Chapter 139 – King Yu

Xu Qi’an followed the daoist boy, through the front hall, through the square, through an attic and a garden, and arrived at the deepest part of the Spiritual Treasure Guan.

This is a quiet little garden, flowers and trees have long faded, the rockery pavilion towers, there is a blue rippling pond.

A Taoist nun with a beautiful appearance was sitting on top of the pool, wearing a taiji robe, a lotus flower crown on her head, and a bit of bright red vermilion sand on her eyebrows, which was both clear and dusty, as well as sultry and seductive.

Her face is plain white, like ice crystal carved without flaws, her nose line is straight and beautiful, her lips are plump, and when her eyes are closed, her interlaced eyelashes are as thick as brushes.

Xu Qi’an was staring at her when she entered the court, staring all the way, frozen, unable to see her age.

It felt like a light mature woman who had just turned 30, and it also felt like a beautiful woman who was ripe and dripping with honey, or if you looked more closely, you could still see the charm of pure love and seductiveness mixed together in her.

“I can’t believe that I would develop a feeling of “I have to find a way to marry this woman back home”, is it because I haven’t been close to women for too long, or is it because the Human Sect has a special practice …. Charming?”

Xu Qi’an’s thoughts flickered, his surface unmoving.

“Did Jinlian ask you to come to me?” Luo Yu Heng opened her beautiful eyes, the pupils were in just the right proportion to the whites of her eyes, a very soulful pair of eyes.

“Precisely, Daoist Golden Lotus has suffered a serious injury to his Yin Spirit and injuries to his physical body, and has entrusted me to come over here to beg for a Gathering Elemental Pill.”

If it were normal, Xu Qi’an would say, “Please, two grains,” and then take the rebate to honor the next one.

However, he was not familiar with Luo Yu Heng, the head of the Human Sect Dao, and in order to repay the Golden Lotus Daoist for saving his life, he would just be regular and honest.

You should never feel good about yourself and accentuate your personality in front of such a bigot, it will only turn over.

“You’re a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, and you’re holding several numbers of earth books?” Luo Yuheng’s voice was very nice, textured and magnetic, reminding Xu Qi’an of a voice actor from his previous life.

“Number three.” Xu Qi’an replied.

Luo Yu Heng nodded, her beautiful eyes staring for a long time. Suddenly, she let out a soft eep, a confused look flashing across her face.

“You have a strange destiny …. Tell me the birth date.” The stunning Daoist nun asked.

As the breeze came, the hem of the dao robe that hung over the water’s surface danced, and at this angle, Xu Qi’an could vaguely see the curve of the voluptuous buttocks.

She can also see through my abnormalities? Xu Qi’an immediately reported her birth date.

Luo Yu Heng’s slender jade hand stretched out her sleeve, her crystal jade fingers pinched and counted for a few moments, her willow brows furrowed, as if she had encountered some kind of problem that was difficult to explain.

Xu Qi’an asked with some nervousness and anticipation, “How was it, State Master?”

“Shin Monkey!” She said.

Shen Monkey? She is talking about the figurative representation of my birth character implicitly, just like the horoscope of my previous life ……. Xu Qi’an realized that the evil thoughts in his heart were stirring.

This woman always makes me unconsciously want to discuss gender issues with her …….. It’s definitely not me who has a problem, it’s her who pollutes my mind …….. Is it a unique characteristic of the Human Sect? Hmm, I’ll ask Daoist Master Jinlian later.

Luo Yu Heng shook his head, his textured voice saying, “It’s mediocre.”

Unwilling to say any more, she took out a porcelain vase from her sleeve, flexing her fingers and flicking it, the vase floated in front of Xu Qi’an.

“Thank you, State Master!” Xu Qi’an took the porcelain bottle and bowed in thanks.

She also can t see through my specific situation, just like the Golden Lotus Taoist, she can vaguely feel it …. Xu Qi’an no longer stayed and excused himself.

……

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

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

Wei Yuan brought Jiang Ruzhong into the palace city, and as he approached the imperial study, he was greeted by Eunuch Liu.

“Eunuch Wei you’re here.” Eunuch Liu complained with a pile of voices, “His Majesty sent me here to wait for you, hurry up and go, His Majesty is furious in the Imperial Study Room.”

