Chapter 322 Miaozhen, don't forget about love, change jobs

Some time after the murderer committed the crime, blood appeared, which showed that the ship was full of bad people.

Of course, it is also possible that they were government officials who repelled the bandits, but this place is very close to Yuzhou City, and it is basically impossible for there to be a large number of water bandits, so the other party is neither a bandit nor an official who is suppressing bandits.

From this perspective, such a violent surge of blood seems very strange.

Xu Qian'an immediately called the night watchman and rushed towards the official ship.

The other party wanted to escape, but the night watchmen were all experts, and soon Xu Qian'an and a few others boarded the barge with a gong.

Seeing a group of night watchmen coming onto the deck, the faces of several clerks changed slightly. They quietly pressed the hilts of their knives at their backs, and their vigilance was obvious.

"My Lords, this is..."

A bearded man ran out of the cabin. He was wearing an official uniform, a tall hat, and a pair of black boots.

After seeing several night watchmen, he forced himself to remain calm and asked, "My Lords, what can I do for you?"

Xu Qian'an asked in a deep voice, "Which government office are you from, and what job do you hold now?"

"I am the captain of the ship guarding the Canal Transport Office, transporting a batch of iron ore to Beijing." The bearded man replied.

Salt and iron are the lifeline of the country, the strategic resources of the Dafeng Dynasty, and the major financial pillar. There is no problem with the identities and jobs of these people, but why do they have such a strong murderous aura?

Xu Qian'an stroked his chin, sizing up the bearded official's actions without saying a word.

The official showed a look of pity on his face when he saw this. He reached into his bosom and searched for a long time, then respectfully handed over three hundred taels of silver.

At the local level, this is the image that night watchmen are portrayed by civil officials as taking advantage of others, harming loyal and good people, and taking bribes and breaking the law.

However, after the three hundred taels of silver were taken out, no one dared to take it for a long time.

Xu Qian'an took the lead in boarding the ship to investigate. No one else knew what Xu Qian'an was going to do, but it wouldn't be for these few hundred taels of silver, right? Lord Xu was not short of money.

"Take us to check the ship." Xu Qian'an said.

Afterwards, the bearded officer readily agreed to Xu Qian'an's request without any intention of stopping him.

So, several night watchmen carefully searched the entire barge, and found boxes filled with iron ore in the cargo hold.

"They are all high-quality iron ores, and the quality is so good, almost abnormally good." Zhu Guangxiao whispered to Xu Qian'an.

When the two of them walked to a deserted place, Zhu Guangxiao said, "Ore shipped into the capital is calculated by weight, and the quality requirements are not so high. The iron ore shipped into the capital from ordinary places is definitely not so fine."

Xu Qian'an understood. Under normal circumstances, officials would adulterate the iron ore in order to enrich themselves, and would not use such high-quality iron ore.

Iron ore has to pass through the hands of many people before it can enter Beijing. Even if there is an honest official in Dafeng, it is impossible for all of them to be honest officials.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be something wrong with this ship.

As the search continued, Xu Qian'an found four cooks sitting in the kitchen with fresh vegetables in baskets beside them.

Xu Qian'an smiled and said, "I ate fish on the boat for several days, which was fishy and tasted bad. Now my eyes light up when I see vegetable leaves."

A cook smiled apologetically, "Yes, it's inevitable that the fish in the river have a fresh and fishy smell. It's normal for adults to not be used to it. People like us who make a living on the water have long been accustomed to it."

Xu Qian'an raised the corner of his mouth, "Oh, so you don't know how to get rid of the fishy smell."

The bearded man and the officials felt very clearly that Xu Qian'an's smile was meaningful. As they were pondering it, they saw faint sparks of electricity flashing before their eyes.

Even the gongs seemed dazzled, and the officers and cooks were knocked down directly.

At this moment, Xu Qian'an activated the Thunder God Speed ​​and then used the Vajra Solution, and with a light punch he could break a person's ribs.

So, after the flash of lightning, five people had already fallen to the ground, holding their chests and abdomens and wailing.

"Capture everyone on the boat and leave them alive." Xu Qian'an has returned to his original position, and because he moved too fast, his clothes are still fluttering.

The Tongluo men attacked without hesitation and captured all the clerks and boatmen on the boat. For the night watchmen, who were all at the Qi training stage, subduing a group of clerks with decent skills was as easy as Xu Qian'an beating Xu Lingyin.

Soon, Xu Qian'an arrested all 62 people on the ship, and then sent someone to report to Governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong.

Both of them knew Xu Qiyan's abilities and did not ask any further questions, leaving it to Xu Qiyan to handle it on his own.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Guangxiao slapped the bearded man away, and the latter lay on the deck groaning miserably.

"Who are you and why are you robbing the official ship?"

