Nightwatcher

Five hundred pieces of aunt's heart is beating wildly. These silk fabrics are rich in types, including silk, silk, brocade, etc., with fine weaving and exquisite patterns. The expensive silks and satins sold in those shops are worth a lot.

And with such an expensive and exquisite material, there are five hundred aunts who feel that they have been stunned by the sudden happiness.

Xu Lingyue is no better than her mother. From ancient times to the present, women have always had a soft spot for clothes.

Xu Lingyin who ate alone while her parents and sister were not paying attention was not included, she was still a child.

"I'll help!" Second Uncle Xu couldn't sit still anymore, got up quickly, and strode out.

Standing by the carriage, Xu Qi'an was discussing with Song Tingfeng about resolving the Sangbo case, and then went to the Jiaofang Division to play.

"Speaking of which, among the twenty-four oirans of the Jiaofang Division, I only slept with Fuxiang. I will visit them one by one in the future." Xu Qi'an said in an expectant tone.

"You..." Song Tingfeng stared at him strangely: "Aren't you and Fuxiang on good terms? What you should do now is to redeem her body."

"You" Xu Qi'an also stared at him strangely, unable to figure out why the ancients always liked to use buses for private use.

Well, the status of concubines is only higher than that of slaves. Maybe in their view, redeeming a girl from a brothel is equivalent to buying a girlfriend who can't speak or eat, and survives on air.

And the oiran will not leak.

Wife and concubine are different concepts and cannot be compared, but in my opinion, redemption for a girl in a brothel, and meeting a beautifully dressed and rich family on a blind date, who say they are selling clothes outside are the same or three views and thoughts There are differences.

Xu Qi'an shook his head, not wanting to continue this topic.

"Second Uncle, don't move these." Seeing Xu Second Uncle come out to help, Xu Qi'an hurriedly shouted.

When the second uncle looked over, Xu Qi'an dragged a 60-jin small box with one hand and threw it over: "You carry this."

Second Uncle Xu reached out to take it, feeling quite heavy, opened it to see what blinded my dog's eyes?

My aunt was fascinated by the beautiful silk and satin in the front hall, touching east and west, her beautiful face burst into a smile uncontrollably.

Xu Lingyue pressed her small hand on a piece of silk, feeling the silky and smooth touch, the girl's heart was pounding.

Snapped!

The mother's aunt slapped it away, and said displeasedly: "Don't touch it dirty."

Xu Lingyue said quietly: "Mother, what are you happy about? These things are given to the eldest brother by His Majesty, and they are not yours."

Fatal blow!

The aunt gradually lost her smile, and after a while, her dignified and glamorous face smiled stiffly, "I'm pretty good to Da Lang, right?"

She had no confidence in what she said.

Xu Lingyue nodded: "Well, it's good, the eldest brother is your loser."

"Damn girl!" Xu Lingyue staggered as her aunt poked her finger.

At this time, the mother and daughter saw Second Uncle Xu come in with a box in his hands.

Aunt raised her skirt to greet her, "What is the master holding?"

Uncle Xu opened the box, closed it again, looked at Fa's wife and said, "Are you blind?"

"blind"

My aunt has never been out of the court, and now she has three children. She has never seen so much silver, no, gold in her thirty-six years of life.

The second uncle has never owned so much gold.

"My throat is so dry, I've been tired all day, and I haven't even had a sip of good tea."

"Ning Yan, you sit down, and Auntie will make it for you."

"I want to eat steamed eggs."

"Auntie will ask the kitchen to make it for you."

"Is there no milk?"

"Yes, yes, auntie will heat the milk for you."

At the dining table, Xu Qi'an was sitting with a big horse and a golden knife, and his aunt, who was usually arrogant, was attentively taking care of him. When Xu Qi'an wanted to eat steamed eggs, his aunt asked someone to make it for him. Xu Qi'an wanted to drink tea, so his aunt made it for him. Xu Qi'an wanted to drink milk, so his aunt gave him milk and tried hard to make up for the tense relationship between aunt and nephew.

