Chapter 874

Wei Yuan had been in the officialdom for decades. He could tell when the atmosphere changed.

Even though the Yuanjing Emperor only glanced at him when he came in and the officials looked away, Wei Yuan knew that this minor court meeting was mostly related to him.

The Spring Sacrifice had just ended, and the results of the investigation would be out in a few days. During this time, the Ministry of Personnel sent over the inspection list, waiting for the Yuanjing Emperor to write it down.

The results of the investigation in the capital had been gradually formed under the leadership of the Minister of Personnel.

The officials and the Yuanjing Emperor in the hall were well aware of the bloody storm that accompanied the formation of the inspection list. He definitely wouldn't push it down and start anew at this moment.

Since it was not about the investigation, what other important matter would involve him?

Wei Yuan's mind raced, and two words appeared in his mind — Cloud Province!

"An urgent report from Yunzhou … It seems that Yunzhou has really rebelled. With Jiang Lüzhong and Yang Yan's abilities and Zhang Xingying's previous efforts, Yunzhou will not fall into chaos …" Wei Yuan pondered.

After another 15 minutes, the officials qualified to attend the minor court meeting arrived one after another.

The Yuanjing Emperor looked down at the officials in the hall and said, "This morning, there was an urgent document from Yunzhou. The Yunzhou case has come to a conclusion. The one who colluded with the Witchcraft Cult, supported the mountain bandits, and transported military supplies is Yunzhou's administrative envoy, Song Changfu. "

It was as if a bomb had fallen on them. The officials were in an uproar and their faces paled. Then, there were uncontrollable discussions and angry rebukes.

However, some of them were not surprised, such as the Royal Faction.

Urgent documents had to first go through the Cabinet and then be passed on to the Office of Transmission. The Office of Transmission was in charge of receiving imperial orders and communicating the situation.

It was a yamen that specialized in checking the customs and defense documents for the Emperor, reporting the feudalism of the officials and the people, as well as the military situation and disasters.

The Cabinet was Wang Shoufu's territory. Of course, the Cabinet had no right to open the urgent document. However, after the Emperor read it, the first thing he had to do was to inform the Cabinet of the contents of the document and then hold a meeting.

Therefore, the Royal Faction got the first-hand news.

"Silence!"

The attendant of the Yuanjing Emperor shouted several times before the officials quieted down.

"Everyone, listen," said the Yuanjing Emperor.

The white-haired eunuch in an official robe nodded at the eunuch in the corner.

The eunuch stepped forward, unfolded the document in his hand, and read aloud,

"Your subject Zhang Xingying kowtows:

"Cloud Province's case concluded on the 24th of January. Traitors Song Zhangfu, Yang You, Chen Ming … thirty-four people were executed."

There was a string of names, all of which were officials with ranks.

"Yun Province is under the rule and the case has been closed. This is the merit of the imperial court's education, the merit of His Majesty's benevolence.

"Golden Gong, Jiang Lüzhong, you protected your subjects all the way, and you worked hard …

"The Jinluo Province's Yang Yan risked his life to lead the army against the rebels. He was meritorious, preventing the rebels from plundering and tormenting the people of Yun Province. He deserves great credit …

"Silver Gong Zhao Bin, Tang Shan Hu, Li Yun, the three died to the Witchcraft Sect's Dream Witch in order to protect me. They died with no regrets. Their loyalty, their spirit, their courage, this official deeply laments …

"Copper Gong Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao made great contributions to the case, helping Xu Qi'an find evidence. In order to protect the evidence, they didn't hesitate to feed ghosts with their own bodies, resulting in a great loss of blood … In the process of exterminating the rebels, they took the lead, not fearing death. Their dedication to the country is touching …"

From the golden gongs to the bronze gongs, Inspector Zhang reported his merits one by one, writing in great detail and with great care.

Wei Yuan listened in silence. Even after hearing that three of his subordinates had died in the line of duty, this powerful official remained expressionless and did not reveal his emotions.

"Copper Gong Xu Qi'an, in the process of heading south, solved the iron smuggling case. This matter has already been mentioned, so I won't go into details. However, in the Yun Province case, Xu Qi'an, with his own strength, solved all the clues and found the evidence … He was also the one who discovered Song Zhangfu's conspiracy and turned the case around. The envoy did not wrongly blame a loyal person.

