Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Qi'an stepped out of Haoqi Tower, stood at the bottom of the building, closed his eyes and focused for a moment, and left resolutely.
Leaving the yamen, riding a small mare, and running towards the yamen of the Ministry of Justice along the spacious and unimaginable main road of the inner city.
The main road is more than 100 meters wide and reaches the imperial city directly. It is the way the emperor takes when traveling.
This width is mainly to prevent assassins from lying ambushing on the roadside. Once they are subjected to cold arrows and assassinations, such a spacious road can provide sufficient buffer time for the imperial guards.
Soon, he arrived at the Ministry of Justice.
Xu Qian saw Uncle Xu from afar. He was wearing armor and holding sharp edges. He probably received the news while patrolling the streets, so he rushed over immediately.
Uncle Xu Er was blocked outside the gate by the guards of the Ministry of Justice.
The two guards shouted loudly, and one of them reached out and pushed Uncle Xu Er hard. He didn't dare to fight back and staggered back.
Why, a small imperial sword guard household dares to forcibly break into the Ministry of Justice?A guard pointed at Xu Pingzhi's nose and scolded, "Don't blame me for being too harsh if I don't get out."
Xu Pingzhi, who was in the Qi training realm, endured it hard, clenched his fists in a frustration, and said in a deep voice: I am Xu Xinnian’s father, and I have the right to visit prison.
Another guard mocked: The imperial examination fraud is a serious crime and no visits are allowed. This is a rule.You illiterate man, know a ball.
Xu Pingzhi really didn't know that the cases related to the imperial examination fraud were too far away from him and could not be touched.
Then you still ask me if I want thirty taels?Xu Pingzhi raised his eyebrows and was furious.
What's wrong with cheating you? This is the Ministry of Justice, but you still dare not take action.You try to move one.The guard sneered.
Huh…tui.
The other one was even more straightforward and spitted at Xu Pingzhi.
Xu Pingzhi hurriedly avoided.
The two guards laughed wildly.
call……
Uncle Xu slowly let out a breath and looked at the two soldiers coming out of the yamen. Obviously, as long as he dared to make trouble at the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he would be in trouble today.
I gave the handle to someone for nothing.
roll!
The guard looked down on him and scolded.
Dada dada... Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came. Looking at the sound, a strong horse rushed over and rushed to the jail of the Ministry of Justice.
Two guards hit the eyebrow and vertically.
Bang!
One of the guards was too late to avoid it, and was hit in the chest by the little mare, and flew out heavily. After struggling for a while, he slowly fell to the ground, and was injured and could not get up again.
Is there really someone who dares to commit an offense at the office of the Ministry of Justice?
Ning Banquet.
Xu Pingzhi felt relieved when he saw his nephew.
Clang... The sound of the sword drawing was connected. When the guards in the yamen heard the movement, they ran out with their knives, trying to cut the guy who dared to make trouble in the yamen of the Ministry of Justice to cut into pieces.
But after they saw that the Yin Gong sitting on the horse was Xu Qi'an, they all fell silent.
The head guard took back his knife and clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: Lord Xu, this is the Ministry of Justice.You should know that if you hit the Ministry of Justice and injured the guards, you will be imprisoned or exiled at the least, and beheaded at the worst.
Xu Qian ignored him, turned over and dismounted, kicked the guard who was stalkingly legs and feet, avoiding the little mare's ramming.
Oh... the guard screamed and rolled to the ground.
Xu Qi'an took off his sword after he held it in his hand and beat it. The muffled sound of the scabbard whipping the skin and flesh was shocking.
The guard screamed.
Lord Xu!
Call me Lord Viscount.
The guard leader choked, pretended not to hear it, and shouted: You really have no master in the Ministry of Justice. Are you really not afraid of Your crimes being reduced, and are you afraid of obeying the law?
Even if you let the horse come over, this is a mess, and I, Xu Qi'an, will be in vain in the capital.Xu Qian sneered, waved his scabbard and continued to whip.
The guard could dodge at the beginning, or raise his hand to resist. After tugging for more than a dozen times, his eyes began to turn white and he was dying.
The guard leader gritted his teeth, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the knife jumped, but he did not dare to really fight the arrogant silver gong.
The scene of the battle that day is vivid in my mind, and Xu Qi'an's voice has not yet dissipated. At this critical moment, no one dares to confront him head-on.
The most important thing is that this person has a gold medal to protect him. Even if he kills him at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, he will be dismissed from office and dismissed from office and will have no worries about his life.
Seeing that the guard had a breath left, Xu Qi'an stopped and hung his sword back to his back, and said lightly: Thirty taels of silver are just used as the medical expenses for the two doctors and the cost of the medicine.
After venting his anger, he stared at the guard leader and said: Go in and spread, I want to see Xu Xinnian.
Hearing this, the guard leader did not refuse or respond. He gestured to his subordinates to carry the two injured into the yamen for treatment. He looked at Xu Qi'an deeply and retreated back to the yamen.
After a while, the guard leader returned and said, "Shangsun has invited you."
Xu Qi'an tied the reins to the stone lion at the entrance of the yamen and turned around and greeted: Second uncle, let's go in together.
Xu Pingzhi followed silently. The two entered the yamen and walked through the front yard and corridor. Uncle Xu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent.
The guard took his uncle and nephew into the side hall. On the main seat of the side hall, Shangshu Sun, wearing a blush robe, was waiting with a serious face and expressionless face.
Have met Shangshu Sun.Xu Qi'an clasped his fists.
Sun Shangshu did not look at his eyes, and he seemed to have no Xu Qi'an in his eyes, and said lightly: Two words are missing.
After staring at Sun Shangshu for a few seconds, Xu Qi'an bent his spine, and the tone of meeting his superiors in the lower class, clasping his fists: I have met Sun Shangshu.I want to meet Xu Xinnian at first sight
Seeing this scene, Xu Pingzhi's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
Shangshu Sun smiled with a satisfied smile and said: Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime, and visiting family members is a normal human nature.
Suddenly, the topic changed: No.
...Xu Pingzhi gritted his teeth.
After saying that, Shangshu Sun stopped looking at his uncle and nephew and picked up the teacup.In the officialdom, halfway through the words, the host serves tea but does not drink it, which means seeing off guests.
I won’t disturb Mr. Sun.Xu Qi'an turned around and left.
Looking at the backs of uncles and nephews, Sun Shangshu said lightly: There are a few thorns in the yard. I heard that Lord Xu has cultivated a golden body in Buddhism. Are you interested in trying it?
Xu Qi'an left without looking back.
Xu Pingzhi walked out of the Ministry of Justice and cursed: The minister raised by the bitch also wants you to carry the slander to apologize. Even if I draw my sword and chop him, I will not agree.
Why did the second uncle come so quickly?Xu Qi'an asked.
