Chapter 62: True and False Roaming Knights

  Qu Qing was arrested on the same day as Liu Yi. The captors were directly sent from the capital. After being captured, where did they go? No one knows.

  He could guess roughly without using his brain, Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi were also reckless and ruthless people. Four months ago, the bombing of Donghai Qian was likely related to these two, otherwise who would use a powerful thunderbolt to deal with a cultivator? This case was done in a shocking manner, it's possible that the two brothers left some clues behind, and the imperial court tracked them down through subtle hints...

  But no one knew where Qu and Liu were being taken. Liang Xin wanted to save them, but should he head towards the capital or go directly to Donghai?

  In the Renziyuan town government office, Liang Xin suddenly jumped up like thunder and slammed his hand on the square table in front of him, shattering it into powder. He shouted loudly: "Who can find out where the person was taken?"

  Most of the people surrounding Liang Xin were important figures in the Pacification Commission. The identity of the Green-clad Riders was special, and it could even be said that every word from Liang Xin represented the will of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Dragons Commission. Several high-ranking Green-clad Riders shook their heads with wry smiles.

  The goat horns were perched on Liang Xin's head, and with a raised chin, his eyes slightly closed, he put on an air of being very angry.

  Suddenly, Liang Xin took a deep breath, and the Seven Corpse Soul Stars that had been hovering over his chest began to rotate slowly!

  Liang Xin was not a spiritual being, but five years of cultivation had made his senses extremely keen. Just now, a fierce killing intent suddenly enveloped him, and he felt as if a sharp blade was pressed against his eyes. Yangjiao Cui, a born demon beast, also widened its eyes in surprise.

  The several green-robed officials around him were all bewildered and ignorant, shaking their heads and sighing.

  Following a voice, like a flowing sand line, slowly pouring into Liang Xin's eardrum: "Come out quickly, I have a clue." As the words were spoken, the murderous intent weakened slightly.

  This kind of sound transmission technique, Liang Xin's second brother Qu Qing Shi also knows, but the distance is at most only about 10 to 15 meters away, if it's too far, it can't be done.

  Liang Xin hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything else. He quickly left the Town Pacification Office.

  After stepping out of the gate, the murderous intent vanished into thin air. A middle-aged white fat man with a shopkeeper-like appearance walked over with a smile and patted Liang Xin's shoulder, saying: "Don't ask for now, follow me!"

  Liang Xin followed behind him, initially still having some doubts in his heart. The fat man looked white and clean, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like the type who could stir up a fierce killing aura or quietly cast a spell to transmit sound into someone's ear. However, after walking for a while, Liang Xin personally witnessed that when the fat man was hurrying along, one of his feet stepped on an ant, but when he lifted his foot again, the ant didn't have any injuries at all, and it jumped away with a flutter of its wings! It seemed as if only a fallen leaf had just brushed past its body.

  After turning two streets, the fat man led Liang Xin into an inn and went directly to the second floor back to the room. The room was nothing special, except that against the wall, a fairly large object was placed, covered with red cloth, making it impossible to see what it was.

  Liáng Xīn then asked in a low voice: "Who are you? What brings you to me?"

  The fatty first lifted the teapot and drank a mouthful of cow's milk, then let out a breath and smiled: "Let me see your nameplate!" As he spoke, he himself also flipped over his hand to reveal a nameplate.

  Liáng Xīn took a look and his face turned red without being able to control it... Pàngzi's nameplate was exactly the same as his own, this time the fake Qing Yi had run into the real You Ji.

  The fatty carefully examined the waist card and smiled, asking: "I'm Gao Jian, how should you address me, brother?"

  "Liàng mó dāo!" translates to "Sharpen your knife!"

  "......good name......" Gao Jian's smile was fake, and after rubbing his palms together, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Liang Moudao, you have a big nerve!"

  Liang Xin remembered Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi, with no good mood and a fat tooth grinding, rolled up his white eyeballs, staring at each other without any politeness.

  Bai Pangzi's eyes narrowed, and he glared back at Liang Xin without showing any weakness. "This case was assigned to me by the superior," he scolded. "You're making a big fuss in the Pacification Office and even revealed your identity. If things go wrong, who will be held responsible?"

  You Qi and Jiu Long Si were in single-line contact with the commander, and they had never intersected with each other. Pangzi Gao Jian did not suspect Liang Xin's identity, but was afraid that Liang Xin would mess up his affairs.

  As soon as he heard the two words 'case', Liang Xin's face changed again, Qing Mo had been seriously injured before, if Liu Yi and Qu Qing Shi also got into trouble, he would really kill someone!

