Chapter 252

252 Return (1)

‘Comfortable …’ Xu Qisan went upstairs feeling refreshed, leaving his two colleagues some time to calm down.

I should be under the car, not in the car. I should be seeing how sweet you two are … Kukuku, hahaha!” He laughed wildly as he went upstairs.

“Xu ningyan, you deserve a thousand cuts!”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s angry roars could be heard from behind.

In the next few days, Xu Qi ‘an experienced the aftereffects of their friendship being overturned. Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao used cold violence on him and ignored him, treating him like he was invisible.

Xu Qi ‘an took the initiative to talk to them, but they pretended not to hear him and continued to do their own things.

Did you have a mental breakdown and feel that you don’t have the face to talk to me, or are you venting your anger on me? It was definitely the former … That was what Xu Qi ‘an thought.

So, during lunch, Xu Qi ‘an took the initiative to talk to him. “I’ve already forgotten what happened in the teahouse. I won’t laugh at you anymore.”

“What?” Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were furious.

Miss susu toyed with our feelings, and you toyed with our friendship. Who is the victim here?

“It was you two who couldn’t control it and fell into the Mei’s illusion. Are you blaming me?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at them indignantly.

“Why should I hide it from you? You still have the nerve to ask? if I expose you on the spot, you two will have to jump off the building. You see, if it wasn’t for li Miaozhen, wouldn’t this matter be covered up?

none of you are embarrassed. Guangxiao doesn’t know that tingfeng used his little brother to bang against a pillar for fifteen minutes. Tingfeng, you don’t know how strong guangxiao’s back was when he was leaning on the table.

“Don’t, don’t say anymore …” Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao covered their faces.

In fact, if they were exposed on the spot, elder song and elder Zhu would be embarrassed for a while at most. They would not be as embarrassed as they were now, where they wanted to roll on the ground and feel ashamed.

Every time he thought of the words he had said in front of Xu ningyan, the feelings he had expressed, what he would marry no one but her, what he would regret for life … Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao wished they could commit seppuku and leave this dark world.

Song tingfeng turned around and sneered, “”I don’t have a friend like you. From that day on, we’ve broken all ties.”

“Me too,” Zhu guangxiao said in a deep voice.

“Don’t mess around. How can a mere female ghost shake our friendship?” Xu Qi ‘an saw that the two of them were unmoved and said with a cold face, ”

“At worst, I’ll go back to the capital and invite you to the Imperial Academy.”

“You think a mere Academy can bribe me and guangxiao?” song tingfeng said with a look of disdain.

“Two times,” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.

“Get lost, don’t talk to me,” song tingfeng snorted.

“Three times,” Xu Qian said painfully.

Song tingfeng chuckled.

“Five times!” Xu Qi ‘an gritted his teeth and said.

Song tingfeng grabbed his sleeve tightly, “”Then you can write a written pledge.”

After the boat of friendship had capsized for three days, it was finally on the right track. They were brothers, after all. How could they really fall out over a small conflict? Treating them to a meal was just to give them a way out, and the main reason was that their friendship was sincere enough … This was said by song tingfeng.

Xu Qi ‘an agreed and said,”then let’s forget about the Imperial Academy.”

“Cut ties!” Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao said in unison.

As he spoke, he waved the receipt in his hand.

“Also …” Zhu guangxiao looked at him. we can’t let susu … If that female ghost’s matter is leaked, no one can tell.”

“You can’t use this matter to make fun of us in the future.” Song tingfeng added.

“No problem. I will definitely, definitely not …” Xu Qi ‘an quickly turned her head and covered her face. After a few seconds, she turned back.”I definitely won’t make fun of you.”

“What were you laughing at just now?”

“I’m not laughing.”

“You’re smiling,”

I’m really not laughing. I’ve been strictly trained. I won’t laugh no matter how funny it is.

…..

In the military camp outside White Emperor City.

Li Miaozhen sat in the tent and listened to SuSu’s report, “”Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao spend most of their time in the relay station. Occasionally, they would get tired of the relay station’s food and go out to find a restaurant.

they were in a group of two. Xu Qi ‘an was not involved. He acted alone. Every time he went out, he would go to the brothel.

