"Lord Xu, where are we going?" asked Min Shan.

"Arrest the criminal!" Leaving the chamber, Xu Qi'an didn't have any worries, and explained directly.

Yang Feng and the other gongs looked at Xu Qi'an in surprise, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng had some ideas in their hearts, whether it was the saltpeter mine or the case of the small flag official, both of them were involved, and they knew more than others.

If Li Yuchun was here, he would probably be able to sort out his thoughts, but he went to invite Chu Caiwei from Si Tianjian.

"Why hasn't the boss come back yet, do you want to invite someone for a morning?" Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Leaving the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment, as soon as he got on the horse, he saw two yellow horses coming quickly, it was Li Yuchun and Chu Caiwei in a pale yellow dress.

Li Yuchun explained: "Miss Caiwei is not in Si Tianjian, she went to the palace, I waited for a long time at the gate of the imperial city before waiting for her to come out..."

I went to the eldest princess to eat again, this foodie.... In the future, sooner or later, I will let her eat my grandson.... Xu Qi'an smiled kindly: "Miss Caiwei, I haven't seen you for many days, and she is getting more and more beautiful." ”

Chu Caiwei's round goose egg face was covered with a sweet smile, and she just wanted to say something, but when she remembered her identity and the watchers next to her, she put on a straight face and said "um".

The matter was as urgent as fire, Xu Qi'an made a long story short: "Min Yinluo, you take my gold medal to the east gate of the imperial city and arrest Zhou Chixiong and Zhou Baihu."

"The others followed me to the Zhou Mansion to get people. ”

Because I don't know if Zhou Baihu is on duty today, the soldiers are divided into two ways.

Xu Qi'an's arrangement makes sense, the imperial city is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will be no conflict when you are idle, and no one will dare, but it is also not easy to say that you will take people and take people, you have to have a waist card to open the way.

So go to a silver gong and you're good to go.

And directly to Zhou Baihu's house to arrest, he is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, Xu Qi'an has just finished slashing heaven and earth, and his combat power has declined seriously, so he needs to be accompanied by two silver gongs.

.....

On the other side, Lu Qing was reporting the situation.

"Father-in-law Liu, my lords, if it is not surprising, it is very likely that there is a demon clan behind this matter. ”

This sentence made the faces of the officials present change greatly, and Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Department also frowned.

An official of the Criminal Department was not convinced, and asked, "What basis do you have?" ”

"A few days ago, Beizhi and Lord Xu once investigated the case of the monsters in Dahuangshan devouring the gray households in Taikang County. ”

"Monsters devouring gray households?" Father-in-law Liu frowned.

"Yes, in the middle of the year, a monster came to the river at the foot of Dahuang Mountain and devoured hundreds of local gray households. He worked with Lord Xu to deal with the case and discovered a cleanly minted saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan....."

Lu Qing told the case of the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan in detail and clearly to the adults present.

This is a very good way to delay time, because what is said is not empty words, and the adults listen very carefully and do not urge.

"So when I communicated with Lord Xu just now, I analyzed it layer by layer, and found that the gunpowder may not come from the Ministry of Industry, but is related to the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan. Lu Qing said.

The officials of the Criminal Department and the government had serious faces, this case actually involved the demon clan, and the demon clan in Kyushu had two camps: the demon tribes in the northwest, and the ten thousand demon kingdoms in the northwest.

**The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has long been destroyed in the Jiazi Demon Swing, and the remaining remnants are still breathing.

The demon clans in the northwest formed an alliance with the northern tribes to resist Dafeng and the countries of the Western Regions.

Which demon clan is behind the saltpeter mine?

Gonggong Liu glanced at Chen Fuyin, who let out an "oh" and endorsed his subordinates: "There is indeed this matter, and the government office just accepted this case a few days ago, and it was Lu Zhutou who was responsible for handling it at that time." ”

Gonggong Liu's expression was gloomy: "If the saltpeter mine had been discovered earlier, the Sangbo case might not have happened." Why has the monster devouring case that occurred in the middle of the year been pressed until now?"

Lu Qinggang was about to accuse the Taikang County Order of dereliction of duty and ignoring the lives of gray households, but was stopped by Chen Fuyin with a look.

Lao Chen sighed: "The monster is powerful, and the Taikang County Order is also difficult to do." ”

Gonggong Liu snorted coldly: "Our family will tell Your Majesty as it is." ”

Sun Shangshu opened his mouth and glanced at Lu Qing: "What is Xu Qi'an going to do?"