"After the matter was exposed, Song Zhangfu was desperate. He gathered the rebels to close the city gates and besieged me at the Administrative Commissioner's office. When I was in a desperate situation, Xu Qi'an, alone, fought with hundreds of rebels, killed more than two hundred of them, and finally died of exhaustion.

"This official would like to ask for a title of nobility.

"This official is in Yun Province and hopes to meet the emperor as soon as possible. Zhang Xingying kowtows again. "

After reading, the eunuch folded the long booklet and retreated.

The Yuanjing Emperor glanced at the officials who were in an uproar and whispering to each other. His eyes finally fell on Wei Yuan.

This legendary eunuch was known as the most powerful national hand in the past five hundred years in Daibun; this Left Commander of the Five Armies who won the battle of Shanhai Pass and subdued the surrounding countries; this Eunuch Wei, who commanded the night watchmen and supervised the officials and had a bad reputation …

At this moment, he was actually distracted in the court meeting.

"My dear officials, what do you think of Zhang Xingying's report?" The Yuanjing Emperor asked, "Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan …"

He shouted three times in a row, each time louder than the last.

Wei Yuan's whole body trembled, as if he was shocked. Only then did he react and softly said, "Ah?"

The Yuanjing Emperor raised the corner of his mouth, "My dear official Wei seems to be in a bad mood. Zhang Xingying killed the rebellion in Yun Province, this is also your credit. Is my dear official Wei unhappy?"

Wei Yuan did not answer.

In the Ministry of Rites, the Left Commander jumped out and reprimanded, "Wei Yuan, His Majesty is asking you a question."

Wei Yuan still did not answer.

"Forget it!" The Yuanjing Emperor was in a good mood. He waved his hand and discussed with the officials about the report, and rewarded the night watchmen according to their merits.

When it came to Xu Qi'an, there was a disagreement about the posthumous title. A small number of officials agreed to confer the title. More people said it was not appropriate.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. The title of nobility was not an official position, but a "reward" for meritorious people. It was a way for the imperial court to win people's hearts.

In the case of Xu Qi'an, the title of nobility was posthumous, and it was only a posthumous honor.

However, Xu Qi'an was Wei Yuan's confidant, and it was the instinct of the civil officials to argue with Wei Yuan. Secondly, Xu Qi'an had made too many enemies. From the Tax Silver Case to the Sampo Case, and then from the Pingyang Commandery Princess to the Yunzhou Case.

Because of him, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the King's Party was overthrown, the Liang's Party was abolished, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the King's Party was overthrown, and the Minister of the Ministry of Works of the Qi's Party was executed …

The number of people who hated him was uncountable. They were not even willing to give him the posthumous honor.

Among them, the Minister of the Dali Monastery and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who were also part of the Qi's Party, were the most agitated. They spoke passionately and pointed out the shortcomings.

In short, Xu Qi'an did not deserve it.

Although the Minister of the Dali Monastery was part of the Qi's Party, he had colluded with the Minister of the Ministry of Works of the Witchcraft Cult. There was no evidence that the Minister of the Dali Monastery had also colluded with the Witchcraft Cult, so he could stay out of it.

The so-called party was just a political ally, not a relative or family member.

The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a member of the King's Party. His immediate superior had been destroyed by Xu Qi'an in the Sampo Case. The most hateful thing was that the new Minister of the Ministry of Rites was Wei Yuan's man.

The attitude of the officials made the Yuanjing Emperor hesitate. From his point of view, the death of the gong, which was not pleasing to the eye, was certainly not enough to make the Emperor ecstatic, but to be honest, it was quite comfortable.

It was like driving away a buzzing fly.

However, the Yuanjing Emperor was in favor of conferring the title of nobility. Because Xu Qi'an had indeed made a great contribution, conferring the title of nobility would show his clear distinction between reward and punishment.

The Yuanjing Emperor was the most tolerant towards the dead.

However, if most of the officials did not agree, the Yuanjing Emperor would not insist on his own opinion.

When the Yuanjing Emperor was about to announce the end of the topic and reject Zhang Xingying's suggestion, he suddenly saw Wei Yuan step out.

The eunuch walked straight to the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites and raised his hand. "Slap!"

The loud slap resounded in the Imperial Study, instantly suppressing the arguments of the officials. Many people looked over in surprise.

