"Wait!" Zhou Gongzi stopped the jailer and glared at the Qingpao official:
"This person committed murder in the street and wanted to kill me. I am the master of suffering."
He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Sir, don't mind your own business."
The other party is a genuine fifth-grade, and cannot be compared with his father, just like cloud mud. But they are officials of the Ministry of Punishment and have nothing to do with the Ministry of Households.
It's not easy for Zhou Gongzi to say things too deadly. I just hope that the other party can realize that it is extremely unwise to offend a servant's son no matter what.
Officials should never establish unnecessary enemies.
Unexpectedly, the Qingpao official was not at all frightened, but sneered: "Young Master Zhou, go out and tell Lord Shangshu."
Zhou Gongzi frowned and met the old man's eyes. Uncle Chen said in a low voice, "Sun Shangshu and the old master are always friendly..."
The second half of the sentence means that if there is no accident, he will not intervene.
On the contrary, there is a problem.
Zhou Gongzi, who was unwilling to cook the duck and flew away like this, followed closely. As long as the problem was not serious, he immediately arrested Xu Qi'an and directly tortured the boy to death.
After walking out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes in the bright sunlight to ease the discomfort of his pupils.
He followed the green-robed official to the courtyard of the Xingbu Yamen. There were many people in the courtyard, including the Xingbu officials in various official robes; a dozen young men in white; two carriages and the dead Horses; there are two old men in Confucian shirts.
Zhou Gongzi, who also saw everyone, was a little dazed, not knowing what happened.
Zhou Gongzi stopped when he heard the sound of the shackles, and that damn Xu Qian stopped, turned back, and said word by word:
"You should be glad that you didn't torture me. Let me introduce myself again. I'm a new disciple of the prison."
The old man's face changed greatly.
Zhou Gongzi's expression instantly lost control.
This is impossible, he cannot be the disciple of Jianzheng.
But seeing the full courtyard of the Si Tianjian in white clothes, Zhou Gongzi and the old man kept silent.
Xu Qi'an ignored the two of them, went straight forward, glanced at the people in white, and unexpectedly didn't see Miss Caiwei.
That oval-faced little beauty isn't there
Wang Zhaotou delivered the alchemy secret book, but Miss Caiwei was not there... But the alchemists in Sitianjian saw the contents of the book, so they came to save me
Or Miss Caiwei can't get away from something, please come and save me!
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, and in the sound of shackles, "Xu Qi'an has seen several brothers."
Brother? Song Qing was stunned, looking at Xu Qi'an: "You wrote the book?"
His eyes were a little bad... Xu Qi'an nodded: "This is not the place to talk about things. After leaving the punishment department, Ning Yan knows that there is no end to what he wants to ask."
Seeing Xu Qi'an talking with Si Tianjian Bai Yi, Zhou Gongzi's expression was a little dull. He looked away stiffly, and he didn't want to believe it was true. He hurried to Sun Shangshu's side and said in a low voice:
"Master Sun, the people of the Sitianjian..."
Sun Shangshu glanced at him: "I want someone."
Zhou Gongzi shook his body.
The thin old man breathed rapidly.
Is he really a disciple of the supervisor? ! This is impossible, and if he is a disciple of the supervisor, it is impossible for the Xu family to be affected by the tax and silver case.
Tax case! !
The thin old man thought of a possibility, if it was a tax case and he was taken as a disciple by the prisoner.
He did solve the secret of taxation silver, and made fake silver. Such a genius who learned alchemy without a teacher, only when the prisoner was right, the possibility of making an exception and accepting apprentices is not impossible, or even very large.
Besides, he wasn't a disciple of the supervisor, so why let this group of white clothes gather here.
At this time, the thin old man noticed the two silent Confucian scholars and the strangely dead horse.
He stared at it for a moment, suddenly his body shook, and he recognized the two great scholars of Yunlu Academy.
The thin old man rolled his throat, "Lord Shang Shu, those two great scholars..."
