Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 137

137 The forces involved in the Sang Bo case (1)

The second Princess lived in “shaoyin Palace,” which was a spacious and elegant villa.

The guard leader led Xu Qi ‘an over the high threshold and around the screen wall. In front of them was a courtyard full of the innocence of young girls.

There was a swing hanging on the grapevine rack, a pile of broken mud puppets in the corner, and a pile of strange things could be vaguely seen in the pavilion on the east side.

!!
At the edge of the flower garden on the west side, the second Princess of Lin an brought a few servant girls to play embroidered balls. In the female’s noisy chattering, sometimes it was mixed with the silver bell-like laughter of the princess of Lin an.

“Your Highness, I’ve brought Xu Qi ‘an.” The guard Captain cupped his fists from a distance and said loudly.

The second Princess stepped on the silk ball and turned around. She stared at Xu Qi ‘an for a few seconds, raised the corner of her mouth, and kicked the silk ball away.

Bang! Bang!

The embroidered ball flew out and the skirt of the princess of Lin an suddenly exploded into a circle, like a blooming flower.

Xu Qian, who had been intimidated by the horse’s might, felt a chill in his heart. He was about to Dodge, but he suddenly held back. The silk ball missed and bounced into the distance.

“…. I’ll spare you this time.” The second Princess tried to save her dignity by walking to the front hall. Xu Qi ‘an, come in with me. The rest of you wait outside.

In the Grand and luxurious front hall, the second Princess sat on a big chair, and Xu Qi ‘an stood in the middle. The two of them silently examined each other.

The second Princess tried to force Xu Qi ‘an to give in by using her identity as the princess and her gaze.

She knew that when huaiqing was young, there was a period of time when he had to tame an Eagle. An Eagle’s eyes were the sharpest, like a knife. Ordinary people could not look at it for a long time, so in the process of taming an Eagle, one had to use a sharper and calmer gaze to suppress it.

Once the Eagle trainer looked away, he would lose the qualification to be the Eagle’s master.

The purpose of huaiqing’s Eagle training was to train his sharp eyes. The second Princess still did not dare to look huaiqing in the eye for a long time.

It was a pity that her pair of watery peach blossom eyes really didn’t have any killing power. When she stared straight at people, there was a kind of desire to say something but not to say it.

Xu Qi ‘an sized up the second Princess. Her face was round and similar to Chu Caiwei’s, but the latter was sweet and had big, two-dimensional eyes.

The second Princess, on the other hand, was a young, mature-looking beauty. Her peach-shaped eyes were filled with love for everyone.

“Xu Qi ‘an, I heard that you are huaiqing’s loyal dog.” The second Princess sneered when she saw that her fierce gaze was unable to intimidate Xu Qi ‘an, and she used words to attack him.

“Yes, I’m called eighth Duke.” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely.

“What’s the eighth Duke?”

“It’s a loyal dog,”

“Are you toying with bengong?” The princess of Lin an raised her eyebrows.

“I don’t dare to.” Xu Qi ‘an said in a neutral tone.

Princess Lin an gave a tender Humph and said,”bengong will give you a chance, immediately throw yourself to me and get rid of that woman huaiqing.” Or else …”

Seek refuge with you? I’m already hugging the eldest princess’s legs, Wei Yuan’s legs. If I go to you … Wouldn’t I be a slave to the three families?

Xu Qi ‘an shook his head. I’m sorry. I’ve already sworn to be your slave. I’ll do anything for you.

“Then I want you to be my slave,” the second Princess said immediately.

Then are you going to give me grass? Xu Qi ‘an understood the situation. The second Princess saw that he was appreciated by the eldest Princess and was the eldest princess’s Lackey. He was handsome, could write poems, and had a good voice. She was jealous and wanted to take him away from the eldest Princess.

“Second Princess, please don’t force me.” Xu Qi ‘an refused sternly. People had to follow the spirit of the contract. Since he had agreed to work for the eldest Princess, he could not rely on anyone else.

if you don’t want to, ” the second Princess widened her eyes and sneered, “”I’m going to scream and tell the guards that you’re trying to molest me.”

“I’m willing to do anything for you, second Princess.” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely.

The second Princess was elated. . wise man submits to fate. You are a talent … En, in the future, after noon, you will come here to see bengong and be at bengong’s beck and call.”

“Your Highness, I’m on a mission to investigate the Mulberry case.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

“…. Princess Lin an thought for a while.”Then let’s forget about tomorrow. When bengong wants to order you around, you can come again.”

Xu Qi ‘an understood that this woman was just messing around. She didn’t really want him to do anything. She just wanted to find trouble with the eldest Princess.

The threat just now was not lethal. The reputation of a Princess in exchange for his dog life was a huge loss!

It was precisely because he had understood that he had changed his attitude and agreed to the second princess’s request. He would just treat it as playing with a child and casually deal with it.

“You may leave.” The second Princess was in a good mood because things were going well.

“Yes.”

wait, ” the second Princess called out to him and took off the jade pendant on her waist.”This is a token of mine. You can use it to enter the palace and the guards will not stop you. However, you can only go to my place. You can’t go anywhere else,”

….. So generous? You’re probably a hammer. Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes lit up. She took the jade pendant and put it in her pocket.”From now on, I will be loyal to Your Highness with all my heart.”

The slave of the three families, Xu Qi ‘an, left the Imperial City before dusk and rode back to the watchman’s Yamen.

The duty at the Yamen had already been dismissed, leaving only the night watchmen and officials on duty. It was much colder and quieter than during the day.

As soon as Xu Qi ‘an entered the Yamen, a golden gong with a high nose and a wide forehead came up to him. It was Zhu chengzhu’s father, Zhu Yang.

