"Catch the criminal!" Leaving the meeting room, Xu Qi'an had no worries and explained directly.
Yang Feng and other Tongluo looked at Xu Qi'an in surprise, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng had some thoughts in their hearts, whether it was the case of the saltpeter mine or the case of the small flag officer, both of them were involved and knew more than others.
If Li Yuchun was here, he would probably be able to clear his mind, but he went to invite Chu Caiwei from Si Tianjian.
"Why hasn't the boss come back yet? Do you want to hire someone all morning?" Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "Is there any trouble?"
Leaving the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as soon as he got on his horse, he saw two yellow horses coming at a fast speed. They were Li Yuchun and Chu Caiwei in a light yellow dress.
Li Yuchun explained: "Miss Caiwei is not in Sitianjian, she has gone into the palace. I waited for a long time at the gate of the imperial city before she came out"
Going to eat at the eldest princess again, this foodie sooner or later, I will let her eat my old grandsonXu Qi'an smiled warmly: "Miss Caiwei, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she is getting more and more beautiful."
Chu Caiwei had a round oval face with a sweet smile on her face. She was about to say something, but when she remembered her identity and the guards around her, she said "hmm" with a straight face.
The matter was urgent, so Xu Qi'an made a long story short: "Min Yinluo, take my gold medal and go to the east gate of the imperial city to arrest Zhou Chixiong and Zhou Baihu.
"The others follow me to the Zhou Mansion to get people."
Because I don't know if Zhou Baihu is on duty today, the soldiers are divided into two groups.
Xu Qi'an's arrangement makes sense. The imperial city is at the foot of the emperor, and there will be no conflicts in the leisure time, and no one dares to do so.
So just go to a silver gong.
And if he went directly to Zhou Baihu's house to arrest him, he would probably jump over the wall in a hurry. Xu Qi'an had just finished performing the Heaven and Earth Slash, and his combat power had declined seriously, so he needed two silver gongs to accompany him
On the other side, Lu Qing was reporting the situation.
"Eunuch Liu, my lords, if it is as expected, there is a very high possibility that there is a demon clan involved behind this matter."
These words changed the faces of the officials present, and Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also frowned.
An official of the Ministry of Punishment did not believe it, and asked, "What basis do you have?"
"A few days ago, Beizhi and Mr. Xu jointly investigated the case of a monster swallowing gray households in Taikang County."
"Monsters devour gray households?" Eunuch Liu frowned.
"Yes, in the middle of the year, a monster came from the river at the foot of the Great Yellow Mountain and devoured hundreds of local gray households. Beizhi and Mr. Xu jointly handled the case, and discovered a clean saltpeter mine in the Great Yellow Mountain ¡±
Lu Qing explained the case of the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan in detail and clearly to the adults present.
This is a very good way to delay time, because the words are not empty words, and the adults listened very carefully without urging.
"So when I communicated with Mr. Xu just now, I analyzed layer by layer and found that the gunpowder may not come from the Ministry of Industry, but is related to the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan." Lu Qing said.
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the government office looked serious. The case actually involved the Yaozu. There are two camps of the Yaozu in Kyushu: the tribes of the Yaozu in the northwest; the kingdom of Wanyao in the south.
The Wanyao Kingdom in the southern border has long since perished in Jiazi's swaying demons, and the remaining remnants linger on.
The demon clan in the northwest formed an alliance with the tribes in the north to fight against Dafeng and the countries of the Western Regions.
Which demon clan force is behind the saltpeter mine?
Eunuch Liu glanced at Chen Fu Yin, who gave an "oh" and endorsed his subordinates: "This is indeed the case, and the government office just accepted the case a few days ago, and it was Lu Butou who was in charge of handling it. "
Eunuch Liu looked gloomy: "If the saltpeter mine could have been discovered earlier, the Sangbo case might not have happened. Why has the monster swallowing case that appeared in the middle of the year been suppressed until now?"
Lu Qinggang wanted to sue the magistrate of Taikang for dereliction of duty and disregarding the lives of gray households, but was stopped by Chen Fuyin with a look.
Old Chen sighed: "The monster is powerful, and the county magistrate of Taikang is also difficult to deal with."
Eunuch Liu snorted coldly: "Our family will report the matter to His Majesty."
Sun Shangshu opened his mouth and glanced at Lu Qing: "What is Xu Qi'an going to do?"
