Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Qinglong Temple

After eating the buns, Xu Qian'an asked Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng to notify the rest of the team to gather in the front yard.

Xu Qian'an's current team: Jinyutang, Zhenxietang, Chunfengtang, Sitianjian Chu Caiwei, and six constables from the government office.

A total of 24 people.

Min Shan and Yang Feng, two silver gongs, are responsible for verifying the production and use records of gunpowder in the Ministry of Industry, which is a tedious and time-consuming task.

Xu Qian'an is sure that the gunpowder is not from the Ministry of Industry, but out of caution, he still has not stopped investigating the Ministry of Industry.

He is leaving Beijing today. Knowing that so many forces are involved in the Sangpo case, Xu Qian'an follows his heart's wishes and tries to bring as many people as possible.

He went to the imperial city first, and the others were stopped outside the imperial city. The only one who could walk hand in hand with him was the foodie Chu Caiwei.

This girl is a frequent visitor to the imperial city. She wants to come and go, and her status is very unusual.

"Did the princess give you a jade pendant?" Xu Qian'an asked.

Chu Caiwei nodded.

"I have one too." Xu Qi'an took out the waist jade given by Princess Lin'an and showed it off proudly.

"It looks familiar... ah, Princess Lin'an's?" Chu Caiwei exclaimed.

"I am Princess Lin'an's person now, and she appreciates me very much. Seeing that the princess did not give me a jade pendant, she quickly gave me one, saying that she valued me more than the princess and was more worthy of her support." Xu Qi'an told the big-eyed girl about what happened yesterday.

"She is so stupid." Chu Caiwei chuckled and laughed at Lin'an.

Don't laugh at your second brother, big brother. How can you laugh at Biao Biao... Xu Qi'an echoed, "Yes, not every woman is as smart as Miss Caiwei."

Chu Caiwei's goose face, her smile became sweeter.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the Prince of Huai's Mansion. The title of the King of Zhenbei is the King of Huai, and he is also the younger brother of Emperor Yuan Jing, so the name of the mansion is the Prince of Huai's Mansion.

There are two white marble lions in front of the door, the middle door is two feet high, the golden door nails are arranged in an orderly manner, and the pepper pattern door knockers are larger than those of ordinary princes and nobles.

Xu Qi'an can't think of any other adjectives except high-end and classy.

A row of sharp-armored soldiers stood at the door with solemn expressions.

"I am Xu Qi'an, the chief officer of the Sangpo case appointed by His Majesty. I have something to see the princess, please go and tell her quickly." Xu Qi'an showed his gold medal.

An armored soldier glanced at Xu Qi'an and said in a deep voice: "The princess will not see anyone, please go back."

Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows and was about to blame, but heard the armored soldier sneer and add: "This is also His Majesty's order. Even if the princess wants to see the princess, it depends on our princess's mood.

"Get out quickly, don't take chicken feathers as an arrow."

Xu Qiyan suddenly realized and said "oh", and laughed: "So the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty is chicken feathers... This person blasphemed His Majesty and committed a great crime of disrespect."

He pressed the hilt of the knife behind his waist with one hand and grinned: "I am going to arrest the criminal now. Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed without mercy!"

Clang!

The black gold long knife was unsheathed half an inch, and the aura wave was transmitted.

The guard who ridiculed Xu Qiyan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned slightly pale.

The head of the guard glared at his outspoken subordinate and walked towards Xu Qiyan. As he walked, the armor plates "rustled".

"My lord, the princess is not in the mansion."

"Where did she go?" Xu Qiyan sat on the horse's back and looked down at him.

"I am just a gatekeeper, how can I know the whereabouts of the princess. But she is not in the mansion. She just left the city this morning, and it is only half an hour away from you." The head of the guards said kindly.

Xu Qian'an nodded slightly, and said in a tough attitude: "I am going to arrest the criminal now. If you don't want to be convicted of shielding your colleagues, help me catch this person."

He pointed at the soldier who laughed at him.

"Sir!" The head of the guards was anxious, and he was very angry, but he didn't dare to get angry, and said sincerely: "The princess is indeed not in the mansion."

The guards of the dignified prince's mansion could not give face to ordinary princes and

nobles.

But the other party held the gold medal in his hand and caught the handle of his subordinates, so the head of the guards could only be peaceful.

Xu Qian'an believed it, turned his horse's head, and left with Chu Caiwei.

"Our princess is a bit interesting, even the princess can't stand it. "Xu Qi'an asked with a

smile.

Chu Caiwei lived up to everyone's expectations and didn't notice Xu Qi'an's questioning at all. She answered honestly: "The identity of the princess is very special."

