It was not until the carriage went three or four miles away that Xiao Jinyan saw that Yuwen Shuang and others did not catch up with him that he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and asked Dongfang Nuannuan in the car, "Miss Dongfang, didn't scare you just now, did you?"

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "I just survived my life, thanks to Brother Xiao, you."

"Just lucky!"

Dongfang Nuannuan analyzed in the car, "But it is not. During the competition just now, I saw it clearly in the car. The last move of the Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers by Miss Yuwen was the most sharp killing move among the three illusion swords. It can even cross the border and kill people. When you jump up in the air, there will be more than 20 changes after the sword move, almost locking all your retreat paths. If that sword goes a little higher than hers, you can directly hit your throat. Unless your cultivation level is higher than hers and you forcefully shake her sword with internal force, you will have to be killed."

Although Xiao Jinyan knew that she was right in her analysis, she couldn't help but blush when she said it from her, and she defended herself, "Maybe she was not skilled."

Dongfang Nuannuan said again, "Two years ago, at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, the Xilong martial arts world and the martial arts world outside the pass were held. It was a martial arts competition that ended. The lone wolf bear in the north and the flying eagle outside the pass were ruthless, defeating the four masters of the martial arts world in the north, two dead and two disabled, extremely arrogant, saying that there was no martial arts in the Central Plains martial arts world. Yu Wenshuang heard it in his ears, using this set of three magic sword styles to fight against two, and cutting off the two of them with one hand and one kick, forcing the two to make a poisonous oath, and never enter the pass again in this life. This was the first time she appeared in the world. Afterwards, she even handled the affairs of the martial arts world for Yuwen Tianlu. If she did not use internal strength, it was said that even Zhao Wuji of Yixiaotang would avoid three points."

Xiao Jinyan said that after you analyzed this, I think we can run away today, and it’s really a smoke coming from the ancestral grave.

Dongfang Nuannuan smiled and said, "I don't think so. She is willing to let us go. Miss Yuwen is probably reluctant to kill you."

Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "Why?"

Dongfang Nuannuan thought for a moment and said with a slight silence, "Brother Xiao is a man after all, and he doesn't understand the girl's family's worries. Although Yu Wenshuang has a high position and a powerful person, she is still a woman after all. I know this better than you."

Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, is this evil woman interested in me? But when she took action just now, her sword moves were sharp and she didn't have any affection. She clearly wanted to kill me. It was probably because of Dongfang Nuannuan's illusion. Thinking of this, she even drove this idea out of her mind.

Both of them have their own thoughts and no longer speaks.

After traveling for more than an hour, Xiao Jinyan saw that Yu Wenshuang had kept his promise and did not lead people to chase him. He immediately felt relieved and drove to Yangzhou.

...

Suzhou City.

In the past two days, Li Qingcheng's investigation has made no progress. However, Xiao Hongyu insisted on going to Yangzhou to find Xiao Jinyan. Finally, Li Qingcheng had no choice but to lit her acupoint, let Qingcao look at her, and secretly ran to Yipinju and drank alone.

Although the Li family had a great influence in Jiangnan, its foundation was mainly in Jinling and Yangzhou City. The troops he sent were mainly in Yixiaotang. The people he sent were not very smooth in investigating the death of Vancouver. Whenever there were clues and continued to track down, he found nothing. He vaguely felt that there was a force in Suzhou City and was secretly obstructing him. The sword had already gone to the capital to deliver news. Even if he was quick, it would take half a moonlight to go back and forth. This annoyed Li Qingcheng.

Zhao Langjiang had already gained a foothold in the Six Gate Prison. He visited him once and sent some wine and meat. With him in the prison, Fan Wuchang lived a very comfortable life. People in the C cell called him Fan Ye when they met, and even ranked first when they were served. This treatment had never been in the Fan family, which really made him proud.

Before Xiao Jinyan left, the three of them had a secret conversation to deal with the upcoming major incident in Suzhou.

The situation in Suzhou City is as Xiao Jinyan expected that day. There are more and more people in the world. Fighting and making appointments are common in the city. Su Zhengyuan had no choice but to borrow 300 troops from the Suzhou garrison general to maintain public order. What's more, Li Qingcheng also found that there were more business travelers in the city with a Western Chu accent, saying that they were going to buy Su Jin. Li Qingcheng analyzed that there were many spies from the Western Chu Dynasty mixed with these people.

Li Qingcheng's seat is a elegant seat on the second floor. Sitting against the window, you can enjoy the scenery along the streets of Suzhou City. After all, Li Qingcheng is not Xiao Jinyan. After all, he drank less than half of Taihu. He felt that he couldn't drink much, and he was already a little drunk.

At this time, a sound of gongs came from the long street.

Li Qingcheng listened carefully, and the gongs sounded eleven. He was well-read about poetry, books and etiquette. Ordinary magistrates went on a patrol, and seven gongs were sounded, and the military and civilians were all avoided. The magistrates went on a patrol, and nine gongs were sounded, and all military and civilians were all avoided. If a general, governor or imperial envoy went on a patrol, then all gongs were sounded, which meant that all military and civilians were all avoided.