“He would stay at the brothel for two hours almost every day before returning to the relay. During this period, he did not go to any Yamen, nor did he investigate Zhou Fu’s case.

mm, there are signs that Zhou Qu’s grave has been moved. Based on the time, it should have been on the day the Imperial inspector’s team arrived at White Emperor City …

For the past few days, susu had taken on the role of a hidden Sentry, keeping an eye on the courier station’s every move. As long as Xu Qi ‘an’s group of three came out, she would secretly follow them.

Martial artists could not sense Yin Qi, let alone see ghosts. As long as they kept a good distance, susu would not be discovered.

“Anything else unusual?” Li Miaozhen asked.

Abnormal? ‘Isn’t it abnormal for Xu Qi’ an to pick up silver every day …’ Su Su muttered in her heart, but she knew that li Miaozhen was asking about Zhou Jing. She shook her head.

“No, they seem to be waiting for the governor to return before investigating Zhou Qu’s case.”

The Qi party had already sent a letter to inform them of Wei Yuan’s impeachment of Yunzhou’s commander yang Chuannan. Everyone in Yunzhou’s officialdom was well aware of why the provincial governor’s team had come.

Li Miaozhen pulled out the stopper of a porcelain bottle and summoned a ghost living in the bottle. It was a tall and thin middle-aged scholar.

“I say, you write!”

“Yes, master,”

With the information that li Miaozhen had obtained from the inside of the Heaven and Earth Society, she believed that she had a rather intuitive understanding of Xu Qi ‘an. He was very good at investigating cases and had rich experience.

If he really did have any clues or the correct direction, he would not have wasted so many days in the relay. After all, the longer the case dragged on, the fewer clues there would be.

This meant that Xu Qi ‘an was also helpless.

Not long after, a letter was written and Li Miaozhen handed it to Su Su, “”Send the letter to yang Chuannan.”

“Alright!” Susu held the letter and walked out of the tent, swaying her small waist.

She stopped in front of the thick curtain and turned her head. She frowned and had a pitiful expression.(?????)

“If you have something to say, just say it.” Li Miaozhen said in a bad mood.

“Master, won’t you avenge me? That stinky brat humiliated me. ” Su Su complained unwillingly.

“I’ll just lock you up for a day.” Li Miaozhen waved her hand and refused the female ghost’s subordinate’s request.

Women were narrow-minded. The more beautiful a woman was, the more narrow-minded she was. Li Miaozhen had never been able to understand this.

She preferred to drink and eat big bowls of wine and meat. She liked to lead troops to suppress bandits and live a military life. To put it bluntly, it was … A straight man’s mentality.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Su Su left in a fit of pique.

…..

In the Qing Ping County on the outskirts of White Emperor City, the largest restaurant in the county.

The restaurant was fully booked today. As the last stop of this inspection, a sumptuous lunch was prepared.

After lunch, the three big shots, Governor Zhang, Yang Chuannan and song Changfu, led by more than ten senior officials of Yunzhou, exchanged their thoughts after the inspection in the private room of the restaurant.

Provincial governor Zhang took the opportunity to fly into a rage and berated the officials for being useless, allowing the bandits to multiply and develop, causing the increase of refugees in Yunzhou and the depression of the People’s lives.

“The governor’s words have really made me blush with shame.” Emissary song buzheng said in embarrassment.

according to the secret report, the bandits in Yunzhou are because someone is secretly supporting them by delivering military supplies. Provincial governor Zhang said pointedly, ”

“There are some people who live off of the emperor’s wealth, but do things that steal the country.”

All the officials looked at the commander yang Chuannan, who was silent. No one spoke up for him, and instead, they all expressed their support for Governor Zhang’s strict investigation.

Yang Chuannan did not express his opinion. He sat there unmoving like a mountain, allowing the group of people to speak in a strange tone.

During the inspection period, the atmosphere of isolating and suppressing yang Chuannan in the entire Yunzhou’s bureaucracy was cultivated.

At this moment, a general knocked on the door and entered. He was yang Chuannan’s trusted aide. He glanced coldly at the officials and handed yang Chuannan a secret letter before turning to leave.

Yang Chuannan opened the envelope and read it. A smile bloomed on his serious and silent face. He kept the envelope and said with a smile, ”

“I also support the provincial governor. The investigation must be strict and can not be tolerated. There are many capable people under the provincial governor, I think he will be able to find out the truth soon.”

