Chapter 104: Xu Cijiu: Selling Yourself to Save Big Brother(1/2)

After the people left, Yang Yan frowned, sat at the table, took the tea from Wei Yuan, and didn't take a sip for a long time.

Nangong Qianrou rolled her eyes and asked for him: "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.

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan shook their heads at the same time. The former smiled playfully: "Yes, yes, but the foster father is willing to kill him?"

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "I once said that he is a born martial artist, and his spirit is rare."

How long did it take for him to enter the Qi-Refining Realm after he seriously injured the silver gong in the God-Refining Realm with one knife?

There was appreciation in Wei Yuan's smile, but more of satisfaction.

.....

Chunfeng Hall.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao followed Li Yuchun back dejectedly. Brother Chun was extremely silent along the way.

He had been waiting downstairs, waiting for the results of the investigation, and received the news that Xu Qi'an would be cut off in half in seven days.

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

"Drink a drink with me for a while. I know you two have a secret secret and drink secretly while on duty."

There was no emotion in Li Yuchun's voice, which was frighteningly calm.

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

Li Yuchun is a rigid and paranoid person. Yinluo, who is familiar with him, says he sticks to the rules, while Yinluo, who is not familiar with him, teases him for not being flexible.

But regardless of whether he was familiar with him or not, no one in the yamen really looked down on him. On the contrary, they all admired him, even if they couldn't say it.

Li Yuchun's old-fashioned attitude is reflected in many aspects, such as never drinking while on duty.

Song Tingfeng took the wine he had secretly hidden from the side hall and three porcelain bowls, one of which originally belonged to Xu Qian.

Li Yuchun was unhappy with his drinking, but kept drinking one bowl after another without speaking.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao drank in silence.

The jar of wine was quickly finished, and Li Yuchun took advantage of the drunkenness and said, "I know Mr. Wei has his own difficulties, and Xu Qi'an did indeed do something wrong.

"What's wrong with insulting a female prisoner? It's not a crime worthy of death. He, an idiot, almost chopped her to death, but he chopped her with a silver gong."

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

"What can Mr. Wei do? Even if his qualifications are... better, the matter is so big and everyone in the Yamen is watching. Is it possible that he is openly partial? Then where is Mr. Wei's prestige? It takes many years to build a reputation. When it is destroyed,

But it only takes a moment. Just when you are about to favor Xu Qi'an, who will obey Duke Wei in the future?

"Okay, now one will be dismissed from his post, the other will be cut in half, and we will deal with it impartially, hehe, hehe.

"For a long time from now on, everyone in the yamen will behave well. Xu Qian's death was not unjust and it 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 colors on the bowl that he had been drinking from for more than half a year were really asymmetrical.

After finishing the drink and not in the mood to continue chatting, 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.

Repeatedly arrange the books, vases, tables and chairs so that they are neat and symmetrical.

Then, he took off his waistband and sword, and took off his watchman's uniform.

The uniforms were folded neatly, and the saber and waistband were put on. Li Yupei held them and walked out of Chunfeng Hall.

He walked all the way towards Haoqi Tower.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many Tong Luo, who pointed at him and whispered to him.

Among these people, some had heard about Xu Qi'an's deeds of killing Zhu Chengzhu with a sword, while others were ignorant and curious.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you hear that Zhu Yinluo was almost cut down by a gong? The person who cut him down was Xu Qian, Num, one of Li Yinluo's men."

"What does Li Yinluo want to do?"

"I don't know, follow me and have a look."

Three or five, seven or eight... the number of watchmen following Li Yuchun gradually increased, forming a sizable crowd.

All the way to Haoqi Tower.

Li Yuchun stopped under the vigilant and warning eyes of the guard downstairs. He held his uniform, waist badge, and saber in both hands, turning a blind eye to the followers behind him.

"Li Yuchun, who holds a humble position, joined the Yamen in the 20th year of Yuanjing. He has always abided by his duties and fulfilled his duties. He believed in eliminating corrupt officials and served the country as his goal." Li Yuchun's voice was loud:

"In the past sixteen years, I have worked diligently and never violated the law; I have never accepted bribes; I have never bullied good people. I thought that my passion would bring a bright and clear sky.