He seemed to see that Lu Qing was delaying the time secretly, and asked the question directly, not wanting to make her beep more.
When Eunuch Liu heard the words, he murmured: "Even if the demon clan has gunpowder, how can they smuggle the gunpowder into Sangbo without the knowledge of the Dafeng Imperial Army and the guards guarding the city?"
"This involves another case.Ah, this is the negative effect brought about by my unique skills, it does not mean that I am Ruan Xiaoer. "
"What is Ruan Xiaoer?"
"Not a good thing."
As he walked and talked, he came to the inner courtyard.
Li Yuchun and Yang Feng came up to meet them, shaking their heads: "The person is gone."
The latter added: "All the valuable things in the house have been removed."
Song Tingfeng immediately grabbed the old concierge over, put the knife on his neck, and shouted, "Where's Zhou Chixiong?"
"Master Baihuhe, he took his wife, young masters and ladies out of the city to visit relatives."
"Then why did you say he was sick?"
"Master Baihu explained it like this, villain, villain, so I will say" The old concierge looked terrified, his legs trembling, and he didn't seem to be lying.
Xu Qi'an asked: "When did you leave?"
"The day the ancestor worship ceremony ended" The doorman swallowed his saliva and begged: "Bai, what crime did Master Baihu commit? The villain doesn't know, doesn't know"
Xu Qi'an waved his hand, signaling Song Tingfeng to let him go.
He led the people back into the house and searched room by room. Except for some of the more precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings being taken away, all the furnishings in the mansion are intact.
"Zhou Baihu escaped!" Li Yuchun said in a deep voice.
"It's too early to say these things." Xu Qi'an glanced at Chu Caiwei.
The beauty with the oval face unexpectedly got what he wanted by accident, leaped up to the roof, opened her clear eyes, and scanned every corner of the Zhou mansion.
She was not looking for someone, but searching for something else. The focus is on gardens and stone wells.
After a while, Chu Caiwei jumped off the roof and shook her head: "There is no corpse hidden in the house, and no one has died here recently Well, it may have been covered up by special means. You can dig three feet and search."
"It's unnecessary." Xu Qi'an sighed: "Whether it's death or escape, this clue is broken."
However, 80% of them ran away, because the people in the house saw Zhou Baihu leaving with his family.
Leading people out of the gate of the Zhou mansion, Min Shan rushed over with a few gongs, and before he had time to rein in his horse, he shouted: "After the ancestor worship ceremony, Zhou Baihu took a long vacation."
Seeing the gloomy faces of his colleagues, his heart sank.
"Escaped." Yang Feng let out a foul breath
As soon as Xu Qi'an took his people away, the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the government office rushed to the Zhou Mansion on horseback. When they saw the collapsed gate, they felt a chill in their hearts.
Invited to interrogate people from all over the house, they learned that Zhou Baihu had fled the capital a long time ago when the watchman had just escaped.
The people in the two yamen were inexplicably complicated, and they didn't know whether to be lucky or regretful
Dusk!
Eunuch Liu returned to the palace before the city gate was closed. With the support of his sons, he changed into casual clothes, took a bath, and was drinking tea before meals.
A little eunuch hurried in and said softly, "Godfather, Your Majesty sent someone to invite you."
Eunuch Liu pinched the center of his brows, and said angrily, "Got it!"
He took a sip of water, asked his son to change his clothes, put on the python robe, and just stepped out of the threshold when he suddenly thought of something.
"Bring us the file, the one our family brought back today."
The little eunuch went back to the house to get it.
All the way to the Jingxin Hall, after passing the pass, he was led into the hall, and saw Emperor Yuan Jing in Taoist robes and long beards.
Emperor Yuan Jing didn't meditate or work. He held a scroll in his hand, but his thoughts were not in the book.
"Liu Rong, I sent someone to supervise the case. It's been a day. What's the harvest?" Emperor Yuan Jing said in a flat tone.
Eunuch Liu's heart trembled, he had been serving in the palace for decades, and even with Emperor Yuan Jing's temper, the more he behaved like this, the more depressed he felt.
Asking whether the case is false, His Majesty is going to lose his temper.
Eunuch Liu was afraid for a while, and then rejoiced. He said in his heart that fortunately, he was prepared, and fortunately, he really gained something today.
"Your Majesty, this is the summary of today's case, and this servant is about to show it to you." Eunuch Liu took out a thin booklet from his sleeve.
