"Whew!"

The bolts burst through the air.

The middle-aged officer unsheathed his long knife and flew the crossbow arrows that were shot at him, and the hostility cultivated in the army suddenly surged up.

This little gong dared to shoot an arrow at him, and he deserved to behead him today. Watchmen have always flaunted their might, and they don't retaliate at this time, let alone when.

The middle-aged officer raised his long knife and shouted: "Those who break into the Punishment Department, die!"

The sonorous sound continued, and the soldiers drew their sabers with solemn expressions, looking like they were going to war.

Xu Qi'an's legs exerted force on the stirrups, jumped several feet high, and in the process of flying, his right hand pressed the handle of the black gold long knife.

The middle-aged officer sneered, and the long knife wrapped in a strong qi machine greeted him.

In mid-air, a bright sword flashed, Xu Qi'an and the middle-aged officer staggered, and landed at the gate of the criminal department.

It was only at this time that the two sides reacted, including their counterparts, who did not expect Xu Qi'an to be so decisive.

In their thoughts, Xu Qi'an would show the gold medal and retreat from the guards. This way is softer and less prone to extraneous branches.

Xu Qi'an held the knife in his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a blood line shook out on the ground.

The middle-aged officer's body shook and fell to the ground with his head on his back.

A non-commissioned officer stepped forward to check, touched the officer's neck, and said in a lost voice: "Dead!"

At this time, the faces of the people on the watch also changed.

Conflict is conflict, although everyone looks like they are going to fight, but if you kill someone, ** will escalate, and it is still the people from the criminal department who are killed.

Even the most arrogant watchman has never killed people in the street at the gate of any of the six yamen.

Brush!

All the soldiers turned around in unison and headed towards Xu Qi'an, the atmosphere was like a powder keg, which would explode soon.

This is a real man in three seconds.... It's not enough to support me to fight a protracted battle, so let's find an opportunity to change it in the future.

Xu Qi'an, who was tired and tired, took out the gold medal and showed it to everyone: "Handle the case according to the order, and those who obstruct it will be killed!"

He swept over the soldiers with a piercing gaze.

"Not yet!" he yelled.

Under the double shock of the gold medal and the corpse of the officer, the soldiers retreated.

Xu Qi'an received the sheath and led two silver gongs and twelve gongs to break into the yamen of the criminal department.

Along the way, Yang Feng and Min Shan, the two silver gongs, constantly examined Xu Qi'an, as if they were getting to know this person again.

Min Shan frowned and said, "Isn't it too impulsive! Killing people outside the gate of the Criminal Department, there are still people with official positions, aren't you afraid of investigating them afterwards?"

Xu Qi'an, who killed for the first time, still had anger in his eyebrows, and looked at his beard: "Do I have anything to do afterwards?"

Min Shan was stunned.

Xu Qi'an sneered and continued: "I am already in a desperate situation, for me now, progress is life, and clues are life. Whoever dares to stop me from handling the case will want my life.

"The Criminal Department and the Yamen of the watchman have never dealt with each other, and then there are government officials who grab merit, these people are the stumbling blocks for me to handle the case, I am not ruthless, and there will be a second, third, and fourth person who will jump out to obstruct me in the future. If I don't kill them, they will kill me indirectly.

"I cut off one that doesn't have long eyes today, and tomorrow the others who don't have long eyes will be jealous and afraid. This is also a disguised reduction of sins. ”

Xu Qi'an said, glanced at Yang Feng and Min Shan, and smiled: "The two people under Yang Jinluo's hands still question me and don't trust my ability to do things, let alone the government and the criminal department?"

He said it very clearly, this is in Liwei.

Yang and Min smiled and said, "Lord Xu, we underestimated you." ”

This voice is sincere. And not forced by the emperor's orders.

The yamen of the criminal department is very large, and Xu Qi'an arrested an official on the way to lead the way.

The officials were just powerless, and they were a little afraid of this group of fierce and vicious watchmen, so they didn't dare to disobey and led them to the council hall.

Walk through the compound to the council hall of the Criminal Department, which is a spacious hall with no tables, only chairs, neatly arranged.

The people of the two yamen sat on both sides, and they were distinct.

On the left are the officials of the Criminal Department headed by the second-grade Criminal Department Shangshu who wears a scarlet robe and embroiders a brocade chicken.

