Chapter 893: Chapter 559: Secret Code_2

What does this person mean?

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan felt slightly puzzled, leaned forward slightly, and glanced at what the other party was writing, then unconsciously raised his eyebrows slightly.

This Mr. Huang unexpectedly took the liberty to fabricate his false name, place of origin, and background all by himself.

Does he receive such good treatment as a relation?

Not even asking for a surname, just offering one-stop service directly to your home?

Mr. Huang writes very fast, obviously proficient with this type of official document, and in a short moment, he had already penned down more than a hundred characters.

Documents in Dayan are written vertically, from left to right. When Xu Yuan looked at the seventh column, his gaze involuntarily changed.

Due to inertia from his previous life, even after so much time, he still habitually reads documents horizontally with a glance.

And this glance, let him see a familiar yet strange hidden name.

Tang Weijun.

The Little Heavenly Master of Heavenly Master Mansion, Xu Changge’s lover.

Is this a coincidence?

A strange feeling spread in his heart, yet doubts still lingered, but the next glance downward completely dispelled Xu Yuan’s doubts.

Because on the very last misaligned line written by Tang Weijun, it also correspondingly had three characters— Little Heavenly Master.

And,

Someone.

After a mental crash for an instant, his mind quickly rebooted and began to operate.

Thousands of thoughts began to converge and organize in his mind.

Xu Changge’s relationship with Tang Weijun was extremely secretive, if it weren’t for him actively revealing it at the beginning, even his own father would have thought his eldest son would remain single for life.

That being said...

Was this righteous-looking Mr. Huang really the lapdog of that "traitor to the nation" from his home?

The previously trusting gaze of the female constable with a ponytail unconsciously surfaced in Xu Yuan’s mind, he restrained himself from laughing, but a twisted joy was already crawling into his heart.

Although he had confirmed the other party’s identity, Xu Yuan still did not act rashly.

Xu Mengxi had mentioned before that this Mr. Huang was brought up by the Chief of the Secret Investigation Bureau along with her, and his identity within the Secret Investigation Department should be very high.

Moreover, using the name Tang Weijun as a code, it was most likely personally arranged by Xu Changge or his father.

Thinking up to here, a question arose in Xu Yuan’s mind.

Huaijiu Alley was far from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and conveying information needed time; he had just arrived at the Secret Investigation Department, and this person had already come looking for him, which was a bit too fast.

According to the timeline, unless the moment he unleashed his will-spirit, his family had already reacted and had contacted this internal agent embedded within the Secret Investigation Department.

With such a hastily made contact with such a level of internal support, what did his family want him to help this person with?

Looking at that ink running smoothly on the rice paper, Xu Yuan suddenly spoke softly:

"Mr. Huang, is this... also entrusted by Xu Mengxi?"

After a few breaths, the deep voice of Mr. Huang slowly sounded:

"Mr. Huang heard what the young master said, it seems there are some things inconvenient to reveal. Since the young master is Meng Xi’s benefactor, I should rightfully take this task. If the young master is willing to cooperate..."

Saying so, Mr. Huang directly tore off the half-written sheet of paper on the desk, and without waiting for Xu Yuan to reply, he ignited a flame in his hand and burned the sheet of paper.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand:

"Mr. Huang, you misunderstood. Since you are willing to write on my behalf, let’s go with the one you just wrote. It’s indeed inconvenient to reveal my identity."

Hearing this, Mr. Huang naturally began to write on a new piece of rice paper, the content similar to before, but the hidden name had already disappeared.

"Knock knock..."

Lightly tapping on the desk, Xu Yuan casually asked:

"Mr. Huang, you came here so quickly just now, did Governor Xu inform you ahead of time?"

Mr. Huang continued to write as he replied:

"Not at all, the action was initiated privately by her, but we have indeed started investigating this Qin Weishu quite early."

"Because he slaughtered officials from The Imperial Court?"

"Yes, he killed a County Magistrate, and we started our control measures when he entered the capital. It’s just a pity that the Xiancheng Pavilion did not issue an arrest warrant."

"I see..."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s doubts were also resolved.

