Supervise!
In the dim dungeon, Qin Tianjian, who had regained his true appearance, walked out of the starlight, looked down at General Zhonglang on the ground with a smile, and said these words.
The entire interrogation room suddenly fell into an atmosphere of silence.
Even Sun Xianzu, who was gasping for air and whose soul was severely damaged, regained consciousness for a moment, and his eyes showed a mixture of confusion, confusion, incomprehension and nervousness.
"Jian...Jian Zheng..." The first person to react was not anyone else, but Huang He.
As a former doctor of Lu Ke, Huang He had the honor to meet Jian Zheng when he was a student, so he was not unfamiliar with this appearance.
Including Mu Yaoyao, even though he entered prison later, he has also been seen before.
At this time, the minds of the two young star officers buzzed, as if they were stunned by a sledgehammer, and they had only one thought:
Why does Jian Zheng appear here? !
They were unprepared for this. After all, although Ji Pingan had made speculations before, he did not disclose this information to them. This would be the biggest impact.
Supervisor... Saint Yu Yu was also startled, and suddenly felt a head shorter.
Although his master's status and strength are stronger, in terms of seniority, the old man in front of him is not even half inferior.
From any angle, he is a famous figure in the world of Jiuzhou cultivation, a truly powerful monk.
"Luan Yu of the Beast Control Sect, pays homage to Qin Tianjian Zheng." Elder Luan Yu's chest rose and fell, suppressing his shock, and bowed his hands in salute.
The old prisoner with white beard and white hair was nodding gently - he still had to give him this face.
"Lord Jianzheng, when did you come to Yuhang? Why didn't you..."
At this time, the prefect came to his senses and was greatly surprised.
Although in terms of rank, Qin Tian Jianzheng is no better than a prefect of Yizhou, but considering the factors of cultivation, this "sir" is sincere and sincere, and even calling him "old god" is not an exaggeration.
Ye Hongling was more curious than in awe, with bright eyes. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to meet this great disciple of the Great Zhou Imperial Master in the next life.
Immediately, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he realized that the old Si Li in Yin Yang Academy was actually Jian Zheng in disguise?
Jian Zheng smiled gently, waved his hand and said:
"I am traveling in plainclothes across Kyushu. I don't want to disturb the place."
He calls himself "Ben Guan", which means that he appears as an official and intervenes in the matter.
"I was meditating just now, but suddenly on a whim, I made some calculations and learned that my Qin Tianjian disciple was arrested and imprisoned. Oh, he actually alerted the generals of the Ministry of War to interrogate him personally, and even claimed that he wanted to kill him... but I You can’t just ignore things.”
Jian Zheng's tone was calm, but the group of military masters present were all covered in cold sweat.
It was only then that everyone present recovered from the shock. They immediately raised their heads in shock and looked at the young divination master with an innocent face and a helpless expression in the interrogation room.
"A disciple of Qin Tian Jian? How could Mr. Li be..."
Li Xiangjun stammered. Halfway through his words, he suddenly became alert and guessed something.
Ji Ping'an sighed softly, gently stretched the hands tied with leather bands to untie them, reached out and brushed his face, revealing his true face, glanced at the old prisoner, and said helplessly:
"My surname is not Li, um... a pseudonym when traveling. I just pretend to be a divination master for the convenience of going out to practice. At the same time, I came to Lanzhou from the capital of God this time, and I am also paying attention to the turmoil in various places after the recovery of heaven and earth... And I These 'abnormal behaviors' may indeed seem a bit suspicious in the eyes of the military spies, so General Sun invited me here to cooperate with the investigation."
Hearing this, Sun Xianzu, who was lying on the ground, widened his eyes in shock, and suddenly "understood" that he might have been tricked...
If the other party is indeed from the Qintian Prison and is investigating the same thing as himself, then all the doubts will have reasonable explanations...
Therefore, not only did he arrest the wrong person, but he also hit a brick wall. What was even worse was that he was soul-searched by the other party and leaked the mission information...
This was also the reason why he shouted loudly to kill him just now. It was not because he knew Ji Ping'an's identity, but because he was worried that his mission would be leaked... But now, Jian Zheng is here in person...
Thinking of this, Sun Xianzu's chest felt tight.
His throat was sweet and fishy, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. His vision went dark and he fainted completely.
The people present did not pay attention to the general who fainted from anger.
It's about digesting this information.
The magistrate and Ye Hongling looked at each other, and they both understood the "connotation" of these words, and realized that behind this conflict, there might be a fight between the imperial military department and the Qintian prison.
