In the early hours of the morning, in the Yamen of Xiude Fang, Xia Fanxing and Qin Blind were sitting in the waiting room, and Zheng Yanei of Xiude Fang was slowly drinking a cup of hot tea, laughing and talking about some matters with the two of them.

"Zheng Yanei has too many courtesies. Xia Fanxing saw Zheng Yanei making tea for himself, and said hurriedly. And the blind man Qin on the side didn't care too much about Zheng Yanei's continuity, and after drinking a cup of tea, he raised Erlang's legs, and his face was as calm as water.

"Don't say that, the curfew last night was really urgent, and it was too late to report in advance. A misunderstanding is our people's fault!" Although he is the eldest son of Xuanyi Lang from the seventh rank in the court, when facing the two blind Qin, he is polite and has no shelf.

"Hey, these words have been said since we were brought over last night, okay, I know that you Zheng Heng has this heart!" Qin Blind said, his attitude was still relatively casual. Then he lowered his voice again and said, "After that kid finishes fighting, there is a big case to report to you." ”

Last night, to be exact, it should be around the middle of the day. After the three of them were brought back to the yamen by the patrol army in Jingyaomen, Zheng Yanei, who happened to be in the yamen at the time, saw Qin Blind and immediately warmly entertained them. But after all, the three of them violated the curfew issued urgently, and Zheng Yanei couldn't just let them go. Then Huang Gui and the two shopkeepers were also brought over, and some dilapidated people who didn't return home at night were also brought one after another.

Zheng Yanei said that it was best for the three of them to pay some money, and they would be released as a symbolic punishment. But Qin Blind wanted to punish Li He, so he proposed to him that he and Xia Fanxing would lose some money, and Li He, a poor boy, couldn't come up with the money, so he would play a twenty-big board. Although Zheng Yanei was puzzled, of course he did so. Li He escaped death, and the blind man Qin expressed his willingness to help him cover up the theft and find another way for him, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently went to the twenty boards that represented the punishment.

"Hmm, it's really an honor for the hero to come to our yamen to report the case!" Zheng Yanei smiled after hearing this, but he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart - because the judicial system of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that when the case was not directly related to himself, a person with a lower status could not be litigated and a person with a relatively high status was not allowed to litigate. Although Qin Blind is a famous knight who walks the world, it is a pity that he is still clothed. If this "big case" is sued by some big person, Qin Blind is likely to appeal by himself, which is not very good.

"To tell you the truth, Zheng Heng, my report is superficial, and the main purpose is to let you investigate an important matter. Qin Blind pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Qin Daxia, do you want our yamen to try a suspicious case?" Zheng Yanei was a little surprised. Because the law of the Tang Dynasty absolutely forbade appeals and doubts. The plaintiff must state all the necessary matters in the pleadings without doubt.

"I know, I know. But the stakes are really high, and there is no way to solve it with the power of a few rangers. That's why I came to the yamen to help with this. We open the skylight and say something. I also know your prefect and the 10,000-year-old prefect, and now those brothers are still fighting with swords in green shirts outside, and I chose to listen to the words of the two prefects and return to the township to collect protection money for a living, just this point, you don't give me this face?"

Zheng Heng showed a helpless smile on his face, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Qin Daxia, you also know that after Yang Xiang took the throne, these red tapes were managed a lot... Moreover, the public trial of doubtful accusations, several of our yamen in Chang'an are to be implicated... If you have sufficient evidence, it's not too late to come back to the juniors. ”

"Nana, look at you, I haven't even said anything and started to make excuses to shirk!" Qin Blind said dissatisfiedly, "Yang Xiang? Is that Yang Guozhong, the Duke of Weiguo? Does the Prime Minister know how high the taxes have reached this year?

Zheng Yanei covered his face with his hands, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say these words when you go outside! Xianyu Jingzhao Yin once erected a monument for Yang Xiang at the provincial gate, since then, who dares to say that Yang Xiang is not good?"

"It's long time to wake up!" Qin Blind glared at him, "Hmph, last year, Yang Guozhong went to the book to attack Da Shi again, and he recruited strong men, which made the people of other states resentful. Now that the situation is even worse, the management of the Beijing division is not appropriate, and there is a big incident! You yamen don't care about it, you only know how to stick to red tape!"

“... Dare to ask Daxia, did you just say that there was going to be an accident in Chang'an City? How could this be? Is the case you reported so serious?" Although Zheng Yanei was very embarrassed, he also realized the seriousness of this big case when he heard Qin's blind man's serious tone.

"Otherwise, how can it be called a big case?" Qin Blind gave him a blank look, and told Zheng Yanei about the crime and theft organization that Li He said.

Zheng Yanei listened, slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "I said why are so many people who have come to report the case recently...... According to what you mean, these traitors are all an organization, and their leaders still have a lot of status in the capital?"

"Yes... I also want to ask the Yanei, so many people have come to report the case, how many of them can successfully catch the criminal?" Xia Fanxing looked solemn and said.

"It's... To tell the truth, the efficiency of handling cases this year is far lower than that of previous years... Could it be that their organization should cooperate with the outside world and do a good job of the case?" Zheng Yanei thought quickly, and thought of it with the two of them.

