Dafeng Guardian 大奉打更人 Episode 18

It was a big deal that the important suspect, the Magistrate of Taikang County, died in prison. The officials in charge of the detention were terrified. Xu Qian'an did not care too much about it and asked the coroner to perform an autopsy immediately.

Xu Qian'an asked Miss Caiwei to read the fortune and found out that the magistrate of Taikang County died in his sleep. This was too weird. Xu Qian'an asked the coroner if he had seen this kind of killing method before. The other party's response was that it was a sorcerer. Li Yuchun knew this sorcerer. Many soldiers in Yunzhou were killed by these people. They had no scars on their bodies, and their deaths were peaceful and silent. There is such a method of harming people. Li Yuchun thinks it is too bizarre. Night watchmen are very skilled, so how can they deal with the enemy who comes and goes without a trace? Xu Qian'an believed that the key was to capture Zhou Chixiong immediately, so he led his men to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou was a place they were not familiar with, and there were many bandits. It was too reckless to go there rashly. Xu Qian'an asked everyone in the Tiandi Club group if there was anyone in Yunzhou. Tiandi Club member No. 1 immediately asked No. 2, hoping that She wanted to help investigate Zhou Chixiong, but Number Two directly refused. Her reason was that Number One was from the imperial court and she would not help people in the palace.

Xu Qi'an heard it clearly from the side. It seems that No. 2 is from Yunzhou. Since they are all members of Tiandi Club, they must be very capable. No. 2 had asked him to help Hengyuan, so Xu Qi'an took advantage of the previous agreement. Asking Number Two to help investigate Zhou Chixiong would clear the matter, so Number Two naturally agreed.

During the time when No. 2 had not found Zhou Chixiong, Xu Qian'an also went to see Wei Yuan. This time when he walked into Wei Gong's room, Xu Qian'an was not as casual as before. He stopped three meters away and bowed respectfully. He bowed and then reported on the investigation results during this period.

Wei Yuan knew that Xu Qiyan had reported the case directly to Emperor Jing last time. Now seeing Xu Qiyan being cautious in everything he did, it was obvious that he was afraid of the last sentence of beheading him. Wei Yuan didn't mind. After listening to his report, he carefully reminded him to check Zhou Chixiong's background. He was only a seventh-rank official. How could he escape so smoothly under his nose? And the night watchman still didn't know the details. It seemed that He did use a magical weapon to conceal his aura, but it was necessary to further investigate who gave him the weapon. Wei Yuan suggested that Xu Qian'an go and ask the eldest princess. After that, he gave Xu Qian'an a file on the background of the official Zhou Chixiong. It seemed that Wei Yuan had already asked someone to investigate Zhou Chixiong in advance, so this information was sent so timely. Xu Qian'an suddenly realized that Duke Wei had been helping him secretly. Although he had once been sentenced to be beheaded, Duke Wei still found a way for him to escape in secret.

Wei Yuan sent Xu Qi'an back to the palace. On the way, the two of them rode in the same carriage. Wei Yuan told Xu Qi'an that when he announced that he would be beheaded last time, he had already made preparations to secretly transfer Xu Qi'an and then use him as his secret agent under a pseudonym. , continued to investigate the case and asked Xu Qian'an if he minded, as long as he could save his life. Xu Qian'an didn't mind at all, but he also didn't want to live in silence, and he was confident about solving the case this time. Seeing Xu Qian'an getting complacent again, Wei Yuan couldn't help but advise him to keep calm at the critical moment. Although he was flexible on the outside but honest on the inside, there would be no fish in clear water. Besides, there were still some people in the night watch team in the court. The bad trend has been growing for a long time and cannot be completely eradicated in a short period of time. We need to proceed slowly.

When Xu Qi'an first entered the palace, he found that many palace servants would secretly pay attention to him and then snicker when they heard his name. Xu Qi'an also heard some rumors, such as that he was the eldest princess's "face-to-face" rhetoric. These surprised Xu Qi'an and also... He thought that Princess Lin'an had spread the rumor on purpose in order to recruit him into her service. At this time, Xu Qian'an still didn't know that the person he had been following was not the eldest princess. He was now worried that the eldest princess would hear the rumors and become suspicious of him, so he had to rush to the princess to explain everything clearly.

At that time, Huaiqing, Lin'an and many other princes were holding a poetry competition in the pavilion. Lin'an saw Xu Qiyan coming from afar and was so scared that he immediately asked the maid beside him to take Xu Qiyan away. Xu Qian'an was driven out and was very confused, but the princess saw Lin'an's uneasy expression and didn't know the secret, so she ordered someone to take Xu Qian'an back.

Xu Qian'an finally realized that he had been deceived by Princess Lin'an. He had just expressed his loyalty to Princess Lin'an in public, which caused a lot of laughter. Fortunately, the princess did not care about it, but asked him about the progress of his recent investigation into the case.
