Chapter 264 (1/2)



264 The trust between people (1)

“You’re early.” Provincial governor Zhang chuckled and left with Jiang Luzhong.

Xu Qi ‘an did not follow them. Instead, he called for three warlocks in white who did not like to eat at the same table as the Warriors, so they had their breakfast in their rooms.

“Young master Xu, you’re here.”

The three white-robed warlocks stood up in a hurry and respectfully invited Xu Qi ‘an to take a seat.

“I have something to ask you …” “Other than the three of you, who else from the Directorate of Celestials came to Yunzhou?” Xu Qi ‘an asked after some thought.

In order to increase the sense of acknowledgment, he specially said,”we, the Directorate of Celestials.”

“There’s no one else, just the three of us,” the three white-robed men looked at each other.

“Are you looking down on me?” Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened.

“… Young master Xu, what are you saying? it’s really just the three of us.” The white-robed Warlock explained.

He wondered if using aura observation would work on warlocks … ‘I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine … “Got it,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

He was just thinking that his three little brothers would not lie to him. Moreover, warlocks definitely had a way to hide their own fate energy. After all, they were professionals.

“There are officials visiting provincial governor Zhang now. The three of you, keep an eye on them from upstairs. Check the changes in their fate and then give me a reply.”

After that, Xu Qi ‘an took the three white-shirted men and hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

….

In the main hall, Governor Zhang received officials of all levels in White Emperor City. Basically, those of a high enough rank in the city were all gathered here.

With such a huge commotion last night, as long as one wasn’t blind or deaf, it was impossible to not know. Not to mention these officials in the city who were closely watching the governor’s every move.

After some small talk, envoy song, who was wearing a red robe, went straight to the point, “”I heard from the soldiers this morning that the governor went straight to the commander’s office last night and captured Sir yang?”

Emissary song, who had slightly high cheekbones and squinted his eyes when he smiled, was now staring at provincial governor Zhang with his eyes wide open.

The other officials were the same.

yes. Governor Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice, ” the Qi party colluded with the witch God sect to deliver military supplies. I’ve captured him and brought him back to the relay station. We’re currently interrogating him.

“This …” The officials ‘expressions changed slightly.

Emissary song bu frowned, lowered his voice, and said with a heavy heart, “”Lord Governor, please be careful, be careful.”

After a pause, he bent over to get closer to provincial governor Zhang and continued,”Sir yang is the Commander-in-Chief. Does Sir have conclusive evidence? Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to convince the masses.”

Even with the authority of a provincial governor, if he wanted to touch a commander of the second rank, he had to have conclusive evidence. Without evidence, it would be taboo to arrest someone.

First of all, Yunzhou’s officials would not agree. Second, the guard Bureau under the command of the commander’s office would not agree.

The former was still fine, at most they would just talk a little, but the latter was a group of Bingy ruffians (author’s note:Soldiers and ruffians can not be associated.

The evidence had to be brought out. Without an explanation, there would be trouble. However, Governor Zhang was not in a hurry to show the evidence. He smiled,

“Everyone, you’ve been officials in Yunzhou for many years. What do you think of yang Chuannan, the commander of the capital?”

Upon hearing this question, the officials expressed their opinions with different expressions.

At the corner of the stairs, Xu Qi ‘an said in a low voice, “”Look, look carefully.”

After a while, he asked again,”which one lied?” The sneaky-looking one on the left, I don’t think he’s reliable. The second one in the back row, he doesn’t look like a good person …”

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the three white-robed warlocks were staring at him silently. Xu Qi ‘an said gloomily, “”What are you looking at me for? speak.”

“None of them are telling the truth …” The white-robed sorcerer mumbled.

Xu Qi ‘an opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything for a while. This was too real. This was what it was like to be an official!

The so-called “not a single word of truth” referred to what the officials present said, which was completely different from what they thought.

However, this did not mean that they were ” werewolves “, because there were too many hypocritical feelings in the officialdom. Out of ten sentences spoken, one sentence was false. In the seer’s Qi observation technique, what was said was false.

There was a limitation to the aura observation technique. He couldn’t be as accurate as a water clock.

Next, Governor Zhang told the officials about the account books, but he didn’t show them to the public.

… The officials exchanged glances. How long had the provincial governor’s team been in Yunzhou? Not even half a year. Three of those days were spent inspecting outside.

But even so, in just a few days, they had managed to find evidence of yang Chuannan’s crimes?

For a moment, all the officials felt a chill in their hearts. Who would dare to say that there was no problem with the 100000 Snow Silver of the Qingzhi Manor in three years?

If Governor Zhang were to make a move against them, none of them would be able to escape.

An official swallowed his saliva and asked, “”The governor has many talented people under him. I wonder which Lord made such a great contribution?”

As he spoke, he glanced at the night watchmen around him.

The other officials silently examined the night watchman, all guessing.

Emissary song bu’s eyes flashed and he smiled, “”I remember that Tong Luo, who is proficient in farming, did not accompany the provincial governor for the inspection that day.”

His words reminded everyone. The high-ranking officials immediately searched for Xu Qi ‘an’s figure.

Some of them looked at Governor Zhang.

“That’s right, it’s this person!” Governor Zhang nodded.