"Slap!"

The Abbot of the Dali Monastery was also slapped. He staggered and fell down. His crown fell off and his hair was disheveled.

"Wow …"

The surprised gazes turned into a hubbub. The Imperial Study was in an uproar.

In the history of Daibun, there were many examples of bad-tempered officials fighting in the court. Moreover, this was the Imperial Study.

However, the one who hit him was Wei Yuan. This was absurd and bizarre.

In the officials' hearts, Wei Yuan was a eunuch who was in charge of the Yamen and the Imperial Censorate. He was labeled as sinister and cunning, black-bellied and vicious, cunning and scheming, etc.

However, he was definitely not impulsive and reckless. If he was that easy to be blackmailed, he would have been killed long ago.

What conspiracy did Wei Yuan have? Did he do it on purpose?

While the officials in the court were thinking, the professional haters did not need to think so much. Several Assistant Ministers of the Six Ministries rushed out in panic and shouted,

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan hit someone in the court. He has no respect for Your Majesty and the law. Your Majesty, please issue a decree to behead this bastard."

The Assistant Minister did not need to think so much. He just needed to take the opportunity to fight back.

Many officials immediately agreed.

Wei Yuan ignored the officials' accusations. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the matter with the Qi Clique is not over yet. Although the Minister of Works has been dealt with, his accomplices are still lurking in the court. In the Sampo Case, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites colluded with the demons. His accomplices are still alive.

"Coincidentally, the capital inspection is taking place. I suggest delaying the inspection and waiting for the truth to come to light before making a decision."

What did he mean?

The officials were shocked. They looked at Wei Yuan in disbelief. He was obviously trying to delay the inspection. Was he trying to stir up trouble?!

Since the beginning of the year, the officials in the capital had experienced fear and vigilance, as well as the infighting from the middle to the end of the year. Everyone was already exhausted.

Even the most combative conspirators wanted to end the inspection as soon as possible so they could recuperate.

Wei Yuan, this bastard, wanted to continue the struggle?

Was he crazy?

Even Wang Zhenwen could not help but turn his head and look at Wei Yuan in shock. Wei Qingyi was expressionless. He was not much different from usual.

As an old opponent, Grand Secretary Wang discovered that right now, he actually couldn't figure out Wei Yuan's intentions.

A moment of anger?

No, how could Wei Yuan be swayed by his emotions? Besides, where did the anger come from?

The Yuanjing Emperor stared at Wei Yuan. After a while, he suddenly realized that the gong named Xu Qi'an had a special place in Wei Yuan's heart.

He pressed his hand down and waited for the officials to quiet down. He said slowly, "Such a complicated case was solved by Xu Qi'an in less than a month. It is really amazing.

"Such a talent dying in the line of duty is a loss to the imperial court. Let's follow Zhang Xingying's report.

"Wei Yuan beat up an official of the imperial court and disregarded the law. His salary will be forfeited for a year. As for the inspection, according to the ancestral rules, there is no need to change it. "

The officials were not surprised by the Yuanjing Emperor's light punishment. Even though they were disappointed, they knew that this kind of thing could not bring down the eunuch.

With the importance of Wei Yuan, the Emperor had a high tolerance for mistakes. Even if he beat up an official of the imperial court once or twice, receiving some punishment was the limit.

What surprised them was that Wei Yuan did not dwell on the inspection and kept his mouth shut.

This made the officials realize that the so-called delay of the inspection was just an excuse for Wei Yuan to vent his anger.

Compared with the light punishment, the officials were more concerned about the reason for Wei Yuan's loss of composure. It turned out that the impeccable Eunuch Wei also had someone that he cared about and made him lose his composure?

Subsequently, the officials started a heated discussion about the posthumous title of nobility for Xu Qi'an.

After some wrangling, Xu Qi'an's title of nobility was decided: the County Magistrate of Changle County.

Viscount!

It could not be inherited.

…

The minor court meeting ended and the officials dispersed. Wei Yuan walked forward without saying a word. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but he walked very fast in front of the officials so that no one could see his expression.

"Adoptive father."

Nangong Qianrou came up to greet him. He was about to ask about the minor court meeting and the urgent document, but he suddenly froze.

Wei Yuan's face was expressionless, but people could easily read his sadness. There was a deep desolation in his eyes that had been washed by the vicissitudes of time.

