Nightwatcher

Wei Yuan has been in the officialdom for decades, and he can tell the difference when the atmosphere changes slightly.

Even though Emperor Yuan Jing only glanced at him when he came in, and even though the officials had already withdrawn their gazes at this time, Wei Yuan knew that this small court meeting was mostly related to himself.

The Spring Festival has just ended, and in a few days the results of the Jingchao will come out. During this period of time, the official departments of various prefectures sent inspection lists one after another, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to swipe his pen.

The results of the investigation in the capital have gradually taken shape under the auspices of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The princes in the hall and Emperor Yuan Jing knew what kind of bloody storms accompanied the formation of this investigation list. Absolutely not at this moment, to push it all over again.

Since it's not a matter of Jingchao, what other important matters will involve him?

Wei Yuan's thoughts turned, and two words appeared in his mind - Yunzhou!

Eight hundred miles of urgent information comes from Yunzhou. It seems that Yunzhou has really rebelled. With the abilities of Jiang Luzhong and Yang Yan, and Zhang Xingying's previous efforts and foreshadowing, Yunzhou will not be chaotic. Wei Yuan pondered.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the ministers who were qualified to participate in the small court meeting arrived one after another.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked down at all the ministers in the hall and said: "This morning, there was an urgent document from Yunzhou for eight hundred miles. Chief envoy Song Changfu."

As if a bomb fell, the ministers exploded and turned pale with horror. Then, there were uncontrollable discussions and angry reprimands.

However, some of them are not surprised, such as Wang Dang.

Urgent documents must first go through the hands of the cabinet, and then transferred from the cabinet to the secretary of transportation and administration, who is in charge of the cashier's orders and understands the situation.

It is a yamen dedicated to investigating and collating official documents for the emperor's customs and defense, and reporting the feudal advice of the subjects of the Quartet, petitions, military situations, disasters and other matters.

The cabinet is Wang Shoufu's territory, and the cabinet has no right to privately dismantle the urgent documents, but after the emperor reads them, the first thing to do is to report the contents of the documents to the cabinet, and then hold a meeting.

So Wang Dang got first-hand information.

"quiet!"

The big companion beside Emperor Yuan Jing drank several times in a row before calming down the officials.

"Let's listen to it, gentlemen," Yuan Jingdi said.

The gray-haired eunuch in python robe looked at the eunuch in the corner and nodded slightly.

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

"Minister Zhang Xingying, knock on:

The Yunzhou case was concluded on January 24th. Thirty-four rebels Song Changfu, Yang You, and Chen Ming were all executed. "

A series of names are all high-ranking officials.

"Now that Yunzhou is under governance, the big case is settled. This is due to the meritorious service of the imperial court, and the meritorious deeds of His Majesty.

"Golden Gong and Jiang Lvzhong, all the way to protect the ministers, and work hard.

"Jin Gong Yang Yan, risked a hundred deaths, led the army to beat the rebels, made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, prevented the rebels from burning, killing and looting, and poisoned the people of Yunzhou.

"Yingong Zhao Bin, Tang Shanhu, and Li Yun, the three of them died at the hands of the Meng Wu of the Witch God Sect to protect my minister, and they died without regret. Their hearts were so loyal, their spirit was so vigorous, and this minister deeply regretted it."

"Tonggong Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao have made many contributions in the investigation process, helped Xu Qi'an find evidence, and in order to protect the evidence, they did not hesitate to feed ghosts with their bodies, so that they lost their vitality and blood. In the process of killing the rebels, they took the lead and did not fear life and death, serving the country The heart is touching”

From the golden gongs to the copper gongs, Governor Zhang showed his merits one by one, writing in great detail and with great care.

Wei Yuan listened silently, even when he heard that the three silver gongs had died in the line of duty, this high-ranking official who showed no signs of emotion or anger remained expressionless and showed no emotions.

"Tonggong Xu Qi'an, in the process of going south, cracked the iron ore smuggling case. This matter has already been revealed in advance, so I won't go into details. But in the Yunzhou case, Xu Qi'an solved all kinds of clues and found criminal evidence. It was he who discovered Song Changfu's conspiracy and reversed the case, and the envoy did not blame Zhongliang.

