Chapter 854

"You came quite early," Inspector Zhang said with a smile and left with Jiang Lvzhong.

Xu Qi 'an didn't follow them. Instead, he called three warlocks in white who didn't like to eat at the same table as Warrior, so they hid in their room and ate their breakfast.

"Prince Xu is here."

The three warlocks in white hurriedly stood up and respectfully invited Xu Qi 'an to take a seat.

"I have something to ask you …" Xu Qi 'an deliberated for a while and said, "Apart from the three of you, who else came to Yunzhou from our Celestial Commissioner?"

In order to increase their sense of identity, he deliberately said "our Celestial Commissioner."

The three warlocks in white looked at each other. "No, just the three of us."

Xu Qi 'an's face darkened. "Are you looking down on me?"

"… Prince Xu, what are you talking about? It's really just the three of us," the warlock in white explained.

I wonder if using the Aura Observation Technique on warlocks will have any effect … Giving them a taste of their own medicine … Xu Qi 'an nodded. "Got it."

He was just thinking about it. His three little brothers wouldn't lie to him. Moreover, warlocks definitely had a way to hide their own fate energy. After all, they were professionals.

"Right now, there are officials visiting Inspector Zhang. The three of you keep an eye on them upstairs and see if there's any change in their fate energy. Then, give me a reply."

After giving instructions, Xu Qi 'an led the three warlocks in white and hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

…

In the hall, Inspector Zhang received all the officials of the White Emperor City. Basically, all the officials of the city who had a high enough rank were gathered here.

With such a big commotion last night, as long as one wasn't blind or deaf, there was no way they wouldn't know. Not to mention these officials in the city who were closely watching Inspector Zhang's every move.

After some small talk, Governor Song, who was wearing a scarlet robe, went straight to the point. "This morning, I heard from the soldiers that Inspector Zhang went straight to the Imperial Command Department last night and arrested Sir Yang?"

Governor Song, who had high cheekbones and squinted eyes when he smiled, widened his eyes and stared at Inspector Zhang without blinking.

The other officials did the same.

Inspector Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Qi Gang colluded with the Witchcraft Cult to transport military supplies. I brought him back to the station and is now interrogating him."

"This …" The officials' faces slightly changed.

Governor Song frowned, lowered his voice, and said sincerely, "Governor, be careful, be careful."

Pausing for a moment, he leaned over, allowing himself to get closer to Inspector Zhang, and continued, "Lord Yang is the Commander in Chief, could it be that Lord has conclusive evidence? Otherwise, it would be hard to convince the public.

Even with the Inspector-General's authority, if he wanted to make a move against a Rank Two Commander, he would need to have irrefutable evidence. Without evidence, the arrest would be a taboo.

Firstly, the Yunzhou officials would not agree. Secondly, the guards under the command of the Commander Department would not agree.

The former were still alright, they could at most talk, but the latter were just a bunch of ruffians.

The evidence had to be brought out. If there was no explanation, there would be trouble. But Inspector Zhang was not in a hurry to show the evidence.

"Everyone, you have been officials in Yunzhou for many years. What do you think of Commander Yang Chuannan?"

Hearing this question, all the officials expressed their opinions with different expressions.

At the corner of the stairs, Xu Qi'an said in a low voice, "Look. Look carefully."

After a while, he asked, "Who is lying? I don't think the one on the left is reliable. The second one on the back is not a good person. "

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the three warlocks in white were silently staring at him. Xu Qi 'an said gloomily, "Why are you looking at me?

The warlock in white moved his lips, "None of them are telling the truth …"

Xu Qi 'an opened his mouth, but for a moment, he was speechless. This was too f * cking realistic. This was the officialdom!

The so-called "none of them are telling the truth" meant that what the officials said was completely different from what they thought.

However, this did not mean that they were "werewolves". That was because there was too much hypocrisy in the officialdom. Out of ten sentences spoken, one sentence would be false. Under the Imperial Astronomer's Qi Observation Technique, the words spoken would be lies.

Qi-watching technique also had its limitations. It couldn't be as accurate as a water leak.

Next, the inspector told the officials about the account book. But he didn't show it to the public.

The officials exchanged glances. How long did the inspector come to Yunzhou? Less than half a day. Three of the days were spent outside for inspection.

But even so, they found evidence of Yang Chuannan's crime in just a few days?

For a moment, the officials felt a chill in their hearts. A hundred thousand silver for three years. Who dared to say they didn't have any problems?

If Inspector Zhang were to make a move against them, none of them would be able to escape.

An official swallowed his saliva and asked, "Inspector-General, there are a lot of talents under his command. May I know who it was that made such a great contribution? "

As he spoke, he glanced at the night watchmen around him.

The other officials quietly examined the night watchmen. They were all guessing.

Administrative Commissioner Song's eyes flickered. He smiled, "I remember. The gong that was proficient in farming did not accompany the inspector for inspection."

His words reminded the crowd. The high-ranking officials immediately began to search for Xu Qi 'an's figure.

Some of them looked at Inspector Zhang.

"That's right. It's him!" Inspector Zhang nodded.

Actually, with the intelligence of the officials present, they could guess it even without Inspector Zhang's confirmation. There weren't many night watchmen at the relay station. But there was that gong. His position wasn't high, but he could sit next to the inspector.