"Auntie is not sincere now, I want to eat eggs made by Auntie herself." Xu Qi'an snorted.

Auntie bit her lip and forced a smile: "Auntie will do it for you."

The steamed eggs came up, and Xu Qi'an said while eating, "Hey, there are a lot of dirty clothes lost in the yard next door. Unlucky bastards like me who have no parents, I can only wash them myself."

Auntie gritted her teeth: "Ning Yan's words are out of character. Auntie treats you as her own. Auntie will wash it."

Excited! Xu Qi'an felt that his thoughts were clear, and the obsession accumulated in his heart finally dissipated.

"Second uncle, otherwise we will sell this house and buy a big house in the inner city." Xu Qi'an suggested.

The plump and beautiful aunt's eyes lit up, and her face was radiant.

Second Uncle Xu glanced at the furnishings in the hall, and suddenly sighed: "This is the ancestral house, so you can sell it right away? Your father and I grew up in this house."

"If you don't sell it, you don't sell it. Eight thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a more spacious house in the inner city." Xu Qi'an raised his glass to drink, put down his glass, and said suddenly: "Second Uncle, am I talking about you privately with other women outside?" raw."

"Pfft..." Second Uncle Xu quickly turned his head down and sprayed Xu Lingyin's face with a mouthful of wine.

He intended to spray on the ground, but the young girl was too small, so he just sprayed on her head and face.

Xiaodouding was stunned, not knowing what he did wrong. She was strong enough not to cry, and licked the wine on her face with her tongue, feeling that it didn't taste good, so she burst into tears with a "wow".

Second Uncle Xu glared at his nephew who couldn't think of words: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The second uncle's expression showed no guilt or shock, and the aunt's expression also showed no suspicion or astonishment. Xu Qi'an, who is proficient in expression psychology, made a judgment.

When people are most defenseless, the actions they make subconsciously are the most in line with their hearts.

Xu Qi'an took the lead in ruling out the option of being the second uncle's illegitimate son. It's not unreasonable for him to think so. When he was young, his second uncle's colleagues would visit and be guests at home, and they would point to Xu Qi'an and say, "This is your son?"

Or point to Xu Erlang and say, "Your daughter is so beautiful."

represents what? On behalf of Xu Qi'an and Xu Ershu's facial features are similar.

From a genetic point of view, the two are related.

"Are you kidding me? I've never met my biological parents, and they look so similar to my second uncle." Xu Qi'an shrugged:

"By the way, has my aunt seen my mother?"

The aunt replied: "Of course I have. When your mother was pregnant with you, I took care of her for a while. Your mother is gentle, unlike you"

He paused hastily, almost habitually ranting against his nephew.

"Then where's your brother?" Xu Qi'an lowered his head to eat the steamed egg, while observing his second uncle from the corner of his eye.

Second Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and said angrily, "Then you are my father."

He recalled a little, and said: "Your grandma died early, we two brothers grew up dependent on each other, your father's talent is better than mine, but it's a pity that he died in the Shanhaiguan battle."

Xu Qi'an didn't ask any more questions, quickly settled his food and clothing, left five hundred bolts of silk and satin in the main house, and returned to the small courtyard with a box full of gold ingots.

It's not safe to keep gold at home. In the afternoon, so many colleagues in the yamen saw the watchman. If they came to the door with malicious intentions and stole it, they would hurt my aunt and sister instead.

"Wei Yuan said that for a long time, he would send policemen to secretly protect and monitor the vicinity of Xu's mansion to prevent the Taoist priests of the Dizong from seeking revenge. Put the box into the ground book fragments.

After taking a bath, the fragrant aunt sat on the edge of the bed, tilted her head, and wiped her black hair with a sweat towel.

Uncle Xu sat cross-legged on a small platform not far away, exhaling and practicing Qi.

"Practice and practice every day, and I haven't seen you practice well." Aunt rolled her eyes charmingly.

