Nightwatcher

After the person left, Yang Yan frowned, sat by the desk, took the tea from Wei Yuan, and didn't take a sip for a long time.

Nangong Qianrou rolled her eyes and asked for him, "Father, are you really going to kill that kid?"

Yang Yan immediately looked at Wei Yuan.

"Is there anything wrong with my punishment?" Wei Yuan asked back.

Nangong Qian and Yang Yan shook their heads at the same time, the former smiled playfully: "Yes, yes, it's just that the adoptive father is willing to kill him?"

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "I once said that he is a born martial artist, and his spirit is rare."

How long has it been since he stepped into the Qi Cultivation Realm after slashing the silver gong in the God Refining Realm into serious injuries?

There was appreciation in Wei Yuan's smile, and even more satisfaction.

Spring Hall.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao followed Li Yuchun dejectedly back, but Brother Chun was extremely silent all the way.

He had waited downstairs, waiting for the result of the treatment, and he waited for the news that Xu Qi'an would be cut in half in seven days.

Without saying a word, Li Yuchun returned with two of his men.

"Accompany me for a drink. I know you two have something to hide, so drink it secretly when you are on duty."

There was no emotion in Li Yuchun's voice, it was calm and scary.

Song Tingfeng opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Okay."

Li Yuchun is an old-fashioned and paranoid person. Yin Luo, who is familiar with him, says that he sticks to the rules, and Yin Luo, who is not familiar with him, teases him for not being flexible.

But regardless of familiarity or unfamiliarity, no one in the Yamen really looked down on him. On the contrary, they all admired him, even though they couldn't say it.

Li Yuchun's rigidity is manifested in various aspects, such as never drinking alcohol when on duty.

Song Tingfeng fetched the wine he secretly hid from the side hall, three porcelain bowls, one of which originally belonged to Xu Qi'an.

Li Yuchun didn't drink very fast, but he kept drinking one bowl after another, without speaking during the period.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao accompanied the drink silently.

The jar of wine was quickly finished, and Li Yuchun said through the drunkenness: "I know Wei Gong has his difficulties, and Xu Qi'an did something wrong.

"What's the matter with insulting a female family member of a prisoner? It's not a crime to die. He almost hacked people to death, it was a silver gong."

Li Yuchun opened up the chatterbox, babbling: "I thought I was stupid enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be even stupider than me, I knew I wouldn't accept him, it's annoying.

"What can Duke Wei do? Even if he has better aptitude, the whole yamen is waiting and watching, so it's not possible to be openly partial? Then what is the prestige of Duke Wei? It takes years to build a reputation, but it only takes a moment to destroy it." Just about to favor Xu Qi'an, who will serve Duke Wei in the future?

"Okay, now one is dismissed, the other is cut in half, and it is dealt with impartially, hey, hey.

"For a long time to come, the people in the yamen will behave themselves, and Xu Qi'an's death is not wronged, it's worth it."

Li Yuchun returned the bowl to Song Tingfeng, scolding: "What kind of broken bowl, the blue and white are not symmetrical."

Song Tingfeng took a closer look, only to find that the bowl he had been drinking for more than half a year, the blue and white on the bowl was really asymmetrical.

After finishing the wine, he was not in the mood to continue chatting, so he and Zhu Guangxiao went back to the side hall in silence.

In the quiet Spring Breeze Hall, Li Yuchun sat for a long time, got up slowly, walked to the corner, picked up a feather duster, and wiped every place in the hall that was prone to dust accumulation.

Repeatedly arrange books, vases, tables and chairs to make them neat and symmetrical.

Then, he took off his belt badge and saber, and took off the watchman's uniform.

The uniforms were neatly folded, and the saber and waist badge were placed on them. Li Yuchun walked out of the Spring Breeze Hall holding them.

He walked all the way to Haoqi Building.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many gongs, pointing and whispering at him.

Among these people, some had heard about the deeds of Xu Qi'an beheading Zhu Chengzhu, while some were ignorant and curious.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you hear that Zhu Yinluo was almost chopped off by a copper gong, and the person who chopped him down was Xu Qi'an, Nong, Li Yinluo's subordinate."

