Chapter 232
232 Number four, I’ve deduced number three’s true identity _1
[ two: the provincial governor’s team arrived in Yunzhou today. I want to know more about Jiang Luzhong, his ” intent, ” his character, his weaknesses, and so on. ]
What did he mean … Xu Qi ‘an was shocked. DID number two think of old Jiang as an imaginary enemy? No, it was a real enemy, so he began to gather information and prepare for battle?
Let’s not talk about the fact that old Jiang and I have a good relationship. Even if we don’t, I can’t tell you his weakness. After all, I’m also in the Imperial inspector’s team.
[ three: I’m sorry, I can’t reveal any information about the provincial governor team to you. ]
After Xu Qi ‘an replied, his thoughts wandered and he thought of more things.Number two was gathering information about Jiang Lu. It was obvious that he was preparing for a possible conflict in the future.
Was this number two’s own decision, or did she get yang Chuannan’s support?
If it was the latter, it meant that once the matter was exposed, yang Chuannan would likely take extreme measures.
No. 2 was speechless for a moment, and the chat group was frozen.
In this stiff and awkward atmosphere, the former scholar, now swordsman No. 4, appeared, ”
[ number two, yang Chuannan is suspected of colluding with mountain bandits to transport military supplies. This is equivalent to rebellion. Number three is a scholar, why would he help you? [ as scholars, we are clear about the right and wrong, the small and righteous. ]
That’s right, scholars of my generation have such lofty aspirations … Xu Qi ‘an nodded hard, deeply in agreement.
[ 2: I’m sorry, I was rude. I don’t have any ill intentions towards the patrol team. ]
[ 3: but when you asked this question, you were already prepared for battle. En, number two, I know that you have a deep prejudice against the Imperial court, but you are too emotional when doing things. [ whether yang Chuannan is innocent or not, we’ll only know after an investigation. ]
[ 5: that’s right. I also think that number 2 is too extreme. From what you guys were talking about, the Imperial inspector’s team has just arrived in Yunzhou. [ they haven’t even started investigating and you’re already thinking of beating them up. ]
… Number five, you’re the one who’s least qualified to say this! Everyone ridiculed in their hearts.
No. 2 didn’t say anything else. She seemed to be a little angry because the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were all against her and didn’t support her. Even No. 3, who she had always had a good impression of, had made his attitude very obvious.
Xu Qi ‘an could almost confirm that the soldier’s wife was number two. The handsome and beautiful oval face of the soldier flashed in his mind.
He sighed and entered the information: [ Jiang Luzhong is a fourth-grade golden gong. He’s good at fist intent. As for his personality, he doesn’t have much of a characteristic, so he doesn’t have any obvious flaws. ]
This information was very shallow and did not involve any confidential information.
There were not many flaws in his personality. Among the Jingong that Xu Qi ‘an knew, there was the gentle Nangong qianrou, the expressionless Yang Yan, the cold and sharp Zhang Kaitai … Compared to these people, Jiang Luzhong’s personality was more moderate, and he had no obvious characteristics.
But it also meant that he didn’t have any major flaws.
[2: thank you. Don’t worry, I won’t act rashly, and I won’t hurt the Imperial inspector for no reason. ‘Hmm …’ [I have one more question. I want to know about a person named Xu Qi ‘an. Number three, you mentioned this person before.]
You even want to find out about me? Are you trying to hit me? Xu Qi ‘an became alert and didn’t answer immediately.
Just as he was about to refuse, number one, who had been silently peeking at the screen, suddenly appeared.[ I can give you all the information about this person, but you have to make an equivalent exchange. ]
The sudden backstab …
Wait, did you get my permission to sell my information? ‘Did I agree to it? you can just sell it openly …’ Xu Qi ‘an’s fingers touched the mirror, but he retracted them.
What to do? How could he stop it?
Would he (she) buy it if she stopped number one? number one liked to peek at the screen and was more mysterious. Although she had locked onto a general range, it still included many, many people.
And he couldn’t deal with any of them.
Moreover, what reason could he use to stop them? What does Xu Qi ‘an’s matter have to do with my number three? why should I stop him?
Unless he revealed his identity, but … ‘I praised Gong Xu Qi’ an so much before, but now I’ve been exposed …’ I will be so embarrassed that I will explode on the spot.
After thinking about it, Xu Qi ‘an decided to wait and see. He wanted to see what number one would say first, and then see number two’s attitude.
If number 2 only gave him a simple understanding, or number 1 only revealed some superficial information, then he would ignore them.
[ 2: what do you want? ]
[ 1. You can owe me. ]
[ 2: no problem, please speak. [ I’ll judge its value based on the information you’ve revealed. ]
[ one: Xu Qi ‘an was originally a fast hand in the Changle County government of the capital’s Guo County. His position was low and he had no special characteristics. Until three months ago, when his uncle accidentally lost the tax silver while escorting it and was sentenced to beheading. The emperor’s anger had not subsided, and he had banished the three Xu families to the border.
but no one expected that the case would be solved three days after the tax and silver case. Xu Qi ‘an was acquitted.
Upon hearing this, barbaric girl No. 5 from the southern border couldn’t help but sigh, “[ I’m so lucky. ]
As soon as she finished speaking, number one retorted, “[ no, he was the one who solved the tax money case. With just the files, he was in prison and solved the tax money case that gave the Deputy prefect, the Directorate of Celestials, and the night watchman a headache. ]
He was a talent … The members of the heaven and earth Association all had the same thought.
No wonder he was able to sit beside provincial governor Zhang, no wonder he was able to expose the secret technique of the spineless loquat … Even if he was a lecherous man, it was undeniable that he had a strong ability to solve cases … He was here for yang Chuannan and the fact that the night watchman had died in Yunzhou.
