Xu Qingfeng was locked up in prison. It was already dark. He felt hungry, so he took out 100 French coins and handed it to the prison guard, asking him to buy some food. If there was any money left, he would treat it as the prison guard's travel expenses. The prison guard was very happy because the French coins were now equivalent to an ocean. One French coin was an ocean.
However, due to the destruction of the Wei Nation, the value of the French currency had depreciated. Now, the magical equipment was exchanged for one silver dollar, which was comparable to the M dollar.
While he was waiting, Shen Hanxi arrived at the squadron leader's office. The reason why the squadron leader had not gotten off work was because he was waiting for Xu Qingfeng to be arrested.
Now that he heard that the person had been caught, he happily told Shen Hanxi to get off work early and go home. He had to go and do something big. He had to find Xu Bo and tell him about his son's crime.
However, Shen Hanxi did not leave immediately. Instead, she kindly reminded him,""Squadron Leader, when I captured him today, he was holding the Zhongzheng Sword and the certificate in his hand. Moreover, he didn't care at all when he came over.”
"Holding the Zhongzheng Sword?" Seeing her nod, Shou Guangxi didn't mind at all. He smiled and said,""It's just a Zhongzheng Sword. There are at least tens of thousands of this thing in the country. This sword has a few names, namely Chengren Sword or Suicide Sword. There's nothing strange about it. Alright, your work is done. Go home early.”
After saying that, he left. Shen Hanxi wanted to say something, but he didn't want to hear it, so she had no choice but to leave.
Soon, Shou Guang Xi arrived at Xu Bo's cell. Seeing that Old Man Xu was still chatting with his son, he walked in with a fake smile."Are you still chatting?"
The father and son stopped when they heard that. Then, they stood up and greeted him politely. Old Man Xu said first,"We're done talking. It's time to go back!”
He was about to leave when Shou Guang Xi took the opportunity to say,""There's no rush. I just came to tell you that three Japanese ronin were killed a month ago. Today, someone came to report that he saw the murderer. Unfortunately, the murderer was Xu Qingfeng.”
After hearing what he said, Old Man Xu swayed and almost fell. Fortunately, the butler beside him caught him in time.
Xu Bo excitedly went over and said,""That's not possible. He's not old and doesn't have any martial arts. It's impossible for him to kill three ronins without any problems. "I think you're wrong. Or someone deliberately framed him. You might not know this. My son used to throw stones at people. Maybe that person was hit in the head by my son's stone, so he waited for an opportunity to take revenge.”
He was helping to defend himself, but he was cursing in his heart. Since he had killed that ronin, why did he leave behind evidence?
Shou Guang Xi looked enlightened."So there's such a thing! I understand. Don't worry, I enforce the law impartially. I won't malign a good person, but I won't let a bad person off either! Since you said that he didn't kill anyone, I also believe that he wouldn't kill anyone casually. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. I will definitely investigate and prove his innocence! But before that, he had to stay in prison for a while! If the old master wants to see it now, I'll bring you over to take a look!”
"Good, good, good. Thank you!" Old Man Xu went first. Xu Bo wanted to follow him, but Shou Guang Xi stopped him, saying that he hadn't gained his freedom yet.
Xu Bo was helpless. He could only watch helplessly as the cell door was closed again.
Shou Guangxi led the way and brought Old Man Xu to the door of Xu Qingfeng's cell. Through the iron gate, he saw Xu Qingfeng eating some incense inside. Shou Guangxi was stunned and thought, Is this kid in jail? They treated this place as a hostel!
He coughed. Xu Qingfeng looked at the sound and saw Old Man Xu outside the iron gate. He took the chicken drumstick to the door and shouted,"Grandpa, why are you here?"
"I went to your dad's place first. Then, I heard that you were here too, so I came to see you!”"How did you kill three ronins?" Old Man Xu asked.”
Kill the ronin? He immediately remembered, but he did not admit it. Instead, he said with a wronged expression,"Who said I killed someone!"
"If you didn't kill anyone, why are you here now?”
"I'm just here to cooperate with the investigation. I believe the law won't wrongly accuse a good person like me.”Then, he deliberately said loudly," Grandpa, you don't know yet, right? I was called by that person today to meet our chairman. He praised me greatly. Not only did he personally give me the Zhongzheng Sword, but he also gave me a certificate and medal. He praised me for making a great contribution to the country.”
These words were said to Shou Guang Xi, who was with Grandpa, so that he could pass on the message that he had a backer. If he dared to touch me and my family, he would definitely make you suffer.
Shou Guang Xi frowned upon hearing this, but he quickly relaxed as if nothing had happened.
"You went to see the chairman this afternoon?”Old Man Xu did not quite believe his words.
"If you don't believe me, go back and take a look at the things I left at home!”He finished the drumstick and returned to the dining table. As he ate, he said,"And I also promised the chairman to make medicine for the army. When you go back, if someone goes to look for you, agree to their conditions, but the premise is that you can't make our family lose money.”
