Nightwatcher

"Pfft..." Upon hearing this, Chen Tai, who was drinking tea, spit out directly.

Li Mubai and Zhang Shen froze together, turned their heads suddenly, and stared at Xu Qi'an.

"Isn't the poet Yang Ling?"

The little brother is itchy, he sold me so quickly, so Xu Qi'an bit the bullet: "It's my alias."

"really?"

"really!"

The two still didn't believe it, and asked, "What are you going to Jiaofang Division for?"

Xu Qi'an sat upright and said, "Young man Mu Ai."

The room suddenly fell into silence, and the three Confucians felt their chests were clogged with blood, and they wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

A few seconds later, Zhang Shen stood up, pointed to Xu Qian's nose, "You, you"

He turned around in the room, anxious: "Qiangu Juechang, you use it on a prostitute, is she worthy? Is she worthy?"

Yes, yes, it's good to use it on you. Xu Qi'an slandered in his heart, but made a gesture of listening to the teacher's admonition on the surface.

Li Mubai was also emotional, "Ying Mei is just chanting Mei, "Shadow Plum Pavilion Presents Floating Fragrance" is simply vulgar and unbearably vulgar. It has ruined a good poem."

If you can change it to "Mr. Mu Bai from Yunlu Academy", you should be able to laugh like a pig, right? Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

It is indeed a waste to use two lines of poems that have become famous throughout the ages on a prostitute. But things can't just look at the surface. If this poem didn't win the favor of Fuxiang Huakuan, how could he get useful information?

How to frame Zhou Li?

Don't frame Zhou Li, what if Zhou's servant survives, what if the political opponents don't defeat him?

What will happen to welcome the Xu family.

The poems were originally copied, so I don't feel bad. Besides, if you can't solve the current troubles, what's the use of having more inventory in your stomach?

No matter how good poetry is, it is only useful if it can be exchanged for tangible benefits.

Chen Tai sighed in his heart. At first he was surprised and didn't believe that Yang Ling was Xu Qi'an's pseudonym, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it reasonable.

This kind of poetic talent, how could it be said that it appeared as soon as it appeared.

"Li Mubai and Zhang Shen can accept him as a disciple, so can I. Since I have two teachers, why can't I have three?" Chen Daru secretly decided, looking for opportunities to take this talented poet under his seat in the future.

After a lot of verbal bombardment, Xu Qi'an obediently admitted his mistake, and promised that there will be good poems and lyrics in the future, and he will let the two teachers revise them first.

Li Mubai and Zhang Shencai managed to calm down.

Apart from the remorse of passing by the famous poem handed down by the two great Confucian scholars, they really felt that Xu Qi'an used this poem on an oiran of the Jiaofang, which was a waste.

Violence.

Xu Niannian was quite conscientious, so he came out to smooth things over at the right time, and changed the subject: "Young girl has been enlightened in the academy for many days, I wonder if it will be effective?"

The three great scholars looked at each other, and Chen Tai couldn't help laughing out loud: "That sister of yours is really determined and indestructible."

Zhang Shen said helplessly: "The husband who taught her has changed four times in one ten days."

Li Mubai added: "They all swear that they will not enlighten children in this life."

Xu bid farewell to the old Xu Ning banquet: ""

In the small courtyard, the family reunited after a long absence.

The aunt happily welcomed her husband and baby son, and the second uncle also hugged his young daughter and wife happily.

When Xu Lingyin saw her father, she felt sad and hugged his leg for a while.

Uncle Xu felt sorry for her for a while, thinking that her daughter had suffered a lot in the academy, and the teachers of the academy must be very strict.

Xu Lingyue, who was wearing an indigo robe, was standing on one side, watching this scene with a slight smile on the girl's thin melon-seeded face.

She is too old to throw herself into her father's arms without any scruples like Xiao Douding, and she is not the eldest son, nor is she loved by her parents like her elder brother.

Children caught in the middle have always been more awkward.

"I haven't seen you in ten days, my sister has lost a lot." Xu Qi'an walked over, took his sister's catkin, and examined it carefully.

The slender waist tied with the belt was grasped tightly, and the chest began to swell, and the girl's budding figure was particularly alluring.

The melon-seeded face and big eyes are flawless when viewed from a distance or up close. It lacks a bit of femininity, but it has the pure beauty and agility of a girl.

Xu Lingyue subconsciously twitched her hand, and held back again. The temperature of her elder brother's palm made her face flushed, her eyes rippling, and she softly called out: "Brother"

On the way home, Xu Lingyue proposed for the first time that she wanted to ride a horse, but because she didn't know how to ride a horse, after getting her father's consent, she and Xu Qi'an rode together.

The sun is warm and the wind is cool on the face. Riding a horse in winter is like driving a motorcycle in the cold winter without wearing a helmet.

After all, Xu Lingyue is a woman, tightly huddled in Xu Qi'an's arms, looking at the surrounding scenery with sparkling eyes, feeling a sense of security that she has never had before.

Xu Xinian also has a younger sister in his arms.

"Second brother, I'm going to vomit right now"

"Then go back to the carriage."

"I don't want to, I want to ride on your neck."

Xu Erlang frowned at Xiao Douding's annoyance.

The aunt in the carriage opened the curtain, revealing her beautiful face.

