Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 117



It was only when the servant girl walked out of the door and saw the brother and sister hugging each other that she shouted in surprise, “”Has dalang been released from prison?”

It was only then that Xu lingyue remembered that she was an unmarried maiden. She broke free from her brother’s arms and sobbed while hanging her head, her face as red as fire.

Xu Qi ‘an held his sister’s hand and entered the boudoir. The maidservant made him tea and stood at the side, listening to the conversation between the eldest young master and the eldest young miss.

“Go and inform the servants to boil some hot water. I want to take a bath.” Xu Qi ‘an ordered.

The maidservant went out to pass on the message, but who knew that when the servants heard it, their expressions changed greatly, and they shook their heads in refusal.

The maidservant felt wronged and went back to tell dalang. Dalang Xu was also very angry. He thought to himself, “are you servants too arrogant, or am I too weak to lift my blade?”

“Then help me boil the water.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The maidservant felt even more aggrieved, but she did not dare to refuse and left with a pout.

Xu Qi ‘an turned around and smiled at Xu lingyue.”His Majesty has allowed me to atone for my mistake. I’m fine for the time being.”

Xu lingyue nodded, her exquisite oval face looking a little Haggard. how did big brother fight with his colleagues? ”

Xu Qi ‘an briefly explained what had happened. Xu lingyue was furious and clenched her fists.”Younger sister is always assured when eldest brother does things.”

She revealed a bright smile and her eyes were filled with pride.

Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t help but pinch her face when she saw how beautiful she was.

Xu lingyue lowered her head shyly.

After taking a bath, they put on the night watchman’s uniform. Xu Qi ‘an and Xu lingying sat under the eaves in a row, each holding a big bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles.

It was a warm and harmonious scene.

“Lingying, I’ll trade meat for eggs,” Xu Qi ‘an said.

Xu Ling thought for a moment and shook his head. no, I don’t want to. Mother said that big brother cheated me of buns last time.

“Do you think big brother is lying to you?”

She tilted her head and thought about it seriously. “I’ve forgotten.”

Xu Qi. an said, ” that’s why I would never lie to you. I’m not trying to cheat you of your eggs. I just ...

Before he could finish, he saw Xu lingying spit at the egg.

Xu Qi ‘an was dumbfounded.

“Second brother taught me,” Xu linging said.

.... Indeed, scholars were not good people! Xu Qi ‘an lowered her head and ate, giving up on her younger sister’s egg.

“Lingying, you can’t eat this. It’s poisonous,” he threatened.

“Ah?” Xu lingying’s eyes widened. She looked at the bowl on her lap, then at her brother, shocked.

Xu Qi ‘an patiently explained to her, “”In the past, when you fell and scraped your skin, did your father use his saliva to wipe your wound?”

Xu Ling nodded.

Xu Qi ‘an said,’ that’s because saliva can ...’ it could kill dirty things. From this, it could be deduced that once saliva left the mouth, it was poisonous. From this, we can deduce that your egg noodles are poisoned and can’t be eaten.”

After he finished speaking, he saw Xu lingying’s little face turn white.

“Will I die?” Xu lingying pursed her lips and asked with tears in her eyes.

“I won’t die, but my stomach will hurt for many days.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

Xu lingying nodded and continued to eat her noodles.

Xu Qi ‘an: “??? ”

........

After eating the noodles, Xu Qi ‘an went to Xu Erlang’s room and found his Jade Mirror in the study. Xu Qi’ an put it in his arms and happened to see a few pages of paper at the corner of Xu Erlang’s table.

The paper was scribbled densely with illegible handwriting. It was an analysis of Xu Qi ‘an’s situation and an assessment of whether the Directorate of Celestials and the Yun Lu Academy would be of any use.

It was probably a thought that he had written down in the dead of the night while sitting in the study room in deep thought.

This little brother still has some skills ... Xu Qi ‘an smiled and left the study.

