Nightwatcher

"The lower officials were ordered to investigate the Sang Bo case. After many investigations, they found that this case was actually related to Yu Wang." Xu Qi'an said with emotion.

King Yu glanced at him, and shook his head calmly: "This king has long since retired, so it shouldn't be to criticize and slander, tell me, what's going on?"

That being said, there was disapproval and contempt in his eyes. Obviously he didn't believe what Xu Qi'an said.

"More than a year ago, there was a monk named Heng Hui in Qinglong Temple who had an affair with a female pilgrim, and the two decided to spend their lives privately, and fled with a magic weapon from Qinglong Temple that can cover up the breath.

"Because that woman's identity is extraordinary, if she doesn't carry a magic weapon to conceal her breath, she can't escape the boundary of the capital at all."

Yu Wang, who was drinking tea with his head down, suddenly raised his head, staring at Xu Qi'an, staring at him firmly.

Xu Qi'an said: "That monk's name is Heng Hui, Yu Wang may not know his name, but he probably knows a woman, she is your daughter-in-law Princess Pingyang."

boom!

King Yu crushed the blue and white teacup abruptly, with a ferocious expression mixed with agitation, he said angrily: "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, Pingyang has been educated since he was a child, how could he elope with a wild monk, come here, come here, give me this thief Drag it down and cut it!"

The guards outside the hall rushed in and surrounded Xu Qi'an. He didn't panic at all. He looked at the old father with his teeth and claws, but felt a little emotional. Any father would break his mind after hearing such news.

But for Yu Wang, this is just an appetizer.

After the guards rushed in, Yu Wang, who was furious just a moment ago, suddenly became discouraged, waved his hand, and let the guards back out.

"Yes, I'm not surprised. Before Pingyang disappeared, I arranged a marriage for her, but she strongly opposed it, and even said that she has someone she likes." Yu Wang smiled wryly:

"It's so absurd. Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words. How can she, a woman, make her own decisions? How does she know that others are not deceiving her and have other plans for her."

Although I don't agree with the words of parents' order and matchmaker's words, for this era, free love is indeed extremely deadly. After all, there is no way to become a natural common sense like in my era.

Xu Qi'an nodded.

"When I heard these words, I flew into a rage and slapped her. Not long after, she disappeared. She must have been abducted by that wild man, that's what I thought.

"In the beginning, I gritted my teeth with hatred, hated her for being shameless, and hated her for embarrassing the clan. But the more time passed, the more I missed her, and I just wanted her to come back, come back to me, and call me my father." , I don't care about anything else."

Maybe, you will never see her again.

From the conversation between Henghui and Uncle Yuan's son that night, it is not difficult to hear that Henghui died once. If Henghui is like this, what about the Princess Pingyang who eloped with him?

The woman faced nothing more than three kinds of endings: 1. She died. Two, being occupied by others.

The third is a combination of the first two.

"I'm not here to expose King Yu's scars, nor to tell you who the man who eloped with Princess Pingyang is." Xu Qi'an said.

Yu Wang was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. He threw himself in front of Xu Qi'an in three steps at a time, clasped his wrist with one hand, and grabbed his neckline with the other, "Do you have any news about her? Where is she, where is she!! "

Xu Qi'an frowned.

"This king has lost his composure." King Yu let go of his hands, took a step back, straightened his back, suddenly bowed and said in a deep voice:

"If Mr. Xu can help me find her, I owe you a great favor. I will definitely repay you in the future."

"I came here precisely for this matter of Pingyuan Bofu's extermination case, has the prince heard about it?"

"Not yet." King Yu was a little surprised.

"What is the relationship between the prince and Uncle Ping Yuan?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"He is also a member of the nobles, and he used to have frequent contacts. However, Uncle Pingyuan is ambitious and unwilling to reconcile with the power he has. He flirts with civil officials and is rejected by other nobles." Yuwang said.

Xu Qi'an nodded, and continued: "I heard that the prince almost entered the cabinet?"

King Yu was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty did have this idea last year, the cabinet is now controlled by Wang Zhenwen, although there are other parties and Wei Yuan to check and balance, it can only barely maintain a balance.

"I have honors behind me, and I am also a clan. His Majesty wants to help me into the cabinet and stir up the muddy water."

Emperor Yuan Jing is very powerful. Although he ignores the government all the year round and throws money at every turn, he still maintains a high degree of control over the government after more than ten years of slacking off.

"The prince is recuperating in the mansion now, who will benefit the most?"

"Shoufu Wang Zhenwen, and Minister of War Zhang Fenghe, that was originally my position." Yu Wang smiled helplessly.

After talking so much, he couldn't hide his fatigue, Xu Qi'an also knew the information he wanted to know, and got up to leave.

The horse's hooves are brisk. This young filly was first ridden by her second uncle for several years, and now she is ridden by her nephew. Although the people on it are different, she does not feel sad at all, and is still docile and happy.

Xu Qi'an's mood was not so brisk. According to King Yu's words, the elopement between Princess Pingyang and Heng Hui might be a game in itself.

Can't handle you, can't you also handle your daughter?

People who play politics, what means can't do it? This possibility is extremely high.

Henghui's revenge also confirmed this point.