"What does Li Yinluo want to do?"

"I don't know, follow up and have a look."

Three, five, seven or eight watchmen followed Li Yuchun gradually, forming a large crowd.

All the way to Haoqi Building.

Under the vigilant and warning eyes of the guards downstairs, Li Yuchun stopped. Holding his uniform, waist badge, and saber in both hands, he turned a blind eye to the followers behind him.

"Li Yuchun, a humble worker, Yuan Jing joined the yamen for 20 years, and has always abided by his duties and fulfilled his duties. With the belief in eradicating corrupt officials and serving the country as the goal." Li Yuchun's voice is loud and clear:

"In the past 16 years, I have worked hard and never violated the law; I never accepted bribes; I never oppressed kindness. I thought that blood would bring a clear sky.

"However, in the past sixteen years, I have witnessed many colleagues oppressing the people and blackmailing merchants. Every time they ransacked their homes, they would embezzle money, money, and property, and rape the wives of officials. It is unbearable.

"You can't enforce the law. If you are not righteous, how can you be righteous. Today Li Yuchun can't bear it anymore, so please resign and leave, and you can also kill me."

After saying the last sentence, he threw his uniform, saber, and waist badge on the ground with the stunned eyes of the guards around him, and discarded them like shoes.

Li Yuchun, who had slapped Wei Yuan in public in the Haoqi Tower, turned and left. The dozens of watchmen were not stopped, and no one made a sound.

"Should we stop this?" Someone asked in a low voice.

The watchmen around him stared at him coldly.

Xu Qi'an, who was wearing a prison uniform, sat in the prison of the prisoner's yamen, with his back against the wall, smelling the unique damp and rotten smell in the prison.

"The third time I entered the palace, I was a policeman in my previous life, but I have become a frequent visitor to the cell in this life." Xu Qi'an laughed at himself and sighed with emotion that fate is unpredictable.

There was silence in the cell, with occasional scolding from the inmates next door, and most of them usually remained silent.

Most of the prisoners held here are death row inmates, and they are disheartened. At the beginning, I would shout injustice and scold my mother, but after being taken out by the jailer guarding the cell for a friendly conversation, I knew how to behave.

I also understand the truth of keeping quiet in public places.

No one wants to be tortured inhumanely before death.

Xu Qi'an closed his eyes, thinking whether he still had a chance to survive.

"The Confucian scholars of Yunlu Academy may come to make a fuss, but they have no official status, and it won't work to be an official. The same won't work with physics, after all, this is a yamen for thugs."

"The magician of Si Tianjian will definitely try to save me, but unless the supervisor comes forward, he can't save me. And let the dignified supervisor come forward, my identity is not enough Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, you can taste the warmth from Fuxiang, Have you forgotten the coldness of society? It has been two months and I still haven't hooked up Chu Caiwei to bed."

"The fragments of the book from the ground have also been searched, otherwise I can try to get No. 1 to save me, I don't know if his (her) position is enough"

After thinking about it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the cell was silent, and there was a deep night outside the small window.

Sleep made up for the physical strength he lost in performing "Sword of Heaven and Earth", at the cost of hunger.

By the dim oil lamp in the passage, Xu Qi'an saw a bowl of white rice placed beside the fence, and two fat mice with big ears were eating with relish.

"Fuck, Shu Kebeta, the shit, steal my meal."

Xu Qi'an cursed angrily.

I didn't have anything to eat, so I had to sit cross-legged and meditate, exhaling Qi.

I don't know how long it took, but it was dawn.

Footsteps came from the dark passage, and two jailers came over and opened the door of the cell.

Xu Qi'an opened his eyes.

"Come out," the jailer shouted.

Xu Qi'an, who was handcuffed and fettered, was taken to the torture room by the jailer.

Bunches of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the wall, dispelling the darkness of the torture room, but they could not dispel the chill here.

At the interrogation table in the torture room, sat two young men. One person has red phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and exquisite facial features. The other person has red lips and white teeth, and is extremely handsome.

The two rabbits walked side by side, and An Neng could tell whether I was male or female.

Nangong Qianrou sneered, "Great-faced noodles."

