Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 464 The mare's home was stolen

Emperor Yuanjing set a time limit, and Xu Qi'an was in a great hurry. His first priority was to go to Sangbo Lake with his night watchman colleagues to investigate.

"Xu Qi'an, is this your brother-in-law?"

Among the night watchmen, some knew Gu Qing and some didn't. Upon seeing Gu Qing, they were all curious and wanted to get closer to him so that he could give them some pointers on martial arts.

But Gu Qingchun only saw one move, "Heaven and Earth One Slash," in the watchmen's organization, and couldn't say anything else about it. After a while, Xu Qi'an's colleagues also found it quite boring.

"Ugh……"

Xu Qi'an sighed beside him, but he also knew that the Sangbo case was too far-reaching. Xu Qi'an couldn't handle it alone and needed the power behind Gu Qing to protect him.

With a thought, Xu Qi'an entered Sangbo Lake and investigated the muddy bottom. He saw formations and traces of Buddhism, realizing that the sealed object was related to the Imperial Observatory and Buddhism. Furthermore, after the night watchman intervened, he also discovered that the explosion at the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple Fair was caused by gunpowder. This could only be due to collusion between insiders and outsiders; otherwise, the smell of gunpowder would have been too strong for the participants in the ceremony to detect.

"These witnesses have all been detained by the Ministry of Justice."

The night watchman's report infuriated Xu Qi'an, who turned to Gu Qing and said, "You are the head of the Ministry of Justice, go and bring out the people imprisoned there." Without their testimonies, the case cannot progress.

"My words carry no weight in the Ministry of Justice."

Gu Qing said softly.

"why?"

Xu Qi'an's eyes widened. He had cultivated all the relationships he needed among the night watchmen, and now they were all like brothers. If anything happened, these brothers would really stand up for him.

"Half of the people in the Ministry of Justice don't talk to me, and I don't talk to the other half."

After Gu Qing's brief explanation, Xu Qi'an understood.

Gu Qing carries the background of Yunlu Academy. The bureaucrats from the Imperial Academy dislike Gu Qing and are the first to refuse to speak to him. The other group consists of martial arts practitioners, whose hobbies are simply to play tea and pass the time. This is the group that Princess Huaiqing and Xu Lingyue deeply resent and are determined to prevent Gu Qing from going there.

After this back and forth, Gu Qing cut himself off from everyone in the Ministry of Justice.

"It's really hard to be happy when you encounter someone so clueless."

Xu Qi'an scratched his head in distress and asked, "What do you do every day at the Ministry of Justice?"

Although the overall environment is not good, Gu Qing is also someone who is disrupting the environment.

"Alright, let's go to the Ministry of Justice together to retrieve him!"

Xu Qi'an mounted his horse, looked at Gu Qing, and said, "If the two of us work together properly, we can unleash power beyond what ordinary people can imagine and do earth-shattering things, just like Naruto and Sasuke, or Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede. But you absolutely cannot hold me back, otherwise this combination will become like Gin and Vodka, and then I'll be in big trouble!"

Gu Qing remained silent as he rode on the BMW, saying, "The name you gave me is so hard to pronounce."

Xu Qi'an looked at Gu Qing. Sometimes he felt that Gu Qing was similar to him, but upon closer observation, he felt that Gu Qing was like a pure ancient person. He did not react to his copying of poems, but he would always find a tricky angle to approach him when he was about to pick up girls and then steal away the girls he liked.

It's like Huaiqing, it's like Chu Caiwei.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an can only communicate with Fu Xiang through his soul at the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment venue).

Perhaps this is his nemesis. Xu Qi'an patted the mare beneath him and ran towards the Ministry of Justice. This mare, who had once followed his second uncle, was Xu Qi'an's most steadfast comrade-in-arms.

Ministry of Punishment.

When Xu Qi'an arrived, the Ministry of Justice officials were arguing with the night watchman's gong, and the two sides looked like they were about to fight. Without hesitation, Xu Qi'an drew his sword and beheaded the official in charge of the Ministry of Justice with one stroke!
"I am acting on imperial orders. Anyone who obstructs me will be executed without mercy!"

Xu Qi'an pulled out the gold medal and shouted.

After crippling Zhu Yinluo and being brought out by Gu Qing, Xu Qi'an held his breath, which added a touch of sharpness to his Heaven and Earth One Slash. Now, when he unleashed the slash, it was even more concise, decisive, and deadly.

The officials and soldiers of the Ministry of Justice dared not approach Xu Qi'an when they saw how fierce he was.

Well done, Xu Qi'an! You chopped all my colleagues into minced meat!

Gu Qing watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

"Gu Qing, you are from the Ministry of Justice. His Majesty has appointed you to be in charge of this case. You should prioritize the Ministry of Justice and have the night watchmen assist you. How can you not distinguish between primary and secondary responsibilities?"

Unable to deal with Xu Qi'an, the Ministry of Justice officials prepared to target Gu Qing instead.

Xu Qi'an scoffed. If these people from the Ministry of Justice had a good relationship with Gu Qing, they might be able to use reason and emotion to coerce him. But Gu Qing didn't say a word in the Ministry of Justice and wasn't familiar with anyone. How could they coerce him?
Xu Qi'an raised his hand and killed the man with a single stroke.

The Heaven and Earth Slash, normally, would severely deplete one's strength after slaying a person. However, Gu Qing's perfect slash had allowed Xu Qi'an to grasp the timing. With his strength still abundant, this slash penetrated without leaving any gaps, easily taking the person with it.

Now, the people from the Ministry of Justice didn't say another word. Xu Qi'an led the night watchman inside. Because he was worried about Gu Qing's identity and the potential for disputes inside, he simply had Gu Qing wait outside. Xu Qi'an, relying on his status as a "death row inmate," was determined to solve the case. He killed two more people and arrived at the main hall of the Ministry of Justice. Even when facing the Minister of Justice, he held his knife and faced him directly.

“If you, Minister, come to obstruct me, then you are an accomplice in the Sangbo case, and I will arrest you and put you in the watchmen’s camp.”

"If your Ministry of Justice can't solve a case, I will; if your Ministry of Justice can't arrest a person, I will."

Xu Qi'an displayed the mentality of a desperate madman, which intimidated the Ministry of Justice into not daring to argue. They cooperated and recounted the events, and the night watchman reviewed the statement, gathering a number of clues. Combined with a previous case involving a junior officer of the Imperial Guard, Xu Qi'an identified a suspect.

"I'm the one who can solve this case. I can find so many clues in just one day."

Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief. As for finding someone, it was time for Yunlu Academy, which was behind Gu Qing, to take action.

After a long day of hard work, and still managing to show off at the Ministry of Justice, Xu Qi'an felt incredibly refreshed and exhilarated.

Lost in thought, Xu Qi'an walked out of the Ministry of Justice and headed towards his little mare. As he approached, his eyes suddenly widened in terror, and he stared blankly at everything before him.

While he was painstakingly solving the case and searching for clues, Gu Qing's BMW was stolen, and now she was riding Xu Qi'an's little mare and going on a rampage. This scene made Xu Qi'an's eyes widen and his legs go weak... No!

How could his beloved little mare be ridden like this?

"Ning Yan, you've hit the jackpot!"

Xu Qi'an's colleagues witnessed this scene and were all envious, saying, "If your little mare has any foals, you must save one for me, I'll pay a fortune for it!"

Who among horse breeders doesn't know the value of a stallion?

For the mare to be able to breed with Gu Qing's precious horse is an incredible stroke of luck!
