Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Night Talk

Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Night TalkOn the deck, there was an eerie silence.

The officials and guards of the three divisions were silent, not daring to speak out to provoke Xu Qiyan. Especially the head of the police department of the Ministry of Justice, who just said that Xu Qiyan's desire to have a monopoly was wishful thinking.

At this moment, I felt my cheeks burning, and suddenly understood the anger and helplessness of the Minister of Justice. He hated this kid to the core, but he couldn't do anything about him.

Of course, the one who lost the most face was Chu Xianglong. As the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei, he held real power at the border. When he returned to the capital, he didn't need to look at people's faces.

Even if it was the officials in the court, he was not afraid, because the person who could dominate his life and death and future was the King of Zhenbei. No matter how powerful the officials were, they couldn't deal with him.

Gradually developed a domineering and ostentatious character, until this moment, he fell hard under Xu Qiyan.

Chu Xianglong warned himself to put the overall situation first while calming down his inner frustration and anger, but he was too ashamed to stay on the deck. He looked at Xu Qi'an deeply and left without saying a word.

He felt that everyone looked at him with mockery, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

On the deck and in the cabin, one after another looked at Xu Qi'an, and their eyes quietly changed from scrutiny and watching the show to awe.

Yinluo's official position was nothing. There were many people with higher official positions than him in the delegation, but the power controlled by Xu Yinluo and the imperial order he carried made him a well-deserved chief officer.

If anyone dared to disobey in public or suppress with official position, Chu Xianglong's humiliation today would be their example.

The princess was blocked by these little hooves and could not see the faces of the people on the deck, but hearing the voices was enough.

At first glance, his behavior seems overbearing and strong, giving people the feeling of youthful vigor, but in fact, he is rough but delicate. He had expected that the imperial guards would gather around him......... No, that's not right. I was confused by the appearance. The reason why he could suppress Chu Xianglong was because he did things that he was not ashamed of, so he could be upright. As the saying goes, those who are righteous have many supporters, and those who are unrighteous have few supporters... The princess had to admit that this was a man with great courage and personality charm, but he was too lustful.

With Chu Xianglong's surrender and departure, the storm ended here.

Xu Yinluo appeased the imperial guards and walked towards the cabin. The maids blocking the entrance dispersed one after another, looking at him with some fear in their eyes.

When passing by the old aunt, Xu Qian'an threw a coquettish eye at her, and she immediately showed a disgusted expression and turned her face away with disdain.

Sure enough, he is a lustful person...... The princess muttered in her heart.

Her current appearance is indeed not related to beauty, and her appearance is ordinary. However, even so, the wretched and lustful Xu Qi'an still tried to hook up.

Entering the cabin and going up to the second floor, Xu Qi'an knocked on Yang Yan's door. "Come in!"

Yang Jinluo, who had disdained to participate in the dispute from beginning to end, said lightly.

Xu Qi'an pushed the door open and saw Yang Yan sitting cross-legged on the bed, with two pairs of boots neatly placed beside the bed.

Yang Yan was meticulous in his work, but he was different from Chun Ge's obsessive- compulsive disorder.

Xu Qi'an closed the door, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one breath, and whispered: "What's the matter with those female relatives?"

"Chu Xianglong escorted the princess to the northern border, and in order to conceal his tracks, he mixed into the delegation. Your Majesty has informed Duke Wei about this matter, but it was only a verbal order, without any written evidence." Yang Yan said.

It's really the princess... Xu Qi'an frowned. He guessed correctly that the female family member escorted by Chu Xianglong was really the Princess of Zhenbei. Because of this, he only threatened Chu Xianglong and didn't really expel him.

"Why escort the princess to the northern border so secretly?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Yang Yan shook his head.

There must be something fishy about this matter... Xu Qi'an lowered his voice and said, "Boss, tell me about this princess. She seems mysterious."

Yang Yan frowned slightly. This question was a bit difficult for him. After all, for a warm harbor in the world, it is not the abyss that men yearn for, but a martial arts fanatic. Gossip is meaningless.

"I don't know much. I only know that after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the princess was given to the King of Huai by His Majesty. And in the next twenty years, she never left the capital."

I know all these things. I even remember the poem describing the princess... Xu Qi'an was disappointed when he couldn't get any gossip.

"You offended Chu Xianglong this time. After arriving in the northern border, you will inevitably be troubled, but you have also successfully established your prestige. No one dared to compete with you along the way."

Yang Yan continued: "The people of the three divisions are not trustworthy. They are not active in the case."

It can be seen that they will investigate the case when there is no danger. Once they encounter danger, they will definitely retreat timidly. After all, if the job is not done well, at most they will be punished, which is better than losing their lives......Xu Qiyan nodded:

"I know, this is human nature."

Yang Yan did not persuade anything, nodded, and looked at Xu Qiyan: "Anything else? If not, go out and don't disturb my practice."

Boss, you are not interesting at all. You are the programmer in my previous life. If a woman takes off her pants in front of them, they will only shout: 404

Xu Qiyan left the room half-joking and half-complaining.

