Nightwatcher

The second princess lived in "Shaoyin Palace", a spacious and elegant garden.

The chief guard led Xu Qi'an across the high threshold, around the screen wall, and in front of him was a courtyard full of innocence.

There are swings hanging from the vine trellises, tattered clay dolls piled up in the corners, and many strange things can be vaguely piled up in the gazebo to the east.

On the edge of the flower garden in the west, the second princess Lin'an is playing hydrangea with a few maidservants. The women's chattering noise is sometimes mixed with the silver bell-like laughter of Princess Lin'an.

"Your Highness, Xu Qi'an will bring you here." The chief guard clasped his fists and said loudly.

The second princess stepped on the hydrangea ball, turned around and looked over, she stared at Xu Qi'an for a few seconds, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and kicked the hydrangea ball away.

boom!

The hydrangea flew, and Princess Lin'an's skirt suddenly exploded into a circle, like a blooming flower.

Xu Qi'an, who had been given a prestige when meeting him, was terrified. He was about to dodge, but he held back suddenly. The hydrangea shot missed, and bounced into the distance.

"Forgive you once." The second princess forcibly took the honor, walked towards the front hall, and said: "Xu Qi'an, you come in with me, and the others are waiting outside."

In the luxurious and grand front hall, the second princess was sitting on the big chair, and Xu Qi'an was standing in the hall. The two looked at each other silently.

The second princess tried to force Xu Qi'an to subdue with the blessing of her status as a princess.

She knew that when Huaiqing was young, he had survived an eagle for a period of time. The eagle's eyes were the sharpest, like knives, and ordinary people could not look at it for a long time.

Once the falconer looks away, he loses his qualifications to be a falcon master.

The purpose of Huaiqing's boiled eagle is to sharpen his sharp eyes, and the second princess still dare not look at Huaiqing for a long time.

It's a pity that her watery peach blossom eyes are really not lethal, when staring straight at people, there is a kind of passion that wants to talk.

Xu Qi'an looked at the second princess. She had a round face, somewhat similar to Chu Caiwei's, but the latter was sweet and hidden, with big two-dimensional eyes.

The second princess is a little sister-in-law beauty, with peach blossom eyes, everyone is full of affection.

"Xu Qi'an, I heard that you are Huaiqing's loyal dog." The second princess saw that she was staring fiercely and couldn't deter Xu Qi'an, so she sneered and turned to attack with words.

"Yes, my name is Hachiko." Xu Qi'an said sincerely.

"What is Hachiko?"

"It's a loyal dog."

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Princess Lin'an raised her eyebrows.

"Don't dare." Xu Qi'an said neither humble nor overbearing.

Princess Lin'an snorted coquettishly, and said: "This Palace will give you a chance, now immediately join me and get rid of that woman Huaiqing. Otherwise"

Take refuge in you? I have already hugged the eldest princess's jade leg and Wei Yuan's thigh, if I take refuge in you again, won't I become a slave of the three families?

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "I'm sorry, I have already sworn that I will work like a horse for the eldest princess, with all my heart and soul."

The second princess immediately said: "Then I also want you to be my cow and horse."

Then will you give me grass? Xu Qi'an understood the situation, the second princess saw that he was appreciated by the eldest princess, he was a pony beside the eldest princess, he was handsome, could write poems, and spoke nicely, so she became jealous and wanted to snatch him away from the eldest princess .

"Second princess, don't force others to make things difficult for you." Xu Qi'an sternly refused, people must have the spirit of contract, since they promised to work for the eldest princess, they can no longer rely on other people.

"If you don't want to," the second princess opened her eyes wide, sneered, and threatened, "I'll yell indecently right now and tell the guards that you're trying to molest me."

"I'm willing to do my best for the second princess, like an ox or a horse." Xu Qi'an said sincerely.

The second princess suddenly became happy, "He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man, you are a talent, after noon every day, you will come here to see me, and I will be sent by me."

"Your Highness, I have an errand to investigate the Sangbo case." Xu Qi'an sighed.

"That's right." Princess Lin'an thought for a while, "Then let's forget about tomorrow. You can come again when I want to order you."

Xu Qi'an understood that this woman was just messing around, she didn't really ask him to do something, she was just trying to find fault with the eldest princess.

The threat just now was not very lethal, and the reputation of the majestic princess would cost him the life of a small gong, blood loss!

It was precisely because he understood it that he changed his attitude and agreed to the second princess, treating it as playing with the children and dealing with it casually.

"You step back." The second princess was in a good mood, because things were going well.

"yes."

"Wait," the second princess called to him, took off the jade pendant on her waist, and said, "This is my palace's keepsake, but you can enter the palace with this, and the guards will not stop you, but you can only go to this palace, you can't go to other places. .”

So generous? You're probably a hammer. Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, he took the jade pendant and put it in his arms: "From now on, I will do my best to serve His Highness wholeheartedly."

Xu Qi'an, a slave of the three families, left the imperial city before dusk, and rode his horse back to the Daganren Yamen.

The yamen has been dismissed, and only the watchmen and officials on duty are left, which is much colder and quieter than in the daytime.

Just as Xu Qi'an entered the yamen, a golden gong with a high nose and a broad forehead walked towards him, Zhu Chengzhu's father, Zhu Yang.

