Two hundred and tenth chapter return journey(1/2)

Feeling comfortable...Xu Qi'an went upstairs refreshed, leaving his two colleagues some time to relax.

"I should be under the car, not in the car, to see how sweet you are... Kukuku, hahaha!" He laughed wildly as he went upstairs.

"Xu Ningyan, you will suffer a thousand blows!"

Behind them came the shameful and angry roars of Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

In the next few days, Xu Qi'an experienced the sequelae of the capsized friendship boat. Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao treated him coldly and indifferently, treating him as a transparent person.

Xu Qian took the initiative to talk to them, but they pretended not to hear and went about their own business.

Is it because he has lost his temper and feels ashamed to talk to me, or is he angry with me? It must be the former... Xu Qian thinks so.

So during lunch, Xu Qian took the initiative to chat: "I have forgotten what happened in the teahouse, and I won't laugh at you anymore."

"What?" Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were furious.

Miss Susu is playing with our feelings, you are playing with our friendship, who is the victim?

"You two couldn't control yourself and fell into that charming illusion. Do you blame me?" Xu Qian looked at them angrily:

"Why did I hide it from you? You have the nerve to ask, if I exposed it on the spot, you two wouldn't have jumped off the building. Look, if it hadn't been for that Li Miaozhen coming over, would this matter have been covered up well?

"None of you are embarrassed. Guangxiao didn't know that Tingfeng hit the pillar with his little brother for a quarter of an hour. Tingfeng, you didn't know that Guangxiao had such good waist strength when he was holding the table."

"Stop, stop talking..." Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao covered their faces.

In fact, if exposed on the spot, Lao Song and Lao Zhu would be embarrassed for a while at most, but they would never be like now, so embarrassed that they would like to roll on the floor and feel shameless.

Whenever they think of the words they said in front of Xu Ningyan, the feelings they expressed, why they would not marry anyone but her, and what regrets they have in life... Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao wish they could commit suicide and leave this dark world.

Song Tingfeng turned his head and sneered: "I don't have a friend like you. From that day on, we broke off all ties."

Zhu Guangxiao said solemnly: "Me too."

"Don't make trouble, the friendship between the three of us can't be shaken by a mere female ghost." Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, Xu Qian said with a cold face and a look of pain on his face:

"In the worst case, I'll go back to the capital and ask you to go to the Jiaofang Division."

Song Tingfeng looked disdainful: "Just the Jiaofang Secretary bribed me and Guangxiao?"

Xu Qian said solemnly: "Twice."

Song Tingfeng snorted: "Go away, don't talk to me."

Xu Qian'an said sadly: "Three times."

Song Tingfeng: "Heh."

Xu Qian gritted his teeth and said: "Five times!"

Song Tingfeng grabbed his sleeve tightly: "Then you make a written statement."

After the boat of friendship capsized for three days, it finally got on the right track. Brothers, how can we really fall out over a small conflict? The invitation to the teacher is just a step down for both parties. The main reason is that the friendship is sincere enough...

This was said by Song Tingfeng.

Xu Qi'an agreed very much and said, "Then let's forget about the Jiaofang Division."

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao said in unison: "Cut off the robe and end the righteousness!"

As he spoke, he raised the note in his hand.

"Moreover..." Zhu Guangxiao glanced at him and said, "We can't leak out the story about Su Su...that female ghost. No one can tell."

"You can't make fun of us about this in the future." Song Tingfeng added.

"No problem, I will never, never Kuku..." Xu Qian quickly turned away and covered his face. After a few seconds, he turned back: "I will never make fun of you."

"What were you laughing at just now?"

"I didn't laugh."

"You smiled."

"I really didn't laugh. I have been strictly trained not to laugh no matter how funny it is."

.....

Outside Baidi City, the military camp.

Li Miaozhen was sitting in the military tent, listening to Su Su's report: "Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao spent most of their time at the inn. Occasionally, when they got tired of the inn's food, they would go out to look for restaurants.

"They were two people together. Xu Qian was not involved. He acted alone and went to hook up every time he went out.

"Almost every day I stayed in Goulan for an hour and then returned to the inn. During this period, I didn't go to any yamen, nor did I check Zhou Min's case.

"Well, there are traces of tampering with Zhou Min's grave. According to the time, it should be on the day when the governor's team arrived at Baidi City..."

In the past few days, Su Su acted as a secret sentry, watching every move at the inn. As soon as Xu Qi'an's trio came out, she would follow them quietly.

Wu Fu cannot sense Yin Qi, let alone ghosts. As long as he keeps a good distance, Su Su will not be discovered.