That day, after dinner, in the night of Qingming, Xu Qian'an, Chen Xiao, and a group of imperial guards sat on the deck and chatted.

Xu Qian'an told them about the tax silver case, Sangpo case, Pingyang Princess case, etc. that he had solved. The imperial guards admired him sincerely and thought that Xu Qian'an was

simply a god.

As imperial guards in the capital, they had heard about these cases more than once, but they didn't know the details. Now they finally know how Xu Yinluo solved the cases.

For example, in the tax silver case, Xu Ningyan, who was still a quick hand in Changle County at the time, was in a mess but calm, and said to the prefect: Do you want to solve the case?

The prefect answered: Yes.

Xu Ningyan said lightly: Bring the file.

So the file was delivered, and he only glanced at it and solved the tax silver case that the night watchman and the government office were worried about.

Another example is the complicated Sangpo case that is destined to go down in history. The detectives of the Ministry of Justice and the government office were helpless and confused. Xu Yinluo, oh no, it was Xu Tongluo at that time, holding the imperial gold medal, said to the good-for-nothings of the Ministry of Justice and the government office:

I, Xu Qi'an, will handle the cases that the Ministry of Justice cannot handle, and I, Xu Qi'an,

will do the things that the Ministry of Justice dare not do.

The useless people in the Ministry of Justice bowed their heads in shame.

Xu Yinluo is really amazing... The imperial guards admired and worshipped him more and

more.

"Actually, these are nothing. The most proud thing in my life is the Yunzhou case."

Xu Qian'an held a wine pot in his hand, swept across the thin faces, and said proudly: "On that day, the Yunzhou rebels captured the Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office, and the governor and his colleagues were on the verge of death.

"At that time, I blocked the eight thousand rebels with one sword, and none of them could get

in. I chopped for a whole hour, chopped dozens of times, and was full of arrows. None of them

could get in."

"Eight thousand?" Centurion Chen Xiao was stunned and scratched his head, saying: "Why

did I hear that there were 10,000 rebels?"

"I heard 15,000."

"No, no, no, I heard from my brothers in the Imperial Guards that there were a full 20,000

rebels."

The soldiers started arguing.

.....This, this is too hard to brag about, I'm embarrassed. Xu Qian'an coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and said:

"No, no, those are all rumors. According to the number I have here, there are only 8,000

rebels." 8,000 is a more reasonable number that Xu Qian'an thinks. More than 10,000 is too exaggerated. Sometimes he himself would be at a loss, how many rebels did I kill at the

beginning.

"It turned out to be 8,000 rebels."

The imperial guards suddenly realized and firmly believed that this was the real data, after

all, it was Xu Yinluo who said it.

During the chat, it was time to go out for a walk. Xu Qian'an clapped his hands and said:

"We will arrive in Jiangzhou tomorrow, and the border of Jianzhou will be to the north. Let's rest for a day at Jiangzhou Post Station and replenish supplies. I will give everyone half a day

off tomorrow."

Lord Xu is so nice... The soldiers happily went back to the bottom of the cabin.

These days, they don't have to stay in the bottom of the cabin, and they clean the toilet

frequently. The environment has been greatly improved, and their complexions have

improved a lot.

The deck, which was still lively a moment ago, became a little deserted the next moment. The moonlight like frost and snow shone on the boat, on people's faces, and on the river surface,

and the moonlight flickered.

"Liar!"

Xu Qian'an, who was holding a wine pot, heard someone scolding him beside him.

He smiled shamelessly: "You are just jealous of my excellence. How do you know I am a liar?

You are not in Yunzhou."

The old aunt was sharp-tongued and snorted: "How do you know I am talking about the

Yunzhou case?"

Xu Qian'an choked her and said unhappily: "Are you still here? If not, get out."

The old lady said angrily: "I won't leave. It's not your boat."

She was delicate and couldn't stand the shaking of the boat. She didn't sleep well and didn't

eat well these days. She had bags under her eyes and looked very haggard. So she developed the habit of coming to the deck to get some fresh air before going to bed.

She happened to see him chatting and gossiping with a group of soldiers on the deck. She could only hide and eavesdrop. She didn't dare to come out until the soldiers left.

Xu Qi'an ignored her, and she ignored Xu Qi'an. One of them lowered her head and looked

down at the river surface with shimmering light, and the other looked up at the bright moon

in the sky. When the old lady didn't speak, there was a quiet beauty, like a crabapple flower blooming

alone under the moonlight.

The moonlight shone on her ordinary face, but her eyes were hidden in the shadow cast by her eyelashes, which was as deep as the sea and seemed like the purest black gemstone.

Xu Qian'an took a sip of wine, moved his gaze away from her, and raised his head with

emotion: "I am very inspired to write a poem. You are lucky. You can show off my poem in front of others in the future."

She sneered, her face full of disdain, but her ears were honestly erected. Although she wanted to attack or laugh at this man who always made her angry, he was

recognized as the best poet in the Confucian Academy of Dafeng in terms of poetry, and speaking rudely would only make her look stupid.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't read the poem. The old aunt who was waiting for the masterpiece couldn't help but look back and bumped into a pair of playful eyes.