You came too slowly. After receiving the message, I immediately went home to comfort your aunt and Lingyue, but it turned out to be useless... Uncle Xu Er said with a headache:
I just know how to cry. Alas, Ning Yan, what should I do?
Although Xu Pingzhi was a vulgar martial artist, he knew about the festival between the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy.On the way here, I tried my best to analyze it and felt that Erlang's imprisonment was probably related to this matter.
This matter is very complicated. Second Uncle, please go back first, I have something to do.
Xu Qian didn't want to waste his time, so he stepped on the little mare and ran along the street.
Wei Yuan's words appeared in his mind:
The first step is to stop the Ministry of Justice from making trouble. Chen Fuyin of the government office is slick and good at everything. Once this matter is confirmed, he will most likely not want to offend Shangshu Sun.
Shangshu Sun hated me to the core, and the imperial examination fraud case gave him a chance to retaliate, and even this was what he promoted.No matter how bad it is, it is also one of the participants. It is almost impossible to make him treat Erlang well.
The little mare ran out of sweat and panting, and finally stopped in a yard in the outer city.
Taoist priest, Taoist priest, Jianghu emergency...
Xu Qi'an pushed open the yard door and headed straight to the inner room. He saw Taoist Jinlian lying peacefully on the bed, as if he was asleep.
Again, he went to the cat again... He was so anxious that when he saw this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
There was the last time that the little mare had a love kick and had a purpose of asking for help. Xu Qi'an did not physically awaken Taoist Jinlian. He sat at the table and waited silently. In less than three minutes, a slender shadow appeared at the door.
What's up.
Taoist Master Jinlian squatted on the threshold, his voice gentle and calm, as if he was used to talking in this way.
My cousin Xu Xinnian was involved in the imperial examination fraud case...
Xu Qi'an briefly told the whole story of the matter, and then said: Master Taoist, I need your help.
The orange cat's amber pupils stared quietly, vibrating the air, and said:
I don’t know enough about the officialdom of Dafeng and cannot give you effective suggestions. You shouldn’t come to me for this matter. Wei Yuan is a master of political struggle.If the political and fighting are classified into grades, Wei Yuan is the second grade.
Xu Qi'an, who was originally very anxious, couldn't help but follow this topic: Is it just a second-grade?Then who is the first grade?
The orange cat smiled and said: Of course, it is Emperor Jing of Yuan. In terms of the emperor's mind, Emperor Jing of Yuan has reached the pinnacle.Both Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen are expected to be a top political fight, but their ideas are not consistent and their political views are different.
Emperor Jing of Yuan specially placed two tigers in the court, and he really sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
It makes sense...wait, aren't you saying that you don't know much about the court situation?Xu Qian cursed in his heart and asked:
Does the Taoist priest think that there is a level beyond the level of political struggle?
Of course, Taoist Master Jinlian raised his claws, licked them, and said: The highest level of political struggle is to defeat everything with force. No one dares to disobey them with just one word.This is true for every founding emperor.
The Taoist priest seemed to be gradually affected by cat habits... Sure enough, any creature is actually the body that controls the brain, and the hormones secreted by the body determine what you have to do... You have to eat when you are hungry, you have to sleep when you are sleepy, you have to drink water when you are thirsty, and you have to give alms to female pilgrims when you are full. So the question is, Taoist Jinlian likes female cats or female cats?
At this time, the orange cat sighed, put down its claws, and said quietly:
You seem to like wandering on the edge of life and death.
And jump repeatedly?This sentence flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and then quickly turned the topic back and said: Taoist priest, I want to ask you for help...
……
Following the canal outside the capital, to the south, ten miles away from the outskirts of the city, there is a lake with vast smoke and waves, surrounded by green mountains on both sides, lotus flowers in the lake, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
There are also farmhouses, teahouses and restaurants with smoke rising from the lake.
Because this place is located in the outskirts of Beijing, it can be reached by boat, which is fast and convenient, so every spring, there are countless young men and wealthy daughters who take a boat to the lake, which is very lively.
An exquisite embroidery boat was moored on the shore. Wang Simu was dressed up today, wearing the popular wide-sleeved gauze skirt. The pattern color was the same as the background color, which was both complex and exquisite, and low-key and restrained.
The makeup is exquisite, with a beautiful bun, and the black hairpin is decorated with golden hairpins and jade hairpins, which are completely based on date standards.
But an hour passed, and I had been traveling back and forth between the lake and Miss Wang's boat was still parked in place, and I was in a very unbeautiful mood.
Miss, forget it, let’s go back.The maid whispered: Xu Huiyuan won’t come.
Did you not send the news?Wang Simu did not accept this reality and glared at the maid gently, trying to give up the blame for Xu Xinnian.
How dare I Ah, I must have been given it.The maid said aggrievedly.
Wang Simu sat there for a long time, unable to hide her loss in her bright eyes, and said softly: Forget it, go back.
Why.The maid responded lightly, took a small step to leave the cabin, and went to the stern to inform the boatman to return.
The boatmen pulled the anchor up from the water, rowed the oars together, and the embroidered boats slowly marched along the canal to return to the capital.
After returning to the Beijing Wharf, Wang Simu entered the carriage waiting on the roadside and ordered: Lan'er, you go to Xu's mansion immediately, and said I want to go to play with Miss Lingyue.
I'll wait here for half an hour before setting off.
Miss, why is this Ah.The maid frowned.
Even if he has no intention of me, I must know clearly.Miss Wang is very aggressive.
……
During the Spring Examination, Xu Xinnian of the Yuan Dynasty was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for suspected fraud and was imprisoned.
This major case that was destined to shake the entire capital was spread from the government office and the Ministry of Justice, and then through the six ministries, it quietly spread throughout the officialdom in the capital.
After a few days of fermentation and spreading, it will be known to everyone by then.
During lunch break, familiar officials and officials gathered in restaurants, teahouses and other places to discuss fraud cases of imperial examinations.
I knew that if the students of Yunlu Academy received the Huiyuan period, would the court officials agree?Isn't this coming?
You only know one thing but not the other. This matter is definitely not that simple. Then Xu Xinnian is Xu Qi'an's cousin, Xu Qi'an is the leader of poetry, and such masterpieces as "The Difficulty in Walking the Road"... I don't believe it if you say it's okay.
Nonsense, is there only one Xu Qi'an in this world who writes poems?We scholars cannot have a flash of inspiration, but we can get it by chance?
OK, it makes no sense to argue about this.Xu Huiyuan made a decision this time, regardless of whether there is fraud or not, his future will be ruined.I remember that in the twelfth year of Yuanjing, there was a fraud case, and three students were involved. The case was investigated for two years, but it was finally released, but its reputation was ruined and its academic performance was abandoned.
Similar cases occurred in the 20th year of Yuanjing, but that time the evidence was conclusive, and the students and examiners involved in the case were all beheaded by His Majesty.
