Dafeng's Night Squad

After listening to Heng Hui’s story and watching him die in meditation, his heart was filled with sorrow, so he didn’t care about the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld.

Later, the night watchman came. He knew that he would go to the dungeon, so in order to prevent the mirror from being taken away by the night watchman, it was best for him to stay at the bottom of the well.

Hengyuan’s plan was to retrieve the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld if he had the chance to escape. Perhaps Daoist priest Golden Lotus would pick it up for him.

He didn’t expect it to fall into the hands of the night watchman in the end.

Xu Qi ‘an stared at Hengyuan, waiting for his reply.

The Jade Mirror was given to him by Wei Yuan this morning without any other instructions, but Xu Qi ‘an felt that Wei Yuan wanted him to pass the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld to number six.

Seeing the bald man’s long silence, Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea and said slowly, “”This mirror was found at the bottom of the well, so it’s either yours or Heng Hui’s. Its real name is The Earth Book.”

Hengyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at him. Xu Qi ‘an smiled and said confidently, “”There are many people in the world who don’t know it, but that doesn’t include us night watchmen.”

“This is mine,” Heng Yuan lowered his head and said in a low voice.

“As far as I know, this is a treasure of the earth sect. How could it be in the hands of a monk like you?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

I obtained this magic weapon by chance, ” Hengyuan replied. I hope you can return it.

Xu Qi ‘an shook his head and put away the Jade Mirror. He played with it in his hand and said with a smile, “”Master, I don’t think that’s all? Could the magical treasure of the earth sect be explained by a mere ‘meeting of fate’?

“If you are honest and say something useful, I will let you leave. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life in the dungeon of the night watchman.”

Hengyuan was silent for a moment, then he got up and was about to leave.

“Where are you going?” Xu Qi ‘an asked, frowning.

“I’m going back to the dungeon.”

.... Number six’s character wasn’t bad. He didn’t betray the Heaven and Earth Society. Of course, it could also be because he didn’t suffer any punishment. But that’s not what I want. it’s just a magic weapon, ” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice. why do you have to do this, master? is there anything more precious than freedom in this world? ”

Hengyuan didn’t turn around. He only said, ” my Lord, please help me put my shackles back on.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the clerk who was taking the record. “You can leave first.”

The clerk packed up the paper, brush, and inkstone and left the interrogation room.

Xu Qi ‘an coughed, and his tone turned gentle.”Master, please sit, please sit.”

He stood up and pulled on Hengyuan’s arm, showing his respect.

Hengyuan sat back at the table in a daze. He looked at Tong Gong, who had a 180-degree change in attitude. He did not know what he was planning.

“Sir, I don’t know anything. The Earth Book was indeed obtained by chance.” Hengyuan said helplessly.

.... Don’t be so sure, monks don’t lie, you’ll feel awkward later! “Ning must be number six from the Tiandi society,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a faint smile.

S(°?°||| )

Hengyuan’s eyes widened as he looked at him in shock and confusion. The calm temperament on his face disappeared without a trace, and he was now full of hostility and vigilance.

It was as if as long as Xu Qi ‘an revealed a signal that he was going to harm the heaven and earth Association, he would slap the gong to death and Exchange his life for Xu Qi’ an’s.

Xu Qi ‘an lowered his voice and said with his head on the table, “”I am Xu Qi ‘an, a spy that the Yun Lu Academy had placed in the night watchman’s Yamen.

“The fragments of the book of the nether world were not found by the Yamen. I fished them out from the bottom of the well, and I also brought people to find you. And all of this was ordered by number three. He’s my superior.”

Number three? Hengyuan fell into a deep shock. He did not immediately deny or doubt Tong Gong’s words, because at that moment, he thought of something.

number three is a student from the Yun Lu Academy. He has revealed more than once that the Academy has planted people in the various government offices of the Imperial court ... As the Orthodox School of Confucianism that had once ruled the Imperial court, such behavior was very normal ...

“After the Sang Bo case happened, number three also mentioned the details of the Sang Bo case in the internal letter of the Heaven and Earth Society ... There were indeed spies from the Yun Lu Academy in the night watchman’s office ...

