As the sound of arresting the head rang out, everyone was full of curiosity.
The three masters stood up at the first moment without any hesitation.
"Little friend Qingxiao, something urgent happened. Let's have a chat someday."
Master Qi spoke, leaving these words and followed the officer away.
The same goes for the other two masters.
"Three Masters, move slowly."
Xu Qingxiao wanted to say pay attention to safety, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it. At this level, she knew how to advance and retreat, and she didn't need to remind herself.
But what makes Xu Qingxiao a little curious is that the demon is born, what is the purpose of inviting the master to come over?
Verbal and written criticism?
Do you write articles to criticize monsters?
If this is the case, then you can go up there and give it a try yourself.
Zhou Ling said before that Confucianism and Taoism in this world are not the kind of swords and swords, so Xu Qingxiao really can't think of how Confucianism can kill monsters.
I can only wait until these ladies come back before asking.
But before Xu Qingxiao could say anything, another figure crossed the crowd and came directly to Xu Qingxiao.
It's Li Xin.
"Brother Qingxiao, if there is something urgent, come with me."
Li Xin spoke with a serious expression, as if something big was going on.
Xu Qingxiao did not ask, but stood up and left with Li Xin. Wang Ru wanted to follow, but Li Xin said.
"Brother Wang Ru, I can only talk to Brother Qingxiao about this matter. I hope Brother Wang Ru can forgive me."
The matter was so important that Li Xin did not dare to let anyone else listen, so he could only ask Wang Ru not to come.
"Okay, brother Qingxiao, I'll wait for you at the inn."
Wang Ru knew that Li Xingui was the son of the prince and came to see Xu Qingxiao specially. And it must be a big deal to be so nervous.
Wang Ru did not follow.
Li Xin pulled Xu Qingxiao away, walked out of Bailu Academy, turned left and right, and arrived at a courtyard about a quarter of an hour later.
"Brother Qingxiao, this is my private residence in the capital. Let's talk inside."
Li Xin spoke up and asked Xu Qingxiao to come in.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao walked directly into the mansion without hesitation.
Li Xin entered and closed the door. The house was relatively depressed. Although there were traces of cleaning, there was no trace of life. It should have been a vacant house that was bought to wait for appreciation in value.
"Brother Xu, this matter is of great importance. I have no choice but to invite you here. I hope Brother Xu will not take offense."
Li Xin opened his mouth, first apologizing and being very respectful to Xu Qingxiao.
"My dear brother, I'm serious. I'm so anxious. I think it's important. But my foolish brother doesn't understand. What's the matter?"
Xu Qingxiao had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't be sure, so she asked the other party.
As soon as he said this, Li Xin answered directly without talking nonsense.
"Brother Xu, do you know Cheng Lidong?"
he asked.
"know."
Hearing this name, Xu Qingxiao knew that her guess was right.
But what makes Xu Qingxiao a little uncomfortable is why Cheng Lidong is not dead yet? It seems that Wu Yan is in danger.
"Do you have any grudge against him?"
Li Xin asked again.
"No grudges, no grudges."
"Sir Cheng Lidongcheng, I went to Ping'an County a few days ago. At that time, I was faced with despair in life. I never thought that there would be no way out, but I survived by luck."
"But Mr. Cheng always thought that I had practiced the so-called magic. Brother Li, to be honest, I didn't even know what the magic was at that time."
“I didn’t know what strange magic was until today, and I feel deeply speechless about it.”
Xu Qingxiao didn't say it in a subtle way, but was very direct, as if I was not afraid of being suspected.
As soon as he said this, Li Xin nodded immediately and then continued to speak.
"Brother Xu, I naturally believe that you have not practiced any other magic."
"It's just that Cheng Lidong used some groundless excuses to say that Brother Xu was extremely ill at that time and there was no cure, but he suddenly recovered on his own. It's hard to justify his theory, so he insisted that Brother Xu had practiced some strange magic."
"Let my father order the arrest of Brother Xu and torture him for interrogation."
Li Xin said.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao frowned a little. This guy was really cruel. He had already come to Nanyu Mansion and he still wouldn't let her go?
And there is no evidence, but you are still staring at me?
Do you think I'm making someone unhappy?
It's just that Xu Qingxiao didn't rush to ask Li Xin about his father's decision.
Instead, he snorted coldly.
"I, Xu, do not like to compete for profit, but I cannot allow others to slander me. Brother Li, can you please help me? I want to see Mr. Fu and confront him face to face with Cheng Lidong."
"No, I will go to Brother Wang Ru now and ask him to summon all the literati to confront him in front of everyone."
"When I ask someone to do something, I always have a clear conscience. Although I am a scholar who does not have the power to tie a chicken, I still have enthusiasm."
Xu Qingxiao was angry, of course this was false.
He is not afraid of confrontation, since the other party has no evidence anyway, so what he is doing now is just pretending to show Li Xin.
When a normal person is wronged, his first reaction is to confront him. This is normal. If his first reaction is anything else, it proves that this person has something evil in mind.
Sure enough, as Xu Qingxiao became so angry, Li Xin became more convinced that Cheng Lidong had wronged a good man.
"Brother Xu, I think so too, but don't worry, my father knows everything. His first reaction was that it was impossible."
"However, this matter involves magic. Due to legal reasons, my father can only let Cheng Lidong investigate, but only in secret. He is not allowed to arrest, detain, or interrogate."
