Dafeng’s Night Squad



207 Chapter 180-group chat (added for “big brother takes me flying”) _1

“I know.”

After responding to the attendant, Xu Qi ‘an sat up, lifted the quilt, and began to put on his clothes.

Song tingfeng opened his eyes when he noticed the movement of the person beside him. He mumbled and asked, “”Where are you going?”

“I’m going out for a while,” Xu Qi ‘an said in a low voice.

“Yeah,” song tingfeng replied.

At the end of the conversation, the two’s faces suddenly froze, and then they shivered in unison.

“Get lost, get lost,” Song tingfeng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and scolded, “”You’ve disturbed my good dreams.”

After Xu Qi ‘an left, Zhu guangxiao, who had his back to song tingfeng, turned around silently.

….

The moonlight was like water, and the stars were lonely.

The surface of the river was still and silent. Under the moonlight, it rippled like silver scales.

The light in Governor Zhang’s room was on. Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the door. After getting permission, he pushed open the door.

In a not-so-spacious room, provincial governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong sat opposite each other and drank tea. The latter pointed to the seat at the side.”Sit and pour yourself some tea.”

With a goatee and a serious expression, provincial governor Zhang slightly nodded at Xu Qi ‘an.

To this mysterious copper Gong who had appeared in the Imperial court twice and defeated a Minister twice, Governor Zhang treated him with the utmost respect and with a friendly attitude.

Drinking tea in the middle of the night, was he complaining about his sleep quality? Xu Qi ‘an sat down and said in a casual tone, “”Milords, why have you called this humble servant?”

The Imperial Censorate and the night watchman belonged to different Yamen, but they both had the same superior, Wei Yuan. Therefore, Governor Zhang could be considered as one of their own, and Xu Qi ‘an did not need to be too reserved and polite.

“Lord Xu, your ability to solve cases is like a god, and your ability is outstanding. I’ve called you here this late at night to talk about the mission to Yunzhou,” Governor Zhang said with a smile.

“What do you think, my Lord?” Xu Qi ‘an asked after some deliberation.

I’ve already read the file, ” Governor Zhang said. Zhou Qu’s death was flawless. There were no wounds or poisoning. It was a normal death.

“A silent death without any flaws is also a flaw.”

Zhou gan was the spy who had died for no reason.

Jiang Luzhong added,’in all the major systems, only the Taoist sect and the Wizards can do this. According to the feedback from the Minister of Works ‘case, the Qi party is in cahoots with the witch God religion. The murderer is most likely a rank four dream witch.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. First of all, he acknowledged the intelligence of provincial governor Zhang. He was a clear-headed official, not muddleheaded, and knew what he was about to face.

This was very comfortable.

He was afraid that he would encounter a superior who could not accomplish anything but ruin things.

One should not be afraid of a god-like opponent, but of a pig-like teammate. To be honest, Xu Qi ‘an had indeed had such concerns when he saw how weak provincial governor Zhang was.

Secondly, he wanted to confirm Jiang Luzhong’s guess.

Any killing method would leave a clear trace. It was not a clue, but an intuitive impression that made people understand that he was ” killed.

Even if the soul was destroyed with a brilliant method, the deceased would still show a sluggish and terrified facial features.

Only the Taoist sect and the witch God religion could make people die as if they were asleep. It was a very simple reasoning.

“How do you think we should investigate after we reach Yunzhou?” Xu Qi ‘an humbly asked for advice.

He was good at investigating cases, but he was a layman when it came to social operations in the officialdom.

“Zhou Fu is an experienced spy. He won’t keep important evidence with him. What we need to do is to find the evidence he’s hiding. Lord Xu, you are an expert in this, so I hope that you will put in a lot of effort when the time comes.”

The provincial governor said seriously. He trusted Xu Qi ‘an’s professional ability.

“I’ll try my best.” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of a problem. He frowned and said, “”Yang Chuannan is the Commander-in-Chief of Yunzhou, and he holds great power in the military and government. At that time, we’ll be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.”

Officials who held military power were different from those in the capital. The six guards and three Imperial Military camps were all under the control of the imperial family, and civil officials were powerless to resist.

However, as the commander of a state, he had military power in his hands. How could he let others do as they pleased?

this is a risk that we have to take. Jiang Jinluo and I will handle it. You just have to follow my orders. Provincial governor Zhang took over the burden.

“When I reach Yunzhou, I might be able to get some help.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“A helper?” Governor Zhang asked in a questioning tone.

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Xu Qi ‘an did not dare to make any guarantees.

Governor Zhang nodded and didn’t take it to heart.

“Lord Zhang, how much do you know about Yunzhou?” “I’m referring to the bandits,” Xu Qi ‘an said after some deliberation.

Provincial governor Zhang muttered to himself for a moment before he slowly said,”There’s a reason why the cloud region is called the bandit region. This left a mark in the history books. I have to start from the ‘cleansing of the emperor’s side’ five hundred years ago …”

Xu Qi ‘an did not know about the history of Emperor Wuzong’s usurping of the throne. He only understood it after the Sang Bo case.

“Back then, Emperor Wu Zong led his Army to attack the capital … After that, they quickly pacified the various provinces, but they encountered intense resistance from the general of Yunzhou. At that time, the commander of Yunzhou was a famous general who was good at using troops and defending cities. Even with Emperor Wu Zong’s military strategy, he was unable to conquer Yunzhou in a short time.

“The two armies faced each other and fought a protracted war for several years. The people were fighting so hard that they couldn’t live, so they might as well become bandits.