Instead of letting you think about him, it was better to choose a backer and let the backer hold the fort and control the core. This way, he could earn money and be protected.
The reason why he was willing to share the Mad Pill Spirit with others was that he still had the method to make the Ten Thousand Spirit Pill. When he earned enough money, he would enter the machine to produce stable Mad Pill Spirits and Ten Thousand Spirit Pills.
"Is there anything else you want?”Old Man Xu didn't know what to say either, so he just asked a useless question.
Xu Qingfeng was stunned. Then, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and went to the iron gate. He took out the remaining few hundred French coins and handed them to a prison guard."This is my food expenses for the next few days. Breakfast is porridge and youtiao. Lunch and dinner are like what I'm eating now. If I still haven't gone out after the money is used up, go to my house to get the money!”
Then, he said a few simple words to Old Man Xu, telling him not to be too tired. Then, he went back to eat. Old Man Xu did not say anything else. He called out to the butler and left the prison.
Xu Qingfeng turned his head and looked at Shou Guang Xi, who hadn't left. He asked,"Officer, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you look good!"
"Hehe, thank you. I think I'm good-looking too!”After saying that, she stopped looking at him and focused on eating the remaining food.
Shou Guangxi was speechless at his narcissism. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to. Xu Qingfeng's words just now blocked his words.
Now, it seemed that he could only think of another way.
Shou Guang Xi didn't say anything else. He simply left a few words and turned to leave.
When Old Man Xu returned home, the others had also returned. Everyone had been busy all day, so they were so tired that they found a good place to sleep.
The next day.
While the Xu family was still asleep, a military vehicle suddenly came to the door. After it stopped, two men in Chinese tunic suits and a bright sun badge on their chests got out.
One of the young men went over and rang the doorbell. Not long after, the butler came over and opened the door to ask,"May I know who you are looking for?"
"Is this Xu Qingfeng's house?" the person who rang the doorbell asked.”
The butler nodded, but didn't say anything. The man asked curiously, and the butler didn't hide anything."Our young master was arrested by the police yesterday!”
The man was stunned. Then, the person behind him asked,"Why was he caught?"
"Someone is slandering me!" " I don't know who you are. Why are you looking for our young master?" she asked.”
"If there's anything, let's wait for him to come back!”After saying that, the man turned around and got into the car. The other man also got into the car and drove away.
The butler was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and went back.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the police station. The two of them got out of the car again and went straight inside.
Unlike Xu Qingfeng, they did not look for Shen Hanxi. Instead, they went straight to the police chief's office. They did not knock on the door when they reached it. When they opened the door and entered, they saw Xia Dingwen and a woman in a police uniform biting each other's lips.
The person coughed and interrupted them.
The woman quickly got up, put on her clothes, and rushed out of the door with a red face. Xia Dingwen's face was ashen, but before he could get angry, the young man took out his ID and waved it in front of him. He said,"This is Secretary Ma of our Blue Shirt Society!”
Xia Dingwen quivered. Although the Blue Shirt Society had not been established for a long time, it was still Principal Jiang's confidant society. Therefore, there were rumors that it was better to offend an army than the Blue Shirt Society. Otherwise, your death would not be far away.
"Hehe, so it's Secretary Ma.”Xia Dingwen wanted to suck up to him, but Secretary Ma waved his hand and asked directly,""Did you catch a person called Xu Qingfeng yesterday?”
"Xu Qingfeng?" He muttered to himself and immediately shook his head.”
"Then take us to the prison!"
"Uh, alright!" Xia Dingwen wanted to refuse but did not dare to. He could only lead the way obediently.
When they arrived at the cell, they asked and found that Xu Qingfeng was really inside. The three of them were led by the prison guard to the door of Xu Qingfeng's cell. Seeing that he was eating happily inside, Xia Dingwen asked the prison guard in surprise,"Who caught him?"
"Someone reported that he killed three Japanese ronins, so Shou Squadron ordered people to arrest him!”the prison guard replied.
"Did he confess?" Secretary Ma asked.”
The prison guard shook his head." He said he didn't, and he didn't know any ronin. Shou Squadron let him be investigated here!”
At this moment, Xu Qingfeng turned his head and looked over. As he was not familiar with those people, he continued to eat his food.
Secretary Ma didn't want to waste any more time." Do you have any evidence to prove that he killed someone?"”
The prison guard shook his head." Someone just said that they saw it. There's no other evidence!"”
Secretary Ma's expression was cold." There's no evidence. You arrested him just because he said he saw it. Then, can I say that you abused your power to restore the throne?”
Attempting to restore the imperial system was a serious crime. The prison guard's legs went weak. Cold sweat broke out on Xia Dingwen's forehead. He kicked him to open the door, but the prison guard did not dare to delay.
