Chapter 686

"This bastard is getting bolder and bolder," Jiang Lvzhong exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said "angrily".

"How dare he behead his superior with a saber if he doesn't have the guts?" the sword-wielding Jinluo said with a smile.

"It's a pity that Yang Yan got lucky. You don't know that kid's aptitude is …"

Wei Yuan glanced at Jiang Lvzhong and interrupted, "You're too talkative."

Jiang Lvzhong immediately shut up.

The sword-wielding Jinluo raised his eyebrows and asked, "How's his aptitude? What's his rating? A?"

Jiang Lvzhong smiled deliberately but didn't answer. He gave him an expression of "you're too naive".

Not A? Could it be A +? The sword-wielding Jinluo suddenly turned his head and stared straight at Wei Yuan, "Duke Wei?"

Wei Yuan drank his tea without saying a word.

His attitude made Jinluo even more curious, and he began to make connections.

If it's A aptitude, there's no need to hide it from me … Could it really be A +? Impossible, there hasn't been A + for decades … But didn't their attitude just prove it? If so, I have no reason not to fight for Xu Qi 'an.

Judging from Duke Wei's words, hiding it is probably to avoid disputes between Jinluo because of snatching people … Yes, I can secretly plot to win him over. Didn't young people only care about money and women?

The expressionless Yang Yan took the initiative to change the topic, "Godfather, what's His Majesty's attitude?"

Wei Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "Find out Heng Hui's whereabouts as soon as possible. During the investigation period, even I can't withstand a large number of impeachments."

The four Jinluo showed a serious expression. Duke Wei was forced to say this, which meant the situation was very serious.

It seemed normal. First of all, Wei Yuan was a eunuch who was in charge of the night watchman and had a bad relationship with the civil and military officials in the court. Just the fact that the murderer could kill people in the inner city and retreat calmly was enough to cause panic among the officials.

"We'll do our best."

Wei Yuan nodded his head, "Don't just talk about it. Recently, there have been rumors in the court that all the gongs in the yamen are useless, and that all investigations depend on a single gong."

Godfather valued Xu Qi 'an more and more … Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou looked at each other and saw what they were thinking.

They had to do this well and find Heng Hui as soon. Fortunately, Xu Qi 'an couldn't do this kind of errand, so he wasn't worried that the little gong would jump out and steal the credit.

…

Xu Qi 'an arrived at the Minister of War's Mansion with the Sang Po case team. He flashed his gold medal and was informed by the servants. Then, he entered the Minister's Mansion with Chu Caiwei, Li Yuchun, the three silver gongs, and Lu Qing, the chief of detectives of the Six Fan School.

The main gate of the Minister's Residence and the surrounding walls had all been destroyed. It was a ghastly sight.

"The mansion is really magnificent." Lü Qing said in a low voice after entering the mansion.

"This mansion must be worth at least ten thousand taels of silver …" Li Yuchun guessed.

The leader of the servants sneered, "Ten thousand taels of silver? What a country bumpkin. You want to buy our mansion with ten thousand taels of silver?

What a boorish Warrior.

Xu Qi 'an kicked his butt and scolded, "Lead the way, dog slave."

The servant lowered his head and hurried to walk faster.

The word "dog slave" reminded Xu Qi 'an of the little queen of the night club, Bian Fan. He wondered if she provoked Princess Huaiqing today and got beaten up by her.

Xu Qi 'an met the Minister of War, Zhang Feng, in the living room. He was a calm and serious man with gray hair and a goatee.

He sat there in silence, showing the dignity of a high position for a long time.

"Greetings, Minister." Xu Qi 'an cupped his fists.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly, "I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that your excellency Xu handled the case with amazing speed and ability. Not only did you make rapid progress in the Sampo Case, but you also found the murderer of Count Pingyuan."

"You flatter me, Minister." Xu Qi 'an felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

"You want to ask me about the connection between me and the murderer that he came to seek revenge in the middle of the night?" Minister Zhang said.

"Yes." Xu Qi 'an did not expect the other party to cooperate.

Minister Zhang looked at Xu Qi 'an expressionlessly. Suddenly, he spoke harshly. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "I also want to know. I want to know even more. It has been a long time since the murder of Count Pingyuan. Why hasn't the night watchman caught the murderer yet?

"I also want to know why the night watchman has repeatedly allowed the murderer to commit murder."

Xu Qi 'an could only cupped his fists again and said, "Please calm down, Minister."

Minister Zhang restrained his expression and sighed, "Although I didn't attend court today, I know what happened last night. I didn't expect that five high-ranked Warrior would not be able to take down the murderer. Instead, four Jinluo soldiers were injured.

"I know that the night watchman is loyal to the court. It's a pity that the Supervisor is seriously ill and can't do anything. He has caused us to be worried and exhausted."

His expression had the seriousness of a leader, but his tone was gentle and considerate of his subordinates. It gave people a good impression of him.

Xu Qi 'an actually had a good impression of the Minister of War. However, he soon realized that the Minister of War had given him a warning, and the next moment, he had changed his attitude to gain sympathy and sympathy. He had also unwittingly made people feel grateful for his recognition.

