Chapter 213.

Comfortable…Xu Qi’an went upstairs refreshed, leaving the two cohorts wanting some quiet time.

“I should be under the car, not in it, seeing how sweet you guys are …. Kuku Kuku, hahaha!” He laughed maniacally as he made his way up the stairs.

“Xu Ningyan you thousand-dagger bastard!”

Behind them came Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao’s roars of shame and anger.

In the next few days, Xu Qi’an experienced the aftermath of the friendship boat capsizing. Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao resorted to cold violence against him, ignoring him and treating him as a transparent person.

Xu Qi’an took the initiative to seek them out and climb into the conversation, and they pretended not to hear them, minding their own business.

Is it a broken heart, feeling ashamed to talk to me, or just relenting? It must be the former ah …. Xu Qi’an thought so.

So when it was time for lunch, Xu Qi’an took the initiative to climb into the conversation, “I’ve already forgotten what happened in the teahouse and won’t laugh at you guys anymore.”

“What?” Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were furious.

Miss Susu played with our feelings, you played with our friendship, who is the victim?

“It was the two of you who couldn’t control it and fell under that charm’s illusions, blame me?” Xu Qi’an looked at them indignantly:

“Why should I hide it from you? You still have the nerve to ask, if I were to expose it on the spot, you two would have jumped off a building. Look, if it wasn’t for that Li Miaochen coming over, wouldn’t this matter have been covered up properly?

“None of you are embarrassed; Guangxiao doesn’t know that Tingfeng hit the pillar with his little old man for a quarter of an hour, and Tingfeng, you don’t know that Guangxiao’s back is so strong when he’s propped up on the table.”

“Don’t, don’t say it…” said Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, covering their faces.

In fact, if poked and prodded on the spot, Old Song and Old Zhu would be embarrassed for a while at most, never like now, so ashamed that they could not wait to roll on the ground, feeling ashamed to be a human being.

Every time they remembered the words they had said in front of Xu Ning Banquet, the love they had shown, what they would not marry her, what they would regret for their entire lives… Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao hated to commit hara-kiri and leave this dark world of mankind.

Song Tingfeng turned his face away from his head and laughed coldly, “I don’t have a friend like you, and from that day on, we’ve broken our ties.”

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice, “Me too.”

“Stop it, the friendship between the three of us is not something that can be shaken by a mere female ghost.” Xu Qi’an saw that the two of them were indifferent, both of them cold-faced, and said with a meaty expression:

“The big deal is to go back to the capital and invite you to the Department of Education.”

Song Tingfeng looked disdainful, “A mere Church and Workshop Department is bribing Guangxiao and me?”

Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice, “Twice.”

Song Tingfeng grunted, “Get lost, don’t talk to me.”

Xu Qi’an said in pain, “Three times.”

Song Tingfeng: “Heh.”

Xu Qi’an gritted his teeth and said, “Five times!”

Song Tingfeng tightly tugged on his sleeve, “Then you make a note.”

Friendship boat overturned three days later, finally on track, brothers, how can a little conflict really fall out. The invitation to the Church is only to give both sides a step down, the main reason is still the friendship is sincere enough ….. This is what Song Tingfeng said.

Xu Qi’an was agreeable, so he said, “Then the matter of the Teaching Department is forgotten.”

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao said in unison, “Cut the robe!”

Said the man, raising the note in his hand.

“And then there’s…” Zhu Guangxiao glanced at him, “You can’t divulge the matter of Su Su… that female ghost to anyone.”

“You can’t make fun of us about this in the future either.” Song Tingfeng added.

“No problem, I’ll never, never kuku… “Xu Qi’an hurriedly twisted his head away, covering his face, and after a few seconds, turned back, “Definitely won’t make fun of you guys.”

“What were you laughing at?”

“I’m not laughing.”

“You laughed.”

“I’m really not laughing, I’m highly trained not to laugh any more than I have to.”

…..

Outside Baidi City, military camp.

Li Miaozhen sat in the military tent and listened to Su Su’s report, “Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao spent most of their time in the post, occasionally they would go out and look for a restaurant when they got tired of the post’s food.

“They were in pairs, Xu Qi’an wasn’t involved, he was acting alone and went to the Hook whenever he went out.

