After nibbling on the buns, Xu Qi'an asked Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng to inform the rest of the team and assemble in the front yard.

Xu Qi'an's current team: Jin Yutang, Zhenxie Hall, Chunfeng Hall, Si Tianjian Chu Caiwei, and Fu Ya are six fast arresters.

A total of 24 people.

Min Shan and Yang Feng were responsible for verifying the production and use records of gunpowder in the Ministry of Industry, which was a tedious and time-consuming task.

Xu Qi'an decided that the gunpowder did not come from the Ministry of Industry, but out of caution, he still did not stop the investigation of the Ministry of Industry.

Leaving Beijing today, knowing that so many forces were involved in the Sambo case, Xu Qi'an complied with his wishes and tried to bring as many people as possible.

He went to the imperial city first, and the others were stopped outside the imperial city, and the only one who could walk hand in hand with him was the foodie Chu Caiwei.

This girl is a frequent visitor to the imperial city, she wants to come and go, and her status is very unusual.

"Did the eldest princess give you a jade pendant?" asked Xu Qi'an.

Chu Caiwei nodded.

"I have it too. Xu Qi'an took out the waist jade given by Princess Lin'an and proudly showed off.

"It's a little familiar.... Ah, Princess Lin'an?" Chu Caiwei snorted.

"I'm a person from Princess Lin'an now, and she appreciates me. Seeing that the eldest princess didn't give me a jade pendant, she hurriedly gave one, saying that she valued me more than the eldest princess and was more worthy of refuge. Xu Qi'an told the big-eyed girl about yesterday.

"She's stupid. Chu Caiwei giggled, laughing at Lin'an.

Big brother Mo laughs at second brother, where do you get the confidence to laugh at framing.... Xu Qi'an echoed: "Yes, not every woman is as smart as Miss Caiwei. ”

Chu Caiwei's goose face and smile became sweeter.

After a short time, he finally came to Prince Huai's mansion. The title of King Zhenbei is King Huai, and he is the younger brother of Emperor Yuan Jing, so the name of the mansion is Prince Huai's Mansion.

There are two white marble lions in front of the door, the middle door is two zhang high, the golden door nails are arranged in an orderly manner, and the pepper door knocker is larger than the mansion of the general princes and nobles.

In addition to the high-end atmosphere and grade, Xu Qi'an can't think of other adjectives.

At the door stood a column of sharp-armored soldiers with solemn expressions.

"This official Xu Qi'an, who is the presiding officer of the Sambo case appointed by His Majesty, has something to visit the princess, so he will go to pass it on quickly. Xu Qi'an showed the gold medal.

A soldier glanced at Xu Qi'an, and said in a deep voice: "The princess doesn't see anyone, please go back." ”

Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows, and was about to reprimand, but he heard Jia Shi sneer and added: "This is also Your Majesty's order, even if the eldest princess wants to see the princess, it depends on the mood of our princess."

"Get out of here quickly, and don't use chicken feathers as arrows. ”

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized "oh", and said with a smile: "It turns out that the gold medal given by His Majesty is chicken feathers.... This man has blasphemed His Majesty and committed the crime of great disrespect. ”

He pressed the handle of the knife behind his waist with one hand, and laughed fiercely: "This official is now going to arrest criminals, whoever dares to obstruct it, he will be killed!"

Boom!

The black gold long knife was half an inch out of the sheath, and the qi fluctuated out.

The guards who ridiculed Xu Qi'an knew that they had said the wrong thing, and their faces turned slightly pale.

The head of the guard glared at his unobtrusive subordinates, and walked towards Xu Qi'an.

"My lord, the princess is not in the palace. ”

"Where did you go?" Xu Qi'an sat on horseback, staring at him.

"The lowly position is just a doorkeeper, where do you know the whereabouts of the princess. But she is really not in the house, and she just left the city this morning, and she is only half an hour away from you. The head of the guard said kindly.

Xu Qi'an bowed slightly, and said with a tough attitude: "This official wants to arrest the criminal now, if you don't want to be convicted of harboring a colleague, help me take down this person." ”

He pointed to the sneering armorer.

"My lord!" the head of the guard was anxious, and he was angry to death, but he didn't dare to be angry, and said sincerely: "The princess is indeed not in the mansion. ”

The guards of the dignified prince's mansion, when the idle princes and nobles come, can not give face.

But the other party held the gold medal in his hand and caught the handle of his subordinates, and the head of the guard could only value peace.

Xu Qi'an believed it, turned the horse's head, and left with Chu Caiwei.

"Our princess is a little interesting, the eldest princess can't even see it. Xu Qi'an smiled and said tentatively.

