Go back to ancient times to explore the case

After the escort team drove past the city gate for a few miles, they stopped at the entrance of an alley, and when the dark board opened, Yan Qingchuan immediately jumped out and walked deep into the alley without looking back.

"Girl, your miss is..." the bodyguard said in a daze.

Xie Yu'an clutched his stomach, struggled to get up, his face was a little pale, "It's okay, brother, thank you, this silver is our kindness, please accept it." She said, she stuffed the silver ingot into the bodyguard's hand, and then Bending slightly, he trotted towards the direction Yan Qingchuan left.

"Master Yan, wait for me."

After hearing this, Yan Qingchuan walked faster, and disappeared as soon as he turned around.

Xie Yu'an managed to relieve the pain in her abdomen. With an ouch, she immediately lay down on the ground and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Ah, it hurts so much, Mr. Yan, I can't get up, it hurts so much."

After a while, Xie Yu'an opened a slit of his eyes and saw that Yan Qingchuan had fallen back and was standing under the backlight, staring at her with a dim expression.

Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand and grabbed the other's wrist, "It really hurts, Lord Yan, pull me up."

Yan Qingchuan pulled her up, and then saw the small wound on Xie Yu'an's mouth, a burst of embarrassment surfaced in his heart, and said coldly: "It deserves it."

"Yes, yes, I deserve it. I was wrong. I have deeply realized my mistakes. I will seriously reflect on them and make positive corrections. I will be a model of morality in Qingtian Division, create outstanding personal achievements, and live up to the cultivation of Qingtian Division. , lived up to Lord Yan’s expectations!”

Yan Qingchuan frowned, stretched out his hand to stop, "Okay, don't be poor, and do business."

Xie Yu'an smiled, knowing that she had coaxed the other party well, she looked a little serious, looked at the magistrate's mansion not far away and said: "There should be evidence of his collusion with the people who sell Nirvana in this corrupt official's mansion. There, maybe we can dig out the people behind Nirvana."

Yan Qingchuan nodded, "Take a look at the magistrate's mansion at night."

At nightfall, two black shadows turned over the side wall of the prefect's mansion. Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an were covered in black clothes and black scarves, with only two pairs of eyes remaining. Xie Yu'an identified the direction of the study and gestured to Yan Qingchuan.

Then the two of them avoided the patrolling guards and entered the study room. Unexpectedly, a fierce palm wind hit them. Xie Yu'an couldn't dodge in time. She closed her eyes to prepare for the blow, but the expected pain did not come. Look, it was Yan Qingchuan who grabbed the opponent's wrist with one hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Rongshi, it's us."

Only then did Xie Yu'an see clearly that there were already two people in black clothes in the study room, it turned out that they were Rong Shi and Luo Yi who had come one step ahead of them.

Rong Shi withdrew his hands, and said with a sigh of relief: "I also thought that you were stopped outside the city, how did you sneak in?"

Yan Qingchuan's face froze, and he walked to the bookshelf and said, "It's not important, quickly find the evidence that the magistrate of Hecheng colluded with the traitor."

Xie Yu'an walked to her side and tugged at her sleeve, "Master Yan, let them look for evidence here, let's go and interrogate this old magistrate."

Yan Qingchuan thought about it for a while, and it's okay, they came here to find out Nirvana, so as to find the real culprit who killed Lord Wei Wei.

The two of them immediately came to the wing of the Crane City Prefect, and after sneaking into the room, Yan Qingchuan drew out a dagger and threw it at the neck of the sleepy Crane City Prefect.

"Master Zhifu, you slept soundly."

The magistrate of Hecheng's beard twitched. It turned out that he had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't dare to make a sound. The concubine next to him was so frightened that he shrank in the corner of the bed, trembling, not daring to say a word.

"Yan, Yan Shaoqing, if you have something to say, please put away the knife."

Yan Qingchuan remained motionless, and pressed the dagger down his neck again, "When you tipped off the news and tried to kill us on the mountain, why didn't you think of having something to say."

The magistrate of Hecheng immediately put on a remorseful expression and said: "The old man is also obsessed with ghosts. He was deceived by the thief's few words and went astray for a while. This time, I will change my mind and serve the people wholeheartedly."

"You are also worthy of mentioning my father!" Yan Qingchuan asked with a colder expression, "Who is the person behind you? Who is manipulating Nirvana?"

