Nightwatcher

Since ancient times, people have a natural awe of officials. Seeing the majestic yamen, the guards with knives, and the stern-faced beaters, my aunt and Xu Lingyue are a little afraid.

My aunt came to the Yamen for the first time and was very nervous, so she hugged Xu Lingyin in her arms and rubbed her vigorously to relieve her emotions.

Xiao Douding's face changed into various shapes in his aunt's hands.

Xu Lingyue quietly approached Xu Qi'an.

"Ning Yan"

A half-baked Tong Luo came over to say hello, his eyes wandered around his aunt and Xu Lingyue, obviously, he was attracted by the beauty of his aunt and sister.

"This is my sister." Xu Qi'an nodded and introduced Xu Lingyue to him.

The Tongluo immediately smiled and looked at his aunt again: "Is this my sister?"

My aunt was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, her eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "Have you seen the 36-year-old sister?"

"Xu Ningyan!" Auntie trembled coldly.

She was reported her age? The aunt took a deep breath, and said to herself not to be angry, not to be angry in front of outsiders, she must maintain her image, and not rush to grab Nephew Hua's face.

Tong Luo glanced at his aunt and Xu Lingyue again, and walked away reluctantly.

Xu Qi'an led the three female relatives to the Spring Breeze Hall. Along the way, they met many familiar colleagues who warmly greeted Xu Qi'an. Several people mistook their aunt for Xu Qi'an's sister.

In disguise, she praised her for being young and beautiful.

When I came to the side hall of the Spring Breeze Hall, I ordered the officials to bring tea and water. My aunt's nervousness was swept away, and she said with a smile:

"Everyone in the watchman's yamen is a good-looking talent, and they speak nicely."

Auntie, what you said sounds weird Xu Qi'an said: "I'll wait at the gate of the yamen."

He waited at the gate of the yamen for a quarter of an hour, and three catchers from the yamen, as well as Zhao Shen and his wife, arrived.

"My lord, bring the criminal here." The young catcher cupped his fists and said respectfully.

"Um!"

Xu Qi'an nodded, reached out to take the rope, and said: "You wait here, I will send the prisoner to the prison, and come out to return the rope."

Zhao Shen and his wife were so frightened that their faces turned pale. People from the capital don't know the prestige of the jailer, and they know that the jail is a place where there is no way out.

If you get out by luck, you have to shed a layer of skin, and spend the rest of your life in pain from then on.

It's all Nangong Qianrou's fault, he single-handedly created the notoriety of being a prisoner.

Zhao Shen's wife sat down on the ground, crying and saying, "If I don't enter the policemen's office, kill me, kill me."

At first glance, this woman is used to being rough at home, and her nature is hard to change. Even though she came to the policeman's office, she is still very aggressive and rascal.

Xu Qi'an's gaze sharpened, and he slapped the guard's scabbard.

The woman spewed out three big teeth, and her mouth was covered with blood. She covered her face, as if she was stunned.

"It's not easy to want to die, but I will fulfill you later." Xu Qi'an sneered, "Why didn't you expect this to happen when you bullied people?"

After finishing speaking, he yanked the rope and dragged the couple into the yamen.

The three catchers stayed where they were, and one of them suddenly said, "Does that lord look familiar?"

"Master Xu? When Catcher Lu was not promoted to Chief Catcher, I worked with her. I met Master Xu once. The change is too great, I can't recognize her at all."

"I've seen it before. No wonder it looks so familiar. Isn't he dead? At that time, Butou Lu was in a bad mood and lost his temper at every turn."

From time to time along the way, Tong Gong was watching, laughing and teasing: "Master Xu is betting on who is the prisoner, crying and crying."

Xu Qi'an responded, "Two scumbags, today let them taste the beatings of society."

Arriving at the dungeon exclusive to the watchmen, the prison door opened "Kang Dang", and the dark and humid air rushed in.

Zhao Shen's face was pale, with despair and terror in his eyes. This was the moment he regretted the most in his life.

No matter what, it was just a small matter that caused me to suffer such a catastrophe.

The woman finally broke down and cried: "I pawned that bracelet, I'll pay you back, pay you back, don't put me in a dungeon"

Zhao Shen widened his eyes and looked at his wife. He finally understood the reason for this mysterious adult's anger. It turned out that his son had really bullied his sister many times.

