Start Six Maids

Even the omissions of some officials, big and small, will also be recorded.

It can be said that the Department of Strangeness is not only the first line of defense of the Longyan Empire against demons, but also the eyes and ears of the empress spreading all over the world.

Chu Ci found out a case from several years ago in the file library of the Department of Strange Affairs.

Chen Jinshan was originally a wealthy family in Gusu City, and there was a girl named Chen Yan in his family.

Chen Yan has been versatile since she was a child, and she was born even more delicate and lovely.

As she grew older, Chen Yan became even more graceful, and her name spread throughout Gusu City.

At the age when you can get married, people who come to ask for marriage have broken through the threshold.

The garrison leader of Gusu City is Qin Wei, the third-rank general Xuanwu.

Qin Wei led an army to guard Gusu City, which was quite prestigious.

Qin Wei has a son named Qin Shaowu, Xu was negligent in discipline when he was young, which made Qin Shaowu arrogant and domineering when he grew up.

Relying on the name of his father Qin Wei, Qin Shaowu is also an existence that no one dares to provoke in Gusu City.

Qin Shaowu got entangled with a bunch of cronies and idled around the city of Suzhou all day long. Although he wasn't a bully, he did a lot of evil things.

But with Qin Wei behind him, not only was Qin Shaowu fine, but he became even more arrogant.

One day, Qin Shaowu saw Chen Yan who was admiring the lanterns outside, and was immediately attracted by Chen Yan, feeling coveted in his heart.

So the next day, he ordered the matchmaker to come to ask for marriage.

Taking photos of Qin Wei's fame, Chen Jinshan wanted to agree.

But Chen Yan refused the marriage with death.

Qin Shaowu's reputation is known to everyone in Gusu City. His family has already married six concubines, and he still hangs around Goulan Wasi.

Chen Yan was proud and arrogant, so naturally she didn't want to marry a notorious playboy.

Seeing that his daughter died, Chen Jinshan did not agree, so he stopped thinking about marrying her.

Chen Jinshan thought that by rejecting this marriage, at most he would be suppressed in business, but he didn't expect that the whole family of Chen's family was killed, and only Chen Yan escaped.

Chu Ci flipped through the files, and it was recorded that the Chen Mansion caught fire, and except for Chen Yan herself, all ten members of the family were killed.

It's just that there are quite a lot of suspicious points recorded on it. Under someone's intervention, the former city guard didn't go into it, and just closed the case hastily.

Seeing this, Chu Ci knew that Qin Shaowu was behind the case of the Chen family's extermination.

It was even secretly instigated by Qin Wei himself!

Chu Ci looked at the silent He Sanqing, and said in a deep voice, "Master He, do you want me to uncover the old case of the Chen family?"

He Sanqing shook his head and sighed.

"When the case of Chen's extermination happened, I hadn't been transferred to Gusu city guard yet."

"At that time, the guard of the city was my mentor, Chu Qiudao."

"There were still a lot of doubts in this case that hadn't been resolved, but at that time General Qin Wei intervened, and my mentor had no choice but to close the case hastily."

"Later, my mentor submitted the case to His Majesty, but for some reason there was no news."

"The teacher felt that there was no suspense in this case, so he handed in his resignation a few days later and returned to his hometown in Huaiyin."

"After the teacher left office, I was transferred to Gusu City to take up the post of city guard."

"only···"

He Sanqing shook his head and smiled wryly, "This city guard really can't help himself!"

Chapter 315 The old fox!

Chu Ci looked at He Sanqing in surprise, and asked aloud, "What does Master He mean by this?"

He Sanqing smiled wryly, and said, "Lord Chu, speaking of this matter, I am really ashamed."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said aloud, "Master He, but it's okay to say."

"Hey···"

He Sanqing let out a long sigh, and said quietly, "I have been the city guard of Gusu for more than a few years, but I am like a puppet city guard!"

"General Qin Wei has guarded Gusu City for decades, and his power is deeply rooted!"

"Even in the city guard's office, most of them are officials who are inclined to Qin Wei."

"This official gives an order, but the officials under him obey it. It's not as good as Qin Wei's eyes!"

Looking at Chu Ci, He Sanqing said helplessly, "Like the assassination case of Qin Shaowu a few days ago, Qin Wei put Chen Yan in prison before my official tried the case, and even ordered her to be beheaded in public three days later! "

Chu Ci looked at He Sanqing, and asked in surprise, "Chen Yan's judgment order was not issued by you?"

