Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 156

156 King Yu (1)

Xu Qi ‘an followed the Taoist child through the front hall, the square, the attics and gardens, and finally came to the deepest part of the spirit Treasure Temple.

This was a quiet little garden. The flowers, plants, and trees had long since withered. There were rockery, pavilions, and a Blue Pond.

A Daoist nun with devastatingly beautiful looks sat cross-legged on the pool. She was wearing a Taiji robe and a Lotus crown on her head. There was a bright red cinnabar between her eyebrows. She was both beautiful and charming.

!!
Her face was plain and white, like an ice crystal sculpture without any flaws. The line of her nose was straight and beautiful, and her lips were full and moist. When she closed her eyes, her intertwined eyelashes were as thick as a brush.

Xu Qi ‘an had been staring at her since she entered the park. She looked at her as she walked, but she could not tell her age.

She felt like a young woman who had just turned 30, but also like a beautiful woman who was so mature that honey was dripping out of her. If you looked closely, you could see a charm that was a mix of innocence and flirtatiousness.

I actually have a feeling that. have to find a way to marry this woman. Have I not been close to women for too long, or does the human sect have a special cultivation method … Charm?”

Xu Qi ‘an’s thoughts flickered, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Did Golden Lotus ask you to come find me?” Luo Yuheng opened his beautiful eyes. The ratio of his pupils to the whites of his eyes was just right. He had a pair of very delicate eyes.

that’s right. Golden Lotus Daoist’s yin spirit was severely injured, and his physical body was injured as well. He asked me to come here and ask for an energy gathering pill.

Normally, Xu Qi ‘an would say, ” please give me two pills, ” and then take the commission and buy one for himself.

However, he was not familiar with Luo Yuheng, the chief Daoist of the human sect. In order to repay the Golden Lotus Daoist priest for saving his life, he had to speak the truth.

In front of such a Big Shot, one must not feel good about themselves and highlight their personality. That would only cause trouble.

“You’re a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. What Earth Book number do you have?” Luo Yuheng’s voice was very nice. It was magnetic and made Xu Qi ‘an think of the voice actors in her previous life.

“Number three.” Xu Qi ‘an replied.

Luo Yuheng nodded, his beautiful eyes fixed on her, and he remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she let out a soft ‘huh’, and a look of confusion flashed across her face.

“Your fate is very strange … Tell me your birth characters.” The Daoist nun asked.

A breeze blew, and the lower hem of the Daoist robe hanging on the water fluttered. From Xu Qi ‘an’s angle, she could vaguely see the curve of her full buttocks.

She can also see through my abnormality? Xu Qi ‘an immediately reported her birth characters.

Luo Yuheng’s slender Jade-like hands stretched out of his sleeves, and his crystal-like fingers began to move. After calculating for a moment, his shapely brows furrowed, as if he had encountered an inexplicable problem.

Xu Qi ‘an was a little nervous. She asked expectantly, “”State preceptor, how is it?”

“Ennea monkey!” She said.

Ennea monkey? She was referring to the image of my birth characters, just like the horoscope in my previous life … Xu Qi ‘an found that the evil thoughts in her heart were stirring.

This woman always makes me want to discuss gender issues with her … This definitely isn’t my problem, but her corrupting my soul … Was it a unique characteristic of the human sect? ‘Hmm, I’ll ask Daoist priest Golden Lotus later.’

Luo Yuheng shook his head and said in a firm voice, “”Nothing special,”

She didn’t want to say anything more. She took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and flicked it with her finger. The porcelain bottle floated in front of Xu Qi ‘an.

“Thank you, state preceptor!” Xu Qi ‘an took the porcelain bottle and bowed in thanks.

‘She can’t see through my exact condition either. She can only vaguely feel it, just like Daoist Golden Lotus …’ Xu Qi ‘an no longer lingered and left.

……

The carriage drove into the Imperial City and stopped at the entrance of the palace. Jiang Luzhong, who was driving the carriage, jumped off and took out a wooden ladder to welcome Wei Yuan.

Other than members of the royal family, officials were not allowed to drive carriages or ride horses in the palace.

Wei Yuan brought Jiang Luzhong into the palace. As they neared the Imperial study, eunuch Liu walked towards them.