When the enemies met, there was no jealousy, they just looked at each other sullenly.

"Zhu Jinluo, how is Young Master Ling's injury?" Xu Qi'an smiled as he took out his waist card and tied it around his waist confidently.

Zhu Yang glanced at the gold medal, calmly, and said calmly: "You are destined to die. I'm afraid Master Xu will have to go first."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand, smiling kindly: "I'll wait for him on the road, let's meet him."

Zhu Yang stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded: "Investigate the case carefully."

"Let's go, Zhu Jinluo."

Entering the side hall of Chunfeng Hall, the Tonggong belonging to Li Yuchun and several arresters of the government office are still there.

Hearing footsteps, Li Yuchun came out of the Spring Breeze Hall and said, "The death of County Magistrate Zhao has some clues, um, it may not be the work of the Taoist sect."

Xu Qi'an nodded, did not enter the side hall, followed Li Yuchun into the Spring Breeze Hall.

"This afternoon, Chen Fuyin invited Si Tianjian's white clothes, interrogated the jailers and subordinates who were on duty at night, and confirmed that there was no problem with them. It was further confirmed that Zhao County Magistrate did die silently in the early hours of the morning. In prison."

Li Yuchun poured a cup of tea for Xu Qi'an, who is both a subordinate and a superior, and said, "The yin gods of Taoism can do this, and they can also bypass guards and jailers silently. But after checking the information today, I found that there is another The system can do that."

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea and listened patiently.

"Wizard!" Li Yuchun said.

"wizard?"

"Have you ever heard of Witchcraft?"

"Sorcerer God, I heard from you, the boss, that the Sorcerer God Sect is a sect founded by the Sorcerer God for people who are beyond the rank of gods and gods?"

Li Yuchun said "Yes": "Witch gods are the gods that all countries in the Northeast believe in. The Witch God religion has supreme power in the Northeast, just like the Buddhism of the Western Regions has over all countries."

Dafeng is the supremacy of imperial power, and the same is true for the northern tribes.

But the Western Regions and the Northeast are the supremacy of theocracy, and the sects are the real masters.

"Can wizards stand shoulder to shoulder with Taoism in the realm of primordial spirit?" Xu Qi'an humbly asked for advice.

"No, there is no system in the Yuanshen realm that can compare with Taoism." Li Yuchun shook his head and said, "But the fourth-rank wizard is also called dream witch, who can weave dreams and kill people in dreams.

"Seventy years ago, there was a war between the Northern Monster Race and the Witch God Cult because of their territory. According to the intelligence sent back by the spy who beat the watchman, a group of two thousand Monster Race soldiers died silently in the barracks. They didn't have any wounds, they all went to sleep and never woke up."

The case of how the fourth-rank wizard involved the wizard again is too difficult.

Renzong is now the state religion of Dafeng, and the head of Taoism is the state teacher. This is already a supreme honor. What are the benefits of helping the king of Zhenbei to usurp the throne?

It's impossible to go up, it's full level.

Therefore, it is more likely that the Sorcerer Sect is involved. If Meng Wu was the one who killed the county magistrate Zhao, then the forces behind the Sangbo case: the mastermind behind the scenes (King of Zhenbei), the Northern Monster Race, and the Northeast Sorcerer Sect!

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea, unable to hide the tiredness in his eyes.

"It's not nothing. At least now we can preliminarily rule out Renzong, and the case has made some progress." Xu Qi'an said:

"Boss, report this to Duke Wei."

Li Yuchun nodded, also with a sad face: "I always feel that the end of the Gengzi year is the beginning of chaos."

"Let's just solve the case, don't live on waste oil, and worry about the country and the community." Xu Qi'an patted him on the shoulder and left the yamen.

It was completely dark when I got home, I had been hungry all day, and my stomach was rumbling. After eating the food warmed up by the cook and drinking the milk offered by sister Lingyue, he returned to the small courtyard and fell asleep.

On the third day, when Xu Qi'an rode to the yamen in the dim light of day, he happened to see Chu Caiwei, who was wearing a yellow dress, also riding a horse across the street, rattling over.

She held the rein in one hand and the oil paper bag in her arms with the other, revealing half of the white bun. Following the bumps of the horse, she tried hard to jump out.

"Do you want to eat?" Chu Caiwei generously handed over a steamed stuffed bun, and added: "Meat."

The emotion in Xu Qi'an's heart was like hearing that Xu Lingyin only drank a bowl of porridge because she was worried about herself. This foodie treats me like one of his own.

Xu Qi'an took the bun and put it in his mouth, then threw the reins to the official at the door.

Walking inside while eating, he asked, "Any clues?"

Chu Caiwei said: "I asked. Brother Song Qing said that excluding some of the magic tools in the palace and the magic tools of the Sitianjian, the magic tools that can block the qi-watching technique are probably only in the Buddhist sect. Well, not those The Buddhist temple for mortals is Qinglong Temple."

Qinglong Temple? !

Xu Qi'an, the inheritance left by the pagoda temple, was both surprised and not surprised.

Sure enough, Buddhism is inseparable from the Sangbo case.

Si Tianjian, the royal family, the Witch God Sect, the Northern Monster Clan, the King of Zhenbei, and the small buddhist sects together in the Sangbo case involved so many powerful forces.