“There are many mountain ranges in Yunzhou, which are easy to defend and hard to attack. In addition, the land is fertile, which has become a breeding ground for mountain bandits and grass bandits. When the Emperor Wu Zong recovered Yunzhou, he realized that Yunzhou was already filled with bandits.

“A bitter battle that lasted for several years caused the great Feng Army to be greatly weakened and unable to suppress the bandits. Emperor Wu Zong had no choice but to return to the Imperial court, planning to settle the accounts after he had recuperated.

“After that, the Imperial court organized several Raider raids, and each time, they paid a huge price. When a group of bandits in Yunzhou was exterminated, another group would appear, and they would be reborn in the spring breeze. In the end, it became a paradise for wanted criminals of the Imperial court and the scum of the martial world.”

“It’s hard to leave the grave,” Governor Zhang said with emotion.

So it was a problem left behind by history … If the founding Emperor didn’t resolve this matter, it was almost impossible for the emperors of the later generations to resolve it. On one hand, he was not capable enough, and on the other hand, it was inevitable that he was content with enjoying himself. Xu Qi ‘an nodded slightly to show that he understood.

The three of them talked for a long time before leaving.

…..

Returning to his room, as expected, Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng were woken up again. The five senses of a master in the Qi refining realm were very sharp, and they would be alerted by any movement.

The two colleagues did not care and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t sleep. He lit the oil lamp, sat at the table, and took out a small Jade Mirror.

[ 3: on the 2nd, I just received news that the Imperial court has sent an Inspector-General to Yunzhou. ]

Sending messages in the middle of the night was indeed a little immoral. The members of The Earth Book chat group were all awakened. Each of them took out the fragments of The Earth Book with different emotions and checked the messages.

[ 5: number 3, you’re so annoying. Don’t disturb my sleep in the middle of the night. ]

The wild girl from the southern border sent a letter of protest.

The others didn’t send any messages and just silently watched.

[ 2. Is it related to the Qi party? ]

[ three: smart. The night watchman planted a spy in the commander’s office and found out that Yunzhou’s commander, yang Chuannan, was secretly assisting the mountain bandits, delivering military supplies, and raising the bandits for self-respect. [ by the way, this yang Chuannan is the Qi party’s representative in Yunzhou. ]

[ two: that’s impossible. I don’t know if yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi party, but I know he’s definitely not someone who nurtures bandits to feed himself or someone who supplies military supplies to the mountain bandits. ]

Number two’s reaction was a little intense … She knew yang Chuannan and their relationship was quite good?

Xu Qi ‘an was glad that he didn’t vouch for him in front of the provincial governor, or he would have screwed up. At the same time, he was secretly on guard. When he arrived in Yunzhou, he had to pay attention to his identity and not expose it.

First, lock onto number two’s identity, then observe her (him) relationship with yang Chuannan. It was to confirm if No. 2 was a Wolf or a commoner.

[ four: nothing is impossible. The Minister of Works has fallen. He should at least say something. ] Number two, think about it. The Qi party colluded with the witchcraft religion and secretly supported the mountain bandits. However, they were thousands of miles away in the capital. If they wanted to do things, they needed a spokesperson.

[ as long as we can prove that yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi party, he will definitely not be innocent. ]

[ 2: I’m a good judge of character. Yang Chuannan is not that kind of person. ]

…. Was number two so subjective? It felt like a woman, and women were usually emotional and subjective. Xu Qi ‘an cursed in his heart but didn’t say it out loud. After all, if number two was a female boxer, she would be trembling with anger now.

[ 5: No. 3, why do you always have so much information? [ the broker that sells information? ]

Number five couldn’t help but complain. She was a little discouraged. It wasn’t easy for her to ” sell ” the news of the Gu God’s recovery, and now everyone owed her a debt.

And from time to time, number three would throw out heavy news in the group.

Everyone tacitly chose to ignore number Five’s meaningless words.

Xu Qi ‘an teasingly replied, [ hey, No. 1 should have known about this long ago. Didn’t No. 1 tell you? ] [ tsk, tsk. Number one, you’re wrong. ]

Number one’s schemes ran deep. A person who didn’t speak was always the most sinister and profound.

[ one: get lost. ]

Xu Qi ‘an thought that number one would ignore him, but he didn’t expect his reaction to be so intense. He opened his mouth and started to talk.

I didn’t offend number one, right? It was just a casual joke, was there a need for such an intense reaction?

Xu Qi ‘an was a little confused and angry. She ignored number one and sent a message, “[ number two, if you don’t believe me, you can cooperate with the investigation when the Imperial inspector arrives. [ if yang Chuannan is innocent, we can prove his innocence. ]

[ two: okay. ]

Just like that, No. 2 was tied to the tank! Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction.

[ two: by the way, how is Emperor Yuan jing’s physical condition? ]

[ three: your body should be fine. Why are you asking this? ]

[ two: bah, the Taoist Reverend is blind. Why is the old Emperor not dead yet? ]

The Taoist Reverend had no eyes? Number two is an old nationalistic youth. I’m getting more and more curious about his (her) identity. If I find out that you’re an official … Xu Qi ‘an chuckled three times.

After successfully ” greeting ” No. 2, Xu Qi ‘an remembered the second purpose of opening the group chat.

[ three: by the way, I don’t seem to have told you the true body of the sealed artifact under sang Bo. ]

The real body of the sealed artifact under the Mulberry Lake?

This time, not to mention the other members of the Heaven and Earth Society, even number five was no longer sleepy, and his spirit was lifted.

….
