In the room of the courier station.
"Yang Chuannan, you colluded with the Qi Party led by the former Minister of Works to support the mountain bandits in the dark, providing them with military supplies. What are you trying to do?"
Inspector Zhang spoke harshly and threw the account book at Yang Chuannan's face.
The account book fell on the ground and opened up. Yang Chuannan looked down and his expression changed slightly.
Jiang Lvzhong bent down to pick up the account book and looked at Inspector Zhang without any expression. He thought to himself, "Yang Chuannan just kicked him and the evidence that we finally found was gone."
Fortunately, he had severely injured Yang Chuannan in advance. In a short period of time, Yang Chuannan was no different from an ordinary person. He was even worse than an ordinary person.
"If you want to frame someone, you can always find a pretext," Yang Chuannan said coldly. He was wearing shackles and handcuffs. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked dispirited.
"Sir Yang, don't say such high-sounding words," the person who spoke was Xu Qi 'an. He was the only person standing in the room as the copper gong.
Except for the three warlocks in white.
"Did you find this account book?" Yang Chuannan stared at him.
On the second day that the inspection team arrived in Yunzhou, Li Miaozhen told him that there was a copper gong named Xu Qi 'an who was one of the important characters in the inspection team.
It could even be said that Yang Chuannan's fate was in the hands of that copper gong to a certain extent.
Yang Chuannan took Li Miaozhen's words to heart. He did not underestimate the copper gong named Xu Qi 'an. However, he did not expect that before he could do anything, the little copper gong had already decided the ending.
It was unexpected!
"It was me," Xu Qi 'an nodded.
"Impressive, impressive …" Yang Chuannan shook his head and laughed. "Heroes are indeed young. When Miaozhen told me about you, although I did not underestimate you, I was still too careless."
"No, not only you, me too …" Inspector Zhang echoed in his heart.
No one would have thought that Xu Qi 'an's business ability was so strong.
Yang Chuannan looked at Xu Qi 'an. "Breakthrough to the God-Ascension Realm?"
"Ang!"
Xu Qi 'an nodded. He thought to himself,' You're the commander after all. You have much better foresight than that woman, Number Two. ' I am a dignified cultivator, yet you actually suspect me of being a pervert who indulges in excessive lust.
It seemed that no matter which space-time he was in, the reputation of having dark eye circles was ruined.
Inspector Zhang and Jiang Lvzhong watched from the side with their hands clasped behind their back. They did not urge or interrupt, showing the greatest respect to Xu Qi 'an.
"Lord Yang is a member of the Qi Party. There shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"
After some small talk, Xu Qi'an went straight to the point and replaced Inspector Zhang to start the interrogation.
Yang Chuannan nodded. "My father is from Qi. When he was serving in the Ministry of War, he was recommended by the then Assistant Minister of War and joined the Qi party."
Xu Qi 'an looked at Inspector Zhang blankly.
Inspector Zhang explained: "The Qi Party is a party formed by the people of Qi. During Yang Chuannan's father's time, the Qi Party controlled the Ministry of War, but that was a matter of decades ago."
Yang Chuannan continued: "My father has always been a marginalized figure in the Qi Party, even when I was here. Until I was transferred to Yunzhou, I gained many military achievements in the past ten years and slowly climbed to my current position.
"The Qi Party did help me mediate in the imperial court, but I'm not close to them. Other than when I go to the capital to report on my work, Yunzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, so I'm only able to maintain my relationship with them."
Inspector Zhang nodded slightly.
Yang Chuannan climbed to his current position with military achievements. Because of this, the crime of supporting bandits could be confirmed, and it was also in line with the evaluation of the Yamen.
"But if you say that I'm transporting military supplies for the Qi Party and colluding with the Witchcraft Cult, I'm really wronged." Yang Chuannan shook his head.
"I'm already the Commander. Is there a higher official in Yunzhou than me? Supporting bandits for self-improvement, heh, if I didn't want to do something for the people of Yunzhou, I'd rather be transferred away from this damn place. "
What a beautiful and dignified speech. If it were in the movies I watched in my previous life, it would be to clear my name … Xu Qi 'an chuckled in his heart.