Recalling his saber that was different from the other night watchmen, it wasn't hard to guess that the gong named Xu Qi'an had great professional ability. He was one of the important figures in the inspector's team.

"Cough, cough!"

Xu Qi'an appeared at the right time. He coughed and stood silently behind Inspector Zhang.

At that time, he could see that he was different. He didn't expect that the commander would be defeated by a gong …

Many officials had vigilance and respect in their eyes.

…

In the corridor on the second floor, Li Miaozhen pressed her hands on the railing. She looked down at the people below. She heard Susu's mouth twitch, "He only knows how to show off."

From their angle, they could see the hiding figures of Xu Qi'an and the warlock in white.

Just now, the credit of solving the case was vaguely pointed out by Minister Song. After Inspector Zhang admitted it, the stinky man quickly tidied up his appearance and appeared in an awe-inspiring manner.

Susu didn't know the word "pretentious". Otherwise, she would have accurately grasped the adjective.

"Men all have a good reputation. It's human nature."

Li Miaozhen's view of Xu Qi'an had gradually changed. She felt that other than being lecherous, he was impeccable in all aspects. He was upright, had a nice way of talking, was good at solving cases, and had outstanding ability.

"You seem to be prejudiced against him, but you don't really hate him." Li Miaozhen looked sideways at the female ghost. She frowned and said,

"You used to be very disdainful of men. But now, you feel like you've become enemies with him."

Susu didn't admit it. She hurriedly explained, "I'm just angry. But master, you seem to have a good impression of him."

Li Miaozhen generously admitted, "Xu Qi'an is indeed a good person."

Susu said, "Last night, he promised to help me reconstruct my body. But he put forward a condition."

"What condition?"

"Be his concubine for a few years."

"… Xu Qi'an is really a bad person. He's hopeless."

After the discussion, the officials accompanied Inspector Zhang to the command office. The next step was to check the accounts and confirm the authenticity of the account book.

Xu Qi'an was a layman when it came to checking accounts. He didn't join in the fun. He was arranged to guard Yang Chuannan with the other night watchmen at the relay station.

After everyone left, Xu Qi'an stood in the hall. He raised his head and looked at the two beauties on the second floor. He smiled and said,

"When are you two leaving? You're not going to take advantage of Jinluo's absence to kidnap Yang Chuannan, are you? "

Susu snorted, "The master is Tenzō Shōnin, the Flying Swallow Heroine. She's the most trustworthy."

Xu Qi'an shrugged, "The trust between people is actually very fragile. It's like paper. Once you poke it, it'll break."

Susu argued and retorted loudly.

"If you don't believe me, come down. I'll verify it for you." Xu Qi'an waved his hand.

Susu held onto the railing and flew lightly into the hall. She stood in front of Xu Qi'an.

Pu … Xu Qi'an poked her chest with a finger. It was like poking a piece of paper.

"You, stinky man. I'm going to kill you." Susu was furious.

"See, I was right."

Susu spat out Yin Energy to attack Xu Qi'an. However, once the Warrior was vigilant, he was far better at close-range combat. Therefore, every breath of Yin Energy was easily dodged. On the other hand, holes appeared on her body. Her chest, lower waist, lower abdomen …

This body was soon destroyed.

Li Miaozhen had to take out another paper doll for Susu to possess. Ghosts didn't have a physical body. If they were exposed to the scorching sun during the day, their vitality would be greatly damaged.

The paper doll had Daoist talismans drawn on it. It could nourish ghosts and seal Yin Energy.

"Huh? General Li, do you have paper dolls with you? Where did you hide them? "Xu Qi'an pretended to be puzzled.

"I have my own methods." Li Miaozhen said.

"What methods? The legendary mustard seed in a flash? "Xu Qi'an's eyes widened. He looked like a country bumpkin who hadn't seen the world.

What was a mustard seed in a flash … Li Miaozhen was stunned at first. Then, she felt satisfied with Xu Qi'an's admiration. She nodded and said,

"It can be considered a similar spell."

"General Li is indeed a Tenzō Shōnin." Xu Qi'an sighed in admiration.

Li Miaozhen replied with a reserved "Hmm."

… Keep pretending. It's just a fragment of the Book of the Earth. The more you keep, the more you'll die in the future. Xu Qi'an smiled from the bottom of his heart.

At noon, Xu Qi'an invited the two beauties to finish their meal. He guessed that Inspector Zhang would be back soon.

In the end, before the Imperial Inspector arrived, a soldier guarding the city rushed into the relay station and shouted, "Your humble servant has an important matter to discuss with the Imperial Inspector!"

The Stalwart Tiger Guard stopped him and scolded, "You are not allowed to trespass the relay station."

The soldiers guarding the city wall were very anxious, they shouted loudly, "Inspector-General Daren, lowly officer has an extremely urgent matter to see you."

The commotion in the courtyard alerted the night watchman in the relay station. A silver gong came out with two brass gongs. He frowned and said, "Inspector Zhang is not here. He has something to tell me."

The soldier guarding the city gulped and said anxiously, "The guards' army is gathering outside the southern part of the city. They are threatening to enter the city if Inspector Zhang does not come out to see them."
