Nightwatcher

Everyone's fortune is different, if you miss it, you will miss it, and no matter how much you regret it, it will be irreversible.

Missing the red-sleeved lady who became popular, crying out of breath, it may take several days to comprehend this truth, and then self-adjust in a long period of depression.

The red-sleeve oiran cried like this, so she had no choice but to withdraw from the tea circle. Mr. Wei and the others were worthy of being educated scholars, instead of complaining, they comforted Hong-sleeve to rest.

After seeing off the red sleeves, Mr. Wei and others continued to drink. A place like Jiaofangsi is a place for socializing and socializing.

The presence of a beauty is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if she isn't there. Men should drink and drink, and chat.

"Just now, didn't you say that there were watchmen coming to play tea circle?" Mr. Wei thought of this detail, and asked the maid beside him:

"Just now the red-sleeved lady said that some of them claimed that Floating Fragrance was his best friend?"

"It seems so." said the servant girl.

Mr. Wei had a vague guess in his heart, stopped drinking, and stared at the servant girl solemnly: "What is the name of the gong?"

"My lord, I don't know." The servant girl shook her head, thinking that I don't care about it.

The other sons and brothers are all smart people, thinking of the abnormality of the red-sleeved lady just now, they were taken aback: "Then, then Xu Ningyan came to Yuzhou?"

The case of Gang Yunshi just happened today, and it hasn't been spread in Yuzhou yet. Among this group of students, only Mr. Wei has an official background, but it will take a day or two to know these things.

"Tomorrow, you can go to the station to have a look. If the watchman lives in the station, he must pay a visit."

station!

The carriage slowed down and stopped outside the post station.

Governor Zhang got off the carriage with a serious face, and returned to the station with Jiang Lvzhong who was accompanying him. It was already a full moon night.

Governor Zhang glanced at the stables a little far away, only a few horses tied there, entered the post station, asked the postmen, and found out that almost all the watchmen were fooling around outside and did not come back to the post station.

Governor Zhang, who was already in a heavy heart, said angrily: "Absurd, I am waiting for the emperor's life, how can I be so slack and greedy for pleasure."

Jiang Lvzhong smiled and said, "They have been holding back on the boat for so many days, and it's only natural for them to relax. The governor is fine, and it doesn't matter what happens to the others."

The two went upstairs, and in the dark corridor came a guy in shorts, hugging his shoulders in the cold, shivering.

Jiang Luzhong has night vision ability, staring at the person coming, wondering: "What kind of moth are you doing?"

"I just took a shower, a cold shower."

Xu Qi'an, who didn't stay overnight at Jiaofang Division, answered.

"Then?"

"This is the south." He said something without thinking, and suddenly sighed: "Find the feeling of the past, Governor Jiang Jinluo and Zhang are back. The others have gone to stay in the Jiaofang Division."

Governor Zhang nodded, and went into his room on his own.

"Why didn't you stay at the Jiaofang Division?" Jiang Lvzhong looked at Xu Qi'an, as far as he knew, this kid was also a veteran of flower farms.

"Any transaction linked to silver is vulgar and criminal. Resolutely resist this kind of behavior." Xu Qi'an finished speaking with a serious face, and walked away.

Jiang Lvzhong looked at his back and thought, this kid must be drunk. Even though he said some nonsense words, moreover, the warriors in the refinement realm have long since survived the cold and heat, but they pretended to be suffering from hunger and cold.

Xu Qi'an entered the room, closed the door, shivered for fun, quickly ran to bed, rolled up the quilt, and pretended that he lived in the cold and damp south.

In terms of geographical location, although Yuzhou is not a coastal area, it is also in the south. Different from the bone-scraping cold wind in Beijing, the cold in Yuzhou sticks to the skin and penetrates into the pores.

This reminded Xu Qi'an of the south where he lived in his previous life, taking a bath in the winter, turning off the hot water and applying soap, trembling while washing.

After taking a shower, put on clothes, put on clothes, and the snot will come out.

It's a pity that the Qi training realm warriors are physically strong, so they won't feel cold after a while. Even if soaked in ice water, it feels cold at best.

Wrapped in a quilt, Xu Qi'an fell asleep peacefully.

The candlelight is like beans, flickering with a dim yellow halo.

Governor Zhang sat in front of the case, picked up a pen, and wrote the notes:

"I passed by Yuzhou and accidentally noticed a corruption case. Yan Kai, the envoy of Yuzhou's water transportation yamen, instigated the local gang Huang Qi to kill the escort guards, corrupt black iron ore, and smuggle them to Yunzhou.

"I checked the shipwreck file of the Yuzhou Water Transport Yamen and found that in ten years, there were a total of 43 shipwrecks, and two million catties of iron ore were lost. The amount is huge and outrageous. Cracking the bones and sucking the marrow makes people shudder.

"In the land of Yuzhou, two million catties of iron ore were lost within ten years. If the sixteen prefectures of Dafeng accumulated it, what would be such a huge amount? Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the overturning of the barges in the water transportation offices of the Dafeng states.

"The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry colluded with the Witch God Sect to secretly support the banditry in Yunzhou, and there is fear of conspiracy.

"Besides, Tongluo Xu Qi'an is extremely alert and capable, and he is the pillar of the country. This time, he should be the first to solve the barge case.

"The move in Yunzhou is dangerous and unpredictable, and I must do my best, and I will die before I die."

At dusk the next day, the group left Yuzhou and continued to travel to Yunzhou by boat.

During the day, Xu Qi'an took Hubenwei and his fellow Dagenren to purchase some seasonal vegetables, wine, rice and other supplies in the city.

