The best county magistrate

After returning to the palace, Yang Xuanchen arranged some courses on the Four Books and Five Classics for Zhao Yanli, as well as some more modern exercises.

Then he went to Master Zhan's Mansion to explain the affairs of the next few days and then left the palace.

Zhang Biao met Xie Tianjie as soon as he drove his carriage out of the inner city, "Master Yang, Tianjie has something to discuss..."

Yang Xuanchen opened the car curtain and saw Xie Tianjie with a haggard look on his face, wondering how this guy ended up in this state after not seeing him for a few days.

Although he didn't like Xie Tianjie, a gay man, from the bottom of his heart, Yang Xuanchen's impression of him had undergone a huge change after his life-saving grace that night.

No matter what, after all, he saved his life.

In addition, the Xie family is in trouble right now, so he must have something to ask for when he comes to me so openly.

"Thank you, Master, please get on the carriage." Yang Xuanchen said and shouted to Zhang Biao: "Second brother, go to Shen Qingyun's place."

The road outside the city was slightly bumpy. After Xie Tianjie got in the car, he covered his mouth without saying a few words. A little blood seeped out from between his fingers, and his face became paler.

"What's wrong, are you okay?" Yang Xuanchen asked with concern, and then asked Zhang Biao to speed up.

Xie Tianjie wiped his hands on his clothes randomly and said with a sad smile: "I'm sorry, do you think I look bad for letting you see this ugly side of me?"

"You guy, you are still thinking about that shit, so please stop worrying." Yang Xuanchen rolled his eyes at him and handed him a handkerchief.

"I don't know martial arts, but I do know some medical skills. Give me your hand..."

As he spoke, he pressed his finger on Xie Tianjie's pulse gate, and Yang Xuanchen's sword eyebrows knitted together after just a few breaths.

"Who hurt you like this?"

Xie Tianjie wanted to speak, but unexpectedly the carriage bumped. The strong vibration aggravated the internal injuries, and a mouthful of blood spurted on the floor.

His face instantly became as pale as a sheet of paper, and his breath became quite sluggish, "Zhen..."

Before he finished speaking, he fainted.

Yang Xuanchen put his head on his lap to prevent blood from flowing back to his lungs and causing more serious injuries.

The carriage arrived at Nishang Tower after a short journey.

After Shen Qingyun's people took over Xie Tianjie, they performed some medical treatment and said they had the injury under control, but they didn't know when he would wake up.

In the room, Yang Xuanchen, Zhang Biao and Shen Qingyun were sitting around the fire. No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed serious and tense.

After a long time, Zhang Biao spoke first, "What the hell is this? Why did you rescue him?"

In response, Yang Xuanchen told what happened in Zuiyue Tower a few days ago, which shocked the two of them.

"You mean Xie Tianjie saved you?" Shen Qingyun frowned and asked, "How did he save you?"

"I don't know how to save him, but that day the Nanman master's knife was deflected a lot for no reason."

"Then he suddenly died... Oh, by the way, the people at Six Doors said there were two needle holes in his forehead!"

After listening to Yang Xuanchen's words, Shen Qingyun frowned even more tightly, "Eye of the needle? Could it be that this guy's weapon is a needle?"

Zhang Biao listened to the conversation between them and immediately rummaged around the unconscious Xie Tianjie for a while, and sure enough, he found a bag with needles hidden in it.

Shen Qingyun took the needle and observed it carefully, "They are silver needles, and some of them are still stained with poison."

Then he turned his head and glanced at Yang Xuanchen, and continued: "It seems that your judgment is correct. He saved you that night."

"However, to be able to use the silver needle to kill within one foot, Xie Tianjie's skill should be at the peak of the heavenly realm."

At this time, Zhang Biao said in surprise: "I'm so fierce when I blanch?"

"There are only a few people in the world who can reach such a height at the age of twenty-seven or eighty. Did he have any adventures?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

"Let's find a chance to ask when he wakes up." Shen Qingyun sighed and said.

After saying this, Yang Xuanchen and Shen Qingyun fell into silence again.

The former was thinking about who Xie Tianjie was hurt by, and why he happened to meet him.

The latter stared at the silver needle in front of him, his brain working rapidly, searching for relevant techniques and legends in the world.

After a while, Xie Tianjie on the couch seemed to be showing signs of waking up. Shen Qingyun helped him up and channeled some of his energy, and soon he woke up.