“Duke of Wei, you’re finally here.” Eunuch Liu grumbled, ” His Majesty has sent me here to wait for you. Hurry up and go. His Majesty is in a rage in the Royal study.

Wei Yuan nodded his head calmly. His aura was as calm as if the sky was falling. He was not affected by eunuch Liu’s words.

a few old fogeys impeached you in front of His Majesty just now … Ah, do as you see fit. Anyway, it’s better to be careful.”

Eunuch Liu and Wei Yuan were on the same side. Wei Yuan was the spiritual leader of the entire eunuch circle. It was extremely difficult for any court official to plant a spy in the palace, but Wei Yuan could do it easily.

Wei Yuan came to the door of the Imperial study and heard Emperor Yuan jing’s angry voice, “”Trash, all of you are trash. The Sang Bo case hasn’t been solved yet, and the clues you two have are less than a small gong. What’s the use of the court keeping you two? What use do I have for you!”

In the Imperial study, the Minister of Justice, the chief of the Supreme Court, and the magistrate, Chen hanguang, stood side by side in the middle, listening to Emperor Yuan jing’s reprimand with their heads lowered.

Apart from the three of them, the Prime Minister, the ministers of the various departments, and a few other nobles stood on both sides of the hall.

The case of the extermination of the count of Ping Yuan’s residence had spread throughout the court. The nobles fell into an inexplicable panic. They wrote a letter to impeach Wei Yuan and investigate the murderer. While secretly strengthening the guards in the residence.

For a time, everyone was in a state of panic. Some said that the monster race experts had invaded the capital and wantonly killed important officials of the Imperial court, causing chaos in the court.

Some said that Buddhism was causing trouble in the dark with the purpose of preaching in the Central Plains and forcing the great Feng dynasty to submit.

“Your Majesty, why is the supervisor sick at this time?”

“Heh, sick? He’s clearly just standing by.”

why did you let the murderer escape last night? the watchman failed his duty. Your Majesty must punish Wei Yuan severely.

Several ministers advised him one after another.

Wei Yuan entered the Imperial study amidst the discussion.

“Wei Yuan!” As soon as Emperor Yuan jing saw him coming in, he grabbed a stack of wood and threw it at him. As the paper rustled, he shouted angrily, ”

“Three days. If you can’t find the murderer in three days, I’ll fire you.”

Wei Yuan dodged nimbly and picked up the scattered documents on the floor. He sighed, “”Your Majesty, why are you so angry? cultivating the Dao is also cultivating the heart. Don’t mess up your state of mind.”

Emperor Yuan jing snorted.

Your Majesty, the night watchman has allowed the murderer to escape twice in a row. I suspect that Wei Yuan has colluded with an outsider and is harboring evil intentions. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly. the Minister of Justice said in a deep voice.

Emperor Yuan jing didn’t answer. He looked at Chen hanguang, who had his head lowered and was silent. what do you think, magistrate Chen? ”

Although the magistrate was a fourth-ranked official, he was in charge of the 24 counties around the capital. His power was not any weaker than the six ministers.

Chen hanguang was a wily old fox and held onto the idea of not offending either side. He said,”The Sang Bo case is not over yet, and now there’s the case of the extermination of the entire residence of count Ping Yuan. Your Majesty, don’t be angry and calm your heart. I feel that we should listen to what Lord Wei has to say.”

He directly kicked the ball away.

Emperor Yuan jing looked at Wei Yuan coldly.

“Your Majesty, the count of Ping Yuan case and the Sang Bo case are the same case.” Wei Yuan said.

In the Imperial study, everyone’s expression changed slightly, including Emperor Yuan jing.

Wei Yuan ignored everyone’s expressions and looked down at the ground. He said loudly, “”I have already found out who the murderer of the count of Ping Yuan’s case is.”

“Who is it?” Someone subconsciously interrupted. It was the Minister of War, Zhang Feng.

Wei Yuan glanced at him but did not answer. Instead, he said to Emperor yuanjing, “”Your Majesty, please dismiss your men.”

When he said this, Wei Yuan suddenly thought of Xu Qi ‘an.

Emperor yuanjing looked deeply at Wei Yuan, and his sharp eyes swept across the officials. “All ministers, please leave.”

Everyone bowed with strange expressions and left the Imperial study.

Wei Yuan stayed in the study for an hour, and no one knew what he had said to Emperor yuanjing.

