155 The female state preceptor (1)
Xu lingying was a gifted child. This morning, her brain was still sleeping, but her body woke up on its own, waking up the maidservant who was taking care of her.
Then, with her eyes closed, she dressed, washed her face, and brushed her teeth with the help of the maidservant. Then, she was led to the front hall.
Smelling the fragrance of the porridge and meat buns, Xu lingying opened her eyes at once. She was happy to find that she had fallen asleep on the dining table.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and only second uncle Xu was sitting at the table eating breakfast.
His aunt and Xu lingyue were both sealed by the quilt.
“Where’s big brother?” Xu lingying looked left and right. At this time, her gluttonous big brother should have been sitting at the table, coveting her meat bag.
“Don’t bother about him.” Second uncle Xu said.
“Big brother’s meat bag is mine.” Xu lingying’s small face bloomed with an innocent smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she sniffed. it smells so good.
“If it’s fragrant, then eat quickly.” Second uncle Xu urged.
“It’s not the incense here ...” Xu Lingyin looked up and said to her father seriously.
Second uncle Xu didn’t understand, but very quickly, he saw the Oval-faced girl in a yellow dress enter. Her almond-shaped eyes scanned the hall.”Where’s Xu ningyan?”
“He’s probably sleeping,” Second uncle Xu wondered why this girl had come uninvited.
no, ” Yan Caiwei shook her head, “”I came from his courtyard.”
After she finished speaking, she saw the chubby little girl deeply attracted by the breakfast in her arms.
Today, Yan Caiwei bought roasted donkey meat, deep-fried fish balls, crystal cakes, and pig trotters in soy sauce. She packed them up and ate as she hurried on her way.
She was looking for Xu Qi ‘an urgently.
“Do you want to eat it?” Looking at that pair of watery, innocent eyes, Yan Caiwei’s heart softened again.
Xu Ling nodded hard.
“Then I’ll give you some.” Yan Caiwei said.
“Cough, cough ...” Second uncle Xu glared at the gluttonous young girl and said with a heavy heart, ” lingying, sister is a guest. You can eat after she’s done.
“Alright,” he said. As long as there was food, Xu lingying was very easy to negotiate with.
“You’re so sensible.” Yan Caiwei touched her head and thought about last night’s incident while eating.
After a few minutes ... She was surprised to find that the three to four catties of breakfast she had brought with her had disappeared.
Did the little girl eat it when I wasn’t paying attention? She looked suspiciously at Xu lingying, whose head was not even as tall as the table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXu Ling’s eyes were filled with tears.”Sister, are you making fun of me?”
“....”
Second uncle Xu felt like he was looking at the grown-up Xu lingying.
.....
In the noble Qi building, Wei Yuan nodded after listening to Jiang Luzhong’s report. “Got it. Have you made any progress on the yazi organization that I asked you to capture?”
“They have been investigating in secret and did not alert any Yamen or forces. After the death of the count of Ping Yuan, they began to lay low. However, because they were not suppressed, they are not in the capital for the time being. They can be caught at any time.” Jiang Luzhong said.
“It seems that the son of the count of Ping Yuan inherited the yazi organization.” Wei Yuan chuckled, as if he had everything under control.
“Take advantage of the fact that they still don’t know that the son of the count of Ping Yuan was killed, and close the net.”
Jiang Luzhong cupped his fists and accepted the order, but he hesitated.
“If you have something to say, then say it.”
“When the son of the Earl of Ping Yuan was killed, Xu Qi ‘an was also present. Although I don’t know why he sneaked into the residence of the Earl of Ping Yuan, he should have seen the murderer.” Jiang Luzhong spoke of his speculation.
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs. An official in black came up and whispered a few words to his colleague who was guarding the stairs.
The clerk guarding the stairs immediately entered the teahouse and bowed, “”Duke of Wei, Xu Qi ‘an requests an audience,”
Wei Yuan smiled. good timing. Send him up.
The clerk went downstairs. Soon, Xu Qi ‘an, who was dressed in the uniform of a night watchman, went up to the seventh floor. He looked at Jiang Luzhong and cupped his fists.”Greetings, Duke Wei.”