"It's also here to ask for someone." Sun Shang wrote expressionlessly.
Zhou Gongzi's face was stiff, he turned his head a little, and looked at the old man.
... .
"Are you Xu Qi'an?"
Xu Qi'an turned his head to look, and the speaker was an old man in a gray robe and a goat beard. He thought to himself, who are you, Mr.
"I'm the teacher who resigned from the past." Another blue-robed old man said, he looked at Xu Qi'an with a gentle smile: "Mochou has no confidant in the future. Who in the world does not know you. But you wrote it?"
"The junior's humble work made the seniors laugh." Xu Qi'an said, "Zi Ningyan."
It is the most basic etiquette to introduce one's "word" to a stranger, because it is very taboo to call him by his first name. If you don't introduce your "words", the subconscious meaning is that you don't want to make friends with people.
The smile on the face of the blue-robed old man became deeper and deeper.
"This is the matter, let's leave the punishment department first." Song Qing couldn't help urging over there.
Immediately, a jailer stepped forward and untied Xu Qi'an's shackles and shackles.
"Okay!" Xu Qi'an nodded.
There were smiles on the faces of the people in the Sitianjian, the goal was achieved, the people were coming back, and they were looking forward to the next meeting.
The two great Confucians, Li Mubai and Zhang Shen, were also unwilling to stay for a long time, because they would be greeted by a fierce competition.
"call!"
Seeing Xu Qi'an leaving with the crowd, Zhou Gongzi was relieved, and he felt apprehension and fear in his heart that he didn't want to admit.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Qi'an suddenly stopped.
Si Tianjian and the two great scholars looked at him.
"I still have something to deal with." Xu Qi'an cupped his hands, turned and walked towards Young Master Zhou. When he passed by the jailer, he grabbed the wooden shackles with his hands.
"You, what do you want to do?" Zhou Gongzi stepped back in shock.
"Xu Qi'an, my father is the Minister of the Household Department, you dare to touch me? You dare to do it in the Punishment Department? Master Sun, Sun Shangshu, take down this thief... Uncle Chen, save me..."
boom!
Xu Qi'an threw the shackles, and smashed it on Zhou Li's head fiercely, and the broken wood flew across.
Zhou Gongzi's eyes turned white, and he fell straight backwards, with dark red blood flowing from his hair.
Xu Qi'an looked at the thin old man expressionlessly: "Shoot me to death."
Silence!
"In front of my brothers and the lords of the Ministry of Punishment, in front of the two great Confucians, shoot me this ant to death, hurry up."
The anger on his face receded like a tide, and the thin old man froze there, not daring to move.
…
I have walked through the gate of hell. Sure enough, only the second generation of officials can deal with the second generation of officials. The fairness and justice of the law are limited to small people... Xu Qi'an is bathed in the sunshine of early winter and feels that he has gained a new life.
Just after leaving the yamen of the Punishment Department, Xu Qi'an saw two fast horses galloping at the end of the long street, Xu Erlang and Xu Ershu.
The father and son also saw Xu Qi'an surrounded by Si Tianjian's white clothes, and Uncle Xu's tense face was obviously relieved.
Why are the people from Sitianjian here... Uncle Xu's eyes flashed with doubts. He himself is a master at the peak of Qi training, and he participated in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and he will not worship the warlocks of Sitianjian like ordinary people.
Xu Xinnian restrained the horse's reins, glanced at his cousin without leaving any traces, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed deeply: "Thank you teacher, thank you Mr. Mubai."
Xu Qi'an had to bow to the people in the Sitianjian first, and then, together with his cousin, bowed again to the two great Confucians.
Li Mubai said regretfully, "How could such a poetic talent become a clerk, Ning Yan, are you interested in coming to Yunlu Academy to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism?"
Within two quarters of an hour, Ning Yan called... Zhang Shen added: "It just so happens that I can worship at the old man's door."
Xu Qi'an: "???"