If this case is confirmed, as a student of Xu Xinnian Yunlu Academy... Hiss, he thought about it and there was no possibility of turning around. Do you think Wei will take action?
It is very likely that Xu Qi'an is the confidant of Duke Wei, so he must ask Duke Wei to take action.
What if Mr. Wei stopped watching?
If Mr. Wei doesn’t take action, who else can save Xu Huiyuan? Will he expect that martial artist Xu Qi'an?He may be a good player to solve cases and kill enemies.How could a mere warrior understand the tricks in the officialdom?
Chu Yuanzhen, who was staying at his old friend's house, also learned about this from his friend who returned from the yamen during lunch.
No. 3 was caught in the imperial examination fraud case... Although No. 3 was extremely smart, the battle between Yunlu Academy and the Imperial College was an irreversible trend, and it was not smart enough to make up for it... The best outcome was to eliminate fame and reputation. No. 3 could not be an official, which was the loss of the court...
I heard that this matter was impeached by the new Right Censor, but I guess, all parties may be watching or secretly helping, and the New Year is in danger.said a friend.
Chu Yuanzhen sighed and said in a deep voice: I was tired of party struggles and left the temple.Since ancient times, party struggles have damaged national strength, while emperors have damaged their luck.
My friend's face changed drastically: Yuan Zhen, be careful of his words.
What are you afraid of? I have been a white-clothed person, free and easy.Chu Yuanzhen sneered and then sighed: I have been thinking for a long time but I can't break the deadlock.Unless Wei Yuan ends up fighting, with Xu Ningyan's potential, Wei Yuan should make a decision.
However, this may be exactly what those people want to see.Alas, I still can't break the deadlock.
……
Imperial Palace.
Dexinyuan, Huai Qing, wearing a plain palace skirt, sat behind the table and nodded to the guard in the room: I understand, you should step down.
After the chief guard left, Huaiqing stood up, walked to the window, frowned and pondered: If it were me, how could I break the deadlock?
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed.
Then, she suddenly thought again, what would he do if it were Xu Ningyan?
……
In an inner city restaurant, Sun Yaoyue booked a private room and invited classmates and friends from the Imperial College to drink. The main purpose was to share a major event that was about to shock the scholars in the capital.
During the Spring Examination, the New Year of Huiyuan was arrested by my father this morning. It is said that it was because of fraud in the imperial examination and bribing the examiner.
The news is true?The students of the Imperial College were shocked.
Of course it is true. I went to the yamen to confirm and asked my father. Although he was kicked out of the yamen, Mr. Zhu had already revealed it to me.Then Xu Xinnian is in prison, waiting for arraignment.Sun Yaoyue glanced at all the friends and said proudly.
Sun Yaoyue is the only legitimate son of Shangshu Sun. He has a good academic performance and is better than most playboys, but he has a problem and is particularly fond of gossip.
Sun Yaoyue was both jealous and angry about Xu Xinnian High School Huiyuan, a student of Yunlu Academy. Now he is in jail for fraud in the imperial examination, so he is so happy.
The silver roul was not a son of man. Relying on the protection of Wei Yingou, he showed off his power in the capital and wrote poems to insult my father. He should have been cut into pieces.
Sun Yaoyue slapped the table suddenly and laughed wildly: If you can't cut him, just cut his cousin.Hahaha, drink and drink.
When the students of Imperial College heard this news, they were surprised and relieved. That's right, the Huiyuan period in the spring exam allowed a student from Yunlu Academy to be able to do so. Where is the dignity of these scholars of Imperial College?
It is definitely fraud, it is definitely fraud, and no other reasons are accepted.
Brother Sun, it is better to have fun than to have fun alone. This is a great pleasure to make it widely circulated.
It makes sense, just do it like this, see you tonight.
After drinking and eating, Sun Yaoyue left the restaurant drunk and entered the carriage parked outside the restaurant. With the help of her entourage, she climbed onto the carriage.
He was about to take a nap for a moment, and saw a slender orange cat squatting on the soft-skinned side, with amber pupils looking at him faintly.
There was no movement, the carriage continued to move forward, the window suddenly opened, and the orange cat jumped out. Its tail was upright, and the kitten walked very fast and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
……
Ministry of Justice.
Shangshu Sun recruited an official and asked: Go to prison and ask, did Xu Xinnian confess?
The official took the order and retreated. After a few minutes, he returned to the office: Lord Shangshu, Xu Xinnian was very hard and refused to confess no matter how hard he beat him.
That was not enough to beat him. Shangshu Sun snorted coldly and said: The Ministry of Justice has a lot of torture. I will taste it one by one, and the stone will make it bloom. Well, just keep a breath.
yes.
The official retreated, and as soon as he left, he rushed in in panic, dressed as a rich man, with gray hair, and tripped a little when he passed the threshold.
What are you doing in the yamen? Shangshu Sun asked with a frown.
This person is the butler of the Sun Mansion, and he has been with Sun Shangshu for decades.
Master, something is not good... The old housekeeper cried and said tremblingly: Young Master, he is gone.
What does the young master disappear?
Sun Shangshu's face changed slightly, he got up and walked over, stared at the old housekeeper, and repeated in a deep voice: What does the young master disappear?!
The servant who followed the young master out and returned to the mansion to report not long ago. Today, the young master invited classmates in the restaurant. After drinking, he got into the carriage... and then disappeared. When the carriage returned to the mansion, he found that there was no one in the carriage at all.
The old butler scratched his ears and cheeks, anxiously and confused, and said carefully: The guest at the mansion said, "His, why did the master offend someone recently?"
There is a set of unspoken rules in the officialdom of Dafeng. Political struggle will never harm your family.It’s not how high the moral bottom line is, but that when you are in the first grade of junior high school, others can also do the fifteenth grade.
They will also be regarded as not understanding the rules and are rejected by the entire class.
This unspoken rule is very authoritative, and even the court agrees with it, and it is not explicitly stipulated because it cannot be put on the table.
But Dafeng has a system that once any official enters Beijing as an official, his parents, wife and children must enter the capital together.
What is the significance of this system?
A system paves the way for an unspoken rule, which shows how authoritative this unspoken rule is.
Who did you offend?...Sun Shangshu murmured to himself, and this bitch Xu Qi'an naturally appeared in his mind.
madness!
Shangshu Sun shouted loudly, his beard was full of stern hair, and he was furious and roared: I think I can make my official surrender if I kidnapped my son?The yellow-haired child destroys the Great Wall.
If my son makes any mistakes, there will be no place for you to stand in the entire capital.No, your whole family will die.
After roaring, he swept all the notes on the table to the ground, and the tea cup was smashed to pieces, and the pen, ink, paper and ink were scattered all over the floor.
The old housekeeper was silent and did not dare to show off. The master had been an official for many years and had already developed a scheming state of being unlucky with fame and disgrace.
This angry look happened twice. The previous time was the extremely humiliating poem, and the two times it was because of this yellow-haired child named Xu Qi'an.