"This old man really doesn't know. The only people that this old man comes into contact with are people from the house on Suye Mountain. I really don't know who is behind him."

"How do I find this person?"

The magistrate of Hecheng swallowed his saliva and said, "The biggest gambling house in Nanshi, he is usually there when he is not on the mountain."

Yan Qingchuan put away the knife, and said indifferently: "I'll give you two choices, one, go to Beijing to surrender yourself, and two, return to the Qingtian Division with us at that time, and be interrogated by the three departments, you choose yourself."

The magistrate of Crane City had an ashen expression on his face, and the lightest person on the left and right would end up confiscated and exiled into the army, he sighed, with tears in his eyes, "If you don't delay Yan Shaoqing's investigation, I will go to Beijing to plead guilty on my own. "

"It's so good." After Yan Qingchuan said, he took Xie Yu'an and left the room. At that time, Luo Yi and Rongshi also found a lot of illegal evidence of the prefect of Hecheng's bribery and acceptance of bribes.

The four of them left the magistrate's mansion and returned to the inn in the city to settle down, and decided to go to the gambling house in Nanshi the next day.

The next day, they disguised themselves as men and sneaked into the Nanshi Gambling House. The gambling house was full of men of different ages, speaking foul language and shaking dice cups. It was very smoky.

Xie Yu'an covered his face with a fan, scanned around, and found a familiar face, it was the thin monkey man who ran out of the house when they burned the medicine field that night, and he must also be the connector that the prefect of Hecheng said.

Xie Yu'an bumped Yan Qingchuan's shoulder and motioned her to look.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Yan Qingchuan's eyes sank, and then he walked away from the crowd and walked behind the man. A small knife slipped out from her sleeve, and the sharp blade hit the man's back.

She put her ear next to the man's and said in a deep voice, "Come and lie down with us."

The man was obviously aware of the crisis behind him, his small eyes were half-closed, as if he was thinking about how to escape.

Xie Yu'an squeezed into his side unhurriedly, grinned at him, and threatened in a low voice: "Don't try to run away, why don't you cooperate with us honestly to accept the interrogation."

The man glared at her viciously, but being restrained behind him, he had no choice but to follow them to the deserted alley behind the gambling house.

Yan Qingchuan pushed him to the wall and lay on his stomach, then searched the body briefly, found a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Xie Yu'an, Xie Yu'an flipped through it, and clicked, "They are all records of transactions. .”

Yan Qingchuan put his arm on the back of the man's neck and said, "Tell me, who are you sending to plant and sell Nirvana in Suye Mountain?"

The man snorted coldly, "I advise you to inquire less, he is not someone you can afford."

Xie Yu'an became angry when he heard that, and kicked the man: "You think we will be afraid? So what if it's the king of heaven?"

"I advise you to tell the truth honestly, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood." Rong Shi frowned.

The man gritted his teeth tightly, as if he would never speak.

"Okay, you have to be tough, Mr. Yan, give me the knife." Xie Yu'an said angrily, then took Yan Qingchuan's dagger, and stabbed the man sideways. The man trembled, and immediately closed his eyes and shouted: " Don't! Don't! I say!"

The tip of the knife stopped an inch away from his eyes, Xie Yu'an maintained his posture and said: "Then please."

The man broke out in a cold sweat from the fright, and his expression was terrified. There was no such tough look just now. He swallowed and said, "If I tell you, you, will you protect me? If I tell you, that person will definitely find me. People killed me."

Xie Yu'an frowned: "Who is that person?"

The man opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and an arrow that pierced the air was reflected in the pupils.

Xie Yu'an pulled Yan Qingchuan over to avoid the hidden arrow, and Rong Shi also hugged Luo Yi and dodged to the side.

"Puchi—" There was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh.

Both Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan fell to the ground due to inertia, and when they got up, the arrow that struck from a distance had already pierced the man's heart, and the man slowly slid to the ground with his back against the wall.

Yan Qingchuan turned his head suddenly, kicked off the wall a few steps, flew onto the eaves, and chased in the direction of the arrow.

Xie Yu'an ran up to the man in a few strides, grabbed his arm and asked, "Who is that man, and who is the one who wants to kill you!"

The man opened his mouth, a lot of blood poured out of his mouth, he held on to Xie Yu'an's sleeve tightly, and when his pupils were slack, he spit out a very small sentence.

