Chapter 28: Slap me, a mole cricket (2nd shift)
"Wait!" Duke Zhou drank down the jailer and glared angrily at the green-robed official:
"This person committed murder in the street, wanting to put me to death, I am the sufferer."
He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "This lord, don't mind your own business."
The other party was a positive fifth rank, incomparable to his father, like clouds and mud. But in the end, he was an official of the Ministry of Justice, and had nothing to do with the Ministry of Households.
Zhou Gongzi is also not good to put words too dead, only hope that the other party can intend to realize that no matter how to offend a minister's son, is extremely unwise.
The officialdom most avoided setting up unnecessary enemies.
Unexpectedly, this green-robed official was not at all intimidated, instead he snorted, "Duke Zhou, go out and talk to Lord Shangshu about this."
Duke Zhou frowned and met the old man's eyes as Uncle Chen whispered, "Shangshu Sun has always had a friendship with your lordship ...."
The second half of the sentence meant that if there was no unexpected matter, he would not ask about it.
On the contrary, there is a problem.
Unwilling to let the cooked duck fly away like this, Zhou Gongzi followed closely behind, as long as the problem was not too big, he would immediately bring Xu Qi'an back, directly torture him, and get this kid killed.
Walking out of the Ministry of Punishment's prison, the bright sunlight shone, Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes to ease the discomfort of his pupils.
He followed the green-robed official to the compound of the Ministry of Justice's court, which was surrounded by quite a number of people, including Ministry of Justice officials in various colors of official robes; a dozen or so young men in white; two carriages as well as dead horses; and two old men in Confucian shirts with clear bones.
Duke Zhou, who also saw the crowd, was a little bewildered, not knowing what was happening.
Duke Zhou heard the sound of shackles clattering to a halt, and that damned Xu Qi'an paused in his steps, turned back, and said in a single word:
"You should be glad that you didn't torture me, reintroduce yourself, I'm Supervisor Zheng's newly accepted disciple."
The old man's face changed drastically.
Duke Zhou's expression instantly spiraled out of control.
This couldn't be possible, he couldn't possibly be a disciple of the Supervisor Zheng.
However, seeing the courtyard full of white clothes of the Supervisor Zheng, Duke Zhou and the old man remained silent.
Xu Qi'an ignored the two men and went straight up, sweeping the white clothes and unexpectedly not seeing Miss Caiwei.
That googly-eyed pair of A little beauty was not there?
Sheriff Wang delivered the secret alchemy book, but Miss Caiwei was not ..... there But the Alchemists of the Si Tian Supervisor saw the contents of the book and rushed to my rescue?
Or perhaps Miss Caiwei had something she couldn't get away from and asked her fellow disciples to come and save me!
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath as the shackles clattered, "Xu Qi'an has met several senior brothers."
Senior brothers? Song Qing froze, scrutinizing Xu Qi'an, "Did you write the book?"
His eyes were somewhat unkind .... Xu Qi'an nodded, "This isn't the place to talk about things, when we leave the Ministry of Punishment, if senior brother wants to ask anything, Ning Yan will know everything."
Seeing Xu Qi'an talking with the white clothes of the Divisional Superintendent, Zhou Gongzi's expression was a bit dumbfounded, he stiffly averted his gaze, unwilling to believe that this was true from the bottom of his heart, and briskly walked over to the side of the Sun Shangshu, and said in a low voice:
"Sir Sun, the people of the Si Tian Supervisor ...."
Shangshu Sun glanced at him, "Looking for me for someone."
Mr. Zhou's body shook.
The thin old man breathed in sharply.
Was he really a Supervisor Zheng disciple? This couldn't be possible, and if he was a Supervisor Zheng disciple, there was no way that the tax and silver case matter could have plagued the Xu family at all.
The tax and silver case!
The thin old man thought of a possibility, what if he had been accepted as a disciple by the Supervisor Zheng after the Tax Silver Case.
He had indeed unlocked the secrets of the tax silver and refined fake silver, such a genius who had mastered the art of alchemy without a teacher, the possibility of the Supervisory Zheng seeing talent and making an exception to take in a disciple was not unheard of, or even very high.
Moreover, not Supervisor Zheng disciple, why let this group of white clothes assembled here.
At this time, the thin old man noticed the two great scholars who were silent, as well as the horses that were strangely dead.