Shangshu Sun suddenly lifted the hem of his official robe and ran out of the house with agile and fitness that was not in line with his age.
Master, what instructions do you have to let the old slave do it...
The old butler chased after him and said loudly.
Shangshu Sun ignored it and roared: If you come, go to the prison quickly. No punishment shall be carried out, no punishment shall be carried out...
The sky of the Ministry of Justice's yamen echoes the "Sun Shangshu's Inability to Move (Breaking the Pronunciation).
……
A quarter of an hour later, at this time, Sun Shangshu, who had been calm, returned to the hall panting, took the hot tea offered by the old housekeeper, and took a big sip.
The yellow-haired child dares to threaten his official position, ignorant and stupid!
After scolding, Shangshu Sun changed his mind and ordered the butler: You should go to the Kengren Yamen immediately and let the dog thief who killed that day come to see me.
Although the other party broke the rules, Shangshu Sun is not tough now. Of course, it is best to be able to negotiate. He will first save his son and then settle the score with the dog thief named Xu.
The butler nodded and turned around and was about to leave when he saw a guard crossing the threshold and clasped his fists and said: Lord Shangshu, then Xu Qi'an is here again.
It's just here!
Sun Shangshu's eyes shot out from his eyes, and he instantly straightened his back: Let him come in.
Suddenly, the guard brought Xu Qi'an in a silver gong-distance uniform. The dog thief named Xu looked smiling and walked leisurely in the garden, unlike when he was asking for a meeting in the morning, he had a calm face and suppressed his anger.
And the expression of Sun Shangshu at this moment was exactly like Xu Qi'an at that time.
Where is my son and grandson Yaoyue? Xu Qi'an, let him go home quickly. I can think that this has never happened.Sun Shangshu did not look at his eyes, as if Xu Qi'an was not in his eyes.
What's the meaning?This official doesn't understand Ah.
Xu Qi'an looked innocent. After thinking about it, his face suddenly changed: So Ah, Shangshu Sun not only wrongly accused my cousin of the imperial examination fraud, but even I wanted to frame him. There are such despicable and shameless people in the world.
you……
Shangshu Sun finally moved his eyes and stared at Xu Qi'an. He did not speak, but retreated from the officials in the hall.Then, word by word:
I am aware that you are young and do not understand the rules, so I am willing to give you a chance.If you still want to stay in the officialdom of the capital, just let the people go.
Xu Qi'an shook his head and said: Shangshu Sun must have made a mistake. I don't know what you are talking about.
After a pause, he suddenly realized and said with concern: Listen to what Shangshu Sun said, is there something wrong with the noble prince?Kidnapped by thieves?You tell me Ah, I am the most anxious and righteous person, and no one can match the case.As long as Shangshu Sun speaks, I promise that he will be retrieved for you within one day.
Pretending to be stupid with me...Shangshu Sun was angry and said viciously: Xu Qi'an, don't forget that you also have family members.
Xu Qi'an sighed and looked sad: Lord Shangshu, you don't know me.My parents died since childhood, and my second uncle raised me.
However, my aunt bullied me and humiliated me in every way. When she was fifteen, she drove me out of the house and let me live in a doghouse.Unfortunately, I don’t have a father who has a hundred thousand troops surrounded me and can be crooked...
Xu Qi'an!Shangshu Sun interrupted with anger, stared at him for a long time, and whispered:
What exactly do you want?The imperial examination fraud case is investigated by Your Majesty. The Ministry of Justice and the government office are in charge of trial. The civil and military officials in the court are staring at me, but I have the final say.If you want to use my son as a threat, I can only fight to the death with you.Stop being naive!
Nowadays, whoever is more arrogant can take advantage of him... The importance of my cousin is naturally not as important as that of my son. I can be cruel, but he can't... Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes, walked to Sun Shangshu, and whispered:
I only have one requirement: Xu Xinnian is not allowed to be punished during his imprisonment, and he will not be punished.He lost one finger, and I broke one of your fingers. I would leave as many wounds as he had on his body.
After the fraud case of the imperial examination, no matter whether Xu Xinnian can get rid of the crime or not, I will let your son go as he said.
Xu Qi'an...
Shangshu Sun was about to scold him, but Xu Qi'an suddenly turned black, his face turned ferocious, and he said sternly: Call me Lord Viscount.
...Sun Shangshu surrendered and said in a deep voice: Lord Viscount, why should I believe you?
Xu Qi'an walked slowly to the table, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it lightly:
Does Shangshu Sun choose any of them?If you believe it or not, you must do it according to my wishes.Unless you don't want a legitimate son.I didn't ask you to help Xu Xinnian get rid of his sins, but just asked you not to do extra things.This is not difficult.
He walked up to Sun Shangshu, wiped the robe, and said in a deep voice: As you said, I also have family.
This step was taught by Wei Yuan, but the methods and plans were what he thought of, and Wei Yuan had no idea.
Doing nothing and hoping that your opponent will be kind is just a dream. The joke and cold reception you encountered in the Ministry of Justice this morning are just a good proof.
If you want to knock down the enemy, you must seize the opponent's weakness.
Most of the weaknesses are the closest relatives.However, it is a taboo to harm your family, and Xu Qi'an has to consider and control the standards himself.
Therefore, he did not think that just one Sun Yaoyue could save Erlang from being free.Only Sun Yaoyue and Shangshu Sun made a deal, which greatly reduced the difficulty and lighter nature.
As for Shangshu Sun's disagreement and insisted on torture Xu Erlang, Xu Qi'an also did what he said.Even Sun Shangshu was asked to give the black-haired man a white-haired man a black-haired man a white-haired man.
So far, everything is within his expectations, thanks to the good grasp of the scale.
Shangshu Sun breathed: I believe you once, I will not torture Xu Erlang, and I hope that when my son returns home, he will be safe and sound, otherwise he will bear the consequences.
This is nature.Xu Qi'an snorted.
But I'm not at ease with you, I'm going to meet Xu Xinnian.Please let me arrange it.
As he said that, he walked to the door with his relatives unrecognizable steps, suddenly turned around and smiled: By the way, Lord Viscount... He called him well.
Sun Shangshu's face was gloomy and his beard was trembling with anger.
……
Crazy...
In the sound of the chain sliding, the prison guard opened the door to the prison, and a damp and decayed breath came to his face.
Under the leadership of the prison guard, Xu Qi'an walked through the dim passage and came to the cell where Xu Xinnian was imprisoned.
Xu Xinnian closed his eyes and rested against the wall. He was wearing a prison uniform, with a pale face and blood on his body.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the little brother, Xu Qi'an's face suddenly became dark. After all, he was one step late. Erlang suffered a little in prison.
He underestimated Sun Shangshu's determination to take revenge.
Xu Qi'an whispered: Erlang, Erlang...