He rushed back to the Yamen and went to see Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan had been waiting for a long time. He pointed to the seat beside Yang Yan and said gently, “”Sit.”

Yang Yan handed over a file expressionlessly.

“I’ve asked the Golden Jade Hall, the spring breeze Hall, and the evil-suppressing Hall to work together on this case,” Wei Yuan said. You’re the host!”

Xu Qi ‘an was shocked.

“His Majesty personally gave the order,” Wei Yuan laughed.

When their eyes met, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood that Wei Yuan wanted to promote him through this ... He was directly appointed as the organizer, not to assist in the case.

Xu Qi ‘an opened the file and read it carefully. He asked directly, “”Is there something sealed under the Sang Bo?”

Wei Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Yang Yan’s usually expressionless face also showed a look of surprise.

Wei Yuan had told him the truth that something was sealed in the Mulberry Lake this morning. Nangong qianrou, who was smarter than him, only had a vague guess after the incident at the Mulberry Lake last night. She thought of the day when her foster father was looking through the information and dossiers in the warehouse, but she didn’t dare to confirm it.

Until this morning, when their foster father told them the truth.

...

However, this little Gong had directly pointed out that there was something sealed under the Sang Bo.

Wei Yuan’s surprised expression disappeared and he smiled, “”Tell me your reasoning.”

Xu Qi ‘an wanted to prove himself in front of Wei Yuan and said, “”Although sang Bo is a forbidden area of our Da Feng, to outsiders, the only thing of value is probably the nation-guarding divine sword.”

Speaking of this, he looked at the file. but it’s written that the nation-guarding divine sword is fine. The thief’s target must be something else.

“So I guess that there must be something in the temple of mountains and rivers? And why was this thing placed in sang Bo? If I may make a bold guess, that thing might need the nation protecting divine sword to seal it. ”

Xu Qi ‘an had actually deduced the process after knowing the answer.

His clear thinking and meticulous logic won Yang Yan’s task, and he appreciated and valued the little Gong under him more and more.

Not only was he talented, but he was also smart and capable. He was worth cultivating.

“Duke Wei should know about it ...” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“His Majesty didn’t say it clearly, but I have some guesses ...” Wei Yuan shook his head. His expression was serious, and his tone contained a warning.

“Your mission is to find out who destroyed the mountain river temple in Yongzhen. You have nothing to do with getting that thing back. If he encountered any unsolvable problems, he could just inform yang Jinluo, and he would step in.

...

His Majesty has given you a gold medal. You can walk in the Imperial City with this medal. Except for the harem and a few special places, you can go anywhere you want with this medal.

Xu Qi ‘an accepted the order and left.

Wei Yuan watched him leave and heard light footsteps coming from the stairs. He looked at Yang Yan and asked, “”I heard the supervisor is sick?”

Yang Yan nodded.

Wei Yuan’s eyes were calm, and he was silent for a long time, “”You old thing!”

.....

After leaving the noble spirit building, Xu Qi ‘an went straight to the spring breeze Hall and said, ” boss, gather the two silver gongs from the Golden Jade Hall and the evil subduing Hall at the front yard of the Yamen. Hurry up!

Li Yuchun was dumbfounded. After a while, he glared at her and said, “”You’re the boss, and I’m the boss?”

The little brother was actually ordering him around.

Xu Qi ‘an showed his gold medal. I’m now the organizer appointed by His Majesty. From today on, we’ll each have our own opinions. I’ll call you boss, and you’ll call me Lord.

“Boss, please invite the two silver gongs for the Lord.”

Li Yuchun walked away gloomily. He felt that something was strange.

Yin Luo from the evil suppression Hall was surnamed yang, named Feng. He was a tall and thin middle-aged man with dark skin and a big black mole between his eyebrows.

Yin Luo of the Golden Jade Hall was a man with a full beard called Min Shan. There was a slanted knife scar on his cheek, which made him look extremely fierce.

