Nightwatcher

Xu Qi'an was taken aback, wondering when did I lie? If you really want to say deception, it is the character design of Yunlu Academy.

Could it be that my human setting collapsed unknowingly? It doesn't make sense, and it shouldn't be the fifth who said this, and it is reasonable for the first or sixth to criticize. It was never the turn of a chick far away in southern Xinjiang to speak.

Holding the fragments of the book from the ground, he mused and did not reply, while the other members of the Tiandihui did not speak, watching the development of the situation quietly.

Number three is a liar? He was the one who picked up the silver. How did No. 5 know about it? The two of them didn't communicate too much during the process of passing the letter. That is to say, No. 5 found out the No. 3's flaws, no, if there are any flaws, other people will notice them, not No. 5... So No. 4 thought.

Number three has a good temperament, a warm-hearted and kind person, everyone has secrets, and number five is such a stupid woman... Number two thought so.

No. 3 kept picking up silver, and Monk Hengyuan didn't know what expression to make.

No. 1 smiled without saying a word, silently watching the screen.

At this moment, Daoist Jinlian was lazily lying on the roof basking in the sun, with his cat's eyes closed comfortably.

No. 5 didn't make people wait too long, and she severely accused No. 3 of being insincere: [The friend you mentioned who often picks up money is yourself, right? I asked and my message was correct. 】

Xu Qi'an: ""

[Five: Na na, I have nothing to say. 】

Ning is also the old second dimension? Xu Qi'an pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief, yes, he was lying. However, whether this kind of thing is cheated or not is irrelevant.

For example, Song Tingfeng often said, I have a friend who is not in good health

Everyone knew it was him, but did anyone accuse him of lying?

Sure enough, in the Dishu chat group, no one responded to No. 5, and everyone had their own ideas.

I really envy No. 3, I can pick up money when I go out every day, and my old lady is almost unable to pay the military salary. No. 2 sincerely thinks.

It turns out that No. 3 is the one who picks up money every day. Well, back then, the poor monk suspected that if the poor monk could pick up money every day, he could save more widows, widows and loneliness. No. 6 was very envious.

The person who picks up the silver is the No. 3 deity, who can pick up the silver so abnormally? I don't remember that the Confucianism system of Yunlu Academy has such miraculous features. Number four was startled, thinking of some possibility, and hurriedly sent a letter: [No. three, when did this phenomenon happen? 】

Xu Qi'an hesitated a little, and replied: [About more than a month ago. 】

He purposely shortened the time, lest someone in the future find out that he appeared abnormal after the end of the tax and bank case based on this.

Number four's heart was beating violently, because he had a guess, and that guess was so absurd and bold that it made him tremble like an electric current wandering through his body.

More than a month ago, if I remember correctly, the vision of the clear air in Yunlu Academy also happened more than a month ago. At that time, No. 3 had not yet joined the Tiandihui, so Priest Jin Lian solemnly commissioned No. 1 to investigate within the Tiandihui.

As we all know, No. 3 is a student of the Confucian Academy. One thing is extremely unusual, that is, No. 3 is not strong, but has received too many resources, and knows too many secrets that only the senior management of Yunlu Academy know. This is very unreasonable. No. 4, as a former scholar, has long noticed that something is wrong. It is not that No. 3 is questioning the identity of Yunlu Academy, but that his treatment is a bit exaggerated.

But what if No. 3 has something to do with the soaring Qi of Yunlu Academy? So is it reasonable to get the attention of the senior management of Yunlu Academy?

But what is the connection between picking up silver and clearing the sky? No. 4 didn't figure it out.

"It seems that I have to take some time to go back to the capital and visit Dean Zhao Shou." No. 4 secretly decided to return to the capital before the end of the year.

Thinking of this, No. 4, who knew something about No. 3's secret, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: [Interesting, I have underestimated No. 3 before, it seems that you need to re-evaluate your value and potential. 】

Why does No. 4 know that No. 3 frequently picks up money? And the reason behind this is that some important secrets are involved, otherwise No. 4 would not comment like this. Except for No. 5, everyone else has sensed something wrong from No. 4's words.

