Nightwatcher

After a brief silence, the princes in the court inevitably began to discuss that the Sangbo case has been investigated and now, the ins and outs of the case have been widely known.

Zhou Baihu, the former Jinwu guard who fled abroad, was the chief culprit who had fornicated the monster clan and smuggled gunpowder into the imperial city.

As for whether it is the culprit or not, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. Anyway, among the bigwigs in the court, it is rare for them to have low IQs. Therefore, Wei Yuan's words were like a boulder falling into a temple, causing an uproar.

Although Wei Yuan, an extinct old eunuch, is annoying, he is also a respectable opponent. His words still have a high gold content.

Someone is going to die. This is the unanimous inner thought of the court chiefs.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites suddenly changed color, his gray beard trembled, his pupils froze instantly, staring straight at Wei Yuan.

This old man has always been praised for his energy-raising skills, and it is rare for him to lose his composure like this.

Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice, "Xuan!"

Xu Qi'an sat in the driving seat, opened the curtain and looked at Zhou Chixiong. This guy was still in a coma. In order to fear that this person would commit suicide, Xu Qi'an asked Chu Caiwei for a large dose of drug.

The reason why he chose Yunlu Academy to take over this person, instead of taking him into the fragments of the underground book, Xu Qi'an had two concerns: First, this person is in the realm of refining gods, and his rank is higher than him, so he dare not take risks.

Second, the existence of fragments of underground scriptures is a secret, and it cannot be shown openly to others. It is impossible to enter the Golden Luan Hall and take out the fragments of underground scriptures in front of the emperor and court ministers.

Of course, if there is no other way, he will still choose to use the book from the ground, but now that he has enough contacts to handle affairs, he tries not to use the book from the ground as much as possible.

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang Qianhuan, who is Lord Jianzheng's number one disciple?" While waiting for the news from the court hall, Xu Qi'an chatted with Senior Brother Song.

Brother Song's dark circles are rare in the world. In his previous life, he would definitely be considered a fan of multiplayer sports, but Song Qing is a man of science and technology who is not close to women.

He only sees humans and beasts, not women.

"He is Caiwei's and I's senior brother, the teacher's third disciple." Song Qing approached him a few steps, and whispered: "My senior brother has a brain problem."

The disciples of Jianzheng, do you have a normal mind? Xu Qi'an expressed doubts about this, and imitated Yang Qianhuan's standing posture with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Qing nodded again and again: "He always likes to turn his back to people, and he doesn't speak well. His brothers are very annoying to him, but he himself is not ashamed, but complacent."

"Why is this?" Xu Qi'an remembered the brief moment he spent with Yang Qianhuan that night in Jiaofangsi.

"He said that he had to turn his back on all sentient beings, so he showed his superior demeanor." Song Qing said.

Was he cosplaying Emperor Wushi? Xu Qi'an was holding it in his throat, feeling uncomfortable.

This is not the second disease of the middle school. The second disease is a deviation in cognition and a problem with the essence of thinking. This is the king of coercion, because pretending to be coercive is to take the initiative to do it, not a cognitive problem.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while, and said, "Senior Brother Song, help me give him a sentence."

"you say."

Xu Qi'an lowered his voice: "There is no one like me in the world with the moon in my hand and the stars."

Madness!

Yang Yan and Jiang Lvzhong moved their auricles, and when they heard it, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

For warriors, hearing such a sentence is like seeing another gangster showing off. It's easy to be competitive.

This is the reason why Xu Qi'an was sneered at by Nangong Qianrou when Xu Qi'an sang "With the sword in hand, ask the world who is the hero" in the Star Observation Tower last time.

If he is so crazy, Senior Brother Yang will definitely like it, but he is going to be beaten if he talks about it. Well, he has been beaten for a long time. Song Qing nodded happily: "I must bring it."

While speaking, an eunuch came out leading a line of soldiers, looked around at the gate of the palace city, and said loudly:

"Where is the caller?"

Jiang Luzhong cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

After everyone took out their badges and gold medals to prove their identities, the eunuch nodded and said, "Follow our family into the palace, Your Majesty will summon you."

Yang Yan immediately lifted the curtain of the car and took Zhou Chixiong in his hands.

"Who is this?" On the way into the palace, the eunuch asked curiously.

"The most wanted criminal, Zhou Chixiong." Xu Qi'an replied.

"Why are you still wearing a sack? Let us see." The eunuch seemed very interested and leaned over.

