BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138
Xu Qi ‘an’s current team consisted of Golden Jade Hall, evil-suppressing Hall, spring breeze Hall, Directorate of Celestials, Gong Caiwei, and six constables from the government office.
A total of 24 people.
Min Shan and Yang Feng were in charge of verifying the production and usage records of the gunpowder. This was a cumbersome and time-consuming task.
Xu Qian was certain that the gunpowder did not come from the Ministry of Works. However, out of caution, he did not stop his investigation.
They were leaving the capital today. Knowing that the Sang Bo case involved so many forces, Xu Qi ‘an followed his heart’s wishes and tried to bring as many people as possible.
He first made a trip to the Imperial City. The others were stopped outside the Imperial City, and the only one who could walk hand in hand with him was the foodie, Yan Caiwei.
This girl was a frequent visitor to the Imperial City. She came and went as she pleased, and her status was not ordinary.
“Did the eldest Princess give you a jade pendant?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
Yan Caiwei nodded her head.
“I also have one.” Xu Qi ‘an took out the waist Jade given by the princess of Lin’ an and showed it off proudly.
he looks a little familiar ... Ah, Princess Lin an’s?” Yan Caiwei exclaimed.
“I am now Princess Lin an’s people, she really appreciated me. Seeing that the eldest Princess didn’t give me a jade pendant, she quickly gave one to show that she values me more than the eldest Princess and is more worthy of relying on. ” Xu Qi ‘an told the big-eyed girl what had happened yesterday.
“She’s so silly.” Yan Caiwei chuckled and mocked Lin ‘an.
Big brother, don’t laugh, second brother, where did you get the guts to mock me ... “That’s right, not every woman is as smart as miss Caiwei,” Xu Qi ‘an agreed.
The smile on Yan Caiwei’s goose-like face became even sweeter.
Not long after, they finally arrived at Prince Huai’s residence. North vanquishing Prince’s title was King Huai, and he was Emperor Yuan jing’s younger brother, so his mansion was called Prince Huai’s mansion.
There were two white jade Lions in front of the door, and the middle door was six meters tall. Golden Door nails were arranged in an orderly manner, and the bell-shaped door ring was bigger than the mansion of an ordinary noble.
Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t think of any other words to describe it other than’ high-end’.
A row of armored soldiers stood at the door, their expressions solemn.
I am Xu Qi ‘an, the official in charge of the Sang Bo case appointed by His Majesty. I have something to see the princess Consort. Go and inform her immediately. Xu Qi ‘an showed the gold medal.
One of the soldiers glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and said in a deep voice, “”The princess Consort won’t see anyone. Please go back.”
Xu Qi ‘an raised his eyebrows and was about to reprimand him when he heard the soldier sneer and add,”This is also His Majesty’s order. Even if the eldest Princess wants to see the princess Consort, it will depend on our Princess Consort’s mood.
“Get out of here, don’t use a chicken feather as a token of authority.”
“Oh,” Xu Qi ‘an said, suddenly enlightened. so the gold medal given by His Majesty is a chicken feather ... This person has blasphemed against his Majesty and committed the crime of great disrespect.”
With one hand on the hilt of his saber behind his waist, he grinned hideously.”I’m going to arrest the criminal now. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!”
Clang!
The black-gold long blade was unsheathed half an inch, and its Qi fluctuated.
The guard who mocked Xu Qi ‘an knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned pale.
The head of the guards glared at his Blabbermouth subordinate and walked toward Xu Qi ‘an. As he walked, his armor clattered.
“This Lord, the princess Consort is not in the residence.”
“Where did he go?” Xu Qi ‘an sat on the horse’s back and looked at him disdainfully.
“This humble servant is only a gatekeeper, how would I know the whereabouts of the princess. However, she is indeed not in the residence. She just left the city this morning and was only an hour away from you.” The head guard said in a kind tone.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded slightly and said with a strong attitude, “”I’m going to arrest a criminal now. If you don’t want to be judged for protecting your colleagues, then help me arrest this person.”
He pointed at the soldier who had sneered.
“My Lord!” The head of the guards was anxious. He was extremely angry, but he didn’t dare to get angry. He sincerely said,”The princess is indeed not in the residence.”
The guards of the Prince’s residence could not even give face to the nobles when they came.
However, the other party held a gold medal in his hand and had something on his subordinate, so the head guard could only try to make peace.
Xu Qi ‘an finally believed him. He turned his horse around and left with li Caiwei.
“Our wangfei is quite interesting, even the eldest Princess can’t see her.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled and probed.
Chu Caiwei lived up to everyone’s expectations. She did not notice Xu Qi ‘an’s probing at all and answered honestly, “”The princess’s identity is very special.”
“Special in what way?”
“It’s a secret.” “Don’t ask too much about these things, it won’t do you any good.” Li Caiwei grinned.
After she finished speaking, she pulled a long face and warned, “”You’re not allowed to bribe me with food.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m afraid I can’t help it ...” She said, feeling wronged.
.....
There were three tasks for the day. The investigation of County Magistrate Zhao’s death had a relatively accurate result last night. Of the remaining two missions, the consort had not been completed.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had a bad start, felt very cowardly!
He was a serious person at work. He was not in a bad mood because he craved the beauty of the princess Consort and wanted to see her.
Was the princess special? This uniqueness was definitely not in terms of appearance, but in other aspects. Since she was so special, why did Emperor Yuan jing give the beauty to the North-guarding King ... Or was it because of this special reason that Emperor yuanjing gave the beauty to him?
Xu Qi ‘an thought for a moment and then forgot about the princess Consort.
The case was already so difficult to solve, and he couldn’t waste his brain cells on these insignificant trifles.
...
.....
There was a White Phoenix Mountain in the western suburbs of Da Feng. If one set off from the Western City Gate, one could reach it in an hour.
The name of the White Phoenix Mountain came from a type of white wild bird that lived in the mountain. Its tail feathers were very long, like that of a Phoenix, hence the name.
