62 Qualification test (1)

An invitation from the night watchman … Invite me?

Xu Qi ‘an was in disbelief. He remained silent and did not rush to speak.

“You’re a talent. I’ve already confirmed it when we were in the back hall of the government office. However, there are rules for the night watchmen, and the Qi refining stage is the bottom line.” Li Yuchun changed to a more casual sitting position, not as aggressive as before.

“As Da Feng’s Guardian and his Majesty’s protector, it’s normal to have higher requirements.

“But you’ve proved yourself with your own abilities. Even if you’re in the spirit refining realm, the night watchman is willing to recruit you.”

Is it because my methods are dirty enough and my thoughts are meticulous enough, so I made an exception and recruited him?

That’s right, this half-Nanman silver Gong expressed her admiration for me when solving the tax and silver case.

The serious-looking Yin Gong added, “”Of course, the main reason is that the eldest Princess recommended you.”

The eldest Princess? Xu Qi ‘an was shocked again.

Who is the eldest Princess? why did she recommend her? I don’t even know her. Uh … I’ve indeed heard of her in Yun Lu Academy.

But we’ve never met before, so why did she recommend me to the night watchman?

Xu Qi ‘an was full of confusion, but the two silver gongs didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining. It was also possible that they didn’t know.

“Other than that, the reason why the two of you didn’t report me is …”

“You should know the duty of a night watchman,” Li Yuchun said with a smile.

The hundred inspectors … Assistant Minister Zhou, who had been greedy for the money and grain of the National Treasury, was not on the same side as the night watchmen. In fact, the night watchmen’s organization had even added fuel to the fire of Assistant Minister Zhou’s fall … Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood.

“Assistant Minister Zhou will be finished sooner or later. We have already begun to deal with him, but your little scheme has helped us speed up our progress.” The serious-looking Yin Luo said.

Li Yuchun glanced at him. Lord Sun, as we’ve agreed, I’ll accept this person. Please give us some space to talk.

Sun yingong did not leave. He stared at Xu Qi ‘an and said, “”You have the right to choose. Follow him or follow me.”

there isn’t much difference in power between the two of us, but he’s a stubborn and inflexible man. He’s living an ordinary life with his Gong, but with my Gong, he can buy a decent small courtyard in the inner city in three years at most.

Working for three years and getting a house in the capital … It was really an irresistible temptation … Xu Qi ‘an rejected sun yinluo’s offer and said, ”

“At the time of the tax and silver case, Lord li gave me the opportunity to redeem myself. I have always remembered this kindness, and I want to work under him.”

This was only one of the reasons. The other reason was that he didn’t want to go against his heart and do too many “shady” things.

Sun yinluo nodded slightly and praised,”It’s a good thing to know how to repay a debt of gratitude.”

He left without any hesitation.

After the door was closed, Li Yuchun pointed at the chair opposite her and smiled gently. have a seat. Let me introduce myself. I’m Li Yuchun, and I’ll be your boss in the future. You can call me that. If you’re not used to it, you can also call me Lord li.”

Can I call you brother spring … Xu Qi ‘an took a seat and called out “Lord li” in a slightly reserved manner.

“When you work under me, you must have a clear conscience. You Must Remember This.” After Li Yuchun warned him, she began to introduce the night watchmen’s organization.

“Among the night watchmen, the lowest level are white laborers. They don’t have an organization and do odd jobs. The second was the copper Gong, a proper night watchman, at least in the Qi refining stage, with a monthly salary of five taels of silver and two stones of rice. Above them were silver gongs, enjoying the treatment of a hundred households.

“Above the silver Gong is the Golden gong, which is the highest position. There are only ten Jin gongs in the capital of great Feng, and they are directly under the command of Duke of Wei.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He knew that Wei Yuan was the head of the night watchmen’s organization.

“The duty of the night watchman is to monitor the officials and protect the capital. You can slowly familiarize yourself with the specific business in the future.” Li Yuchun looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

“You’re at the peak of the spirit refinement realm. I have two suggestions.One, slowly accumulate merit points and wait for an opportunity. Two, pay me four hundred taels of silver and I’ll help you open the heavenly gate.”

“I choose the second option,” Xu Qi ‘an said without hesitation.