With the addition of Li Yuchun from spring breeze Hall, three silver gongs and twelve copper gongs quickly gathered in front of the courtyard.

According to the Yamen’s “custom,” before going out to handle a case, they had to gather in the front yard, and the host officer would take the lead in giving a speech to inspire people.

At the same time, it was also an act for the other night watchmen to see.

there was an explosion in Sangbo last night, and Yongzhen temple of mountains and rivers was destroyed. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Yamen to find out the truth and catch the culprit within half a month. Xu Qi ‘an pressed his saber with one hand, his posture straight and his eyes sharp.

I’m following His Majesty’s orders to investigate this case personally. All of you will work together and do your best to repay the emperor’s grace.

Xu Qian added in his heart,”if you manage the young models in the club well, if you don’t, you’ll be beheaded at the market.”

“Yes!” Everyone replied in unison.

Because they were all Yang Yan’s subordinates, everyone was still obedient, but they were a little unconvinced. They thought that Xu Qi ‘an was only a Gong, how could he have the experience and ability to handle such a big matter?

He didn’t know why his Majesty had appointed him as the chief of the case.

After leaving the watchman’s Yamen, min yinluo, who had a full beard, mounted her horse and asked, “”Lord Xu, where are we going?”

“Of course we’re going to the scene.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The group of people rode their horses to the Imperial City, choosing the most time-saving route:They crossed the Imperial City.

In fact, they could bypass the Imperial City to investigate the scene. With the gold medal in Xu Qi ‘an’s hand, he could do whatever he wanted to save time.

In any case, racing against time was the number one principle.

Led by the Imperial Army, the night watchmen arrived at Mulberry Lake. The scenery had changed greatly. The long corridor that connected the shore had been destroyed in the explosion, and the White jade platform in the center of the lake had disappeared into thin air.

The surface of the Sang Po River was clean and there was nothing there. Who would have thought that a Grand ancestral worship ceremony had been held here a few days ago?

A small boat was docked by the lake. Xu Qi ‘an said, “”Let’s go and take a look. We have to go into the water.”

Xu Qi ‘an took the lead and jumped onto the boat. He quietly reached into his arms, pulled the back of the Jade Mirror, and poured out the ” magic book ” that the great scholar had given him. He tore off a page and pulled it in his hand.

The other silver gongs boarded the ship after him, leaving behind twelve copper gongs and a row of Imperial Army soldiers on the shore.

Li Yuchun paddled to the center of the lake.

The tall and thin Yang Feng and yang yinluo glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and suddenly said, “”Lord Xu, I’ll go down.”

Xu Qi ‘an said,”then you can go into the water with me.”

As he spoke, he ignited the paper and activated the aura observation technique.

Clang ... He took out his sword, held it in his mouth, and jumped into the water.

The cold Lake water stimulated his pores, and a string of tiny bubbles came out of the corner of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth, which was holding the black gold long knife.

He tried his best to open his eyes and observe the situation underwater.

The foundation of the White marble platform extended all the way to the bottom of the lake, and the crack where the platform collapsed was more than ten feet above the water.

Xu Qi ‘an turned around and saw yang Yingluo following them.

The dark-skinned yang Yingluo also observed the collapse of the White marble platform and immediately came to a conclusion. He suppressed his own reasoning and planned to test the little Gong who had been entrusted with an important task after he went ashore.

At this moment, yang yinluo noticed that Xu Qi ‘an was diving into the water along the foundation of the White marble platform.

He quickly followed. The further down he went, the more blurry his vision became. In the end, all that was left was darkness.

Yang yinluo stopped following him and floated up.

“Whoosh ~”

He jumped out of the water and climbed onto the small boat. As he circulated his Qi to dry the cold Lake water, he looked at everyone.

“Lord Xu has gone to the bottom of the lake. It’s pitch black there, and I can’t see anything.”
