The entire prefect's office was in chaos.

The prefect took care of the funeral ceremony and received a head of gifts. It was probably the first time that the Ming Dynasty had been founded in the three hundred years. Someone began to flee outside while the chaos was in the chaos. Seeing this, Su Zhengyuan, the chief of the Six Gate, had already sent people to dispatch troops from the front yard to guard all the exits.

Zhou Xiao did not expect that, and ordered the maid to carry the old lady down, looking at Fan Wuchang with a gloomy face, "Can you explain?"

Fan Wuchang was already scared. He clearly sent a Buddha's head, but in less than an hour, the Buddha's head became a human head. When he heard Zhou Xiao's question, his head was in chaos and he said randomly: "A little bit of heart is light, and the courtesy is heavy."

Zhou Xiao sneered, "Your Excellency is quite a bit of ambition. Su Zhengyuan, I will interrogate this evil man later!" Su Zhengyuan quickly took the order, and several servants locked Fan Wuchang on the spot and sent him to the prison.

Zhao Lianjiang was about to stop him, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan. "There is a big problem in this matter. We should make a long-term plan. Fan Xiangshen was detained, which was a good thing for him." Zhao Lianjiang asked, "Why?"

Xiao Jinyan said to explain later, and took two steps forward, came to the lobby, and turned the head back, and was shocked. This head was not someone else, but was Vancouver, the supervisor of the Dengwenyuan who met yesterday, was ordered to come to secretly investigate the rebellion.

Xiao Jinyan only felt a ball of fire burning in his heart.

At the Dengwenyuan, Vancouver had a good relationship with him. Xiao Jinyan was frivolous and caused many troubles. If he had not been taken care of by him, he would have been beaten to death by Li Chuntie. Unexpectedly, he had just met a few days ago and died today.

Xiao Jinyan felt strange. The sword-passing master who was walking with him was not weak in martial arts and was inseparable from him. Although Vancouver’s martial arts are not high, ordinary masters are not opponents. How could he be conspired? He glanced at Zhao Wuji, and saw that Zhao Wuji was also stunned and thoughtful.

Zhou Xiao discussed with Su Zhengyuan for a moment, and Su Zhengyuan shouted, "This person is a gangster from Wansheng Gambling House in the south of the city. He fought to death with someone a few days ago. The body was docked in the front yard. Today, someone made a prank and joked with Mr. Zhou. He really despised my Ming Dynasty. If I found out who did it, I would never give up!"

Zhou Xiao obviously woke up from the shock just now, took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "I would like to keep the secret of today's affairs. If I spread it out, I will never give up." Even though that was said, this order seemed pale and powerless and could not block the mouths of Youyou. I immediately said, "In ten days, I will give you an explanation."

That night, Su Zhengyuan ordered all those involved to write a promise not to spread the matter, and to guarantee that he would not leave Jinling City within the next month and would arrive as soon as possible, so he let everyone go.

backyard.

When he learned that the deceased was the imperial envoy who was the soon-to-be-supervised Su Jin in Suzhou, Zhou Xiao's blood was cold. If he was an ordinary gangster, then it would be fine. The imperial envoy died in his own jurisdiction. If such a thing was passed to the superior yamen, it would be a disaster for beheading.

He took a few sips of hot tea and took a breath, "Check it out and clean up the fineness."

The master asked, "Sir, are you?"

"The imperial envoy is dead. We don't run away. Are you still waiting for someone else to collect our bodies?"

Master Yao said: "Sir, this is the world of the Great Ming Dynasty. Even if you want to run, where can you run? What's more, this is not a good thing."

"Good thing? Or, you should be the prefect."

Master Yao analyzed: "He came here for a private visit on a private occasion this time, and no one had seen the imperial envoy. If it really doesn't work, I will make Feng Jing like a Ma Liang at that time. As long as I find his documents and seals, I will come out of Suzhou City. I will have a grand ceremony and send the imperial envoy out of the city under the eyes of Suzhou City. At that time, I will die or live, what does it have to do with us?"

"Isn't this the crime of deceiving the monarch?"

Master Yao said when it was time to do it cheaply, not to mention that you did the same thing back then.

Zhou Xiao then realized that this was the solution, and you can do it, and no one was allowed to disclose the news.

