Chapter 126: Chapter 126: The Princess SummonsAbbot Hengqing hesitated and said, "How did you know?"
It was Xu Erlang who told him the name Hengyuan. On that day, he asked Xu Erlang to go to the Health Hall to look for No. 6, but No. 6 had already left. When Xu Erlang told Xu Qi'an, he said: The clerk told me that Master Hengyuan had left and it was said that there was a clue about his junior brother.
"Don't worry about how I know. Now I'm asking you a question." Xu Qi'an had a serious expression and didn't look good to this non-violent and non-cooperative monk.
Although if he fought alone, the abbot of Qinglong Temple might be able to pin him to the ground.
But Xu Qi'an had brothers and the court behind him.
Abbot Hengqing hesitated slightly and said, "Hengyuan is a martial monk in the temple. He has an impulsive personality and a bad temper. He is often punished by the abbot for accidentally injuring his fellow disciples. He was expelled from Qinglong Temple last year." No. 6 is indeed a monk in Qinglong Temple, a martial monk? No wonder he looks like Lu Zhishen....No. 6 said that his junior fellow was abducted by human traffickers... Could the junior fellow No. 6 is looking for be Henghui?
But Henghui eloped with Princess Pingyang... However, Henghui stole the magic weapon of Qinglong Temple, and that magic weapon appeared on Zhou Chixiong, a centurion of Jinwu Guard. Does this mean that the monk Henghui has encountered an accident?
Or, he was also involved in the Sangpo case. If it is the latter, what is his purpose? And where did the Princess Pingyang go?
This trip to Qinglong Temple yielded more than he expected.
....
Although he was deliberately rushing to catch up, he galloped all the way and returned to the night watchman's office more than an hour later.
Xu Qian'an asked the team members to rest for a while, and he closed the door to sort out and summarize the case.
Then he took out the fragment of the earth book and entered the message: [Three: No news about No. 6 yet?]
No one paid attention to him.
After a long time, Taoist Master Jinlian jumped out to save face: [Nine: No news yet. ]
Xu Qian'an was keenly aware that No. 6 might have discovered something, or was in an extremely dangerous situation, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to reply for so long.
[Three: Taoist Master Jinlian, you haven't located the fragment of the Earth Book yet?]
[Nine: It must have been blocked by some secret method. ]
[Two: Why does the big bald guy always get into trouble?]
No. 2 jumped out to interrupt.
[Nine: He has been investigating the case of his junior brother's disappearance. Perhaps, he was retaliated by the forces behind Pingyuanbo. ]
No, he found clues about his junior brother... But the result is the same. No. 6 is in big trouble anyway. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
[Four: If the fragment of the Earth Book falls into the hands of outsiders, then we can only stop any transmission of books as we did in the past. ]
[Two: If it falls into the hands of the Earth Sect, all of us may be in danger. ]
At this point, everyone in the Tiandihui felt anxious and under psychological pressure.
Not only were they worried about the safety of No. 6, but if they stopped using the Earth Book to send messages, the message exchange model that the Tiandihui had worked so hard to create would be in name only.
In the worst case, once it falls into the hands of the Earth Sect, ordinary members of the Earth Sect will not be afraid. But what if the Earth Sect Taoist wants to personally recover the Earth Book?
No. 1 and No. 3 are fine, hiding in the capital. If the Earth Sect Taoist has concerns, the others will be in danger.
[Two: By the way, please ask No. 3 for help. ]
[Four: Well, if No. 3 can use the relationship of Yunlu Academy to secretly assist Taoist Master Jinlian, then the difficulty of finding No. 6 will be greatly reduced.]
Unconsciously, the Tiandihui members' dependence on No. 3 has exceeded that of No. 1 who always loves to peek.
Whenever there is something happening in the land of Dafeng Capital, No. 3 subconsciously appears in their minds.
.... Why do I feel like I have become a tool?
I just got the first-hand information about No. 6's identity and current situation. If I spread it out now, there is a great risk of his identity being exposed. I have to make time difference... Well, unless all the members of the Tiandihui know about No. 6's background.
[Three: Do you know No. 6's identity? I mean the information that he is a Buddhist disciple.] [Two: I don't know. No. 6 claims to be a wandering Buddhist disciple and plans to stay in the capital for a long time. ]
No. 6 is pretending to be a foreigner... Well, this monk is smarter than Lu Zhishen!
Xu Qian'an knew what was going on and entered the information: [You don't have to worry about this matter. I will contact Taoist Jinlian. I know No. 6's situation better than anyone else. Taoist, can you come to my place tonight? I have something to discuss with you.]
"!!!!"
Seeing No. 3's words, for some reason, everyone in the Tiandihui felt awe-inspiring at the same time, as if there was a thorn in their back.
Number 3 actually figured out the background of number 6. From what he said, it seems that he has a certain grasp of his current situation? They had only had a brief encounter... As expected, the scholars of Yunlu Academy are very capable... Number 2 thought with fear. Number 3 is a bit interesting. He joined the academy the latest, but the skills, abilities and sharpness he showed are amazing. I look forward to meeting him when I return to the capital in the future. I will learn a lot from him then... Number 4 sincerely admired him.
[Five: Wow, then you must not check my identity, otherwise I will be angry. ]
Number 5 directly said what was in his heart.
[One: Number 3, do you have more accurate information about the Sangpo case? ]
[Three: I haven't paid attention to the Sangpo case these days.]
Seeing this, Number 1 went into hiding.
After agreeing on a meeting time with Taoist Master Jinlian, Xu Qian'an left the side hall and went straight to Haoqi Tower to ask to see Wei Yuan.
In the bright and airy tea room, Wei Yuan sat alone at the table, playing chess, his left hand against his right hand, as if he was performing a lonely one-man show.
