Chapter 2751 Everything is ready, all that is left is Xu Qi'an

The middle-aged man Li Yuchun took out a breath and resumed the previous topic, speaking with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that our investigation was in the wrong direction? It might not be the work of a monster."

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin looked at him, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart. He still couldn't figure out the truth of the matter and asked.

"It's not a monster, so where did the monster wind come from? When the silver entered the river, why did it disappear out of thin air? How could it explode into waves several feet high and crack both sides of the river?"

Li Yuchun and the girl in the yellow skirt didn't know how to explain this question, and showed puzzled expressions. This was what confused them the most. They fell into a deadlock for a while, and the entire back hall was extremely silent.

"puff!"

Only Xu Zisheng was calm and gnawed the sugar cane in his hand leisurely. The sweet juice flowed in his mouth, and he spit out a mouthful of residue in front of Li Yuchun. It was so satisfying.

Li Yuchun took a deep breath. He was a severe mysophobia and had obsessive-compulsive disorder. Looking at the residue at his feet, his whole body seemed to be crawling with ants. He was extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to stop Xu Zisheng, but he was afraid. Xu Zisheng Different from them, he was not only a high-ranking official in the court, but also an official of the Six Departments. He was also born in a prince's palace and had a prominent life experience. He was destined to become a big shot in the court. He was not something Yinluo like him could offend.

There was a bit of resentment on the pretty face of the girl in the yellow dress. Her big eyes were staring at the sugar cane in Xu Zisheng's hand, and her heart was filled with regret. I'm so stupid. Why did I put the sugar cane in his hand? I haven't even taken a bite yet. , seeing how he enjoyed eating it, this sugar cane must be very sweet.

“Is sugar cane sweet?”

A light and sweet voice sounded, followed by the sound of the girl swallowing her saliva. Obviously, a big meat bun did not satisfy her, but made the glutton in her stomach even more restless. Her mind was filled with the sweetness of sugar cane. The bright and bright eyes are full of desire.

"sweet!"

Xu Zisheng nodded shamelessly and took another bite. He was extremely happy when eating. Especially when the owner of the sugar cane looked at it eagerly and cast an envious and longing look, the sugar cane felt even sweeter.

Seeing this, the governor of Jingzhao suppressed the irritability and urgency in his heart and slowly exhaled. He was already at a deadlock and could not find any clues about the case. Now only Xu Zisheng had not expressed his opinion and looked at this aristocratic family. A young man, a hero in the capital, with a touch of kindness.

"I wonder, Sir Xu, have you discovered anything? Do you know the reason why the monster robbed the tax money?"

Xu Zisheng took another mouthful of sugar cane, but before he could answer, Yinluo Li Yuchun frowned slightly and guessed.

"Monsters never care about their intentions when doing things. They do whatever they want. Investigating the reasons is just asking for trouble."

Humans and demons have different paths, so Li Yuchun's tone was full of hostility towards demons. Anyway, as long as bad things happen, they are all done by demons.

"Monsters should prefer eating human flesh instead of taxing money. Hmm, how sweet!"

"Monsters do things without scruples, and money may not be as attractive to them as a living person. Even if they want money, stealing or robbing is safer than taking tax money directly."

In Dafeng Kyoto, the risk of stealing tax money on the street is too great. No monster would be so unwise and do such a stupid thing. Do you really think you can enter and leave Kyoto at will?

Xu Zisheng chewed sugar cane in his mouth and said while savoring the delicious food.

The longing in the eyes of the girl in the yellow dress became more obvious. She stared at the sugar cane. She really regretted it. Was she influenced by Xu Zisheng's virtue just now, so she couldn't help but put the sugar cane in his hand. Now she wants to slap herself. Two-tongued.

"Once there was a very sweet sugar cane in my hand. I didn't cherish it and handed it to him. If I could be given a chance to do it again, I would never do this. I would kill this sugar cane. Hold your hand and eat it, it must be the sweetest sugar cane I have ever tasted!”

Xu Zisheng seemed to sense the endless resentment of the girl in the yellow skirt, and quickly increased his speed. In just a few clicks, he finished the remaining sugar cane. Then he looked at the three people with different expressions with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"The human heart is more sinister than demons. Since the aura of demons has not been detected, it is not the work of demons, it must be man-made!"