Seeing this, Yu Yu felt that he could not be robbed of the limelight. He proudly raised his chin and said calmly:
"That's right, this holy lady is walking as a Taoist sect. During this time, she also investigated the case with Ji Sichen."
Taoist saint!
Everyone's eyes twitched again: There was actually a Taoist sect involved in this?
But Pei Qiuwei noticed a name keenly:
"Ji Sichen? Is he the one who won the Grand Prize in the City of Gods?"
Huang He straightened his back and said, "He is my young master."
Peaceful season!
This hexagram master is actually the star official who recently defeated all the geniuses in the Grand Prize of the City of Gods and stole the limelight. He has risen like a meteor recently! ?
After several months of fermentation, the news of the grand prize has already spread. The public may have only heard about it and do not understand the specific situation. There are even many rumors and fallacies.
But the people present were of high status and certainly not ignorant. The moment I heard this name, I remembered a series of rumors about it.
Including the news that he is suspected of having obtained the true biography of the national master.
Li Xiangjun suddenly understood why his crazy father respected this hexagram master so much.
It is very likely that it involves some secrets from the past of the National Preceptor.
I also understood how outrageous the speculations made by my mother and daughter were... They were not agents of the Beast Control Sect, but geniuses of Qin Tian Jian.
Mochou's matter may indeed be related to the other party, but it is not a normal thing for the legendary "Ji Sichen" to be able to contact the Beast Control Sect and alert Elder Luan Yu to ask.
It turned out to be him... Pei Qiuwei was slightly distracted. As a woman who likes reading, she didn't care much about the Grand Prize in the City of Gods.
Unexpectedly, after He Pei Qian came back, he kept showing off in front of her and chattering endlessly.
One of the names that appears most frequently is Ji Ping'an.
She also brought back his completed poems of the National Master, which made her memory particularly profound.
I also imagined what kind of person that would be.
But I didn't expect to get acquainted in this way.
"Ji Ping'an..."
Ye Hongling chewed on the name, took a deep breath, and felt relieved, and her previous doubts about it disappeared.
If the other party is a representative of the Qintian Prison and is paying attention to the changes in the world, then all suspicious behaviors have reasonable explanations.
As for Xishan, his explanation of "sharpening swords for a hundred years", presumably... is also related to the teachings of the national master?
As for Qiu Shanchang, who was holding the wine jar, he was simply surprised and excited, as if he had heard a big secret.
Magistrate Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief:
Just now, he was still thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the military government, but now it has become a conflict between Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of War.
It was undoubtedly one less trouble for him.
He immediately said:
"It turned out to be a senior disciple of Qin Tianjian and Taoist sect. It was because the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and Sun Zhonglang did not notify me before taking action that such a flaw happened."
The skill of dumping the blame is heartbreaking.
Ji Ping'an sighed, stood up and said:
"Thank you, Jianzheng, for coming to the rescue. General Sun's soul is wounded. It's better to take him out for treatment first."
The old supervisor glanced at him, nodded and said:
"It should be so, then let's leave here first."
The two of them obviously had no intention of telling the truth. Although the others were extremely curious, they did not dare to stop them.
Ye Hongling raised her hand to pick up Sun Xianzu, and then she realized that in the entire prison, except for the few people in front of her, the other officers and jailers nearby, including the small flag officers and other soldiers, were unconscious.
Apparently Jian Zheng did it easily.
In this way, today's events and Ji Ping'an's identity were also controlled within the scope of these few people.
"Prefect, wait a minute," Ji Ping'an suddenly stopped him and said:
"I heard that General Sun also arrested several people besides me. If it is convenient, I would like to meet them alone."
The magistrate was startled, glanced at Jian Zheng, and said with a smile:
"sure."
…
…
After sending a group of people out of the cell, Ji Ping'an rubbed his brows and walked towards the depths of the "A" cell under the leadership of the jailer.
Counting him, there were five people captured by Sun Xianzu, and the other four were imprisoned in different cells.
Ji Ping'an looked over one after another, but did not enter, just took a look through the railing.
Maybe it was because the arrest was too short and there was no time for torture, so everything seemed fine.
There were both men and women, including merchants, martial arts men, and women of the common people... However, Ji Ping'an's divination and deductions went through one by one, but there was no obstacle.
Considering that the divination of the "reborn person" will be disturbed due to the star fragments, the suspicion can basically be ruled out.
