Kyoto, Lee Kyung-seo's residence.

In the early days of this day, in the handling of the Jingzhou City case, in addition to praising Li Jingrui, the Taishou of Jingzhou, for his good leadership and meritorious work in solving the case, he did not mention anything about the people who died in the case, such as Wang Lin, and all the officials who sacrificed in this case, but gave a very high evaluation to Xu Jianping, and named him the head of Dali Temple, the official of the six products, and the post of the head of Dali Temple to try specific cases or send envoys to local areas to review cases.

When Li Jingrui took the appointment document and threw it to Xu Jianping, Xu Jianping was lonely and unwilling, what he wanted was not this paper canonization document, if it was just His Majesty's determination to thoroughly investigate the case, "Xu Xian's nephew, you must know that the land of Kyoto is like an abyss, and if you are not careful, there may be no bones, so don't be rash." ”

Xu Jianping bowed his hand and replied calmly: "Thank you, my lord." ”

Today's Xu Jianping is no longer the humble body of the past, you can know the difference from Li Jingrui's title, if it is said that Xu Jianping's gift in the past was the gift of the subordinates to see the master, then now it is the courtesy of the subordinates who have seen the officials, this is respect, and it is also etiquette.

At night, in the drunken immortal building in Luoyang, Kyoto, Xu Jianping pinched the wine glass with one hand and drank it freely, and the person opposite also raised a glass to drink with him.

"Brother Xu, today's wine is to thank you for saving your life in Jingzhou, come, a certain respect." Today's Bai Qiuxue is still the same equipment as yesterday, with white clothes, robes, tied hair, and bone fans.

"Lord Bai, don't mention the past, besides, you have also saved your next life, it can be regarded as a pass" Xu Jianping pointed to the bank of the Xiangjiang River that day, and the King of Huainan returned with thousands of iron horses, because Bai Qiuxue was present.

Bai Qiuxue drank it down, and said in her mouth, "I didn't contribute that day, foolish brother, and even if you weren't there, you would have a way to escape, so it can't be counted." ”

Xu Jianping's expression was a little indifferent, thinking of all the things in recent days, looking at the bustling crowd in the restaurant, he couldn't help but be full of disappointment, "Look at these salient beings, in their eyes, these are all ants, and it is not a pity to die!" ”

Seeing this, Bai Qiuxue hesitated again and again, but still said what he said about his conversation with the leader Jiang Feng that day, "Brother Xu, you know that there is a twist in the imperial study, which comes from Li Guyuan, the envoy of Jingzhou Salt and Iron Transfer, although he does not know its contents, but with your ability, he must know what he is saying inside. ”

Xu Jianping looked stunned after hearing this, there was Li Guyuan's twist and turn in the imperial study, which meant that His Majesty had already known about the salt and iron smuggling case, but why would His Majesty let this case go unattended, and Li Guyuan did not arrange for people from Dali Temple to review after his death, you must know that Li Guyuan is the five-rank official of the imperial court, if it were not for the existence of Xu Jianping, then this case would definitely become an unsolved case with the existing investigation methods in Jingzhou.

The more Xu Jianping thought about it, the more frightened he became, is it possible that the person behind the salt and iron smuggling case is actually His Majesty? It stands to reason that the whole world is not the king's land, but why did Your Majesty do this, it is rumored that Your Majesty is obsessed with Xuanhuang in pursuit of immortality, is this the reason why Your Majesty has set up a private treasury? You must know that now the lower reaches of the Yellow River have burst their banks year after year, floods, and the treasury is already empty, and even the food for disaster relief has been collected for more than 20 days to collect half of it.

It is no wonder that the king of Huainan had no fear, and dared to send troops to encircle and suppress Li Taishou and his party that day, but I don't know if General Huo Da knew about it, otherwise with his old man's interest, if he knew about it, he was afraid that he would carry a gun and commit murder at night tonight.

Xu Jianping took the flask and took a big sip, "How did Lord Yushi know about this, and why did you tell Yu Zaixia?" "The more people who know about such a secret thing, the more dangerous it is.