It turned out that the snatching of the bracelet was true, and it turned out that the wife knew everything.

It's over, let the watchman take hold of it, even a high-ranking official will be frightened, let alone him. Will uncle offend the beater for him?

He couldn't help regretting, why didn't he clarify the matter first, why didn't he deal with this matter well, why he only thought of using his uncle's power to bully some common people and small officials of Sesame Mung Bean.

Zhao Shen burst into tears, muttering: It's over, it's over!

He suddenly became furious, kicked his wife over, and cursed angrily: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

He kicked and cursed angrily, wishing to divorce his wife, provided he could go back alive.

The woman wailed.

Xu Qi'an summoned the guards, put the two in prison, and then called the head of the prison, and ordered: "The couple who were imprisoned just now, show them some color, and pay attention to their proportions."

"Do you want to save your life or your legs?" The head of the prison questioned.

"" Xu Qi'an said in a bad mood: "Alive, but beat them up every day. Be careful when beating, don't lose arms and legs, these two people are useful to me, do you understand?"

Having said that, the jailer has the bottom line in his heart, Mr. Xu is just giving a normal lesson to let the two of them suffer in prison.

"That's it? This is the prison for the prisoner." The jailer thought to himself, should such a trivial matter be imprisoned in the prisoner's yamen?

"This is called labor reform. As a watchman, I protect the safety of the imperial city. I am trusted and reused by His Majesty. I should educate the foolish people."

"My lord is wise."

After he got out of the prison, he chatted with his aunt and sister in Chunfengtang, until the officials in black came to report that an official who claimed to be the doctor of Wenxuan Division asked to see him.

This is within Xu Qi'an's expectation, the clan concept in this world is much stronger than in the previous life, but in the previous life, it is hard to say how much the nephew would do as an uncle when encountering such a thing.

After all, Xu Qi'an is no ordinary watchman now, but a watchman holding a gold medal.

"Lead him to the Spring Breeze Hall." Xu Qi'an got up, left the side hall, entered Li Yuchun's "office", and sat in his place.

After a while, I should also be a silver gong. Oh, there are ten places for Tonggong, who should I recruit? The ten places are first for Uncle Er, one for Aunt, one for Erlang, and one for Lingyue. Oh, Lingyin also Get one, haha, the whole family will eat nothing.

He thought to himself, the doorway was dark, and the officials led in an official with a goatee. He was over fifty years old, and he was wearing a blue official robe. The pattern on his chest was a white pheasant. Showing gray sideburns.

The moment he stepped into the threshold of the Spring Breeze Hall, this old man who had been silent all this time and had a lot of authority showed a smile like a spring breeze:

"Master Xu, I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time, my official position is low, and I have never had the chance to see Sir Xu. I heard that you are a frequent visitor to the Imperial Study Room."

Xu Qi'an said lightly: "If you want to see me, you can just go to Jiaofang Division."

Zhao Langzhong was taken aback.

Xu Qi'an laughed loudly: "Master Zhao can't help but laugh more than the girl from Jiaofang Division, please sit down, please sit down, come and have a cup of tea."

Zhao Langzhong praised Xu Qi'an in secret, implying that Xu Qi'an is a pushy person who has made countless enemies.

Xu Qi'an compared him to a prostitute.

After a confrontation without sword light or sword shadow, the officials served hot tea, Mr. Zhao took a sip of the tea, and got straight to the point:

"Master Xu, I don't know what mistake my nephew, who is not up to date, has committed?"

"The problem is big!"

Xu Qi'an had a frowning face, as if he was worried about Zhao Langzhong, and said: "Instigate the child to do something to plunder, and after the incident, he summoned the servants to deliberately murder this official and his family members.

"Master Zhao, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we should give each other face, but the law will not show mercy!"

Mr. Zhao, who has been in the officialdom for many years, didn't change his face, and even showed a trace of shame: "It's because this official didn't restrain him well and let him act recklessly."

Mr. Zhao took out a bank note from his sleeve, put it on the table, and sincerely apologized: "Mr.

Xu Qi'an took a look at the face value of one hundred, and sighed: "My sister was injured a little bit."

Master Zhao took out another one.

