Chapter 226 – Xu Qi’an’s Helplessness

The one who died could not have been Minister Song Buzheng, because he had enough time to escape, and there was no reason to sit at home and wait for death.

It was unlikely that the Dream Witch would kill and exterminate him, because it was not yet necessary to exterminate him, and there was enough time to retreat, and there was absolutely no need to go to extremes.

Then why fake a suicide?

Xu Qi’an has two guesses: one, Song Buzhengzhi is also a scapegoat, kill him to silence, is the same as the clues to cut off. At the same time fabricate the illusion of suicide to confuse Governor Zhang.

Two, Sungbuk is stalling.

Previously when discussing the case, Xu Qi’an, Inspector Zhang and the others had a consensus that once the other party was pushed to the end of their rope, it would be an absolute bloodbath.

That’s why Inspector Zhang made unorthodox raids both times, just because he didn’t want to give the other side a chance to react.

But this time, it seemed to be the other side that was a step ahead.

“If it’s a delay, then Song Buzheng’s body is a fake, and as an experienced coroner, how could he not notice the disguise. Unless the coroner is a werewolf ….”

Based on this speculation, then the Lord Inspector is in danger.

At this time, Zhang governor has only Huben guards and Jiang Ruizhong by his side, and most of the night watchmen stay at the post, Jiang Ruizhong is certainly powerful, but don’t forget that there is also a fourth grade dream witch on the opposite side.

Once Jiang Luchong was entangled by the Dream Witch, how could the Huben Guards alone guard the governor’s safety?

It’s the battle-hardened Silver Gong Copper Gong that’s the mainstay in this guard.

Song Buzhengzhi has been operating in Baidi City for many years, and now that Yang Chuannan is a prisoner, he is dominant, and there is no local force that can contain him ….. Although he can’t mobilize the guards’ army, the city’s five cities’ military departments are under the command of the Minister of Public Security. ….

Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an immediately recruited all the night watchmen in the stagecoach station and told them his guess.

When the night watchmen heard, their faces were incredibly serious, although there are still people who will believe it, but the safety of the governor is at stake, it is better to believe it than not.

“Leave four men to stay at the post, the rest follow me.” A silver gong droned.

He glanced at Xu Qi’an, “Xu Ningyan, you will guard the stage.”

Everyone knew Xu Qi’an’s state, not suitable for high-intensity combat, and he couldn’t exert too much outstanding combat power even if he went.

Bringing in horses, more than a dozen night watchmen raced to Song Changsu’s mansion at a fast pace.

…..

“Ning Yan, why did things turn out, turn out like this?”

Song Tingfeng’s face was unsightly, his eyes filled with unease and anxiety.

His gong status is inaccessible to the secrets of the case, and to Sung Ting Fung, as well as the other watchmen, the progress of the case is fractured and sprawling.

Going out to inspect and come back, Xu Qi’an solved the mystery, Governor Zhang arrested the commander Yang Chuannan.

The case seemed to be reversed after Li Miaozhen’s visit to the stagecoach, but the exact process remained unknown to them.

Immediately after that, it was today that a group of dartmen delivered a cripple, and after a secret interrogation by the governor, it turned out that the Minister of Song Buzheng was the one behind it.

It wasn’t until just now, when Xu Qi’an told the crowd of night watchmen the general course of events, that they were able to make sense of it.

Song Tingfeng was now aware of the progress of the case, as well as the situation facing him at the moment, only the news came out of the blue and he still needed to

A little time to digest.

“There is a saying that the battlefield changes rapidly. It’s the same with investigating a case; the enemy won’t wait for you to gather evidence step by step, prepare it properly, and then fold your hands.”

Xu Qi’an was still calm, after all, there was Jiang Luchong, a high-grade martial artist, as well as a group of strong cultivated night watchmen.

“Tingfeng, you leave the city immediately now, go find Li Miaozhen, and tell her what happened in the city.”