Wei Yuan nodded his head stoically, his aura that seemed as if the sky was collapsing without a ripple was not affected by Eunuch Liu’s words.

“A few old things just impeached you in front of His Majesty …. Hey, you can see for yourself, in short, be careful.”

Eunuch Liu and Wei Yuan were in the same camp, and Wei Yuan was the spiritual leader of the entire eunuch group. It was a thousand times harder for any court minister to plant eyes in the palace, but Wei Yuan could do it easily.

Wei Yuan came to the door of the imperial study, heard the Yuan Jing Emperor’s cursing voice from inside: “Waste, all waste. The Sang Po case has not been solved yet, the clues you two have are not as much as a small gong, what is the use of keeping you two in the court? What is the use of keeping you two in the court? What is the use of me wanting you!”

In the Imperial Study Room, the Minister of Justice and the Secretary of the Da Lisi, as well as the Prefect Chen Han Guang, the three of them stood side by side in the center, their heads bowed as they listened to Emperor Yuan Jing’s reprimand.

In addition to the three, the chief minister of the dynasty, the ministers of various ministries, and several dignitaries, with their eyes and noses on the sides.

Pingyuan Burial House extermination case, today spread up and down the court, princes and nobles into inexplicable fear, while the petition impeachment Wei Yuan, strict investigation of the murderer. While secretly strengthening the power of guards in the residence.

For a time, people were terrified, and some said that the strongest members of the Demon Race had invaded the capital, wantonly killing important court officials and disrupting the dynasty.

Some say it was the Buddhist sect that was secretly messing around with the aim of evangelizing the Central Plains and forcing the Dafeng Dynasty into submission.

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

“Heh, sick? Clearly standing by.”

“Why did you let the murderer escape last night, the watchman was derelict in his duty, Your Majesty must punish Wei Yuan severely.”

Several ministers have admonished.

Wei Yuan entered the imperial study amidst a murmur.

“Wei Yuan!” As soon as Emperor Yuan Jing saw him come in, he grabbed a stack of paperwork and slammed it over, and amidst the clattering of the pages, he shouted angrily:

“Three days, if you can’t find out the murderer within three days, I’ll dismiss you.”

Wei Yuan lightly avoided, slowly and methodically picking up the scattered papers and documents, sighing, “Why should Your Majesty be angry, cultivation is cultivating the heart, don’t mess up the 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 that Wei Yuan is colluding with foreigners and harboring evil intentions, I ask Your Majesty to investigate strictly.”

Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer and looked at Chen Hanguang who bowed his head, “What does Prefect Chen think?”

Although the prefect is a fourth grade, but the jurisdiction of the twenty-four counties around this capital, the power of the great, not weaker than these six ministers.

Chen Hanguang is an old fart, adhering to the idea of not offending either side, said, “The Sangpo case is not yet over, and now the Pingyuan Burial House extermination case has arisen, your majesty should not be angry, and needs to have a calm heart. I think we should listen to what Duke Wei has to say.”

Kicked the puck right out of the way.

Emperor Yuan Jing coldly looked at Wei Yuan.

“Your Majesty, the Ping Yuan Bo case is the same case as the Sang Po case.” Wei Yuan said.

Inside the imperial study, including Emperor Yuan Jing, everyone’s face changed slightly.

Wei Yuan did not look at the faces of the crowd, hung his head and looked at the ground, and said aloud, “The microconsultant has already found out who the murderer in the Ping Yuan Bo extermination case is.”

“Who is it?” Someone subconsciously grabbed the words, it was Zhang Feng, the Minister of War.

Wei Yuan swept a glance at him and didn’t answer, instead saying to Emperor Yuan Jing, “Please ask Your Majesty to dismiss the left and right.”

When he said this, Wei Yuan thought of Xu Qi’an for no reason.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked deeply at Wei Yuan, and his pupil light swept sharply over the ministers, “All the ministers should retire.”

The people made a bow with odd faces and exited the imperial study.

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

….

“Wei Gong, Wei Gong…”

Accompanied by Eunuch Liu, Wei Yuan Fang just stepped out of the Imperial Study Room and did not take a few steps when he heard someone calling out to him.