"Wu... Extreme Pavilion."

Promise Pavilion!

Xie Yu'an, Rong Shi and Luo Yi all heard these words clearly, their faces were solemn, and then they brought the man back to the magistrate's mansion.

Seeing the tragic death of the man, the magistrate of Crane City was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down in front of Xie Yu'an, "My lord, my lord, I already know I was wrong, you will protect me, right, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." As he talked, he hugged and cried with his concubines.

Xie Yu'an was disturbed by hearing this, and went straight back to the room, pacing the room in a state of distraught.

They have obviously been involved in a huge conspiracy, but she has no idea what the leader of this conspiracy is, and what the Wuji Pavilion is planning. disturbed.

And this uneasiness stems more from worrying about Yan Qingchuan's safety. Right now, they are following the clues, and wherever they find out, someone will die there. If they investigate further in the future, it is hard to guarantee that the black hands behind the scenes will attack them.

This time blatantly killing the man in front of their faces, in addition to preventing the identity from being leaked, it may also be mixed with a warning, warning them to stop, but Yan Qingchuan's temperament is clear to Xie Yu'an, even if there is a scourge ahead, thousands No matter how difficult it is, she will never stop.

It was getting dark, Xie Yu'an heard voices in the courtyard, and opened the door to see that it was Yan Qingchuan who came back. Yan Qingchuan looked a little tired and annoyed, and shook his head slightly at her: "That man is very good at lightness kung fu, I chase after him." After leaving the city, I lost him in a forest."

Seeing Yan Qingchuan standing here intact, Xie Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to hug her, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, as long as you are not injured."

Yan Qingchuan didn't push her away until a light cough interrupted their embrace.

Rong Shi came over and said: "If you stay here, you won't be able to find any clues. Let's go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning and report the whole trip to Crane City to Lord Siwei for decision."

Yan Qingchuan nodded, and then several people went back to their rooms. When the next day dawned, they took the prefect of Crane City on the journey back to Beijing.

In order to prevent the magistrate from having the desire to run away halfway, they could only put him in shackles and stuff him into the carriage, while Xie Yu'an guarded him in the carriage.

After all, the carriage is no better than a fast horse, so their journey was slowed down a lot, and they dragged for more than ten days before arriving at the countryside hundreds of miles away from the capital. There was only a village to settle in the first ten miles or so. After discussion, several people decided to hurry on the road as soon as possible.

The carriage was staggering, and Xie Yu'an was knocked into a drowsy state. She opened and closed her eyelids and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly the carriage braked suddenly, and the horse neighed long and sharply, which was especially ear-piercing in this quiet night.

Xie Yu'an's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was about to lift the curtain to see what was happening outside, when she heard the sound of Yan Qingchuan drawing his sword out of its sheath, and a loud sentence "Rong Shi, take them away!"

Xie Yu'an narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw a black figure jumping down from the air in the night with a sword in his hand. The sword body reflected a dazzling silver light, and slashed at the top of Yan Qingchuan's head with his sword.

Yan Qingchuan stepped on the horse's back, jumped back, and after avoiding the blow, he immediately fought with the black shadow.

Rong Shi whipped his horsewhip, and the carriage continued to accelerate forward, Xie Yu'an was furious: "How can you leave Lord Yan behind!"

Rong Shi was about to speak, but Xie Yu'an jumped down, rolled on the ground twice, got up and ran towards Yan Qingchuan.

Rong Shi gritted his teeth, handed the reins to Luo Yi, and said quickly: "I'm going to help Qingchuan, you hurry up, don't look back, wait..." But before she finished speaking, there was another black shadow Falling from the air to the roof of the carriage, the knife stabbed downwards. After a howl in the carriage, the black shadow pulled out the knife, and the knife was already dripping with blood.

After killing the magistrate of Hecheng, he didn't seem to want to stop, he swiped with a big knife, and attacked Rong Shi and Luo Yi.

The horse was frightened, its front hooves were raised high, and it neighed continuously. It quickly lost its direction and ran straight towards the cliff on one side.

The black shadow stepped on the top of the carriage and jumped to the top of a big tree branch. He watched the carriage fall into the cliff, and when he disappeared, he kicked his legs and flew towards the two fiercely fighting figures over there.