In order to play it safe, Xu Qi’an decided to request the help of the Fei Yan Army, Li Miaozhen’s private army was extremely powerful, bringing together Jianghu experts from all over the world, with formidable combat strength.

“Yes!”

Song Tingfeng got up and headed out the door, then quickly doubled back, thumped up the stairs, and a few minutes later, changed into plain civilian clothes.

Clever…Xu Qi’an secretly praised while introspecting, I didn’t even remind him to change into civilian clothes, the SAN value dropped so much?

宋廷风骑上一匹不会堵车的小母马，哒哒哒的走了。

But half an hour later, he came back at a furious gallop on his horse, rushing into the post with a big stride and a hard look on his face, “Ning Banquet, the city gates are closed.”

…Xu Qi’an looked at him wordlessly, a heart abruptly sinking to the bottom.

“I have a feeling something is going to happen.”

Xu Qi’an couldn’t sit still and got up to pace the hall.

“What can happen? Jiang Jinluo is a fourth grade martial artist, throw in the jianghu, that’s a party of lords. Moreover, the rest of his colleagues have also gone over.” Song Tingfeng said in relief.

He was likewise relieving himself and giving himself a boost of confidence.

Even with Da Feng’s national power, as of now, there was only one Zhenbei King who was a Third Grade Martial Artist. At the fourth rank realm, one could indeed walk sideways in the jianghu. Xu Qi’an was used to seeing fourth rank experts in the capital, but that was the capital, the core of the Great Fung.

Of course, the waters of the jungle are deep, and there may be one or two thousand year old wankers hiding.

“The other three city gates must be closed as well, Song Buzhengzhi ….. or the Witch God Cult behind him, has made it clear that he wants to close the gates.” Xu Qi’an paced back and forth:

“Have you thought about it, of course they know that Jiang Jinluo is a fourth rank, and still dare to do so, which means that they have already made sufficient preparations.

“It’s possible that they’ve been plotting since they entered the dream to interrogate you and Hirotaka. We didn’t lock down Song Buzhengzhi, so they could have held back and pressed on.

“But once we know that Minister Song Buzheng is the one behind the scenes, then they won’t hesitate to lift the board.”

“Then what?” Song Tingfeng’s voice trembled a little, “Even if they kill the governor, aren’t they afraid that the court will send troops to surround them.”

“Isn’t this what the Qi Party and the Witch God Cult have been planning for so many years?” Xu Qi’an looked at him, “If it’s not for the sake of plotting rebellion, why would people engage in so much crap.”

Song Tingfeng was a little flustered in his heart, but he was at least a senior night watchman and had seen the wind and waves, so he wasn’t so disoriented.

“There must be a way to get the message out and mobilize the Guard’s army.” He said.

“The governor originally planned to send Jiang Jinluo to kill Xu Huchen and a bunch of other generals this night, and they were lucky to escape.”

Xu Qi’an responded before falling into deep thought.

Old Song had a good line about getting the word out.

After all, Yunzhou is not surnamed Song, otherwise the Qi Party and the Witch God Sect do not need to be so sneaky, the counties aside, this White Emperor City, at least Yang Chuannan command of the Wei Division, can be and Song Buzhengzhu break the wrist.

Song Buzhengji framed Yang Chuannan, may not be no idea of eradicating dissenters, woe is the blessing of it well ….. Xu Qi’an could not help but think of this possibility.

However, Yang Chuannan is currently a prisoner, and his own suspicions have not been completely cleared. Moreover, even if Xu Qi’an wanted to use him, it would be impossible for the seriously injured old Yang to leave the city.

“How about killing your way out of town?”

On the side, Zhu Guangxiao, who had been silent for a long time, muffled his voice.

It was a dangerous path, but it was all he could think of.

“There are only four gongs in the post now, and to face hundreds of city defenders, or even more …. very barely.” Song Tingfeng shook his head, vetoing the proposal.