He seemed to see that Lu Qing was vaguely delaying time, and directly pointed to the topic, not wanting her to beep more.

When Gonggong Liu heard this, he groaned: "Even if the demon clan has gunpowder, how can they hide from the Dafeng forbidden army and the guards guarding the city and smuggle the gunpowder into Sangbo?"

"This brings us to another case. Lu Qing replied.

"Another case?" Everyone was surprised, the Sambo bombing case involved so many **?

Lu Qing said: "The day before Your Majesty's ancestor worship, Liu Han, the small banner official of Jin Wuwei, died at home for no reason, and I also dealt with Lord Xu, at that time, Lord Xu speculated that he was killed by someone, but this did not intersect with the case of saltpeter mines, and we did not think of these. ”

Jin Wuwei's small flag officer was exterminated.... Gunpowder was smuggled into Sambo .... All of you here are smart people, and there is no doubt at all.

"The one surnamed Xu just now..." The officials of the Criminal Department and some government officials stood up from their chairs suddenly.

Just now, Lord Xu remembered this matter, and suddenly got through, so he left in a hurry. Lu Qing said.

Sun Shangshu said in a deep voice: "Order the arrest of all 100 households of Jin Wuwei, go quickly!"

Whoop.... Everyone stood up and scrambled out of the chamber, knocking over chairs.

The case has been analyzed to this point, and it is already very clear that grabbing the plate inside Jin Wuwei is equivalent to making the first contribution.

Lu Qing slowly exhaled and did his best.

If it was just fair competition, Lu Qing wouldn't help Xu Qi'an like this, but the other party was in a worrying situation, and this case was his only hope to atone for his crimes.

Lu Qing felt that out of the righteousness of a friend, he would help if he could.

She left the chamber with her colleagues from the government.

Only Gonggong Liu and the eunuchs he brought, Sun Shangshu, and Chen Fuyin were left in the huge conference hall.

Gonggong Liu stretched out his hand, and Chang followed the eunuch to immediately dry the ink and handed the booklet to him.

Liu Gonggong read the content carefully, and the first two were the discussion of the case between the Criminal Department and the government office, which was mainly argumentative and relatively dry.

It wasn't until Xu Qi'an joined that the case began to be cleared and clarified, and the suspect was locked up in a stick of incense.

The progress of the case was so fast that Liu Gonggong was surprised, and according to the normal process, it would take two or three days to link the two cases of the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan and Xiaoqiguan.

From this point of view, His Majesty's appointment of this Xu Qi'an as the host of the Yamen of the Watchman is meaningful.... Gonggong Liu suddenly realized.

"Xiao Yunzi, from today onwards, you will stay in the Yamen of the watchman, responsible for supervising them to handle the case, and deliver the news to me in a timely manner. ”

Liu Gong is fair.

"Yes!" the little eunuch who made the record took the order.

.....

Zhou Mansion, the black lacquer gate is closed.

Song Tingfeng stepped up the steps to the door under Xu Qi'an's signal, slamming and slapping.

"Open the door! ”

An old voice came from the door: "The master of the hundred households is sick and does not see guests, go back." ”

Song Tingfeng banged on the door again, pretending to be dead inside, and did not respond.

When the old man?

Song Tingfeng sneered, kicked on the gate, and with a loud "bang", the solid wood gate fell apart, and the broken wood shot indiscriminately.

An old man in a blue cloth shirt hid in the distance tremblingly, staring at the uninvited guests with a panicked expression.

"Leave two people to guard the gate, and the others go in with Li Yingong and Yang Yinluo. Xu Qi'an waved his hand and ordered the gongs to rush, and he and Chu Caiwei stayed behind.

"You're the organizer, why don't you rush?" Chu Caiwei tilted her head and glanced at him.

"During the Shanhaiguan National War, did you see His Majesty charging into battle?" Xu Qi'an glanced back at her.

Chu Caiwei was speechless, knowing that what he said was crooked, but her not very smart brain couldn't think of a rebuttal for the time being.

"I was going to give you a pill of Strong, forget it. She kept a straight face.

"Powerful pills?"

"Just make up for your body, the qi and blood deficit is like this. Chu Caiwei said.

As a feng shui master of the warlock system, when she was curing diseases and saving people, Xu Qi'an was still locking stones in the yard.

Just looking at Xu Qi'an's complexion, you know that he is losing a lot now.

"Give me one, and I'll treat you to dinner in the evening. Xu Qi'an stabbed her with his elbow.

