Chapter 216: Chapter 216: ConfusedFuck... The moment he saw the dog shop owner, this word was the only thing left in Xu Qian'an's mind. After a long time, he was confused, angry, and slightly scared.
Confused because he didn't understand why it turned out like this, angry because he felt his IQ was insulted, and scared because if the other party had bad intentions, he might have been caught.
"This person is Liang Youping. Unlike Zhou Min, he is a native of Yunzhou. According to Yang Chuannan, this person hooked up with the Qi party through his channels." Li Miaozhen said.
"The experience of the Commander-in-Chief is the same as Zhou Min's..." Governor Zhang thought for a moment, and then questioned, "Why didn't you and Yang Chuannan contact me earlier and be frank?"
Li Miaozhen sat straight, and her sitting posture had not moved from the beginning. She just turned her wheat-colored face and said lightly:
"In the year of the imperial examination, the court's party struggles were fierce. How do you know if Wei Qingyi intends to take this opportunity to remove officials from all over the Qi party?"
"I am the shepherd of the emperor, and I should fulfill my duties, comfort the people, and severely punish corrupt officials, so as not to disappoint the trust of His Majesty and Duke Wei." Governor Zhang said in a deep voice.
Li Miaozhen curled his lips with disdain.
Damn Emperor Yuan Jing... Xu Qian'an could guess what No. 2 was thinking at this time.
He exhaled tiredly, knocked on the table, and after attracting the attention of the three people, he said in a low voice: "I know this person!"
The three were surprised.
Xu Qian'an stared at the portrait and asked, "Is he a cripple?"
"Yes, Liang Youping fell off a cliff during the suppression of bandits and broke his leg." Li Miaozhen replied.
...You can't believe a single punctuation mark in that guy's words. I was moved at the time. Xu Qian'an had the urge to curse again.
At the same time, he realized that his mental state was really bad, because he didn't even think of using the Zhan Qi technique to see if what the man said was true or false.
If it were normal, he would not make such a big mistake.
"What's going on?" Governor Zhang couldn't help asking.
Xu Qi'an waved his hands and pinched his eyebrows, "Governor, my mind is very confused now. Well, let me go somewhere, and I will explain it to you later."
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Luzhong: "Will Jiang Jinluo accompany me?"
Jiang Luzhong glanced at Governor Zhang and shook his head: "Wei Gong's order is to follow and protect the governor at all times."
Well, it makes sense. What if we come back and find that the governor's head has been taken off and kicked as a ball, then it will be comfortable...Xu Qi'an said:
"Then call two silver gongs to accompany me, and lend me thirty tiger guards."
He did not admit that he was a little scared, everything was for safety.
"I will accompany you!" Li Miaozhen was very active.
Xu Qi'an immediately changed his words: "Jiang Jinluo, I want three silver gongs."
Li Miaozhen: "..."
This little copper gong did not trust her, Li Miaozhen showed a little bit of feminine attitude, and glared at him viciously.
Soon, Xu Qi'an, with three silver gongs, thirty Tiger Guards, Li Miaozhen and Su Su, rode out of the post station and rushed to the Huangbo Street black market.
With the experience of the large army's impulsiveness not long ago, the soldiers patrolling the city did not stop the night watchmen when they saw their uniforms, but consciously gave way.
The patrol team from the capital had the right to act at their own discretion.
After leaving the inner city, they soon arrived at Huangbo Street. A group of Tiger Guards in bright armor rushed into the black market, attracting the vigilance and hostility of passers- by, who retreated one after another.
Xu Qi'an led the team to Shop No. 15, and was shocked to find that the door was closed, the doors and windows were dark, and there was no light inside.
His heart sank, and he waved his hand to let the Tiger Guards surround the shop and planned to force his way in.
"Wait!" Li Miaozhen shouted.
She took out the brocade bag from her waist bag, opened it, and wisps of green smoke floated out and drilled into the shop through the gaps in the doors and windows.