Xu Erlang was stunned for a moment, suspected that he had heard it wrong, and opened his eyes in shock.
Leaving the yamen, riding a small mare, and running towards the yamen of the Ministry of Justice along the spacious and unimaginable main road of the inner city.
The main road is more than 100 meters wide and reaches the imperial city directly. It is the way the emperor takes when traveling.
This width is mainly to prevent assassins from lying ambushing on the roadside. Once they are subjected to cold arrows and assassinations, such a spacious road can provide sufficient buffer time for the imperial guards.
Soon, he arrived at the Ministry of Justice.
Xu Qian saw Uncle Xu from afar. He was wearing armor and holding sharp edges. He probably received the news while patrolling the streets, so he rushed over immediately.
Uncle Xu Er was blocked outside the gate by the guards of the Ministry of Justice.
The two guards shouted loudly, and one of them reached out and pushed Uncle Xu Er hard. He didn't dare to fight back and staggered back.
Why, a small imperial sword guard household dares to forcibly break into the Ministry of Justice?A guard pointed at Xu Pingzhi's nose and scolded, "Don't blame me for being too harsh if I don't get out."
Xu Pingzhi, who was in the Qi training realm, endured it hard, clenched his fists in a frustration, and said in a deep voice: I am Xu Xinnian’s father, and I have the right to visit prison.
Another guard mocked: The imperial examination fraud is a serious crime and no visits are allowed. This is a rule.You illiterate man, know a ball.
Xu Pingzhi really didn't know that the cases related to the imperial examination fraud were too far away from him and could not be touched.
Then you still ask me if I want thirty taels?Xu Pingzhi raised his eyebrows and was furious.
What's wrong with cheating you? This is the Ministry of Justice, but you still dare not take action.You try to move one.The guard sneered.
Huh…tui.
The other one was even more straightforward and spitted at Xu Pingzhi.
Xu Pingzhi hurriedly avoided.
The two guards laughed wildly.
call……
Uncle Xu slowly let out a breath and looked at the two soldiers coming out of the yamen. Obviously, as long as he dared to make trouble at the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he would be in trouble today.
I gave the handle to someone for nothing.
roll!
The guard looked down on him and scolded.
Dada dada... Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came. Looking at the sound, a strong horse rushed over and rushed to the jail of the Ministry of Justice.
Two guards hit the eyebrow and vertically.
Bang!
One of the guards was too late to avoid it, and was hit in the chest by the little mare, and flew out heavily. After struggling for a while, he slowly fell to the ground, and was injured and could not get up again.
Is there really someone who dares to commit an offense at the office of the Ministry of Justice?
Ning Banquet.
Xu Pingzhi felt relieved when he saw his nephew.
Clang... The sound of the sword drawing was connected. When the guards in the yamen heard the movement, they ran out with their knives, trying to cut the guy who dared to make trouble in the yamen of the Ministry of Justice to cut into pieces.
But after they saw that the Yin Gong sitting on the horse was Xu Qi'an, they all fell silent.
The head guard took back his knife and clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: Lord Xu, this is the Ministry of Justice.You should know that if you hit the Ministry of Justice and injured the guards, you will be imprisoned or exiled at the least, and beheaded at the worst.
Xu Qian ignored him, turned over and dismounted, kicked the guard who was stalkingly legs and feet, avoiding the little mare's ramming.
Oh... the guard screamed and rolled to the ground.
Xu Qi'an took off his sword after he held it in his hand and beat it. The muffled sound of the scabbard whipping the skin and flesh was shocking.
The guard screamed.
Lord Xu!
Call me Lord Viscount.
The guard leader choked, pretended not to hear it, and shouted: You really have no master in the Ministry of Justice. Are you really not afraid of Your crimes being reduced, and are you afraid of obeying the law?
Even if you let the horse come over, this is a mess, and I, Xu Qi'an, will be in vain in the capital.Xu Qian sneered, waved his scabbard and continued to whip.
The guard could dodge at the beginning, or raise his hand to resist. After tugging for more than a dozen times, his eyes began to turn white and he was dying.
The guard leader gritted his teeth, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the knife jumped, but he did not dare to really fight the arrogant silver gong.
The scene of the battle that day is vivid in my mind, and Xu Qi'an's voice has not yet dissipated. At this critical moment, no one dares to confront him head-on.
The most important thing is that this person has a gold medal to protect him. Even if he kills him at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, he will be dismissed from office and dismissed from office and will have no worries about his life.
Seeing that the guard had a breath left, Xu Qi'an stopped and hung his sword back to his back, and said lightly: Thirty taels of silver are just used as the medical expenses for the two doctors and the cost of the medicine.
After venting his anger, he stared at the guard leader and said: Go in and spread, I want to see Xu Xinnian.
Hearing this, the guard leader did not refuse or respond. He gestured to his subordinates to carry the two injured into the yamen for treatment. He looked at Xu Qi'an deeply and retreated back to the yamen.
After a while, the guard leader returned and said, "Shangsun has invited you."
Xu Qi'an tied the reins to the stone lion at the entrance of the yamen and turned around and greeted: Second uncle, let's go in together.
Xu Pingzhi followed silently. The two entered the yamen and walked through the front yard and corridor. Uncle Xu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent.
The guard took his uncle and nephew into the side hall. On the main seat of the side hall, Shangshu Sun, wearing a blush robe, was waiting with a serious face and expressionless face.
Have met Shangshu Sun.Xu Qi'an clasped his fists.
Sun Shangshu did not look at his eyes, and he seemed to have no Xu Qi'an in his eyes, and said lightly: Two words are missing.
After staring at Sun Shangshu for a few seconds, Xu Qi'an bent his spine, and the tone of meeting his superiors in the lower class, clasping his fists: I have met Sun Shangshu.I want to meet Xu Xinnian at first sight
Seeing this scene, Xu Pingzhi's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
Shangshu Sun smiled with a satisfied smile and said: Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime, and visiting family members is a normal human nature.
Suddenly, the topic changed: No.
...Xu Pingzhi gritted his teeth.
After saying that, Shangshu Sun stopped looking at his uncle and nephew and picked up the teacup.In the officialdom, halfway through the words, the host serves tea but does not drink it, which means seeing off guests.
I won’t disturb Mr. Sun.Xu Qi'an turned around and left.
Looking at the backs of uncles and nephews, Sun Shangshu said lightly: There are a few thorns in the yard. I heard that Lord Xu has cultivated a golden body in Buddhism. Are you interested in trying it?
Xu Qi'an left without looking back.
Xu Pingzhi walked out of the Ministry of Justice and cursed: The minister raised by the bitch also wants you to carry the slander to apologize. Even if I draw my sword and chop him, I will not agree.
Why did the second uncle come so quickly?Xu Qi'an asked.
You came too slowly. After receiving the message, I immediately went home to comfort your aunt and Lingyue, but it turned out to be useless... Uncle Xu Er said with a headache:
I just know how to cry. Alas, Ning Yan, what should I do?