The response of Mr. Huang was very official and seemed impeccable, but in fact, it couldn’t stand scrutiny.

Massacring an official is indeed a grave crime, but in these chaotic times, if the Secret Investigation Department were to make a big fuss over a Seventh Grade County Magistrate like Qin Weishu, even doubling their military preparedness wouldn’t be sufficient.

Thus, the "we" Mr. Huang mentioned should actually refer to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, not to the Secret Investigation Department.

The Black Scale Guards had been planning for a while...

However, what exactly prompted the high ranking official from the Secret Investigation Department to hastily make contact at this point in time within the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

Just as he pondered, Mr. Huang’s voice slowly came through, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anger:

"That Qin Weishu attacked Meng Xi on the street and even attempted to fatally strike her. Such brazen actions must have a particular reason, but this matter still requires further investigation."

Xu Yuan, leaning back in his chair, after a moment of contemplation, softly spoke:

"Could he have intended to get himself captured?"

Mr. Huang raised his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed, and with a sharp look, asked knowingly:

"Intentionally get captured?"

"Other than that, Mr. Huang, do you have any other explanations?"

Xu Yuan clasped his hands together, resting them on the desk, and pondered aloud, "Governor Xu is a known disciple of your chief; if she were severely injured or even killed, the Xiancheng Pavilion would have no grounds to cover for him, so he would surely be imprisoned.

"But it’s a pity we don’t know for what underlying matter he aimed to be jailed. Perhaps there are important people detained in your imperial prison?"

Mr. Huang thought for a moment, not responding about who was detained in the imperial prison, but instead murmured softly:

"The imperial prison is a heavily guarded place; how could a mere Integration Body cause any disturbance?"

With that, he looked up at Xu Yuan and asked quietly:

"Could Qin Weishu’s backing be... the Dao Charm?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan instantly understood the reason why Mr. Huang risked coming to him.

Qin Weishu held a high status, and once Mr. Huang involved himself in this case, it would be challenging to securely exchange information with the Prime Minister’s Mansion in the future. He needed to gather all the intelligence about Qin Weishu before then, but the second young master of the Qin Family from Jiangnan had always kept a low profile, akin to an ordinary wastrel, making it difficult to start an investigation.

Now, the only person who might have information was him, who had had a confrontation with Qin Weishu.

Choosing his words carefully, Xu Yuan softly said:

"His Dao Charm is related to the Slash Strike."

"Slash Strike?"

"A very powerful penetrating Slash Strike."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan casually stroked the Sumeru Ring under Mr. Huang’s watchful eyes.

The art of spatial manipulation...

Seeing this, Mr. Huang roughly understood and said solemnly:

"Given such formality from you, it seems this Dao Charm of Qin Weishu’s Slash Strike is indeed formidable."

After saying this, he gently placed down the brush and ink in his hands:

"Thank you for this information. Before leaving, would you like to visit Meng Xi?"

"The record is completed just like that?"

Xu Yuan asked with a chuckle, his fingertips still gently caressing the Sumeru Ring.

Mr. Huang’s eyes flickered slightly, somewhat puzzled, but he still said:

"It’s just the procedure, not too much of a hassle."

After a brief thought, Xu Yuan reached into the Sumeru Ring with his will-spirit and took out a box of precious rouge, placing it on the desk.

Mr. Huang squinted his eyes:

"Sir, are you..."

Xu Yuan slowly stood up and whispered:

"I’d rather not disturb Governor Xu during her interrogation. Please pass on this box of rouge to her as a meeting gift from me."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan gently chuckled: "It’s funny indeed; for someone of your chief’s high stature, he doesn’t think about equipping his disciple with a Sumeru Ring..."

Pausing for a moment, he chuckled softly:

"Well, the Sumeru Ring is quite rare indeed. I seemed to have noticed that Qin Weishu didn’t seem to have one, but I’m not sure."

Mr. Huang was slightly surprised inside, but his expression remained normal. He picked up the rouge from the desk and also stood up:

"Rest assured, sir, I will surely deliver this rouge for you."
