Nightwatcher

"Hello!" The girl in yellow skirt named Caiwei, with her beautiful eyes shining, "Why can salt be turned into silver?"

After she finished speaking, she hesitated, took out a sugar cane and handed it to Xu Qi'an: "Here, this is for you to eat."

is this buying me

The two adults had disappeared, Xu Qi'an looked away, thought for a while, and replied: "Caomin once saw the alchemy secrets of turning salt into silver in ancient books."

The girl in the yellow skirt stared wide-eyed: "Which ancient book is where? Who is the author?"

Its name is "High School Chemistry". As for the author, the People's Education Press? Xu Qi'an said: "The ancient books have long been destroyed, but I still remember the contents."

The girl in the yellow skirt took a quick breath: "Quick, tell me quickly."

Xu Qi'an sighed: "The grass people are in danger, and I really don't have the mood to be a teacher."

The girl in the yellow skirt gave him a supercilious look, and said angrily:

"You are a slippery person. Our Si Tianjian does not interfere in the government affairs, so it is up to His Majesty to decide how to deal with you. It is meaningless to bargain with me."

"It's fine if you take me in. With Lord Jianzheng's status in the court, it's no problem to ask for a serial prisoner." Xu Qi'an said.

He has to add an insurance for himself, in case the tax money cannot be recovered.

The girl in the yellow skirt rolled her bright eyes, and looked up and down: "You are obviously a martial artist, why do you want to be a warlock?"

Practice should be done as early as possible, most practitioners have laid the foundation since childhood. Now it's too late for a warrior to turn into a warlock.

"It doesn't matter whether you hug your thigh or not, the main thing is to admire the demeanor of Master Jianzheng." Xu Qi'an's tone was pious, with a serious expression.

"Then you tell me the contents of the ancient alchemy book first." She considered, the girl's eyes are clear and bright, big almond eyes, black pupils, black and white are distinct.

Xu Qi'an had only seen such clean and beautiful eyes in children in her previous life.

"The content is a bit difficult and profound. It's just a dictation. I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it. It needs to be explained in detail before it can be deeply ingrained." Xu Qi'an fished.

Chu Caiwei rolled her eyes, unconvinced: "Looking at the world of Kyushu, when it comes to alchemy, the warlocks of our company are the leaders."

"Helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus" Xu Qi'an knows everything by heart.

"???"

What is he talking about? The girl was stunned for a long time, her brows were upside down: "You're playing tricks on me. Our Si Tianjian accepts disciples, only boys."

She snatched back the sugar cane from Xu Qi'an's hand.

She walked away lightly, her skirt fluttering.

I'm a boy too Xu Qi'an opened his mouth, and then he understood that Si Tianjian started accepting disciples from babies.

Well, there is no way to go this way.

Two days passed in a flash, and Xu Qi'an spent two days in the cell in fear.

He was afraid that the tax bank would not be recovered in time. If it was after he was exiled, even if he recovered, he would not be able to change the ending.

Then, if Chen Fuyin is a black-hearted maggot and takes the credit for himself, it will still be a dead end.

But there is no way, he can only do this, what can a prisoner do?

Xu Qi'an once again felt the horror of the feudal society.

"Let it be fate," Xu Qi'an lamented.

'Bang! '

The iron door at the end of the corridor opened, and a jailer came in holding a fire stick, took out the key and opened the door: "Xu Qi'an, you can go!"

Xu Qi'an was ecstatic and clenched his fists: "Have you found the tax bank?"

"Follow me to sign and pledge, and you can leave." The jailer looked at him: "Your life is really big."

"Then what about my second uncle?" Xu Qi'an asked eagerly.

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow along." The jailer was very irritable, and the fire stick hit Xu Qi'an's hips, and drove him out of the cell.

Under the arrangement of an official in the yamen, he signed and signed a deposit, and then obtained from the jailer the clothes he had pulled out when he was thrown into the prison.

A yamen servant led him out of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and out the back door.

At this time, the sun is twilight in the east, and the streets are cold.

Bang!

Xu Pingzhi was awakened by the sound of the iron door opening, he opened his eyes, the eyeballs were bloodshot.

Xu Pingzhi, who was unkempt and disheveled, had a similar face to Xu Qi'an, but Xu Xinnian, his biological son, had facial features that were too handsome, completely different from them.

In the prison cell across the corridor, Li Ru, who was in a coma, was shaken all over, and then woke up with a start. Her face was haggard, and there was an expression of extreme horror on her face.

The couple looked at each other across a corridor, and Li Ru said sadly, "Master, even if I die, I will not enter the Jiaofang Division."

She is thirty-five years old, well-maintained, and a beautiful woman with excellent charm. Even after five days of fear in the prison, she looks haggard, but she still cannot hide the charm in her eyebrows and eyes.

Where is Jiaofangsi?

It's a woman's hell.

The bruised Xu Pingzhi opened his mouth, unable to speak, and suddenly burst into tears: "Ma'am, I am sorry for you. We husband and wife went to hell together, and in the next life I will be your cow and horse to make up for you. I just feel sorry for the child." , and my nephew."