Of course, this would be an exception if the other party has superb means and can reverse his astrology with extremely low cultivation... but the possibility is extremely low.
"It seems that Sun Xianzu would rather catch the wrong person than let him go. Also, since Jiuzhou is so big, the reborn people are scattered in various states, so they are rare. And with the cunning of most reborn people, how can they be easily found?"
Ji Ping'an shook his head and walked towards the deepest part of the cell.
"Xie Wensheng is just ahead." The jailer pointed forward respectfully.
Ji Ping'an said "yes" and said lightly: "You go further."
The jailer received the prefect's warning and did not dare to be rude, so he hurriedly walked away.
When the surroundings calmed down, Ji Ping'an dusted his sleeves and walked to the cell door in front.
Relying on the orange flame of the brazier, he stood with his hands behind his hands and saw a gray cell through the gap in the metal railing. There was nothing on the ground, not even hay.
There was only one chain extending out of the entire cell. Tethered to a young man wearing a scholar's robe.
The latter did not sit up, but lay lazily on the cell floor, as if sleeping soundly, and slightly lifted the robe on his belly, revealing a slightly shriveled belly.
The whole person did not have the fear and sadness that a prisoner should have.
Instead, the cell feels like a bed at home.
Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you Xie Wensheng?"
The sleepy scholar then opened his eyelids, yawned widely, and sat up lazily, revealing an unkempt, somewhat delicate face.
There was no anger on Xie Wensheng's face, only boredom. He glanced at Ji Ping'an and seemed surprised by the other party's dress:
"Hey, why is it that a Taoist priest is here to interrogate me? Shouldn't he be some kind of soldier leader?"
There was a hint of provocation in his tone.
It seems that there is no need to hide his identity at all.
Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"So, they haven't had a chance to interrogate you yet? Why?"
Xie Wensheng blinked and said:
"Who knows, maybe you are busy arresting people all over the city, or you think I can't escape anyway? So you are not with them? Are you an official from some other yamen in Dazhou? Oh, you are from the Guojiao of Dazhou, right? The Taoist sect has a method of asking souls to search for souls, which is appropriate, but you don’t have to waste your efforts. We are all people who have died once. Will I be afraid of death again? At most, I will die. "
Ji Pingan said with great interest:
"What you say is dishonest. It is people who have died who are more afraid of death. If you really don't care, why did you run away last night?"
Xie Wensheng sneered:
"I just don't care about this skin, and I'm not stupid."
Ji Ping'an smiled and said:
"I like to deal with smart people. Since you are not stupid, why not reveal your identity and avoid punishment."
Xie Wensheng let out a "ha" sound, with a somewhat unruly look on his face:
"When I was traveling across Kyushu, you little babies weren't even born yet. How could you, just by yourself, want to manipulate me?"
Ji Ping'an sighed and said:
"The people of Xiaoyao Sect, even if they are reincarnated, they still have the same temper, which is annoying."
Xiaoyaomen!
When he heard these three words, Xie Wensheng's original temperament and unruly expression froze instantly, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
I felt a subconscious chill running down my spine. It was not fear, but the instinctive nervousness and stress reaction that occurs when a person's origins and secrets are suddenly revealed.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "What Xiaoyaomen?"
Poor acting skills... Ji Pingan laughed and said:
"Isn't the spell you performed last night the sect's spell from Xiaoyao Sect?
Well, let me think about it. Xiaoyao Sect is a small sect with a long history. It is a branch of Taoism. It advocates freedom and freedom, not being bound by heaven and earth, and pays attention to doing things as one pleases. Therefore, the inheritance of master and disciple is also very casual.
Each generation of sect masters has been free and happy for many years, and is reluctant to accept disciples, and is too lazy to accept more disciples, so there are always very few disciples.
Because of this, when the Dao Alliance collapsed in the past, there was only a single seedling left. Wei Huayang once recruited him, but he refused and ran away to no one knows where.
Later, the Daqian Dynasty suppressed the rebels, and the Xiaoyao Sect owners of that generation were driven out of the mountains and chased across Kyushu by the army like rabbits. They were in such a state of embarrassment..."
As Xie Wensheng listened, his face gradually turned red. Unable to maintain his lazy persona, he interrupted:
"shut up!"
Ji Ping'an looked at him in surprise and said with a smile:
"It seems that I was right. But you are so excited. Could it be that you have hit a sore spot? Are you the sect leader who is being chased around but refuses to get involved in the battle of the Nine Provinces Dynasty? Or is it his disciple? "
Xie Wensheng's cheeks twitched and he stared at him through the fence and said:
"Death is death. You don't need to use words to provoke me. My past identity and life are like floating clouds. Now I am no one, just 'Xie Wensheng'."
