Xu Lingyue guessed that she was just overthinking, and she was a rather dull person, so she had been suppressing her emotions in her heart. When she saw her eldest brother return safely, she finally felt relieved and cried loudly.
It was not until the maid walked out of the door and looked at the brother and sister hugging each other that she shouted in surprise: "Is Dalang out of prison?"
Xu Lingyue only rembered that she was an unmarried girl at this ti. She broke away from her eldest brother's arms, sobbing, hanging her head and standing, her face was as red as a fire.
Xu Qi'an took his sister's hand and entered the boudoir. The maid made tea for him and stood aside to listen to Dalang and the eldest lady talking.
"Go and inform the servants to boil so hot water. I want to take a bath." Xu Qi'an ordered.
The maid went out to pass the ssage, but when the servants heard it, their faces changed drastically and they shook their heads to refuse.
The maid went back to tell Dalang with grievance, and Xu Dalang was also very angry, thinking that you servants are too arrogant, or I, Xu Dalang, can't lift the knife.
"Then you help to boil water." Xu Qi'an said.
The maid felt even more aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refuse, and left with a pout.
Xu Qi'an turned around and smiled at Xu Lingyue: "Your Majesty allowed to make up for my mistakes, I'm fine for the ti being."
Xu Lingyue nodded, her delicate face a little haggard, "How did big brother fight with his colleagues."
Xu Qi'an then briefly recounted the whole thing, and Xu Lingyue was very angry when she heard it, and clenched her fists: "Big brother, I always trust you when you do things."
She showed a brilliant smile, and her eyes were full of pride.
She was so bright and moving in an instant that Xu Qi'an couldn't help pinching her face.
Xu Lingyue lowered her head shyly.
After bathing, Xu Qian'an and Xu Lingyin put on the night watchman uniform and sat under the eaves, sitting in a row, each holding a big bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles.
This scene is harmonious and warm.
Xu Qian'an said: "Lingyin, brother will exchange at for eggs with you, okay?"
Xu Lingyin thought about it and shook her head: "No, mother said that brother cheated of stead buns last ti."
"Then do you think brother cheated you?"
She tilted her head and thought seriously: "Forgot."
Xu Qian'an said: "So, how could brother cheat you? Brother definitely doesn't want to cheat you of eggs. Brother just..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Lingyin "Pooh" twice at the egg noodles.
Xu Qian'an looked dazed.
Xu Lingyin said: "Second brother taught ."
.....Scholars are really not good people! Xu Qian'an lowered his head to eat and gave up his younger sister's eggs.
But he was an and threatened: "Lingyin, you can't eat this noodle, it's poisonous." "Ah?" Xu Lingyin widened her eyes, looked at the bowl on her legs, and then looked at her elder brother, in doubt.
Xu Qian'an patiently explained to her, popularizing scientific knowledge: "You fell down before and your skin was scratched. Did your father use saliva to wipe your wound?"
Xu Lingyin nodded.
Xu Qian'an said: "This is because saliva can...well, it can kill dirty things. From this, it can be inferred that once saliva leaves the mouth, it is poisonous. From this, it can be inferred that your egg noodles are poisonous and can't be eaten."
After he finished speaking, he watched Xu Lingyin's little face turn pale little by little.
"Will I die then?" Xu Lingyin asked with a pursed mouth and tears in her eyes.
"I won't die, but I will have a stomachache for many days." Xu Qian'an said.
Xu Lingyin nodded and continued to eat noodles with peace of mind. Xu Qiyan: "???"
.....
After finishing the noodles, he ca to Xu Erlang's room and found his jade mirror in the study. Xu Qiyan put it in his arms and accidentally found a few pages of paper that Erlang had placed on the corner of the table, weighed down by a paperweight.
The paper was densely written with sloppy handwriting, which was an analysis of Xu Qiyan's situation and an assessnt of whether the Sitianjian and Yunlu Academy could have an effect.