Huh~

Uncle Xu exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. Although he was full of energy after exhaling, there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

He has already reached the peak of Qi training, no matter how much he practices, his Qi will not increase. The door leading to the realm of refining the gods was firmly closed.

"Master, do you think that if you break through to the next level, will you be promoted?" The aunt stretched her waist while talking.

Xu Pingzhi gave a "hmm" and said, "It's only natural."

My aunt wiped her hair, took off her embroidered shoes, and sat sideways on the bed with her long legs crossed. She hugged the pillow in her arms and complained: "Xu Ningyan's bastard is so proud of him. It’s not because of the silk and satin and the mansions in the inner city that I can’t bear him anymore and spit him bloody.”

As she spoke, she sighed, "I've grown up before I know it."

It was as big as a kitten when I took him from my husband.

"Boom boom boom"

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Qi'an's voice came from the door: "Second Uncle, I forgot to tell you something."

My aunt was startled, she quickly put down the bed curtain, and shrank into the quilt.

Xu Pingzhi stood up and said, "Go to the study."

"No, second uncle, come out, say a few words at the door and leave." Xu Qi'an said.

The aunt hugged the quilt and hid behind the bed curtain to eavesdrop. The uncle and nephew exchanged a few words, and then the husband came back and slammed the door shut.

"What are you talking about, did he secretly give you money?" Aunt poked her head out of the bed curtain and stared at Xu Pingzhi.

Suddenly, she was stunned, and saw her husband's slightly red eye sockets and moist eyes.

"Master?" My aunt was at a loss and called out in a daze.

"I finally waited for hope." Xu Pingzhi closed his eyes and said softly, "The hope of refining the gods."

My aunt pursed her red lips tightly.

Is it Ning Yan?

Xu Qi'an returned to the small courtyard, feeling inspired, stood at the door for a few seconds, and gently pushed it away.

He walked to the table as usual, lit the candles, and the slender flames bloomed with a dim yellow halo, driving away the darkness and coating the room with a layer of orange.

On the bed, sitting cross-legged was an old Taoist priest with gray hair. Although he was tied with a Taoist hairpin, strands of messy hair still hung down.

His facial features are profound and his brows are peaceful.

"You're here." Xu Qi'an greeted with a smile.

"I'm here." Daoist Jin Lian nodded and smiled back.

"You shouldn't have come." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

Priest Jin Lian was surprised and said, "What's the explanation? Didn't we make an appointment for a secret meeting today?"

No, I'm just playing around, let's learn about Gu Long's novels! Xu Qi'an shrugged, "Just kidding with the Taoist priest."

"How is the investigation of the Sangbo case?" Daoist Jin Lian didn't care, after all, he has some eccentricities as an individual, and the members of the Tiandihui have strong personalities.

Xu Qi'an pondered for a while, and said: "This case is very complicated and involves too many forces. I have found out that there are many clues and messy. To be honest, I have been a police officer for so many years, and I have never encountered such a difficult problem. .”

We generally rely on surveillance! He added in his heart.

At the moment, I will tell Taoist Priest Jinlian all the clues I have collected and my own speculation.

Since he joined the Tiandihui, he and Daoist Jinlian have reached a preliminary trust, and he feels that the other party is a good candidate to be an ally. Moreover, the Sangbo case has no interest in Taoist Jinlian.

Well, if he escaped to the capital for superficial reasons, but was actually laying the groundwork for the Sangbo case, and he was the one who silenced Zhao County Magistrate, then he is really Wang Zha!

Xu Qi'an thought about it bitterly, everyone is a bad person now, everyone is an old silver coin.

"Do you suspect that King Zhenbei is the manipulator behind the scenes, he reached an agreement with the Yaozu in the north and the Witch God Cult in the northeast, trying to usurp the throne?

"So the Sangbo case was blown up and the first supervisor was released." Priest Jin Lian frowned.

"What does the Taoist think?" Xu Qi'an asked back.