Seeing that everyone was almost finished chatting, Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes, used his finger to write the letter, and passed on the letter: [Heh, I have a question, how did you know on the 5th that it was me who picked up the money? 】

With No. 5's IQ, it is impossible to cheat him, that is to say, she really knows the reason why she picks up the money, at least she knows some inside information.

This is exactly what Xu Qi'an is eager to know, he has always been very concerned about his weird luck.

[Five: I can't say, I promised others, I can't leak it to anyone, not even you. 】

No. 5 simply refused.

[Three: Equivalent exchange. 】

【Five: Don't exchange, you must be honest. 】

You silly girl, believe it or not, I blacklisted you to scum you once in the future, and then I pulled up my pants and refused to recognize you Xu Qian complained inwardly.

After thinking about it, Daoist Jin Lian, the operator, has not recovered from his injury and cannot open the private chat function. Now is really not a good time to ask.

When he can chat privately in the future, he will have a good chat with No. 5, a silly girl from southern Xinjiang, about life and ideals. There is still a lot of room for manipulation.

Royal Study Room, Xiaochaohui.

Emperor Yuan Jing, who was wearing Taoist robes, sat at the head, listening to the report of the prefect Chen Hanguang, he was neither angry nor happy, and calm about the crowds at Caishikou.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have given positions in the matter. What do you think about it?" Emperor Yuan Jing raised his mouth seemingly casually.

Immediately, ministers came out to recommend their own people. Emperor Yuan Jing watched the officials' fierce arguments with a blank face, wishing to beat the opponent's brains out for the two vacant positions of real power.

Even Wei Yuan and Chief Assistant Wang Zhenwen, the two powerful figures, would inevitably end up in the end.

Seeing that the conflict was getting more and more intense, the grumpy ministers had already rolled up their sleeves, and Emperor Yuan Jing knocked on the table to stop it in due course.

"Shang Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what suggestions do you have?"

Shang Xian strode out, and when he bowed his head, he glanced at Wang Wenzhen from the corner of his eye, and seeing the latter shaking his head imperceptibly, he said:

"My minister is terrified. There is no candidate for the time being. Please show me your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded in satisfaction: "Let's discuss this matter again."

Sure enough, all the ministers let out a sigh of relief slowly, and looked at each other with hatred.

At this time, Wei Yuan came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a performance."

After Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, Wei Yuan said: "Xu Qi'an of the Tonggong has made great contributions in the case of Princess Pingyang, please reward him by Your Majesty."

The corresponding memorial was submitted to the inner court yesterday.

Emperor Yuan Jing obviously knew the details of the case, and also knew the contribution made by Tongluo Xu Qi'an. Whether it was to restart the case of Princess Pingyang, or to discover the traces of Monk Henghui, and then to find the body of Princess Pingyang, that Tongluo It is indispensable.

But Emperor Yuan Jing still hesitated, he didn't like the gong, there was no reason, it gave him a very uncoordinated and uncomfortable feeling.

I hate it from the bottom of my heart.

When I saw him in the imperial city that day, and saw him slashing the ground, Linglong was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward. At that moment, Emperor Yuan Jing hated him uncontrollably.

Just as Wei Yuan was about to speak, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, this humble minister has a gift."

He strode out, bowed, and said righteously: "I have been ordered to investigate the Sangbo case, and I have worked hard for several days, and I dare not neglect for a moment. After investigation by my minister, the Dali Temple Secretary often said that he colluded with the monster clan, cooperated internally and externally, and blew up Sang Bo. Your Majesty, please have this fellow removed and handed over to my minister for thorough investigation."

The Minister of Dali Temple often said that he squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Shangshu.

