Chapter 40: Fear Syndrome
An stay here to help you out, what kind of woman can't you charm Your wolfish ambition is plain for all to see!""An An's presence at the Lingxiao Pavilion is for a different reason, Ye Daoist friend...“Lord Li,” Jiang Wang exclaimed, “how did you get here”
This case was led by him. Someone with the rank of Li Yougui should not have interfered. Because it would lower Jiang Wang's credibility as a "New Qi" person conducting a fair investigation into this case.
This is also why he wasn't able to get close to Yue Leng this time.
"Upon receiving news about the remnants of Yang Shi, I rushed over." Li Youjiu explained: "Since the real culprit has been found, Captain Jiang, you lead this case and have uncovered the truth. It can be reported to the Inspectorate first. The next step is simply to apprehend the real culprit."
As for their official positions, Jiang Wang was now on the same level as him. They had interacted before, so his attitude when speaking was very equal. It wasn't like with Lin Youxie, who almost sounded like he was lecturing him.
And Lin Youxie held a small wooden pestle, gently grinding in the medicine jar, without a word.

This was what surprised Jiang Wang the most. In his view, someone like Lin Youxie, who persisted in things he believed in, should find it difficult to back down.
Unless Li Yu had feelings for her, their relationship was more than just about rank.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't we first try to capture the murderer"
Li Youjiu said softly, "The most important thing is to let the truth be known through the Ministry of Inspection. This will allow General Cao to be freed from these idle rumors as soon as possible. Lord Jiang, you have the emperor's favor. You should help alleviate his worries."
The same thing, Chong Xuan had already said that Jiang Wang had actually been mentally prepared for a long time.

A powerful website. He glanced at Lin Youxie, who didn't react at all. As if the medicine jar in front of him was her new case, her new lead.
“Working on this medicine again” Li Yougui lightly sniffed, his brow furrowed in distaste. “What’s the point of staying awake like this”
Lin Youxie finally spoke.
She said, "Being awake itself is meaning."
Li Youjiu looked at her, and suddenly let out a sigh: "The clues of the Yang family remnants, I actually already have them. You record the case details and report to Linzi first, and I will go with Lord Jiang to pursue them. We will definitely bring this matter to an end."
After saying that, he didn't care about Lin Youxie's reaction and directly addressed Jiang Wang: "Time is of the essence, Sir Jiang, let's talk as we walk."
>
Li Youjiu was a third-rank Qingpai official, whose rank and cultivation even surpassed that of the patrol captain. Within the Patrol Department of the capital city, his status was quite extraordinary.
Of course, this was determined by the special mechanism of the Imperial City Inspection Department. In terms of power, he was far inferior to Zheng Shi.
Gong Li was an esteemed senior in the Qing Dynasty; personally, they were old acquaintances. Jiang Wang had nothing to say, so he simply followed Gong Li out.

Lin Youxie's voice slowly grinding the medicine gradually faded away.
Leaving this secret contact point, after leaving Lu City, Li Yougui soared into the sky and flew westward. Jiang Wang followed closely behind him.
"Don't you think I've been too harsh on Captain Lin" Li Yougui suddenly asked in the face of the oncoming night wind.
Jiang Wang hesitated to criticize his elders, and said slowly, “I just think that Head Hunter Lin is a truly loyal and dedicated hunter. Some choices, I don't know right from wrong, and I dare not comment. But at least she always lives up to the blue badge she wears.”
Li Youjiao said: "I heard that you two were originally somewhat contradictory and estranged, but I didn't expect your evaluation of her to be so high. Qingyangzi is indeed an upright gentleman."
"It's not exactly a contradiction, just some misunderstanding," Jiang Wang said unexpectedly. He hadn't expected that his relationship with Lin Youxie would be discussed by others, so he immediately explained: "Captain Lin only has cases in his eyes, who has the time to care about other people's feelings"
“You're right.” Li Youjiu sighed: “I feel sorry for their misfortune, but also angry at their unwillingness to fight back.”
This is the end of a paragraph.
Jiang Wang's heart moved: "What do you mean by that"
Li Yougui did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "Do you know the Four Great Qingjia Clans"
Jiang Wàng said: “That I truly don’t know.”
>
“You are unaware of this truth because it has long since ceased to exist.” Li Youjiu’s voice was filled with regret: “After Emperor Wu restored the country, he established the Qingpai system to rectify good and evil and determine yin and yang. The Qingpai of Qi State was renowned throughout all directions, causing countless evildoers to tremble at its name! The Qingpai spread throughout the Eastern Regions, and wherever it went, evil spirits retreated. Among them were the four great divine hunters, Lin Li Wu Cheng, whose reputations soared, capturing criminals and slaying countless lawbreakers. These so-called four great Qingpai families originated from this.”
Reaching this point, his emotions suddenly surged: “At the peak of the Four Great Qing Families, where would such a lowlife as 'Hell's Gate' dare to kill in Linzi! And still get away with it!”
Jiang Wang did not respond to that.
He had never known the glory of the Four Great Qingpai Families, but the Qi State during the Martial Emperor period was not as powerful as the Qi State of today.
Seven Yama kings entered Linzi, Hell's gate being unbarred. They killed in the blink of an eye and disappeared as quickly as they arrived. Information, timing, and action – all were top-notch.

