Chapter 111
111 Xu cijiu, I must save big brother no matter what (1)
After they left, Yang Yan frowned and sat by the table. He took the tea that Wei Yuan handed him and didn’t take a sip for a long time.
Nangong qianrou rolled her eyes and asked on his behalf, “”Foster father, are we really going to kill that brat?”
Yang Yan immediately looked at Wei Yuan.
“Is there anything wrong with my punishment?” Wei Yuan asked.
Nangong qianrou and Yang Yan shook their heads at the same time. The former smiled and said, “”That’s right, but can foster father bear to kill him?”
I’ve said before that he’s a natural fighter, ” Wei Yuan said as he sipped his tea. that spirit is rare.
He was able to severely injure the spirit forging stage silver Gong with one strike. How long had he been in the Qi refining stage?
Wei Yuan’s smile was filled with admiration and satisfaction.
…..
Spring breeze Hall.
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were dejected as they followed Li Yuchun back. Brother Chun was extremely silent on the way back.
He had been waiting downstairs for the results of the investigation, and then he received the news that Xu Qi ‘an would be beheaded in seven days.
Li Yuchun didn’t say a word and returned with two of his men.
drink with me for a while. I know you two have a secret stash, so I’ll drink it secretly while I’m on duty.
There was no emotion in Li Yuchun’s voice. It was frighteningly calm.
Song tingfeng opened his mouth and spat out two words, “”Alright,” he said.
Li Yuchun was an old-fashioned and stubborn person. Those who were familiar with him said that he stuck to the rules, while those who were not familiar with him laughed at him for not being flexible.
But no matter whether they were familiar with him or not, no one in the Yamen really looked down on him. On the contrary, they all admired him, even though they would not say it.
Li Yuchun’s inflexibility could be seen in all aspects, such as the fact that he never drank alcohol when he was on duty.
Song tingfeng took out the wine he had hidden from the side hall. There were three porcelain bowls, one of which was originally Xu Qi ‘an’s.
Li Yuchun did not drink quickly, but he kept drinking without saying a word.
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao drank with him in silence.
The jar of wine was quickly finished. Li Yuchun said, “”I know Duke Wei’s difficulties. Xu Qi ‘an was indeed wrong.
“So what if I humiliate a female prisoner? the crime doesn’t warrant death. That idiot almost chopped someone to death, and he even chopped a silver Gong.”
“What can Duke Wei do? Even if his aptitude … It’s better. The matter has blown up so much that the entire Yamen is watching. Are you openly biased? Where would Duke Wei’s prestige be then?
Li Yuchun started to talk as he went on and on, “”I thought I was stupid enough, but I didn’t expect this guy to be even stupider than me. If I had known, I wouldn’t have accepted him.
“What can Duke Wei do? Even if his aptitude … It’s better. The matter has blown up so much that the entire Yamen is watching. Are you openly biased? Where would Duke Wei’s prestige be then? It took years to build up a reputation, but it only took an instant to destroy it. If he sided with Xu Qi ‘an, who would submit to Lord Wei in the future?
“Alright, now one is dismissed and the other is cut in half. We’ll deal with this fairly, hehe.
for a long time to come, the people in the Yamen will behave themselves. Xu Qi ‘an’s death was well-deserved. It was worth it.
Li Yuchun returned the bowl to song tingfeng and scolded, “”What broken bowl? the blue and white flowers are asymmetrical.”
Song tingfeng took a closer look and realized that he had been drinking from the bowl for more than half a year, and the blue and white flowers on the bowl were really asymmetrical.
After the wine was finished, he was not in the mood to continue chatting. He and Zhu guangxiao returned to the side hall without a word.
In the quiet spring breeze Hall, Li Yuchun sat there for a long time before he slowly got up and walked to a corner. He picked up a feather duster and wiped every spot in the hall that was prone to dust.
He repeatedly arranged the books, vases, tables, and chairs so that they were neat and symmetrical.
Then, he took off his waist tag and saber, as well as the night watchman’s uniform.
Li Yuchun folded his uniform neatly and placed his saber and waist tag on it. He then walked out of spring breeze Hall with them in his hands.
He walked all the way to the noble spirit building.
Along the way, he attracted the attention of many gongs, who pointed at him and whispered to each other.
Among these people, some had heard about Xu Qi ‘an killing Zhu chengzhu, while others knew nothing about it and were curious.
