Chapter 291 The Story Under the Night
The autumn sunset is less brilliant and more gentle.

Its brilliance is already very cold.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial City Division is even colder than the setting sun that is obscured by the lush branches and leaves of the big-leaved banyan tree!

Zheng Wang, the commander of the first office, stood in front of Changsun Jinghong with a pale complexion, looked at the corpse in the coffin on the ground, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him! "

Chang Sun Jinghong didn't speak.

It has been a long time since Zheng Wang delivered Miao Qiufen's body.

He didn't say a word.

Didn't ask a word.

He just kept watching.

He looked at him with a frosty face.

The last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, and the curtain of night was slowly pulled over.

Shang Xunfang, the commander of the second office, silently lit the wind lantern hanging on the tree, only then did Mr. Changsun let out a sigh of relief.

Changsun Jinghong finally looked away. He looked at the darkening night and then at the dim light.

He turned around and sat on the chair, counted breaths in silence, and then asked: "That is to say, Xi Wei, just under your noses, and ran away pretending to be an old Miao?"

Zheng Wang still bowed his body, "Master, that's exactly it!"

He didn't make any excuses. He had many reasons, but he didn't say any of them.

Because talking about it doesn't help, Xi Wei has indeed disappeared.

The information that Miao Qiufen finally sent back was the best chance to find out who Xi Wei was.

But this opportunity was wasted by his carelessness.

Not only was an excellent opportunity wasted, it also caused Miao Qiufen to die because of it.

Zheng Wang felt ashamed and ashamed.

"In this way, our Imperial City Secretary is not a piece of iron bucket."

Changsun Jinghong stroked his long beard, and said: "No one knows the identity of Lao Miao except you few commanders!"

"Go down and let the old man accompany Lao Miao again."

Zheng Wang cupped his hands and saluted: "My lord, this subordinate will definitely catch that spy and bury it with Mr. Miao!"

"Well... this matter, wait for Mr. Vice President to come back and let him arrange it."

"...Subordinates obey!"

……

……

It was the end of Xu Dynasty when Li Chenan and Wang Zhengjinzhong returned to the Imperial City Division.

The Huangcheng Division in the middle of the night is more like a hall of hell.

The lights in the small courtyards and pavilions are still on, but no sound can be heard. Occasionally, there are people walking with lights on the path, and their footsteps land quietly.

In the black night, people in black clothes walk on the black road, and there is a floating solitary lamp.

Li Chen'an felt that it was colder here than in the valley in Xishan.

Especially when he saw a pitch-black coffin next to Changsun Jinghong, he even felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Of course Changsun Jinghong would not place such a coffin for no reason, so, with the help of the dim light, he saw the corpse of the old man in black lying in the coffin.

At this moment, Wang Zheng Jinzhong had already identified it.

He was taken aback, and looked at Changsun Jinghong in astonishment.

Changsun Jinghong sat up, "Haven't you eaten yet? Go to the kitchen and get some food to go with the wine. Let's have a drink."

Wang Zheng Jinzhong left, Changsun Jinghong raised his eyes and looked at Li Chenan, "An old friend, also an old man from the Imperial City Division... sit down."

Li Chenan sat down.

Changsun Jinghong looked at the coffin again and said:
"Everyone in our business, from top to bottom, must know one thing when they come in!"

"That is the person who was born as the Secretary of the Imperial City, and died as the ghost of the Secretary of the Imperial City!"

"After stepping into the palace of the King of Hades, don't miss the human world anymore."

"His name is Miao Qiufen, the former commander of the Second Division...he is the only one among the seven commanders of the Imperial City Division who does not know martial arts."

"His life experience is a bit complicated, and no one knows about it except the old man."

"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, before the incident in Shangchehou's Mansion, he was the chief housekeeper of Shangchehou's Mansion!"

"In the spring of the second year of Zhaohua, Princess Yun'an and Qiao Zitong got married and moved to Meiyuan. Miao Qiufen also went to Meiyuan and became the housekeeper of Meiyuan."

"He is a modest, low-key, and very knowledgeable person... He used to have a good relationship with your grandfather Li Chunfu... Your grandfather often went to the Plum Garden to make tea with Miao Qiufen and talk about poetry and Taoism. "

"Later, what happened in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, Miao Qiufen was one of the few people who escaped from the plum garden. He had nowhere to go, or he didn't want to go if he had a way."

"He came to the Imperial City Division and worked as a clerk for the old man for three years. During those three years, he did not leave the Imperial City Division for half a step...Of course, before that, he rarely showed his face in the capital."

"In this way, the old man asked him to be the chief commander of the second office... He said he was the chief commander, but in fact, the people in the second office only knew his name, and few even met him, because, he interrupted Lost his own legs, changed his name and surname, and acted as a beggar in Kyoto for three years!"

"Under the old man's arrangement, he saved the life of Ji Tai's eldest son, the general Ji Anji who is now guarding Tai'an City."

"In this way, he entered the prime minister's mansion, and gradually became Ji Tai's confidant, and many people thought he was Xiwei."

This is a deep memory belonging to the old man in front of him.

Li Chenan listened very seriously, not only respecting the old man, he also heard some stories about the Imperial City Secretary.

For example, this old man named Miao Qiufen lying in the coffin, he devoted the rest of his life to the only one thing——

Uncover Xi Wei's mask!
To avenge Shangchehou's mansion and Princess Yun'an!
And as the highest leader of the Imperial City Department, Changsun Jinghong has done the same thing these years, but he is to avenge Queen Lu!
They babbled on for a long time, until Wang Zhengjinzhong brought the food and wine on a tray and sat at the table, then he didn't talk about the past.

"Pour the wine... Lao Miao has been alone all his life, and he was betrayed. This matter needs to be investigated, and you are responsible for investigating it yourself!"

"In addition, his grave is also buried on the mountainside of Shuiyun Mountain, so that the two widowed and lonely old men can also have a companion."

Li Chen'an readily agreed to investigate the person who betrayed Miao Qiufen, but he was slightly surprised by the fact that Miao Qiufen was buried next to Sun Tiexian's tomb.

He poured a glass of wine for Changsun Jinghong, and asked, "The two plates of pig tails in front of Grandpa Sun's grave, where did you put them there, my lord?"

Chang Sun Jinghong did not deny it.

He spilled the glass of wine in front of Miao Qiufen's coffin.

"Sun Tiexian...he's actually called Changsun Tiexian."

"My dear brother!"

Li Chenan was taken aback.

"Besides Fan Taohua, you should be the second person who knows about this."

"I kill, he saves."

"I killed many people who deserved to be killed, and he saved many people who shouldn't be saved!"

"He used to like to drink, and his confusion was unrivaled in the world. He was invited to drink a lot by one person... That night, many people died in Kyoto!"

"That night was the third day of October in the third year of Zhaohua!"

"That night, the capital was full of fog, and the shanghai waiting mansion was full of mist!"