Without greeting or even nodding, Wei Yuan walked over in silence and passed by Nangong Qianrou. He continued to walk forward in silence.

The hem of his green robe swayed gently. His back was desolate and lonely.

"What happened …" Nangong Qianrou was stunned. He looked at the officials walking behind him, held back the thought of probing, and strode to catch up with Wei Yuan.

On the way back to the yamen of the night watchman, Nangong Qianrou endured it all the way. When they approached the yamen, he finally asked,

"Adoptive father, what happened?"

In the carriage, Wei Yuan's low and hoarse voice sounded, "Xu Qi 'an died in the line of duty."

"This …" Nangong Qianrou's expression froze.

He turned his head and quietly glanced at the carriage. Although the door was blocking his view, he unconsciously slowed down his movements, afraid that Wei Yuan would discover him.

The entire yamen of the night watchman knew that Duke Wei valued Xu Qi 'an, but only Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan knew that his adoptive father held great expectations for Xu Qi' an, just like a craftsman who had discovered a perfect piece of unpolished jade.

He loved him so much that he could not let go of him, and wanted to carve him into a peerless piece of jade. When the jade was completed, it would shock the world.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Nangong Qianrou knew in his heart that this expectation and the importance he attached to Xu Qi 'an far exceeded that of him, his adoptive son.

"Now that Xu Qi 'an died in the line of duty, I can imagine my adoptive father's mood …" Nangong Qianrou sighed in his heart.

He had thought that he would be secretly happy. The appearance of Xu Qi 'an made him jealous and unbalanced. He had thought countless times that it would be better if that guy had never appeared.

"Adoptive father still cares about me the most."

Now that he heard the news of Xu Qi 'an's death, Nangong Qianrou did not feel happy at all. Instead, he felt a sense of loss and emptiness in his heart.

At this moment, the reins in his hand suddenly fell off. Nangong Qianrou was shocked to find that the reins in his hand had been crushed into powder at some point.

Back at the yamen, Nangong Qianrou followed Wei Yuan into the Building of Noble Spirit. When they reached the seventh floor, Wei Yuan paused at the entrance of the tea room and said in a low voice,

"You go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

Nangong Qianrou wanted to say something but hesitated. He bowed and left, but he did not leave. Instead, he waited outside the tea room.

The tea room was quiet. The afternoon sun shone on the observation deck, making it spacious and bright.

Wei Yuan flipped through the official documents as usual as if nothing had happened. He was still the great eunuch who did not show his emotions on his face.

The sun gradually moved to the west. The dusk sunlight was orange-red, making the clouds in the west look as if they were burning.

Wei Yuan had not flipped through a single page of the official document in his hand. He had been sitting there for five hours.

Closing the official document, Wei Yuan pinched the area between his eyebrows and called out, "Qianrou."

"Adoptive father …" Nangong Qianrou came in when he heard the voice. His delicate face was filled with worry.

"Gather all the Jinluo in the yamen," Wei Yuan said.

Nangong Qianrou left. Not long after, he returned with six Jinluo.

At this moment, Wei Yuan stood in the middle of the tea room with his hands clasped behind his back. He was silently examining the Jinluo.

"Duke Wei." The Jinluo cupped their fists.

Wei Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly, "Order all the spies scattered outside to infiltrate the countries in the northeast. I want the Witchcraft Cult's defense layout in the southwest before the beginning of summer, at all costs. "

The Jinluo's Zhang Tai was shocked. "Duke Wei …"

The other Jinluo's were also shocked.

Wei Yuan said faintly, "I'm going to attack the Witchcraft Cult after the autumn harvest."

As expected … The Jinluo's carefully observed Wei Yuan and finally noticed that there was something wrong with this great eunuch. In the past, Duke Wei had always been aloof and had a calm demeanor that matched his status.

But today's Duke Wei was different from the past. His eyes, which were full of vicissitudes of life, burned with a sharp edge and fighting spirit.

This kind of fighting spirit and determination could only be found in the Shanhai Pass Campaign.

The Jinluo's lowered their heads and replied formally, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Jinluo's Jinluo's left the Grand Spirit Building. One of the Jinluo's Jinluo frowned and said, "I'm afraid the imperial court won't start a war easily."