"Perfect spy." Xu Qi'an praised.
Li Miaozhen said "hmm" modestly.
Taoism is really interesting. The three pure ones are transformed from one qi. The three sects of heaven, earth and man have completely different ways of cultivation. The earth sect cultivates merit, the heaven sect cultivates no emotion, and the human sect does the opposite, turning a beautiful Taoist nun into a foxy woman... While Xu Qi'an was secretly complaining in his heart, he suddenly thought of a point.
The heaven and human sects are like fire and water. Could it be because of the opposite ways of cultivation?
The earth sect cultivates merit and does not touch either side, so the relationship with both sects is okay, there is no hatred or resentment, and they can exchange a few words when they
meet.
Otherwise, Li Miaozhen, the saint of the heaven sect, would not have joined the heaven and earth society.
Luo Yuheng, the Taoist leader, would not have given the elixir to Taoist Master Jinlian.
Sure enough, playing both sides is the kingly way, just like I am caught between Lin'an and Huaiqing, I can please both sides and flirt with both sides.
Oh!
Perfect.
At this time, a few wisps of green smoke returned, whispered in Li Miaozhen's ear for a moment, and then returned to the brocade bag.
"There is no one in the shop, and there is no ambush." Li Miaozhen said.
Xu Qi'an immediately waved his hand and broke into the shop with three silver gongs. He searched upstairs and downstairs. All the furnishings in the shop remained intact and were
not damaged.
There were even twenty taels of silver in the locked drawer. Xu Qi'an chose to confiscate them and put them in his wallet.
... There were no signs of fighting, no signs of looting.... The owner of the shop seemed to have just left temporarily.... Xu Qi'an searched fruitlessly, took people out of the shop, and walked towards the owner who came out of the shop to watch the excitement.
This shop also sells "dog meat" business.
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
The owner of Shop No. 16 came over obediently, lowered his head and said: "Sir."
"Where did the owner of Shop No. 15 go?"
"It has been closed for a few days. The girls he kept in his shop all came to my shop to make a living." The owner of Shop No. 16 answered every question, but didn't say anything extra.
"When did it close?" Xu Qiyan asked again.
"Three days ago."
Three days ago... After I left? Xu Qiyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to ask: "Is
the owner of Shop No. 15 the lame one?"
"It's him, but not the original owner."
...Not the original owner. Xu Qiyan's guess was confirmed, "Where is the original owner?
When did the lame new owner take over the shop?"
"Shop No. 15 changed its owner about ten days ago. I don't know where the original owner
went."
Xu Qiyan asked the owners of other shops around and got similar answers. The owners of the surrounding shops were also surprised that Shop No. 15 suddenly changed its owner.
However, the black market was cold and indifferent, and no one took it to heart.
On the way back, the horse moved slowly, and Xu Qiyan pinched his eyebrows for the nth time.
Li Miaozhen looked at him with her head tilted, and her voice was full of the magnetism of a mature woman, "You seem to be exhausted."
It's also good for you to know that I'm not a pervert... Xu Qiyan said: "General Li seems to have a misunderstanding of me and thinks that I'm a pervert, otherwise why would he send Miss
Susu to confuse me."
"Isn't it?"
Faced with Xu Qiyan's behavior of attacking him without saying anything, Li Miaozhen chose
to fight hard.
"I'm trying to reach the realm of refining spirits, and I haven't slept for a long time." Xu
Qiyan explained.
He didn't reveal how many days it was.
Trying to reach the realm of refining spirits? Li Miaozhen slightly widened her beautiful eyes
and examined him.
At this time, she realized that she had always misunderstood. Seeing Xu Qi'an with heavy dark circles under his eyes, anyone would subconsciously think that he was overindulging himself. Instead of thinking of impacting the Refining Spirit Realm first, she then heard Number One's evaluation of Xu Qi'an as a pervert, addicted to the Jiaofangsi, and the impression of a lecher was reinforced from then on.