Five days have passed, and the one who greeted him was the doctor who received the knife, and the one who greeted the family members was Jiaofangsi. In addition to Li Ru, the Xu family also has two daughters, a 28-year-old eldest daughter and a five-year-old youngest daughter.

They were curled up in the corner of the cell, and they were also awakened at this time.

The five-year-old girl rubbed her eyes and murmured "Mother", she knew nothing about her fate.

The sixteen-year-old girl sat up, her disheveled hair set off a fair oval face, her small mouth was thin and rosy, her eyes were big and energetic, her nose was not as small as ordinary women, but straight. As a result, the facial features appear to be particularly three-dimensional, exquisite and beautiful.

There is a kind of static sculpture-like beauty.

She subconsciously leaned towards her mother, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly because of fear.

Several prison guards came in striding forward with bare knives on their waists and hips.

Li Ru's eyes flashed despair and determination.

Xu Pingzhi clenched the fence with both hands, his joints were pale, his steel teeth were clenched tightly, he lost his tax money, and neglected his duties.

Especially the young girl, who is only five years old, will be sent to Jiaofang to be raised, and her life will be dark.

As a parent, how can you be reconciled.

"Xu Pingzhi, come out with me. You can leave after you sign the painting." The jailer opened the cell door, did not put shackles on them, stood in the corridor, knocked on the fence with the end of his knife, and signaled them to come out by themselves.

"Xu Pingzhi has been patriotic and loyal to the emperor all his life, and he is full of loyalty, what did you say?" Second Uncle Xu suspected that he had heard it wrong.

What do you mean?

"Can you leave? You just said that you can leave." Xu Pingzhi couldn't believe it for a moment: "What's going on, didn't you take me out to behead you?"

"I don't know." The jailer said angrily, "This is an order from above, if you want to know, go out and ask yourself."

Li Ru was in a daze, leading his two daughters by the hand, and the family followed the jailer silently, walking towards the end of the corridor.

"Old man, master won't lie to us, will he?"

"How can it be such a joke." Xu Pingzhi was wounded, and he walked with a stick and a limp, but he was also confused, there was the joy of surviving a catastrophe, and he was also at a loss as to not knowing the situation.

Li Ru's heart moved: "It's the New Year, and it must be the New Year that I've been running around in the past few days to help us manage our relationship, so that the imperial court will be lenient."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and she said excitedly, "Master, don't forget, the teacher of the new year is Yuan Jing's 18th year's servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

Xu Pingzhi felt something was wrong in Yuan Jing's 18 years, and he couldn't think of anyone else who he could count on if he didn't have a big backer in the officialdom.

"maybe."

"I said that our family's New Year is a dragon among people. I asked him to practice martial arts back then, but you refused to let that little bastard Xu Qi'an practice martial arts."

"Mother, Tutu is so cute, I want to eat Tutu." The young girl raised her face and gnawed on her little finger, with the word "greedy" written in her eyes.

"I know how to eat all day long." The short-tempered Li Ru subconsciously cursed, looking at the little girl with a dirty face, her expression softened immediately, "Good boy, there will be a rabbit to eat soon."

Xu Pingzhi was too lazy to explain to her that 'your son has no talent for martial arts'. Anyway, no matter how many times you say it, your wife will automatically ignore it.

In the eyes of mothers, sons are always the best.

When he arrived at the place where the signature was drawn, Xu Pingzhi took the pen from the official of the government office, his fingers trembling slightly, after signing the name and pressing the fingerprint, Xu Pingzhi felt that he had gained some kind of sublimation.

It's like a seed that was buried deep in the ground drilled out of the seedling and saw the sun.

The world has suddenly become so beautiful that there is not even a single copper coin left.

The wives and daughters do not need to sign, but just press their fingerprints.

Xu Pingzhi couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I don't know why, I don't know why he spared me my sins."

Li Ru immediately looked at the officials.

"The case has been solved, and the tax money has been recovered." The official replied.

"Have you recovered the tax money? Haha, good, good! Damn evildoer, how dare you rob me of the tax money."

Second Uncle Xu was very excited, and after laughing, he felt that according to Dafeng's law, although the tax money was recovered, it was true that he was negligent.

It is not his credit to recover the tax money, so how could the court spare him the death penalty?

Even if they are given a wide range, they will be exiled to the frontier.

"Master Xu, this is your official robe, put it away." The official presented the green robe of the seventh-rank military officer that had been pulled out earlier.

Xu Pingzhi realized that something was wrong, took the official robe and said in a deep voice: "My lord, can you explain to me?"

With the official robe in his hand, this official's words have a bit of confidence.

It stands to reason that even if the death penalty is spared, it should not be the official reinstatement.

"It is stipulated by the law that if the elders in the family violate the law, the heirs can do the crimes and meritorious deeds of the father." The official said.

"It's really Nian'er, master, Nian'er helped the court recover the tax money." Li Ru wept with joy.

"Nianer" Xu Pingzhi's eyes were moist: "My good son."

The officials glanced at the excited couple, "It's your nephew Xu Qi'an, he helped Mr. Fu Yin solve the tax and bank case, and he just left."