"Why is it special?"

"It's a secret." Chu Caiwei grinned: "Don't ask about these things. It's not good for you."

After that, she frowned and warned: "Don't bribe me with food."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid I can't help it..." she said aggrievedly.

There are three tasks today. The investigation of Zhao County Magistrate's death has had relatively accurate results last night. In the remaining two tasks, the princess did not

complete them.

Xu Qi'an, who had a bad start, felt very angry!

He was a man who was rigorous and serious about his work. His bad mood was definitely not because he was greedy for the princess's beauty and wanted to see her face.

Is the princess special? This specialness is definitely not her appearance, but other things. Since she is so special, why did Emperor Yuan Jing give the beauty to the King of Zhenbei... Or was it because of this specialness that Emperor Yuan Jing gave the beauty to him instead?

Xu Qi'an thought about it for a moment and then put the princess behind him.

The case is already so difficult to handle, and brain cells cannot be wasted on these insignificant trivial matters.

There is a Baifeng Mountain in the western suburbs of Dafeng. It takes more than half an hour

to get there from the west gate.

The name of Baifeng Mountain comes from a white wild bird that lives in the mountain. Its tail feathers are very long, just like a phoenix, hence the name.

However, the white phoenix is almost extinct on the mountain now. It is still the fault of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

One month and one year, a doctor from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau went to Baifeng Mountain to collect herbs. He caught a few white phoenixes and took them home for research. He found that the meat of the white phoenix can strengthen the yang....

When they arrived at the foot of Baifeng Mountain, the knowledgeable Lu Qing smiled and

talked about this.

Song Tingfeng's heart moved, and he hesitated and said: "Boss, I have a friend who is not in good health. I want to catch a few white phoenixes for him."

Min Shan and Min Yinluo glared and said: "At what time, you are still thinking about hunting game. It is urgent. If the case is delayed, who will be responsible?"

Li Yuchun frowned and did not answer.

Xu Qian'an smiled and said: "This time I came to Baifeng Mountain mainly to understand an old story. It is not very urgent. Tingfeng, remember to go and come back quickly."

Min Shan heard this and said shyly: "Master Xu, why don't you let me go with Song Tongluo

so that I can have someone to look after me."

Do we need to look after each other even when we're shooting a bird? Xu Qian'an looked at him and said: "You have a friend too?"

Min Shan felt that all the men were staring at him with a strange look.

Min Yinluo was a little anxious and managed to say after a long while: "It doesn't matter

whether it's aphrodisiac or not, the main thing is to try the taste of a bird that's about to

become extinct."

Everyone laughed. After Xu Qian'an finished laughing, he said with a straight face: "I was just joking. The background of the Sangpo case is very complicated. I don't care where you go in Beijing. Don't leave the team except Beijing."

The winding mountain steps lead all the way to the depths of the forest. At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge memorial archway with a plaque reading "Qinglong Temple". Qinglong Temple is not crowded with pilgrims, but it is not deserted either. Occasionally, you can see nearby people going up the mountain to burn incense.

A luxurious carriage is parked next to the memorial archway, guarded by more than a dozen

armored soldiers.

This car looks very familiar to Xu Qi'an. It is made of golden nanmu, and the details of the

body are wrapped with jade pieces and gold foil. It is the carriage he encountered when he

went to the Jiaofangsi.

The owner of the carriage once asked Xu Qi'an to play pot-tossing and exchanged four hundred taels of gold for a bodhi bracelet.

"By the way, Taoist Jinlian said that the woman in the carriage will have a connection with

me... Who could it be? Golden nanmu is used exclusively for the royal family. The carriages of

the eldest and second princesses are not like this. Is it a princess from the royal family? Or, the emperor's concubine?"

"No, no, no, it is definitely not a concubine. Don't scare yourself."

Even if she is a concubine, she must be a beautiful woman of the same level as my aunt... He

added in his heart.

After tying the horse to the wooden stake beside the memorial archway, leaving a fast hand from the government office and a Tongluo to watch the horse, Xu Qi'an took the night watchman to climb the mountain.

After walking a few steps, Xu Qi'an's feet softened and he stepped on a sachet.

Today, instead of picking up silver, he picked up the sachet instead?

He naturally bent down to pick it up, holding it in his palm to examine it. The sachet was

embroidered with complex cloud patterns, fine workmanship, and expensive materials. It was definitely not something that an ordinary rich girl could afford.

One side of the sachet was embroidered with the golden word "Nan" and the other side was embroidered with the word "Zhi". The golden tassels were tied with beautiful thousands of

knots.