Even if this is the change brought about by the impact of the Refining Spirit Realm, it cannot change the fact that you are a pervert... You will never know how well I know you... Li Miaozhen thought secretly.
But she was a little curious, how long has this kid endured?
Li Miaozhen didn't know much about the martial arts system. After all, she had only been
training in the mountains for a few years and had never met a martial artist who happened to
impact the Refining Spirit Realm.
Experienced people like Yang Chuannan could see at a glance that Xu Qi'an was impacting the Refining Spirit Realm. This is the vision of those who have experienced it.
"If I remember correctly, the limit of impacting the Refining Spirit Realm is ten days?"
"General Li doesn't know much about the warrior system."
"Why should I know?"
"You don't seem to look down on warriors."
Li Miaozhen answered humorously: "I'm not alone."
Xu Qian'an: "..."
He couldn't help but think of the proud white-robed sorcerers and Confucian scholars, who
also looked down on warriors. The contempt chain in this world is: no one is convinced by anyone, but everyone looks down on warriors.
Xu Qian'an used to only know that the most disgusting discrimination in the world is "sweeping pornography and cracking down on gangs", and now there is one more, called:
warriors.
In addition to sorcerers and warriors, all major systems have existences that transcend grades, or have appeared existences that transcend grades. But the role of sorcerers is far higher than that of warriors, and sorcerers are more likely to be respected.
I don't know when the warrior system will also produce a martial god.
"It's really shocking." Xu Qian'an said.
....
Back at the post station, Governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong were no longer in the hall. A Tiger
Guard was left waiting to tell Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen that the Governor was waiting in the
room.
Knocking on Governor Zhang's door, Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen entered the room. "The man that General Li drew was the owner of the black market shop who kept the evidence
for Zhou Min. I solved the code left by Zhou Min, groped over there, and got the account
book."
Xu Qian'an told Governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong what happened.
After listening, Governor Zhang's face was solemn: "Could the original owner be the real one
who kept the account book?"
Xu Qian'an nodded and said, "Nine out of ten, yes, and if I'm not mistaken, he has probably been killed. The shop owner I met later was Liang Youping in disguise." Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Jiang Luzhong touched the hard stubble on his chin and said in a puzzled tone: "Then how did
they find the black market?"
"Do you remember what I said when analyzing the case?" Xu Qian'an pinched his eyebrows,
"We found out the black market shop No. 15 through the clue of Yang Yingying. But this clue
was not for us, but for Mr. Yang, the governor of Qingzhou.
"In other words, the clue that Zhou Min originally left for us was cracked in advance."
There are many smart people in the world.
Li Miaozhen shook her head: "Don't you think it's strange? Since the account book has been
found, why should it be destroyed directly? Why should it be left waiting for you to find it before handing it to you?"
Jiang Lvzhong was surprised: "The account book was swapped, and the one we got was fake?"
"No!" Governor Zhang shook his head: "If the account book is fake, the officials will go to the Metropolitan Command Office to check the accounts tomorrow and will soon find the flaws. Then what's the point of sending fake account books?"
Jiang Lvzhong frowned even more: "But sending the real account book is even more outrageous. Kill the real contact dog meat shop owner, and then return the account book to us
intact?" "Indeed, whether the account book is real or fake, it is not logical." Xu Qian'an pinched his eyebrows and paced in the room:
"Let's review this case carefully."
"Zhou Min found out that Yang Chuannan secretly supported the mountain bandits and wrote
a secret letter to report to the government. When the Qi party learned about it, they immediately attacked the night watchman's government and fabricated a corruption case to try to force Duke Wei to compromise.
"Then, by chance, I found out that the Qi party colluded with the Wushen Cult and secretly
supported the mountain bandits. The court realized the seriousness of the matter and sent
me..."
Governor Zhang coughed hard.
Xu Qian'an changed his words and said, "Send the governor to Yunzhou to investigate the
case."
