Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Prince Yu

Xu Qian'an followed the Taoist boy, through the front hall, through the square, through the attics and gardens, and came to the deepest part of Lingbao Temple.

This is a quiet little garden, where the flowers and trees have long withered, the rockery pavilion stands, and there is a pond with rippling green waves.

A Taoist nun with a stunning appearance sat cross-legged on the pond, wearing a Tai Chi robe, a lotus crown on her head, and a bright red cinnabar on her eyebrows. She was both pure and beautiful, and charming.

Her face was white, like an ice crystal sculpture without any flaws, her nose was straight and beautiful, her lips were plump, and when she closed her eyes, her interlaced eyelashes were as thick as a brush.

Xu Qian'an stared at her as soon as he entered the garden. He walked and looked at her, but he couldn't tell her age.

She felt like a young woman who had just turned 30, and a mature beautiful woman dripping with honey. Or if you look more carefully, you can see the charm of innocence and coquettishness mixed together from her.

"I actually have a feeling of "I have to replace a way to marry this woman home". Is it because I haven't been close to women for too long, or does the Human Sect have a special way of cultivation... charm?"

Xu Qi'an's thoughts flashed, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Did Jinlian ask you to come to me?" Luo Yuheng opened her beautiful eyes, with a perfect ratio between the pupil and the white of her eyes, a pair of very smart eyes.

"That's right, Taoist Jinlian's Yin spirit was severely injured, and his body was also injured, so he asked me to come and ask for a Juyuan Pill."

In normal times, Xu Qi'an would say "please ask for two pills", and then take the kickback and keep one pill.

But he was not familiar with Luo Yuheng, the head of the Human Sect. In order to repay Taoist Jinlian for saving his life, he just had to tell the truth in a proper manner.

In front of such a big man, you must not feel good about yourself and show your personality, otherwise it will only backfire.

"You are a member of the Tiandihui. Which book do you hold?" Luo Yuheng's voice is very pleasant, textured and magnetic, which reminds Xu Qi'an of the voice actor in his previous life.

"Number three." Xu Qi'an replied.

Luo Yuheng nodded, staring with her beautiful eyes, and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she uttered a light "huh", and a look of confusion flashed across her face.

"Your fate is very strange... Tell me your birth date." The stunning Taoist nun asked.

The breeze blew, and the hem of the Taoist robe hanging on the water fluttered. From this angle, Xu Qi'an could vaguely see the curve of her plump hips.

Can she see through my abnormality? Xu Qi'an immediately reported his birth date.

Luo Yuheng's slender jade hand stretched out of her sleeve, and her crystal jade fingers moved. After a moment of calculation, her willow eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she had encountered some difficult to explain problems.

Xu Qi'an was a little nervous and asked with some expectation: "National Master, how is it?"

"Shen Monkey!" she said.

How do you know I like the monkey.... Bah, bah, bah, she was talking about the image representation of my birth date, just like the horoscope in my previous life... Xu Qiyan found that the evil thoughts in his heart were ready to move.

This woman always reminds me of my sister in 36d; my mother's friend; my kind aunt... It's definitely not that I have a problem, but that she has polluted my mind... Is it a unique characteristic of the human sect? Well, I'll ask Taoist Jinlian later.

Luo Yuheng shook her head and said in a textured voice: "Nothing special."

She didn't want to say more, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, flicked her fingers, and the porcelain bottle floated in front of Xu Qiyan.

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Qiyan took the porcelain bottle and bowed to thank you.

She couldn't see through my specific situation, but just like Taoist Jinlian, she could vaguely feel it... Xu Qiyan no longer lingered and said goodbye.

...

The carriage drove into the imperial city and stopped at the entrance of the palace. Jiang Luzhong, who was driving the carriage, jumped off the carriage and took out the wooden ladder to welcome Wei Yuan down.

Except for members of the royal family, ministers were not allowed to drive or ride in the palace.

Wei Yuan took Jiang Luzhong into the palace. When they were near the imperial study, Eunuch Liu came to them.