Nangong Qianrou sneered. The imperial court wouldn't start a war easily, but the Witchcraft Cult and the countries in the northeast. As long as he took the initiative to send the confidential information through secret channels, the Witchcraft Cult would take the bait.

When the border was invaded, His Majesty and the officials in the imperial court wouldn't turn a blind eye.

With his foster father's means, it was up to him to attack the Witchcraft Cult, not His Majesty.

Zhang Tai looked at Nangong Qianrou and asked with a frown, "Did something happen in the imperial court today? Duke Wei is acting strange. "

Nangong Qianrou nodded and said, "There was an urgent letter from Zhang Xingying of Yun Province this morning. As my foster father expected, Yun Province has rebelled. "

After a pause, he glanced at the Jinluo's Jinluo's and said in a low voice, "Xu Qi 'an died in the line of duty."

All the Golden Gongs raised their heads abruptly and looked towards the Grand Qi Tower.

…

At this time, Xu Qi 'an was still floating on the water.

The one who kidnapped Liang Youping wasn't the Act Tough King?!

An indescribable horror rose in Xu Qi 'an's heart. It was like taking a selfie in an abandoned house, and when the photo was washed, he found a female ghost in white with disheveled hair standing behind him.

That kind of horror sent a chill down his spine and numb his scalp.

"You really didn't kidnap Liang Youping?" Xu Qi 'an asked.

"When have I, Yang Qianhuan, ever lied?" the Act Tough King said calmly.

The task given to him by his teacher was to secretly watch over Xu Qi 'an. Although the Act Tough King didn't know why his teacher gave such an order, he had always been a well-behaved disciple.

He was reliable!

Since he had promised to watch over Xu Qi 'an, he would never do anything unnecessary.

The Yun Province case had nothing to do with him. Whether the case was solved or not was up to the Inspector. Later, when Xu Qi 'an walked into the trap, he had no choice but to step in and expose himself.

Get lost, you lied to me that you didn't read the letter … If not for the fact that he was not in the mood, Xu Qi 'an would have slapped the Act Tough King's face until it was swollen.

Liang Youping wasn't kidnapped by Yang Qianhuan? If that was the case, the whole case would have to be restarted … Could it be that the mastermind was not Song Zhangfu, but someone else, such as Yang Chuannan?

The Yun Province case was originally just a case where the spy, Zhou Min, found out that Yang Chuannan embezzled military supplies and supported mountain bandits … Until I accidentally found out that the Qi Party and the Witchcraft Sect colluded, which led to the subsequent Inspector coming to Yun Province to investigate the case.

Could the truth of the case be like this:

Yang Chuannan found out that his plot was exposed by the spy, so he asked the Dream Witch to kill Zhou Min, deciphered the secret code, and found the evidence … Then he set up the ruse of injuring himself to gain the confidence of others. The key to turning the tables was Liang Youping.

First, he purposely asked Liang Youping to wait for me at the dog meat shop, then he used Li Miaozhen to expose Liang Youping's identity to attract my attention … Then he sent Liang Youping to Inspector Zhang. Using this to turn the tables, he made us believe that the mastermind was Song Zhangfu, so he could escape easily?

At that time, Liang Youping's fate energy was indeed blocked. The Celestial Commissioner's Qi Observation Technique couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

Xu Qi 'an pondered for a long time and rejected this speculation. There were three reasons:

First, there was no need to go through so much trouble to make the case so complicated. It would only expose more flaws. The simpler the case, the harder it was to solve. As the saying goes, the weirder the weapon, the faster you die. The case was the same.

As long as Yang Chuannan destroyed the evidence, even if everyone thought he was the mastermind, Inspector Zhang wouldn't be able to do anything to a Second Rank Commander.

This was the safest method.

Second, the reason why Inspector Zhang and the others, including Xu Qi 'an, believed Liang Youping's words was mainly because they thought that the person who helped him was Yang Qianhuan.

Looking back at the case, when Liang Youping was sent to the relay station, Inspector Zhang and the others were skeptical of Liang Youping's confession. At that time, Inspector Zhang's response was to arrest Song Zhangfu and confront Liang Youping.

In the end, Song Zhangfu "committed suicide to escape punishment". Immediately after that, all the armies in Cloud State rebelled. The incidents were too closely linked, there was no time to verify the truth of the case.

It was only when Yang Qianhuan appeared that everyone realized that the Warlock was Yang Qianhuan. It made sense.

