Dafeng’s Night Squad



122 A broken lead (1)

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

“Arrest the criminal!” After leaving the meeting 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 some 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 Yamen, 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 time before she finally came 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 me sooner or later … “Miss Caiwei, long time no see. You’ve become 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 something when she remembered her identity and the people watching from the night watchmen’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 medallion and go to the East Gate of the Imperial City to capture Centurion Zhou chixiong.

“The rest of you, follow me 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 arrangement 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 performed 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 came 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 time. 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 come from the Ministry of Works, but rather, it has something to do with the saltpeter mine on the great Yellow Mountain. Lu Qing said.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice and the government 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 formed 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 government office just accepted this case a few days ago. At that time, 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 seemed to see that Lu Qing was trying to stall for time, so he went straight to the point and didn’t want her to waste any more time.

“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 home for no reason. It was also dealt with by Sir Xu and me. At the time, 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 some of the government 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 meeting 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.
