This is the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Qing Kingdom.

There are few in the world who can compare to him.

Who are you?

Qi Yuan took out a token from his pocket. "I am a member of the Imperial Guard of the capital, escorting the relatives of the Minister of Revenue through this place."

No one dares to forge this token.

He did not give his name.

However, in the Qing Kingdom, the soldiers of the local militia were inferior to the garrison troops, and the garrison troops were inferior to the imperial guards.

This "low" doesn't refer to anything else, but rather to official rank.

The Imperial Guards were not numerous, but any one of them was of a higher rank than a county magistrate.

The county magistrate was taken aback, then immediately stood up and bowed to Qi Yuan.

"grown ups."

The clerk next to him turned pale instantly.

Jiao Baiqiu was also taken aback. The people staying at his house were actually relatives of the Imperial Guards and the Minister of Revenue!

The county magistrate made way for him, and Qi Yuan sat down without any hesitation.

Looking at the crowd below who were still in a daze.

"I'll ask again."

Where were you last night?

"You'd better tell the truth, you can't withstand the torture methods of the Imperial Guards."

"If you're lying, humph!"

A flicker of panic crossed the gray-clad man's eyes.

He denied it through gritted teeth, saying, "This humble one had dinner at Cuiweilou last night."

"The manager of Cuiweilou can testify to this."

The name Cuiwei Tower was revealed.

The advisor resignedly closed his eyes, then opened them again, looking at the gray-clad man on the ground as if he were a dead man.

At this moment, Qi Yuan threw what he was holding onto the ground with a clatter.

A dagger fell out of the cloth.

There were still some bloodstains on it.

This is what my attendant just reported.

The Imperial Guards were numerous and quick, leaving behind only some ordinary daily necessities.

They had already collected everything that needed to be collected before the officers and soldiers arrived.

After the officers and soldiers left, they were released back.

But then one of the Imperial Guards discovered that there was a bloodstained dagger in Lieyan's ration bag.

This definitely isn't from the team.

Besides, flames are so precious.

They are all served by dedicated staff.

Who would dare put this thing in the Flame Rations?

So he immediately took the dagger and went to find Qi Yuan.

In addition, Murong Yue smelled the scent of human blood and identified the suspect.