“But how did No. 3 know my location? That’s right, the Golden Lotus Daoist knows who each of us is. Heng Hui was with me at that time, and the Golden Lotus Daoist would definitely avoid conflict with Heng Hui, so he could only ask for help from others. The best person to ask for help was No. 3, who was in charge of the Sang Bo case and had spies in the Yamen.

I owe number three another life. Number three is indeed a scholar. He’s a chivalrous and trustworthy friend. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to repay this karma in the future. Thinking of this, Heng Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qi ‘an with no hostility. He asked gently, “”What else DID number three say?”

“He said that the spring examinations are approaching and that he is unable to leave the Yun Lu Institute. If he were to encounter similar trouble in the future, he might not be able to rescue them in time. So, let me get in touch with Grandmaster. If Grandmaster needs any help in the future, please feel free to look for me. ”

Xu Qi ‘an added in his heart,”if I need anything, I can look for you. It’s not like I’ll expose number three’s identity.” At least not in the short term.

He didn’t want to reveal himself for the time being. First of all, the image he had established was a little exaggerated. The members of the heaven and earth Association all felt that he was a top elite of Yun Lu Academy, a talented scholar with great knowledge.

In the end, he realized that number three was clearly just a Gong.

Secondly, he had to keep a card up his sleeve and not expose his true identity. This was equivalent to leaving a lot of room for manipulation.

In any case, to Hengyuan, it didn’t make much of a difference whether I was a night watchman or a student of the Yun Lu Academy. I’m not lying.

Hengyuan nodded and took the fragment of the book from the handsome Gong. “In the future, if you need my help, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Master, I’ll take you out now.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled and waved his hand.

After sending off Hengyuan, Xu Qi ‘an returned to the hall of spring breeze. Lu Qing and the other constables from the Yamen no longer came to the Yamen, because they knew that Xu Qi’ an would probably make up for his mistake by killing Princess Ping Yang.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were meditating in the side hall, while Li Yuchun was packing up. Every piece of furniture had to be arranged neatly.

“Boss, I’ll help you ...”

“Don’t, don’t move.” stop! Li Yuchun immediately shouted. I’ll do it myself. I can do it myself.

Xu Qi ‘an sat down at the table and said, “”After the case is over, let’s go to the Imperial Academy for a drink. It’s my treat.”

“Oh. the Academy ...” Li Yuchun was a little hesitant.

“Boss, don’t tell me you’ve never been to the Imperial Academy?” Xu Qi ‘an found the spot and winked at her.

In this era, men of status had never been to the Imperial Academy ... It was so rare that it was as rare as Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life when the female doctor was still a Virgin, and the 30-year-old male doctor never used his hands to show off.

They were all rare in the world.

...

“What’s there to go to in such a foul place?” Li Yuchun shook his head. the three of them will be executed at noon today. Do you want to go and watch? ” he asked.

no! Xu Qi ‘an quickly shook his head. I can’t stand that kind of scene.

Li Yuchun gave him a puzzled look.

Beheading was a common occurrence in Da Feng. Not to mention the fact that a group of officials from the capital had been dragged to the entrance of the Caishi market for beheading, even the death row criminals who were executed after autumn were enough for the common people to get familiar with each other at first, second, and third time to eat and watch.

There was no psychological pressure at all.

“I’m not going anyway.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The scene of hundreds of people being beheaded was still too much of an impact on him, and he wouldn’t be able to sleep. This was even after he had a few years of criminal investigation experience and had seen many bloody murder documents. If it was an ordinary person, they would probably have a psychological shadow.

.....

At noon, Caishikou.

More than a hundred people knelt on the execution platform. The first two were Minister of War Zhang Feng and his son Zhang Yi.

They wore white prison uniforms and their eyes were covered with black cloth, waiting for death. Thousands of civilians were gathered around, looking on in three layers.

...

