After another quarter of an hour, the bell stopped.

Sixteen bells stopped at the same time, and the room suddenly fell silent. The thing is finally gone.

After breakfast, and his spirits were refreshed, He Lingchuan took a toothpick in his mouth and said, "Let's go, eat tea." This time, they went to Xiangfu.

Although Xiang Yan has taken elixir, he is eighty-four years old this year. The elixir is not really an elixir of immortality, he, like other old people, sleeps lightly and gets up early.

The entire Xiang Mansion also woke up with him, and the people were sweeping the courtyard. Xiang Yan himself is feeding two red-billed pearl birds.

Although these two are avian demons, they are smaller than ordinary of their kind. They bounce from leaf to foliage, and their bodies and plumage are very beautiful.

The sun is rising, the heat has not yet caught up, and Xiang Yan is in a very good mood. At this time, someone came to report: "Master, the prince's envoy is here."

With a shake of Iwate, a dozen grains of corn fell to the ground, and sparrows from the treetops flew down to peck at each other.

Why is the prince's envoy here again?

Xiang Yan suddenly didn't want to feed it, so he threw Xiaodou aside and was stunned for a while. "Sir?" The subordinate on the side spoke.

Xiang Yan straightened his clothes at this time, exhaled, and walked towards the main hall.

His servant had invited the envoy to the hall to watch the tea.

The tea in Xiangfu is very good. When He Lingchuan drank one and renewed the second one, he saw the old man coming from behind.

"I'm bothering again, looking at old Mo Wei."

"The envoy is willing to come to enjoy the light, I have a bright wall here, and it is too late to rejoice." Xiang Yan has been an official in the court for decades, and he comes when he opens his mouth against his will, only enthusiastic, and never shows the slightest bluntness, "Have you used or used breakfast?"

He Lingchuan looked at him and said with a smile: "I just ate it, it is the salty porridge you introduced, the heat is just right, it really deserves to be an old shop."

The two exchanged a few words, and He Lingchuan immediately said, "The sky is just right, let's take a walk in the garden?" Xiang Yan is indispensable.

The two walked to the garden, talking as they walked along the way. "I heard that Xiang Lao himself is a Baisha man?"

"That is, I have lived here for decades, and since I was a child, I have been an official in the court, and I have to come back several times a year."

He Lingchuan smiled and asked the point: "Has the Cen family also been in Baisha for many years?"

"Cen family, which Cen family?" There was a thump in the heart of the rock. The envoy is going to provoke the Cen family next, won't he?

"Cen Boqing."

"His family, his family and Lingxu City's Great Si Nong are in-laws!" The implication is that none of the officials and magnates in Baishazhen want to offend his family.

He Lingchuan didn't seem to understand: "Yes, so the Cen family also lives here for a long time?"

"The white sand is beautiful, and Cen Boqing brings his family over every year, that is, the eldest daughter of Bega Dasi Nong. Every time she came here, everyone went to pay a visit, and it was also the time when the Cen family was in full swing. But she didn't come this year."

When Xiang Yan said this, he coughed lightly: "Special Envoy, I heard that there was some misunderstanding between you and the Patrol Envoy?"

The prince's envoy snatched the wanted prisoner in Lingxu City from the patrol envoy! When Xiang Yan heard the news the day before yesterday, he didn't know what to say for a while.

It turned out that after the envoy threw the inspector's face on the ground and stomped on it a few times, he came to him to the old man.

It is a special honor.

He Lingchuan smiled: "There is some misunderstanding, and it will be solved soon."

There is no misunderstanding when the truth of the case is solved, there is only a definite ending.

Xiang Yan couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that you have some misunderstandings with the inspector, Lord Cen, Cen Mansion.... Even when the prince comes, he must pay tribute."

He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "In the list you gave me a few days ago, why is there no Cen Mansion?"

Last time, he came to Xiang Yan and asked how many of the residents in the northwest corner of Baisha were from Lingxu City and had good friends with Zhongsun's family.

Xiang Yan told him about five families, and there was no Cen Mansion among them.

"Although the Cen family and the Zhongsun family are both officials in Lingxu City, they have little to do with each other. In the years since I was transferred to Lingxu City, the two of them had some minor troubles." toward

Yan stroked his long beard, "But I've been back in Chiyan for more than twenty years, and I don't know if the relationship between his two families has improved, and no one in this city usually mentions it."

He knew that it was useless to pretend to be confused now, so he simply asked, "Special Envoy, did you really find out that the Cen family was involved in the case?"

He Lingchuan nodded: "The clues are all directed at the Cen Mansion." "Proven guilty?"

"Crucial evidence is missing." He Lingchuan sighed, "Frankly speaking, I arrested two of his guards. Those two came to kill people, and I intercepted them."

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Two guards, it's not enough to convict."

"Xiang always understands people." He Lingchuan said, "I lack a piece of evidence that can directly link the case to the Cen family."

Tiger Jiao Yu said on the side, "Mr. Mai."

"Of course Mr. Mak can, but his whereabouts are unknown now, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of showing up again." He Lingchuan shook his head, "I don't know if it was Cen Fu or Zhongsun Mou, who sent a nightmare to kill me last night."

Hearing this, it was not a conventional method, and Xiang Yan was taken aback: "Are you okay, envoy?"