"After the Dongchuang incident, Song Changfu jumped over the wall in a hurry, summoned the rebels to close the city gate, and besieged and killed the humble officials in the office of the chief envoy. When the minister was in desperate situation, Xu Qi'an fought hundreds of rebels one by one, killing more than 200 enemies. Died of exhaustion.

"The humble minister has the courage to ask for a posthumous title.

"The minister is in Yunzhou, hoping to face the Holy Spirit as soon as possible. Zhang Xingying bows his head again."

After reading, the eunuch gathered up the long book and withdrew.

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the group of ministers who couldn't stop their uproar and whispering, and finally fell on Wei Yuan.

This eunuch who bears a legend and is known as the most powerful national hand in the past five hundred years of Dafeng; The messy Wei Yan

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

"What do you loves think about what Zhang Xingying played?" Emperor Yuan Jing asked, "Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan"

He yelled three times in a row, each time getting louder.

Wei Yuan trembled all over, as if startled. Only then did he come to his senses, and let out a soft "Huh?"

The corner of Emperor Yuan Jing's mouth twitched: "Wei Aiqing seems to be out of spirits. Zhang Xingying killed the Yunzhou rebellion in the cradle. This is also your credit. Could it be that Wei Aiqing is not happy?"

Wei Yuan didn't answer.

In the midst of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Du jumped out and scolded: "Wei Yuan, His Majesty asked you something."

Wei Yuan still didn't answer.

"That's all!" Emperor Yuan Jing was in a good mood, waved his hand, discussed with the ministers about the book, and rewarded the gangsters for their merits.

When it came to Xu Qi'an, there was a disagreement on the posthumous title, and a small number of ministers agreed to confer the title. More people said it was wrong.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, the title is not an official position, it is a "reward" for those who have made meritorious deeds, and it is a means for the court to win people's hearts.

In Xu Qi'an's case, it was a posthumous knighthood, which was only a posthumous honor.

But Xu Qi'an is Wei Yuan's confidant, and it is the instinct of civil servants to argue with Wei Yuan. Secondly, Xu Qi'an has made too many enemies. From the tax bank case to the Sangbo case, and from the Pingyang Princess case to the Yunzhou case.

Because of him, the Minister of the Household Department of the Royal Party fell; the Liang Party was abolished; the Minister of Rites of the Royal Party fell;

The number of people who hated him was too many to count, and they were unwilling to give him honor even after death.

Among them, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who are also members of the Qi Party, were the most excited, and they gave generous speeches and pointed out the shortcomings. In short, it was one sentence:

Xu Qi'an is not worthy.

Although the Minister of Dali Temple is a member of the Qi Party, there is no evidence that the Secretary of the Dali Temple also colluded with the Witchcraft Sect, and he was able to stay out of the matter.

The so-called parties are just political allies, not relatives and family members.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites is a member of the royal party, and his immediate boss was defeated by Xu Qi'an in the Sangbo case. The most hateful thing is that the new minister of the Ministry of Rites belongs to Wei Yuan.

The attitude of the officials made Yuan Jingdi hesitate. From his point of view, the death of the gong, who was always disliked, was certainly not enough to make the dignified emperor excited and ecstatic, but to be honest, it was quite comfortable.

Like chasing away buzzing flies.

However, Emperor Yuan Jing agreed with granting the title. Because Xu Qi'an has indeed made great contributions, being knighted can show that his rewards and punishments are clear.

Emperor Yuan Jing was the most tolerant towards the dead.

But if most of the courtiers disagreed, then Emperor Yuan Jing would not insist on his own opinion.

Emperor Yuan Jing was about to announce the end of the topic and dismiss Zhang Xingying's suggestion when he suddenly saw Wei Yuan appearing.

The eunuch went straight to the Minister of Rites, raised his hand, and said, "Bang!"

