When Xu Feiying arrived, Qi Xuansu was reading the copies of the files about Gao Mingyin - because of the Xiayuan Festival, Qi Xuansu started preparing for the Xiayuan Festival celebration before he had time to read them.
Ke Qingqing directly led Xu Feiying to Qi Xuansu's study, which was more private than the reception room. Qi Xuansu put down the file in his hand and stood up to greet him.
With many years of experience in handling cases, Xu Feiying noticed something was wrong.
Although Master Qi was holding a file instead of a sword or a firecracker, he had a murderous aura about him.
Qi Xuansu looked at Xu Feiying deeply and said after a long time: "Master Xu's name is Xu Feiying?"
Xu Feiying responded: "Yes."
Qi Xuansu took out a horizontal knife from Xumiwu and said: "My knife has the same name as Master Xu, also called "Feiying". This knife has not been with me for a long time, but the people who died under this knife have not been with me for a long time." It's quite a few. "
Xu Feiying felt a chill in her body, and she felt a bit of the lawlessness of Qi Xuansu's words.
Qi Xuansu continued: "I know that it is not easy for Master Xu to do his job. In such a large imperial capital, there are many powerful people everywhere. If you want to gain a foothold, it is not easy to offend people casually."
Xu Feiying's face changed slightly, and she smelled a bit of murderous intent in Master Qi's words. The last time they met, Master Qi was reserved and polite. He was not much different from many young handsome men she had met. He was not even arrogant, but more kind. He spoke in mandarin, and she didn't take it too seriously, but Only then did she realize that she was totally wrong. Master Qi was hiding a hint of violence under his respectful and polite mask. She had a direct feeling that Master Qi was going to tear off the mask and kill someone.
Qi Xuansu changed the topic: "I just have a merciless request now. If I have offended anyone, I will first apologize to Master Xu."
Xu Feiying trembled, but still said: "I don't dare, Master Qi, please speak."
Qi Xuansu said: "For so many years, the Superintendent has not known anything about Master Gao Mingyin, right? I don't want to listen to prevarications, I want to hear the truth from Master Xu. In short, in one sentence, Master Xu will either stand by me Be my friend here, or stand opposite me and be my enemy.”
Xu Feiying immediately made a guess. I am afraid that Master Gao has taken action against Master Qi. Master Qi was angered, lost his patience, and wanted to show off with Master Gao.
She was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I don't dare to be an enemy of Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Mr. Xu's friendship in helping me today will be borne in mind by Mr. Qi, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Xu Feiying coughed softly: "I just hope that Master Qi can complete his task in one battle. If he survives beating the snake, I'm afraid... there will be endless troubles."
The reason why she decided to side with Qi Xuansu was partly because of the pressure given by Qi Xuansu, but also because she still had a conscience in her heart. She didn't know much about Master Qi, but Master Qi always really saved a group of abducted girls. Yes, on the other hand, it is also true that the brothel under Gao Ming's name is selling people. It is clear who is right and who is wrong.
Since Xu Feiying chose Qi Xuansu, she naturally hopes that Qi Xuansu can completely bring down Mr. Gao without leaving any further trouble, otherwise she will also be in some trouble.
Qi Xuansu said, "Don't worry, Master Xu."
Xu Feiying no longer talked about the official rhetoric like last time, and said slowly: "Da Xuan is different from Da Wei. The status of big businessmen is very high, and the eunuchs have lost power, so the businessmen... are clever and conceal their faces. He is a businessman, but secretly he is one of the most powerful people in the North City. Under his name, there is a second-class brothel, two third-class brothels, and the green lower place that was swept away by Master Qi. , not to mention other businesses, the capital of these four businesses alone is more than 200,000 Taiping dollars. There are also gambling houses, workshops, pawnshops, North and South trading houses and other businesses, all of which add up to at least millions of Taiping dollars. Of course, not all of the money belongs to him. He is just the "shopkeeper" who manages it on his behalf. There are other owners, and these owners are his greatest confidence. "
"We don't dare to investigate in depth who those big figures are, so we really don't know. However, Gao Mingyin is very good at taking advantage of the situation. With the help of the backers behind the scenes, he cooperates with the Wucheng Bingma Si Yamen, Shuntianfu Yamen, Qing Dynasty We all have friendships with Luan Wei. The governor of Shuntian Prefecture was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. He just took office not long ago and should have nothing to do with Gao Mingyin, but the clerk of the Lifu of Shuntian Prefecture is his close brother."
"Master, don't underestimate this official. Although he is just a small clerk, as the head of the official office, he has control over everything in Shuntian Prefecture, from the county magistrate to the ordinary people. Everyone should look up to him as a clerk. Mr. Fu Yin relies on him to handle many things, so he can show off his authority in the official world, but in private he is still polite to him. Sometimes, he is two fingers wide. The note is more effective than the official document. It is said that even if it is given to a fifth-rank official, it will not be changed. The Qianhu of the Qingluan Guard and the doctor of the Sixth Division are only the fifth rank. After all, smooth officials and iron-clad subordinates, these Officials are passed down from generation to generation, and the skills passed down from family to family are not difficult to control the chief officials. And if officials want to achieve political achievements, it is even less necessary for them to contribute."