"There is no such thing as a monster wind. There are many ways to do this monster wind. For example, I can do it!"

"The wind is coming!"

As soon as Xu Zisheng finished speaking, a strong wind blew in the sky outside. The violent wind blew into the back hall, causing everyone's expressions to change slightly. Their eyes shone with light as they looked at this Confucian hero thoughtfully. Dragon and Phoenix.

"As expected, he is worthy of being a cultivator of the Five Virtues. He follows the rules and changes the rules, which is amazing!"

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is a fourth-grade official. Although he has an ordinary background and has finally climbed to this position, he is still one grade higher than Xu Zisheng, so he can communicate with Xu Zisheng on an equal footing.

"Master Fu Yin still sounds very nice when he talks. Please give me a few more compliments. I love hearing them!"

Xu Zisheng's face was full of pleasure, and he looked at Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, not knowing what modesty was at all.

Jingzhao Fuyin's face stiffened slightly. He had never seen such a shameless person take the initiative to ask for praise. Is he really a genius in Confucianism and Taoism, the number one scholar?

Jingzhao Fuyin coughed dryly to relieve his embarrassment. It was the first time he saw such a direct person. He felt a little uncomfortable. After calming down the turmoil in his heart, he said.

"What Mr. Xu said makes sense. If it's not a monster, then who would steal the tax money? What's the reason? Why does it have to be this batch of tax money, and why does it have to be 150,000 taels?"

"We can think of it this way. The mastermind behind the scenes needs a huge sum of money, but he can't make too much noise! ​​To be precise, he can't amass money unscrupulously."

Jingzhao Fuyin's heart moved, and he seemed to have a guess, but in the end he never said his guess out loud. His eyes became extremely deep and the expression on his face became much more solemn.

"So you're focusing on tax money?"

The girl in the yellow dress pursed her brightly colored lips and continued, with a look on her face that was touched, as if she had guessed something.

"The tax bank escort route is random and is temporarily decided by Xu Pingzhi, a member of the Yu Dao Guard family. However, the monster can ambush in the river in advance. There is very likely to be an insider in the escort team."

Yinluo Li Yuchun said and glanced at Jingzhao Prefecture Yin. He was a watchman and had extremely rich experience in handling cases. He thought thoughtfully. No one present was an idiot. They could think of everything the other party could think of. That's all. First of all, the scope of this case is very large.

"Perhaps we need a Confucian master to inquire about the heart?"

Li Yuchun turned his eyes and looked at Xu Zisheng. This is a ready-made Confucian master. He is powerful and profound. I really don't know how he cultivated. At such a young age, he is no weaker than the famous Confucian scholars of the older generation.

The girl in the yellow skirt glanced sideways at Xu Zisheng, seemingly unconvinced. As a disciple of Si Tian Jian Zheng, she naturally has her own pride. Although she is only at the level of a seventh-grade Feng Shui master, her methods are mysterious and will not go wrong.

"Are you looking down on our Si Tianjian's Qi-gazing technique? I've already told you that the soldiers present to escort the tax bank were completely unaware of it."

The warlock system was created by referring to the wizard system after the first-generation supervisor received the Incense Shinto inheritance and has the ability to control luck. Except for warlocks, other systems are based on high-level experts who first practice to a certain level and then build the system backwards. Warlocks start from low-level and work upwards until the entire system is perfected.

The warlock system is actually the second generation of Jianzheng, which is the will of Heaven. He secretly guided the first generation of Jianzheng to create a system for himself. It can bring the ability of Heaven to its extreme, allowing Heaven to spy on the secrets of heaven and refine magic weapons in the body of a human race. , refine luck and control the destiny of a dynasty. Controlling the Central Plains Dynasty means controlling the resources to cultivate the God of War, in order to cultivate the "gatekeepers" of heaven.

An eighth-grade qi watcher, a warlock, has a clear pupil that can see through qi. One of its functions is lie detection. It also has the ability to shield Qi. If you want to shield Qi for others, you must be at level six or above. The advanced version of the ability to shield Qi is to shield the destiny of heaven. Qi-watching is the most basic ability of a warlock, and all subsequent magical powers are based on Qi-watching.

The train of thought was stuck again for a while, the three of them were silent for a while, and the air suddenly became quiet.

