Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 264



264 The trust between people (1)

“You’re early.” Provincial governor Zhang chuckled and left with Jiang Luzhong.

Xu Qi ‘an did not follow them. Instead, he called for three warlocks in white who did not like to eat at the same table as the Warriors, so they had their breakfast in their rooms.

“Young master Xu, you’re here.”

The three white-robed warlocks stood up in a hurry and respectfully invited Xu Qi ‘an to take a seat.

“I have something to ask you …” “Other than the three of you, who else from the Directorate of Celestials came to Yunzhou?” Xu Qi ‘an asked after some thought.

In order to increase the sense of acknowledgment, he specially said,”we, the Directorate of Celestials.”

“There’s no one else, just the three of us,” the three white-robed men looked at each other.

“Are you looking down on me?” Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened.

“… Young master Xu, what are you saying? it’s really just the three of us.” The white-robed Warlock explained.

He wondered if using aura observation would work on warlocks … ‘I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine … “Got it,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

He was just thinking that his three little brothers would not lie to him. Moreover, warlocks definitely had a way to hide their own fate energy. After all, they were professionals.

“There are officials visiting provincial governor Zhang now. The three of you, keep an eye on them from upstairs. Check the changes in their fate and then give me a reply.”

After that, Xu Qi ‘an took the three white-shirted men and hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

….

In the main hall, Governor Zhang received officials of all levels in White Emperor City. Basically, those of a high enough rank in the city were all gathered here.

With such a huge commotion last night, as long as one wasn’t blind or deaf, it was impossible to not know. Not to mention these officials in the city who were closely watching the governor’s every move.

After some small talk, envoy song, who was wearing a red robe, went straight to the point, “”I heard from the soldiers this morning that the governor went straight to the commander’s office last night and captured Sir yang?”

Emissary song, who had slightly high cheekbones and squinted his eyes when he smiled, was now staring at provincial governor Zhang with his eyes wide open.

The other officials were the same.

yes. Governor Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice, ” the Qi party colluded with the witch God sect to deliver military supplies. I’ve captured him and brought him back to the relay station. We’re currently interrogating him.

“This …” The officials ‘expressions changed slightly.

Emissary song bu frowned, lowered his voice, and said with a heavy heart, “”Lord Governor, please be careful, be careful.”

After a pause, he bent over to get closer to provincial governor Zhang and continued,”Sir yang is the Commander-in-Chief. Does Sir have conclusive evidence? Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to convince the masses.”

Even with the authority of a provincial governor, if he wanted to touch a commander of the second rank, he had to have conclusive evidence. Without evidence, it would be taboo to arrest someone.

First of all, Yunzhou’s officials would not agree. Second, the guard Bureau under the command of the commander’s office would not agree.

The former was still fine, at most they would just talk a little, but the latter was a group of Bingy ruffians (author’s note:Soldiers and ruffians can not be associated.

The evidence had to be brought out. Without an explanation, there would be trouble. However, Governor Zhang was not in a hurry to show the evidence. He smiled,

“Everyone, you’ve been officials in Yunzhou for many years. What do you think of yang Chuannan, the commander of the capital?”

Upon hearing this question, the officials expressed their opinions with different expressions.

At the corner of the stairs, Xu Qi ‘an said in a low voice, “”Look, look carefully.”

After a while, he asked again,”which one lied?” The sneaky-looking one on the left, I don’t think he’s reliable. The second one in the back row, he doesn’t look like a good person …”

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the three white-robed warlocks were staring at him silently. Xu Qi ‘an said gloomily, “”What are you looking at me for? speak.”

“None of them are telling the truth …” The white-robed sorcerer mumbled.

Xu Qi ‘an opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything for a while. This was too real. This was what it was like to be an official!

The so-called “not a single word of truth” referred to what the officials present said, which was completely different from what they thought.

However, this did not mean that they were ” werewolves “, because there were too many hypocritical feelings in the officialdom. Out of ten sentences spoken, one sentence was false. In the seer’s Qi observation technique, what was said was false.

There was a limitation to the aura observation technique. He couldn’t be as accurate as a water clock.

Next, Governor Zhang told the officials about the account books, but he didn’t show them to the public.

… The officials exchanged glances. How long had the provincial governor’s team been in Yunzhou? Not even half a year. Three of those days were spent inspecting outside.

But even so, in just a few days, they had managed to find evidence of yang Chuannan’s crimes?

For a moment, all the officials felt a chill in their hearts. Who would dare to say that there was no problem with the 100000 Snow Silver of the Qingzhi Manor in three years?

If Governor Zhang were to make a move against them, none of them would be able to escape.

An official swallowed his saliva and asked, “”The governor has many talented people under him. I wonder which Lord made such a great contribution?”

As he spoke, he glanced at the night watchmen around him.

The other officials silently examined the night watchman, all guessing.

Emissary song bu’s eyes flashed and he smiled, “”I remember that Tong Luo, who is proficient in farming, did not accompany the provincial governor for the inspection that day.”

His words reminded everyone. The high-ranking officials immediately searched for Xu Qi ‘an’s figure.

Some of them looked at Governor Zhang.

“That’s right, it’s this person!” Governor Zhang nodded.

In fact, with the intelligence of the officials present, even if they were not as sure as Governor Zhang, they would have guessed it. There weren’t many people who stayed behind to guard the relay station, but there was that Gong. His position wasn’t high, but he could sit beside the governor.