Number two was suddenly enlightened.
[ two: I understand. Thank you for your answer. ]
[ one: heh, do you think that’s all his ability is? ]
What did that mean? This Xu Qi ‘an copper Gong had other achievements? The members of the Heaven and Earth Society perked up. After waiting for a moment, they saw another letter from No. 1.
[ the Sang Bo case that kept being mentioned on the 3rd a while ago. Do you know who the head of the Yamen is? It was also this person.
[ before the Sang Bo case, Xu Qi ‘an was involved in a raid on the property of a criminal official. He was dissatisfied with his superiors for humiliating the criminal’s family. In a fit of anger, he cut the silver Gong and almost killed the criminal on the spot. After that, he was imprisoned and sentenced to be cut at the waist. ]
Number four and number five were in awe.
Number two’s eyes brightened slightly. She suddenly had a very good impression of Xu Qi ‘an, who was like a copper Gong. This was an appreciation for his character.
The brave and chivalrous swordswoman, the flying Sparrow, admired the heroes of Jianghu the most. Although Xu Qi ‘an was a Lackey of the Imperial court, this did not reduce his reputation.
Number one continued, [ because of his outstanding ability to solve cases, after the Sang Bo case, His Majesty ordered him to accept the case and allowed him to atone for his crimes by doing good deeds.
[ this person is smart and astute. In the process of investigating the case, he solved the disappearance of Princess Ping Yang. You all know about this. Number three has mentioned it before. However, the Sang Bo case was at a standstill. If you hadn’t found Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the Golden guards, Xu Qi ‘an would have been cut in half.
[ in that case, you’re actually his benefactor. ]
Seeing this, Xu Qi ‘an had to say something. [ yes, but he doesn’t know of your existence. He’s only grateful to me. ]
‘So embarrassing …
Then, number one told him the inside story of how Xu Qi ‘an found out that the Qi party was colluding with the witch God religion to support the mountain bandits of Yunzhou.
This matter was actually caused by him … Number two’s heart was extremely complicated.
When she heard this, she more or less understood the whole story. She also knew that the gong she saw at the banquet was more outstanding than she had expected.
He was a powerful figure that could not be ignored.
[ one: in addition, Xu Qi ‘an is proficient in alchemy and has a close relationship with Bai Yi from the Directorate of Celestials. Before he joined the night watchman, he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice’s prison because of the revenge of Vice Minister Zhou’s son. However, Bai Yi from the Directorate of Celestials and the great Confucians of the Yunlu Academy rescued him and he left the Ministry of Justice safe and sound. ]
He had a close relationship with Bai Yi, the Directorate of Celestials … Number two thought of Xu Qi ‘an’s unique saber and nodded slightly. His guess had been confirmed.
[ four: wait, Yun Lu Academy’s great scholar is helping? ]
‘Number Four’s reaction is too sharp … Xu Qi ‘an swallowed his saliva. He felt a sense of crisis, as if he would soon be exposed by human flesh.
“Number one investigated me … this is understandable. After all, when I was in the capital, because of the Sang Bo case and the tax silver case, I became famous for a time and became the object of attention of the capital’s officials … However, No. 1’s understanding of me was only after I joined the night watchman.”
At the thought of this, Xu Qian’s heart stirred. He probed,[ Assistant Minister Zhou’s son is taking revenge. Yes, if I remember correctly, the mastermind behind the silver Tax case is Assistant Minister Zhou. However, Xu Qi ‘an’s luck was too good. Because young master Zhou had robbed the daughter of the Zhang family, he was dealt with.
Yun Lu Academy, which had planted spies in the night watchmen’s Yamen, should naturally know the truth behind the silver Tax case.
Xu Qi ‘an wanted to test if number one knew that he had framed Zhou Li.
To his disappointment, number one didn’t answer. It seemed that he agreed that ” Xu Qi ‘an ” was very lucky.
Xu Qi ‘an’s cousin was a student of Yun Lu Academy and had passed the Imperial examinations? Xu Qi ‘an had no choice but to take over the Sang Bo case in order to atone for his crimes. During that period of time, number three was very concerned about the Sang Bo case … In the end, he didn’t even hesitate to spend several hundred taels of silver to request number two to escort Zhou chixiong into the capital and hand him over to Yun Lu Academy … What was the relationship between No. 3 and Xu Qi ‘an?
[ 1. There were two reasons why Yun Lu Academy’s great scholar saved him:First, this person had written a poem and gifted it to layman Zi Yang. Two, his younger cousin is a student of Yun Lu Academy and has already passed the imperial examination. ]
Xu Qi ‘an’s cousin was a student of Yun Lu Academy and had passed the Imperial examinations? Xu Qi ‘an had no choice but to take over the Sang Bo case in order to atone for his crimes. During that period of time, number three was very concerned about the Sang Bo case … In the end, he didn’t even hesitate to spend several hundred taels of silver to request number two to escort Zhou chixiong into the capital and hand him over to Yun Lu Academy … What was the relationship between No. 3 and Xu Qi ‘an? And what was his relationship with his cousin?
Number Four’s spirit was lifted as he felt that he had found a bright spot. He was excited by this discovery and actively used his brain to make other connections.
Back then, in the Sang Bo case, number three had very quickly obtained first-hand information … During the ancestral worship, the night watchman was standing guard near the Mulberry Lake … Yun Lu Academy wanted to plant a spy in the night watchman’s office. If this spy was the family of a student from the Academy, then their trust would be guaranteed …
He got it. Number three was that cousin, Xu Qi ‘an’s cousin!
Number four couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud. This way, he wouldn’t have to search for a needle in a haystack when he went to the capital in spring. He could go to see number three with a clear goal.
That cousin!