Chu Caiwei lived up to expectations, completely unaware of Xu Qi'an's temptation, and replied honestly: "The princess's identity is very special. ”

"How special?"

"It's a secret. Chu Caiwei grinned: "If you don't inquire about these things, it won't do you any good." ”

After speaking, she put on a straight face and warned: "Don't bribe me with food." ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid I can't help it...," she said aggrievedly.

.....

There are three missions today, and the investigation of Zhao Countyling's death has already had relatively accurate results last night. Of the remaining two tasks, see that the princess did not complete it.

Xu Qi'an, who was unfavorable, felt very good!

He is a person who treats his work rigorously and seriously, and he is definitely not in a bad mood because he is greedy for the beauty of the princess, and he wants to see the beauty.

Is the princess special? This special is definitely not the appearance, but something else. Since she is so special, why did Emperor Yuan Jing give the great beauty to the king of Zhenbei back then..... Or is it precisely because of this special that Emperor Yuan Jing gave the beauty.

Xu Qi'an thought distracted for a moment, and then left the princess behind.

The case is already so difficult to handle, and brain cells can't be wasted on these inconsequential trivialities.

.....

There is a Baifeng Mountain in the western suburbs of Dafeng, starting from the West City Gate, it can be reached in more than half an hour.

The name of Baifeng Mountain comes from the fact that there is a white wild bird inhabiting the mountain, and the tail feathers are very long, like a phoenix, hence the name.

But now the white phoenix on the mountain is almost extinct, and it is still Si Tianjian's pot.

In a certain year and month, a doctor from Si Tianjian went to Baifeng Mountain to collect medicine, caught a few white phoenixes, and brought them home to study, and found that the flesh of the white phoenix could aphrodisiac....

Coming to the foot of Baifeng Mountain, the well-informed Lu Qing talked about it with a smile.

Song Tingfeng's heart moved, and he hesitated to speak: "Boss, I have a friend who is not in good health, and I want to beat him a few white phoenixes." ”

Min Shan Min Yinluo glared and said: "When is it, still thinking about hunting game, it is important, if the case is delayed, who is responsible?"

Li Yuchun frowned and did not answer.

Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "This time I came to Baifeng Mountain, mainly to learn about an old past, but it is not very urgent, Tingfeng, you remember to go back quickly." ”

When Min Shan heard this, he said with a shy face: "Lord Xu, why don't you let me accompany Song Tongluo to go together, so that I can take care of it." ”

Xu Qi'an glanced at him: "You also have a friend?"

Min Shan felt that all the men were staring at him with a strange look.

Min Yingong was a little anxious, and held back a sentence for a long time: "It doesn't matter if it's strong or not, the main thing is to taste what it's like to be a bird that is about to become extinct." ”

Everyone laughed, Xu Qi'an finished laughing, and said with a straight face: "I was joking just now, the background of the Sang Bo case is very complicated, I don't care where you go in the capital, except for the capital, don't leave the team." ”

The winding stairs lead to the depths of the forest, and at the foot of the mountain there is a huge torii with a plaque of "Qinglong Temple".

Qinglong Temple does not say that pilgrims are like clouds, but it is not a depression, and you can occasionally see nearby people who go up the mountain to burn incense along the way.

A luxury carriage was parked next to the archway, escorted by more than a dozen Rong armored soldiers.

This car Xu Qi'an is very familiar, made of golden silk nanmu, and the body details are wrapped with jade pieces and gold leaf. It was the carriage he had encountered when he first went to the Workshop Division.

The owner of the carriage also asked Xu Qi'an to throw a pot and exchanged 400 taels of gold for a Bodhi bracelet.

"By the way, Daoist Jin Lian said that the woman in the carriage will have a relationship with me..... Who could it be, the golden silk nanmu is for the exclusive use of the royal family, the carriage of the eldest princess and the second princess is not like this, a certain county lord in the clan, or, the emperor's concubine?"

"No, no, no, it's definitely not a concubine, don't scare yourself. ”

Even if it's a concubine, she has to be a beautiful woman at the level of her aunt.... He added in his heart.

Tie the horse to the wooden stake next to the archway, leaving a fast hand of the government and a gong to watch the horse, Xu Qi'an took the watchman to climb the mountain.

After not taking a few steps, Xu Qi'an's feet softened and stepped on a sachet.

Instead of picking up silver today, you will pick up sachets instead?

He naturally bent down to pick it up, held it in his palm and looked at it, the sachet was embroidered with intricate moire, the workmanship was fine, the materials were expensive, and it was by no means affordable for ordinary rich daughters.

The sachet is embroidered with the golden character "Nan" on one side and the word "Gardenia" on the other. The golden tassels are tied with beautiful knots.