Xu Qi'an sighed, "My aunt got hurt a little."

Master Zhao took out another one.

Xu Qi'an sighed, "My sister was injured a little bit."

"Master Xu's younger sister has already been injured."

"Oh, I have two younger sisters."

Master Zhao took out another one.

Xu Qi'an sighed, "I'm also injured a little bit."

The corner of Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched, and he took out another hundred taels.

"The missing bracelet was given by His Majesty"

Another one.

Now, there are six hundred taels on the table, and the corners of Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched uncontrollably despite decades of ups and downs in the officialdom.

Xu Qi'an did not continue to embarrass him, he didn't accept it as soon as he saw it, but Zhao Shen had blackmailed five hundred taels not long ago, and now he is repaying him in his own way. By the way, I asked for an extra one hundred taels.

"I'll forgive them for this matter." Xu Qi'an carefully collected the cash and put it in his arms.

"Then Mr. Xu, please let him go." Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

"This won't work." Xu Qi'an shook his head.

Master Zhao's face sank in vain.

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea and smiled: "I owe you money, but you have to charge interest, right? The five hundred taels of silver bill is interest, and you haven't paid me the principal yet."

Master Zhao stared at him sharply, and after a while, took a deep breath: "What does Master Xu want?"

He is a doctor with real power, and he is in charge of dispatching officials. This kind of power is not ordinary, and it can be said that it determines the fate of the imperial court and local officials.

Except for the commanding envoy, chief envoy, and procuratorial envoy, he could not interfere with the appointment of these three second-rank officials. The transfer and appointment of other local officials had to be handled by the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials.

Only Xu Qi'an was helpless.

Da Gengren is originally an institution set up to supervise hundreds of officials, and their natural positions conflict with each other. Besides, personnel appointments do not belong to officials of the Ministry of Officials. There is another reason, this kid is a hob meat.

Covered by Wei Yuan, he has been appointed by His Majesty to handle cases many times, not to mention him as a doctor, even the court princes are tui tui tui in their hearts to this little gong, but they are helpless on the surface.

"It's not a big deal. Come on, Mr. Zhao, sit down." Xu Qi'an signaled him to sit down, then raised his teacup to signal, and waited for Mr. Zhao to take a sip of tea before he asked with a smile:

"I heard that the officials in charge of Wenxuan are assigned?"

Zhao Langzhong nodded.

"Chunwei will be in a few days. I have a cousin who is very talented and well-educated. It is easy to be a Jinshi." Xu Qi'an said.

"Since this is the case, you can rest assured that Mr. Xu and I are talking about this." Zhao Langzhong understood what he meant.

"Well." Xu Qi'an said hey: "He is a disciple of Yunlu Academy."

A disciple of Yunlu Academy?

Zhao Langzhong frowned deeply.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao won't be embarrassed. You just need to keep him in Beijing after Chunwei, and treat him equally with other Jinshi. I will be grateful." Xu Qi'an followed the persuasion:

"My lord's nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law will naturally be released at that time, and I will not treat them badly. I have the right to pretend that the bracelet that His Majesty gave you is gone."

Xu Qi'an had this idea in his heart when he heard Mr. Li say that the other party's backer was Wen Xuansi's doctor.

This is a deal. Mr. Zhao pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Yes, I hope Mr. Xu will keep his promise."

Sending Zhao Langzhong away, Xu Qi'an let out a sigh of relief, and said to Erlang, among the younger siblings, the elder brother loves you the most.

Then, he turned his head and went to Haoqi Building.

When the guards guarding downstairs saw Xu Qi'an, they were very resentful, and said in a strange way: "Master Xu Qian, you are here again. I heard that your elder brother has come back to life?"

Xu Qi'an glanced at him: "Who is Xu Qian? My name is Xu New Year, don't talk nonsense, go up and report."

The guard went up the stairs in a desperate manner, and after a while, he returned and said, "Duke Wei invites you to go upstairs."

seventh floor.

Standing in front of Kanyu Map, Wei Yuan, who was meditating, heard footsteps, but did not turn around, and said in a casual tone:

"Has Langzhong Zhao from Wenxuan Department come to see you?"

It really was the right decision for me to come to the Haoqi Building Xu Qi'an clasped his fists together: "You can't hide anything from Duke Wei."

