Nightwatcher

"knew."

Responding to the attendant, Xu Qi'an sat up, lifted the quilt, and began to dress.

Sensing the movement of the person next to his pillow, Song Tingfeng opened his eyes, muttered, and then asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Qi'an whispered: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back."

Song Tingfeng let out a "huh".

At the end of the conversation, the faces of the two of them froze suddenly, and then shuddered at the same time.

"Go away." Song Tingfeng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and cursed, "Disturb my sweet dreams."

When Xu Qi'an left, Zhu Guangxiao, who had his back to Song Tingfeng, silently turned around.

The moonlight is like water, and the stars are lonely.

The surface of the river was silent, with ripples in the moonlight, like scales shimmering with silver light.

Governor Zhang's room was lit, Xu Qi'an knocked on the door, and after getting the answer, he pushed open the door of Governor Zhang's room.

In the not-so-spacious room, Governor Zhang and Jiang Lvzhong sat and drank tea, and the latter pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down and pour the tea yourself."

Governor Zhang, with a goatee beard and a serious expression, nodded slightly at Xu Qi'an.

Governor Zhang gave the greatest importance and a friendly attitude to this magical gong who had appeared in the court twice and defeated a minister twice.

Drinking tea in the middle of the night, do you think the quality of sleep is too good? Xu Qi'an took his seat, and his tone was quite casual: "My lords, what's the matter with calling me to you?"

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the watchman belong to different yamen, but both have the same superior, which is Wei Yuan. Therefore, Governor Zhang can be regarded as one of his own, and Xu Qi'an doesn't have to be too formal and polite.

Governor Zhang said with a smile: "Master Xu is like a god in judging cases and has extraordinary abilities. I came to you late at night because I wanted to talk about the mission to Yunzhou."

Xu Qi'an spoke after deliberation: "What do you think, my lord?"

Governor Zhang said: "I've read the file, Zhou Min's death didn't have any flaws, no wounds, no poisoning, it was a normal death.

"Death is silent, without leaving any flaws. This is also a kind of flaw."

Zhou Min is the Anzi who died without reason.

Jiang Lvzhong added: "Among the major systems, only Daoists and wizards can do this. According to the case feedback from the Minister of Industry, the Qi Party has colluded with the Witch God Sect, and the murderer is probably a fourth-rank Dream Witch. .”

Xu Qi'an nodded, first of all, he affirmed Governor Zhang's IQ, he is a clear-headed official, not in a daze, and knows what he is about to face.

This is very comfortable.

I'm afraid of encountering a superior who fails to achieve success but fails.

Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. To be honest, Xu Qi'an did have concerns about this when he saw Governor Zhang being so weak before.

Secondly, it is to affirm Jiang Lvzhong's guess.

Any method of killing will leave clear traces. This does not mean leaving clues, but an intuitive impression that people understand that he was "killed".

Even if a spirit is destroyed with great skill, the deceased will have dull, panicked facial features.

It can make people die as if they are asleep, and only Taoism and witch gods can do it. Very simple reasoning.

"My lord thinks, what should we do after we arrive in Yunzhou?" Xu Qi'an humbly asked for advice.

He is good at investigating cases, but he is a layman in diplomatic operations in officialdom.

"Zhou Min is an experienced dark man. He will not keep important evidence with him. What we have to do is to find out the evidence he has hidden. In this regard, Mr. Xu, you are a master. I hope you will So much trouble."

The governor said solemnly that he had great trust in Xu Qi'an's professional ability.

"I'll do my best." Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of a question, frowned and said, "Yang Chuannan is the commander of the Yunzhou capital. He is in charge of the military and political power. Will he be forced to turn against him? At that time, we will bear the brunt and be liquidated."

The officials who hold military power are different from those in the capital. The six guards and the three forbidden barracks in the capital are all under the control of the royal family, and the civilian officials are powerless to fight.

But as the commander of the capital of a state, with military power in his hands, how could he be slaughtered by others.

"This is a risk we have to take. Jiang Jinluo and I will mediate and deal with it. Then you will follow orders." Governor Zhang took over the burden.

"When we arrive in Yunzhou, I may be able to bring in a group of helpers." Xu Qi'an said.

"Helper?" Governor Zhang asked in a questioning tone.

"Let's talk about it at that time." Xu Qi'an didn't dare to promise.

Governor Zhang nodded, not paying much attention to it.

"Master Zhang, how much do you know about Yunzhou?" Xu Qi'an pondered, "I mean banditry."

Governor Zhang pondered for a while, and said slowly: "There is a reason why Yunzhou is called Bandit State. This has left a mark in the history books. We have to start from the "Qing Emperor's side" five hundred years ago."

Xu Qi'an didn't know about the history of Emperor Wuzong's usurpation of the throne, but only learned about it after experiencing the Sangbo case.

"Emperor Wuzong led his army into the capital and quickly pacified the states, but encountered fierce resistance from the defenders in Yunzhou. At that time, the commander of Yunzhou was a famous general who was good at using troops and defending the city. Even with Emperor Wuzong's With a strategy, Yunzhou could not be conquered for a while.

"The two armies fought against each other and fought a protracted war for several years. The people they fought were in dire straits, and the people were so miserable that they simply turned into bandits.

