122 A broken lead (1)

“Lord Xu, where are we going?” Min Shan asked.

“Arrest the criminal!” After leaving the meeting hall, Xu Qi ‘an explained without any hesitation.

Yang Feng and the other gongs looked at Xu Qi ‘an in surprise. Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng had some thoughts in their minds. Whether it was the saltpeter mine or the small flag officer’s case, the two of them had been involved and knew more than the others.

If Li Yuchun was here, he would probably be able to sort out his thoughts. However, he had gone to invite Chu Caiwei from the Directorate of Celestials.

why isn’t the boss back yet? do we have to spend the entire morning hiring? ” “Are you in trouble?” Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen, he had just mounted his horse when he saw two yellow horses galloping towards him. It was Li Yuchun and Yan Caiwei, who was wearing a light yellow dress.

“Miss Caiwei isn’t in the Directorate of Celestials. She’s gone into the palace. I’ve been waiting for her at the gates of the Imperial City for a long time before she finally came out …” Li Yuchun explained.

He went to the eldest Princess ‘place to get food again. This glutton … In the future, I’ll let her eat a stick from me sooner or later … “Miss Caiwei, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

“The rest of you, follow me to the Zhou mansion to capture him.”

Because they didn’t know if Centurion Zhou was on duty today, they had split into two groups.

Xu Qi ‘an’s arrangement was reasonable. The Imperial City was under the feet of the Emperor. There would not be any conflicts, and no one would dare to do so. However, it was not easy to take people away. They had to have a waist token to open a path.

Therefore, a silver Gong was enough.

But if he went directly to Centurion Zhou’s house to capture him, he would probably be driven to desperation. Xu Qi ‘an had just performed the heaven and earth single blade slash, and his combat strength had dropped significantly, so he needed the company of two silver gongs.

…..

On the other side, Lu Qing was reporting the situation.

“Eunuch Liu, my Lords, if I’m not wrong, there’s a high possibility that the demons are involved in this.”

These words caused the expressions of the officials present to change greatly. Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice also frowned.

An official from the Ministry of Justice didn’t quite believe it and asked, “”Do you have any proof?”

“A few days ago, Lord Xu and I investigated the case of the demons on the great Yellow Mountain devouring the grey households in Taikang County.”

“Demons eat grey households?” Eunuch Liu frowned.

“Yes. In the middle of the year, a demon came to the river at the foot of Mount Huang and devoured hundreds of local grey households. Your humble servant and Sir Xu dealt with this case together, and we found a clean saltpeter mine on the great Yellow Mountain …”
