Dafeng's Night Squad

253 Capturing the criminal (1)

The secret code was unraveled?

At this moment, provincial governor Zhang almost wanted to pick his ears to confirm if they were stuffed with earwax.

In the provincial governor’s plan, Zhou Fu’s case was obscure and difficult. There were no other clues except for the secret code, so it was difficult to investigate. Therefore, he was ready to fight a protracted war. Even if he could not return to the capital before spring, he would investigate the case to the end.

However, he had never expected that before the protracted war had even begun, the evidence would be in his hands. This meant that the Zhou qu case was over, and that the trip to Yunzhou was coming to an end.

It meant that yang Chuannan was finished.

Provincial governor Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qi ‘an over and over again, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

He had to admit that he had still underestimated this young Gong. Because of Duke Wei’s appreciation and Xu Qi ‘an’s ability, he had already given him his greatest confidence. Only now did he realize that he still did not understand him enough.

This child would definitely become great.

Probably because of the 15 days of hard work, Jiang Luzhong only felt gratified about the progress of the case. He felt that this was an achievement within the scope of Xu Qi ‘an’s ability, so he didn’t have much of an emotional reaction. There was only one thought in his mind:

Xu Qi ‘an had the potential.

To be more precise, his golden gong aptitude had become even more stable. If it had been a 50 – 50 chance before, it was now 70 – 30.

Governor Zhang calmed the surprise and excitement in his heart, he nodded with a calm expression,”Come with me.”

He left the crowd and entered the lobby, then went upstairs to his room.

Other than Xu Qi ‘an and Jiang Luzhong, the others didn’t follow.

“Did you get the evidence?”

When Xu Qi ‘an closed the door, the governor’s calm and steady appearance was replaced by a look of excitement.

Xu Qi ‘an took out the account book and handed it over.

Provincial governor Zhang took it eagerly, but he did not open it in a hurry. He took a deep breath and collected all his emotions before he began to read the account book.

“Shocking, shocking ... It’s such a huge sum of money. Yang Chuannan deserves to die.” After reading it, Governor Zhang clenched the account book tightly with his fingers.

... The provincial governor is indeed a scholar. I looked at the account books for a long time and only managed to make some clues. Xu Qi ‘an said in a slightly admiring tone, “”How much is such a huge amount?”

Provincial governor Zhang took a glance at him as if he didn’t hear him and repeated,”Shocking, shocking ...”

.... Xu Qi ‘an understood. The amount was huge, but don’t ask, it would be shocking.

Provincial governor Zhang kept the account book carefully and coughed,”How did you solve the code?”

that’s amazing, ” Xu Qi ‘an immediately described the process of cracking the code in detail. He did not forget to ask for credit for his two colleagues who had died social deaths.

song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao also played an important role. Not only did they actively participate in the decryption, but they were even willing to feed themselves to the ghost and abandon their own dignity. The sacrifice was so great that it was touching.

“Feeding the ghost with my body?” The provincial governor was shocked.

yes, when we were on our way yesterday, there were vengeful spirits blocking the way. Fortunately, song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao risked their lives and fought to the death ... Xu Qi ‘an’s tone was sincere.

the witchcraft cult is good at raising ghosts. Ha, it seems that there are people from the witchcraft cult hiding in White Emperor City. Jiang Luzhong raised his eyebrows.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded and felt that it was reasonable for the witchcraft cult to take the blame. He asked, ”

“Governor, what do you plan to do next?”

“Speed is the most important thing in war!” Imperial governor Zhang stroked his beard and smiled.

“There’s no hurry, we’ll talk after dinner,” he said.

....

At the table, the governor Zhang who ate without speaking had just finished his dinner and beckoned for song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao. He looked at the two gongs and said gently,

“I heard from ningyan that the two of you made great contributions during the investigation.”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao immediately looked at Xu Qi ‘an. They were touched. It was obvious that Xu ningyan was asking for credit in front of the provincial governor.

Merits were a good thing, but it was related to promotion. Secondly, after completing the mission in Yunzhou, the Yamen would give a certain amount of silver according to the individual’s contribution.

