Dafeng's Night Squad

49 Social death (1)

Second uncle Xu’s information was as follows:

“Zhou Li has been very well-behaved these few days. He was probably warned by Assistant Minister Zhou and did not do anything against the law. He indulges himself with a group of people in the government office and goes in and out of gambling houses, restaurants, and the Academy.

“In addition, when my people followed him, they found that Zhou Li frequently went in and out of a house. There was no sign on the house, so it should be a private house he bought outside. There was a servant girl, an old woman, and an old man who watched the door. There was also a woman.

“That woman is most likely his mistress ...”

Xu niannian and Xu Qi ‘an listened in silence, each in a different state of contemplation. Xu Qi’ an looked down at the ground, his fingertips subconsciously tapping on the table.

Xu Xin was looking up at the roof at a 45-degree angle. Wushuang was in his sleeves and he looked like he was in a daze.

After second uncle Xu finished speaking, he looked at his nephew and son and said, “”What do you guys think?”

His nephew and son ignored him tacitly. They looked at each other and Xu niannian said, “”The students of our Academy and the students of the Imperial College are not on the same side. They look down on each other and view each other as enemies.

However, the same batch of high scholars would occasionally gather together. The orthodoxies are opposing, but individuals can have friendships.”

A high scholar from the same batch could be considered half a schoolmate. If they had a good relationship, they might be useful in the future. As for the battle for orthodoxy, it was secondary compared to personal interests.

“Zhou Li is an arrogant and despotic person. He has many disputes with many of his schoolmates in the Imperial College and had conflicts with them. But he’s definitely not a brainless popinjay. Those who have a grudge against him all have ordinary backgrounds.”

Xu Qi ‘an was not surprised by this. From the way Zhou Li dealt with him, he could analyze that the methods of this Yamen were not brilliant, but they were effective and had a certain level of scheming and shrewdness.

His arrogance was only directed at those who had lower backgrounds and forces than him.

“This has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of dealing with him.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

“Don’t interrupt. Let me finish.” Xu niannian glared at him.

“Zhou Li has been infatuated with miss Fu Xiang of the education workshop Division for a long time. However, he was repeatedly unsuccessful in the ‘tea gathering’. ”

Lady floating fragrance? That courtesan of the Academy’s workshop? The beauty that Constable Wang said was worth his life after sleeping with her for a night? Xu Qi ‘an’s spirit was lifted.

Xu niannian raised his teacup and looked at the empty cup. He put it down helplessly and said, ”

“I originally thought that we could drive the Tiger to devour the wolf again. He had made use of the conflict between Zhou Li and his classmates to formulate a plan, but those classmates were not important enough. With Zhou Li’s caution, it was too difficult and almost impossible for him to provoke a higher-ranking government.

Zhou Li has been to the Imperial Academy’s workshop many times. If you want to get more information, that lady floating fragrance is an excellent breakthrough.

knock, knock ... Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the table.

When second uncle and second brother Xu looked over, he said in a deep voice, “”I have to remind you that we have to do subtraction at all times. The more complicated a plan is, the more loopholes it will have.

“It is impossible for us to have a complicated and intricate plan to deal with Zhou Li, because the gap between us is too great. Farewell, don’t fall into the wrong line of thought.”

It was easy for a scholar to be fooled by his own cleverness. When he was scheming against others, he would make it more difficult for himself to think about the exquisiteness of the layout and the superb means.

This was especially true for the arrogant and well-read Xu cijiu.

Xu cijiu furrowed his brows, agreeing but also unconvinced, “”What’s your opinion, big brother?”

“Simple, the simpler the better.” the real traceless crime is killing with passion, ” Xu Qi ‘an said after some thought. we have to do the same when we plan.

“How is it simple? First, don’t involve too many people. Second, don’t make things too complicated. If Zhou Li were to have a conflict with someone in the Yamen, and that person’s father happens to be able to arm wrestle with Assistant Minister Zhou, what would you do?”

Xu niannian fell into deep thought.

“Alright, your silence explains everything.” Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and interrupted the little brother’s thoughts. There must be a lot of schemes and conspiracies flashing through the little brother’s mind.

“My idea is that we can disguise ourselves and seize the opportunity to beat up the people in the government office and leave.”

Xu Pingzhi finally seized the opportunity to interject and slapped his thigh. “Ningyan’s idea is very much to my liking.”

The two brothers rolled their eyes at the same time.