Prior to this, Linzi had not seen such a major case for many years. The overlord nation had been in peace for a long time. It can be said that it was just an instinctive reaction under stress, but it also left five out of the seven Yan Luo.
Jiang Wang had personally seen how Yin Guan escaped, truly walking on the edge of a precipice, barely surviving. If he did it again, he might not live.
Even at their peak, the Four Great Qing Dynasty Families never reached this level.
Moreover, to say that Li had a guilty conscience places Yue and the watchman in an even worse position.
Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't involve himself in those discussions. He simply said, "I reckon Lin Pao is from the Lin family, and you are from the Li family. Wu Lie Lao must be from the Wu family. I wonder who the descendant of the Cheng family is"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
"The Cheng family...嗬, the Cheng family is gone. Extinct."
Li Yougui sighed with regret, filled with endless melancholy.
But his emotions subsided quickly, and he changed the subject: "Actually, the other three families aren't much better either. The Lin family is down to only Lin Youxie as their sole heir, and Old Wu is completely alone, apparently destined for a life of solitude. As for my son, I don't intend to have him continue as a Qingpai anymore. The era of Qingpai families has come to an end with this generation."
Jiang Wang thought about it for a moment, but ultimately did not ask why.
The Four Great Qing Brands, once so powerful and influential, have faded from prominence. There are many stories behind their decline, of course. Li Yougui hasn't shown any willingness to tell them, nor has he seemed capable of doing so.
He sighed and said, "The world is like this, it's truly unsettling."
Li Youjiao didn't continue talking about history. He changed the subject and said, "Although I am much older, Li Youxie and I are actually the same generation."
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
He chuckled wryly: "Look, one with guilt, one with malice."
The four great Qing dynasty prominent families all happened to share the same surname. Their close friendship in the early years is evident from this.
It's no wonder that Li Youjiao reprimanded Lin Youxie, just like she would discipline her own child. Lin Youxie didn't resist at all.
Given that the four major qingpai clans have such intricate relationships and a history of such brilliance, it's no wonder that Lin Youxie, even now, can navigate within qingpai like a fish in water. Even Zheng Shangming, son of Beiya Duwei, said she was not to be trifled with.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, and said apologetically: "I think you have your concerns. It's just that I didn't understand it. My previous words were reckless and out of line. Please don't take offense, Lord Li."
Li Youjiu let out a wry smile and said, "You don't know, Lin Youxie this child, he has a fear of heights."
"Fear syndrome"
Li Youjiu sighed, "When Lin Kuang died, someone deliberately did evil. They threw Lin Kuang's body in front of the three-year-old Lin Youxie without any warning. From then on, she developed agoraphobia. Fear of corpses. Whenever she saw a corpse, her phobia would attack, her three souls would be scattered, and her seven spirits would tremble with fear. She could only maintain it with medicine. At first, she made it herself, that kind of medicine."
“This…” Jiang Wang remembered Lin Youxie’s calmness when he dissected the body. He was stunned!
(umm, the eleventh one.