He didn't believe a word of it, only the evidence in his hand.
But as a qualified interrogator, he knew how to lead the topic, so he said, "According to Lord Yang, there's a hidden story behind this?"
Yang Chuannan looked at Inspector Zhang, "Do you think that I'm the only Qi Party in Yunzhou? The Qi Party colluded with the Witchcraft Cult to transport military supplies, so the mastermind must be me?
"In the Commander's Office, I'm the only Qi Party?"
Inspector Zhang shook his head, "Lord Commander, that's not good."
All this sounded like Yang Chuannan's sophistry, and it was indeed sophistry. The so-called sophistry was arguing without evidence, trying to get rid of responsibility.
And as the Commander, who had the biggest responsibility for transporting military supplies for the mountain bandits? It must be him, the highest-ranking official.
There was no doubt about this.
"Lord Yang, there's a traitor among you." Xu Qi 'an also felt that he was sophistry, but he didn't jump to a conclusion.
Yang Chuannan seemed to see their distrust, so he paused and said, "The Qi Party did do these things, but I didn't realize the whole thing until Zhou Min died.
"Obviously, I'm used by the Qi Party as a scapegoat, and the one who really colluded with the Witchcraft Cult and supported the mountain bandits is someone else. I wanted to secretly find the evidence and destroy it to protect myself. Unfortunately, you're one step faster. "
"Is this one step faster?" "You haven't come out of the spring, but I've already pushed the high ground …" Xu Qi 'an turned his head to look at the two warlocks in white.
The three warlocks, who had been doing nothing for more than half a month, finally had a place to show their skills. They had been observing Yang Chuannan with Qi-watching.
"He doesn't seem to be lying," a warlock in white answered.
"Doesn't seem to be?" Xu Qi 'an stared at him unhappily.
Being questioned by Prince Xu, the warlocks were still a little anxious, and they hurriedly said, "We're Level Six Geomancy Masters, and this Commander is Level Five. Logically, our Qi-watching can't be wrong.
"But, it's not a hundred percent true. First of all, if Master Yang has cultivated his Primordial Spirit and has a strong will, then we won't be able to see through his lies. For example, once you step into the Spirit Ascension State, ordinary Level Eight warlocks won't be able to see through you, Prince Xu. You'll need a warlock of the same rank, or even a rank higher.
"Secondly, there's a magic tool that can hide your aura. Of course, Master Yang has already searched you, and there's no magic tool.
"Lastly, the Witchcraft Cult and us warlocks have spells that can modify memories. If Master Yang has prepared in advance … then what he's saying now is indeed the truth."
"Modify memories?" Xu Qi 'an was shocked.
This was the first time he had heard of memory modification.
"That's a spell that only high-ranked powerhouses can master," the warlocks in white explained.
Considering the huge gap between high-ranked powerhouses and low-ranked powerhouses in this world, Xu Qi 'an understood.
Low-ranked powerhouses were low-ranked, while high-ranked powerhouses were comparable to gods and devils. Monk Shen Shu in his body was an example. He had been sealed in Sampo for five hundred years, and even with his broken limbs, he was still alive.
Oh right, there's still Master Shen Shu in my body … I almost forgot … Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart.
The monk had been sealed for five hundred years, and his vitality was greatly damaged. He had been sleeping in Xu Qi 'an's body until now.
If it was memory modification, then the case would be difficult … Normal investigation methods would not work … Only Xianxia could defeat Xianxia. If I had known, I would have asked for Song Qing or the Act Tough King to accompany me, instead of three Feng Shui masters … Xu Qi 'an frowned.
Yang Chuannan stared at Xu Qi 'an. "Your excellency Xu … With your ability, you're qualified for me to call you your excellency Xu. Why don't you check if I'm telling the truth?
"Heh, this is also a backup plan if I have no other choice."
Using the enemy to defeat the enemy … Xu Qi 'an thought snappily.
"Why should I help you? I'll just kidnap you and bring you back to the capital, and everything will be over." Xu Qi 'an laughed coldly.
"That's fine too!" Yang Chuannan closed his eyes.