"Master, did you go out to fool around while I was away from the mansion?"

Xu Xinian and Xu Qi'an said in unison: "No."

Auntie looked at the two of them a few times, but she didn't mean to ask you, just talking too much.

Three days later, Hugh Mu.

In the early morning, Xu Qi'an was fiddling with the small jade mirror, and the ghostly shadows of military crossbows, bronze mirrors, and plain knives appeared on the mirror, like a painting with blurred brushstrokes.

This mirror is temporarily used by him as a storage bag. Miscellaneous things were put in all at once.

When I came to the main house, I had breakfast. At the dining table, Xu Lingyue said with an expectant expression, "Brother, take a rest today, go out for a stroll with me."

Second Uncle Xu remembered the incident of Zhou Li galloping his horse a while ago, frowned and said, "I'm going to take a rest today too, Lingyue, daddy will go out with you."

Xu Lingyue pondered for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it, I suddenly feel dizzy."

Uncle Xu: "???"

Listen to music in the morning, go home and take a nap at noon, and go to the black market in the evening, I have to hurry up and break through to the qi training realm Xu Qi'an.

At this time, the concierge Lao Zhang hurriedly came to report and stood in front of the hall: "Master, two servants have come outside the door."

"Master?" Xu Pingzhi took a sip of porridge and asked casually, "Where is the master?"

Xu Erlang said: "Brother, is that your colleague?"

Xu Qi'an didn't care much: "Probably not."

Old Zhang, the concierge, said: "I don't know about the villains, but they are dressed in black and have strange gongs tied to their chests."

The Xu family's three men shook their hands and looked at each other silently, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Hit more people!

"Welcome in quickly." Xu Pingzhi got up quickly and walked to the front hall.

Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian followed behind, their thoughts changed sharply, thinking about the purpose of the door-stopper.

In the Dafeng Dynasty, the word "beater" was not a good meaning. It was often linked to bloody words such as questioning crimes, going to prison, and ransacking homes.

But ask yourself, with Second Uncle Xu's rank, the watchman should be looked down upon.

Soon, the three met the visiting watchman in the front hall.

The two were dressed in standard black clothes, with short capes hanging behind them, and a gong engraved with complicated mantras was tied to their chests.

The two watchmen are not very old, they are young, and the one on the left has a serious face and a serious expression. The one on the right is just the opposite, with a smile on his face and narrowed eyes.

The young man who smiled and squinted his eyes glanced at the three Xu family masters, and said with a smile, "Which one is Xu Qi'an?"

Xu Qi'an took a step forward, "I am."

The squint-eyed young man nodded slightly: "Come with us."

Xu Pingzhi frowned, and stood in front of Xu Qian, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "My lords, what did my nephew do wrong?"

The serious-faced young man frowned.

The other smiled and said, "Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of beating people at night."

With the style of beating people, if he resists arrest, will he draw a knife and chop people on the spot? Xu Qi'an put one hand on his second uncle's shoulder, looked at the two watchmen: "Okay, I'll go with you."

He left Xu's mansion with the watchman, and there was a carriage parked at the door, and the watchman with a serious face pointed to the carriage, signaling Xu Qi'an to go in.

The young man who was always smiling took off the gong on his chest, knocked it hard, and said loudly in a loud voice: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles!"

The yamen where the guards were sent was in the inner city, which was far away from Xu's mansion, and it would take several hours to walk, so arranging a carriage for Xu Qi'an was not because he had any special treatment, but just to save time.

A serious shifter drove the car, and in the carriage, Xu Qi'an sat face to face with the young man with a warm smile.

What did the caller ask me for? For Zhou Li's case? Impossible, I don't guarantee a perfect crime, but I can guarantee that the Dafeng Dynasty, which has no monitoring facilities, can't find out that I kidnapped Miss Zhang Jiaer. Even if there are clues, they won't lock me so quickly

Xu Qi'an reached into his bosom, lightly clasped the back of the jade mirror, poured out a bank note, took it out and took a look, the denomination was ten taels, he was relieved.

Sincerely handing over the silver ticket, he said: "The villain is a good citizen who respects the public and abides by the law. He admires the great man for the country and the people, and his hard work. I will offer you ten taels of silver and invite you to drink tea.

"If the adults can tell the villain what happened, the villain will be grateful."

The watchman's eyes fell on the bank note, and he squinted his eyes and smiled harmlessly: "The watchman has strict rules and regulations. If you accept bribes exceeding ten taels, you will be punished with a rod at fifty. If you exceed fifty taels, you will be exiled. If you exceed one hundred taels Two, beheading.

"Obviously, I don't need to be punished for ten taels of silver."

Xu Qi'an showed an embarrassing smile, and was about to take back the money, but the young man with squinted eyes said leisurely: "If you want to get information from me, you need to pay more!"

Xu Qi'an handed over thirty taels without fumes.

The young man smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he put the two silver bills in his arms, and handed out the other one: "I received thirty taels, you and I each have ten taels, and the remaining ten taels, I will go to teach tonight." Fangsi is playing tea circle. It happens to be five taels for one person."

The unsmiling young man took the bank note and gave a deep "hmm".

The squinting-eyed young man crossed his legs and smiled at Xu Qi'an: "Rules are very important, but when everyone ignores the rules tacitly, if you are too serious, you will be excluded instead."
