Nightwatcher

Emperor Yuan Jing's personal eunuch, dragging the dust in his hand, came over to pick up the booklet, and handed it to Emperor Yuan Jing respectfully.

Emperor Yuan Jing put the book aside, took the brochure, and read it carefully.

Looking at it, the two eyebrows were raised, and the anger in the eyes was brewing.

"The whole article is nonsense, the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the government office are becoming more and more useless." Emperor Yuan Jing blamed.

He glanced at Eunuch Liu, which made him tremble in fright.

Emperor Yuan Jing threw the booklet aside, his tone was emotionless, but more penetrating, "Where is the policeman's yamen?"

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, I'm right behind you."

Emperor Yuan Jing raised his brows, picked up the booklet again, and continued to read.

As he watched and watched, his tightly locked brows unknowingly relaxed, and the impatience between his brows also slowly disappeared, and he was able to concentrate on watching.

Emperor Yuan Jing changed from a side-lying posture to a straight sitting posture.

His face became more and more dignified, and his eyes became more and more sharp.

The two eunuchs unconsciously slowed down their breathing, not only afraid of disturbing His Majesty, but also afraid of getting bad luck.

In the end, when Emperor Yuan Jing put down the pamphlet, the bones of immortality and Taoism that he had cultivated for twenty years were gone, only the majesty and fierceness of a human emperor.

Eunuch Liu was already sweating coldly on his forehead.

He thought His Majesty would be satisfied, but judging by the situation, it seemed to have the opposite effect?

"Order!"

Emperor Yuan Jing's face was frosty, and his tone was serious: "The magistrate of Taikang dereliction of duty, killed and injured hundreds of people in gray households around Dahuang Mountain, dismissed, put in prison, and executed after next autumn.

"Lv Qing, who was quickly arrested by the government office, was promoted to the chief arrester of the six sects."

He didn't mention Xu Qi'an, because Xu Qi'an was a sinner himself, and his performance commission should be put at the end, and the reward was his life.

"Your maidservant takes orders!" Eunuch Liu retreated as if relieved of his heavy burden.

Leaving the Jingxin Hall, he took the little eunuch back to the residence without saying a word, and let out a long breath.

Although I don't know that His Majesty's face became even more ugly after reading the following text, but according to His Majesty's verbal instructions, he should be very satisfied with the following content, and His Majesty's gloomy mood is something else.

In the Jingxin Hall, Emperor Yuan Jing stood by the window and was silent for a long time.

"Notice to lift the city ban on the inner and outer cities."

Xu Qi'an dragged his exhausted body back home, dinner was over.

The front hall of the Xu Mansion was brightly lit, Xu Pingzhi and Xu New Year were guarding there, waiting for him to come back.

"Nian'er, let the kitchen heat up the food and serve it up." Xu Pingzhi said.

With red lips and white teeth, the picturesque handsome Xu Nian left the front hall, leaving only his nephew and uncle.

The candlelight flickered slightly, Second Uncle Xu's rough Chinese character face was stern and serious.

Not long after, when Xu New Year came back, the cooks brought over the dishes and kept them hot in the pot, waiting for Xu Qi'an to come back.

Seeing the rugged second uncle and handsome younger brother, Xu Qi'an was in a daze.

He is alone in this world, without a mobile phone, computer, keyboard man, or Japanese love education film.

I live a life of lighting candles or oil lamps every day, and I have to curse and lift up the hem of my clothes when I go to the bathroom.

Sometimes in a dream, I dreamed that I went back to the previous life, woke up with a smile, and then looked at the roof with interlaced beams and wood in a daze.

"Suddenly I want to drink." Xu Qi'an cursed in a low voice, and took the jug from the cook.

When the cooks finished the dishes, Xu Pingzhi waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Xu Qi'an drank wine one after another, not because he missed the past life, but because he suddenly remembered a sentence: My hometown is where my heart is at ease.

In this world, there are always people waiting for you to go home at night and warming up meals for you in the kitchen.

No matter how tired, helpless and lonely you are outside, when you come back here, you will understand that you are not alone.

After drinking half a jug of wine, Xu Qi'an let out a long breath: "Sangbo was bombed, His Majesty ordered me to investigate the case thoroughly, and make meritorious deeds."

Xu Pingzhi nodded slowly: "I already know, but this matter is beyond your control."

"I know, I'm only responsible for investigating the case, not pursuing it." Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "You have to try, if you don't try, I can only run away."

He never thought of paying the imperial power. If no case can be found out, fleeing is inevitable.

"This shouldn't implicate you, after all, I haven't committed any major crimes." Xu Qi'an said.

The reason why he swears just now is that he finally found a home with a sense of belonging, and he may say goodbye completely in the near future.

The crime Xu Qi'an committed was to kill his superiors. Although it was a capital crime, it was still far from his family.

In Dafeng, even sitting is a very serious sin, and most people are not qualified to even sit.

In order to achieve the crime of "involving the X family", the following points need to be met: 1. Conspiracy. Second, it caused heavy losses to the country. Three, causing heavy losses to the royal family. Four, stand on the wrong team!