Xu Qi'an smelled a pleasant smell, like perfume, like sandalwood, and like the unique body fragrance of women.

"People in front, wait..." A crisp voice came from behind the crowd.

A girl in a light blue gown caught up with him. She was not afraid of the night watchman's

uniform. She pointed at the sachet in Xu Qi'an's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is what our queen dropped."

She had a maid's bun, but the material she wore was better than that of ordinary rich girls.

Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at the luxurious carriage at the foot of the mountain: "Your

queen?" "Don't ask too much, just return the sachet." The girl's tone was very aggressive. "What sachet?" Xu Qi'an put the sachet in his arms. "You..." The girl glared at him fiercely, "You wait for me.'

Holding the thick skirt, she ran down the stone steps. Xu Qi'an did not leave, but stayed where

he was, watching her approach the carriage and say something by the window. "Ning Yan, don't make trouble, that is a carriage for the royal family. "Li Yuchun frowned.

Xu Qian'an was only investigating the case by order. In Chun Ge's heart, he was still his subordinate. Chun Ge didn't want Xu Qian'an to cause too many troubles during the investigation. Even if he could make meritorious contributions in the future, he would offend people who shouldn't be offended, and his current efforts would be in vain.

.... You don't understand, that woman and I are destined to be together!

Xu Qian'an shook his head without explanation, still paying attention to the movement in the

carriage.

The ending disappointed Xu Qian'an. He vaguely saw that the window was opened a crack,

and the people inside seemed to be examining him.

Too far away, he couldn't see the dimly lit interior of the carriage.

The window was quickly closed, tightly closed. A few seconds later, the carriage slowly drove

away.

It seems that fate has not yet arrived... Xu Qian'an exhaled: "Let's go and meet the abbot of

Qinglong Temple."

.....

A group of night watchmen in uniform rushed into the temple and were immediately greeted

by a deacon. The deacon was a fat monk with a round face, kind eyes, and in his early forties. He put his

hands together and said, "I am the abbot of Qinglong Temple, my Buddhist name is Hengqing, and you gentlemen please come in."

He led Xu Qi'an and others into the temple, enthusiastically introducing the history of

Qinglong Temple, claiming that it was an orthodox Western heritage, that the temple practiced Mahayana Buddhism, and that it enshrined the Buddha.

Xu Qi'an's eyes swept across the magnificent palaces and waved his hand, "Call your abbot

out, I have something to ask you."

Qinglong Temple is the only Buddhist temple in the territory of Dafeng Capital. As the deacon said, it is the Mahayana Buddhism inherited from the West.

Xu Qiyan did his homework before coming here. The abbot of Qinglong Temple is a fifth-

grade law practitioner, who can fight better than any of them.

But Xu Qiyan was not afraid at all, because in the early stage of the Buddhist system, people

were not good at fighting, except for the eighth-grade martial monks.

The ninth grade of Buddhism is called Shami. This realm is very interesting. The core secret is

to keep the precepts. If you don't break the precepts within three years, you can be promoted. At first glance, it's very simple, but it's not.

The Buddhist precepts are strict and complicated, and you may break the precepts

unintentionally.

The eighth grade is a martial monk, who is not much different from a warrior and can fight

very well. The seventh-grade master and the sixth-grade Zen master behind are not very good at fighting. It's a qualitative change when you reach the fifth-grade law practitioner.

It is worth mentioning that when Xu Qi'an was looking up information in the yamen's case

library, he found a very interesting point. The next level of the ninth-grade novice monk is the master.

Directly skipped the eighth-grade warrior monk.

The information did not state why. Time was tight, and Xu Qi'an was too lazy to spend time

studying the Buddhist system. He only guessed that there might be two completely different paths in the Buddhist system.

"The abbot is meditating. It is inconvenient to disturb him. What can you say to me, sirs?"

Hengqing led everyone into the tea room and ordered the novice monk to serve tea.

"Is there a magic weapon in the temple that can block the Sitianjian's qi-watching

technique?" Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged on the futon and asked directly.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Hengqing clasped his hands together and shook his head: "There is no such magic weapon in the temple." "Master, monks do not lie. "Xu Qiyan's eyes were sharp.

Heng Qing lowered his head, not looking at Xu Qiyan, and said: "Every word I said is true."

"Does it mean that you can lie without restraint after passing the ninth-grade novice monk realm?" Xu Qiyan smiled.

Heng Qing lowered his head and ignored the cold eyes of the night watchmen around him. Non-violent non-cooperation? Xu Qiyan was a little angry.
