Dafeng's Night Squad

223 The stupid Lin ‘an is also useful _

Zhou Qu’s widow?

Xu Qi ‘an’s first reaction was, “She was lying.

Apart from the officials, the officials from all over the country, from the chief administrator of a state to the head of a County, were all foreigners.

As a commander, Zhou Fu, who had experienced the affairs of the commander division, was no exception. Moreover, experience was his official position on the surface, while his secret identity was that of a night watchman.

Would Wei Yuan allow a spy to bring his wife and child with him? Wouldn’t that make him a traitor?

“Zhou Jing?” Governor Zhang frowned, ” what injustice does he have? ”

He had a “I don’t know who Zhou qu is” attitude.

“My husband used to be a member of the commander’s division in Yunzhou,” yang Yingying said sorrowfully.

Governor Zhang was taken aback and his attitude suddenly changed. He bent down and helped yang Yingying up from her kneeling position, ” so you’re manager Zhou’s wife. What happened to manager Zhou? ” And why did the madam go to Qing Zhou to complain?

“Qingzhou and Yunzhou are on the same level, so envoy yang might not take over this case. Well, I am the governor of Yunzhou, and the three divisions of Yunzhou have to listen to my orders. If Madam has any grievances, there’s no harm in saying.”

It turned out that not only were women natural actors, but their acting skills as officials were also top-notch ... Xu Qi ‘an watched silently as old Zhang performed.

Yang Yingying hesitated for a moment before she stared at provincial governor Zhang, “”My Lord, may I have a look at your appointment document, or perhaps the official seal?”

As soon as he said this, Governor Zhang and the night watchmen frowned in unison.

The copper and silver gongs couldn’t help but press down on the hilt of their knives and examine yang Yingying.

This was not something an ordinary woman could say, even if she was the experienced lady.

She knew the market very well ... Xu Qi ‘an also held the handle of his knife and stared at yang Yingying seriously. There was no fluctuation of Qi in this woman’s body. Judging from her body fat coverage, she did not seem to be a martial arts practitioner.

However, he could only rule out the possibility that the other party was a martial artist. The other systems were gaudy and had too many tricks up their sleeves. He could not take them lightly.

“I’ll have to trouble Jiang Jingluo to retrieve my documents and official seal,” provincial governor Zhang took two steps back without a change in his expression.

Coward ... Jiang Luzhong gave him a sidelong glance and took out the document and the official seal.

Provincial governor Zhang did not take it and automatically ignored Jiang Luzhong’s signal. He looked at yang Yingying.”I’ll allow you to take a look since you’re the experienced lady.”

Jiang Luzhong had no choice but to step forward and show the documents and official seal.

Yang Yingying looked at it carefully for a long time. In fact, this was also her first time looking at the appointment document. Her eyes searched for the words ” Yunzhou ” and ” Governor. then, when she saw the bright red Seal, she no longer had any doubts.

Up until now, the other party was willing to argue with a weak woman for so long, which was actually a kind of sincerity and behavior.

Yang Yingying knelt down again and kowtowed, ” I’m yang Yingying, a woman from Yunzhou’s education workshop. I met Lord Zhou a few years ago and fell in love with him. I’ve been removed from my lowly status and have been serving Lord Zhou ...

Everyone tacitly revealed an “I see” expression.

... So he was a seafood merchant. No wonder he was more knowledgeable than ordinary women and even knew how to read documents and official seals. Xu Qi ‘an suddenly realized.

In this era, seafood merchants were the most educated and cultured group of women. Zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and singing, proficient in everything.

Yang Yingying briefly talked about her past with Zhou Jing, and frankly said that she was a woman who had been raised outside and that Zhou Jing would only meet her once in a while.

“Some time ago, Lord Zhou suddenly came to find me and gave me an item. He said that he might be in danger in the near future, and if he really did encounter an accident, he asked me to immediately hide, then find a way to leave Yunzhou, and give this item to the chief administrator of Qingzhou, Lord yang.

“Not long after, I received the news of Lord Zhou’s passing ...” Yang Yingying’s tears rolled down her face as she sobbed.

“This commoner was sorrowful and afraid, and did not dare to continue staying, so I hid in a sister’s house and asked her to Scout for information.

after hiding for a while, my sister told me that master Zhao’s caravan would be going to Qingzhou soon. I borrowed 20 taels of silver from her, bought a horse, and left Yunzhou with the caravan ...

Everyone knew what happened after that.

Xu Qi ‘an observed yang Yingying’s expression coldly. This time, when she spoke, her eyes were impartial, and her voice was sorrowful and full of emotion.

He couldn’t see any elements of deception.

So he looked for clues from yang Yingying’s words-Zhou qu did not expose his identity as a night watchman until his death, even if the other party was a completely trusted friend in charge of abalones. This showed that Zhou Fu was a qualified spy.

If he were to reveal his identity so easily, it would be very suspicious.

As for why he went to Qingzhou to look for recluse Purple Sun and not the other neighboring provinces, Xu Qi ‘an’s judgment was that Zhou qu trusted no one but this great scholar from the Yun Lu Academy.

First of all, compared to ordinary scholars, the great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy were more trustworthy due to their cultivation system. After all, rotten people couldn’t walk the scholarly system.

Secondly, there was a conflict of orthodoxy between Yun Lu Academy and the scholars from the Imperial College. They adhered to the principle that the enemy of their enemy was a friend, so looking for recluse Purple Sun was the right choice.

Governor Zhang frowned. you suspect that Zhou Jing was killed.

Yang Yingying nodded her head vigorously. isn’t it already very obvious? Sir, I beg you to seek justice for my husband.

“This ...” “Alright, I promise you. Take out the last thing that director Zhou left for you,” Governor Zhang said after a moment of silence.

“Thank you, my Lord.” Yang Yingying immediately kowtowed.