Those who could play politics to Rank-2 were not simple.

Xu Qi 'an coughed and cleared his throat. He probed, "The murderer of Count Pingyuan's family massacre is the same person who attacked the Minister's Residence last night.

"He's a monk from Green Dragon Temple. His Buddhist name is Heng Hui."

"Heng Hui?" The Minister of War frowned. "I don't know this person. Why did he attack my residence at night? Since he's a monk from Green Dragon Temple, why didn't your excellency Xu look for someone from Green Dragon Temple? Why did you come to my residence?"

"Heng Hui is just a monk. He's not worth knowing, Minister. However, he eloped with a female devotee more than a year ago. We haven't heard from him since. That female devotee is Princess Pingyang. "

"Princess Pingyang?" Zhang Feng was shocked, as if he couldn't believe it. "Princess Pingyang eloped with someone."

Xu Qi 'an had been observing him, trying to decipher his true thoughts through his micro-expressions, but he failed.

There were no flaws at all.

After asking a few more questions, Xu Qi 'an decided to change his target. "Is Young Master Zhang Yi here?"

Zhang Feng sent a servant to invite Zhang Yi. Not long after, Zhang Yi arrived at the reception hall with dark circles under his eyes.

"… Your dark eye circles are comparable to Song Qing's." Xu Qi 'an asked, "Young Master Zhang, do you know a monk named Heng Hui?"

"No." Zhang Yi shook his head.

"Then do you know Heng Qing?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know Hengy Yuan?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know Pingyang?"

"I don't know …" Zhang Yi finished speaking and suddenly realized, "Princess Pingyang? Of course I know her. "

"Completely perfunctory …" Xu Qi 'an nodded and smiled. "I'm done. Thank you, Minister Zhang and Young Master Zhang, for your cooperation."

After leaving the Minister's Residence, Xu Qi 'an turned his head and asked, "Which of the questions were true and which were false?"

The oval-faced Chu Caiwei rolled her eyes. "None of them were true."

Xu Qi 'an was stunned. "Who are you talking about?"

Chu Caiwei curled her lips. "Both father and son … Oh, the last part was true. The guy with kidney deficiency said he knew Princess Pingyang."

I could understand Zhang Feng lying through his teeth … but why was Zhang Yi lying too? There was only one possibility. Zhang Yi was involved in the elopement between Heng Hui and Princess Pingyang.

Think about it, if Zhang Yi didn't know anything, then Zhang Feng had no reason to reveal such confidential information to his son. Sometimes, ignorance was the best protection. Besides, with Zhang Yi's image as a master of time management, he was obviously not very reliable. If I were Minister Zhang, I would never mention a case that could lead to the extermination of the family to an unreliable person, even if he was my son.

Interestingly, when Heng Hui killed Count Pingyuan's son, he said, "I'm here for revenge."

"This case is getting more and more confusing and interesting. I feel that I'm close to the truth … Well, the truth of the elopement between Heng Hui and Princess Pingyang. Only when we figure out what happened between them can we continue to investigate the Sampo Case. "Xu Qi 'an cheered up all of a sudden.

…

After a busy day, Xu Qi 'an bid farewell to Chu Caiwei and Lü Qing at the end of the shift. After the two left, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao tacitly walked out of the side hall. The three of them tacitly mounted their horses and entered the Musical House.

After days of high-intensity investigation, Xu Qi 'an felt the need to relax and relieve the mental pressure.

Anyway, he was going to sleep. There was not much difference between sleeping at home and sleeping on Fu Xiang's bed. In addition, Fu Xiang had sent messages many times, saying that she missed him very much and wanted to invite him to the Shadow Plum Pavilion for tea.

In this case, Xu Qi 'an thought, "Let's make an appointment."

At this time, it was not dark, and the yamen was at the peak of the shift. There were not many customers in the Musical House, and there were only a few people in the alley.

"I'm going to sleep with prostitutes." Song Tingfeng said.

"It's not worthwhile to sleep with prostitutes. The price is … a little high." Xu Qi 'an sincerely suggested.

The prostitutes in Daibun did not really sell their skills instead of their bodies. Prostitutes were more like a kind of hype. In the Musical House, there were not only adult women but also many girls. These girls would be taught singing and dancing skills and the skills to serve men.

Gradually, when they grew up, those with average beauty and skills would serve as low-level dancers and singers. Those who were good-looking and skilled were pure and innocent.

When the prostitutes' fame accumulated to a certain extent, there would be seafood auctions to stimulate men's hearts.

"It's not worthwhile." Xu Qi 'an tried to persuade him.

"I've said that a man like me is not suitable to marry and have children. It's meaningless to save money." Song Tingfeng was very calm.

Xu Qi 'an suspected that this guy had a phobia of marriage.

"I am going to marry a wife." Zhu Guangxiao said concisely.

However, the price of tea in Fu Xiang's yard was too high, and the Top Beauty was Xu Qi 'an's lover. If he stayed in the Shadow Plum Pavilion, he could only sleep with maids.

Now that Guangxiao was rich, he wanted to sleep with more beautiful women.

The three parted ways, and Xu Qi 'an entered the Shadow Plum Pavilion.