Jiang Lvzhong blocked it, shook his head and said, "No one is allowed to touch criminals before seeing His Majesty."

The eunuch frowned, glanced at everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "Before seeing Your Majesty, you need to verify your identity. How do we know if this person is someone with ulterior motives who pretended to be Zhou Chixiong and sneaked into the palace in an attempt to assassinate His Majesty.

"Of course, our family is not saying that you and others are accomplices, but a wise man is bound to make a mistake, and it is possible to be deceived."

Jiang Luzhong still shook his head.

"What do you mean?" The eunuch stopped, squinted his eyes, and looked at everyone: "Our family now suspects the identity of this person, and we need to verify his identity."

The line of soldiers stopped and stared at Jiang Luzhong and the others solemnly.

What he said was well-founded and there was nothing wrong with it. It was just brought up at this time, which suddenly made the matter more sensitive.

Xu Qi'an knew a lot of ways to make people die silently, and I believe the two Jin Luo knew more, and as warriors, they probably couldn't stop them, the violence output that warriors are good at.

And if Zhou Chixiong died, and died silently in a coma, who would bear the blame? Certainly not the father-in-law in front of him.

Because it is a normal process to verify the identity of the criminal.

This father-in-law has a faction, most likely the party that the Minister of Rites belongs to. Sure enough, if I came alone, without bringing the two brothers and sisters of Jin Gong, the great scholar Zhang Shen, and Si Tianjian, I might stumble on the eve of victory.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "Eunuch, when I see His Majesty later, I will say: Eunuch tried to kill Zhou Chixiong to silence him."

"Zhuzi!" The father-in-law was furious, "You dare to slander our family, come and arrest me."

"Father-in-law" Xu Qi'an said loudly: "You should think about it, if you really want to start a conflict here, your majesty is not a fool, and the princes in the court are not fools either, have you weighed the consequences?"

The eunuch sneered and said, "Young boy, have you thought about the consequences."

Xu Qi'an pressed the knife with one hand, walked over, and whispered in the eunuch's ear: "Don't play tricks with desperadoes like me, it's not worth it. Father-in-law does things for others, just do it with all your heart. You are not a core member of the royal party. Make no mistake."

The eunuch in his early thirties changed his expression for a moment, and said sharply: "Our family is not as knowledgeable as you."

When they came outside the Jinluan Hall, the eunuch went to report, and soon, Emperor Yuan Jing summoned Xu Qi'an and his party to enter the hall.

After crossing the exaggerated knee-high threshold, Xu Qi'an entered the main hall of the palace, and once again saw this group of figures standing at the pinnacle of Dafeng's power.

Especially that majestic middle-aged man in Taoist robes who occupies the Dragon Throne.

The princes of the court turned slightly sideways, looked at the gate of the Jinluan Hall, and watched Xu Qi'an and other people come in.

Still a little nervous Xu Qi'an, the core of Dafeng's power stage, breathed out a long breath, and suppressed the little uneasiness.

Wei Yuan's gentle eyes fell on Xu Qi'an's face, and he nodded slightly.

Xu Qi'an was not afraid anymore, took Zhou Baihu from Jiang Jinluo's hand, took off the sack, wrapped his neck around his neck, and forced him to raise his face in a coma:

"Your Majesty, this is the most important criminal wanted by the imperial court, Zhou Chixiong, a former member of the Jinwu Guard."

There was a lot of discussion.

The face of the Minister of Rites gradually turned pale.

Xu Qi'an pressed his fingers on Zhou Chixiong's big acupoints, "Hmm~" Zhou Baihu slowly opened his eyes amidst painful groans.

Then he was dumbfounded.

In front is Emperor Yuan Jing, who is on the throne, and on both sides are the princes of the court, with the magnificent "Golden Palace Plaque" on the top of the head, and the crystal diamonds under the feet.

It may be that Zhou Baihu closed his eyes again because of the wrong way of opening his eyes.

"Crack!" Xu Qi'an slapped him, and said with a sneer, "Tie Sun, you've returned home."

Zhou Chixiong, whose hands and feet were numb, was thrown to the ground. He didn't stand up, but lay down, crying tremblingly: "I deserve death for my crimes, I deserve death for my crimes."

After the Yunzhou stronghold was breached, Zhou Chixiong was knocked unconscious, and was sent to the capital on a fire feather beast. He was unconscious all the way. On the way, I was given water several times, but no food.