Looking in the voice, a convoy drove towards this side, looking at the formation, it seemed that important officials were patrolling Suzhou. On the long street, there were loess mattresses and water-filled streets. Two rows of officers followed, and two gongs beat the gongs to disperse the crowds surrounding them. Later, there were people holding quiet and avoiding signs. Someone had already rode horses to maintain order along the way. He could not dodge at all. He called over and cursed: "The imperial envoy went on patrol on behalf of the emperor, and the idle people were waiting to get out of here."

That face made passers-by resentful.

In the center is a large eight-carrying sedan chair with silver top, lid and curtains of sedan chairs are all black. According to the Ming Dynasty etiquette, officials above the third rank use four-carrying sedan chairs in Beijing, and eight-carrying sedan chairs outside the capital. The imperial envoy patrolled the world on behalf of the emperor and enjoyed eight-carrying sedan chairs. Wherever they went, it was like the emperor who came in person.

The governor of Suzhou Zhou Xiao had already led officials with ranks under his command, the magistrates and magistrates of various prefectures and counties, to greet them on the long street. Zhao Jinlian, the governor of Yingtian of Nanzhili, was not in the welcoming team, which was somewhat unpredictable.

Li Qingcheng sneered in his heart. The imperial envoy was plotted against by someone. Zhou Xiao not only concealed it but also specially created a fake imperial envoy. Some people even took advantage of this opportunity to blackmail the local gentry and village party and made a fortune. He had long been dissatisfied with this person. If he had not agreed to Xiao Jinyan not to do anything randomly, otherwise he would have fallen into the ground in just a moment.

In the Yipinju, everyone was surrounded by the window. Someone said, "This imperial envoy is really in a patrol. There are nearly 200 soldiers in front and behind." An old man said, "The last time there was an imperial envoy in Suzhou City, it was the eleventh year of Zhengtai."

The man in blue clothes said, "It's strange."

Everyone asked what was going on.

The man said, "I heard that the prefect Zhou held a banquet at home not long ago and had a personal case. It is said that the man died, the imperial envoy, was the imperial envoy. How could he appear here again today? If this is true, who was the prefect who died at the prefect Zhou's home that night? If that is the imperial envoy, who was the sedan chair?"

"You said it seemed like you met him in person. Could it be that you have seen him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two men wearing tall hats and soapy clothes came to the man and patted him on the shoulder. The man did not turn around and said, "One of these two must be fake." The man pulled the man over and slapped him.

Nowadays, wearing hats and blue clothes, they are either yamen runners or soldiers. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly flashed aside, fearing that they would be involved.

"Broad day, bright world, what are you talking nonsense?"

The man said, "Who are you?"

The man in the soap clothes said, "You slander the imperial officials. This crime is so serious."

The man said, "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I have the right to express my own opinions."

The man in the soap sneered, "I recognize your power, but I want to ask you to move a place and say whatever you want."

“Where?”

The man in the soap clothes said, "I just died last night in Suzhou Prefecture Prison. I felt a pain in my seat. Why don't you add a tamper and stay in for two days first?" After that, the man took off his waist card and revealed his identity. He was the plainclothes detective at the six doors in Suzhou City.

Zhou Xiao planned this trip to "instructor" for several days and put eyeliners in tea shops, restaurants and restaurants everywhere to prevent people from talking nonsense. This man was not lucky and was arrested before he could talk a lot.

The man was so scared that his legs were weak, "Sir, please spare me. I have eaten two cups of yellow soup. I'm talking nonsense. Please ask the two men, don't blame me." After that, he reached out and slapped his cheeks. In a moment, his cheeks were bulging high and it was already red and swollen.

The two yamen runners listened to his explanation, pulled out the shackles, put them on the man's head, and pulled the unlucky man away.

From beginning to end, Li Qingcheng looked coldly and did not speak out. He was not Xiao Jinyan, nor was he warm-hearted, nor Zhao Langjiang. When he encountered injustice, he was Li Qingcheng. In his opinion, this man ended up like this, it was purely his own fault.

After the officials finished their salutes and were about to move forward, a ragged old man suddenly broke through the soldiers and stopped him. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to the imperial envoy's sedan chair and shouted loudly, "Imperial envoy, the villain is wronged, please ask Master Qingtian to decide for the common people!"

The people along the street were originally coming to pay homage to the imperial envoy, but a sudden change occurred at the scene immediately caused a riot and discussions started. According to the Ming Dynasty law, officials went on patrol. If the people stopped the sedan chair and complained, the officials were not allowed to avoid it and had to accept the complaint.

Zhou Xiao was so angry that he was so angry that he looked at Su Zhengyuan viciously, and was very dissatisfied with the security measures he arranged. Su Zhengyuan was so scared that he lowered his head and dared not speak, but there was a hint of undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth. That day, the news that Xiao Jinyan told him was worth tens of thousands of yuan. In comparison, what is the point of making a little compromise with him?

This old man who complained, named Liu Minggui, had a son Liu Quancai, who was once a famous wealthy family in Suzhou City.

Two years ago, before the provincial examination, Zhou Xiao asked for bribes from Liu Gui, but was rejected. Zhou Xiao held a grudge and used his position to decide Liu Quancai as a bandit. He also used various means to coerce and induce. As the saying goes, the prefect who broke the door and the county magistrate who searched the house, within half a year, the property of the Liu family was exploited. After Liu Quancai was released, the qualification of the scholar was also banned. In anger, he jumped into a well and committed suicide, which caused a sensation in Suzhou City. Zhou Xiao used his power to suppress the matter.