He gazed at them for a moment, and suddenly his body shook as he recognized the two great Confucian scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy.
The thin old man's throat rolled a bit, "Lord Shangshu, those two great Confucian .... s are here."
"Also came to ask for someone." Shangshu Sun said with an expressionless face.
Mr. Zhou's face stiffened, twisted his head a little, and looked at the old man.
.......
"You are Xu Qi'an?"
Xu Qi'an turned his head to look, and the one who spoke was an old man wearing a gray robe with a goatee beard. He thought to himself, "Which one are you, old man?
"I'm the division head of Resignation." Another blue-robed old man said, his smile gentle as he surveyed Xu Qi'an, "Mo worry about the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you. But did you write it?"
"A humble piece of writing by my junior, I've made senior laugh." Xu Qi'an said, "The character Ning Banquet."
Introducing one's "word" to strangers was the most basic etiquette, as calling them by their first names was taboo. If you don't introduce your "word", the subliminal meaning is that you don't want to make friends with people.
The smile on the blue-robed old man's face grew deeper.
"With this matter settled, let's leave the Ministry of Punishment first." Over there, Song Qing couldn't help but urge.
Immediately, a jailer stepped forward and unlocked Xu Qi'an's ankle cuffs and shackles.
"Good!" Xu Qi'an nodded.
A smile appeared on the faces of the people from the Heavenly Monarch, their purpose was achieved, the person was coming back, and they were incredibly looking forward to the talks that were to follow.
The two great Confucian scholars, Li Mubai and Zhang Shen, were also unwilling to continue to stay for long, as they would be greeted by a fierce battle.
"Hoo!"
Seeing Xu Qi'an follow the crowd and leave, Zhou Gongzi was relieved as if he was relieved, his heart generating scorn and fear that he was unwilling to admit.
"Wait!" Xu Qi'an suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The Diviner and the two great Confucian scholars looked at him.
"I still have something to take care of." Xu Qi'an arched his hand and turned towards Duke Zhou, snatching the plank-like shackles with a split hand as he passed by the jailer.
"You, what do you want?" Duke Zhou backed away in shock.
"Xu Qi'an, my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Household, how dare you touch me? You dare to make a move in the Ministry of Justice? Lord Sun, Minister Sun, quickly take down this thief .... Uncle Chen, save me ...."
Bang!
Xu Qi'an swung his yoke and ferociously smashed it on Zhou Li's head, broken wood flying across the room.
Duke Zhou's eyes rolled white as he fell straight backward, crimson blood flowing out of his hair.
Xu Qi'an looked at the skinny old man expressionlessly, "Slap me to death."
The entire room fell silent!
"In front of my senior brothers and the lords of the Ministry of Punishment, in front of the two great Confucian scholars, slap me to death as a mole, hurry up."
The anger that surged on his face receded like a tidal wave, and the thin old man froze there, not daring to move a muscle.
......
The ghost gate has gone through ah .... It is true that only the second generation of officials can deal with the second generation of officials, the fairness and justice of the law is limited to the small people ..... Xu Qi'an bathed in the early winter sunshine, feeling that he had gained a new life.
Just after leaving the Ministry of Justice's office, Xu Qi'an saw two fast horses galloping towards the end of the long street, it was Xu Erlang and Xu Ershu.
Father and son similarly saw Xu Qi'an who was surrounded by the white clothes of the Si Tian Supervisor, and Xu Ershi's tightly tensed face visibly loosened up.
How could the people from the Divine Constabulary be here .... Doubt flashed across Uncle Xu's eyes. He himself was an expert at the peak of the Qi Practicing Realm and had participated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and would not hold the warlocks of the Sitian Supervisors in the same regard as ordinary people.
Xu New Year reined in his horse, scrutinized his cousin without missing a trace, slightly relieved, and bowed deeply, "Many thanks to teacher, many thanks to Mr. Mubai."
Xu Qi'an could only arch his hand towards the crowd of the Si Tian Supervisor first, then together with his cousin, he once again bowed to the two great scholars.
Li Mubai lamented, "Such poetic talent, how come he became a government servant, Ning Yan ah, is there any interest in coming to Yunlu Academy and practicing Confucianism."
Recognizing less than two quarters of an hour, Ning Banquet all called on .... Zhang Shen added: "It just so happens that you can worship under the old man."
Xu Qi'an: "???"