Master Yao said again, "Also, wasn't this gift given by Fan Wuchang? Isn't the adults always thinking about his family's property? He just took advantage of this opportunity, hehe... This is a killing two birds with one stone. The most urgent task is to find the body of the imperial envoy, and also the official seal."

Zhou Xiao calmed down with a hung heart, "Leave this matter to Su Zhengyuan."

Zhou Xiao looked at the head in the study again, and was not so scared, and asked, "What should I do with this head?" Master Yao said that death is the most important thing, so I should find a coffin for a grand funeral. The prefect said that my cheap mother had a coffin in the backyard, but she was still from golden nanmu. She used this to make this head cheap.

The old lady had woken up at this moment and just walked to the study room. When she heard this, she even said no. This coffin was left for me a hundred years later. You can't move like this.

Zhou Xiao said when is it? You are still thinking about this. If you like it, I will buy you ten or eight. Then you will go there and want to live in a condom, and want to live in a single room. Then he ordered someone to open the coffin and put the head of the imperial envoy in. The head rolled in the coffin, and found another ball of cotton, stuffed the coffin, and buried it in the backyard of the government.

On the roof of the backyard, Xiao Jinyan, Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang took a closer look at the whole situation.

The three of them returned to Xiaoyao Inn and discussed in the woodshed room.

Vancouver's death touched Xiao Jinyan a huge impact. He didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the world. If it were the lives of ordinary people in the world, Xiao Jinyan wouldn't care, but Vancouver is different. He is a brother who once fought side by side in the Dengwenyuan. If the dean Li Chuntie is like a violent parent, Vancouver is more like a brother who takes care of him.

Xiao Jinyan decided to find out the truth, and even if he was re-entered from the dispute over the world, he would still refuse.

Li Qingcheng looked at Xiao Jinyan. Although he didn't say anything, he sensed the murderous intent on him. "You are so determined to kill." Xiao Jinyan said in a deep voice, "No matter who it is, as long as I find him, I will take his head."

Zhao Langjiang said, "I'll go and kill the dog official first."

Li Qingcheng said he was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the

"Killing him will not solve the problem." Xiao Jinyan remembered the conversation with Vancouver that day. Dengwenyuan and Yuwen Tianlu fought in the capital. This time, the emperor secretly sent him to investigate the rebellion. Although Vancouver did not make it clear, it must be related to Yuwen Tianlu. It is probably because the emperor was suspicious of Yuwen Tianlu. As soon as Vancouver arrived in Suzhou, Zhao Wuji from Yixiaotang rushed over. It should not be a coincidence.

"What do you think of? Let's listen to you." Zhao Langjiang asked.

Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang are both talented people. Although they don’t like each other, they always have an inexplicable trust in Xiao Jinyan. This kind of trust is accumulated in previous interactions, and it has nothing to do with whether Xiao Jinyan helped them seize the "Wu Jing", but more importantly, it is a trust between brothers.

Xiao Jinyan said: "The first thing you need to do now is to find the sword. The guard next to Lord Wen is from the Sixth Department of the Wenyuan. Logically speaking, he should not make such a mistake. Either he was hit by the other party's strategy or the other party has an overwhelming advantage in martial arts."

Li Qingcheng said I will do this. Although I am from Jinling, I have nothing to do with Suzhou City.

"It can be considered as an explanation for Dean Li."

Zhao Langjiang said I'll go.

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "You have something else to do, our boss is still in prison."

"If you nodded at that time, I would just snatch him out."

"He is a local from Suzhou, not a gangster, so what can he do when he comes out? As long as he cannot get rid of the suspicion, the government can find an excuse to arrest him at any time. You have never seen Zhou Xiao's virtue. If we force ourselves, maybe he is a crime of colluding with bandits and assassinating the imperial envoy. That family will be destroyed."

Xiao Jinyan is a nostalgic person. These days, they have lived in the Fan family. Although they have some friction, they have been with Fan Wuchang well. Apart from being a little stingy, Fan Wuchang is still relatively tolerant of them. He doesn't want to drag Fan Wuchang into it because of his own affairs.

Xiao Jinyan said again: "I'll go find Su Zhengyuan tomorrow and make a deal with him."

“What deal?”