When enemies met, they didn’t get jealous, but just looked at each other with a dark look.

“Zhu Jinluo, how are your son’s injuries?” Xu Qi ‘an laughed as he took out his waist tag and tied it around his waist confidently.

Zhu Yang’s eyes swept across the Golden Plate. He remained calm and said,”I’m lucky, I won’t die. I’m afraid Lord Xu will have to go first.”

Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and smiled kindly.”I’ll wait for him on the road. We’re acquaintances after all.”

“Investigate the case well.” Zhu Yang stared at him for a few seconds and nodded.

“Have a good trip, Zhu Jinluo.”

When he entered the side hall of spring breeze Hall, he saw that Li Yuchun’s gong and a few constables from the government office were still there.

Li Yuchun heard footsteps and came out of spring breeze Hall. “There are some clues to County Magistrate Zhao’s death. Yes, it might not be the doing of the Taoist sect.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He did not enter the side hall but followed Li Yuchun into spring breeze Hall.

this afternoon, magistrate Chen invited Bai Yi from the Directorate of Celestials to interrogate the prison guards and minor officials on night duty. They confirmed that there was nothing wrong with them and further confirmed that county Magistrate Zhao had indeed died silently in the prison at dawn.

Li Yuchun poured a cup of tea for Xu Qi ‘an, who was both a subordinate and a superior, and said, “”The yin spirit of the Taoist sect can do this and can also bypass the guards and jailers without a sound. However, after checking the information today, I found out that there is another system that can do this.”

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea and listened patiently.

“Magus!” Li Yuchun said.

“A wizard?”

“Have you heard of the witchcraft cult?”

I’ve heard about the witch God from you, boss. He’s an immortal God who’s not of any rank. Is the witch God religion a religion founded by the witch God? ”

yes, ” Li Yuchun replied. the witch God is the God that all the countries in the northeast believe in. The witch God religion has supreme power in the northeast, just like the Buddhism in the Western regions to all the countries.

The Imperial power was Supreme in Da Feng, and the northern tribes were the same.

However, in the Western Region and the northeast, theocracy was Supreme, and the sects were the real rulers.

“Can a wizard be on par with a Taoist in the primordial spirit realm?” Xu Qi ‘an humbly asked for advice.

“No, no system of the primordial spirit domain can compare to the Dao sect.” Li Yuchun shook his head and said, ” but a fourth stage wizard is also known as a dream wizard. They can create dreams and kill people in their dreams.

“70 years ago, the demon clan and the witch God sect had a war over territory. According to the report from the night watchman, two thousand demi-human soldiers had silently died in the camp. There were no wounds on their bodies. All of them fell asleep, but they never woke up again.”

A fourth stage wizard … How did the Magi get involved … This case was too difficult.

The human sect was now the state preceptor of Da Feng, and the head of Dao was the state preceptor. This was already a Supreme honor. What were the benefits of helping North vanquishing Prince to usurp the throne?

It was already impossible for him to advance any further. He had already reached the maximum level.

Therefore, it was more likely that the witchcraft cult was involved. If the dream wizard was the one who killed County Magistrate Zhao, then the power behind the Sang Bo case would be:The mastermind behind the scenes (North-guarding King), the demons of the North, and the witchcraft cult of the northeast!

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea. She could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.

it’s not like we didn’t find anything. At least we can eliminate the human sect for now. There’s been some progress in the case. Xu Qi ‘an said, ”

“Boss, let’s report this to Duke Wei.”

Li Yuchun nodded, looking worried. “I have a feeling that the end of the year Geng is the beginning of the great chaos.”

let’s just solve the case. Don’t eat the earth trench oil and worry about the country. Xu Qi ‘an patted him on the shoulder and left the Yamen.

It was completely dark when she got home. She had been hungry for a day, and her stomach was rumbling. After he finished the food that the cook had heated up and drank the milk that sister lingyue had brought, he returned to the small courtyard and fell asleep.

On the third day, Xu Qi ‘an rushed to the Yamen on a horse just as the sun rose. He happened to see Chu Caiwei, who was wearing a yellow dress, across the street, also riding a horse.

She held the reins in one hand and the oiled paper bag in the other. Half of the white bag was exposed. As the horse jolted, she tried hard to jump out.

“Do you want some?” Yan Caiwei generously handed over a bun and added,”It’s a meat dish.”

Xu Qi ‘an’s heart was touched. It was no less than hearing that Xu lingying only had a bowl of porridge because she was worried about her. This glutton is treating me as one of his own.

Xu Qi ‘an took the bun and put it in his mouth, then threw the reins to the clerk at the door.

“Any clues?” he asked as he walked in while eating.

“I’ve already asked. Senior brother Song Qing said that excluding the magic artifacts in the palace and the Directorate of Celestials, in the capital, only the Buddhist sect has a magic artifact that can block out aura-gazing techniques.” Yes, it’s not the temple of those mortals, it’s the Azure Dragon Temple.”

Azure Dragon Temple?

The inheritance left behind by the pagoda temple … Xu Qi ‘an was both surprised and not surprised.

Sure enough, Buddhism was related to the Sang Bo case.

The Directorate of Celestials, the imperial family, the witchcraft cult, the demons of the North, the North-guarding King, the Buddhist League … Such a small sang Bo case actually involved so many big forces.

[ PS: thank you to the leader of the delicate plum blossom. ]

Thank you for finding the wrong words in this chapter. The previous chapters have been edited. I’ll have to rely on you guys for this chapter. I’ll change it word by word myself. It’s too tiring.

Although I can’t copy the chapter like other authors, I can find other ways to gain wool. Haha, smart as I am.