"Okay, I didn't get killed." He Lingchuan sighed, "I chased back, but it turned out that Fan Sheng of Tongxinwei was waiting there, not saying a word, and I would have a big fight. This man is so hard to fight, and he also has a giant bear brother named Fan, Fan..."

As soon as he mentioned the name of Fan Sheng, Xiang Yan stood still and inhaled from between his teeth: "Fan Storm?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan smiled, "Do you recognize Xiang Lao too?"

"It's more than recognition! The Fan brothers of Tongxinwei, that is not simple. You were able to come back alive from Fan Sheng's hands, really, really, really ....." Xiang Iwamoto wanted to say that he was lucky, but looking back, it couldn't be all luck.

It seems that he has been underestimating this young envoy.

"Tongxinwei is the southern garrison of Lingxu City, responsible for the security of the south of the city and the surrounding areas, and has always been a talent carefully selected from the Barbarian Dragon Army."

After traveling in the Bejia Kingdom for so long, He Lingchuan had heard the name of the Barbarian Dragon Army. It was one of Bega's elite armies.

"The three Fan brothers are the chief and deputy of this legion."

"Oh, wait a minute. He Lingchuan said strangely, "Three brothers? I only saw Fan Sheng and Fan Bang last night."

"The great commander of Tongxinwei, that is, the eldest of the Fan brothers, is named Fan Long, who has outstanding achievements in battle and is strong in cultivation." Xiang Yan explained to him, "He and Fan Sheng are blood brothers, as for the giant bear Fan Storm, it was the third brother they recognized, Fan Long personally named it."

"I said, Fan Sheng looks like a human no matter how he looks." Of course, humans and bears can't be brothers, right..... Right?

"Among the three brothers, Fan Long is the most powerful, which is recognized in the army. Fan Sheng's martial arts cultivation was all taught by his brother. Xiang Yan glanced at him, "It's not that I am majestic, Fan Long once single-handedly killed the Great Demon Qifeng. If the envoy confronts him, I am afraid that there will be many bad lucks."

He Lingchuan scratched his head.

Fan Sheng was already difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would have a stronger brother. He hit the small one, will it lead to the old one later?

Then again, "What is the origin of the wind?"

"It's a big demon who sneaked up on the Ruin Mountain, and it is said to have the blood of an ancient demon immortal. There are some youkai who have refused to submit to Bega, and this is one of them. At that time, Lingxu City dispatched a lot of people, but they couldn't take it down." Xiang Yan shook his head, "Fan Long's style is completely different from that of the two brothers, shrewd, ruthless, and sophisticated. This kind of person, no one dares to offend easily."

"He didn't come anyway. He Lingchuan's heart was big, "It seems that he has a big coffee position, and Zhongsun Mou still can't please move him.

Xiang Yan didn't know what a coffee position was, and he didn't plan to ask more: "Fan Long is responsible for himself, and he will not leave the Void City easily."

"Then it'll be fine." He Lingchuan let out a long sigh and changed the subject, "It's hard to find clues, these pickles are too clean."

"..... is the envoy here today?"

"Oh, I'd like to find another clue to see if the old man can help." Xiang Yan clasped his hands: "Special envoy, please speak."

This matter is getting more and more tricky

。

He Lingchuan said, "The progress of the case has been presented to the prince by Jiao Yu. The prince also wrote to me and said that this matter should be investigated to the end, no matter what background the other party is."

With that, he handed over Fushan Yue's handwriting.

Xiang Yan respectfully took it, opened it and read it word by word.

The content above is the attitude of the Chiyan Kingdom towards this matter: "For the front line of trouble, those who harm my demon people will be investigated to the end, and they will not be tolerated!"

The words are conclusive, and there is no ambiguity and discretion that are common in official documents. At the end is the prince's big red seal, which is very eye-catching.

After reading it, he returned it to He Lingchuan and said in a deep voice: "The old man knows it, and he should fully cooperate, hoping to live up to the envoy's trust."

has been an old oilman in officialdom for decades, and Xiang Yan is very clear about He Lingchuan's intention to win the letter, that is, to tell him not to steal women anymore.

But he is retired after all, and now he is an old man with no power and no power.

He Lingchuan smiled: "Just do your best to the old man, I just want to ask you to do something."

Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Please command, I won't tell the third party."

What He Lingchuan wanted was his promise.

"The difficulty now is that we have to find a second physical or human evidence that can be directly related to the Cen family."

"Is that spellmaster Cheng Yu who released the nightmare?" The tiger passed by a big tree and couldn't help but lie on it and grind its paws. This red sandalwood tree is very precious, but Xiang Yan doesn't mind, "Even if you can catch him, even if he can come out to testify, but there is no evidence to say it, and it is useless without physical evidence."

Why did they send Cheng Yu to plot against He Lingchuan? It's because the method of killing people in dreams is undocumented.

"He's a supporting piece of evidence at most." He Lingchuan said slowly, "I think there is a suitable candidate."

Xiang Yan showed concern instead: "There are many murderous opportunities around the envoy, so be careful."

He Lingchuan smiled, this old man obviously knew the situation in the city very well, but he pretended to be ignorant before.

Xiang Yan sighed again: "Fortunately, Cen Boqing's wife, that is, the eldest daughter of Lingxu City's Great Si Nong, is not in Baisha, otherwise this case would be even more difficult to handle."
