Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Xu Cijiu: Selling Myself to Save My Big Brother

Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Xu Cijiu: Selling Myself to Save My Big BrotherAfter the people left, Yang Yan frowned, sat at the table, took the tea handed by Wei Yuan, and didn't drink it for a long time.

Nangong Qianrou rolled her eyes and asked for him: "Adoptive father, do you really want to kill that kid?"

Yang Yan immediately looked at Wei Yuan.

"Is there anything wrong with my punishment?" Wei Yuan asked back.

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan shook their heads at the same time, the former smiled playfully: "Yes, it's right, but is the adoptive father willing to kill him?"

Wei Yuan drank a sip of tea and sighed: "I once said that he was a natural warrior, that kind of spirit is rare."

How long has he entered the Qi training realm after severely injuring the silver gong in the Refining Spirit Realm with a knife?

Wei Yuan's smile was full of appreciation, and more of satisfaction.

Chunfeng Hall.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao followed Li Yuchun back dejectedly, and Chun Ge was extremely silent all the way.

He had been waiting downstairs, waiting for the result, and received the news that Xu Qi'an would be beheaded seven days later.

Li Yuchun came back with two men without saying a word.

"Drink with me for a while. I know you two have hidden wine, and drink it secretly while on duty."

Li Yuchun's voice was emotionless, and it was frighteningly calm.

Song Tingfeng opened his mouth and uttered two words: "Okay."

Li Yuchun was a conservative and paranoid person. The familiar Yinluo said that he was conservative, and the unfamiliar Yinluo laughed at him for not being able to adapt.

But no matter whether they were familiar or not, no one in the yamen really looked down on him. On the contrary, they all admired him, even if they would not say it.

Li Yuchun's conservativeness was reflected in all aspects, such as never drinking while on duty.

Song Tingfeng took the wine he had hidden from the side hall, three porcelain bowls, one of which was originally Xu Qi'an's.

Li Yuchun was not quick to drink, but he drank one bowl after another without speaking.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao drank silently.

A jar of wine was quickly finished. Li Yuchun said under the influence of alcohol: "I know that Duke Wei has his difficulties. Xu Qiyan did do something wrong.

"What's wrong with humiliating a woman of a convicted official? It's not a crime punishable by death. He was a fool and almost killed someone, and he chopped a silver gong."

Li Yuchun opened the chatterbox and chattered: "I thought I was stupid enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be even stupider than me. I should have known not to accept him earlier. It's annoying.

"What can Duke Wei do? Even if his qualifications are... better, the matter has become so big, and the people in the whole government are watching. Is it possible to be openly partial? Where is Duke Wei's prestige? It takes years to build a reputation, but it only takes a moment to destroy it. If you are partial to Xu Qiyan, who will obey Duke Wei in the future? "Okay, now one is dismissed and the other is beheaded. Deal with it impartially, hehe, hehe.

"For a long time to come, people in the yamen will behave themselves. Xu Qi'an's death was not unjust and was worth it."

Li Yuchun returned the bowl to Song Tingfeng and cursed, "What a broken bowl, the blue and white are not symmetrical."

Song Tingfeng took a closer look and realized that the blue and white on the bowl he had been drinking from for more than half a year was really asymmetrical.

After finishing the wine, he was in no mood to continue chatting, so he and Zhu Guangxiao returned to the side hall in silence.

In the quiet Chunfeng Hall, Li Yuchun sat for a long time, slowly got up, walked to the corner, picked up the feather duster, and wiped every place in the hall that was prone to dust accumulation.

Repeatedly put the books, vases, tables and chairs in order to make them neat and symmetrical.

Then, he took off his waist badge and sword, and took off the night watchman's uniform.

The uniform was folded neatly, and the sword and waist pendant were placed on it. Li Yupei held them and walked out of Chunfeng Hall. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He walked all the way to Haoqi Tower.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many Tongluo people, who pointed at him and whispered about him.

Among these people, some had heard about Xu Qian'an's knife-slashing of Zhu Chengzhu, while others knew nothing and were just curious.

"What happened?"

"Haven't you heard that Zhu Yinluo was almost chopped by a Tongluo? The one who chopped him was Xu Qian'an, mmph, Li Yinluo's men."