On the right are the officials led by Chen Fu Yin of the Sipin Jingzhao Mansion who wears a scarlet robe and embroiders cloud geese.

In the middle sat a eunuch wearing a high hat and a python robe, with a white face and beard, squinting eyes, and a strange yin and yang.

This eunuch was flanked by two eunuchs.

When he arrived at the door, the clerk was like a little quail, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, my lords.... The watchman has arrived...."

In the conference hall, more than a dozen powerful officials looked at each other.

Xu Qi'an met the eyes of all the bigwigs, crossed the threshold, hugged his fists and said: "This official Xu Qi'an, you adults are polite." ”

He swept through the crowd and saw a familiar woman, one of the head catchers of Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Qing.

The latter also noticed him, and a thick blankness flashed in his eyes. Especially after seeing the two silver gongs and the other gongs faintly headed by Xu Qi'an, I became more and more shocked.

A certain official of the Criminal Department glanced at Xu Qi'an and said lightly: "In such a big case, the watchman didn't even send a golden gong, and this official will definitely write a letter of impeachment tomorrow." ”

Xu Qi'an said lightly: "If you are investigating the case, why do you need to explain to your criminal department?"

After a pause, he said: "I heard that the Criminal Department has detained Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and many errands in the palace, and obstructed us from interrogating the guards. ”

Sun Shangshu, who had a one-sided relationship, didn't speak, didn't even glance at Xu Qi'an, picked up the teacup with an expressionless face, and took a sip.

In officialdom, serving tea means sending off guests.

The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth hooked, and he didn't continue to argue, and silently found a place to sit down.

In the eyes of everyone, he admitted his cowardice and endured Sun Shangshu's dismount.

At this time, a clerk rushed over, glanced at the watchman, bowed his head and whispered a few words in the ear of a criminal department official.

The official of the Criminal Department changed his face greatly, and he took the case, pointed at Xu Qi'an and the others, and scolded: "How can this be reasonable, there is no king's law!"

The officials in the hall frowned.

Sun Shangshu said: "What's the matter?"

The official of the Criminal Department looked excited, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Shangshu, Gonggong Liu, this group of watchmen killed people at the entrance of our criminal department, and they killed generals with official positions, how arrogant and arrogant. It has to be punished severely. ”

The officials were taken aback, and even the big eunuch who was holding a shelf, squinting and not speaking, looked at Xu Qi'an and the others in surprise.

Sun Shangshu's face remained unchanged, and he gently patted the arm of the chair and said, "The Criminal Department is in charge of the criminal law and the law, sharing worries for Your Majesty, asking for the lives of all the people, and someone is coming..."

"Slow!" Xu Qi'an interrupted loudly, with a sneer: "This official is ordered to investigate the case, and the criminal department obstructs and obstructs the case. In addition, this official suspects that the criminal department colluded with the thieves and was the culprit in blowing up the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple, Sun Shangshu, why don't you go with me to beat the yamen?"

It's so rigid?

The officials of the government looked at each other in disbelief, this was really a little gong that dared to say it?

Sun Shangshu is the second product who holds great power, one of the princes of the court, and the gong in front of him dares to speak like this, and he doesn't take Sun Shangshu in his eyes at all.

The officials of the government couldn't help but look at their bosses, but found that Chen Fuyin was looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, pretending not to see it.

"Bold!"

"Dare to frame Lord Shangshu, how many heads do you have?"

The officials of the criminal department were furious.

Xu Qi'an was even more frenzied, took a step forward, pressed the knife with one hand, and stared at everyone in the criminal department: "The criminal department can't solve the case, I'll solve it." If the criminal department can't kill them, I'll kill them!"

"And!" Xu Qi'an took out the gold medal given by His Majesty from his arms, shook his hand, and the "bang" gold medal spun and embedded in the ground, splashing fine dust.

"The Criminal Department dares to obstruct my case, and I will kill the Criminal Department together!"

"Is it clear enough?"

There was silence in the council room, and the angry officials of the Criminal Department suddenly became dumbfounded, not because they were afraid, but because they were shocked.

What's going on with the Yamen? What's going on with Wei Yuan?

Sending such a stunned young man to handle the case, isn't this a handle to the hands of political enemies?

With these words, if he is arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department, he will not be able to get out for the rest of his life. Tomorrow, the Criminal Department will jointly refer to Wei Yuan's book to see how he explains.

