Chapter 176 (1/2)



176 Chapter 153-character No. 3 collapses?(1)

Hengyuan’s gaze fell on the small Jade Mirror, which he had left at the bottom of the well. In the conflict with Heng Hui, he accidentally fell out of his arms.

After listening to Heng Hui’s story and watching him die in meditation, his heart was filled with sorrow, so he didn’t care about the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld.

Later, the night watchman came. He knew that he would go to the dungeon, so in order to prevent the mirror from being taken away by the night watchman, it was best for him to stay at the bottom of the well.

Hengyuan’s plan was to retrieve the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld if he had the chance to escape. Perhaps Daoist priest Golden Lotus would pick it up for him.

He didn’t expect it to fall into the hands of the night watchman in the end.

Xu Qi ‘an stared at Hengyuan, waiting for his reply.

The Jade Mirror was given to him by Wei Yuan this morning without any other instructions, but Xu Qi ‘an felt that Wei Yuan wanted him to pass the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld to number six.

Seeing the bald man’s long silence, Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea and said slowly, “”This mirror was found at the bottom of the well, so it’s either yours or Heng Hui’s. Its real name is The Earth Book.”

Hengyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at him. Xu Qi ‘an smiled and said confidently, “”There are many people in the world who don’t know it, but that doesn’t include us night watchmen.”

“This is mine,” Heng Yuan lowered his head and said in a low voice.

“As far as I know, this is a treasure of the earth sect. How could it be in the hands of a monk like you?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

I obtained this magic weapon by chance, ” Hengyuan replied. I hope you can return it.

Xu Qi ‘an shook his head and put away the Jade Mirror. He played with it in his hand and said with a smile, “”Master, I don’t think that’s all? Could the magical treasure of the earth sect be explained by a mere ‘meeting of fate’?

“If you are honest and say something useful, I will let you leave. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life in the dungeon of the night watchman.”

Hengyuan was silent for a moment, then he got up and was about to leave.

“Where are you going?” Xu Qi ‘an asked, frowning.

“I’m going back to the dungeon.”

…. Number six’s character wasn’t bad. He didn’t betray the Heaven and Earth Society. Of course, it could also be because he didn’t suffer any punishment. But that’s not what I want. it’s just a magic weapon, ” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice. why do you have to do this, master? is there anything more precious than freedom in this world? ”

Hengyuan didn’t turn around. He only said, ” my Lord, please help me put my shackles back on.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the clerk who was taking the record. “You can leave first.”

The clerk packed up the paper, brush, and inkstone and left the interrogation room.

Xu Qi ‘an coughed, and his tone turned gentle.”Master, please sit, please sit.”

He stood up and pulled on Hengyuan’s arm, showing his respect.

Hengyuan sat back at the table in a daze. He looked at Tong Gong, who had a 180-degree change in attitude. He did not know what he was planning.

“Sir, I don’t know anything. The Earth Book was indeed obtained by chance.” Hengyuan said helplessly.

…. Don’t be so sure, monks don’t lie, you’ll feel awkward later! “Ning must be number six from the Tiandi society,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a faint smile.

S(°?°||| )

Hengyuan’s eyes widened as he looked at him in shock and confusion. The calm temperament on his face disappeared without a trace, and he was now full of hostility and vigilance.

It was as if as long as Xu Qi ‘an revealed a signal that he was going to harm the heaven and earth Association, he would slap the gong to death and Exchange his life for Xu Qi’ an’s.

Xu Qi ‘an lowered his voice and said with his head on the table, “”I am Xu Qi ‘an, a spy that the Yun Lu Academy had placed in the night watchman’s Yamen.

“The fragments of the book of the nether world were not found by the Yamen. I fished them out from the bottom of the well, and I also brought people to find you. And all of this was ordered by number three. He’s my superior.”

Number three? Hengyuan fell into a deep shock. He did not immediately deny or doubt Tong Gong’s words, because at that moment, he thought of something.

number three is a student from the Yun Lu Academy. He has revealed more than once that the Academy has planted people in the various government offices of the Imperial court … As the Orthodox School of Confucianism that had once ruled the Imperial court, such behavior was very normal …

“After the Sang Bo case happened, number three also mentioned the details of the Sang Bo case in the internal letter of the Heaven and Earth Society … There were indeed spies from the Yun Lu Academy in the night watchman’s office …

“But how did No. 3 know my location? That’s right, the Golden Lotus Daoist knows who each of us is. Heng Hui was with me at that time, and the Golden Lotus Daoist would definitely avoid conflict with Heng Hui, so he could only ask for help from others. The best person to ask for help was No. 3, who was in charge of the Sang Bo case and had spies in the Yamen.

I owe number three another life. Number three is indeed a scholar. He’s a chivalrous and trustworthy friend. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to repay this karma in the future. Thinking of this, Heng Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qi ‘an with no hostility. He asked gently, “”What else DID number three say?”

“He said that the spring examinations are approaching and that he is unable to leave the Yun Lu Institute. If he were to encounter similar trouble in the future, he might not be able to rescue them in time. So, let me get in touch with Grandmaster. If Grandmaster needs any help in the future, please feel free to look for me. ”

Xu Qi ‘an added in his heart,”if I need anything, I can look for you. It’s not like I’ll expose number three’s identity.” At least not in the short term.

He didn’t want to reveal himself for the time being. First of all, the image he had established was a little exaggerated. The members of the heaven and earth Association all felt that he was a top elite of Yun Lu Academy, a talented scholar with great knowledge.

In the end, he realized that number three was clearly just a Gong.

Secondly, he had to keep a card up his sleeve and not expose his true identity. This was equivalent to leaving a lot of room for manipulation.

In any case, to Hengyuan, it didn’t make much of a difference whether I was a night watchman or a student of the Yun Lu Academy. I’m not lying.

Hengyuan nodded and took the fragment of the book from the handsome Gong. “In the future, if you need my help, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Master, I’ll take you out now.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled and waved his hand.

After sending off Hengyuan, Xu Qi ‘an returned to the hall of spring breeze. Lu Qing and the other constables from the Yamen no longer came to the Yamen, because they knew that Xu Qi’ an would probably make up for his mistake by killing Princess Ping Yang.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were meditating in the side hall, while Li Yuchun was packing up. Every piece of furniture had to be arranged neatly.

“Boss, I’ll help you …”

“Don’t, don’t move.” stop! Li Yuchun immediately shouted. I’ll do it myself. I can do it myself.