"What does Li Yinluo want to do?"

"I don't know, let's follow him and see."

Three or five, seven or eight... The number of night watchmen following Li Yuchun gradually increased, forming a large group.

All the way to Haoqi Tower.

Li Yuchun stopped in the vigilant and warning eyes of the guards downstairs. He held his uniform, waist badge, and sword in both hands, and ignored the followers behind him.

"I am Li Yuchun. I have been working in the government office since Yuan Jing 20 years ago. I have always been conscientious and fulfilled my duties. I believe in eliminating corrupt officials and serve the country." Li Yuchun said in a loud voice:

"I have worked diligently for 16 years and have never violated the law; I have never accepted bribes; I have never oppressed the good. I thought that my passion could bring peace and

prosperity.

"However, in the past 16 years, I have witnessed many colleagues oppressing the people and blackmailing merchants. Whenever they raided their homes, they would embezzle money and property and rape the wives of the officials. This is intolerable.

"How can you enforce the law if you don't have the law in your heart? How can you correct others if you are not upright yourself? Today, Li Yuchun can't bear it anymore, so I resign and

leave, or you can kill me."

After saying the last sentence, he threw his uniform, sword, and badge on the ground with all his strength, discarding them like old shoes in the stunned eyes of the night watchmen

around him.

Li Yuchun, who slapped Wei Yuan in the face in public in Haoqi Building, turned and left. No one of the dozens of night watchmen stopped him or said anything.

"Should we stop him?" someone asked in a low voice.

The night watchmen around him stared at him coldly.

.....

Xu Qiyan, wearing prison clothes, sat in the prison of the night watchman's office, with his back against the wall, sniffing the unique damp and rotten smell in the cell.

"I've been to prison for the third time. I was a policeman in my previous life, and I'm a frequent visitor to the cell in this life." Xu Qiyan smiled self-deprecatingly, sighing that fate

is unpredictable.

The cell was silent, and occasionally there would be the curses of the prisoners next door, and

most people usually kept silent.

Most of the prisoners imprisoned here are death row prisoners, and they are discouraged. At the beginning, they would cry out for injustice and curse, but after being taken out by the jailer guarding the cell for a friendly conversation, they knew how to behave.

They also understood the principle of keeping quiet in public places.

No one wants to suffer inhumane torture before death.

Xu Qian'an closed his eyes, thinking whether he still had a chance to survive.

"The great scholars of Yunlu Academy may come to make trouble, but they are civilians without official positions, and official means will not work. Physical means will not work either, after all, this is the night watchman's office."

"The sorcerer of the Sitianjian will definitely try to save me, but unless the chief supervisor comes forward, he can't save me. And for the chief supervisor to come forward, my status is not enough...Xu Qian'an, Xu Qian'an, you have tasted the warmth of Naizi from Fuxiang, have you forgotten the coldness of society? It has been two months and you still haven't hooked

Chu Caiwei up."

"The fragments of the Earth Book have also been searched away, otherwise I can try to let No. 1 save me. I don't know if his (her) status is enough..."

Thinking about it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the cell was silent and there was a dark

night outside the small window.

Sleep made up for the physical strength he lost when performing "Heaven and Earth Slash",

but the price was hunger.

With the help of the dim oil lamp in the passage, Xu Qi'an saw a bowl of white rice placed by the fence, and two fat-headed and big-eared mice were eating with relish.

"Fuck, damn Shukebeta, you stole my food."

Xu Qi'an cursed.

There was no food to eat, so he had to sit cross-legged and meditate.

After an unknown amount of time, it was dawn.

Footsteps came from the dark passage, and two jailers came over and opened the door of the

cell.

Xu Qi'an opened his eyes.

"Come out." The jailer shouted.

Xu Qi'an, wearing handcuffs and shackles, was taken to the interrogation room by the jailer.

Beams of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the wall, dispelling the darkness of the interrogation room, but not the coldness here.

Two young men were sitting at the interrogation table in the interrogation room. One has phoenix eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, and delicate features. The other has red lips and white teeth, and is handsome beyond compare.

Two rabbits walk side by side, how can you tell which is male and which is female.

