122 A broken lead (1)
“Lord Xu, where are we going?” Min Shan asked.
“Arrest the criminal!” After leaving the eting hall, Xu Qi ‘an explained without any hesitation.
Yang Feng and the other gongs looked at Xu Qi ‘an in surprise. Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng had so thoughts in their minds. Whether it was the saltpeter mine or the small flag officer’s case, the two of them had been involved and knew more than the others.
If Li Yuchun was here, he would probably be able to sort out his thoughts. However, he had gone to invite Chu Caiwei from the Directorate of Celestials.
why isn’t the boss back yet? do we have to spend the entire morning hiring? ” “Are you in trouble?” Xu Qi ‘an frowned.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice’s Yan, he had just mounted his horse when he saw two yellow horses galloping towards him. It was Li Yuchun and Yan Caiwei, who was wearing a light yellow dress.
“Miss Caiwei isn’t in the Directorate of Celestials. She’s gone into the palace. I’ve been waiting for her at the gates of the Imperial City for a long ti before she finally ca out ...” Li Yuchun explained.
He went to the eldest Princess ‘place to get food again. This glutton ... In the future, I’ll let her eat a stick from sooner or later ... “Miss Caiwei, long ti no see. You’ve beco even more beautiful,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
A sweet smile hung on Yan Caiwei’s round oval face. She was about to say sothing when she rembered her identity and the people watching from the night watchn’s side. She put on a straight face and said, ” mm.
As the matter was urgent, Xu Qi ‘an made a long story short.”Silver min Gong, take my golden dallion and go to the East Gate of the Imperial City to capture Centurion Zhou chixiong.
“The rest of you, follow to the Zhou mansion to capture him.”
Because they didn’t know if Centurion Zhou was on duty today, they had split into two groups.
Xu Qi ‘an’s arrangent was reasonable. The Imperial City was under the feet of the Emperor. There would not be any conflicts, and no one would dare to do so. However, it was not easy to take people away. They had to have a waist token to open a path.
Therefore, a silver Gong was enough.
But if he went directly to Centurion Zhou’s house to capture him, he would probably be driven to desperation. Xu Qi ‘an had just perford the heaven and earth single blade slash, and his combat strength had dropped significantly, so he needed the company of two silver gongs.
.....
On the other side, Lu Qing was reporting the situation.
“Eunuch Liu, my Lords, if I’m not wrong, there’s a high possibility that the demons are involved in this.”
These words caused the expressions of the officials present to change greatly. Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice also frowned.
An official from the Ministry of Justice didn’t quite believe it and asked, “”Do you have any proof?”
“A few days ago, Lord Xu and I investigated the case of the demons on the great Yellow Mountain devouring the grey households in Taikang County.”
“Demons eat grey households?” Eunuch Liu frowned.
“Yes. In the middle of the year, a demon ca to the river at the foot of Mount Huang and devoured hundreds of local grey households. Your humble servant and Sir Xu dealt with this case together, and we found a clean saltpeter mine on the great Yellow Mountain ...”
Lu Qing explained the saltpeter mine case in detail to the adults present.
This was a very good way to stall for ti. Because what he said was not empty talk, the adults were especially attentive and did not urge him.
so, when I was talking to Lord Xu just now, I analyzed the situation and found that the gunpowder might not have co from the Ministry of Works, but rather, it has sothing to do with the saltpeter mine on the great Yellow Mountain. Lu Qing said.
The officials of the Ministry of Justice and the governnt looked serious. This case actually involved the demon race, which had two camps:The monster tribes in the Northwest and the thousand Monster Kingdom in the South.
The thousand Fey Kingdom in the southern border had long been destroyed in the Jiazi demon-slaying war, and the remaining survivors were struggling on their last breath.
The monster race in the Northwest had ford an alliance with the tribes in the North to resist the great Feng and the kingdoms of the Western regions.
Which demon force was behind the saltpeter mine?
Eunuch Liu looked at magistrate Chen. The latter acknowledged with an “Oh” and began to recite his words to his subordinate, there is indeed such a matter. The governnt office just accepted this case a few days ago. At that ti, Constable Lu was in charge of handling it.
Eunuch Liu’s expression was gloomy,”if the saltpeter mine had been discovered earlier, the Sang Bo case might not have happened.” Why has the case of the demon swallowing people, which happened in the middle of the year, been delayed until now?”
Lu Qing was just about to accuse Taikang County county Magistrate of dereliction of duty and disregard for the life of the gray household, but he was stopped by magistrate Chen with a look.
Old Chen sighed. the demons are powerful. It’s difficult for Taikang County county Magistrate to deal with them.
“I will report this to His Majesty,” eunuch Liu snorted coldly.
Minister sun opened his mouth and glanced at Lu Qing, “”What is Xu Qi ‘an doing?”
He seed to see that Lu Qing was trying to stall for ti, so he went straight to the point and didn’t want her to waste any more ti.
“Even if the demons have gunpowder, how can they hide it from the Imperial Army of Da Feng and the guards of the city?” eunuch Liu muttered.
“This is related to another case.” Lu Qing replied.
“Another case?” Everyone was shocked. The Sang Bo explosion case actually involved so many other incidents?
Lu Qing replied, ” the day before his Majesty paid his respects to his ancestors, the Golden Guard’s little banner officer, Liu Han, died in his ho for no reason. It was also dealt with by Sir Xu and . At the ti, Sir Xu had already speculated that he had been silenced. However, this case does not have any intersection with the saltpeter mine case, so we did not think of this.
The small banner officer of the Golden guards had been killed ... ‘Smuggling gunpowder into sang Bo ...’ Everyone present was smart, and there was no longer any doubt.
“That Xu fellow just ...” The officials from the Ministry of Justice and so of the governnt officials stood up from their chairs.
“Just now, Lord Xu thought of this matter and suddenly understood, so he left in a hurry.” Lu Qing said.
“Order the arrest of all the Centurions of the Golden guards!” Minister sun ordered in a deep voice.
With a crash ... Everyone stood up and rushed out of the eting hall, not even caring if they knocked over the chairs.
At this point in the case analysis, it was already very clear that capturing the Golden guards ‘internal saucers was equivalent to making a major contribution.