When He Sanqing heard the words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said, "Before I give the order, my official's seal has already been affixed on the verdict in advance!"

Chu Ci looked at He Sanqing speechlessly.

This official is really wronged!

He Sanqing naturally knew how aggrieved he was as a city guard, but Qin Wei was so powerful that He Sanqing was constrained and had no way to use his methods.

unless···

There are external forces breaking the current balance of power in Gusu City!

And Chu Ci is the sharp blade of He Sanqing's superior position!

He Sanqing suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued steadily, "Lord Chu, regarding the case of Chen Yan, it is really difficult for me to help you."

"Master Chu has to discuss this matter with General Qin Wei!"

Chu Ci looked at He Sanqing and chuckled, "Master He, tomorrow Chen Yan will be beheaded in public, can Master He have a way to postpone it?"

He Sanqing stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "I can delay it for up to three days!"

Chu Ci nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, then please trouble Mr. He to delay for three days!"

Chu Ci stood up, cupped his hands towards He Sanqing and said, "Lord He, farewell!"

He Sanqing stood up and said with a smile, "Lord Chu, I'll see you off!"

He Sanqing graciously sent Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue out of the Chengshou Mansion.

Seeing the backs of Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue walking away, He Sanqing couldn't bear it any longer, and started laughing.

"Ha ha···"

"This is done!"

On the way back to the inn, Chu Ci laughed lightly to himself.

"This old fox!"

Leng Ruxue pondered for a moment, then said, "Master, he wants to use you as a knife?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "He Sanqing is weak in Gusu City, so he is naturally not Qin Wei's opponent."

"If he wants to break the deadlock and truly take on the position of city guard, He Sanqing must rely on external forces!"

"And we are He Sanqing's best tool!"

Chu Ci chuckled, "But we also need He Sanqing to restrain Qin Wei and give us more time!"

Leng Ruxue nodded slightly and asked, "Master, where shall we go next?"

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and meet the owner of Gusu City, Xuanwu General Qin Wei!"

As the commander of the garrison in Gusu City, Qin Wei naturally wouldn't live in the mansion in the city.

Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue kept walking all the way to the outside of the Gusu City garrison camp.

"stop!"

There were guards guarding outside the camp, and they stopped Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue a few feet away.

"The important place of the military camp, no one else is allowed to approach!"

The guards raised their spears and shouted to stop Chu Ci from approaching.

"I'm the Bronze Medalist of Weiqing, and I want to meet your general!"

Chu Ci took off the bronze belt around his waist and threw it to the guards.

The soldiers took the badge, and it was difficult to determine Chu Ci's identity for a while.

"You wait, I'll report to the general!"

The garrison soldiers turned around and walked into the barracks with their tokens.

The barracks tent.

Qin Wei was wearing armor, his face was as gloomy as water.

boom!

Qin Wei raised his hand and pressed it on the desk in front of him, and a deep palm print was dented on the desk as hard as iron.

"Wu'er, father will definitely avenge you!"

"That bitch Chen Yan, father will bury her alive in your coffin!"

"Report!"

Outside the battalion commander, the voices of guard soldiers came.

Qin Wei took a deep breath and shouted, "Come in!"

Whoa!

The camp tent was opened, and the guards walked in.

"I've seen the general!"

Qin Wei looked at the soldiers majestically, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?!"

The guard quickly replied, "Report to the general, there are people outside the barracks begging to see the general!"

Qin Wei frowned, waved his hands and shouted, "No see!"

"Let him go!"

"This..." The garrison guard was stunned when he heard the words, and said in a low voice, "General, he said that he was a bronze medalist because of a strange situation!"

Qin Wei's body shook, and he asked, "Is this true?"

The guard quickly handed over the bronze waist badge in his hand to Qin Wei.

"Look, general, this is his belt badge!"

Qin Wei took the waist card and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

"The Bronze Medal of Weirdness is the story of the story?!"

"What are the people from the strange situation doing in the barracks?!"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Wei returned the badge to the guard.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The guards took the order, turned around and left the camp.

Outside the barracks, the guards returned the badges to Chu Ci.

"My lord, please come in, the general is sympathetic!"

Chu Ci took the badge, nodded and followed the guards into the barracks.

The barracks was full of fighting spirit, and many soldiers were forming a square formation, practicing the technique of rushing and assassinating.

"The general's tent is over there."

The guard pointed in one direction, "Follow me closely, don't go to other places, and don't look!"

Outside the camp, the guards stopped.

"General, people have already been brought!"
