Chapter 46: Visitors from the Inspection Institute (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Inside the yard.

Qin Feng looked around the yard as if he were the owner of the house. Finally, he saw a man sitting on a chair. He was a little suspicious. Was this guy from the Inspection Institute?
In Qin Feng's impression, the people in the Inspection Institute are all dignified, serious-looking, and have a serious image of being loyal to the country.

These people, similar to the Jinyiwei, are the emperor's minions.

Perhaps because Ye Qingmei had been dead for more than ten years, some of them had become slightly corrupted, but they would not show it on the surface.

But the person in front of Qin Feng now looked like an official who was trying to get something for free.

Is it because the emperor is far away? The Inspection Bureau in Jiangnan is so rotten that they don't even bother to hide it?

It’s true, Qin Feng guessed right.

The Inspection Institute is too large and has now become the most powerful force in Qing Kingdom.

The inspection offices in Kyoto and other big cities are okay.

Because there are many powerful people in those places, the Inspection Bureau also has concerns about what it does.

But in some small places, it’s different. The Inspection Bureau does things very casually, and there is no one to supervise anything.

In other words, no one dares to supervise them.

Generally speaking, the detectives of the Inspection Bureau go out to do business in teams of two, so that they can look after each other and handle problems better if they arise.

There were indeed two spies who came to Pingchuan County, a small place, to carry out the mission, but they acted separately.

And they were wearing plain clothes, the reason was simple, they just wanted to make some money.

"Qin Feng, right? Your incident has been exposed!"

The name of the secret agent from the Inspection Institute was He Youde. As soon as he sat down on the chair, he said in a deep voice.

This is his usual tactic. No matter if something is wrong or not, he would first say that something is wrong with the other party to create psychological pressure.

"I am a good citizen and have never done anything that is against the will of heaven or the law. Your Excellency, please see clearly!"

Although these words were spoken in a humble voice, there was no trace of panic on Qin Feng's face.

He has to figure out the purpose of the person first. Only then can he counter his moves!
"How dare you! You joined Chaoyang Martial Arts School, colluded with Northern Qi spies, and sold out information about Qing Kingdom. Why don't you tell the truth?"

He Youde stood up, pointed at Qin Feng, and shouted in a low voice, as if he had already found evidence against Qin Feng.

He was sent to Pingchuan County this time to investigate a matter.

To be precise, it is the follow-up to a case.

During the Wenhui case, they arrested Northern Qi spies and eventually found Liao Zhen's charred body in a reed field.

The follow-up to the Wenhui case is to investigate the situation at Chaoyang Martial Arts School to see if there are any accomplices of the Northern Qi spies.

But nothing was found out at that time, and Qin Feng did not tell the people in the martial arts gym where he lived, so no one came to look for him.

After all, he was just an apprentice who had just joined the martial arts school not long ago. He would leave soon and no one cared about such a small person.

After the Inspection Bureau conducted an investigation, it withdrew its team and left.

But not long after, Chaoyang Martial Arts School was burned down by fire.

The Inspection Institute suspected that it was the work of Northern Qi spies, so they sent people to investigate the situation again, and He Youde was sent here.

This mission is to check for gaps and fill in the gaps. It is a small task, so just send two people over.

"Your Excellency, I am being unjustified. How could I possibly collude with a Northern Qi spy? I don't even know who that person is!"

At this moment, Qin Feng looked panicked on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.

I finally found out why the other party came here. It was because of the Chaoyang Martial Arts School.

If it was something about the literary society, it would be difficult for him to explain, but the Chaoyang Martial Arts School had nothing to do with him. "Whether it is true or not, we will know after a search!"

He Youde stood up and looked at the house behind him.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this mission was just a formality. If there really were spies from Northern Qi, they would have run away by now and would not have been able to stay there.

The reason why he threatened with words was to put tremendous pressure on the other party and make him panic and afraid.

This way, when he searches the house later and finds something valuable, it will be much easier for him to take it away as "evidence" of communication with Northern Qi.

If this guy is sensible and takes out the money when he goes in later, he won't be too embarrassed and will leave early.

Robbery?

That’s right, he was robbing!
As for the other party reporting to the police?

What is his identity? What is Qin Feng's identity? It's useless to report to the police. No one will believe Qin Feng.

Besides, isn't the reason he's in plain clothes to avoid trouble?

How to report to the police when the other party doesn’t even know his name?
"Sir, this is against the rules, isn't it? Even if you are from the Inspection Bureau, you are not allowed to search private houses at will without a search warrant!"

How could Qin Feng sit still when he heard He Youde say he wanted to search the house?
There was not only money in his house, but also poison, crossbows, longbows, weapons and the like.

If these things were seen by the people from the Inspection Institute, wouldn't he be a secret agent of Northern Qi?
How could he explain it?

A man who was an ordinary farmer more than three months ago, suddenly became a skilled doctor, had a lot of money, was good at martial arts, and had hidden weapons and poisons.

Anyone who sees this will find it abnormal!
Even if Qin Feng explained again, it would be in vain.

This is like yellow mud falling down your crotch, it's shit if not shit.

So when faced with this person's request to search, Qin Feng would never agree!
"Rules? My rules are the rules!"

He Youde didn't expect that Qin Feng, a small nobody, would dare to offend his authority, and he became angry and embarrassed.

He stood up, stared into Qin Feng's eyes and said coldly: "You don't dare to let me search? Then you must be a spy from Northern Qi!"

"We in the Inspection Office can kill any Northern Qi spy without any need to report it!"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on his sword.

What He Youde said was indeed correct, but if no evidence was found afterwards, he would be guilty of intentional homicide and would be punished.

So at this time, He Youde was mostly trying to scare people and had no intention of killing anyone.

But Qin Feng doesn't think so.

In his eyes, this guy was a bit aggressive from the moment he knocked on the door, and he started to put a big accusation on him right from the start without any intention of investigating.

The other party didn't listen to his explanation at all, and this guy didn't look like someone from the Inspection Bureau.

Qin Feng was already a little annoyed. He slowly raised his right hand, with the arrow in his sleeve ready to be fired.

His left hand also held a packet of poison, ready to take action at any time.

Qin Feng could see that this man had martial arts skills, but he couldn't tell what his specific strength was.

If the other party really wants to attack, Qin Feng will not care that the other party is from the Inspection Institute, he will definitely kill him!
Just as the two men were drawing their swords, footsteps were heard outside Qin Feng's yard, followed by someone knocking on the door.

"Doctor Xiao Qin! Doctor Xiao Qin!"

Liu Yehui's voice came over.