Although Xu Pingzhi was a vulgar martial artist, he knew about the festival between the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy.On the way here, I tried my best to analyze it and felt that Erlang's imprisonment was probably related to this matter.
This matter is very complicated. Second Uncle, please go back first, I have something to do.
Xu Qian didn't want to waste his time, so he stepped on the little mare and ran along the street.
Wei Yuan's words appeared in his mind:
The first step is to stop the Ministry of Justice from making trouble. Chen Fuyin of the government office is slick and good at everything. Once this matter is confirmed, he will most likely not want to offend Shangshu Sun.
Shangshu Sun hated me to the core, and the imperial examination fraud case gave him a chance to retaliate, and even this was what he promoted.No matter how bad it is, it is also one of the participants. It is almost impossible to make him treat Erlang well.
The little mare ran out of sweat and panting, and finally stopped in a yard in the outer city.
Taoist priest, Taoist priest, Jianghu emergency...
Xu Qi'an pushed open the yard door and headed straight to the inner room. He saw Taoist Jinlian lying peacefully on the bed, as if he was asleep.
Again, he went to the cat again... He was so anxious that when he saw this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
There was the last time that the little mare had a love kick and had a purpose of asking for help. Xu Qi'an did not physically awaken Taoist Jinlian. He sat at the table and waited silently. In less than three minutes, a slender shadow appeared at the door.
What's up.
Taoist Master Jinlian squatted on the threshold, his voice gentle and calm, as if he was used to talking in this way.
My cousin Xu Xinnian was involved in the imperial examination fraud case...
Xu Qi'an briefly told the whole story of the matter, and then said: Master Taoist, I need your help.
The orange cat's amber pupils stared quietly, vibrating the air, and said:
I don’t know enough about the officialdom of Dafeng and cannot give you effective suggestions. You shouldn’t come to me for this matter. Wei Yuan is a master of political struggle.If the political and fighting are classified into grades, Wei Yuan is the second grade.
Xu Qi'an, who was originally very anxious, couldn't help but follow this topic: Is it just a second-grade?Then who is the first grade?
The orange cat smiled and said: Of course, it is Emperor Jing of Yuan. In terms of the emperor's mind, Emperor Jing of Yuan has reached the pinnacle.Both Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen are expected to be a top political fight, but their ideas are not consistent and their political views are different.
Emperor Jing of Yuan specially placed two tigers in the court, and he really sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
It makes sense...wait, aren't you saying that you don't know much about the court situation?Xu Qian cursed in his heart and asked:
Does the Taoist priest think that there is a level beyond the level of political struggle?
Of course, Taoist Master Jinlian raised his claws, licked them, and said: The highest level of political struggle is to defeat everything with force. No one dares to disobey them with just one word.This is true for every founding emperor.
The Taoist priest seemed to be gradually affected by cat habits... Sure enough, any creature is actually the body that controls the brain, and the hormones secreted by the body determine what you have to do... You have to eat when you are hungry, you have to sleep when you are sleepy, you have to drink water when you are thirsty, and you have to give alms to female pilgrims when you are full. So the question is, Taoist Jinlian likes female cats or female cats?
At this time, the orange cat sighed, put down its claws, and said quietly:
You seem to like wandering on the edge of life and death.
And jump repeatedly?This sentence flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and then quickly turned the topic back and said: Taoist priest, I want to ask you for help...
……
Following the canal outside the capital, to the south, ten miles away from the outskirts of the city, there is a lake with vast smoke and waves, surrounded by green mountains on both sides, lotus flowers in the lake, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
There are also farmhouses, teahouses and restaurants with smoke rising from the lake.
Because this place is located in the outskirts of Beijing, it can be reached by boat, which is fast and convenient, so every spring, there are countless young men and wealthy daughters who take a boat to the lake, which is very lively.
An exquisite embroidery boat was moored on the shore. Wang Simu was dressed up today, wearing the popular wide-sleeved gauze skirt. The pattern color was the same as the background color, which was both complex and exquisite, and low-key and restrained.
The makeup is exquisite, with a beautiful bun, and the black hairpin is decorated with golden hairpins and jade hairpins, which are completely based on date standards.
But an hour passed, and I had been traveling back and forth between the lake and Miss Wang's boat was still parked in place, and I was in a very unbeautiful mood.
Miss, forget it, let’s go back.The maid whispered: Xu Huiyuan won’t come.
Did you not send the news?Wang Simu did not accept this reality and glared at the maid gently, trying to give up the blame for Xu Xinnian.
How dare I Ah, I must have been given it.The maid said aggrievedly.
Wang Simu sat there for a long time, unable to hide her loss in her bright eyes, and said softly: Forget it, go back.
Why.The maid responded lightly, took a small step to leave the cabin, and went to the stern to inform the boatman to return.
The boatmen pulled the anchor up from the water, rowed the oars together, and the embroidered boats slowly marched along the canal to return to the capital.
After returning to the Beijing Wharf, Wang Simu entered the carriage waiting on the roadside and ordered: Lan'er, you go to Xu's mansion immediately, and said I want to go to play with Miss Lingyue.
I'll wait here for half an hour before setting off.
Miss, why is this Ah.The maid frowned.
Even if he has no intention of me, I must know clearly.Miss Wang is very aggressive.
……
During the Spring Examination, Xu Xinnian of the Yuan Dynasty was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for suspected fraud and was imprisoned.
This major case that was destined to shake the entire capital was spread from the government office and the Ministry of Justice, and then through the six ministries, it quietly spread throughout the officialdom in the capital.
After a few days of fermentation and spreading, it will be known to everyone by then.
During lunch break, familiar officials and officials gathered in restaurants, teahouses and other places to discuss fraud cases of imperial examinations.
I knew that if the students of Yunlu Academy received the Huiyuan period, would the court officials agree?Isn't this coming?
You only know one thing but not the other. This matter is definitely not that simple. Then Xu Xinnian is Xu Qi'an's cousin, Xu Qi'an is the leader of poetry, and such masterpieces as "The Difficulty in Walking the Road"... I don't believe it if you say it's okay.
Nonsense, is there only one Xu Qi'an in this world who writes poems?We scholars cannot have a flash of inspiration, but we can get it by chance?
OK, it makes no sense to argue about this.Xu Huiyuan made a decision this time, regardless of whether there is fraud or not, his future will be ruined.I remember that in the twelfth year of Yuanjing, there was a fraud case, and three students were involved. The case was investigated for two years, but it was finally released, but its reputation was ruined and its academic performance was abandoned.
Similar cases occurred in the 20th year of Yuanjing, but that time the evidence was conclusive, and the students and examiners involved in the case were all beheaded by His Majesty.
If this case is confirmed, as a student of Xu Xinnian Yunlu Academy... Hiss, he thought about it and there was no possibility of turning around. Do you think Wei will take action?
