Chapter 306 The prefect of Yuezhou receives the order! (Please subscribe)

The mystery is solved.

At this moment, everyone in the room unanimously exhaled a deep breath.

After busy for several days, they finally solved the secret code left by the "scholar" and locked the enemy's location. This made the Jinyi people excited and nervous at the same time.

"So, this Cao Garden is probably related to the Immortal Forest?" Female Jinyi asked.

Showing his fists open and clenched, he felt the urge to pick up a knife and start slashing people.

Qi Ping nodded and said in a deep voice:

"It is very possible that the scholar who left this information must have discovered something, but it may not have been confirmed at the time, so he went to investigate after leaving the code. As for the key left to Hongye, it was a backup plan for a rainy day... And

His disappearance itself is proof."

He explained his analysis again,

Everyone's hearts sank. Although they had never met him, they all had respect for the spy who might have met with something unexpected.

Immediately, there was anger.

"What to do next?" asked a Jinyi.

As the nominal "organizer", Yu Qing turned to look at Qi Ping, wanting to hear his opinion.

Qi Ping held the table with both hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the flames reflected in his pupils:

"Soldiers are very fast. As of now, things are very clear. This 'Tianjian Villa' may be Bulao Lin's stronghold in Yuezhou. As far as I know, this group of people is also involved with the Duke of Yue.

There aren't many choices left for us right now.

One is to sneak in to investigate, collect evidence, and slowly map it out, but this method is not very practical. Once it is done, it will definitely alert the snake."

Although Qi Ping could change his vest and go, he was not sure how strong the enemy was.

He does want to find opportunities to hone himself, but that doesn't mean he is looking for death...

Of course, the key is still not necessary.

Everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.

Qi Ping continued:

"The second is to take down the other party before they can react. In the meantime, as long as we can capture the important figures in Bu Lao Lin, we can directly know whether the Duke of Yue is colluding with them.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, once we attack Tianjian Villa, the Duke's Office is likely to get the news, whether it is erasing the evidence or sending people to support it.

Even...escape...is possible."

Will it?

It’s hard to say. Although there is still no direct evidence at the moment, multiple sources of information corroborate each other, and the suspicion of Yue Guogong is extremely high.

Flush must be prepared.

It is necessary to prevent the Jinyi people from setting off and being notified by the Duke of Yue.

We must also prevent him from escaping, even to the point of... jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Qi Ping has not forgotten that in the Duke's Mansion alone, there are two marrow washers and more than a dozen qi guides. At present, the strength of the enemies in Tianjian Villa is unknown, and he must "restrict" off-site factors as much as possible.

"I support striking first," said Nu Jinyi, a violent output character. She decisively chose the second option:

"We can separate some people and arrest them in two places together."

"No, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. It would be too risky to divide the troops. Moreover... we are just 'suspicions' at the moment and have no evidence. If we rush to arrest a prince, if there is no gain from Tianjian Villa, we will be very passive."

Jinyi analysis.

For a time, everyone was talking and offering advice and suggestions.

Finally, they all looked at Qi Ping: "What do you think we should do?"

Qi Ping was silent for a moment, seeming to be hesitating, weighing the pros and cons in his mind and realizing that it was difficult to have a perfect method.

It is necessary to bring enough combat power to arrest people.

There needs to be an excuse... to seal off the Duke's Mansion. If no evidence is found, there will be room for change.

What should he do? At this moment, he listed the chips he had in his mind, analyzed and calculated... After a while, an idea emerged.

"I have an idea." Qi Ping held the round table with both hands, looked around the crowd, and said seriously.

…

…

The government office is very large, with the layout of the front office and the backyard.

That is, the building in the front is the office space, and the building in the back is the residence assigned to the prefect.

Zhang Yun's family lived in Fuya.

He was usually fine, but in the past few days, Magistrate Zhang was in a very depressed mood, had a bad appetite, and had lost weight.

Since the group of Jinyi arrived in Yuezhou City, they have stayed here without moving. They said they came to investigate Immortal Lin. Zhang Yun also made full cooperation and wanted to send this group of Hell Kings away as soon as possible.

However, a series of operations by the investigating team left him only confused.

On the first day after arriving, a woman bumped into the Duke's mansion, and even the manager was so angry that he left, which made him, the prefect, nervous.

He was afraid that there would be a conflict between the imperial envoy in Beijing and the local wealthy families, and that he, the prefect, would be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma.

Fortunately, the matter ended without any resolution, and the Wu family seemed to have given up pursuing it, which made him relieved.

Immediately, that night, a large group of people in brocade clothes swarmed out and brought back two carts of books. It was an act of confusion. They did not go out for the next few days.

He wanted to ask what was going on, but held back. After all, he was in an officialdom and had to protect himself wisely. There were some things that it was better not to know.

Just from the mouth of the food delivery man, I roughly knew what a group of people were looking for in the book.

"Could it be a clue to Immortal Lin?"

Magistrate Zhang didn't understand that even though he had heard of Qi Ping's reputation, he didn't look down upon him at all.

But...he couldn't figure out what kind of investigation method this was.

"Could you be able to solve a case just by reading a book while sitting in the room? It's weird."

Magistrate Zhang shook his head. After dinner, he went back to his room and turned on the lamp to fall asleep. He tossed and turned, but could not fall asleep. He had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Magistrate Zhang suddenly woke up and sat up in the darkness. His wife who was sleeping next to him also rubbed his eyes and stood up:

"master……"

"Shh." Magistrate Zhang raised a finger, stepped on his shoes, and put on his pajamas. Then he pushed open the door in the moonlight and saw an old servant standing at the door of the courtyard, talking to someone.

He turned around and said:

"Master, I'm looking for you."

Zhang Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and said in surprise: "Yu Qianhu? Are you in trouble?"

He was inexplicably panicked.

Yu Qing stepped in, expressionless, and said, "Let's talk alone."

"...Okay." Zhang Yun bravely invited him into the study, lit the candle, closed the door, and asked hurriedly:

"What's the point of Yu Qianhu's late night visit?"

Yu Qing stared at him calmly and said, "I remember that Mr. Zhang once said that he would spare no effort to help catch the thief, right?"

Zhang Yun said righteously: "Naturally."

Yu Qing smiled: "Are you not afraid of anything?"

Zhang Yun was startled and suddenly realized something. To be able to become the prefect of the largest city in the south, this civil servant must be a very smart person.

However, many times, he doesn't want to think about it and is rarely confused.

But at this moment, when he heard Yu Qing's question, he realized that he could no longer be confused. After a moment of silence, the moderation and sadness on Magistrate Zhang's face suddenly receded.

There was an awe-inspiring official authority on his rich face.

This fourth-grade official, who was dubbed "Heshi Lao", "Hexini" and "Mediocre" in the Yuezhou City officialdom, finally showed his hidden fangs, smiled and said:

"Do you know why your majesty ordered me, a northerner, to be the prefect of Yuezhou?"

"Why?" Yu Qing asked.

Zhang Yun sighed: "Because I don't have any worries."

Yu Qing smiled, took out the silk paper roll Qi Ping gave him from his arms, and slowly unfolded it:

"Zhang Yun, the prefect of Yuezhou, accepts the order!"
