Since the capital government ordered the arrest of the Yan family and his son, the next matter would need to be brought back for trial, so the meeting was temporarily suspended, and the chief officials of each government office went back to deal with matters first.
When Zhang Yu walked out of the great assembly hall, he met a person at the door of the outer corridor. It was the middle-aged strong man who was sitting on top of the civil inquiry.
This man came up and bowed, and said with a look of shame on his face: "Jun Zhang, I really offended you a lot with the previous people's inquiry. I, I really didn't know that Jun Zhang was Tao Sheng..."
Zhang Yudao: "It's nothing. What you ask is what you should ask. Since I, a Tianxia man, have grasped the truth, I can say it loudly. There is nothing to be ashamed of. If you, your Majesty, participate in the discussion of scholars again in the future,
, you can still uphold this public spirit."
When the middle-aged man heard what he said, he was grateful and said: "Zhang Jun is generous." Then he solemnly said: "Zhang Jun, I am leaving Ruiguang today and going back to the north. I don't know if I can go back to the north in this lifetime.
Discuss, but I will definitely bear in mind what Mr. Zhang said!"
These candidates for the public consultation were all selected from the bottom, and in order to avoid connection, they were all recruited from different places and did not know each other at all.
After each scholar's meeting, a group of people will be changed for the next scholar's meeting, and sometimes the same people will be selected, but that situation is relatively rare, and the time between them must be longer at least.
Zhang Yu asked: "I wonder what you do for a living?"
The middle-aged man said: "I am from Dapu Town in the north. Later, my hometown suffered a natural disaster. I took my whole family and fled to Ruiguang City with an elder. Later, I worked hard on the dock of Dan Port. Now Xuanfu has killed
The God of Plague that caused natural disasters has recently rebuilt the garrison town there, so I am going to go back to my hometown to farm and live my old life again."
Zhang Yuyi clasped his hands and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
The middle-aged man made a Xia gift to him very seriously, showed a smile and said: "Zhang Jun, I have to say goodbye. If you pass by Dapu Town in the future, you must come to Lao Ao's house in the town to sit down.
"
After Zhang Yu watched him leave, he came to the accommodation arranged for him by the administration. Although his home was not far from here, during the scholar conference, all the Xia scholars were here, so it was not convenient for him.
A person walks alone.
This dormitory is located on the upper floor of the administration office. Everything is available indoors, and there are servants outside the corridor waiting to greet you at any time. He came to the window and looked outside. Looking from this angle, Ruiguang City was once again
Another scene.
After standing for a while, he came to the study room, meditated on the couch and began to breathe.
It was almost three summer hours before he came out of sedation. It was almost nightfall, and the arrest of the Yan family and his son by the capital had already come to fruition, and he also received a relatively detailed report.
Book.
As mentioned above, Yan Zhu tried to resist during the arrest and was shot dead on the spot, while Yan Xulun gave up his resistance and has now been captured and is being interrogated.
Now Yan's Manor has been surrounded by more than a thousand troops and horses. No one is allowed to enter or exit, and they are searching everywhere for possible evidence.
The newspaper is also accompanied by more than a dozen pictures, which are specially hand-drawn to describe the entire Yan Manor. The paintings are very careful, and several particularly critical places are taken into account in detail. There are also half-sections and markings on the underground floor of the manor.
.
As mentioned above, there was a very suspicious cellar under the manor. When the people from the Protectorate found it, they found that it was completely empty, and the things that originally existed seemed to have been moved away long ago.
He thought for a while, Yan Xulun would not know that the first advice at the scholar's meeting was directed at him, so this should have been arranged before this.
Another thing worth noting is that Yan Zhu's body shows signs of infusion of external divine power, which indicates that he has colluded with the alien gods or people related to the alien gods, which is another crime.
He threw the newspaper on the desk and looked out the window at the night view of Ruiguang City.
The Yan family is finished.
But this is not the end.
As long as the Divine Lieutenant Army still exists, it is impossible for the beacon fire to be ignited smoothly. Only by dismembering or completely destroying it can this wish be achieved.
In the Xuanfu Affairs Hall, Xiang Chun also received the report. When the news came that he requested Xuanfu's cooperation from the Governor's Office, he did not know in advance that Zhang Yuhui would propose a retrial of the Wenxiu Academy case at the scholar's meeting.
While secretly exclaiming that it was a pity, he also felt a burst of joy.
What was a pity for him was that if the Shenwei Army really resisted for Yan Xulun, then by taking this opportunity, Xuanfu and Dufu would join forces to suppress the Shenwei Army. Even if the Dufu still needed to retain its existence, the future would be
We can no longer put pressure on Xuanfu like before.