It is the account of the Water Transport Yamen, which is equivalent to prostitution for nothing.

That night, the cook on the boat cooked a sumptuous dinner for the imperial envoys. After they were full, Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged in the room and vomited.

"Ning Yan, it's a pity that you didn't sleep with the oiran of the Yuzhou Jiaofang Division yesterday." Song Tingfeng felt sorry for his colleagues.

"Hey, that lady with red sleeves looks down on vulgar warriors like us." Xu Qi'an said.

"That's because you didn't reveal your identity. You have to tell her that you are the great talent who wrote "Dark Fragrance and Floating Moon at Dusk". She is not in a hurry to recommend herself." Song Tingfeng replied.

Xu Qi'an was a little puzzled: "In this case, why didn't you tell me?"

Song Tingfeng sneered: "Shit, I'm too jealous to make a name for you, and then watch you sleep with the oiran again?"

"Aren't you happy every day?"

"Can it be the same?"

"It's all the same with the lights off."

"It must have blown the lamp." Song Tingfeng corrected.

Oil lamps are used for blowing, what does it mean to turn off the lights?

Zhu Guangxiao was also voicing. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "In addition to the oiran of the Jiaofang Division, I think Lu Butou of the government office is also very fond of Ningyan."

Song Tingfeng became even more sour all of a sudden, "How did you do it? The ability to tease good families is too strong, how can I teach my brother?"

"elder brother?"

"Teach my brother a few hands."

"You have to call daddy."

"Get out!" Song Tingfeng refused straight away, he had been tricked by Xu Ningyan once before with the same trick.

"Should I call or not?"

"father."

Xu Qi'an smiled.

"What do you mean?" Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao didn't understand.

"Turn your mind away, don't lose your kidneys." Xu Qi'an said.

"It seems to make sense, but are you really qualified to say that?" Song Tingfeng suddenly said angrily after finishing speaking, "You lied to me again, hurry up and call back, or I will kill you."

As he said that, he rushed over, ready to lock the man up.

At this moment, the three of them moved their ears and heard a cry for help from outside.

"Something happened." Xu Qi'an kicked Song Tingfeng away, and rushed out of the room without putting on his boots.

Two colleagues followed closely behind.

Almost at the same time, the silver gongs with advanced cultivation also rushed out, followed by the bronze gongs.

There was no boat at night, and it was moored in an area with gentle currents. On the dark water surface, a man with a tiger's guard was thumping vigorously, sometimes sinking into the water, and sometimes getting out forcefully.

He seemed to be able to swim, but something at the bottom of the water held him and dragged him desperately into the water.

"snort!"

In the cabin, Jiang Lvzhong's cold snort came.

The tiger benwei who fell into the water suddenly seemed to be unshackled, and floated to the surface of the water, and did not continue to sink.

The watchman on deck dropped the rope and pulled him up.

At this time, many tiger guards rushed up from the bottom of the bilge, clad in strong and sharp, with tense expressions.

"It's okay, it's just that someone fell into the water." Xu Qi'an turned his head to comfort him, then turned his head to look at the man who fell into the water, and saw a blue-purple handprint on his ankle.

"What's going on?" A silver gong asked, he was a silver gong under Jiang Lvzhong's command.

This time the team was led by Jinluo Jiang Lvzhong, except for Xu Qi'an who was assigned by Wei Yuan to practice, the rest of the team was under Jiang Lvzhong's command.

As for Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, they were brought together by Xu Qi'an because the travel allowance was too attractive. And there is another chance to make meritorious deeds.

The man spat a few mouthfuls of water, and soon recovered, but his face was a little pale, probably from being frightened.

"Xiaozhi drank too much wine, just ran to the top to pour water, suddenly heard someone calling me in the water, looked down, it was my deceased mother.

"I don't know what's going on, but thinking of every little thing my old mother raised me up, I was so sad that I jumped down.

"After falling into the water, I became sober. Even if the old mother turned into a ghost, how could she appear here? But that thing grabbed my feet and dragged me to the bottom of the water."

"It's the water charm," said an experienced boatman in horror, "the dead body turns into a ghost, which often lures passers-by into the water. This canal kills countless people every year. The accumulation of Yin Qi has given birth to the water charm." Inevitably.

"Adults, please don't come out at night. Shui Mei never goes ashore. As long as she stays on the deck, nothing will happen. When we leave the ship, we eat, drink and drink in the cabin every night. This is the rule."

Everyone turned their heads involuntarily and looked at the dark water surface. It was strange to encounter such a thing at night.

With this episode, the soldiers of Hubenwei no longer come out to solve the metabolic problem at night, and what to do with the guards.

Let's talk about Xu Qi'an, every night he deliberately ran to the deck and blew thousands of miles away, but he didn't meet the legendary Water Charm.

It wasn't that Xu Qi'an was brave and wanted Shui Mei to take her maternity leave, he just wanted to see what Shui Monkey looked like. In my previous life, I was frightened by listening to the story of the water monkey.

On this day, the imperial envoy team finally arrived at Qingzhou Wharf.

After arriving in Qingzhou, you have to take the dry road instead. To take the dry road, you need a carriage and horses. These things are not available in the imperial envoy.

Need to ask the Qingzhou government to help with scheduling.

After getting off the boat, Governor Zhang walked up to Xu Qi'an with a smile, and said, "The chief envoy of Qingzhou is a great scholar of Yunlu Academy, Yang Gong and Yang Ziqian."

Xu Qi'an didn't react for a while, Governor Zhang added: "The number is Ziyang Layman."
