Chapter 1595: The Six Kingdoms Conferring Prime Ministers

Xu Qian'an, who was lying at home recuperating from his injuries, naturally had no idea that his reputation had been ruined, and he could not have imagined that the honor and favor that belonged to him had disappeared. He was no longer the unique time traveler in the Dafeng world.

After Princess Lin'an successfully recruited Xu Xinnian, she took Xu Xinnian to various parties every day. Then Xu Xinnian was like Princess Lin'an's 300 Tang poems, or more like a mascot in Princess Lin'an's hands.

Some people saw Xu Xinnian stealing the show and taking the lead there, and many players couldn't help but learn to be aggressive and make breakthroughs, which soon raised Dafeng's poetry level to a higher level.

One day, after hearing the rumors outside, Aunt Li Ru immediately ran over to question Xu Qian'an, "Ning Yan, how could you be so excessive?"

"Aunt, what's wrong with me?" Xu Qian'an, lying on the hospital bed, naturally had a confused look on his face.

"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong? Did you deliberately plagiarize the New Year's poetry?" However, Xu Qian'an's attitude only increased Li Ru's anger.

"What? Aunt, why don't I understand what you mean?"

"Hmph! Stop playing dumb with me. I'm really disappointed with what you've done."

"..." Xu Qian'an, who was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, was naturally confused. He really couldn't understand what Li Ru meant by this incoherent speech. He turned to look at Xu Pingzhi with an innocent and confused look on his face, "Second Uncle, what is going on?"

"Ning Yan, the rumors are spreading that you stole your brother's poems, and the fact that only half of each poem was stolen is the best proof. Tell your second uncle if that's the case."

"Second Uncle, you never told me that I wrote those poems, did you?"

"But New Year was able to compose an entire poem. How do you explain that?"

"what?"

"Hey! Ning Yan, just take care of yourself!"

"..."

……

However, there are quite a lot of players entering the Dafeng world, and their personalities and morals are naturally mixed. There are those like Xu Xinnian and Xu Qian'an who like to show off, and there are also those like Fuxiang, the top girl in the Jiaofang Bureau, who want to complete the task.

You know, it is very painful to stay in the Jiaofangsi every day and be fantasized by those clients, so since Fuxiang entered the Dafeng world, he immediately regretted his rash behavior.

Because Fuxiang was the top star of the Jiaofangsi, countless officials came to the Jiaofangsi to have sex with her. In addition, Emperor Yuan Jing himself was extremely stupid, so the officials became extremely greedy.

Then, in order to complete the first task as quickly as possible, Fuxiang no longer maintained his previous high profile and no longer emphasized poetry, songs, talented men and beautiful women. Instead, he began to receive those powerful corrupt officials.

Such behavior naturally made Fuxiang lose a lot of stupid fans, but it successfully infiltrated the inner circle of corrupt officials and obtained a large amount of evidence of corruption by these guys.

The Minister of Works, who was targeted by Fuxiang, was a corrupt official. Naturally, he had become Fuxiang's captive. "Hey, Miss Fuxiang, you are so beautiful! Can I redeem you?"

"Okay! Thank you very much for your kindness." At this time, Fuxiang smiled while trying to suppress her nausea.

"Hehe, no problem! No problem! From now on you will be my seventeenth concubine." Sure enough, Fuxiang's answer made the Minister of Works look excited and proud.

Then Fuxiang looked at the corrupt official in front of him with a smile on her face, "Sir, Fuxiang has a request, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Haha, tell me! I will satisfy you." The Minister of Works naturally looked indifferent.

"Fuxiang, please go to your death." The expression on Fuxiang's face suddenly changed. He had never hated corrupt officials as much as he did now.

"Huh? What?"

With a "puff", a sharp blade suddenly appeared in Fuxiang's hand, and then he stabbed it into the corrupt official's heart.

The corrupt official stared at Fuxiang with eyes wide open in horror, but Fuxiang laughed excitedly, "Haha, you bastard official! Become a beast in your next life!"

"you……"

【ding dong】

【Host completes his first kill.】

【The system rated it as five stars.】

[Reward 1: One twenty-year cultivation energy pill. After taking it, the host will gain twenty years of cultivation.]