Fortunately, Xuanfu is not ready for a full-scale conflict with the Shenwei Army yet. He doesn't want to take action yet. If he had known that Zhang Yu's remonstrance would be directed at the deputy captain of the Shenwei Army, then
He would also advise Zhang Yu to give up this idea as much as possible.
But the current result seems to be more acceptable to him.
But that incident at the Liberal Arts Academy...
He frowned. Maybe many people couldn't understand the purpose of the Shenwei Army, but as the person in charge of Xuanfu, he actually knew exactly what these people wanted to find.
But as far as he knew, even if the part placed in the Wenxiu Academy was found, the Shenwei Army was still missing the most critical part, and there was no way to really figure it out.
However, if that thing is really found by the Shenwei Army...
There was a solemn look on his face, and then he stroked his beard and thought deeply.
It seems that we need to think of a way.
Early the next morning, Qiu Xueling was awakened from his drowsiness.
"Qiu Xueling, please open your eyes."
The cloth in front of Qiu Xueling's eyes was removed. He blinked, adjusted to the light, and looked around. He found that he was actually in a forest, with thick fallen leaves and soft, moist soil under him.
Before the Chinese New Year, he was transferred once, and again after the New Year. However, he knew that he could not escape the control of this group of people. Even if he went out, he would be arrested again by the Sikou Yamen Office, so he never
Ask more.
But this time, things seem to be a little different.
He looked at the people standing on both sides in front of him. One of them was three feet above the ground, floating in mid-air, with a proud look on his face. The other was the servant named Yan whom he had often seen before.
He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Did something happen to Deputy Lieutenant Commander Yan?"
The man floating opposite showed a look of surprise, and then said with interest: "Qiu Xueling, how do you know this? Can you tell me?"
Qiu Xueling moved his sore hands and feet for a while, and then said: "Yan Xulun is a person with a strong desire to control, and he is also a very cautious person. When he came into contact with me before, there were only two servants in rotation. Since then, he has never been in front of me.
The fourth person has not appeared, and now I have been moved outside, and the strange face Zunji appears again, which is very inconsistent with his style."
He actually said this to deliberately express himself and appear more valuable, because he knew that if his judgment was correct, his life would now be in the hands of the person in front of him or the person behind him.
.
"We are really yours, Qiu Xueling," Piao Xuan looked at him and said, "It seems that we are right to try our best to rescue you, because you are a smart person."
The servant surnamed Yan said: "Captain Lin, even with Qiu Xueling, he can only know the first one-third of the contents of the secret volume, and the secret volume has been kept by Yan Xulun. I don't know where it is.
Now that Yan Xulun has been caught again, we have to try to contact him again, otherwise the missing part will never be recovered."
Captain Lin made a silent reply and said: "This is indeed a trouble."
Qiu Xueling looked at them at this time and said: "If you are asking about the secret volume that Yan Xulun showed me, then there is no need to ask Yan Xulun anymore, I have already written it all down."
"Qiu Xueling? You mean you have memorized everything." Captain Lin couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
Qiu Xueling's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Yes."
But the servant surnamed Yan shouted: "Impossible! I have been staring at you. Every time you look at the front part of the secret volume, you have never looked at the back. How can you see it?"
Qiu Xueling glanced at him and said, "You may not be able to see it if you don't look through it."
Captain Lin became interested and said, "What do you mean, Qiu Xueling, can you explain it?"
At this moment, Qiu Xueling felt that his blood had become smoother, so he stood up from where he was. He took off the leaves on his head, clapped his hands calmly, and said, "Indeed, Yan Xulun only shows me the front part of the scroll every time.
, but he didn’t know that this thing is an ancient object, and there are two ways to view it. One of them, there is no need to open it at all, just shine it with light, and the words inside can be revealed."
The servant surnamed Yan retorted: "But I remember that I always stared at your movements. Why didn't I see anything you took out?"
Qiu Xueling said calmly: "But you forgot to look above."
"above?"
Qiu Xueling nodded and said: "Yes, above! Do you remember that every time I ask you for an extra oil lamp? When I look at the secret scroll, I try to raise my hand every time. In fact, I use the light to reflect the scene.
On the picture scroll, words will appear on the top of the cellar every time. Unfortunately, you only focus on watching the movements in my hands, but no one ever pays attention to the top."
The servant surnamed Yan looked at him in surprise. He recalled Qiu Xueling's previous actions. It seemed that such a thing was really happening. He couldn't believe it and said, "This, is this true?"
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Captain Lin couldn't help but applaud. He smiled at Qiu Xueling and said, "Qiu Xueling, if you really remember all the contents of the secret volume, then I can guarantee that you can get everything you want."
The servant surnamed Yan subconsciously asked: "What about Yan Xulun?"
Captain Lin said indifferently: "Yan Xulun? Just let him die."