Governor Zhang frowned and his gaze fell on the letter in yang Chuannan’s hand. The other officials were the same. They all tried to guess what was written in the letter, which gave yang Chuannan a sudden boost in confidence.

On the way back to white Emperor City, Imperial inspector Zhang lifted the curtain and coughed hard.

Jiang Luzhong, who was in front, turned around and tacitly slowed down his horse to run parallel to the carriage.

“I suddenly have a bad feeling …” Provincial governor Zhang looked at Jin Luo, who had made almost no contribution to the investigation.

“Is it because yang Chuannan has suddenly become arrogant?” Jiang Luzhong nodded in realization.

“Hmm,” provincial governor Zhang replied. The inspection this time was a foreshadowing and a test. The purpose was to separate Yunzhou’s officialdom and prepare for his arrest of yang Chuannan.

If Yunzhou’s officials were of one mind, then he would have to carefully formulate a plan. If they were not of the same mind, they would find a way to isolate yang Chuannan and get the support of the officials in Yunzhou.

In this regard, Governor Zhang was very confident, because during the banquet when he first arrived in Yunzhou, Governor song had already vaguely revealed some information.

Everything was going very smoothly. With the cooperation of provincial governor Zhang and emissary song bu, they gave a signal that “we’re preparing to deal with yang Chuannan” to the officials, forcing them to pick a side.

However, after receiving the letter, yang Chuannan seemed to have suddenly regained his confidence. He no longer kept silent and even laughed at him.

He did not know what the other party was relying on … Provincial governor Zhang rubbed his brows.

no matter what, as long as the governor solves the official problems, I’ll handle the martial arts, and Xu Qi ‘an will handle the investigation. Jiang Luzhong held the reins of his horse and consoled.

“We can only place our hopes on ningyan. I hope he can solve the puzzle as soon as possible and find the evidence left behind by Zhou qu.” Governor Zhang muttered to himself and nodded.

“What kind of stupid code is this? Zhou Fu is just playing with us.” Jiang Luzhong cursed.

Governor Zhang’s heart sank when he heard this.

The large group hurried back to white Emperor City before sunset. In the Golden afterglow, Governor Zhang led the large group of people toward the relay station.

The curfew had just been implemented not long ago, and the streets had been cleared. It should have been impossible to go out, but this was not the capital. The provincial governor was the highest official in Yunzhou, and the curfew could not restrict him.

The messengers of the relay station had received the news in advance and knew that the governor was returning today. They were busy preparing dinner.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the courier station. Governor Zhang stepped on the wooden bench laid out by his attendants and got off the carriage. The few copper gongs who had stayed behind to guard the courier station were waiting in the courtyard, including Xu Qi ‘an and the other two.

Provincial governor Zhang was worried about yang Chuannan’s reaction. When he saw Xu Qi ‘an, he was shocked,”What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were bloodshot. The dark circles under her eyes were not black anymore, but they were blue and black, and slightly swollen. It gave people the feeling that it would be Gone with the Wind at any time, transforming into a feather and ascending to heaven.

Jiang Luzhong strode over and examined Xu Qi ‘an with rapt attention.”How many days has it been?”

“It’s been 15 days,” Xu Qi ‘an said, depressed.

“…””How’s his condition now?” old Jiang gasped.

“It’s alright. I’ll probably pass away at any time.” Xu Qi ‘an said mischievously.

This kid’s primordial spirit had such great potential? When he advanced to the spirit-forging stage, to what extent would his primordial spirit advance?

Warriors in the spirit-refining realm would have extremely sensitive spiritual power. No movement in the surroundings could escape their senses, especially if it was hostile.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for a spirit forging stage martial artist to be ambushed. At the same time, essence, Qi, and spirit would merge and complement each other, increasing one’s combat power by a level.

When the two of them were done reminiscing, Governor Zhang held back his curiosity and asked,”Ningyan, do you have any information on Zhou Jing’s Secret code?”

“I’ve already got the account book.” Xu Qi ‘an answered calmly.

Governor Zhang was very calm after hearing this. He nodded and said,”Don’t be discouraged, we’ll be able to solve the secret code eventually …”

He suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Qi ‘an silently.