A loud slap resounded through the imperial study room, instantly overpowering the disputes among the officials, and one after another looked at him with surprised eyes.

"Snapped!"

Dali Siqing was also slapped and fell staggeringly, her hair crown fell off and her hair was disheveled.

"wow"

The surprised gazes turned into uproars, and the imperial study room exploded.

In the history of Dafeng, there are many examples of violent ministers fighting in court. What's more, this is the Imperial Study Room.

But the attacker was Wei Yuan, which seemed absurd.

In the minds of the officials, Wei Yuan was in charge of the Dagan Yamen and the Metropolitan Procuratorate as an eunuch.

But there is absolutely no "impulsive and reckless". It is so easy to fall into the trap of others, and it has long been played to death.

What conspiracy does Wei Yuan have? on purpose?

While the thoughts of the court officials were floating, the professional trolls didn't have to think so much about the matter. Several "Zuo Dugeshi" from the sixth department rushed out in a panic, shouting:

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan beat people in court. He has no eyes on His Majesty, and he has no eyes on the law of the king. Please, Your Majesty will decree to kill this dog."

You don't have to think so much about the matter, just grab the handle and kill it.

Immediately, many ministers seconded the proposal.

Regarding the complaints from the ministers, Wei Yuan ignored the complaints, bowed his head, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the Qi Party have not yet been completed. Colluding with the demon clan, the accomplices still exist.

"Coinciding with the Jingcha, the minister proposed to postpone the investigation and make a decision after all the facts come to light."

What do you mean?

All the ministers were startled and looked at Wei Yuan in disbelief. The meaning behind the words clearly meant to delay the Jingcha, but he still wanted to make trouble? !

Since the beginning of the year, the official circles in the capital have experienced turmoil and dormancy, cautious wait-and-see, and intrigue and self-insecurity from the middle to the end of the year, and they have long been exhausted.

Even the most aggressive conspirators want to end the Jingcha early and recuperate.

This guy Wei Yuan wants to continue the struggle?

Him, is he crazy?

Even Chief Assistant Wang Zhenwen couldn't help turning his head, looking at Wei Yuan in astonishment. Wei Qingyi's face was expressionless, not much different from usual.

As an old opponent, Wang Shoufu found himself unable to figure out Wei Yuan's intentions at this moment.

Temporary?

No, how could Wei Yuan be influenced by emotions. Besides, where does the gas come from?

Emperor Yuan Jing stared at Wei Yuan, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized that the gong named Xu Qi'an had an extraordinary place in Wei Yuan's heart.

He pressed his hand, waited for the officials to calm down, and said slowly: "Xu Qi'an can solve such a complicated and suspenseful case within ten months, it's really amazing.

"The death of such talents is the loss of my court. Just follow Zhang Xingying's play.

"Wei Yuan beat the imperial court officials in court. His eyes were lawless, and he was fined for one year. As for the matter of Jingcha, it follows the ancestral system and does not need to be changed."

The ministers were not surprised by Emperor Yuan Jing's light punishment. Although they were disappointed, they also knew that such a thing would not bring down the eunuch.

Given Wei Yuan's importance, His Majesty's tolerance for him is extremely high, beating up the court officials once or twice, and receiving some punishment is already the limit.

To their surprise, Wei Yuan no longer entangled in the matter of the Jingcha, and kept silent.

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

Compared with punishments that are neither light nor severe, the reasons for Wei Yuan's gaffe made the officials extremely concerned. It turns out that the impeccable Wei Yan also has something that he cares about and makes him lose his composure?

Afterwards, there were heated discussions on Xu Qi'an's pursuit of the title.

After some wrangling, Xu Qi'an's title was settled: Changle County Son.

Viscount!

Cannot be hereditary.

The small court meeting ended, the officials dispersed, Wei Yuan walked forward without saying a word, I don't know if it was deliberate, he walked very fast in front of the officials, so that no one could see his expression.

"Father."

Nangong Qianrou came up to meet her, and was about to inquire about the content of the Xiaochao meeting and the urgent documents at Babaili, but he suddenly froze.