“Jiang Jinluo said that you went to the residence of count Ping Yuan last night?” Wei Yuan’s voice was gentle and he was smiling.
“I’m here to investigate a case, the Sang Bo case.” Xu Qi ‘an answered frankly.
Jiang Luzhong was stunned and frowned. He suspected that Xu Qi ‘an was lying. Uncle Ping Yuan had died long before the Sang Bo case. Other than the yazi organization, there were no clues to prove that uncle Ping Yuan was involved in the Sang Bo case.
“What did you find?” Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer. His gaze paused on Jiang Luzhong for a moment.
“Jiang Jinluo, you may leave.” Wei Yuan was used to this little Gong rejecting everyone’s requests.
Jiang Luzhong took a deep look at Xu Qi ‘an and left gloomily.
When the sound of the footsteps could no longer be heard, Xu Qi ‘an waited for a long time, taking into account the hearing of a high-ranked martial artist, before saying, ”
“Lord Wei, I did see the attacker last night and confirmed his identity.”
Wei Yuan took a sip of his tea and asked emotionlessly, “”Who is it?”
monk Heng Hui of the Azure Dragon Temple, the monk who stole the celestial device of the Azure Dragon Temple and ran away with Princess Ping Yang. Xu Qi ‘an didn’t hide anything and continued, ”
I suspect he has sang Bo’s sealed artifact on him.
“Why do you say so?” Wei Yuan looked at him.
...
“The death of the count of Ping Yuan’s son was the same as the death of the Imperial Army soldiers,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“You’ve done well,” Wei Yuan laughed,”this is a very useful lead.”
“Then I will take my leave.” Xu Qi ‘an knew that father Wei wanted to’ support ‘her, so she didn’t force him to help.
Some bosses were like this. When they saw a beautiful girl in the company, they wanted to secretly keep her and stop her from coming to work in the future.
A personal female secretary like that was actually not safe, because there was too much gossip.
Xu Qi ‘an was against this kind of behavior. I just want to work in peace at the Yamen.
When he went downstairs, Xu Qi ‘an saw an official running up the stairs in a hurry.
When he left the noble Qi building, he saw Jiang Lu waiting downstairs. Old Jiang came up to him and frowned. “What’s going on?”
Xu Qi ‘an’s heart moved. He cupped his fists and said,”Jiang Jinluo is the one handling the case of uncle Ping Yuan?”
father? ” Jiang Luzhong was a little depressed. I’ll handle the father and son.
“To be honest, uncle Ping Yuan is involved in the Sang Bo case ...” Xu Qi ‘an immediately told Jiang Luzhong about monk Heng Hui, and Jin Gong’s eyes lit up.
...
“Jiang Jinluo, we should work together to deal with this matter. This way, not only will you solve uncle Ping Yuan’s case, but you will also be involved in the Sang Bo case ...” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely, ”
I’m almost done with this case. We can earn credit together.
yes. Jiang Luzhong nodded slightly. you’re right.
Xu Qi ‘an smiled from the bottom of his heart. A high-ranked martial artist had managed to trick him into joining the camp. If Wei Yuan didn’t want to help him, he would have to find his own.
As the two of them spoke, they saw Wei Yuan, who was dressed in green, walk down the stairs. Seeing the two of them still standing at the door, he said, “”Lu Zhong, come with me to the palace.”
“Yes!”
Xu Qi ‘an touched his chin as he watched the two of them leave. Emperor Yuan jing must have been furious about the murder of the first wife’s son of uncle Ping Yuan.
.....
Xu Qi ‘an left the Yamen and rode towards the Imperial City. He did not go fast because he needed time to organize his thoughts.
“Maybe my assumption is wrong. The mastermind behind the scenes is not North vanquishing Prince at all. The North-guarding King tried to rebel, so he worked with the demon clan in the North and the witchcraft cult in the northeast to blow up the seal in sang Bo and released the first supervisor in an attempt to cause chaos in the capital ...
“But now, I’m already beginning to doubt whether the one sealed is the first supervisor. In addition, if the North-guarding Prince was the mastermind behind the scenes, it would not make sense to link it to monk Heng Hui.
monk Heng Hui is involved in the dispute of interests between the civil servants and the noble Group ... It seemed a little farfetched to put the blame on the North-guarding King ...