"Who could it be, Wang Shoufu? Zhang Shangshu? Or both? But there is a problem here. What does the struggle between the Civil Service Group and the Xungui Group have to do with the Sangbo case and the Yaozu?"

"Aside from Emperor Yuan Jing, who else knows that there is something sealed under Sangbo?"

"Not good, Henghui's next target for revenge is either the Chief Assistant or the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Xu Qi'an's heart sank, he clamped the horse's belly hard, and rode the horse towards Miyagi at the fastest speed, but was intercepted at the entrance of Miyagi.

"Is Duke Wei still in the palace?"

"It's been half an hour since I left." Habayashi Wei, who was guarding the castle, replied.

Xu Qi'an immediately turned his horse's head, left the imperial city all the way, galloped for a long time in the spacious streets of the inner city, and finally saw Wei Yuan's carriage.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching quickly behind him, Wei Yuan's guard turned around vigilantly, and grasped the handle of the knife tightly.

But after seeing that it was Xu Qi'an, he relaxed his vigilance again.

"Wei Gong, Wei Gong has something to report." Xu Qi'an shouted.

Jiang Luzhong heard Wei Yuan's voice coming from the carriage: "Stop."

He immediately reined in the horse and stopped.

Xu Qi'an rode his horse to the car window and said in a low voice, "Duke Wei, I have something urgent to report from my humble position."

The curtain of the car window was lifted, the handsome old man with profound facial features and frosty temples frowned and said, "When will you be able to correct the problem of intermittent reporting?"

After complaining about Xu Qi'an, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Henghui's next target is very likely to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, or Wang Shoufu. If something happens to these two, you will be in trouble, Mr. Wei." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, returned to the mansion in a carriage, and asked the housekeeper who came up to meet him: "Where is Yi'er?"

The butler replied, "I haven't gotten up yet."

Minister of the Ministry of War had a gloomy face and said, "Let him get fully dressed and meet me in the study within a quarter of an hour."

The old butler took a cautious look at Zhang Shangshu's face, and took his orders.

Zhang Feng returned to the study, took off his robe and gave it to his followers. He sat on the big chair, leaned back, closed his eyes and rested.

A quarter of an hour was about to pass, and Zhang Yi, Zhang Feng's eldest son, took the time to come in.

"Father, what are you calling me for?" Zhang Yi's face was slightly pale, and his swollen eye bags and deep dark circles revealed his identity as a master of time management.

"Clean up your things and leave the capital immediately." Zhang Shangshu said the words that he had carefully considered.

"ah?"

"Go now!" Zhang Feng looked sternly.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yi has always been afraid of his father, and he will do whatever he says.

With the help of servants in the mansion, Zhang Yi packed clothes, dry food, gold and silver and other portable items. He rushed towards the outer city with more than a dozen followers who were raised in the mansion.

Unexpectedly, when the carriage arrived at the gate of the inner city, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped him after inquiring about his identity.

"Your Majesty has an order that officials of the sixth rank or above, including family members, are not allowed to leave the capital."

At dusk, Chu Caiwei, who had spent a day in the Princess's mansion, came to Xu's mansion on horseback and knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

"Caiwei." Xu Qi'an had already taken off his official uniform at this moment, and changed into ordinary clothes, which Ling Yue sewed for him stitch by stitch.

The younger sister has the thread in her hand, and the older brother puts on the shirt.

Chu Caiwei took out two porcelain vases from the deerskin pouch on her waist: "Save and eat, Dali Wan is very expensive, two taels of silver per pill."

One grain is half a month's salary. Chu Caiwei is actually an invisible rich woman. She has an airport at a young age. It doesn't matter whether she is a disciple of the supervisor or not. The main reason is to bring her up. Xu Qi'an envies this "rich second generation" , although he has more than 900 taels of gold, the money is used to buy a house.

"Miss Caiwei, come in and have a cup of tea." Xu Qi'an had a bewitching smile on his face.

Chu Caiwei blushed and gave a "bah", and said angrily, "The sun is going down soon, what is your intention in inviting me to the hospital at this time."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at him, took the rein of the horse, and walked away with his little butt.

Hmph, the front is not convex and the back is not upturned, Xiao Xiao is ridiculous to A, Xu Qi'an also gave her a blank look at her back, and closed the yard.

When the Sangbo case is over, make a crude version of chicken essence and reward this girl.

After dinner in the main house, and chatting with the beautiful and refined girl for a long time, Xu Qi'an returned to his small courtyard, and vomited in the room for half an hour.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, he heard Qingyue's meowing.

"The door is unlocked." Xu Qi'an said.

The door was pushed open, and an orange cat walked in with graceful steps, its tail was raised high, its yellow-orange cat eyes stared at him, and it spit out:

"What did Luo Yuheng say?"

Did Daoist Jinlian open the door to some new world? Or a special hobby?

Xu Qi'an looked at the orange cat, and said: "Juyuan Pill has been obtained."

PS: This case has been written for a long time, mainly because it is too important. It can be said that it is the cornerstone of this book, and it will affect the second, third, and fourth volumes later. I had to extend its length and have enough space to buy foreshadowing. Well, it's over soon, there are only a few chapters left.

PS: By the way, the update at noon tomorrow may be delayed until the afternoon or evening. I have something to go out in the morning and cannot code in the office.