"Wei Gong, you are here." Eunuch Liu complained repeatedly: "His Majesty sent me here to wait for you. Go quickly. His Majesty is furious in the imperial study."

Wei Yuan nodded calmly. His aura seemed to be calm even if the sky fell, and he was not affected by Eunuch Liu's words.

"Several old guys just impeached you in front of His Majesty... Hey, you can do it yourself. Anyway, it's better to be careful."

Eunuch Liu and Wei Yuan are in the same camp. Wei Yuan is the spiritual leader of the entire eunuch group. It is extremely difficult for any court minister to plant spies in the palace, but Wei Yuan can do it easily.

Wei Yuan came to the door of the imperial study and heard the voice of Yuan Jingdi cursing from inside: "Waste, all waste. The Sangpo case has not been solved yet, and the clues you two have are not as many as a small copper gong. What's the point of the court keeping you two? What's the use of you!"

In the imperial study, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the prefect Chen Hanguang stood side by side in the middle, bowing their heads to listen to Yuan Jingdi's

reprimand.

In addition to the three people, the prime minister, the ministers of various departments, and several nobles stood on both sides with their eyes and noses and hearts.

The case of the extermination of the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion spread throughout the court and the country today. The princes and nobles fell into inexplicable panic. On the one hand, they wrote a letter to impeach Wei Yuan and investigate the murderer. On the other hand, they secretly strengthened the security force in the mansion.

For a time, people were panicked. Some people said that it was a powerful demon who invaded the capital and wantonly killed important officials of the court, causing chaos beyond the scope of the law.

Some people said that it was the Buddhist sect that was secretly making trouble, with the goal of preaching in the Central Plains and forcing the Dafeng Dynasty to surrender.

"Your Majesty, why is the Supervisor sick at this time?"

"Oh, sick? It's obvious that he was standing by and watching."

"Why did the murderer escape last night? The night watchman was derelict in his duty. Your

Majesty must severely punish Wei Yuan."

Several ministers gave advice one after another.

Amidst the discussion, Wei Yuan entered the imperial study.

"Wei Yuan!" As soon as Emperor Yuan Jing saw him come in, he grabbed a stack of documents

and threw them at him. As the pages rustled, he shouted angrily:

"Three days, if you can't replace the murderer within three days, I will dismiss you."

Wei Yuan dodged lightly, picked up the documents scattered on the ground slowly, and

sighed: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry? Practicing Taoism is to cultivate the mind.

Don't mess up your state of mind."

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted coldly.

The Minister of Justice said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the night watchman let the murderer escape twice in a row. I suspect Wei Yuan colluded with foreign tribes and harbored evil intentions. Please investigate it strictly."

Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer, looking at Chen Hanguan who bowed his head and said

nothing, "What do you think, Chen Fu Yin?"

Although the Fu Yin was a fourth-rank official, he governed the 24 counties around the capital, and his power was no weaker than those six ministers.

Chen Hanguan was an old hand, adhering to the idea of not offending both sides, and said: "The Sangpo case has not yet ended, and now there is the case of the extermination of the Pingyuan Earl's mansion. Your Majesty should not be angry, and you need to be calm. I think

you should listen to what Duke Wei says."

He kicked the ball away directly.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan coldly.

"Your Majesty, the Pingyuan Earl case and the Sangpo case are the same case." Wei Yuan said. In the imperial study, including Emperor Yuan Jing, everyone's face changed slightly. Wei Yuan didn't look at the faces of the crowd, but lowered his head and looked at the ground, saying loudly: "I have found out who the murderer of the case of the murder of the Pingyuan

Earl is."

"Who is it?" Someone subconsciously interrupted, it was Zhang Feng, the Minister of War.

Wei Yuan glanced at him, did not answer, but said to Emperor Yuan Jing: "Your Majesty,

please dismiss the attendants."

When saying this, Wei Yuan thought of Xu Qian'an for no reason.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan deeply, and his pupils swept through the ministers

sharply: "You all, please leave."

Everyone bowed with strange faces and left the imperial study.