"Is there anything else unusual?" Li Miaozhen asked.

Abnormal? Is it abnormal for Xu Qian to collect money every day... Su Su muttered in her heart, but she knew that Li Miaozhen was asking about Zhou Min-related events, so she shook her head:

"No, they seem to be waiting for the governor to come back before investigating Zhou Min's case."

Wei Yuan's impeachment of Yang Chuannan, the commander of the Yunzhou capital, had already been reported by the Qi party in a letter. Everyone in the Yunzhou official circles knew why the governor's team came.

Li Miaozhen uncorked a porcelain bottle and summoned a ghost living in the bottle. He was a tall, thin, middle-aged scholar.

"I said, you write!"

"Yes, Master."

Based on the information Li Miaozhen obtained through the Tiandihui, she believed that she had a fairly intuitive understanding of Xu Qian, who was very capable in investigating cases and had rich experience.

If he really had any clues or accurate directions, he would never have wasted so many days at the inn. After all, the longer the case progressed, the fewer clues he would have.

This means that Xu Qian is also helpless.

Not long after, a letter was written, and Li Miaozhen handed the letter to Su Su: "Send the letter to Yang Chuannan."

"Okay!" Su Su hugged the letter and twisted her slim waist to leave the military tent.

She paused in front of the thick curtain, turned her head, frowned, with a pitiful expression: (?????)

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Miaozhen said angrily.

"Master, won't you avenge me? That brat insulted me." Su Su complained unwillingly.

"I'll just lock you up for one day." Li Miaozhen waved his hand and rejected the female ghost's subordinate's request.

Women are all petty, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more petty she is. Li Miaozhen has never been able to understand this.

She prefers a big bowl of wine, a big mouthful of meat, a military life of leading troops to suppress bandits, and enjoying grudges. To put it bluntly, she has... a straight male mentality.

"Humph." Su Su left angrily.

.....

It is the largest restaurant in Qingping County around Baidi City.

The restaurant was booked today. As the last stop of this tour, a very sumptuous lunch was prepared.

After lunch, Governor Zhang, Yang Chuannan, and Song Changfu, headed by three senior officials, accompanied by more than ten senior Yunzhou officials, exchanged their thoughts after the inspection in the private room of the restaurant.

Governor Zhang took the opportunity to get angry and denounced all the officials as useless people who allowed banditry to multiply and develop, which resulted in the increase of refugees in Yunzhou and the depression of people's livelihood.

"The governor's words really put me to shame." The Chief Envoy of Song Dynasty said in shame.

"According to the secret report, the banditry in Yunzhou is caused by someone secretly supporting and transporting military supplies." Governor Zhang meant:

"Some people are depriving themselves of the emperor's salary, but they are stealing the country."

The officials looked cryptically at the silent capital commander Yang Chuannan. No one spoke for him. Instead, they all expressed their support for Governor Zhang's strict investigation.

Yang Chuannan didn't express his position, and sat motionless, letting a group of people talk angrily.

The entire Yunzhou officialdom was isolated and the atmosphere of suppressing Yang Chuannan was cultivated during the inspection.

At this time, a general knocked on the door and came in. He was Yang Chuannan's confidant. He glanced at the officials coldly, handed a secret letter to Yang Chuannan, turned around and left.

Yang Chuannan opened the envelope and read it, a smile bloomed on his serious and silent face, he put the envelope away and said with a smile:

"I also support the governor. We must strictly investigate and not tolerate it. The governor has many capable people under his command, and I believe that the truth will be revealed soon."

Governor Zhang frowned and his eyes fell on the superstition in Yang Chuannan's hand. The other officials did the same and speculated about what was written in the letter. Yang Chuanan suddenly felt confident.

On the way back to Baidi City, Governor Zhang lifted the curtain and coughed hard.

Jiang Lvzhong, who was in the front, looked back and tacitly slowed down his horse to keep pace with the carriage.

"I suddenly had a bad feeling..." Governor Zhang looked at Jin Luo, who had made little contribution to the investigation.

"Is it because Yang Chuannan suddenly became arrogant?" Jiang Luzhong nodded suddenly.

Governor Zhang said "hmm". This inspection was a foreshadowing and test by him. The purpose was to separate the Yunzhou officialdom and prepare for him to arrest Yang Chuannan.

If the Yunzhou officialdom is of one mind, then he must make a plan carefully. If not, he will find a way to isolate Yang Chuannan and get the support of the Yunzhou officialdom.

Governor Zhang was extremely confident about this, because at the dinner party when he first arrived in Yunzhou, the Song Dynasty Chief Envoy had already revealed certain information in a subtle way.
