Chapter 230: Chapter 230 PensionWei Yuan has been standing firm in the officialdom for decades, and he can keenly distinguish the slight change in the atmosphere.
Although Emperor Yuan Jing only glanced at him when he came in, and although the ministers had withdrawn their gazes at this time, Wei Yuan knew that this small court meeting was mostly related to himself.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 the results of the imperial examination will be released in a few days. During this period, the Ministry of Personnel of various states have sent the inspection list one after another, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to write it.
And the inspection results in the capital have gradually taken shape under the auspices of the Minister of Personnel.
The officials in the hall and Emperor Yuan Jing knew what kind of bloody storm was accompanied by the formation of this inspection list. They would definitely not start over at this moment.
Since it is not a matter of the imperial examination, what other major matters will involve himself?
Wei Yuan's mind turned quickly, and two words emerged in his mind-Yunzhou!
The 800-mile urgent information came from Yunzhou... It seems that Yunzhou really rebelled. With the ability of Jiang Luzhong and Yang Yan, and the efforts and preparations made by Zhang Xingying before, Yunzhou would not be in chaos... Wei Yuan pondered.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the ministers who were qualified to attend the small court meeting arrived one after another.
Emperor Yuan Jing looked down at the ministers in the hall and said, "This morning, there was an 800-mile urgent document from Yunzhou. The Yunzhou case has already had a result. The one who colluded with the Wushen Cult, supported the mountain bandits, and transported military supplies was Song Changfu, the governor of Yunzhou."
It was as if a bomb had fallen, and the ministers exploded and were horrified. Then, there were uncontrollable discussions and angry voices.
However, some of them were not surprised, such as Wang Dang.
The urgent document must first pass through the hands of the cabinet, and then be transferred to the Ministry of Communications. The Ministry of Communications is responsible for receiving the emperor's orders and communicating the situation below. It is a government office that is specifically responsible for checking and approving official documents for the emperor, and reporting the opinions, petitions, military information, disasters, and other matters of the subjects from all directions.
The cabinet is the territory of the prime minister Wang. Of course, the cabinet has no right to privately open the expedited 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 the Wang party got the first-hand information.
"Silence!"
The big companion beside Emperor Yuan Jing shouted several times before the ministers quieted down.
"Listen to it, everyone." Emperor Yuan Jing said.
The eunuch with gray hair and wearing a dragon robe glanced at the eunuch in the corner and nodded slightly.
The eunuch stepped forward, unfolded the document in his hand, and read aloud:
"Your servant Zhang Xingying, buckle up:
The Yunzhou case was concluded on January 24th, and the traitors Song Changfu, Yang You, Chen Ming... 34 people were all executed."
A series of names, all officials of high rank.
"Today, Yunzhou has returned to its original state, and the major case has been closed. This is the result of the court's education and the merits of your majesty's kindness and wisdom.
"Jinluo Jiang Luzhong has been protecting me all the way and working diligently...
"Jinluo Yang Yan, risking his life, led the army to attack the rebels and made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, preventing the rebels from burning, killing, looting, and harming the people of Yunzhou. He has made great contributions...
"Yinluo Zhao Bin, Tangshan Hu, and Li Yun, the three of them died at the hands of the Wushen Cult's dream witch to protect me. They died without regrets. Their loyalty and courage are so great that I feel deeply sorry for them..."
"Bronze Luo Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao have made many contributions in the investigation process and helped Xu Qian'an find evidence. In order to protect the evidence, they did not hesitate to feed ghosts with their bodies, which led to a great loss of blood and qi... In the process of suppressing the rebels, they took the lead and were not afraid of life and death. Their heart to serve the country is touching...."
From the Golden Gong to the Bronze Gong, Governor Zhang praised each of them in great detail and with great care.
Wei Yuan listened in silence. Even when he heard that the three Silver Gongs had died, this powerful official who never showed his emotions remained expressionless and showed no emotion.
"Bronze Gong Xu Qi'an, during his journey south, uncovered the iron ore smuggling case. This has been mentioned in the previous report and will not be elaborated on. But in the Yunzhou case, Xu Qi'an almost single-handedly solved all the clues and found the evidence... It was also he who discovered Song Changfu's conspiracy, which reversed the case and made the envoy not blame the loyal officials.