[Reward 2: A Rejuvenating Pill, which can keep the host young forever.]

"Haha, that's awesome! It's really awesome."

Soon the system announced the news that a player had completed the first kill, which immediately caused a sensation in the information world again. These players who had always been indifferent to the world began to envy and hate him.

The system also cleaned up the whole case for Fuxiang. The body of the corrupt official was hung on the city gate tower, with the sins of his life hanging on his body.

As expected, the people of Dafeng were full of disgust at the corrupt official, but soon the night watchman appeared, dispersed the crowd, and took away the body of the corrupt official.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan Jing was either furious or terrified. "Wei Yuan, tell me! What on earth is going on?"

"Your Majesty, was the murder of the Minister of Works just an accident?" At this time, Wei Yuan could only answer with a stiff upper lip, and also tried his best to calm Emperor Yuan Jing's panic.

"Accident? A simple word like 'accident' is your explanation?" However, Emperor Yuan Jing was not very satisfied with Wei Yuan's answer.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty! This murderer was extremely sophisticated and did not leave us any evidence."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want all these rioters to die."

"Yes! Your Majesty, your servant Wei Yuan obeys your command."

Emperor Yuan Jing then looked at Wei Yuan again and mentioned another person, "I heard that there is a person in your night watchman's office who is very capable in solving cases with a bronze gong?"

Wei Yuan seemed a little surprised, thought for a moment, and replied again, "Huh? Yes! Your Majesty, this man's name is Xu Qian'an, but these are just rumors. His true ability is average, not even as good as the prison warden Su Ning."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, the last case of missing tax silver was actually solved by Suning. Xu Qian'an is just a young man who likes to show off. He was seriously injured while suppressing monsters some time ago."

However, Emperor Yuan Jing realized that Wei Yuan was trying to protect Xu Qiyan. After all, everyone knew that this case was the real hot potato. "Hmph! Wei Yuan, it seems that you value Xu Qiyan very much?"

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yuan was a little flustered after his little tricks were exposed.

"Alright! Then let's follow your lead and promote Prison Warden Su Ning to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, giving him full responsibility for this case."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

……

Su Ningke had never thought about getting promoted in the Dafeng world. He felt that being a seventh-rank prison warden was pretty good, but since Emperor Yuan Jing appointed him, he did not refuse.

Wei Yuan, the leader of the night watchmen, quickly found Su Ning and asked, "Sir, do you have any clues about this case?"

Su Ning, realizing he had been tricked by Wei Yuan, naturally didn't respond in a good tone. "No! I'm a complete landlubber! As everyone knows, I'm just a notorious ruthless official, not some godlike detective who solves cases like a god."

"Don't worry, Minister! The night watchmen and the yamen will cooperate if necessary." Wei Yuan smiled and explained. After all, a man who is willing to castrate himself for a woman is a ruthless person.

"Commander Wei, I heard there's a bronze gong named Xu Qi'an in your night watchmen's office? How about handing him over to the Ministry of Justice?" Then, Su Ning took the opportunity to ask Wei Yuan for Xu Qi'an. Even if Xu Qi'an was truly useless, he was still the hero of the Dafeng world. Sure enough, Wei Yuan's eyes flickered, intending to reject Su Ning. "He's already a cripple. Not only is his face disfigured, but he'll never be able to stand up again in his lifetime."

"I just like collecting waste. Recycling waste is the most fulfilling thing. Besides, I need his ability to judge cases, not his ridiculous strength."

"..." Wei Yuan's face was naturally filled with reluctance at this moment, but after thinking it over, he finally agreed, "Okay! Anyway, he is homeless now, so I will hand him over to your Ministry of Justice from now on."

"Thank you, Commander Wei."

……

In fact, ever since Xu Xinnian suddenly became powerful, Xu Qian'an has become unwelcome at home, mainly because Xu Qian'an is now a useless person.

Therefore, he had no ability to refute Xu Xinnian's accusations at all, and the sudden change made him feel a little at a loss. The physical injuries were far less than the deep hurt in his heart.

At this moment, Su Ning looked at Xu Qi'an, who exuded a decadent temperament, and asked, "Xu Qi'an, I guess you still recognize me, right?"