Wei Yuan's expression was obviously expressionless, but it was easy to read the sadness, and there was a deep sadness in those eyes, which had been washed away by the vicissitudes of time.

Without saying hello or even nodding at the capital, Wei Yuan came silently, passed Nangong Qianrou silently, and continued walking silently.

The hem of the green robe swayed slightly. The back is desolate and lonely.

What happened? Nangong Qianrou was taken aback for a moment. He glanced at the officials coming from behind, resisted the thought of probing, and strode up to Wei Yuan.

The wheels twitched, and on the way back to the policeman's yamen, Nangong Qianrou endured all the way, and when she approached the yamen, she finally asked:

"Father, what happened?"

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

Nangong Qianrou's expression froze.

He turned his head and looked at the carriage quietly. Although the door was blocked, he still unconsciously slowed down his movements, fearing that Wei Yuan would find out.

The entire yamen of the watchmen knew that Duke Wei valued Xu Qi'an, but only Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan knew that it was more than that. The adoptive father had great expectations for Xu Qi'an, just like a craftsman discovering a perfect piece of jade in the rough.

He couldn't put it down, and he wanted to carve him into a unparalleled beautiful jade. When the jade was completed, it would shock the world.

Although she didn't say it clearly, Nangong Qianrou knew in her heart that this expectation and attention was much higher than that of his adoptive son.

Now that Xu Qi'an died in the line of duty, one can imagine the mood of the adoptive father. Nangong Qianrou sighed inwardly.

He originally thought that he would be secretly happy, but Xu Qi'an's appearance made him jealous and made him unbalanced. He thought countless times, it would be great if that guy never appeared.

My adoptive father is most concerned about me.

Now that she heard the news of Xu Qi'an's death, Nangong Qianrou was not in the slightest happy mood, instead she felt lost, feeling empty in her heart.

At this time, the rein in her hand suddenly fell off, Nangong Qianrou was taken aback, only to find that the rein in her palm had been crushed into powder at some point.

Back at the yamen, Nangong Qianrou followed Wei Yuan into Haoqi Building and climbed up to the seventh floor. Wei Yuan stopped 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 hesitated to speak, bowed and retreated, but did not leave, but waited outside the tea room.

The tea room is quiet, and the afternoon sun shines on the observation deck, which is spacious and bright. ,

Wei Yuan flipped through the official documents as usual, as if nothing had happened, he was still the big eunuch who couldn't show his emotions.

The sun is gradually moving westward, and the evening sun is orange-red, shining on the clouds in the west like burning.

Wei Yuan didn't turn over a single page of the official document in his hand, and he sat there for two and a half hours.

After closing the official document and pinching the space between his eyebrows, Wei Yuan called out, "Qianrou."

"Father" Nangong Qianrou heard the sound, her delicate pretty face was full of worry.

"Call all the golden gongs in the yamen." Wei Yuan said.

Nangong Qianrou retreated and returned with six golden gongs after a while.

At this time, Wei Yuan stood in the center of the tea room with his hands behind his back, silently examining the golden gong.

"Wei Gong." The golden gongs clasped their fists together.

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Decree all the secrets scattered outside to infiltrate the countries in the northeast. Before the beginning of summer, I want to get the layout map of the southwestern border defense of the Witch God Cult, at all costs."

Jin Luo Zhang Kaitai was taken aback: "Wei Gong"

The other golden gongs were equally astonished.

Wei Yuan said indifferently: "After the autumn harvest, I will fight against the Witch God Sect."

Sure enough, several Jin Luo carefully observed Wei Yuan, and finally noticed something wrong with the great eunuch. The former Wei Gong always had a detached posture with Zhizhu in his hands, with a calmness that matched his status.

But today's Wei Gong is different from the past. In those eyes full of vicissitudes, there is a sharp edge and fighting spirit burning.

This kind of fighting spirit and determination only existed during the Battle of Shanhaiguan that year.

The golden gongs all bowed their heads and used a formal reply: "I would like to obey Jun's order."