"After the incident was exposed, Song Changfu was desperate and summoned the rebels to close the city gates and besiege and kill me in the governor's office. When I was in a desperate situation, Xu Qi'an fought with hundreds of rebels with one sword, killed more than 200 enemies, and finally died of exhaustion.
"I am bold enough to ask for a posthumous title.
"I am in Yunzhou, hoping to see the emperor soon. Zhang Xingying bows again."
After reading, the eunuch gathered up the long memorial and retreated.
Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the ministers who could not stop the uproar and whispered to each other, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Yuan.
This eunuch who was legendary and was praised as the strongest national hand in Dafeng for 500 years; this left commander of the five armies who won the Battle of Shanhaiguan and subdued the surrounding countries; this Wei Yan who commanded the night watchmen and supervised the officials and had a bad reputation...
At this moment, he was distracted at the court meeting.
"What do you think of what Zhang Xingying reported?" Emperor Yuan Jing asked: "Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan..."
He shouted three times in a row, louder and louder each time.
Wei Yuan was shocked and seemed to be startled. Only then did he react and said softly "Ah?"
Emperor Yuan Jing raised his lips and said, "Lord Wei seems to be in poor spirits. Zhang Xingying strangled the rebellion in Yunzhou in the cradle. This is also your credit. Is Lord Wei
unhappy?"
Wei Yuan did not answer.
The Minister of Rites and the Left Minister of the Left jumped out and scolded, "Wei Yuan, your majesty is asking you a question."
Wei Yuan still did not answer.
"Forget it!" Emperor Yuan Jing was in a good mood. He waved his hand and discussed the memorial with the ministers and rewarded the night watchmen according to their merits. When it came to Xu Qi'an, there were differences on the posthumous title. A small number of ministers agreed to grant the title. More people said it was inappropriate.
In fact, there was nothing wrong. The title was not an official position, but a "reward" for meritorious people and a means for the court to win people's hearts.
In Xu Qi'an's case, it was a posthumous title, which was only a posthumous honor. But Xu Qi'an was Wei Yuan's confidant. It was the instinct of civil officials to argue with Wei Yuan. Secondly, Xu Qi'an had too many enemies. From the tax silver case to the Sangpo case, and then from the Pingyang County Princess case to the Yunzhou case.
Because of him, the Minister of Revenue of the Wang Party fell; the Liang Party was abolished; the Minister of Rites of the Wang Party fell; the Minister of Works of the Qi Party
was executed with all his clans...
There were too many people who hated him to count, and they were unwilling to give him even the honor after his death.
Among them, the Dali Temple Minister and the Minister of Rites, who were also members of the Qi Party, were the most excited. They spoke impassionedly and pointed out the shortcomings. In short, it was just one sentence:
Xu Qi'an was not worthy.
Although the Dali Temple Minister was a member of the Qi Party, he was able to stay out of
the matter because there was no evidence that the Dali Temple Minister also colluded with
the Wushen Sect.
The so-called party was just a political ally, not a relative or family member.
The Minister of Rites was a member of the Wang Party, and his immediate superior was brought down by Xu Qi'an in the Sangpo case. The most hateful thing was that the new Minister of Rites was a member of Wei Yuan.
The attitude of the ministers made Emperor Yuan Jing hesitate. From his point of view, the death of the Tongluo that he always disliked was certainly not enough to make the emperor
excited and ecstatic, but to be honest, it was quite comfortable.
It was like driving away a buzzing fly.
However, Emperor Yuan Jing agreed to give the title. Because Xu Qi'an had indeed made great
contributions, the title could show his clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
Emperor Yuan Jing was the most tolerant of the dead.
But if most of the ministers 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 reject Zhang Xingying's suggestion, when he suddenly saw Wei Yuan come out.
The eunuch walked straight to the Minister of Rites, raised his hand, and "slap!".
The loud slap resounded throughout the imperial study, instantly overwhelming the arguments of the ministers, and a series of surprised eyes looked over.
"Slap!"