"Yunzhou has many mountain ranges, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the fertile land has become a breeding ground for bandits and grass bandits. When Emperor Wuzong recovered Yunzhou, he discovered that bandits were already everywhere in Yunzhou.

"A bitter battle that lasted for several years severely damaged the strength of the Dafeng army and was unable to suppress the bandits. Emperor Wuzong had no choice but to return to the court with his troops, intending to recuperate before doing liquidation.

"Later, the imperial court organized bandit suppression several times, and every time it cost huge casualties. However, Yunzhou bandit bandits wiped out a group, and another batch appeared, and the spring breeze reborn, and finally evolved into a paradise for the imperial court's criminals and scum of the rivers and lakes."

Governor Zhang said with emotion: "It's hard to get rid of a serious illness."

It turns out that it is a matter left over from history. The founding emperor did not solve it, and it is almost impossible for later emperors to solve it. One is that the ability is not enough, and the other is that it is inevitable to be content with pleasure. Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, expressing that he understood.

The three communicated for a long time before leaving separately.

Returning to the room, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng were awakened again without any accidents. The masters of the Qi training realm are sensitive to five senses, and any disturbance will be alarmed.

The two colleagues didn't care, and soon fell into a sound sleep.

Xu Qi'an didn't sleep, lit the oil lamp, sat at the table, and took out the small jade mirror.

[Three: On the 2nd, I just received the news that the imperial court sent a governor to Yunzhou. 】

Group posting in the middle of the night was a bit immoral. The members of the Earth Book chat group were all awakened, and each took out the fragments of the Earth Book with different emotions to check the news.

[Five: Number three, you hate it to death, don't disturb my sleep in the middle of the night. 】

The little wild girl in southern Xinjiang sent a letter to protest.

The others didn't pass on the letter, and just watched the screen silently.

[Two: Is it related to the Qi Party? 】

[Three: Clever, the watchman was placed in the dark son of the commander of the capital, and found out that the commander of the capital of Yunzhou, Yang Chuannan, secretly aided the bandits, transported military supplies, and supported the bandits. By the way, this Yang Chuannan is the spokesperson of the Qi Party in Yunzhou. 】

[Two: This is impossible. I don’t know if Yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi Party, but I know that he is definitely not a person who raises the bandits’ self-esteem and supplies military supplies for the bandits. 】

Number two's reaction was a bit intense. She met Yang Chuannan, and the relationship was pretty good?

Xu Qi'an was glad that he didn't guarantee the ticket in front of Governor Zhang, otherwise the car would overturn. At the same time, he was secretly vigilant. When he arrived in Yunzhou, he had to pay attention to his identity and not reveal it.

First find out who number two is, and then observe the relationship between her (him) and Yang Chuannan. Confirm number two is a wolf or a civilian.

[Four: There is nothing impossible. The minister of the Ministry of Industry has fallen, so there must be something to explain. Number two, think about it, the Qi Party colluded with the Witch God Sect and secretly supported the bandits, but they are thousands of miles away in the capital, and if they want to do things, they need a spokesperson.

[It is only necessary to prove that Yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi Party, then it is absolutely impossible for him to be innocent. 】

[Two: I'm pretty sure about people, Yang Chuannan is not such a person. 】

Is number two so subjective? Feeling is a woman, and women are often emotional and subjective. Xu Qi'an slandered in his heart, but he didn't say this. After all, if number two was a female boxer, he would be terrified by now.

[Five: Number three, why do you always have so much news? Are you a news broker. 】

No. 5 couldn't help complaining, she was a little discouraged, she finally "sold" a news of Gu God's recovery, and made everyone owe herself a debt.

And No. 3 throws out big news in the group from time to time.

Everyone tacitly chose to ignore No. 5's unnutritious words.

Xu Qi'an sent a letter to tease: [Hey, I should have known this news on the 1st, didn't I tell you on the 1st? Tsk tsk, number one, you are wrong. 】

Number one is a bit scheming, the one who doesn't speak is always the most insidious and deepest.

[One: Get lost. 】

Xu Qi'an originally thought that No. 1 would not pay attention to it, but who would have thought that the reaction would be so intense, and his mouth would burst into tongues.

I didn't offend number one, did I? Just teasing casually, as for such a violent reaction?

Xu Qi'an was a little dazed and angry, so he ignored No. 1, and passed on a letter: 【No. 2, if you don't believe me, when the governor of the imperial court arrives, you can cooperate with them in the investigation. If Yang Chuannan was wronged, it would be a good time to return his innocence. 】

[Two: Good. 】

This puts number two on the chariot! Xu Qi'an nodded in satisfaction.

[Two: By the way, how is Emperor Yuan Jing's health? 】

[Three: You should be in good health, why ask this. 】

[Two: Bah, Daoist has no eyes, why is the old emperor not dead yet. 】

Daoist has no eyes? No. 2 is an old angry youth, I am more and more curious about his (her) identity, if I find out that you have an official status, Xu Qi'an said "hehehe" three times.

After successfully "greeting" with No. 2, Xu Qi'an remembered the second purpose of starting the group chat this time.

[Three: By the way, I don't seem to have told you the real body of the sealed item under Sangbo. 】

The real body of the sealed item under Sangbo? !

This time, not to mention the other members of the Tiandihui, even No. 5 was completely relieved and refreshed.

PS: Oops, I fell out of the top ten on the monthly ticket list, ask for a monthly ticket! ! ! ! !
