Nightwatcher

Uncle Xu’s information is as follows:

"Zhou Li has been very quiet these past few days, probably because he was warned by Zhou Shilang, and he did not do any illegal or undisciplined behavior. He indulged in sensuality with a group of yamen all day long, going in and out of gambling houses, restaurants, Jiaofang Secretary and other places.

"In addition, during the follow-up process, I discovered that Zhou Li frequently entered and exited a certain house. There was no plaque on that house. It should be a private house he bought outside. There lived a maid, a woman, and an old man who was a gatekeeper. There is also a woman.

"Nine times out of ten, that woman was raised by him outside."

Xu New Year and Xu Qi'an listened silently, each in a different state of contemplation, Xu Qi'an looked down at the ground, and tapped his fingertips on the table unconsciously.

Xu Xinian looked up to the roof at a forty-five degree angle, Wushuang was tucked in his sleeves, as if in a daze.

Second Uncle Xu finished speaking, looked at his nephew and son, and said, "What do you think?"

The nephew and son tacitly ignored him, looked at each other, and Xu Xinian said: "The students in our college are not the same as the students in the Imperial College, they despise and hostile to each other.

However, juren in the same period occasionally get together. The orthodoxy is opposite, but individuals can have friendship. "

Juren in the same period can be regarded as half of the classmates. If the relationship is established, it may not be unusable in the future. As for the orthodox dispute, compared with personal interests, it has to be left behind.

"Zhou Li is an arrogant and domineering person. He has had quarrels and conflicts with many of his classmates in the Imperial College. But he is by no means a fool. Those who have quarrels with him have ordinary backgrounds."

Xu Qi'an was not surprised by this. From Zhou Li's methods of dealing with him, it can be analyzed that this yamen's way of handling affairs is not clever, but it is effective, and has a certain degree of scheming and city government.

His arrogance and domineering only target people with lower background and influence than himself.

"This undoubtedly increases the difficulty for us to deal with him." Xu Qi'an sighed.

Xu Nian glanced at him: "Don't interrupt, listen to me.

"Zhou Li has been infatuated with Miss Fuxiang from the Jiaofang Division for a long time. Whenever he goes to the Jiaofang Division, he must look for Miss Fuxiang. But he has repeatedly failed in the 'Da Chawei'."

Fragrance girl? The oiran of the Jiaofang Division? Wang Butou said that a beauty who sleeps for one night is worth a lifetime? Xu Qi'an's spirit lifted.

Xu Nian raised his teacup, glanced at the empty cup, put it down again helplessly, and said:

"I originally thought that I could play the game of driving tigers and swallowing wolves again. Using Zhou Li's conflicts with his classmates to make plans, but those classmates were not enough, and with Zhou Li's prudence, it was too difficult for him to mess with higher-level yamen. Large, almost impossible to achieve.

"Zhou Li has gone to the Jiaofang Division very many times. If you want to get more information, that girl Fuxiang is an excellent breakthrough."

Dudu Xu Qi'an knocked on the table.

When Xu Ershu and Xu Erlang looked over, he said in a deep voice: "I must remind you of one thing, no matter what time we have to do subtraction, the more complicated the plan, the more loopholes.

"To deal with Zhou Li, it is impossible for us to have too complicated and sophisticated plans, because the gap between them is too great. Goodbye, don't fall into the wrong thinking."

Scholars are most likely to be clever and misunderstood by cleverness. When calculating people, it will make it more difficult for themselves to think about the subtlety of the layout and the superb means.

Especially Xu Cijiu, who has a high self-esteem and is familiar with the art of war.

Xu Cijiu frowned, a little agreed, but a little unconvinced: "What's the big brother's opinion?"

"Simple, the simpler the better." Xu Qi'an thought about it: "The crime that really has no trace is murder of passion, and we should do the same when we make plans."

"How simple? First, don't involve too many people, and second, don't make things too complicated. Farewell, if Zhou Li had a conflict with a certain yamen, and the father of that yamen happened to be able to wrestle with Zhou Shilang, what will you do?"

Xu New Year fell into deep thought.

"Okay, your silence speaks for itself." Xu Qi'an waved his hand, interrupting the younger brother's thinking. There must have been a lot of scheming and conspiracy in the younger brother's mind.

"My idea is that we can disguise ourselves, seize the opportunity to beat up the yamen directly, and walk away."

Xu Pingzhi finally seized the opportunity to interrupt, and slapped his thigh: "Ning Yan's idea is my favorite."