The Dali Temple Minister was also slapped, staggering and falling, his hair crown fell off, and
his hair was disheveled.
"Wow..."
The surprised eyes turned into a noise, and the imperial study exploded.
In the history of Dafeng, there are many examples of ministers with bad tempers fighting in
the court. What's more, this is the imperial study.
But the one who beat him was Wei Yuan, which seemed absurd and bizarre.
In the minds of the ministers, Wei Yuan, as a eunuch, was in charge of the night watchman's
office and the Censorate, and he stole into a high position. He was labeled as sinister, cunning, black-bellied, vicious, cunning, and scheming.
But he was definitely not "impulsive and reckless". If he was so easily caught, he would have
been played to death long ago.
What conspiracy did Wei Yuan have? Was it intentional?
While the thoughts of the officials in the court were floating, the professional troll
Jieshizhong didn't have to think so much. Several "Zuodu Jieshi" from the six ministries
rushed out in a panic and shouted:
"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan beat people in the court. He has no respect for Your Majesty and the
law. Please order your Majesty to behead this beast."
Jieshizhong didn't have to think so much, just get the handle and fight to the death.
Immediately, many ministers seconded the motion.
Wei Yuan ignored the accusations of the ministers, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Your
Majesty, the Qi Party incident has not been concluded. Although the Minister of Works has been dealt with, his accomplices are still lurking in the court. In the Sangpo case, the Minister of Rites colluded with the demon clan, and his accomplices are still there.
"It happened to be the time for the Beijing inspection, and I suggest that the inspection be
postponed until everything is clear before making a decision. "
What do you mean?
The ministers were shocked and looked at Wei Yuan in disbelief. The meaning of his words was that he wanted to delay the imperial examination. He wanted to make trouble?! Since the beginning of the year, the officialdom in the capital has experienced a period of
dormancy, cautious waiting, and intrigue and fear from the middle to the end of the year. It has been exhausted.
Even the most aggressive conspirators want to end the imperial examination as soon as possible and recuperate.
Wei Yuan, this guy, wants to continue the struggle?
Is he crazy?
Even the Prime Minister Wang Zhenwen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wei Yuan
in astonishment. Wei Qingyi had a blank expression on his face, which was not much different from usual.
As an old rival, Prime Minister Wang found that he could not guess Wei Yuan's intentions at
this moment.
A momentary anger?
No, how could Wei Yuan be swayed by emotions. Besides, where does the anger come from?
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at Wei Yuan for a moment, and suddenly realized that the bronze gong named Xu Qi'an had a special place in Wei Yuan's heart.
He pressed his hand, waited for the ministers to calm down, and slowly said: "Such a
complicated and suspenseful case, Xu Qi'an solved it in ten months, it is really amazing.
"Such a talent died in the line of duty, which is a loss to our court. Let's do as Zhang Xingying
said.
"Wei Yuan beat the court official in court, disrespected the law, and fined one year's salary. As for the matter of the imperial inspection, follow the ancestral system and do not need to be
changed. " The ministers were not surprised by Emperor Yuan Jing's light punishment. Although they were disappointed, they knew that such a thing could not bring down the great eunuch. Given Wei Yuan's importance, His Majesty had a high tolerance for him. Beating the court officials once or twice, it was already the limit to receive some punishment.
What surprised them was that Wei Yuan no longer bothered about the matter of the imperial
examination and kept silent about it.
This made the ministers realize that the so-called delay of the imperial examination was just
an excuse for Wei Yuan to vent his anger.
Compared with the punishment that was neither light nor heavy, the reason why Wei Yuan lost his composure made the ministers very concerned. It turned out that the impeccable Wei Yan also had something that made him concerned and made him lose his composure? Afterwards, there was a heated discussion on the issue of Xu Qiyan's posthumous title.
After a lot of wrangling, Xu Qiyan's title was decided: the son of Changle County.
Viscount!
It cannot be inherited.
.....
The court meeting ended, and the ministers dispersed. Wei Yuan walked forward without
saying a word. I don't know if it was intentional, but he walked very fast in front of the
ministers, not wanting others to see his expression. "Foster father."