Xu Qi'an smelled a good smell, like perfume, like sandalwood, and like a woman's unique body fragrance.

"The people in front, you wait....", a crisp voice came from behind the crowd.

A girl in a light blue coat caught up, and she was not afraid to see the errand clothes of the watchman, pointed to the sachet in Xu Qi'an's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is our mother's mother." ”

She combed her maid's hair in a bun, but the material she wore was better than that of ordinary rich daughters.

Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at the luxurious carriage at the foot of the mountain: "Your mother?"

"Don't ask, return the sachet quickly. The girl's tone was impulsive.

"What sachet?" Xu Qi'an took the sachet into his arms.

"You.," the girl glared at him viciously, "you wait for me." ”

Carrying a thick skirt and running down the stone steps, Xu Qi'an didn't leave, stayed where she was, watching her approach the carriage and talking something by the window.

"Ning Yan, don't make trouble, it's a carriage for the royal family. Li Yuchun frowned.

Xu Qi'an was just ordered to investigate the case, and in Brother Chun's heart, he was still his subordinate. Brother Chun didn't want Xu Qi'an to cause too many incidents during the investigation of the case, so that even if he made meritorious contributions in the future, he would offend people who should not be offended, and his current efforts would be in vain.

.... You don't understand, that woman is destined for me!

Xu Qi'an shook his head, did not explain, and still paid attention to the movement on the side of the carriage.

The ending disappointed Xu Qi'an, and he vaguely saw a gap in the car window open, and the people inside seemed to be scrutinizing him.

Far away, he couldn't see the dimly lit interior of the carriage.

The windows closed quickly, and they were tightly sealed. After a few seconds, the carriage moved slowly and drifted away.

It seems that fate has not yet arrived... Xu Qi'an let out a breath: "Let's go, go and meet the host of Qinglong Temple." ”

.....

A group of watchmen dressed in errand clothes poured into the temple and immediately attracted a deacon to receive them.

This deacon is a fat monk with a round face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, in his early forties, with his hands folded: "The poor monk is the prison of Qinglong Temple, and his law name is Hengqing. ”

He led Xu Qi'an and others into the temple, enthusiastically introduced the history of Qinglong Temple, claiming to be the orthodox inheritance of the West, practicing Mahayana Buddhism in the temple, and worshipping the Buddha.

Xu Qi'an's eyes swept over the magnificent halls, and waved his hand: "Call your abbot out, this official has something to ask." ”

Qinglong Temple is the only temple in the capital of Dafeng that cultivates Buddhism, as the deacon said, Mahayana Buddhism from the West.

Xu Qi'an had done his homework before he came, and the abbot of Qinglong Temple was a five-grade lawmaker, who could fight better than any of them.

But Xu Qi'an was not intimidated at all, because in the early stage of the Buddhist system, he was not good at fighting, except for the eight-rank warrior monks.

The nine grades of Buddhism are called novices, this realm is very interesting, the core secret is to keep the precepts, and if you don't break the precepts within three years, you can be promoted. At first glance it looks simple, but it's not.

The precepts of Buddhism are so strict and complicated that you may unintentionally break them.

Bapin is a warrior monk, not much different from a warrior, and he is very capable of fighting.

The seventh-grade mage and sixth-grade Zen master in the back are not very capable of fighting, and when they reach the fifth-grade law, they can be regarded as having a qualitative change.

It is worth mentioning that when Xu Qi'an checked the information in the Yamen case library, he found a very interesting point, the next rank of the nine novices is the mage.

Directly skipped the eight-rank warrior monk.

There is no reason written in the information, time is pressing, and Xu Qian is too lazy to spend time studying the Buddhist system, only guessing that there may be two completely different ways in the Buddhist system.

"The abbot is meditating, it's inconvenient to disturb, what can I tell you. Hengqing led everyone into the tearoom and ordered the novice to serve tea.

"Is there a magic weapon in the temple that shields Si Tian Jian Wang's Qi Technique?" Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged on the futon and asked bluntly.

"What do you mean by this, my lord?" Hengqing clasped his hands together and shook his head: "There is no such magic weapon in the temple. ”

"Master, monks don't speak. Xu Qi'an's eyes were sharp.

Hengqing lowered his head, did not look at Xu Qi'an, and said: "What the poor monk said is true. ”

"Is it possible that after passing the Nine Rank Shami Realm, you can lie unscrupulously?" Xu Qi'an smiled and did not smile.

Hengqing lowered his head and ignored it, not caring about the cold gaze of the people around him, and ignoring it.

Non-violent non-cooperation? Xu Qi'an was a little angry.