Li Yuchun lowered his head to read the file carefully, and the governor of Jingzhao sighed. The girl in the yellow skirt fiddled with the feng shui plate on her waist, thinking that she would leave Jingzhao Mansion before sunset and go into the palace to have a meal with the eldest princess. The craftsmanship of the palace cooks is first-rate in the world!

Compared with them, the girl in yellow dress named Chu Caiwei acts more as a guest and assists in handling cases. She has no official position. Although she is one of the persons in charge of the case, she does not need to bear much responsibility.

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at Xu Zisheng who had stopped talking, then he cast his gaze on Yinluo Li Yuchun and said tentatively.

"The case is progressing slowly at the moment, and time is of the essence. It's really worrying. Mr. Li, why don't you ask Wei Gong for advice?"

Li Yuchun glanced at him sideways, how could he go to ask Wei Yuan for advice on this matter? As a subordinate, instead of solving the troubles for his superiors and adding more troubles, does he still have the value of existence? He snorted coldly.

"You civil servants have Beijing inspectors, and we also have police officers. To be honest, this case is my assessment by the police officers!"

The governor of Jingzhao gave a wry smile. He was an unlucky guy. Such a big case happened in Kyoto and he couldn't escape his involvement. He said helplessly,

"This case cannot be solved, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the position under my butt. The government and the public are watching us."

Li Yuchun and Chu Caiwei looked slightly moved and remained silent. Only Xu Zisheng had a faint smile on his face and was not anxious at all. Although he knew the whole story and was confident enough to solve the case, there were some things that he couldn't do. After all, he was full of civil and military officials in the dynasty. Who didn't know that there was a huge conflict between the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs.

This matter cannot be done by Xu Zisheng, and requires the cooperation of external forces in order to be convincing, otherwise others will think that he is seeking revenge for involving Zhou Xianping, the current Minister of Household Affairs.

"Everything is ready, all we need is Xu Qi'an!"

Dafeng Jingzhao Mansion, prison. Xu Qian woke up faintly and smelled the humid and rancid smell in the air, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable and her stomach acid surged.

"What's the matter with this stinky smell? The little boy at home pooped on the bed again. Judging from the odor, he probably didn't poop on top of my head?!"

Xu Qi'an has a dog at home, a breed of Husky, commonly known as Erha. I have been drifting in the north for ten years and am lonely. This person, after being lonely for a long time, will inevitably want to get a dog for comfort and entertainment, of course not physically.

Opening his eyes and looking around, Xu Qian was completely confused and looked at the surroundings in disbelief. Why was this not his home?

Walls made of stones, three square windows as big as bowls, Xu Qian was lying on a cold tattered straw mat, the sun shone on his chest through the square windows, and dust particles floated in the beam.

"where am I?"

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment in the confusion of doubting life, and then he completely fell into a state of doubting life. He traveled through time, and memories surged in like a frenzy, without giving him a chance to react, forcefully inserted into his brain, and quickly flow.

Xu Qian, also known as Ning Yan, was a police officer in Changle County under the Jingzhao Mansion of the Dafeng Dynasty. The monthly salary is two taels of silver and one stone of rice. His father was an old soldier and died in the Battle of Shanhai 19 years ago. Later, his mother also died of illness.

Recalling this, Xu Qi'an felt a little relieved. As we all know, it is standard for a time traveler protagonist to have both parents dead, so it seems that he looks like a protagonist.

"I didn't expect that even though I had a new job, I still couldn't escape the fate of being a police officer?"

Xu Qian felt some toothache, grinned, and sighed. In his previous life, he graduated from the police academy, successfully entered the system, and won a golden job.

However, although Xu Qian took the path his parents chose for him, his heart was not in the career of a public servant. He likes to be unrestrained, to be free, to live in a life of luxury, and to like what Ji Xianlin said in his diary: I have no other hope in this life, I only hope that I can have more women.

So Xu Qian resigned boldly and went into business, hoping to become a rich man and increase his wealth. After all, if you have money, you will have women. Money is not everything, but it can solve most of the problems in the world, such as women.

"But why am I in jail?"

Xu Qian worked hard to digest the memory, and soon understood his current situation. Xu Qi'an was raised by his second uncle since he was a child. Because he practiced martial arts all year round and had to eat more than one hundred taels of silver every year, his aunt disliked him.