  As soon as Takashi saw Liang Xin's expression change, he immediately floated back and frowned, saying: "What's wrong with you, kid? Can't even keep your cool! You still want to fight me?"

  Liang Xin reached out and gently patted the sheep horn crisp buttocks, the little monkey understood, hurriedly stretched out his hand to tightly hug her head, Liang Xin only then said in a low voice: "Where was Qu Qing Shi taken?" As he spoke, his body slightly leaned forward, the Seven Soul Stars suddenly revolved, his whole body accumulated power, ready to be triggered at any moment.

  Baozi Gao Jian was stunned and cursed: "I want to know these, what's the point of investigating!"

  Liang Xin's body was about to pounce out, and he suddenly realized Gao Jian's words, hastily stopping his momentum, and said in shock: "You don't know either?"

  Gao Jian's face was full of doubt, sizing up Liang Xin from head to toe. After hesitating for a moment, he finally trusted his nameplate.

  The position of the Patrol Officer has no fixed number, so since the establishment of the Kowloon Walled City, only one Patrol Officer was appointed and a nameplate was cast. The retired Patrol Officer's nameplate must be retrieved and destroyed, rather than being directly passed on to the next officer, with no intermediate link.

  Every face of the nameplate, when to issue, when to retrieve and destroy, are recorded clearly. But Song Hongpao is actually Liang Yier's hidden chess piece, and he was never on the volume list.

  Apart from this, the casting of the riding tablet is also the responsibility of the famous refining public family. During the casting process, the rider's essence and blood are infused, and magic is added. Normally, this life plate is invulnerable to water and fire, extremely hard, but once the rider dies, the life plate will shatter and cannot be used. Therefore, whoever holds the life plate must be a rider without a doubt.

  Under Liang Xin's urging, Pangzi Gao Jian slowly opened his mouth: "The ones who took away Qu and Liu this time are people from the Celestial Observatory."

  Liang Xin let out a sigh, even if he was extremely ignorant, he knew that the duty of the Astronomical Observatory was to observe celestial phenomena, predict weather patterns, and calculate astronomical phenomena. The Astronomical Observatory couldn't be considered an official government office, it didn't have the power to arrest people, let alone someone from the Jiulongsi.

  Gao Jian shook his head and said, "You don't know that half a year ago, the National Master followed the imperial edict to take charge of the Celestial Observatory, to promote the fortune of the Great Flood. As long as it is a matter of overcoming the master and harming the sacred, the Celestial Observatory has the right to act independently."

  This time, it's people from the Imperial Observatory who have come to capture you, and they've even brought the Emperor's personally bestowed Dragon Token.

  But it wasn't until Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi were also captured that the Jiulong Temple received news of their arrest. As for the specific charges against them and where they had been taken, the Commander of the Jiulong Temple was just as clueless as everyone else.

  From then on, since the time of Lord Liang Yier, for over 300 years, our Jiulong Si has been protecting its own kind. Even if there were traitors among the Qingyi, it was we who caught them, tried them and executed them ourselves!

  Liang Xin had also heard Qu Qing Shi say this before, and at the time he was astonished. If it were true, wouldn't the Jiulong Si be uncontrollable? How could the imperial court possibly allow such an important government office to become so powerful that no one could restrain it?

  At that time, Qu Qing Shi smiled and said: "It's not that simple. Every case will be reviewed by the three departments of Da Li Temple, Du Cha Yuan, and the Ministry of Punishment. Each one is an ironclad case, even if it changes in form. But with this change, our Jiulong Temple's face will be greatly increased!"

  But this time, the Jiulong Temple was kept in the dark from start to finish, until the person was taken away. The people of Zhenning and Ku Yan were in an uproar, wearing their Qingyi robes in disarray, and only then did they receive the news. How could Commander Zhang not be angry?

  The people of the Astronomical Observatory did not give any explanation, and Jiulong Commandant reported the matter to the imperial court while sending a thousand-mile message to dispatch nearby Qingyi Youji Gaojian to secretly investigate this matter.

  Liáng Xīn hastily retorted: "This matter concerns the Imperial Tutor; are you also daring enough to investigate?"

  Gao Jian shrugged indifferently and smiled: "I don't care about these things, anyway the adults asked me to investigate so I'll investigate, but... you rushed to Zhenning with a red face, what's the hurry? It looks like if you find out where Qu Da is, you'll have to rush to rescue him!"

  As he spoke, Gao Jian took two steps forward, looking straight into Liang Xin's eyes with an expression that was both a smile and not a smile: "Young man, do you want to kill officials and rob prisoners? Are you rebelling?"