After finally arriving in the capital, Xu Qi'an felt that he was in good condition, so he simply kept him in a coma, and drugged him again.

Emperor Yuan Jing's face was serious, and he stared condescendingly: "Zhou Chixiong, who ordered you to collude with the demon clan and smuggle gunpowder?"

Zhou Chixiong lay on the ground and kept saying, "Damn my humble minister!"

Emperor Yuan Jing no longer looked at the ant, but stared at Zhang Shen beside Xu Qi'an, and said gently: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry."

Zhang Shen snorted coldly, did not respond clearly to the emperor, stepped forward, put his hands behind his back, and said with Tianxian in his mouth: "A gentleman should be sincere, so should a man."

An invisible breeze blew across the entire Golden Luan Hall, and in an instant, the minds of everyone in the hall were occupied by the word "honesty".

"Who ordered you to collude with the demon clan and smuggle gunpowder?"

"Yes, it's Li Yulang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." Zhou Chixiong burst into tears.

In an instant, the Golden Luan Temple was blown up, and the ministers completely lost their ability to manage their expressions, and there was a commotion.

One of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absurd, and Zhou Chixiong is slandering him."

Song Qing interrupted coldly: "Zhou Baihu didn't lie."

Chu Caiwei was like a repeater: "I didn't lie."

The qi technique cannot be used to observe ministers above the fourth rank, but it is possible to measure Zhou Chixiong.

The Minister of Rites' face turned gray.

There is no point in defending. When Zhou Chixiong was arrested, he had already lost. Unless you know this in advance and kill it halfway.

"Li Yulang, what can you say?" Emperor Yuan Jing said.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites took a deep breath, restrained his dejection: "I am wronged."

It seemed that he was dying, but he didn't even have any extra excuses, only three pale words.

Wei Yuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, please entrust this minister to interrogate this beast and find out the accomplices."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment then came out and fought with Wei Yuan: "Your Majesty, this case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Emperor Yuan Jing didn't answer, and silently looked down at Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty, causing all the officials to stop the discussion and bow their heads slightly.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Jing said loudly: "This case will be handled by the Ministry of Punishment."

After the dynasty was over, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had been stripped of his official robe and hat, was escorted out of the palace.

"Stay!"

The Libu Shangshu turned his head, and the Xingbu and others around him also looked back, and they saw the little gong in the yamen of the watchman chasing after him.

The Ministry of punishment and others stepped forward to stop him.

Xu Qi'an didn't force him, he stopped, looked at the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Rites, and said calmly: "A few days ago, I heard from Duke Wei what happened in the court. If your royal party had calmed down earlier, you wouldn't have There is today."

This scene was watched by many officials, and they couldn't help but stop and watch.

In the distance, Wei Yuan stopped beside the carriage and looked at this side.

Yang Yan whispered: "Father, do you want to call him back?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "It's inevitable that he has resentment in his heart. If he doesn't vent it now, let's wait until later. Just keep an eye on him, don't let him intensify the conflict."

Speaking of this, he smiled gently: "I also want to see what he has to say."

Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment narrowed his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Young man with a yellow mouth, let's talk nonsense here."

Xu Qi'an was not angry at all, and said: "The two ministers know that I have a lot of poetic talent? I don't dare to speak nonsense, I just want to give Sun Shangshu and Li Shangshu a poem.

"The title of the poem is "The Case of Sangbo: A Gift to Sun Shangshu""

Poetry? !

The surrounding ministers were stunned for a moment, and then became excited, joining in the fun was not a big deal, and they didn't shy away from Sun Shangshu's face, and rushed over one after another.

"Go, go and listen." Wei Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he strode over.

Sun Shangshu's expression changed, he thought of Xu Qi'an's reputation and his poems. A strong uneasiness welled up in my heart.

Xu Qian said loudly:

"Everyone adopts a son who wants to be smart, but I was fooled by being smart all my life."

"I only hope that the child will be foolish and reckless, and come to Gongqing with no disasters or difficulties."

PS: Recommend a book "The Demon Girl Please Respect Yourself", the old author, you should have read the last book, "The Little Boy of the Empress's Family".

In addition, I chatted with my good friend Rong Xiaorong about his new book today, chatting and chatting, time has passed, sorry.

After all, when I wrote this book, he also chatted with me every day, which gave me a lot of inspiration and help.