"This is true for the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, not to mention the Wucheng Army and Horses Department Yamen, especially the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Department, who is a frequent visitor to Gaoming's anonymous Xingyuan and gambling houses, although the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Department is far inferior. The commander of Qingluan Guard is so distinguished, but he is still a high-ranking official of the third rank and should not be underestimated."
"The leader of Beicheng Gang is also supported by Gao Mingyin. This leader has trained hundreds of thugs. As long as they are in Beicheng territory, all low-level people must obey his orders. Foreign demons and monsters want to take over Beicheng territory. When opening a business, you must pay enough filial piety. It is said that he has more than a dozen lives on his hands, and he collects "regular silver" as much as four or five thousand Taiping qian every year. We have always wanted to capture him, but there are many convoluted links and no substantial evidence..."
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Speaking of which, I, a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, earns less money per year than a beggar leader, and my salary is already top-notch among the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priests. .”
Xu Feiying paused and then said: "Gao Mingyin's friendship with Qingluan Guard is very secretive. We don't know. He also has many connections among the six departments. The key is that this person also has an intersection with the "Inn". Hiring murderers is It's a common thing, but he never does this kind of thing personally, so it's hard to catch him. "
Speaking of this, Xu Feiying hesitated and said: "He should also have connections in the Imperial Palace. It's just that the Taoist sect was reorganizing the Imperial Palace, and most of his old connections were transferred away from the Imperial Palace. In short, he is like a silkworm A spider forms a big web, and ordinary people who are in trouble with it are like moths stuck in the spider's web and unable to move."
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.
It is true that he beat Zhao Fu'an, the chief military officer of the town, but in name it was a private fight between the two. It all depends on the level of cultivation. Ji Jiaozhen, the deputy head of the Shuzhou Taoist Palace, acted as a witness. Zhao Fu'an had No amount of power can be used, let alone sending men in black to surround and suppress Qi Xuansu.
But if Qi Xuansu didn't have a Taoist identity, how could Zhao Fu'an have a private fight with him? He would probably directly send men in black to encircle and kill him, using all kinds of firearms. Qi Xuansu had seen men in black encircle and suppress Feng Bo of "Tianting" , even "Fengyan Jialiu" was used, and Tianren had to avoid the edge for a while.
Zhao Fu'an was fighting privately, just to break an arm and lose some face. If he really dared to order the men in black to surround and kill the deputy palace master and the principal of the Taoist sect, then his life and property would not be saved.
Furthermore, Qi Xuansu invited Zhao Fu'an to fight. To put it bluntly, it was just for revenge and to vent his anger. There was no conflict of interest with Zhao Fu'an. It was completely different from the current situation and cannot be generalized.
At this moment, Wang Chongnian walked in quickly.
Qi Xuansu came to his senses and asked, "Did you bring the body back?"
Wang Chongnian returned Qi Xuansu's token with both hands: "It has been brought back and is temporarily parked in the hell."
Qi Xuansu took the token and hung it on his waist again, and asked, "Is there any surprise?"
Wang Chongnian answered truthfully: "The people from the Beicheng Army and Horses Division want to stop us, but they are no match for us."
Qi Xuansu said: "Very good, go to Huasheng Hall and ask for a widower, and we will go to the underworld to check the body."
This is where Qi Xuansu's power lies. The other principals are all trying to save his face, so whether it's the Nether Prison or the Huasheng Hall, they can be used as he pleases.
"Here." Wang Chongnian responded.
When Qi Xuansu came to the Nether Prison, Song San had already arrived. He looked at the corpse of his old brother in a daze, feeling as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
Wu Zuo was a ninth-grade Taoist priest. He stood with his hands down, looking at Qi Xuansu, waiting for Qi Xuansu's order.
Qi Xuansu said: "Let's start the autopsy."
"Here." Wu Zuo responded and took out a set of tools.
Xu Feiying was also following Qi Xuansu. She had been handling cases for many years and had seen such scenes many times, so she was not afraid.
Qi Xuansu stared at Wu Zuo's movements with an even expressionless face.
Soon, Wu Zuo opened Wu Si's chest and made a movement.
Qi Xuansu stepped forward and saw that Wu Si's heart had been shattered into several petals. This was the real cause of his death. In other words, he was already dead before he was trampled by the crowd.
Qi Xuansu narrowed his eyes: "Killed with one palm from behind, and without leaving any scars on the surface. The person who made the move was at least in the stage of returning to his true form,"
No one spoke hastily.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys and shock people's hearts.
Qi Xuansu understands one thing very well. If he gives in, no one will do anything for him in the future. It is equivalent to Gao Mingyin stepping on Qi Xuansu's head to maintain the dignity of this local snake.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Mr. Xu, can you find the murderer of Wu Si in two days? I only need to know the traces of the murderer. I don't need evidence, and I don't need you to catch him. Leave the rest to me. Do."
Xu Feiying was startled for a moment and replied: "If you just find out the traces of the murderer without requiring evidence or arresting him, then it shouldn't be difficult."
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Then it's time to work."