She turned her head back angrily.

Then, the guy's half-sighing and half-reciting voice came to her ears: "People today don't see the moon of the past, but the moon today once shone on the ancients." People today don't see the moon of the past, but the moon today once shone on the

ancients...... Her eyes gradually widened, and she muttered in her mouth, and her astonishment was beyond words.

"I finally understand why those scholars in the capital city are so fond of your poems." She

sighed.

They are not flattering me. I don't produce poems. I am just a porter of poems...Xu Qiyan smiled and said:

"You are too flattering. Poetry talent is innate. I feel that my mind is full of masterpieces, and

I can easily write them."

This time, the old aunt with a strange temper did not attack or refute, but asked: "What's the

follow-up?"

I don't remember the follow-up...Xu Qiyan spread his hands: "I only made this sentence, and

there is nothing below."

She gritted her teeth and said: "I finally understand why so many people hate you."

Then there was another silence.

The old aunt lay on the guardrail, looking at the rippling river surface. This posture inevitably

made her buttocks slightly raised, and under the thin spring clothes, the round buttocks were

highlighted.

hether it is a peach or a full moon..." Xu Qiyan habitually

"Big, very round, but I can't commented in his heart, and then looked away.

You can't keep looking at it, or he'll look very wretched.

"I heard you're going to the northern border to investigate the bloody massacre of thousands

of miles?" she suddenly asked.

"Yeah." Xu Qi'an nodded, speaking briefly.

"What case is it?" she asked again.

"It's not clear yet, but I guess the barbarians invaded the border, burned, killed, plundered,

and massacred thousands of miles, and the King of Zhenbei stayed in the city." Xu Qi'an gave

his own guess.

"Oh!"

She nodded and said, "If that's the case, aren't you afraid of offending the King of Zhenbei?"

"Yes."

Xu Qi'an said helplessly, "If the case didn't fall on me, I would just turn a blind eye and take care of things around me. But it happened to me.

"I thought maybe it was God's will. If it's God's will, then I'll go and see. "

She didn't say anything, squinting her eyes, enjoying the cool breeze on the river.

Xu Qian'an's eyes turned and he smiled, "When I went to Yunzhou by boat last year, I encountered some strange things on the road."

She immediately became interested and tilted her head.

"On the way, a soldier came to the deck at night, lying on the guardrail in the same position as

you, staring at the water, and then, then..."

Xu Qian'an stared at the river with a horrified expression.

She also stared at the river nervously, concentrating. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Then a water ghost jumped out of the river!" Xu Qian'an said in a deep voice.

"Nonsense, nonsense..."

The old lady's face turned pale, a little scared, and she said with all her strength: "You just

want to scare me."

Plop!

Suddenly, there was a noise on the water, splashing water.

She screamed, sat on the ground in fear, holding her head and trembling.

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Qian'an laughed out loud, pointed at the old lady's embarrassed posture, and mocked: "A

wine pot scared you like this."

The old lady stood up silently, her face as cold as frost, and left without saying a word.

Angry? Xu Qian'an looked at her back and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, come back and chat for a

while, little aunt."

.......

At dawn, the official ship slowly moored at the dock of Huangyou County. As one of the few counties in Jiangzhou with a dock, Huangyou County's economy has developed quite well.

This place is rich in a kind of yellow-orange, crystal-clear jade, the color is like butter, named Huangyou Jade. The official ship will be moored at the dock for a day. Xu Qian'an sent people to get off the ship to prepare supplies. At the same time, the imperial guards were divided into two groups,

one group stayed on the official ship, and the other group went into the city. Half a day later, the other group was replaced.

"Take advantage of the time, go to the city to find a brothel after lunch, and take the night watchman colleagues to play. As for Yang Yan, let him stay on the ship..."

In the morning light, Xu Qian'an thought to himself, and suddenly heard a vomiting sound

from the corner of the deck.

Turning his head, he saw an old aunt lying on the side of the ship, vomiting non-stop, with a round face that was not sure whether it was a peach or a full moon. "Auntie, are you pregnant? "Xu Qian'an teased, taking out a handkerchief and handing it over.

She ignored him, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, her face was haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night. "I noticed that you looked bad yesterday, what happened? "Xu Qiyan asked.

The young aunt glared at him and went back to the cabin with her hips shaking. She was so scared that she didn't sleep last night. She always felt that there were scary eyes

staring at her outside the flying bed curtains, or that a hand would stretch out from under the bed, or that a head would hang outside the paper-pasted window...

She rolled up the quilt and covered her head. She didn't dare to sleep, and had to stick her head out from time to time to observe the room.

After not sleeping for a night, coupled with the turbulence of the ship, the accumulated fatigue in recent days suddenly broke out, with a headache, vomiting, and severe discomfort.

It was all this kid's fault. It's okay to ignore me, but I'm afraid you'll delay my listening to music in the brothel... Xu Qiyan muttered and called his friends to get off the ship.
