With the light coming from the door to the ground, Xu Qi'an finally saw the appearance of the person coming.

At first glance, this is a sassy woman wearing a silver armor uniform, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, and her hair tied high into a ponytail.

If you look carefully, you will find that the girl has an exquisite figure, a skin as smooth as gelatin, and a natural beauty, which can be called the most beautiful woman in the world.

It's just that the girl's confident and high-spirited temperament, as if she has everything under control, always makes people subconsciously ignore this girl's beauty.

"Bold witch? How dare you kill my servant? Do you know who I am?" Zhou Li said with serious expression.

Although he had some tricks up his sleeve, in the final analysis he was just a playboy with no power. When his old servant was killed, he immediately panicked.

"Noisy!" The girl snapped her fingers. Zhou Li seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. He stood there instantly, unable to move.

He could only look at the girl in front of him in panic, showing fear.

"It's really good for a small policeman to be able to do this. It's not in vain that I've been secretly observing you for so long." The girl didn't care about Zhou Li's attitude, but looked at Xu Qi'an with interest.

When Xu Qi'an heard this, he suddenly felt something bad. When he thought that he had been being observed secretly these days, his heart skipped a beat.

Then, Xu Qi'an tentatively said: "Thank you very much, girl, for saving me. I don't know what your name is, but Xu Qi'an will definitely repay you for saving your life!"

Thinking about it, one knows that anyone who can appear in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at this time must be either rich or noble.

What's more, this woman can actually kill an eighth-level martial artist with one move, and her martial arts skills are unfathomable.

Judging by her age, this mysterious girl is probably a little younger than him. Could it be that she is a second-generation top official who is still above Zhou Li?

"Guardian Yinluo Lu Fengyao." Lu Fengyao announced her family name generously, and then said: "Do you know why he wanted to put you to death?"

As soon as Xu Qi'an heard this, he immediately started thinking. After thinking about it, he quickly discovered something unusual.

For example, the residence of Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs, is obviously in the inner city, while the old Xu family lives in the outer city. The two places are far apart. Why did the man named Zhou just wander around to the Xu Mansion?

"It seems that you have thought of something. You might as well let me tell you why."

Lu Fengyao continued: "Do you still remember the tax money case you participated in the investigation earlier? Do you know who subcontracted the tax money escorted by your second uncle?"

Xu Qian shook his head and said, "I'm just a small yamen fast guy."

Lu Fengyao raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Qian, and then said: "The ones who exchanged the tax money are Lu Weizhi, the Qianhu of the Imperial Sword Guard, and Zheng Xin, the head of the household department."

"So?" Xu Qian didn't quite understand what Lu Fengyao wanted to express.

"Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs, is the backer behind these two people." Lu Fengyao directly revealed the secret.

"What the hell!" Xu Qian couldn't help but cursed.

He finally figured out the whole story. It was no accident that he and Zhou Li met. Zhou Li was just acting when he teased Xu Lingyue. The real purpose was to deliberately find trouble and use this excuse to torture him to death in order to avenge himself for ruining his father's good deeds.

Xu Qian's back felt as if a cold snake was crawling across his back, and a chill arose in his heart.

Zhou Li, a dandy, is obviously very smart. He made good use of the dandy's methods, taking the initiative to stir up trouble, exploiting relationships, and subduing others... in an attempt to take me away.

And, the side effects of doing so are minimal. Although the capital inspection is approaching, is it possible that killing an insignificant subordinate to death can still shake up the Minister of Household Affairs, a high-ranking official of the imperial court?

Lu Fengyao looked at the changing expressions on Xu Qian's face and knew that he must have figured it all out.

Sure enough, talking to smart people is very simple.

"So, from the day you solved the tax and bank case, you have already offended Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs." Lu Fengyao hit the nail on the head: "Although you took precautions and took the path of Si Tianjian and Yunlu Academy, but the other party I also bribed Mr. Huang from the Criminal Department to kill you first and then show you off, and there is nothing you can do about it."

"So, why are you telling me this?" Xu Qian said with a bitter smile.

"It's not easy to find a talent like you among the lowest level. I plan to recruit you into the watchdog organization. What do you think?" Lu Fengyao said bluntly.

After hearing this, Xu Qian could only let out a bitter smile. After offending Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs, a third-rank official in the imperial court, it seemed that there was no other way but to find a stronger backer.

But he still wanted to decline. The reputation of the watchman in Dafeng was not very good.

The leader of the watchman organization, Wei Yuan, the eunuch, is an even more thoughtful person. He does not want to step out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.

"I..." Xu Qian was about to refuse.

But he saw a jailer leading a green-robed official in.

When the visitor saw the scene of the thin old man being nailed to death and Zhou Li being imprisoned, the green-robed official suddenly changed his expression and said, "Come here! Someone broke into the prison of the Criminal Department without permission!"

Lu Fengyao stood up calmly and said, "It seems that the reinforcements you invited have arrived. It's time for me to leave."

Lu Fengyao made a move with one hand, and the bloody long knife fell into her palm with a "swish" sound.

The watchman Yin Luo chuckled lightly and said: "Think about it carefully. A man cannot lose his power for a day. You must have understood this deeply."

After saying that, Lu Fengyao was about to leave directly. The green-robed official looked at the bloody long knife hanging on Lu Fengyao's waist, his face suddenly changed, and his voice was inexplicably low: "Are you..."

"The watchman Yinluo Lu Fengyao." Lu Fengyao announced her family name again and said at the same time: "Let Sun Min investigate carefully. If I hadn't arrived in time, Xu Qian would have been beaten into a trap, but the dignified prison of the Criminal Department had been infiltrated into a sieve by outsiders. If it weren't for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, I would have to follow his example."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, named Sun Min, was the big boss of the imperial court who really held the real power. However, Lu Fengyao called him by his first name without giving him any face.

The green-robed official took a deep breath and calmed down. He had vaguely guessed the identity of this woman before. With her prominent life experience, it was not surprising that she said such a thing.

"Yes! I will definitely report the truth to Sun Shangshu." said the Qingpao official.

After that, Lu Fengyao left the Penal Department prison directly and openly.

At this time, the restraint on Zhou Li was loosened, and he could only be heard trembling: "I am the son of Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Household Affairs. That man is lawless. He killed my old servant and didn't catch her!"

While the green-robed official was untying Xu Qian, he looked at Zhou Li with eyes full of pity.

Zhou Li collapsed on the ground, still shouting. After being loosened, Xu Qi'an punched Zhou Li in the lower abdomen, immediately vomiting out all the bile in Zhou Li.

"You... you are a pariah!" Zhou Li was so hurt that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Xu Qian, however, felt very comfortable and said: "My lord, this man wants to lynch me indiscriminately in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments. I'll beat him up. Isn't that too much?"

The green-robed official twitched his lips and said, "It's not too much...but, Xu Qian, Song Qing, a disciple of Sitian Supervisor, and Zhang Shen and Li Mubai, two great scholars from Yunlu Academy, jointly guarantee you, you can go out."

Xu Qian's expression relaxed. He had a feeling in his heart that that kind of leisurely and comfortable life might be gone forever! (End of chapter)