It is very likely that Xu Qi'an is the confidant of Duke Wei, so he must ask Duke Wei to take action.
What if Mr. Wei stopped watching?
If Mr. Wei doesn’t take action, who else can save Xu Huiyuan? Will he expect that martial artist Xu Qi'an?He may be a good player to solve cases and kill enemies.How could a mere warrior understand the tricks in the officialdom?
Chu Yuanzhen, who was staying at his old friend's house, also learned about this from his friend who returned from the yamen during lunch.
No. 3 was caught in the imperial examination fraud case... Although No. 3 was extremely smart, the battle between Yunlu Academy and the Imperial College was an irreversible trend, and it was not smart enough to make up for it... The best outcome was to eliminate fame and reputation. No. 3 could not be an official, which was the loss of the court...
I heard that this matter was impeached by the new Right Censor, but I guess, all parties may be watching or secretly helping, and the New Year is in danger.said a friend.
Chu Yuanzhen sighed and said in a deep voice: I was tired of party struggles and left the temple.Since ancient times, party struggles have damaged national strength, while emperors have damaged their luck.
My friend's face changed drastically: Yuan Zhen, be careful of his words.
What are you afraid of? I have been a white-clothed person, free and easy.Chu Yuanzhen sneered and then sighed: I have been thinking for a long time but I can't break the deadlock.Unless Wei Yuan ends up fighting, with Xu Ningyan's potential, Wei Yuan should make a decision.
However, this may be exactly what those people want to see.Alas, I still can't break the deadlock.
……
Imperial Palace.
Dexinyuan, Huai Qing, wearing a plain palace skirt, sat behind the table and nodded to the guard in the room: I understand, you should step down.
After the chief guard left, Huaiqing stood up, walked to the window, frowned and pondered: If it were me, how could I break the deadlock?
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed.
Then, she suddenly thought again, what would he do if it were Xu Ningyan?
……
In an inner city restaurant, Sun Yaoyue booked a private room and invited classmates and friends from the Imperial College to drink. The main purpose was to share a major event that was about to shock the scholars in the capital.
During the Spring Examination, the New Year of Huiyuan was arrested by my father this morning. It is said that it was because of fraud in the imperial examination and bribing the examiner.
The news is true?The students of the Imperial College were shocked.
Of course it is true. I went to the yamen to confirm and asked my father. Although he was kicked out of the yamen, Mr. Zhu had already revealed it to me.Then Xu Xinnian is in prison, waiting for arraignment.Sun Yaoyue glanced at all the friends and said proudly.
Sun Yaoyue is the only legitimate son of Shangshu Sun. He has a good academic performance and is better than most playboys, but he has a problem and is particularly fond of gossip.
Sun Yaoyue was both jealous and angry about Xu Xinnian High School Huiyuan, a student of Yunlu Academy. Now he is in jail for fraud in the imperial examination, so he is so happy.
The silver roul was not a son of man. Relying on the protection of Wei Yingou, he showed off his power in the capital and wrote poems to insult my father. He should have been cut into pieces.
Sun Yaoyue slapped the table suddenly and laughed wildly: If you can't cut him, just cut his cousin.Hahaha, drink and drink.
When the students of Imperial College heard this news, they were surprised and relieved. That's right, the Huiyuan period in the spring exam allowed a student from Yunlu Academy to be able to do so. Where is the dignity of these scholars of Imperial College?
It is definitely fraud, it is definitely fraud, and no other reasons are accepted.
Brother Sun, it is better to have fun than to have fun alone. This is a great pleasure to make it widely circulated.
It makes sense, just do it like this, see you tonight.
After drinking and eating, Sun Yaoyue left the restaurant drunk and entered the carriage parked outside the restaurant. With the help of her entourage, she climbed onto the carriage.
He was about to take a nap for a moment, and saw a slender orange cat squatting on the soft-skinned side, with amber pupils looking at him faintly.
There was no movement, the carriage continued to move forward, the window suddenly opened, and the orange cat jumped out. Its tail was upright, and the kitten walked very fast and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
……
Ministry of Justice.
Shangshu Sun recruited an official and asked: Go to prison and ask, did Xu Xinnian confess?
The official took the order and retreated. After a few minutes, he returned to the office: Lord Shangshu, Xu Xinnian was very hard and refused to confess no matter how hard he beat him.
That was not enough to beat him. Shangshu Sun snorted coldly and said: The Ministry of Justice has a lot of torture. I will taste it one by one, and the stone will make it bloom. Well, just keep a breath.
yes.
The official retreated, and as soon as he left, he rushed in in panic, dressed as a rich man, with gray hair, and tripped a little when he passed the threshold.
What are you doing in the yamen? Shangshu Sun asked with a frown.
This person is the butler of the Sun Mansion, and he has been with Sun Shangshu for decades.
Master, something is not good... The old housekeeper cried and said tremblingly: Young Master, he is gone.
What does the young master disappear?
Sun Shangshu's face changed slightly, he got up and walked over, stared at the old housekeeper, and repeated in a deep voice: What does the young master disappear?!
The servant who followed the young master out and returned to the mansion to report not long ago. Today, the young master invited classmates in the restaurant. After drinking, he got into the carriage... and then disappeared. When the carriage returned to the mansion, he found that there was no one in the carriage at all.
The old butler scratched his ears and cheeks, anxiously and confused, and said carefully: The guest at the mansion said, "His, why did the master offend someone recently?"
There is a set of unspoken rules in the officialdom of Dafeng. Political struggle will never harm your family.It’s not how high the moral bottom line is, but that when you are in the first grade of junior high school, others can also do the fifteenth grade.
They will also be regarded as not understanding the rules and are rejected by the entire class.
This unspoken rule is very authoritative, and even the court agrees with it, and it is not explicitly stipulated because it cannot be put on the table.
But Dafeng has a system that once any official enters Beijing as an official, his parents, wife and children must enter the capital together.
What is the significance of this system?
A system paves the way for an unspoken rule, which shows how authoritative this unspoken rule is.
Who did you offend?...Sun Shangshu murmured to himself, and this bitch Xu Qi'an naturally appeared in his mind.
madness!
Shangshu Sun shouted loudly, his beard was full of stern hair, and he was furious and roared: I think I can make my official surrender if I kidnapped my son?The yellow-haired child destroys the Great Wall.
If my son makes any mistakes, there will be no place for you to stand in the entire capital.No, your whole family will die.
After roaring, he swept all the notes on the table to the ground, and the tea cup was smashed to pieces, and the pen, ink, paper and ink were scattered all over the floor.
The old housekeeper was silent and did not dare to show off. The master had been an official for many years and had already developed a scheming state of being unlucky with fame and disgrace.
This angry look happened twice. The previous time was the extremely humiliating poem, and the two times it was because of this yellow-haired child named Xu Qi'an.