Xu Qian'an had told him just now that these people did not know how to remove the fishy smell and must not have lived on the water all year round. Moreover, the traces of fighting in the cabin had not been removed. These people were too docile when facing the night watchman's interrogation.

All signs indicate that this group of people are not officials escorting the iron ore at all.

Following a few slight sounds of steel knives being unsheathed, the bearded man saw that several Tongluo men had already pulled out their knives.

"Please spare my life, sir! I am from the Yellow Flag Gang! We are paid to do the job, not to kill officials!"

"The one who ordered us to do this is the transport officer of the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office. He told us that there is a barge to the capital tonight carrying iron ore, and asked us to kill the guards and seize the iron ore on the ship."

The night watchmen communicated with each other with silent eyes, showing shock. My goodness, this is embezzlement.

The transportation of the Caoyun Yamen was managed by two Yamen. The Paiansi was responsible for managing the warehousing and cargo in and out, while the Gangyunshi was responsible for managing the logistics and transportation. So when the Gangyunshi wanted to embezzle the iron ore, he found some green forest bandits to rob themselves.

"After you rob the iron mine, what will you do next?" Xu Qian'an continued to ask.

The bearded man shook his head and said, "We just need to transport it to Yunzhou. There are people there to contact us. I really don't know how to deal with it afterwards."

Xu Qian'an's mouth twitched. It turned out to be this damn place, Yunzhou. The Canal Transport Office belonged to the Ministry of Works and was the sphere of influence of the Qi Party.

The Qi Party was suspected of secretly transporting military equipment to Yunzhou, and these iron ores were also transported to Yunzhou in this secret way. It seems that this is the truth.

"This isn't the first time you've done this."

"This is the third time this year. A total of 100,000 kilograms of iron ore has been transported to Yunzhou."

Xu Qian'an took a deep breath. This was a huge quantity. These ores were much finer than the refined iron ore transported to the capital.

Afterwards, Xu Qiyan brought the bearded Fang He to meet Jiang Luzhong and Governor Zhang. Both of them were shocked, but at the same time they also admired Xu Qiyan's sense of smell.

The three decided to pretend that this had not happened. The fleet turned to Yuzhou and prepared to go to the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office to arrest the transport envoy who ordered Fang He to hijack the ship.

Along the way, Governor Zhang explained to Xu Qian'an the importance and darkness of the Caoyun Yamen.

"In the 22nd year of Yuan Jing, Duke Wei and Prime Minister Wang joined forces to abolish the policy of selling official positions and titles.

But after only two years of implementation, a large number of unqualified people had entered the canal transport system, and these people were just sitting there doing nothing and bribing their superiors to get into important positions.”

Xu Qian'an raised his eyebrows. The eunuch party and the royal party actually joined forces. Then who advocated this policy of selling official positions and titles?

Without a doubt, it was Emperor Yuan Jing.

What on earth is this dog emperor thinking? He is either thinking about making money or cultivating immortality. Could it be that this Dafeng Dynasty doesn't belong to his Ji family? He is really crazy.

After the ship docked, Governor Zhang and Jiang Jinluo personally led the team to the Gangyunshi Yamen. When the team arrived at the Yamen, they met the transport envoy, brought more than 60 Yellow Flag Gang bandits to court on the spot, and informed the transport envoy of what had happened.

"Governor, I really didn't know anything about this! This must be the case of Yan Kai, the transport envoy, who was blinded by greed and acted recklessly!"

"Yan Kai is on leave today. I will personally lead the way and capture this bastard!"

Under the leadership of the Transport Envoy, the night watchmen and the Tiger Guards surrounded the Yan Mansion layer by layer, and then the night watchmen broke into the house directly.

So many masters swept through the entire Yan Mansion, leaving him no chance to react, but even so they were still a step slow.

The floor of the study was covered in blood. Yan Kai was lying on a chair with his mouth and eyes crooked, a deep wound on his neck, and a dagger on the ground to his right.

Governor Zhang was furious, and the transport envoy named Yang felt dizzy and fell to the ground. After Yan Kai's death, the transport envoy could no longer explain himself.

"Governor, Yan Kai must have committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This case has nothing to do with me. Please be careful and look into this matter!"

Governor Zhang shouted angrily, "Get out, kneel outside the door and wait for your punishment!"

Afterwards, the night watchman inspected the scene and found that Yan Kai had died from a severed carotid artery shortly before everyone arrived.

Based on the deceased's sitting posture and the direction of the wound, Xu Qian'an concluded that Yan Kai did not commit suicide but was murdered.

In the following time, the night watchman and the three astronomical sorcerers brought by Governor Zhang began to inspect and question the officials of the Grain Transport Office according to Xu Qian'an's arrangement.

However, there were no clear clues. The transport envoy was indeed very incompetent, so incompetent that he did not even notice the matter.

That night, after the team disbanded, Xu Qian'an was still thinking about this matter.

