Chapter 38: The city gate is set up

Author: Xiyumu

Luoyang, at the tower at the west gate of the city.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the person standing outside could no longer recognize his face. Ye Jingyan's palm sweat was getting more and more, and he was quite nervous at this moment. Although his face remained strong

He pretended to be calm, but his occasionally trembling legs still betrayed him.

If it were normal times, Ye Jingyan would definitely not be so nervous. After all, this place was as familiar as his family. But now there was a smiling boy standing in front of him, and a cold Qingguang sword was still on his neck.

Ye Jingyan couldn't help but be nervous.

It turned out that after Ling Changfeng and Qin County Magistrate and his group arrived at the west gate of the city, Ling Changfeng met Ye Jingyan who was patrolling here with the special envoy token. According to the commander Ye, he actually came to patrol before the city gate was closed as usual.

, I was afraid that the murderer would sneak away while the city gate guards were handing over.

Seeing this, Ling Changfeng told him not to leave the west gate building of the city for the time being and to leave after he finished doing it. However, when Ye Jingyan saw Ling Changfeng coming alone, he was not convinced and said that he was

This patrol has been in some time and cannot obey Ling Changfeng's instructions. Now I need to go to the south gate to patrol.

After Ling Changfeng was persuaded by kind words, Ye Jingyan saw that he had no choice but to ignore his excuses, he slowly stretched out his palm, slowly clenched his fists, looked at the weak and said, "Sir, in this city, sir."

Among the gate guards, we should look at the fist and talk, rather than a token that is not true or false."

After he finished speaking, he was about to rush to Ling Changfeng. Unexpectedly, Ye Jingyan had not yet made any moves, and a cold-lit Qingguang sword floated lightly on his neck.

It was not someone else who used the Qing Guangsai, but Xiaolan, who had been arranged by Ling Changfeng to wait for the city gate to move!

"I said to Wei Du Ye, when I came, I said I would have a good conversation, but you didn't listen. I also said whose fist is bigger and who listens to whom. Now, do you think it's your fist is bigger or Xiaolan's sword is sharp?

"Ling Changfeng chuckled and said slowly at Ye Jingyan.

Ye Jingyan felt that this person's handsome face was becoming more and more abominable. Beads of sweat were coming out, but he repeatedly accused him of guilt. He begged for mercy in a low voice and said, "Mr. Ling, please spare me! The official did not know that Lord Ling was coming, and he was missing the opportunity to welcome him.

, please forgive me! Lord Ling! Lord Ling has something to say, can you please ask Miss Xiaolan to raise her hands and put away the sharp sword? The official's neck is almost frozen."

Seeing that his young master signaled with his eyes, Xiaolan slowly put away the Qingguang Sword and stood behind Ling Changfeng without saying a word. Xiaoyu, who was originally lying on Ling Changfeng's shoulder, jumped into her arms.

Ye Jingyan watched the Qingguang Sword hanging on his neck slowly leaving, and suddenly relaxed and sat down on the Taishi chair next to him, his pale expression slightly recovered.

"Okay, now we can have a good talk, right? Lord Ye?" Ling Changfeng looked at Ye Jingyan who was slightly calming in front of him with a smile and asked softly.

Ye Jingyan nodded and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ling, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything."

"Why are you patrolling here? As far as I know, you will only patrol this routine every morning, right? Why are you still patrolling here today?" Ling Changfeng asked softly about Ye Jingyan's abnormal behavior.

Then, then

Ye Jingyan wiped the sweat beads on his face and replied in a low voice: "Originally, I was going to come here before noon as usual, but after I set off, I received a secret letter from Lord Xu, which said that Lord Xu already knew the murderer.

The whereabouts of the man is falling. When it rains in the afternoon, I will come here to wait for the murderer, and I will come here to greet him in advance."

Ling Changfeng said meaningfully: "Hmph, Lord Xu is really planning ahead. He actually predicted that the murderer would pass by here. Since I happened to pass by here, then wait here."

Ye Jingyan felt a little sad. He just said the first half of Xu's words. After all, Xu's original words were: "Emperor Ye, go to the west gate tower of the city in the afternoon to guard the murderer. The murderer must have passed by there. If there is any

Others are taking the lead and must inform me as soon as possible to avoid leaking the plan! As long as I help me catch the suspect, you will be promoted to the position just around the corner."

Now it is obvious that Ling Changfeng is in the forefront. Ye Jingyan's eyes are rolling around, and he can't find the opportunity to send a signal for a while. He has to secretly say: Ling Changfeng has ruined his good deeds, let alone promotion now

, it’s a blessing not to lose your official position.

"Have you agreed with you how to arrest the suspect?" Ling Changfeng asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Xu said that he received a secret report and a carriage came when the city gate guards handed over. The suspect was in the carriage. I just need to catch it myself. Mr. Xu himself would also pass by the city gate and do it later.

Discussion." Ye Jingyan dared not hide it and said immediately.

When Ling Changfeng heard this, he thought for a while and learned the secret, and said, "You should arrest the suspect later."

Ye Jingyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and could not tell the truth about the false for a moment. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ling is serious?" Seeing Ling Changfeng nodding and confirming, Ye Jingyan truly thanked him.

"Okay, Xiaolan, please look at this Ye Duwei here for the time being. I'll see how the Qin County Magistrate arranged it." Ling Changfeng said that, and walked out of the city tower with a swagger.

The guards at the city gate naturally didn't know what was happening in the city gate tower. They just said that the envoy and the chief lieutenant had known each other for a long time, and the two had a great time talking. Seeing that the envoy Ling came out, the guards saluted one after another.

After waved his hand, Ling Changfeng said in a deep voice: "Now there are criminals who want to pass by the west gate of the city. I still need more help from brothers later. This is the magistrate of Qin County, Nanhe County, and the main person in charge of the arrest of the criminals.

Everyone must obey his command! As long as the suspect is caught, Lord Qin will reward each with ten taels of silver!"

The thunder rolled in the sky, and the guards did not hear what Ling Changfeng was saying clearly. They just heard the "catch the suspect and reward ten taels of silver" behind them, so they all looked bright and they were ready to rub their hands. You should know that these ten taels of silver

But my six-year salary is for guarding the gate!

"Yes! Listen to Lord Ling and Lord Qin's orders!" The guards responded in a deep voice, only to find that the city gate guard work today has become extremely interesting.

When the Qin County Magistrate saw the large number of guards, he silently calculated the silver he paid, and his heart was bleeding. However, compared with the future, it was nothing at this moment. He quickly cheered up and arranged the work of the city gate.

The guards were still on standby, while the police officers he had taken were hiding under the walls. Now everything is right, just waiting for the murderer. After stroking his sparse beard, the magistrate of Qin thought of the scene of his face and expression.

He also smiled lightly, and the haze of the heavy bleeding just now also dissipated slightly.

After confirming again that there was nothing missing, the Qin County Magistrate walked towards Ling Changfeng and flattered Lord Ling: Nonsense such as the wise and clever plan to determine the city gate. Then he asked: "My Lord Ling, when will this murderer be

Just arrived?"

Ling Changfeng looked at the heavy rain outside the eaves and replied lightly: "You are doing well. As for when this murderer will arrive, we will wait, probably soon. The suspect will be out of the way by the guards of the city gate.