It was probably the idea that he wrote down casually while sitting in the study in the dead of
night.
The little brother is still quite capable...Xu Qiyan smiled and left the study.
He rushed back to the governnt office and went straight to see Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan had been waiting for a long ti, pointed to the seat next to Yang Yan, and said gently: "Sit down."
Yang Yan handed over a file expressionlessly.
Wei Yuan said, "I'll let Jinyutang, Chunfengtang, Zhenxietang work together to handle this case. You'll be the chief officer!"
Xu Qian'an was surprised.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty gave the order personally."
Their eyes t, and Xu Qian'an suddenly understood that Wei Yuan wanted to promote him through this incident... directly appoint him as the chief officer, not to assist in the case.
Xu Qian'an unfolded the file, read it carefully, and asked directly, "Is there sothing sealed under the Mulberry Lake?"
Wei Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange color.
Yang Yan's face, which had always been expressionless, also showed a look of surprise.
Wei Yuan told him the truth that sothing was sealed in the Mulberry Lake this morning, and Nangong Qianrou, who was smarter than him, also had so guesses after the incident in the Mulberry Lake last night, thinking of the fact that his adoptive father was looking up information and files in the warehouse that day, but she didn't dare to confirm it.
Until this morning, his adoptive father told them the truth frankly.
But this little gong actually directly revealed that sothing was sealed under Sangpo.
Wei Yuan suppressed his surprised expression and said with a smile: "Tell your
reasoning."
Xu Qian'an was guilty and wanted to show himself in front of Wei Yuan. He said: "Although Sangpo is a forbidden place in our Dafeng, for outsiders, the only valuable thing is probably the Sword of the Nation."
At this point, he looked at the file: "But it says that the Sword of the Nation is fine. Then the thieves' target is sothing else.
"So I guess, there must be sothing in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple? And why is this thing placed in Sangpo? I would like to make another bold guess, maybe that thing
needs the Sword of the Nation to seal it."
Xu Qi'an actually reversed the process after knowing the answer.
His clear thinking and ticulous logic won Yang Yan the task, and he appreciated and valued
this little copper gong under his command more and more.
Not only is he talented, but he is also smart and capable, and worthy of cultivation.
"Duke Wei knows it, right..." Xu Qi'an tried.
Wei Yuan shook his head calmly: "Your Majesty didn't say it clearly, but I have so guesses in my mind..." His face was serious and his tone contained a warning:
"Your task is to find out who blew up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple. Recovering that thing has nothing to do with you. If you encounter troubles that cannot be solved, just tell Yang Jinluo, and he will co forward.
"Your Majesty has given you a gold dal, which allows you to walk in the imperial city. Except for the harem and a few special places, you can go unimpeded with this dal."
Xu Qi'an took the order and left.
Wei Yuan watched him leave, and heard the light footsteps coming from the stairs, and
looked at Yang Yan: "I heard that the supervisor is sick?"
Yang Yan nodded.
Wei Yuan's eyes were calm, and he was silent for a long ti: "Old thing!"
.....
After leaving Haoqi Tower, Xu Qian'an went straight to Chunfeng Hall and said: "Boss, imdiately summon the two silver gongs from Jinyutang Zhenxietang to gather in the front yard of the yan, hurry up!"
Li Yuchun was confused, and after a while, he glared and said: "You are the boss, and I am the
boss?"
The little brother actually bossed him around.
Xu Qian'an showed his gold dal: "I am now the chief officer appointed by His Majesty.
From now on, we will talk about our own affairs. I call you the boss, and you call the
master.
"Boss, please ask the two silver gongs for the master. "
Li Yuchun left in frustration. Everyone talked about their own things? I always felt that
sothing was strange.
The silver gong of Zhenxie Hall was nad Yang Feng. He was a tall, thin middle-aged man with dark skin and a big black mole between his eyebrows.