Not everyone liked to see cruel and bloody scenes, even though in the eyes of the people, those who were beheaded were all criminals who had committed the most heinous crimes. It was mainly because the Imperial court had adopted a half-forced, half-encouraging policy toward ‘onlookers’. Some people had no choice but to come and were forced to.

The reason was simple. He wanted to promote the dignity of the Imperial court and intimidate the people.

“Slash!” The executive officer took a look at the sundial and then threw out the order.

As death descended upon them, the blindfolded relatives cursed and swore at the Minister of War, Zhang Feng, for harming others and himself. They would not let him off even if he became a ghost.

The executioners raised their knives high, and heads rolled off one after another. The blood splattered everywhere in an exaggerated manner, and the thick smell of blood could even be smelled by the commoners on the outskirts.

After that, he executed two more batches of death row criminals, who were the family members of the count of Ping Yuan and sun Zhongming.

Heng Yuan, who was standing outside the crowd, turned around and left. He came to watch the execution for two reasons:

The first was to settle the karma for his Junior Brother, Heng Hui, so he came to see the enemy beheaded. The second was to calm his own obsession and avoid the emergence of inner demons in the future.

Heng Hui was the junior Brother that he had brought up, and he was like a disciple. An eye for an eye, this matter was over.

.....

“Master Shen Shu ... You’re awake?”

In the side hall, Xu Qi ‘an summoned Shen Shu while practicing Qi, but he still didn’t get a reply from the senior monk.

He seems to be able to sense my thoughts. Is it the mind-reading ability of the Buddhist sect? His mind-reading ability should not be able to read memories ... No matter what, he had been sleeping most of the time, which was a good thing.

As Xu Qi ‘an was thinking, his heart throbbed. He opened his eyes and saw that his two colleagues were breathing with their eyes closed. He took out his Jade Mirror and read the letter.

[ 6: everyone, I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern. ]

[ 5: is the sixth really the sixth? Could it be a night watchman in disguise? ]

Number five was the first to question. At first glance, he looked like a cautious person, but he was actually the stupidest.

[ four: heh, if it was fake, Daoist priest Golden Lotus would have given us a warning long ago. [ number five, what you should be thinking about is whether or not number six has been incited by the night watchman. ]

Number four was indeed a scholar and had once been a high-ranking official. Her mind was sharp ... Xu Qi ‘an clicked his tongue.

[ 5: then, number six, have you been instigated to defect? ]

[ six: I’m doing very well. I just want to thank number three and Golden Lotus Daoist priest for saving me. ]

[ 9: no need to thank me. Your Junior Brother doesn’t have the intention to kill you. ]

[ 4: how’s the progress of the Sang Bo case? ]

Seeing this, Xu Qi ‘an waited for a moment, but No. 1 didn’t send him a message. He entered the information:[ the Sang Bo case is over, but it’s not over yet. ]

[ 4: as expected. ]

[ 5: what do you mean? what do you mean by ” as expected “? how did the Sang Bo case end? how did you say it didn’t end? ]

[ four: ha, let number three explain. I think he can explain it more clearly than me. ]

Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment and chose to accept number Four’s bag. He entered the information:[ it’s very simple. The real purpose of the Sang Bo case was to lead to the case of the princess of Ping Yang. Heng Hui, with his sealed artifact, wreaked havoc in the inner city and destroyed the residence of the count of Ping Yuan is the best proof.

[ at noon today, three of the officials were involved and beheaded at Caishikou. Princess Ping Yang’s case had been closed, and the mastermind had achieved his goal. They would most likely leave the capital with the sealed artifact, and this storm would be over.

[ but the Sang Bo case isn’t over yet. ]

So that’s how it is. Number five suddenly realized and then stabbed number three in the back.[ number three, you’re a big liar. You’re the one who picks up money every day. ]

[ PS: this chapter is from yesterday. Four chapters a week today. ] I’ll follow the fan list and update it one by one. Alliance Masters who don’t have a turn, don’t worry. Stretch your buttocks and wait for my arrival. Or, I can stick out my butt ...

In addition, the typos in the first few chapters have been corrected, thanks to the hard work of the workers. He continued to work hard.