"Just now I asked in the black market that the original owner of No. 15 Ding was killed ten days ago. At this time, we are still at the border of Qingzhou. General Li, when did Yang Chuannan receive the secret letter from the capital?"
"The letter was received about six days ago from a good friend of Lord Yang." Li Miaozhen
said.
"That's right. We are already taking the fastest route. Even if the Qi Party is faster than us, it can't be more than ten days." Xu Qian'an nodded: "Whether it is killing Zhou Min to silence
him or killing the dog meat shop owner, it should have nothing to do with the Qi Party in the capital. Our real enemy is in Yunzhou.
"In this case, there are only two situations in this case: First, all this is a self-torture trick used by Yang Chuannan. Second, there is a black hand behind the scenes, preparing to push Yang Chuannan out as a scapegoat. When the secret letter was sent back to the capital, the
layout and planning began. Kill Zhou Min, find the hidden evidence, and try to make Yang Chuannan take the blame.
"If the account book is real, then the first situation is unlikely, because it is equivalent to actively handing the butcher knife to us.
"If the account book is fake, it is even more meaningless. Yang Chuannan has neither escaped
suspicion nor been truly convicted. Liang Youping took the initiative to hand over the account book to us, but instead aroused suspicion and saved Yang Chuannan in disguise."
Li Miaozhen keenly caught a logical loophole: "In other words, the account book must be real.
According to your speculation, the account book is real; there is a mastermind behind the scenes who wants to push Yang Chuannan out as a shield.
"Then Liang Youping's behavior of killing the dog meat shop owner and handing the account book to you personally is unreasonable."
Yes, under the premise that the account book is real, the mastermind behind the scenes only
needs to wait for the governor's team to find it, and Yang Chuannan will have no way to defend himself.
Liang Youping's behavior is unnecessary.
Governor Zhang pondered and said: "Perhaps, there is a problem with the account
The
account book is real, but there is a problem with it. This problem will make us point the finger
at the real mastermind behind the scenes. Therefore, they have to rack their brains to find it and destroy the flaws in it.
"Then pretend to be the owner of the dog meat shop and wait for us to come to the door so
that the account book can be handed over to us."
Jiang Luzhong nodded first, then shook his head: "How do they know that there is a problem
with the account book? Wasn't this account book made by Zhou Min?" Governor Zhang smiled and said, "The reason why Zhou Min was able to find evidence is because he is an experienced commander of the Military Command. He is in charge of the warehouse and receiving and sending military equipment. And Liang Youping is also an experienced commander."
Xu Qiyan suddenly said, "There is something I don't understand."
"Huh?" Li Miaozhen looked over.
"Why is it Liang Youping who is responsible for handing over the account book to us?" Xu
Qiyan glanced at the three people, "Don't you think it's strange? Liang Youping has been exposed. Once we catch Yang Chuannan and torture him, he will definitely defend himself and tell everything he knows in order to prove his innocence.
"In this case, as long as we check Liang Youping's portrait... then there is this meeting."
Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "Because only Liang Youping can find the problem in the account book?" Jiang Luzhong glanced at her and said, "They have plenty of time to find the problem hidden in the account book. They can just change someone to disguise themselves. There is no need to let Liang Youping stay there all the time. If Ning Yan hadn't seen your portrait, he would
not have realized that the dog meat shop owner was fake.
"In other words, as long as that person is not Liang Youping, we won't find it. It looks like he
took the initiative to expose the flaw."
As for the disguise, with the eyesight of Xu Qian'an and others, it is easy to see through the
disguise at close range.
.....
Zhu Guangxiao woke up from his dream and felt his bladder swelling, so he got up to go to the
toilet.
After leaving the room and walking to the corridor, he suddenly saw a woman in a white dress sitting at the table in the hall.
She had black and beautiful hair. From this angle, Zhu Guangxiao could only see the side face
of the woman in the white dress. The side face alone was so beautiful that it was not like an
ordinary thing, which made people's heart beat.
Su, Miss Su Su... No, it's that female ghost!!
Zhu Guangxiao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