“It’s that simple?” Xu cijiu frowned.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. simple doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. Most of the time, it’s better to leave a blank. The one who was beaten up would wonder who he had offended recently. After some reflection, he realized that it was Zhou Li, that bastard.

Zhou Li will definitely not admit to such a thing. However, this is not important. Everyone is free to judge. Anyway, the conflict has intensified. You hit me, so I will also take revenge.

Xu cijiu was a smart and quick-witted man. He immediately understood what his big brother meant.

“Not bad,” he nodded slightly with a proud expression.

“Big brother, what information have you gathered?”

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t keep him in suspense and said, “”I’ve found out who Assistant Minister Zhou’s political enemy is,”

Xu niannian and second uncle Xu bent over at the same time. Their faces suddenly became serious, and they looked like they were listening.

“Minister of Revenue,” Xu Qi ‘an sneered.

The Minister of Revenue? Xu xinnian’s heart trembled, and many of his doubts were instantly resolved.

No wonder Assistant Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Revenue wanted to scheme for the tax silver. He knew that he was about to be made fun of by his immediate superior and urgently needed a large amount of silver to make up for the deficit.

And it was because they were both in the Ministry of Revenue that the Minister of Revenue could catch Assistant Minister Zhou’s Fox tail.

“Ningyan, how did you know about this?” Second uncle Xu didn’t believe it.

How could ordinary people know about the fights between the big shots in the Imperial court?

“Miss Cai Wei from the Directorate of Celestials told me.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

And the price was just a stick of candied gourd, a roasted goose leg, a serving of wine meatball, and a bowl of fish ball soup ... He silently added in his heart.

Big-eyed beauties were easy to buy. This was an advantage. The weakness was that she had no interest in politics, and the Directorate of Celestials did not interfere in it, so what she knew was limited.

This isn’t good, miss Caiwei, you lack a book titled “Xu dalang’s virtuous wife’s self-cultivation,” I’ll write it for you later.

Xu Qi ‘an clapped his hands and interrupted his cousin’s deep thoughts.

it seems that the information we have collected is not enough to make a detailed plan. But it’s fine. We can’t make a big deal out of this. What should we do next? ”

...

Xu niannian thought for a moment and said,’I suggest going to the education workshop Division and getting some information from the courtesan Fu Xiang ...’ I definitely can’t do that. I never go to places with fireworks.”

It was common for great officials to flirt with women, but for students without an official position, it was another set of standards.

You haven’t even reached the end of your path in the imperial examination, and you’re already thinking of playing with women? One look and you can tell he’s unreliable. Don’t even think about having a good future.

It’s like when I was studying, parents don’t allow students to play online games. If a student spends all day in an internet cafe, he’s a quasi-social scum ... Xu Qi ‘an leaned back in his chair and looked to the side. He said in a relaxed tone, ”

“I can’t go either, because I haven’t reached the Qi refining stage.”

Then the question was, who was in charge of getting information from the Imperial Academy?

The two brothers looked at second uncle Xu in tacit understanding.

“Why are you looking at me? do you think I’m someone who would go to the Imperial Academy? I don’t even know how to read, why would I go and invite a snub?” Second uncle Xu expressed that he wasn’t the kind of person who would miss the fireworks.

Seeing that his father was unwilling, Xu niannian threw the blame on Xu Qi ‘an. “It was written in a poem by big brother. It’s very popular in the Imperial Academy.”

Second uncle Xu immediately rejected his son’s suggestion and said with a frown, ” your big brother is an honest man who doesn’t even go to the brothel. Let him go to the Imperial Academy to inquire. Don’t let him get trapped in there before he gets it done and his body is taken by the woman in the brothel.

For a martial artist at the peak of the essence refining realm, it was indeed a huge loss to lose his body before entering the Qi refining realm.

...

Xu Qi ‘an, who never went to the brothel to listen to music, nodded to show that he was not that kind of person.

“Why don’t you go?” second uncle Xu said. He still felt that a place like the Academy Square should only be visited by scholars.

This was a fixed concept.

Xu cijiu chuckled.

Second uncle Xu had refused to go to the education workshop. Other than the fact that it was the territory of scholars and they didn’t like rough iron, there was another reason.

There was another reason why Xu cijiu had refused to go to the education workshop, other than the fact that students had to pay attention to their reputation and reputation.

There was another reason why Xu Qi ‘an refused to go to the teaching workshop, other than the fact that he never went to the brothel to listen to music.

Social death!

The three of them looked at each other and fell into silence.