Nangong Qianrou sneered, "Oil-coated face."

He didn't like the attitude of this scholar. Ever since he entered the government office and

came here, he always held his head high and his chest out, looking at people with his nose instead of his eyes.

This kind of arrogance is unreasonably annoying, the same virtue as other scholars in Yunlu Academy and the same virtue as the white-clothed people in the Imperial Observatory.

Xu Xinnian glanced at him and said lightly, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"Who do you say is a woman?" Nangong Qianrou smiled, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

"I am rude." Xu Xinnian bowed and said, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

"..." Nangong Qianrou wanted to kill someone.

Xu Xinnian, who had maxed out his poisonous tongue skills, sneered and raised his head

again. Seeing this scene at the door and hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Qi'an was worried about his younger brother.

He thought, "Cijiu, this beautiful lady is a high-ranking warrior. You are an eighth-rank scholar, you should know how to bend and stretch."

Nangong Qianrou turned her head, glared at Xu Qi'an, stood up and said, "One stick of incense

time."

Then she left.

Xu Xinnian stared at his cousin, silent.

"Why are you here? Aren't you studying in the academy?" Xu Qi'an said.

"Last night, one of your colleagues came to the mansion to deliver a letter and told me about

your experience. My father left the capital overnight and rushed to Yunlu Academy to inform me." Xu Xinnian exhaled:

"I returned home last night and waited until dawn when the inner city gate opened before

entering."

He took the teacher's letter and was a juren, so he learned that he was allowed to visit the

prison.

"Everyone in the family is very worried about you. Mom didn't sleep all night." Xu Xinnian

said.

Xu Qian'an nodded.

"Lingyin was also worried about you. She only had a bowl of porridge in the morning."

"It's hard for her." Xu Qian'an was moved.

Xu Xinnian nodded, agreed with his cousin's opinion, and continued: "The teacher's

suggestion is for me to ask the princess, she may be able to save you. As for the teachers... Wei Yuan's relationship with the academy is not good."

Xu Qian'an hesitated and said: "Cijiu, don't you blame your elder brother?"

Xu Xinnian said in a deep voice: "Eldest brother is not good at learning skills, and he didn't

kill that bastard."

Xu Qian'an laughed: "This is what a scholar is..." Laughing, he fell silent and said softly: "I'm

sorry."

Xu Xinnian remained silent.

The interrogation room was quiet, and the two brothers did not speak.

After a long time, Xu Cijiu sighed: "I will rescue you."

Xu Qi'an nodded, pretending that he was not moved, and said: "Since you are here, help me do

something. Did Cijiu bring silver?"

"Of course I did." Xu Xinnian replied.

Why visit the prison without money?

"Well, you go to the warden and say you want to retrieve one of my items if it is still there. It

is a small jade mirror. You take the mirror and go to the health hall in the east city to find a monk and tell him: Ask him to pass on the message that No. 3 is imprisoned in the night watchman dungeon and ask for help. Xu Qi'an!"

After the fragment of the Earth Book recognizes its owner, others cannot log in to chat, so No.

6 needs to pass the book.

I believe that the smart No. 1 will know what to do when he sees the book. Because in the Earth

Book chat group, only No. 1 has power in the capital.

No. 1 still owes him a debt.

Of course, No. 1 may not help, but that is another matter.

In addition, asking Xu Erlang to take the fragments of the Earth Book was a test of Wei Yuan

by Xu Qi'an.

To test whether he really wanted to kill him.

Xu Xinnian stared at him for a moment and asked, "What if not?"

"Then forget it."

After watching his cousin being taken into the dark passage, Xu Xinnian left the interrogation

room and found the warden. He handed over thirty taels of silver notes and said, "I need to

take back one of my cousin's items."

The warden had no objection, of course, as everything was easy with money.

He immediately led Xu Xinnian to the warehouse and took out a package, which contained the

things that Xu Qi'an had taken off his body.

"You can't take away the gong, waist badge, saber, and uniform." The warden said.

These are the things of the night watchman's office.

Xu Xinnian simply fumbled around and touched a small mirror made of jade. The shallow

lines on the mirror surface outlined strange patterns such as bows and crossbows and silver

notes.