Chu Caiwei took a few steps back in disgust, took out a porcelain bottle from the deerskin bag and threw it over: "It's enough for you to use for a while." ”

Iron-clad Chu Caiwei, Xu Qi'an likes such a backbone girl, while walking in, he poured a porcelain bottle and swallowed a brown ball.

The meatballs had a strange smell, and after chewing them a few times, they became spicy.

Xu Qi'an swallowed, and after a few seconds, he felt warm in his stomach, very comfortable, and the feeling of detachment had recovered a lot.

"Declare in advance, this is the negative effect of my mastery, and it doesn't mean that I'm Ruan Xiaoer. ”

"What is Ruan Xiaoer?"

"Not a good thing. ”

As he walked, he came to the inner courtyard.

Li Yuchun and Yang Feng greeted them and shook their heads: "The person is gone." ”

The latter added: "Everything valuable in the house has been moved. ”

Song Tingfeng immediately pulled the old porter over, put the knife on his neck, and shouted, "Where is Zhou Chixiong?"

"The lord of a hundred households.... He, he took his wife and young master and young lady out of the city to save his relatives. ”

"Then why did you say he was sick?"

"The lord of the hundred households explained this, the villain, the villain said it...."The old porter's face was terrified, and his legs trembled, not like he was lying.

Xu Qi'an asked, "When did you leave?"

"On the day of the end of the ancestor worship ceremony..."The porter swallowed his saliva and pleaded: "Bai, what crime did the lord of the hundred households commit? The villain doesn't know, he doesn't know...."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand and motioned for Song Tingfeng to let him go.

He led the people back into the house and searched them one by one. Except for some more precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were taken away, all the furnishings in the house are in good condition.

"Zhou Baihu has escaped!" Li Yuchun said in a deep voice.

"It's too early to say that. Xu Qi'an glanced at Chu Caiwei.

The goose-egg-faced beauty actually got his meaning, jumped onto the roof, opened her bright eyes, and scanned every corner of the Zhou Mansion.

She wasn't looking for someone, she was searching for something else. The focus is on the garden and the stone well.

After a while, Chu Caiwei jumped off the roof and shook her head: "There are no corpses hidden in the house, and no one has died here recently.... Well, it may also be covered up by special means. You can dig three feet into the ground and search for it. ”

"There's no need. Xu Qi'an sighed: "Death or escape, this clue is broken." ”

However, eighty percent of them fled, because the people in the house saw Zhou Baihu leave with his family.

Led people out of the gate of Zhou's mansion, Min Shan rushed over with a few gongs, and he didn't have time to rein in the horse, shouting: "After the ancestor worship ceremony, Zhou Baihu took a long vacation. ”

When he saw that his colleagues looked depressed, his heart sank.

"Escaped. Yang Feng exhaled a breath of turbidity.

.....

As soon as Xu Qi'an led people away, the people from the Criminal Department and the government rushed to the Zhou Mansion on horseback, and when they saw the collapsed gate, their hearts immediately cooled.

Summoned the people of the government to interrogate, and learned that the watchman had just pounced, and Zhou Baihu had already fled from the capital.

The people of the two yamen were inexplicably complicated, and they didn't know whether to be happy or sorry.

.....

Twilight!

Father-in-law Liu hurried back to the palace before the city gate closed, and with the support of his sons, he changed into civilian clothes, took a bath, and drank tea before dinner.

A little eunuch hurriedly came in and said softly: "Godfather, Your Majesty sent someone to invite." ”

Gonggong Liu pinched his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Got it!"

He took a sip of water, beckoned his son to change his clothes, changed into a python robe, and just stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly thought of something.

"Bring us the file, the one we brought back today. ”

The little eunuch went back to the house to fetch it.

All the way to the Jingxin Palace, after the transmission, he was led into the hall and saw Emperor Yuan Jing wearing a Taoist robe and a long beard.

Emperor Yuan Jing didn't meditate, he didn't work, he held a scroll in his hand, but his thoughts were not in the book.

"Liu Rong, I sent someone to supervise the case, it's been a day, what is the gain. Emperor Yuan Jing's tone was flat.

Gonggong Liu's heart was cold, he had been on an errand in the palace for decades, and even Emperor Yuan Jing's temperament, the more he was in this posture, the more depressed he became.

Asking whether the case is false, Your Majesty is going to lose his temper.

Gonggong Liu was afraid for a while, and then he was happy, and said in his heart that he was fortunate to have prepared early, and fortunately, he really gained something today.

"Your Majesty, this is a summary of today's case, and the slave is about to show you. Father-in-law Liu took out a thin booklet from his sleeve.