"Master Prison Warden, I don't seem to have made any mistakes recently?" However, Xu Qian'an, who was now disheartened, was not afraid of Su Ning.

"You have been fired as a night watchman, but now you are an agent of our Ministry of Justice." At this time, Su Ning did not care about Xu Qian'an's attitude. After all, capable people can be allowed to have a little temper.

"What? Even the night watchman doesn't want me anymore?" Sure enough, Su Ning's words made Xu Qian'an look bitter.

"Xu Qian'an, I have always believed that your ability is not poetry, nor is it your martial arts skills or cultivation, but your ability to solve cases."

"Master Jailer, just give me your orders if you have anything to say."

"Smart! I have now been promoted by His Majesty to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, responsible for investigating the murder of the Minister of Works. As long as you are willing to help me, I can satisfy you with whatever you want."

"Sir, is my sister Xu Lingyue okay?"

"Great! She's pregnant with my child now."

"This……"

"Xu Qian'an, I really didn't expect that you, even though you can't even protect yourself right now, would still think of your cheap sister?"

"Actually, Lingyue and I were both abandoned by our families. She was sold by her family, and wasn't I exactly the same?"

"..." Su Ning hadn't expected this showy guy to be so sentimental, so he couldn't help but offer a new bargaining chip, "Xu Qian'an, as long as you are willing to be loyal to me sincerely, I can make you back to normal."

"What? Minister, do you have a solution?" Xu Qian'an looked up at Su Ning in front of him with some excitement and asked.

"Haha, is that so strange? People in this world can fly and hide underground, there are monsters and ghosts, there are really nothing impossible."

"Sir, I am willing to serve you."

"Okay! Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

……

It was easy for Suning to cure Xu Qian'an. After successfully subduing Xu Qian'an, he could also enjoy his achievements comfortably.

However, Fuxiang's first blow caused a sensation among the players. They all remembered their respective tasks, and soon cases of corrupt officials being killed occurred everywhere.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing was in a state of panic. He called Suning to the palace every day to inquire about the progress, fearing that the next blow would fall on his neck.

"Suning, how is your Ministry of Justice's investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, this case is definitely not simple. It is clearly premeditated and planned, so we must patiently unravel it."

"Nonsense! I'm asking how long it will take you to find out?"

"Your Majesty, there's really no way to determine a timeline. This case is far more complicated than we imagined. The best approach right now is to have those officials self-destruct. This way, we can proactively put the corrupt officials behind bars."

"Ridiculous! Are you trying to make the Dafeng court even more chaotic?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"Hmph! Go down! Find the murderer for me as soon as possible."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Suning walked out of the palace hall with an indifferent attitude. He did not take Emperor Yuan Jing's panic and pressure to heart at all. The more panicked Emperor Yuan Jing was, the happier Su Ning felt.

Of course, Xu Qian'an is also carefully reviewing the files and all the case details. When the answer will be found out and who will be held responsible in the end depends on Xu Qian'an's ability to judge the case and the player's luck.

"stop."

"Your servant Suning greets Princess Lin'an."

"Huh! Are you the new Vice Minister of Justice, Su Ning?"

"Exactly."

"Then do you know that Xu Qian'an is a fraud?"

"I don't know what the princess means."

"It's very simple! I really don't like Xu Qian'an's character. You must expel him from the Ministry of Justice. It would be best if he were left on the streets."

"Princess Lin'an, Xu Qian'an is an official agent of my Ministry of Justice. I can't just fire him casually."

"What? You dare to refuse this princess? Do you believe that I will let my father chop off your head?"

"Princess, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't join you in fooling around here."

"You...are bold!"

However, Suning was too lazy to pay attention to the shouting Princess Lin'an. Instead, he turned around and left, which made Princess Lin'an so angry that she jumped to her feet.

Unfortunately, it was obvious that Suning would not give her any face at all, so Princess Lin'an could only sulk alone. She did not expect that there were officials in Dafeng who dared not to give her face.

"Princess, this Minister of Justice is so abominable."

"Let's go! Let's go find the prince and take this guy down."

"Ah? Princess, I think you might as well just beg His Majesty directly."

"Humph! Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

"..."