"Ask him if he is interested in the Suzhou prefect." After saying that, Xiao Jinyan walked out and Li Qingcheng asked where you were going? Xiao Jinyan replied, "I am in a bad mood, of course I am going to drink."

Xiao Jinyan came to the Li family's restaurant, but he was not going to drink.

Li Yinyang’s Tavern was already closed. He was cleaning the shop with a broom at this moment. When he saw Xiao Jinyan coming, he knew that there was nothing good and said, “Why are you here again? Our Tavern is closed.”

Xiao Jinyan said lightly, "Vancouver is dead."

A look of shock flashed in Li Yinyang's eyes. Vancouver is the supervisor of the Dengwen Academy, and is also the second-ranked person other than the president of Li Chuntie. What does it mean when he died in Suzhou City? Of course, Li Yinyang knew that it would definitely attract the anger of the Dengwen Academy. Not to mention Suzhou, the entire world would be upset by the matter.

Xiao Jinyan said again: "Zhao Wuji is here."

Xiao Jinyan did not connect these two things, but these two sentences pointed the finger directly at Yixiaotang. If it was said that this matter had nothing to do with Yixiaotang, he would not believe it if he was beaten to death. Jiangnan was the territory of Yuwen Tianlu, and Dengwen Academy sent supervisors to him. How could Yixiaotang ignore it?

Li Yinyang looked at Xiao Jinyan and sensed that a cold true energy seemed to be rushing in his body, and asked, "Did you fight?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I took his move, but fortunately I was not lost."

Li Yinyang said, "Then you are too happy enough to be proud of the martial arts world."

Zhao Wuji is one of the eight evil kings. Although he is inferior to Yuwen Tianlu, he is also a master at the level of the earth. He has always been cruel to take action. Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng escaped from him, and there is also some luck in it.

Li Yinyang picked up the wine scoop, filled Xiao Jinyan with a pot of wine, and said, "I invited you this wine."

"I'm not here to ask you for wine, I'm here to ask you for something."

"Can I say I don't agree?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "I know that you have an appointment with the Western Chu Kuangdao, but with Wang Banxian here, this one will probably not be able to fight. I want to ask you to help me hold Zhao Wuji and leave the rest to me."

Li Yinyang sighed, "I really shouldn't live in seclusion here."

"I just drank so much wine for me and didn't pay for it. You must help me with this."

Li Yinyang said speechlessly, "I found that you look shameless and have the style of Wang Banxian."

Xiao Jinyan sighed slightly, "I am not as good as him in this regard, so I am restricted by him everywhere."

...

Su Zhengyuan had almost no rest all night. At this moment, he had a rare moment of leisure. He was leaning on the Taishi chair in the study, preparing to take a break.

Zhou Xiao sent orders overnight to block the news, and found the body of the imperial envoy within three days, and obtained the golden seal of the document within one day. Su Zhengyuan sent six detectives overnight to conduct a carpet-style investigation of Suzhou City, and bribed "Xiaosheng Jianghu" and "Gaogu Weekly" and other folk songs, spreading the news to the outside world according to the method discussed last night. Su Zhengyuan was careful and told two different versions to Xiaosheng Jianghu and Gossip Weekly, and spreading the third version through the yamen police. As the saying goes, the real one is empty, and the virtual one is real.

After a night of fermentation, the incident of the prefect taking heads at the banquet has long been spreading. Some say it is a revenge killing in the world, some say it is a gambling debt and was killed, some say it is a sex to the prefect's sister-in-law who was killed, and some even rumor that the miser of the head committed suicide.

The more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, the more exaggerated it becomes, and the more people believe it.

As for the golden seal of the document, Su Zhengyuan had no choice but to send someone to the east of the city to lock Li Blacksmith over, and asked him to forge the iron seal overnight and fool it. Anyway, no one had seen it before. I said this was the imperial envoy's personal belonging, who could say it was not?

At this moment, a subordinate came to report, "The chief constable, a young man who called himself Xiao Jinyan came to visit."

"Xiao Jinyan?" Su Zhengyuan became angry as soon as he heard this name. He was already unlucky enough today. Why did this guy come here for what? So he said, "Tell him, I'm not here." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jinyan had already arrived in the yard. "Captain Su is a guest after all, so it's not appropriate to stay in the door and not see him?"

Su Zhengyuan said with a cold face: "What are you here to do?"