It was at this time that Xu Qian'an realized that this trip to Yunzhou was more dangerous than he had imagined.

"Ning Yan, things have gotten serious. Why don't you go to the Jiaofangsi to relax?" Song Tingfeng opened the door directly and extended a sincere invitation.

"No, no, I'm thinking about something." Xu Qian'an said unhappily.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After the fire is cooled down, your mind will be calm and you will think more clearly at that time!" Song Tingfeng knew Xu Qian'an very well. This kind of temptation was not something Xu Qian'an could resist.

Xu Qian'an suddenly had an idea. His mind was indeed clearer and more careful during the sage time.

The matter of sex is indeed disturbing to the mind and destroying the spirit, it is not advisable!

Therefore, it is necessary to resolve it in time!
"Song Tingfeng, ah Song Tingfeng, you can never forget those things in the brothel."

Xu Qian'an complained, but honestly moved his butt off the stool and said, "Let's go!"

Yunzhou.

Jindiao Dazhai, Li Miaozhen’s room, the simple musical notation is a bit monotonous.

There was no dressing mirror or large cabinet for storing clothes, but she continued her habit of learning skills, and there was no shortage of various magical instruments and books in the room.

The most eye-catching things are the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which were all sent by Li Changan.

After taking off her armor, Li Miaozhen was dressed in a red dress, with a graceful and agile figure, completely different from the other girls Li Changan knew.

"who!"

Li Miaozhen shouted, and a white light shot out from his side. A flying sword slashed towards the sudden powerful aura.

The flying sword broke through the air and was dozens of times stronger than the crossbows in the army. An ordinary person who was stabbed by it would die on the spot.

hum!
A figure in green suddenly appeared and gently grasped the flying sword with just two fingers.

The flying sword's momentum was not reduced and the hilt was still shaking, but it could not move forward even a bit!

"Li Lang!"

Li Miaozhen opened her beautiful eyes wide and found that the person who appeared in her room was Li Changan, whom she had not seen for more than a year.

Li Changan waved his right hand lightly, and the flying sword pierced into the ground, leaving only the hilt exposed on the ground.

"Miao Zhen's magic power has improved again. If it was more than a year ago, this sword would have killed me."

Li Miaozhen retracted the flying sword, took two steps to Li Changan, picked up the hand that had just held the sword, and rubbed her slender white fingers on Li Changan's fingers, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's amazing that you can catch the flying sword of a fourth-grade Taoist priest with your bare hands. Have you cultivated to the second grade?"

Li Changan took the opportunity to hold Li Miaozhen's small hand tightly, then put his arm around her shoulders and sat down.

"It's only the third rank, but it may not be impossible to fight against the second rank."

Li Miaozhen blushed, but Li Changan was still the same as before, quietly taking the girl into his arms, not at all shy.

"What decent person would break into a woman's room at night? Li Lang has been in Beijing for more than a year and has learned a lot of bad things."

Li Changan denied, "Although the capital is nice, what's the point without Miaozhen?"

Li Miaozhen chuckled, narrowed her eyes, and pursed her lips and said, "If there is no Li Miaozhen, there is Xu Lingyue, the two princesses, and the delicate Oiran."

"Alas... Miaozhen is irreplaceable." Li Changan said seriously.

"I came to Yunzhou this time to pick up Miaozhen and bring her to the capital."

Li Miaozhen shook her head and said with a smile, "The old Li Lang would never lie. You must be here for the Yunzhou Arms Case."

She thought to herself, she had a small mirror and knew a lot of secret information in the capital.

"Miaozhen, those are just easy things to do. The most important thing is you."

Li Miaozhen felt Li Changan getting closer and closer, and before she could react, she was kissed on her sweet lips.

When the two of them parted, it hadn't come to this yet, and Li Miaozhen's eyes widened in shock.

"Sure enough...I learned a lot."

Li Miaozhen was in high spirits, her lovesickness was relieved, but she couldn't help feeling upset when she thought about Li Changan and other women.

What's more, she is the Holy Maiden of the Tian Sect, and she practices the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions.

When she thought of this, her mood became even more complicated.

"Miao Zhen, you are practicing the supreme forgetfulness of emotions. When you achieve enlightenment in the future, do you have to abandon the friendship in your heart?"

Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "That's right, but maybe there are other ways..."

Li Changan could see that Li Miaozhen had no confidence.

He smiled disapprovingly and said, "Miao Zhen, you are obsessed with appearances. As the saying goes, all things are natural, and different paths lead to the same destination. There are more than a thousand ways to attain enlightenment in the Dao sect."

"The Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions is just one of the ways, and it is not very good. I don't think it is necessary to continue."

Li Changan turned around, stared into Li Miaozhen's bright eyes and said, "Miaozhen, don't forget about love, change jobs."