Nangong Qianrou came forward and was about to ask about the content of the small court meeting and the urgent documents of 800 miles, but he was suddenly stunned.
Wei Yuan's face was expressionless, but it was easy to read sadness. In his eyes, which were
washed by the years, there was a deep desolation.
Without saying hello or even nodding, Wei Yuan came silently, passed by Nangong Qianrou silently, and continued to move forward silently.
The hem of the green robe swayed gently. The back was desolate and lonely. What happened... Nangong Qianrou was stunned. He glanced at the ministers coming from
behind, resisted the temptation, and followed Wei Yuan in big strides.
The wheels were rumbling, and on the way back to the night watchman's office, Nangong
Qianrou endured all the way. When he was close to the office, he finally asked: "Foster father, what happened?"
In the carriage, Wei Yuan's low and hoarse voice came: "Xu Qian'an died in the line of duty."
This... Nangong Qianrou's expression froze.
He turned his head and quietly looked at the carriage. Although the door blocked his view, he
still unconsciously slowed down his movements, fearing that he would be discovered by Wei
Yuan.
The entire night watchman's office knew that Lord Wei valued Xu Qiyan, but only Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan knew that it was more than just value. His adoptive father had great expectations for Xu Qiyan, just like a craftsman who found a perfect piece of uncut jade.
He couldn't let go of him, and was obsessed with carving him into a unique jade, and when the
jade was completed, it would shock the world.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Nangong Qianrou knew in his heart that this expectation
and attention had surpassed his adopted son by a lot.
Now that Xu Qiyan died in the line of duty, one can imagine how his adoptive father felt...
Nangong Qianrou sighed in his heart.
He thought he would be secretly happy. Xu Qiyan's appearance made him jealous and
unbalanced. He thought countless times that it would be better if that guy had never appeared.
My adoptive father is still most concerned about me.
Now that she has heard the news of Xu Qian'an's death, Nangong Qianrou is not happy at all.
Instead, she feels lost and empty in her heart.
At this moment, the reins in her hand suddenly fell off. Nangong Qianrou was surprised to find
that the reins in her palm had been crushed into powder by him at some point. Back at the government office, Nangong Qianrou followed Wei Yuan into the Haoqi Building
and climbed to the seventh floor. Wei Yuan stopped at the entrance of the tea room and
whispered:
"You go out first. I want to be alone for a while."
Nangong Qianrou was about to say something but stopped herself. She bowed and retreated,
but did not leave. Instead, she waited outside the teahouse.
The teahouse was quiet. The afternoon sun shone on the observation deck, which was
spacious and bright.
Wei Yuan read the official documents as usual, as if nothing had happened. He was still the
great eunuch who did not show his emotions.
The sun gradually moved westward. The evening sun was orange-red, and the clouds in the
west were burning.
Wei Yuan did not turn over a page of the official documents in his hand. He sat there for two and a half hours.
Closing the official documents and pinching his eyebrows, Wei Yuan shouted: "Qianrou."
"Adoptive father..." Nangong Qianrou came in when she heard the voice, her delicate face full of worry.
"Call all the Jinluo in the yamen." Wei Yuan said. Nangong Qianrou retreated, and soon returned with six Jinluo.
At this time, Wei Yuan stood in the middle of the teahouse with his hands behind his back,
silently examining the Jinluo.
"Mr. Wei. "The Jinluo clasped their fists.
Wei Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly: "Order all the hidden agents scattered outside to
infiltrate the countries in the northeast. Before the beginning of summer, I will get the southwest border defense layout map of the Wushen Cult at all costs."
Jinluo Zhang Kaitai was surprised: "Duke Wei..."
The other Jinluo were also surprised.
Wei Yuan said lightly: "After the autumn harvest, I will fight the Wushen Cult."
Sure enough... Several Jinluo carefully observed Wei Yuan and finally noticed that there was
something wrong with the great eunuch. The Duke Wei in the past always had a transcendent attitude of wisdom and a calmness that matched his status.
But today's Duke Wei is different from the past. His eyes full of vicissitudes are burning with
sharp edges and fighting spirit.
This kind of fighting spirit and determination was only seen during the Battle of Shanhaiguan
that
year.