And it was very rich.

... My good brother!

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were extremely touched.

this is what we should do. We will share the governor’s burden and be loyal to the Imperial court even if we have to die. Song tingfeng said with a smile.

Zhu guangxiao, who was silent, nodded vigorously.

Provincial governor Zhang nodded approvingly and said with concern, I heard from Ning Yan that during the investigation, you fed your bodies to the ghosts to fight against the vengeful spirits who obstructed the investigation. You made great sacrifices. Is that true? ”

... The touched expressions on song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s faces instantly disappeared, and their expressions gradually stiffened.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“My Lord ... It’s just a small matter, not worth your personal concern.” Song tingfeng forced a smile.

“When the matter is over, I’ll have to write a report. Everyone’s contribution will be recorded and submitted to the Imperial court. They will be rewarded according to their contributions.” Governor Zhang shook his head and said gently.

Both song tingfeng’s faces turned pale, ” Governor, it’s not that I don’t want to, but ... It’s just that my primordial spirit was injured by that vengeful spirit, so my mind is a little weak and I can’t remember the details.”

The two of them moved in sync, one hand covering their face and the other waving.”I can’t remember, I can’t remember ...”

....

After dinner, Jiang Luzhong and provincial governor Zhang led a group of 130 people, including the Tiger roar guards and night watchmen, towards the chief commander’s residence in a mighty formation.

They were fully equipped with weapons such as swords, Spears, bows, and crossbows. They were even equipped with firearms. They were already prepared to command yang Chuannan to put up a desperate resistance.

The reason why Governor Zhang left the arrest operation at night was to catch the other party and the entire officialdom of Yunzhou by surprise. He didn’t give his opponent time to react.

...

Along the way, they encountered two groups of city guards, but they were dealt with by the provincial governor with an even more domineering attitude. With the clanging of iron armor, the arrest team arrived at yang Chuannan’s mansion.

Sitting on the horse’s back, Jiang Luzhong waved his hand.

One of the silver Gong soldiers dismounted from his horse and galloped to the manor gate. He lowered his waist and, after gathering his strength slightly, threw a punch.

BOOM!

The heavy door was instantly torn apart, and broken wood chips shot out.

The night watchmen led the Tiger guards into the mansion, shouting, “”When the governor is handling a case, anyone who stops him will be killed without mercy!”

The guards in yang Chuannan’s residence were all good soldiers. They were unruly and were not afraid of the so-called provincial governor. They held their sabers and fought to the death with the Imperial saber guards.

“Damn it, are these military ruffians used to abusing their power in Yunzhou?” A silver Gong drew his saber with a sinister smile.

There were also experts in the commander’s residence who quickly rushed out to entangle Yin Gong.

“Stop!”

At the same time, yang Chuannan came out in a robe. He knocked back two silver gongs with one punch and saved the lives of several guards.

...

“Hmph!”

Jiang Luzhong, who had been watching the entire battle, stepped forward and spread his five fingers toward yang Chuannan. His knuckles were thick and strong, and his skin glowed with divine light. He did not look like he was made of flesh and blood, but rather, he was made of green gold.

A strong and unstoppable Qi movement enveloped yang Chuannan. As Jiang Luzhong clenched his fist, he was forcefully pulled over.

The fist intent exploded!

The Golden gong landed a punch on yang Chuannan’s chest, and ... It was as if a great Bell had rung between heaven and earth. Everyone could see the divine light around yang Chuannan’s body flash violently before it shattered into fragments of light.

His copper skin and iron bones were broken.

Yang Chuannan was sent flying as he vomited blood.

“My Lord!”

The guards in the mansion were so angry that their eyes almost popped out. They clenched their sabers tightly, ready to burn with this group of uninvited guests.

“All, all of you, stop ...” Yang Chuannan staggered to his feet. His hair was disheveled and his body was on the verge of collapse.

Provincial governor Zhang appeared at the right time. He looked at the commander who was in a sorry state and said in a deep voice,”Sir yang, please restrain your subordinates.”

