"We are here to assist the Jincheng Town Demon Division in investigating the case!"
Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan spoke in unison and reacted fiercely.
An Mutong looked stunned and a little frightened: "Just investigate the case. Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Haha, I'm not afraid that you will misunderstand." Xue Qingshan said with some guilt.
Qin Shaoyou turned his back on defense and asked, "Fifth brother-in-law, why are you here so late at night?"
"That's right!"
Did you go to visit the brothel?"
An Mutong glared: "What does visiting a brothel mean? Don't say it in such a bad way, we are... ahem, we also saw the cloud-piercing arrow here and knew that there was a case, so we came to see the situation.
.”
He almost spilled the beans, but luckily he changed his mind in time.
It's a pity that neither Qin Shaoyou nor Xue Qingshan believed the reason he gave.
Xue Qingshan curled his lips and said: "What does the case of the Demon Suppression Division have to do with you? Besides, some of your friends were so drunk that they vomited. Could they be here to investigate the case?"
An Mutong followed the direction of his finger and looked back. Sure enough, there was a man bent over and vomiting on the roadside with the help of a servant. There was also a man who lifted up his robe and peed.
Monk Ma, Sun Xianzong and other night watchmen were not far away watching the fun and pointing.
"It's an insult to elegance, it's really an insult to elegance." An Mu gritted his teeth in anger.
Why did I drink so much even though I couldn't drink, so I wasn't afraid of drinking myself to death? It also made me embarrassed in front of my brother-in-law and brother-in-law...
An Mutong wished he could beat these two people up.
Looking back, he smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, we really came here to see what happened. As for before, it was just for entertainment. As you know, I am going to Mianyuan County to take up my post soon. I am sure
You need to have good relations with people from various government offices in the state. But don’t worry, Shaoyou, I have never done anything to disgrace your fifth sister. So, you must never mention this matter to your fifth sister..."
Like Xue Qingshan, An Mutong is also a little henpecked.
On the one hand, Qin Li taught well, and on the other hand, Qin An and An Mutong had a very good relationship.
Of course, Qin An loved to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he learned a lot of boxing and kicking skills from Qin Daoren. When he married An Mutong, he already had the cultivation of a ninth-grade martial artist, which was one of the reasons.
Before Qin Shaoyou could answer, Xue Qingshan gloated and added insult to injury.
"Shaoyou, don't believe what he says. As the saying goes, literati are sluts. These literati are all sluts, either externally or internally..."
An Mutong didn't wait for his brother-in-law to finish what he said, and interrupted angrily: "Fart, is this what literati and coquettish people mean? The coquettish here refers to poets or elegant people."
Xue Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, all poets are saucy, and so are you."
"I...you..." An Mutong pointed at Xue Qingshan, and was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
But soon, he discovered the situation on Xue Qingshan's face and sneered: "How dare you accuse me? You haven't even wiped off the rouge on your face."
"rouge?"
Xue Qingshan hurriedly reached out and touched his face a few times, and sure enough he touched some rouge.
A large blush instantly appeared on his dark face.
After a brief hesitation, he did not explain the rouge on his face, but decisively changed his words: "Shaoyou, I believe what your fifth brother-in-law said. He may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but he will never do anything
I’m sorry about your fifth sister!”
"Brothers!"
An Mutong stretched out his hand, gave Xue Qingshan a high-five, and said sternly: "I also believe in you, and you will not do anything to regret Third Sister!"
After the two high-fived each other, they held each other's hands, looking like they cherished each other.
This made Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but spit and cursed: "They're like a raccoon dog!"
Xue Qingshan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
An Mutong did the same. He laughed twice and forcibly changed the topic:
"Actually, I heard someone say today that a night watchman from Luocheng arrived in Jincheng and made a special trip to the inn to ask someone to help carry the letter. But I guess I went at the wrong time and no one was at the inn.
I gave the letter and the hard work fee to Yi Cheng and asked him to help deliver it. I really didn't expect that there were two of you among the night watchmen from Luocheng."
In his heart, he silently added: "If I had known you were coming to Jincheng, I would never have come to the brothel to entertain my colleagues. Even if I came, I would have avoided you and not said hello to you..."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then they heard a watchman not far away, banging his clapper and his gong, telling the time as he walked.
At this time, the curfew is coming soon.
An Mutong sighed: "It seems that we can't talk for long today, and this is not a good place to chat. What do you want to do tomorrow?"
Xue Qingshan replied: "Tomorrow I will go to the State Town Demon Division to report some things."
An Mutong immediately said: "Well, after you finish your official duties tomorrow, come home. I will hold a family dinner at home and we will have a good time together. Shaoyou, your fifth sister has not seen you for several years, but I miss you.
I thought about it so much that when I arrived in Jincheng a few days ago, I told me that I couldn’t wait to go back to Luocheng to see you and my parents.”
Xue Qingshan did not express his position in a hurry and turned to look at Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, smiled and nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to meet this fifth sister who "only existed in his memory", and he also wanted to see if he could get some news related to the noble person from An Mutong.
After all, An Mutong had worked in Jincheng before and had a certain network of connections, so he might know something about it.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou agreed, Xue Qingshan asked: "Lao An, where do you and Fifth Sister live now?"
"It's still the same house as before." An Mutong replied.
Then, he smiled and persuaded Mr. Qin: "When I went to the capital, I wanted to sell the house, but your fifth sister couldn't bear it, so I had to rent it out. The lease expired in the first two months, and I'm waiting.
I re-rented, and as a result, I received the appointment, so I simply stopped renting and lived there after I came back."
Qin Shaoyou nodded.
No matter how old or broken things are, she is reluctant to throw them away. It is indeed the fifth sister's character that has not changed since she was a child.
Unless the family really ran out of money, she would definitely only rent this house and not sell it.
Xue Qingshan didn't think so much and responded: "Okay, I know where it is. After the official business is over tomorrow, I will bring Young Master over."
An Mutong nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will be waiting for you two at home tomorrow. Haha, Shaoyou, your fifth sister will be very happy to see you."
The two sides said a few more words and then said goodbye.
An Mutong went home to inform his wife of the good news, while Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan returned to the inn to rest with a group of their men.
The night went by without incident, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day.
After getting up in the morning, Qin Shaoyou practiced the thunder sword technique in the courtyard of the post station, and then practiced the magic hammer technique. The boy of Yi Cheng was so excited that he cheered and almost didn't give him a reward.
After practicing, Qin Shaoyou fetched cold water from the well, washed his body, and went to have breakfast.
At this time, all his men were still sleeping soundly.
Qin Shaoyou didn't call them.
Traveling for several days was not only tiring, but everyone's heart strings were still tense and their spirits were very tired. Now that they have arrived in Jincheng, they can relax, so let them rest a little longer.
While Qin Shaoyou was eating breakfast, he was thinking in his mind, planning to wait until Cui Yougui got up and ask him about the Five Elements Escape Technique to see if he could learn a few tricks from him.
If you can, that would be the best.
If not, wait until you get back and ask the Taoist priests at Jade Emperor Temple to see if there are any corresponding talismans available.
Qin Shaoyou was eating when Xue Qingshan came over and sat opposite him, holding a large bowl of noodles. While eating, he talked to him about the case last night...