“What’s going on?”
didn’t you hear? Zhu yinluo was almost cut down by a Gong. The person who cut him was Xu Qi ‘an, li yinluo’s subordinate.
“What does li yinluo want to do?”
“I don’t know. Let’s follow them and see.”
Three, five, seven, eight … The number of night watchmen behind Li Yuchun gradually increased, forming a rather large crowd.
All the way to the noble Qi building.
Li Yuchun stopped in his tracks under the Guard’s alert and warning gaze. He held his uniform, waist tag, and saber with both hands and turned a blind eye to the people following him.
“I’m Li Yuchun. Yuanjing joined the Yamen 20 years ago and has always been dutiful and responsible. With the belief of purging corrupt officials and serving the country as our goal.” Li Yuchun’s voice was loud and clear.
“For the past 16 years, I’ve been conscientious and never maligned or broken the law.He had never accepted bribes, and he had never bullied the good. He had thought that his passion could be exchanged for a clear sky.
“However, in the past sixteen years, I’ve witnessed many of my colleagues oppress the common people and extort merchants. Every time they raided a house, they would definitely take money and rape the women of the officials.
“If the heart can’t enforce the law, then how can one be righteous if one isn’t righteous? Today, Li Yuchun couldn’t bear to see me like this, so he resigned and left. You can still kill me. ”
After saying the last sentence, he threw his uniform, saber, and waist token on the ground and threw them away under the dumbfounded eyes of the Watchmen.
Li Yuchun, who had slapped Wei Yuan’s face in front of everyone at the noble spirit Pavilion, turned around and left. None of the dozens of night watchmen stopped him or made a sound.
“This … Should we stop them?” Someone asked in a low voice.
The night watchmen around him stared at him coldly.
…..
Xu Qi ‘an, who was wearing a prisoner’s uniform, was sitting in the prison of the watchman’s Yamen. He leaned against the wall and sniffed the unique damp and rancid smell of the prison cell.
I’ve been to the palace for the third time. I was a police officer in my past life, and now I’m a frequent visitor to prison. Xu Qi ‘an laughed at himself and sighed at the fickleness of fate.
The cell was silent. Occasionally, the prisoner next door would curse, but most people usually kept silent.
Most of the prisoners here were death row criminals, disheartened. In the beginning, he would still cry out for injustice and curse, but after being brought out for a friendly conversation by the prison guards, he knew how to behave.
She also understood the principle of keeping quiet in public.
No one wanted to suffer inhumane torture before they died.
Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and thought about whether he still had a chance to live.
“The great Confucians of the Yun Lu Academy might come and cause a ruckus, but they’re just nobodies without any officials, so it won’t work if they go through the official channels. Physics doesn’t work either. After all, this is the Yamen where the night watchmen are.”
“The sorcerers of the Imperial astronomer would definitely try to save me, but unless the supervisor comes forward, they won’t be able to save me. And my status is not high enough for a supervisor to make an appearance … Xu Qi ‘an, have you forgotten the coldness of society after you’ve tasted the warmth of Fu Xiang? You’ve dragged on for two months and still haven’t managed to hook Yan Caiwei into bed.”
the fragments of the Book of the Netherworld have also been taken away. Otherwise, I could have tried to get number one to save me. I don’t know if he or she has enough status …
As he thought about it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the cell was silent, and it was dark outside the small window.
Sleep made up for the physical strength he had used to execute the heaven and earth One blade slash, but the price was hunger.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp in the passage, Xu Qi ‘an saw a bowl of white rice beside the fence. Two fat rats were eating it with great relish.
“F * ck, you f * cking Schuck beta, you’re stealing my food.”
Xu Qi ‘an cursed.
Without food, he could only sit cross-legged and meditate, exhaling Qi.
After an unknown amount of time, the sun rose.
The sound of footsteps came from the dark passage. Two jailers walked over and opened the door of the cell.
Xu Qi ‘an opened his eyes.
“Come out.” The jailer shouted.
Xu Qi ‘an, who was in handcuffs and shackles, was brought to the interrogation room by the jailer.
Rays of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the wall, driving away the darkness of the interrogation room, but not the coldness.
Two young men were sitting at the interrogation table. One of them had Phoenix eyes, willowy eyebrows, and exquisite facial features. The other man had red lips and white teeth, and he was extremely handsome.
