Chapter 129
129 The sealed artifact under sang Bo (2)
“Wait … Supervisor?” Xu Qian’s heart trembled, and his breathing quickened.
He thought of something. The duty of a supervisor was to stay in the capital and be the protector of Da Feng. At the very least, this was the case for the current head Warden.
Then, if the Wu Zong wanted to usurp the throne, he would have to go through the supervisor.
A bold guess formed in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
“Caiwei, is our master the first supervisor?” Xu Qi ‘an controlled herself, not letting her voice tremble.
“No, my master is the second generation supervisor.” Chu Caiwei’s answer made Xu Qi ‘an’s blood boil.
‘I know who’s sealed under the Sang Bo …’ “How did the first head supervisor die?” Xu Qi ‘an swallowed.
Yan Caiwei shook her head. I don’t know about that. Master never talks about Grandmaster’s past.
It was the first director, the one sealed under sang Bo was the first director!
Xu Qi ‘an trembled at this thought.
No wonder this secret was only known to Emperor Yuan jing, no wonder the supervisor fell sick, no wonder the monster race in the North wanted to plot this good show.
If the first generation supervisor were to break free, the capital would be in chaos … No, the first director had already escaped.
At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an actually thought of escaping the capital.
escape, hurry up and escape … Bring uncle and aunt along … “When the first-generation supervisor escapes, it’ll definitely cause a bloodbath. That’s a first-rank, and the entire capital will become a battlefield …”
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an gave up on the idea of running away.
Emperor Yuan jing wanted him to atone for his crimes, so Wei Yuan had the responsibility to keep an eye on him. If he ran away, he would implicate Wei Yuan.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
Xu Qi ‘an could run away, but the people of the capital could not. If a battle between rank one experts really happened in the capital, how many people would die?
It was all human lives.
Emperor Yuan jing is an old bastard. He’s in the palace and is protected by many experts. But what about the ordinary people in the city? ”
“I can’t meddle in the grudges between rank one experts … Leak it out, leak it out, there’ll naturally be a tall one to cover it. ”
He immediately made a decision!
If he couldn’t make up his mind, he would look for Wei Yuan.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, Wei Yuan’s reputation as a strategist did give her a sense of security.
If Wei Yuan was a mediocre officer, Xu Qi ‘an would have to go to the Directorate of Celestials to find the supervisor.
At that moment, an official came in and was overjoyed to see Xu Qi ‘an. “I’ve been looking for Lord Xu for a while. Lord Wei is looking for you.”
What a coincidence, I also want to look for him … Xu Qi ‘an bade farewell to Chu Caiwei and followed the clerk to the noble spirit building.
They entered the tallest building of the Yamen and came to the seventh floor. Xu Qi ‘an saw Wei Yuan, who was dressed in green and had white hair on his temples.
And the two golden gongs.
“The case is progressing well, but the clues are broken again. The Imperial court has already issued an arrest warrant for Zhou chixiong, but it’s unrealistic to find him in half a month.” Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said in a gentle tone, ”
“What do you plan to do next?”
Xu Qi ‘an stood in front of the desk, thought for a while, and said frankly, “”I’m guessing that there’s someone else behind Zhou chixiong, but I don’t have any clues.”
This case was more complicated and troublesome than the tax and silver case. Of course, it was also because he was not the organizer of the tax silver case. The main task was to find loopholes and provide ideas, while the other aspects were handled by the night watchman and the magistrate.
Although the clues had been cut off, Xu Qi ‘an had a general direction for the follow-up investigation:First, he had to start with the Dharma artifact that could block the aura-observing technique.
Two, they had to have the means and ability to smuggle the gunpowder into the Sang BO list for investigation.
The second one was bound to take a lot of effort, and there might not be a result.
“Lord Wei …” “What if I still can’t find out the truth after half a month?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“When the time comes, I’ll arrange for you to fake your death and escape. You can go to Jianghu and be a spy for the night watchman.” Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said, ”
“The Yamen’s intelligence network is spread throughout the thirteen states, as well as all the major forces of the pugilistic world. It was impossible to do so without secretly keeping spies.
