Chapter 120 The Three Elements of Socialization

The jailer yelled a few more times, but Magistrate Zhao remained motionless.

Xu Qi’an’s heart sank as he said, “Open the door.”

The jailer pulled out the key to open the door and angrily reached out to tug on Magistrate Zhao, “Deaf?”

Zhao magistrate’s body flipped over limply.

At this time, the jailer also realized that something was wrong, probed his nose, and his face changed drastically, “Dead, dead .”

It’s a step too late Xu Qi’an sighed in his heart.

The magistrate of Taikang was arrested and imprisoned last night overnight, and he received the news this morning and immediately came over, but he was still a step late.

The murderer was either someone within the government office, or had been monitoring the movements of County Magistrate Zhao, or else he couldn’t have killed him in time . Xu Qi’an flipped open Zhao magistrate’s eyelids, pried open his lips to look at his tongue, and then peeled off Zhao magistrate’s prison uniform to examine the body.

“There are no signs of poisoning, no signs of struggle before death, the body spots have just formed not long ago, and the time of death is not more than five hours. The cause of death is unknown for the time being .” Xu Qi’an made a judgment in his heart and said, “Leave two people to watch over the corpse, the others follow me to see the prefect.”

The criminal died in the government office. Chen Hanguang, the governor, will have to take the blame.

Xu Qi’an sought out the inner hall and learned that the Chen magistrate was still sleeping, and after the magistrate had passed the word, he waited outside for half a joss stick of time and met the fully dressed Chen Hanguang.

Chen Fu Yin’s face was as usual, completely missing the appearance of having just woken up from a nap, and smiled, “What is it that Lord Xu is looking for in this official?”

Early morning court time is the beginning of the dawning of the morning, usually, civil and military officials at c time to wait at the noon gate, that is, four or five o’clock in the morning.

Therefore, after the morning court, going back to the Yamen to catch up on sleep is a routine operation in the officialdom of Da Bong.

“I came to arraign Magistrate Zhao of Taikang County, only to find him dead in prison this morning.” Xu Qi’an opened the door.

“What?!” Prefect Chen was shocked.

The jailer who was brought over by Xu Qi’an said with trepidation, “Your Honor, it’s true .”

Prefect Chen frowned and didn’t think it was much of a big deal, after all, Magistrate Zhao himself was a death row inmate, to be executed in the coming fall.

“How did you die?” Prefect Chen lifted his teacup.

“Exterminated.” Xu Qi’an said.

Prefect Chen’s hand trembled for a moment, hot tea spilled out, he was blissfully unconcerned and stared wide-eyed, “Exterminate?”

Obviously, Old Chen did not realize the gravity of the situation . Xu Qi’an explained, “My lord thinks, how did the demon race discover the saltpeter mine? Big Yellow Mountain is a mediocre place, not even the gray households in the vicinity know of the existence of saltpeter mines, so how did the demon race manage to discover it?”

Prefect Chen stood up in shock: “What do you mean”

Xu Qi’an nodded, ”I suspected that it was related to the magistrate of Taikang, and I came over to arraign him today, but I didn’t expect to be a step too slow, and he had already been silenced.

“The clues to this case are broken again, ai, His Majesty ordered me to find out the truth within half a month, it’s just too hard for me. By the way, a small eunuch came to the Si Tian Jian today and asked me to report the progress of the case on time.”

Chen Fu Yin’s face changed many times as he bowed and said, “Lord Xu, the government office is willing to assist you, and all three houses and six departments of the government office can be deployed by you.”

Xu Qi’an laughed, “Lord Chen is generous, it was an accident that Magistrate Zhao died in the prison for no reason.”

No one cares about the death of a death row inmate, but what if that death row inmate has something to do with the Sampo case? Especially with the Kyung-cha on the horizon.

Such a big handle, if it was publicized, Chen Fu Yin was afraid that he would be demoted, and to Xu Qi An, the person was already dead, so pursuing Chen Fu Yin was of little significance. It was also the difference between saying it and not saying it.

Thus, Lv Qing, who had just been promoted to Chief Constable, was called in, and Prefect Chen said solemnly, “As of today, you will follow Lord Xu and be at his disposal.”

He’s at the disposal of Mr. Xu. The other day, the magistrate said that this is a chance for him to join the cabinet if he can solve the case. You want me to spy for Xu Qi’an?

Lu Qing thought in surprise.

“Don’t think nonsense, feel free to assist Lord Xu.” Prefect Chen said in a deep voice.

It’s true? He, he actually managed to soften up the Prefect?

Lu Qing stared at Xu Qi’an for a few moments and said, “I will follow your orders.”

Soon after, the autopsy report of Sheriff Zhao came out, death by natural causes.

The more there is no breakage, the more it means that there is a ghost First of all, we can rule out a martial artist silencing Xu Qi An frowned in contemplation.

Violence was synonymous with martial artists, pinching Zhao magistrate to death was as simple as pinching an ant, but it could never be done silently and without leaving any cracks.

Xu Qi’an was the first to think of the Taoist Yin God, because in ancient times, the Taoist Yin God was also known as the Soul Hooker, able to take a person’s dog’s life in their sleep.

“First of all, excluding that old silver coin, Daoist Golden Lotus, who has no involvement as in the Sampo case, then there is only the Human Sect.”

Xu Qi’an scratched her hair in annoyance, feeling her hairline creeping back.