Xu Pingzhi belongs to the second article, losing tax money and causing heavy losses to the treasury. But this is not the norm.

Those who can achieve the above four achievements are usually the princes in the court. Those nobles are the ones who will be copied and beheaded by the whole family at every turn.

Therefore, "even sitting" is also jokingly called the privilege of the big brother.

Xu Qi'an is at most a death row prisoner, and if he escapes, he is a fugitive, and his uncle and aunt cannot be implicated.

Uncle Xu nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you can figure it out. You have been stubborn since you were a child."

That was the me before, and the me now, the eel has changed a lot. Xu Qi'an shook his head: "I'm not stupid."

Xu Erlang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If it's really not possible, you can go to Yunzhou."

Yunzhou?

Xu Qi'an was taken aback.

He knew about Yunzhou, which was seriously plagued by banditry, and it was also called Bandit State, and No. 2 was also in Yunzhou.

Xu Erlang said: "Then you are seriously troubled by banditry and the influence of the imperial court is the worst. Even if you are wanted, you will be safe if you escape there.

If you are more ruthless, you can directly fall into the grass and become a bandit, which can not only sharpen martial arts, but also control power. Many important criminals who are wanted by the imperial court and desperadoes in the rivers and lakes like to gather in Yunzhou. "

It makes sense, compared to other regions, it is safer to hide in Yunzhou, the more chaotic the place, the safer it is, etc.!

A light flashed in Xu Qi'an's mind.

If I were Zhou Baihu, where would I escape to?

Fornicating with the monster clan, blowing up Sangpo, and perfectly fulfilling the felony of "slashing the whole family" and "cooperating with the three clans".

It is not safe to hide anywhere, because the court will not let him go.

Where should that be hiding?

Two choices, either leave Dafeng, or hide in Yunzhou!

Yes, Yunzhou.

Xu Qi'an became excited all of a sudden, and was about to slap his younger brother on the shoulder when his second uncle slapped the table angrily: "Don't go to Yunzhou."

The brothers were taken aback.

"Why?" Xu Qi'an was surprised by his second uncle's reaction.

"What are you going to Yunzhou for? Are you turning into bandits?" Second Uncle Xu said angrily, "The imperial court suppresses bandits every year. What if we send Cijiu to Yunzhou to suppress bandits in the future? Have you forgotten the agreement you two made that day? "

What a promise, Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year bowed their heads in shame.

I really forgot.

Unexpectedly, the second uncle still remembered, it seemed that he really took it to heart.

"I know, I know, I'm not going to Yunzhou, I'm going to the Western Regions." Xu Qi'an said.

Orchids from the Western Regions are beautiful and enthusiastic!

After eating, Xu Qi'an saw Xu Lingyue walking in holding a bowl of hot milk, pursing her red lips, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle:

"Brother, drink a bowl of milk to make up for it."

"Lingyue personally went to the street to buy fresh milk for lunch today." Second Uncle Xu smiled sincerely when he saw that the relationship between his nephew and nephew was getting better and better, and added:

"Lingyin drank two big bowls and beat her sister up."

Xu Qi'an took the milk, smelled it, and almost spit out the milk, it was fishy and embarrassing.

This is the case with fresh milk in this era. There are no messy additives, and the original taste is at most heat-sterilized.

But it's not really good.

However, although it is unpalatable, it is indeed something that nobles can drink every day, although the taste is not very popular.

But it can really nourish the body. For noble children, milk is a must-drink food every day.

Can I try to improve milk and make a lot of money by relying on the unique secret recipe? Well, I don't know how to get rid of this smell. The teacher at school didn't teach it.

Deep feelings.

Touching the still hot bowl, Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered some past events.

When he was in middle school, his parents ordered milk for him, the kind in a glass bottle, and it was still hot when it was delivered to the door every morning.

Xu Qi'an didn't drink it himself, but gave it to the goddess in his pocket. He thought it was love.

It was only later that he discovered that he was actually a licking dog.

At some point, it rained miserably outside, soaking the dead branches and also soaking the stone slabs in the yard.

Xu Qi'an, who was full of wine and food, returned to his small courtyard with an oiled paper umbrella.

He lit an oil lamp, opened the window, it was completely dark, a bit of candlelight stubbornly shone through, and the rain was pattering.

The world is quiet, so quiet that people can calm down and think about many things.

A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peaches and plums, ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes lights!

When the poet Huang Tingjian wrote this poem, he was probably in the same mood as him, thinking of some people in his heart.

Perhaps, it was also such a quiet, windy and rainy night.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Qi'an turned on the lamp twice before he could break free from the feeling of loss.

People can't be immersed in their own world all the time, there are still many things to do.

Xu Qi'an sat at the table, took out the small jade mirror, and entered the information: "Oh, something happened in the capital again."

PS: This chapter is from yesterday. I had something to do during the day yesterday, and I still owe you a chapter. I stayed up late stubbornly until now, and finally wrote it. Go to sleep.