Looking sideways, Zhang Feng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War in scarlet official robes with a thin face, greeted him with a smile piled on his face:

“O Lord Wei, I wonder what kind of demon is the murderer of the Pingyuan Burial Mansion extermination case?”

Wei Yuan shook his head, “Shangshu Zhang, this case involves Sang Po, it is inconvenient to disclose, when the truth is revealed, Shangshu Lord will naturally know.”

He arched his hand in greeting and then strutted away.

Zhang Shangshu touched a soft nail, do not see annoyed, smiling and said, “Wei Gong slow walk ah.”

After Wei Yuan left, the bigwigs waiting in the Imperial Study Room slowly walked over, “Eunuch Liu, what did Wei Yuan say to His Majesty?”

“Your Excellencies, don’t make things difficult for our family.” Eunuch Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

“Eunuch Liu picks something he can say and says it.” The voice came from the center of the air, it was the chief minister of the dynasty speaking.

Eunuch Liu hesitated slightly, nodded, looked around at the ministers, and whispered, “This case, ah, is the gong Xu Qi’an of the night watchman’s yamen is handling it, and the words Wei kilometer head said, all came from hitting him.”

Xu Qi’an?

The ministers looked at each other.

…..

Xu Qi’an who left the Spiritual Treasure Guan, his mind flashed through the state master’s charming face from time to time, and said that the woman who cultivated the monastery was different ah, like a beauty carved out of jade, and froze unable to see any imperfections on her face.

At least a few pimples.

The head of the Earth Sect Dao is a second grade, and the head of the Human Sect Dao must not be inferior …. If it is second grade, it is not too much to say fairy.

The little mare on her hips clattered along, passing by an armory, Xu Qi’an asked the guards for the location of Prince Yu’s residence.

“The idea of investigating the Sangpo case should be changed, let’s not investigate the Zhenbei King first, I have a hunch that as long as we find out what happened to Heng Hui and the Pingyang County Lord, and find out the grudges and grudges between this bitter couple and the Pingyuan Burial Mansion, the Sangpo case might just be solved.”

“It doesn’t take half a month, I feel like it’s just a few days …. Maybe it’ll be sooner.

“The Golden Lotus Taoist Master will come to see me in the evening, and I shall remember to ask him what is the case with the head of the Human Sect Dao, who is obviously a kun-do, but has a devilish charm.”

Xu Qi’an clipped the horse’s belly and urged the horse to hurry up.

Prince Honor’s Mansion.

Xu Qi’an reined in his horse, and in the guards’ watchful gazes, he flashed his gold medal and identified himself, “This official is the organizer of the Sangpo case appointed by His Majesty, and I have something to ask to see the Honorable King, so please pass the word for me.”

When the guards saw the waist plate, they put away their contempt and hurried into the house.

Not long after, the guards returned and said aloud, “This lord come with me, our king wants to see you.”

The Honorable King’s Mansion covered an extremely large area, and it was a five-minute walk from the front door to the front hall.

Xu Qi’an met Emperor Yuan Jing’s younger brother, the prince of the dynasty, in the front hall.

This was a man who wasn’t very old, but his Chinese hair had grown prematurely, his face was pale and looked sickly, the vertical lines on his eyebrows were profound, he was clearly only in his early forties, but he looked even older than Emperor Yuan Jing.

Dressed in purple brocade, his features were quite good.

“Causeway?” King Yu was holding a cup of tea in his hand, taking a light sip, his voice somewhat lacking in mid-air.

He put down his teacup and said in surprise, “When would Imperial Brother license a gong to be an organizing officer?”

“My humble servant Xu Qi’an, King Yu has not heard of me?” Xu Qi’an thought, the Sang Po case as the first headline news on the capital’s hot search list nowadays, from the princes and nobles down to the officials and generals, all of them should be paying attention to it.

And as one of the organizing officials myself, the minions don’t know me, and King Yu, who is a member of the clan, doesn’t even know me?

King Yuhang nodded indistinctly, “Come to think of it, I have heard of it, but this king has ignored dynastic affairs for a long time, so I failed to think of it for a while.”

It seems that the disappearance of County Lord Pingyang has hit him hard …. Xu Qi’an let out a sigh.

“What do you seek from this king?” King Yu beckoned, ordering his subordinates to serve tea.