“Almost every day, he would stay at the hook bar for an hour and then go back to the post. During that time, he did not go to any Yamen, nor did he check Zhou Min’s case in.

“Well, Zhou Min’s grave has traces of having been moved, and according to the time speculation, it should be on the day when the governor’s team arrived at Baidi City ….”

In the past few days, Su Su acted as a covert sentry, keeping an eye on the stagecoach’s every move. As soon as Xu Qi’an’s trio came out, she quietly tailed them.

A martial artist is unable to sense Yin Qi, much less see ghosts, and as long as he maintains a good distance, Su Su will not be detected.

“What else is unusual?” Li Miaozhen asked.

Abnormal? Is that Xu Qi’an picking up silver every day considered abnormal …. Su Su muttered in her heart, but she knew that Li Miaozhen was asking about Zhou Min related events and shook her head:

“No, they seem to be waiting for the governor to return before investigating Zhou Min’s case.”

Wei Yuan impeached the cloud state capital commander Yang Chuannan thing, the Qi party has long passed a letter to inform. Why the governor’s team came, everyone in the Yunzhou officialdom knows.

Li Miaozhen uncorked a porcelain bottle and summoned one of the ghostly creatures that lived in the bottle, a tall, thin, middle-aged scholar.

“I said, you write!”

“Yes, Master.”

With the information that Li Miaozhen had received through the inner circle of the Tiandi Association, she thought that she had quite an intuitive understanding of this person, Xu Qi’an, who was very powerful and experienced in investigating cases.

If he really had any clues, or an accurate direction, then he definitely wouldn’t have wasted so many days at the stagecoach station. After all, the longer the progress of the case dragged on, the fewer clues there would be.

This meant that Xu Qi’an was at his wits’ end as well.

Not long after, a letter was written, Li Miaozhen handed the letter to Su Su: “Send the letter to Yang Chuannan.”

“Okay ta!” Su Su hugged the letter and twisted her small slender waist out of the military tent.

She paused in front of the thick curtain and twisted her head, frowning with a pitiful expression:(?????)

“If you have something to say, just say it.” Li Miaochen said without a trace of anger.

“Won’t master avenge me? That brat abused me.” Su Su reluctantly complained.

“It’s only a day of locking you up.” Li Miaozhen waved her hand and refused the female ghost subordinate’s request.

Women are all careful, the more beautiful the woman the more careful, about this, Li Miaozhen has never been able to understand.

She prefers the military life of drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat, leading troops and fighting bandits with a quick sense of humor. To put it bluntly…straight male mentality.

“Hmph.” Suu gamely walked away.

…..

Qingping County around Baidi City, the largest restaurant in the county.

The restaurant was chartered for the day, and as the last stop on this tour, the luncheon was prepared sumptuously.

After lunch, the three bigwigs, Governor Zhang, Yang Chuannan, and Song Changsuo, headed by more than a dozen high-ranking officials of Yunzhou, accompanied them, and exchanged their thoughts after the tour in the box of the restaurant.

Governor Zhang took the opportunity to be furious, denounced the officials are all corpses, allowing the development of banditry, resulting in the increase of displaced persons in Yunzhou, people’s livelihood is depressed.

“The words of the governor really make this official sweat.” Minister Song Buzheng said in shame.

“According to the secret report, the banditry in Yunzhou is due to the fact that someone is secretly supporting and channeling military supplies.” Inspector Zhang meant what he said:

“There are those who eat the king’s pay, but do the work of stealing.”

The officials implicitly looked at the silent commander Yang Chuannan, no one for him to speak, but instead, each of them took a position in favor of Governor Zhang rigorous investigation.

Yang Chuannan also did not take a stand, sitting motionless as a mountain, allowing a group of people to speak in a conspiratorial manner.

The entire Yunzhou officialdom’s culture of isolating and suppressing Yang Chuannan was cultivated and molded during the tour.

At this time, a general knocked on the door and came in, Yang Chuannan’s beloved, he coldly swept the crowd of officials, handed a secret letter to Yang Chuannan, turned around and retreated.

Yang Chuannan unfolded the envelope and read it, and a smile blossomed on his serious and silent face, storing the envelope and smilingly saying:

“This official also supports the governor, must be investigated strictly, can not be tolerated. Lord Inspector’s hands are full of capable people, I think we will soon be able to find out the truth.”