Although Bai Qiuxue didn't understand the original intention of his boss Jiang Feng, he also knew that Jiang Feng and Xu Jian had never been alive and couldn't harm him, "I don't know what he means, you can ask for yourself in the future, but Lord Jiang didn't harm your heart." ”

Xu Jianping couldn't figure out his thoughts, but he believed in Bai Qiuxue's person, since Bai Qiuxue said so, it was credible to think about it, "Last time I was in Jingzhou, I asked you, why did Daoist Ling Xiao kill me, but you haven't answered. ”

The earth-shattering battle between Bai Qiuxue and Ji Wusheng in Jingzhou City gave Bai Qiuxue seven days to solve the case at the cost of being seriously injured, but fortunately, the case was closed within seven days, so Ji Wusheng did not come to assassinate Xu Jianping and others. Xu Jianping asked him that day, but Bai Qiuxue at that time did not tell him the reason.

"It's a long story!"

"Then you can make a long story short."

Bai Qiuxue calmed down, and said slowly: "That bull nose is the first disciple of the third generation of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and now in the imperial court, General Huo Da and the national teacher Zhang Heng are protesting separately, and the forces outside the court are supervised by the Supervisor of Heaven and the Embroidered Imperial History, the Supervisor of Heaven was originally formed at the suggestion of the National Teacher, and the people inside are his disciples and henchmen. In recent years, since the defeat of Buddhism in the Central Plains, all over the country where there are strange cases behind the scenes have the figure of the prison Tiansi, the purpose of which is nothing more than to expand their own power, the Jingzhou ghost curse murder case is also its behind-the-scenes advocacy, Ji Wuming received the order is to go to Jingzhou to ensure that the case is closed as a ghost and god, who can solve the case, who is his assassination target. ”

Xu Jianping's heart was full of resentment after hearing this, so that the whole country, wouldn't there be unjust, false and wrongful cases everywhere, "I heard that the Criminal Department is subordinate to the national teacher Zhang Heng?" ”

Bai Qiuxue smiled, "Yes, you know why I came to you for a drink today!" ”

Xu Jianping raised his middle finger and made an international gesture to it, and he despised it in his heart, "Can Lord Bai's face be thicker, if you want to go down to embroider clothes, you will say it directly, and turn around to tell Xu that you can't go to Dali Temple." ”

Bai Qiuxue didn't know the meaning of his gesture, but thought that he was praising himself, "Come, drink...... If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home! ”

"But over there in Dali Temple, how should I deal with it?"

"It's okay, Lord Jiang will take care of it!"

In the dead of night, inside the Imperial City.

The two figures carried true qi, their bodies were as light as swallows, and they flew through the walls in the imperial city.

"Big brother, you go first!"

These two people are masked in black veil, dressed in night clothes, and at a glance they know that they are roosters and dog thieves, and one of them is carrying a square wooden box in his arms, and the strange thing is that in this dark night, the wooden box exudes a faint green light.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout on the ground: "Don't think about leaving, you really think that the imperial city is a place where you can come when you want to, and leave when you want!" ”

Hundreds of meters behind him, I saw a burly, strong man in poor military uniform, chasing from the ground towards the roof two, although this person is not as light as the two people in black, but with this incomparably amazing explosive power and speed, a body of external strength and luck, every step will step on the ground to break a hole, in an instant, the distance between the two sides has been shortened.

This person is one of the four famous arrests of the Kyoto Criminal Prosecutor's Division, a first-class master ranked twenty-first in the rivers and lakes, and an official Ling in the red iron hand.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be you, a vulgar person, you will catch up with me first, and then we will say" The two black-clothed figures have not changed, and they are lucky, and their speed is twice as fast, obviously these two people are good at light skills.

After Shangguan Ling heard this, he didn't care about anything else, he directly stepped on it heavily, jumped up, flew to the roof, and burst into bursts, completely ignoring the roof of the imperial city, one hole at a time, and quickly chased after him from behind.

A loud shout:

"Put down the treasure, stay and wait for the whole corpse ......"