He recalled that the other night watchmen’s sabers were different from other night watchmen’s. It was not difficult to guess that the copper Gong named Xu Qi ‘an had strong professional abilities and was one of the important figures in the Inspector-General team this time.

“Cough, cough!”

Xu Qi ‘an appeared at the right time. After a cough, he stood silently behind provincial governor Zhang.

Back then, he had already noticed that he was different. He did not expect that the dignified commander would actually fall into the hands of a Gong …

There was both wariness and respect in the eyes of many officials.

….

In the corridor on the second floor, li Miaozhen pressed her hands on the railing and looked down at the people below. She heard Su Su pouting,”You only know how to show off.”

From their angle, they could see the hiding figures of Xu Qi ‘an and the white-robed sorcerer.

Just now, the credit for solving the case was vaguely pointed out by emissary song bu, and after Governor Zhang admitted it, the stinky man quickly tidied up his appearance and appeared in an awe-inspiring manner.

Susu didn’t know the word ” pretentious “, or she would have accurately grasped the adjective.

“It’s only human nature for men to want a good reputation.”

Li Miaozhen’s opinion of Xu Qi ‘an was gradually changing. She felt that other than being lecherous, there was nothing to be picky about. He was upright, had a nice way of speaking, and was good at solving cases with outstanding abilities.

“You seem to have a prejudice against him, but you don’t really hate him.” Li Miaozhen glanced at the female ghost and frowned.

“You used to look down on men, but now you’ve become enemies with him.”

Susu refused to admit it. I’m just angry, ” she hurriedly explained. but master, you seem to have a good impression of him.

“Xu Qi ‘an is a good person,” li Miaozhen admitted.

“He promised me last night that he would help me reforge my body, but he had one condition,” Su Su said.

“What condition?”

“I’ll be his concubine for a few years,”

“… Xu Qi ‘an is indeed a bad person and is beyond redemption.”

After the discussion ended, the officials accompanied Governor Zhang to the commander’s office to check the accounts and confirm the authenticity of the account books.

Xu Qi ‘an was an outsider to the audit of accounts, so he did not join in the fun. He was arranged to stay at the courier station and watch over yang Chuannan with the other night watchmen.

After everyone had left, Xu Qi ‘an stood in the hall and looked up at the two beauties on the second floor. He smiled and said, ”

“When are you two leaving? You’re not trying to kidnap yang Chuannan while Jiang Jinluo is not here, right?”

“Master is the saintess of the heavenly sect and the swordswoman of the flying Swallow. She always keeps her promises,” Su Su snorted.

Xu Qi ‘an shrugged. trust between people is actually very fragile. It’s like paper. It’ll break with a poke.

Su Su retorted loudly.

“If you don’t believe me, come down. I’ll verify it for you.” Xu Qi ‘an waved.

Susu held onto the railing and flew to the hall. She stood in front of Xu Qi ‘an.

Pfft … Xu Qi ‘an poked her chest with a finger, as if she was tearing a piece of paper.

you, stinky man. I’m going to kill you. Su Su was furious.

“See, I was right.”

Susu kept spitting out Yin Qi to attack Xu Qi ‘an, but once a martial artist was on guard, he was far better at close combat than other systems. Therefore, every breath of Yin Qi was dodged nimbly. On the contrary, holes kept appearing on her body, such as her chest, lower waist, lower abdomen …

This body was soon broken.

Li Miaozhen had to take out a new paper figurine as SuSu’s possession. Ghosts had no physical body and were exposed to the sun in the day. If it was light, it would be greatly damaged, and if it was serious, it would be turned into ashes.

There were Taoist talismans drawn on the paper figurines, which could warm ghosts and seal Yin Qi.

“Eh, General Li has a paper man with him? Where did you hide it?” Xu Qi ‘an pretended to be confused.

“I naturally have my own methods.” Li Miaozhen said.

“What means? The legendary mustard seed in a flash?” Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were wide open, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

What is a mustard seed in a flash … Li Miaozhen was stunned at first, but then she felt very satisfied with Xu Qi ‘an’s admiration. She nodded and said, ”

“It can be considered a similar spell.”

“General Li is indeed the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed in admiration.

Li Miaozhen replied with a reserved “yes.”

…. “Keep pretending. Isn’t it just fragments of the Book of the Netherworld? the more you store now, the more you’ll die in the future. Xu Qi ‘an smiled from the bottom of her heart.

At noon, Xu Qi ‘an called the two beauties to finish their meal. He estimated that the provincial governor Zhang would be back soon.

In the end, the provincial governor did not arrive. Instead, a soldier who was guarding the city rushed into the courier station and shouted, “”I have an important matter to discuss with the governor!”

The Tiger guard stopped him and scolded, “”You are not allowed to enter the relay station.”

The soldiers guarding the city were anxious and shouted, “”Governor, I have an extremely urgent matter to see you about.”

The commotion in the courtyard had alerted the night watchman in the courier station. A silver Gong came out with two copper gongs and frowned.”The governor is not here, he has something to tell me.”

The city guard swallowed his saliva and said anxiously, “”The troops of the Secretary of guard have gathered outside the southern part of the city. They threatened to enter the city if the governor doesn’t go out to see them.”
