Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The character of No. 3 collapses?Hengyuan's eyes fell on the small jade mirror, which he had left at the bottom of the well. It accidentally fell out of his arms during the conflict with Henghui.
After listening to Henghui's story and watching him sit and die, he was so sad that he didn't care about the fragments of the Earth Book.
Later, the night watchman came. He knew that he would go to the dungeon. In order to prevent the mirror from being searched by the night watchman, it was the best choice to stay at the bottom of the well.
Hengyuan's plan was to retrieve the fragments of the Earth Book if he had a chance to escape, or Taoist Master Jinlian would pick it up for him.
Unexpectedly, it finally fell into the hands of the night watchman.
Xu Qian'an stared at Hengyuan, waiting for his reply.
The small jade mirror was given to him by Wei Yuan this morning, and he didn't leave any other instructions, but Xu Qian'an felt that Wei Yuan meant to return the fragments of the Earth Book to No. 6 through his hands.
Seeing the bald man was silent for a long time, Xu Qian'an drank a sip of tea and said slowly: "This mirror was found at the bottom of the well. If it's not yours, it's Henghui's. And its real name is the Earth Book." Hengyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at him. Xu Qi'an smiled and said confidently, "There are many people in the world who don't know it, but we, the night watchmen, are not included."
Hengyuan lowered his head again and whispered, "This is exactly mine."
Xu Qi'an said, "As far as I know, this is a magic weapon of the Taoist Earth Sect. How could it be in the hands of a monk like you?"
Hengyuan replied, "I got this magic weapon by chance. I hope you can return it."
Xu Qi'an shook his head, took back the jade mirror, played with it in his hand, and smiled, "Master, I think it's probably more than that? The magic weapon of the Taoist Earth Sect can be explained by a phrase of "fate"?
"If you say something useful and frankly, I will let you leave. Otherwise, you will stay in the night watchman's dungeon for the rest of your life."
Hengyuan was silent for a moment, got up and was about to leave.
Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to the dungeon."
.... Number Six is a good person, he didn't betray the Tiandihui, of course, it may also be because he didn't suffer any punishment. But this is not what I want. Xu Qiyan said in a deep voice: "It's just a magic weapon, why did you do this, is there anything more precious than freedom in the world?"
Hengyuan didn't turn around, just said: "Please put the shackles back on me."
Xu Qiyan looked at the clerk who was taking notes: "You go out first."
The clerk packed up the paper, pen and inkstone and left the interrogation room.
Xu Qiyan coughed, and his tone became softer: "Master, please sit down, please sit down."
He stood up, pulled Hengyuan's arm, and made a respectful gesture.
Hengyuan sat back at the table in a daze, looking at Tongluo, whose attitude changed 180 degrees, wondering what he was thinking.
"Sir, I don't know anything, the Book of the Earth was indeed obtained by chance. "Hengyuan said helplessly.
....Don't be so blunt, monks don't lie, you will be embarrassed later! Xu Qiyan said with a half- smile: "Ning is the number six of the Tiandihui."
Σ(°°III)
Hengyuan widened his eyes, looking at him in shock and confusion, the indifferent temperament on his face disappeared without a trace, full of hostility and vigilance.
It seems that as long as Xu Qiyan reveals a signal that he is going to harm the Tiandihui, he will slap the copper gong to death and exchange his life for his life.
Xu Qiyan lowered his voice, and in the tone of an underground party, he lay on the table and said: "I am Xu Qiyan, a spy planted by Yunlu Academy in the night watchman's office.
"The fragments of the earth book were not found by the office, but I fished them out from the bottom of the well, and I also led people to find you. And all this was ordered by number three. He is my superior."
Number three?! Hengyuan was in deep shock. He did not immediately deny or doubt what the bronze gong said, because at this moment, he thought of something.
"No. 3 is a student of Yunlu Academy. He has revealed more than once that the academy has planted people in various government offices of the court... As a Confucian orthodox academy that once ruled the court, such behavior is normal...
"After the Sangpo case, No. 3 also mentioned the details of the Sangpo case in the internal letter of the Tiandihui... There are indeed spies from Yunlu Academy in the night watchman's office...
"But how does No. 3 know my location? Yes, Taoist Master Jinlian knows the identity of each of us. Henghui was with me at the time, and Taoist Master Jinlian would definitely avoid conflict with Henghui, so he could only ask for help from others. The night watchman was responsible for the Sangpo case, and No. 3 who had spies in the night watchman's office was the best person to ask for help...
"I owe No. 3 another life. No. 3 is indeed a scholar, chivalrous and brave, and a trustworthy friend. I am afraid that this cause and effect will be difficult to repay in the future. "Thinking of this, Hengyuan took a deep breath, looked at Xu Qian'an without vigilance and hostility, and asked softly: "What else did No. 3 say?"
"He said that the Spring Examination is approaching and he can't leave Yunlu Academy. If he encounters similar troubles in the future, it is likely that he will not be able to rescue him in time. So, let me contact the master. If the master needs any help in the future, you can come to me."
Xu Qiyan added in his heart: If I need anything, I can also find you, and I won't expose the identity of No. 3. At least not in the short term.
He didn't want to expose himself for the time being. First, the prestige he had established before was a bit exaggerated. The members of the Tiandihui all thought that he was the top elite of Yunlu Academy and a scholar with a wealth of knowledge.
It turned out that No. 3 was just a copper gong.
Secondly, if you keep a hand and don't expose your true identity, it is equivalent to leaving a lot of room for maneuver.
Anyway, for No. 6 Hengyuan, it doesn't make much difference whether I am a night watchman or a student of Yunlu Academy. I'm not cheating.
Hengyuan nodded, took the fragment of the earth book handed over by the handsome copper gong, and said: "If you need my help in the future, just ask me."