The Jinluo bowed their heads together and used a formal reply: "I will obey your order. " Several Jinluo took their leave and left the Haoqi Tower. One Jinluo frowned and said, "The
court will not start a war easily."
Nangong Qianrou sneered. The court would not start a war easily, but the Wushen Church and the Northeast countries would not. As long as they took the initiative to send confidential information through secret channels, they would not be afraid that the Wushen Church would
not take the bait.
When the border is invaded, His Majesty and the officials in the court will not turn a blind eye.
With the means of my adoptive father, if he wants to fight the Wushen Church, it 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 in the
court today? Duke Wei is a little abnormal."
Nangong Qianrou nodded: "This morning, there was an urgent letter of 800 miles, which was
delivered by Zhang Xingying of Yunzhou. As my adoptive father expected, Yunzhou really rebelled."
After a pause, he glanced at the Jinluo and said in a deep voice unconsciously: "Xu Qian'an
died in the line of duty."
The Jinluo suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the Haoqi Tower.
.....
At this time, Xu Qi'an was still floating on the water.
Wasn't it Bi Wang who kidnapped Liang Youping?!
Xu Qi'an felt an indescribable horror in his heart, just like taking a selfie in an abandoned
house, and after taking the photo home and developing it, he found a female ghost in white
clothes with disheveled hair standing behind him. That kind of horror made people's backs cold and their scalps numb.
"Did you really not kidnap Liang Youping?" Xu Qi'an asked for confirmation.
"I, Yang Qianhuan, have never lied." Bi Wang said indifferently. The teacher gave him the task of secretly watching over Xu Qi'an. Although Bi Wang didn't
know why the teacher gave such an order, he had always been a disciplined disciple.
He was very reliable!
If he promised to watch over Xu Qi'an, he would never do anything extra. The Yunzhou case had nothing to do with him. Whether the case was solved or not was the
governor's business. Later, Xu Qi'an fell into the trap, and he had to come forward to rescue him, exposing
himself.
Get lost, you just lied to me that you didn't peek at the letter... If he wasn't in a bad mood, Xu Qian'an would have hit the king's face on the spot. Liang Youping wasn't kidnapped by Yang Qianhuan? If that's the case, the whole case has to
be re-opened... Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is not Song Changfu, but
someone else, such as Yang Chuannan? The case in Yunzhou was originally just that Zhou Min, the undercover, found out that Yang Chuannan embezzled military supplies and supported bandits... Until I accidentally discovered that the Qi Party colluded with the Wushen Cult, which led to the subsequent
governor entering Yunzhou to investigate the case. Could the truth of this case be like this:
Yang Chuannan found that his plot was exposed by the night watchman, so he asked Meng Wu
to kill Zhou Min to silence him, and cracked the code to find evidence... Then he set up this
self-torture plan, and the turning point was Liang Youping.
He first deliberately let Liang Youping wait for me in the dog meat shop, and then used Li Miaozhen to reveal Liang Youping's identity to attract my attention... Then he had someone send Liang Youping to Governor Zhang, and used this reversal to make us completely believe that Song Changfu was the mastermind behind the scenes, and he escaped calmly? Liang Youping was indeed blocked at the time, and the Sitianjian's qi-watching technique
could not tell whether he was lying.
Xu Qian'an thought for a long time and denied this speculation for the following three
reasons:
First, there is no need to be so troublesome. Making the case so complicated will only expose
more flaws. 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 for the case. As long as Yang Chuannan destroys the evidence, even if everyone thinks he did it, Governor
Zhang can't move a second-rank commander without evidence.
This is the safest way.
Second, the reason why Governor Zhang and others, including Xu Qian'an, believed Liang
Youping's words was mainly because they all believed that the person who helped 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
response was to arrest Song Changfu first and confront Liang Youping. As a result, Song Changfu "committed suicide for fear of crime", and then the Yunzhou army
rebelled. The events were too closely connected, and there was no time to verify the truth of
the case.
It was not until Yang Qianhuan appeared that everyone suddenly realized that the sorcerer
was Yang Qianhuan, which was reasonable.
So Liang Youping's "falling into the trap" had a reasonable explanation.