He is one of the core members of the Qi Party. Because of the gunpowder incident, another core member of the Qi Party, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has already walked through the tightrope once.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry snorted coldly, and walked out: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment is slandering and slandering Mr. Chang wantonly. I believe that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is also suspect."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately came out and shouted: "I am wronged."

Wei Yuan sighed, a little disappointed. Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jing said: "The Sangbo case is not over yet. Tonggong Xu Qi'an was ordered to continue handling the case. Half a month has passed. If no truth can be found out, I will still execute him."

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yuan frowned, bowed and said, "Even if Xu Qi'an failed to handle the case, he still made meritorious service in the case of Princess Pingyang. How could it be the death penalty?"

All the officials looked at Wei Yuan involuntarily, with different emotions in their eyes, some gloating, some surprised, some pleased.

Sun Shangshu, who is the chief assistant royal party, criticized Dali Siqing on the surface, but also gave Wei Yuan a cold shot secretly. As long as the dispute over the Sangbo case continues, Tongluo, who is in charge of the watchman's yamen, cannot stay out of it. was dragged back into the water.

In the same way, Dali Temple Minister will also wear the hat of a suspect. If the case is not solved, don't even think about taking it off. Usually it's nothing, but during the Beijing inspection period, such a big stain can be magnified casually.

At that time, if he is included in the Eight Laws, he will be able to pack up and leave, and no matter how bad he is, he will be kicked out of the position of Shangshu.

However, the Minister of Rites, who is also the king's party, was also involved, and the limit was one exchange for two, which was not a loss.

Is Wei Yuan too concerned about a small gong? The ministers keenly grasped this point.

Therefore, he more and more agrees with the operation of Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the civil servants fought fiercely, Wei Yuan, as the number one enemy of the civil servant group, was willing to do anything that could make Wei Yuan lose his temper.

"I'm tired, step back." Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand.

All the ministers bowed in unison, and exited the imperial study room in an orderly manner. The ministers left in a clear and distinct way. When Fang just stepped out of the Meridian Gate, the atmosphere immediately changed drastically.

The tense atmosphere disappeared, as if a big drama was staged, and finally ushered in the end with a sense of relief.

Those who are hostile are still hostile, but not as exaggerated as in the imperial study room.

The grey-haired, serious-looking Wang Shoufu, dressed in scarlet robes, greeted Wei Yuan with a smile on his face, "Duke Wei seems to care a lot about that little gong. He is indeed a rare talent who has made great achievements ingeniously."

Wei Yuan smiled gently: "It's a pity that you don't know how to be a human being. If you offend someone, you shouldn't offend others."

Wang Shoufu was taken aback, "Why did Duke Wei say such a thing? We accept talents for the country, and we should take care of him. How can we let him die halfway. If Duke Wei can't protect him, let me do it for him."

Wei Yuan took a deep look at him, his expression was still gentle, his emotions and anger were not visible: "Don't bother Mr. Shoufu."

Wei Yuan returned to the Yamen in a carriage, and ordered the officials: "Let Xu Qi'an come to see me."

At that time, Xu Qi'an was practicing martial arts, fighting against Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng, honing his sword skills.

"Old Song, you haven't been to the Jiaofang Division recently? The breath is much longer than usual." Xu Qi'an joked while parrying the mixed doubles of two colleagues.

"Basically all his monthly salary is given to the women in the Jiaofang Division, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself." Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice, "Ning Yan, today's him is your future, so we must take this as a warning."

Among the three young men, Zhu Guangxiao, who worked hard, was the most restrained. It was not about abstinence, but because he wanted to save money to marry a wife.

Xu Qi'an and Song Tingfeng love Shen Gongbao the most, the former is keen on whoring for nothing, and the latter is a prostitute.

After refining the essence, martial arts do not need abstinence, but they still have to be restrained in the end. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, and the body of a hundred battles is lost by an ant's nest.

At this time, a black-clothed official rushed over, stopped at the edge of the martial arts arena, and raised his voice: "Master Xu, Duke Wei summoned you."