How come the Human Sect is still involved, is the Human Sect something I can investigate? Not to mention that the head of the Human Sect’s Dao is the status of a national master, the head of the Earth Sect’s Dao is a second rank, and the head of the Human Sect’s Dao can’t be much worse, right?

Both legs clamped down on me!

“Well, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the Dao Sect, I don’t know much about the other systems, so I can’t jump to conclusions too early now . Hey, while the gold medal is around, I’ll take the time to read more about the confidential inner workings of the major systems.”    Xu Qi’an realized that Lu Qing was quietly sizing himself up, and fatigue was vaguely visible on the woman constable’s handsome face.

“Sheriff Lu, you haven’t had a good rest lately, have you?”

Lu Qing smiled, “Busy with official duties.”

She already knew the reason why Prefect Chen compromised, although Xu Qi’an was picking up a leak, this leak was not a good one, if he did not realize in time that there was a problem with the magistrate of Taikang, this matter might have been suppressed by the Prefect.

“Sheriff Lv’s towel is not a woman.” Xu Qi’an complimented.

She is probably between 25-30 years old, and at such a young age, she has a promising future as the chief of the criminal investigation team of the Capital Public Security Department.

And unmarried!

Xu Qi’an didn’t have any such promising female friends around her in her last life, and all she had were older leftover women who were annoyed that their boyfriends were leaking from time to time.

When Xu Qi’an left the government office, he was surrounded by six more of the government office’s fast men for his disposal, none of their cultivation levels were bad, two practicing qi and four refining essence.

He rode on the back of his horse, thinking about what he should do next.

Half a month’s time is not too long, not too short, to solve the case to follow the trail, can not be rushed.

On the contrary, Wei Yuan’s attitude confused him, was it too cold?

“Wei Yuan definitely knows something, Emperor Yuan Jing’s attitude is ambiguous, and the Supervisor Zheng is pretending to be dead . It doesn’t make sense ah, not counting any games between the big shots, it’s an indisputable fact that the first generation of Supervisor Zheng got out of the trap, I can’t be relieved because of their calmness because people in high positions may not care about the deaths of ordinary people.”

“No, I must figure out the matter of the first generation of the Supervisor, Wei Yuan seems to not want me to intervene in it, worrying that I will be implicated I can curve to save the country ah, I will disclose this matter hidden to the Princess is not to disclose it, it is a hint, a hint that is not moving, so that she can make her own associations, to discover.”

Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an no longer hesitated and said, “You guys go wait for me at the Yamen first, I’ll make a trip into the palace.”

The crowd looked puzzled.

Xu Qi’an explained, “I’m going to see the eldest princess.”

He could even meet the Eldest Princess? Not only was Xu Ningyan on good terms with the warlocks of the Sitian Supervisor, he was even on good terms with the Elder Princess Lu Qing’s heart thumped.

The others had their own doubts and shock, Li Yuchun was the most calm, he was aware that Xu Qi’an was able to enter the office of the night watchman, all thanks to the recommendation of the Princess.

Bidding farewell to the crowd, Xu Qi’an spurred his horse towards the Imperial City.

The Princess has long been adult, in the Imperial City has its own residence, Xu Qi’an rushed to Huaiqing House, asked the guards, only to know that the Princess usually live in the palace city, idle not back to live.

He then rushed to the Imperial City, which was equal to a scaled-down version of the Inner City, and which housed the clan temples, government offices, inner court services, warehouses and city defense buildings, as well as gardens and gardens.

The outer city was inhabited by commoners, the inner city by dignitaries, and the imperial city, inhabited by princes and ministers.

Without the gold medal, Xu Qi’an couldn’t even get in.

As for the Palace City, also known as the Imperial Palace, it was the home of the Emperor, and was inhabited by consorts and imperial sons and daughters. Of course, adult imperial sons and daughters had to move out of the Palace City and live in the Imperial City.

It was only that Emperor Yuan Jing had devoted himself to cultivation over the years and did not care much about his concubines, and the rules in this regard had become lax.

Many of today’s adult royal sons and daughters still live in the palace city.

In the case of the palace city, Xu Qi’an could not enter, even with Emperor Yuan Jing’s imperial gold medal, and was about to ask the guards to pass on a message when he suddenly heard wheels clattering.

Poking his head in, a large convoy was pulling out.

The royal family specializes in golden nanmu wood, yellow silk Chinese cover, inlaid with gold pieces and jade, luxurious atmosphere.

Clearly a top of the line sports car Xu Qixin said.

The guard who had charged him three coins of silver, saw this and smiled, “The second carriage is the eldest princess’s, look at the word “Qing” embroidered on the yellow silk of the body. It seems there is no need for a pass.”

The guards returned the broken silver to Xu Qi’an.

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome,” Xu Qi’an pushed back, “There will be times in the future when I’ll trouble old brother.”

He intends to ride on the line of the Princess, hold this thick leg, the future may come from time to time to “contact feelings”, in advance with the guards to build a good relationship is very necessary.

As the saying goes, cigarettes pry open a man’s mouth, money hooks him, and eating seafood together puts you and him in the same boat.

The Social Triad!

The guards appreciated Xu Qi’an and said, “The first carriage is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the third is the Second Prince, and the fourth is the Second Princess who is estimated to be going to where the banquet is being held, so if you are able to attend, remember to perform well and level the playing field.”

“Eldest Princess, my humble servant Xu Qi’an has something to ask for!” Xu Qi’an said in a loud voice.

PS: Typo this chapter says see you! Ask for monthly votes, I’m in the top 10 again, happy.