However, after Yang Qianhuan helped Jiang Luzhong kill the dream witch, he left immediately, and subsequent verification could not be carried out. Xu Qian'an listed this as a reason because Yang Chuannan could not have known that Yang
Qianhuan came to Yunzhou. Then this strangely appearing sorcerer is an inexplicable doubt in
the minds of Governor Zhang and others.
Although he can use the subsequent rebellion to wipe out Governor Zhang, but since he can
wipe out Governor Zhang and others, why is it so fancy? On the contrary, the statement of the dream witch is reasonable. The reason why he forbeared
was that he wanted to push Yang Chuannan to take the blame until the matter was exposed,
and then he had to implement the final plan - killing to silence him. Third, if Yang Chuannan was the mastermind behind the scenes, the group of rebels who
followed him to rebel would have betrayed him long ago. Those rebels in the Yunzhou officialdom, would they not know which boss they were following?
This is a rebellion, not a gangster.
"The mastermind behind this is undoubtedly Song Changfu, but what about that sorcerer who
appeared out of nowhere?"
"Can a wild sorcerer reach this level? You know, the sorcerer system has only been around for
about 600 years, unlike the martial artists and other systems, which have existed for a long
time and have a large number of wild practitioners."
"Even in the Confucian system, which has been passed down from generation to generation,
the control of the practice method is still very strict. Only the martial artists without fathers
(beyond the grade) can flourish everywhere. This is another reason why the major systems
look down on martial artists."
"Also, why did that unknown sorcerer help me? What is his purpose?" Xu Qian'an suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the sorcerer in the tax silver case, the
sorcerer who refined the fake silver and the sorcerer in the Yunzhou case, could they be the same person, or the same force?
If so, the option of helping me can be ruled out... These bastards almost caused me to be
exiled thousands of miles away and my second uncle to be executed... Xu Qian'an pinched his
eyebrows with a headache.
The Astronomical Bureau is not that simple. "Ahem..." Xu Qian'an coughed: "I have something to tell Senior Brother Yang."
"Speak."
Xu Qian'an told Yang Qianhuan the existence of the nameless sorcerer, and then asked: "Does
our Astronomical Bureau hide any secrets?"
"Our Astronomical Bureau?" Yang Qianhuan asked back with his back to him.
"Anyway, Miss Caiwei will marry me sooner or later."
"Heh." Yang Qianhuan sneered, and then said in a serious tone: "The Astronomical Bureau
does have some secrets. For example, the teacher never talks about the master's ancestors,
but I know in my heart that the teacher once killed the master." Killing the master... Xu Qian'an reviewed the previous article and remembered the relevant
information about the first generation of supervisors in the investigation of the Sangpo case. The first generation of supervisors supported the old royal family five hundred years ago. The original Pinghai King, after the later Emperor Wuzong usurped the throne, the supervisor
became the current supervisor.
Information about the first generation of supervisors was erased from history. It was wiped clean. Even Princess Huaiqing, a female academic master who could study
history, could not find any information. It was only through the teachings of Buddhism 500
years ago that a breakthrough was made.
It turned out that the Supervisor really killed his master. It was just a guess at the beginning,
but now it is confirmed...Xu Qiyan said: "Brother Yang, do you mean that the sorcerer who
appeared in Yunzhou is related to the first generation of Supervisor?" Yang Qianhuan shook his head: "I don't know this, don't ask so many questions, you don't
understand the sorcerer system, even a rare man like me in the world, I don't know what the
first and second grade sorcerers are called."
Xu Qiyan is no longer a newbie now. Generally speaking, this situation means that knowing
the information of the first and second grades can know many secrets of the sorcerer system,
and this secret cannot be known to outsiders.
"Then do you know what grade of sorcerers who can shield their breath is? Brother Yang, can
you do it?" Xu Qiyan tried unwillingly.
"I can tell you this," Yang Qianhuan said, "If you want to block destiny, any normal sorcerer
can do it. It's not difficult. To block destiny for others, you must be at least rank 6.