Several Jinluos resigned and left Haoqi Tower, one Jinluo frowned and said: "I'm afraid the imperial court will not lightly start the war."

Nangong Qianrou sneered, the imperial court did not start war lightly, but the Church of the Witch God and the Northeast Congresses. As long as you take the initiative to send confidential information through secret channels, you won't be afraid that the Witch God Cult won't take the bait.

When the border is invaded, His Majesty and the princes of the court will not turn a blind eye.

With the means of foster father, if he wants to fight the Witch God Sect, it only depends on whether he is willing to fight, not whether His Majesty wants to fight.

Zhang Kaitai looked at Nangong Qianrou, frowned and asked, "Did something happen to the court today? Wei Gong is a little abnormal."

Nangong Qianrou nodded: "This morning there was an urgent letter from Zhang Xingying from Yunzhou. As my foster father expected, Yunzhou really rebelled."

After a pause, he swept across the golden gongs, and said in a deep voice unconsciously: "Xu Qi'an died in the line of duty."

All the gold gongs raised their heads fiercely and looked at Haoqi Building.

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

Wasn't it the king who kidnapped Liang Youping? !

An indescribable horror rose in Xu Qi'an's heart, just like taking a selfie in an abandoned house. After the photo was taken home and developed, he found a female ghost in white clothes with disheveled hair standing behind him.

That kind of horror makes people's spines cold and their scalps numb.

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

"I, Yang Qianhuan, have never told a lie." Bi Wang said indifferently.

The task given to him by the teacher was to secretly watch over Xu Qi'an. Although King Wang didn't know why the teacher gave such an order, he was always a disciplined disciple.

It's very reliable!

If you promise to take care of Xu Qi'an, you will never do unnecessary things.

The Yunzhou case has nothing to do with him. Whether the case is solved or not is the governor's business. Later, Xu Qi'an threw himself into the trap, and he had no choice but to come forward to rescue him, exposing himself.

Get out, you lied to me just now that you didn't peek at the letter, if you weren't really in the mood, Xu Qi'an would have swollen King Bi's face on the spot.

Liang Youping was not kidnapped by Yang Qianhuan? If this is the case, the whole case will have to be reopened. Could it be that Song Changfu is not behind the scenes, but someone else, such as Yang Chuannan?

The case in Yunzhou was originally just that Zhou Min, the dark son, found out that Yang Chuannan embezzled military supplies and supported bandits until I found out that the Qi Party was in collusion with the Witch God Cult, which led to the follow-up governor to investigate the case in Yunzhou.

Could the truth of the case be this:

Yang Chuannan found out that his plot was exposed by the beater, so he asked Meng Wu to kill Zhou Min to silence him, and deciphered the code to find the evidence of the crime, and then set up this bitter plan. The point of comeback is Liang Youping.

He first deliberately asked Liang Youping to wait for me in the dog meat shop, and then used Li Miaozhen to reveal Liang Youping's identity, which attracted my attention and then sent Liang Youping to Governor Zhang. Using this reversal, we completely believed that Song Changfu was the mastermind behind the scenes. , get away calmly by yourself?

Liang Youping was indeed blocked at that time, and Si Tianjian's Qi Watching Technique could not tell whether he was lying or not.

Xu Qi'an tasted it for a long time, but denied this speculation for the following three reasons:

One, there is no need to be so troublesome, trying to make the case so complicated will only expose more flaws, and the simpler the case, the harder it is to solve. As the saying goes, the weirder the weapon, the faster you die. The same is true of the case.

As long as Yang Chuannan destroys the evidence, even if everyone thinks he did it, but Governor Zhang has no evidence, he can't move a second-rank commander.

This is the safest way.

Second, Governor Zhang and others, including Xu Qi'an, believed in what Liang Youping said, mainly because they all believed that the person who helped him was Yang Qianhuan.

Looking back at the case, when Liang Youping was sent to the post station, Governor Zhang and others were skeptical about Liang Youping's confession. At that time, Governor Zhang's countermeasure was to first arrest Song Changfu and confront Liang Youping.