The silver gong of Jinyu Hall was a bearded man nad Min Shan. He had a slanting scar on
his cheek, and looked particularly ferocious.
Together with Li Yuchun of Chunfeng Hall, the three silver gongs and twelve bronze gongs quickly gathered in front of the courtyard.
According to the "custom" of the yan, before going out to handle a case, they must gather
in the front yard, and the chief officer will take the lead in giving a speech to inspire people.
At the sa ti, it is also done for the other night watchn to see. "There was an explosion in Sangpo last night, and the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was destroyed. His Majesty was furious and ordered the yan to find out the truth and catch
the thief within half a month. "Xu Qiyan held the knife with one hand, his posture was straight, his eyes were sharp:
"I am following the order of His Majesty to personally investigate this case. You all should work together to handle it. You must go all out to repay the emperor's grace."
Xu Qiyan added in his heart: If the club is handled well, the young model will be killed, and if
it is not handled well, the head will be beheaded at Caishikou.
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Because they were all Yinluo and Tongluo under Yang Yan, everyone was quite obedient, but
so were not convinced, thinking that Xu Qiyan, a Tongluo, had no experience and ability to
handle such a big thing.
I don't know why His Majesty would appoint him as the chief officer of the case.
Leaving the night watchman's office, Min Yinluo, who had a beard on his horse, asked: "Lord
Xu, where are we going?"
"Of course, to the scene. "Xu Qiyan said.
The group rode their horses to the imperial city and chose the most ti-saving route:
crossing the imperial city.
In fact, they could also bypass the imperial city to investigate the scene. Xu Qiyan relied on
the gold dal in his hand and did whatever he could to save ti.
In any case, racing against ti is the first principle. Under the leadership of the imperial army, the night watchn ca to Sangpo. The scenery
here changed drastically. The corridor connecting the shore had been destroyed in the explosion, and the white marble platform in the center of the lake disappeared out of thin air.
The surface of Sangpo was clean and there was nothing. Who would have thought that a grand ceremony of ancestor worship was held here a few days ago.
There was a small boat moored by the lake. Xu Qiyan said: "Let's go over and take a look. We
have to go into the water. "
Xu Qian'an jumped onto the boat first, quietly reached into his arms, pressed the back of the
jade mirror, poured out the "magic book" given by the great scholar, tore off one of the pages, and held it in his hand.
Other silver gongs then boarded the boat, leaving twelve bronze gongs and a line of imperial guards on the shore.
Li Yuchun rowed to the center of the lake.
The tall and thin Yang Feng Yang Yinluo glanced at Xu Qian'an and suddenly said, "Master Xu,
I'll go down."
Xu Qi'an said: "Then you can go into the water with ."
As he said that, he ignited the paper and started the Qi-gazing technique. Clang... He drew out his sword, held it in his mouth, and jumped into the water.
The cold lake water stimulated his pores, and a series of tiny bubbles erged from the corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth holding the black gold long sword.
He tried his best to open his eyes and observe the situation under the water. The foundation of the white marble platform extended all the way to the bottom of the lake,
and the fracture of the collapsed platform was more than ten feet away from the water
surface.
The sound of undercurrent ca, and Xu Qi'an looked back and saw that it was Yang Yinluo who followed him.
Yang Yinluo, who had dark skin, also observed the collapse of the white marble platform and
imdiately made a judgnt in his heart. He suppressed his reasoning in his heart and planned to test this small bronze gong entrusted with an important task after going ashore.
At this ti, Yang Yinluo found Xu Qian'an diving into the water along the foundation of the
white marble platform.
He hurried to follow him. The further he went down, the blurrier his vision beca, until
there was only darkness.
Yang Yinluo stopped following him and floated up by himself.
"Wow~"
He jumped out of the water, climbed onto the boat, and while using his luck to evaporate the
cold lake water, he looked around at everyone:
"Master Xu went to the bottom of the lake. It was pitch black there, and nothing could be
seen."