Yang Chuannan walked over in a daze and stared at provincial governor Zhang,”I’m a second-rank high official, after all. Governor Zhang led a team into my mansion late at night and rashly used weapons ... I’d like to hear your reason.”

“It’s good for you to understand.” Of course, provincial governor Zhang would not take out his treasure in front of the public. He said in a deep voice,

“I’ve already gotten Zhou Fu’s account book.”

“Impossible!” Yang Chuannan’s eyes widened.

“Lord yang, you’ll know when you return to the relay station with me,” sneered Governor Zhang.

take him away! he shouted. anyone who stops you will be killed!

The guards took a step forward and gritted their teeth, but yang Chuannan chided them to stop. Obstructing a provincial governor in handling a case and robbing a “criminal” was a capital crime.

Yang Chuannan did not doubt the watchman’s decisiveness in killing, nor did he doubt Jin Gong’s combat power. He did not want the people under him to die in vain.

Immediately, a Tiger guard stepped forward, took out a chain, and shackled yang Chuannan, then escorted him out of the manor.

More than 130 people left the commander’s mansion in a grandiose manner.

......

Outside White Emperor City, in the Army tent.

“What? The night watchman broke into the Yang residence and took the commander away?”

Li Miaozhen stood up in surprise and stared at a ghost in black who came back to report. This was the spy she had left in yang Chuannan’s residence, and she would replace him every three days.

After all, as time passed, the ghost would not be nourished by the yin Qi and would turn into ashes.

Su Su, who was sitting by the bed, swung her legs and said in a tender voice, “”Is the governor so arrogant? he dares to arrest people without evidence? Although he was the highest official in White Emperor City, he had dared to touch Lord yang without any evidence.

“Master, the Lun family suggests that we gather three thousand soldiers, flatten the relay, and hang that Xu Gong on the walls of White Emperor City.”

Li Miaozhen, who gradually calmed down, glanced at her. yes, that makes sense. Let’s appoint susu as the vanguard of the charging Battalion.

“Let’s do things according to the law,” Su Su said, shrinking her head.

“Get lost,”

“Oh,” Su Su pouted, got up, and left the tent.

“Come back!” Li Miaozhen shouted.

“Yes, Master.” SuSu’s beautiful face suddenly bloomed into a sweet smile.

“Are you sure that Xu Qi ‘an didn’t investigate in secret? And you have the so-called evidence?” Li Miaozhen stared at Su Su suspiciously.

“No, no, I didn’t,” Susu hurriedly shook her head. Her delicate body trembled, and her skirt fluttered.

“Where are the others?”

I was only responsible for keeping an eye on Xu Qi ‘an and his two colleagues. I didn’t pay attention to the other night watchmen.

Li Miaozhen nodded. As long as Xu Qi ‘an didn’t investigate in secret, the others could be ignored. It didn’t matter whether the kid noticed susu following them or not.

Li Miaozhen only cared about what he had done in the past three days. Even if he found out that Su Su was following him, as long as he didn’t investigate the case and made no breakthrough, it didn’t matter if he found out or not.

Since it was not Xu Qi ‘an who had obtained the’ evidence’, then what was the reason and purpose of the provincial governor to arrest yang Chuannan?

Trying to solve it with violence and force it into a confession?

No, the Imperial inspector would not do such an unwise thing.

“Men!” Li Miaozhen shouted.

The guard on night duty outside the tent came in.

“Gather all the troops and enter the city at dawn.”

“Yes!”

Then, she looked at susu. come with me and enter the city overnight. I’m going to visit the governor.”

[ PS: writing in the middle of the night. I got tired, so I laid on the table and took a nap. When I woke up, I continued writing. When I saw that there were still so many readers waiting for me, I instantly felt anxious. I just wanted to quickly write a chapter, or I’d be sorry for all of you. ] He didn’t even check for typos.

I’m going to sleep first. I’ll correct the wrong words when I wake up.The chapter of 00 would definitely be delayed. He would update the two chapters together at night.