"But if it's true as you said, that Liang Youping can block the divination and curse of the fourth-rank dream witch. Only one rank of sorcerer can do it. What Liang Youping was blocked
from was not destiny, but fate, which is the secret of heaven." After a pause, he said, "Third-rank sorcerer, the master of secrets of heaven."
.... Third grade?! The sorcerer in the Yunzhou case was a third grade?! Xu Qi'an was stunned for
a moment, and felt that his brain was not enough.
The Yunzhou case actually involved a third grade sorcerer! If this is the case, Yang Qianhuan, a fourth grade array master, certainly can't do it. Damn it, if
I knew such important information earlier, I... I would pretend to know nothing.
Xu Qi'an thought to himself that even if he saw through the plan of a third grade sorcerer, he
couldn't tell it.
This is not cowardice, it is the thinking mode of adults.
Give each other face.
"Remember to keep it secret and don't spread it, especially the matter of the teacher killing
the teacher." Yang Qianhuan paused and added:
"I'm not afraid of the teacher, I just think that he is old and can't lose his integrity in his later
years. I have to leave him some dignity as a human being."
The more you explain, the more guilty you seem... How dare I say anything? The Supervisor
can kill me with one finger... Xu Qiyan nodded and agreed: "I also think that the Supervisor
should be given some respect."
Yang Qianhuan smiled and said: "You are indeed an interesting man, just like me."
The history of the Si Tian Jian is not long, and many things are actually easy to check. Unlike
the Taoist Master and the Confucian Saint, the latter are figures from thousands of years ago,
and the former are simply out of historical records.
Xu Qiyan plans to secretly check the Si Tian Jian after returning to Beijing, and check Su Su's
family affairs by the way. It is definitely not because he is greedy for her body, she has no
body.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Xu Qiyan's stomach 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 Qian'an suddenly froze. Yes, how could he explain his resurrection from the dead?
The big guys in the capital are not easy to fool, and he is no longer the little fast hand in
Changle County. Oh, he is still a little fast hand this year.
He is the little fast hand back then.
Xu Qian'an lay back in the coffin silently: "I won't show up for now. I will ask my father's
opinion when I get to the capital. Senior Brother Yang, I'll trouble you with the food." Yang Qianhuan nodded, indicating that it was no problem, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't
you lose both your parents when you were young and be raised by your second uncle?"
"In fact, I am Wei Yuan's illegitimate son."
"What?! "Yang Qianhuan was shocked. Xu Qian'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 bronze gongs and knocked on the door of
Xu Mansion.
In fact, the side door was already open, but with his status as Jinluo, he naturally had to go through the middle door.
The doorman Lao Zhang opened the middle door and saw three night watchmen. He hurriedly S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
bowed his head and said, "My lords, what can I do for you?" Because Dalang was a night watchman, he had a certain understanding of the rank and
uniforms of the night watchmen.
This female night watchman had a golden bronze gong embroidered on her chest. At first
glance, her status was higher than Dalang's.
At this time, the sky had just dawned. Nangong Qianrou glanced at Lao Zhang, looked into the
mansion, and said, "Is Xu Pingzhi, the captain of the Imperial Sword Guard, in the mansion?"
He was ordered by his adoptive father to give Xu Qi'an Song a pension of three hundred taels
of silver.
The value of a copper gong is just that much, and rules are rules. But Nangong Qianrou knew that the benefits that the Xu family could get in the future would
be absolutely immeasurable. For example, the official position of the centurion of the
Imperial Sword Guard could be promoted.
The scholar from Yunlu Academy who was about to participate in the Spring Examination
would not be sent to a remote county in the future.
"Yes, yes, the master and the lady are having dinner in the back hall. My lord, please go to the
front hall to eat first, and I will go to call the master."
The doorman, Lao Zhang, respectfully led the three night watchmen into the front hall and
ordered the servants to serve hot tea.
The two copper gongs thanked politely and were very friendly.
Nangong Qianrou did not take the tea and said, "No need to waste time, take me there."
ps: In the last chapter, I wrote about five coffins. Some readers didn't understand. Let me
explain here: there was a mistake in the previous chapter. Five people died, and there was also
a minor character Tongluo who was overlooked by me, so in the end, five coffins were sent
back.