"After the instructions were given, my father specially asked me to come to Brother Xu to tell the truth in advance. Brother Xu, my father values you very much. After all, you are a great talent in our Nanyu Mansion. Brother Xu, please rest assured. If Cheng Lidong dares to accuse you unjustly, my father will
The first one disagrees."
Li Xin's words are an expression of his attitude. As long as Cheng Lidong doesn't have complete evidence, he won't want to cause trouble for you.
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but on the outside she thanked her first and then quickly continued to be angry.
"Cheng Lidong slandered me in order to make meritorious service. I can't swallow this breath. Moreover, even if it is a secret investigation, it makes me very unhappy. Such charges are like excrement. I dare not touch them."
.”
Xu Qingxiao was still aggrieved, but she wasn't pretending this time.
Let me ask you this: I study hard, study hard, occasionally attend banquets, sing songs, and eat delicious food, and suddenly someone comes over and says something.
A trace of cloth, oh, policeman, you have been clothed.
Who still has the time to read and read?
A wise saying is to guard against a gentleman and a villain. Cheng Lidong was obviously a villain. From the moment he was interrogated in Ping'an County, Xu Qingxiao knew that this guy must be the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
As soon as he said this, Li Xin nodded, agreeing with what Xu Qingxiao said.
If you want to talk about other things, you should also say that the sin of this strange magic is excrement. The description is absolutely correct. Whoever encounters it will be disgusting. It will be disgusting if you haven't practiced it, and it will be even more disgusting if you practice it.
But soon Li Xin continued.
"Brother Xu is going through something like this. Brother Yu sympathizes with it, but it's not without a solution."
Li Xin's words made Xu Qingxiao curious.
"How to deal with it?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Fame."
Fame?
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
"Well, if Brother Xu has a reputation, then he cannot move in a position like Cheng Lidong. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, a scholar with a reputation will not be punished at the top and will not go to prison at the bottom."
"Unless it's a major case, and even if it's a major case, it's not Cheng Lidong's turn to take care of it, at least at my father's level."
"Brother Xu, I will give you a thorough explanation. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this year's imperial examination. The top thirty-three candidates in the imperial examination can be granted special status. Of course, they are the top thirty-three in all imperial examinations in the Wei Dynasty.
"
Li Xin told a secret.
Xu Qingxiao understood in an instant.
Generally speaking, one has to pass the Beijing Imperial Examination to achieve meritorious status. Only after passing the imperial examination can one gain merit. Passing the Imperial Examination is equivalent to getting a ticket to Beijing.
The county examination is a local imperial examination. If you pass the county examination, you will not have any merit, but you can be an official. However, you are only allowed to be an official within the county. You can do it in all counties and cannot cross counties.
Some people know that they will not pass the imperial examination, so they go to the county examination, or they go to the county examination first, and if they pass the county examination, they then take the imperial examination. If they fail, they come back to become an official.
And this time the government examination awarded merit and honor, it was really unprecedented.
But think about it, it is unprecedented for a woman to become emperor, so it doesn't matter if you compare it carefully.
"Brother Yu, I understand, but whether you can pass the imperial examination or not is a question. You still have to be in the top thirty-three, which is a bit difficult."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't have much expectations for this government examination.
When it comes to composing lyrics and poems, Xu Qingxiao can copy a handful of texts, but at most he can only revise and revise them.
write an essay.
Xu Qingxiao had something in mind.
Definitely not.
"Brother Xu's words are wrong. He can use the term "Manjianghong". It's absolutely amazing to think of Brother Xu's article."
"To be honest, even if Brother Xu wins the top spot, we will not be surprised at all."
Li Xin started filming rainbow farts.
Xu Qingxiao smiled and said a few words modestly. The general content was that I am not good, I am not good, and I think you are better.
Li Xin was in a state of panic, saying, "I can't do it, I can't do it, but Brother Xu is still awesome."
After the two exchanged business blows for a while, nothing else happened.
Li Xin was so anxious to find Xu Qingxiao because of this matter. Xu Qingxiao had been reading in the library before, and he didn't dare to disturb him. After all, the master didn't bother him, so it seemed inappropriate to disturb him himself.
Now that it's all said and done, Li Xin doesn't intend to delay Xu Qingxiao.
There is a government examination the day after tomorrow, so it is wise to go back and prepare lessons as soon as possible.
The two said goodbye, and before leaving, Li Xin suddenly said that after the imperial examination, his father would hold a banquet for the talented people who had participated in the imperial examination, and invited Xu Qingxiao to come over.
Xu Qingxiao was not stupid and knew what this meant, but she agreed without hesitation.
Wait for the two of them to say goodbye.
Xu Qingxiao walked towards her residence.
The pace is not too slow, and there is no random thinking.
The prince of Nanyu Mansion asked Cheng Lidong to investigate him secretly, thinking that he was being watched all the time.
It is even very possible that Li Xin's tip just now was seen by the other party.
But it doesn't matter. Once you see it, you will see it. No matter how good Cheng Lidong is, he is only a quasi-hundred householder, and he is still a small role in front of the prince.
But after saying goodbye to Li Xin, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to appear worried. If Cheng Lidong was really observing her secretly, this kind of behavior would only make Cheng Lidong more certain that he had practiced the magic.