Wei Yuan nodded, but still didn't turn around: "What's the matter?"

Xu Qi'an described the general process of the matter, and said: "If nothing happens to my family Erlang, he will definitely be dispatched to a remote village. Second uncle is only his son, how can this be the case."

With a half-smile tone, Wei Yuan asked, "Why don't you ask me for help?"

His answer was silence, and Wei Yuan didn't rush.

Xu Qi'an hesitated for a long time, and replied calmly: "I want to leave a way for the Xu family, he shouldn't be in the same camp as me."

After a pause, he added: "The humble position is greatly favored by Duke Wei, and it is my duty to charge forward."

Most of the time, things push you to go, and after you go, you find that there is no turning back.

Of course, Xu Qi'an didn't regret it, he had to pay for what he got, he just felt that one more road would be good for the future.

The lonely minister did not end well!

The prince's words made Xu Qi'an secretly vigilant.

Smart people don't put their eggs in one basket. Xu Qi'an hopes that there will be another Xu New Year among the people who can support the Xu family in the future.

Although as a cousin, Xu New Year will be branded with him to some extent, but this is different from Wei Yuan's brand.

Wei Yuan couldn't hide this careful thought, so what Xu Qi'an added later was expressing his own position.

Wei Yuan nodded slowly, "It's human nature, by the way, you have successfully promoted to the realm of refining the gods. How is the strength of the primordial spirit?"

"It's hard to say." Xu Qi'an scratched his head.

"Let's take Li Yuchun as the standard. He is a senior in the realm of refining gods. Although he is still some distance away from copper skin and iron bones, his combat power is not bad." Wei Yuan continued to stare at Kanyu map.

Xu Qi'an murmured: "Then I can cut two with one knife."

Wei Yuan turned around in astonishment: "Huh?"

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Qi'an: "What did you say?"

"Wei Gong, after stepping into the realm of refining the gods, I have never fought against anyone, and I am not sure what level the strength of the primordial spirit belongs to in the realm of refining the gods." Xu Qi'an said modestly.

"Don't you know how the Buddhist lion roars?" Wei Yuan thought for a while, pointing to the observation tower, "Go outside and roar."

"Wei Gong, a lion's roar doesn't distinguish between friend and foe." Xu Qi'an didn't dare.

Aoe skills can be regardless of enemy or friend.

"Don't worry about me." Wei Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes." Xu Qi'an crossed the tea room and walked towards the observation deck, facing the warm sunshine, sinking into his dantian.

In my mind, I visualized the image of the golden lion roaring, combined with the unique method of breathing and luck, he paused for a few seconds, and he went down, and the whole yamen roared heavily.

"Roar!"

This roar didn't sound like a beast's roar, nor did it sound like a human shout, but more like a Jiao Lei blasting a man's yamen.

Rolling sound waves raged.

The officials in the Haoqi building suddenly turned their eyes white, their ears were temporarily deaf, and their eyes were pitch black.

Across the distance, when I heard the roar, an uncontrollable fear surged in my heart.

Countless qi machines gushed out from all over the yamen, and the golden gongs in the yamen were startled, and figures rushed out of the house, gathered in the courtyard, jumped onto the roof, or rushed towards the building of Haoqi.

At this moment, the entire yamen was alarmed.

"Wei, Mr. Wei seems to be making too much noise."

Suddenly, Wei Yuan stared at Xu Qi'an with an embarrassed expression.

This is a male lion. He is slowly sharpening his claws and growing his fangs.

He hasn't fully grown yet, but one day, his roar will shake Kyushu.

PS: Haha, you can complain about the previous chapter, but there is no need to quarrel. If you stay up until three o'clock in the morning, your mind will be muddled, and the quality will definitely be affected. A book with several million words will always have some flaws, and we can't make the chapters perfect, forgive me.

I know that many readers are waiting, especially when I see readers explaining that I have to take the exam tomorrow, I am actually very anxious. I want to finish coding quickly and give everyone an explanation.

Including getting up again at 7 o'clock this morning, sleeping for four hours, and writing another chapter despite being tired, well, everyone, don't stay up late in the future, and I will try not to stay up late to catch up, which will affect the quality.