Wei Yuan didn't even raise his head, and said with a smile: "I have been playing chess for half my life. At the beginning, I was defeated repeatedly, but I kept fighting after losing. Later, I gradually got better and defeated national players one after another. Unconsciously, I could no longer find any enemies."
The last time you played chess with the supervisor, didn't you end up in a draw? Xu Qian'an complained in his heart.
"But the enemies outside the chessboard are too numerous to be a headache." Wei Yuan put down the chess piece, pinched his brows, and said:
"What's the matter?"
"I want to report the progress of the case to Lord Wei." After a pause, Xu Qian'an said: "Yesterday morning, Magistrate Zhao of Taikang County was killed on the night he was imprisoned. The government office is keeping this secret for the time being."
"The death of Magistrate Zhao was very strange. There was no poisoning, no wounds, and he
died naturally."
Wei Yuan's expression suddenly paused. After a few seconds, his eyes flickered: "What do you
think?"
"I checked the information and found that the only ones who could do this were the Taoist Yin God and the Northeast Wushen Cult." Xu Qian'an took a deep breath:
"The Sangpo case involves the demon clan and the Northeast Wushen Cult. I racked my brains and thought about it. Who else in the court could collude with these two major forces at the
same time except that person."
Bang! Wei Yuan pressed his palm on the chessboard, and the chess pieces on the board trembled. He stared at Xu Qi'an with sharp eyes: "Once you leave here, you must not tell these
words to anyone."
Xu Qi'an hurriedly lowered his head and explained: "But, but I can't investigate further..."
"Go away." Wei Yuan said coldly.
"Yes!" Xu Qi'an left the tea room.
Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Wei Yuan collected the chess pieces and
cleaned the tea tray in an orderly manner. He changed into a green robe, walked to the stairs,
and ordered the clerk on duty:
"Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace."
Xu Qi'an only hated that he had no cigarettes on hand. He could only sit there dryly while thinking. He listened to Lu Qing and the three silver gongs discussing the case, and his soul
flew away.
"Zhenbei Wang is far away in the frontier. I can't go to the frontier to investigate. Besides, I dare not investigate. Unless His Majesty issues an imperial edict, a gold medal alone cannot investigate that great god."
"Being in the frontier... Hey, it gives me a perfect alibi."
"But there is no perfect crime in the world. As long as it is done, clues will be left. The key is
whether I can grasp these clues.... Well, Zhenbei Wang is not in the capital, but he needs a spokesperson, and that spokesperson must be someone in the court."
The clue of Zhenbei Wang cannot be investigated for the time being because Wei Yuan is unwilling to help him. If Wei Yuan can get an imperial edict, everything will be fine. Fortunately, cunning rabbits have more than one nest, and smart people will not have only one way.
Today's trip to Qinglong Temple was not in vain. Monk Henghui of Qinglong Temple is a breakthrough. If you want to investigate further along this breakthrough, you have to find a
way to find No. 6.
This is why Xu Qian'an asked Taoist Master Jinlian for a night meeting.
"Knock knock..."
The knock on the door interrupted the discussion between Lv Qing and the three silver gongs,
making them frown and look outside.
The taciturn Zhu Guangxiao stood by the door and said, "Ning Yan, the princess invites you."
Lv Qing and others turned their heads to look at Xu Qi'an.
What did Huai Qing want to see me for... Did he miss me? Oh, didn't we just meet yesterday? It
seems that it feels like a long time since we last met!
Xu Qi'an's mind was filled with the beautiful and cold princess, and her great heart that could
be placed on the table.
Although she looked as cold as a fairy, her figure was like a seductive witch.
...
Imperial Garden.
The four corners of the pavilion were hung with curtains to block the cold wind, and the
charcoal fire brought warm air.
Emperor Yuan Jing, dressed in a Taoist robe, and Wei Yuan, dressed in a green robe, were playing chess. One of them was an emperor, but he rarely wore a dragon robe.
One is a powerful official who supervises all officials, but he always wears a green robe.
Compared with the two maverick old guys, the young prince is dressed meticulously and stands respectfully beside Emperor Yuan Jing.
"Yesterday, the national teacher refined a furnace of golden elixir. I will send someone to give
you one later." Emperor Yuan Jing twisted the chess piece, looked at it for a long time, picked
up three black pieces like a cheat, and said with a smile: "One golden elixir for three chess pieces, it's not too much."
Wei Yuan nodded: "Not too much."
After a few more moves, Wei Yuan smiled and picked up six white pieces of Emperor Yuan
Jing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's camp is a bit messy, I will clean it up for you." Emperor Yuan Jing had no expression on his face, and said lightly: "Over the years, I still rely
on you, Wei Yuan. I often think that if you had not entered the palace, but took the right path of imperial examinations, the empire would have one more tailor, and I would not have to worry about these trivial things."
Wei Yuan's expression suddenly paused, and then returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Isn't my minister working for your majesty now?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned, staring at the chessboard and pondering in
silence.
It's not about how exciting and intense the chess game between my father and Duke Wei was, but about chewing on the conversation between the two. There was a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, not quite understanding.
The two people sitting in the pavilion, one has devoted himself to Taoism for twenty years
and can still firmly control the court, the emperor's mind is pure as fire.
The other is in charge of the night watchman's office as a eunuch, with his literary and military strategies, which makes countless scholars ashamed.
The conversation between them must be savored, savored carefully.
While the prince was daydreaming, he heard Emperor Yuan Jing say: "How is the
investigation of the Sangpo case? The files submitted by the government office and the Ministry of Justice are a mess. I remember that the chief officer of the night watchman's office is the criminal Tongluo, his surname is Xu, right?"