He didn't like the attitude of this scholar very much. Since he entered the yamen and came here, he has always held his head high and his chest upright. He doesn't judge people with his eyes, but with his nose.

This kind of arrogance is disgusting for no reason. It has the same virtue as other scholars in Yunlu Academy, and the same virtue as Si Tianjian's white clothes.

Xu Nian glanced at him sideways, and said calmly, "Only women and villains are hard to raise."

"Who do you say is a woman?" Nangong Qianrou smiled, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes.

"I'm being rude." Xu Xinnian cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"" Nangong Qianrou wanted to kill someone.

Xu Niannian sneered, with his poisonous tongue skills full, and raised his head again.

Seeing this scene at the door and hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Qi'an broke into a cold sweat for his little brother.

Saying farewell to the old, this great beauty is a high-grade martial artist, you are a little scholar of the eighth rank, you must know how to bend and stretch.

Nangong Qianrou turned her head, glared at Xu Qi'an, stood up and said, "It's time for a stick of incense."

After speaking, he left.

Xu Nian stared at his cousin and remained silent.

"Why did you bid farewell to the old days? Aren't you studying in an academy?" Xu Qi'an said.

"One of your colleagues sent a letter to the government last night, telling you what happened. My father left the capital overnight and rushed to Yunlu Academy to inform me." Xu Xinnian let out a bad breath:

"I went back to my residence last night. I didn't come in until dawn and the gates of the inner city opened."

He took the teacher's letter, and he was a juren, only to learn that he was allowed to visit the prison.

"Everyone in the family is very worried about you, and my mother didn't sleep all night." Xu Nian said.

Xu Qi'an nodded.

"Lingyin is also very worried about you. She only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning."

"It's hard for her." Xu Qi'an was moved.

Xu Nian nodded, agreed with his cousin, and continued: "The teacher's suggestion is to ask me to ask the eldest princess, she may be able to save you. As for the teacher, Wei Yuan and the academy don't have a good relationship."

Xu Qi'an hesitated and said: "Farewell, don't you blame big brother?"

Xu Nian said in a deep voice, "Brother is not good at learning, but he didn't kill that bastard."

Xu Qi'an laughed loudly: "This is a scholar." With a smile, he fell silent, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Xu New Year was silent.

The torture room fell silent, and neither of the brothers spoke.

After a long time, Xu Cijiu sighed: "I will rescue you."

Xu Qi'an nodded, pretending not to be moved, and said, "Since you're here, I'll do one thing for elder brother. Have you brought any money with you when you bid farewell?"

"Naturally." Xu Nian replied.

What kind of prison did you visit without money?

"Well, go to the head of the prison and say that you want to get back one of my items, if it is still there. It is a small jade mirror. You take the mirror and go to the Yangshengtang in Dongcheng to find a monk and tell him : Ask him to send a message that No. 3 is being imprisoned in the dungeon, please help. Xu Qi'an!"

After the fragments of the book from the ground recognize the owner, others will not be able to log in to chat, so the sixth pass is needed.

I believe that the smart one will know what to do when he sees the biography. Because in the Dishu chat group, in the capital, there is only number one who has power.

One still owes him a debt.

Of course, Number One might die, but that's another story.

In addition, asking Xu Erlang to take the fragments of the land book was Xu Qi'an's temptation to Wei Yuan.

To test whether he really wanted to kill himself.

Xu Nian stared at him for a moment, then asked, "What if not?"

"That's all."

Seeing his cousin being taken into the dark passage, Xu Xinnian left the torture room, found the head of the prison, and handed over the thirty-two silver ticket in a dignified manner, saying, "I need to get back one of my cousin's items."

Of course the head of the prison has no objection, everything is easy to do if you have money.

Immediately led Xu Nian to the warehouse, and took out a package, which contained the things that Xu Qi'an had picked off.

"The gongs, belt badges, sabers, and uniforms cannot be taken away," said the head of the prison.

These are the things that beat the watchman's yamen.

Xu Nian fumbled briefly, and found a small mirror, made of jade, with shallow lines on the mirror surface that outlined strange patterns such as bows, crossbows, and bank notes.