After Xu Qi'an reached the peak of refining at the age of eighteen, his progress stagnated. Under pressure from his aunt, he moved out of Xu's house and lived alone. Through his uncle's relationship, he got a job as a policeman in the government office, and his life was good.

Who would have thought that three days ago, the seventh-grade green-robed second uncle who was on duty in the imperial sword guard escorted a batch of tax money to the household department. An accident occurred on the way and the tax money was lost, totaling 150,000 taels of silver.

The government and the public were shocked, and the Holy Emperor was furious. He personally ordered that Xu Pingzhi be beheaded five days later, relatives of the three clans would sit together, the men would be sent to the border areas, and the women would be sent to the Jiaofang Division.

As Xu Pingzhi's nephew, Xu Qian was relieved of his duties as a police officer and sent to Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

In two days, he would be exiled to a miserable and desolate borderland and spend the rest of his life in toil.

"The beginning is hell mode!"

A chill ran down Xu Qian's spine, and his heart went cold. The world is under the rule of a feudal dynasty and there are no human rights. Where is the border?

It is desolate and has a harsh climate. Most of the prisoners sent to the border do not survive more than ten years. And more people died on the way due to various accidents and diseases before reaching the border.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an's scalp exploded and he felt a chill. Could this be the treatment of the male protagonist at the beginning of hell mode? Will there be a golden finger?

"system?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Qi'an's probing voice sounded in the silent prison, and the tone of his voice was very full of expectation.

It's a pity that the system ignored the protagonist who traveled across the world. Xu Qian's voice was a little more anxious and panicked. Without the golden finger, he would not be treated as a protagonist, but as cannon fodder.

"System, System Dad, please come out. There is no need to be shy at this time. If you don't come out again, I will be doomed!"

Silence, no system, no system! This means that Xu Qian is unable to change the status quo. In two days, he will be shackled and shackled and sent to the border. With his body, he will not die on the way.

But this is not a good thing. Being used as a tool on the border to squeeze out labor, and finally dying miserably, this fate is really terrible, so terrible!

Xu Qi'an's beautiful fantasy about traveling through ancient times shattered like a bubble, leaving only anxiety and fear.

"I have to find a way to save myself. I can't just receive the lunch box."

Xu Qi'an paced around in the small prison, like an ant on a hot pot, like a beast caught in a trap, thinking hard about countermeasures.

"I am at the pinnacle of refining, and my physical fitness is frighteningly strong!"

Xu Qi'an kept turning his head, talking about his advantages, feeling excited, and then thought about his current fate. It was useless, but his death would be even more miserable.

"But with this level of cultivation, it is impossible to escape from prison! Relying on clan and friends?"

The Xu family is not a wealthy family. The members of the family are scattered all over the country, and a total of 150,000 taels of tax money have been robbed. Who dares to intercede at this juncture?

"According to the great law, if you make up for your mistakes, you will be exempted from the death penalty! Unless I can help find the silver!"

Xu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, like a person on the verge of drowning grabbing a life-saving straw. He is a serious police academy graduate with rich theoretical knowledge, clear logic, strong reasoning ability, and has read countless cases. Maybe you can try to solve the case, recover the money, and make meritorious service.

But then, the light in Xu Qian's eyes dimmed. If he wanted to solve the case, he must first read the files and understand the details of the case. After that comes the investigation and solving of the case.

Now he is stuck in jail, unable to respond to calls every day, and sent to the border two days later. There is simply no solution!

Xu Qian sat down on the ground, his eyes blank. In ancient times, distribution was a severe punishment second only to the death penalty. Although I was severely beaten by society in my previous life, I lived in a peaceful and prosperous age. I talked about how wonderful it would be to be reborn. Without saying a word, I stole my parents’ savings and went to buy a house. Then I cooperated with my mother and broke the hand of my father who loved stock trading. Don't let him be a leek.

"But why did God let me travel through time? What's so good about this ancient feudal society? The beginning is the death hell mode, and if you don't let people live, it would be better to just kill me!"

Just when Xu Qi'an's resentment was enough to feed dozens of ghosts, a turning point came. The sound of chains moving was heard from the end of the dark corridor. It must have been the door opening, and then the sound of footsteps was heard.

A jailer led a handsome scholar with a haggard look to stop in front of Xu Qian's cell door. The jailer glanced at the scholar and warned him.

"You only have half the time to burn incense."