As a result, Song Changfu "suicide in fear of crime", and then all the armies in Yunzhou rebelled. The events are too closely connected, and there is no time to verify the truth of the case.

It wasn't until Yang Qianhuan appeared that everyone suddenly realized that the sorcerer was Yang Qianhuan, which made sense.

So there is a reasonable explanation for Liang Youping's "self-inflicted trap".

However, after Yang Qianhuan helped Jiang Lvzhong kill the dream witch, he left immediately, and the follow-up verification could not be carried out.

Xu Qi'an listed this as the reason because it was impossible for Yang Chuannan to know that Yang Qianhuan had come to Yunzhou. Then this sorcerer who appeared strangely is an unexplainable doubt in the hearts of Governor Zhang and others.

Although he could use the ensuing mutiny to obliterate Governor Zhang, since he could obliterate Governor Zhang and others, why would he do so in such a flashy manner?

On the contrary, it was Meng Wu's statement that was reasonable. The reason why he forbeared was because he wanted to push Yang Chuannan to take the blame. He had no choice but to carry out the final plan - killing people to silence him until the matter was revealed.

Three, if Yang Chuannan was behind the scenes, the group of rebels who followed him would have already confessed him. Those rebels in Yunzhou official circles, don't they know which boss they follow?

This is rebellion, not young and Dangerous.

"The mastermind behind the scenes should undoubtedly be Song Changfu, but what happened to that sorcerer who appeared out of thin air?"

"Can wild warlocks cultivate to this level? You know, the warlock system has only been around for about six hundred years. Unlike martial arts and other systems, which have existed for a long time, there are a large number of wild practitioners."

"And even Confucianism and other systems that have been handed down from the beginning still have strict control over the methods of practice. Only martial arts (beyond grade) without fathers can bloom everywhere. This is another reason why major systems look down on martial arts."

"Also, why did that ignorant warlock help me? What's his purpose?"

Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the sorcerer in the tax silver case, could the sorcerer who refined the fake silver and the sorcerer in the Yunzhou case be the same person, or the same force?

If this is the case, helping me with this option can rule out this bunch of unscrupulous grandsons, who almost caused my father to be exiled for thousands of miles, and caused my second uncle to kill Xu Qi'an, who had a headache and squeezed his brows.

Si Tianjian, it's not that simple.

"Ahem..." Xu Qi'an coughed, "I have something to tell Senior Brother Yang."

"explain."

Xu Qi'an told Yang Qianhuan about the existence of the unknown warlock, and then asked: "Is there any secret hidden by our Si Tianjian?"

"Our Si Tianjian?" Yang Qianhuan asked back with his back.

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

"Oh." Yang Qianhuan mocked for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: "Si Tianjian does have some secrets. For example, the teacher never talks about the ancestor, but I know in my heart that the teacher once killed the teacher."

Xu Qi'an, who killed the master, reviewed the previous article, and remembered the relevant information about the first supervisor in the investigation of the Sangbo case.

The first supervisor supported the old royal family five hundred years ago. After the original King Pinghai and later Emperor Wuzong usurped the throne, the supervisor became the current supervisor.

Information about the first generation of supervisors has been erased from history.

It was wiped clean, even Princess Huaiqing, a female academic master who can study history, couldn't find any information. She still made a breakthrough through the teaching of Buddhism five hundred years ago.

It turned out that Jianzheng really killed his master. It was just a guess at the beginning, but now Xu Qi'an said: "Senior brother Yang, what does this sorcerer who appeared in Yunzhou have something to do with the first generation of Jianzheng?"

Yang Qianhuan shook his head: "I don't know about this, don't ask so many questions, you don't understand the warlock system, even a rare man like me in the world doesn't know what the first-rank and second-rank warlocks are called."

Xu Qi'an is no longer Xiaomengxin. Generally speaking, this situation means that knowing the information of the first and second ranks, one can know many secrets of the warlock system, and such secrets cannot be known to outsiders.

"Then do you know what rank is the sorcerer who can block the breath? Senior Brother Yang, can you do it?" Xu Qi'an tried unwillingly.