…
From today onwards, the courier station would be patrolled in three shifts. Regardless of day or night, no one was allowed to leave or enter the courier station without the Inspector's approval.
The Stalwart Tiger Guards were in high spirits because the culprit had been arrested. It was foreseeable that they would be returning to the capital soon.
The South was such a damned place. It was cold and damp. When they were on duty at night, the wind would blow into their necks, making them shiver uncontrollably.
Although the North was several times colder than the South, they were used to living in the North and could not adapt to the damp and cold in the South.
"Your excellency Xu is really a genius. How many days has it been since you arrived in Yunzhou? Only half a day, and you've already solved such a big case. "
"Heh, it's not strange at all. We've already heard of his name when we were in the capital. The Sampo Case caused an uproar, but it was still solved by him."
"That's right. I'm afraid he'll become an influential person again when he returns to the capital. Let's get closer to him on the road. At least he'll be our backer in the future. "
The Stalwart Tiger Guards felt honored. When they were on duty, they gathered together to discuss and praise your excellency Xu for his god-like ability to solve cases.
Those who were quick-witted were already thinking about how to curry favor with your excellency Xu and befriend him while he was still a gong. In the future, the higher your excellency Xu's status is, the more precious this relationship will be.
They did not ask for much of a friendship. As long as the other party remembers your name, that would be enough.
"Forget it. Your excellency Xu won't like people like you who are greedy for petty money. Let me tell you, your excellency Xu is a person who abhors evil. Back in the capital, because he was dissatisfied with his superior bullying women, he almost killed his superior. "
"Pfft. Do you think your excellency Xu will like people who like to visit brothels?"
As they were chatting, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courier station.
"Who's there?"
The Stalwart Tiger Guard on duty pressed down on the hilt of his saber and shouted in a deep voice.
At the entrance stood Li Miaozhen, wearing a ponytail and silver spear armor. Her beautiful oval face was solemn. The cold wind ruffled her ponytail, giving off a heroic feeling of going against the world.
"Ranger General Li Miaozhen requests an audience with the Inspector," Li Miaozhen said in a loud voice.
"Let her in," Jiang Lvzhong said in a deep voice.
The Stalwart Tiger Guards gave way. Li Miaozhen nodded slightly and strode into the courtyard of the courier station. After a few steps, she turned around and said,
"What are you waiting for? Follow me."
A few seconds later, a devastatingly beautiful woman walked over reluctantly and coyly, "Master, the people here are all hateful martial artists. Their Qi and blood are too strong, it's so hot that it hurts all over my body."
When Susu was in the military camp, she basically hid in Li Miaozhen's tent and rarely went out. The military camp was fine, but the courier station was like a volcano to her.
The Fourth Rank Warrior's Qi and blood were too strong for the ghosts to bear.
Li Miaozhen took out a talisman and flicked it on Susu's chest.
She immediately entered the courtyard happily and skipped around, not afraid of the burning Qi and blood.
"Master, let me tell you, there are two night watchmen here who are obsessed with me," she chattered.
Passing through the courtyard and arriving at the main hall, Li Miaozhen saw Inspector Zhang, Jiang Lvzhong, and Xu Qi 'an. The rest of the night watchmen were not in the main hall.
Li Miaozhen stood upright in the main hall and cupped her fists, "Lord Inspector, do you have evidence to arrest Yang Chuannan?"
"Are you talking about this?" Jiang Lvzhong held the account book in his hand and waved it.
"The evidence is conclusive," Inspector Zhang said with a gentle attitude and a smile.
Li Miaozhen immediately looked at Xu Qi 'an with a complicated expression and asked for confirmation, "You did it?"
Including Jiang Lvzhong, the rest were out inspecting the people and had no time to investigate the case. Other than Xu Qi 'an, she couldn't think of anyone else.
This was different from what Li Miaozhen thought. She was here to probe the situation. If Inspector Zhang arrested him by force and had no evidence, she planned to work with the army to pressure the inspector and ask him to release Yang Chuannan.
But if they really had evidence, it would be difficult to rescue Yang Chuannan.
"I didn't do it," Xu Qi 'an shook his head and denied, then added, "But I found it."