"However, in the past sixteen years, I have witnessed many of my colleagues oppressing the people and blackmailing merchants. Every time they ransacked homes, they would embezzle money and property, and rape officials' wives. This is unbearable.

"How can you enforce the law if you don't know how to enforce the law? How can you correct others if you don't do it yourself? Today Li Yuchun can't bear it anymore, so he resigned and left. You can also kill me."

After saying the last sentence, he struggled to throw his uniform, saber, and waistband to the ground under the stunned eyes of the watchmen around him, discarding them like worn-out shoes.

Li Yuchun, who slapped Wei Yuan in the face in public at Haoqi Tower, turned around and left. No one among the dozens of watchmen stopped him and no one said a word.

"This...should we stop it?" someone asked in a low voice.

The watchmen around him stared at him coldly.

.....

Xu Qian, wearing prison uniform, was sitting in the prison cell of the watchman's office, with his back against the wall, smelling the unique damp and putrid smell in the cell.

"It's the third time I've entered the palace. I was a policeman in my previous life, and now I'm a frequent visitor to the prison cells." Xu Qian laughed at himself and lamented the uncertainty of fate.

The cell was silent, except for the occasional curses from the prisoners next door. Most people usually remained silent.

Most of the prisoners locked up here are on death row, and they are disheartened. At first they would cry out for injustice and curse their mothers, but after being taken out by the jailer guarding the cell for a friendly chat, they started to learn how to behave.

I also learned how to keep quiet in public places.

No one wants to suffer inhumane torture before death.

Xu Qian closed his eyes, thinking about whether he had any chance of survival.

"The great scholars from Yunlu Academy may come to make a fuss, but they are white-bodied people without official positions. It won't work for them to be official. The same won't work for physics. After all, this is a watchdog yamen."

"Si Tianjian's warlocks will definitely try to save me, but unless Jian Zheng comes forward, they won't be able to save me. And for the dignified Jian Zheng to come forward, my identity is not enough...Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, are you at Fu Xiang's place?

After tasting the warmth of Naiko, have you forgotten the coldness of society? It took two months and I still haven't hooked Chu Caiwei into bed."

"The fragments of the Book of the Earth have also been taken away, otherwise I can try to ask No. 1 to rescue me. I don't know if he (she) has enough status..."

After thinking about it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the cell was silent and the dark night was outside the small window.

Sleep made up for the loss of physical strength when he used "One Sword of Heaven and Earth", at the cost of being hungry.

By the dim light of the 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, eating with gusto.

"Fuck, you bastard Shukbeta, you're robbing me of my food."

Xu Qian cursed angrily.

I didn't have any food to eat, so I had to sit cross-legged and meditate, breathing out my Qi.

I don't know how long it took, but it was dawn.

The sound of footsteps came from the dark passage, and two jailers walked over and opened the cell door.

Xu Qian opened his eyes.

"Come out," the jailer shouted.

Xu Qian, who was handcuffed and shackled, was taken to the torture room by the jailer.

Beams of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the wall, dispelling the darkness of the torture chamber, but they could not dispel the coldness here.

There were two young men sitting at the interrogation table in the torture room. One of them had red phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, and delicate facial features. The other one had red lips and white teeth, and was extremely handsome.

Two rabbits walking next to each other can tell whether I am male or female.

Nangong Qianrou sneered and said, "Oil-headed powdered noodles."

He disliked the scholar's attitude very much. From the moment he entered the Yamen, he always held his head and chest high, looking at people not with his eyes but with his nose.

This kind of arrogance is annoying for no reason. He has the same virtue as other scholars in Yunlu Academy and the same virtue as Si Tianjian's white clothes.

Xu New Year glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

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

"I'm being rude." Xu Xinyin bowed his hands and said, "May I ask the girl her name?"

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

Xu New Year, who had the poisonous tongue skill fully equipped, sneered and raised his head again.