"I can tell you that," Yang Qianhuan said, "it's not difficult for normal warlocks to shield Qi. It's not difficult. If you can shield Qi for others, you'll be at the sixth rank or above.

"But it's true as you said, that Liang Youping can block the divination and spell killing of the dream witches of the fourth rank, and only one level of sorcerers can do it. What Liang Youping is blocked is not the number of aura, but the number of fate, which is the secret of heaven."

After a pause, he said, "Third-grade warlock, celestial master."

Third product? ! The sorcerer in the Yunzhou case is a third grade? ! Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, feeling that his brain was not enough.

The Yunzhou case actually involved a third-rank warlock!

If this is the case, of course Yang Qianhuan of the fourth-grade array master can't do it. Damn it, if I knew such important information earlier, I would pretend that I didn't know anything.

Xu Qi said with peace of mind that even if one sees through the plan of a third-grade warlock, one cannot tell it through.

It's not cowardice, it's the mindset of an adult.

To give each other face.

"Remember to keep it secret and don't spread it to outsiders, especially the matter of the teacher's murder." Yang Qianhuan paused and added:

"I'm not afraid of the teacher, I just think that he can't be late when he's old. I have to give him some dignity."

The more you explain, the more guilty you become, okay? How dare I talk nonsense, the prisoner can crush me to death with just one finger. Xu Qi'an nodded and agreed: "I also think the prisoner should be given some respect."

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

The history of Si Tianjian is not long, and many things are actually easy to check. Unlike Dao Zun and Confucian Saints, the latter is a figure thousands of years ago, and the former is simply out of historical records.

Xu Qi'an intends to investigate Si Tianjian secretly after returning to Beijing, and investigate Susu's family affairs by the way.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

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

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

Xu Qi'an froze suddenly, yes, how could he explain the resurrection from the dead.

The big boss in the capital is not easy to fool, and he is no longer the little fast player in Changle County back then, oh, he is still a small fast player this year.

It was the little Kuaishou back then.

Xu Qi'an lay back in the coffin silently: "I won't show up for now, and I'll ask my father's opinion when I get to the capital. Brother Yang, I'll trouble you about the food."

Yang Qianhuan nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't you be raised by your second uncle after your parents died when you were young?"

"Actually, I am Wei Yuan's illegitimate son."

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

Xu Qi'an is Wei Yuan's illegitimate son, Wei Yuan actually has an illegitimate son?

Inner City, Xu Mansion.

The next morning, Nangong Qianrou brought two gongs and knocked on the gate of Xu's Mansion.

In fact, the side door had already been opened, but as Jin Luo, he naturally had to go through the middle door.

The porter Lao Zhang opened the middle door, saw the three watchmen, quickly lowered his head, and said, "My lords, what are you doing?"

Because Da Lang is a gangster, he has a certain understanding of the level and uniform of the gangster.

This woman was a watchman with a golden gong embroidered on her chest, and her status was higher than Da Lang's at first glance.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, Nangong Qianrou glanced at Lao Zhang, looked into the mansion, and said, "Xu Pingzhi, a hundred households of Yudaowei, is he in the mansion?"

He was ordered by his adoptive father to give Xu Qi'an Song a pension, three hundred taels of silver.

The worth of the gong is so much, the rules are the rules.

But Nangong Qianrou knew that the dividends that the Xu family could enjoy in the future would be incalculable. For example, the official position of Yudaowei Baihu can be mentioned further.

The scholar of Yunlu Academy who is about to join Chunwei will not be sent to a remote county in his future career.

"Yes, yes, the master and wife are dining in the back hall at the moment. You should go to the front hall for dinner first, and the villain will call the master."

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

The two gongs thanked politely, and their attitude was very friendly.

Nangong Qianrou didn't take the tea, and said: "Don't waste time, let me go over there."

PS: I wrote five coffins in the last chapter. Some readers didn’t understand. Let me explain here: There was a mistake in the last chapter. Five people died, and I ignored one dragon, so I gave it to you in the end. The ones who went back were five coffins.