….

“Duke of Wei, Duke of Wei …”

Accompanied by eunuch Liu, Wei Yuan stepped out of the Imperial study. He had only taken a few steps when he heard someone calling his name.

Turning his head, he saw the thin Minister of War, Zhang Feng, in a Crimson official robe, walking up to him with a smile.

“Duke of Wei, I wonder who the murderer of the case of the extermination of the entire family of count Ping Yuan is?”

Wei Yuan shook his head. Minister Zhang, this case involves sang Bo. It’s not convenient to disclose this. You’ll know when the truth is out.

He cupped his hands in obeisance and strode away.

Minister Zhang didn’t seem to be angry at being rebuffed. He said with a smile, “”Take care, Duke of Wei.”

After Wei Yuan left, the elders who had been waiting in the Imperial study walked over slowly. eunuch Liu, what did Wei Yuan say to His Majesty? ”

“My Lords, please don’t make things difficult for our family.” Eunuch Liu waved his hands.

“Eunuch Liu, just say whatever you can.” A strong voice was heard. It was the Minister of State.

Eunuch Liu hesitated for a moment before he nodded. He looked at the officials and said in a low voice, ” this case is being handled by Xu Qi ‘an, the Yamen’s gong. Everything Wei Li said was from him.

Xu Qian?

The ministers looked at each other.

…..

As Xu Qi ‘an left Lingbao temple, the state preceptor’s beautiful face flashed in his mind from time to time. He thought to himself, ” women who practice Taoism are so different. She looks like a Jade sculpture, and there are no flaws on her face.

He should at least have a few pimples.

The earth sect’s Dao head was a second-grade, so the human sect’s Dao head should not be too bad … If it was a second stage, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy.

The little mare he was riding clattered along and passed by an Equipment Warehouse. Xu Qi ‘an asked the guard for the location of Prince Yu’s residence.

the investigation of the Sang Bo case needs to be changed. Let’s not investigate the North vanquishing Prince for now. I have a feeling that as long as we investigate the matter of henghui and Princess Pingyang, and find out the grievances between this poor couple and uncle Ping Yuan’s mansion, the Sang Bo case may be solved.

I don’t need half a month. I think it’ll be in the next few days … It might be even faster.

the Golden Lotus Daoist priest will come to see me tonight. I have to remember to ask him about the human sect’s Dao chief. He’s obviously of the kun Dao, but he has a demonic charm.

Xu Qi ‘an squeezed the horse’s belly and urged it to gallop.

Prince Yu’s residence.

Xu Qi ‘an reined in his horse’s reins. Under the Guard’s watchful eyes, he flashed his gold medal and revealed his identity.”I am the official in charge of the Sang Bo case, handpicked by His Majesty. I have something to ask of King Yu. Please help me pass the message.”

When the guard saw the waist token, he put away his irreverent heart and hurriedly entered the mansion.

Not long after, the guard returned and said in a clear voice, “”This Lord, please follow me. Our Wangye wants to see you.”

King Yu’s mansion occupied a very large area, and from the main gate to the front hall, it took a full five minutes to walk.

Xu Qi ‘an met Emperor Yuan jing’s younger brother, the current Prince, in the front hall.

He was a young man with long white hair. His face was pale and he looked sickly. The vertical lines between his eyebrows were deep. He was only in his early forties, but he looked older than Emperor Yuan jing.

He was wearing a purple brocade robe and had pretty good facial features.

“A Gong?” King Yu held a cup of tea in his hand and took a light sip, his voice somewhat lacking in energy.

“When has Imperial brother ever specially permitted a Gong to be the organizer?” he asked in surprise as he put down his teacup.

“I am Xu Qi ‘an. Has Prince Yu never heard of me?” he asked. Xu Qi ‘an thought that the Sang Bo case was the most searched headline news in the capital. Everyone, from the nobles to the officials, should pay attention to it.

And as one of the organizers, the small fries don’t recognize me. As a member of the imperial family, King Yu also doesn’t recognize me?

King Yu nodded his head in realization. I remember now. I’ve heard of it before, but I’ve been away from court Affairs for a long time, so I couldn’t recall it.

It seemed that Princess Ping Yang’s disappearance had a huge impact on him … Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

“Why are you looking for this King?” King Yu waved his hand and ordered the servants to serve tea.