Therefore, Liang Youping "walked right into the trap" had a reasonable explanation.

However, after Yang Qianhuan helped Jiang Lüzhong to kill the Dream Witch, he left immediately. The follow-up verification couldn't be carried out.

Xu Qi 'an listed this as a reason because it was impossible for Yang Chuannan to know that Yang Qianhuan came to Cloud State. Therefore, this Warlock who appeared out of nowhere was an unexplainable point in the hearts of Inspector Zhang and the others.

Even though he could kill Inspector Zhang with the subsequent betrayal, but since he could kill Inspector Zhang and the others, was there a need to make such a fanciful scene?

On the contrary, the Dream Witch's explanation was more reasonable. The reason why he tolerated it was because he wanted to push Yang Chuannan to take the blame. When the matter was exposed, he had no choice but to carry out his final plan, which was to silence him.

Third, if Yang Chuannan was the mastermind behind the scenes, the rebels who followed him to rebel would have already sold him out. Those rebels in Cloud State's officialdom, how could they not know which boss they were following?

This was a rebellion, not a gangster mingling in the underworld.

"The mastermind behind the scenes should be Song Zhangfu, but what's up with that Warlock who appeared out of nowhere?"

"A wild Warlock can cultivate to such a state? You must know, the Warlock system has only existed for about 600 years, unlike Warrior and other systems, which have existed for a long time and have a large number of wild practitioners. "

"And even if it is the Confucian system that has been passed down, their control over the method of cultivation is still very strict. Only the fatherless Warrior (Surpassing Rank) can be found everywhere. This is also another reason why the major systems look down on Warrior."

"Also, that unknown Warlock, why did he help me? What is his motive? "

Xu Qi 'an suddenly thought of something, that is, the Warlock in the Silver Tax Case, the Warlock who made the fake silver and the Warlock in Cloud State case, could it be the same person, or the same force?

If that is the case, the option of helping me can be eliminated … This bunch of bastards, they almost caused me to be exiled for a thousand miles, caused second uncle to be sentenced to death … Xu Qi 'an pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Celestial Commissioner, it's not that simple.

"Cough cough …" Xu Qi 'an coughed: "I have something to tell Senior Brother Yang."

"Speak."

Xu Qi 'an told Yang Qianhuan the existence of the unknown Warlock, and then asked: "Is our Celestial Commissioner hiding any secrets?"

"Our Celestial Commissioner?" Yang Qianhuan asked with his back facing him.

"Anyway, Miss Caiwei will marry me sooner or later."

"Ha." Yang Qianhuan sneered, and then said in a serious tone: "Celestial Commissioner does have some secrets, for example, my teacher never talks about the grandmaster, but I know in my heart that my teacher once killed his teacher."

Killed his teacher … Xu Qi 'an recalled the previous chapter, and remembered the relevant information about the Initial Supervisor in the investigation of the Sampo Case.

The Initial Supervisor supported the old royal family 500 years ago, the original King of the Sea Conqueror. After Emperor Wuzong usurped the throne, the Supervisor became the current Supervisor.

The information about the Initial Supervisor was erased from history.

It was erased so cleanly that even Princess Huaiqing, a female scholar who could study history, could not find any bit of information. It was through the preaching of Buddhism 500 years ago that he made a breakthrough.

It turned out that the Supervisor really killed his teacher. It was just a guess at the beginning, but now it was confirmed … Xu Qi 'an said: "Senior Brother Yang, do you mean that the Warlock who appeared in Yunzhou is related to the Initial Supervisor?"

Yang Qianhuan shook his head: "I don't know this. Don't ask so much. You don't understand the Warlock system. Even I, a rare man in the world, don't know what the first and second grade Warlocks are called."

Xu Qi 'an was no longer a newbie. Generally speaking, this situation meant that knowing the information about the first and second grade Warlocks, one could know a lot of secrets of the Warlock system, and this kind of secret could not be known by outsiders.

"Then do you know what grade the Warlock who can hide his aura is? Senior Brother Yang, can you do it? "Xu Qi 'an was unwilling to give up and tried to test him.

"I can tell you this," Yang Qianhuan said. "Normal Warlocks can hide their fate energy, it's not difficult. To be able to shield others' fate energy, one must be at least at the Sixth Rank.