"More seriously, their leaders have been preaching to the people below that troubled times are coming. Zheng Yanei, now that the levies and miscellaneous taxes are complicated, that person has a lot of power to do what he likes, and there are even more people outside the capital who are not well fed and clothed to respond to him to commit crimes. In this way, these people are more dangerous than just committing adultery. Qin Blind knocked on the teacup and said meaningfully.

"And with all due respect, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong should understand very well that the situation in the north is no longer optimistic. Xia Fanxing said, his expression was abnormal, as if he had been fighting for a long time before he was going to say this.

Qin Blind turned his head, and at the position of his eyes, a layer of white eyes seemed to be staring at Xia Fanxing in surprise. When Zheng Yanei heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, "North? What do you mean by this, Dao Chief? The glory of my Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan is still continuing, and now there are at most some small problems that need to be solved, listening to the tone of the Dao Chief, why do you feel that the city wall has fallen?"

Xia Fanxing took a deep breath and said, "An Lushan." ”

"An Lushan, the Three Towns Festival, and Lord An Lushan, ...... Could it be that Fan Yang's spiritual vein is about the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony? Are the rumors from the outside world true?" Zheng Yanei said excitedly. Xia Fanxing didn't expect that when the situation outside was already on the line, after his sect had endured a month of indiscriminate bombardment, the authorities in Chang'an City were still suspicious of the matter of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

But he didn't talk about this topic anymore, after all, he was a disciple of Tu Feng Sect, and being able to say those three words had already given Zheng Yanei or the Tang Dynasty a lot of face.

"Don't talk about this topic anymore, Yanai will tell Lao Qin, do you really care about such a big case?" Seeing that the situation was not good, the blind man Qin immediately opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

Zheng Yanei also understood that he had lost his temper, coughed lightly, hesitated, and said with apologies in his voice: "What the two of you said is indeed a big case... However, Zheng had the courage to ask, how did Daxia and Dao Chang know about this organization? This is a major suspicion, and I hope there is a reasonable explanation, otherwise it would be almost impossible to file a case for investigation..."

For the sake of Jade Zhai's reputation and promise to Li He, Qin Blind did not mention that these words were said to him by Li He when he narrated.

"Haha! Is Yanai suspicious of us?" said the blind man Qin suddenly laughed.

"With all due respect... Well, of course I don't doubt the heroes, but the adults above will definitely doubt it... This suspicion is something we can't avoid if we want to file a case!"

"Qin Daxia, what he said makes sense. Xia Fanxing cupped his chin, pondered for a while, and said seriously. However, Qin Blind Man already had a very angry look on his face, so Xia Fanxing didn't wait for him to have a seizure, so he took the lead and said, "But if we find evidence to prove the existence of that organization, as well as our own innocence, then can you file a case to investigate it?"

"Daoist don't worry, if it is really like what you said, Zheng and the Yamen of Chang'an will do their best to find out who dares to instigate others to be traitors at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and who dares to make a big statement in front of everyone!"

"Hero, it's okay. Didn't that kid say that some of the people he met before stayed in Chang'an City and Andingfang? We can go find them and collect some evidence. This group has penetrated deeply among the people, and even if it only grasps a little trick, it will definitely be able to stir up a thousand waves with one stone. What is really difficult to deal with is actually the people on their heads, who have the heart of rebellion and are in high positions, and I don't know who has such great appeal, which is the primary goal of the government to intervene in the investigation. Let's go and search for some evidence first, and it will be convenient for the yamen to file a case here!" Xia Fanxing quickly transmitted a message to Qin Blind, reminding him not to be angry about this.

"Alas... Forget it, you know in your own heart whether Lao Tzu is suspicious or not. Qin Blind sighed, in order to find out the thieves in Chang'an City, this breath was over.

"Of course, of course, of course, the junior knows that the hero must be innocent, and I don't need to know how you learned about these things. However, the above process and the questions of adults should be taken into account... If the hero and the Taoist can provide some evidence first, then they will definitely be able to..."

Qin Blind raised his hand and stopped Zheng Heng's words, "Okay, thank you Zheng Yanei for your hospitality." I paid for that little fat man and the money he had to pay for being caught with him. Also, after Li He's kid finished beating the stick, he asked him to come directly to the restaurant in Fangxi to find us. Say goodbye first!"

"Okay, Daxia and Dao Chang are going well!" Zheng Heng temporarily arranged such a tricky case, and before he made the blind Qin who had always had a big temper angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his fists.

"Xia Fanxing, why did you say An Lushan to Zheng Heng?"

"Uh... I originally thought that it was now Sima Zhao's heart and a well-known situation. Unexpectedly, in Chang'an City, the subjects at the feet of the Son of Heaven were still suspicious of the coming wind and rain. I thought everyone knew that, so I said that. However, Qin Daxia, why are you willing to take me with you while watching my sect help An Lushan, and on the other hand, you are so concerned about this case, and you don't want to let the thieves in the court ruin the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"

"What your sect wants to do, first, it can't be said that it has much to do with one of your children, and second, it's not something that a blind mortal like me can interfere with. On the other hand, I am also in my forties, and as a chivalrous man, I don't want to take care of the affairs of the court and the central government anymore, but how despicable are the methods of the people who manipulate behind the scenes, inciting the people's anger and doing despicable things, lest the world be chaotic. It's even worse than An Lushan's kind of flame-clinging person, how can you tolerate him to cause trouble in the world?"