Two rabbits walking on the ground, an can tell if I’m male or female.
Nangong qianrou sneered, ”
He didn’t like this scholar’s attitude. From the moment he entered the Yamen to this place, he had always held his head high and chest out. He didn’t look at people with his eyes, but with his nose.
This kind of arrogance was extremely annoying for no reason. He had the same conduct as the other scholars in Yun Lu Academy, and the same conduct as the white-robed man from the Directorate of celestial.
Xu niannian glanced at him and said, “”Only women and villains are difficult to raise.”
“Who are you calling a woman?” Nangong Qian smiled gently as a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
“I was too rude.” “May I know your name, miss?” Xu niannian cupped his hands and bowed.
“….”Nangong qianrou felt like killing someone.
Xu niannian, who had maxed out his vicious tongue skill, sneered and raised his head again.
Xu Qi ‘an, who saw this scene from the door and heard the conversation between the two, broke out in a cold sweat for his little brother.
He thought to himself,’farewell, this beauty is a high-ranked martial artist. You’re just a rank-8 little scholar, you need to know when to yield and when not to.’
Nangong qianrou tilted her head and glared at Xu Qi ‘an. She stood up and said, “”The time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
He left after he finished speaking.
Xu niannian stared at his cousin in silence.
why are you here to bid farewell? aren’t you studying in the Academy? ” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“Last night, one of your colleagues came to the residence to deliver a letter and told you what happened. Father left the capital last night and rushed to Yun Lu Academy to inform me. ” Xu niannian let out a breath of air.
“I went back to my residence last night and only came in when the inner city gate opened at dawn.”
He had received a letter from his teacher and was a high scholar, so he was allowed to visit.
“Everyone in the family was worried about you. Mother didn’t sleep the entire night.” Xu niannian said.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
lingying was worried about you too. She only had a bowl of porridge this morning.
“It’s been hard on her.” Xu Qi ‘an was touched.
Xu niannian nodded and agreed with his cousin’s opinion. He continued, “”Teacher’s suggestion was for me to beg the eldest Princess. She might be able to save you. As for the teachers … Wei Yuan doesn’t have a good relationship with the Academy.”
farewell? ” Xu Qi ‘an hesitated. don’t you blame big brother? ”
big brother is not skilled enough, ” Xu niannian said in a deep voice. I can’t believe he didn’t kill that bastard.
Xu Qi ‘an laughed,”that’s what a scholar is …” As he laughed, he fell silent and said softly, “”I’m sorry,” she said.
Xu niannian was silent.
The interrogation room quieted down, and the brothers did not speak.
“I’ll get you out,” he sighed after a long time.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and pretended not to be touched. “Since you’re here, help big brother do something. Did you bring any silver with you?”
“Naturally, I did.” Xu niannian replied.
What prison visit without money?
“En, you went to look for the prison head and said that you wanted to retrieve one of my items, if it was still there. It’s a small Jade Mirror. Take the mirror and go to the health Hall in the East City to find a monk.Tell him that number three was locked up in the night watchman’s dungeon and was asking for help. Xu Qian!”
After the fragment of the Book of the Earth recognized its master, others could not log in to chat, so they needed to send a letter on the sixth.
He believed that once smart number one saw the letter, he would know what to do. That was because in The Earth Book chat group, the only one who had power in Beijing was number one.
Number one still owed him a debt.
Of course, number one might not help him, but that was another matter.
In addition, Xu Qi ‘an had asked Xu Erlang to retrieve the fragment of the book of the nether world as a test for Wei Yuan.
To test if he really had the intention to kill him.
Xu niannian stared at him for a moment and asked, “”What if there isn’t?”
“Then forget it.”
After watching his cousin being taken into the dark passage, Xu niannian left the interrogation room and found the jailer. He handed over 30 silver notes and said, “”I need to retrieve an item from my cousin.”
Of course, the prison head had no objections. Everything was easy with money.
He immediately led Xu niannian to the warehouse and took out a package, which contained the things that Xu Qi ‘an had taken from him.
“You can’t take the gong, waist token, saber, and uniform with you.” The prison head said.
These were the things of the night watchman.
Xu nianxin fumbled around and found a small mirror made of Jade. The faint patterns on the mirror formed strange patterns such as bows and silver notes.