"But as you said, that Liang Youping can hide from the divination and curses of a fourth grade Warlock. Only one grade Warlock can do this. What Liang Youping is shielded from is not his fate energy, but his fate, a secret of the heavens."

After a pause, he said: "A third grade Warlock, a Master of Heavenly Secrets."

… Third grade?! The Warlock in the Yunzhou case was a third grade Warlock?! Xu Qi 'an was stunned and felt that his brain was not enough to process it.

The Yunzhou case actually involved a third grade Warlock!

If that was the case, a fourth grade Array Master like Yang Qianhuan would definitely not be able to do it. Damn it, if I knew such important information earlier, I … I would have pretended that I didn't know anything.

Xu Qi 'an thought: Even if I saw through a third grade Warlock's plan, I can't say it out loud.

This isn't cowardice, it's the thinking of an adult.

They have to give each other face.

"Remember to keep it a secret, don't tell anyone, especially about teacher killing his teacher." Yang Qianhuan paused and added:

"I'm not afraid of teacher, I just feel that, at his age, he can't lose his integrity in his old age. I have to give him some face as a human. "

The more you explain, the more guilty you look … I don't dare to say anything, the Supervisor can kill me with one finger … Xu Qi 'an nodded and agreed: "I also feel that I should give the Supervisor some face."

Yang Qianhuan smiled: "You are indeed an interesting man, just like me."

The history of the Celestial Commissioner was not long, many things were actually easy to investigate, unlike the Taoist Primogenitor and the Confucian Sages, the latter was a figure from thousands of years ago, and the former was completely out of historical records.

Xu Qi 'an planned to investigate the Celestial Commissioner after returning to the capital, and also investigate Susu's family affairs. He wasn't lusting after her body, she didn't have a body.

"Gurgle, gurgle …"

Xu Qi 'an was a little hungry, he immediately came out of the coffin: "I'm going to find something to eat."

Yang Qianhuan asked: "Then how are you going to explain your resurrection?"

Xu Qi 'an suddenly froze. Yes, how was he going to explain his resurrection?

The big shots in the capital were not easy to fool, and now he was no longer the little fast hand of Changle County. Oh, this year, he was still a little fast hand.

He was the little fast hand of the past.

Xu Qi 'an silently lay back in the coffin: "I won't show up first, wait until I get to the capital, then ask my father's opinion. Senior Brother Yang, I'll have to trouble you with the food. "

Yang Qianhuan nodded, indicating no problem, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't your parents die when you were a child, and Second Uncle raised you?"

"In fact, I am Wei Yuan's illegitimate son."

"What?!" Yang Qianhuan turned pale with fright.

Xu Qi 'an was Wei Yuan's illegitimate son, Wei Yuan actually had an illegitimate son?

…

Inner city, Xu Mansion.

The next morning, Nangong Qianrou knocked on the door of Xu Mansion with two gongs.

In fact, the side door was already open, but with his status in Jinluo, he naturally had to go through the middle door.

The gatekeeper Lao Zhang opened the middle door and saw the three night watchmen, he quickly lowered his head and said: "Sirs, what can I do for you?"

Because Dalang was a night watchman, he had a certain understanding of the level and rank of the night watchmen.

This female night watchman had a golden gong embroidered on her chest, at first glance, her status was higher than Dalang.

At this time, the sky had just brightened, Nangong Qianrou glanced at Lao Zhang, looked into the mansion, and said: "Is Baihu Xu Pingzhi of the Imperial Blade Guard in the mansion?"

He was under the orders of his godfather to give Xu Qi 'an a pension of three hundred taels of silver.

The value of the gong was only that much, the rules were rules.

But Nangong Qianrou knew that in the future, the dividends that the Xu family would receive would definitely be immeasurable. For example, the position of baihu of the Imperial Blade Guard could be promoted.

The scholar of Yunlu Academy who was about to participate in the Spring Examination would not be sent to a remote county in the future.

"Yes, yes, Master and Madam are currently eating in the back hall. Sirs, please eat in the front hall, I will call Master. "

The gatekeeper Lao Zhang respectfully led the three night watchmen into the front hall, and ordered the servants to serve hot tea.

The two gong thanked him politely, their attitude was very friendly.

Nangong Qianrou did not take the tea, and said: "No need to waste time, lead me there."