Wei Yuan stayed in the study for half an hour, and no one knew what he said to Emperor Yuan

Jing.

"Duke Wei, Duke Wei..."

Accompanied by Eunuch Liu, Wei Yuan had just stepped out of the imperial study, and after a

few steps, he heard someone calling him.

Looking sideways, Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, who was wearing a scarlet official robe and had a thin face, came up to greet him with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Wei, I wonder who is the murderer of the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, this case involves Sangpo, so it is inconvenient to

disclose it. When the truth is revealed, Mr. Shangshu will naturally know it."

He bowed and strode away.

Mr. Zhang hit a soft nail, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, take care."

After Wei Yuan left, the big men waiting in the imperial study slowly came over, "Eunuch Liu,

what did Wei Yuan say to His Majesty?"

"My lords, please don't embarrass me." Eunuch Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Eunuch Liu, just pick out some things to say." A strong voice came, and it was the Prime

Minister of the dynasty who was speaking.

Eunuch Liu hesitated for a moment, nodded, looked around at the ministers, and whispered:

"This case is handled by Xu Qi'an, the Tonggong of the Night Watchman's Office. What Wei

Kilometer said came from him."

Xu Qi'an?!

The ministers looked at each other.

.....

After leaving Lingbao Temple, Xu Qi'an's mind flashed the stunning face of the national teacher from time to time. He thought that women who practice Taoism are different. They look like beauties carved out of jade. You can't see any flaws on her face.

At least there are a few pimples.

The head of the Earth Sect is a second-rank Taoist, so the head of the Human Sect must not be any worse... If he is a second-rank Taoist, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fairy.

The mare under his crotch was walking with a clatter. Passing by an equipment warehouse, Xu Qi'an asked the guard for the location of Prince Yu's mansion.

"We need to change our approach to the investigation of the Sangpo case. Let's not investigate the Prince of Zhenbei for now. I have a feeling that as long as we replace out the story of Henghui and Princess Pingyang, and replace out the grievances between this miserable couple and the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the Sangpo case may be solved."

"It won't take half a month. I feel it will take just a few days... maybe even faster. "Master Jinlian will come to see me in the evening. I must remember to ask him what the

situation is with the Taoist leader of the Renzong Sect. He is obviously a female Taoist, but he

has a demonic

charm."

Xu Qi'an squeezed the horse's belly and urged the horse to run quickly.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Xu Qi'an pulled the reins and showed his gold medal in the vigilant eyes of the guards,

indicating his identity: "I am the chief officer of the Sangpo case appointed by His Majesty. I

have something to ask to see Prince Yu. Please pass it on for me."

The guard saw the badge, put away his contempt, and hurried into the mansion.

Not long after, the guard returned and said loudly: "Sir, follow me, our prince wants to see you."

Prince Yu's mansion occupies a large area. It took a full five minutes to walk from the gate to the front hall.

Xu Qiyan met Yuan Jingdi's younger brother, the prince of the current dynasty, in the front

hall.

This is a young man with premature gray hair. He is pale and looks sick. The vertical lines between his eyebrows are deep. He is only in his early forties, but he looks older than Yuan

Jingdi.

He is wearing purple brocade clothes and his facial features are quite good. "Tongluo?" Prince Yu took a sip of tea in his hand, and his voice was a little weak.

He put down the teacup and said in surprise: "When will the emperor allow a Tongluo to be

the main official?"

"Your humble servant Xu Qiyan, Prince Yu has never heard of me? "Xu Qiyan thought, the

Sangpo case is now the top news on the hot search list in Beijing, and everyone from the princes and nobles to the clerks and generals should pay attention to it.

As one of the main officials, the minions don't know me, and Prince Yu, a member of the royal

family, doesn't know me either?

Prince Yu nodded suddenly, "I remember, I have heard of it, but I haven't been involved in government affairs for a long time, so I can't remember it for a while."

It seems that the disappearance of Princess Pingyang has hit him hard...Xu Qiyan sighed.

"What do you want to see me for?" Prince Yu waved his hand and ordered the servants to serve

tea.