Ji Ping'an sighed softly, feeling complicated.
Among the reborn people he had encountered before, there were cautious actors like Xu Yuanyun, as well as bold and careful enemies like Zhu Xun and Jusha Sanren.
But there are all kinds of people in the world, and there are always some weird ones. No matter how many times they are reincarnated, they don't like to fight, and they have no desires or pursuits.
He had come into contact with Xiaoyao Sect a few times in the past thousand years, but they didn't have much interaction with each other... Mainly because this lineage was too stubborn, and they often liked to go to the deep mountains where birds didn't poop to practice.
Really boring.
"I suddenly understood why you were noticed to be abnormal." Ji Ping'an said, "Because you didn't try to pretend."
Xie Wensheng said calmly:
"Yes. Although I don't know why fate brought me back, do I have to fight if God wants me to fight? Ridiculous. It seems that you people have already mastered a lot of information, so why bother asking me, an ignorant person."
Ji Ping said:
"Ignorance is useless. I don't care who you were in your previous life, but if you can't say something useful, then I won't save you."
Xie Wensheng was startled: "You want to save me?"
Ji Ping'an said calmly:
"The person who captured you is from the Ministry of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a master in the army, but we are not."
Xie Wensheng fell silent. After a moment, he scratched his messy hair and laughed at himself as if he was resigned to his fate:
"That's all, I'm just a slave to you and I'm a fish. I don't know what you juniors are thinking, whether you want to deceive me, a ghost who returned from the sea of stars, but you are at least better than those soldiers. I only have one in my hand, which is okay. Useful information."
"What?"
"I received a letter. Well, just about ten days ago, I suddenly found a letter beside my pillow when I was sleeping at night. The person in the letter said that he was also a 'resurrection from the dead' and invited me Join them and fight against the uncertainties of the future.”
"them?"
"Well. You should still remember the demonic sect of the 'Four Saints'. The other party claims to be the leader of the Four Saints and invited me to conspire with me on big things."
The Four Holy Leaders!
Ji Pingan's heart sank, and then he became a little excited.
After the cursed killer died and the clues were cut off, he unexpectedly got another clue about the Four Saints from Xie Wensheng.
You must know that according to the information he currently has, the Four Holy Leaders are likely to have secrets about the starry sky that exceed those of other reborn people.
And the other party has also come into contact with the "Cursed Killer"... So, it is not surprising to try to contact Xiaoyao Sect.
"Continue." Ji Ping'an said.
Xie Wensheng said:
"I don't know how those people found me and how they secretly sent the letter in. But I, a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, have always been too lazy to get involved in these important matters, so I ignored them. But I was also worried that the other party would come again, so I was always on guard.
I also thought about leaving, but with my current cultivation level... In Xishan Academy, with the sword cultivator named Qi on the mountain there, it might be safer... so I didn't leave. Who knew that people in your court do not respect martial ethics..."
Ji Ping'an interrupted his chatter and said:
"So, you didn't contact them? Where's the letter?"
"Burned. But I can tell you the content of the letter. It's actually nothing. It only has an address. It tells me that if I want to join them, I should go to that place and meet someone." Xie Wensheng said:
"If you want to arrest these people, you'd better do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the news of my arrest spreads, this contact method will probably be cut off."
Ji Ping'an's breathing was slightly rapid, and he had an unexpected surprise:
"Where is the address?"
…
…
Government office, inner hall.
A group of people led by Qin Tian Jianzheng, after walking out of the prison, used the "Star Escape Technique" on him and rolled him up together.
We sat quietly together drinking tea and waiting, and also used this time to digest the whole incident.
After accepting the setting that "Li Anping" was "Ji Ping'an", everyone began to shift their attention to the matter of Sun Xianzu leading troops to arrest people, or more specifically, the true intention behind it.
However, the people present were all smart people, and none of them took the initiative to mention it, but more or less, they either knew it well or were vaguely aware of it, and they all had guesses.
Probably the only one who was completely confused was Qiu Shanchang, who was just holding the wine jar alone and shivering.
In the silent atmosphere, the soil outside the hall suddenly rose up, and pieces of soil poured out like fountains. Everyone looked up and saw Ji Ping'an holding the mountain staff, releasing his escape technique and walking out.
