After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 505 Intricate
After another quarter of an hour, the bell stopped.

Sixteen bells stopped at the same time, and the room suddenly fell into emptiness.

The thing is finally gone.

……

After breakfast, he felt refreshed, so He Lingchuan held a toothpick in his mouth and said, "Let's go and have some tea."

This time, they went to Xiangfu.

Although Xiang Yan has taken the elixir, he is actually 84 years old this year.The elixir is not really the elixir. Like other old people, he sleeps lightly and wakes up early.

The entire Xiang Mansion also woke up with him, and the servants were sweeping the courtyard.

Xiangyan himself was feeding two red-billed pearl birds.

Although these two are bird monsters, they are actually smaller than ordinary ones of the same kind.They jump between the branches and leaves, and their body shape and feather color are very beautiful.

The sun was just rising, and the heat hadn't caught up yet, Xiang Yan was also in a good mood.

At this time, the servant came to report: "Master, the special envoy of the prince is here."

With a shake of Xiang Yan's hands, more than a dozen grains of corn fell to the ground, and sparrows flew down from the treetops to peck at each other.

Why is the special envoy of the prince here again?
Suddenly, Xiang Yan didn't want to feed anymore, so he threw Xiao Dou aside and stared blankly for a while.

"Master?" the servant next to him called out.

Only then did Xiang Yan straighten his clothes, let out a breath, and walked towards the main hall.

The servants have invited the special envoy to the hall to have tea.

Xiangfu's tea is very good.He Lingchuan drank one and refilled the second before seeing the old man coming from behind.

"I'm here to bother you again, look at Lao Moguai."

"The special envoy is willing to come to appreciate the honor. My place is full of glory, and it is too late to rejoice." Xiang Yan has been an official in the court for decades, and he will come here when he speaks against his will. He is only enthusiastic and never shows any bluntness. Have you had breakfast?"

He Lingchuan looked at him and said with a smile: "I just ate it, and it's the salty porridge you introduced. The heat is just right. It's really an old shop."

The two exchanged a few words, and He Lingchuan immediately said: "The sky is just right, let's take a walk in the garden?"

Xiang Yan has nothing to do with himself.

The two walked to the garden, talking while walking along the way.

"I heard that Xiang Lao himself is from Baishahao?"

"That is, I have lived here for decades. From childhood to old age, even as an official in the court, I have to come back several times a year."

He Lingchuan smiled and asked the important point: "Has the Cen family been in Baisha for many years?"

"Cen's family, which Cen's family?" Xiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.The special envoy is going to provoke the Cen family next, right?

"Cen Boqing."

"His family, his family and Da Si Nong of Lingxu City are relatives by marriage!" The implication is that none of the officials and dignitaries in Baishahao want to offend his family.

He Lingchuan didn't seem to understand: "That's right, so the Cen family also lives here for a long time?"

"Baisha is beautiful, and Cen Boqing brings her family here every year, who is the eldest daughter of Bega Dasinong. Every time she comes here, everyone goes to visit her. It is also a time when the Cen family is very busy. However, she did not come this year."

When Xiang Yan said this, he coughed lightly: "Master Special Envoy, I heard that there is some misunderstanding between you and the Inspector?"

The special envoy of the prince snatched the wanted criminals in Lingxu City from the inspectors!When Xiang Yan heard the news the day before yesterday, he didn't know what to say.

It turned out that after the special envoy threw the inspector's face on the ground and stomped on the ground a few times, he came to him to ask the old man.

It's a great honor.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "There is some misunderstanding, and it will be solved soon."

When the truth of the case is unraveled, there will be no misunderstanding, only a certain ending.

Xiang Yan couldn't help sighing at the end: "It's fine that you and the inspector have some misunderstandings, Mr. Cen, Cen's residence... even if the prince is here, you should pay a little respect."

He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Why is there no Cen Mansion in the list you gave me a few days ago?"

The last time he came to Xiang Yan, he asked how many of the residents in the northwest corner of Baisha were from Lingxu City and had good relations with Zhongsun's family.

Xiang Yan told him five houses, but there was no Cen House among them.

"Although the Cen family and the Zhongsun family are both officials in Lingxu City, they have nothing to do with each other. During the years when I was transferred to Lingxu City, the two of them had some minor troubles." Xiang Yan stroked his long beard , "However, I have been back to Chiyan for more than 20 years. I don't know if the relationship between his two families has improved. No one in this city usually mentions it."

He knew it was useless to pretend to be confused now, so he simply asked, "Master Special Envoy, have you really found out that the Cen family was involved in the case?"

He Lingchuan nodded: "The clues all point to Cen's residence."

"Conclusive evidence?"

"There is still a lack of critical evidence." He Lingchuan sighed, "Frankly speaking, I arrested two guards of his family. Those two guys came to kill people and silence them, but I intercepted them."

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Two guards are not enough to convict."

"Xiang always understands people." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I lack one piece of evidence that can directly connect the case with the Cen family."

Tiger Jiao Yu said at the side: "Mr. Mai."

"Of course Mr. Mai can, but his whereabouts are unknown now, and he doesn't seem to plan to show up again." He Lingchuan shook his head, "I don't know if it was Cen Fu or Zhong Sunmou, who sent a nightmare to kill me last night."