“Your personality is not suitable for politics. The martial world is your world. In fact, if it wasn’t for the Sang Bo case, you would have left Beijing under my arrangement.”
To the martial world … Xu Qi ‘an thought in a daze.
“Do you feel aggrieved to be a knife in this Lord’s hand, a knife that can’t see the light?” Wei Yuan laughed, like a gentle and cheerful teacher, ”
“Your personality is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and it’s a little extreme. I admire you for being like this, but I don’t like you.
“I’m well aware of the many drawbacks of the night watchman’s Yamen, but this is human nature, where light and darkness intertwine. How many people like Li Yuchun were there? If the night watchmen were all people like Li Yuchun, they wouldn’t be able to suppress all the civil and military officials in the court.”
Xu Qi ‘an frowned. I understand this logic. That’s why human nature needs to be struck and deterred from time to time. Only then can the government be clean. Isn’t Lord Wei being too indulgent?”
“It also depends on the timing.” Wei Yuan wasn’t angry and explained in a friendly manner, “”Dafeng’s bureaucratic atmosphere is corrupt and the decline has already been formed. If we want to change this atmosphere, we have to live in harmony and then break it one by one. When there are no obstacles in front of you, it’s time for you to display your ambitions.”
“In the officialdom, you are bound by the rules and have no choice but to live in harmony with the world. Otherwise, he would only get into trouble again and again. Or perhaps, the edges and corners had been polished, losing the arrogance of a warrior. No matter how one looked at it, it was not worth it. But once you enter the pugilistic world, you have no more worries.”
What Wei Yuan meant was that when he defeated his political enemies in the future and there were no more obstacles in his way, he would be able to deal with this foul atmosphere … Xu Qi ‘an thought about it and felt that it made sense.
“In the officialdom, you are bound by the rules and have no choice but to live in harmony with the world. Otherwise, he would only get into trouble again and again. Or perhaps, the edges and corners had been polished, losing the arrogance of a warrior. No matter how one looked at it, it was not worth it. But once you enter the pugilistic world, you have no more worries.” Wei Yuan said, ”
“Whoever provokes you, blocks you, or is an eyesore, just use your blade to cut them down. Do it according to your heart, and don’t worry about rules and laws. This was the so-called breaking restrictions with force.
“Many martial artists lost their minds in the process and became cold-blooded executioners. This is something you need to take note of.”
“I don’t want to go to the underworld yet. I want to try my best,” Xu Qi ‘an said after a long time.
He didn’t miss power, but his family. He missed his uncle, aunt, Erlang, and his sister.
This was like when he was a social animal in his previous life, and the boss said, ” I’m sending you to another province to expand your market. You’ll be overseas for a long time.
You said,”I don’t want to go.”
The boss said,”no, you want to.”
Fortunately, Wei Yuan wasn’t a stingy boss, so he didn’t force her. He smiled and said, “”If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
‘No, I have something …’ Xu Qi ‘an cupped his fists and said in a deep voice,”Wei Gongping, please step back. I have something important to report.”
You want to expel us again?
Nangong qianrou and Yang Yan looked at Xu Qi ‘an with a blank expression.
[ PS: see you in this chapter for typos. Also, I’m going to work tomorrow, so I’m done updating. ] I’ve taken a look. It’s been six days since it was uploaded, and it has released 67000 words.
Not bad, not bad.
If it was a normal update, it would be two chapters a day, with each chapter at a minimum of 3000 words. His daily update was about 7000-8000.
This is my limit. This stupid book of mine has to think about the case, set up clues, foreshadow, and even consider it!
It really hurt his brain, and he couldn’t release as many chapters as a routine. I hope everyone can understand. However, according to the current market trend, the world will be dominated by online novels in the future. By then, I might be able to release a lot of new chapters. For example, a nephew washing his aunt’s feet, or a night watchman going home to watch his sister sleep in the doghouse!
