Chapter 22 Unlocking new skills

Chapter 22: Unlocking New Skills

Ye Xuan was in a good mood as he looked at the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and various rare treasures on the table.

However, he didn't care about these things. After all, no matter how good the gold and silver were, they would be confiscated. The system reward was the most important.

next moment.

The system voice sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill - Concentrate. It allows you to maintain maximum concentration in harsh environments without being affected by the outside world."

This skill is not bad!

You know, handling cases inevitably requires staying up late and working in the rain and wind, so it is very difficult to stay focused.

However, the truth is often lost in these inadvertent moments, so it is very necessary to concentrate.

Ye Xuan nodded to show his satisfaction. This was much better than many of the skills in the system space. At least it could improve efficiency and was considered professional.

"Master, look!"

Song Zhenshan suddenly exclaimed, pointing at something on the ground.

It turned out to be a gold-inlaid jade ring, which was very dazzling in its golden color.

Ye Xuan squatted down, picked up the gold-inlaid jade ring and examined it for a while, then looked up and said to Song Zhenshan:
"Look at these salt merchants. Any ring they own is worth our annual salary."

"My lord is right!"

Song Zhenshan laughed and quickly sent the Jinyiwei to pack up all the stolen goods and put them into boxes. He then had them send them to the capital for His Majesty to deal with.

After coming out of the mansion where the property was confiscated, the Jinyiwei marched forward in a mighty procession. When the common people along the way saw this group of ferocious-looking men, they all took detours to avoid them, for fear of provoking them and ending up like Deng Hu and the others.

Ye Xuan rode on his horse with his eyes closed, but his mind was immersed in his thoughts.

There were twenty-one main criminals and twenty mansions, which amounted to more than five thousand taels of silver. Perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered, these people thought they had converted all of it into food and antiques.

Who knew that everything would be gone in a flash!

The so-called wealth and glory is nothing but licking blood on the tip of a knife. A slight negligence will lead to eternal damnation.

Ye Xuan shook his head: "Being greedy is the result of your own actions, you can't blame others."

……

The Jinyiwei acted quickly and all the stolen goods and criminals were counted at night. Taking advantage of the cool night, Ye Xuan ordered his troops to return to Beijing.

Their team was not moving fast, it could even be said to be slow. After all, there was still enough time left, which was more than enough for them to return to the capital.

Along the way, we encountered checkpoints set up by officials. Those officials wanted to extort some money, but when they saw that we were from the Imperial Guards, they just asked a few symbolic questions and let us go immediately.

Of course they knew the Jinyiwei. After all, it was the top agency in the capital. They were high and mighty on weekdays and no one dared to offend them. Any official had to be respectful when they saw them.

This saves a lot of trouble.

After a long journey, Ye Xuan's team finally returned to Beijing.

As soon as they returned to Beijing, they attracted attention from all sides, but the people who liked to watch the fun the most were the common people. Although they did not dare to watch boldly, they could not help pointing and criticizing.

After all, a centurion solved such a murder case and brought back so much gold, silver, and grain that it took more than a dozen carriages to load it all. It is hard not to let people imagine.

Ye Xuan on the horse looked at the three big words "Zhenfusi" and felt infinitely relieved.

"Song Zhenshan, take the criminal to the prison for handover. Don't make any mistakes!"

"Wang Feihu, send the confiscated money, grain and jewelry to the backyard. Remember to assign more people to watch over them. Don't leave anything out."

"The rest of you should do your job. The case is not over yet. Don't neglect your duties."

Everyone agreed and left.

Ye Xuan strode into the Pacification Office alone, passed through the spacious lobby, and then walked into a quiet courtyard. Just when he was halfway there, Captain Wei Qingming came out to greet him with a smile.

"Ye Xuan, well done, you did a great job this time!" Wei Qingming patted him on the shoulder and praised.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "My Lord, it's just luck."

Wei Qingming laughed and said, "You don't have to be modest, if it were any other centurion, it would probably be impossible for them to solve the case as quickly as you do."

"This is all due to the adults' good teaching."

Ye Xuan began to flatter Wei Qingming, who was very pleased to hear it. With a smile on his face, he took Ye Xuan's arm and walked towards the backyard.

"You are a lucky general. Since you came to the Pacification Division, the reputation of the Jinyiwei has become even more famous."

Wei Qingming said as if it was a matter of fact.

"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary!"

Ye Xuan quickly denied it. He naturally wouldn't take it seriously. He was just a centurion who was ordered to investigate the case.

"You have performed a great deed this time. I will report this to the commander-in-chief and give you a credit."

Wei Qingming said with a solemn vow.

Ye Xuan agreed with a smile, but he was secretly complaining in his heart that he was just making empty promises again.

But once this matter is settled, he really needs to take a good rest.

"Master Qianhu, this is the case file of Zhou Pu's murder. I have recorded the details in the book. Please check it."

Ye Xuan handed Wei Qingming a stack of documents.

Wei Qingming nodded and flipped through the files.

As expected of a thousand households, Wei Qingming flipped through the documents very quickly. He finished reading them in just a cup of tea. After closing the file, Wei Qingming said to Ye Xuan:

"You did a great job. The entire case was handled flawlessly. If you hadn't noticed it early, I'm sure we would have been deceived."

“This is also a fluke!”

Ye Xuan said modestly.

"Okay, I will report this case now. You can take these two days to rest and recuperate. You will be busy in a few days."

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.

Wei Qingming left with the file. The court attached great importance to this case and it must be submitted to the higher authorities for review as soon as possible.

Ye Xuan looked at Wei Qingming's back disappearing in the distance, secretly feeling relieved.

The running around and intense work in the past few days have made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. He needs some time to rest to restore his physical and mental strength.

Leaving the serious and solemn Zhenfusi, Ye Xuan felt comfortable and happy. The case was over.

As for the illegal salt trafficking and the network of relationships behind Qingquan County, that was not something he should consider. He had already done his best.

What I should think about now is how to relax. After much thought, I think the best way is to go to a brothel, listen to music and cultivate my sentiments.

After all, killing people and ransacking houses will make people tired, and the land of gentleness is the best harbor.

Ye Xuan immediately decided on the destination - Qunfangyuan.

It’s been a long time since I went there for an “inspection”. What if there are safety hazards?

With Ye Xuan doing this self-PUA, his legs were very obedient and he arrived at the entrance of Qunfangyuan.

When Ye Xuan arrived, he saw the entrance of the brothel was crowded with people. It was an unprecedented scene with beautiful girls and fragrant scents.

The madam of the courtyard was very perceptive. She recognized at a glance that this was Ye Baihu, who was in the limelight in the capital, and immediately entertained him warmly:

"Oh, sir, it's you. What brings you here today? Come in, come in. There are a lot of pretty girls coming here recently."