The city defense force is not a rabble, it is well equipped, with bows and cannons. There must be a few good fighters among them. Relying on the four of them alone, even if they could kill their way out of the city, it would still take some effort.

When we rush to the military camp, inform the Fei Yan army, and then kill back …. I’m afraid that all the turmoil within Baidi City is already over.

There is another way!

Xu Qi’an touched the small jade mirror in his arms and lamented in his heart, I really don’t want to die socially.

“I have a way to inform the Fei Yan Army.” After Xu Qi’an finished speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand, “You don’t need to ask more questions, Tingfeng Guangxiao, the two of you stay at the post station to guard Yang Chuannan and Liang Youping, if the two of them make any movements, they will be executed by decapitation!”

“What do you mean by that?” Song Tingfeng froze.

“I’m going to rush over to the governor’s side…I don’t know why, but there’s always a bad feeling.” Xu Qi’an whispered.

When he finished speaking, he walked out of the post, took his horse, and rushed to the residence of the Song Buzheng Minister.

The streets were crowded with people moving about as usual, completely unaware that a dramatic change was about to kick off.

However, this had nothing to do with them per se. They lived as usual in Yunzhou, whether they changed owners or not.

Xu Qi’an tugged on his horse’s reins with one hand and pulled out the jade shard with the other, and instead of directly transmitting a message to the Second, he first @Golden Lotus Daoist.

[3: Master Jinlian, are you healed?

He reckons that the injury of the Golden Lotus Taoist Master should also be cured, the last time he went to Luo Yu Heng for him to ask for medicine, this is almost a month past, if the injury is no longer good, that is to make it difficult for my fat tiger.

[Nine: Thanks for your concern, it’s been healed for a long time.]

“Phew …..”

Xu Qi’an breathed a sigh of relief, considered a blessing in misfortune.

[III: Please screen the rest of the people for me, I have something important to discuss with Number Two.]

What does No. 3 want with No. 2 that’s so mysterious?

The members of the “Heaven and Earth Society”, scattered in the south and north of the country, stared at the mirror of the message, their curiosity filling their chests.

But after waiting for a long time and realizing that no more information was coming from the fragment of the Earth Book, they realized that the fragment of the Earth Book in their hands had been briefly shielded from receiving any more information.

This kind of secret technique was only in the hands of Taoist priests of the Earth Sect, and that Zi Lian Taoist Master had used the same tactic to shield all of them in the first place.

“This kind of secret technique really makes people hot…”

South of the small savage girl annoyed jade small mirror to the ground, “Boom” sound, the ground shock, jade small mirror embedded in the ground.

[Nine: Three, you can talk now, no one can see your transmission except me and Two.]

Have they already disconnected the network? …. Daoist, actually I don’t want you to see my transmission ah, although you have been coldly observing my operations, but when social deaths occur, the scene can be one less is one… Xu Qi’an spat out while slowing down his horse’s speed, using his finger as a substitute for a pen, and transmitting a letter:

[Two, can you see it?]

Li Miaozhen, who was waiting, returned his transmission in seconds: [What is it that you have to discuss with me?

With a woman’s sixth sense, she thought that what Number Three was going to say next might have something to do with his cousin Xu Qi’an.

Otherwise, one is in the capital Yunlu Academy, and the other is in Baidi City in Yunzhou, more than tens of thousands of miles apart. What could there be to discuss?

[Nine: Do you need me to back off?]

[III: Okay, Taoist, thank you, Taoist.]

[Nine: Heh, it looks like something extremely important, don’t worry, the poor Taoist won’t spread it out.]

…. You damn it! Xu Qi’an’s face froze.

The Taoist priest you like to get into the habit of cat still? If you are, you must keep it up, I will definitely expose it to you in the future …. Xu Qi’an took a deep breath and transmitted the message:

[No. 2, what I’m about to say is very important, so don’t have any hesitation or questioning, listen to what I have to say and act immediately.]

And don’t be overly concerned about my social death, Hsu has a face.

….

PS: Change before you change.
