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

Yan Qing, the "lockweaver".

"Why did you come to such a place?"

"His Royal Highness asked me to see Olena Okan's situation. If how well recovered, there is no need to keep her hands for the next interrogation." She glanced in the direction where Shangguancai left, "That Who is it? It doesn’t seem to be the one who should come to the execution hall."

Fei Nian sighed, "His Royal Highness asked me to track down Xia Fan's ranking. This person may be related to it."

"Xia Fan... Is there anything wrong with this person?"

"It is not yet known, but if you can find out the details, it will always do no harm to the Privy Council."

"Then you continue to work hard." Yan Qing said disapprovingly.

After Fei Nianyuan went away, she withdrew her gaze, turned and walked towards the depths of the prison.