Shangshu Sun suddenly lifted the hem of his official robe and ran out of the house with agile and fitness that was not in line with his age.
Master, what instructions do you have to let the old slave do it...
The old butler chased after him and said loudly.
Shangshu Sun ignored it and roared: If you come, go to the prison quickly. No punishment shall be carried out, no punishment shall be carried out...
The sky of the Ministry of Justice's yamen echoes the "Sun Shangshu's Inability to Move (Breaking the Pronunciation).
……
A quarter of an hour later, at this time, Sun Shangshu, who had been calm, returned to the hall panting, took the hot tea offered by the old housekeeper, and took a big sip.
The yellow-haired child dares to threaten his official position, ignorant and stupid!
After scolding, Shangshu Sun changed his mind and ordered the butler: You should go to the Kengren Yamen immediately and let the dog thief who killed that day come to see me.
Although the other party broke the rules, Shangshu Sun is not tough now. Of course, it is best to be able to negotiate. He will first save his son and then settle the score with the dog thief named Xu.
The butler nodded and turned around and was about to leave when he saw a guard crossing the threshold and clasped his fists and said: Lord Shangshu, then Xu Qi'an is here again.
It's just here!
Sun Shangshu's eyes shot out from his eyes, and he instantly straightened his back: Let him come in.
Suddenly, the guard brought Xu Qi'an in a silver gong-distance uniform. The dog thief named Xu looked smiling and walked leisurely in the garden, unlike when he was asking for a meeting in the morning, he had a calm face and suppressed his anger.
And the expression of Sun Shangshu at this moment was exactly like Xu Qi'an at that time.
Where is my son and grandson Yaoyue? Xu Qi'an, let him go home quickly. I can think that this has never happened.Sun Shangshu did not look at his eyes, as if Xu Qi'an was not in his eyes.
What's the meaning?This official doesn't understand Ah.
Xu Qi'an looked innocent. After thinking about it, his face suddenly changed: So Ah, Shangshu Sun not only wrongly accused my cousin of the imperial examination fraud, but even I wanted to frame him. There are such despicable and shameless people in the world.
you……
Shangshu Sun finally moved his eyes and stared at Xu Qi'an. He did not speak, but retreated from the officials in the hall.Then, word by word:
I am aware that you are young and do not understand the rules, so I am willing to give you a chance.If you still want to stay in the officialdom of the capital, just let the people go.
Xu Qi'an shook his head and said: Shangshu Sun must have made a mistake. I don't know what you are talking about.
After a pause, he suddenly realized and said with concern: Listen to what Shangshu Sun said, is there something wrong with the noble prince?Kidnapped by thieves?You tell me Ah, I am the most anxious and righteous person, and no one can match the case.As long as Shangshu Sun speaks, I promise that he will be retrieved for you within one day.
Pretending to be stupid with me...Shangshu Sun was angry and said viciously: Xu Qi'an, don't forget that you also have family members.
Xu Qi'an sighed and looked sad: Lord Shangshu, you don't know me.My parents died since childhood, and my second uncle raised me.
However, my aunt bullied me and humiliated me in every way. When she was fifteen, she drove me out of the house and let me live in a doghouse.Unfortunately, I don’t have a father who has a hundred thousand troops surrounded me and can be crooked...
Xu Qi'an!Shangshu Sun interrupted with anger, stared at him for a long time, and whispered:
What exactly do you want?The imperial examination fraud case is investigated by Your Majesty. The Ministry of Justice and the government office are in charge of trial. The civil and military officials in the court are staring at me, but I have the final say.If you want to use my son as a threat, I can only fight to the death with you.Stop being naive!
Nowadays, whoever is more arrogant can take advantage of him... The importance of my cousin is naturally not as important as that of my son. I can be cruel, but he can't... Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes, walked to Sun Shangshu, and whispered:
I only have one requirement: Xu Xinnian is not allowed to be punished during his imprisonment, and he will not be punished.He lost one finger, and I broke one of your fingers. I would leave as many wounds as he had on his body.
After the fraud case of the imperial examination, no matter whether Xu Xinnian can get rid of the crime or not, I will let your son go as he said.
Xu Qi'an...
Shangshu Sun was about to scold him, but Xu Qi'an suddenly turned black, his face turned ferocious, and he said sternly: Call me Lord Viscount.
...Sun Shangshu surrendered and said in a deep voice: Lord Viscount, why should I believe you?
Xu Qi'an walked slowly to the table, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it lightly:
Does Shangshu Sun choose any of them?If you believe it or not, you must do it according to my wishes.Unless you don't want a legitimate son.I didn't ask you to help Xu Xinnian get rid of his sins, but just asked you not to do extra things.This is not difficult.
He walked up to Sun Shangshu, wiped the robe, and said in a deep voice: As you said, I also have family.
This step was taught by Wei Yuan, but the methods and plans were what he thought of, and Wei Yuan had no idea.
Doing nothing and hoping that your opponent will be kind is just a dream. The joke and cold reception you encountered in the Ministry of Justice this morning are just a good proof.
If you want to knock down the enemy, you must seize the opponent's weakness.
Most of the weaknesses are the closest relatives.However, it is a taboo to harm your family, and Xu Qi'an has to consider and control the standards himself.
Therefore, he did not think that just one Sun Yaoyue could save Erlang from being free.Only Sun Yaoyue and Shangshu Sun made a deal, which greatly reduced the difficulty and lighter nature.
As for Shangshu Sun's disagreement and insisted on torture Xu Erlang, Xu Qi'an also did what he said.Even Sun Shangshu was asked to give the black-haired man a white-haired man a black-haired man a white-haired man.
So far, everything is within his expectations, thanks to the good grasp of the scale.
Shangshu Sun breathed: I believe you once, I will not torture Xu Erlang, and I hope that when my son returns home, he will be safe and sound, otherwise he will bear the consequences.
This is nature.Xu Qi'an snorted.
But I'm not at ease with you, I'm going to meet Xu Xinnian.Please let me arrange it.
As he said that, he walked to the door with his relatives unrecognizable steps, suddenly turned around and smiled: By the way, Lord Viscount... He called him well.
Sun Shangshu's face was gloomy and his beard was trembling with anger.
……
Crazy...
In the sound of the chain sliding, the prison guard opened the door to the prison, and a damp and decayed breath came to his face.
Under the leadership of the prison guard, Xu Qi'an walked through the dim passage and came to the cell where Xu Xinnian was imprisoned.
Xu Xinnian closed his eyes and rested against the wall. He was wearing a prison uniform, with a pale face and blood on his body.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the little brother, Xu Qi'an's face suddenly became dark. After all, he was one step late. Erlang suffered a little in prison.
He underestimated Sun Shangshu's determination to take revenge.
Xu Qi'an whispered: Erlang, Erlang...
Xu Erlang was stunned for a moment, suspected that he had heard it wrong, and opened his eyes in shock.