Governor Zhang frowned, his eyes fell on the superstitious letter in Yang Chuannan’s hand, and the rest of the officials did the same, guessing what was written on the letter, making Yang Chuannan’s bottom suddenly full.

On the way back to Baidi City, Inspector Zhang lifted the curtain and coughed hard.

Jiang Ruzhong in the front turned around and looked at him, tacitly slowing down his horse and paralleling the carriage.

“I suddenly have a bad feeling…” inspector Zhang looked at the gong who had contributed little to the investigation.

“Is it because Yang Chuan Nan is suddenly arrogant?” Jiang Ruizhong nodded indistinctly.

Governor Zhang “hmmm”, this tour is a padding and test, the purpose is to separate the Yunzhou officialdom, for him to arrest Yang Chuannan preparation.

If the Yunzhou officialdom was of one mind, then he would have to carefully formulate a plan. If they were not of one mind, he would find a way to isolate Yang Chuannan and gain the support of the Yunzhou officialdom.

In this regard, Governor Zhang’s certainty was great, because at the dinner party when he first arrived in Yunzhou, Minister Song had already implicitly revealed some kind of information.

Everything is going very smoothly, Governor Zhang and Song Buzheng, with the cooperation of a “we are ready to engage in Yang Chuannan” signal to the officials, forcing them to have stood in line.

But after receiving that letter, Yang Chuannan all of a sudden have a bottom as if, no longer remain silent, and even smiled and flirted with him.

I don t know what the other party has relied on …. Inspector Zhang rubbed his brow.

“No matter what, the governor just needs to solve the official problems, I’ll be there for the force, and Xu Qi’an will be there to investigate the case.” Jiang Lunzhong held the reins of his horse and said in relief.

Inspector Zhang nodded somberly, “We can only hope for Ning Banquet, I hope he can crack the puzzle as soon as possible and find the evidence left behind by Zhou Min.”

“What a shitty secret code, Zhou Min is simply playing tricks on people.” Jiang Lunzhong cursed.

Inspector Zhang listened, his mood sank a few points.

The large procession rushed back to Baidi City before sunset, and in the golden afterglow, Governor Zhang led the large group in the direction of the stagecoach station.

This moment just curfew soon, the streets have been cleared, should not be able to travel, but this is not the capital, the governor is the biggest official in Yunzhou, the curfew can not restrict him.

The stagehands at the post received word in advance that the governor was returning today, and were feverishly busy with dinner.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the post station, Inspector Zhang stepped off the carriage on the wooden stools laid out by his attendants, and the several gongs who stayed at the post station were waiting in the courtyard, including Xu Qi’an’s three men.

Governor Zhang was worried because of Yang Chuannan’s reaction, and when he saw Xu Qi’an, he was suddenly startled: “What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Qi’an’s eyes were covered in blood, and his black eyes weren’t black anymore, but greenish-black and slightly swollen. It gave the impression as if he would go with the wind at any moment and feather his wings.

Jiang Lizhong came running in stride, gazing intently at Xu Qi’an, “How many days has it been?”

Xu Qi’an said glumly, “It’s been fifteen days.”

“…” Ginger huffed backward, “What’s the status now?”

“It’s okay, any moment now, I guess I’ll die with the world.” Xu Qi Anpi said.

Then it hasn’t reached its limit yet. This kid’s Yuan Shen has so much potential? When he advances to the God Refining Realm, to what extent will his Yuan Shen skyrocket?

A martial artist of the God Refining Realm’s mental power would become extremely sharp, and any wind and grass in the surrounding area could not be concealed from perception, especially if it was with hostile intent.

Thus, a martial artist at the Refined Spirit realm would almost never be ambushed. At the same time, the three elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit intersected and complemented each other, and their battle power would be raised by a notch.

When the two had finished their catching up, Inspector Zhang held back and asked, “Ning Banquet, have you got an inkling about Zhou Min’s coded message?”

“Already got the ledger.” Xu Qi’an replied in a calm tone.

Inspector Zhang was also calm when he heard this, nodding his head and saying, “Don’t be discouraged, you can always unlock the secret code…”

He suddenly paused and wordlessly looked at Xu Qi’an.