This was not a conventional method, and Xiang Yan was taken aback: "Special envoy, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I didn't get killed." He Lingchuan sighed, "I chased back, but it turned out that Fan Sheng of Tongxinwei was waiting there, and he fought me without a word. This man is so hard to fight, and he still has a head The giant bear brothers are called Fan, Fan..."

As soon as he mentioned Fan Sheng's name, Xiang Yan stood still and breathed in through his teeth: "Fan Bao?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Does Xiang Lao recognize him too?"

"It's not just recognition! The Fan brothers of Tongxinwei, that's not easy. You were able to come back alive from Fan Sheng's hands, really, really..." Xiang Yanben wanted to say that he was lucky, but when he thought about it, it couldn't be all luck .

It seems that he has always underestimated the young envoy.

"Tongxinwei is the southern garrison of Lingxu City, responsible for the security of the south of the city and nearby areas. They have always been carefully selected talents from the Dragon Army."

After traveling for so long in Beijia country, He Lingchuan had heard the name of the barbarian dragon army.

It was one of Beja's elite troops.

"The three Fan brothers serve as the chief and deputy of this army."

"Oh, wait a minute." He Lingchuan wondered, "Three brothers? I only saw Fan Sheng and Fan Bao last night."

"The commander-in-chief of Tongxinwei, that is, the boss of the Fan brothers, named Fan Long, has outstanding military exploits and tyrannical cultivation." Xiang Yan explained to him, "He and Fan Sheng are blood brothers. Bao, that is the third younger brother they recognize, named by Fan Long himself."

"Let me tell you, Fan Sheng looks like a human no matter what." Human and Xiong can't be brothers, right... right?

"Among the three brothers, Fan Long is the strongest, which is recognized in the army. Fan Sheng's martial arts skills were taught by his elder brother." Xiang Yan glanced at him, "It's not that I am more powerful than others, Fan Long once killed him single-handedly. The big monster beats the wind. If Special Envoy He confronts him, it will be a disaster."

He Lingchuan scratched his head.

Fan Sheng was already difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to have a more domineering elder brother.

If he beats the young one, will it lead to the old one later?

Having said that, "What is the origin of Chifeng?"

"It's a big monster that sneaked up on the Ruins Mountain. It is said that it has the blood of an ancient fairy. Some monsters have always refused to submit to Bega, and this is one of them. At that time, many people from Lingxu City were unable to defeat it. "Xiang Yan shook his head, "Fan Long's style is completely different from the two brothers, shrewd, ruthless, and sophisticated. No one dares to offend such a person easily."

"Anyway, he didn't come." He Lingchuan was heartbroken, "It seems that he has a high position, and Zhong Sunmou still can't invite him."

Xiang Yan didn't know what a coffee position was, and he didn't intend to ask more: "Fan Long has a duty, so he won't leave Xucheng easily."

"Then it's all right." He Lingchuan sighed and changed the subject, "It's hard to find clues, these pickles are handled too cleanly."

"The envoy is here today...?"

"Oh, I want to find another clue, see if Mr. Xiang can help."

Xiang Yan clasped his hands together: "Special envoy, please speak."

This matter is getting more and more difficult.

He Lingchuan said seriously: "The progress of the case has been submitted by Jiao Yu to the crown prince. The crown prince also wrote to me, saying that this matter must be investigated to the end, no matter what the background of the other party is."

After finishing speaking, he handed over Fu Shanyue's handwriting.

Xiang Yan took it respectfully, opened it and read it word by word.

The content above is the attitude of Chiyan Kingdom towards this matter: "Further to the front line of disasters, those who harmed my demon people will be investigated to the end and will not be tolerated!"

The words are conclusive, and there are no ambiguous and discretionary sentences that are common in official documents.

At the end is the prince's big red seal, which is very eye-catching.

After reading it, he returned it to He Lingchuan, and said in a deep voice: "I know this old man, I should cooperate with all my strength, and hope that I can live up to the entrustment of the special envoy."

Having been an old official in the officialdom for decades, Xiang Yan is very clear about He Lingchuan's intention to win the trust, which is to tell him not to steal and play tricks again.

But he has retired after all, and now he is an octogenarian with no power or power.

He Lingchuan smiled: "Just do your best to the old man, I just want to ask you to do something."

Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Please tell me, I won't pass on the knowledge to third parties."

What He Lingchuan wanted was his promise.

"The difficulty now is that we need to find a second physical or personal evidence that can directly relate to the Cen family."

"Is that the curse master Cheng Yu who released the nightmare?" The tiger passed by a big tree, and couldn't help but grind its claws on it.This red sandalwood tree is very expensive, but Xiang Yan doesn't mind, "Even if he can be caught, even if he can testify, it's useless without physical evidence."

Why did they send Cheng Yu to assassinate He Lingchuan?It is because the method of killing in a dream is undocumented.

"He is at most a supporting evidence." He Lingchuan said slowly: "I think there is someone who is very suitable."

On the contrary, Xiang Yan showed concern: "There are many murderous threats around the special envoy, so be careful."

He Lingchuan smiled. This old man is clearly aware of the situation in the city, but he pretended to be ignorant earlier.

Xiang Yan sighed again: "Fortunately, Cen Boqing's wife, the eldest daughter of Da Si Nong of Lingxu City, is not in Baishahao, otherwise this case would be even more difficult."