The two brothers rolled their eyes at the same time.

Xu Cijiu frowned and said, "Is it that simple?"

Xu Qi'an nodded: "Simple doesn't mean it's ineffective. More often than not, it's beneficial to leave blank. The yamen who was beaten would think, who has he offended recently? After thinking about it, oh, it's that bastard Zhou Li.

"As for this kind of thing, Zhou Li will definitely not admit it, but it's not important. Everyone is free to testify. Anyway, the conflict has intensified. If you hit me, I will take revenge."

Xu Cijiu is a smart person with a high level of comprehension, and after thinking about it for a while, he can understand what big brother means.

He nodded slightly, with a proud expression: "Not bad."

Added: "What information did the elder brother collect?"

Xu Qi'an didn't show off, and said: "I found out who Zhou Shilang's political opponent is."

Xu New Year and Second Uncle Xu leaned over at the same time, their faces suddenly became serious, and they assumed a listening posture.

Xu Qi'an sneered: "Shangshu of the Household Department."

Hubu Shangshu? ! Xu Xinian's heart was shocked, and many doubts were solved in an instant.

No wonder Zhou Shilang of the Household Department wants to plan for taxation, because he knows that he is about to be put on by his immediate boss and urgently needs a huge sum of money to make up for the shortfall.

And it is precisely because they are both in the household department that the household secretary can catch Zhou Shilang's fox tail.

"Ning Yan, how did you know such a thing?" Second Uncle Xu was a little incredulous.

How could an idler have a channel to know about the battle between the big bosses in the court?

"Miss Caiwei from Sitianjian told me." Xu Qi'an said.

And the price is only one candied haws, one roast goose leg, one serving of fermented rice balls and a bowl of fish ball soup, he silently added in his heart.

Big-eyed beauties are easy to buy, which is an advantage. The disadvantage is that she has no interest in state affairs, and Si Tianjian does not interfere in state affairs, so her knowledge is limited.

This is very bad, Miss Caiwei, you lack a copy of "Self-cultivation of Xu Dalang's virtuous wife", I will write it to you later.

Xu Qi'an clapped his hands, interrupted his cousin who was in deep thought, and said:

"It seems that the information we have collected is not enough to make a detailed plan, but it's okay, one bite can't make you fat, what should you do next?"

Xu Nian thought for a while: "I suggest going to the Jiaofang Division. I will definitely not be able to inquire about the news from the oiran Fuxiang. I never go to the place of fireworks."

It is common for officials to prostitute themselves, but for students without official status, it is another set of standards.

You haven't come to the end of the imperial examination, and you want to play with women? It is unreliable at first glance, so don't even think about having a good future in the future.

It's like when I was studying in the past, the parents didn't let the students play games online. If any student spends all day in Internet cafes, he is a quasi-social scum. Xu Qi'an leaned back on his chair, looked to the side, and said in a relaxed tone:

"I definitely can't go, because I haven't stepped into the Qi training state yet."

So here comes the question, who is in charge of going to the Jiaofang Division to inquire about the news?

The two brothers tacitly set their sights on Uncle Xu.

"Look at me, am I the one who will go to Jiaofangsi? I don't even know the words, so I am going to make fun of myself?" Uncle Xu said that he is not the kind of person who misses the place of fireworks.

Seeing his father's reluctance, Xu Xinnian threw the blame on Xu Qi'an again: "Brother's poem is very popular in Jiaofang Division."

Uncle Xu immediately vetoed his son's proposal, frowned and said, "Your elder brother is an honest man who doesn't even go to the fence, let him go to the Jiaofang Division to inquire, and don't get stuck in it when the time comes. The woman in the fence has taken it."

For a martial artist at the peak of refining, it is indeed a huge loss to break his body before stepping into the Qi training state.

Xu Qi'an, who never went to Goulan to listen to music, nodded, expressing that he was not that kind of person.

Uncle Xu said, "If you don't want to say goodbye to the old days, you can go." He still thinks that a place like Jiaofangsi should be suitable for scholars.

This is an inherent concept.

Xu Cijiu snorted.

Uncle Xu refused to go to the Jiaofang Division. There was another reason besides that it was the territory of literati and he didn't like rough blanks.

There is another reason for Xu Cijiu's refusal to go to the Jiaofang Division, besides the fact that students should pay attention to reputation and reputation.

Xu Qi'an refused to go to the Jiaofang Division. Apart from never going to Goulan to listen to music, there was another reason.

Social death!

The three looked at each other and fell silent.