“You’re pretty rich, aren’t you?” Li Yuchun narrowed his eyes.

“The Directorate of Celestials” miss Cai Wei lent it to me. ” Xu Qi ‘an threw the blame on the big-eyed beauty without blushing or having a heartbeat.

Li Yuchun nodded. I’ll arrange for you to change your household registration and go through the relevant procedures.

After he finished speaking, he went out. After a while, he led the squinty-eyed young man and the serious young man in.

“Song tingfeng,” The man with squinted eyes when he smiled introduced himself and sized Xu Qi ‘an up and down.”You’re not bad. You’ve come in and become colleagues?”

“Zhu guangxiao.” After the unsmiling young man finished speaking, he did not say anything else.

Xu Qi ‘an followed the two of them to go through the employment procedures. On the way, song tingfeng casually chatted with them, ”

“It’s generally easier to work with chief li, and there aren’t so many schemes and infighting. The bad thing is that you have to be careful when you’re fishing for money. It doesn’t matter if you’re a little greedy, but don’t go overboard.”

“Then can you return the thirty taels of silver to me?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at him sincerely.

Song tingfeng replied with an even more sincere look, “”When have I ever accepted your money?”

….. Bitch! “Oh, I remembered wrong,” Xu Qi ‘an grinned.

by the way, we’re going to the school workshop tonight. Do you want to go together? ” Song tingfeng sent an invitation.

‘I hate this kind of rotten official communication the most …’ “Alright,” Xu Qi ‘an smiled.

After the formalities were completed, song tingfeng brought him to the depths of the Yamen and explained as they walked, ” there’s another process after you’ve joined the update-testing your qualifications.

“Test my aptitude?” Xu Qi ‘an imagined the scene of his hand pressing on the crystal to test his battle energy rank.

“It’s the rules and procedures set by Lord Wei.” “They are ‘wisdom’,’ strength’, and ‘heart’,” song tingfeng said.

As they spoke, they came to a loft, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall on the first floor. Two lines of poetry were hung on the load-bearing pillar:

I’m willing to worship Sha Chen with my heart.

He didn’t seek benefits for himself.

“This was written by Lord Wei to warn us.” Song tingfeng said.

“Obviously, it’s useless.” Xu Qi ‘an glanced at him, his words implying something.

Song tingfeng pretended not to understand and led him inside. you’re in the spirit refinement realm now, so there’s no need to test your combat strength. Let’s test your intelligence first.”

He called for the clerk in the attic and gave the order.

A moment later, two officials came in, each holding a brocade box.

“One of the boxes in their hands is empty, and the other has something inside,” song tingfeng said with a smile. You can choose one of them to ask, but you can only ask one question.”

and among them, one only tells lies, and the other only tells the truth.

hehe, ” song tingfeng chuckled. you have the time for an incense stick to burn to think about it. I can’t give you any hints.

Zhu guangxiao reminded him, “”This is a difficult question. Think about it carefully.”

Song tingfeng nodded,”although Lord Wei said that it’s just a small game, not many people can guess it right.” Although I understood it after the incident, it was already the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

“It’s said that only Lord Jin Luo can understand this question in twenty breaths.”

The clerk lit an incense and placed it on the side.

I’ve tried to solve this kind of simple logic problem countless times in my previous life.

Xu Qi ‘an turned to the clerk on his left and asked, “”If you were him, what would you tell me?”

The clerk was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t seem to expect Xu Qi ‘an to ask such a question. After thinking for a while, he said in a muffled voice, “”There’s nothing.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded and pressed on the brocade box in the hands of the bailiff on the right.”The item is in this brocade box.”

Song tingfeng opened his mouth and looked at his expressionless friend with a stiff face, “”How long?”

Zhu guangxiao’s tone was a little depressed. not counting the time it took for the clerk to be in a daze. Twelve breaths …

There was a second of silence. Song tingfeng cupped his hands and shook his head helplessly.”You can solve the silver Tax case, it’s not a blind cat that got lucky.”

He knew about Xu Qi ‘an. Li Yuchun was one of the main judges in the tax silver case. At that time, song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were out there, trying their best to track down the non-existent demon.

After the tax silver case was solved, as a participant in the case, he naturally knew of Xu Qi ‘an’s existence.