“The plan now is to find Heng Hui and capture him. All the mysteries will be solved. In order to capture Heng Hui, number six was the key. Number six is Heng Hui’s senior brother, so the latter shouldn’t kill him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe outline of the Imperial City appeared in his line of sight. Xu Qi ‘an’s ears twitched, and someone called his name from behind.
“Xu ningyan ...”
Looking back, it was an oval-faced beauty in a light yellow long dress. Her eyes were particularly big and bright, giving people a direct impression of a lively and lovely person.
“I went to the Xu estate to look for you this morning, but you weren’t there. I just went to the watchman’s Yamen, but you were still not there. Song tingfeng said that you might have gone to the Imperial Academy to fool around with Fu Xiang.” Yan Caiwei slapped her horse and caught up with him. She stood shoulder to shoulder with him and complained.
“He’s slandering my character.” Xu Qi ‘an said sternly,”I’ve never been to a place like the education workshop ...” Na na, don’t use the aura-gazing technique. Although I’m a gentleman, I don’t want to be stared at by others using the aura-gazing technique.”
“They said that Fu Xiang is your lover.” Yan Caiwei tilted her head and said.
“No.”
“You really didn’t?”
“En, Fu Xiang is a friend I just made, not a lover.” Xu Qi ‘an answered sincerely, without lying.
Yan Caiwei replied with an “Oh” and returned to the main topic, the Imperial astronomer has observed devil Qi. It’s exactly the same as the day the Sang Bo case was blown up. I’m here to inform you.
I already know about this. I almost died in his hands. Xu Qi ‘an didn’t want to say more about the Golden Lotus Taoist, so he changed the topic. “Do you still have that great strength pill?”
“Another day, I don’t have it with me.”
“I don’t want another day, I want today.”
“Alright, I’ll go to your residence at dusk.”
Yan Caiwei was here to look for the eldest Princess. Although she was assigned to help Xu Qi ‘an solve the case, Xu Qi’ an did not want to use her.
It wasn’t that Yan Caiwei was useless, but that Heng Hui had a Qi-concealing magic artifact on him, so the Directorate of Celestials ‘Qi-gazing technique was completely restrained.
He simply didn’t tie her to his side and let her go to the eldest princess’s Palace and restaurants to have fun.
The two parted at the gate of the Imperial City. Xu Qi ‘an, who had a gold medal, was unimpeded in the Imperial City and soon arrived at the legendary Lingbao temple.
This was a very imposing Daoist temple, with red walls and black tiles, and a high and wide gate.
There were two little Daoists standing at the door, examining Xu Qi ‘an, who was approaching on a horse.
I’m xu Qi ‘an. I’m the night watchman of the Yamen. I’m here on His Majesty’s orders to investigate the Sang Bo case. I’d like to see the state preceptor. Please pass the message. Xu Qi ‘an took the initiative to speak and showed his gold medal.
The two Dao children revealed a solemn expression and bowed, “”My Lord, please wait a moment.”
The Daoist boy on the left quickly entered the temple. Xu Qi ‘an waited for more than ten minutes before the Daoist boy returned. He shook his head and said, ”
“Dao chief is cultivating and won’t see outsiders. Your Excellency, please go back.”
He disappeared ... It seemed like the emperor’s golden token was indeed useless. He could only reveal the existence of The Earth Book ... Xu Qi ‘an continued,”two Daoist Masters, please help me pass on a message ...”
The Dao child on the right meticulously interrupted, “”If you don’t want to see me, then you don’t want to see me. Even if you say it until your mouth breaks, the Dao chief won’t see you.”
Xu Qi ‘an let out a silent breath and got off the horse. After looking around for a moment, he took out two gold ingots that he had prepared.
At this moment, silence was better than words.
The Dao child entered again.
“Hey, come back. We haven’t even said anything ...” Xu Qi ‘an called him back and whispered in his ear.
After the Taoist child entered, he returned after more than ten minutes with a warm smile. “Your Excellency, the head of the Dao has invited you.”