Under the dim candlelight, Xie Tianjie looked around and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Xuanchen was still there.

"It's great that you're still here."

The weak tone and a bit of coquettishness made Shen Qingyun and Zhang Biao feel goosebumps.

"Mr. Xie, can you tell me who hurt you now?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

"Thunderbolt Hand Sun Buer, the Monkey King Yong Tianxing!" Xie Tianjie said with a look of resentment in his eyes, his fists clenched and his chest heaving.

Shen Qingyun's eyes widened and he was shocked. At this time, Yang Xuanchen asked: "Who are these two people?"

"Buer, the second eldest son of the Sun family in Yunmeng City, is known as the Thunderbolt Hand in the world. Yong Tianxing is a master of the Yong family in Yingzhou, Nanman. He is good at monkey boxing and is known as the Monkey King in the world."

Listening to Shen Qingyun's introduction to the people in the world, Yang Xuanchen frowned again.

"Don't you find it strange how the people of Dayan got mixed up with the Nanman people?" This is what Zhang Biao asked.

This reminded Yang Xuanchen that Wu Changqing had said before when he came to Qingshui County to join the security team that it seemed that the Sun family and the King of Zhennan were very close.

And the King of Zhennan is suspected of colluding with the Southern Barbarians, so the current alliance between the Sun family and the Yong family seems to make sense.

"Mr. Xie, why did they attack you?" Yang Xuanchen stared at Xie Tianjie with starry eyes, trying to find something in his eyes.

Xie Tianjie let out a long sigh and talked about what happened in Zuiyue Tower a few days ago and what happened to the Xie family in the past few days.

"I originally wanted to cut off their financial resources and force them to put pressure on the governor to release my brother."

"But, that bastard Wei Ting..."

Speaking of this, Yang Xuanchen's eyes sharpened, "You mean, the person who injured you was sent by him?"

Xie Tianjie pursed his thin lips and shook his head, saying distressedly: "Listen to me first!"

"I don't know what means Wei Ting used to force Jiang Li to accuse my brother of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"After I came out of Jiang Li's place, I went directly to find Wei Ting. I didn't expect him, a bastard, to be in the Mengsheng Pavilion with Song Guangxin..."

"And there are also Sun Buer and Yong Tianxing present!"

Why is Song Guangxin everywhere?

He was just a minister of the Ministry of Rites, so being close to the people of Dali Temple could explain it. It is thought-provoking that two high-ranking officials of the imperial court were mixed with people from the world.

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What were they doing when you went there?"

"Mengsheng Pavilion is a famous brothel in Fireworks Lane. What else can you do?" Zhang Biao muttered.

"Your second brother is right, of course they are prostitution in the daytime! Four people and eight prostitutes..."

Xie Tianjie then gave some more details, causing Shen Qingyun to ask: "You mean... Sun Buer and Yong Tianxing are together with Song Guangxin?"

"Yes, from my observation, both of them acted based on the look in Song Guangxin's eyes!" Xie Tianjie said decisively.

If Sun Buer and Yong Tianxing are from Song Guangxin, then it can be inferred that Song Guangxin is most likely from King Zhennan.

Yang Xuanchen thought of this and rubbed his chin with his hand out of habit.

"I'll make a hypothesis. Listen to it and analyze it together..."

"Assuming that Sun Bu'er and Yong Tianxing are the twins of King Zhennan, they have an ulterior motive in coming to the capital."

"And Song Guangxin is the head of the hall set up by King Zhennan in Shangjing City..."

"I'm sorry! Third brother, do you mean that all of them are members of the King of Zhennan?" Zhang Biao exclaimed.

"No, no, no, I'm not sure about this. It's just a hypothesis at the moment."

After Yang Xuanchen said something, he paused and continued, "Suppose they are all in the same group, and the Nanman Opera Troupe is exposed."

"Abducting children and killing women is a serious crime. The court will definitely investigate thoroughly, so a scapegoat is needed at this time!"

Having said this, he glanced at Xie Tianjie beside him and said, "Your brother Xie Tianhua is the scapegoat."

"And you, Xie Tianjie, happened to bump into them together. If my guess is correct, you must have started fighting without even saying a few words."

"Besides, Sun Buer and Yong Tianxing definitely don't want to subdue you, but want to kill you!"