Xu Qiyan smiled and waved his hand: "Master, I will take you out now."
After sending Hengyuan away, Xu Qi'an returned to Chunfeng Hall. Lü Qing and other detectives from the government office no longer came to the government office because they knew that Xu Qi'an would most likely make amends for his crimes in the Pingyang Princess
case.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were meditating in the side hall, while Li Yuchun was packing up, making sure that every decoration was in order.
"Boss, I'll help you..."
"No, don't move." Li Yuchun hurriedly stopped: "I can do it myself, I can do it myself."
Xu Qi'an was happy to be free, so he sat down at the table and said: "After the case is over, let's go to the Jiaofangsi for a drink, I'll treat everyone."
"Jiaofangsi...." Li Yuchun hesitated.
"Boss, you haven't never been to the Jiaofangsi, have you? "Xu Qiyan found the point, winked
and said in a sarcastic way.
In this era, it is rare for a man with status and position to have never been to the Jiaofangsi. It
is as rare as Xu Qiyan's female doctor in his previous life was still a virgin, and the 30-year- old male doctor never used his hands to show off.
They are all rare in the world.
"Why go to such a smoky place?" Li Yuchun shook his head and said, "The three of them will
be beheaded at noon today. Will you go to watch?"
Xu Qiyan shook his head quickly: "No, I can't stand that kind of scene."
Li Yuchun cast a puzzled look.
Beheading is too normal in Dafeng. Not to mention that a group of officials were dragged to
the Caishikou to be beheaded during the Beijing inspection, even those death row prisoners who were executed after the autumn are enough for the common people to watch while
eating.
No psychological pressure.
"Anyway, I won't go. "Xu Qian'an said.
The scene of hundreds of people being beheaded was too shocking for him, and he couldn't sleep. This was because he had several years of criminal investigation experience and had read many bloody murder case files. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have a psychological shadow.
Noon, Caishikou.
On the execution platform, more than a hundred people were kneeling, and the two at the front were Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and his son Zhang Yi.
They wore white prison uniforms, their eyes covered with black cloth, waiting for death to
come. Thousands of people gathered around, watching in three layers inside and outside.
Not everyone likes to watch the cruel and bloody scene, although in the eyes of the people, those who were beheaded were all extremely evil criminals. The main reason was that the court adopted a semi-forced and semi-encouraged policy on the "onlookers". Some people had to come and were forced to watch.
The reason was simple, to promote the majesty of the court and deter the people.
"Behead! "The execution officer glanced at the sun crown and threw the order. Death came, and the blindfolded relatives cursed, angrily cursing that the Minister of War
Zhang Feng harmed others and himself, and would not let him go even if he became a ghost. The executioner raised the butcher knife high, and heads rolled down one by one. The blood splattered very exaggeratedly, and the strong smell of blood could even be smelled by the
people outside.
After that, two more groups of death row prisoners were beheaded, namely the families of Pingyuan Bo and Sun Zhongming.
Standing outside the crowd, Monk Hengyuan turned away silently. He came to watch the
execution scene for two reasons: S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The first was to settle the cause and effect for his junior brother Henghui, so he came to watch
the beheading of his enemy. The second was to calm his own obsession and avoid the
formation of demons in the future.
Henghui was his junior brother who he raised by himself, like a disciple and a son. Repaying
one thing for another, this matter is over.

"Master Shenshu...are you awake?"
In the side hall, while breathing and practicing Qi, Xu Qi'an still did not get a reply from the
monk.
He seemed to be able to sense my thoughts. Was it the Buddhist telepathy? Telepathy should
not be able to read memories... In any case, he was asleep most of the time, which was a good
thing.
Xu Qi'an was thinking, and his heart palpitated. He opened his eyes and saw that his two colleagues were breathing with their eyes closed. He took out the jade mirror with peace of mind and browsed the book.
[Six: Everyone, I am fine. Thank you for your concern.]
[Five: Is No. 6 really No. 6? Could it be a night watchman pretending to be him?]
No. 5 was the first to question. At first glance, he was cautious, but in fact he was the
stupidest. [Four: Oh, if it was fake, Taoist Jinlian would have warned us in advance. No. 5, what you should think about is whether No. 6 was instigated by the night watchman.]
Number Four is indeed a scholar, and he has been a high-ranking official, with a sharp mind...
Xu Qi'an sighed twice.
[Five: Then, number six, have you been turned?]
[Six: I am very good, I want to thank number three and Taoist Jinlian for saving me. ]
[Nine: No need to thank me, your junior brother has no intention of killing you.]
[Four: How is the progress of the Sangpo case?]
Seeing this, Xu Qi'an waited for a while, but did not receive a message from number one, and
entered the message: [The Sangpo case is over, but it is not over. ]
[Four: As expected. ]
[Five: What do you mean, what do you mean by as expected, how can the Sangpo case be over,
and how can it be said that it is not over?]
[Four: Oh, let number three explain it, I think he can explain it more clearly than me. ]
Xu Qian'an pondered for a moment, chose to take over the burden of No. 4, and entered the
information: [It's very simple. The real purpose of the Sangpo case is to lead to the Pingyang Princess case. Henghui brought the seal to the inner city and destroyed the Pingyuan Bo Mansion. This is the best proof.
[At noon today, the three officials involved were exterminated and beheaded at Caishikou. The case of Pingyang Princess has been concluded, and the purpose of the mastermind behind
the scenes has been achieved. They will most likely leave the capital with the seal next, and
this storm will be over.
[But the Sangpo case itself is not over yet. ]
So that's the case. No. 5 suddenly realized, and then suddenly stabbed No. 3 in the back: [No. 3, you are a big liar. The person who picks up money every day is obviously you. ]