"Hehe!" the big eunuch in the python robe laughed, "Sure enough, he is young and vigorous, and his edge is exposed." ”

He looked around at everyone: "Let me introduce you to this gong, he is the organizer of the yamen who was recommended by the eldest princess and personally named by His Majesty."

"By the way, he was sentenced by Duke Wei to be beheaded seven days later for slashing his superiors. His Majesty was merciful and allowed him to perform meritorious deeds. ”

The host hand-picked by His Majesty, no wonder he dared to be so crazy..... Slash your superiors, cut your waist after seven days, no wonder the killing intent is so heavy!

The officials of the Criminal Department suddenly fell silent.

This is a desperate fanatic, solving the case is his only life, such a person is the most prone to extremes. If you force him, I'm afraid I'm willing to pull a few people to accompany the funeral.

This can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to kill the officer.

Seeing that the officials of the Criminal Department were seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the chief eunuch pressed his hand and said: "Sit down, the Sambo case is very involved, and Your Majesty attaches more importance to it than the tax and silver case, so I am specially appointed as the governor to urge you to handle the case."

"The watchman came just in time, I'll talk to you when I go back. ”

This eunuch is obviously more biased towards me.... To be precise, it is Wei Yuan's relationship?

Xu Qian clenched his fists and returned to his seat.

Song Tingfeng was very good at cooperating, ran forward and pulled out the gold medal, and presented it with both hands: "My lord, your gold medal." ”

Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone demonstratively, and stretched out his hand to take it: "Hmm!"

His second stage of Liwei worked well.

Shaping himself as a reckless man at the end of the road can solve many problems in the future, and if the people in the criminal department and the government want to fight for merit, they have to weigh it first. The guy he has to face is a neurotic who pulls out a knife and kills people without saying a word.

As for what trouble will be caused in the future, Xu Qi'an doesn't care, first, he believes that Wei Yuan will shelter him from the wind and rain. Second, if he can't handle the case, he doesn't have to care about the follow-up, either he dies or leaves the capital forever.

Gonggong Liu took a sip of tea and said, "There are people missing inside the three yamen, and these missing people are most likely saucers, helping thieves secretly smuggle gunpowder." What do you think about this?"

Chen Fuyin said: "This government has sent people to check the families of the nine deceased, all of whom are still in the capital, and they have no idea about the disappearance of their relatives. The government deduced that the nine people did not flee, but were killed. ”

Gonggong Liu bowed slightly.

An official of the Criminal Department said: "In the three yamen, there must still be hidden plates, and even more hidden dishes are those who kill people and kill people and liquidate those who know." ”

Gonggong Liu frowned and groaned.

Xu Qi'an listened silently, since he stayed to attend the meeting, the detained people were of little use.

This is because if you listen to the conversations between the criminal department and the government officials, you will know what you want to know.

"I'm afraid that not only Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites, but even the Ministry of Industry have plates. Lu Qing said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at the only woman present.

Gonggong Liu looked at Lu Qing and nodded: "Go on." ”

Lu Qing said: "I have investigated their family background and interpersonal interactions, and with their ability, they are simply not enough to smuggle out so much gunpowder from the gunpowder factory. Therefore, there must be someone in the Ministry of Industry secretly assisting, and the official position is not small. ”

The official position is not small ....

"Gunpowder is a strategic material that the imperial court attaches great importance to, and all kinds of secrecy and anti-theft measures are very strict and complete. Without the assistance of senior officials of the Ministry of Industry, this matter would not have been possible. ”

The logic is clear and reasonable, and everyone keeps nodding their heads when they listen, and they are impressed by Lu Qing, the female catcher.

Xu Qi'an noticed that a eunuch beside Gonggong Liu was writing hard, as if he was making a record and recording everyone's conversations.

.... This is to be shown to Emperor Yuan Jing?

The emperor Lao'er attaches much more importance to this case than the tax and silver case.... Well, yes, I don't know what that thing came out of under Sambo was.

Something that is not extremely scary, extremely important, will not be sealed in Sampo.

Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

Gonggong Liu, who was wearing a python robe, looked at the watchman, looked at Xu Qi'an, and asked, "Lord Xu, don't keep silent, as the organizer of the watchman, do you have any gains?"

The officials of the government and the criminal department looked at it at the same time.

PS: I'm a little tired, I don't want to correct the typos word by word, everyone remember to bring it up in this chapter, give me a reminder.
